Currently wealthy countries can very well collapse.

Maybe in 50 years people will want to move to South America, not the USA.

Your average customer may very well be 50x wealthier, but they may be in Costa Rica instead of the Silicon Valley
> The issue is that you're coming in with guns blazing, [...] it does violence to the thread.

It's frankly a bit weird that you think the claim that [we should eliminate people who we see as inferior] doesn't do this.
Sure, but people like that are expensive and make too much trouble.

How about we give you a 23-year old recent grad instead?
No task is too easy. For easy, we need to jump down to Python. Even C is too easy to learn but difficult to write.

Zig is kind of in between Go and Rust in terms of the learning curve. In terms of programming, it is in between C and Rust. But it is simple enough. The documentation as I said for the stdlib isnt that great right now as I said.
ah, in my region, i think the two phenomena are called ‘sweet tooth’ and ‘brain freeze’

former is sharp dental nerve pain, latter is blunt cranial agony

not sure which the paper is referring to vs bbc though. both are quite unpleasant.

wish investment in medical research and therapy development would prioritize substantial impact on a humanitarian basis rather than through cold and uncaring capitalism.

maybe it was an idiosyncratic discovery, but come on. big whoop. hard to relate with folks who jump on this as an opportunity to build a whole enterprise around.
I think 100% of the (tech, 3D printer, and dad jokes) Facebook groups I joined after they recommended them. If 36% went searching for these extremist groups, that seems likely way higher than the platform average to me, but in any case that comparison needs to be made I think for the datapoint to be meaningfully interpreted.
As an interviewee, I’ll try to bring this point up if I ever got stuck, thanks !
Meanwhile, on a platform with a generally stable binary driver ABI alike Windows, even drivers for a prototype MSM8960 phone (Snapdragon S4) released in 2012-2013 will still run on 2021 versions of ARM32 Windows (insofar as these are still being built and released, of course).
Let's compare literal genocide and live organ harvesting with what happened to George Floyd and a riot in the Capitol building. Smart.

He's never adequately explained from what I can tell why he made those statements in the first place. If he could provide that additional insight, I think it would help others evaluate the sincerity of his apology.

The question that I have for Mr. Stallman is a very frank one: were his remarks in support of pedophilia designed to persuade Mr. Epstein to donate part of his $500 million estate to the Free Software Foundation, much like he observed role-models such as MIT president Rafael Reif do for Mr. Epstein when Dr. Reif sent Mr. Epstein a personally signed thank-you note for his donation to the Media Lab, or colleagues like Martin Nowak do for Mr. Epstein when Dr. Nowak created a web page on a university website and an office in his department for a convicted child-rapist in exchange for millions in donations to his academic program at Harvard.
China is still the single greatest threat to world peace, from Tiananmen Square to ethnic cleansing, the government of China is a despotic regime of murderers. Anything the west can do to combat this, it’s a good thing, and shame on any American brand that puts profits over human rights.
BPF for storage: an exokernel-inspired approach
"The framework was proposed to regard the performance of an economy by the extent to which the needs of people are met without overshooting Earth's ecological ceiling. The main goal of the new model is to re-frame economic problems and set new goals. In this model, an economy is considered prosperous when all twelve social foundations are met without overshooting any of the nine ecological ceilings. This situation is represented by the area between the two rings, considered by its creator as the safe and just space for humanity."

You probably don't. But a serious security vulnerability could be discovered that lets apps get root. So yes, it likely is fine, but I want a promise from my manufacturer that I will be able to keep using my phone for 5-10 years. I want to take the guaranteed lifetime into account when I am buying a phone.

Ideally it would be legally binding such that I can get a refund if they don't uphold it.
Once you have the systems set up, you can do almost anything. Telegram, Slack, IFTTT, Email, SMS, Whatsapp, Instagram, Signal, even a custom command that connects to an SSH server on your phone through a VPN connection (eg Tailscale) and changes your lockscreen wallpaper to “new device connected with MAC 1E:AT:DE:AD:BE:EF”

Exactly. Putting these collections is a boon.

My partner does fine art painting (portraits, still life), and has created many a master copy. Many times actually working in a museum every day with all the gear for weeks. (Patrons love this novelty.)

We've ordered many a high quality print selected from online collections for further study.
No one’s comparing those things.
The official binary Vulkan drivers for Mali IP have been fairly buggy for a while (especially comparing to Adreno), it's somewhat of a shame that it's not possible to bundle open Mesa drivers built for Android with an app due to the dynamic linker's enforcement of an "only use supported APIs" policy through namespacing.
It's not so much angry toddlers, who at least can be placated with ice cream and a Pixar movie.

It's more government officials and contractors with their reputation and money on the line. In the case of government officials, it's not necessarily unmarked-bills-in-a-paper-bag-under-the-table kind of corruption, but the more pernicious "revolving door" of government/private industry kind.
Hitler modeled the Putsch after Mussolini's march on Rome, which had been "successful". He had reason to believe that it would work.

The Putsch included actual military figures like General Ludendorff.

Hitler tried to win over Kahr (Staatskommissar with dictatorial powers), Colonel Seisser and and General Lossow.

Kahr, however had his own plan with Seisser and Lossow to install a nationalist dictatorship without Hitler and refused.

I don't think these events are comparable, since fortunately all U.S. military figures condemned the capitol event.
If I start my day with something spicy, my palate often hurts. Switching to something cool and sweet, often takes the pain/discomfort away. Anecdotal.
Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve also lost a lot of respect for the press over the past few years. Their desire for clicks are taking precedent over objectivity.

That said, the press shouldn’t be restricted just because they do a bad job.
Ford, GM, Dodge have made an absolute killing in SUVs and trucks over the last several years.

Ford sold about 900,000 F150 in 2019 alone. That's not even counting 250s and higher.

And these trucks and SUVs are WILDLY profitable!

And they are made with union labor...

I just don't get it since "the uaw people literally avoid any kind of work"

How do they build millions of trucks and SUVs then?
Prolog feels like imperative programming, but with a special kind of depth first search through options built-in to the language. Mercury feels like a functional language, but with the same depth-first search built-in.

I like some of the semi-determinism or non-determinism, it’s sometimes a really natural way of specifying part of a problem. But it’s only magic sauce part of the time.

I see so much self-regard from journalists, so much concern about their own safety, their freedom, their economical well being, the competitive threats they feel from substack. I have yet to see a single article from any main stream journalist accept a shred of responsibility for their part in eroding public trust and inciting division and hatred. It is as of all the people who had integrity or any sense of duty left the profession. We live in a sea of mis-information, we desperately need help making sense of the deluge of nonsense coming our way every day and the societal organ responsible for that spends its time contributing to the chaos or flattering itself. As far as I am concerned main stream journalism has sold its sold and it cannot die fast enough.
HN like most of Silicon Valley is infected with Chinese disinformation, and well, spies And propaganda pawns.
> This is what's funny to me about the HN crowd. Saying they won't take jobs in Embedded Software/Hardware or the Video-Games industry because WLB is poor and it "pays peanuts" but at the same time preaching that 'someone' should work making stuff in factories, where salaries and WLB is actually poor. Not them of course, but 'someone' should do it.

Nice straw man you set up there. A company can make these things by building machines to do it. Funny thing: European companies are really good at making machines to do such things.

I think this is what they're getting at:

>> The scientists are not recommending DIY treatments though. People who are experiencing any worrying toothache should still see a dentist, they stress.

I don't think that's a long-term solution for everyone, though. I have had painful sensations when drinking ice water or eating ice cream my whole life. My dentist sees no apparent reason for this: I don't have significant gum disease, and I've never had a cavity so I would imagine my enamel has been in good shape. If there's something else specific my dentist can look for to see why I have the pain, or something better than Sensodyne, then it's new to me and my dentist.
This is interesting, this indicates China may be thinking about taking military action in years to come.
ChrisLomont. You miss the point. Real Estate taxes to the city PLUS Business taxes to the city PLUS taxes on profits to the IRS and some states.
The object is to create a lower tax regime for those that buy and live there, to in time drive out rent seekers.

As it is large numbers of properties are bought and banked into short term rentals, BNB etc. City rules are easy to evade via careful client vetting. These people want to defeate the laws of supply demand via such artificial shortages.
I like that I don't have to spend the time debugging trivial problems like these in Rust though. The compiler catches them for me, and I get more time and brain power to spend debugging nontrivial problems. It adds up.
It's worth remembering that all many of these companies did is make the weakest, most inconsequential PR statements possible. They didn't take any kind of action against China, they didn't boycott Chinese goods or even Xinjiang cotton, they didn't even take a position on whether Xinjiang had slave labour. All they did was acknowledge several years ago that there were allegations of slave labour in Xinjiang and that, if they were true, that went against what they stood for - and that was enough for the Chinese government to effectively shut down their operations and sales in China.
The latter, I think you mean.
At -O2 or above, gcc emits Wreturn-local-addr.
How do they reconcile these two things:

>> One common home remedy - clove oil - contains a chemical called eugenol that blocks this TRPC5 pathway.

>> The scientists are not recommending DIY treatments though. People who are experiencing any worrying toothache should still see a dentist, they stress.

They want to develop a product, but discourage an existing remedy. They also want to develop a product but say you should see a dentist to get the damage repaired.
Back in the late eighties a colleague of mine was making a game for the Atari ST and he purposely put in some time wasting code in the game loop so that he had to work against a smaller budget which gave him some contingency for later on when he needed some extra cycles.

I agree with this, and have seen it first-hand.

Worse, I have seen not enough people run for open council positions, so anybody willing to fill out the paperwork can ‘win’ without anyone in town voting.
Germany's workforce in automotive and many other industries is HIGHLY unionized.

I've never heard of these people being lazy, not wanting to work etc.

In fact German engineering is the envy of the world!

VW, Mercedes, BMW, Porsche all German engineered and manufactured by heavily unionized workforces!

Sounds like your anecdotal bad experience with unions is not representative of reality.

And FWIW I can list you just as many terrible anecdotes about how awful business managers are...

Yes, exactly that. I got onto windows phone with 8.0 and it was very nice to use even if app support was lacking. I steadily saw it decline. 8.1 took away much of what made it unique in the hope of getting better app support (narrator: it didn’t) but still remained fast and stable. Windows phone 10 was an outright disaster, slow and buggy, with no advantage to the user.

Maybe microsoft was always doomed in the mobile space because of app support, but they did a lot of things wrong that sealed the deal.
Sweden is famous for its bone-headed bureaucracy and living by strict rules.

Government in Sweden just cannot be wrong, be it immigration policies, gender policies or anything they do. If you disagree with them you are not progressive enough.

One more thing. While government is migrant-welcoming (at least on paper) the population is extremely nationalist, not like in Japan, but not too far from it.

Otherwise it is a very nice country.

This year, last year and many years before that, brave journalists got up in the morning to report the news, to inform the public. They never made it home. They were arrested and killed because of the work they do.

150 million people read a newspaper every day in India alone. Your "whatabboutism" based on Substack, a tool that few outside the US bubble even know or care about, is really missing the mark here. I've lost count on how many massively complex investigations I've helped journalists work on to expose everything from war crimes to Trump's finances. Sometimes dozens of people working on it at a time, multiple countries, a few different news outlets, skills ranging from investigation to IT, with centuries of experience between everyone involved, over months or years. No way in hell a glorified blog is going to replace that.
Working in a call center is the most dehumanizing and abusive white-collar job that's still legal in the West. The company goals are to extract maximum number of billable hours from their clients at minimum costs. People are expected to burn out after few months and leave. It's a job that's taken only by either young and naïve, or when your only other alternatives are illegal and/or... icky.
Maybe it would be good to remove any tax reliefs or ability to influence for charities, then "charitable" spirit of wealthy would be seen as truly is. I guess that could cause better wealth distribution in future.

Ok, let's not talk semantics then. Let's talk essence. If these metrics portray this country as a "good enough" place for journalism, then these metrics are of no value, because the reality is: mainstream journalism is broken to the point of causing harm to the citizens. Soft bribe, hard bribe, little corruption, much corruption... Does it matter? Not to me, the end result is bad. I don't care if journalists willingly play the government's game or not.

Maybe I'm not the intended audience for this report

> Are there more examples you left out? Because freedom does not preclude the susceptibility to bribery.

Yes there are multiple reports of police preventing indepedent journalists from covering hot controversial topics. There are reports of that on the site itself
Another memorisation aid I accidentally observed was with using different pens/inks for note taking.

I started taking an minor interest in different pens at some point, and have about a dozen pens I switch between
(a mix of cheap fountain pens and rollerballs mostly).

I found that I started remembering which pen or which colour ink I wrote certain things with, it seemed to add yet another memory link to whatever I was writing.
Maybe it's one of those things where someone mixed up the centuries. The page states "XVIIe siècle" (17th century), if someone somewhere mixed up "16th century" (which is correct) with "the 1600s", that could explain the error.

Personally I'm really not a fan of using the "century" notation, and in my native language it's never used.
And Twitter, FB, etc. was hosting the same sort of messages. We all know why Parker was removed; it’s right-leaning users (i.e. the great unwashed) are deemed unworthy of being part of the conversation.

It’s not surprising Jan 6 happened; the parallels to the French Revolution are uncanny.
> Going all the way back to the cultural revolution, China's goal was to unite the world under communism. They have been the antagonist from the start.

Wrong and uninformed. They've not invaded another country since Vietnam in the 1979s, they're more interested in expanding their soft power. Also they haven't followed the communist ideology for a long time, abandoning it when Deng opened up China.

> America has a huge rap sheet of bad shit it's done, but at least in Western democracies we make (slow) progress towards being more moral and equitable societies. I'm convinced China goes the other direction.

In fact as a non-US observer I think the US has made negative progress on democracy thanks to Trump. Thanks to that China is now doubling down on its version of democracy.

> And tbh while I don't want a war with China, I don't think we should just accept their actions and move on.

Big powers will always get away with shit like this. When George Bush needed to get oil out of Iraq, he had to convince the UN security council that the war was not illegal. China helped them on this.
> That isn't an accident. Germany and most of Europe have no tech sector to speak of as a direct consequence of their labor and regulatory policies. The EU is a huge economic block, comparable in scale collectively to the US or China, and it has a highly educated population. And yet, it has near zero presence in the most important industry of the 21st century. That's a staggering indictment of their economic policy. 2nd and 3rd tier US cities have more tech than Europe does.

If I have to choose between having one of the two relevant industrial robot companies in the world (Kuka, the other would be Yaskawa, also not from the US or China), the market leader in automation systems, pneumatic systems, etc. (Festo) and "companies making money by systematic privacy violations" (Hello Facebook, Google et. al.) I know which I'd rather have. And which industry is more important.

I think the EU is doing just fine here. But thanks for the concern.
I disagree. It should be a free market. If the employees don’t like their treatment they should leave and take a different job. I am sure there is a UAW job out there to be had.

The most likely outcome from this is that Tesla moves more and more production out of a California and into a more business friendly state, such as Texas.
Amazon doesn’t come out of this looking good either, but it’s pretty bad for a Senator to go around telling people that she’ll break up your company if you “heckle” her with “snotty tweets”.

Hack of a CEO of such a top public company deserves to have his speaking abilities scrutinized. And totally appropriate to spend 15% of the article on this and conclude one area where MoC's across the idealogical spectrum appeared united on.

Besides, explaining away Zuck's weakness as some kind of courtroom tactic is probably what was meant by superficial and/or extraneous.
Yea I phrased this wrong, you're right of course. What I meant to say was that the highly urbanized areas in which these 200 year old apartment blocks stand were already urbanized back then, while newer apartment blocks are probably in areas that were pastures or villages back then. So it wouldn't have made sense to build high density apartment blocks there 200 years ago. European capitals are some of the few places that had this kind of urbanization 200 years ago.
Well, my point isn't really about whether I care or not. Any rational actor wouldn't give any weightage to celebrities supporting an authoritarian regime, simply because they don't have any other options. (The "option" to keep quiet can be taken away any time. Although I agree that this particular instance wouldn't warrant such measures.)
The entire US payments system is a co-op payment network[1]. The Federal Reserve is owned by its member banks and they handle clearing for some absurdly large number of transactions. They use a slightly different nomenclature, but pragmatically it's a member owned co-op.

Ford sold 900,000 F150s in 2019.

Toyota sold about 336,000 Camrys.

They sold a little over 110,000 Tundras.

About 200,000 Tacomas.

And Ford gets GIANT markups on the F150s, they are super profitable for them and the best selling truck for many many years now. Toyota, Honda aren't even close to American truck and SUV sales.

So explain to me again how US autos aren't competitive with Japanese brands?

Absolutely thanks to FSF and GNU, who started this all. And their pedantry is the gold standard people should strive for. Not everyone can achieve such software purity, but everyone should know that it is the right thing.
It seems like Apple is being enough that they can get updates for their blobs, or are writing their own blobs. Although even then there are no promises. Maybe if a critical vulnerability was found in a Qualcomm blob Apple wouldn't be able to patch it. So in practice they do very well despite containing Qualcomm parts, but it isn't clear how much of this is just luck.
