I think that in order for our world to be peaceful and tolerant, we need to be extremely restrained in what expression we use the heavy hand of government to censor. I don't like tobacco or alcohol advertising, but I want to be able to live in a society with content I don't like (or even that I find dangerous) and still be healthy. I think that's important for the information age.
Every body is different and we react to different foods in different ways. The only mistake we can make it assuming other people's bodies work like our own. There is tremendous variation.
It seems even that is not enough. Most people would prefer it succeeds where the human fails, and is on the whole better than the human in every way.
Booth babes are not strippers. Yes, they usually wear revealing clothing and may behave provocatively but that's not part of the job description and their goal is to bring attention to their employer's product, not titillate passers-by.

Of course, there's a whole continuum here - you could argue that a flouncy woman whose job is to turn over tiles on a game show (wordlessly, naturally) is also a sex worker. Rule of thumb - could an ugly woman get the job? If not, it's sex work.

Sex work is not a continuum. Sex work involves (a) sex or (b) deliberate titillation, which is what strippers do by removing their clothes and miming sexual acts. Booth babes and Vanna White do neither. To claim that they are even remotely similar to sex workers is, quite frankly, insulting to women because you're suggesting quite loudly that the mere act of performing activities in tight clothing constitutes sex work.

Comments like yours likening booth babes to strippers and sex workers is precisely why they are now banned from CES. Because too many people assume they are sex workers and not actresses/models who are just doing a marketing gig.
That's true, but I believe that they'd arrive at similar techniques if they were rivaling Google. Today, it's a Cyborg-Behemoth vs a few scrap-yard tinkerers. If Bing & DDG had the budget and manpower Google has, the results would probably become more similar - but who knows, there might be completely different approaches to search that we just haven't seen.

In any case, we probably do agree that it would be very good in general if there was more competition in the search market.
Not end-user programmable, though.

For "food deserts", this can be fixed by requiring places to offer a good selection of quality healthy items in order to be able to accept food stamps. This will work, as long as the food stamp based income is significant enough for those shops (they wouldn't want to give up that revenue just to avoid adjusting their inventory). Same with a requirement to serve those with dietary restrictions.

For the affordability issue, healthy items can be classified as getting a discount on the food stamps. This can be implemented with food stamps plus coupons (that are only good when used in conjunction with them).

Well, maybe they had sex but didn't want to put that in the article.
One thing that has worked really well in our lives is to not have the TV in the main living space. Our kitchen/living room are all open and there is no TV there.

To watch TV, we have a theater room. So it's an intentional act to go in and watch something, we don't just leave stuff on in the background.

Obviously being able to segregate this isn't possible for a lot of people's living spaces.. but it is really nice making it an intentional act. It's like my kids and their computers- we have a room for that. They don't have tablets. If they are going to play electronics, ok go there sit down and do it. But once you are somewhere else like the living room that is for reading/talking etc, not for sitting on a tablet.
Yes, but it's much more helpful -- and less abrasive -- to do so after answering their actual question.
Having lived in several parts of the US, I can say tell you anecdotally:

When I lived in a very poor neighborhood, the local Walmart didn't even have a fresh fruits and vegetable section. Nothing. They had a canasta of apples and bananas near the register, that's it. And it wasn't a small wallmart either.

There was a nice neighborhood, about 10 miles away, that had a Walmart with a wonderful selection of fruits and veggies. Since I was poor, I would drive there.

I've done better financially and now live and go to nicer supermarkets. But I have noticed a direct relationship between the amount, quality, variety and freshness of fruits and veggies in rich vs poor neighborhoods.

Personally, I always chucked it down to overall profitability per user. For example, rich people supermarkets have many more low profit/even loss leaders, because the average bill is much higher.

From my understanding, profitability per product varies tremendously in supermarkets (from loss leaders to products where the vast majority of the sale price is profit)

In poor areas, the average bill is low, and losses from stealing/vandalism go way up (I actually found a human feces laying on the floor in the poor neighborhood market I went to)

I'm guessing perishables have way lower profitability vs canned/packaged goods.

America has such a huge divide between areas, it's like different worlds: people talk, dress, and act very differently.

My guess is this is better in places with less separation between rich and poor (like dense cities), since the supermarkets have to offer good stuff to the poor if they want to reach the rich.
> Keybase is a CLI

Keybase has a relatively functional electron app on Mac and PC that I've used, and presumably also Linux.

Isn't the goal with Keybase to see "this person is accountiknow on Github" and do verification that way?
Firefox has a built-in password manager, so plaintext passwords are necessarily stored in that database. The backend comparison service they're using supports a near-zero-knowledge protocol that allows clients to check for compromised passwords in the database efficiently without ever sending the password (or even a hash of the password) to the backend.

Also they can just query all the usernames (email addresses) of the accounts and get notifications if any of those usernames have appeared in breaches.
There's more about how Mozilla obtains the data here: https://www.troyhunt.com/were-baking-have-i-been-pwned-into-...

I don't think there's been studies, but it seems obvious to me that the goal here is to prevent re-use of leaked passwords, and I'd consider it a surprising result if this wouldn't help in that.

Interesting, the day Google starts using this for their own engineering hiring I will believe it's worth pursuing.
Great idea! We're actually piloting that right now. I think it would be promising especially since companies ask employees to travel and have otherwise larger footprints from work.

It's the relative quantities and pricing and placement of the various kinds of foods.

There was a much larger selection and variety of fresh breads. The meats and cheeses in Italy heavily emphasize where and how they are produced, with official designations enforced by law. You can get those products imported in the US, but they cost a lot more, of course.

In general, the most common items in Italian supermarkets are what get labels like "artisinal" and "organic" and much higher prices than what you would pay in Italy.

And I still haven't seen a convenience store in the US with high quality fresh breads and cheese.

Maybe the simplest way to think about it, the average Italian supermarket is Whole Foods but much cheaper.

(And don't get me started on the pinnacle of civilization that is the Italian Bar! I need to write a blog article on that.)

I will say, now that I'm back in the U.S., I have been finding the fresh bread and fruits and vegetables, and where they are cheaper, that maybe I missed before because I was seeking it out.
Its impossible to really know because I'm not them thus I say maybe, but it certainly possible that they think is the moral thing to do right ?
> The difference is that the runtime lives in the browser, based on an open standard.

Java is an open standard (I think, I didn't fact check this thuroughly) OpenJDK is the reference implementation of that standard. You can try to claim that in reality Oracle has a lot of control, but I'd come right back and say that Google basically controls the browser.

> The success of WASM is that my mom doesn't need to know how to install Java

If OSs had bundled a Java runtime she wouldn't need to install Java either.
Isn't that the kind of policy that creates places like North Korea?

What do you see as ideally the primary API for something like this?

SQL is great for relational algebra expressions to transform tables but its limited support for variables and control flow constructs make it less than ideal for complex, multi-step data analysis scripts. And when it comes to running statistical tests, regressions, training ML models, it's wholly inappropriate.

Rust is a very expressive systems programming language, but it's unclear at this point how good of a fit it can be for data analysis and statistical programming tasks. It doesn't have much in the way of data science libraries yet.

Would you potentially add e.g. a Python interpreter on top of such a framework, or would you focus on building out a more fully-featured Rust API for data analysis and even go so far as to suggest that data scientists start to learn and use Rust? (There is some precedence for this with Scala and Spark)
Hundreds of millions of people are "negatively affected" by their government and a concerned human being appealed to compassion. Realists can acknowledge that countries and companies will negotiate according to their own self-interest.

Google is right in sustaining that it's up to Chinese citizens to uphold said government to standards (whatever they will be): it's a technology company that wanted an access to the Chinese market, not a charity working for the good of foreign people. That's extremely practical, not something that's on a scale of black and white.

When employees define Dragonfly internals as disturbing I'm prone to honestly think that it wouldn't have helped in finding censored material. Smells like something management would say to justify a money-driven decision. Looking for a gray scale in choices like these is a distraction.

Great work. It does a good enough job handling most common cases. At least for me.
As long as this is someone who's actually working on the tech and knows what they're doing, this is only an unfortunate and very sad cost of progress. It's the risk they take, because they know they're doing good work.

This does become a serious problem when it gets into the hands of people who don't know what they're doing, if they're convinced to trust the tech because "obviously the smart people working on it made sure it's safe".
My head hurts processing how it's possible to put so much storage there. If you strip away the protective plastic and other non-storage components, how much physical space is there?

Also, new spec sets the ceiling at 128TB. 128TB!

I'm guessing there will be another format before we ever reach 128TB, but still. What an amazing time we live in.

Btw, 400GB one is $53 on amazon.
True, but that's a self reinforcing feedback loop.

Eat junk -> Feel like crap, low energy -> Eat more junk

Not a good long term strategy. There are widely available low cost foods that can help break that loop. Rice, beans, eggs, frozen vegetables... In fact frozen vegetables are often more nutritious than non-frozen, unless you're eating close enough to picking time.
It's worse than that. That small thing heading toward the road... was that a leaf blown by the wind, or was it a ball? If it's a ball, you'd better be already braking, because a kid is likely coming right behind it, and paying attention to the ball rather than the road. If it's a leaf, though... you don't want to hit the brakes for every blowing leaf.
Try and give Firefox Containers a test too. It's a Firefox extension made by Mozilla that creates separate environments where cookies and session data are not shared. It's a great feature I never want to do without. I use it to create a wall between work and personal web browsing.
I encourage you not to conflate the 1% adult models and adult video actresses with the 99% population of models and actresses that are not sex workers.
Yes exactly until CCP reforms itself there is no point in deepening business relationships which we know will lead to more censorship against what are mostly unjust, inhumane, undemocratic policies of the CCP. Mostly to protect the party and its chosen form of governance which has been rejected by most of the rest of the world.
I actually don't have much experience with Haskell, however I do have experience with Scala and the Java and .NET ecosystems (and know personally some people very into F#). My assumption was that the libraries, build and test systems that work in JVM/.NET land probably don't work as well as in Haskell land. There are many JVM/.NET applications with very large development teams that have put a lot of work into tooling; I don't know of any large (in terms of active fulltime devs) Haskell projects so my assumptions is that these tools would be less mature there.

But perhaps I'm incorrect, hence my original use of the qualifier "probably"

Should everyone own a self-driving car and also a normal car they can drive in situations the self-driving car cannot handle? Keep in mind that public transit is nonexistent in many of the places that have weather conditions self-driving cars can't handle.

For me personally, if a self-driving car cannot handle 100% of the driving and I have to own a second car, I might as well just make that second car my only car and save a bunch of money. In that sense, it is all or nothing.

I don't really think treating self-driving cars as a ridesharing service is a good way around this. People don't want to share cars with strangers who trash the interiors and vomit in them after a night at the bar. People want to keep stuff in the trunk, go to Home Depot and buy a bunch of stuff, transport their pets, etc. -- all things that are difficult to do with a ridesharing service.
> Paying for ACCESS makes sense.

In the context of a typical end-user paying a non-profit ISP, yes. We share infrastructure costs and that's about it.

The problem is commercial ISPs only follow the money so you have the recurring cost of greedy shareholders to take into account in your equation. And that usually leads to not respecting net neutrality (as was the original subject of this thread).

So if you are in control of your own infra, price for access should be in the range of 1-20€/month. If you do xDSL, it has to be (a lot) more expensive (+15-25€/line/month).. as long as you're small. When you're big enough you can do local-loop unbundling and be back on the first price-range.

> Charging users for USAGE is DISGUSTING and is literally not fair.

Depends. For typical end-users, it's not a good model (you want a fixed price). But for associations, hosting coops, companies.. That's the usual approach for guaranteed bandwidth billing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile#Applications

That's a mechanism to make sure your friends and your small neighborhood association don't have bleed themselves to pay for the seedbox i want to setup in my garage :)
I've only been using Kubernetes for a couple months so far and am still learning, but I am very impressed so far. I love the way it facilitates dev and devops collaborating and the fact that it is cloud agnostic (I can even run a Kubernetes cluster on my desktop for local testing). My opinion so far is that the distributed cluster part is really solved by Kubernetes.
I have no issue with companies making profit but TurboTax is a bad product, with terrible scam-esque profit strategies, and actively preys upon the poor.

Their "audit protection", the constant nag screens IN A PRODUCT I ALREADY PAID FOR, their push for you to upgrade (with no discount at the end if you didn't use the upgraded features), and so on. Tie that in with the "spend your refund before you get" double dipping offers, and it's a scam.

I hate TurboTax, they have no real competitors, and the federal government should make them redundant.
Yeah, I would say the quality of food in even a discount Italian supermarket is more similar to the HEBs and Trader Joes.
The NES designers goofed and made the size of the view window (nametable) 240 pixels tall. This makes vertical scrolling awkward as it throws a non-power-of-two divisor into the math. The NES doesn't have a division instruction - only bit shifts, so having to divide by 240 is a real pain!

Also, Y-scrolling wasn't completely figured out until late in the NES's life. The register writes needed to do so are very strange, and Zelda certainly doesn't do it correctly!
Nice tips!! bat(1) is fantastic, wow. exa(1) seems neat, but the inconsiderate--and likely deliberate--lack of compatibility with ls(1) flags means I will never use it any time soon... I have decades' worth of aliases, scripts, and reflexive muscle-memory using GNU ls, so it's not even close to being worth the pain of changing.
Do we know that the developers didn't confirm this hack with the hardware people?

Well, latest gen thinkpad x1 carbon.

Beware that all machines in the world right now are struggling with the fact that windows invented a new sleep method (s3 or some shit, I can't keep track) which ubuntu/the linux kernel / something beyond my understanding doesn't support. LONG story short, some laptops running ubuntu can't sleep when the lid closes.

X1 carbon does now, but for example the HP Spectre does not (which is a shame because it's a great platform).

Good keyboard. Every port you probably need. Fantastic screen. Nub mouse thing. Runs ubuntu great.

If you're worried about transferring from OSX to some flavor of linux that's fair. For me I couldn't get window management like I wanted in OSX so Ubuntu + Gnome is actually a more comfortable environment for me than OSX. I say that as not some old linux fart - I just tried them all and naturally gravitated to the things old linux farts like.

I agree, it is a tough market. I say give a shot to non-aluminum chassis. The Thinkpad may not "look" as tough, but it reeeeally is, I've abused the absolute piss out of mine.
Yeah no contract, but if you don't formally cancel your month-to-month service they will send you to collections for the next months bill.
One should also not underestimate the roles that culture and ignorance play in food selection.

Don't bend over backwards to excuse people of personal responsibility.
But at the end you don't just show the footprint online, you only have the option to get it emailed to me.
Because the two goals are somewhat incompatible. The more powerful they make the hardware to please one crowd the less they can meet the "low power", and to a lesser extent price (need a fan now, etc), goals.
No, but if the title was instead "I gave up listening to [the top commercialized] music for a month and it changed my brain" I suspect it would receive a positive reaction.

This sounds like a weird variant of double checked locking where the check-and-take is part of the transaction. That sounds like it breaks composability.

Thinkpad is lighter/smaller, nobody has the x1 carbon beat for that.

If you're looking at other Thinkpads, the Librem machines may be worth investigating.

I'm not sure how well they run operating systems that run non-free software (this includes Ubuntu, note), they have some OS of their own?

If you want dumb-proof, tested Ubuntu-tops, then yea, Thinkpad.
i'm just responding to a strong and overly simplified claim, quoted above.

that people don't have cooking skill or patience indicates other problems other than access to food - i happen to agree - so i think it's fair to say the claim should include other things like: commuting etc. leads to low energy/motivation to cook leads to choosing unhealthier foods; lack of community structure means there aren't as many people to cook for so less efficient, etc.

again, OPs claim is that food access is "the problem"; i just think it should include other things, such as what you said.
