>Companies can have negative goodwill on their balance sheet, especially if there are questions about the quality of the fundamental business or management team

That's not what goodwill is. Goodwill is the difference between book value and purchase price of assets to make the numbers work. It's nothing to do with the quality of the business or management team.
Do you have a source for that? I find it very hard to believe, since the United States has by far the largest immigrant population in the world at 50,661,149.

Three years isn't that long for CPU performance gains anymore, but even if it was, it isn't the emulation that gets faster, it's the hardware. Contemporary ARM machines emulating x64 would still be slower than contemporary x64 machines natively executing x64.

You're also going to be in a bind if Apple decides they don't care about the long tail and stops supporting emulation before all of your plugins have been converted (if they ever are).
Not with .NET 5, though. But yeah. I may give it another shot when the tools update.
Tucker Carlson Has a List of More Than 25 Dead People Who Voted for Joe Biden
I had a miraculous growth spurt around 18 and went from 5'6 to about 5'10, putting me happily within the average range.

What barnacled is saying is absolutely true, and unless you've spent time as a single man of below average height, you really just won't understand.

The difference in attention and respect that a few inches make is pretty astounding. I'd imagine it's pretty similar to the stories I hear of people shedding hundreds of pounds and being treated as a completely different person. Once again, unless you've been on both sides of the equation, it's unlikely you'll be able to grasp how much physical traits like height and weight affect how people treat you.

This is true. React/Vue ecosystems are more fragmented with tooling. Angular has one definitive tool chain. It makes it easier for Angular developers to jump between projects. But it also makes it faster, as Angular can optimise for speed with ahead-of-time compilation and stricter templates (also see some comments regarding this on this page).
ECC also depends on good RNG for computing signatures. RSA needs it only at key creation time.
Here's some stuff the author of the Amazon Kindle "Topaz" DRM format had to say about the effort to reverse-engineer the format:

I think it's interesting, in this case, that the author would have liked the work they did to be patented so that it could be discussed publicly without fear of compromising trade secrets.
Yes, because the US is still one of the best places to move to, if opportunity is what you seek. I can compare, as I was a resident of 6 countries.
>as they have an entrypoint too.

I meant that (as I've heard) you cannot write big app using "top level style" only/mostly

It probably isnt going to reduce "the boiler plate" that people complain about
Of course it does, but does it outperform a compatible pc laptop is the question.
Yup, exactly. Low yields increase the duration of equities. This also means that prices become more random (because who's to judge what will Google ads sales look like in 20 years? or what will the iDevice of the 2050 look like? with low enough yields things like these become more and more important).
Could've been written in a 30–40 line shell script, heh.
So after reading the github issues it seems the maintainer stopped in 2016 and since then no one continued the effort.
There was a period of time where the laptops were not updated for almost 5 years and the price didnt change. No one remembers the past

Someone at Google gave me a gmail invite many years before it was public and that was the start, for me, of using their services.

I find paid for Google services much better. Google WorkGroups/GSuite provides CloudSearch. Buying books and movies is easy and avoids having everything in one Amazon account. It is easy enough to control how much information they collect.

I would like it if Twitter and other services I use offered paid accounts with some privacy guarantees and no advertising.
An exit tax? There is no such thing. Are you talking about the $2300 processing fee? You're paying for the paperwork and interviews. You're not going to be a citizen anymore so it seems fair to require you to pay for the time and attention of the US government to process your request.
In my Drive all of the Google Documents have a dash listed in the size column.
It incentivizes the website to match you with people you are not actually compatible with, so that you keep going on dates to find someone you actually like. (Maybe not repeatedly, since you might stop using the website, but at least the first few times)

My understanding of this feature is that it's to encourage beginners to write code that does something without first having to learn about namespaces and the entry point concept. I expect most commercial apps and open-source projects will continue to use namespaces and an entry point method in their code.
Agreed -- I should have gone with "roughly half" or "almost half". As I wrote last night, I incorrectly recalled that n/p is often below 1 -- if I had thought for a moment about high-Z nuclei, the error would have been obvious.

NodeJS has had various libraries to mock dependencies for a long time. So for me, I've always seen it as an extra layer on top of something that was already possible.
>The project explicitly mentions many examples of sharing through federation and it seems to me they’re explicitly advocating for illegal sharing of music.

They're explicitly against that in their docs:

>If you are uploading content purchased from other platforms or stores, you should upload it in a private library

>As a rule of thumb, only use public and local libraries for content for which you own the copyright or for content you know you can share with a wider audience.

They also noted that they have made changes to funkwhale out of copyright concerns:

>Managing the library at instance was cumbersome and dangerous: sharing an instance library over federation would quickly pose copyright issues, as well as opening public instances. It also made it impossible to only share a subset of the music.

Regardless of whether 16GB is enough or not, I'm always wary of the first release of any Apple hardware or operating system and would rather wait for a hardware revision or point release.

I moved to Switzerland from Russia, and currently live here in Geneva. I also lived in other European countries. No big deal, compared to the US (where I used to live for some time, too, but couldn't get a good path to immigrate without losing my independence as a consultant). In most European countries, you can get a citizenship in 5 years, less in some cases (if you are e.g. a student in France). Switzerland is an exception, it requires 10 years now.

Not really. I mean, she's sympathetic to the fact that I want them, sure. But who really wants servers in a corner on the living room, cluttering and making noise.

It's a hobby maintaining them, but I could easily turn off vm's, turn on other vm's with some wait time. It would be cool to have them and swap quickly, but I could still do without them.

I tried buying a used 1u server and put it under the sofa so it wouldn't be seen, but the sound was insane. Quickly got turned off by me since it was just too much when watching tv.

Now we have a house and have space to put them away but that wasn't true for a long time.
Do use DI, it's great. It helps with structuring into entity/model/service/controller and treats DI providers as a global resource. But don't require configuration and instantiate lazily as a class member like a sane framework instead of having to pass it to constructors.
Exactly. Most often this is covered by the fact that the restaurant or bar is playing satellite or other radio which bears the broadcast permissions. And, the obvious—most people aren't horrible selfish goblins.

There's a definite difference between providing atmosphere in a restaurant, and providing the content as some sort of production, or providing others with broadcast-quality copies from a single master without permission of the artist.
>Even having to make the decision to go tables first or code first is a burden

I'm curious - why?
Video encoding is generally done on CPUs because they can run more complicated video encoding algorithms with multiple passes. This generally results in smaller video files with the same quality. As you increase the compute insensitivity of the video encoder you get diminishing returns. 30% lower bitrate might need 10x as much CPU time. That tweet says more about the type of encoder and chosen encoder settings than anything about the hardware.

Imagine going on a hike and climbing an exponential slope like 2^x. You go up to 2^4 and then go down again and repeat this three times so you have hiked 12km (43) in total. Then there is a athlete who is going up to 2^8. He says he has hiked 8km and you laugh at him because of how sweaty he is despite having walked a shorter distance than you. In reality 32^4 (48) is nowhere near 2^8 (256). The athlete put in a lot more effort than you.
It's true that Youtube Music is a replacement / rebranding for Google Music, but the "better interface" is certainly open for debate.

A very strange thing I found is that, when you migrate your data from GPM to YTM, Google seems to "forget" all of its algorithmically curated data based on likes and play history. It's taking me a long time to "train" YTM back to where GPM was before the migration.

All of this is really disruptive to users though, and it's why I have taken to self-hosting the music I really care about via Jellyfin.

If in fact it is viable, then it's a good idea to work on it. Seems like a big "if". Regardless, it's a different argument to the nonsensical one gp was making.
I live in Ohio. ADHD meds are not that difficult to get. There’s some frustrating paperwork but that’s literally it. Any doctor can prescribe stimulant medication.

Bipolar medication on the other hand, many of my bipolar friends in Europe have difficulty getting proper medication, much less proper treatment. In the US, the only issue I had was finding a psychiatrist and therapist who was available.

The problem is cost. If I had ended up getting sent to inpatient treatment (nearly happened), the bill would have been huge.

A substantial part of the article rests on this premise, and it ain't gonna happen, because if it did, someone would use it all in order to get ahead of everyone else. Sorry abt that, welcome back with a new suggestion (some kind of quota system maybe).
There's a short sci-fi story (whose name escapes me, but is mentioned in Cory Doctorow's Information Doesn't Want to be Free) in which the human race is given matter duplicators that can perfectly copy an item, including the duplicators themselves. It's basically a more fully-explored version of the "what if I can copy a car" thought, in which I think the conclusion is that creativity would flourish because less effort is put into making many of the same item. It's quite a far-reaching hypothetical, but it has strong parallels with digital rights issues.
> The current elites don't have the ability to suppress billions of people who were raised on freedom as the central principle of their existence.

That sounds like a problem that could be solved through military automation. (!)
Not really. Right now Apple Silicon would be translating most code and therefore be slower and possibly have worse battery life. By the time that isn't true anymore, the option of buying Intel from Apple will be gone and your choices will be ARM from Apple or a PC with Intel/AMD.

The x64 options from Apple are also uncompetitive with existing PCs already because they're using Intel processors when AMD's are faster.
I guess that there are a lot of fringe channels on Bitchute that are banned or restricted on Youtube or Facebook Video.

But Youtube doesn't only ban conspiracists and hate speech. They also will restrict content that violates their community standards such as explicit instructions on slaughtering chickens on a farm, or how to field-dress a deer when hunting.

Even the Rob the Ranger channel has had videos taken down for inappropriately explicit content, when showing lions mating for example.

Youtube throws a wide net, and thus rather unfairly censors innocent content. Bitchute, peertube, etc. provide alternative ways to get that content online while you're waiting patiently for your appeal to go through.

And yeah, there's some content that the monitors at Youtube consider objectionable and will never be allowed, and maybe should never be allowed -- snuff films, child porn, terrorism how-to training guides, stuff like that. But I think Bitchute also takes down such content.
Yes, that's how it's mostly used today. But here are some dictionary definitions.

Going off of the dot net core 5 release thread, I assume it’s because of misunderstanding or lack of familiarity with the platform. There was a very confused top level comment that seemed to be complaining about DI and dependency drilling down several layers. That’s just not using DI at all. In general DI is a great pattern that encourages lose coupling and testability, so I also don’t get the complaint.
After logging into a Pi-Hole admin console, there are options to disable functionality permanently, or temporarily for 10 seconds, 30 seconds, or 5 minutes. It's rare that I need to disable it compared to browser-based adblocks.

There is nothing low ceremony in .Net.

I recently ran through the entire ecosystem thinking that there must be something akin to Sinatra (micro web framework) in .Net. Nope. Every single thing is built on top of ASP .net.

I did find a WIP library where they are trying to go for a low ceremony framework https://github.com/featherhttp/framework, but even that is built on top of ASP .net

For me the worst bit about .Net is their treatment of F#. IMO, it is one of the most practical and usable functional languages out there. But none of the official docs have anything on F# at all.
Here is an example doc; see if you can find any code example for F#.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/tutorials/razor...

Its always C#. And I have 0 interest in that kitchen sink language.

Between ASP.Net and C# being the entire world for .Net, I have really not much interest in using it for anything. There are plentiful of interesting languages and ecosystems that I can use for my small time projects.
This isn't my experience. Songs I uploaded are not playable without a subscription when the screen is off.
Yes, it looks like the M1 was designed mostly for the MacBook Air. The specs are a perfect fit and it makes a lot of sense, as the Air is their most popular laptop. Having the perfect Air - and the new one is truly impressive - will make for a lot of Mac sales. Also, they also put it in the bottom end MB Pro and Mini. But indeed with the next variant of Apple Silicon, the higher end variations, and other devices are probably going to be supported.
> cuts out ASCAP and RIAA

The sad thing for me, is that even if something like that were to function, and no matter how well, people would find another reason the artists don't deserve payment.

So as it stands, organizations like that are how artists get paid at all.

And not as any hard defence of the RIAA in all aspects, but it's not like they don't do anything. They did help set the standards for effective vinyl mastering and playback...

What a horrible comment, and a largely false one.

There's no record of Jobs being anti-vax (your comment is already the fifth Google search result for "Steve Jobs anti-vax", and the top four are nothing to do with him being anti-vax.

As for "eschewed almost all forms of modern medicine": completely false. He delayed surgery for his cancer - which was of a form that was known to be slow-growing and not especially lethal - for just 9 months, then decided to have conventional surgery. This is not "eschew[ing] almost all forms of modern medicine". It's just delaying for a relatively short period.

He later spoke of his regret about this delay to his biographer, so others would be warned against doing the same thing [1].

Even still, he lived for another 8 years after the diagnosis and was in good health for most of it.

Some experts dispute that his approach likely caused his death, and even suggest it might have extended his life [2].

In .NET, the usual convention is that you make required things constructor arguments, so that there's no room for confusion.

Personally, I quite like that quite a bit compared to platforms and frameworks where the convention seems instead to be, "RTFM or die (at run time)."

It seems to be based on the assumption that the only cost involved is electricity and ignores the cost of materials. Even if everything is recycled you end up paying for entropy somewhere. This society would end up in a death spiral.
