Looking for an article shared on innovation, but cant find it
The highlights of the essay were:

- The writer argues that no innovation other than polio vaccine was adopted instantly. There were always naysayers and people who loved old ways of doing things, who would look down upon the innovation

- There was example of TV vs radio in 1927. Radio jockeys (or radio show hosts) mocked TV by saying that who has the time to watch something while you cant do anything when some show is on (paraphrasing). Atleast on radio, you can do other things while listening to radio

- The author shows numerous examples to demonstrate the same, saying progress happens slowly because there is a group which opposes it as it makes things too easy. (he showed how the older generation thinks the current generation is lazy and not as hard working as before.)

Please help if someone saved it. Thanks a lot
If you had actually read this article, you would see that Mr. Smith admitted he was guilty in legal documents under penalty of perjury. Is that enough due process for you?

In fact, this article is mostly focused on how the optics -a high profile (in fact, the wealthiest) African-American man, donates large sums of money to charity, etc.- seem to have concerned the prosecutors enough to accept a non-pros rather than risking trial, if they could get another billionaire's scalp in the bargain as well (said other billionaire did essentially the same thing- Smith claims it was all Brockman's idea, no doubt Brockman will claim it was all Smith's idea).
The receipt wasn't old. It was for shopping done after they asked me for proof.
This is a systemic problem with tax enforcement in the US in recent years, caused in part by reduced funding for the IRS. Wealthy people can afford expensive legal defenses, which makes it more expensive for the IRS to pursue these cases, so they focus instead on easy to win cases against low income people.

>According to data released by the IRS last week, millionaires in 2018 were about 80% less likely to be audited than they were in 2011.

Audits of the rich continue to plunge while those of the poor hold steady, and the two audit rates are converging. Last year, the top 1% of taxpayers by income were audited at a rate of 1.56%. EITC recipients, who typically have annual income under $20,000, were audited at 1.41%. [1]

Their main product will be the stock, whose ownership will be marketed as a way to punish and send a message to the Wall Street. There's massive demand for a "hurt the establishment" product.
Yeah, generally criminal prosecution is reserved for the really egregious cases, such as complete failure to file or failure to claim large amounts of income for substantial time periods.

Free software encourages sharing, social responsibility, and independence. It also encourages learning.

Furthermore, I doubt Google offers Classroom out of direct profit, but rather to implant dependence in Google Suite, especially Google Drive, Docs, Forms, etc.

> Why, after all, do some proprietary software developers offer gratis copies(1) of their nonfree programs to schools? Because they want to use the schools to implant dependence on their products, like tobacco companies distributing gratis cigarettes to school children(2).

> With pain in my heart I just installed MS Office on my son's laptop because he needs it for school (free on a license from school fortunately). I thought it was stupid because LibreOffice. He thought it was stupid because Google Docs, which his primary school used.

In that case, proprietary software may be "better" because it's been subsidized by tech giants in order to implant dependence later– schools seed society. So we should play the long game and use what benefits society in the long-term.

> I can't agree more with stallman. It pisses me off to no end that I was forced to learn autodesk in school, only to graduate and realizing nobody uses it in the real world. So why did my school pay to teach software nobody uses? Might as well used FreeCAD to teach the concepts.

> Autodesk is most certainly used by a huge variety of businesses for a multitude of purposes. Is it the only solution? No. But the school also likely got the software at a steep discount or free, exposing you, as a student, to CAD software in general. What tools you use following that are up to you, but the school did its job in teaching you a general skill that can be applied in a variety of other programs at will.
> Using terminfo or ncurses requires an extra dependency with a clunky interface.

Are there any linux distros for any platform that aren't shipping terminfo? I could see some embedded systems cutting it down for small storage solutions. But I don't think it's unfair to assume that terminfo is installed. ncurses is more complex so I won't disagree with that one, but tput isn't part of ncurses.

Clunkiness is an opinion, I see needing to look up what "\x1b[7m" means as being clunky compared to "tput rev".

> Using tput requires spawning a process, which gets slow if you have to do it repeatedly.

If you're pretty printing text for a human to read then I don't think the couple extra ms it will take to spawn a handful of tput processes is going to be an actual performance concern. If you're logging data that's another thing, but this was specifically about CLI programs.

> can be done in any language, and is going to work for at least 99.9% of the users out there.
> I haven't found a solution, other than hard-coding the ANSI escape code set, that I'm happy with.

This is most likely true and I don't disagree that my stated use case is in the 0.01%. I was going to refute the any language comment with libraries based on terminfo, but all the ones I ran across in 30 seconds just hard code the ANSI escape sequences. Since it will likely work 99.9% of the time, it is "easy" in a way to hard code them. So I understand why it is being done that way and why you would also prefer to hard code them. But there is a standard interface to use, it just may not be perfect.

This may be something where we are technically stuck between a rock and a hard place. We have a good resource database of technical information on how to format text. But there isn't a significant reason to put in the effort to use it.

This comment doesn't strike me as especially controversial so much as annoying and preachy, ignoring the facts around his point of view already being shared. Aggressively drawing lines in the sand on principles without context is meaningless. Pre-empting a comment with "this will be controversial... lambaste me if you disagree" is just asking for an unnecessary fight.

It doesn't matter what you think on the case. Presumed innocent until proven guilty is a good paradigm for courts, but you're just some guy, who is not obligated to hold an opinion on this case at all. It's perfectly fine to say "I don't know and I don't think I've heard enough to judge one way or the other", or, if that's your take, not say anything at all.

Supporting an opinion of innocence without evidence of innocence is equally as dumb as supporting a side of guilt without evidence of guilt.
GameStop had YEARS to adapt themselves to the new gaming situation, but they instead chose to go the way of the strip-mall and follow the example of BlockBuster Video.

When did Steam get started? The middle-naughts? That was the time for GameStop to act. It's too late now. Even if they have the money, do they have the leadership to pull this off? Maybe they'll try, but it will be an uphill fight, even with the Chewy founder on the board.

I expect the execs will find some way to parachute out and that there will be no transformation of GameStop.
I expect a lot of time being wasted in `sqrt`, which is probably similar in the two languages.

I typically keep a Windows VM running for the main purpose of using my brokers very powerful trading desktop application. While it is very useful and can do all sorts of calculations & graphing, it is kind of slow and the UI is a little cumbersome. The number of clicks to add a stock to a watchlist is very high, etc. In comparison, it takes 1 button to add a stock to mop [1] and I can keep it in a 'dropdown' terminal window controlled by a keyboard shortcut.

Unless you are a HF trader, you probably only need the stock price within a few minutes unless you are about to place a trade. (And typically all these terminal stock tickers are doing is scraping these sites anyway so the data is about the same.) Therefore, during the day I can watch stocks in the comfort of my terminal using mop [1] (or this if this has more features and is as easy to use), and if anything strikes my eye I can then go to my stock trading terminal and watch things more precisely.

I also do have a custom search engine that can open any stock ticker to finviz.com but I'd rather not have to have yet another account on some random website that either has distracting ads and/or pushes me to pay for more features.

There is a very large UX vs features trade off when it comes to anything stock related so it makes sense to use multiple tools.

>Even which doctor someone visited is confidential data one ideally would not preserve when not needed anymore.

Indeed, for example "John Smith went to see a HIV specialist on Monday" is protected information and would be a HIPAA violation if leaked. Its much simpler to throw it in a relational database and only let the HIV specialist and staff see the appointment.
Season 6 is the end, although there are rumblings of a movie. It would be difficult to handle the time-skip between the 6th and 7 book, IMO.

I don't deny that Amazon are capable of good customer service. But the site is full of fake products and fake reviews. Returning a product is a breeze but I'd really rather not have to be returning them in the first place. And Amazon knows about the problems. A few times I've reported receiving an offer for a gift voucher in return for a positive review of an item I bought and they've taken zero action on it.
In 2011-2012 I woke up nearly every morning before work with a panic attack or severe anxiety for several months at a time. A combination of therapy, quitting my job, and exercise helped me a ton.

Therapy: The focus was on techniques from cognitive behavior therapy.

Job: Don't do this if it doesn't make sense for you. I crunched the numbers and found I could last 2 years on my savings without much struggle (I was young, single, and debt free, this was not as much as it sounds as my apartment was cheap). I got another job immediately, though.

Exercise: I found that being healthier reduced my general anxiety and depression symptoms right off the bat. But running, for me, is also incredibly relaxing as it is "mindless". 30-60 minutes of "move a leg, move a leg, breathe, move a leg, move a leg, breathe". Whatever anxiety I left work with disappears after a run. I've maintained a pretty consistent (except for last year, and a couple periods with injuries) exercise routine since discovering this.

For me, creating that clean break at the end of the workday did wonders for my general anxiety but also for my sleep (and poor sleep itself exacerbates anxiety and depression). I was going to bed thinking about technical problems or other work issues (frustrations with project directions, with poor management decisions, etc.), and consequently slept poorly. Letting go of work with my after work runs meant my evenings were mine again, and my sleep significantly improved. Being fitter also improves sleep, at least for me. I kind of let myself go last year, but started exercising again in December. I have been falling asleep faster and sleeping more soundly than any time in 2020.
The national security issue is surprising... I’m curious what it was. Vista is really more of a large tech conglomerate so they’re in lots of business lines.
> Why are people so myopic in their blame for police, when its politicians who are ultimately responsible for creating the drug war, mass incarceration, and police militarization?

I fully agree that the issue goes deeper than police, but still: it was a conscious choice that led to George Floyd's death. It was and is a conscious choice of a police officer to conduct racial profiling.

Politicians must be held responsible, and yes that includes the current Presidency, but that does not absolve individual actors at the bottom of the ladder.
I see this as a cynical mass-media emphasis on an individual tax case, while a multi-national corporate tax-evasion party continues larger than ever.

As a US citizen with some decades behind me, I can say that the US has lost balance with taxes badly. On the one hand there are "illegal" laborers with no working benefits and little protection, paying who-knows-what for tax; secondly, in the 90s, international money transfer by corporations ran rampant for tax evasion. The Clinton's became super-powers on Wall Street for turning a blind eye to it, and later the Ms. of the family became essentially the official enabler of this with the US State Department Foriegn Aid office ($8 billion a year slush fund, on top of dollar-based commerce tax evasion). Saavy multi-national corporations pay little to no tax here, and it is widely documented.

Meanwhile, a 20-something engineer at a six-figure salary can tell you how much of that they get to keep.

I abandoned the show after season 4. The fourth season was disappointing and sounds like the fifth might be a let down as well. The first 3 seasons were absolutely fantastic.
Sounds good - and looks interesting.
I have two wishes/requests for my use:

- Clear size limits for photo/audio/video content in your hosted solution. And clarify if/how they are backed up. Do I need an additional backup, or can Haven be my backup?

- Different visitor groups. I basically have some videos I only want certain visitors to see. A handful of levels would be fine, I don't need fine-grained control over everything. Maybe this is already possible?
Lol why does it matter?

Think about this deeply - Does the person make the college or the college make the person?

Is it correlation? Is it causation?

Why?
Thanks for that. I’ve mentally added it to my list of useful man pages not related to a specific command (`man ascii` and `man hier`). I see the `manpages` package provides a few more manuals describing computing concepts in Section 7, e.g., `cgroups`, `charsets`.

I was mad at this season for going back to earth. It felt like a huge step back from the last season.

Then I read some wiki pages about the books and I think I see what they're doimg. This season seems to be the set up for some really big stuff.

I'm really excited for the next season. Hopefully there's only a one year wait.
I am stadia subscriber and I can say that I have fallen in love with the platform. I used to play games more often and don't own a gaming PC or console, nor did I want to purchase one. Performance has been stellar thus far.

I have serious reservations about headlines like this, but perhaps I'm being pedantic without realizing.

My concern is that a particular mathematical function can be expressed in many different ways using Python and using C++. And practically speaking, it's impossible to be sure that you've created the fastest-possible implementation of that function in either language.

And even then some implementations' performances are dependent on the compiler, supporting libraries, and underlying processor architecture.

So AFAIK a headline like this leaves out way too many details to be generally true. Am I missing something?
It's a little more nuanced. Apple doesn't just throw away the PMs and tell eng leaders "You just have to do that work". Their culture has baked in the whole "DRI" concept where a single individual is directly responsible for all aspects of the product, and has corresponding decision-making responsibility and accountability for its success or failure. In typical companies, when eng and PM disagree, the decision is often escalated up the management chain, to someone even less involved and clued in. With the "DRI" model, any conflict between eng and product needs is purely in the mind of one person, and gets resolved right there.

The tough part about doing this is when you hire engineers, you need to also interview for good product sense and have more emphasis on soft skills. Not easy to find.
My suggestion: add a "circles of trust" feature, where you categorize your users into different levels like: acquaintance, co-worker, friend, family, special friends. Each post would have a simple bullseye icon to select how far in to the circle of trust you must be to see the post.

Your source quotes De Mauro as well :)

I guess it very much depends on whether you consider writers, academics, and in general literate people, or the majority of the populace. In the former case, it's true that Italian was used across the peninsula.
I've always wondered about capacitors for bulk storage in cars. What happens in an accident? What happens when that capacity is bent/dented/broken? A Li battery will catch fire, the speed of that fire limited by the speed of the various chemical reactions. But a capacitor is an electrical device. The charge would move so much more quickly. Would this be more explosion than fire?

You should read Matt Levine, he covers all these questions in depth. The answer to your question is that the board can hold the meeting on Twitter and pass the issuance of new shares that way if they wish.

The problem is shareholders suing for securities fraud. That the people who bought at the top are now shareholders. The company has a fiduciary duty to them. If they issue new shares and sell them, that lowers the price. Even if everyone agrees that the price doesn't make sense and issuing new shares is actually good for the company (the price will drop less), the company actively did something the shareholders probably weren't giving fair warning about.

It's the hard sci-fi equivalent of magical realism. Everything is "accurate" except for this one alien element.
I work in logistics consulting - it’s pretty common to receive orderline data that is a few hundred thousand rows and excel is great at analysing it (eg to build a material flow).

Excel for this is significantly faster and more flexible than any other tool I’ve used.

Also transport data and models can often use many columns. Google Docs limit is actually the active cells used so this then reduces the row limit further.

If we receive data that is a few million rows on bigger formats, we will still use excel, just with PowerQuery / PowerPivot and using measures which works pretty well up to 10 million records or so.

Bigger than that and we will use PowerBI.
Yeah. That's a key thing. I think it's the same reason why Babylon 5 has really held up.
