Bezos' wealth absolutely relates to rates of pay and conditions of his workers. If you are working for amazon in an office, you're not the victim. If you like being tired all the time, wearing a daiper at work, and body searches, for minimum wage (yes, $15 is above legal minimum. Do you really think this is good pay?) Then go work in an Amazon fulfilment centre and report back.

Bezos can't spend his money. He'll die before he can realise the value of his money. Gates is giving ALL of his money away. Whats Bezos doing?

I just recently set up a USB drive to use as a time machine backup on my Ubuntu home server. After struggling with your very same question, I ended up formatting it as a macOS Extended partition (HFS). Seems to work well for both OSes.

I'm not sure I understand the retail store charging points.

Very few are going to need charging when doing a shopping run. So why not just charge at home?

Those not having a good over-night or at-work charging on the other hand I do understand. But how many that don't have either of that can and will buy an EV in the first place?
I am not sure this really has to do with callbacks - isn't this more due to the dangers and hassle of allowing a function with 3 arguments to be called with just one?

What is impressive to me is, it still shows there is demand from accountants/investors and offer from authors for artistically pleasing documents.

It dwindled out, but it is similar to corporate websites like SAP which were boring to death and made life in corporate a bane (we should study suicide and boredom-from-boring-documents in corporates), until all layers of management were naturally attracted to software created by little startups, even if it didn’t track time correctly, but it was cuter and nicer and didn’t require IE7.

Boredom-from-documents-and-websites is a key factor for people’s choice of employment...
This is a little out of my knowledge so I will leave my two cents but hopefully someone with a better idea can opine.

Alternatively, if you are doing this to copy files back and forth, there is also the option of using scp.

I would need a citation if I was saying the figures they claim are wrong. I'm saying they provide no detail on how they got those figures, have clear monetary interest, and are only presenting a portion of the people in jail for marijuana charges.

It is by no means opposed by all archaeologists either. It's not a great solution, but it's better than the status quo and is likely to be the best we can get. A lot of opponents are letting perfect be the enemy of good. They are proposing solutions that are never going to be viable, and the current situation is really bad. Right now the A303 tears right through the landscape, and is only a couple of hundred metres away from the stones. It is also a constant bottleneck on a major route, in no small part because so many poeple slow down to look at the stones as they drive past, or even stop on the verge and get out.

Conda is so slow that I resorted to using it for env creation and then just pip install everything. I don't have 10+ minutes to wait for package to be installed, only to be told it can't resolve conflicts. Package version conflict is not such a big deal, just pip install a different version of the offending package!
conspiracy. theories.
what they expected? Stock market is ruled by big investors, funds and corporations, not people betting their life savings on random reddit meme.
Retail investors are not market makers - they're simply pawns of these meme brokers directing them to specific actions, without any understanding of underlying mechanisms: Reddit crowds treated it as another cryptocurrency pump and WSB fed this delusion with vague memes(that look absurd and ironic in perspective, "Buy these stocks to punish greedy Wall Street and get big profits!").
I might be wrong but... I don't think hedge funds are insured against losses like that. They're generally pretty secret about theur strategy and insuring against losses would mean disclosing them and getting the insurers permission to change them, as well as a hefty premium...

You're really only stuck with a glossy laptop display if you insist on buying one from Apple.

Some of the flashier models from the Apple wannabe manufacturers are starting to go glossy or have a glass overlay, especially if they have a touchscreen, but the vast majority of laptop displays are still matte.

E.g. All Thinkpads and Dell XPS models are available with matte displays
> Also, they already have the advantage of real estate. They know that they can add a charging network cheaply in their gas stations than a new player in town building one.

Then why buy up charging networks? Why not just develop their own? Genuine question.
Huh, I wonder if they're going to let Ross Ulbrict get back online. I mean the guy is serving Double Life +40.

Good the last mile, I hope these prisoners find some solace in these opportunities and can channel their time and energy into a skill like this. I'm not sure how many tech firms will take ex-cons, but maybe this changes things as so many tech firms will turn a blind eye to drug related matters now.
I often dream about a laptop with an e-ink display.

There are e-ink displays with colours, and there are e-ink displays with acceptable (to me) refreshrates (around 30hz). I'm not aware of any display that has both, but surely it will come.

Thing is, I don't think anyone will build a laptop with such a display, cause everyone is into selling sexy looking mirrors.
It's sort of reassuring to see this all wrapped up in under a month. We waited over 4 years for the Trump bubbles to burst and at least some are still (physiologically) invested in those.
I lost $500k on GME so far, lessons learned, i guess i’m a bag holder now
Glossy from Apple actually works and is mostly superior. I am using one now and there's very little that bothers me about in terms of reflection. There are other manufacturers making glossy laptop screens and they are mostly terrible.
I've watched meme coins and similar "hivemind" investing happen in the cryptocurrency currency world for years.

When GME hit the fan, I couldn't help but feel how familiar it felt. The cricle was completed when I saw a "if we can drive up the price of GME/AMC with memes, then we can drive up the price of dogecoin -- Buy and HOLD until it reaches $1" appear on near the top of /r/all.

It's not a hivemind mistake. The hivemind seems to create a cycle of individual victims who buy and then once they are invested, they quickly realize how the cycle works and that they need to meme and hype to maintain the price so they can get their investment out.

Sure there are many people who just invest for the meme, but so many fresh people get dragged along who think this is a sure way to make some money.

Then there are also people who have seen it all before and think they can outsmart the mob to make a profit. Many of them do make a profit.

And that's before we even start to consider the people who actively try to stear the hivemind towards new investment (that they have pre-bought)
It's extremely silly to run a web browser on a spaceship UI, but I imagine that they have an entirely different set of bugs to prioritize compared to a desktop web browser release. Most security and privacy issues that browsers constantly try to patch up aren't really there on an isolated touch screen control panel. Unless they hooked it up to the internet, in which case may god help us all.
30+ CIA agents killed because disguised comms sites used Google-able HTML (2018)
If I had a solar array, a Powerwall, and charger, why couldn't I sell the excess charge in my Powerwall to anyone who wanted to drive over, and get a charge?

Why couldn't property owners with big power feeds offer supercharger type services to complement the existing networks?

One home isn't something worth of a network, but AirBnB aggregated them into something disruptive. The same could be done for lone charging stations.
The CIA and other US agencies hosted innocent looking sites (yoga, books) with secret login areas for covert communication. Iran found one of these of sites and used this to uncover ALL of them, probably through a shared piece of HTML. Agents then could be easily discovered by state monitoring of visitors to these sites. Iran shared this with China & other powers and at least 30 agents killed. Internal CIA reports said upwards of 70% of worldwide operations had been compromised.

John Reidy, a CIA contractor repeatedly raised warnings of these flaws before they were discovered by a foreign power but was ignored and fired.

This is a position that can be taken only from a place of comfort. Have you ever thought why the heaven of most religions is basically doing nothing, forever? Because that is the dream life most people imagined when faced with their actual pre-industrial existence. Comfort comes before self-actualization, not the other way around. Comfort is simply, unquestionably, in all cases, better than some mythical "growth" and "community" without comfort.
Possibly not the exact problem here, but it’s a general one I have with citizen journalism: writing up the “scoop” instead of reaching out for comment.
Good IQ people - imagine that!
Was there an active schemer who kick started all this GME stuff? I don't know, and we'll probably never know.

But then, does it matter (for your decisions on participating) whether the source of the hype is purely organic, or if it was helped along by some person? Does it matter how many people helped it along? All those HODL posts, billboards, journalists, etc.

It doesn't really matter if there's an OG evil schemer in there somewhere or if a bunch of people organically / accidentally filled in the role. MLMs perpetuate first and foremost by the actions of regular participants, not the OG schemer, and so do meme stocks. MLMs are / were distributed under the pretense of running your own business and selling products for e.g. skin care. Meme stocks are driven by, well, memes, jokes, politics in this case. It's just a cover story, it doesn't matter.

Up until the crash I've seen zero jokes / memes about selling it all. Every single post I've seen was about holding and buying more. That's not an accident. People who bought into the hype with their money upvote these jokes and not others to bring more people in because they need it to make a profit (or to minimize their loss).

But there were people who legitimately treated this as a joke, right? Of course, just like there were people who legitimately believed in the quality and usefulness of MLM products they sell. Can you tell such people from those who deliberately pump and dump? No. Then, the only role of those people is to add legitimacy to the cover story of the bubble.

My point here is not to blame redditors for this fiasco, it's to hopefully prevent people from jumping into such schemes because they seem organic or funny or whatever. It doesn't matter. The bubble works the same regardless.
Governor Northam of Virginia was recently criticized for having an old year book photo where he either was in blackface or wearing a KKK hood. The photo was from the first year his medical school desegregated and many white students were protesting the inclusion of a single black student. Northam was 28 at the time but refers to it as a youthful indiscretion. He has given no details as to how the photo came to be, or how he has grown past his youth as a racist activist.

He is a Democrat.

Not everyone on the left is taken down because of small “missteps”. For the most part people give a quick non-apology, mutter that their actions were “in a different time”, and completely fail to correct anything.

Three more high ranking VA democrats at this time are embroiled in similar scandals.

Having to live in a society where some people can get away with the worst things, creates an frustration that builds and builds. This leads to a backlash against anyone who isn’t politically connected even if their “crime” is a minor one. It’s a way to draw a line in the sand when you can, after living for decades in utter helplessness.

If we were a fair society, Northam would be forced to give a true accounting of his life, and step down. This reporter on the other hand, would not be fired.

I use ELinks, and with the following in my ~/.elinks/hooks.pl (& ELinks compiled with perl support), HN comment tree indentation looks fine:

sub pre_format_html_hook {
my ($url, $html) = (shift, shift);

$html =~ s|<img src="s.gif" height="1" width="([0-9]{1,3})">|'&nbsp;'x($1/10)|eg;
}

return $html;
}
I agree this is dangerous and wouldn't work in a large scale, but I abhor this attitude of "only the experts can speak". He did it on himself and showed what he did, how do you think things actually get made, by sitting around waiting for experts to show up? How did they become experts?
You can get used to it however and when you go to even a neighbor country like Canada, the staff seems apathetic. I'm not saying they are but it takes an adjustment from the 'high touch' trained Americans.

Day iPhone exploit market list
If you read the threads, everyone always says, “never bet more than you’re 100% willing to lose”. I feel like these people shouldn’t be regretting anything if they followed that advice.
Many reasons - mostly that it makes you incorrectly discount the negatives, incorrectly assert some possibility, neglect some second or third order consequences etc.

Check out what I think is called the depression correctness hypothesis (at least IIRC): clinically depressed people cast more accurate judgements and evaluations.

I want to use the full power of that by taking decision that have the potential to increase my future utility (or the sum of its present value) in the most clear minded way possible, so with as little warm fuzzy feelings as possible
ELI5: I think I got this but just to be sure. Can someone just to make it extra clear to me just in case I miss something. If someone is making money with a stock, some other person is losing money right? Their ain't like some magic magic money making machine or premium added somewhere in the process? Right? If so, what were these people thinking investing. That they were the first to get out?

One thing you could ask is is the average Redditor smart enough to see the consequences or is this really a bunch of teens putting up their savings being hyped by a hype machine?
Hmm, why not just make the palmrest taller.. Jurassic era laptops had 4:3 1024x768 resolutions.

Obviously; I'm living in the first world, so it shouldn't come as a surprise. It's like saying "Why don't you sell everything you have and dedicate your life to helping those that go without food?" And I'm actually one of those few people who do donate to a charity on a monthly basis. Do you do that? I'm doing that because it costs me money, not time, since I do have enough of the former, not the latter. Which brings me back to the original issue: I just don't want to bother with all the overhead of a sign up, waiting for some email confirmation that doesn't arrive because you self host mail and your mails get swallowed by Gmail, etcpp. Just no. Maybe you just don't want bug reports and patches since you also don't have enough time to handle them anyways, but if you do, just try make it frictionless. You don't need to sell your soul to github or anything, but it's still the number one OSS hosting platform of today, so just go with it. At least for the issue tracker, you can still just use it as a mirror otherwise.
Prior to 2003 though, the artworks themselves (shown in OP) do say '10K', like they're cover pages or something.

From then on, they're 'annual report's.

I'm not familiar with US forms, but perhaps it's possible there used to be a vaguer reporting requirement called '10K', and the format had more freedom, but then from 2003 it was just a form to fill out separately to a flashy annual report to investors?
You could mirror, making your project accessible while not risking data loss.
Yah. So, if you're looking to buy something protected by a RoFR, you get to make an offer... And, then you wait a few weeks to see if another party thinks it's worth more than that and takes it instead.

In practice it pushes down both liquidity and price.

It becomes this strange meta-game of having to guess what the likelihood of whether you're buying something. And, you lose out on any materially positive change that manifests in that time window. Indeed, the decision can be made even on the basis of insider information...

I didn’t read their comment that way. Although Homebrew does also exist for Linux, I think the absolute majority use it on macOS.

Personally, being a user of Homebrew on macOS I’ve been thinking about wanting brew to be rewritten in Rust too. My own reason being that I think it would be faster when run, compared to the version they have of it currently which can be quite slow sometimes. And because I like Rust as a language and for its memory safety features. So I’d rather see brew implemented in Rust than in say C or C++, if a compiled language was to be used.
Even if all other arguments against Bitcoin are valid (environment, money laundering, hackers, not backed by anything, all the usual BS ...) the _one_ argument outlined in this video trumps them all.
Having used both, I can tolerate Apple's glass overlay, but I don't prefer it.

But credit where it's due... it is nice to be able to take a damp rag to it, vs. having a mild heart attack any time someone gets their fingers a little too close while pointing at something.
You can lose money that you can afford to lose and still regret it. You've still made a loss, it just means you're not going to starve.

It is their choice, but everyone knows a project not on GH gets less visibility and fewer reports and contributors because of that decision. I know some projects do it to minimize public interaction, they feel raising the barrier improves the quality ratio of issues.

Sure you can create these situations in Rust as well, but it makes that choice very obvious. So instead of being like: Damn, there was a case that I didn't consider at all you usually are like That case I decided against handling before must be handled now.

Of course you could still ignore it then, but the language made make this choice at every point consciously so it is totally your fault if it bites you later.

I e.g. tend to comment on unwraps why they cannot panic, and if they could (because I wanted to follow another strain of thought first, I use except and a message or writw a TODO comment.
Another way to frame this for library developers: adding parameters is a breaking change in javascript, and it should be noted in changelogs as such.

Definitely not like that.
ReadTheDocs.com is largely the de-facto standard for Python projects because it is free to use. Since a lot of developers have experience with it, in production too, it is often used as a host (even though it is sub-par as a web-host and CI service). For a product which seems to have been trademarked in 2019, not having a free-plan or more importantly, one for FOSS projects, means this is at best, a niche option. Additionally, being proprietary and closed source means it will be difficult to integrate into multi-language programs. Doxygen is a good standard, which works across multiple languages, and its reach is augmented by Sphinx with inter-sphinx. In the domain I work (scientific software), very few tools are written in pure C++.

By the way, I hope my comments are not taken as anything other than constructive criticism.
Glossy screens on laptops long predate anything that Apple did.

Here's a group test of glossy screens from March 2007, you know.. before the iPhone was released:

https://www.pcworld.com/article/129979/article.html

Glossy screens became popular for watching DVDs on laptops from the mid-2000s
