I remember watching that Source Awards when he made that statement. Some of the crowd were booing when they won the award which is why he said it. It took hip hop a minute to respect Outkast. Well I should say East Coast Hip Hop. The East coast vs West coast battle was still going on strong and both sides weren't ready to deal with the music revolution coming from the south which Outkast represented. The 90s were a crazy time in Hip Hop. But by the time Aquemeni came out they had earned their respect and that album just solidified their status.

The article is wrong though. While the night made the East coast vs West coast rivalry worse, it didn't start it. A rapper named Tim Dogg making a song called Fk Compton did. There was already tension but that really started the simmering.
> it doesn't feel more correct to the programmer.

I agree with the details of what you said, but the insidious thing about how Python 2 organized strings and encodings is that most programmers were free to ignore it and produce buggy software. Then, later, people who had to use that software on non-ascii data would try to use it and it would blow up. This would lead to a very painful cycle of shaking out bugs that the original author may not even be motivated to fix.

The decision to force encodings to be explicit and strings/bytes to be separate was a great design change. It literally made all our code more valuable by removing hidden bugs from it.

I've always suspected there is group of people in the US who are on crusade against Elon Musk's projects -be it Tesla, SpaceX,...-
I find it mind-boggling that there is a kind of "Let bring it down" pattern in America when some dreamers like Elon Musk are disrupting industries like car, Energy or Space with their endeavors.
Elsewhere he would be protected, supported and promoted by the whole nation and the government.
Am sure If Elon Musk was a Chinese he would have less hustle and media bashing than what he is going through...

They don't stock them, because growers don't plant them, because they don't transport or store well. More sugar means rots faster. Also, there's an enzyme(?) that forms just as the fruit ripens and gets tasty, that lets the skin split. So they pick them green, before either of those things happen.

There was a gene added that stopped the skin-split effect, so you could let them ripen and still transport them, but anti-GMO folk won't let us have them?

I 98.7% (close to 100% is my point) never wake up in REM anymore which is the "feel tired all day" state you would feel. I get thru at least one or two full sleep cycles relative to my ability to be percise-ish. I didn't know it was REM that screwed me. I thought, it was an, "at least 4 hours or you are screwed" type rule of thumb. The key is to get thru the full 90 minute (avg) 5 stage sleep cycle and then either wake up or commit to 2 cycles, etc. One or two still has you tired compared to a refreshing 4-5 (low end) or higher. But I was amazed that waking up in REM in the 5th cycle hurts worse sometimes, that getting only 90 cycle or two, egress before next round and surprisingly refresh I can get thru a day. I'm sure a non-layman in the field could turn my Dr. Suess version of an explanation to a more accurate and nuanced version.

Altering the flash chip would be too obvious. It's a textbook 101 supply chain attack...
Looking at the flash image (dumping it) or chip (x-raying it) would be the first thing anyone would do if they suspected something fishy. A tiny SPI man-in-the-middle chip sandwiched between the PCB fiberglass layers is a lot more discrete and more generic (same MitM chip fiddling with transmitted bytes can attack many different flash platforms, regardless of the sizes/pinouts/footprints of the flash chips).
I’ve got a Panasonic that I think I got from Costco a year ago. Not sure the model, but it says “The Genius” on it. It fails the “updatable firmware criteria” as far as I know, but it has some kind of passive food temperature sensor. There’s a button labelled “sensor reheat”, and the vast majority of the time it’s all I use.

It does a pretty damned good job of things. Frozen food will occasionally still have a cold spot, but it’s still way better than following the instructions on the package, which often results in either serious cold spots or a cheese/sauce explosion. For reheating leftovers, it’s perfect.

Edit: my partner informs me that the “keep warm” button does a really good job of making porridge for her too. Brings it up to a “just below boiling” temperature and keeps it there. She just watches it until it looks like the right consistency for her.

This is where you misunderstand. An anonymous source isn't "just some dude" who called in "saying so." Journalists, in the case Bloomberg, knows exactly who their "anonymous" sources are.

Again, how do you know this story hasn't been confirmed by multiple sources and isn't backed by solid facts? IIRC, Bloomberg claims they confirmed details with sources within the US Government, Apple, and Amazon. Apple and Amazon have issued denials, but its quite possible those denials may have been lies or the people who made them may not have had all the facts.

>Thousands of years of breeding have produced a fruit that often suits farmers and sellers more than consumers

Actually it's the opposite.

Modern breeding and other technical alterations has reduced tomatoes to a BS fruit that suits farmers and sellers (longer lasting, more colorful, more resistant, bigger) than consumers.

Tomatoes have lost a large percentage of their sugar content and flavor in the last 60 or so years for commercial reasons:

(...) the researchers also wanted to determine why store-bought tomatoes are so tasteless — i.e., "water bombs." It turns out that modern tomato cultivars are selected for qualities such as size, because consumers prefer large fruit, and firmness, because that trait makes tomatoes easier to ship, the researchers said. Meanwhile, the quality of flavor has been overlooked, the investigators said. We found that modern commercial varieties contain significantly lower amounts of many of these important flavor chemicals than older varieties [do]," the researchers said in the study.

Brave decided to protect users by default from privacy concerns, it may not be perfect, I'm going to give it a go and see.

Firefox offers various privacy features (check about:config), but they're opt-in and typically have a bar to entry for users to be willing to change settings and know what they will do.

Mozilla might claim to care about privacy, but by not clamping down on third party content and referers, it left most of its userbase in the position of having their privacy invaded by default when using their product. If you care about privacy you fix that, they didn't.
> But you can't mass-produce good tomatoes.

I thought the whole point of this article was that you can, with gene editing.
Your comment kinda highlights the point of the exercise. Attempts to breed shelf-stable varieties have accidentally bred out a lot of the flavor. But an analysis of the genes involved shows that these qualities are not inextricably linked. With the right tools, you can make tomatoes physically tough enough to ship well without sacrificing that tomato taste.
I've heard people complaining about how he pushes his employees too hard, and I always have an issue with this argument. It might apply to others, like maybe Bezos with his underpaid Amazon workers, but I don't really see how it applies to Elon.

He works incredibly hard, long hours. He takes big risks, and shares a lot of the risk. It's not like he's on top laughing away as his underlings work for pennies - he's the one driving business.
Sounds pretty normal, but when you attack Elon in any way, the former cryptocurrency now-tesla/spacex shareholders lose their tempers as if it's unfair.
Generally (I’m learning this stuff too). It’s gene to protein. You have to research what each protein does in the cell. Lots of research is about this. Crispr knock out is about turning off genes and seeing what happens.

2. Crispr has off target effects, they have some tools to help mininize those.

It’s hard as some genes have paralogs that produce similar proteins in the same species.

My typical advice, is ince you have customers, create an LLC as it protects you from some liability. A lawyer costs a bit of money, but is worth it.

In terms of where you are located, there may be different laws and protections for an LLC. So be careful to read them. Youll also likely have taxes to pay (I create my LLCs in wyoming - where taxes are much lower - I think just a fee)

Good luck

I know Brave has their own arguably evil agenda, but their Android browser right now is simply amazing.

Did you just compare modern life/economy to that of a hundred and fifty years ago? Really? Back in Kierkegaard's day it was considered normal to own another human being, there was almost no medical care, and vast majority of people in first world countries were illiterate, and lived in extreme poverty (by modern standards).

Even if you compare people of Kierkegaard's means (i.e. rich) then and now, it's still very clear that life is better today in pretty much every way.
You have to pay taxes in Germany, it doesn't matter if you found a company in the US, Estonia or somewhere else, you are living in Germany and that's the important thing that decides you need to pay taxes there.

In Germany you could do a "Nebengewerbe or Einzelunternehmen", where you can write invoices in your name, this is a fast way to get started.

Otherwise you have the UG, which can be created with 1 EUR "Stammkapital", or the GmbH with 25k EUR, but you only need to have 12,5k when founding it.

Which taxes have to be paid is different if you do the "Einzelunternehmen" or found a company (UG/GmbH). With the company there is the Körperschaftssteuer instead of the Einkommenssteuer, additionally the regular Umsatzsteuer (19%) and also you have to pay Gewerbesteuer. Gewerbesteuer, Körperschaftssteuer and Einkommensteuer all have a free amount per year, if you don't hit that limit you don't have to pay it.

I would advise against founding in a different country, because taxes have to be paid in Germany and founding a company outside of Germany makes it a mess and really expensive.
Would not a better solution be to process the file as a byte string?
You raise a good point.

People are free to do how they like with their money, but outrageously some spend it frivolously in cheaply-made art for status or tax evasion purposes.

Bill Gates late-life philanthropy raises a counterpoint to this, in my view. The wealthy don't owe anything to anyone, but that's how a person starves to death waiting for a little mercy. Mr. Gates now invests in saving people, not in art, and that's a worthier status giver.

From a moral point of view, they should be charitable since they have so much that giving away a little bit of their fortune would have a tremendous impact on a significant amount of people while themselves being none the worse for it.

New Yorkers can be so insufferable. “It’s the best city in the world!” is held as gospel truth there. But what that actually reveals is how parochial they are! Funny people, funny place.

How do you think these products are parasitic? And how do you think they add the same as Chrome?

I’m not familiar with Vivaldi, but DDG has a different business model because it’s self imposed limitations on user data that has privacy sensitivity.

And Brave is quite different as it eschews ads altogether and rather uses its Basic Attention Token for users to directly find sites and take a cut [0]. This method requires no user data and is really different that Chrome that requires extensive user personal data to maintain its desired profit margins.
