I've given up on Walmart online ordering after a couple experiences where my order was fulfilled by a dropshipper who bought the wrong item and had it shipped to me as a gift through Amazon. Massive confusion all around, and it ended with cancelling and getting a refund from Walmart.

There is plenty wrong with Porsches, with their glued cooling line recalls, where glue degrades and lets go with age, and on some models (Macan?) this means cooling fluid spewing directly at your front brake disks and tires. Then you have electronics routinely going haywire. At least you dont have to worry about IMS bearings anymore.

ok, but normally banking has established protocols? If this is the main use-case of RPA-startups, Microsoft does not compete in any way. I don't see a lot of reasons (name one for me) for a legitimate business to pay an RPA-startup over the bank for automated data acquisition.

Another use-case could be the cloud probably – like scraping your salesforce apps. And this is just .... sad?

I think the main problem is that we allow the justice system to step on private companies.

I think the company owning the data should be able to decide whether to give the data and aid the investigation or not (which is something that affect their reputation and that they can tell their customers, either as an advantage or a disadvantage)
This article is intellectually dishonest; it's obviously trying to push forward an agenda. Any honest person who has participated in the economy in the past decade and possesses any common sense at all will know that BS jobs are real.

Consider the quote:

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."

In spite of this, many people today will openly acknowledge that their jobs are useless; against their own interests. There are no incentives for people to think this way and yet they do.

Not only that, but the idea of jobs becoming increasingly useless aligns perfectly with what you would expect to happen as a consequence of reserve banks constantly printing new currency to 'prop up' the markets whenever they threaten to collapse. Of course that would make people more complacent, lazier, dumber, etc... Every time you give incompetent people an unfair advantage, you're making is harder for competent people to compete against them. Our system is constantly propping up incompetent people and hurting competent people. It's almost impossible to bootstrap a startup these days. I wouldn't be surprised if the few bootstrapping success stories were part of a gaslighting agenda.

There is no free market. I wouldn't be surprised if many successful people today were essentially hand-picked by the financial elite; possibly selected based on their psychopathic tendencies. A hierarchy of psychopaths destroying the economy and the planet while gaslighting the world into doubting their own eyes.

The whole scheme is so obvious at this stage. I wonder how much the author of this article got paid to write it.

A different phenomenon but somewhat related is when good brands have an unusual sale item (not a close out). It seems to be where the MFG had a bad run and they’re noticing a higher rate of returns so they put them on sale. It’s not worth it, get the full price version and avoid the defects (like seal quality, adhesive quality, material quality, etc.)
Right now, an image search for "tank man" returns the tank man photo a whole bunch of times, but only because news articles about Microsoft banning the term use the photo in their headers.

Germany's handling of the Corona crisis was shameful. Science was largely ignored, instead politicians relied on wishful thinking. The second and third wave hit us hard, it could have been avoided by stricter counter measures.
The gigantic spec has so many surprises hidden in it - the use of a bespoke “modified utf8” for native strings was a fun discovery.

Good luck with the mammoth project! I think the fun will really start when it comes to running mini programs to test against a reference implementation and finding out we implemented core parts like method/field/(super)interface resolution totally wrong.

Oh, and optimisation too. It’d be cool to implement a JIT but that’s a long way away
Tolerance vs intolerance is a false dichotomy. Our actions can be viewed as points on a 2-dimensional axis between the two. Is showing discomfort with another's overly racist ideas tolerant or intolerant? What about asking questions about why someone made a casual offhand comment? Refusing to participate in a group blackface costume for Halloween? Are these tolerant or intolerant actions?
G7 finance ministers agree global minimum corporate tax of at least 15%
On one hand that sucks.

On the other hand, given their alleged response to disturbances, how aren't these birds extinct yet?

This makes me somewhat skeptical of this story.
Summary:

> Firstly, the G7 want a global minimum tax rate so as to avoid a "race to the bottom" where countries can undercut each other with low tax rates.

> Secondly, the rules will aim to make companies pay tax in the countries where they are selling their products or services, rather than wherever they end up declaring their profits.

Good. It’s a shame that Biden had to back down from the initial 28% because of domestic opposition.
Fun problem, conceptually easy but very prone to off-by-one errors. I think it's a bit easier to implement median using kth. Also it doesn't need recursion, one loop with fixed space usage is enough. Here's my JS code:

function kth2(a,b,k) {
var ai=0,aj=a.length,bi=0,bj=b.length,d=1;
while (true) {
if (ai==aj) return b[bi+d*k];
if (bi==bj) return a[ai+d*k];
var m=d*(aj-ai),n=d*(bj-bi);
if (k<(m+n)/2) [ai,aj,bi,bj,d,k] = [aj-d,ai-d,bj-d,bi-d,-d,m+n-1-k];
var ak=Math.floor((m+1)/2),bk=Math.floor((n+1)/2);
if (d*a[ai+d*ak-d]<d*b[bi+d*bk-d]) [ai,k] = [ai+d*ak,k-ak];
else [bi,k] = [bi+d*bk,k-bk];
}
}
function median2(a,b) {
var n = a.length+b.length;
if (n%2 == 1) return kth2(a,b,(n-1)/2);
else return (kth2(a,b,n/2-1)+kth2(a,b,n/2))/2;
}

No, I said "activist first". Or for many "activist only".

I see people who think the actual work is incidental.

You say you don't even do activism at work, and even less activism first. So how do you imagine you disagree with me?

Unless you have a super low qualification job where you're hired to be a warm body, you're actually hired for the traits you mention, so that is the job. That is actually the "get the work done".
There are tons of mechanics that don’t make sense from a simulation perspective but are fun and add mechanical depth to a game. A very common one is the ability to carry multiple rifles in-combat. But generally the movement in-combat is accelerated and allows for higher control, while the penalty of getting hit is much lower.
these 'Woke' people resemble the Apartheid rulers way too much for my liking[1].

How much do they resemble the Apartheid rulers? They look quite different to me. When I think of the Apartheid rulers, the key defining features I think of are people operating a state that actively dehumanises large groups of people and sentences them to life as second-class citizens lacking rights and opportunities, and who are made to fear violence of the state, and so on.

These woke people seem quite different to that. So when you say they're too similar for your liking, how similar is that? In what ways, that you don't like, are they similar?
The room users, as in, of a meeting room? I think those are defined to be in the "meatspace private network", so you don't need SSO/MF so long as the device identifies itself as being a member of the room.

This taxes everyone along with the multinationals. The complex deals they do mean they always pay a lot less than the 12.5% or whatever the tax rate is so i don't see how raising it for everyone else will help

They didn't set up a clinic and stick a "Colored folks only" sign out front.

At the county or state level, they looked at the data and identified that Black and Latino populations were not being vaccinated at the same rate as white populations, and also recognized that the pandemic has disproportionately affected those same populations.

So they committed resources to establish more clinics in areas with high concentrations of the given populations and may have waived certain documentation requirements that are historically more challenging for them to acquire.

The result being that people of means, predominantly white people, took time off of work and travelled long distances to take advantage of the situation. Taking the place of a non-zero number of residents that were the intended recipients.

When original Quake code became available I spent a bunch of time analyzing the movement code to help my QW clan improve agility during matches.

> As a decidedly skill-based mechanic, competitive players love bhopping because it is so hard to master.

I have been part of QW clan somewhere between 1998 and 2002.

People learned hopping not because it was hard to master but because without it you would be at an extreme disadvantage on some maps (especially DM3 and DM6). Additionally to being able to move faster around map hopping has some other advantages: being able to jump some distances that normally would not be possible to jump (like rotundas on DM3 and DM6, over lava on DM2, etc.), being further from ground makes you get less damage from rockets striking ground and also because when you run fast constantly jumping and bobbing right and left you are harder to target directly.

Also, hopping feels good:)

Hopping isn't hard. I have been teaching people hopping by explaining how it works and giving step by step exercises. I have never had any difficulty teaching people to do this.

> This means that the player has a single frame to input the jump command without losing speed - another reason why bunnyhopping is so hard!

I don't know Quake 3 code, but at least for QW this is not true.

You can schedule the jump before you hit the ground.

What you do is the following sequence:

1. Hit the jump
2. While you in air, release the jump and press it again. Keep the jump key pressed as you are heading you are falling to the ground.
3. When you hit the ground the game engine will immediately execute the jump without applying friction penalty (provided you don't get damaged due to fall, I don't remember that part too well).

When I was teaching people to bunny hop one of foundational exercises was to learn to release and press jump again mid-flight, before you even start to learn the bunny hopping movement. You learn this standing in place before you add rotation (keep hopping while you rotate) and then add movement (start using w to move around). Only once you are comfortably timing your "reverse" jump mid flight you add strafing to the mix.
It's not third party sellers, it's comingling inventory from third party sellers. That breaks the reviews / reputation as a way to check, and it means if there's even one bad egg, even if I buy from Amazon itself, I can still get the wrong product.
The US tax code is absolutely riddled with tax loopholes. Many of these loopholes were designed to act as an incentive, such as tax breaks for hiring former felons, building factories in certain locations, investing in R&D etc etc. Major corporations often pay far lower than the US corporate tax rate precisely because they respond to these tax incentives (and sometimes abuse them, but that's a different story). Does this deal mean that the US will close these loopholes? If so, then 'rich nations' have lost a major tool for creating desired outcomes. If not, then how can this deal prevent other countries just offering whatever loopholes they want that reduce the effective tax rate below the minimum?
> Firstly, the G7 want a global minimum tax rate so as to avoid a "race to the bottom" where countries can undercut each other with low tax rates.

Why is this necessary, if countries can just tax companies based on the money they made in their country?
The article mentions it also "protects the port of Copenhagen"

But otherwise it steals value from the city and it increases the coastline.

Increasing the coastline is truly adding to society, humans value water access, but I suspect the stolen value by shifting the centre of mass of Copenhagen obfuscates it's true added worth.

It's quite different to building up or down or abstract improvements like tunnels which increase density and more clearly add more than they take.

Apple sell those cpu because they are "buying" users for their locked ecosystem witch will pay "lifetime" subscription in their services , probably in Future enriched with apple search and apple ads.. 1984 .. but it started with a good CPU.. Amazon is settling.. look how good is our cpu and how cheap.. while they are probably have 0 margin on those and 50% on competition .. look the argument for alternatives in CPU space is not bad.. it's been just the examples that you have chosen that are imo
Pricewise and performancewise a CPU can look better if the seller have secondary interest to sell those to you that are not monetary.. (take that 3nm tr7990wx at 300$.. in a locked system that we sell you for 1500$, we will take lifetime 30% cut from what you buy with it anyway ;) if you want 2tb ssd it's another 2k.. but hey the CPU is just 300$ ... ) I will judge m1 only if it will be compatible with Linux and sold separately from the apple (eco)system
Talking about architecture arm did a good job.. but under Nvidia.. I'm not so faithful for the future..
I used to live in the oldest home in a subdivision; it was completely xeriscaped. Over the years as the city grew more and more people moved into this subdivision building much larger homes with traditional yards.

I got a lot of grief from the new neighbors. The didn’t like my modest home—it was wooden not masonry, they didn’t like the fence, they didn’t like the garage, but most of all they didn’t like the native plants in front of my house.

I eventually moved to a new neighborhood, but I did keep the unoccupied xeriscaped house for a few years, out of spite I suppose.

How to Supercharge Your Reading with Speed Reading
I wonder where they measure from, as it claims >1 second of loading time for what is ~500ms in my browser.

And my browser is also absurdly slow, now that I look at it. The HTML at https://lucgommans.nl is 978 bytes, the CSS 2KB, and the ping 39ms. With DNS+TCP+TLS+HTTP, the HTML downloads in 159ms. And then it waits. And waits. Then, after 134ms, it decides that DOM content has been loaded and fires the DOMContentLoaded event (there is no JS on the page). And then it waits some more, until after waiting 177ms it decides to start downloading the CSS which finishes in 44ms. And then it waits again for 40ms, downloads the 33KB background image in 80ms, and finally clocks the total loading time at 508ms.

How fast should it be? The loading times are 283ms altogether (sequentially), how long does parsing 3KB of data take on a modern CPU? Close to zero right?

I remember in iirc ~2007-2015, quite regularly there would be news that browser X had optimized the DOM parser, or rewritten the JavaScript engine, or cut off some time with this or that. What even is going on here, did all this go out the window with the multi-process browser where it has to talk to other processes to get things done, or what's up with all this waiting? Does anyone know?

Well, this says that zig team reported those bugs as "release blockers".

I can see your point. People will go where they can get the best deal and nobody likes having the rug pulled out from under them and suddenly having to solve licensing problems. But I can see the article’s standpoint too. Building multi-million or -billion dollar edifices on top of the free labor of FOSS maintainers is arguably exploitative and unsustainable, and the idea of being unwilling to pay a small fee for something “critical to the business” is somewhat absurd on its face.
