This reminds me of my local cities new flashy sport arena.
The sport arena has flood lights to make a UFO landing look good. Cant see anything of the night sky with these on. It is also using a lot of power.

I remember star nights walking outside as a kid seeing the Milky way Galaxy full of stars.

As for ordinary street lights, the purpose of street lights are for crime prevention, but there is motion sensors. Do we really need to have the lights on with no one on a street?
Not only EVs do regenerative braking. And then there’s old good engine braking in manual IC cars.
Basically, decide you want to make the maximum possible amount of money and reason backwards to the types of "principles" you'd need to stipulate to justify the policies that maximize your money.
My point was someone has to bear the losses. Forcing the owners to bear those losses means the rest of us don’t, which is a while lot less pain in general.

It’s like this. Suppose a real estate speculator in your town buys a mall, leverages it with debt to afford it, and becomes rich. They buy the biggest house in town, drive a Bentley, in general live well for a decade.

Then the pandemic happens, and some of their tenants stop paying. They personally signed for the mall mortgage, and are now in default.

They need $10M to recapitalize their loan, avoid foreclosure, and ride out the rest of this. So they come to the city council and ask it to raise property taxes by an average of $100 a year per person in the town so the city can loan them the $10M.

They explain by doing this they will keep the mall open, be able to work things through with the tenants, saving jobs, the mall, the bank, the city, even goddamn America! The speculator then sits back smoking a cigar to await his bailout.

Then the (secretly libertarian$”) mayor points out if the city doesn’t step up, the bank will sell the mall to a new owner, who will work with the tenants to keep the mall open, and sell the speculators mansion, Bentley and jewelry to help recoup their losses. And the citizens of the town will all be $100/year ahead.

Then he slams his gavel down and screams, “and there is no smoking in public meetings you arrogant leach!”
the point is that the plant would not happen without US pressure, so it is primarily motivated by geopolitical concerns. If you buy that, it's not much of a stretch to question how much effort TSMC will put into the Arizona plant, given the mess of conflicting incentives
Wow, thanks so much for this answer.

I'm just going to add this link here to another explanation of yours I found around that expands on some of the unique aspects of Red: https://www.reddit.com/r/redlang/comments/aebxct/contrast_re... .

Thanks again
> There's still distinct benefits to big cities. You can order stuff online fast, even groceries. You get good Internet connectivity, which is a thing that you need for remote work. Lots of services around.

Define “big city.” I live in a medium-sized city in a low cost of living area and my house has AT&T Fiber, Google Fiber, and cable available to it. I dare say that’s better than most people in the Bay Area have access to. And yes, Amazon delivers here too.
I keep having the same thoughts, but I'm not sure it needs to be a full OS solution.
Also a related problem that always frustrates me with input is what do I use for the help command? Is it '-h', '-help', '--help', or just 'help', or even man pages only. Each script/bin has its own way of doing things and this seems like something that should be standardized, but I realize there's no great way to do that currently when its just input to the program.

I wonder if instead of an OS solution we can just add more metadata to the actual binary files we compile. For example, if we have a new ELF format that has an optional list of commands, options, full input/output types, etc, any one of the shells can start to provide better tooling. Output format types can then be passed along with the stream, and potentially checked that they work as the proper inputs for another command. Let the shell auto generate the simple cli help docs, or generate the bash completions, or figure out how to better convert data to desired types.

It gets even worse than that. Many pages are charged by the number of results or the length of the page generated. But you don't know the price until you load it and see how long the page is. Most have a cap of $3, but some don't, so when you press that button to load the next page, sometimes it just costs $100 and you really had no way to know it'd happen until it did. PACER is terrible.
I feel like vehicles personal vehicles will be considered a societal-engineering blunder when we have personal teleportation available as an alternative.
Nonsense, parental control can (and often does) block the installation of new apps. I don't need to be using Webkit just because I don't want my kid to install a 2nd browser.
This is pretty sweet. One thing I've always wanted to do is embed a hardware keylogger into the keyboard itself (optionally with bluetooth or some other radio - so I can retrieve contents of logs remotely).

Seems like with one of those you could even defeat 2FA (if you were a black hat). Swap out the victim's keyboard with the one with the embedded radio keylogger. Auto-detect when they are logging into something with 2FA. Put the characters they type into the web form and submit faster than they do.

As it has been well-known in the east for thousands of years and well preserved by the Tibetan people, the us vs them mentality arises naturally through the nature of consciousness which grasps at the notion of a non-existent self.

Through ignorance we fail to see reality for what it truly is, ultimately empty, but conventionally existent.

Thus, we reify our perceptions as real, instead of recognizing that all objects are simply names and labels imputed over aggregates and the introduction of the mental afflictions that cause protectionist and selfish thought arise.

First comes the individual, then the small group, then the group of groups, then the nation and so on - all grasping at a sense of self that isn't truly there when thoroughly analyzed.

Every human being on this planet is the same. We all would like to avoid suffering and would like the causes of happiness.

Ridding yourself of the us vs them mentality involves waking up and developing unwavering compassion for other sentient beings. This requires the realization that all sentient beings want to avoid the causes of suffering.

Does this lengthy article mention this ancient and well-developed philosophy? Not a single word on it.

I recommend listening to just some of the conversations the Dalai Lama has conducted with western scientists and researchers:

Mind & Life Session 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcgcFbPTwys

Mind & Life Session 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoAEEAq8idU

I highly recommend you read Pumla's book (who appears in the second conversation): "A Human Being Died that Night" which is highly illustrative of the power of compassion for others even in the midst of human rights violations.

For me not really. Remote work all the way :)

I wonder what those people who typically make such remarks about Pound have to say about poor old Noel Ignatev?

Fascinating contrast in what certain people say sometimes, but fail to say other times.
I'm the director of Free Law Project, the org that makes RECAP. We're always looking for help with the extension, our APIs, etc. We have a new project, for example, we're working on called the "PACER Pray and Pay Project". It'll let you pray for a document and have somebody else buy it for you. Lots of stuff in the works. If folks are looking to help an open source org, we'd love to hear from you.
>When Google starts to have any inclination to put a bag over my head if I search the wrong thing, sure

Google based information is probably part of the Disposition Matrix, though that's unlikely to end with just a bag over your head.

>When Google starts having an interest in being able to blackmail people to get them to spy on their country or give up IP, then sure.

So what do you think of something like Elon Musk openly admitting to furthering a coup to secure resources? Is it only a problem with intellectual property?

>When the US Government can unilaterally demand security cooperation from Google in any way, shape, or form like the Chinese government can, then sure.

This isn't the case?

Turning forty and having kids has been awesome. I spent the prior 20 years so ambitious and so worried I wouldn’t make something of myself. I was always reading books and watching YouTube videos on business,leadership, and self improvement. Staying up all night coding.

I got pretty lucky and created a small business when I was 32. That business is still alive today, but I don’t put anymore effort into it aside from doing customer support. That’s probably a big part of why I feel like I can finally sit back and enjoy my life and children. I’ve always had low expectations, and I feel like I accomplished more than I thought I would. I haven’t made that big of a dent, but it’s been enough for me.

I don’t know where I’m going with all this. I’m just glad I’m not constantly thinking about success—it can be so draining. I used to be worried about becoming who I am now, satisfied, somewhat complacent. It’s the happiest I’ve ever been.
Why restrict it to silicon valley? Aren't there data collection companies all over the country? Many of them are not visible to the public as they don't offer any public facing functionality, so they get to do anything they want and there is no hope of them getting twitter shamed either. The only answer is a federal level law. To be fair, the article says this but the title somehow calls out Silicon Valley.
Libretto 30 owner clocking in. It was amazing to have a portable device that fit in a "poacher" pocket and could browse the web and play mp3 files in 1998.

You can call them “school resource officers”, but that doesn’t magically make them good. They are typically a role model for high school bullies who want to continue to bully after graduation (aka be a police officer).
Maybe they should start charging Amazon more money to deliver packages than what it actually costs the USPS? Nah that's crazy.
Never mind, I just figured out that disabling my adblocker fixes the issue.
Make sure you visit Sydney specifically though, it's a bit different from the rest of Australia. It's not everyone's cup of tea, though you may well end up loving it.
I don't understand. This is a tool for Google to extract information from websites and keep potential visitors on Google instead. Every use case for and future progress on it will be measured on that metric.

They don't care to address any of the issues or "fix the infrastructure" because this isn't a "organize all the information in the world!" project at all. The guys that take Google visitor retention stats into their next performance meeting are probably poking fun at all the ontology nerds that have descended on their metric-driven scheme.

> Wait, if you query HIBP, you are actually asking: is it safe to use thus password?

I agree - this is the main use of HIBP.

> If you have a match, you will certanly use different password.

I doubt this is true in all cases. Sometimes people get lazy. But nonetheless, a malicious actor could still capitalize on the few minutes between a user checking a password on HIBP and that user changing their password. For example: for every password lookup, pick the most likely password with that hash, and if it has at least 90% share of the passwords with that hash, try to correlate an email address to their IP address (using leaked dumps), and then try to log into gmail with those credentials. Even if it works 1% of the time, a lot of harm could be done in a few minutes. (For example, US Social Security Numbers may appear in a years-old employment document in the email).

> And, by the way, they have username/hashes before you even use their API.

But they don't necessarily have yours. If I am somebody who uses a different password on every site, and I check a password for a site that has not had a leak, then they do not have an association between my email and my password before my query, and they do after my query.

Regardless of the particulars of possible exploits, I'm mainly claiming that the original comment above (by @matsemann) is not true, in that some level of trust in HIBP is necessary to input a sensitive password.
Staying at a rental that is next to a residential street, the city is very clean and air is great. The street has somewhat alot of traffic and I noticed that the table outside we eat on gets dirty very quickly. Like in one day a wipe on it is black and filthy from the street which is behind a hedge 20ft away.
I wonder if big Japanese companies are doing more internal auditing, as a result of the recent fiasco with Nissan and Ghosn that saw Ghosn's ouster and arrest and subsequent escape.
I'm the director of Free Law Project. For the case mentioned in the article we actually did a full expert testimony figuring out roughly how much per page it'd cost to run PACER using AWS GovCloud and a handful of other assumptions.

It was...half a ten thousandth of a penny per page, IIRC: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4214664/52/15/national-...
Nice. Tiktok playing the media to focus on american companies. Hiring ex-disney exec Kevin Mayer was the right move.

How about worrying about all big government/business collecting data.
I'd love to have my own cubicle. I fu--ing hate open spaces.

Btw, currently my job is a 25 minutes subway ride away, so... So and so. Not a lot, to be honest, I don't have to drive and the monthly public transport subscription is fairly cheap (~39€/month).
I think the more you must guard your words, the things you say, watch how you act, and the more you grow up with this as a child?

The more restrictive your thoughts may be as an adult. The less 'free wheeling', and therefore, more locked into tight, controlled paths.

Further to that, even if the above is not significantly true, there is still the entire "does the work I want to do, the research, threaten PRC dogma in any way?"

And worse...

"Will the work I do, threaten PRC dogma in the future."

On top of all of that, a reduction of international collaboration with others in the field, and so on.

Of course, I could be entirely wrong. But I do think that "restrictive environment" leads to "less creative output", at least in visible output.
Julia does at least inline fairly aggressively, and it respects the `@inline` macro so long as the call is type stable.

In practice, it may often inline more aggressively as there aren't any boundaries that will prevent inlining.

If you write function `foo` calling `buz` from package `Buz.jl`, which calls `bar` from package `Bar.jl`, `bar` can be inlined into `foo`.

You can think of it as always have `-lto`, because the source of the Julia functions you're calling will always be available to the compiler and thus subject to (potentially aggressive) optimization.
> Wait a few minutes, and voila! Instant contact sheet for me to peruse on my local machine.

A few minutes of delay kinda negates the whole point I feel like. It'd be much faster to have an X server running on the backup server and VNC in or run a file manager over an X tunnel.
My Bay Area job is letting me WFH permanently, and I'm looking to move to an adjacent area but the rental market is empty, and housing sales seem... targeted to SF expats.
I hope the excellent open source Moonlight doesn’t get banned. It reverse engineered the Nvidia Shield (now a TV box a la Roku) features and allows really high quality low latency gaming from devices if you have an nvidia video card. What’s even better is it works without any outside internet required, just your LAN, which is a rare thing these days.
4chan, I'll bet.
I'm hardly of the opinion that the US is comparable to China, but it seems to me that a democracy that commits a sin is somehow worse than an autocracy that does so.

After all, if 150 million and one believe that killing a million civilians is acceptable and is able to support carrying out that activity that means that society is corrupt.

If 1 man believes that killing a million civilians is acceptable and is able to carry out that activity that means that society is merely incapable of enforcing moral will.
It's funny because in writing my previous reply to you I felt a momentary sense of inclusion into a special club, I did think something along the lines of "should I just enjoy the show" and then on reflection I realised that taking such a stance would be equivalent to having no voice at all, and it would also essentially evaporate my chances to learn anything new from the good folk here as it would set up a "me vs them" context, which I don't believe would lead to me learning anything new.

Don't get me wrong, I can see where you're coming from and feel the same way many times myself, but I am no stranger to conflict, and I spent a great deal of my life fawning to people or deferring my opinion for some "greater ideal" that other people tried to set for me, like you are doing now. You have set up so many logical fallacies, talking about "so many developers", "bonus cookies", and some weird need to "prove" ourselves, that I don't even know where to begin unwrapping whatever complex you have.

Get help. You will be happier.

I decided in this instance to say whatever is on the top of my mind no matter how stupid it makes me look, I don't seek camaraderie with anybody at face value just because you purportedly represent a group that I can join. "Like minded developers"? You would have to try harder to entice me to be a part of your group, if you even have a group. I really don't care to feel superior to anyone, results speak for themselves, so good luck I guess establishing a weird inner circle of ideals but I really want no part of it, nor do I need any endorsement from such a group.

Wow, that felt so fucking weird to type.
>- Increased internet access and more games/puzzles with smart phones to stimulate the mind

Everyone with a political opinion wants to enact policies based on that way of thinking. Speech is the medium by which thought becomes policy.

These can't be cleanly separated or considered in isolation. Believing that there are potential dangers to enacting certain ideas is not fundamentally different than considering the ideas themselves to be dangerous. After all, that is exactly what people who want racists, anti-vaxxers, conspiracy theorists, etc. are worried about - those ideas gaining acceptance and being put into action.
Contexts is the sole app that makes MacOS usable IMHO.

It makes alt-tab not suck. It lets me search to switch apps. It lets me switch back to minimized apps. It is really is the perfect utility.
I'm chiming in a lot, but this is only sort of true. In theory, yes, opinions and orders are free on PACER. In practice clerks have to check a box when they upload each opinion to mark it as free, and yeah....some clerks do a great job. Others do terribly. Some info here: https://free.law/pacer-facts/#written-opinions-are-free-on-p...
Unfortunately, macOS supports "readline-style" bindings everywhere, but there's no way to switch that into vim mode.
Yes, but where can we find a graph and explanation similar to that twitter post? Google Translate isn't really getting the implications across clearly for me.

Obviously Profit can't exceed Revenue, but how did they do this?
Can't wait for the App Store to get regulated by the EU so that Apple finally has to drop at least some of its monopolistic and hegemonial behaviour.

You should read this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Innovator%27s_Dilemma

You should look for markets where a reconfiguration of leading technology could serve a new market that existing leaders in the space are unable to service due to structural necessities in their own established business models.

Trying to compete against incumbents by improving what they are already making progress on (sustaining innovations) is nearly impossible because they've set themselves up to be leaders in incremental innovation already.

Disruptive markets are so because they emerge at profit margins and market sizes much too small for large existing organizations to justify servicing, and also the new products do not meet the requirements of the established customer-base. Eventually, there is a chance that the disruptive technology will intersect with mainstream customer requirements and this is where customers begin to see the 10x benefits you're looking into, much further down the road.
I’ve been around long enough to see the cycle play out a time or two:

1. Hey, let’s hire cheap Indian workers!

2. WTF, we didn’t expect all these time zone and quality control issues!

3. Let’s onshore again!

Believe me they’ve been trying to do the Indian outsourcing thing for a looooooong time. It doesn’t work as well as imagined. The Indian developers who are as good as their western counterparts don’t stay in India.
You are wrong. Godel in fact showed precisely that there are unprovable statements in any consistent set of axioms. In fact it’s equivalent. The only systems in which every statement is provable are inconsistent. Consistent here meaning that statements cannot be proven to be both true and false from axioms.
Manufacturing jobs are also mind numbing
This is such a fabulous retelling. I don't know much about Auden other than a general sense that he is very well respected. What is hard about these days is that most of the visible voices arguing for the same POV as Auden's appear to have more in common with Pound than Auden (if my impression of Auden is correct). Are there any visible examples of people well-respected by progressives that would be on Auden's side of the argument?

The other thing that struck me is that the letter exchange between Cerf and Auden came pretty close to wrestling with the paradox of tolerance. Like, if one's work can be separated from their belief, then why would Auden refuse to work with Cerf? I'm sure Auden would have had a distinction to bring up on that matter, though. I guess Auden wasn't arguing that Random House should be shut down.

Was the most recent US conviction for treason really in 1952 (wikipedia)? That's really something.
