This is equivalent to saying "We need to always mention that americans abused and raped black slaves when US constitution was written, so we should never talk about it without talking about slavery."

It's trite, humiliating and shows your lack of knowlege beyond what is, essentially, western propaganda tropes. Most of those weren't built by starving people and it's humiliating to the amazing architects and builders of these buildings to nullify their achievements like this. Please don't post these insulting messages unless your knowledge of history and sorrounding context of the achievements actually goes beyond single page textbook of a UK/US.
Definitely the case, people don't realize how much a weak link in the chain can break the whole structure, and just how much influence the command structure can have. I've worked places where all my peers were very smart and well-qualified and still ended up outputting what boils down to smart trash because a middle manager somewhere refused to allow them to structure things well.

Taking it all seems fair to me. When someone steals from a retailer, we don't just make them pay for it and send them on their way, because that doesn't disincentivize stealing in the first place. The Sacklers/Purdue would need to be punished for the predatory, antisocial scheme to prevent others like it.

Why is it silly that Americans and the US government would make a distinction between a US-based company and a Chinese company? The CCP certainly makes this distinction.
Isn't that caused mainly by lobbying and so?
Some context. Generally speaking money in practice means power just because it allows lobbying and hiring good lawyers. And power basically is ability to have someone else solving one's problems.
Wonderful news!!
Cool! I am using both Shapeways and i.materialise right now. They both seem to have the same quality (very high), but i.materialize is a little more expensive. They do however offer white label drop shipping which is nice so eventually I will probably transition to only using them.
If it were just the file not being clean on Virustotal I would fully agree. Heuristic detection will result in false positives. However, if they had an actual example of malware signed by that key that would indicate a compromise and that would justify pulling it. The absence of the offending file is suspicious, though.
You’re right; if it looks good, it is good.

But don’t diminish Pollock’s hard earned technical ability that was necessary for his breakthrough in abstract expressionism. It can be difficult for artists to get past the hurdle of mastering their medium so they can arrive at a place where they can really begin to express their intuitions.

Acknowledging and admiring this does not make it snobbish.
> Ultimately giving users choice is the best way forward.

OK, but right now as a user I have a choice: I can choose an ecosystem supported in part by a 30% tax on apps, or I can choose an ecosystem supported mainly by advertising. If Apple is forced to allow other stores, I lose that choice.

Furthermore, a lot of the things Apple forces on apps really are for my benefit: Take the way they banned Facebook for working around their prohibition on running in the background. They can say, "If you want to access this market, you will follow these rules." If Apple is forced to allow other app stores, then not only Epic and Spotify can say, "We only install on this other store that allows us to sell subscriptions without the 30% tax", then Facebook and others will also be able to say, "We only install on this other store that lets us spy on you."

One again: At the moment, as a consumer, I can choose to say, "I prefer Apple to negotiate on my behalf" or, "I'll go with Android, where I can install third-party stores". If Apple is forced to open up, I won't have that choice any more.
Anyone could easily build one, and start complaining that Apple doesn't provide access.
Also, in the specific case of the kernel, the auditor would only need to audit the subset of code they plan to compile and use. A lot of the kernel code is drivers and the auditor probably doesn't need all of them.

Genuine question: what are the better alternatives?

Works fine for me in Firefox on OSX.
These are good steps, but abolishing all wealth-tests entirely would still be better.

There's no wealth-test that prevents a person from losing all their money in highly-leveraged investments - from real-estate to fancy public-market securities. (Over-leveraging into real estate is practically encouraged by public policy.)

There's no wealth test against putting all one's cash into gambling, which can be arbitrarily worse than even the riskiest non-fraudulent startup investment, depending on your choice of wagers. (Official state lotteries are among the worst games, with the most manipulative marketing - to a level of deception that would generate lawsuits & legislation if attempted by private actors.)

There's no wealth test before purchasing legal but addictive & judgement-impairing substances like alcohol & marijuana.

But if you want to put $5-$20K into a friend's business, or a business you know well, the SEC makes it hard unless you're already a millionaire. It's insanely paternalistic & economically destructive - a ghostly holdout from some bad experiences in another era, the 1930s, when the ranges of available information, experience, and alternative temptations were all tiny & quaint compared to the 2020s.
Unfortunately I don't think there is enough information in there to actually play back. That ring was made from a screenshot of the Apple Voice Memos app.

Ultimately I want to build voice recording into my site and then I would include with the ring delivery a link to play back the recorded audio.
Yep, it would certainly justify pulling it, but quite bizarre that they're then refusing to issue another certification - I'm sure the WinRAR team would be able to prove they're the genuine developers.
Well said and reasoned; however, not all oppression is class based. My claim is that racism is a secondary oppression upon the first that you describe which white people (or whoever in other places) benefit from and participate in maintaining. It is true the inequality between the classes is much greater than any other but that doesn't mean that the others don't exist. I agree especially with your last point though and didn't intend to communicate otherwise.

We had a local driver and a permit we got from a travel agency in Lhasa if I remember correctly. Unfortunately, I can't recall which base camp it was. The toilets were indeed horrible, one of the worst I've seen in my life for sure. There weren't that many tourists at that time. I remember a Chinese couple that had to use oxygen due to altitude sickness and some very fit Russians.

In Poland you pay 4349 USD/year (72% of net minimum wage).

It's required for literally any recurrent economic activity, even selling old things on classifieds sites.

That's just for basic sole-proprietor. Private limited company is much more complicated. I wouldn't dare to register it. So it doesn't exist.
With both Windows and MacOS both putting scary warnings and hard to bypass blocking methods on improperly signed software this could eventually lead to developers being ransomed, “pay us big money or we will revoke your certificate”. This is not the only incident like this.
7zip (the archive manager, not the compression format), at least for Windows
People find it and other post-modernist works "beautiful" mainly because it pisses off the previous generation of artists. It has no other reason for existing otherwise. It's bereft of any soul or meaning. David Foster Wallace highlights this best.
Personal EVs such as scooters, EUCs, bicycles, and non electric options are smaller, have more throughput, and are less dangerous. Imagine a 2 lane road, turned into a park with smaller two lanes for 2 way bike traffic. Just beautiful.

Or maybe their customers just like the product, as in the GUI and feature and don’t care that another compression algorithm can shave off a few extra megabytes.

If I recall correctly WinRAR can make self extracting archives pretty easily. If you use that feature it might be easier/better to just continue using WinRAR.

I love the fact that small software companies like RARLAB can still exist.
People like echo chambers, they go out of their way to self select into them.

That's perfectly fine by me.
As somebody living in Portland, there just aren't many existing homes over 2500 square feet (relatively speaking, compared to other homes) in the first place. We have skinny blocks through most of the city, so there's less places for McMansions to even fit. The ones that do exist within city limits are generally $700K and up - if you want under that you'll need to look in a high-crime neighborhood.

If you want an existing home over 5000 square feet within city limits, expect to pay upwards of $1.2 million if you want to live out towards the suburbs, or $1.5 million for something closer to dense walkable neighborhoods.
Yes, it is a significant barrier to entry. That is its purpose.

Upper-income households (double the national median) account for 20% (side note: yeah, we have a yawning wealth gap). Those household incomes are $207,400 in 2018. So I'm not going accept your 3% number.

Thanks for the explanation, but when I look at a typical PCIe card, I see many connections (of which the clock could easily be one). It seems strange to convert to a serial connection with only two wires.
Regardless, it’s quite pretentious to expect people to put forth creative and expressive energy for something they’re possibly going to end up paying you money for anyway.

These rules (lockable access between units) work well for student-occupied dwellings, but not so much for multi-generation families, that have a completely different dynamics of what "shared" and "private" areas are, and how they are used.
I recall the bootcamp craze that happened a few years ago and most of them were Ruby (with Rails) based.

The result of that is that if I lookup basic concepts in web dev today I'll still find a lot of tutorials and courses aimed at total beginners for Ruby. Meaning that even today, Ruby would be a good choice for CS students in a program where they have no web dev course if they wanted to get a small website running.

Now Python is gaining adoption as an introductory language (MIT ditched Scheme for it!). My bet is that a lot of times python was chosen simply because everyone in the team knew it.

If I knew the scope of the project right when running git init I wouldn't pick these two, but my gut feeling is that a lot of these started as "let's get a demo working, we won't have more than 10 users ever anyways unless we get funding!"
It does invalidate the parable though.
WinRAR does everything you ask of it; compress or decompress archives in one click. Why wouldn't people still use it?
I use this a lot when interviewing at companies, but find it useful when interviewing senior folks:

"What is a technical decision you made on this project that you wish you would have made differently, that you are still living with today?"

This opens up a lot of conversation around how it could have been solved better, what they know now that made it apparent is a sub-optimal decision, what steps were taken to minimize the impact once this fact was discovered, and is there any plan to correct in the future or just live with it.

The big thing is to see that someone has not only built something, but maintained it after the fact, and for long enough to see the impact of trade-offs.
yup, passing that power on to insurance companies is just a different bureaucracy doing similar things, solving nothing more in the process. all parties together and separately need to be involved and invested in maintaining reasonably safe environments, not just an arms-length bureaucracy.

our failure is in trying to pawn off all responsibility to remote agencies and institutions, raher than the parts best-suited for them (bureaucracies are reasonably good at following rules and doing the same thing over and over), and accepting that we can't each absolve ourselves from some of that responsibility.

we want some best-suited regulation, the minimum needed to achieve reasonable safety, and no less, but also no more. regulation isn't good for every tiny tail risk we can imagine, as we see with the housing crisis (in major cities).
Three points about TDD.

1). For some people TDD helps them gather their thoughts and design. Gives them a place to start their coding. For some people, like me, i rather just start writing the code.

2). I think it is important to have failing tests. TDD is one way to arrive to this. One thing I like to do is that after writing my code, i then write the test, then comment out the code to create a failing test. I want to make sure that the code is passing because of the new code.

3). For fixing bugs, TDD is a must... IMHO. You want to make sure you are fixing the right thing, so create a failing test first.

It makes no difference at all to the average person complaining about the accredited investor rules preventing them from investing in sure-fire wins.

If it is a "sure-fire win", then individuals don't get to participate in those investments, institutions and people with a lot more money than you have get to participate. As an individual of only moderately high worth, you get the shit portrayed in the movie Boiler Room.

Which is why whining about accredited investor rules annoys me: they can change the rules, but that isn't going to make companies want to deal with your small potatoes. They're not knocking on your door now, why would a rule change make any difference? Even if you cross the magic threshold, opportunities will not immediately knock on your door out of the blue. But if you want dents in your door from all the knocking, up your net worth from single-digit millions to double-digit.
Right. The problem is not that it is 'in my orbital plane', the problem is that it is in everybody's orbital plane whether or not they - or their government - has a say in the matter. You can't escape it. There is no backyard where this isn't an issue.

This is now presented as a fact we will have to live with and if you are against 10's of thousands of orbital satellites you are now - according to you - immediately against progress. This obviously isn't the case.

So, let's stop the clock for a bit until we have a much better idea of what the impact of all this littering will be and whether or not there is something that can be done about it before we end up with a situation that is out of control. SpaceX is not the world, LEO is not US property and whether or not low cost satellite access is such a good thing that we should give up easy access to visible light astronomy is not a given.

This has nothing to do with 'taking to the stars', 'making the universe a more interesting place' or 'upgrading our dreams'. It is a simple commercial proposition.
The worlds already plenty hypercritical-against art, but more than just art. Really wondering what progress this is meant to do for society.

I’d suggest anyone genuinely interested in experiencing art to just do some exploration. The Artsy app has been great for this. No purchase necessary to simply see what’s out there and some valuations. (Note that the art business is seemingly used for not just selling art but other nefarious things - so laugh at the prices as they’re possibly representative of more than just the art.)

I find much of his work beautiful. It clearly stands out amongst the crowd.
This CA sounds kinda incompetent. Even if you ignore the fact who winrar is, just the nature of the tool itself makes its silly to use virustotal as the gatekeeper.
The question was "Why isn't she mentioned?" He did not ask "Would it be apt to mention her?" "Should you also mention Melinda when referring to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation?" The answers is yes to both of these questions. She is an impressive person who has accomplished much in her life.

He did this (I assume) to imply the reason she was not mentioned was because she was a woman and not because of the large and obvious disparity in fame.

I think you're discussing a different problem from the parent post. Depending on how you form your US company, you can end up in a situation where the company pays corporate income taxes on any profits, and then when you distribute those profits to yourself you pay personal income tax on them too -- so the same income is essentially taxed twice.

There are separate issues with how the US taxes money made overseas.

And as far as jobs go, the tech industry is huge out here. The city of Wilsonville alone has Xerox, 3D Systems, Mentor Graphics, FLIR, Tyco Electronics, DW Fritz, and probably more that I’m forgetting — and that’s one of the smaller cities on the outskirts of the urban growth boundary.
>Perhaps the supersonic range issue is just a really tough nut to crack?

Almost certainly.

You're right that trans-Pacific would be more compelling. Even with decent food, nice drink, and lie-flat seating, a trans-Pacific flight is still a long time to stay mostly sitting. (Though airlines could have lounges like the old first class lounge in the hump of 747s; people just don't want to pay for the space.)

Honestly, transatlantic is really not a big deal. Very few people are interested in flying back and forth in a day. And if you're going to stay overnight, NY to London, say, is really not a bad trip in business and you don't even need to do it as a red-eye.

I'd add that, if it weren't already the case relative to when the Concorde flew, I suspect that this period will permanently damp flying across the ocean just to sign a deal or do a quick meet and greet. (Which was certainly part of the market for Concordes).
This change seems like it will have the unintended consequence of transferring more power into the hands of large advertisers.

For one, this breaks company's (advertiser's and 3rd party data aggregator's) ability to link customers to campaigns, which effectively pushes measurement back to the advertising platform who have an inherent conflict of interest. They are selling the ads, and telling you how efficient the ads are.

Additionally, the only companies that can do battle with Apple to find loopholes/engineering solutions to this change are the companies that are (a) very large, (b) have the resources and talent to throw at the problem. There are several third party data providers that are basically toast now.

Edit: I don't work for FB, but I do build ML lifetime values models, which will get much harder after this change is made.
Yeah. Really not a fair equation when more than half of us didn't want the guy.
I believe it refers to the addition in iOS 14 where users have to explicitly opt-in to being tracked by advertisers. The ad industry is expecting most users to decline to be tracked, hence limiting the usefulness of targeted ads.
