Do you happen to have some of this evidence on hand? Everything I've read on it suggests the exact opposite: that (at least here in the US) it'll not only work better than existing welfare systems, but would end up being cheaper.
This is not a tax dodge. My guess is he's recognised that Trump is not going to concede to this coup attempt and is worried about the consequences. It is interesting to me that Cyprus does not extradite.

Aww man, I've been ideating around this exact idea for MSFT teams for a while now. (not like I had any time or buy-in for it) BRILLIANT. There is always a faint sense of jealousy and vindication when I see an idea being executed so close to what a person has been pushing for.

Congrats ! I think you're onto something.

I would readily pay for this if I could get my entire team to adopt it. (which I'd say is nearly impossible)

I might sound like making a deal with the devil, but if you could integrate your service into MSFT teams, you might be able to get a huge user-base quite fast.
I have the same bad experience with Broadcom's technical support. I worked on a project based around StrataXGS Tomahawk and some other chip I can't remember right now. One of those chipsets would randomly lock itself and stop switching traffic somewhere about 5-6 minutes after rebooting. It took us ONE WHOLE FREAKING YEAR of debugging on our side and nagging them to make them figure out that they forgot to tell us that some specific PCI-E clock settings must be set in THEIR OWN DRIVER. It was paid support. Imagine the horrors of dev team whose product gets delayed one year and now imagine their faces after Broadcom provided the solution.

Also, their requests to plug in "logic analyzer" on the PCI-E bus between host CPU and their chipset in finished product where everything was using BGA soldered parts - yeah...

I believe the only reason everything they share with you is under NDA so you don't go and publicly tell how bad they really are. They are like Boeing to me, but I yet have to see their MAX-like mistake.
This is the reason I subscribed to Consumer Reports. I pay $10 a month to have access to unbiased scoring of products. It's $40 a year, they're relying on donations but I'm fine with paying more to help support them.
I imagine a script could be used with qemu - given that patch you mentioned, which I would love a source for if you have it - to match the names of the virtual devices with names of devices on the physical host. Then there's no way for software to check the device names against a list of VM tools, since it always matches real, physical hardware.

At that point, it seems to me that there isn't much left to distinguish the virtual machine from the physical. Behavioral properties of the CPU? Anyway, that's what I meant when I said it seems like after a certain point, it becomes impossible to tell the difference.

EDIT: based on the link above, it looks like current state-of-the-art doesn't go far beyond making sure names and common virtualbox performance shortcuts aren't present. https://github.com/hfiref0x/VBoxHardenedLoader/blob/master/B...
For the most part the PPL is intended for consumer information commodities, this could be software, but not captial information comodities like server software or programming languages, but rather books, movies, video games, end-user consumer desktop top software, etc.

For capital information goods I recommend the GPL, or even BSD style licenses depending on what it is and who is making it and what their plan is.
In this case they did police his review though. They removed his review that mentioned the five-star review bribe attempt.

I'm planning to make the leap off iPhone once my current phone is out of warranty (2 months left) and am in the market for a high quality but not obscenely priced Android phone. Google phones seem to be the least weighed down by manufacturer crapware. The 4a is the one I'm looking at.

I do plan to flash either Lineage or some other custom ROM though.
Maybe part of the solution is to get rid of GPAs and switch to a pass-fail system.

Most Italian pizza has rather little cheese. I remember watching something once where the chef of a fancy pizzeria said that the most important thing in pizza is the bread: it should taste great without any topping. Then the sauce and finally everything else.

I've had a great vegan pizza once and between bread, sauce and toppings, it tasted like great Italian-style pizza. Sure, a sprinkle of cheese would have made it better still, but the point is it tasted great and it tasted like pizza.

Sure, it doesn't make for a great American-style pizza, which is all about overloading on cheese (and having rather meh tasting bread typically...), but that's not all there is to pizza around the world.

Interestingly I've found Amazon shipping has gone to the dump too, which was one of the final things they had going for them. At first it was completely understandable with the pandemic, but they seem to have taken that as an excuse to just give up on the Prime shipping promise period indefinitely. I was starting to order everything sensitive, from electronics to health, elsewhere anyway over counterfeit and fraud worries. But now I find other places ship massively faster than Amazon, "Prime" shipping on Amazon routinely takes a week or even weeks, plural, even when it says "in stock". Other places ship right away and have it my rural area in days.

So for me at least Amazon has finally exited default territory, because it doesn't even have the "well it's more risky, but it's fast and reliable" rush argument anymore. Of course I don't expect the general population to move instantly, and it's not like I've dumped them entirely either. There are even some manufacturers I like who use them for fulfillment pretty exclusively (at least for small orders). But I do wonder in cases like this whether we'll see a non-linear curve: everything seems to be going swell for a business, right until some tipping point is reached and suddenly things go backwards fairly quickly. And that can be hard to recover from. Of course Amazon does have some moats overall, I don't expect them as a going concern to have any real trouble particularly on the service side, AWS and all that. But the moats actually seem weakest for Amazon-as-a-B2C-market, there isn't really anything inherently sticky there beyond habit.
> California contributes so much to red states, and what do they get in return? A bunch of senators and presidents who do nothing about climate change, thereby letting California burn even more.

It's easy to imagine a political party that runs on a "cheap power for the cities" policy which involves mining and burning coal a long way away from any city.

> I've been trying to find a "proper" connection between audible sound and visible shape, a connection that would not only preserve all the information, but would also properly visualize the "symmetry" in sound, so that messy sound would turn into messy images and harmonic sound would turn into visually appealing images.

It is very exciting to come across others who are also interested in this topic. I am also very interested in the shape of sound but I have spent less time on empirical observations and more on imagining an abstract logic of numbers which can be visualized and heard. Real sound visualizations are also interesting to me but I decided to focus on abstract ideals because I thought it would be appropriate for a video game.

I do find the closed nature of the project problematic, but not for the reason you list: if I invest many hours into making games on the platform I want to be sure that I'll still be able to run them easily 10 years from now.

Hopefully if the author ever decides to stop working on the project they'll release the source code for the community to keep it alive.
Honestly depends on the pizza. You can have good vegan pizza and bad normal pizza. You can have "cheese replacement" and you can have pizza that just doesn't use cheese. There's a wide spectrum and some of it is, IMHO, pretty nice (maybe some cheese would make it better still though) and some is not.

All the leading black youth activist orgs in Chicago promote defunding/abolishing police.

It's worth noting the age difference - that defunding police is popular among younger people of color, and unpopular among older people of color, still by and large subscribing to the tough-on-crime approach.
That's a good example of the same thing. When people say a feature of a business is a problem for the business they are just wrong. It's not. In the case of United if they "fixed" it they'd make much less profit, maybe make a loss, or even fail entirely.

It's a problem for the customers of the business, but that isn't the same thing at all. If you don't recognize that you will never understand why companies happily go for years without fixing some problems that make customers complain a lot.
I guess... but like, that's what Wi-Fi AX is supposed to cater to. Apart from voice traffic, which isn't extreme, it's hard to imagine why cellular (which is carrier-specific) would be preferred over Wi-Fi deployment. If the cell towers are in the facility, they need to provide the fiber backhaul either way.
No you couldn’t. I watched both Java and Go since they got released and Java really quickly went into the over-engineering and complexity camp long before generics. I worked as a consultant doing Java long before generics and the culture of over-engineering was already there. The language also really encourage it.

Go is an entirely different beast. The language, libraries and whole community is really worshipping simplicity in a way Java never did.

Just look around a bit at the standard library. There are pretty much no setters and getters. No inheritance hierarchy to speak of. Not even constructors most of the time.

It is not without reason that Go angers a lot of people that think they know how to do software. It breaks all the rules they have kept sacred, that they think all “real” programmers should follow.

Think about it this way. If Java is SLS assembled in a clean room never getting done, then Go is more like SpaceX assembling a rocket in open space with guy who normally weld water towers. It isn’t how it is supposed to be done but it works and they get shit done 20x faster.
This is why I don't buy from Amazon at all anymore.
Technically less different than you might think, but it is much higher speed due to being bit-serial. The lowest pixel clock that must be supported by all devices is around 25 MHz (for VGA), which results in a bit rate of 250 MHz (8 payload bits per pixel per TMDS pair, encoded as 10 bits on the wire).
So stoked for Zig!
The Pico-8, in both its aesthetic and its imposed constraints, creates a "fantasy version" of the experience of working on actual 8-bit consoles. It presents that era as people remember it, instead of as it actually was. I think a similar thing could be done for the N64 generation.
Many of them have annoying requirements, like having to live there, possibly coming along with pesky tax obligations. Yuck!
Zendesk has a horrible UI for that reason. You open the dropdown menu to choose the operation to be applied, try click "pending" and inadvertently end up pressing "solved" when the UI changes just in time. Infuriating. I've been trained to patiently wait until the flickering ends, which is such a shame in 2020.
In summary: FB ads don't work. If you want to sling cheap product you're going to have to be more interesting than generic ads, the people left without adblockers are pretty desensitized.
I just made exactly that jump, from a Pixel 2 to a new 4a, and I am pretty happy with it (nice screen, battery life is great). It's also an experiment for me, I have been rooting to block ads, but I decided to try do that via DNS over TLS (aka 'Private DNS') and NextDNS. So far it's working pretty well.

I'm convinced that "Amazon's Choice" means that it is Amazon's choicest item for high margins [0], and most certainly does not mean that their staff of highly discriminating reviewers decided that this is the best of the bunch.

Which is why the item to which you refer is still "Amazon's Choice": everyone's making money except the end consumer.

> Worst still, I've seen Amazon produce a banner with the phrase "Dispatched and Sold by Amazon" - gives you the guarantee to receive original and genuine[2] This means they know that other listings may not be original or genuine

I don't think that's the intent there; at least, that's not what it means to me. To me that means:

> you get this today or tomorrow

as opposed to:

> you get this some time in the next several weeks depending on when the next boat from China docks, or if there's already some buffer; also returns are going to be marginally more of a hassle, but still better than most other websites
This is why you should prioritize 4-star reviews if you want an honest positive opinion on the product.

For negative reviews, I look at 1-stars, but these are often "arrived broken" etc. types of reviews. Unless that's a large portion, I ignore them. I look at 2-star reviews when I want a good review on the flaws of a product.
> I don't understand why sites like that need to look like they're from the 90s.

"they’re fed up with monopolies like Comcast."

Why do they feel a different monopoly will be better?

There's no reason to believe that the local government owned monopoly will be more efficient or more effectively managed.

It could be, but not necessarily.

These 'grass is greener on the other side' type referendums are difficult if they don't really capture the issue.

The 'root cause' is the single point of access and we could all feasibly use more intelligent laws there.

They tried that 20 years ago with the concept of 'CLEC' and there were all sorts of laws put in place, it didn't work out very well. There may be other opportunities.

For example, it may be possible to make the 'last mile' the responsibility of the city or county, to the point wherein they get the wiring to a proper exchange where there's compeitition.

Then if people want fiber to the home, they can pay for it themselves kind of thing.

I wonder how much VPSes and the like have offset this. I know a lot of people that do all development stuff through some sort of remote desktop/SSH. I can see high schools just offering free AWS/Azure/GCP credits to the students, or maybe just student clubs depending on how its funded.

I'm planning to buy the iPad Air/iPad Pro with the Magic Keyboard to do everything either over RDP or on the device itself (already own an iPad + Apple Pencil). I'm a Math student primarily, so most of my time is spent using the pencil and not as much with a keyboard and trackpad.
When Carl Sagan was writing "Contact" he attended a conference that was also attended by his friend Kip Thorne. Sagan knew that one of Thorne's pet peeves was science fiction that just hand-waved away the physics of FTL travel.

Sagan told Thorne he was writing a science fiction novel, needed FTL travel, and asked Thorne if he could suggest something that would be reasonable. Thorne agreed to look into it.

After the conference, Thorne spent a while working on it and came up with a wormhole approach and worked out the physics of it.

In addition to giving it to Sagan, Thorne also put it on the Ph 236 (General Relativity) final exam. He didn't tell the students on the exam that it might imply FTL travel. He just set up the conditions and had them work out the physics. Most of his students succeeded in that, but he was a little disappointed that none of them happened to notice that it implied FTL travel.

(I got the above from an unpublished book Thorne was working on in the early '80s. It was a collection of biographies of and interviews with physicists, astronomers, cosmologists, etc., written and conducted by Thorne. He had the draft chapters and the raw interview transcripts in a world readable directory on the physic's departments VAX, where they were widely read by the rest of us with accounts on that machine).

Even for something that has received such a wide coverage as that, what do we actually know for a fact about it? You hear pundits and journalists claiming things for fact, but what are the sources, and what is the actual evidence. The only evidence is "everybody knows", or the U.S. intelligence community being "certain" of his fate. They were "certain" of a lot of things. If something that has received as wide a coverage as that event has had, imagine all the things we'll never hear about.
