In other words, you can sue the commenter, but not the platform hosting the comment.

In the EU, there's an opposite precedent (Delfi AS v.

Of course, that's not a law, but it might impact future EU-wide laws that aim to regulate that sort of thing.
> I think it took a while for the Ballmer effect to kick in at Microsoft.

Tim Cook is about 2/3rds through of Ballmer's tenure. If you were to take a bet today, do you see Tim Cook doing the direction of Ballmer?
Also Microsoft lost all relevance in being a mobile phone platform under Ballmer. I can't think of a similar blunder from Cook, maybe losing mindshare from creative professionals, but that's a much smaller market that Apple could be making a comeback in.

I’ve been thinking more about the navigation of their little helicopter.

On earth were used to being able to use GPS for route planning. If you could use this process in reverse to constantly determine ones position in 3D space above the surface using stored satellite imagery with a downward facing camera cross referenced with whatever gyro / accelerometer based positioning they’re using I wonder if there’d be any benefit. Maybe what they’ve got already is sufficient for anything you’d want to do in the near future.

Oh, beautiful Spain, playing experiments with an unemployment rate of 16.13%...

Yup. They knee-capped Quest in a really dumb way. I'm not upgrading my Quest 1 until I can buy something equivalent without forced cloud login bullshit. If I can't, I guess I'll just stay out of VR. From what I see, this is not just nerds being nerds, a lot of Quest's current user base feels the same.

I'm also hoping general population is slowly discovering the flip side of shared cloud logins for unrelated services. Connecting Facebook to your Quest doesn't just mean you can VR-chat with your Facebook friends now. It also means that if Facebook automoderator doesn't like you, your Quest will turn into an expensive paperweight. Or if you break Quest ToS, you may lose your whole Facebook account with it.

Here it is again, the subtle but completely unfounded nuclear power astroturfing.

Nuclear fission power is economically unfeasible and completely incapable of "saving the climate". It's a complete ruse.

Any new reactor type you'd build now would go online the EARLIEST 10-15 years from now. And then they will never be profitable and you still have no actual proper solution to waste management other than some fluffy marketing slides.

Yea, letting physics run it's course will take 100,000 years too with a plutonium half-life of 24,000 years. A country like Germany doesn't have vast desert lands to store dangerous materials *reliably* for that long. It's also not willing to just dump it in third world countries or international waters.

It's a mistake here to buy only one.

If you're going to buy semi-complex hardware that is at a price-point that makes it unserviceable, and you really like that model, you really aught to buy two or more.

I've done this with tools. Aldi cycle their stuff out faster than most so having a second means I don't have to stop and deal with an obnoxious return policy (I'd rather a cheap tool repaired; cash doesn't get work done). If they can't fix the first, I have big pile of spare parts to fix the second one myself.

Well, with a reduced work week, some jobs ( mostly service jobs that need to provide full coverage) would require more workers to cover the whole week, so i really don't see the issue here with regards to unemployment.
Not this. The idea is you don't allow any humans. I'm not fishing for anything either.
The real problem here is that to get your raw materials to produce your wine as cheap as possible (think your BOM), you have only one option: high density, low manual work and very high levels of chemicals to compensate the high density.

This results directly into degraded ecosystems because you basically use the land as a life-less substrate to produce your grapes and all the chemicals which are not degraded or bound to the grapes are ending in the soil.

That afterwards you do a lot a chemical work to convert the grapes into wine is another story.

Note that my salary is coming from both sides. I work as consultant to both the big agro companies and the ones doing food additives and fragrances.

Everybody on the line know very well the real cost of a $2 bottle of wine. But the buyers do not see that on the label only the money they have in the pocket or not.
Why do you think so? I didn't even post any link. I just explain my idea and I'm trying to get a feedback if it would be interesting for someone.
Just pasting here the actual points because this "lol they couldn't tell White from Red" is BS

> The most important is that the subjects in this experiment were not, in fact ‘wine experts’. They were undergraduate enology students. They are probably more knowledgeable about wine than the average person, but they were not in any way ‘experts’, or even ‘professionals’.

> It’s simply not true that “Every single one, all 54, could not tell it was white.” as is frequently stated. Even Brochet doesn’t claim that, saying “About 2 or 3 per cent of people detect the white wine flavour”, and the paper that is frequently cited shows that indeed some people gave ‘white wine’ descriptions to the dyed-red wine.

> But even more important than those errors, the study never demonstrated that people can’t tell red wine from white.

And more important to me, if you're really misleading people, your results will be all over the place.

If you want to know if people can tell white from red wines (they can, but just in case), do a blind test, but don't mislead them.
Aren't fewer workdays better for employment, because more people can be employed? I'm guessing it's more complicated, but is there some clear tendency?
Most electricity production in Brazil is renewable, at much higher levels than most first world countries, including yours most likely. https://i.imgur.com/gMBJEQG.png

That's quite deluded. Elon Musk has done less than nothing to make moving to another planet feasible, despite all his grandomania dreams. We are thousands of years away from any notion of expansion beyond Earth. Even if he were to magically get a handful of people living on Mars (he won't) that is not going to bring us even an inch closer to something like a sustainable Mars colony.

And no, human beings do not naturally "consume and consume endlessly". In fact, the vast majority of those 8 billion people (say, 7.9 billion of them, or maybe 7.5 billion if you want) are consuming a fraction of the total resources. The vast majority of climate change is due to the richest ~10-20% in the richest countries on Earth. One way or another, this state of affairs will end in the next 50 years at most. Hopefully it will end in a more egalitarian society that respects the environment.

Just one example: the Minix kernel is 'root aware' which makes it hard - or even impossible - to switch out the root file system while the OS is running. The same goes for the process scheduler/interrupt handler which is a 'hard' part that can never be upgraded while the system is running, and is responsible for a fair amount of latency on the way from interrupt to the actual handler in the device driver (and not the stub). Device drivers that can not handle interrupts directly are going to be (much) slower than device drivers than can handle the interrupts themselves.

By the way, my Minix knowledge is somewhat dated, I always thought that it had huge potential if the 'holy houses that Andrew built' would have been allowed to be pushed over, even if that would come at the price of POSIX compatibility, which as far as I'm concerned is overrated if it is the thing that holds us back from having an ultra reliable field upgradeable operating system. The big problem with POSIX is 'fork', it more or less assumes that you're looking at UNIX and fork was a kludge all along that just happened to solve a couple of nasty little problems that have to do with file descriptors. It's one of those 'leaky abstractions' that end up haunting you forever if you do not address them immediately and decisively. But because POSIX compliance is what got Minix established in the first place it became very hard to let go of that. Plan 9 suffers from the same issue by the way.

I'm all for reliability over performance, unfortunately the rest of the world seems to disagree with me.
How else would you solve the unemployment problem? By giving more hours of work to those who already have a job?
Less working hours per person definitely means more workers are required in order to fill a given amount of work hours.

I'm not sure it's viable in today's financial climate, but I guess we're about to find out.
We already have a surplus of people in developed nations. Having more people doesn't change anything.
Your story also describes my personal disillusionment with technology more generally. Not with just VR, but with technology in general.

All the time, I see ideas and technologies that have huge unrealized potential - they could be so much more - but they aren't, because they're being purposefully crippled by the companies who develop them, patent the shit out of them[0], and proceed to milk people for all they're worth using that tech. Everything is exploitative. And what about all that potential? Companies see it, alright - they wax about it in their marketing materials. Then they make sure it doesn't happen.

--

[0] - While intended to protect from other alike competitors, this has a side effect of shutting off anyone who would like to develop technologies up to their potential.
In this case, "hard" doesn't mean it's an unsolved problem with a lot of complicated variables, it means "expensive". If you charged your commenters $1 for 10 posts you'd be able to throw batches of comments into MTurk and clean out most of the garbage.
It seems that we're slowly heading to a place where salaries are going to be much lower, because of less working hours and loss of the kinds of jobs that paid a good living wage.

Or those same jobs will just pay a lower salary.

It could be good or bad.

The good part is, less buying. Less shopping. Smaller homes. Lower needs. etc.

The bad part, all of that part of the economy that was depending those incomes is going to have to transition to something else.

Maybe it could lead to more people moving to lower cost countries... OR... more people living like how people live in Bangkok, Beijing or Bali.

Either way, the end the middle class as we know it in America is quickly coming to an end.
I feel some of the negative comments miss the point, at least of a way of structuring reporting extracts and presenting them in an easy to maintain way for services: you are signing a contract with the data team and taking on their concerns with an approach like this. Your unit tests fail if you are about to break the contract with a change, and you discover it upfront, rather than after rolling out a new service that changes a definition unexpectedly.
Yes, exactly, that's what I meant. The problem in general is as you say, but I was talking about MOND-based theories, as that was the context.

By contrast, the FAANG workweek is 8-14 hours, 5-7 days a week with the possibility of being on-call for emergencies and contacted after hours.

Working 72 hr/week while making $200k/yr is only $53/hour.

To get to $80/hour would require a salary of $300k. $100/hr is $375k. Oh, and taxes because not an owner of capitalist assets.
This is explained in paragraph four of the article.
People don’t like to kill, and if they do, there’s a cost. The person doing the killing has to decide to kill someone and live with that.

Businessmen in Spain sees the worker as another machine in the factory and a lot of them work actively to fired the workers that try to unionize. I talk from experience having worked in 2 some what small (50 to 150 workers), family-owned companies, where in one, the union representative was the son of the owner and in the other there wasn't any union because 2 years before I entered, the person who tried to create a union office in the company was fired and reported to the police with false pretences.

You have exceptions of course but the vast majority are very very conservative with ideas between right wing or extreme right wing.

My opinion is that the wealth, like in any place, is very very bad balanced.
Studies are viewed as useless, because they won't give you a good job or because there are some part of society that sees them as something not cool.
We don't have a solid STEM-based industry like for example Germany or France.
Also, We are highly dependant from tourism, being tourism the largest sector in our GDP (in some regions is the 25% )and we don't re-invesment that wealth in R&D, which is arround 1,25%.

Plus political instability from various populism movements is the perfect mix for a country stuck in time. Without any project of future.

I started playing Roblox back in 2009 as a 10 year old. I think you're wrong; to this day I still remember spending time in skateparks and Heli-Wars and Person299's Minigames.

In particular I remember playing Arsenal in early freshmen year of high school, only to find out that it became one of the largest games on the platform by the time I checked back in on Roblox my senior year of college.

Simultaneously, there are fewer jobs due to automation.

Growing up in Spain, I am currently living back here after living over 14 years in Germany and spending most of my working life there. I am half Spanish and half German and have a good perspective on both mentalities in general. In my opinion the problem in Spain is definitely the mindset towards work and the way it is perceived. Here work seems to always be some tedious chore that keeps you away from social live. I do not know many people who truly enjoy their job.

A couple of years ago my girlfriend came from Spain to live with me in Germany and got a job. After the first day she came home at 10:00 pm (work ended at 6:00 pm). I was worried that they were making her work to hard the first day, but when she came home she told me she just stayed late doing nothing for the new boss seeing her put in the effort... That really really reminded me why I left Spain to work in Germany. I just do not get that kind of attitude, when I confronted her about it she told me that this behavior was expected in all the places she worked at. Leaving early (or even on time), even if you are effective and have done you work is frowned upon by both coworkers and managers. Paradoxically people might even consider you lazy.

So I am really expectant to see how this experiment turns out and if it achieves a change in mentality or if it is just a way to spend tax money and make some “friends of friends” rich as politicians like to do in Spain by subsidizing companies that once the state money runs out go back to normal.
Interesting idea. It reminds me of the fact I'd like to work full time on climate breakdown, but don't because those jobs pay a lot less. After all, trying to buy a house!

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to me, the other bidder would _also_ prefer to work doing good in the world, but takes the highest paying job instead, so they can outbid me.
The tradeoff you show between compression ratio and compression speed is a misleading one.

The slow compression speed only takes place once (when compressing), while the saved bandwidth due to a better compression ratio is saved continuously.
Yep.. it's crazy how muricans seem to think everything has to be scheduled around taking and picking up kids to/from school.

Around where I live, kids take themselves to school or use a bus. School can start any time between 8:00 and 10:00, sometimes even later. School can end any time between 12:00 and 16:00. Parents don't need to schedule their work and life around it.
