That’s not what a fiduciary duty is. The fiduciary duty is for a broker dealer to act in your best interests rather than rip you off.

A company’s management has a duty to shareholders to work on behalf of the shareholders and not on behalf of their own well being. That usually means profit because that’s what most shareholders own the company for, not for charity. But there is no particular duty to maximize it at all costs. Damage to reputation and legal risk and the like are real concerns.

If anything, it’s the self-interested managers violating their duty who cut the most corners and burn goodwill, in the name of hitting short term goals and chasing their bonus.
At my grandmother's funeral, a family friend from South Africa (who I hadn't seen since I was ~5) gave a speech -- I'd forgotten that he was a retired university lecturer. It was one of the most powerful, beautiful pieces of oratory I have ever heard: he told the story of her life in South Africa (where she was born) in a way that was new to me, my mother, and utterly captivated a spellbound church.

This point -- that, by comparison at least, most people are uncompelling speakers -- is something that bears repeating.
It's the last hold-out of leaded gasoline in the US that I'm aware of and the landscape is complex to say the least. Some aircraft engines still require 100LL to perform within spec but most modern engine designs can also accept high octane "mogas" or motor-vehicle gas. mogas is also often not available inside an airport so getting it requires a vehicle and gas-cans.

Fun fact: most small GA aircraft still use the exact same engine technology that they were developed with despite needing to occasionally replace the engine. Automobile engines have seen a lot of advances in the last 60 years but any given Cessna 172 you see in the sky is likely still working in exactly the same way as in the 1960's.
Do you know if any tutorial exists for SNES emulators? Haven’t been able to find one, and I’ve heard it’s a large step up in difficulty from a NES emulator.
All of the logic in the driver can be unit tested. Actually talking to the back end is functional testing.

It's a common mistake that people think that HTTP implementations can't be unit tested too, but the truth is a bit more complicated. These libraries are essentially a wire protocol and people think of them as 'wire-protocol' instead of 'wire, protocol'. If you think of it instead as a codec with IO, then you write the codec separately and you can fully test the codec without mocking any IO at all.

It's nearly tautological that code that is written to be unit tested can be unit tested, and code that isn't cannot be. And because people want to get their code 'working' and then prove that it works, they are battling uphill to get good tests written, because good tests can't be written. And then some people use this as confirmation bias for why they shouldn't have to write tests.
> Self hosting these days is almost impossible because most email providers like gmail and yahoo mail will automatically move your emails to spam.

This is completely not true. Comes up every time there is a thread related to email. Every time many of us who host our own email servers will explain how it is not true. You can absolutely self-host your email server for your domains, configure it correctly and it will work fine.

gmail has a huge false positive spam identification problem, but it applies to all emails, even those from gmail to gmail.
There are numerous cases of media being perserved strictly through unauthorised copying, falling well outside even the broadest interpretation of any library exception.

The Google Books project would be a case in point, as well as (AFAIU) the early stages of the Internet Archive's book-scanning project. Numerous early television programmes were only preserved through off-the-air copies by viewers. Up through the early 1970s, television news programmes did not generally preserve broadcasts, or even have a research library (see Epstein's News from Nowwhere, 1973).

I'm not sure where the Vanderbilt Television News Archive (dating to August 5, 1968) originated (Wikipedia claims the Nashville affiliate provided recordings), though I recall a case in which a member of the public, Marion Stokes, recorded nightly news broadcasts for decades.

This is a huge oversimplification. Short term gains of breaching ethics might result in middle- and longterm reduced profit, regulatory action or opportunity for other players to eat their lunch. Businesses can follow ethics if they decide to, even when breaking them results in more immediate profits.
> The timings get really tough between the PPU / CPU with all of the scanline tricks you can do, even with an NROM setup.

Right, I agree. The PPU's intricacies are what make it difficult to write a good tutorial. When I wrote my own emulator as a personal learning project in C I did it myself except the background rendering of the PPU which I ported from a popular cycle-accurate Go project. In writing this book, what I've done is go and say "how can I write the absolutely minimum PPU so that the most basic NROM games will play (like Donkey Kong & Tennis)." My rewritten from scratch PPU is as simple as possible, only doing any rendering once per frame (the simplified PPU only does anything 60 times per second). I have it working well on very simple commercial and public domain games in C. Now my challenge is to get it ported and performant enough in pure Python, the language of the book.
I live in the Netherlands. We speak dutch. This makes it quite handy to pick fake reviews since these are (almost) always bad translations. Why does no one look outside the main language areas and compare these? Most reviews are on global stuff anyway.

I grew up in a poor country with a lot of problems, however it gave me an extremely decent education up to the high school. My parents wouldn't have been able to do it alone.

So no, for me and my peers abolishing the high school wouldn't have been an option.

that’s also a good step forward, but with all due respect to hass, it’s not a consumer retail brand (yet?). ideally, we’d get a little box like an apple tv/airport express where you plug it in, it finds all the zigbee (and thread) devices in range, and then let’s you validate and configure those by walking around and pointing your phone/tablet camera at each one (hopefully validated via uwb/nfc rather than qr code).

I'm not sure how old you are but I think that the internet has legit made formal education obsolete.
It really looks like Hey for IMAP. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Fastmail already has a Hey vs Fastmail comparison page on their site. Most of Hey’s great features can be made as features of other email service providers and/or clients.

But this is an email client that’s more expensive than Fastmail & at $78 annually is less than Hey. If you bring your Gmail account that’s all it is: $78 per year forever.

A comment in this thread brought up Apple as a buyer of the Big Mail parent company. I think it’s just as likely that Google would.

For me the cost is too much. I’m paying $130 for years of Fastmail (for email service & their free clients on a custom domain with a ton of extra features).

I’ve set up rudimentary filters & email groups to come close to Hey’s features. (Yes, I also paid for a year of Hey.) I’m constantly trying new email clients & will likely give Big Mail a shot when it goes live.

But sticking with something that costly is unlikely, it’s also hard to say when I’d do this given the short trial period. I need a week of trial time where I can focus a little time setting up and comparing to clients I’ve already tried & the one I use now.

I have always thought of Heinlein as having written two original books. The first part of _Stranger in a Strange Land_ was one of them, then pick the second part or any of his other books for the other. I really tried to look for originality in his others that I read, but aside from names and settings, I just didn’t find any. I wish he had written more books with the freshness of SiaSL.

A couple of years ago I got an honourable mention in an essay competition on school shootings and in it I discussed how schools are the one place in most people's lives that they have no power to escape. [0]

You can quit a crappy job. You can transfer to a different university. You can ghost your friends. In nearly every social system after high school, there is some measure of self selection. But you have no power to extract yourself from that environment unless your parents are willing to send you to private school or move.

I am not sure there is a need to abolish high school, but rather just provide additional resolutions for those for whom it is a very poor fit and better clamp down on those who want to harm others in the ecosystem. Schools handle edge cases very poorly and they do an even worse job of managing those who wish to do harm.

It's because of that thread that people mistakenly believe you need a gmail.com address. A bunch of people in that thread guessed you needed a gmail.com address. Others immediately said no, you don't need it and showed examples.

But this is how misinformation spreads. Many people only read it and believe it without looking closer.

We just trust that other people know what they are talking about. :)

This leaves out the sample from Steven King that illustrates adding words for rhythm and not meaning.
Formal education for certain things; there are a lot of other things that require you to be taught by somebody else, in person. Things that make up the physical infrastructure which we rely on, in particular.

Nevertheless, it's not obsolete until we can reliably teach people how to teach themselves. We are far, far from that point. Access to knowledge is a teeny tiny part of the entire challenge.
fyi/point of interest, the author, Rebecca Solnit, is essentially the originator of the "mansplaining" concept. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/06/books/review/recollection...

I have previously read up on that and her original exemplar story and I don't think she was as insightful about herself and her own role in that moment as she was about the guy mansplaining to her, but still, she definitely had her finger on the pulse of a cultural phenomenon.
Yes, but the ussue being pointed out is third party google.. Also being made aware. Many users pay proton for the services. Should we also be upset about payment processors logging this?

Hmmm ... In 1982 I heard a talk by Edsger Dijkstra given at my company. As he stepped up to the overhead projector he said "I asked for 20 feet of blackboard, and I got this ..."

As a (former) presenter, I found myself constantly struggling to figure out how to get what I wanted to say onto a slide. I'm going to say, I want a projector that can project on to a wall 10 feet high (although I'd probably only use the top five feet) and 15 feet across. I personally have bad eyes, and don't want to resort to anything less than really easy to read text size. It's not just powerpoint, but the physical infrastructure that becomes standard support for powerpoint that becomes the enemy of deep, complex ideas.

the only way to fix this is to make it so that any information about a person is owned by that person, regardless of who is storing it or how it was collected. companies should have to pay rent to the data owners every year.

- anychance to combine it with a screenmirror on a tablet with pen (or am I wrongly understanding the benefits)?

This is what makes Tesla kick ass, they sell their “concept cars”. They make them available.

This is just fluff.

“When MOTOROiD was revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show, it drew massive attention and was a prime topic of the show, but it also triggered something rather strange, especially since it is a concept model. People were already searching the internet to see how much it would cost; people were not just asking Yamaha directly, but internet forums had topics with users speculating over what the MOTOROiD’s price would be. Show visitors were also saying things like, “I don’t even have a license yet, but I’d definitely want to ride something like this,””
I've read it. There's no modelling or anything beyond speculation in secton 5.
I imagine this varies significantly from place to place but when I was in high school you could pretty easily switch to other public high schools in the area and there were several charter schools and alternative schools available for students not well served by the public schools. Since this was a fairly rural area in a fairly average state, I have always thought that this type of school choice was fairly common but I could be wrong.
It hasn't. In person learning is still the way to go.
This really resonates for me. High school was a colossal waste of time, and a very unhealthy environment, that I think made me a worse person for a time.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how to help my kids skip high school, but I don’t quite know how to do it.

As the author, I don’t think that it should be banned, but I agree that kids should not be forced to attend. If anything, merely removing the mandate might make the experience of those who stay a lot better. For me a lot of the stress came from the hostility and bullying that the kids who did not want to be there inflicted on anyone who dared to show interest in class, ask questions, or, gasp, pass classes.

Has anyone found an alternative path for their kids to avoid high school, and if so how did it go?
Yeah, I am not a huge fan of company lock-in. Apple makes their money on hardware, so they try really hard to keep people locked in [1].

"c. However, Craig Federighi, Apple's Senior Vice President of Software Engineering and the executive in charge of iOS, feared that "iMessage on Android would simply serve to remove [an] obstacle to iPhone families giving their kids Android phones". (PX407, at '122.)"

Yeah, Apple doesn't really seem very consumer friendly as people in this thread suggest.

Funny, I've been using google since forever in an spanish speaker country and it always correctly (when logged in) shows me results in english (I have it set it to english).
they provided study's and links, can you? Seems like you're the one just saying things.

Not only does it make sense from a mean scenario, but it makes sense from a human scenario too. When i see a company like Tesla skyrocket to 700, every day that it posts a 10% gain i think it's at the end of it's rally. Eventually, the firm gets way too hot and pressure to buy cools down. Market cap is just how much people are willing to pay for something * outstanding shares. If suddenly everyone thinks the rally has gone on too long, buying pressure ceeds and thus market cap/ stock price.
No, as most people will not do it on their own without being forced to. Many others will cheat their way through and claim more than they actually know. We have solved the information access problem, but that was not the only barrier.

Sure, however the problem is that school as it works now is too time consuming and it doesn't feel like it uses my time wisely.
Why is it obscene?
Most of the world's busiest systems have at least a line or several which approaches 90 second intervals at peak hours. Moscow, Paris, London, even NYC (and I would have to assume many Asian systems I'm not as familiar with as well). 30-40 trains an hour is the gold standard, but obviously only makes sense if there is enough ridership.
It is possible to make a non-gmail and non-gsuite google account... Just it isn't obvious how to do so.

You need to go to any google signin page, click "Create account" > "For myself" > "Use my current email instead".

You can then use that to make chrome extensions.
What's the problem with using ReCAPTCHA? Is it not the best tool for the job?
The older I get, the more I realise "high school" wasn't really the problem at all. High school, like any other government institution, is ultimately a reflection of the values of the people who run them. And in some places - those values aren't necessarily the best.

American education is old and dated. So inefficient and does a lot of harm. There are plenty of great TED talks on this very subject as well. Will it change? It doesn't seem anything major can change in the US with the current state of politics, but there are some options open to those parents with $ or a willingness to build their own education via the amazing quality resources online from top schools, creative teachers on YouTube, etc.
I have lived in both Manhattan and the rural midwest. The consistent, droning cacophony of the city pales in comparison to the suburban lifted truck with aftermarket exhaust that wakes up the entire neighborhood every morning at 6:15am.

(ignoring earthquakes) I guess the swimming pool would need to be on bearings and allowed some degree of rotation/translation from the buildings. This would be achievable as it does not extend that far into the building, so you should be able to have it supported in this way with a sliding bearing at the supports. I would not be surprised to see further supports and beams added to the initial architectural concept though.
> you appear to assume that the way to fix it is more government bureaucracy and regulation

I don't assume that. I was merely contrasting your complaints about the bureaucracy required for the government to distribute money to people with the reality that any system for distributing money to people is going to be ... bureaucratic.

I also don't agree with your assessment of things as they are. You claim that the bureaucracies are bloated, but have no evidence that the things they do can be achieved with less bureaucracy. Most regulations exist to check the power of the rich (or some subset of them), not to enable them (or some subset of them). Creating wealth does not involve navigating a complex maze any more than simply being alive does.
