No disrespect meant, but this sentiment is common among those without any experience with US manufacturing.

Industrial maintenance mechanics make $25-35 an hour depending on skills. Machinists make $30-50/hr. Skilled machine operators earn $22-30+ hourly depending on the type of machine and skill required. Plants like these hoover up industrial, mechanical, electrical, process, mechatronic engineers all at over $100k.

Perhaps you meant that completely unskilled labor is less in demand at manufacturing facilities. Even that isn't really true: the idea that 100% of these roles are automated is often believed by people without exposure to manufacturing; the reality is that you still need a lot of unskilled people making $15-20/hour for the plant to work, even with plenty of automation.

There are certainly fewer jobs than before, due to greater efficiencies and automation, but they aren't bad paying.
Ok, I'll explain the difference. The lockdown in Germany overwhelmingly has the support of the population. If this was not the case, you would expect to see the politicians and parties that instigated the lockdowns severely punished for it in upcoming elections, but that won't happen. It's not a significant issue in the elections. Once the pandemic passes, the restrictions will be lifted. No permanent changes to the fundamental constitutions of Germany have been enacted using emergency laws justified under the pandemic, and if there were they'd still be subject to judicial review and accountability to the electorate. None of that has changed.

I will freely admit Orban does have a lot of support in Hungary, but he has used that to erase the country's judicial constitutional history, not just influence one judicial appointment nut utterly stack the entire judicial system, institute permanent constitutional changes under emergency powers, ruthlessly suppress independent journalism and undermine the entire electoral process in Hungary. He's not even coy about it, he just flat out says that's what he's doing.

There is no level of equivalence, which I'm sure you are completely aware of and fully understand, but this weaselly whataboutism is very tiring. If you actually support what he's doing, just be honest about it and say so, and tell us why.
I think what you are doing ia astroturfing but just in case anyone believes this bullshit, there is zero doubt that a fighter jet went up and 'escorted' the plane.

We won't know till it's tried in court, but given that handshake agreements can carry weight in court if they can be proven, I'd suspect an NFT could be binding.
playing fallout 3 made me realize that I was not seizing the moment in my life and I was too obsessed on thinking about the future.

I spent a lot of time compulsively accumulating resources while consuming the most boring and poor resources (guns/consumables).
In the end I finished the game without really playing with any fun weapon forgetting that I was playing the game to have fun not to get to a goal.

since I realized this I started to enjoy life more and allow myself to relax or spend some money on something just for the fun of it.
That would be fraudulent, but that's not what I'm suggesting.

I suppose I could sell a token for Hacker News, I just couldn't claim that the holder of the token gets any kind of special privilege here.
Unless it was going to refuel mid-air, denying refuelling is not a deadly threat.
I should sell an NFT of the f7u12 subreddit, since apparently this is what's in these days.
While the post covers quite a bit of ground, it feels (to me) like it conflates knowledge representation, language, biological systems (i.e., the messiness of implementation), computability, and realism.

Regarding numbers in particular, there are a practically uncountably infinite number of mathematical truths that apply equally to numbers or to other abstract (non-numerical) mathematical ideas.

I would rather see depth in one area or another, rather than a conflation of ideas providing food for thought. Otherwise there are far too many variables to consider for a worthwhile analysis.

This is inconsistent. In Canada, at least, “Made in Canada” or “Produced in Canada” does not necessarily mean “made mostly in Canada from Canadian parts”. All that’s necessary is a certain percentage of assembly or preparation (for foods).

I’m not sure of the _exact_ proportions required, but I first noticed this on food products (“Prepared in Canada from domestic and foreign ingredients” is frequently found on foods I buy).

That is not a map of US airspace, and I wonder very severely at your motivation for claiming that it is.

That is a map of responsibility for air traffic control/flight information services. The US has a responsibility to provide those services across a huge region of the Pacific; probably because they're the only large country with presence in that region. They charge for these services for aircraft which are not otherwise subject to US taxes.

The Atlantic is a little more interesting as it appears to cover the Bahamas; but one surmises that the majority of traffic in the region is nevertheless bound for the US East coast (note how it avoids Canada-Europe route sharply, and only protrudes into the Caribbean around PR).
Also a bit controversial.
> Sunday's spending spree means the mysterious anonymous bidder will become the owner of the Charlie Bit My Finger clip.

> its owner does not actually buy the copyright itself - meaning the artwork the NFT represents can still be shown wherever the original artist or creator chooses.

Genuinely curious. What does it mean to own a widely shared digital content, if you don't have the copyright to it? What's stopping the copyright-owner from continuing to license the copyright to others, or even enforcing their copyright against you in future? From a legal perspective, how would the NFT owner even enforce their ownership against anyone else?

I seriously considered doing this (while clearly mentioning it!).

Not sure whether NFT situation got dumb enough for this to work.

It’s incredibly hard to predict future returns — yet conveniently asset correlations are relatively stable over time. The result is that it is far easier to boost risk-adjusted returns by diversifying your portfolio than to predict outperformance of any individual security or asset class.

In general for moving from v8 to v9, I think 16% is extremely pessimistic.

Removal of aarch32 has huge implications. And this is not limited to CPU but also touches MMU, caches and more that in v8 had to provide aarch32 compatible interfaces. This lead to really inefficient designs (for example, MMU walk which is extremely critical to performance is more than twice as complicated in ARMv8 compared to v7 and v9).

The space saved by removing these can be used for bigger caches, wider units, better branch prediction and other fun stuff.

Finally, note also that the baseline X1 numbers come from Samsung who we all know are worst in class right now. And they are using an inferior process. Let's see what qcomm, ampere and amazon can do with v9.

i used to do this as a price hack anyways, when i was flying between LA and SF regularly. you could take any shuttle out of the airport to a nearby hotel/parking lot, which is where you’d have the car pick you up at non-airport prices (typically giving a bigger tip to the driver too).

This only makes sense if they were planning on refueling mid-air.

The question almost no one knows the answer to is - is YouTube actually profitable?

My guess is no. We have this amazing resource with an amazing amount of content, yet it is probably subsidized by one of the largest companies in the world. It’s a big question whether YouTube can even exist without that subsidy.

My hunch is they need to do this kind of thing to somehow reach break even.

Edit: to the people downvoting and quoting numbers, alphabet has never broken out actual profitability numbers. Just because YouTube made $15bn last year doesn’t mean anything. Hosting costs, moderation costs, music license fees!!!, you have no idea how much YouTube costs to operate. It could be more than $15bn.

I have always believed that the majority of the complexity in the tax code is derived from lobbying by special interests to lower taxes on their specific sort of income.

Lately though it seems like tax filing companies have been the ones primarily responsible for sustaining the complexity of the tax code - though whenever someone's particular benefit comes up that group tends to get pretty vocal (i.e. exemptions for SALT taxes and home owner/child credits)
Key point: buying the NFT does not transfer rights to you. You're just buying the NFT. The original creator retains the rights to the video.
I am impressed that they have turned a low volume product in the cycle trade into a cash cow. Their products get used and were much loved during lockdown.

But do they sell in the Netherlands? Point being that exercise can be built into your life, cycling to work, the shops or to see friends and family.

As much as I am impressed by the Peloton product, here I am right now in a nature reserve with ample birdsong, having taken 45 minutes to get here by foot with my flask and phone. I am not likely to buy their products, my real bicycle cost a fraction of a treadmill and it actually gets me from A to B as do my boots.

Is there a handshake agreement that copyright was transferred? Do the NFT auction sites say anything about this?

What if the seller says "Oh, you thought I was selling you the copyright in the thing the NFT represents? I don't know how you got that idea, I never said that! I just sold you the NFT, that's it." Do people buying NFT's actually get some kind of agreement that the seller owned the copyright in the thing represneted and sold it with the NFT purchase?

Real questions, I don't use these things!
So to summarize, deplatforming is real, but it's a myth that it's a bad thing. Got it.

I think the answer is yes, and hugely so.

What statistics? What happens in 10-30 years? You haven’t provided a single data point in the context of this conversation. The graph showing the growth over centuries is logarithmic, so that blue line going a little south is actually a massive deviation from an exponential curve and completely disproves the point.

That article talks about 100-300 years as the first physical limits if you kept this absurd growth rate. This is not going to happen unless we reach the singularity, and then yeah you can talk about Dyson spheres and all. Science fiction, not current concerns.

What’s likely in ten years: Germany uses 70% renewables. The country’s energy consumption is down to 1990 levels. This is what the numbers show.

Worldwide, in the past twenty years, energy use has grown by ~70%, a far cry from the 10x increase per century the article supports. And it’s tightly related to more countries becoming developed - for the developed world the consumption has remained the same, as exemplified by Germany.

You’re really drowning in this blog’s kool-aid, do yourself a favor and find some alternative reading that is a bit less doomsday prophecy like.
I'm not going to pretend I have an intimate knowledge of how NFT's work (I need to basically re-research the idea everytime it comes up), but I never understood the financial incentive to buy one, especially for these very old viral videos. I doubt any amount of merch made would make back hundreds of thousands, and I imagine most/all of the B2B potential is gone since these kinds of videos have long since left their 15 minutes of fame.

And As seen here, even the "rich trolling" potential is practically impossible to enforce since we run into the idea of "piracy" (in the loosest form of quotes you can imagine). A problem even billion dollar media empires can't fully enforce. Is there something here I'm missing?

on a side note: while memes like nyan cat make sense, I find it very ethically dubious to "own" what's essentially a personal memory of a real family. But I guess if it's the family themselves that sold it, the consentual factors are already in place.

Relevant quote from SMAC (one of many that struck me years ago when I played it):

Pretty much sums up the extreme capitalist view for me.
So once you hear of someone, you'll do it.

Which brings us back to the question of whether you'll back someone you have no knowledge of.

Because you're basically asking them to do some work for you for free to start with. And if they can't afford to do free work, etc, etc.

It's just a cycle.

And while there is a lot of material being produced, not all of it is good. Publishers and the like used to act as curators to a degree. Now I have to do my own curation from not just what's passed the previous barriers, but from everything.

Sorry, no one has time for that.
But then the hustle would stop working. My take on the hustle is you post some garbage art as an NFT and have a rich buddy buy it for $100,000(?). Then your other garbage arts instantaneously become worth thousands because the media will pick up this story in proportion to the price*garbage factor. You then start dumping said garbage, eventually return the initial payment to your rich buddy and split the take.

Unfortunately we are likely past peak stupid in the crypto-world but you'll have another chance ~3 years from now since that's the crypto dumb-money time-constant. But if you still think there's time, visit https://mintable.app/ follow the advice above and report back.

PeerTube?
This seems like black magic, but it really does raise a lot of questions about the telemetry issue. It's one thing to potentially leak information from your own machine, but leaking data from remote servers you ssh into requires a whole 'nother level of assurity around privacy.

That said, it's pretty attractive because it's much harder to make a case to install fish on remote servers.

No. Stop giving kudos before anything is done. Give kudos when the money is spent, the factory is running, and the peletons say "Proudly made in Ohio". Until then, this is another foxconn free press incident. Peletons makes an announcement "Built in USA", it helps the brand, consumers get a vague feeling that all Peletons are built in the USA, then peletons quietly nixes those "plans" outsources to China, and they keep the consumer goodwill while exporting jobs to China.

You give kudos for actions, not words. At this point you are just anti-anti-peleton circlejerking
Totally agree! The closer autocompletion lives to the source code, the better.

We've started off writing completions by hand, but to scale we will need more robust integrations. For instance, aws has 100+ subcommands and thousands of options.

Long term, we plan on writing integrations with popular CLI libraries, so that the completion spec can be generated automatically. We've already started with oclif[0] and have done some preliminary work with cobra.

There is no way you're building anything but a very small car factory for $110m. Maybe this involves a long of hand-work for low volume niche vehicles? Specialty government vehicles?

Normal car factories run $500m for something smallish to $4bn for a facility with more volume.

It is a legal truth. Uber is not legally responsible for providing FT or benefits period. You can argue they should be but as you pointed out, regulation is the responsibility of the government, not Uber.
The software we are talking about relies on McCLIM, whose github README.md says that "Right now the only backend supported by McCLIM is CLX, which ties it to the Xserver on the host system."

In contrast, Gnu Emacs has bindings to native GUI libraries on Windows, Mac and Linux. By "native" I mean Xserver is not required on any of them (and GTK is required only on Linux).

Details: on Linux the feature/pgtk branch of Gnu Emacs (of which I am a happy user) talks directly with GTK and Wayland with no need for an Xserver though there is a risk that feature/pgtk will never be merged into Emacs's mainline because influential Emacs users like to run their Emacs process on powerful computers remote from the computer in front of them, and so far no one has gotten that "remote" feature to work in the feature/pgtk branch without using "the TTY interface", which lacks features of the other interfaces described above (the Windows interface, the Mac interface, etc).
I’ve often wished for a rewrite of Emacs—the rendering engine sure could use some love. The hardest thing in my mind is getting compatibility with all the existing Emacs packages. That’s where I derive most of my value from. If it can’t support org-mode, magit, mu4e, racket-mode, etc., there’s no way that I could switch.
Sure, Linus can sell an NFT containing the word "Linux" the same way he can sell a picture of his feet or just about anything else. It is all meaningless since (1) the NFT does not grant any ownership rights or licenses and (2) Linux code is anyways available under GPLv2.

Therein lies the question. It's basically selling a digital derivative of something that gives you no rights besides owning that derivative itself.
