> than desktops as a whole

I'm confused with your comparison with desktops in particular. What does desktop vs. laptop have to do with it?
I would actually argue the contrary. I don't see where Tesla has established new sales channels or a new market. They are selling through the same channel (dealers) as traditional auto manufacturers. Yes, they revolutionized the engine, but other car manufacturers can follow suit.

Unless Tesla cracks the ride sharing market with self-driving cars (new market), for example, they are not out of the woods, yet.
VSTS is still down for us. TFS hosted code repos along with our entire bug system on VSTS means that no work is being done.

I suspect we are gonna have to wait at least one other day at best for this to resolve. Meanwhile my local code goes even more out of sync.

I’m probably just gonna spin up a git repo on my local machine and use that to share code with my team.
Sounds like what would have been called a “weak constitution”.
I think in the same way, however I never confirmed it. It also feels good, or less miserable, while you allow your fever to help fighting.
ii) definitely not true, but it doesn't hurt. Many corporations have policies requiring internal job postings for certain lengths of time before being able to hire someone from outside. The idea here is to promote internal, upward, growth with the hope that most people will be hired at the bottom and "work their way up". Smaller companies / startups tend to not have these policies and / or are not large enough for that to work so already having a job there doesn't necessarily benefit you.

iii) this has 0 impact in my experience. I do not know, or care, where you're from or your personal background and nobody should ask you this and you should not reveal it. What matters is; are you qualified? Do you have the experience and can you show me you work well with others and know what you're doing. At an entry position it's more about personality than skill. Although skill is still very important.
At this point, I am beginning to believe this might be a non-problem for the vast majority being framed as a problem for google to milk it somehow. We haven't connected the dots yet.
I'm surprised (and somewhat upset, though probably irrationally) there's not a black bar right now.
Object alignment in C is implementation-defined. gcc generally defers to the ABI: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Architecture-implementati... - note that 2^0 is a valid alignment.

The System V ABI appears to explicitly allow so-called misaligned pointer dereferences, which makes sense as misalignment is, in general, not really a big issue on x86:

"Compilers should allocate independent data objects with the proper alignment ... However, some language facilities (such as FORTRAN EQUIVALENCE statements) may create objects with only byte align- ment. Consequently, arbitrary data accesses, such as pointers dereference or refer- ence arguments, might or might not be properly aligned. Accessing misaligned data will be slower than accessing properly aligned data, but otherwise there is no difference."

Similar wording permits it for x86-64:

"Like the Intel386 architecture, the AMD64 architecture in general does not re- quire all data accesses to be properly aligned. Misaligned data accesses are slower than aligned accesses but otherwise behave identically. The only exceptions are that __m128 and __m256 must always be aligned properly."

The Windows x64 ABI has suggested alignments for max performance but appears to allow anything.

"Although the access of data can stem from any alignment, it is recommended that data be aligned on its natural boundary to avoid performance loss (or a multiple thereof)."
Talk to anyone in law school, interpretation of the constitution seems far more flexible than it should be. Look at how many amendments we have, yet many are not even considered. They play twister with a few to meet some end

Not to nitpick, but ASIO is closer to Australia's version of the CIA, as they are primarily focused on foreign "adversaries".

Australia has the Australian Federal Police, which is their version of the FBI.

Speaking of The Juice Media, I recommend watching their last Rap News, "Fate of the INTERNET - Feat. Dan Bull"[1]. It does a very good job summarizing the power struggle over the internet.

The real question’s not which one of these paths to chase;
but whether you can pursue them all, in a balanced way,
so that they keep each other in check with restraint
without letting any one of them dominate.

Decentralize and federate everything, and it becomes very difficult to even propose crap like this FVEY backdoor stupidity. If the protocol de facto forces everyone to act as peers instead of relying on central points of failure, abuse of power at any one point has limited reach.

Broken Genius – the case of William Shockley (2013)
I feel like this is missing his point, and he was actually asking if the change in currency value was mainly due to America getting stronger, or due to the other countries getting weaker. So far this comment thread has been fairly US-centric, and I believe he was suggesting it's more that these other countries are just failing, rather than the US doing particularly well.
Confirmed by whom? Can you provide a link to something authoritative? I feel that another comment on the Internet making a claim only adds to noise, not signal.

Sometimes, yea. There's tons of scholarships. Also exchange programs etc. But it's a family oriented culture so oftentimes it's just the family pooling resources. low cost of living doesn't necessarily mean low comparative income, engineers can pull up to 60k USD yearly there which is a huge sum compared to cost of living.
It's actually not even bad if people don't know how to read and write. It's great for tech stocks, and everyone will dictate beautiful letters with their phones.

I sympathize with them but a simple answer to your question is , leaving the city is an option. Technically people have options to leave the city if the cost of living is high enough that they cannot afford rent.
This will be the first argument against the "law is wrong".

I personally believe based on how US laws and public opinion works is that its better for them to leave the city and start somewhere the cost of living is not that high and they can get some kind of job (even if it is low paying).

I think this quote is a bit more accurate:

No. Open Source Software certainly does have the potential to be more secure than its closed source counterpart. But make no mistake, simply being open source is no guarantee of security.

Yeah, that is a good example of a company making a badly timed business decision and ultimately recovering completely unscathed (although it seemed like they were in hot water at the time).
While I wouldn't exactly recommend the book "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg (Gladwellian pop-psych productivity genre), I have several times remembered and successfully applied my one takeaway from reading it:

It's extremely difficult to break a habit, but a lot less difficult to replace a habit.

Meaning if I'm able to examine the habit (usually a compulsion or mindless ritual to pass time or ease some anxiety) and understand the role it plays for me or benefit I think I get by continuing it, even if I could never imagine just stopping it completely, it's surprisingly easy to just do something else [intentionally do a specific different thing] upon the moment of urge to doing the bad thing. Eventually I just forget about the thing I did before, and my life becomes easier and simpler.

Because you mentioned books, if you happen to have one of the classic bad habits of modern life (smoking, drinking, eating), I'm always amazed how often people cite reading Allen Carr's "The Easy Way"series as the absolute only thing that somehow, magically, against all odds, worked for them. https://www.amazon.com/Allen-Carrs-Easy-Stop-Smoking/dp/0615...
> “Operating independently from its governments...”

In Britain we'd probably make a distinction between elected government and civil service. I suspect the point being made here is of operation without sufficient legislative/executive oversight, which there seems to be at least some evidence for.

White-Hats Go Rogue, Attack Financial Institutions
People are a conundrum. We seem to want a brain-computer interface, or to free ourselves from our bodies and the fear of death, to let our consciousness live on forever, allowing our brains (in artificial bodies) explore the cosmos. We dream about it in books and movies; chat about it in coffee shops and in our spare time at work. When the opportunity to explore the possibility begins to present itself, we balk at the idea. This hasn't even reached any stage where emotions or thought might emerge, anymore than an early abortion could be considered a life to anyone but to the most ardent fundamentalist and already we are cringing at the moral implications.

Yes, I understand that we have to consider them before it is too late and a tragedy has occurred. We also can't stop progress on the notion that there is a "what if" scenario out there, like a boogie man waiting in the wings. Do it under supervision. Keep it transparent. But don't just stop it out of knee jerk fear of the unknown and what may be. How will anything move forward if we, as a global society become scared of everything?

I'm saying that an approach that covers an area large enough that you cannot easily traverse it has a chance of working, and smaller programs will always have to contend with the "importing more homeless" problem. IMO, that would have to be the entire country - getting a greyhound from Las Vegas to Los Angeles isn't out of reach, for example. But a statewide approach would still be less affected by this than a citywide one, which itself would be better than something on the scale of a neighborhood.

And even then, that's to have a chance. I don't think that "give a ton of benefits to the homeless" is a surefire solution to reducing homelessness. The Utah approach (fix the "homeless" part by giving them a home, then fix everything else) might work, but it requires a bit more societal trust than a lot of the country has.
"desktop" is shorthand for "desktop OS," which includes laptops.

That's how people commonly distinguish between Windows/Mac/etc. (desktop) vs. iOS/Android (mobile).
It's going to still cost a fair bit to get that far. Unless I'm lucky, the supercharger's due to fail soon, based on what other drivers of the same vehicle have experienced. Already spent a bunch on the valve body for a known shifting issue with the Aisin transmission. So if I make it to 2023, I'll have a neat looking car with terrible safety ratings compared to modern options.

I mean, I get it - my father drives his 1973 Z28, and it didn't make it all the way to 2018 without a lot of work over the decades. I think that if I lived in a suburban house with a garage, I'd lean towards keeping it as a project car. I've got a project building in Philadelphia instead (small venue, Airbnb & home, with walls originally erected in 1761!), and I walk ten minutes to work, when I'm not working from home, and it's a three minute walk to the subway/bikeshare/bus stop.

I used to find joy in taking care of my car, but in my current situation, it feels like I've got better things I could do with my time.

Parliament do have the right -- however -- to simply pass a law that says "oldandtired goes to jail forever" with a simple majority.
leaving the city is an option.

I travelled to San Diego when I was first homeless because that's where the soup kitchens and homeless services are. It was possible to eat every day.

Most small towns don't have the resources to provide such services to the homeless. If you are completely indigent, the nearest big city is your best bet for finding some kind of help.

We need to fix affordable housing and health care in the US. Those two things would go a long way towards reducing this issue.

But no one wants to do that and most Americans see zero connection between the lack of affordable housing and the high numbers of homeless people, which just flabbergasts me.
Now if only they would make Skype For Business comprehensible...I have tried many times to join (not host) a call run by someone at MS or one of their partners, and the links just end up taking me in circles. The host always said it happens regularly, and we just end up talking on the phone.
I agree that it seems some amendments are ignored, but also there is no one "right" interpretation of any amendment. I found this article, The Myth of the Rule of Law [1], to be very enlightening.

This is not the failure of the society, this is a decision
collectively made by the society.
Clean water , food and place to sleep has to be paid by the same society and largely US society through its law makers have made the decision that they don't want to pay for these things (they still pay for these up-to some limit).

It's a decision. Every country is different, for better or for worse.

That's a very seductive argument for the individual, but most species do have a finite lifespan, and that in itself is actually an argument for its adaptive benefit. Consider that genetic code could become dated or fragile over long time periods: it's never going to be in the individual's benefit to die, but it's much better in the long term for the species to be adaptable. It's not entirely implausible, but I'm skeptical that this would change in the far future.

Education levels were low and the population was much lower, essentially everybody lived in poverty, the scientific method hadn't been adopted and people in general did a very poor job separating religion/superstition with the workings of the natural world. Also information travelled slowly/not at all, and books were very expensive - so in the case of the steam engine, only very few people probably ever even heard about the engine after Hero's death for many hundreds of years.

There are tons of reasons. Really the past 250 years have been the extreme exception to the more "normal" state - it might be more appropriate to ask what we did in this time that changed things so much

Yeah I don't know much about APP. As far as I know, no one does; there doesn't seem to be any information at all about what OAuth scopes (if any) are allowed.

In general though I think we'd be better off with Google just adding more restrictive OAuth scopes and improving their logging functionality so that users can see how apps are using their data. I'm clearly biased since my app is built on Gmail OAuth, but I generally just think that for whatever issues OAuth has, pushing people toward browser extensions or IMAP is a step in the wrong direction.
After typing something into the firefox search bar, I was greeted by a google captcha that would not let me pass, since I was using a VPN. I then had to punch in duckduckgo.com into the bar to get what I wanted. It was unfamiliar and awkward to not be able to access google to find what I needed. Imagine the url didn't exist, the user would have no way to connect to the internet without going through google. I think Google wants to receive more traffic, collect more data, all while controlling users access to the internet.
Yes, I think they're crazy for not just focusing on the hardware and shipping AOSP. I think the point of having a completely open source/up-streamed kernel is that it's straightforward to run any mobile OS... that they're trying to invent their own at the same time is a little ambitious.
Exactly, this happens even in just a normal production failure. I don't know what else they could have said/communicated. Not to mention this is the 7th largest data center in the world, resolving the problem likely took/is taking a long long time just because there are so many machines. I was lucky that the only outage effect I've suffered from is that my storage is locked, which means I can't add new file/edit code in production...but that's much better than it being down completely. My databases are geo-redundant, so that was a blessing today.

Your argument was that "these incidents don't seem like that big of a deal." So in your fictional world where those three incidents are the only harassment that has happened, it's still a big deal as the system may fail the next time. In reality, there is already a mountain of harassment that the system failed to punish.
