My main point to all of the above is that you need a better OS, the hardware can mostly be ignored once a proper OS is running that can keep the hardware from being hijacked.

Bitcoin Mining Map: approximate geographic distribution of global hashrate
"The Bitcoin Mining Map visualises the approximate geographic distribution of global Bitcoin hashrate. The average hashrate share by country is available for display in monthly intervals starting from September 2019. In addition, a second map with an exclusive focus on China’s hashrate distribution by province is provided."
At the end of the day, people are betting on what they believe (or throwing away their money for the lulz).

I genuinely, no bullshit, think TSLA is more irrational than GME, and has been for years. I put my money where my mouth is and I'm up 5x in 2 weeks. I know it won't last, but hey TSLA is crashing too. Nothing lasts forever.
Congrats on the launch.

Because it is kind of hidden, I am pasting the pricing from the FAQ

A one-month subscription is $29.99 and an annual subscription is $239.99/year ($20/month). Both options give you unlimited access to every Charge Running class, as well as our weekly “Club Races”.
There is also an environmental aspect. Limits on the export of unfinished wood/logs ensures that the wood isn't being sold to become firewood.

Firewood is a thing. Something like 8-10% of UK electricity (2017) came from firewood harvested in the US.

> There will be a market for both automated and manned grocery stores in the future.

I don't think there will be. In countries like the Nordic countries with very high costs of labor, specialty physical retail locations of all sorts have been closing left and right, with people now ordering those things online. Certainly some consumers enjoy shopping in a shops with social interaction, but not enough to keep those shops solvent in the long haul.

How do you imagine a generic person in your mind? Purple? Multicolored?

Probably each person has some mind-image that’s more common than others (probably guided by early childhood experiences, or mirror image of you), or even if you’re on average unbiased there’s still going to be some image you have in mind for each particular person, which is a perfectly legitimate reason to be surprised upon finally meeting that person.

Honestly the only reason this is controversial is because of “skin color” and the current political climate.

“Oh, I’m surprised, I imagine you having red hair.”

“How come you imagined me having red hair?”

“Don’t know, just because.”

Unless they are the ones used on the railways, where the red light is on the bottom. Reason for this apparently, means that a build up of snow can't obscure it, causing a driver to not see it and ram up the back of another train. Of course nowadays, there's overrides to stop trains running red lights, but the red lights are still orientated at the bottom.
> In my opinion, they have spies, moles, agents amongst the workers. I wouldn't be surprised if some of those agents are in important positions, and they could be then now requested to do something stupid.

Oh, I agree. I'm sure you are right. I'm just surprised that with all that intelligence, the path they chose to take was so blunt.

Either they're missing something, or I am - only time will tell, I guess.

I kind of love how google has destroyed their reputation on the customer support side and doesn't seem to care. I believe at a certain point it will affect their bottom line. They must be betting that they develop passable AI support before that happens.
There used to be meme among my friends that we’d express how much a piece of enterprise software sucked by how expensive we thought it cost. For example, “Wow, this sucks. This must cost $500k a year.”

It was scary how close we got to some published prices.

No, GME has a failing business. They were losing money on their physical stores before the pandemic.

They basically have to pivot into ecommerce and somehow compete effectively with Sony, Microsoft, and Valve. I don't give them good odds of success there, even with Ryan Cohen.

In the USA, we used to have union grocery stores.

It seems like every year we are loosing more union jobs than ever.

Safeway has always been a hated place to work, but it used to pay their employees a decent salary with benefits.

Now—they have a weird semi union status. They load up the stores with desperate people, and still manage to make them maybe the most angry workers I have seen. I overheard one manager tell an employee yesterday to drive to a store two hours away, and be there by 7:00 am! The employee just looked crushed. That kind of crap didn’t happen in union shops.

I guess the future will be self checkouts, security cams everywhere, and facial recognition to track.
Yes, initially it is far more effort into the document you want to create. But once you start to be familiar with the marcos and packages, then it become easier to do the document formatting. Honestly, I am still learning how to use LaTeX and I found it to be superior to Word because LaTeX allows me to edit it at the source (allowing finer control over the document) than relying on Word's WYSIWYG or any word processor to provide a virtual page until it is printed. The issue with WYSIWYG processor, there are chances that formatting will move around or clipped out the pages. That become more work to figure out how to get to fit in a single page, despite that WYSIWYG shows it is in the single page (the printed document show two pages). It is more hell to work with the table in Word than in LaTeX as Word have a weird table padding (really really hard to control this than in LaTeX) that lead the document to look a bit off.

I started learning few weeks ago and now working on two additional documents because I start to understand of how to use it and it become quicker from there. But again every person have a different approach with learning LaTeX.
Totally understand what you're saying. But I think it's more true that there's 1 wolf, 1 sheepdog and 8 sheep. Probably more my philosophical outlook on society coming through. I think 80% of people are perfectly rational. It's 10% on one extreme and 10% on the other extreme, of the population that are "at battle". They just convince the other 80% that, "It's your problem too".

But circling back to what you said, what can you do? Sheep follow. Someone is going to convince you of the best way to "security".

These people are government workers who are angry if the union doesn't win them a raise every year (and they won't as I live in a province which is very suspicious of government and nobody cares if they get a raise). So they instead just want their dues back.

I've been saying the same thing about the Apple phone app for years.

Here's the problem - you touch ANYTHING in the phone app and it will dial the phone.

My mother used to have all kinds of problems with this.

Why is butt-dialing a thing on an iphone? Billions of dollars of development and I still get into the phone app and I have to keep my hands off the screen and tap carefully not to screw up.

I'm listening to a voicemail - whoops I am calling them back right now!!! argh.

What is this unknown number? Wait, I DON"T WANT TO CALL IT!

The solution is simple: a setting that lets you confirm before calling. Just like when you tap what looks like a phone number in everything OUTSIDE the phone app.

> I'd kinda argue that your description of Amazon can be better applied to union organizers, who seem to have a pervasive attitude that any worker who opposes a union must have been tricked or bullied into their position

I can't speak for union organizers, as I'm not one, but I don't think this is exactly how one sees people who're acting against their own interests. It's more of a frustration/confusion/concern they don't have all the facts.

It's absolutely possible for someone to have all the relevant information at hand, and make a decision I wouldn't make. I think what's got me more surprised is the blunt and obviously propagandistic way Amazon is messaging on this; I think they risk coming off cartoonishly corporate/self-interested.
I understand this is meant as a joke - but for sure it's a way of limiting your exposure on being accused of unfair hiring practices.
The paper that introduced the term "kleptoprotein" seems to be from 2020, so this is very fresh research.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6949039/

From what little I understand from it, it doesn't seem they have the mechanism explained yet, though they hint that it's possible the immune system may have been co-opted for this. Relevant paragraph from "Discussion" section below:

Kleptoprotein in bioluminescent fish was unexpected because ingested proteins are usually decomposed in digestive systems, including pyloric caeca in fishes, into amino acids or oligopeptides and absorbed through the gut wall as nutrients. This means that the original structure and enzymatic activity of ingested proteins are typically not maintained during their passage through digestive tracts. However, the phenomenon of protein uptake without full digestion has been reported in some vertebrate immune systems. For example, M cells in mammalian intestinal epithelia play an important role for the immune system by taking macromolecules or even microbes into the cell as antigens via pinocytosis (24). Similar antigen-sampling functions were reported in the intestinal epithelium of cyprinid fishes, and the presence of M cell–like cells was reported in the intestine of a salmonid fish (25–27). While this mechanism for protein uptake is not selective and the protein is not used for its original function, these immune systems may have been co-opted to serve a kleptoprotein role in Parapriacanthus bioluminescence during evolution. We expect that the reason why ostracod luciferase was exploited for kleptoprotein bioluminescence of Parapriacanthus is due partly to its high proteolytic resistance and highly stable nature (fig. S9). Kleptoprotein bioluminescence using the ostracod luciferase might have also evolved in parallel in some other teleost lineages, e.g., the apogonid fishes Jaydia ellioti and Rhabdamia cypselura, which use vargulin for their luminescence and whose light organs are connected to the digestive tract (16, 17), as in Parapriacanthus.
Haha, yeah, was lucky timing. :)

Also, Ellison was a great writer, but bringing attention to his work doesn't really advance the Cause.

The whole point of Invisible Man is that Ellison doesn't want to be reduced to a dehumanized representative of some collective. He is a person in his own right.

If you're an activist, the kind of thinking represented by Ellison is actively counterproductive. It's old-school Liberal stuff -- "outdated". It interferes with building the proper Consciousness.

Hence the objection to someone, and in particular a "white" person, working to advance Ellison without enough criticism. Instead you need someone who can "properly contextualize" Ellison, which is to say, to treat him with a little surface respect, but ultimately to make clear to readers that his work is somehow misguided. Nobody will go so far as to say "Uncle Tom" or "counter-revolutionary", but that's the subtext.

I wouldn't call this "talking like children", because the people are highly-educated adults and they understand exactly what they are doing.
I've done this with a black 2007 MacBook 2,1 ("BlackBook") - ironically it's about the easiest laptop to install Libreboot on (all in software, no H/W intervention needed). Runs Trisquel Lite, the only thing that doesn't work is the webcam, but that's a privacy bonus.
I think it's important to note that product lead, system architect, and UX architect are distinct roles, each with distinct responsibilities, for a reason.

It's not my job as a coder to care about your problem past what has been described to me. It is your job, as product lead, to care about the problem and design a sufficient information architecture, subdomain map, and other documentation to model your problem.

This goes both ways. It is not your job to care about my problems past how it impacts the product. I don't expect you to know or care about how we design the software or how it is implemented; whether we use snake or camelCase, if we use openssl or pgp, if we choose mysql or postgresql.

I just think it's important to outline that much of your comment can be applied in the inverse, and saying that "It's less work to become a mediocre programmer than to intimately understand the problem", is the same as saying "It's less work to become a mediocre product analyst than it is to intimately understand how to code".

I agree with your last point, it's important for every department to have humility and empathy for the problems of their peers. But, it's not a problem to be figured out by designers and coders; it's instead an issue that extends further and requires effort from everyone involved, and at every level, to support.

That’s very good to hear, from where I’m from (Eastern Europe) a bank account is very heavily linked to a current physical address (as in, you must have a physical address officially attached to your name which in itself is a quite cumbersome process) and oftentimes with an additional proof (like an utilities bill on your name attached to that address). That makes getting a bank account a little difficult for many people.

>none of these actually work and none of the implementations you will find in the wild are anything but snakeoil

This is wrong. The foundation of the modern web is safe Javascript implementations. BPF/eBPF is another widespread technology using isolation mechanisms like this.

All of these techniques work. As I mentioned in the very next sentence, only the first in that list is common, but that doesn't mean the rest don't work. If you have found some fundamental hole in NaCL or CHERI or JVM security which makes them ineffective, feel free to publish your results.

Oh yeah the irony of actually believing in human rights.

I guess you use the same twisted CCP logic when it comes to building infrastructure.

Lets just totally ignore human rights because we can build trains and roads much faster than those fools in the West.

If you believe that you can herd people like cattle, weld them in their homes, spy on their every step then you dont deserve to live in the West.
It's still consistent.

It's just not the same pattern for roads and railways, but that's fine.
Actually it does. Consider "bribe" versus "campaign donor." "Execution" versus "murder". Many cases exist. But that is beside the point.

Laws have to be specific, and that is the issue. If you can perform a minimal treatment to the object under the law, then it can be transmuted under the law and the spirit of the regulation is sidestepped.

I don't really understand this comparison. Point of having a service is not only exposing computation - more usually, it's exposing a centralized database. How is library useful in this context? Unless, the author is talking about writing, for example, a number multiplication library vs number multiplication service... but then the advice is obvious.

EDIT: also, this stuff about accessing memoty, denying access at runtime makes me think that it was written for a different times. Nowadays, who creates new stuff that's not isolated by VM or container layer?

I always remembered how I hated unions for taking all those dues, but then I actually joined one and it was like 30 bucks a paycheck on a 3k paycheck, so like 1 percent. In exchange, my boss never asked me to stay late, work on weekends, or do several other categories of things that I routinely get asked now when I have no union. Additionally, I never had any issues with my job or boss doing anything illegal, but if I had, there were lawyers and reps waiting around to help me get my problems solved.

I wish I was in a union now.

Yes, the Redmond Middle School Science project called Internet Explorer, now in the dumpster of history where it always belonged, was evil.

Its over-engineered idiocy (monikers? apartment threading? quirks mode? wtf?) slowed down the development of good internet applications by decades, and caused tens of thousands of lost developer and tester hours that we can never get back.

Gates was too greedy to understand why it was a problem. Ballmer was too stupid. Now, Nadella finally figured out that developers might stop hating his company if he finally flushed that toilet. And flush it he did.
