Of course not. They ARE AWASH in income. They just figure out how to spend it fast. Fancy buildings, fancy retirement plans, outrageous administrative salaries.... For example the Chairman of UMASS Medical Center makes 2.3 million. The CEO of Harvard makes 9.25 million. How are these jobs an order of magnitude harder than the governor of Massachusetts. (salary 150K) Or harder than the US President (salary 400K). I cannot help but laugh when someone says that 'captains of industry take huge risks and therefore deserve handsome reimbursement". How is it risky when all you have to do is decide how much to raise tuition? Riskier than our soldiers who face AK47 rounds in the sandbox? (What does a marine make, again?) How can we afford to pay our teachers so little? People who literally hold the future of America in their hands?

And now with distance learning, tuitions have not decreased by an order of magnitude though the overhead should have.

Forgetting Fargate there?
We're not speaking of the same thing hence my confusion.

To reduce risks with Police encounters, they have to be accountable. It seems to me that the US Police would benefit from more accountability so I gave the example of the French Police.

I have no idea what they do with predictive policing here, but if they use it I can tell you with confidence that it's not working at all.

Free project idea: A Qubes OS alternative built on Bottlerocket.
Well this is a thread about the delivery business. I actually almost never use delivery services.
Wouldn't Amazon just adjust its algorithm to punish delays in delivery? Penalize drivers who take longer to get there than they should if they were truly nearby?
I can hit myself in the head and I don't lose my train of thought, instantly lose consciousness, or die. If consciousness relied on the precise positions of individual atoms (as far as that makes sense with moving particles) it would be way more fragile than we've observed it to be. The fact that your brain is resilient to being knocked around a bit is evidence towards the underlying mind being at least slightly higher level than where strong quantum effects live and also fairly redundant.
Yes, they work alright, that is, until they turn into totalitarianism.

Which they did, everywhere they were implemented.
Ok thanks for your response. I do agree that a UBI could go a lot further if it was implemented alongside universal healthcare and those two things together would significantly increase your bargaining position as a worker.
I assume it means the user input handler is given a deterministic time slot to do stuff. Regardless of what the operating system is doing, it will always schedule mouse movement (or something along those lines). It's a software implementation (scheduling), but it requires hardware that can support it - usually you need fine-grain control over interrupts. So typically nowadays you see RTOSes on microcontrollers (eg ARM). Maybe more precisely you need access to that fine grain control and that often means getting hold of datasheets that are under strict NDA (eg Broadcom).

RTOSes are often found in autopilot and vehicle management systems controlling critical peripherals or safety critical software. More mundanely there are also sensors that will get upset if you don't give them undivided attention for fixed periods of time (or if you interrupt them, they will terminate the transfer). Image sensors are particularly picky about this.
> Or how about breaking the degree monopoly with something like equivalent certification programs and let private companies fill the gap. Similar to what Google is doing with its certificate program they are rolling out.

This stuff has existed for years and there are probably thousands of "certification programs". Most of the time, they're deemed worthless.
It is difficult to overstate how mistaken this article is. College has mostly gotten more expensive because state support for public universities has dramatically decreased, from over 80% in the 1970's to less than 20% now. Since the taxpayer no longer pays for public higher education, the student does.

The logic of this made some sense at the time; very high tuition subsidies were a gift to the upper middle and upper class -- few poor students went to college back when subsidies were high. Ideally, states would have continued to fund higher education, and the increased tuition would be used to support lower income students. But the states took the money away from their universities in bad times, and did not replace it -- in my state (Virginia) it went to prisons and medicaid.

There are lots of other problems with student loan statistics -- it is true that the current student loan program has been a tremendous boon to for profit colleges and trade schools, which is where most of the default occurs. And the media likes to publicize the outliers; the average debt at public universities is about $26K, at private non-profits $31K.

But the overall cost of higher education has only slightly beaten the cost of living (and has certainly increased less than health costs); the price has gone up because students are responsible for more of the cost.
No, because Internet Explorer is (was) not slow. That's just a meme, and it's incorrect.
a lot of useless bureaucracy that culminates in yearly standstills via strikes. no wonder unions in France are slowly losing members:

> A survey published by France’s human rights defender, an independent administrative authority, revealed that a “fear of reprisal” was cited as the most common reason for employees’ low-engagement in trade unions.

A large majority of those surveyed said their trade union activities had a negative impact for their professional growth and said they felt discriminated against by their employers.

The survey highlighted the main causes for the decrease of trade union membership in France since the 1950's, which is now one of the lowest rates of unionised employees in the European
Sunk Cost Fallacy When Changing Career
The notion of self is an illusion the mind creates. (There are many benefits for doing so, not least of which is self-preservation which is helpful to producing progeny and so therefore is selected for during natural selection.)

To answer your question directly: one can transfer an emergent property of a system to another system by sufficiently transferring the mechanism that produce that emergent property in the first place. A good analog would be emulating the hardware of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) entirely in software [1].

does this work on mac now?
I've also switched to using Pluto, shortly after seeing the presentation during JuliaCon. It is still rough around the edges, but I've found it a lot easier to deal with than Jupyter, quite frankly.
I wouldn't put it past them to just be straight-up lying.
If your users can run malware, erm, what kind of permissions are you giving them? Hate to say it but a sysadmin's job is sometimes to say no.
In games and animations, everything is textured, but few things actually have a texture to them :)
Or the new competition will force Docker Inc to invest in Dockerhub features again.

Including the free tier, if they want to keep their "world's largest
library and community for container images" status. But free tiers cost money.

With RedHat going after Docker itself with their daemonless version of Docker, podman, and docker-ce's lack of cgroupsv2 support, Docker Enterprise having to compete with K8S, and there being multiple entrenched container registry companies (eg Quay) it must be tough at Docker Inc.
> Is there anything controversial in what I wrote?

Quite clearly yes, given it's all either factually incorrect or a subjective opinion.
Like a gold rush, sell the equipment and services. Not the mining.
Would it be safe to say that bottlerocket is a container host for running containers under a hypervisor? Or is it intended to do full hw interfacing and run bare metal?
Great post. I was confused by "channel 9" since I thought there may be rules or regulations against receiving ATC on a plane, but for anyone else who didn't know exactly what it referred to, it is (was?) an inflight entertainment feature of United Airlines.

>It helps millions of developers with static typing backgrounds to accept and deal with the imperfections of JavaScript.

Ah, just like when I made my superset of Spanish that gets rid of all those pesky verb endings and gendered articles and adjectives. People complained: "BUT THIS ISN'T SPANISH!" But really, why should any language be different from any other? It's just an impediment to their adoption.
Seems like that might be why walmart has the minimum and amazon doesn't. I've tried services like instacart and found the experience to be horrible and expensive. Amazon works much better because they've created strict guidelines so I always get what I expect. Doordash food is consistently cold. Instacart buys the wrong stuff half the time. I don't really trust people to make good decisions most of the time.
Why Bottlerocket? Why not just use Alpine, Void, NixOS, Arch, etc instead?
I think I'm more OK with a blanket ban. I guess it'd just be an embargo against China. At least it'll be consistent.

As it is there is a sense of unfairness I think. TikTok seems to be singled out with ambiguous and hard to pin down "national security" issues.

People point to FB and google being blocked in China, but at least the CCP can point to laws they're not complying with. And presumably if FB and google complied with Chinese laws (like Bing), they'd be able to operate there. With TikTok there aren't any laws anyone can point to that they're breaking. For example if there is a law that says social media platforms cannot censor users' content. As it is, this is just giving ammunition to the CCP to point to how unfair the US is being and how the west just wants to keep China and Chinese companies down.
I would guess because the input sanitizing requirement is harder for the web; having a stackoverflow when running locally requires the attacker to execute locally -- having a use-after-free from port 80 would be a much wider audience
For reference, cost in France is about 11kE per year for undergraduate and 22kE per year for master in computer science engineering. That's what it costs the university per student, not what the student pays (up to 1k a year). This doesn't cover accommodation or canteen since that's not part of the university.

I don't know what's the cost in the US but I don't imagine it's orders more. The worst number I heard from coworkers was 60k$ a year in NYC (that's easily triple income and taxes compared to France so not a straight comparison).
Sony cameras have clumsiness all over the place. Can you confidently count on getting 14 bit RAW files, or will you sometimes only get 12 bits? Are their RAW files losslessly compressed like every other manufacturer's?

These issues are what drove me to buy a Nikon Z7. I will also be honest in saying that with this decision I've traded off a camera system with weird problems for a camera system that's mostly missing the rest of the system.

Old style COM yes, UWP supports much more, value types, enumerations, generics, partial support for implementation inheritance (in context of XAML).

Also you ignored that .NET was made to fully support C++ via Managed C++, replaced with C++/CLI on version 2.0.
I misspoke and your post made me realize it, thank you. I edited the comment.

I somewhat understand a majority black cast. The target demographic may be black, and people like to see people like themselves in movies.

On top of that, they may be trying to be accurate to historical or regional details.

But to have both cast and crew as almost entirely black? I don't see the utility in that other than to make a political statement.

They did. They bought a great mobile backend called Parse and shut it down.
Some of us who had to deal with it still have bad memories.

> Parse was a mobile backend as a service platform originally developed by the provider Parse, Inc. The company was acquired by Facebook in 2013 and shut down in January 2017.[1][2] Following the announcement in 2016 of the impending shutdown, the platform was subsequently open sourced.

Unions in the western world in the post-war period made historical compromises with industry that helped contribute to 30-40 years of relative labour peace and high middle class prosperity. They purged communists and other radicals from their ranks, took anti-Soviet positions, and adopted cooperative and conciliatory bargaining positions that gained higher pay and job security by dropping some of the more classic demands of shopfloor control and political change.

As a result unions started to look more like guilds than classic unions, they became managerial organizations like the businesses they were attached to, and they often lost legitimacy with their own memberships as a result.

When the economy started to contract in the 70s they weren't in a good position to fight, and their influence waned. And when the Soviet Union collapsed in the late 80s they lost any kind of bargaining position -- nobody was afraid of the reds anymore, so they didn't need the unions or social democrats or Keynesian liberals to pacify the population and stomp out communist sympathy.
Unfair, unjust tax codes can certainly be evil. It's no longer to raise money -- it's to punish people. Why not just raise _everyone's_ taxes 1 point? That wouldn't be evil.

Those men are very real, but it's not obvious to me that the Internet is the cause or even exacerbating the issue. There are desperately lonely men in subcultures that don't heavily use the Internet too - they just end up doing drugs or crimes, which is worse for everyone involved.
That's not giving the Russia situation the nuance it deserves. The controversy is about the ability for motivated & funded actors to manufacture consent by exploiting weaknesses in the design of social media. That's a credible weakness in the design. The proposed solutions do merit criticism, because nobody has offered anything better than platform censorship, which destroys the authenticity of free speech.

I was just basically saying that I don't have to "get" why someone would want to spend money for nude pictures of people. I'm sure lots of people wouldn't get buying Lego sets either. But I do it because I like it.

Also, I'll get a picture up soon.

Additional: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1TEJNuOwgxsgTRi_j4AQo...

Here are pictures of the closet with non-Lego stuff cut out.

Lego1 contains sets I've built but are currently disassembled, with the exception of the Voltron which is at my office. I have the boxes for far fewer sets than are currently contained within those boxes. I typically keep the boxes only for certain sets.

Lego2 has pictures of the UCS Falcon and the UCS Star Destroyer. The Falcon was built and displayed, but is currently disassembled. The Star Destroyer has not been opened yet. The container underneath has the instructions and some sets in box I haven't built yet.

Lego3 is mostly unbuilt/unopened sets. You can also see my containers of loose bricks. Much older sets from throughout life.

Lego4 is the stuff on top of that. The NES set is currently built and on display.

Each picture represents probably anywhere from $1000 to $3000 worth of sets.
The government isn’t a good comparison. Unions hold no illusions about acting in the interests of the general public. Their express purpose is to protect the members of the union, even if that comes at the expense of the general public.

Police unions defending corrupt police and ensuring they can collect expensive public-funded pensions after blatant misconduct against the public is a prime example.

It’s a responsibility we take very seriously. We’re a ~40 person distributed team, profitable, and building a product our customers love.

We’re looking to add an Account Executive to help us build the most efficient inbound sales funnel in SaaS.
Did you read them? You really don't think there was a radical change of pace near the end with plot points being instantly resolved all over the place with resolutions that sometimes not only didn't match the buildup but sometimes didn't even seem in keeping with character traits?
Heh, I agree! I'd love to try something like that if it exists.
At least "Fedora CoreOS" still seems to be a thing.
> All the bits for the core of the system are open

No, some bits are open, and some bits track what's actually being shipped. Much of what is open sourced lags behind what is running on end user machines by several years. iOS modifications to XNU and Darwin were never made open source.

Apple is also dropping GPL internals in favor of open source but not copyleft licenses so that they don't have to release source code changes to the software they release.
