> You really can’t let it eat you.

Nah, it doesn't eat at me, only when a story like the one in this thread comes up. :/

The reality is that I was 25 at the time and knew absolutely nothing about the financial industry. I still know next to absolutely nothing, but I was serious about being happy to have learned some things due to playing with BTC. I consider it a fairly inexpensive lesson in how it all works... I'm no good at trading, but to this day I can follow stories about the markets a little better than I would have otherwise. I also learned that trading was fun! It almost gave me an appetite to get more into it, but I realized that at the end of the day I prefer spending my time making functional things than pushing money around.

The other thing that got me to stop was after trying to get into algorithmic trading, which I just couldn't get to work for me, I finally did a basic correlation analysis on prices and realized there is far more noise than signal into those indicators. Obviously there are ways to predict and profit, but I realized it was far too subtle an art for me, and I moved on to other interests.
Most international press is dangerously misinformed about structure of government in Burma. For example, constitution (created by military) gives military control of 25% legislature seats, president, and courts. The military doesn’t answer to any civilian authority. Civilian government can’t reform constitution or appoint critical positions without military approval.

Almost everyone in Burma hates military and understands that civilian government can’t do everything they want.

Yet all the international coverage seems ignorant of these facts, condemning ASSK for things she doesn’t control, like military operations in Rhakine against Rohingya. They don’t understand that the reason she defended military at UN is only outcome of not defending them would be sanctions which just further harms civilian government and people. She had no choice.

People here in Burma are still confused as to motivation for coup, since military already had best of both worlds: ultimate power of law and courts, and no sanctions because of farcical democracy. Why they would risk sanctions to do this is a mystery.
I was there Dec 2019 (for pleasure). Saw some soldiers in the international airport area, that was it.

I learnt about the Rohingya ethnic cleansing before going and how the leader wouldn't publicly condemn military actions. It now seems like she didn't want to ruffle some feathers.

What's the general attitude over there? Did anyone see this coming? I was able to meet a few locals and ate at the same three places for one month. The youth were optimistic. The city felt alive. Multinationals were investing.

Would be sad to see US sanctions followed by the populace getting the shaft, like some North Korea situation.
They would control the most critical high tech manufacturing hub and significantly extend their base of operations.
Given that the technical artistry is the same as it is in numerous other fine watches, it should be relatively easy to calculate how many extra dollars a person is paying to have ‘Rolex’ stamped on the timepiece... and methinks it is a rather hefty markup.

While it is true that Salvatore retired last year, Redis is still FOSS under the BSD license, and it has a new governance team. Redis Labs is in the drivers seat with 3 of the 5 members, including 2 Project Leads. But there are members from Alibaba and AWS https://redis.io/topics/governance

If Redis Labs were to do something stupid with the Redis OSS license, Alibaba and AWS would fork it faster than you can HyperLogLog.

Do they have any greater claim to being mad though? It makes you see it more clearly but I do not think it makes it worse. Besides, for most people they just were not alive when it was possible to claim land and nobody left them any. You could have seen crypto you just didn't, in most cases. I think that makes people more mad but once again I do not think it makes it more unjust, just the opposite.
Crypto is the future. Also imagine not trusting big brain Brendan. Also funny that you think Goog’s decline started in 2015.
> Fundamentally, Google has lost its vision and everything since... ~2015 or so (maybe sooner) has just been about turning the dial up on Google's profits even as their platforms get less appealing. Such a disappointment after being such an awesome company early on.

100% agreed. I've had a lot of admiration for Google's technical prowess over the years, but their products just don't excite me anymore like it used to during Google's hey-days (Gmail, News, Maps or whatever new service they came up with). They've completely flatlined and they just seem... dull nowadays. It's honestly surprising they haven't rediscovered themselves given the amount of talent available at Google.
If you really want one, then Rolex are not that expensive. Get a certified second hand Rolex. But there are so many affordable Swiss watch brands. My father bought me a Certina for 200USD 15 years ago. My girlfriend bought me an automatic Tissot. The cheapest automatic Tissot is around 700USD new and you can get second hand options for 100 USD.

Is Google struggling?

I know they're seemingly phoning it in now when it comes to nearly every product besides search, but if all Google did was search, wouldn't they still be a profitable company?

I really loved the old Google that used their profits to pursue innovation, but they don't have to do that. I think they're being shortsighted, but I don't expect that to bring down the company anytime soon.
The most common for me are Void, Alpine, and Artix.

For most people you could probably sub Devuan for Artix though.

I don't think any leader can make a behemoth into a gazelle. It goes against nature.

If you recall Steve Jobs coming back to Apple - Apple was going to go bankrupt. That was the only reason he was allowed back in - as a hail mary play.

Google, Microsoft, etc, are successful, profitable companies with lots of MBAs earning cushy paycheques, deciding what the new re-designed logos are going to look like. They'll never let anyone who hasn't rotted their brains away for a few decades in. You know, same as politics.
Apologies for the late reply but yes I find a lot of productivity apps are available now that are starting to work in ways that you just can't replicate on a PC. Still early days to be sure. Keyboard input is not easy. Some pages are strange in the Remote shell apps due to font sizes or image scaling etc. But its you can see the potential and just having multiple huge floating screens you can control is enough to work through the rough edges.

Other than what you can do in browsers I recommend you check PC remote terminals like vSpatial or ImmersedVR which give you a VR office experience.

Good Luck (and watch this space ;}

Genuinely curious, for both casual and advanced users, what *major* reasons are there for not using systemd?

I've used systemd for years bug-free
That “larger text” option is the same, it will scale down to a non-display native resolution (except on the default setting). But because the pixels are so small, you notice it less.

So I think we are both aware of what Windows and macOS can do.

And for me it’s clear Windows solution is superior, as it can almost arbitrarily scale the interface to fit any size pixel perfect on any screen.

Having said that, the CCP will do something. I'm not sure if they want to try human-wave attacks with the current generation of soy-boy soldiers, but they could just launch enough rockets to destroy Taipei and Tainan.
I could apply this to Dota 2 as well. I just went with LoL since I play LoL and it's more popular.

So the original team of 5 went with Dota 2 because it has a much better API they could get game data from. They poured the Dota 2 pro games into a neural network to create a build generator.

It couldn't make sense of the input data. Apparently Dota 2 pro players are trolls according to my ex co-worker.

I didn't work on it so I don't really know.

It doesn't affect my method since I'm taking in descriptions of the items, runes and champions and putting together the builds from scratch without looking at gameplay. It needs a couple of tweaks such as stating the average combat length for champions.
Is this same-language, or does it work for translated subtitles?

I have some Korean TV DVDs with Japanese subtitles I was trying to use as a guide for adding in US subtitles that came from a different source. I assumed that aside from commercial break timings (one break in the middle) and start/end gaps they should be the same, but my results automating based on timing clusters didn't work too well. Some subtitles were split into multiple segments, sometimes grunts or ambient noise had subtitles, etc.

I might try this out.

If you become a watchmaker in Switzerland, you'll have to do a 4 years apprenticeship/vocational education and to become a master takes years. Those people are well paid, because the GDP per capita in Switzerland is quite high and the salaries of people in this industry is high.
Yes, a Seiko gives you the same, but a Swiss Certina also gives you the same for a much lower price.
There are over 100 swiss watch brands and you don't have to pick a luxury brand to get a decent mechanical/automatic watch. You won't get all the hand-made stuff or heritage for that price though.
When crypto bubble pops, there will be loads of used GPUs on the market and massive reduction of demand. I think that GPU manufacturers are afraid to scale because of that uncertainty. May be we need GPU futures.
Threema does not have this issue. If it would be free it would be a better choice as it does not need a mobile number. For people in the west the cost is so low but still many refuse because it 'should be free'.
Right. I can't agree with you more about smothering the planet in mostly-unnecessary stuff. I'm truly fed up with the fact that almost every appliance or bit of gear we buy is designed with a short limited life and not meant to be serviced. No wonder the world is awash with e-waste and similar broken/junked stuff. Once, just about every bit of electronics I bought or owned I could fix, now I can't even open up gear without smashing my way inside because it's glued up or snapped shut with one-use-only one-way snap-lock catches, etc. It's a damn disgrace.

Two weeks ago the USB socket on my Netgear modem became intermittent and I literally had to smash my way through the plastic case to get inside to gain access to the circuit board. Unfortunately, in doing so I damaged something else which (I think) has rendered it useless (I'll know for sure when I get a chance to take a microscope to the PWA). The fact remains that I haven't been able change a 20 cent socket and to save time I've had to buy a new device!

It seems to me that green and ecological movements should do more in this area to stop the millions of tons of e-waste—and getting behind Right to Repair movements is a good place to start.
Great. You can share your security footage with your neighbors on Ring, but when I see footage in my neighborhood I always hope local law enforcement is also informed.
As a SW engineer I’m just amazed at how such a large scale physical engineering that’s on the cutting edge of science takes place. Truly some of the brightest minds on Earth must be working on this project to make sure the experiment itself is done properly and developing any new engineering science along the way to build new capabilities. Not to mention ensuring that there’s no fatal engineering mistakes along the way putting theory to practice.
>I've understood it like this : Taiwan is a successful, politically stable liberal democracy. It's existence contradicts the CCP stance that democracy is inherently Western and inconsistent with Chinese culture. [* I have no citation for this

It goes back to Marxism - Xi not only needs to squelch comparisons to Taiwan (original pre-CCP culture, freedom, democracy), but also the US. In other words, Xi needs to be god on earth.

Hence the remarkable CCP spy penetration into all Western countries at the political, educational and business levels. It's so bad that Biden wants to pardon US politicians because the DNC is riddled with CCP influence.

Playstore is a walled garden. And this article is a wolf cry exactly against malware from Playstore. In the end same social engineer techniques employed to trick people to install malware directly (see Windows) can be employed to trick the walled garden gatekeepers to allow malware there.

I would argue that having walled garden is actually worse. Once malware is inside can wreck havoc far greater than the open system of Windows. Sure, you get fewer bad actors inside but those who do manage to get inside will be fully free because of the false security its users feel.

Counterfeiting Stock – Explaining illegal naked shorting and stock manipulation
- ASSK has no power over military operations or Rohingya. Elected civilian government has no legal power over military.

- Only outcome of not defending military at UN would be sanctions or civilian government losing some of the little power they have, which would only harm situation more.

- ASSK does not want genocide or anything like that. She is slandered by ignorant press.
Well, I guess that the fact that China can produce high-end Rolex knockoffs that are all but indistinguishable from the real thing for 5-10% the price gives you one datapoint about what it’s worth. Of course that’s with no design or marketing costs, cheaper labor, and a lot less quality control.
Of course. Because the word servant had all sorts of negative connotations. Nobody wants to be called a servant, and there’s all sorts of judgements to be made about people who call others servants (or even just make implications in that direction). Like in the parent comment I was originally replying to for instance, which could essentially be rephrased to “why would anybody want to have servants? I myself prefer to have servants”. On the surface the comment as it’s written appears to be a criticism of having unreasonable demands. But I’d say it’s just a criticism around phrasing used to project a sense of moral superiority.

Preface: I'm a former chef and cook, in addition to my foray in finech, with a background and a short stint as a private chef while traveling in Europe during the off season: why don't you just hire a private chef?

I'm wondering if their will be a push for an app that functions much like task rabbit model for chefs, wherein you could fill your day with 'gigs' as in 'Breakfasts at the Jones' 8-11am,' 'Lunch and Dinner at the Wang's 1-10pm' kind of format.

California also has relaxed laws on using private residences functioning as kitchens for business (Cottage Food laws, that varies by County) but this format could be done again and not have the pitfalls of other attempts that were easy to take down and could even be done at scale. Some restaurants on Pearl Street Mall in Boulder are just refurbished homes and this model can function with the right incentives.

I personally retired for the last time, with no desire to ever go back at this point, but I would gladly consult to see something like this happen since so many BOH and FOH workers will likely never be able to go back to work as the Industry is completely wrecked in the US.

As you said, you want to go back, and the truth is we cooks masochistically like our role in that model, but where we really all think we thrive in best is utilizing our creative skills in a smaller scale where the entire menu is your own and you can see direct feedback from a smaller crowd/family.

I have moved away from Linux. As much as I really want to use it, I always end up doing ... Linux ... as opposed to any real work.

Just last week, I moved my laptop back to Windows from Ubuntu because it froze up on me at least a couple of times a day (and that is a XPS13 - a system which is supposedly built to run Linux).

I have been using Linux since kernel version 0.99 or something, so its not like I dont know my way around it. I just dont really care which OS I run. It just needs to get out of the way and work for me and not against me. Windows does a good enough job at that.

Salt and fat aren't necessarily unhealthy. Some people are genetically sensitive to sodium for high blood pressure but for most of us it's fine. And people would generally be better off getting more of their calories from fat than simple carbohydrates.

The real issue with a lot of restaurant food is simply huge portion sizes that tempt diners to overeat.
> Static type systems can be beneficial

I don't deny that. The problem is not with the idea, it's with the (usual) implementation, which is that if you don't appease the type-checker it won't let you run your program. I'm perfectly fine with a type checker that only gives me warnings but still allows me to run the code even if it isn't satisfied.
Awesome. We need to equip police and fire departments with tools to catch criminals and enforce the law. It also requires government cooperation so that perpetrators are prosecuted and face actual consequences, but having footage available is way better than expecting best good to randomly chance upon a suspect.
> Its probably an attitude that would be frowned upon by someone that believes in freedom of choice, like we do in USA.

Believing in freedom of choice has never stopped anyone from believing that there are bad choices.
Freedom alone is not democracy; that's just liberalism. Social justice, economic equality and others including political power control from people are important part of democracy.

Absolutely! Also prior to WhatsApp messaging was even more of a walled garden.

The ‘best’ was BBM - I lived in Canada for a year and you pretty much needed a blackberry to message friends because that’s what everyone had.

I had moved back to the U.K. when the iPhone came out, and I originally didn’t want it because a lack of BBM meant it would be more difficult to keep in touch with my Canadian friends. When WhatsApp came out and adoption was super quick I could finally jump ship, because it meant overseas texting for free without BBM.

Of course if blackberry wasn’t greedy and was forward thinking, they could have copied BBM and made it available on other platforms, and if done well it would probably have been a massive success.

So I agree that it’s not accurate to imply that everything was super open prior to WhatsApp - they spotted a gap in the market and wrote the best software to fill it that was available at the time.
