Money is not. But your job is.

If destroy a department, money does not bring it back to life. It disposes of its materials, disperses its personnel, and loses its laboratory. Unless somebody volunteers to keep your data, it gets lost.

And if you're working in biology, samples and research animals will be literally dead.

It is "irreparable harm" in the legal sense.

We were the last people in town to get a flat screen TV. In 2015. We still had a 27" Sony CRT TV. That thing was beautiful. It didn't bother me really until one day.

A young person about 10 years old came over "What's that thing hanging off the back of your TV?"

I got some nice parts out of that TV, and cracking the vacuum seal on the CRT was just so satisfying.

Yeah, Lustre supports EFA as a network transit between a Lustre client and a Lustre server. It's lnet/klnds/kefalnd/ in the Lustre tree. But Lustre doesn't support NVMeoF directly. It uses a custom protocol. And neither does EFA. Someone would have to modify the NVMeoF RDMA target/host drivers to support it. EFA already supports in-kernel IB clients (that's how Lustre uses EFA today). So it's not an impossible task. It's just that no one has done it.

If you read the entire paper you'll see that the paper presents a formalized set of security goals that acknowledge Nostr uses public keys as identities. They haven't misunderstood the system. Meanwhile: the cryptography is obviously unsound: it relies on unauthenticated CBC, and signatures that aren't verified, and provides attackers with the ability to coerce users into following links.

Yes, the argument was: You shouldn't freeze the bank accounts of people (trucker or not) just because you disagree with them. I don't see how this can be seen as controversial.

I travel often for work and have used the various apps more than I would like.

Uber eats, regardless of the city, has been the worst experience by far of the major delivery apps.

And when problems come up like food never arriving or missing entrees, Uber eats likes to offer something like 1/20th the value of the meal as a "we don't care, but here... go away" response.

Anyway, they've been so terrible they could have free cherub-powered instant delivery and I would never trust them with my food or payment information again. Good luck with the drones, though!

Ticketmaster + venues are incentivized to maximize primary ticket sales.

Ticket brokers are generally willing to take on the risk of buying up tickets to events on the primary market and constrain supply to turn a profit on the secondary market.

This works because TM and secondary platforms can claim ignorance and control the narrative: “we do our best to prevent bots”/“fans should be free to resell their tickets”

The only way around it is for the government to regulate prices, like they do in the UK (i.e. you can’t resell tickets for more than face value)

That means that TM/venues likely aren’t guaranteed as much profit, and ticket brokering businesses disappear, but both of those things are ultimately net negatives for consumers anyway.

Oh man, I had a good friend who collected repair manuals for electronics, especially those built before in the 80s and earlier, basically everything he could get his hands on. He was a huge (and gifted) hardware tinkerer who always had a cool project going. When he passed away, his wife basically threw the whole collection away. She wasn't trying to be malicious or anything, just trying to clean up old junk and get ready to downsize her life (and holy cow that room was quite daunting and disorganized, and frankly looked like piles of trash even it wasn't). Those early manuals were absolutely incredible. I read quite a bit through one that for a post WWII radio that badly made me want to become a collector. I remember seeing a model much like it at my grandparents house as a kid and one of my biggest life regrets was not trying to acquire that after they passed. Same with a really cool sewing machine from the same era.

There is something so magical about those early products.

> someone will buy a album because he have no idea about WTF it is

Based on the advertising I see in Nashville's Music Row, I'm pretty sure that actually is their strategy. The signs they put out usually have only the artist name as meaningful information, which is only helpful if you're already a fan (I guess it does get their name into your brain otherwise), and a QR code. I have no idea who scans the QR codes.

Some people have told me it's really meant for other people in the music industry, but it feels odd that they'd have to find out about music by random signs on the side of the road.

Alright. So offshore development it is!

Putting snark aside, I'd rather work with the H-1B visa holders who are here locally. Not only does it make it easier for me to coordinate and deliver my projects, but there's a lot of local tax revenue being generated by these folks that we lose when they're working overseas.

I've been wondering since the 90s why I don't work with more Americans, but that ship has done sailed: a lot of Americans don't want to do this work. Even though it brings good pay with it. I don't know why that is, but that's the way it is.

But forcing us to use more and more offshore labor? That's just stupid.

The fact that you need to install a hardware device to fake tap inputs is really sad. It should just be possible to install an app on your phone and check a box that says "let this app pretend to be me in a way that is indistinguishable for all other apps". Of course, users must be protected from malware, and app publishers must be protected from users who want to interact with their apps in an automated way. Somehow that all overrides the underlying truth that users should be in control of their own systems, and leads to hacks like this to bypass it.

Sun good

Science is good, but restraining all decisions behind FUTON biased double-blind longitudinal meta-analysis is not only unreasonably cognitiviely expensive, but not even the greatest idea.

When making decisions to personally guide your life, you can also base them on values, heuristics, paternal advice, common wisdom, etc...

It's obvious that the ideal amount of sunlight is somewhere between 0 and 100% of the time, I don't need to read a "The Economist" article with a clickbaity, possibly misrepresented title of a nuanced meta-analysis.

The proof is on this comment, it's never enough data, the conclusion is always that you need more funding:

>360,000 light-skinned Brits

>Emphasis on “may” - this is hardly a gold standard study

I didn't even need 1 subject, you need more than 360,000. You are out there running kubernetes for a blog and asking for more EC2 instances on top of a 3M$ bill, I'm out here running the whole company on 2 raspberry pis.

If wealth can be achieved by increasing resources or reducing necessities, I have achieved the nirvana of wisdom of the second kind while you still strive to amass more information to make a decision:

Be a bad person and a scumbag, Trump will pardon you. And all the religious nutjobs will still vote for trump because all their moral crusades are complete lies and nonsense. Pure hypocrisy.

I followed Nikola from the beginning and it was patently obvious that the company was a scam. And they managed to get the company to the stock market and valued at many billions. Totally insane.

The way they did it was basically to run a huge amount of Facebook ads, but they were selling the stock, not the product. And once the stock goes up, everybody just gets in a mode 'surely if it goes up it will continue to go up'.

They played on all the pent up 'hydrogen' is the real future bullshit that people have been talking about for decades. He was also pretty good at reading the social media and always pivoting the the new thing.

The ended up raising such an absurd amount of money they legit had to start building a real company (try to).

> He didn't sabotage oslo peace process he found a loophole that allowed him not to withdrawal from some of the territory in west bank prior to final settlement of borders.

He literally says in the video that that loophole enabled him to sabotage the entire peace process. Netanyahu has always opposed any "final settlement of borders." He does not accept the idea of a Palestinian state in any form, in any borders. Refusing to implement the agreed-upon withdrawals was a way of making sure the Oslo peace process would break down.

> video from 2001. Bibi is not PM for 2 years already

In the video, Netanyahu is describing what he did as Prime Minister.

> bibi boasting about something ? sure he does. he wants to appeal to electors. doesn't mean that he sabotaged anything.

"Don't believe your lying eyes and ears." Netanyahu is on video (which he doesn't know) candidly describing how he intentionally derailed the peace process. He's said throughout his career that he opposes a Palestinian state. He campaigned viciously against Rabin for signing Oslo. His party's charter explicitly rejects the 2-state solution. But you want me to believe that despite all that, Netanyahu actually supports the 2-state solution?

I installed iOS 26 on my iPhone 13 Pro three days ago. It’s still choppy, especially noticeable when looking at the new search window, which has laggy animations. Besides that, the most noticeable issue is just scrolling through pages of apps. On iOS 18 everything was smooth, but here I can see choppiness and lag. And no, my batter is not below 80%.

And the article agrees with you, and is pretty scathing about all the books except Narayanan’s (which is also the only book with a balanced anti-hype perspective):

I'm in a similar minority - I simply don't understand Gaudi's visions. Touring another building he designed left me in a similar state of confusion. His work strikes me as kitschy and impractical. The trick lighting is genuinely cool, but it strikes me in the same way as a Disney show. It's a skillfully designed light show that is designed to temporarily overwhelm your senses. Like a Disney show, I don't feel moved by the beauty - it's more a sense that you just saw something cool that had a lot of attention to detail. Unlike the Disney show (which isn't supposed to serve a purpose beyond entertainment), I leave a Gaudi building confused because the tour guide kept touting how practical everything is and I just don't see it that way.

> Was it really though? Paraphrased, Kimmel said that the killer was a republican. He had a republican background, but it didn't motivate the killing which didn't seem to have any particular ideology beyond (maybe) trans identity politics. So yeah, that was wrong.

Look I don't even pretend to know the truth. But the sitting governor of Utah, the highest authority on the investigation (which is being done by Utah state investigators), said the shooter had a "leftest ideology". NYT source: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/us/kirk-shooting-suspect-...

Now its fine to not believe the governor, but I am not one of the investigators so thats as good as I can get unless I believe in a conspiracy by the state of Utah itself, which I think warrants evidence.

Personally I don't believe in "group X verbed Y", as I do not believe that groups can act. Liberals didn't shoot anyone, conservatives didn't shoot anyone; a single individual person shot someone. Group identity is not interesting to me, nor do I find it helpful. I do find it very inflammatory tho, and think is a deplorable thing to say to uninformed viewers at home.

By "not nearly as bad as you think", what I mean is, the FCC has always policed content on broadcast television. Shows have been cut mid-air due to foul language. We have never had "freedom of speech" on broadcast television. And, if you notice that it's not even clear the FCC took any action, that it was actually ABC's distributors who caused the ruckus, then this is bog-standard "cancel culture", which, while bad, is hardly the death of free speech. I'd be perfectly unbothered if broadcast television died completely, thus reducing the FCCs ability to control the media period.

Yes, I'd love to live in a world with less censorship, less stupidity, less government control, but that's not the world we live in, and its not the world we used to live in, either.

You think most developers in the US were located “in the Bay Area”, went to Berkeley , and spent a career doing open source work in computational science and you call my experience “anecdotal”?

Most developers from the beginning worked at banks, government, defense etc doing boring enterprise work. That has always been the case.

They weren’t doing “research” writing COBOL for banks and the government.

In 30 years, I’ve worked at 10 jobs for startups, boring big enterprise companies, BigTech and I’ve been working in consulting (3 of those were working full time in AWS’s consulting department) for five years working with developers from startups, enterprises and government.

I think my exposure to a wide swath of the industry is a little bit more than working in California for 30 years…

Even when I was younger and single, all of us would hang out after work - males and females and go to the bar, the club, the strip club (yes the women too - it was their idea they were mostly BAs and one programmer), and just really enjoy the money we were making. We were all making $50K-$80K back when you could easily get a house built in the burbs for $150k-$170K.

Even as I got older, and change jobs in my mid 30s, by then my coworkers were mostly involved with other hobbies and our families. We weren’t even thinking about computers after work.

He didn't. First, he gave away a good chunk to early employees who didn't have stock when the IPO happened. Then, he liquidated his Apple in the mid-1980s.

He certainly could have made billions if he had been greedy (not given any away) and lazy (just lived off the dividends and never sold) and never done another thing in his life - more billions than Bezos.

Between 2015 and 2021, Americans diagnosed with invasive[0] melanoma had a 94.7% net 5-year survival rate[1]. That means, if all other causes of death were impossible, an estimated 5.3% of those patients would have died of melanoma.

That's a pretty good net survival rate [3], but it's not perfect. And it's possible that less care in avoiding excessive sun exposure could lead to any cancers being more aggressive. However, I don't have a reference for that musing, so feel free to ignore it.

[0]: Invasive means the tumor has left the tissue it started in.

[1]: https://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/melan.html

[2]: It would be higher if the official method for calculating net survival didn't, in my opinion, needlessly bias itself against cancer patient survival. The last time I reviewed the methodology notes, they compared daily hazards of death between cancer patients and everyone else. But, if the cancer patients had a lower hazard for a day, the difference was treated as zero instead of negative. This is a hill I'll die on, because their method pretends any confounding variables not in the model have no effect. Patients who catch melanoma early are probably less likely to die soon compared to those of similar age, race, sex, and location. An early diagnosis likely means they care enough about their health to visit doctors regularly and make good use of those visits.

I’m using the 2FA tokens, my complaint is that “npm publish” from my own machine has no guarantees of being an exact snapshot of trunk. And a worm could inject code into my system to do the Kernighan exploit.

I think over the last few weeks I have at least talked myself into going back to maintaining multiple user accounts on my laptop to separate personal, open source, and entertainment into separate accounts to reduce the last radius, but the fact is sometimes I like to do two things at once and that will be a pain.

Cooking really spicy food can cause everyone in the house to start coughing, even those who love eating spicy food, and even with a decent venting system. Then there is sea food, many preparations of which are going to smell like sea food no matter what you do. Or there are just recipes that involve lots of fish sauce (or any other heavily fermented sauces).

Baby octopus fried in fish sauce stink, even with a vent fan.

Plenty of dishes, and entire cuisines, need good ventilation.

And it's unlikely that more than a low 1s% of companies do agile as originally conceived. "Agile" has become everything it was originally opposed to: tons of process, specialized roles that have nothing to do with development (scrum masters), little to no direct communication with customers (at least in the places where I've worked). The dominant tool for doing "Agile" (Jira) says it all - a slow, heavy, bug tracking system with everything and the kitchen sink in terms of features often imposed on teams from the top down. Very "agile" indeed.

same! A long time ago I registered an adobe account with the email "<username>+fsck_adobe@gmail.com"

Adobe then got hacked and their account database leaked. Later I got a personalized spam email for a dating site sent to the same +fsck_adobe@gmail email. I complained, and they claimed innocence, saying they got the email from some sort of contact lead service. I then got in touch with that contact lead service's CEO, and of course he had "no idea" how that email got in there. I'm sure they knew very well how it got in there, and after I reported it, they just removed everything after a "+" on @gmail.com emails...

time of day and UV index is the most important thing, right? That is how you can accurately assess the “risk” of being exposed in direct sunlight.

Example: would you put on sunscreen when playing volleyball at the beach at 4:30pm, if the UV index at that time is 2 (UVI scale)? That seems completely unnecessary imo. And many people are vitamin d deficient anyway, so the minor sun exposure would certainly do more good.

If it’s around mid-day and/or the UV index is higher, say 4+, then i 100% agree with you that it’s prudent to apply sunscreen.

I'm pretty tired of things "sounding" okay. That was in 2024.

2025 has told me that actions speak louder than words. I don't really see much engagement on trying to "relate to each other" on this platform lately. Not from the community nor those who moderate it. Just a facsimile of trying to maintain decorum in an age of chaos

----

Rant aside: a company isn't a person to relate to. They are made of people, but those people clearly make no attempt to relate either. This is a PR response, which despite having "relations" in it is not an attempt to engage with the community nor promote curiosity. So I will treat it as such.

The examples given are from Sweden, so I guess that's where they're from. I live in Sweden and this is absolutely not a socialist country. Capitalism is very strong here, you're mostly free to invest capital in whatever you want with many ways to avoid taxes, just like in the USA, for example. There's higher taxes for the average, salaried person (though it's not at the highest levels compared with similar OECD countries[1]), but for investors, it's not so bad.

Also, salaries vary wildly between professions, lots of things, like rail lines, which are usually thought of as government concerns are privatized, neighbourhoods are more and more unequal (in Stockholm, you can go from a place where the humblest dettached house costs above 12 million SEK - around 1.3 million USD) to another where the starting price is more like 3 million SEK without travelling very far). It's definitely not "the same" everywhere (segregation based on ethnicity is crazy high, but that's another story).

So, I find it hard to consider Sweden to be anything like what you would associate with socialism (the only "socialist" thing in my opinion is the sales of alcohol - which is monopolized by the Government - but even that started opening up recently as they allow producers to started selling directly to the public from their production locations - like breweries).
