Adding catalyst didn’t remove the ability to use any other UIKit, or to compile and run whatever you want in any language there is. Everything that ran before continues to do so, and it’s almost oxymoronically wrong to consider a system that is a strict superset of another less free.
Since petty theft is no longer prosecuted in some places what stops someone from just walking in taking what they want without paying?
I heard CA had legalized "just walk out" technology state wide for up to $950 in shoplifted goods a few years ago?

It's not even about large volumes. If I want to buy 1 share of a $15 stock and I have to pay a $7 commission, it's not worth it
This is going to be insanely successful.
This is true for typical long positions but not for time based options. Some retail investors do buy those too.
Do you know of any datasources to integrate flu statistics?
The way I read the advisory is: (1) The most harmful vulnerability represented anywhere in this advisory is SQL injection. (2) The sync endpoint allows a full SQL injection, but the sync endpoint is normally IP-restricted and has an empty allow list in the default configuration, which can mitigate the exposure. (3) The verify endpoint does not allow a full SQL injection, but allows overly long values to be passed through to SQL.

The first paragraph in “Technical details” mixes (1) and (3) confusingly, and should have had a paragraph break before the sentence beginning “Verify” (or been rewritten).

A quick glance at the patchset suggests this is right (the verification code looks to have been made stricter in the verify endpoint, but added in the sync endpoint), but I didn't dig deeper than that.

> If they make it accessible enough, all stores may.

I think that's unlikely. There is likely to be a large enough percentage of shoppers who avoid this sort of thing to support at least a couple of stores who make it a selling point that they don't do this.

But, if there is no option then I'll have to figure out what my response will be. It would likely have to be a compromise position between buying as much as I can without involving a store at all (buy produce directly from farmers, do a lot more bartering with neighbors, etc.) and employing single-use credit cards when I can't avoid the store.
"Reporting bias" might be a little closer to the mark. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reporting_bias. Or, in current terminology, "the Instagram effect".

I could be wrong, but I'd see survivor bias as "at the end of the day, everyone still in the game reports their results", not acknowledging that those doing really poorly might walk away from the game.
Thank you. The narration is what happens in my brain when I read it. I don't need it in the source files. Keeping the file short is the best way to keep it consistent (what you refer to "getting out of sync")
Its only like 60 cents per contract on think or swim. If that makes or breaks you, pull your $7 out of the market and stop trading.
Another major cost in retail is "loss" ... I can see this being pretty effective at loss prevention and coupon fraud (even my small town grocery store require an associate to visit the self-check kiosks if a customer has a coupon).

These are not new issues.

Retailers already rely on the trust of dozens if not hundreds of vendors for operations. Trust is established through contractual obligations, pilot programs, etc.

Shrinkage in the US is about 1.38% on average currently. Any competent retailer would run a pilot and evaluate its effect on shrinkage rates.
Wouldn't it be easier to just walk out vs deal with the self checkout?
Also, there might be benefits to the store in reducing shoplifting.
It helps make the effort to buy a product much lower, therefore increases sales.
IDK what happened to it, but for a while the Mountain View Walmart had a system where your cart had a pricing gun thing and you'd scan stuff as you put it in your cart. Then when you got to self checkout you paid in the Walmart app and left with no other steps. I thought it was pretty convenient.

Its no longer there and I've not seen it anywhere else so I guess maybe it was a failed pilot program or something.
If only manual laborers in 1850s England didn't rely on jobs that were replaced by machines (England went on to be far wealthier and provide far more opportunities to its people after the industrial revolution).
Not sure why you're harping so hard on the privacy front in regards to those statements. The quotes you've chosen (and the linked website) make no attempt to say that they are privacy related at all. The purpose of mentioning that they don't need to download an app or create an account are about mentioning the level of effort that patrons have to go through to sign up (as compared to current Amazon Go stores that do require an app and account).

If you want to talk about privacy, it's always a valid concern in this day and age, but your comment feels like you're building a strawman.
Ok. The question still stands?
Granted, dpi and ppi aren't the same - but print would normally be more like 1200 dpi. Even low en laser printers are 600 dpi. So while you might print a 300 ppi image, you'd probably print it at much higher than 300 dpi. E-ink screens are in a kind of middleground - they certainly have lower contrast and resolution than movable type (depending a bit on paper quality, but compared to say printed books).
Disease, Debt and Depression
I was thinking of the legal ambiguity of reply with "but yeah, no". Perhaps you were paraphrasing.
This doesn't seem entirely true though - especially with news. There's a central organization at, say, Slate, that's responsible for hiring, editing, and fact-checking what they publish. Sure, some writers are going to be better/worse than others, but an organization that hires and retains bad writers who do bad research and editors who don't catch it, even when it's been pointed out, is an organization where you should have concerns elsewhere.

The proposition isn't that one bad article means everything will be false forever, but that you should approach all articles with some skepticism that the author/editor knows what they're talking about. Especially when you know from past evidence that they will publish things that you know to be wrong or misinformed.

It's not much different than how folks are getting concerned about counterfeit things on Amazon. I don't think that every product on Amazon is fake, and I don't think the fakes are evenly distributed across all categories. That doesn't mean I shouldn't check most things I buy to make sure they're safe when I know that Amazon doesn't seem to care if they ship me defective or counterfeit products.

You're making a straw-man of what the Effect is trying to get at. It's not saying one bad article means every single article is fully false, or that you shouldn't trust the sports scores, or Cathy is giving you bad life advice. It's just stating that we tend to not realize that one bad article may be a sign of more intrinsic bad editorial practices at a publisher.
It's way nicer than self-checkout in my opinion. A big one is there's never any line -- you just get your stuff and walk-out. Here in SF, lots of store frequently have long lines.

I can't wait until full supermarkets have this.
You have fat binaries, and a modified version of LLVM bitcode, that is more stable than the official LLVM bitcode.

However so far watchOS is the major consumer from bitcode.
> Without MCAS, this would be a crappy experience for the pilots, but, with proper training, they'd be able to fly it just like you and me can safely drive cars like a Reliant Robin (just never think about hitting the brakes in a curve). If you feel the plane wanting to point up a bit too enthusiastically, you can push the stick forward (or adjust the trim) and make it more cooperative.

That's the worst part of this, the plane is perfectly flyable without MCAS but they applied it anyways because it would have required recertifying pilots because that difference is enough that it might have required a new type certificate for pilots to fly. So all this trouble and the deaths are because Boeing couldn't make an appealing aircraft with the old 737 body and handling so they took a shortcut to make few 100M more.

I'm honestly not sure what I'd use this for, but only because I don't use GitHub for much.

The amount of integration is impressive, and I'm actually kinda sad this isn't being more highly voted up.

There's only one feature I think is really missing, and that's stored functions. Right now, I have to insert the full code snippet I want to run every. single. time. For scenarios where I want to modify the code snippet each time, this makes perfect sense, and is a valid first-class use-case that should stick around. But for all the scenarios where I just want to run the same old tidbit of code, I still have to reimport it fresh each time.

A few rambling thoughts/ideas:

- Referencing a Gist (which should only work when the full #gistcomment-... fragment is included)

- Referencing a code snippet in another issue, either by #number or by full URL (which should similarly only work when the full #issuecomment-... fragment is present)

- Referencing a code snippet from an issue in another project

- Allowing for the insertion of a SHA256 hash (either in hexadecimal (aabbccdd) or base64 (AbCd==) format) at the top of script bodies, for use in scenarios where I'd need to provide explicit authorization that I do indeed want to run a script that I didn't post myself

- Referencing a script from a file in my repo

- Referencing a script from a file in someone else's repo

You may ask why I am so insistent on dereferencing. a) it allows me to do magic things by wrangling URLs instead of entire blocks of code, and b) it lets me keep my posts tidy and not full of source code. My own bias strongly suggests to me that adopting a model like this might lead to slightly more widespread success. Your bias may disagree. I don't know what's closer to the truth.

Regarding the SHA idea, the way I concretely imagine this might work is that you'd introduce an alternate, optional block start like "`js SHA256:xxxxxxx", with the hash being applied to everything between the first and last lines (I think you might want to include the trailing newline after the script in the hash input - this will make life easier for those using editors that enforce one trailing newline).

This would indeed introduce massive redundancy - I now have to hash my blocks of code in order for them to run - but it would mean that people looking for code to run could straightforwardly and safely reference random stored functions (via something along the lines of "@github-actions run http://github.com/........ SHA256:XXX") and they'll only be run if the code matches its own checksum _along with_ the checksum in the run link.

I also think that perhaps there might be an explicit "reference" syntax, like "@github-actions ref" or something, for scenarios where the bot would be ignoring the code in question, and only running it when someone references it later. Perhaps in this scenario an alternate header format could be used that doesn't cause the bot to be notified; perhaps this could be as simple as removing the @.

I'm imagining scenarios where issues get created then closed as a stashing ground for code snippets.
The jailbreaking scene? As far as I could tell, it had been reduced to a shadow of its former self, with an ever-larger share of toxic people stirring up drama as the "old guard" left the community.

Pay whom, though?

Foreclosure gives the value of the house to someone else. It's entirely reasonable that, before confiscating someone's life savings and throwing them on the street, a document is presented to a court that isn't a forgery.

It's not their fault that the loan got sold into a complicated system of securitisation. In fact, some of the victims didn't owe money and were foreclosed anyway!
That is "panic buying" but its done not by panicking people. If you camp out in the supermarket you may notice that people appear as they always do, even if they are buying stuff because other people are buying stuff.

But it's an external database with its code and its optimizations. In this case it seemed that it was just doing a binary search, but it was using an already sorted dataset that the OP of that comment wasn't using.

Well, I can't get anything out of this. See http://kparc.com/$/file.k. The language is cryptic and the variable names are even more cryptic. It's really hard to see what does this code even do. I can't honestly believe anyone that says that's a good way to create code.

> In many ways it's more important to society than FB & G (picking them as the 2 of the big 5 that are pure information plays), in that it hosts semi-public conversations and helps experts stay informed.

Out of all interactions on Twitter I've witnessed, conversations comes to mind the least to describe them. It's either people screaming at each other which barely makes it past a scripted dialogue of replies, or it's somebody saying ABC and all their fans saying "wow, so smart/brave/true". I don't see any value in those, and they make up the super majority on twitter.

The "helping experts stay informed" part is true though, there are some small communities where it's used to provide easy methods to contact others. That's a small benefit compared to the giant damage it does to actual dialogue.

Twitter's default mode is a school yard brawl where you have plenty of "followers" egging the fighters on. That's a utility if you want to destroy a society, but important to society?

> No, what's counter-effective right now is social policing according to bleeding heart policies. Now is not the time to clutch at pearls and treat everyone "equally."

Everybody knows that Wuhan is where it came from, and that it's been the hardest hit. My understanding is that what they're concerned about is long-lasting associations. 100 years later we're still calling the 1918 thing the "Spanish Flu"; I'd be willing to bet tourism to Spain dropped significantly in the decade that followed that epidemic.

Could you name the place where SARS originated? I can't; and even if I could it wouldn't be a strong correlation in my mind. That's what we want 10 years from now -- for people planning travel itineraries to associate Wuhan with a the actual city and surroundings, not with a disaster that happened a decade in the past.

This isn't "bleeding heart policies"; it's just simple Golden-rule consideration, based on a century of experience.

Do these actually reduce labor costs though? I frequently use the Amazon Go store in Seattle right next to the Spheres, and there seem to be as many if not more employees there than at an ordinary convenience store: there's always one person by the liquor area to check IDs, one or two people walking around the store restocking the shelves and helping the clueless tourists download the app, and several people in the kitchen making sandwiches and whatnot. I don't see any labor savings over a regular 7-11.
In the last year, I found myself using Reddit more and more. It seems easier to find more interesting and engaging content than Twitter.
I now rarely check Twitter because I basically get all the latest news on the things I care about on Reddit.

I see Twitter as social like FB. But like FB the quality of the content is low and just random.

I think the one place Twitter shines is customer support. More and more companies use Twitter as a channel to engage with their customers. I used myself many times to engage support and I was positively surprised how well that worked out.

I think the only way forward for Twitter will be an acquisition. I think Salesforce showed some interest at one point, exactly to use it as a channel to connect companies with their customers.

This alone would annoy me to the point of closing the account. Absolutely zero reason for this in this day and age
As long as there's still an option for human people to pay using their own money it's fine. But if these stores only allow for corporate people to purchase items (on behalf of their customer humans (credit cards)) then it is a very unethical system and probably should be made illegal.
> But on the other hand, emacs w/o 3rd party packages and personal customizations isn't really Emacs!

Certainly it is! There are many users who have used Emacs for decades who have only a handful of lines in their init files and no third-party packages.

> So I think it's fair to critique the quality of the software you end up with in practice, as a normal user of Emacs. Perhaps I should say the "Emacs ecosystem" tends towards jankiness, rather than Emacs itself, per se.

Yes, I think you should say that instead; that would be more fair and accurate.

Elisp is a forgiving language, and Emacs is a forgiving environment, so low-quality code is not always "punished" by failing to compile or run. So, as with any software you would run on your computer, you should use discretion.

The good news is that the quality of software in the Emacs ecosystem is steadily improving. MELPA is upholding higher standards for packages, and more tools are being made to catch poor-quality code and encourage best practices.

> I meant my personal collection of 3rd party packages I have installed, which for some reason I call site-lisp, perhaps an abuse of the term!

Ah, I see. Not necessarily an abuse, if you are your own sysadmin, I guess. :)

> It turns out it's in comint.el, in (comint-exec).

Thanks, that's interesting. I guess there must be some interesting discussion on emacs-devel about that from years past. I wonder if that could be improved.
I really thought Dorsey would use this opportunity to negotiate a nice exit package. I can't see him (or really anyone) wanting to be Twitter CEO at this point, especially since he also has that Square thing going on.

The US has 330M people. The rest of the world has over 7B. The rest of the world needs to get over this idea that the US is the leader on everything; the election of Trump should have been the canary in the coalmine that the US just can't be trusted for global leadership any more, and continuing to do so is dangerous and foolhardy. As you said, it's been "a few years" since the pandemic response team was fired; so why would any country have trusted the US since then for pandemic response ability or competence?
I don't think Jack is either woke or not woke enough. Twitter doesn't have a COO, but I do believe whomever is making day-to-day decisions at Twitter has a liberal bias.

Apple has some pretty decent IC design engineers... And ARM has fewer legacy corner cases to support and a more dense simpler to decode instruction set. Apple also has high margins so can afford to have big silicon dies with lots of logic and cache.

Given all that, I think it's totally possible Apple could release a CPU with more raw performance and performance per watt than Intel/AMD.

That extra performance would allow possibly emulation of x86. The emulation world is much more advanced than it was 20 years ago - dynamic recompilation could easily lead to a 50% slowdown rather than a 5000% slowdown that interpreting might be.
