> where it's safe to think that whoever is in charge of managing it has a security background.

Or even if they don't have a security background, that they'd at least be more secure than the average user. I guess a certificate is also something that you don't need to write down and remember, which could help.

Would a good takeaway be that expiring passwords would be helpful, if users weren't terrible about password management?
I 100% (100,000%!) agree that we need to resolve our housing supply issues. It's a major contributing factor to homelessness.

The rest, I mostly disagree.

The primary reason for the limitations on after donation use is because that's how donations generally work. It isn't a homeless thing.

People will not give you money or other assets if you don't first tell them what will be done with it. If you don't give them some control, most people won't give you anything at all.

A lot of homeless people have complex issues. Yes, helping them really is more complicated than "just give them a house!"
Ya, excellent points. I'd probably still make minor pedantic arguments about whether brave new world or 1984 is easier to defeat but I generally agree otherwise. i.e. if the people's lives are going down the tube, you know there's specifically one person to revolt against. If lawmaking has a zero percent correlation with popular opinions [1] and your elected officials spend 2/3 of the time fundraising [2], what do you revolt against?

Isn't the API just storing in RAM and letting a page file do its thing?
> sacrifices some of the abilities of GNU Parallel

Like... the ability to run things in parallel?

Loop looks nice, don’t get me wrong. I think I’ll try it! It just seems like comparing it to Parallel is misplaced here, and a bad idea in general, since they’re not remotely related. Ole is comparing all these utilities to Parallel to show how general Parallel can be, and suggest you only need his one program and one syntax to emulate hundreds of different utilities: his argument is implicitly that people should use Parallel and not loop.
I don't think the argument has to do with speed of typing; that is a minor concern, since the bottleneck is thinking of what to type in the first place. The issue is the intelligibility of the resulting program. That probably sounds counterintuitive, because people always say that long explicit names make code more readable—but this is only true of code locally. It is not true of programs as a whole. Using long names makes programs longer, as does factoring out subsections into functions and naming those functions. A longer program is harder to understand than a shorter one, and the delta expands non-linearly as system size grows. There's a deep tradeoff here, much deeper than the popular discourse around software development has ever accounted for.

You can see this come up in the OP where the author introduces functions (listAttachment and attachmentInfoLineToAttachmentId) into the example without including their definitions, which would probably double the size of the example.

If you have a rich set of orthogonal, composable primitives, you can do powerful things in a line or two that would require 10x or more code in other environments. The tradeoff is that you have to actually learn the primitives to the extent that you become like a craftsman in a workshop whose tools are all at hand and who can reach for each one as needed without thinking. If you don't know the primitives, of course that line or two will be inscrutable.

The pictures in the article show the business sings were removed as far as I can tell.
The book is about much more than stock picking, though.

It is a good read. And still relevant.
Well, the way it would work is that you should get a _discount_ on future orders if you return the bin. But that would require Amazon to raise the initial rate, which they don't want to do. This is why so many states still have laws on the books requiring and setting rates for deposits for glass bottles.

They don't need a house. They have shelters and its known many if not most choose not to use them. So its their own fault.

Its well known in Los Angeles where we keep burning taxpayer money and the government officials keep making their friends rich by building more shelters that aren't used. So its just a waste until we make it a crime for them to sleep on the street and loiter and harass people if there are shelters available. They just cause trouble and commit crimes, that's what they do best.
It's worth looking up the law in question, instead of their description.

Here the exemption is for:

> (h) Possession of rifles and shotguns and ammunition therefor by nonresidents traveling in or through the commonwealth, providing that any rifles or shotguns are unloaded and enclosed in a case;

I'd think that it would be hard to argue that "traveling in or through" doesn't include staying in some sort of accommodations during your trip.
By "saag" OP means spinach, not mustard leaves. I think the confusion is that saag specifically means saron da saag in Punjab but the meaning changes elsewhere.

The big banks are some of the owners of America. I'm talking they're paid up huge with the right people with most other sectors depending on them, too. You can tell whose on the list in some way by looking at who made the bail out happen with the biggest amounts after the 2008 financial crisis. Goldman Sachs appears to have led that with the Treasury head being an ex-CEO. With that level of subversion, they can get away with a lot.

Previously, they got a trillion dollars or so in bailouts, some billions in fines, little control of how they spent the bailouts, and criminal immunity for what led to it. Then, banks like Wells Fargo kept pulling every scam they could on the taxpayer with basically no response from the government. Yeah, they all own the government exploiting it to their benefit. Expect them to do more since it's their country. You always know by looking at who pays [massively] and who gets paid [massively] in unjust ways.

Also sometimes it is a feature. The payload of a NaN value can be user defined and some programs use it[1]. The string "NaN" drops information that might be usefull to some programs, it just doesn't affect as many as null -> "null" does.

Microsoft most major chromium impact is to move input handling off the main thread which has been empirically a massive success on Edge.

This would allow chrome to have lower input lag than native GUIs if it's not already the case.

They are also working on many cool things, openXR support for example.
They are improving chrome devtools (and their integration within vscode)
They are doing many performance related fixes.
And they are massively modernizing windows apis used by Chrome. E.g better performance for sensors through new windows 10 API.
And the smart use of a Kalman filter for sensors.

They are also helping chromium to support windows ARM 64 bit

A real time view of what they are doing:

Good thing it's illegal to trade or sell the things they buy and use the money to buy alcohol. Oh wait... it isn't and you're all dumb.
I guess voice acting will be stripped from the older game, so it will require owning both.

See that's the problem. At the end of the day, its humans trading with humans whether it's 100 people or 10 Billion. The core of any economy and any transaction is trust. Trust that you are getting an even barter for your payment. Profits are always second to Trust in any market and when that trust is violated by clever accounting, there is always a time of reckoning.
You never need to use another plastic bottle, single-use cup, fork, or bag again for the rest of your life.

Try this challenge: go for a week without using those things. However far you make it, I bet you'll find it easier and rewarding than you expect. The goal doesn't have to be to fix all the world's problems by yourself overnight, just a new experience. It will probably lead to institutional and government change faster than not acting and it costs nothing anyway.

Everyone I know who has tried has continued because they enjoyed the experience.

If you live in Flint or some place similarly polluted and need the bottles you can still do the experiment.
There's a lot to be said in favour of investing into a low cost ETF that attempts to passively approximate the distribution of stocks as they appear in the market.

I think there are potential advantages to selecting stocks or weighting stocks according to criteria other than market capitalisation (unlike passive investment approach) but most people who try to do that do worse than a passive approach.

A passive investment approach like putting money into VT ETF depends upon some fraction of market participants doing the work to actively set market prices. If enough of the market goes nuts and bids up the price of some security far above its actual value (e.g. IPOs for businesses that run at a loss with no obvious path to making a profit) then the downside of a passive approach using market capitalisation as weights is that you will invest some tiny fraction in these companies with irrationally inflated market caps.

Part of it is also a question of how much time and mental energy you want to put into learning about how to value companies and investigating options for investment. Investing in 30 individual stocks vs 1 ETF also creates about 30x as much work at tax time...

You can still reserve one value as a control character and have non-text streams that don't need prefixing of data frames by size.

These are also easier to recover the data from in case of corruption, or re-sync the receiver, since you have a control byte you can sync on.

That's the main difference IMHO.

Certs that need some manual procedure to renew already share one of the problems of changing passwords: it's yet another notification that something needs to be done soon(tm), and sometimes it will not happen until it's too late.
Probably JS8Call instead. It's an FT8 fork that allows for arbitrary text. Worth checking out.
Why not both? Neither works right now, it's probably prudent to try as many interesting things as possible.
The largest failure of the early web was that the innovators didn't realize how interested people were in having a little spot to call their own. I would take advantage of that and build a simple app for the kids to create their own spot. Let them build it, modify it, whatever... my guess is that it will generate some interest...

Bitcoin was designed to be honest and sound money. In the way that gold once was. Contrary to the way fiat money is.

For now, the fundamentals are simple: supply side is fixed and known, and demand is speculation.

In the ideal case for bitcoin, over time, people will gradually use bitcoin more for actual commerce. As this adoption increases, liquidity increases, and price becomes less volatile. The speculation we have now is the necessary first step on that road, because it gives bitcoin a price (i.e. props it up) and gives it some liquidity.

People complaining that bitcoin is just for crime are slandering it.

People complaining that it has no intrinsic value don't understand that nothing in the world has intrinsic value, including gold. Intrinsic value is bad monetary theory derived from bad philosophy.
The homeless problem is really a drug problem. How many millions of Latin Americans have moved here in the past few years? None of them are living in tents on the curb or shooting heroin in a BART station. The down and out people who are homeless between jobs overwhelming get relocated in homes or shelters and get support. The people you see living in tents on the street are hardcore drug addicts and mentally ill who refuse social services. Prop 47 legalized theft up to $1000 and Prop 57 made heroin and meth basically a parking ticket. So now you have armies of drug addicts roaming around stealing stuff and killing themselves and they’ll never be forced to get treatment. We pat ourselves on the back and say that’s for the best. What a joke. Bring back conservatorship laws and mental institutions and forced rehab programs.
Funny that you should mention that song. That's of the ones I'm using to test! Another is "Angel" by Massive Attack. I think both are decent for testing lower frequencies.

I have the premium version of Spotify and have streaming quality set to the highest setting, "Very High" and I definitely notice a difference. Not sure what you mean by HQ toggle.

So far, I've compared to Qobuz and Tidal in terms of quality. Spotify beats them both in terms of interface and discovering new music.
In a 64-bit only world, that isn’t a bad strategy. I would guess a lot of this is just legacy from having to or having had to support 32 bit OSes.
My understanding of this appeal to institutional investors is that it's simply a good risk-reward macro speculation play. A decent amount of macro folks are forecasting some sort of monetary crisis or at least significant inflation in the years ahead.

In the scenario that there is a full-blown crisis that requires a currency reset rather than just restructuring, what are we resetting to? Assign probabilities to gold, silver, a new fiat currency, or cryptocurrency. Given the small market cap of Bitcoin, a small investment would pay off incredibly well if that's where the chips fall down the line.

At a market cap of ~180 Billion USD, Bitcoin has a market cap similar to Pepsi Co. The USD monetary base is something like $4000 Billion and all gold ever mined is worth about $7500 Billion. Of the three, Bitcoin is a growth play plain and simple. Even if it's the least likely system of the future, a probability above 0 means institutions will likely buy some as a hedge. (Edit: That is, if institutions are ever allowed to. Many pension funds in Europe are forced to buy negative-yielding government bonds... sigh.)
Huh, how do you deal with the problem of law enforcement assuming that an IP is a single subscriber? Even if law enforcement believed it up front, it still is a hassle to the users now dealing with law enforcement requests.

Modifying sites with browser dev tools is a great step, and a good lesson in "it's trivial to fake a screenshot of a website" at the same time.

I'd recommend using glitch.com for the last part: Web editor, you can fork a template and it's actually online immediately.

A simple JS-game could be fun too, but it'll be tricky to show that effectively in the time.
Prioritization is a collaboration in many parts: between members of a team including the manager, and between managers, their managers, etc.

Often ICs don't have the context necessary to contribute much to the conversation once it leaves the sphere of influence of the team they're on--and more importantly most of them don't want to acquire that context, often because they view it as inferior work that is beneath them. They don't see value in management because they can't see past their own egos and myopia.

Homeless people need a LOT more than a house. Every single one has their own story and circumstances. From what I have read about people who have made their way out of homelessness at my local Rescue Mission, it was a multistep, and long, road to get back to "normal". One man spent years at the Mission. Just giving them a house would not have saved them.

Saag paneer is not a side dish in India, or in any Indian restaurants I've been to in North America. Saag paneer served with rice or naan forms a meal just like butter chicken with naan. That Indian meals often have multiple entrees does not make saag paneer a side dish in any way.

> "Lie" might be a more appropriate word than "myth"

This whole line of thinking is why stories like these get great engagement on social media and never really lead to any changes in behavior. A debate over whether omission or generalization are forms of lying gives you a fractal space of debate that's easy for non-experts to opine on. So go the articles to the top of the voting-based social media algorithms. And yet nothing gets done.

As a non-expert whose only dog in this race is living on this planet with everyone else, I'd urge you to stop speculating on solutions. Look at people or movements that it seems everyone agrees with, especially across political divides. It's not going to be this really arcane stuff you're talking about, like shipping containers or whatever.

Take electric cars for instance. Driving is this thing where everyone agrees they want to do it but they all hate other drivers. It's a unique political situation: agreeing with people that you should drive, and simultaneously hating those people! Electric cars give people what they want in a way that despite hating each other they'll agree, and if you pay attention to what environmental solutions (particularly technology) actually gets adopted, it tends to look like this.

In your example, you're basically talking about something like electric cars, which is good, but then speculating you actually know what the packaging solution would look like, which is bad. People have even speculated about electric cars for a century! But if you really thought this was what the solution is, go and do it. Go and make those standardized boxes and try to sell them to Amazon.

It's not about being right or wrong even though it feels that way. That's an illusion created by social media. Elon Musk's worst moments are when he's going into crackpot conspiracies. The reason he's beloved across political divides is all about going out and doing shit. But you ain't that guy, you don't have a billion dollars to transcend feeling good on social media.

So you don't need to speculate about "garbage manufacturing industry" conspiracies or why Amazon does this or that. Go work for Amazon and create new packaging for them, or tell them what you would pay for, or support people who actually go and do the thing. But don't just click upvote and feel good.
Maps does this too, I've experienced it first hand (and in another post I gave a link to maps driving directions doing it which you can reproduce for yourself most saturday mornings).

Perhaps Waze does more of it but maps is by no means innocent of it.

Years ago the people running maps seemed to care. When I found maps specifically directing drivers to break the law (route through dulles airport in order to bypass the tolls on 267) a report to maps was almost instantly acted on to correct the behavior.

Today maps makes innumerable mistakes and creates enormous externalized costs including tremendous amounts of pollution, disruption of people's quiet enjoyment of their properties, and even occasional loss of life (see article on maps directing drivers onto railroad tracks) and google cannot even be bothered to respond.
Washing all that stuff in usual ways would use tons of water and soap and energy. It's possible that the cost of washing reusable containers would exceed the cost (in energy/resources as well as money) of making disposable plastic and paper.

It's a really hard problem. A solution would have to figure out an efficient washing process as well as the form factors.
You focused on the wrong thing. It's not about exhaling carbon, or as you originally stated, "producing" CO2. It's about the absorption of Oxygen.

Consider a popular idea, that planting 1 trillion trees to scrub carbon through transpiration, I assume you're familiar with it, is given real credence as a solition to heterogenic climate change then why are you so quick to dismiss the notion that humans doing the exact same thing by breathing isn't an aspect of the problem of increasing CO2 PPM?

My argument, was if the article is all about human population booms ending and thus with it Capitalism, and the author still only correlates economic activity to increasing climate danger then its irresponsible and uninformed. Undermining the entire premise of the article.
> Microsoft most major chromium impact is to move input handling off the main thread which has been empirically a massive success on Edge.

I'm confused by these statements (not just yours but in the article as well) about how Edge performs so well; I have not seen anything like that on the Windows 10 systems I am forced to use (for work). On those systems Edge takes forever to load, forever to open a new tab, and will randomly make the mouse cursor disappear when it's doing something it considers more important than responding to my input.
