Actually that Virgin is keeping on with this unethical practices. There are posts popping up almost weekly in various VPNs' forum and it always about their speed are so low (dial up/DSL speed) or they reached the timeout. And Virgin don't support IPv6 (it look like they are starting to support IPv6 but they plan to impose 20Mbps cap on IPv6 connection) and IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel will 99% to fail to connect or stuck in the loop until timeout.
Socialism creates another bunch of perverse incentives. If you let a central system manage everyone's funds without competing against dozens of other parallel systems, the management's incentive would be to appropriate as much of the funds as possible as management expenses, as long as they won't be called out and fired/jailed.

In the current climate, they would create numerous equity and social justice committees, making sure that everyone gets a personalized pat on the back and 10% of the population will get a small bonus, while 50% of the funds will be spent on the friends of the management sitting in the committees. Anyone trying to call out the corruption will be immediately called racist/sexist by the media, and the economic state of an Average Joe will continue declining at even faster pace.
Years ago I worked in retail as a night stocker. When I was hired, I was hired part time. Most other new employees were as well for the reason mentioned in this comment.

Eventually, the company underwent a large merger with two other regional retail chains. After this, they decided to go back to the grandfathered full time employees outside management and gave them an ultimatum: be dropped down to part time or take a small severance package and leave. Well, most decided they would take the severance. I decided since I was finally starting my software career, working some part time contracts, that I would take the opportunity to demand and wage, reduced hours, and control of my schedule. It worked at the time, probably because of their inability to hire and retain employees, albeit the raise was pathetic. Eventually however, they started shifting more and more responsibilities on us and the work was taking much longer because the newest hires we're not very good. I started spending more time there and often wouldn't go home till mid morning. I decided I didn't need it and just quit on the spot. A few months later, the company ended up filing for bankruptcy.

I technically have 3 jobs, two unrelated "full-time" SE roles, and 1 mom&pop store where I handle all but day-to-day operations (handled by the gf).

To be cold bloody honest, unless you are SE for a serie-A start-up a 40h weeks is probably 20h work, 20h bs. If you were SE for a serie-A start-up, a 40h week would probably be 80h-paid-20h anyway.

There's way too little credit given in open source in general, and I'm glad to see people fight back again (it was more customary to fight back before 2010).
Yeah I need to read that prior to the Apple TV series launching!
Yes, but how do you draw the line in a way that prevents one bad actor to claim they are in your latter safe bucket of soft-infringement?

Without any stringent way of codifying it, there will only be inconsistent enforcement, and there will be people who manage to slip through the cracks.

Uber has an UberEats already, maybe someone could think UberCheats are cheat codes or deals for UberEats? There is definitely room for confusion...

It took them approx. 4,881 hours from launch to land approx. 127,770,000 miles away. Is it safe to say that the average speed of the mission can be calculated as 436 miles/hour?
And I might be the only idiot here, but I tried to run stockfish from source and it was not an instant process. In addition, there isn't really a front end, you essentially end up with a CLI to input moves.

And for those who say, hey you, there are prebuilt binaries, just download them! Check out this message [1]

"
The binaries at the top of the table are fastest, but may not support all CPUs. If you don't know which CPU you have, you can go down the list and pick the first binary that does not crash.
"

Yeah okay, a pragmatic set of instructions that can't fail...

From this I think we could see why a product built on top of stockfish might make sense, even if the linked product might not do as such.

> which I guess makes sense if you think about what counted for a road in the 1910s.

Speaking of, there's a good book (although I admit I've barely started) called "American Road" by Pete Davies which draws a vivid picture of what roads were like and the politics involved in even deciding whether government should be involved in road building.

Its primary goal is describing a military motor train that crossed the country in 1919 (and may well have been a key opportunity that kept Eisenhower from leaving the military...history has some fascinating turning points).
NASA also requires 10-100x more money & time to do so. Both just have very different ways of working. Both work and there are pro's and con's to either way!
Also, if they can't evej get this meeting stuff working. How on earth is their email and any other of their communication secure?
OK. But what about the Intel Macs they sold to millions of people, with the claim that they had hardware security that instead turned out to be a liability? Why should anyone believe the M1 Macs won't end up the same way? That seems pretty relevant to me. Do they take this seriously, or are they just posturing?

I'm having a difficult time understanding why the entire article should be dismissed due to your disagreement with the quoted statement.

First, I don't find the quoted statement to be false: (1) Wind turbines/various solar methods have numerous problems beyond that; as do all methods of providing power. (2) Both would be better at providing energy the way we consume it if we had a cheap, reliable method to store large amounts of energy[0].

I don't work in energy, but I follow enough of it to know that these statements are reliable. There are companies looking into various, exotic, methods for storing large amounts of generated electricity so that the "we don't control the fuel" problem of many renewable options is a non-issue. Not all renewables have this problem, hydro can be consistent/reliable, provide large amounts of energy and is cheap. All of these problems have technology solutions waiting to be discovered/applied. It's hard to find anyone who will complain about hydro-electric plant[2] -- electric bills go down and there's less smoke in the air. The same thing is started here with wind/solar. Complainers stop when they actually read their bill. "Oh, it doesn't cost more? ... oh,... well... ~noises in political~"

Was it that the author indicated that the Green Energy Blamers "have a point"? See, that's a nice psychological trick. I suspect you are a big supporter of renewable/environmental politics. I suspect his goal with that statement was to make a point to the blamers. Aside from the first sentence, pointing out an obvious, well-known fact about renewables than any "Green Blamer" has been screaming -- forever -- and baking in a solution[0]. And he's not advocating getting rid of anything/building up the "expensive/easy to turn on/off" technologies.

[0] What you produce has to be used or stored. That's the case with every utility -- water/gas -- things just move, and can get out of hand, a lot faster I gather.

[1] And yes, energy storage on a multi-day scale is science-fiction, AFAIK, presently. This is a hard problem.

[2] Assuming it's designed taking into account whatever new "evil" thing hydro does to the environment that I'm not yet aware of. :)
Yeah that makes sense, thanks.
Many commenters are missing that the issue is not that an Open Source project was repackaged as a commercial project, but that the open source origin has been hidden.
Interested to know what you’re referring to. If it’s social or economic policy, I’d get your view. But if it’s culture wars / identity politics you’re referring to, I’d be surprised and expect the opposite in Europe.

My sense is many (most?) of the commenters here are off-put by the latter category.

Edit: the reference to Krugman as significantly “left” just registered, and I don’t think that’s what people are referring to —- or even that most of NYT’s new guard would consider Krugman to be a leftist
And in the former case, the people lose.

It's nice to see that the Apple Security Research Device (i.e. the iPhone with root access) hasn't been forgotten about[0]. They even describe the additional security protections they had to do to ensure an attacker didn't give this device to someone that thought it was a regular iPhone (for example, the phone won't cold boot without being plugged into a charger, and if you plug it in, it shows the words "Security Research Device" before booting XNU in verbose mode)

It's a great achievement with some really interesting work done on the landing algorithms with terrain recognition and it seemed to have worked exceptionally well.

Looking forward for the next landing in May of the Chinese rover and all the science these robots will produce. Also, the test of Ingenuity, the helicopter, will be very interesting to watch, that could really pave the way for a different exploration style in the future.

And finally, maybe the next transfer window will already see some Starships, that would really change everything.

How did Google prevent UberCheats from litigating this issue? If UberCheats don't think they infringe the UberEats or other trademarks, they can litigate the issue normally. In this case Google served as the judge how?

This looks like a pretty clear trademark violation!

Rideshare Cheat Monitor for Uber would be MUCH safer than resuing an extremely similar sounding name. Or just RiderCheat Monitor.

Given they don't think their name is similar to UberEats / Uber, it makes me wonder whether they are scam of some sort as well.

Or some of the other many non solar panel renewable energy sources, like gaining electricity from water (fall or sea tide) wind or geothermal sources.

And while atom power is human unfriendly (i.e. humans are weak against it) it not so much climate unfriendly and even nature itself can live fairly fine with the radiation pollution they might cause in the worst case. Sure humans are not fine, we have societies and are long lived enough so that the cancer caused from such radiation poltion is a serious problem.

We don't even have to go to the Department of Licensing to renew anything here. You can do it all online. The only time you'd need to go anywhere is to apply for a new license or to update your photo or physical characteristics. They even take credit cards.

We're talking about powering a hydroponic greenhouse. The alternative to "Solar Powered LEDs" isn't "plant things in the ground". Its "make a glass window on your roof".

"Plant things in the ground" is also cheaper, though it does suffer from potentially poor soil conditions. Still, it seems to me that spreading fertilizer across soil (and conditioning the soil into a growable state) would be cheaper and easier than making large-scale indoor hydroponics.

Having done this sort of thing for years, I've come to realize that the biggest barrier to getting more efficient on the command line isn't "sets of features," i.e. the space of the things the shell can do -- it's figuring out how to retrain myself?

A common thing: I see a new (to me) thing like fzf or fd and can immediately conceive of how adding it to my workflow would be phenomenal, but it takes so much more to make it a part of the day. I'm curious if anyone has come up with ways to teach/train themselves better? The best I've come up with so far is to just add something stupid to my .bashrc like

echo "hey, try out that fzf trick"
Because Lithuania has very good economical reasons to be upset about this plant:

Quote:

"Lithuania invested almost 500 million euros in their aspiration of being an LNG supplier for an EU supposedly weening neighbors from Russia. Since then, their EU partners, led by Germany, collaborated with Gazprom to build a second natural gas pipeline to Germany, undercutting Lithuania."

> It’s worth remembering that the reason why plants only absorb certain parts of the spectrum is the same reason why photovoltaic panels only absorb certain parts of the spectrum

Plants are green because they value light consistency instead of total energy. Green light has too many peaks and valleys and can overload the photosynthesis systems so they reflect a lot of it.

It's the "renewables without batteries" problem only in biology.

Yep, from the article:

"This the first time we’ll be flying Linux on Mars. We’re actually running on a Linux operating system. The software framework that we’re using is one that we developed at JPL for cubesats and instruments, and we open-sourced[0] it a few years ago. So, you can get the software framework that’s flying on the Mars helicopter, and use it on your own project. It’s kind of an open-source victory, because we’re flying an open-source operating system and an open-source flight software framework and flying commercial parts that you can buy off the shelf if you wanted to do this yourself someday. This is a new thing for JPL because they tend to like what’s very safe and proven, but a lot of people are very excited about it, and we’re really looking forward to doing it."

The minimum wage increase that Biden is pushing for is radical. He wants a 15$/hour minimum wage

By 2025, and only for Federal workers. The small print in that promise that only came out after the election.
Some years ago, when learning about quantum mechanics, and how you could find a particle inside a forbidden region, I connected that with physics engines in games (and how computing them not fast enough can cause things to intersect in odd ways), and I had this idea:
What if time flows in discrete steps, but the `ticks` aren't uniformly separated? For example, they could be distributed probabilistically as a Poisson distribution. In that case, a particle hitting a potential barrier could pass it briefly, until the tick happens and it moves out of it.
There might be a way to compute an optimal probability distribution for that case, but I'm not sure if it could be consistent with Schrödinger equation.
But I never had time nor knowledge to search whether someone had already thought of it, or if it could be even remotely plausible.
But how did you pay for your livelihood at 11$/h? That costs in the end more than what you make! I was in a similar situation, but I quit because the job was costing me more money (paying for transit and food) than I was earning.

The idea that a bill proposal article is somehow going to " rarely go anywhere" and etc seems such a generic idea that you could apply to anything.

It's clear in this thread and others that content of the bill and the issues it involves is what drives the discussion, not the fact that it is just a bill proposal, and that's what should determine the quality or whatever we're determining about the discussion.

As for 'ideological' that again seems a simple way of just applying a generic stamp that could go on any topic.

These brush strokes you use are way too wide and random IMO.

Beyond that if ideology even does plays into things, that's not a reason to sweep it away. Ideology has collided with infectious disease, we still talk about it. If there's too much ideology in a thread, that just seems like a great tool for folks to use to simply derail the discussion.
