It's hard to tell if this post was satire or something the author genuinely believes.
People simply don't know what due diligence is. If you don't know that financial advisors are supposed to be registered with government regulators, why would you go to verify them with that regulator?

If someone unfamiliar with the workings of the financial/legal system and the Internet goes to some website that looks trustworthy to them - looks like other websites they trust, has gushing testimonials, large numbers, and TrustSeal(R) graphics proclaiming that it's Guaranteed and Secured, and there are posts on Twitter and Facebook that say this site is trustworthy, and some blogger has also rated them highly... they may believe they've done their due diligence.

They're not a fool, they're simply uninformed, and they don't know they're uninformed, and they don't know they don't know they're uninformed. The information age is changing fast - it's pretty recent in human history that you have to distrust published writing as much as you do today - and some people are unable to keep up.
I have been eyeing an EV as my next car. The company that I think is best positioned is actually Hyundai/Kia. And like Samsung, again it’s a Korean company.

If you look at the Ioniq 5, this is exactly the type of design that I’d expect to see from Apple, more so than a Tesla. This may explain the discussion of a Hyundai apple partnership. Tesla has the worst parts of the Apple experience but they don’t yet have the quality and cohesion that makes people make that sacrifice and go all in on Apple.

The ioniq 5 has displays for side mirrors, unabashedly modern headlamps, front and rear sliding seats and console, vehicle to grid able to power large appliances, augmented reality heads up display, automatic lane change, parking, and other self driving features, an instrument cluster display (headphone jack?), and best in class rapid charging. Hyundai rethought the car in the context of EVs and has done some useful things like extending the wheelbase to grow the size of the cabin.

When you compare it to the egg like Tesla Model Y, I think the Hyundai shows a more cohesive design, offers more useful features and will be a better car overall. They also have real dealerships and the possibility of maintenance, and provide a warranty better than all other manufacturers.

Tesla definitely has a much stronger brand than Hyundai, but that will change as more people see cars like the Ioniq 5 on the road.

It was just bitcoin money. He never worked an hour on them. He lost $40k which was his initial bitcoin investment in 2017.
A bank balance is different. The value of $500k in $ doesn't change. There's regulation which dictates what banks can do with that money. There's industry enforced insurance which means even if the bank goes under, you can still recover a decent chunk of that money. Putting money into a basic bank account is by law not gambling, speculation, or investment.

Intel’s Rocket Lake CPU shouldn’t have been made
I had a short infatuation with Audis (VW) until I owned them. My S5 got hauled off by Carvana on Monday and my wife's SQ5 just got traded in on a Ford yesterday.

Fit and finish was impeccable and certainly better than Tesla's, but they were constantly breaking in ridiculous ways. My advice, never ever own one outside of warranty unless it's >20 years old and you can wrench on it yourself.

YMMV of course.

I'm not on Twitter much but I've seen plenty of livestreams coming up in my YouTube feed. What I find striking about some of them is just how creative the scammers have gotten and the production values involved. During the last Starship launch there were several fake livestreams purporting to be from SpaceX. They had custom graphics and gauges and were all soliciting Bitcoin in order to "fill the tank" ahead of launch. There were literally hundreds of people on some of them and it's unlikely they were all bots. What's particularly brazen about these schemes is that the normal reporting mechanisms don't work. When YouTube looks into it hours later the damage has already been done.

> Google really missed an opportunity here to put Apple in a tough spot by just cutting it to 15%

Why would Google want to start a bidding war here? They're both monopolies and they don't compete with each other. If Google lowers the fee to 5%, that's not going to convince developers (and their customers) to leave iOS for Android; it's just going to shift revenues out of Google's piggy bank and into developers' piggy banks in the best case.

In the worst case, it will increase anti-trust scrutiny, either because Apple doesn't lower it so they're showing they don't need to compete, or they do lower it despite it being an illogical business decision (and possibly inviting lawsuits from shareholders), suggesting that there's some collusion going on to stave off anti-trust regulation.

> doesn’t hurt anything because there isn’t anything better being done with it or better ways to store it

That's a very strong statement. If you unpack it a little bit, what you are saying is there is absolutely nothing productive ("better") that could be using that energy. I don't know if that's the case. Bitcoin mining might just be the most profitable thing to do, so nothing else was attempted.
Yes, but so is having the password check happen on the client-side, which I have seen happen in two different routers' stock firmware I've owned in the past.

"The recruiter writes the job ad"

Don't let the recruiter write the job description. Let the team/devs write the job description and then recruiter can fine tune it for presentation and delivery. Yes, this adds friction and in larger companies, may not even be possible but in smaller mid-size companies, recruiters should not be writing job descriptions.

From the Oxford study[1]:

"To test for asymptomatic infections, participants in COV002 in the UK were asked to provide a weekly self-administered nose and throat swab for NAAT testing from 1 week after first vaccination using kits provided by the UK Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)."

With notes:

"In Brazil, there was no testing plan for asymptomatic infections. In South Africa, asymptomatic infections were detected from swabs obtained at study visits attended, but are not summarised here as there were only a small number of timepoints for detection of these cases."

And you can see results here [2], which includes both symptomatic and asymptomatic cases (if someone could confirm)?

From Pfizer study [3]:

"Confirmed Covid-19 was defined according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) criteria as the presence of at least one of the following symptoms: fever, new or increased cough, new or increased shortness of breath, chills, new or increased muscle pain, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, diarrhea, or vomiting, combined with a respiratory specimen obtained during the symptomatic period or within 4 days before or after it that was positive for SARS-CoV-2 by nucleic acid amplification–based testing, either at the central laboratory or at a local testing facility (using a protocol-defined acceptable test)."

And per their news release [4]:

"Data from this study, including longer term safety, comprehensive information on duration of protection, efficacy against asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection, and safety and immunogenicity in adolescents 12 to 15 years of age will be gathered in the months ahead."

It isn't even a reproduction problem. Who was bothering to verify that the letterhead was genuine?

Letterheads for identity assurance were very much part of the security theatre of their day.

In the case of domain transfers it might have really not been about security at all. Given the other dark patterns associated with that business I'd not be surprised if the requirement existed purely as a soft lock-in measure, to create friction to make transferring out more of a hassle.
I think you may also find that what's considered a Republican-friendly compromise in Massachusetts in 2006 - where Romney was actually governor - may be different from where the party of Trump and McConnell find policy to be Republican friendly.

And sell it to whom? What happens to every other currency in the world when that happens? Including all those countries who relying upon exports to the USA.

If China dropped a trillion onto the market, then they would probably get Mexican Pesos in return as the Mexicans hoovered then up to stop their currency getting into nosebleed territory.

The currency system is like a waterbed. You can't just jump on one end and not expect a systemic response and feedback that will throw you off just as hard.

Only if you're a nationalist. Many believe in cross-national or non-national collective identities, e.g. the identity of being a wage worker.

In other cases - it's groups oppressed by the state. The Catalan and Basque come to mind; and there are the Roma ("gypsies"), who are not territorially-defined.

etc.
Sure, but the opposite is also plausible.

Intel Taps Justin Long, Who Played Mac in Long-Running Apple Ads, to Promote PCs
> Due to a combination of Android user's reluctance to spend money on apps at all and the rampant piracy that Android's open model makes trivially easy

Ridiculous allegation, which doesn't take into account the wealth inequality around the world. Hundreds of millions of people in the developing world have a smartphone today due to Android; a $1000 phone, or even a $400 phone is way out of reach for them.

So the "reluctance to spend money on apps" is that it's a choice between that and food on the table.

Also, very few people are side-loading apps - the rest are too tech illiterate to make that happen.

Add: I responded to your post because you're calling Google Play a "pyramid scheme". From fisherfolk trying to sell at optimal prices to daily labourers hunting for jobs, you've no idea how many people are enabled by the platform and its apps.
Still don't buy shares in Intel I guess. None of these touted advantages make sense:

* Many designs! Yes, but one good design beats 100 half-baked ideas.

* Touch screens! Which consumers don't like.

* Convert from PC to Tablet! ... and also to fridge?

* And then a bunch of cherrypicked performance tests which seem more focused on consumer apps than on bare metal. Too easy to cheat by optimizing app X or task Y.

I'll give them gaming. They can have that.
It's not common usage, but we're supposedly talking about unspoken and unconscious bias, so why aren't any vague linguistic or metaphorical associations fair game? The argument is precisely that you _don't_ directly think of red as related to Native Americans, so it doesn't make much sense for you to say that people don't think about it like that in response. Because well, yeah, the question is whether they _unthinkingly_ make the association.

Let me paraphrase this argument, but correct me if you have a different understanding:

- 'black' and 'white' have some racial associative strength, x, which is sufficient to cause bias in other contexts. I.e. x > r for some threshold r.
- 'red' has racial associative strength kx, for some k < 1. I think we agree that k < 1, since the association is less strong. Where we differ is I am (hypothetically) saying kx > r, still, whereas you (seemingly) think kx < r.

This is a strange argument because we've never actually established the relative values of x or r. Even if we assume the first point is true, it tells us nothing about the second, because kx might still be below or above the threshold.

In fact, we _haven't_ demonstrated the first point anyway, so it's just compounding an already hand-wavey explanation of how things work. If someone can assume x > r with little evidence, why can't I assume kx > r? You might have priors on the size of k because you think 'red' is less strongly associated with race, but we know nothing about x or r, so it's pretty irrelevant. If you can hand wave the first point, you can hand wave the second. As I did.

I'd rather there was no hand-waving. But if that's the game we're playing...

Probably a naive question, but is a git server required?

Could one imagine a git repository stored as static files (e.g. in a cloud bucket), and the client then runs git the functionality.

Or, a "serverless" git, with cloud functions?

(I guess concurrent writing would be an issue.)

EDIT: I don't mean ssh'ing to a server with git installed on it. I was thinking of a git-based protocol but based on static files. But thanks for the tips.

This used to be more or less exactly my attitude but then my mom got really into QAnon nonsense and the whole Capitol raid thing unfolded and I've become a lot more sympathetic to just banning people raving about Chinese Manchurian candidates from social media. Honestly, even when alternative news sources are easily accessible nobody reads them.
People love to talk about great the web of the 90's was, and I miss it myself, but what made it work was "the price of admission" which elevated the level of both the posters (who had to understand how to make, and pay for, a web site), and the readers (who had to pay for an internet connection, and understand how to configure the connection). I think categorizing social media services as common carriers is half of it. People who shipped things over the rail line also paid money for the service. I think social media services should charge a nominal fee for the privilege of posting. This alone would keep out a lot of the spammy riff-raff, and would automatically help in taking some pressure off the moderation algorithms and content screeners. If it were up to me, I'd put limits on how large of an enterprise would be allowed to be supported with ad tech.

There are a few things that the author forgot:

- COBOL programs have history. They were changed in '77 and then the change was reverted in '79 and then again in '84. Nobody really remembers why.

- COBOL programs do what they do. They do not have specs, but if that's the way we have been computing account interests for the last 50 years, they are right. It's lawyers documenting them, not the other way around.

- COBOL programmers were often meant to be "less" than real programmers. More like junior accountants automating boring procedures, than C wizards. Wizards would not touch COBOL code with a stick. This often shows.

This said, the kind of things you could do on a IBM mainframe in the '70s (virtualization, data safety and efficiency, disaster recovery, even uptime) still run rings around the 90-core boxes with Linux that are in your datacenter racks.

It is just true. Compared to the only other major mobile app ecosystem, Android users are relatively cheap. That doesn’t mean nobody pays or that nobody who distributes an app earns money through purchases. It just means that on Android it’s a smaller group than on, say, Apple.

As someone who's owned a Volkswagen that was fun to drive but had some engineering flaws, I'm not looking to return to that experience with a Tesla. Even VW never had (as far as I know) a car that could rip its own bumper off if you managed to catch a puddle wrong. Tesla is an amazing halo brand but their cars are (IMHO) first and foremost about the driving experience including range. The regular paint flaws, seam alignment issues, bumper problem and rust issues make me think they still have some work to do for fit and finish. Don't get me wrong: they're probably the best out there for now, but they could improve. And eventually competitors may be able to offer a compelling mix of performance and range along with build quality that drains Tesla customers who were compromising. VW doesn't have to match Tesla point for point, they just have to make something good enough people will buy it instead.

Do you recall in 2016 when the mainstream left told Americans (without any factual basis) that Russians had hacked and stolen the election? That Trump was "Not Our President" and never will be?

The only difference between that lie and the one peddled by Trump and the ilk is that the GOP was confident (delusional?) enough that they brought it to the Supreme Court.
