Yes there are stupid people out there but it is not the majority, even in poor areas as you are claiming. Let’s say you are even correct that poor people now are too stupid to understand anti vaccination groups are not science based. The solution is not censorship of anti vaccination groups, it is education campaigns to counter this. Education in schools, commercials, websites and social media. Not censorship of bad information.
I am yet to see a good valid reason to use Matrix, Federation and all these new modern 'app's' over

- IRC

- Mumble

- FTP

- http forums

etc

It just seems to be another way to centralise and remove privacy to by allowing a platform to replicate your data in the background

At this rate I cant see a future on mainstream internet
with most goverments in the world going along with Globalism, Anti Male, Anti Privacy , Anti Freedom, Anti Free Speech along with Global Reset 2021 , Global Plandemic lockdown and Agenda 21

We will have to migrate to

- tor

- ipfs

or some off mainstream commications network in the future
( LORA/DIY network)

Yet to see a single matrix client that can match the simple tradational style of mIRC or Hexchat

I am also migrating away from

Linux seems to be heading in two direction

1. Corporations + Cloud + Centralisation + Modernisation
(ubuntu/red hat/etc , censorship, corporation direction, left wing poltical activism injection

and 2. breaking away from Cloud, Centralsiation, censorship, SystemD/dbus/wayland/pulse/etc

At this rate Linux will become two groups

Earnshaw's Theorem
User `fb03` recommended this yesterday on another thread. What a wonderful book! Although it doesn't say anything you didn't already know - to lose weight, eat less - it is really well written, and puts the whole process into perspective. A lovely book for engineers who want to stop being overweight.
> The number may be BS or unscientific

> but a number says you measured it somehow

Okay so it may be BS, but at least it's measured somehow, where somehow may include pulling it entirely out of your ass.

But indeed this is key:

> Companies are driven by numbers and manager bonuses are driven by the numbers their team produces

Those numbers may be bullshit as well, but there's already a cult around them and you demonstrate belonging to the tribe by flinging around numbers just like they do.
Shooting into a moving car is insanely dangerous. The expected outcome is an uncontrolled moving car.
The part you are missing in the B scenario is safety. Let's say one brake light is out. Now what happens if that person doesnt notice and the other one goes out? You could be looking at injury or death under the right circumstances. Then of course if you're saying that the offender is dangerous enough to attack a police officer,then surely they also pose a threat to the public. Getting those threats off the street is more of the A scenario perspective, but nobody said anything about fishing (there has to be reasonable suspicion).

There's always a chance that a person (including a cop) becomes violent. Do we just remove all laws? I don't think so. On a side note, there are plenty of laws which are already not enforced or not consistently applied and should be taken off the books.

> First (and I'm no expert here) I don't believe that (x)nm is the be all end all of cpu performance. Architecture still matters.

The same architecture on a smaller process will use less power and use less silicon (usually making it cheaper: but yields make that equation complicated). A 100mm^2 design using 50W will only be 50mm^2 using only 25W on a smaller node.

Since 300mm wafers are always 70,000 mm^2 in area, you now produce twice as many designs in 50mm^2 instead of 100mm^2.

-------

Now what made Intel get stuck on 14nm+++ is that Intel got really good at increasing 14nm++++'s clock rate. Dennard scaling is dead: a larger process may offer better GHz these days.

But if you can solve the yield issues, the march towards tinier and tinier transistors is a winner. Less power used, less chip-area used, and therefore cheaper and more-efficient chips.
I threw out some numbers to set a baseline of “this can’t go on forever.” I don’t pretend to know when it starts to transition, or the speed of the transition.

The fact that the rate of growth will someday slow means assumptions you make about your 401k may or may not hold if we happen to be at the wrong point on the curve.
I'm an English folk musician and it's perhaps surprising to many people, considering the prevalence of English and our modern music, that we as a country have lost a huge amount of our songs and music over the years. We have however re-entered a folk revival since the 70s and it has combined with the national pastime of peculiar hobbiests having documented a lot of really obscure things.

But anyway, my partner sings one of our oldest documented songs, which I would classify as fairly unknown outside of historical circles and in an older form of English that is quite tricky to decipher: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr2LRpx4Uyk

I learn quite a few tunes and songs from various countries and it's interesting as to which I find immediately feel familiar to me. Scandinavian, French, Belgian, Breton, Quebecois stuff etc is very popular in folk circles here in the UK and I both listen and play a lot of it. Though a lot of us might struggle to sing along you might be surprised at how far some traditional songs travel :D
Yeah I think this article has good advice for something closer to a perfect world, where a company gets a good signal for the employee but frames this as making it the prospective employee's responsibility to give that signal.

But in this existing world, a non-standard resume just makes it harder for anyone to screen quickly.
One thing I would say is that while it might be true that truth eventually finds a away, the lies can do a lot of damage in the meantime, and can in fact be used to prevent the truth from coming out.

For example, take fascist propaganda... the lies are effective, and if left unchecked, can convince people to support fascist leaders, who will then block free speech, preventing the truth from winning out.

This is a form of the paradox of tolerance..
Lol. Actually the creams and butters are the healthy part of Indian food (assuming they are using pure ghee). It is the excessive carbs and vegetable oil fried crap that is the unhealthy part.
I think it’s usually a state issue due to stateless HTTP.

If you don’t care about recovering steps or entering mid step from existing data (routing) it’s still pretty straightforward IMO.
Yea, I and several other people kind of blindly assumed they used 50% wrong after reading.

An iPhone with Apple's Safari browser open in the background transmits only about a tenth of that amount to Apple, according to the complaint.

But, you could be right.

>In a lot of countries the most powerful institution is "family first" (sometimes extending that to ethnic or religious in-group second).

>The (currently) successful countries got that way with a different norm, "same rules for everyone".

Which successful countries are these? As far as I can tell, the richer, more resourceful, established tribes don't follow the same rules as everyone. They might not be as blatantly corrupt as others, or the corruption may be more higher level with more plausible deniability, but "family first" is human nature.
Home-cooked Indian food is much less rich than the stuff you’ll find in restaurants. Cream and butter are much more expensive than rice, lentils, and vegetables.

Is Ketamine advisable to inject into someone who has had deadly force used against them which could lead to stroke?

Did they ask if he had any conditions before grabbing him and instigating the struggle? Did they ignore his explanations while on the ground, and his breathing complaints? It certainly is applicable, the entire point is to find ways for people to survive interactions with the police, not excuse away deaths caused by police intervention.

There are plenty of instances where 911 calls are outright lies or incomplete information is provided. It is up to the responding officers to take the reports with a grain of salt. Again, your focus seems to be to find ways to redirect blame away from the officers who directly contributed to Elijah's death.

XMPP failed - so will, sadly, Matrix. Why? Because it's impossible to make people move from whatever they are using at the moment.

Plus setting up your own federated Matrix is bloody hard, especially if you want it with the key and the identity servers. Running Prosody, and XMPP server is a breeze compared to it.

ICQ vanished when MSN got distributed with Windows (at least in Hungary it did), Whatsapp ate the mobile world in a blink of an eye.

What we really need is a cross platform, sync between your clients, multi-platform, new Pidgin.
Because until it becomes abused to worthlessness it gives you a leg up on those who aren't doing so. That's the cycle of most things involving hiring.

”You don't develop empathy -
some people have it, some
people not so much."

I don't think this is true, for the most part. A counterexample is buddhists who spend years practicing compassion meditation. It seems to work for them. Lots of religious leaders emphasize compassion, and there seems to be a benefit from it. I know people who pray for others, which is a clearly empathetic act, whether or not I believe in the power of prayer.

I don't think that empathy is just a given, as you seem to think. People all over the world, and over vast spans of time have put a lot of effort into developing it.
As I said if it has to be mandated legally through a movement similar to right to repair so be it. The incentive will be "you must follow the law or be sued".
This doesn't get one. It's confusing, but explicit in the ecmascript spec. That form of class definition is called a ClassDeclaration, and they don't take semicolons. I haven't checked, but I think what you've typed here is valid because the parser sees a zero-length expression after the '}'.

The reason it's confusing is because if you modify it very slightly, then the semicolon becomes required:

let Bar = class Foo {
...
};

In that context, precisely the same sequence of characters as you had before is now called a ClassExpression, and the semicolon isn't attached to the class, but instead to the preceding let.

I do find semicolons useful as an indicator at the end of the class expression that there's a let or a const somewhere above, but it's far simpler to just not do that and pretend that language facility doesn't exist unless you really, really need it.
I know history of corporations pretty well, from hundred years war and british and dutch maritime corporation's, thank you. But history is not ethics: what is and what ought to be are two very different things, not to be confused. Explaining how and why something hapenned historically has only tangential relation to how it should happen and how should we view it from an ethical standpoint, and I was talking about the latter, not the former.
> To my eye, the lenses code he ended up writing didn't look all that much prettier or shorter to me. I guess it's more neatly structured and could even be organized its own file?

I would typically shuffle all these lenses into their own file, yes.

It doesn't look shorter in the small example, but applied to a real-world example — given that lenses compose — the savings quickly begin to add up. The result (at least, in my experience) is that `update` functions are much shorter and easier to follow.
By 2020, the "purpose of a corporation", both in the general sense of "what are corporations for?" and the specific sense (e.g. "what is Intel for?") has become fairly unclear.

Maybe it actually is in the interests of <some-group> that Intel runs off on tangents. How would we establish that? Well, we'd have to have some understanding of what the purpose of the corporation is. I don't claim to have any special insight into that, I'm just pointing out that claiming that its purpose is maximising shareholder revenue is historically revisionist and inaccurate.
Another phrase that describes that VC behavior is "herd mindset."

Loved watching the VC implosions over funding "green tech" and "social media" startups.

During "green tech" I remember thinking, "it'll take 20 years just to invent the science for this field, let alone productize it." Yup. Love driving by the Solyndra buildings, now an office for Seagate.

I suspect it is exactly that simple. It's just what we're used to. However I do have a lot of sympathy with the argument (as here) that one shouldn't use an error recovery mechanism for stylistic effect. Automatic semicolon insertion is for fixing mistakes.
The paradox is that you can exchange ideas freely until someone uses your openness to new ideas to argue against the free exchange of ideas; whereas people who don’t believe in the free exchange of ideas will not allow you to advocate for the free exchange of ideas because they don’t believe in the free exchange if ideas and the free exchange of ideas is one of the ideas they prohibit.
By your response I don’t think I was clear; there is nothing wrong with looking for technical solution - far from it.

The magical thinking is assuming we will find them on our desired timeline, or at all. Technologist (and I'm guilty here too) often like to thing of the technology steering but often it's policy work.
As an Android tik tok user, this sounds like bs. I've never seen or heard of any of these things from others.
> The purpose of a corporation... to maximize returns for its investors.

That's a common misunderstanding.

"In nearly all legal jurisdictions, disinterested and informed directors have the discretion to act in what they believe to be the interest of the business corporate entity, even if this differs from maximizing profits for present shareholders. Usually maximizing shareholder value is not a legal obligation, but the product of the pressure that activist shareholders, stock-based compensation schemes and financial markets impose on corporate directors."

When one doesn't have control over the repositories used in build and service machines since they are locked down nor have control over what goes into docker images (only secured images allowed and good luck trying to get your custom tools in), one will use the stuff that is already present.

My second rage inducing grievance is bad cleanability. All the places dirt, scuz, grime fill up. Nooks, crannies, crevices, shelves, dials, mounts.

My Vitamix blender, mixer, hot iron, instapot, sawzall, portable fans and heaters, the pre-USB-C Mac power bricks... All piss me off on the regular.

The least cleanable product I've ever owned was a Samsung fridge. iFixit would give it a -2/10 rating. I can only conclude its designers and product manager had never seen a fridge before. Or thoroughly hated all fridge-kind and were exacting revenge as part of some enduring blood feud.

Matrix isn't an IETF spec, and nor was XMPP until 2011 - 13 years after XMPP/Jabber was created. Matrix is 6 years old.

Meanwhile, https://matrix.org/foundation is effectively its own standards body, and once Matrix is more mature I hope it'll end up being ratified by IETF or similar too.

In terms of "XMPP not being adequately improved" - XMPP is a very different proposition to Matrix. Matrix is all about replicating conversation history around the place. XMPP is message passing and pubsub.

How the Sweet Potato Crossed the Pacific Way Before the Europeans Did
Hardly anyone makes 5K displays - I have a pair of HP Z27q monitors made in late 2015 that are fantastic, but I had to get them used off eBay because HP and Dell both discontinued their 5K line (Dell did replace it with an 8K, but that was way out of my budget).

Part of the reason for 5K’s low popularity was its limited compatibility: they required 2xDP1.2 connections in MST mode. Apple’s single-cable 5K and 6K monitors both depend on Thunderbolt’s support for 2x DP streams to work. I’m not aware of them being PC-compatible monitors at native resolution yet.

I love 5K - but given a bandwidth boost I’d prefer 5K @ 120Hz instead of 8K @ 60Hz.
