At this point I'm really not sure how you're coming to these conclusions. I support protests and lawful demonstrations. People and journalists aren't being arrested for that. This was stated in the comment I linked, so I'm not sure how you reached the conclusion that I oppose these protests.

What I do oppose are people violating curfews or orders to disperse and falsely claiming that they were arrested for journalistic activity while omitting the fact that non-journalists in the same area were also arrested.

User Guides are not about you, or perhaps they need to be called something else.

A User Guide is something that you do to help other people. Your users in other words.

I dislike writing User Guides, but they're the only way to let other people know how to use your product.

Nothing is 100% safe. If 3 of those locations are compromised the bitcoins would be lost permanently. Also its a very inaccessible way to store bitcoin, and not scalable for all use cases.
Generally agree but even Apple MacBooks stuck at 720p webcam, why? Apple products should be able to pay additional cost for such parts.

Right, and when there is a viable app store that might be possible for desktop environments (the exact reason I brought up steam). Until then, though, desktop apps are just a unanimous negative most of the time (from a "get users to actually use our software" perspective).

edit I am speaking from the experience of trying to build a desktop app. I think people suggesting "Just build a desktop app" have no idea the amount of feedback that gets received to the tune of "Why do I have to download an app". It's staggering.
> No, the banks get underwriting fees as a % of the offer, so they are incented for a higher price as well.

What is the counter balance to this? Obviously banks can value a share at abnormally high prices and take a big fee, but clearly that is not happening.
The lure of creating the philosopher king doesn't go away, does it? A few impressive philosophers have instructed a few impressive monarchs; but the latter didn't necessarily rule that philosophically.

I hate what you describe about YouTube. To me the worst offender is a chap who used to go by 'Stephen the Robot', but I think he changed the channel name, his actual content is excellent, but I have to sit holding the remote, so that I can skip all his repulsive self-reactions and crash-zooms on his face. It's such a shame, he's working on an awesome project, it's really interesting, (open source scratch built pick and place machine) but the delivery seems to be designed for 'tweenagers' on TikTok. (For context, I'm in my 20s, hardly old and grouchy. I actually might not be older than him even, unsure.)

It's also not that uncommon to see people go from Amazon go to Microsoft especially in teams like Azure. There's more difference between teams within the two of them than there is between the two as a whole. Although, people generally go to Microsoft for better work life balance and benefits. Going from Microsoft to Amazon to boomerang back to Microsoft is also quite common.

> You can offer better packages for your higher paid employees.

Wouldn’t the company lose the tax benefits if they fail non discrimination testing because the highly compensated employees (HCEs) received disproportionate benefits?
Again, anti-trust being used because other businesses are hurt - rather than focusing on consumer impact.

They attack the Amazon basics brand. The Amazon brands do well because there is such trash out there that regulators do absolutely NOTHING to stop. For example, battery packs with totaly garbage capacities - no regulatory action is taken to shut these folks down.

"The FTC Act prohibits unfair or deceptive advertising in any medium. That is, advertising must tell the truth and not mislead consumers." - https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/adv...

Amazon notices a trust deficit, and then makes a set of batteries you can be somewhat more sure are accurately described. Now consumer has a choice. They can buy from maybe a trash brand and save a few bucks (and I'm sure folks do) or they can buy from Amazon.

Given folks don't actually trust regulators such as the FTC to actually, you know, do their job, they begin to trust amazon more and more.

Apple is going to benefit from this as well. It's not that there are not better tablets, but you have to trust it won't be a crapware filled thing, and after being disappointed a few times it's just not worth it.

Meanwhile, after not doing their jobs at ALL with respect scams online, these regulatory bodies ARE sure to come down on the brands users apparently trust as regulatory bodies tend to do when being shown up somehow.
Does Starlink provide a mobile phone service?

BTW any internet provider could, they usually offer a SIP phone anyway. If this could be connected to a femto-cell coveting a household, this could solve the problem of using a phone around the house, in the backyard, etc.

Making it accept a SIM card from an existing provider is another problem.

I believe the only place you'd use a POST with Turbolinks is in response to an explicit user action like pressing a button. In this case, if it fails, you'd refresh the root page (which embeds the button) at which point the state of that page would reflect whatever the server has, so it would display the new data or may not even have the button anymore if the initial POST actually did make it to the server.
I’ve felt this way intensely, in a way that became socially crippling. In my case it was caused by a combination of burnout, untreated mental illness, alcoholism and social isolation (each of which compounded the others). I’m not saying all or even any of those are contributing factors for you, but if you feel like they may be it’s definitely worth looking into.

For me, while I wouldn’t say I have the playfulness I did in my youth, it’s a lot closer to where I’d think it should be for my age and personality. Here are some of the things I did:

- accept that I had a drinking problem, detox and take a break, reintroduced with the awareness that I may have to remove it again[1]

- start therapy[2]

- get an ADHD diagnosis and start medication[3]

- make/accept more social plans than I would normally feel comfortable with[4]

- get a new haircut, wardrobe, glasses[5]

- Got a puppy; no footnote here. Honestly this was the best thing that ever happened to me. We walk a lot, which is great for my energy. When I don’t feel like playing, I remember that she needs me to feel up to it. I can’t say whether this is analogous to having a human child. But I can say that having a smol furry who expects me to not just be active but at least kinda fun is very motivating for me. Even in these winter months when all I want is to lay down and binge netflix all the time.

[1]: The jury’s still deliberating. But it’s a lot healthier than it was two years ago.

[2]: I firmly believe everyone would benefit from counseling. Life is hard, a more objective ear is invaluable.

[3]: This utterly changed my life, and I think it’s safe to say it saved my life too.

[4]: I’m still socially anxious and awkward but it made me a lot more comfortable. I even moved away to pursue a romantic relationship. That would have paralyzed me before. Obviously there’s a lot of social restrictions now, but I make due with phone and occasional distanced porch visits.

[5]: It turns out dressing semi-hobo doesn’t just look bad, it makes me feel bad. Nice looking, good fitting clothes and a clean haircut make me feel more comfortable in my own skin.

Longitudinal analysis of loneliness, isolation&falls in older people in England
As long as everyone involved consents and isn't coerced, it sounds ethical and entertaining to me.

I imagine that many of the people who would participate are already taking these things (these are not the people competing professionally today). Perhaps mainstreaming it would incentivize more research into safety and sustainability around artificially pushing humans beyond their current physical limits.

Assuming it's good, why not? Even 720p video from a DSLR will look far better than 4K video from a Logitech Brio. Resolution is almost meaningless when doing video calls. Most people are in environments with poor lighting, so they need bigger sensors and improved lighting long before 4K or even 1080p resolutions.
> A literal 10x price increase is not exactly what I'd call "viable for enthusiasts".

As an "enthusiast" here that's because you should be looking at used gear. You can pick up things like the Mellanox Connectx-2 SFP+ used cards for cheap, like $20-30 USD (local availability is of course a crapshoot though).

If you want/need 10Gbps over cat6, though, then yeah it gets more expensive. But if you're just looking for 10gbps between a couple of systems and can run a cable, SFP+ with some DAC cables are very much within reach.

> With 802.11ax, WiFi has surpassed ethernet for all practical purposes for end users. You can't _rely_ on ax working at full speed, but if you try it and it works, it's a whole lot cheaper and easier than setting up wired internet.

For all practical purposes it hasn't. Remember the airspace itself is shared. That old 802.11ac laptop or phone or whatever
streaming youtube or netflix will murder your theoretical 802.11ax bandwidth. It's not unlike claiming that an 8-port gigabit switch is "8Gbps" (assuming a full-throughput switch, which is common-enough) - that's basically how wifi marketing speeds works. It's the shared available bandwidth, not the per-client bandwidth. If you actually care about bandwidth then 802.11ax is still going to be practically inferior to 1gbps ethernet runs. But for most people as long as the wifi is mostly faster than their internet connection, which is typically far less than 1gbps anyway, then who cares? More significantly latency with wifi still remains unreliable, so anyone trying to game will still also be better served with wired connections. Even if "theoretical peak bandwidth" is lower.

I love Ben's videos however perhaps if he followed the marketing strategy of Mark Rober or Ali Abdaal he would have more than 700k subscribers.

Not that 700k is bad at all, it is just an observation at how many subscribers some of these people can get primarily through name dropping.

However I don't think Ben is all that fussed about chasing every subscriber like Mark and Ali.
> Your 40% is worth $400k based on that initial funding valuation, right?

One quibble. That is typically not how it works, since his shares are likely common stock and investors get preferred stock. In my experience, the range of value for common stock in private firms varies widely, but it is never one to one with preferred stock (the golden rule being, of course, "who has the money makes the rules").

I have seen values ranging from 10% to 30% of the preferred stock price. Now, of course, I only have a few data points, so ymmv, but founders shouldn't delude themselves that their sweat equity is valued the same as preferred stock.

Medo: A modern UHD 4K open source Media editor for Haiku OS in less than 1.44 Mb
Medo is an open source (MIT licensed) video editor for Haiku, which uses OpenGL and GLSL for video effects. The fascinating feature about Medo is that the installer package fits on a floppy disk (its less than 1.44Mb). Medo is a C++17 application, and uses the Actor programming model for many-core CPU utilisation.

The downside is that this makes it really easy for developers to avoid making an actual API. The turbo frames _are_ the API. Great to bootstrap, but miserable if you ever want to implement a native mobile app (or any other client) on top of the same codebase.

Assuming you mean sending some USD from the US to an overseas recipient, it goes a bit like this:

1. Your bank sends a secure message to the overseas bank through the SWIFT network (this is where the SWIFT number is used for routing the message) to the recipient's bank, detailing the transaction.

2. Through the SWIFT standard message format, the overseas bank validates whether the account exists in their bank. Some additional screening is done at this stage to detect fraud, money laundering, etc.

3. Your bank and the overseas bank have a predefined agreement on a correspondent account, i.e. a bank account in the US owned by the overseas bank to receive USD. If everything checks out, your bank wires the money via a domestic system like Fedwire to settle the transaction.

4. The overseas bank confirms that the money was wired to their US account, and then adjusts the recipient's balance accordingly.

Maybe it's an interview of Bezos himself? It's written a lot like from someone's point of view who a) knows the early history b) is familiar with current daily business (like covid) c) is familiar with how different factions inside the company were years ago. If you look at the company from a global perspective but still from the inside, there are only few people around who can write such an interview.

Caesar wrote his books in the third person as well. Bezos seems to me like the kind of guy who'd do that.

Also I'm not too familiar with how Bezos writes, but from the few interviews of him that I've heard, it sounds a lot like him to me. See also this letter... guess the author :). https://twitter.com/LettersOfNote/status/923473337115914240

Which proves nothing about innate traits. That pit bulls have a reputation that makes them prized with people that want to train dogs for aggressiveness (a culturalnrole in which they displaced doberman pinschers in a fairly sudden phase transition despite no change in the underlying innate traits of either breed) is not controversial.

I'm sure the author had a ton of fun achieving this. I must admit to loving this kind of thing despite the lack of utility.

With respect to functional utility though, it's possibly worth pointing out to others that Linux had (has?) an option to compile for MMU-less hardware. This was the basis for uClinux [0]. Though it supported pre-emptive multi-tasking I'm not sure it ever supported 8-bit CPUs.

Then there was LUnix [1] - a unix port for the C64 (written about a decade after the C64 came out). MMU-less, pre-emptive multi-tasking and (somewhat) usable. Not Linux, but still pretty amazing. Someone had even written a Small-C compiler for it [2]. You can watch a demo of it here [3].

People are very clever :)

This statistic puts an end to the debate about COVID death reporting.

Some said that COVID deaths inflated due to federal subsidies to hospitals with COVID patients.

Some said that deaths would have occurred anyway due to the serious medical conditions - co-morbidities - that patients had.

With this statistic, the explanation for the huge annual increase can only be COVID.
If the status quo would work as great as alleged we wouldn't discuss the article as we just do... ;-)

Modern browsers are completely crazy bloat-ware. Bigger by lines of code than most operating systems! Things like the JVM become small and lightweight compared to a modern browser.

And still, it's not a "great application runtime" - as people still not even found out how to use it "properly" as one (as again: that's the point of the article we're discussing).

That people everywhere do irrational stuff all the time is also no prove that anything of that stuff makes any sense at all. Things don't become smart only because there are more people out there doing the same thing. Actually the mass isn't doing the smartes things at all usually. So that's imho a quite bad benchmark for anything anyway. ;-)
It's min/max per row group, so (potentially) huge chunks of the Parquet file don't need to be read from disk if only a subset qualify.

I'd say the FSF has a better reputation than most organisations in this space, and certainly a more established one than Purism does. Here in this thread there are a lot of people criticising them for being "too dogmatic" or for applying their rules too inflexibly, which IMO is proof that they take a firmly principled stance - which is exactly what's needed to validate something like this. A group that's willing to bend would soon end up being meaningless.
Are you still referring to dedicated API routes, or are you talking about annotating your UI to the point where it can serve as the API as well? I remember the latter being the vision behind things like RDFa, but those approaches never took off, for a variety of reasons.
Wouldn’t firing the TCF (or any key staffing decision) require a board vote at this stage? Not to mention potentially being a breach of the NTF’s duty of loyalty to the shareholders if they don’t have a good business reason for firing them?

IANAL so interested to know how folks with more experience have seen this fact pattern play out.
