Spoken like a "Them", and not a "us".

I've been on both coasts. I've been in big cities. The prosperity is there. The hope is there. The schooling and resources are there.

My family came from the Appalachians. Hill country. they live off the land, cause the only money is from tourists. They used to work in the mines, but 'them environmentalists' ruined their livelihood and ended their bodily suffering so their kids could do better. But in doing so, the coastal elites destined those cities, those families to poverty.

But this poverty is working in restaurants, working menial service jobs that pay $8/hr, no benefits, and no vacation. And remember that in the USA, your property tax is linked to school funds. Sure the feds pitch in a bit, but not that much.

So you get: bad education, bad jobs, no upward mobility, low/no healthcare. You get poverty equal to what we'd call 'Third World'.

So when I see a bunch of coastal elites say blasely, "Why cant the blue collar workers just learn programming and be rich?" It's about as tone deaf as Marie Antionette saying 'Why can't they just eat cake?'

They don't have the prior education to learn programming. They don't have the free time due to working 50-60 hour weeks. Or they don't have the ability to afford computers or the know-how to use free and open source software effectively to learn.

We need socialism, especially when policies end up destroying counties, towns, and cities founded in old paradigms we now kill for being bad. We can end dirty jobs - but we should never end the people. But that's what we're doing.
As a person who is 100% supportive of trans choosing he/she pronouns to fit their identity, and someone who hates the idea of "non-binary" people demanding a "they" pronoun, - I can kind of see a point, depending on how singular they is used. If it is always used regardless(as the demodded person claimed they do), then I see no problem with it. If it is only used to avoid someone's preferred pronoun, then I can see it being discriminatory behavior. E.g. every cis female in a class is referred to as she or they, every cismale is referred to as he or they, but every trans male or female is only referred to as they.
> There's a simple reason why this toaster was discontinued, and that's because it can't be made from commodity components which are used by all toaster manufacturers, as well as in a variety of other domestic appliances.

The youtube comments include a response from a former sunbeam employee that suggests that it was discontinued because the companies CEO at the time was someone known for stripping companies and likely laid off the manufacturing staff.
I remember watching that in my public school in Florida in the early 90s.
Right, I realize they're the vendors, but isn't this just going to make even more people exploit the vulnerability before consumers get patches? Like actual hackers targeting random people in the wild, not merely law enforcement?
Interest.

I feel like this goes against responsible disclosure. Google should give the manufacturers a month to push updates themselves, just like Google would expect a month to fix an issue someone reported to them.
Well, one thing is it was apparently already publicly reported over 2 years ago by syzkaller:

A utility scale battery system might impose a cost of $200-300/MWh (source: Lazard 2018)

You might say "nuclear is only $110-180/MWh!". But that's for every MWh that nuclear pumps out; batteries are only on the hook for (some of) the times wind and solar aren't covering demand. So the levelized cost of stored and direct power from renewables will be cheaper.

Batteries are also declining rapidly in cost. Any nuclear plant started today will come online when storage costs could be half of what they are today, if this trend continues.

I will add that DC-coupled storage in PV fields should be cheaper than this, because the batteries don't need their own inverters or grid connection.
I agree - this is definitely the really bizarre part. The fact that not just one, but multiple people have proactively sought out this guy to fight is insane. I mean, the first one I can sort of understand. Obviously, you still have to have some serious brain problems to want to fight a guy who looks like that, but it's at least normal-human-range levels of self-deception.

But surely, after seeing the initial Tai Chi master getting the crap beaten out of him, then the next, then the next - what on earth is going on? That's more than drinking the Koolaid. That's watching all your friends get poisoned, then going to the punch bowl and getting yourself a cup.
I don't know the reasons behind that policy, but I'd guess with the exploit already being used, there is less incentive to keep silent about the issue. The opposite is true: putting more pressure on the vendors to provide patches, and disclosing any malicious actions that are already underway as soon as possible
>The point is that automation caused by AI will start a reinforcing feedback loop where more and more work can be done more cheaply, speeding up automation itself too.

there isn't much evidence that AI has accelerated the rate of automation, and people have been saying this about information technology for the last 4 decades already. By any account, automation and growth contribution of the technologies are low by historical standards.

The primary mechanism that has kept Moore's law alive up until now is miniaturization of transistors and we're going to run into a wall on that front pretty soon.
The irony, of course, is that keeping the coal business going is a much higher burden on society in the long run.
Did old toasters have asbestos in them?

Yes. Asbestos was everywhere at least in the first half of the 20th century. The type, amount used, and typical exposure is not really a concern, however. I'm not aware of any problems caused by using asbestos-containing toasters daily --- on the assumption that if there were, it would've been all over the news.
What did make RISC-V a game changer? Why did not any open source chip enjoy such a success before?
>Unless electric cars are going to generate less revenue than petroleum based, which they won't, the pie is the same size

As battery prices continue to fall, electrics will get cheaper than ice's, so there will be less revenue. Beyond that, fsd means many people who now own a car will use robotaxis instead, which means many fewer autos needed. In addition Tesla is working on making its cars last a million miles. So total auto industry revenue is due to go way down.
It's even harder to understand if your native language doesn't have neither gendered pronouns or gendered words.
> on the pre-owned luxury car market

I was expecting to see something about Tesla’s lease or buyback program with their “resale value guarantee” which I always found interesting and AFAIK not offered by any other manufacturers.
Ideally you absolutely don’t use UDP if you care about data delivery, or you just reinvent a poor implementation of TCP. I want my smart light to come on, my doorbell to ring, and my dryer to tell me the cycle is complete 100% of the time.
The general reasoning is that since it's already being exploited, there's more value in warning people so they can decide to not use said affected devices, rather than being in the dark.
There might be other revenue streams like battery recycling. Might not replace ICE maintenance jobs completely, but will hopefully provide some cover.
If it’s money that should have been paid as tax, it’s not their money. It’s stolen.
What is the bright side to community, order and the rest of it? Every ww2 and excessively tribal story ends badly and we need to be reminded of that.

But we always have moments in history when tribalism comes back and we will in the future. How can we use this to our advantage? Last time it came up we made some good advances in the understanding of human perception & consciousness. Can we use this power for good?
They can show a breakdown with the base cost of each module, the surcharges for the different fabric and colour options, and a price example for the display unit. It's not rocket surgery, IKEA manages to do this just fine.[0]

Because the "bad guys" already know about the vulnerability, so there's no benefit from keeping it secret but a duty to the consumers to inform them as well - especially since the kernel patch already exists.
As I read it, they copied optional screw fitting holes and badly assembled parts because from an abundance of caution they didn't know what was optional or mandatory.
Reading everything on this thread... I'd mainly agree... sounds like Finland ain't the place.
I think you are writing about some past entity which has morphed into something different which has only the brand in common with that past. Or how else do you explain: 4min,45sec youtube video 'Louis opens new Macbook Air, immediately loses mind.'

This is broken by design. They should apply quality control to their minds, because no amount of that elsewhere can fix that.
People, many on this very site, often erroneously claim that P0 does not disclose vulnerabilities in Google's own products. Or they claim that Google gets favorable treatment, like the disclosure only of less severe bugs, or longer disclosure deadlines. Here is a countervailing datapoint.
Placebos probably work for problems related to neural system (the less you are nervous the more healthy you are).

Taking Steve Jobs as an example here is a bad way to get healthy. Steve Jobs was simply used to listening to (back then) always smarter engineers. Medicine, however, wasn’t revolutionised the same way.

It can work with anyone which was OPs point, a lot of places just don't accept them because they're essentially extending credit to every person they accept checks from because they can't be instantly cleared.
You didn't note your volumes and what percentage of the Japanese company's sales your demand represents. I wouldn't make a custom SKU for a customer either if it would not be recouped by sales volume. And you mention that you don't have an alternative ... rationally there is no reason at all for them to compromise their product for anyone in this case.
I couldn't resist but to comment on this as it is close to me also. The Bhagavad Gita (celestial song) grows on you each time you read and at each age, you read. Let us say you read it this year and again the next, it will have a different impact on you (at least for me.. it grows on me). It is as relevant today as it was at any time in the past and the future. It is not just a dialogue between 2 people but two identities. It can be of a friend, as is the case of Krishna and Arjuna, or can be considered as a conversation between dad and daughter, mother and son, doctor and patient, etc. And each of the Dharma, Karma, jnana(knowledge) and Bhakti(devotion) manifests.
So it can be a book that plays a part in psychology, administrative practises, management techniques, political study, yoga, and meditation etc. In the context of the space here and the article I cannot elaborate on those, but yeah it is an absolute good read for anybody and I would suggest it as such. Not getting into the details of the religion etc.
Krishna comes across like a great communicator and Arjuna as a great listener raising issues and relevant doubts at the right time/moment so that the rhythm of the discourse is not disturbed.
maybe you should do more than watch a youtube clip. Maybe talk to or g-d forbid, read the interviews with the striking workers who do this labor for hours on hours on their feet.
Absolutely, for a long the company was too cheap to pay for real time tracking software and the timeclocks.
How does it compare to the more popular Material UI?
My level of expertise on quantum computing is very low.

The announce of the imminent advent of the Quantum Computer seems to be recurring every few months since at least 20 years, at this point I don't care anymore.
It's being actively exploited, which changes the calculus.
Think about it: You buy a Tesla Model X for Unobtainium money, and there are panel gaps. But you buy a bucket of Lego bricks for $20, and each one clicks together perfectly.

Automotive body panels are large and relatively flexible, hence harder to get close tolerances on. Small injection-molded parts, however, can be made to much closer tolerances and the process has been around for over half a century.
They let them walk in the door in the first place?
I was in a situation where the company was trying to sell itself. I was 1.5 years into 4 year vesting schedule. I decided to leave for 10k more and not buy my options and a few months later it sold with all employees getting vested. If I would have stay that would have worked out to 100,000.

But I ended up much better off. The extra 10k allowed me to qualify to buy a house. The house was 1/2 a million and rose to a million in 4 years. During those 4 years I would be stuck at the new company (those were the terms because they fully vest everyone). I avoided the endless flying trips to hq to train them. I kept my freedom to move to other opportunities.

Options do payoff but salary is worth more because your purchasing power increases. Real estate (single detacted houses) in a world class growing city always goes up.
You have to "install an application from an untrusted source, attackers can take advantage of that. Attackers can also take advantage of the bug if they pair it with vulnerabilities in the Chrome browser to render content."

I guess it informs us what not to do at the very least.
Given the track record, I'm not very optimistic of the vendors pushing a patch very soon (if ever). This keeps us informed at least.
The article is right. There is a huge technological transition from ice's to electrics that is starting to happen. It is going to turn everything upside down, but the US, except for Tesla, is way behind. And the Trump administration is simply clueless.
>The lecture format is just plain wrong.

I can't agree. I've been to many many non-interactive lectures and talks that were quite wonderful. It's a very different experience than just reading something. Of course it's not always better. But it's a wholly different experience.

And I'm pretty sure it pre-dates European court life.

Is FICO Under Threat of Fintech Disruption?
Don't be fooled. If you buy one of these now-cheaper used luxury cars instead of an actually cheaper car, you're going to get raked over the coals in luxury car maintenance.

They tend to use oddball parts that are more expensive to get, more onerous to install, and often less reliable overall. Value cars get their reputation from more than just the initial sale price.
This looks great. Are there plans on integrating this in clj-kondo?
Hinduism is not a religion instead it’s a Dharma. There is no equivalent English word for it as English has limited vocabulary and fails to describe yogic sciences.
Hinduism gives you a way to explore the life and even question the existence of God.
Can we redefine God better? Yes we can. Define in a way it works for everybody and removes extremism.
> Execution as a punishment is more extreme than a fine regardless of how many people favor execution over fines.

Not if you are talking about fining or destroying sentient robots. The sentient robot probably has a pretty good back-up system of his mind, so he can just respawn in a different body, his bank account, though, is singular and coupled to the identity that its brain can prove to be. So executing such a robot is not very extreme, it is at most an inconvenience. Taking his money though, is something that has a more lasting impact. At least this is what I made up.

The point I am making is that what is 'extreme' is dependent on context and there is no such thing as intrinsic extremeness.
how, exactly, is this a part of "humanit's right to reasonable progress" whatever that is supposed to mean. And for the record, the article is wrong, the reason this is an issue, now, is that GM (and Ford, and Chevy) forced its workers to take paycuts and other slashed benefits as part of the bailout. GM then plowed the profits it has reaped after stabilization into stock buybacks, rather then actually do right by the people who build their product. A fact that goes unmentioned by this flight-of-fancy masquerading as "news".
Probably because American sockets are normally un-switched.

> You have to "install an application from an untrusted source, attackers can take advantage of that. Attackers can also take advantage of the bug if they pair it with vulnerabilities in the Chrome browser to render content."

They can easily give that^ information without exposing details of the bug though?
To use an analogy:
Because it's easier to break into
the biggest bank once than to try to break into 100 smaller banks?
Or the attacked surface has to be exposed to the browser sandbox, which apparently this one is, per: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=19...
I assumed you meant the email said “extra fees”, but did not specify how much. If the email didn’t explicitly state how much you will pay, or a formula to figure out how much, then I believe the banks would side with you.
This is the first time I've ever encountered this story, too. I went to Indiana school districts.
AIUI, the paper giro was a direct interbank transfer decades before ACH was even a thing. They were widely used in Europe but never introduced in America. That might be part of it.

Also, America has a lot more banks per capita than the rest of the world. Until the 1990s banks weren't allowed to operate in more than one state, and although there's been a big wave of consolidation since then there are still a bunch of tiny banks in out-of-the-way small towns that are very set in their ways and don't want to spend money on newfangled technology. In the rest of the world, you get the major commercial banks on board, and maybe the dominant network of savings funds/cooperative banks/credit unions, and that covers just about everybody.
How many consumers across the world would actually be at risk from NSO having details of the exploit vs. all the other "bad guys" though? Isn't there a significant distinction that's being brushed under the rug here?
Sounds a lot like trying to force my speech. I'm going to say "the individual" or "they" and if that upsets people then I guess I'm someone who upsets people.
> However, if you install an application from an untrusted source, attackers can take advantage of that. Attackers can also take advantage of the bug if they pair it with vulnerabilities in the Chrome browser to render content.

So, you have to sideload an app or from some other source. Is it unreasonable to say don't do that? How common is it anyway? I work with IT folks and only a few ever seem to load outside the Play store. Perhaps in other parts of the world it's more common...?
The easiest way to tell would be to compare his performance at games with cameras vs without
They could tell vendors about the issue earlier without telling the rest of the world earlier though, can't they?
How long do you wait for the bumper fender fix of any Tesla model again?
A lot of the people that go into the desert of the unknown and come back with a functioning business are those that you told to do something conventional in the first place and they found their own path as a contradiction to the old guard's values.

So I agree you don't need to tell people to do things other than the safe bets, for many reasons.

What a croc of an article.

> a 2018 BMW 320i lost nearly 20% of its value, dropping from $37,700 to $30,700.* While it’s true that newer vehicles typically depreciate at a steeper rate, it’s not usually that steep.

Note how they don't give a source for the claim it's not usually that steep?

Here's people talking about E-Classes losing 55% of their value in 3 years... 7 years ago: https://forums.mbclub.co.uk/threads/depreciation.124585/

If anything their example is actually less depreciation than I'd expect for a 3 series based on trends from years ago . Probably because the 320i is the base engine (non-M cars don't end up retaining that much more value as engine sizes go up). I've seen brand new 1 year old non-M BMWs for more than 25% below MSRP sitting on the lot.

>At three years old, a 2016 Mercedes B-Class would ordinarily depreciate at a slower rate. For the same time period as the BMW above, though, the B-Class dropped from $18,500 to $13,250, nearly 30%.*

Do yourself a favor and google a 2016 B-class (if you don't want to bother, it's a hideous minivan that any US readers have a fair chance of probably never having seen in real life). Even amongst Mercedes's lineup it's a car that rapidly depreciates "above it's weight class".

And the 2016 B Class is now a generation behind, and from the tail end of 7 years without an update. They actually stopped selling here in the US, and in the last year they existed on our shores they sold... less than 200 units.

The lesson here is people who can afford a German luxury car aren't trying to get a hand-me-down luxury car. People who can afford one, and are frugal, are probably buying a Japanese one over a hand-me-down German one.

Well that and CapitalOne really wants eyeballs with that clickbait title.

From a corporate perspective, I think you're absolutely right, this kind of thing will never be profitable.

From a state perspective, being reliant on other countries for your electronic may seem like such a threat to your ability to remain sovereign that it's worth developing your own, even if you are generations behind the latest and greatest.
