I worked at Macromedia with many people who worked for Elop before he rose to executive heights. All had very nice things to say about him. One speculated that he might even serve as Canada's prime minister one day.

Reading him branded as the worst CEO in the world makes me feel bad for him considering all the nice things I've heard about him. It is easy to throw around insults and labels, but let's remember that the truth can be nuanced and not so simple to explain.

Edit: fixed the political title based on comment below
That may be the case, but as a software dev in the US, you're actually the beneficiary (via your very high salary) of the dog-eat-dog market economics that dominate the US. Whereas in Europe, as a developer you're just expected to be content with a mediocre salary, like everybody else. The only escape out of it (in Europe) seems to be the contracting market for senior people, where the rates are on par with US non-FAANG salaries.
"They have no resemblance to birds at all. Yet they're million times better and faster than any bird."

LMAO

A 6 years old kid can see the fundamental resemblance between a bird and a modern passenger airplane:
The wings
Tail stabilizer
Slender body

Planes are faster bigger

Are they better?

Not necessarily, for example, humming bird can fly in a way that is far beyond any human machine in terms of efficiency and flexibility.

Of course man should not imitate birds, because human flight is fundamentally different activity than bird flying. But to say human aviation did not start by mimicking birds, is like to say Ann was not inspired human brain...
Correlations don't make it wrong to say "I only care about X, not correlated thing Y." Don't try to impress them with stats about cores, because cores can vary enough to make those numbers meaningless in a vacuum. You need to put them in the proper context, which... gives you performance and cost numbers.
Not sure if the term itself restricts it to an accelerating maneuver, but of course you can do the reverse and slow down.
Happily that is precisely what an Option is: the right, but not the obligation, to buy a stock at an agreed upon price.
Descriptive power versus communicative ease
250 sounds nice, compared to 220 retina ppi for macs. If its only constrained by the display that would be good. I will love buying 3080/5950x as my new workstation. hmm
VUI – 202012/01
This is absolutely the key point.

They didn't try to compete on performance and didn't try to compete with Intel - both would have been losing strategies. Instead they competed on cost, power and on the ability to work better with other firms who didn't want to support their own architecture.

The comparison with MIPS I think is most interesting. MIPS could easily have taken the markets that Arm dominated but the strategy wasn't right.
Your idea is better than mine.

> indeed many fields and subfields do not use such closed-access journals

This would maybe make for a good public ranking—showing a list of fields and percentage of open access journals—and hopefully academic in closed fields would adapt quickly to avoid the embarrassment.
I wouldn't say we "suffered with VHS" since VHS actually has higher resolution (it records the full 480/576 vertical lines of broadcast TV, with horizontal resolution similar to VCD), VHS tapes could hold 2-8 hours (vs 74-80 minutes for VCD, not even enough for a standard "feature length" film), and you could record your own VHS tapes (which was the original selling point of home VCRs, not pre-recorded tapes; by the time CD recorders became cheap DVD was already released).
I will probably use Arch too. Only have to choose good displays then :)
> no real feminist

and yet this gets expressed all the time under the feminist banner. Either real feminists have no control over the brand, or it's been hijacked.
This.

The debates in the US sound ridiculous to me.

It's like the US is a first world country full of people from a few centuries ago.
Maybe the media headlines are sensational (as they always are), and it’s unfortunate that it leaked before the papers were officially released.

Wow. Are you really saying that the men who consume porn are equally victimized as actual sex workers, because of an algorithm?

In the sense that algorithms do nudge our behaviour in insidious ways, addicted consumers of porn can be seen as victims of a sort. But, to suggest that the social stigma associated with porn usage is equal, much less anywhere near approaching, or in the same order of magnitude of the social stigma that sex workers face, is just so incredibly wrong.
Inktomi was pretty good then. In fact they powered both Yahoo and Microsoft web search at the time. When they were acquired by Yahoo, they formed the basis of Yahoo search, that was well respected in the search research community for years until Yahoo started to implode.

I get what the author was trying to say, but it's still -- a very limited view. Mostly because of the last bit (better/faster).

Birds are to planes, as humans are to cars. Yet can a car leap over barricades, climb mountains, trees, self-repair, turn on a dime, stop instantly, etc, etc?

A plane cannot maneuver like a bird, take off in crazy weather conditions, land on a dime in a tree, stop almost instantly in flight, and change direction, etc.

I think what you've quoted has a lot of value here, for, what we should expect from an artificial brain, isn't a human brain. This is truth. However, while it may be faster in a specific capacity, but it won't have the same characteristics.

So yes, expecting it to be like a human brain doesn't make sense.

Yet better/faster? I don't think we can compare this, they're too different.

(which is really the quote's point, but I just didn't like the better/faster bit at the end...)
Humans had better stop farting. There's literally no way the aliens will take us seriously if we continue filling up with gas and having to let it out with a comedy sound.
Years years ago I have used FFmpeg to create a video tutorial website. It worked like a charm on my CentOS VPS. I was able to scale videos uploaded by users to different resolutions, cut out frames for video cover, get size, resolution, convert video to different formats supported by various browsers. It was amazing and only solution available. The project was eventually suspended because of various reasons, but working with FFmpeg was amazing experience and still, when working with videos it is a great solution. Surely FFmpeg impact on today's internet is far bigger than anyone of us can assume. It is for video internet, what mp3 was for audio internet.
ffmpeg is great. I've run into more than a few consumer devices that use it for transcoding, which I thought was pretty cool.
True! But Ultima 1-3 (and 4 on the IIgs) was it for me.

> The author's bias about how the women, _who are actually getting monetarily compensated_, are the victims

Being monetarily compensated doesn't prevent being a victim, which is the basis of all labor protection legislation beyond “workers must get paid at least a token amount”.
The topic of sex work is probably one of the last contentious issues in feminism - is it exploitative or is it empowering? Is it just like any other form of work or is the sexual aspect inherently more dehummanising and alientating than normal work?
I spent hours and hours designing tracks in Racing Destruction Set as a kid. Gave me a life-long love of cars and physics too. In some ways it was the great-great-great-grandparent of Kerbal Space Program.
Yeah haha it's not like 1080p is still by far the most common resolution for screens, TVs, projectors that you might need to connect your macbook to.
I moved to a bigger city and now earn nearly 40% more and enough to feed two. That's great, especially when you have to. But it's still far from 100k :)
This has to be at least wrong at the margins -- breastfeeding infants (of which there are many, historically) can't survive by eating once a day.

The idea that pay has anything to do with the value an employee adds to a company is almost always a fiction, except in coop-style arrangements. You get paid as little as it would cost to replace you with a sufficient replacement. Remote work increases the labor pool and lowers that replacement cost for the company.

A company may have decided to go remote, but if they were to immediately cut all salaries to the lower remote-rate, they would lose too many expensive local workers faster than they could hire new cheaper remote workers and productivity would severely disrupted.

Because of this, they're using individuals moving away from HQs as a convenient rate limiter to do it gradually.

If you like Lode Runner, then you owe it to yourself to try N, which I consider to be its spiritual successor. Think Lode Runner but with deliciously smooth platforming physics. It's freeware and was a originally a Flash game from 2005, but has since also been made available (still free) for Win/Mac/Linux, as well as for consoles. Highly recommended. http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/n.html
I wonder how many narcan uses were for the same person as a another.
Definitely frustrating, but I've found it is worth the effort to bypass their router after authenticating.

This can be done by authenticating, then using a managed switch to swap the wall module from the VLAN with the at&t router, to a VLAN with another router spoofing the at&t router's MAC address.

I've been using this approach for years and have found it worth it as I do not trust the provided router. The downside is I have to spend five minutes going through this process every time there is a power outage, luckily there are only a few a year here so not much of an issue.
> That it hollows out the sanctity of this intimate and symbolic act.

See that's the problem. We as a society need to stop putting sex on a pedestal. It's just sex. Pleasure is pleasure, why would anyone not want to be pleasured?

And why is pleasure something that has to be earned? It is very simple to give and receive pleasure, why complicate that?
> My basis for that is that virtually anything sex related, apart from toys, cannot be purchased with credit or debit cards.

Hmm, the 3 adult shops I pass on the way into work beg to differ. You can buy anything from lingerie, to lube (with CBD Oil!), videos, handcuffs, ball gags... You can get any of this stuff online too.

The only place where you might struggle to use Visa cards for sex is on sites that have been busted with illegal content.
Public employees working on municipal internet are not going to be carrying weapons or have the idea that literally everyone they encounter is out to kill them drilled in with every training session.
Yeah, FastCGI is a little closer since it fixes the startup time problem.

It's weird to me that PHP uses FastCGI but Python support for it is really limited. I'm using FastCGI on Dreamhost and it was a pain to get it to work.

https://lobste.rs/s/9o4zsx/back_70s_with_serverless#c_9hxzjs

CGI and FastCGI can also be used with containers, although it appears that almost nobody does it.

I think if "bubblewrap" (user space container tool) starts to be installed on shared hosts via Red Hat, we could hack it.
Why does the author call Palantir morally ruinous?
Literally just used it today to re-sync the audio and video in some movies I recorded where I needed to add a 210ms delay to the audio. There's no better tool that I know of for doing this, even on macOS:

-i "$input" \
-map 0:0 \
-map 1:1 \
-acodec copy \
-vcodec copy \
"$output"
There is a open course on the net, Critical Perspectives of Management by Prof Rolf Strom-Olsen with a segment on Nokia, ‘Rise and Fall of Nokia’.

>Having been in a sector of fintech that many sex workers used, I can say with confidence that the majority of the women within were single moms who simply couldn't or didn't have access to the social net to feed their children and aren't doing it because they want to.

Sounds like the majority of jobs. Although I agree that the lack of social services in the US has reached ridiculous levels.

I pick small ones over large ones like you listed, and make a not too small donation, like $50 or $100.

I feel that this can give a considerable boost to someone's motivation, while it is a small drop in the bucket for established organizations and projects. It will not "go to waste" with larger ones, but it will not feel as personal as a (typically) single maintainer getting donations -- which they do get rarely.

Go through your list of browser or mail client extensions, for example!
>Are they? I can't make it through a whole movie anymore, while I used to hit theaters at least once a week.

It's not theaters, between Netflix and piracy, there are tons of more movies consumed. And whole TV-series, binge watched series by series, each of which amounts to 5+ movies running time...

Canada: Chapman's Ice Cream offers to help store Covid-19 vaccines in freezers
He has several times petitioned for his release, including a motion in 2017 to terminate his contempt sanctions, claiming that his imprisonment violates a federal law that limits to 18 months the amount of time an uncooperative witness can be held.

In his rejection of the motion, Judge Algenon L. Marbley of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio wrote that the law did not apply to Mr. Thompson, because his case concerned “objects of economic value.”

“The utility of Mr. Thompson’s assets as evidence is almost beside the point; it is the economic value of the treasure that the Court seeks,” Judge Marbley wrote. “Mr. Thompson was therefore not merely ordered to testify or provide information.”

Mr. Golden said the case had become “a personality thing between individuals.”
Upvoted but disagree strongly.

My feeling is it will be corrupted, and the only thing worse than multiple dangerous governments is one single dangerous government.

In fact I'd probably rather have every country introduce 2nd amendment rules than accept this.
I don't know about "just as much". Negatives like these are hard to quantify and therefore hard to compare. What the men are paying for on OnlyFans is a pseudo-connection or a fake relationship.
This strikes me as being emotionally, sexually, or romantically manipulative or exploitative.

Of course the men choose to contribute but the incentive structure is for the women to foster a sense of intimacy or connection so they can exploit it for cash. It's a voluntary association, but it doesn't seem like a morally neutral or harmless association to me.

This is not to say that the harm men face from exploitation is greater than the harm that women face - or that women don't also face this phenomenon, but just that it is also a harmful byproduct of the service.

I doubt integrated GPUs will ever reach the performance of discreet GPUs, as you said - thermal budget is the limiting factor. PCIe speeds are increasing, so that's not a big issue.

If anything, I expect some of these co-processors to become new PCIe connected cards. I.e. in addition to GPU you'll have some other *PU with its own cooling.
Last time I had comcast internet, they charged me a rental for a modem I never even received in the first place since I told them I had my own modem from day 1.
If you have known about this company for 10 years and gotten in late your lottery ticket will look like you matched 4 numbers out of 6 with a few extra thousand. But you also took less money over that time so the amount drops.

If you got in before anyone heard of the company it could be a true lottery ticket.

What companies do you know that have been around for 10 years that someone should join today to get the next lottery ticket?

You are assuming that the creator of the OnlyFans site is not under duress in any way. You are also assuming that the creator and maintainer of the site is the same person who is featured on the site. Exploitation of women (and men) can happen even in the most seemingly egalitarian of communities.

Of course. It's practically axiomatic. Which is why it is strange you brought up one particular opinion.
Still to this day one of the more elegant smartphones I've seen.
Why did it take this long? Why would no one else have the courage to address sex work?

OnlyFans reminds me of Zivity from 2008 which was VC-funded and founded by a woman but it didn't take off and has now been forgotten. There are probably lessons to be learned from that history but first you'd have to know that history exists.

> Days go by pretty fast like that

I've found this to be the case with COVID isolation and WFH. Not having any set work hours and nobody really even aware of whether I'm working or not, I'm sleeping a lot more (like 12 hrs/day) and not being very productive the rest of the time. This year has just vanished in a haze of sleeping and not doing much, a week can feel like a day sometimes.
Is this age-related? Or cultural as well?

When I was young, my father, who was in his 60s and retired after a heart attack, would spend a lot of time sitting in a rocker on the porch, doing nothing. I couldn't think of anything worse. Now, I'm in my 50s and find that sitting out on the patio alone and watching birds go by is actually a pretty good way to spend some time.
A meal is tasty and enjoyable, but you will soon need another one.

Fails to account?! She mentioned the fact of non-substitutabiliy several times.
No, it would not be a good time to present evidence. It could be classified. The evidence may need to be locked away for 40 years. Satisfying your demand is not enough reason to expose the means by which evidence has been gathered. At they said in WWII, loose lips sink ships.

Imagine yourself in WWII, demanding evidence of something that had been determined by cracking the Purple or Enigma cipher. No, you don't get to see that evidence. Sorry. You aren't trusted to keep that from the enemy.

Also note: neither Rubio nor Pompeo presented any evidence! Why would you demand evidence from Trump, but not from them?

Rubio has his motives. He has never liked the president. Pompeo is harder to pin down, but may be likewise. Either one could be pushing the increasing anti-Russian sentiment for political gain or worse.

In any case, attribution is difficult. Countries purposely misdirect. This does however have a very Chinese feel.

I think outside the UK Acorn has been obscure, at least before the Archimedes. First time I learned about Acorn in Germany was when they started marketing the Archimedes against the Amiga, and I only learned a few years ago when diving into emulator programming that Acorn had built 6502-based computers before the Archimedes.

AFAIK the BBC micro hasn't been sold outside the UK, or if it was, then it was vastly overshadowed by the Sinclair and Amstrad machines.
Zuckerberg would translate to Sugarhill which somehow fits better than "FATkerberg"
Yes. It would not decrease competition or increase concentration in the markets. There are no significant US based businesses competing with Europeans and Chinese in mobile infrastructure. The market is divided between 4 companies Nokia, Ericsson , Huawei and ZTE.

If Ericsson and Nokia were to merge or Huawei would attempt to buy Nokia or Nokia Networks that would be different. I think EU would agree even to Nokia-Ericsson merger.

That style of quotation makes it seem like I personally find orgasm noises upsetting rather than that I believe others can. Was that how you understood my original comment? If so, I need to improve my style, because the latter not the former.

As for orgasm noises… they are sometimes used as joke content, even outside porn, (is this similar to the way slapstick violence is used as a joke outside horror films? I’m not sure, but feels like an interesting comparison).
