The jittery audio on the gallery link can hardly be considered public access to the proceeding. Whatever makes it on to the court transcript is not witnessed by anyone in the public, and while that's not a necessary condition for the transcript, in a case like this where the entire intelligence establishment has a huge interest in the outcome, since this is litigating the legitimacy of state secrets by proxy, it risks the credibility of the court.

Do you not think executive pay in the aggregate directly correlates to the value they provide to the company? Clearly not in terms of their individual labor, but the value of the unique guidance and leadership they provide. Of course there are plenty of examples of executives being paid too much, but those companies are providing opportunities for competitors with more appropriate pay structure to undercut them. In the long term, in a free market this should only be an issue with monopolies which are already regulated.

No it wasn't OK when Softbank bought them, I vehemently disagreed with the sale then, as this was the next step after Softbank acquired them.

Although I dont agree with selling to Softbank at least they didn't have a dog in the game. What is bad about Nvidia is that they have a dog in the (chip) game. A major reason you went to ARM was for a non biased design team - you knew you were getting their best if you paid for it. Now I'm afraid you don't.

Also my comment is not anti US, it just so happens that the US has all the big tech companies and foolishly the European countries, especially the UK believes it can compete in a level playing field with the US even though the US's GDP is about 9 times bigger than the UK's - god knows how much bigger its equities markets are.

At the EU level the US is not but then this kind of stuff isn't decided about at the EU level - maybe it should be, not that that will help the UK see the error in its ways after Christmas.

Forget party politics for a moment.

The BBC buried the story they had about their former 'star' and Prince Charles' friend Jimmy Saville being a mass-pedarest.

It's a big place with many competing interests, styles of journalist, editor and so on. There is no /one/ bbc. They levy their own taxes(!) so are independent for funding.

I am trying to recall the last time the BBC was critical of British foreign policy or their secret service. Be it in Ireland, Iraq or elsewhere. Regardless of which party had a leader who was Prime Minister at the time. I'm not coming up with much.

Burying this story is exactly in keeping with my recollection of how the BBC does it. It is a /huge/ story, why is it not being run? The contrast with the amount of coverage of some ridiculous hollywood divorce which is literally of no importance to anyone whatsoever is utterly stunning, is it not? Do we put that down to incompetence? My Occam's razor is struggling with that but I guess it's at least possible "Assange isn't getting enough clicks, drop it."

"Then you haven’t really used excel beyond loading a CSV into a table."

Bad example. I've brought LibreOffice to its knees after importing a CSV file: went to adjust a column width and it became non-responsive. And this was within the last year. They have done a lot of performance work on LibreOffice and I appreciate that, but it is a long way away from Excel for serious work.

I feel like choosing between the two for a new project comes down to one factor: do you truly need to maximize performance? Be honest.

If yes, Rust: no GC, consider the rayon crate for concurrency. Higher learning curve, ecosystem may not be as mature for certain areas yet (outside of web assembly).

If no, Go: lower learning curve, runtime-managed concurrency, more ecosystem maturity for most enterprise software tasks.
As others have mentioned the bottleneck is typically getting a good mobile plan especially if you intend to move around a larger region across borders. The EU has sort of gotten to a point where roaming costs are no more (with the right plan). E.g. I have 20GB/m I can use anywhere in Europe for 20pounds/m (Vodafone) without incurring roaming costs but once you introduce video-conferencing or video streaming that's not gonna cut it regardless of how good the signal is.

Thus I've found in the past 11 months that I've been nomadicking around Europe that you often depend on getting some good wifi which is quite the hassle (especially in rural destinations). I have high-hopes for apps like this to create a knowledge-base for areas with good broadband.
I think this is pretty well explained by Chomsky's Propaganda Model, and unfortunately not very surprising. It is not that the governments of the US and UK have conspired to conceal the truth, but that the media has chosen to censor itself. It does this in favor of the government support it receives, in the form of receiving official sources and avoiding flak.

The IRC protocol is both text-based and simple enough that you can use something like netcat as a client (and I have, many times.) The line-based format fits IM perfectly, and the overhead of the protocol is a tiny fraction of the bloated proprietary ones that have filled this use-case today (except MSNP, which in its earlier versions was also delightfully simple and easy to write a client for, but definitely beyond the threshold of being usable "raw".)
What compiler are you talking about? Clang? If so, clang supports many other build targets besides just MacOS / iOS.
Thanks for pointing out that it supports floating windows. I use a 55" 4k monitor so I manually lay out my app windows and would hate tiling (only rarely used stuff goes up top and I drag those down when needed). I use and like gnome but there are a few thing I hate about it so I'll give this a try.
There’s a little truth in what you say but a very fatalist part too which is quite untrue.

We could say that roads are a natural monopoly (since they have to intersect everywhere it would be inefficient to have competitors fight and negotiate about every intersection) ...however, the consequences of that natural monopoly can be limited or extreme. For example: do we get to own private cars that drive on those roadways? Or must we all rent a national transportation vehicle at a non-competitive price? etc. where exactly does the “natural monopoly” begin/end and how natural is it?

I caution against letting your thoughts rest on the words “natural monopoly”.

You are not getting a raise, you are getting a pay cut.

The company wins and tries to convince you that you also win because "cost of living is lower". You buy it at your perils.

Also note that, in any case, once you have moved the company will then have an incentive to put the brake on salary increases because "you earn above the local area's average", which may further be an area will less opportunities.

People move from lower income to higher income areas/countries for a reason, even if the cost of living also increases. That's because in the end you keep more in your pocket then can do what you want (e.g. once you've made your money you can move back to a lower income area and buy a huge mansion and enjoy).

I don't think we actually disagree on _any_ of your points. I was merely explaining an alternative perspective that I can respect and acknowledge. I will note too that I got plenty of downvotes as well (without any response but yours I might add). You certainly can see that people will behave as such from both sides of the spectrum. There is no way in hell I am going to vote for Trump. I can just understand why people would. I might also add as a pro-life person it rings a bit hollow talking about newborn mistreatment (terrible though it might be) when our society can literally kill unborn babies on a whim. One can be pro-life (conservative) and pro-environment (liberal somehow?) in the same breath!
White (with a black border) is fine too. Black is popular, but the goal is to make it an image with no residual data.
It's a loose comparison, but a monopoly is like monarchy, competition is like democracy.

If a country has a king that is truly capable, caring and trusted, he can get a lot of things done that no other system can compete with. If he is Robert Mugabe, tough luck.

If the country has a democracy, there is limit to the amount of damage any one leader can do. And there is a hope that over time, the system will promote the "better" leader.

Similarly, when there is on a monopoly, and the leaders really care about developing the space, lots of good can come of it. Such as AT&T for a time, and IMO Google back in Sergey Brin's days as CEO.

But when they have gone south, it brings down the whole sector. Whereas with competition, there is a limit to the stagnation and anti-consumer behavior, and a hope that the favored companies will generally prevail.

Over the long run, I am pretty sure that democracies / competition is the better bet for progress.

<OT> Abrahamic religions pine for a king who will be perfect (a "Messiah"), since that has the benefits without the risk. Meanwhile, the religions compete with each other, which is a arguably better than if one had complete control.</OT>
Also, many rural areas have cooperatives for their internet and have gigabit fiber, now. I live 40-50 minutes from the closest 'town' and 3-4 hours from the closest urban center, and I will have fiber by the end of this month. Remote work is absolutely an option.

That being said, no one should consider flyover country to move to. Please stay away from my flyover country, it's bad enough with east and west coast investment firms buying all the property and driving regular folks out of the market entirely. When my partner and I bought the property our home is on, in 2009, we paid ~$3,000/acre. This was a high price.

The place next to ours sold last week for ~$13,000/acre to an investment firm from New Jersey.

I feel a shift coming, and I feel like the smart money is way out in front of it - buying up land that would be ripe for development once people figure out how much cheaper it is in the country.

And it's killing the people who live out here, right now. I can't imagine what it will look like if people start moving out here.
Come up with a small project and code it in both. It will help you decide which feels better to you.

But in my experience, I wouldn't pick Go. Having the GC makes it easier to just get things done than with Rust, but it doesn't take long to feel like all the logic is lost to the noise of error handling. It also seems easy to miss closing resources with defer since there's nothing like .NET's IDisposable to look for.

If you need a large variety of battle-tested libraries, I wouldn't choose either though. Python, C#, Java, and C++ are better choices there.

You can have multiple OSs running on WSL2, so for example have a Ubuntu 20.04 and a SUSE or Kali.. and you can have one workspace for each OS it will connect to the different OSs ctrl+r on VSCode you can change the workspace and therefore connect to the different OS under WSL2.
Arguably, non-nuclear fossil power is just as dangerous due to less regulation (pollution, climate change). And I wouldn't discount second-order effects from renewables either. And dam breaks can be far deadlier than nuclear accidents.

We are not really "fit" for any technology, but lack of technology wouldn't keep us safe from existential risks either. The solution is to transcend our biological substrate altogether.

An estate tax should be simple and Draconian to be effective. Simple is you have $10 million to distribute to anybody you so decide in your will. Only one blanket exception without restrictions or definitions attached. Everything else goes to the government. Any assets transfered out of country, as well as those derived thereof, are forfeit to the government, and any internally claimed jurisdictions, upon reentry.
Nor should you.

It can't help but be a little frustrating, however well-intentioned, when someone without the experience to accurately inform the comment says something like "but he's still your dad", "she's still your mom", et cetera. Bridges burn just as well from either end. And I think it's genuinely difficult for most good or even decent parents, in particular, to imagine how bad bad parents can be.
Some programs benefit them but the things you listed were secondary interventions, interventions. If there was no stimulus and business stayed open that would have benefited them.
I've been using Manjaro Linux as my daily driver for 2 years and I can't complain at all about it. It absolutely just works. Installing software is easier than any other OS and Manjaro's default desktop environment, XFCE, does a Windows-style UI better than Windows 10 does IMO and with more features, like being able to middle-click taskbar items to close them just like Chrome tabs - a feature I used to have to hack Windows to enable. Even when I've had to write small scripts for XFCE to add features, I don't feel like I'm hacking because everything I'm doing is supported.

Of course I keep a few separate Windows PCs around to do things that Windows can only do (when I need to do them, which hasn't happened for quite some time now) like SQL Server Management Studio, Visual Studio and some games/video streaming services.

Also, I keep a Mac around to do Mac things like debugging an iOS app or helping some junior developers who only know how to use a Mac.
movies became too formulaic over time

Don't forget about the endless reboots. E.g. Batman in film:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_in_film

1940s (before my time)

1966 movie

1987+ reboot with 4 movies

2005+ reboot with 3 movies

2021 apparently yet another reboot

I probably got some of that wrong, because there's just too many of them. And I probably missed some. And that doesn't include the "extended universe".

Sigh. Can't they find any other stories to tell?

I think the same applies to e.g. Spider Man? Countless reboots? Don't people get reboot fatigue? Or does enough time pass that the movies simply appeal to a new audience?
Yes. I want to subscribe to his newsletter for sure.
Tiling people would create a group up on the top. When you want to bring it down, it's just a keyboard command away.

> "Improve your user experience and get rid of the anarchy of traditional desktop workflows."

This usage of "anarchy" makes me wonder what is so satisfying to advocates of "tiling". I personally don't have a need for new windows to conform to a strict placement algorithm.

My usability requirement for new windows: a) open the window in a timely manner and make it distinct so I can identify it; b) don't fiddle with my visual field unnecessarily.

I use OpenBox. I make the "active" window distinct using a custom theme. I open what I need and hide the rest in a shaded window and/or virtual desktop until I need it. I find what I need in the menus.

(I won't debate the qualities of Gnome, but I prefer a lighter DE.)

It's going to depend a lot on personal situation, but they might not be able to obtain a new loan due to credit assessment, and therefore be stuck with the old one.

Perversely, at least in the UK, a lot of people are paying higher rent than they would be for a mortgage for a similar place, but they can't get a mortgage due to "affordability", despite a demonstrated history of paying the rent.

Similarly, people can be on a 10% mortgage, paying it consistently, but unable to open a new, cheaper mortgage to replace it because their current circumstances don't pass the criteria. Criteria may include age (time to retirement) and current income.

I did not try to misrepresent anything. That first quote I left out because it was standard politician's doublespeak, i.e. not admitting anything nor committing to anything.

Yes, my comment was a gut reaction. That reaction was purely based on the gall of calling into question whether the system is broken at all. To formalize my thought process:

1. $system exists to certify machines in $domain (premise)

2. 346 people die in two related $domain failures (premise)

3. $politician rejects the notion that $system is broken (premise)

4. a well-functioning system is apparently allowed to result in 346 deaths (conclusion)
