Bad choice, but logic is easy to understand.
Gtk was killing Ubuntu, and they chose to be killed by Flutter instead.

The bad about what Gtk is now is it has turned from the "Gimp Toolkit" to "GNOME Toolkit" with upstream thinking that's how it's supposed to be, and unwilling to rectify.

Flutter being a mess as it is, comes after it completely, inherently unsuitable for Linux, and desktop use.

"Egalitarian currency" and "store of value" are somewhat mutually opposed goals.

A stable store of value is always going to socially/psychologically encourage hoarding and other human traits that lead exactly back to inequal distributions of value ("wealth").

A truly egalitarian currency would need to focus on the velocity and acceleration (the current of the currency) curves far more than the value at rest, which likely would be an afterthought.
if the doj, etc. breaks google's stranglehold on search ads up into 2 or more independent search ad companies, then other non-big-tech search engines might have a chance at bidding for some of the 'default' provider lists for cell phones, browsers, etc. but as it is right now, google does not allow their search ads to be displayed on other search engines' search results. sucks!
Do I know how works what? The monetary system? The economy? The idea that a simpler design will help people like you avoid getting scammed is hilarious considering that you have already fallen for the biggest and most blatant scam of all which is bitcoin. Central banks are not there to rip you off, they have other concerns. And the wholesale adoption of bitcoin as unlikely as it is would definitely harm you in a way that you can't even imagine. Do some research on the gold standard, the problems it had and the reasons it was abandoned.
>Eating more calories than you burn make you overweight. Not the type of calorie. This has been proven (wish I could find the research paper) and was funded by Gary Taubes' research group.

This article [1] is a good writeup of the study (with the original study linked) and does a very good job at contextualizing the results and limitations, alternative viewpoints, and criticisms. My takeaway is, while a very interesting pilot study, the small sample size, lack of a control group, lack of an alternative group that ate the two diets in opposite order, possible confounding factors including exercise while outside the metabolic chamber, etc. don’t make this study any kind of smoking gun.

Neat!

NOS germanium transistors are still highly sought after(and therefore expensive) for music gear such as guitar distortion pedals and pre-amps. They impart a lovely ‘gooey’ quality that modern transistors just can’t do.
I would be wary of using someone's power to support their claims. Especially after the last four years of American politics...

Yes, but there is the problem of bootstrapping that chain of trust: how do you know that the SRI attribute value has not been tampered with?
TLS protects transit, but not server side breaches.
Sound like a Desktop Linux experience. I know, very controversial to say it here but if you think about it, through the years using desktop Linux meant that you will have a lot of cool stuff alongside with a dealbreaker like a monitor not working properly or a flashdrive causing kernel error.

How long it has been since M1 introduction? 4 months?

I recall the story about Microsoft buying all the available software out there and testing it one by one on the new version of windows and creating workarounds for specific versions of specific software. On the linux side of the things this never happened.

I doubt that Apple is doing it too but it looks like the developers are doing it instead. Probably most of the stuff will iron out within the "2 years of transition period" which we are at about %15.

The stuff that doesn't iron out will simply get obsolete and replaced. Why? Because Apple means "I have better things to do than dealing with this gadget and I am prepared to pay for if you can help me not deal with it".

Whatever software or hardware is broken is some competitors opportunity. Oh, and Rossman has his own agenda. That's why he doesn't care, he will care if there's a scandal or something.
This sounds like a great project once the US revises it's tax code. And a lot of wasted of time should it be revised to incorporate digital tools available today (like Mint transaction categorization). It's unlikely to be revised in the near term, but I have hope that throuh some bad economic or social upheaval, we may see some appetite to increase US GDP in a real way and decrease the wealth disparity by simplifying tax filing in a real way.
That ignores the effect of wealth inequality in the US. You may not know a lot of people who itemize, but our elite / political class does at almost a 100% rate.

So long as they want / use it, it will 'trickle down' to others.

Interesting theory, although didn't they still make the DRM more advanced and harder to crack with each release?
My idea is that people pirating Photoshop were mostly hurting PaintShop Pro.

PaintShop Pro has always been Photoshop's little brother. It is quite capable though not as much as Photoshop. It is also much cheaper. If piracy didn't exist, I would expect a lot more people to buy it, but since for a pirate, they are both free, there is not much reason not to go with Photoshop. And pros will also go with Photoshop because even with the high price, it is worth it, especially if they learned on the cracked version...
I don't know if I can answer that first question - it seems like if they position themselves as providing expert advice and competent filing, and then I pay for it, I should be guaranteed something. But the world does not really operate on SHOULDs.

If I used TurboTax, I would expect to find out they messed up by getting some notification from the IRS, or accidentally discovering later that I missed a deduction. If the IRS was reaching out, I'd engage a real accountant ASAP. If TurboTax missed a deduction, I'd vote with my wallet and use an accountant the following year :)

disclaimer: I use an accountant because my tax situation is complicated.

Completely agreed. If the redesign was the first impression of reddit that I had, I would have assumed it was another news spam site and not created an account or used it daily for the last 10 years.

Every recent feature they release that contributes to the "social media"-ization of reddit has not added anything useful to the reddit experience. I wonder what their driving goal is at the moment, besides the likely upcoming IPO.

Thanks... Interesting...
Not a portable solution, but I've definitely done something like this for making booklets.

1. Open up a regular stapler surface mode.
2. use a flattened shipping box as a backing surface, to give your fingers a break from the stabbing.
3. Staple through.
4. pull the paper and the staples up.
5. Start bending the staples down with pliers, to get a nice distinct fold started.
6. Bend the rest of the way by hand.
7. Masking tape the edge. (or, for more visual flair, washi tape).

I imagine you could also do something like hammer the staples a bit, but the tape really helps ensure the staples don't catch.

The staples won't have inward curve that staplers usually apply as the standard anti-catch measure, but I like this actually--combined with the tape, everything sits more flush.
I'm very much down to buy a book if they provide a free electronic copy. What I'm not down to do is buy the physical book and then have to pay for the ebook just so that I can read on my kindle... It's absurd to me that this isn't standard already

Oh wow, perhaps I was too terse and left too much room for interpretation. I meant that there is no way for a for-profit company to eventually sell personalized segment data once it has it, even if there were initial promises not to do so.

In that regard, the "siren call", as dwohnitmok says, it's a very appropriate way of encapsulating what I meant. You can be bold and not do it, but as soon as you have investors, they are going to demand it , pressure you into doing it, and if you do not comply replace you with someone who will not be sitting in a potentially profitable line of business and do nothing.
Thinking the same thing. Anyone compare last years with this years!
I'm somewhat apathetic regarding the health of the music/tv/movie/game industries as a whole. I do care about specific shows, artists, and games though, and revenue is an important signal that businesses use to decide what to make more or less of in the future. if you don't pay for anything, you're essentially throwing away your vote. as a group, pirates are accepting that they only get to select from things that other people are willing to pay for.

Their food was better in the past. With expansion and other business challenges there was some cost cutting.

Someone further upthread suggested they should partner with local restaurants, and I think that's a great idea. Quality food trucks would be a perfect fit.
What we need is a global organization that ensures that every nation will be self sufficient in regards to nutrition and only imports non essential foods for varieties sake.

That's how you solve hyperinflation. The problem isn't that the currency is bad. The problem is that the government is utter garbage and since when did Bitcoin market itself as a political tool to subvert authoritarian leadership? No, it's just another "currency" like the dollar.
When I was in middle school (1980s) we did a tax return on paper, I think it was part of a Social Studies class? We were given a fictitious W2, number of dependents, etc. and had to fill out a 1040 and a State return (on paper of course, no computers then). This permanently demystified the process. I think a lot of people who pay HRBlock or similar to do their taxes have never tried to do their taxes manually and are just afraid to try.

I have always done my taxes myself, on paper, even years when I had capital gains, education credits, 1099s, and small business (single member LLC) income. It's a bit time consuming but not difficult per se.
A country isn't a race, and I omitted the specific country for the very purpose of not painting a picture based on their skin color, because it has literally nothing to do with it. It's also not a reflection of their character or their culture, either. Please don't mis-assert that it's "racism".

Also, have you been to Berlin? Of course people don't own houses here. Unless you're outside the ring, there are very few houses to be bought. If you're talking about owning apartments within the large houses here, it makes sense that a lot of people don't want to own them - because not a lot of young people want to be tied down to a 40sqm unit in one part of the city for the rest of their lives, or deal with all of the hassle of subletting and the tenancy laws here unless they were serious about holding and nurturing those securities.

I'm a kernel engineer, focusing on performance. My intel MBP died and i replaced it with an M1 about 6 weeks ago. The M1 has been very handy, since it gave me (via a Qemu VM) a local FreeBSD/arm64 native build environment just when I started looking at FreeBSD/arm64 performance.

The one issue that I have is that Intel Vtune crashes when displaying data collected on our servers.

Is it the shitcoin or is it the fact that the economy itself is gone and thus your currency isn't worth anything because nobody is selling things to you?

Here is an interesting article:

How do you feel about libraries? Should I feel bad about the hundreds of unpopular fiction books that I borrowed when I was younger?

I believe that writers, video game creators and other targets of piracy should be fairly compensated for their work. However, for products that require $0 to be duplicated (by the creator or not) it doesn't make sense to charge per-unit.
> Or Bill Ackmann crying on CNBC while financially positioned for the exact opposite.

No, he was positioned in exactly the way he said he was. He went on CNBC to warn about the dangers of the coronavirus, having already expressed this view in the market. It's his job as a hedge fund manager to do so.

Also, he won big on the credit default swap trade while losing massively as the market plummeted, the individual trade was massively profitable, but in aggregate it was just a hedge against the downturn.
Perhaps a key distinction is whether the algorithm is mostly learned from data or whether the algorithm is mostly hand-engineered.

What most people refer to as "AI" maintains that the former is a necessary (although not sufficient) condition.
Two-service veteran here. In my observation, most people also "learn" about the military from Hollywood, which is almost always comically bad at portraying the kinds of people, cultures, technology, tactics, etc. actually in the military/government. What would 24 have been without Chloe's ability to hack the video camera on a 1980s alarm clock by logging into a GPS satellite?
I didn't mention those because in theory a lot of that could be done by the library, or done by the daemon before passing off the fd for a peer-to-peer connection. (If a connection dies, the library would transparently handle that by sending a request back to the daemon for another connection, etc) But of course another thing that having a message bus allows you to do is reduce the amount of fds that a client has to poll on to just one for the bus socket.
> It's a racket.

Yea, possibly (I agree with you). It is as much a racket as lots of other things. Doesn't excuse it being a racket, but TurboTax is not an anomaly.

> Government already knows how much you owe them.

This is false. If you aren't taking advantage of deductions, sophisticated tax-deferred vehicles for retirement or tax-advantaged accounts for other investments, you're giving the IRS more than you have to. If that doesn't bother you, that's fine too!

> So how about US government, like most modern countries, send you a form which says: "we think you owe us xxx$ (because of this and that), if not - provide extra information"?

Cool, sounds great. However, you're over-simplifying things and ignoring the complicated parts. For a lot of people, a simple approach like the above would be totally adequate and I personally completely support a system like that.

Speaking as another sad owner of a Macbook Air (pre-M1), I do wish Apple made it more clear that they can't drive monitors well, but I agree with your overall sentiment – OP probably would have been much, much happier with a higher-spec'd M1 MBP (though given the price and their OS preference, maybe still not happy enough).
What about subjects like “building rockets that are moon-capable”? All experts know negligible amounts about this subject, but organizations have “sufficient” knowledge.
The Apples to Apples comparison (if you will) is to other integrated GPUs.

>The first Apple-built GPU for a Mac is significantly faster than any integrated GPU we’ve been able to get our hands on, and will no doubt set a new high bar for GPU performance in a laptop. Based on Apple’s own die shots, it’s clear that they spent a sizable portion of the M1’s die on the GPU and associated hardware, and the payoff is a GPU that can rival even low-end discrete GPUs.

The article says 1) it's only for those who recently entered the country, and only for two weeks, and 2) those who have received the vaccine get a "green pass" which allow more freedoms.

When someone flags legitimate concerns you can’t dismiss them with them being “clearly biased” and saying “most people don’t feel that way”.

I think it's sort of an illusion (though certainly a useful one) that numbers are all part of the same system. Multiplication of natural numbers is defined to be repeated addition, and I'm not really sure how you could define natural number multiplication in any other way. From the natural numbers you can go on to define the integers, rationals, then reals, and each has its own definition of multiplication, though they each depend on the definition of multiplication from the previous system.

There's a standard way of lifting each type of number to the next type, and this lift is compatible with all the basic operations (the lift is a "homomorphism"), so it's easy to pretend that the real numbers (or complex numbers if you want) are the universal system.

So with your example of going to fractional values, you're right, repeated addition falls apart -- but I'd say that's because it's not the definition for multiplication of rational numbers! Multiplying numerators and denominators is the usual definition, but that gives about as much intuition as does the definition for multiplying natural numbers. Sort of "the point" of multiplication of naturals, I think, is that it represents how many things you have if you arrange them in an n by m grid. Rational numbers show up in geometry with similar shapes (scaling), and for a few reasons you'd want multiplication to represent by how much something scales after a composition of scalings; maybe "the point" of rational number multiplication (at least algebraically) is that you can defer dividing until later, i.e. (a/b) * (c/d) is (a*c)/b / d.
Thanks, but I don't think you'd change my mind in person, sorry :)

I think I understand your point and I wouldn't eat meat if I thought it's immoral, or wrong in any way. But I'm not convinced it is.

Reducing suffering is of course a worthy goal, but like I say in other comments there must be a balance. Some suffering is, for me, justified, if the purpose is to kill an animal to eat it, because that is necessary.

You say we don't need to eat meat. I'm not sure what you mean. We certainly need nutrients that are found only in animal products and animal meat is a rich source of nutrients anyway. Personally, I don't think I would be able to live a healthy life without eating meat and animal products. For the record, I eat meat maybe a couple of times a week and I don't think that I need to eat a big juicy steak to feel I've had a proper meal. I'm Greek so I was brought up in a culture where most staple dishes are naturally vegetarian or vegan ("naturally" as in we just call them "food"), though supplemented with ample dairy products and lots and lots of fish. I do think that many people in the developed world eat way too much meat and I definitely think this is causing all sorts of problems, including no end to the unnecessary suffering of animals, because of course animal wellfare is much harder to ensure in industrialised farming, than in smaller scale farming.

I'm 100% with you in reducing suffering. I just don't agree that this means eating no meat at all, ever. I think it means reducing the amount of meat some people eat, abolishing industrial farming and educating people better about animal wellfare also. But I think, to cease eating meat at all is taking things way too far.
I tried a query I searched for yesterday at work: "opengl python glclipplane". Google gives me the documentation page, two example pages (which are near duplicates), and then some relevant Stackoverflow questions. Private.sh gives me the website homepage for OpenGL, some totally irrelevant links into the PyOpenGL documentation (other modules, etc., not the one I searched for), and the Wikipedia page for OpenGL.

It's cool that it's private, but I could pipe my searches to /dev/null and that'd be pretty private too. If I can't get a useable result, who cares?
