trillion dollar??

You think anyone apart from Uncle Rupert had a say in this? In a first-world democracy, every citizen has the right to be ignored by his or her elected representatives.
Those seem less good, I agree.
Are you sure you don't mean 2120?

I got one as well.
Scott Morrison is only intimidated by one thing, the multinational News Corp that keeps him in a job [0][1].

Notably, the outcome of the petition by fmr. PM Rudd to have the government formally investigate this relationship is a Senate media diversity enquiry, which begins tomorrow 19.02.21 [2].

I'd say – anything you put on the internet isn't private anymore.

Gmail + spark mail client. I also hear a lot of good things about superhuman.com
Why choose preceisely over

assert all([el in result for el in ['A', 'B']])

There is definitely room for more brainfarts in the above, but introducing a new library with its own semantics into a team also have its costs.
Yep it's just a pity Inmarsat is so expensive
Try using a Plus Code? The link you sent is 9C9MRJ9C+XP (visible in the left panel of Google Maps when you click on a location) which isn't on land and is rejected by the Starlink website, but "V84R+RR Isle of Scalpay" (the nearest land) gives me the same pricing as I see for my location in Edinburgh. So I suspect you'd be fine.
How do you imagine the real world works? Even in the very text written by Adam Smith he says that free market only works in a regulated environment. Because once a few gets big enough, they can control the whole market.

Why do you think Microsoft failed even with the tremendous amount of money they poured into and even with having an arguibly great UX?
I was supporting general tax, not the google-news deal. We're in agreement :)
True but that doesn't mean they will. When you have few options it's necessary to do whatever you can
> my electricity and gas bill (combined) peaked at $1200/mont

That is insane. Why so high? are these normal rates in the US?

I pay £100-£120 for electricity (no gas here).

That might be true, but the statement from the article still stands. Those who mine bitcoins (using their computers) are probably not those getting rich of it.
People have tested it. It’s about a 90 mile radius. It’s a hard limit of having limited satellites service a large (90 mile) radius.
Fife, where I live in Scotland, is often referred to as a Kingdom although if it ever was a kingdom it probably was at least 1200 years ago. I saw a sign at the weekend that made me smile:

"The Kings have gone by the Kingdom remains"

Amazing how long these things can persist.
Remember that people still read the mainstream media as legitimate news, and literally no media property has an incentive to cover this from Google or FB's perspective. In a way this is a massive oversight on Google and FB's part.

This is the same fight that Uber had to fight with taxi cartells. You need to fight, you need to fight hard, and most importantly you need the public on your side. I'm not sure if FB's move is the right one and will get public support, but at least it opens people's eyes to the consequences of this.
Exactly. It's huge to be able to use a currency that is not arbitrarily devaluable at the whim of the government and central bank.
> Crop the parameters and you have no reason to assume it points at the same image.

Well, that is going to be a problem for the mailer. I'm totally fine with banning dynamic parameter dependent images.

> Good luck explaining to your customers what happens when someone finds a way to effectively poison your non-unique image cache with something offensive.

I would say it is the email marketer fault for using unsupported parameterized images. I cannot image a legit use for that, and many evil spammy ones.
Is there any mechanism by which we (in general) or a client specifically could use an expensive low latency for say browsing and a high latency but wide/cheap pipeline for bulk transfer?

I can imagine being able to do this when you control both sides by letting one type of data flow over one IP and the other over a different one with different peerings. But I wonder whether this is generally available.
Not the entire drive, just the entire OS volume group (containing multiple volumes), which is one GPT partition. There are 3 volume groups (partitions), two of them are hidden by the main listings in diskutil (but still exist). If you mess those up, the only way to recover is Apple Configurator 2.
Full support for Facebook! Facebook has had it's major share of blunders, but in this case I do not see them in the wrong. The Australian PM is shilling for Rupert Murdoch and wants Facebook to dance to his tune.

Let the people of Australia decide what they like more, it seems to me that each year there are always some problems in Australia. From GPU shortages, bad internet connection, overpriced games, crazy real estate prices to now something like this.
I think it is all about preference.

I hated the new MacBook keys the instant I tried them. It felt like I was typing directly on the table. I had no problem with accuracy, but I found it really uncomfortable.

I guess it is like a mattress, some people prefer it firm and others prefer it soft.

I have a Topre keyboard BTW, which I chose by going to a shop and trying plenty of different keyboards without looking at the price and specs. Unfortunately, I ended up preferring the most expensive one...
Nintendo did it back in the 80s. Court should have shot that down right then and there.
>The evidence is stacked against centralized power production.

Ok, show me.
The important thing is that they've made it very difficult to reply to nonsense claims with links to authoritative news sources. They even wound up inadvertently banning some government websites.
Well I mean linguistically the Scottish Celts are descended from Irish Gaelics which are descended from Gallo?-Iberian Celts which are in turn descended from Indo-European tribes, the first Steppe nomad society. Very interesting.
On this, I wonder if those satellites could be equipped with some astronomical devices and grant some kind of public access? Maybe just a download link of recent raw data from an antenna.
Ooft, that's pricey.
Absolutely. In the same way that we add street lights for humans, we will add waypoints for cars so they make less mistakes.
I never said mining Bitcoins was dangerous. Only that it makes a lot of sense that Bitcoin miners are usually not those who get rich from Bitcoin.
I would expect that coverage from those not funded by advertising (the ABC) to be better.
If "we only hire in our NY or SV head office" tends towards "we hire anywhere, as long as you're good enough" - wouldn't the effect be the opposite?

We've been seeing the slow death of rural communities for decades so the status quo doesn't seem to be of much help to them. Some reverse migration back into these communities and a trend away from increasing centralization into a few rich cities should only help their economic prospects.
Take a pinch of half truth (this is about protecting journalists), mix with a dusting of nationalism (FB are intimidating Australia) and viola - a news monopoly gets a legislated free ride.

Lets all fight amongst ourselves about government versus FB while the real winners remain invisible.
You need oh-my-zsh
Our journey from $0 to $35K MRR in 8 months
I think this is partially bad advice, sorry.

Sure, algorithmic thinking is valuable, but linear programming and complexity theory has no bearing on 99% of all web development jobs that require JavaScript and in this context I think this fetishisation of Informatics Olympiad style puzzles is the wrong advice for someone trying to enter the field. You do not need an in-depth understanding of computer science to get started with programming or survive in the field, especially not in an enterprise environment. I met Java developers who I suspected didn't even know what class is to be honest. But people like this can thrive at big corps.

In the first year of university I had Prolog, EBNF and partial derivatives, theoretical foundations of computing, linear algebra and stochastics but how much of that stuff do you really need when programming a UI? The complexity lies elsewhere, understanding business requirements, talking to people, avoiding technical debt by talking PMs out of weird requirements, structuring your application in a modular fashion, staying up to date with the eco-system etc.

I agree that focusing on HTML, CSS and vanilla Javascript before jumping into React, Vue or whatever is a good idea tho. For frontend development job, the best thing in my view would be a solid understanding of the web fundamentals + experience in one of the big three frameworks. Outside of that, I think there are probably a lot of jobs where being able to just work with Wordpress templates is good enough tbh.

Anyways, when I'm hiring "juniors" or I'm looking for something that tells me the person a) actually likes programming b) has some demonstrated talent (problem solving, compositional thinking, whatever you want to call it) and is able and willing to learn and c) is able to work together with people (which is the biggest problem with self-taught solo-devs, not having worked in teams before) d) is not an asshole
Why view it as taking FB side?

It's really more why the hell has Newscorps got the Australian government as their bully man. It outrageous that they can so easily sway the government of a nation to play to their tune, that's what should worry everyone the most.

Again and again it's the government, they can not avoid being manipulated by these larges corporations and so giving them more power to some how constrain said corporations is vain hope at best and plain stupidity at worse, we will just give them more power to be abused by said corporations.
Some of these are specific to oh-my-zsh. For example:
1. take command: https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/blob/8b37f817c29715873b91...
2. History substring search is a separate module: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search, which I assume oh-my-zsh configures
Like iPhones, new Macs are linked to an account and you can’t activate a new installation without access to the account. This is a pretty strong theft deterrent.

Of course this only works if you need access to the account to break this link.
Traditional news media, specifically news corp, is who gets them elected.
> Also I think Facebook should register as a news agency in Australia and charge news publishers if they re-post content from FB. This way FB also makes money

I like this, I like this a lot.
Salty/sweet contrast is the core of Hawaiian pizza appeal, and flavour/texture contrasts are the foundation of some of the most interesting foods, for instance salted caramel, pork and apples, etc.
Temporarily. For all the talk of crypto replacing central banks and the FIAT system, people heavily involved in crypto want to be able to cash out and buy their Lambo and have fun not being poor. So there will be a rush to use fiat gateways such as Coinbase to liquidize their crypto assets. Enormous sell pressure.
I wonder why they practice distributing iodine pills rather than just distribute them ahead of time?

The article reminds me of fraudulent material certificates at South Korean nuclear plants. As much as I advocate for nuclear power, I am fearful that more disasters will occur due to human error.
> The Governor of Texas just got on Hannity to bad mouth a New Green Deal as people died in Texas

Everyone's out here bashing him for this, but how do we know that's not what his voters really want? I mean, the constant stream of culture war is what matters to Republican voters far more than any actual policy outcomes, so he's doing what his voters insist on him doing. I'm sure there are Republicans out there shivering in the dark listening to that and cheering him on for sticking it to the environmentalists who they believe are responsible for this.
I've used my Das Keyboards 2, 3 and 4 quite a lot. Maybe I'm not picky enough, but I never noticed anything different in switch quality. "Ruined" is way overblown imho. Typing from my DK4 which I really love.
Unfortunately you would be wrong, because the ABC has decided it is better to suck up to the Liberal party for funding than to call them out on their bullshit.
I had a similar problem, but the chat was unresponsive so I simply asked my bank to stop honouring their receipts.
They sent me spam for another year, before I finally made a lots of GDPR threats to get cancellation.

Is it even legal to ask for a zip code to cancel when there was no zip code in their system?
Why though ? If someone wants to harm you, they can damage the hard drive enough so that the data is unreadable if they have physical access.
Well the (Celtic) Scots did descend from roughly the Scythians. although afaik the Picts are thought to possibly be non-celtic. The Celtics though were all Indo-European, and so originate from the Eurasian steppe.
> The iPhone is not a computer platform, it's an integrated experience.

Sorry, but this is bulls*t.

The iPhone has, what? A few million applications from third parties? It's a platform.

Use the iPhone with 0 (ZERO!) third party applications for 1 year and then get back to me ;-)

Actually, even if you somehow manage to do it, that's not even the point. The AppStore makes something like $60bn per year. iOS is a platform.
The folks who use facebook for news are likely ones who don’t understand how to use the address book.

Their primary computing device is most likely a mobile phone.

The impact goes beyond blocking news.

Facebook is also blocked state government (not federal) websites relating to COVID-19 vaccine roll out.

Whilst I don’t support the legislation, Facebook’s move seems like a poor choice.

Why cant google just start charging end users to click on those links?
> Fraud or improper charges are also easily immediately rescinded if using a credit card.

I'm not sure how exactly it compares, but every credit card at least in my lifetime in the US has been bound by these same protections.

> What kind of cover for fees for international use are you talking about?

Sorry, this is more of a tangent that I should have denoted, as it's not specifically related to fraud or consumer rights. At least compared to the major European and Asian countries in which I've traveled or lived in, credit card and bank/debit card offerings in the US are extremely generous in benefits, rewards, fees, etc. I actually still sometimes use my US card in a European country because my US bank offers lower fees than my domestic bank (in the home country) for ATMs, currency exchange, card replacements, etc.

> Speaking from Australia, we have outstanding customer protection and rights, and no massive hoops or hurdles to go to get it that would be more significant than anything in the US.

I'm honestly not sure how this compares to the US or elsewhere as I've never been to Australia. I'm regularly surprised by how inflexible businesses seem in much of continental Europe, however.
Because the old adage of markets can stay irrational for longer than most people can remain solvent.

Betting on a short (even more against BTC) is a very different proposition than staying long on it, they have very different risk and losses profiles.
What makes this specific to fintech vs. general ML tools? I led risk at a fintech and it’s unclear how this is better than generalized solutions.
I know the government and obviously the media are telling the peasants to dislike this move.

But do they?

I would have thought the commoners would support this. Sticking it to the media.

The media is going to run a campaign of lies, so it's going to be tricky to tell. I guess after a while the public will actually believe they feel like the way the media tells them to.

Fingers crossed Facebook doesn't blink.
If either your ISP exposes that ability or if you maintain multiple outbound connections, then yes. But I don't think this is commonly implemented today, however.

You would probably have to configure your own routing table to direct traffic for each application through the appropriate link, but that's completely doable as long as you can write rules to distinguish the packets (for example based on destination).
Wow, they actually have a pure Danish model. That afaik makes them the only boutique keyboard company that doesn't try to sell Danes a combined "Nordic" keyboard where you have to manually ignore the Norwegian and Swedish markings.
Uh... he's a right leaning conservative, like both major Australian parties. He's not off the scale nuts like the US, but only by looking through an American lens could you conclude that he was left leaning.
Not to rain on your parade, but 10 years is nothing. I'm still using my cheap A4Tech KV-300H bought back in early 2011 for about $15. It works just as it did the day it was bought, except for some minor cosmetic wear. It had tea, coffee, and water poured on it about a dozen times, continuing working as before after a few hours in a warm place.

I really don't get the usual "get one mechanical keyboard and it'll serve you for life". This thing will surely last for at least another 5 years. It's very comfortable, I can type for hours and the wrists don't hurt. So what does it come to, about $1 per year of use?

What mechanical keyboard can beat that? (I am not planing on living for 300+ years, mind you.)
Well, the Scots were originally a kingdom that was split between what is now Northern Ireland and parts of the west of Scotland with a base at the fortress of Dunadd.

In the US system I think it’s more appropriate to say the PBMs own the product and the producers are just providing a cheap raw material. After rebates the producers take only 1/3 of the sale, and they have all the costs. The PBMs take 2/3 and are in charge of driving price negotiations, which they are just absolutely terrible at, as can be seen by the prices that just keep rising and rising... I wonder why.

And yes you might think it’s the pharmacy getting the short end of the stick, but you’ll see cases where insurance, Pharmacy benefits manager and the pharmacy are all owned by the same group anyway. So really it’s just the consumers. But it’s hard to notice since this all unfolds into higher insurance premiums, co-pays etc, which get compared to list prices, which keep rising, but are disconnected from then producers net take-home.
Tax will hurt you, it always does. You're at the bottom of the pile and so it will ultimately be push down to you in some fashion or other.

Australia 2018: $559B

Why in God's name would give these idiots anymore money.
That has a distinctly apocryphal look. But thank you, I had forgotten how old Frost was when his first book appeared.
>Inflation. If you don't spend your money, it loses value. This is actually part of the economic program (inflate to grow demand). What are you going to spend it on? Stuff or sevices. Stuff takes electricity to make. Services take electricity to perform.

How does spending money on clean energy infrastructure produce CO2 emissions? Obviously there is a trace amount because we are dependent on a CO2 based economy but in reality if the incentives were correct we would be able to increase spending without additional CO2 emissions.

The problem begins with the fact that the central bank is distributing the fresh money in a way that drives Bitcoin up. So yes, we could argue that the central bank is directly responsible for the CO2 emissions of Bitcoin and the system itself is what's broken. Bitcoin is just the symptom.
North Korea has no phones..
Agreed. I know plenty of highly intelligent, super talented and experienced people who had to take multiple rounds to get into Google. I myself tried it once and made it to the hiring committee, but was ultimately rejected. I was an experienced developer and prepared myself pretty well and was still nervous as hell.

To be honest I don't know how without any prior experience or graduating from a top uni you would get an interview at a FAANG in the first place.
It would probably help if you explained what the heck a "boutique software development company" is.
Facebook Australian news ban sees anti-vaccine misinformation pages unaffected
Yes,but still: He's a conservative, rightist, anti unions, climate denying, pro coal, Murdoch bum-sucking, sacked ad-man. He's just not as right wing as Americans.

If he could have avoided any of the things you listed, he would have. He depends on the support of mouth breathers who believe Islam is evil, and who lock up refugees. He is incapable of bipartisanship. He basically dumped all Labor state leaders under the bus, backing only liberal state governments and refused to give credence to science. He did not stop antivaxx messages from his party.

He used his religion to further his career. His church faith group harboured a notorious paedophile pastor, and uses scripture to justify wealth at any cost. Pentecostal churches are not apolitical neutral bodies.

He did well, politically. He's not as right wing as pinochet. He's still right wing.
They ought to declare conflict of interest, really.

I see no such declarations.
The law requires that they not distinguish between news orgs that sign up to the new legislation and those that don't[1], which strongly incentivises them to err on the side of blocking too much rather than blocking too little.

It isn't shown in TFA, but the zcalc keymap is bindable in the line editor so not only can you use it like qalc/irb/luap/whatever you can also take advantage of any other functionality of zsh within it. Admittedly, you could do some of that with some magic $if/$endif guards in your ~/.inputrc if your REPL uses readline, but the integration is nice functionality if you're a heavy zsh user. I think of it more like the expression register in vim or eval-print-expression in emacs.
Congratulations on launch! ML tools/services/platforms are really hard to build. You need to juggle not only frontend/backend frameworks but also make them work with ML frameworks. There are so many corner-cases that can make the whole app crash.

How does it differ from open-source AutoML frameworks like https://github.com/mljar/mljar-supervised or drag-and-drop tools like Azure ML Studio?

Is the no-writing the code a killer feature here?

Do you have financial data enhancement feature? Do you plan such feature?
Poor choice of words. I would hope that it was better, but not reliably expect that it actually is in reality.
If you use TOR browser, you're already doing this. Requests from TOR browser go over TOR, if you have a regular browser open in another window your internet-routable requests there go over the internet. Of course the first hop goes via your ISP in either case, but it's easy to imagine it doesn't.
I guess it's a commercial reality they all have to do it or none of them can - they can't afford to block FB as so many people get their news that way, so either they get paid by FB or the whole platform goes news-free, and either of those new situations works better for them.

I guess it's a race to the bottom. AN individual org is faced with the choice to give their content to fb for nothing or lose readership.
If i understand correctly the antenna tracks a specific satellite as it transit above it.

So how does it handle the switch from that satellite to the next one without losing signal?
