I’d be down for preventing the accompanying world war, but I’m neutral about displacing billions. Maybe I’m just a naturally-nomadic person, but I don’t see anything too wrong with governments making ultra-long-term plans to negotiate a rewrite of all global geographical borders by “sliding” the definitions of all existing countries further away from the equator and toward the poles, abandoning existing cities “inland” while rebuilding “outland”, and helping all those affected to either resettle, or ensuring they acquire citizenship of the country they now geographically reside in. (Though, with the requirement that those that would end up in the unlivable “no man’s land” zone at the equator, must be resettled.) And also, to make coordinated multilateral investments in increasing the arability of the currently-below-permafrost soil in northern Canada/Russia, Greenland, Antarctica, etc. for the whole world to take advantage of in the future.

(This would best be done not suddenly over years, but gradually over a century; with each country “losing” land on a schedule, as if a peninsula being eroded away into the sea; while gaining land at the same pace on the other end. Maybe each country could run a big painted cable across the country representing the border in places where it’s otherwise illegible, and then keep moving it along north/southward with each passing year. That would give people time to become wary of the encroaching border and move away, probably taking advantage of some government tax credit for doing so.)

As long as all this is done through negotiated treaties, rather than through war, this sort of mass resettlement seems somewhat like a good idea—even if we don’t experience world-shattering climate change. It’d be a recognition of the fact that some places in the world are (naturally) livable for human beings, while others aren’t. And that people have natural rights, no matter their country of citizenship, to reside in a livable climate. Which means that the people who were already living in not-naturally-livable areas even before recent anthropogenic climate change, would be acknowledged as having the right to resettle somewhere more livable, with governments working to change borders or citizenships to allow them that.

Starts to sound a lot like eugenics.

All the evidence suggests that if you raise standards of living and give women control of their own fertility, then birth rates drop naturally (and fairly rapidly). Turns out, when given the choice, most women prefer to have one or two children. This trend has been replicated across (all?) developed countries with very different cultures.

There's no reason to believe the kind of coercion you're proposing is necessary, if you could even justify it ethically.

Those days aren’t entirely over (my out of warranty iMac is getting great care, my out of warranty iPhone had AppleCare and they waived the screen fee even though it expired a couple months prior - this was in 2019), but they’re at the scale that it is hard to please everybody at a profit and easy to blog about being upset.
yeah if you cancel a trial of Apple TV+ it is canceled with immediate effect. Seems harsh.
I share your sentiment. Back in the 1970s (when I was a kid) through the 1990s, getting a new piece of hi-tech gear was just plain fun.

Modern hardware is even more awesome, but it seems like almost every product that interests me is tarnished by manufacturers hell-bent on recurring revenue streams, or gathering as much of my personal information as possible to increase their profits.

I make a living as a software developer, but I'm coming to hate so much about modern technology. It reminds me of a line from the movie Sneakers [0], where some anonymous corporate programmer says to another, "Remember when computers used to be fun?" (Or something like that. I saw the movie 25 years ago.)

Come to think of it, you're right. I was mentally combining that 2FA method with “new device attempted login” detection, but the latter is usually separate from 2FA. If a login system uses that and provides notice and requires confirmation through a side channel, rather than merely providing informational notice, it will stop (or at least, make it easier to stop; a second user mistake or preexisting side-channel compromise is still possible) the attack. If it's just notice, it at may limit the impact or streamline recovery from the attack.

But now that I think about it, it would make sense to combine new device notification with push-notice 2FA for exactly that reason, since you've got a push channel that takes a confirmation already, flag unexpected devices in that channel as well and it becomes much more secure.
You're surrounded by the children of the elite, who model the etiquette and behavior of their parents. After a few years, you tend to imitate them and that allows you to move in those circles effortlessly. That gives you access into high powered careers like high finance, strategy consulting, and corporate law where upper-middle class behaviors are required. McKinsey just isn't going to take someone with the behaviors of a yokel and put him in front of a F500 CEO even if he's a literal genius. You have to look and act the part. That's the true value of an elite education: a rubber stamp and an understanding of the behaviors and habits of the elite.
Consumer protections are based on your country's laws, but credit cards will generally have stronger protections than debit cards and bank accounts. In the US, the consumer's liability for unauthorized credit card use is capped at $50, while the liability for unauthorized debit card and bank account use is capped at $50 (2 days), capped at $500 (3-60 days), or is unlimited (61+ days) depending on when you report it. Most American financial institutions go beyond the law to promise $0 liability for unauthorized credit card use.

- I dont open any ads (but ad nauseum [1] does)

- I dont use TikTok and I dont see anything positive in it so even if I would be advertising I surely wouldn't spam kids with ads

Luciano Berio's Sequenza X is generally a solo trumpet piece, but it requires a piano nearby for resonance. Henri Dutilleux’s Figures de résonance for two pianos also exploits the idea.

Also, when it comes to purely solo piano works that require one to leave certain keys silently depressed for resonance effects, György Ligeti's Touches bloquées comes to mind.

Naming large weather events makes a lot of sense. Hurricanes are very good example of that. They are actual entities which behavior gets tracked. It is much easier for the public to keep up to date, when there is an easy to remember name.
Why would an employees commute be out of the hands of the employer? Companies already provide incentives to help employees with commutes: public transit benefits, wfh days, shuttle services.

It seems especially obvious at the moment that companies could simply eliminate tens (or even hundreds) of thousands of commutes instantly by letting the vast majority of their employees wfh permanently (or much more frequently at least).

Additionally it'd probably be pretty easy to brainstorm a dozen more less common ideas/incentives companies could start trialing: pay people to take public transit instead of just subsidizing partial costs, have more satellite offices or pay for wework type space, a welcome packet that includes an option for a bicycle and fitness trainer, additional shuttle services, long term plans such as working with the government to invest in bicycle/public transit infrastructure, etc etc

This whole thing seems crazy to me (I don't do a lot of importing). Customs has the ability to determine if the UL logo on a charger is fake or if a phrase breaks trademark law, and then confiscates an _entire_ shipment?

Why is it CBP/custom's job to enforce trademark law? I could just as easily print a fake logo in the US, but border control won't come after me - the people responsible for enforcing those laws will.

It seems you have absolutely no legal recourse here too, and it hurts American businesses. I know the US is far from libertarian, but this seems like overreach in the strangest way possible.

The plot twist in this system is blocking, muting, and locked accounts, which make denormalized timelines a lot harder. You basically need a very fast side system that can be queried for visibility, especially because eventually consistent privacy features (i.e., running a "account became locked" feature on a similar queue to "fan out tweets" in your model) are not treated lightly by customers.

The main source of revenue for ARM is, by far, royalties. Licenses are paid once, royalties are paid by unit shipped. And they shipped billions last year.

Revenue is not $300, we don't know what ARM's revenue is because it hasn't been published since 2016. And back then it was like $1.5 billion. $300 million was net income. Again, in 2016.

I think you've already been adequately corrected on your misconceptions about ARM's CPU design teams.

As someone who's fairly involved with the e-commerce/digital marketing space, let me just say I'm amazed by how brazenly nasty this scam is.

The TikTok promotional program is actually a real thing that does give around that amount of ad credit, and they have been promoting it very aggressively on Facebook with for a long while now, so it makes sense that OP would've not had any mental red flags triggered by the designs and creatives used by the scammers. The real killer is that PayPal is actually well within their rights to process this transaction (as part of the billing agreement generated when you link PayPal to Facebook Ads Manager: there actually was real ad spend in a real Facebook ad auction), so it's down to Facebook itself to refund the ad spend. (As an aside, I'm actually impressed that OP managed to reach Facebook support at all, and that they acknowledged or even understood what the problem was. I have had worse experiences in the past with FB...). What's really amazing to me is that the scammers managed to get on Google Play with thousands of obviously fake reviews, and get through Facebook ad review at all.

The scammer silently removing OP as an admin from their own ad account, preventing them from noticing or stopping the fraudulent ad campaign is just icing.

I suppose the real lesson to be learned is to simply avoid installing native applications when you can help it. OP didn't screenshot the login screen in app, so I can only assume it was a real Facebook oauth flow, but honestly at that point it's already too late. If anything OP should be grateful that the native app running on what was presumably his personal device didn't do anything worse.

I dunno. I have an airtight stove as the only source of heat. We don't have gas or oil available out in the remote parts of Canada so wood heat is much healthier than freezing to death. Cutting, splitting, and hauling the wood keeps me in remarkably good health and the design of an airtight stove and functional lined chimney stack means I don't breathe smoke or particular matter and efficiency is remarkably high.

The wood used is not fed with industrial fertilizer, it doesn't require clearing the land to grow, and it doesn't require irrigation or ongoing maintenance. 100% of the carbon it contains was sucked out of the air not mined from the foundations of the Earth. It is completely carbon neutral.

I would go as far as saying wood heat is fantastic for human health.

I moved a ton of data in and out of S3 when I worked at $STARTUP. You just need to tune the s3 options a bit. Haven't had any problems using a beefy machine, often saturating 1Gbps with small files, or 10Gbps with large files, using a single beefy machine.
I can't stress this enough.

Please always check for the correct spelling, punctuation and stylizations of words/brands in a suspected ad. It's written as "TikTok" everywhere, not "Tiktok". I almost always see this kind of stylization errors in fraud ads.
Used to work at a startup a few tables over from these guys at the Harvard I-Lab a few years ago in college.

My favourite is this one: https://preshing.com/20121224/how-to-generate-a-sequence-of-...

* Creates a sequence of unique integers

* Uses prime numbers that are congruent to P = 3 (mod 4).

* A single iteration has noticable patterns but applying it twice already results in randomness that is sufficiently good for many use cases.

* It is "embarrassingly parallel", a simple mapping of randomValue = randomize(i). You can calculate unique and deterministic random numbers from input i in parallel threads with no sync between threads.

* Since it is a unique mapping of i to r, you can use it to shuffle data sets virtually instantly. Take the index of a value in the original array, and use it to compute the target index in the shuffled array.

* I've used it to shuffle up to 800 million items per second on a GPU, including the time it took to transfer the data from RAM to GPU. So without the IO, you could probably shuffle billions of values per second, probably mostly bound by GPU bandwidth. E.g., 700GB/s and each item is 70 bytes -> could perhabs shuffle 10 billion items per second.
I think proof of stake/liquidity providers with lockup creates enough incentive to keep the network effects within one system. Open sourcing the application side is a bit trickier.

> isn't this a temp container that disappears when you shut it down

For this part, the container of Code-Server in OOTB Code-Server suite is a VM-like persistent and mutable container powered by LXD, so it doesn't disappear even if you shut it down.

As for the use case for Code-Server, it allows to access single server-powered environment from any computer as you guess. I personally use Code-Server from my iPad and laptop.
Are you seriously trying to claim that programming, of any useful sort, is so hard that only really smart people, presumably like yourself, can do it? Christ.

if not for the problem of mitigating sand erosion, deserts seem well-suited for solar farms. I believe the statistic is that all the necessary power to power double humanity's electric consumption could be generated from a tiny patch of the Sahara---big enough to be seen from space, but tiny in the grand scheme of things (1)

(1) This is, of course, the foolish way to go about it, since distribution costs would be enormous and that kind of centralization is dangerous for a robust system. But it's a fun thought experiment to visualize the scale of the problem and the gap between the inefficiency of the modern system and potential improvements.

Wasn't this a promise from Palmer Luckey as an individual, not a statement from either Oculus or Facebook? As a owner of Oculus, the difference doesn't really matter, it sucks none the less.

> Try telling the 100000+ homeless students in NY that ignorance is a deliberate choice.

Let's not lose sight of the subject of the article, which is disinformation, promulgated for example via Facebook and Twitter. There's no evidence that this issue is correlated with homelessness. In fact the people who eat up the disinformation tend to have easy access to internet and television. If homelessness were the problem, then solving homelessness would solve disinformation, but there's no reason to think that's the case. You're more likely to hear internet disinformation repeated in a country club than on the streets.

Lack of financial access to a good education is of course a severe societal problem. But it's not the heart of the matter here, specifically.

> It's also tough being a good learner when you're both a full time worker and student.

It's tough, but in my experience the people who work full time and go to school simultaneously tend to be the most motivated. They want to learn, even if they struggle to find the time, otherwise they'd just drop out. The laziest students are often the ones with plenty of free time, which they spend on partying, sports, and other leisure as opposed to studying.

However, as I suggested in another comment, college is probably too late to reach most kids. If you don't start working on them earlier, they're already set into a lot of bad attitudes and habits.

Another common thing you can do is accept a generic stream as input, but have some code that penetrates the abstraction a bit to see what kind of stream it is, and if it is a file or something, do something special with it to go even faster. This way, you start with something maximally useful up front, and easy to use, but you can optimize things based on details as you go.

That's how Go's static file web server works. It serves streams, but if you happen to io.Copy to that stream with something that is also an ∗os.File on Linux, it can use the sendfile call in the kernel instead. (A downside of making it so transparent is that if you wrap that stream with something you may not realize that you've wrecked the optimization because it no longer unwraps to an ∗os.File but whatever your wrapper is, but, well, nothing's perfect.)
