I am not Australian and have not seen any updates since it was passed, but "forcing companies to build backdoors" is a massive understatement. The government could effectively compel any employee to act as a spy, without their consent. Don't want to play along? Go directly to jail.

> The new law also allows officials to approach specific individuals—such as key employees within a company—with these demands, rather than the institution itself. In practice, they can force the engineer or IT administrator in charge of vetting and pushing out a product's updates to undermine its security. In some situations, the government could even compel the individual or a small group of people to carry this out in secret. Under the Australian law, companies that fail or refuse to comply with these orders will face fines up to about $7.3 million. Individuals who resist could face prison time.

ASCII is a 7-bit character set, though there are a number of different 8-bit extensions of ASCII that are sometimes incorrectly called ASCII.
There’s no reason you couldn’t have the default be 90% of whatever you thought was safe and allow 11% over rated on occasion by explicit user selection. It’d be like packing an extra gallon or two into your gas tank after the dispenser clicks off.
Is there good evidence for quercetin alone? I recall reading a bit about quercetin with other things (I think it was a chemo med at lower dose) as a senolytic but not quercetin alone.

Laptop used to be a form factor (it fits on your lap) while very light, very small laptops, were in the notebook and subnotebook (or ultra portable) category.

P.s. in Italian they are usually referred to as "portatili" (portable) from the 80s portable computers, even though they were not laptops
Probably nothing to stop them running linux on M series chips. I'd be a bit surprised actually - suspect we'll see something like a 32 Core CPU which will go into the higher end machines (maybe 2 in the Mac Pros).

I'm being downvoted for some reason, so here is a paper on a massively parallel linear programming solver that exploits the fact that the problem can be reduced to matrix operations : https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/1063719940891547...

The one that really made it screaming obvious is the description of the Ryzen 5 5600x still somehow recommends the slower 10600k https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/AMD-Ryzen-5-5600X/Rating/4084

And they added some "subjective" metric so even when an AMD CPU wins at every single test, the Intel one can still be ranked higher.

There's a reason they've been banned from most major subreddits. Including /r/Intel.
That was much stronger in the 50s and possibly in the 80s.
That's one way of framing it. The other way of framing it is that individual liberties are more valued than group securities in America. For example the individual liberty to own a firearm is (currently) more valued than the group security of not having firearm related deaths.

Group securities require giving up individual liberties.

Hard to say which way is "better" or "winning". America is divided on which way to move. One side optimizes for life over liberty, the other side optimizes for liberty over life.

You can see it happening right now with covid. One side cares more about preserving lives, the other side cares more about preserving liberties.
"free and fair" is a very vague description depending on your economic and political leanings. You could argue the U.S. is not one, nor has one ever truly existed.

Nevermind that group nonsense. The same phenomena occur on an individual level. People see you as fitting into some position in a social hierarchy or behavior or ability or whatever and confirm their belief whenever you do something that confirms it, while finding excuses when you do something different. "That thing he did turned out surprisingly well. But he's dumb so it must have been a fluke."

If you're only looking at racism or sexism or whatever, you're ignoring the bigger and more insidious social problems that are individual and pervade small groups and families everywhere.

When I first heard about micro-aggressions, I thought, wow, so that's what's been happing. That explains all those subtle insults, unexpected rudeness, quiet exclusions, etc. But I'm not in one of those special "marginalized" groups and being actually marginalized doesn't matter to identitarians because their politics is more important than people's welfare.
Tim Dodd is an amazing and pure soul, bless his heart. His fair, thorough, and well-researched explanations of this topic, and others, including his other recent video on just Starship vs Falcon 9 and Heavy, are real eye-openers.

And, as others here have said, yeah, hindsight is 20/20, given that the SLS will almost certainly be a boondoggle, and barring any major failures on South Padre or something... inconceivable... its utility will likely be obviated before it even launches.

But, even as an avid newspace fan for the past 10+ years, I still have to say, it wasn't terribly obvious Starship would launch on "Elon Time"... or "Elon Time 2.0.", even only two years ago when Elon unveiled "Dear Moon", he hadn't even announced he'd be building Starship out of stainless steel. Yeah, and he builds them like water towers are built, in ring sections, not advanced composites. I shudder to think back even 10 years...

Like, since it's pretty much fully reusable, yes, both stages, it could cost less than a million dollars to launch 150 metric tons to low earth orbit, which is pretty handy, because they're using it to launch a network of thousands of communications satellites in ridiculously low orbits that'll probably decay in only a few years and it's looking like that's actually gonna work really well. Yeah, way better than the one time Motorola tried it.

Oh, and if you wanted to get 150 metric tons to GTO, you just need a single orbital refueling launch. The moon, mars, just a couple more orbital pitstops.

Oh, and it uses a rocket engine design that's never even gotten off the test stand the handful times it was looked into before.

Yeah, hindsight's a... cough

Oh, did I mention there's a global pandemic? And President Trump got voted out of office. And Apple replaced all their Intel chips with the one they have in their iPads and smart phones, and it wound up being way better. Yeah, Intel's in a pretty tough spot, actually. Oh, and try to find as many Pokemon cards as you can, some people have paid their mortgages off that way.

Yeah... Time travel's gonna be hard to explain. Especially since nobody has DVD burners anymore.
I agree, they started with a confederation and ended up with a republic realizing while a confederation was ideal, it would not survive. Now in saying that, we do have to take into account the times.

For example the separation of church and state, they really could not event envision in their time, that the government should have never been involved in the marriage issue in the first place as it is a religious institution. The government has a legal process for a group working as an entity and that is either a corporation or a trust. From the onset families and their legal rights should have been an inherent trust. This would have kept the religious dogma out of the gay marriage argument and left it to the denominations as to whether they want to sanction the ceremony of marriage or not.

Obviously slavery would be another issue, but again I see that as the times, as the people believed that a particular race was less than human. This was corrected via amendments but I don't think a different form of government, at the time, would have reached a more humanitarian conclusion. So we don't really get to ding the republic for it.

The problem I have is that the republic works very well, history is littered with the successes of the republic in offering prosperity to its people. The issue is that the republic by its very nature tends to generally gives way to empires. What we have now is an empire, it, in no way shape or form, resembles the original republic, with the exception of vestiges. so it is irksome to hear people lament the foundation as bad or not sufficient and utilize present day examples to do so. The American republic has been gone for a long time. The railroad barons chipped away at it, citizens united chipped away at it, the move to push more and more to the federal level chipped away at it and much, much more, to the extent that we no longer remotely resemble the foundational republic. The prescription is not to fundamentally change what we where, rather it is to take lessons learned and apply them to getting back to a true republic, with fixes to that original model. That is what the founders did, the studied Rome, they studied Greece and tried to account for the failings that they suffered and what allowed them to slide towards the empire and tyranny.

I am surprised by the strict naming laws in some Northern European countries.

> Parents are limited to choosing children's names from the Personal Names Register, which is a list of about 1800 names for each gender.[18] The Icelandic Naming Committee maintains the list and hears requests for exceptions.

> At present, the Names Act of 1985 requires that all Finnish citizens and residents have at least one and at the most four first names. Persons who do not have a first name are obligated to adopt one when they are entered into the Finnish national population database. Parents of new-born children must name their child and inform the population registry within two months of the child's birth. The name may be chosen freely, but it must not be

> Under the Law on Personal Names,[6] first names are picked from a list of approved names (18,000 female names and 15,000 male names as of 1 January 2016).[7] One can also apply to Ankestyrelsen for approval of new names, e.g. common first names from other countries. Names cannot have surname character, and must follow Danish orthography (e.g. Cammmilla with three m's is not allowed).[8]
Yes, most people on this forum would find that their name is not on the icelandic list (But if lucky, there might be a similar one).

One reason is that they want names to have endings that work well with icelandic grammar (forming genitives and other cases).

The ratings risk assumptions and who rates them. not valuing 'unlikely' tail risk because 'no way people won't pay their mortgages' or the 'no way a virus will have force over 30% of the population functionally un/underemployed with no assistance.'

And who owns the bonds? What happens when pensions, investors are hit?

And who sells the derivatives and CDO 'insurance' and the meta CDO of CDO bets on the debt? My guess would be lots of bank on bank, institution on institution incest.

And presumably they have to keep these assets on book at least for a bit in order to structure the tranches or whatever the credit card version of that is.

Corporations incorrectly allocating resources leads to exactly the same issues as a centrally planned economy doing so.

The issue is, corporations invariably do so.

EDIT: Downstream comments are disputing the assertion that corporations misallocating resources causes issues for everyone. Here is why :

Not really. I'm going to use some vaguely marxian terms here because it's the only framework that applies both to centrally planned economies and market economies, but I won't be using any explicitly marxian theories, correct or not.

So, let's say that a member of the capitalist class (shareholder) sees their profit drop or even go negative as a consequence of the misallocation of the resources.

This reduction in profit without any benefit anywhere else means that the capitalist cannot increase their amount of capital. Assuming a more or less fixed rate of profit otherwise, this decrease in the amount of constant capital means that the amount of variable capital (labour) necessary to produce the same commodity is going to be higher, which means that it will cost more labour to buy and produce.

It will also mean that it is less likely that the capitalist class will increase variable capital, which would increase the monetary price of labour as demand increases, which means that wages are depressed for non-producible items such as land even at the same profit rate.

Finally, it might push the capitalist to reduce their profit rate in order to catch up to the competition, which might in turn push them to reduce their profit rate as they have more of a margin, which can lead to various crises down the line.

In the end, in capitalism, everyone pays for the errors of the shareholders, perhaps even more than the shareholder class themselves.
If you're willing to use Windows, honestly one of the better solutions today is to just run Windows 10 in a VM. It's even feasible to do this for video games with VFIO.
It’s not really awareness though, it is tragedy porn. People like feeling “woke” and everyone is very willing to sell that to them. Just write stories about how something people are doing is ruining something people are worried about. It doesn’t have to be particularly true.

This cheap “awareness” doesn’t help solve problems, it creates conflict between people who like the tragedy stories and people who don’t like them, neither group really having much understanding or ability to think critically about the issues at hand and then... The only thing that gets talked about is the conflict and the taking of sides.

If you take a historical map of the US slave population and overlay that with the concentration of the black population in the Southern US today and then overlay that with a map of median income, avg life expectancy, education, etc. you'll see a very clear connection.

I agree that a more level playing field along income lines would create a more fair and just society, but you're talking about a problem that the free market cannot solve and would lead to an argument for a very different type of economic model. I'm all for it, but it's a tough sell in the US.

Thanks for expressing this, I think most people are scared into silence by the self-righteous scolds among us.

I know Snyder seems to be a respected author, but you could take 18/20 of those tweets, flip them around so they're roughly the same words from the opposing viewpoint, and this would just read like a Qanon-tier screed.

Trump is not a "totalitarian", but the system Americans are living under is trending towards "totalitarian liberalism" - and it's happening at the same speed, in the same direction, regardless of who is in power.

California voting Yes on 22 is the perfect example of this. Ostensible progressive leftist state, rioting for ages for social justice, but totally OK to treat "gig economy" workers like shit and deny them even the lowly status of a proper wageslave just so they can order dinner without having to have a social interaction with someone on a telephone.
Sure, but if you read the comments here you'd think the M1 GPU was state of the art or something.
> I honestly think (for me, at least) the implied causation is the wrong way round here

Your framing assumes that there has to be a clear, unidirectional arrow of causation.

In reality, behaviors and moods are in tight reciprocity, affecting each other simultaneously. For likes of depression (or addiction) that reciprocity can narrow and narrow to the point of only moping around and doing whatever maintains the depression.

Which means avoiding depression maintaining behaviors is one of the multiple things to do in order to prevent it, or prevent a relapse, conversely it will indeed be incredibly hard to treat it with only reducing screen time.

I’m sure I’ll get downvoted too, probably more than you, probably even attracting sympathetic upvotes for your own comment but... I really cannot express how much I don’t care. I’ve booted multiple OSes for learning, for fun, and for software support when the software wasn’t available for my preferred OS. But I use my computer for work (and some web browsing). Other than games, macOS has all the software I could think to need. I don’t like rebooting anyway. I can’t think of a scenario where I would ever need a device with another OS that wouldn’t be supplied by an employer. Some freedoms are sacrosanct (and if it ever comes to pass that macOS absolutely prevents installing unblessed end-user apps which deal only with public and supported APIs, that would be my deal breaker), but some freedoms seem so abstract and theoretical in their impact that I just can’t give them weight beyond a thought exercise. “You can’t install any other OS besides this one we offer that meets all your needs” is just... hardly even a thing I would even give much thought.
Something didn't seem quite right about those hexdumps at first glance; and then I saw the odd numbers in the left and realised it was showing 28 bytes per line instead of the usual 16 or 32. The lack of spaces between bytes also tends to make one want to read the values as BE dords, which they often are not.
