Assuming you mean Apple Music (iTunes was an okay MP3 player/ripper, but is dead), I consider it the exception that proves the rule. Enjoy the schadenfreude of this recent Apple Music for macOS review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE8ZikfrpFU
It’s not the worst idea, but we kind of need to get the whole orbital elevator but done first before the massive planet-spanning solar array.

Truth though: I think Gundam 00 showed a shockingly plausible future (sans mechas, most likely) for our planet if we do not get over our reliance on fossil fuels. Global conflict on a scale that makes WW2 look like child’s play is an inevitability if we cannot mitigate the environmental impact and eventual depletion of fossil fuels, and that includes support to help less developed nations move away from them.
There are a small (but rather vocal) number of people in Western societies who believe that the amazing benefits and privileges they enjoy are in fact something they're entitled to due to their natural wonderfulness. They are therefore horrified to discover, when they grow older (if not up) that these things have to be paid for.

Some are so traumatised by this realisation that they reject the concept entirely and decide that their pampered lives are the natural state of the world. This obviously means that anyone insisting on payment is an extortionist.

Hence the above response.
I'm pretty sure the WRT-54G I had in 2005 was better at penetrating walls than anything Ubiquiti has ever built. After dealing with the one my mother was issued for her remote work I'm convinced that anyone not trying to remote-admin a hundred-router campus installation would be a fool to buy one.

Nothing is where you expect it to be. Getting to the control panel requires multiple login screens. Changing a port forwarding rule for devices that are and are not currently connected not only isn't on the same screen, it's not even in the same section of the control panel.

I had no end of problems getting it up and running for her, despite having paid tech support on the phone. Everything connected via ethernet would benchmark at exactly 1/2 the normal download speed of her old router, and anything on wifi benchmarked at 1/6. For the first three days her IP phone just rang continuously with nobody there, and neither I nor the tech support guy have any idea why it started working correctly.

Exactly. Don't hate the player, hate the game.
* At a previous job, I needed to change a fairly large codebase from using Guava futures to Java 8 futures.

* At the same job, a coworker expressed a desire to rewrite it with Observables.

* At a different job, a different coworker rewrote a chunk of code from Observables into futures.

* At my current job, we use micronaut, which has announced it's switching from rxjava2 to project reactor.

In the above cases, having interfaces would really help in changing the code piece-by-piece. And the rewrites wouldn't be necessary if they were behind interfaces.

In the general case I just want to program to the interface, and not pin my business logic to any particular implementation.
> Carbs are cheap, easier to store, package and sell

Not just carbs, but legumes are about half carbs, half protein, and meet all of those. They take some prep, though.

Nuts are more expensive and only store for 6 months to a year, but they're easy to store, package, and sell.
what about the isp companies they use for connect the datacenter?
> The main reason this company exists, or that ad tech can maintain a facade of not being a mainly bullshit industry with made up metrics, is the lack of informed consent.

Exactly, the industry is built on a foundation of obfuscating the myriad ways in which they are using people's personal data. Uninformed consent is the cornerstone of their business model.
I read it as "I already have or can easily get a folder of JSON files (each representing a table); I want to open them up in SQLite with nearly zero effort."

That should be hackable with something like json2csv[1], but I imagine the intent is a desire for something supported, rather than awfully hacked up.

The high number of security vulnerabilities is also something both IE and Chrome share.
Here’s the essence of non-ergodicity: the “typical” result (technically the mode, but practically the median is acceptable) is very different from the “mean” result. The language of “time” -vs- “ensemble” averages is simply about whether to include only the “typical” possibilities or to also include corner cases which have extremely low probability but extremely high payoffs. The technical point is that unless you get to play the game (“sample the process”) absurdly many times (comparable to the total number of possibilities), you will never access the corner cases, and so the averaging over the “typical” results corresponds better to reality. The “mixing” idea means that if you run the process “long enough” then there won’t be any corner cases — the extreme possibilities will thoroughly mix with the typical possibilities, so both kinds of averaging will lead to the same (correct) answer.

If you grok this, everything else is technical detail and window dressing.

But that copy of Pac-Man that I have on my raspberry pi is worth exactly nothing.

I built an app to scan receipts for bill splitting, although your use case is certainly interesting.

Google‘s MLKit is very accurate for on device recognition. You can even feed frames straight from the camera with almost real time results. Your bigger problem will be parsing the results, and handling very inconsistent receipts.
How about we ask the drivers how they like taking a shit in an unairconditioned truck in Texas summer heat and if they'd rather have the time allowance too stop at a rest stop along their route?

I, for one, having been in similar situations, would rather get home fifteen minutes later, or an hour, than shit in a bag. Or piss in a bottle.
Several ways. In Unix files are streams of bytes. In HTTP resources are complex entities with MIME types, multiple representations, encodings, etc. HTTP URL structure supports parameters and there is a method for providing data and obtaining a result back, a sort of RPC.

On the other side Unix has users and permissions, HTTP does not and you have to build your own.
Really glad to hear that!

About your suggestion, I've created an issue for this. We can discuss how we can help make things easier to setup, with the team. https://github.com/appsmithorg/appsmith/issues/3853
Needs two GPUs to work?

“One GPU is required for the Linux host OS and one GPU is required for the Windows virtual machine.”
Agree with you on this. We do that at my company Divvy. Each prospective hire is given 3 different options (varying levels of cash / equity). The "implied" value of all three at the current valuation is the same, but as you mention some people prefer more equity upside and some prefer more cash in hand.
rather than dismiss the article outright as some other comments do, I'll say that it conflates several concepts. let's break it down:

1) attention is a scare resource. this is a law of the universe (opportunity cost) until some technology or phenomenon figures out how to manipulate time. The article anticipates this response, but doesn't successfully refute it.

2) The article seems focused, towards the end, on the idea that the individual requires more attention. They don't, but this isn't the major issue with the attention economy (in my opinion). It IS an issue with our fame, celebrity, media, novelty and fomo obsessed culture though, granted.

3) a huge problem are institutions and cultures reinforcing attention/ consumption in a kind of cultural attentional arms race. this means that even if you don't care about getting attention, literal trillions of dollars and incalculable man hours will be spent trying to get yours whether you want to give it or not.

4) a general high level problem about whether this arms race (and the general ways we are manipulated into wanting to give attention) is psychologically adapting and damaging people into being unable to sustain attention, and in general unable to give attention to the things worthy of it (the last phenomenon probably is addressed in the article, albeit not explicitly tackling this source/cause, but maybe it takes this as assumed knowledge).
She’s clearly given so much away. She’s not virtue signaling here.

But I do find it laughable that educated people think that giving their money to the government is a good idea. It’s one thing to donate to charities. It’s quite another to flush your money down the drain that is the ridiculously dysfunctional US government.

I live in the USA dude... you can chose pasture raised animals here as well. During the early days of the pandemic my sister bought a whole lamb, and 5 pasture raised chickens from a family farm in Massachusetts so our family didn't have to risk going to the grocery store often and risk exposure (my parents are in their mid-ate 70s).

Nothing wrong with eating pasture raised animals from a local family farms. It can be pricier, but if you can afford it, go for it.

Since they forage grass (which captures carbon), they tend to be almost carbon neutral. Your vegan soy beans are probably raised and processed with some intense farming method, using lots of fuel, and are probably more damaging to the environment. Things like vegetarian meat substitute (like beyond meat), are worse to the environment than grass fed/pasture raised animals from small farms.

Also, things like 'almond milk', are very intense users of water, which has become very scarce in central California.

BTW, this is what pastures in Albania look like. 100% natural

It's kinda weird that some become billionaires while others struggle.

I support generous profit sharing. Equity, bonuses, dividends, and even compensation. Whatever works.

How generous? Working towards a Gini coefficient in the 0.25 - 0.3 range is a good start. Enough head room for over achievers, without leaving anyone in the dust.

Yup. False friend. Thanks for teaching me a new word :)
This isn’t a naïve question at all. My suspicion is that corporate taxes exist because they are the only politically-palatable way to impose taxes on the middle class (also known as “where the money is”). However, legal avoidance has gotten so prevalent among larger corporations that the futility of taxing them is becoming more obvious. How that translates into “raise the corporate tax rate”, I couldn’t tell you.
Nissan Leafs are ~20k for Km0 offers in Spain. They are very limited cars in range, functionality is behind than a 10K Km0 Fiat Panda. Street chargers are scarce, and usually expensive, and I have a hard time picturing a charger in every parking space in my city.
I had the same problem but figured it out at last. The Instagram recommendations are based on who is on your phone contacts. Anytime I add a new contact number, they show up on my Instagram recommendations even if we never interacted in anyway not even by the phone.

Counting only net carbs (so, not counting fiber) legumes are about 2:1 carb to protein.
It's always weird to me that people see this and get angry at Nike and not the politicians who made the laws.

Nike is a publicly traded company whose sole purpose of existence is to create profits for its shareholders.

The people who write the tax laws are democratically elected officials whose, at least on paper, sole purpose as an official is to create laws like tax laws that benefit their constituents.

And yet, people somehow see the problem here as Nike trying to do what's in their best interest and not the politician who made it totally legal for them to do what they are doing.
Corporations should not pay income tax at all. It's a direct tax on savings and investment, which leads to slower growth and lower incomes for the country as a whole. S Corps and some other legally structured corporations (such as some LLCs, all "non-profits" and religious businesses) don't pay income taxes by design. Why should C corps be singled out to pay taxes on capital that could be reinvested?

If you really want a fair, progressive tax system, stop taxing corporations, and increase dividend and capital gains* tax rates back to ordinary income tax rates. Then for the first time the little old lady in retirement would pay low rates and the rich CEO would pay much higher rates.

Under the current system when the retiree in California living off $30k in annual retirement income gets a dividend a total of roughly 38% is lost to taxes (Federal Corporate Capital Gains, Federal Dividend tax, State Corporate Income Tax, & State Personal Income Tax). The CA CEO making a million dollars a year loses roughly 47% to taxes on that same dividend.

So that's what our progressive income tax system was intended for, to have the poorest paying 38% and the richest 47%? And all to discourage savings and investment?

*
Now you'd have to index capital gains for inflation if you reverted them to ordinary income tax rates. That's the reason we have a separate capital gains rate. Taxing someone on a 100% gain in their stock value when inflation was 100% during the same period would be taxing imaginary gains.
Not much to see? Not noteworthy?

Where could I, or any Internet user, trivially download these details on 533M Facebook users prior to this dump? If nothing else, it seems extremely noteworthy that someone was not only able to obtain the data through scraping or some attack, but has shared with the world.
If you'll look even remotely close to how CEO comp works, you'll see that it's not paid out as a wage at all and that those people don't pay even remotely close to tax rate of an average employed person.

I think you have a good point when it comes to the public API exposed to users of a module or library; it's one thing if you are just using operator overloading in your internal implementations, but I'd imagine it'd be pretty confusing not seeing docstrings or being able to search for specific methods. Not sure how you would easily find that in the docs without peering into the object whose methods are overloaded.
That's a very interesting tool/language. I don't really understand how it works, but I kind o understand the idea behind it. I think.

True, but now you have two problems.
I see several persons claiming a lot of what is being said over the last few years as a propaganda from the Ethiopians as people or as a Government.
Egypt only receives 55.5 billion cubic of water.
Do you know how much the Nile rover represent for Egypt as a source of water? ONLY 83.1% of the FRESH WATER.
https://water.fanack.com/egypt/water-resources/

Egypt has NO other water resources except the Nile river.
How about Ethiopia? AT LESAT 936.4 BILLION Cubic meters and we don’t count underground water here (16.9 times as the Egyptians).
https://www.worldometers.info/water/ethiopia-water/
Simply speaking: what does Ethiopia need?
Ethiopia wants to SELL the water to Egypt.
Ethiopia is being used as a dirty hand to get Egypt down in any debate with major forces especially Israel.

Water MUST NOT be sold.
You CAN NOT trade lives of millions by money.
This problem should be finished once and for ever.
All the Nile river African countries have ZERO problem of water supplies EXCEPT Egypt.
Egypt is already suffering from extreme water deficiency.
Ethiopians always claim that they don’t get any benefit from the Blue Nile. Well, the answer is so simple, it is the civil wars that got your country sunk in bloodsheds of killing, it is your divided ethnic groups, it is your inadequate capability of using the huge water resources that you already have.
I am not sure who supports negotiating about the lives of millions of people by trading their lives with money.
You guys don’t imagine the consequences. It is not about war only, it is about uncontrolled anger which will reach a lot of places in the Ethiopian country.
Last, if you don’t have enough information about this debate, do not place meaningless comment. This is not your daily sh* you post on social media. Numbers talk. That what we all know. Without number, what we say is just garbage.
Grow up and have the info. Do not place your fail as a country or people on another nation
That's been going on for many years. Brute force calling costs nothing. I've always wondered if charging 5 cents per call would stop them cold, but I am sure no one wants to implement that now.
I appreciate that idea, however, I've been testing my own 'friend suggestions' and keep a strong track of my antics... also, it's become a hobby of mine to debunk each time someone says 'they're listening to my microphone!!!'

Most of the time the 'listening to me' conversations are based on origin IP to insta/fb/whatsapp servers. One person talks about idea X, another person looks it up (either in the room or later at home by themselves), and now everyone who was at that IP together will get ads for X.

What's more, Google maps uses Wifi SSIDs to get better location data when GPS gets a bit spotty... so, I'd venture to say it's a small step to associate accounts and make friends.
This is a frivolous thinking, is like a pawn with a King mindset. Nobody wants to track you, individually, because nobody knows/cares about you. For the collective, you have a value of 1.
Personally, I wish Facebook would finally get slammed with the long overdue consequences of questionable practices when it comes to data handling and transparency, let alone minuscule control users have on own account and PII. This leak may have been preventable for a vast number of individuals. I suppose many are familiar with the old account "deletion" process that would — years later, too — prove itself not to be a real removal, but a mere deactivation, waiting to return from their graveyard whenever pinged by the simplest of login attemps by bots or ill intentioned individuals. At this point in time, considering the sheer amount of I believe accounts struck in a limbo, a dedicated fast track deletion process should be enforced on Facebook. I have, in my little knowledge, not found any case of GDPR requests granting one's wishes to see old accounts (that did not accept their newer ToS and cannot be authenticated in any possible manner permitted currently, in which registration and connected e-mails are not) be permanently removed from their systems. My attemps, at least, have come short.
I like lamb, but it is harder to cook well than steak or chicken. I know lots of ways to prepare steak and chicken that taste good, but I've been less successful with lamb.
If a corporation doesn't want to pay corporate taxes, it always has the option of going private.
That might have been an intentional choice if they knew either they'd sell to suckers and leave them on the hook for the new battery, or have to subsidize a new battery in 5 years, knowing it would be cheaper, like writing a call on batteries.
Not poster, but also often have large numbers of json-ld files. Json events are really common, and saving events to files is really common, and wanting to query them is also common.
Assuming that they're following the law assumes that they'll also stand through a proper IRS audit without any questionable financials. If you'd ever been close to any corporation, you'd know that that's a hellova assumption to make.

"Following the law" is something that's very fungible when you're rich.
Is there a good way to quickly understand this for any topic?

Like, take something you might not be interested in and just "don't get". Your conclusions will be very quick but based on the current state of things.

The people that "do get it" might be crazy, or they might be seeing a longer trend that they've been following so long that they never articulated it, and aren't even capable of articulating it.

How is one supposed to form opinions on new topics where the state rapidly changes?
I think it boils down to we will hit a wall, but we don't know exactly when we'll hit it. (and how hard, chances are that higher-hanging-fruit refinements will make the transition to stagnancy so gradual that we may not notice at all)

A jump from "all past predictions failed" to "and so will all future predictions" seems rather bold to me. In the end it's like a somewhat upended variation of the "x decades to practical fusion" thing where we all hope that the old joke that x might be a natural constant is eventually proven wrong.
> I'd say a good usable mail client, a readily available video editor, sound recording software and office suite are more important than an advanced audio mixer.

I'm not disputing that. It isn't hard to agree on what an average user definitely needs and therefore must work. The hard part is where to draw the line, what is still needed and what is niche.

> This seems like a very niche use case.

Maybe. But it's very much something an "average user" might want. It's actually something I want to be able to do so I can watch a film with my sister, each with our own headphones. That's a real user need, not something "meta" like the FLOSS things you mentioned (not a solution by itself, but something that can help a programmer fill that user need).
The magic of quicklook isn’t really about the behavior in Finder, though. The magic of it is that it’s available as an API to developers. I use an app that is ostensibly marketed as an image viewer but, because it uses quicklook to render file content, it can open all the file types that quicklook supports.

Being able to use an image viewer to cycle files in a zip archive (without extracting them) and be able to render anything from images to spreadsheets to pdf files is pretty remarkable.
Here in MA, most of the tap water supplied by MWRA (many cities/townships) is pH 9-9.5. I think mine was closer to 9.6 last time I checked. I would think if the water is indeed at fault in this case it's due to specific additives/contaminants, not the pH itself.
