> Realizing that is the first step to move forward in this new world.

Right, we've become disposable. Up until the computer era we were part of the equation. We went to war, to vote, and we paid taxes - making ourselves useful for state and capital.

Now, they don't need us anymore. We are a burden for the state (universal basic income) and capital plays its own game (high frequency trading).

Samuel Butler was right in Erewhon (1872): "Advertising is the way we grant power to the machine"

AI is powered by advertising, by the data we voluntarily feed into the machine. For the false reward of shining the ego.

Yes, we must admit, as a specie we are highly disappointing. Instead of lifting ourselves we've created a monster above us.
I had mixed reviews with Japanese auction site - one item arrived with good shipping, the other item did not and had freight shipping I believe. It was not a big deal to me but I would give them a low pass because there are no other options. This may be because of corvid.
It is GREAT idea but your pricing is very interesting :( I think you should consider for bootstrapped new SaaS products.

NetGate spends a lot on FreeBSD development, which is great, but they also spend a lot of time running smear campaigns against people who offend them, which is ridiculous. They even started /r/opnsense on Reddit just to post shit-talking memes, and camp on the namespace to this day.

The Math That Explains Why Net Worth Goes Crazy After the First $100k
Maybe a little harsh :-)

At launch, all trades are 100% liquid and you are free to BUY/SELL as many shares within the limits indicated. Each trade moves the price up/down 0.01. I do not consider that to be necessarily worthless however.

The share price and trades reflect actual member activity and sentiment. It's an indication of interest, that was not available before. Why would you buy shares of another members profile? Why would they buy shares of your profile?

Until today, you could follow or like. Now, you have the option to invest. However, you are free to not invest any of your "trust tokens" [superficial points]. You could, if you like, only use SELLFF to perform discovery and direct communication of other members who may choose to participate in trades.

We thought the trade feature would be an interesting experiment, to see how people would react if they "could" invest in each other, just like stocks. This is a first version and we will need to see how things develop.

I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Is exactly the feedback I was hoping for as we work to build this marketplace solution.

From a state security perspective, the "Balkanisation" of the internet makes perfect sense. You wouldn't allow huge numbers of unknown agents from other countries in, to spend their time trying to influence your people, yet there is a free and open internet with a practically direct connection the population's brains, and very little way to know who is doing the influencing.
They are probably referring to policies or laws or just culture that make it more difficult to thrive if you don't have 2 parents, one male, one female. It's obviously not an actual, literal requirement, hence the quotes.
This debate makes me wonder what it'd be like to have a keyboard layout in which the num pad is in the middle of the keyboard, such that on a qwerty keyboard Q-T, A-G, Z-V are on one side and Y-P, H-L, B-M on another, with the numbers in the middle (separated by a buffer space).

I know this sounds crazy, but IME the worst part of keyboard ergonomics on mac laptops is that my hands are much closer together than my shoulders are; widening to shoulder width makes for much more comfortable typing.

I'm sure nobody will crazy enough to build a laptop like this, but it makes me wonder...
RVs also use solar panels as one of the main sources of energy. But I have learned to avoid those flexible solar panels (that Sonos is seemingly using as well) because they do not last a long time. They break usually long before 10 years are over. Also it should be noted that solar panels lose efficiency the hotter they get. Solar panels that are directly glued on the surface have no ventilation and thus get hot, lose efficiency and the heat also does not help to make them last longer. Of course, properly mounted panels you find on most RVs cause a bit more drag. There are military grade flexible solar panels available that don’t have most of the mentioned side effects but they are like 5x more expensive.
Yeah thats kinda the point.
Yeah no, we should use this money to fund energy research. Trying to woo idiots is a stupid game already won by youtube, online advertising and TikTok.
I can't answer to the cable's legality, and I too was surprised the first time that I saw it. But, not the second.

The cable guide there is there so that prams etc can get over it without much trouble, and so that pedestrians don't trip.
> Structs/value types can be mutable, records are not.

Fair point about record fields not being reassignable (not the same as immutable for others reading this).

> And as far as I know, while records have a sane default equals defined, they are still identity objects in that they are passed by reference.

Well, sure. All non-primitives are passed by reference. That doesn't stop them from being referred to as value types.

But in light of your first point, I agree that choosing a totally new term probably makes sense.
"The GPU maker seemed confident that its restrictions couldn’t be defeated, even claiming it wasn’t just a driver holding back performance. “It’s not just a driver thing,” said Bryan Del Rizzo, Nvidia’s head of communications, last month. “There is a secure handshake between the driver, the RTX 3060 silicon, and the BIOS (firmware) that prevents removal of the hash rate limiter.”"[1]

Funny how it turned out to just be a driver thing.

I don't think this will work. I can spend 8 euro for spotify subscription, but if i had to pay for albums, I'll buy maybe two a month, then resort to piracy. I don't think this is very unethical, bc even if there is no piracy, I still won't buy more than two albums. I'll listen to free music on soundcloud and YouTube, fm radio, whatever, but I won't pay more.
Even if they knew that it will be broken quickly (which I also assume they did), it wasn't still necessarily lip service; even slight deterrence against miners during launch probably helped to get more cards in the hands of gamers, which was the intention. Of course it is impossible to know how big of an impact it really had, but I'd like to think it had at least some for the so important launch day orders.

I agree on both counts, but I think (constructive) criticism is warranted in a mistake. To absolve Jason of all responsibility would be to possibly not provide that useful feedback of why not to do this the same way next time.

Hopefully I accurately expressed that as what I was trying to convey. I don't think Jason is close to even half the problem in this case, just the small spark that allowed it to continue and explode (continue because is started with a substandard implementation to begin with). At the same time, he's also the one easier to critique constructively because the other party is hard to relate to (I'm not one to jump to conspiracy theories about implicit efforts to defame).

Shapiro is nearly universally reviled by the left and right. It's hard even for an open minded person to not see him as openly racist and misogynistic.
It’s a bit late for that. Not sure if it is too late though. Without changing a few essential philosophies such as consumerism the whole world is dependent on China’s manufacture strength. Without scooping heavily into the resouces of the top 1% who benefited most from
globalization this whole thing is also impossible to achieve. Without taxing the corporations a higher rate the middleclass won’t be able to recover. I don’t see anything being done about this.

This was the entrypoint to Firefox for millions of people.

Unlike today, back then Firefox had a clearly expressive value proposition: Use this! It has tabs! It will change how you browse the web!

Now the only value proposition is some wishy-washy privacy stuff that is much harder to sell people on, even if it's in their best interest.

I have to say, it's been great to read these posts as they came out.

Resources that vulgarize compiler internals are incredibly hard to find. Even though I already had a general idea what instruction selection and register allocation were, seeing them laid out it fine details really helped me get a better grasp of what makes the compiler tick.

It will be seen whether or not crypto is a good investment for inflation. In the short term, I think it is.

In the long term I think inflation devours the world. When the stability of the US goes, so does the world.
I don’t want a score associated with my name, so I wouldn’t use your service. I wonder how many people would like to have an associated “trust” score; I mean if you are an average individual I imagine you would get an average score of, let’s say, 5 over 10... you’ll look ridiculously untrustworthy compared to someone who has a score of 9/10. At least in the real world you have a chance to prove that you could be as trustworthy as anyone; with a score that chance goes away.
If being taxed 2.5% a year counts as being "forced out," then staying in a highly productive area of land indefinitely is "forcing" people who can otherwise move to your house to stay poor. Never mind that it's the wealthy are the ones who benefit from elimination of property taxes.

It's society that makes the property valuable in the first place, so it makes sense to pay society back. The firefighters, schools, and social workers in your area need to get paid extra to account for the cost of living increases. That money should come from the people benefit the most from their services, the property owners.
Your website breaks keyboard scrolling on Firefox for me.
Reaper also came to my mind. The “everything is a track“ philosophy feels so natural to me now while other DAWs seem convoluted. I look back to my early Cubase and Samplitude days with amusement.

Also, Reaper basically never crashes for me.

The opt-in (or rather opt-out) could be a presence of user-defined constructor.

The same way as with default no-arg constructor.

Interesting note about serialization. That could also be part of the base class.
I never thought of that. Though I'm not sure if most of those machines are setup to keep something like those boards lined up. Cricut also has optical sensors to line up the board. I'm sure some of the more expensive vinyl cutters do that as well.

Also, at around $300, you would be hard pressed to find a very good traditional vinyl cutter.
Not sure if I understand the question entirely. There is no "short selling" allowed. Thus, the only shares you could sell are the shares you own.

A group of people that might deliberately attempt to manipulate the system would be relatively easy to identify. Obviously, that would not be acceptable behavior.
Agreed, it makes zero sense. And AOC is symbol of the decline of the United States.
From the article:

...wait eagerly for Jessica Watkins to take the first step on Mars

There's an unfortunate name collision, I didn't know who Jessica Watkins was so Googled her, and the top results are for a Jessica Watkins who participated in the attack on the USA Capitol... I spent a moment pondering what her link to Mars was.. but farther down the results list is NASA astronaut Jessica Watkins.

It's a shame that the astronaut has her search results cluttered by the insurrectionist. Back when I was doing online dating, I shared a name (and similar age and nearby city) with the brother of a recently convicted serial killer, searching for my name brought up articles about him... I warned potential dates that if they looked me up online, I'm not that guy (which, I suppose, is exactly what the brother of a serial killer would say).
The estimation of 15% loss of market cap due to the 2.5% cap tax is laughable. That is effectively a reverse buyback of 2.5% every year. It would leave many companies with 0 or negative profit. Any company with P/E above 40 immediately loses money. 20 has their profit chopped in half. The values of these companies would be reduced by at least 50%.

Nvidia already did this once before: their driver license specifically prohibits you from using GeForce cards in datacenters. Only Tesla-branded cards (no, not the car maker) are licensed for use in a datacenter.

The license is pretty much unavoidable, even if you're using Nouveau, because the cards won't work at all unless you give it's power-management processor an Nvidia-signed binary to run, and Nvidia won't sign Free replacements for that binary.
> using Google for search in 2000 and being amazed at how much better the results were than AltaVista and Yahoo Search.

Aaahhh. The year Google launched, a friend and I were sitting next to each other, at our PCs. Both of us were techie types and into innovative stuff, although working in a software services bigco at the time.

I casually said to him:
"I came across this new search engine a few days ago while browsing for interesting stuff. They say they are fast(er than others)."

Gave him the URL. He typed it in, ran a search, saw the results and the time, like 0.0x seconds or so. And muttered "That's fast".

It was Google.
> It feels like Docker (Inc) is becoming less and less "relevant" for each year that passes.

This is underscored for me by the fact that their latest end-user (dev) tools aren't even free software any longer. They started off being unixy as hell, doing one thing and doing it well (and being hackable in the process), and now they ship closed-source spyware under the exact same brand.
It's fine to reply to an allegory with "you're right, that solution doesn't work, but it doesn't preclude other solutions because of these reasons, so don't use it to make decisions".
> We are forced to use updates, even if we don't want them

This is one of the things I hate most about modern tech. People just assume newer = better. And it goes from the functional to the aesthetic, too. Not only are we often forced or heavily pressured to update, the updates don't just affect functionality behind the scenes but also the UI of things we use. I can't stand modern UI (and it's not some rosy glasses for the good old days of cuneiform). I never understood the value of Stallman's philosophy around free software and having the freedom to change it until machines I paid for and own started getting so many forced updates and downloads. Literally as I speak my windows PC just woke up from hibernate because of some updates; one major reason why I use the unvalidated version instead of giving windows any money if I can avoid it.

Do you really feel like you would be constrained by the amount of shortcuts on a keyboard without a numpad? There are so many different combinations you can make once you include control/alt/fn etc. Sure, if you're used to shortcuts on a numpad I can see how it might hinder your productivity for a few weeks. However, working on a smaller keyboard will definitely not constrain the amount of flexibility you have in the long term once you get used to other shortcuts. You might even become more productive on a smaller keyboard, because it takes less effort to stay on the home row and find keys.
Very few people who suggest using kubernetes are suggesting using kubespray or kubeadm. 99% of companies will want to just pay for a managed kubernetes cluster which, for all intents and purposes, is basically AWS ECS with more features and less vendor lockin.

It should be also known that all "run your code on machines" platforms (like ECS) have similar issues. I remember using ECS pre-fargate and dealing with a lot of hardware issues with the instance types we were on. It was a huge time sink.

> it's only quick if you deploy weave-net and call it a day

That's exactly the benifit of kube. If something is a pain you can walk up to one of the big players and get an off-the-shelf solution that works and spend very little time integrating it into your deployment. No cloudformation stacks or other mess. Just send me some yaml and tell me some annotations to set on my existing deployments.

> I would strongly discourage anyone using k8s in production unless it's hosted or you have a full team whose only responsibility is it's maintenance, provisioning and configuration

If you have compute requirements at the scale where it makes sense for you to manage bare metal it should be pretty easy for you to find budget for 2 to 5 people to manage your fleet across all regions.

> 1. Automatic device discovery and driver installation

Fun story. Had Windows 7 installed on an old HDD. Decided to build myself a new PC, so I got all the parts (completely different setup than what the HDD had been in), put them all together, connected the HDD, and powered it on to see what would happen. I was shocked to see that Windows booted just fine with the new setup, like nothing had changed...
On Mac and Windows, I have to think twice about whatever applications I install because, as you said, any application could royally screw with the system.

On iOS I can download effectively whatever I like from the App Store without worrying about it screwing up my system. That peace of mind is worth a lot of money, and is why people pay a premium to be in this walled garden.

I have no desire for for my iPhone to have the same threats presented to my Mac or PC. I also have no desire for my Mac or PC to be as locked down as my iPhone. There is room in the market for both. Trying to legislatively eliminate this option is ridiculous. If you don't like the device's security policy, then don't buy it.
Nvidia is still trying to fulfill orders for 3080 from launch day. The availability problem is real. They do not need to artificially increase the demand for their GPUs if they already are selling way more than they can deliver.

I don't know of any detailed analysis, but apparently the block is based around the patterns of memory access etherium mining produces (etherium's proof of work is designed to be memory-bandwidth limited to discourage the use of FPGAs and ASICs in mining, on the perhaps mistaken basis this would prevent the kind of centralisation present in bitcoin mining). It's quite plausible that the implementation of the proof of work could be adjusted to avoid this detection, though depending on the level of sophistication of the recognition it may have been difficult to do without impacting performance.

Very, very influential reading back in the day, and still interesting.
Recent studies show that mixed use land where solar is above crops helps. The solar cells run cooler, and the shade helps many crops avoid over exposure and reduces the amount of water needed for the crops. So both get a boost to efficiency. If using the sahara this would help make the land more productive, help provide power for desalination, and help produce food.
Modern Linux distros.

Yeah, I have so many complaints about them, but for a wide range of use-cases and hardwares, they "just work" now.

In the olden days, Linux desktops and servers, and especially laptops were much more "pets" than "livestock", needing constant attention and care to keep them working, correctly configured, and up to date. Half the time when you added a new software package or piece of hardware you'd end up breaking your X-windows configuration and need to spend six hours getting things mostly working again.

They have constructed their business model around fungible people. That has upsides and downsides.

It's good for providing employment to young people without a track record and inconsistent schedules. It's bad for making any kind of career. Even managing is only barely a living wage, despite being the overwhelming task of dealing with those fungible workers.

It's kind of useful that such a thing exists. But it's disappointing that it makes them the third largest employer in the US -- right behind Yum! Brands, who do pretty much the same thing. They turn out a product that people should consume sparingly but is instead one of the main food providers.

In other words... a lot is broken. Poorly paid, disposable employees is just a tiny piece of it.
