Facebook provides a lot of value to a lot of people: many of us find their products useful and enjoyable.

Facebook is operated the same way and other countries as their home country, they don't employ many people anywhere, because the products they offer are far more efficient than the products they are replacing, and don't need many people to operate.

In terms of taxes, if Facebook were avoiding taxes why wouldn't France have updated their rules already? Facebook has been operating there for over a decade. Unless you are claiming that Facebook is violating French tax law?

It's not clear to me what you think Facebook should do differently. It's sort of sounds to me like you think they should have put government ministers or their relatives on payroll to win favor, but you can't mean that? They should have hired a lot of French workers to do jobs that could instead be automated?
It depends on the material. If they are flexible, and deform easily, a lot of energy would be converted into structural damage, I would presume.

I see, indeed the next collision will supply a lot of external momentum.
Yeah, the R community owes a lot of it's stability to Uwe Ligges, and his (sometimes annoying) insistence on CRAN package quality.

... which begs the question: was Stalinism ever really a serious threat global capitalism? For me, part of the answer comes from looking into the reasons for the split between the Stalinists and Trotskyites, and how successful the US was in economically isolating the USSR and its allies.
In my opinion, the problem with technology that can help the blind see is the lack of a profit incentive, which means you can only buy from a few established players and no innovation is encouraged, while prices remain astronomical. As it stands, I already pay a lot more for products I need, especially since I don’t have any government assistance. It’s what I like to call the “blind tax“. not everyone can afford to pay it. As such, it’s better to wait for general consumer devices with accessibility features like the iPhone, which is far more affordable than a braille note taker, for example. The potential market that could afford something like this, is pretty small.

I hope technology like this eventually becomes available for those of us living in developing countries.
The astroturfing in this thread is INSANE!!! Awesome. Inspiring.
IPFS is already doing something like that.
My favourite has always been to steal the password hash of the user from the lockscreen using a bash bunny, im still amazed that it actually works.
Of course, that goes without saying.
I like this idea; especially from the point of view of future visitors, having a link that directs somewhere relevant is much more helpful than the “this issue is now closed” dead end.
You can, but Pluto is (I would argue) a better notebook than Jupyter. Regardless, the latency experienced with Julia applies equally whether you use Pluto, Jupyter, or any other front-end.
FCC fairness doctrine required the news to be “honest, equitable, and balanced”
You absolutely can use regular jupyter notebooks for julia! Pluto has some advantages, like being stored as a normal julia file. The julia startup time issues affect both.
An Investor's Framework for Thinking About Cybersecurity
"The fairness doctrine of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), introduced in 1949, was a policy that required the holders of broadcast licenses to both present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was honest, equitable, and balanced.

The FCC eliminated the policy in 1987."

>>The latest EIP-1559 proposal (tl;dr ETH gets burned in every transaction) makes their stash an even larger percentage of the overall ETH distribution

That assumes they don't spend their ETH on fees, which doesn't make realistic assumptions about the makeup of this group.

>>Which is even more egregious when you learn that proof-of-stake rewards those with the most money (read: the decision makers).

PoS is no worse than PoW in this respect. Both PoW and PoS reward validators in proportion to their capital assets. In the case of PoW, mining ASICs, and in the case of PoS, ETH.

In any case, the fact that larger miners/stakers make more is neither surprising nor a cause for concern. It's the rate of return on capital being higher for larger investors that would be concerning, as that has the effect of concentrating wealth.

There is less of an economies of scale effect in staking than in proof-of-work generation, with smaller validators having a ROI on their capital assets that is closer to that of larger validators in PoS than in PoW.

So PoS should have a weaker tendency toward growing wealth inequality than PoW.
While I do feel that conservatives pull out the persecution complex... using that as the entire basis for dismissing arguments seems disingenuous.

The problem for <i>feminist</i> outlets is that we have to believe their word that they are being prosecuted.

>tech companies aren't the corporates. The tech companies follow this policy because otherwise their employees walk out.

We at $bigname law firm aren't corporate, it's just if we hire poc our employees will walk out. -someone before the civil rights era.

I have the argument that the policy implemented are inherently biased against conservative groups. For example, a policy about misgendering would disproportionately affect conservatives because they feel that sex is an immutable characteristic.
Yeah treat tourists as cattle they're going to love it...

It seems COVID is the great excuse to let all the Orwellian bs loose.

They just have to mandate turning of the Like Count (and other half baked signaling). Things will revert to the old internet.
For clarification, I take a daily electrolyte tablet with vit. C, magnesium, calcium, potassium and sodium when I fast. Generally, you want to take in less than 40 calories to stay in a proper water fast and I don’t think Gatorade fits the bill. Unless you’re doing a Fast Mimicking Diet where you’re allowed to eat up to 700 calories (I think). My longest was 5-day water fast (a few times). I found that Day 5 is better than Day 4. What days do you think are the worst in a 2-week fast?
I have not do it myself, but I watch someone doing it. Due diligence, Good judgment and knowing how to provision costs are some important keys, but I will say that experience is half of what you need. The first business you buy will be crappy because you will need to learn so many no self evident things, so you better start the with one objective in mind: what do I need to learn?
Unless you are just slow cooking all the time, getting a multicooker is probably a better investment. Those can usually slow cook just fine, but also cook rice or pressure cook if you need something faster.
Usain Bolt can be called objectively slow. He is just the fastest man. But is it useful to call him that?
How about when Steve Ballmer said something along the lines of

Pretty sure that is hostile towards open source? Linux being one of the flagship projects of open source.

I showed an airline clerk that one of their systems were insecure (VIP lounge thingy). I got access by playing around with a QR code generator, and the way I showed that it was insecure was to talk him through the process of getting in.

I almost ended up in a cell. Until the boss came. I could see directly that he was my tribe. The hacker kind. I talked him through it, after which he gave the others a stern talking to, shook my hand and bought me lunch.

He said they were a bit shaky because apparently people were getting into the checked in area with the same technique. Up until very recently you got in to "secure places" by presenting any qr code that was in the valid format.

"Does this look valid? Well, yes. Let's not bother actually validating it".
Wait what? How do you come to that conclusion?
But the GGP says

An artificial cornea probably solves a lot of problem with rejections, but it is somewhat like filing the cavities in the teeth with whatever paste they are using.

>> an unauthorised, non-employee individual was allegedly living within a secure part of the O'Hare airport terminal

No, it doesn't depend on intepretation. There is absolutely no way you could interpret that sentence as meaning "he used a stolen badge to get into areas not open to the public". He may or may not have accessed additional areas, but the article certainly does not claim he did. We know he accessed the "secure" arrivals area, and the article strongly hints that that's where he lived. Whether he also accessed other areas is possible, but it's not claimed in the article.
I guess I'm not seeing the difference between the secure enclave in a phone and the secure chip in a Yubikey in regards to threat models.
>and in denying the space to other classes of satellites.

Is this actually an issue? The earth has a surface area of 500M km^2 so if want 0.5km between each satellite you can fit 500M satellites at one orbit level. A few thousand spacex satellites is a drop in the bucket.
This is indeed the way companies treat us, just don't forget that they work to devalue those things much more than you work to increase their value.

And another thing, you are not free to terminate the arrangement because you need money to live, the company is indeed free to terminate it.
It's a wonderful co-writer of fiction, for one. Maybe the better authors wouldn't need it, but as for everyone else -- take a look at https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/generic-pawn-t..., and compare the first couple of story posts to the last few.

One of the ways in which people get GPT-3 wrong is, they give it a badly worded order and get disappointed when the output is poor.

It doesn't work with orders. It takes a lot of practice to work out what it does well with. It always imitates the input, and it's great at matching style -- and it knows good writing as well as bad, but it can't ever write any better than the person using it. If you want to write a good story with it, you need to already be a good writer.

But it's wonderful at busting writer's block, and at writing differently than the person using it.
Value is an interesting question,

If I didn’t have access to Google during my scientific research in the country, I know my progress would have been much slower.

In an alternative universe, it would be interesting if the Internet was Balkanized and only the US had access to tools like Google scholar. How much would that affect the rate of research?
I think it is because each model from OpenAi was public until Microsoft became an investor.
Some commenters are conflating "separation by content type" with "separation by personal bias."

However, I think this idea exists already. The Financial Times, for example.
The very concept of a backing currency has become obsolete. Most money is not 'printed' directly by Central banks, it is instead printed by regular banks, who have been given the right to lend money they do not have, up to some limit. This would not be automatically changed by pegging the dollar to BTC or gold or anything else. As long as banks are allowed to lend value they do not own, nothing significant would change.
US taking their we have jurisdiction over everything to a whole new level
This would only be possible if you make the fiber Balkanized, because we know that popular services happen and if you follow the logic there will be natural monopolies that form.
The person who perceives the non-existent person during the events is hallucinating. They are not acting rationally. If you watched them have a conversation with thin air you would call them crazy and generally untrustworthy. But the person who's mind creates the narrative afterwards does not hallucinate, they act rationally at the time and only later use the story to cope with post-traumatic stress. Note that these perceived people are generally helpful, as opposed to hallucinated people who are generally not.

People remember their guardian angel helping them climb out of a collapsed building. You don't see such people ignore firefighters to continue their conversation with the angel. That would be crazy.
I can somewhat understand closing issues, but locking?! That's crazy I always understood looking to be about stopping unhealthy discussions etc. not to prevent bu reports.

My main gripe with stale bots is that some have incredibly short timelimits attached to them. We were arguing about the expectations from users on maintainers to fix their issues immediately and I was strongly arguing that users can expect oss maintainers who are not compensated for their work to just jump.

But there is also the other side to it, if I report a bug and the maintainer gets to it and ask for some more information (sometime quite extensive) to close the bug because I didn't reply within a week. I also have a live outside of reporting bugs.

There's nothing unusual about this. Obviously you don't have to physically be in a country to commit a crime in that country.

If I'm a German citizen residing in France hacking UK hospitals, the UK very obviously would want brought to justice, which both France and Germany would happily agree to in this case, I'd imagine.
I credit a deeper connection to religion with enabling me to thrive over the past few months (though I'd be fine anyway I think.)

In my case I connected with Judaism.

Prayer is your avenue for pouring your heart out to G-d though I'm working on that, doesn't come naturally. On the flip side, I don't think we should confuse the "other" part of our inner monologue as G-d speaking back to us.
They've been using wifi/cellphone data to track tourists' flow for at least a couple of years.

What seems new is the control tower thingie (Orwellian af) and the tracking of the tourists' origin.

I somehow doubt that they do all of that without ever storing sensitive data/personal identifiers. Anyhow, I suspect some italian journalist is gonna send some FOIAs soon (:
JavaScript's JIT is a tracing JIT, so it can compile code in the background while the interpreter/less optimized compiled code is actually running. In Julia, the compiler runs first, and then the compiled code is run. This will probably eventually change as Julia's compiler improves, but regardless, it's important to note this distinction.
I am not sure by what criteria you can say these are billion year old living organisms.

If you meant they have been around that long, sure, they have, but a stromatolite is not a living organism by most (if not all?) definitions. It is a layered sedimentary formation. It is about as much an organism as an ant heap without ants is an organism.

And I'm pretty sure that none of the individual organisms that create stromatolites are even close to a 100 years old, never mind a billion years old.
Oh yes! Read this one in college :)
As I stated, I'm not in favor of political repression, but Stalinism was an ideology that led directly to tens of millions of murders, so I'm inclined to take it seriously as a threat to basic human rights.
Here`s Why Mental Health Will Be a Key Player in the Future of Work
According to various studies and reports, mental health will be critical for the future of work.
Teuta Reci explains how mental health can help boost employee performance and explores how mental well-being is crucial for leaders, too.
Stay tuned until the end where she offers a few tips on how employers can instill mental health into the company culture.
The majority of "fake news" are factual news described from a partial point of view and with a political spin.

Even fact checkers are not immune to this and brand other news as true or false not based on facts but based on the political spin they favour.

Fake news is a vastly overstated problem.
Thanks to internet, we now have a wider breadth of political news and opinions and it's easy to label everything-but-your-side as fake news.

There are a few patently false lies on the internet which are taken as examples of fake news - but they have very few supporters.
Creating laws are a few magnitudes easier than undoing them. This idea you have of "let the world burn so we can fix it quicker" is not realistic. The modern legal and political systems on Earth simply don't work this way.

Or maybe body builders don't include the subset of the population that has the claimed hormone problem.
It's a tool like every other. Can be used in a good or bad way.

I also use the stale bot, but with many labels excluded. If an issue has a proper label, it will stay open forever. If it's just a question or support request, it will be closed after 2 months.

This prevents me from reviewing too many irrelevant and outdated issues, where the reporter moved on a long time ago.

That's certainly an accurate description of the cause. But I don't think that it's a valid excuse: not supporting immutability well is fine, pretending that you do when actually you don't is not.

The kotlin defense to this surely is that immutability happily exists in val constructor args (with the usual exception: not transitive through references), but that's purely contextual and a difference that is very hard to represent at usage site (e.g. they look exactly the same in the intellij "javadoc" view). If for some reason bean-style methods had to be represented through var/val syntax, I think that it would have been much better if read-only calculated getters were represented by a var without set(), leaving val to cases where you're guaranteed to get the same when referenced twice (value set once in constructor or some lazyness shenanigans).
Isn't this the strong law of small numbers? They're likely to be reused often because they're so small.
You are right, multiple desktop environments are not an issue -- unless you are toolkit author; the different corner cases in different Wayland compositors can be issue, but only for toolkit authors. We are talking about such a layer in the stack, where Apple or Microsoft won't even let you play. Anyone, who uses the multiple DEs as an excuse is firmly put into doesn't know what he is talking about box.

Multiple package managers are not an issue either. In this day and age, you should be using Flatpak. That would also allow you to target very specific ABIs in a cross-distribution way, thus removing the fragmentation excuse.
In the Netherlands, where I am, it's a requirement of companies over a certain size to have a "works council", which is something like, but not quite, a union. It's made up of employees and they are legally empowered to be a go-between between employees and the company if required.

This year, for example, the council members where I work have been very busy ensuring that company plans for layoffs were as fair to employees as it was possible to be, by doing things like ensuring that if someone could be moved to another role they were, that the voluntary layoff system was suitable, and so forth.

There are also unions which are cross-company and were involved to a lesser degree in this process, providing advice and specialist support, consulting with members, and so on.
This is kinda unexpected comment on hackernews. :)
Do you mean fully managed instances? Yes.

It hasn't been my first priority because there is already a good number of companies offering that for Mastodon, Matrix and XMPP - but I'd certainly want to get to this point as well.
That XOR Trick
The VT standard is roughly to the application layer what RS232 is to the physical layer: open, easy to implement, and damn near ubiquitous. It makes a nice Schelling point for when you want to throw up a rudimentary UI.

Example: I once worked for a robotics firm that built its own custom batteries. The battery engineers wanted an easy way to monitor battery health and status. So they added code to the firmware to make the tiny microcontroller that monitored and controlled the battery to periodically spit out screenfuls of health information in VT standard. Then, all they had to do was attach a laptop to the battery over serial and start up Windows HyperTerminal, and they had a full (text mode) status display.

This could not be done so easily without a terminal standard that's nearly universally recognized.
Personally, I'd sell what you have (there's plenty of dead/sick A1000s looking for donor parts), and put the money towards a working A500 (if you still want an OCS Amiga).

The A1000 is a lovely museum piece (I have one also), but for actual use, an A500 is much more accessible and expandable.
Because you want it to be cross-platform? Just because it's a hobby project doesn't mean you don't give a shit about the user experience. I mean it's not like you have to recreate it from the ground up to make your webapp work in safari, it'll mostly be small tweaks.
