I think a law that forbids blocking third party clients (either through terms&conditions or technical means) would level the playing field a bit. Though I see issues around balancing the need of platforms to update their APIs and an API update essentially blocking third party clients who don't keep pace.
The Intercept? Even if I agreed with Glem Greenwald's world view, I'd recognize it as among the most biased out there. for American foreign policy, I have a much simpler suggestion: any news from sources that aren't in the US or its chief geopolitical rivals (Russia and China). As a special bonus, you'll get less garbage news about things that don't matter, like the political ramifications of what Joe Biden had for lunch. And you might even learn something about the rest of the world, which is practically impossible from US media.
With how hackable the remarkables have been (u/rmhacks on Reddit even booted straight Debian on them), I'm somewhat surprised there hasn't been an effort to completely replace the stock firmware with a tailored replacement.

They could do what Apple did and provide a Windows compatibility layer which gets progressively more buried as old software gets replaced until it's just kept around for the weird stuff that never gets properly updated because it's maintained by a rotating set of undergrads.
Tell me you also know a lot about tools :D
I can’t think of any way to improve your lot in life without working hard. Unless you inherit money or win the lottery, no one is going to hand you a better life.

We have a safety net for the disabled. If you are able-bodied and refuse to work hard yet still complain that life gave you a raw deal, I don’t have any sympathy for you.

Everyone I know who is very successful (outside of FAANG employees who seemingly coast towards upper-middle-class riches) has worked very hard. This attitude of learned helplessness is self-defeating.

Immigrants literally abandon their children and force them over the border for a chance at a life in the USA. Immigrants know they are going to have to work hard to make it here.
Thanks! Syncing via Dropbox would not be my first choice, but probably sufficient for my use case. I'll definitely have to keep an eye on this :)

> democratic capitalistic states tend to have better overall growth

For their own people for some definition of own. The problem now though is that the basic way you live (in capitalism) is by exchanging something you have for something else. The average person doesn't have much of value to offer, less and less so each day due to technology. How can they have better lives if they don't have anything left to trade?
Don't the technicians that maintain remote oil-rigs make $200k+/yr though?
I don't think you should be downvoted, but the polio campaign was lying to citizens of other countries, not domestically, which I think is the crucial distinction here.
> has been built upon slavery, colonialism and/or cheap imported labour

As far as I understand, this is actually a myth - at least the first two. It's a common cynical refrain that the current level of abundance would be impossible without slavery.

There are many many places where there has been slavery throughout the years, and they have not ended up richer for it. The American South, where slavery was more prevalent, is poorer than the North. Brazil, who imported double the amount of slaves as the US, is poorer. Northern Europe, not known for their abundance of slaves, is wealthier.

Similarly with colonialism - that's something that is only possible once your society is already rich and powerful enough to go around and dominate others. Colonialism was not a huge success for England when you look at how much it cost. It was great for national pride and as a symbol of their "greatness" however.

Cheap imported labor can definitely help parts of an economy - but remember that many people lose their jobs when labor like that is imported - not necessarily granting them upward mobility, and the ones from whom the labor has been imported are more likely to be better off than they were.

Sewer billing is a thing where I am (Cincinnati, Ohio), and I can tell you exactly why!

The sewer system in the urban area was largely built out by about 100 years ago as a combined system, where rain water and sewage were in the same sewer pipes. Many people didn't really care about water quality and disease back then, so the fact that the Ohio river was a big stream of shit and chemicals didn't matter.

As other parts of life improved eventually more and more people wanted clean, healthy water and surrounding ecosystems, hence the EPA was created 50 years ago. The EPA got stricter and stricter over the last 50 years, and about 20-30 years ago started cracking down on sewage outflows in to waterways.

As a result, the local waste water treatment utility (owned by local government) has been under a legal decree to fix sewage overflows which occur during storms due to these combined systems. This has meant spending billions on tearing out these pipes and replacing them with separate storm water and sewage lines.

The utility started charging for separate clean water usage and sewer usage so people understood a bit better why their bill went up so much.
When you turn your android phone into a wifi hotspot, it creates a lan between your phone and the client. Isn't that enought ?
Congratulations on the launch, guys! Super cool application for deep learning.
The grieving process was intense for the first few months. It was somewhat amazing to notice the "stages" as they happened. Anger, towards my parents and my teachers and my psychiatrist, was the hardest to deal with.

But acceptance came, and it's the best I've felt in years.

Glad to see others in this thread like yourself with such similar experiences.
At this point one might consider using a real language and common software practices for type checking, extending, modularization, testing, etc... Instead of building an ecosystem just to keep Infrastructure as Yaml sane.

My experience with Pulumi and AWS CDK is absolutely brilliant in this regard, hopefully good DevOps/SRE/WhateverNewTerm practices and patterns will reassemble good software development practices in the future.
> It's important to note that an ADHD diagnosis does not necessarily end with stimulant medication. Stimulant medication can be helpful for some people, but it's not the only way to treat ADHD.

One may not need medication, but also don't be TOO reluctant to use medications. After my diagnosis, I fell back into the "Now that I know, I should be able to do this with will power and todo lists" trap and resisted medication for too long. Going on medication was, and is, life changing for me (16 months later).

The rest of your advice is dead on!
Press the Windows key and then start typing what you're looking for.
Of course you don't, but someone offering to make you a multi-millionaire is hard to say no to. I imagine. I've never been in the situation unfortunately.
Actually you can. The IP address is shown at the bottom of the copyright notice, you can ssh into the device and once your have put your ssh keys onto it, just scp onto it (the ip changes on reboot). Unfortunately, you cannot just copy the documents, but you have to bundle them with some meta data, it is pretty trivial to construct, I made a small script, will try to share it at some time.
True, and that's generally true with baseball as well.

If Europe wants to have its citizens (and companies) rely significantly on European-operated software, it has no choice but to develop better software, and to also offer that for free.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for ‘relearning’ basic programming practices when you don’t have much free time? I code every now and then but my workflow for coding/debugging is terrible now that I’ve essentially forgotten basic concepts like stacks, breakpoints, unit tests, etc. embarrassed to say I use print commands far too often.
> While 65 per cent of the worldwide informed public (aged 25-65, university-educated, in the top 25 per cent of household income) said they trust their institutions, only 51 per cent of the mass public (everyone else, representing 83 per cent of the total global population) said the same.

As someone who has gone from a "mass public" background to an "informed public" one, this rings true. I have definitely kept my mistrust of institutions. And it definitely rubs people from the "informed public" background the wrong way.

What We Learned About Amazon's Warehouse Workers
The article mentions a rape in an Airbnb in New York. The suspect had keys, presumably picked up from a lax key exchange in a nearby bodega. The cops were called and Airbnb was notified. Airbnb payed for a hotel, offered to fly the victim's mother out, paid for their return flight, and paid $7 million to the victim. The perp was caught by police shortly after the incident. Part of the payout was that she couldn't talk about the incident and potentially implicate Airbnb.

The alternative would be no payment and immediately drag this out in court very publicly. If I were the victim I would definitely prefer the option above or at least prefer to have that as an option. These kinds of things are incredibly rare and I'm glad we didn't have a news-cycle obsessing over something like this.
You are just a brainwashed islamist cherry picking facts.

Perhaps this is a cultural thing, but I'm comfortable saying I've taught at least 250 people to code and absolutely 0 of them were capable of programming right when they had learned just the syntax. For most of those students the difficult part was structured thinking without deviation and carefully stepping through their own code mentally to figure out if they were going to write something that made semantic sense.
Such as what, exactly? Most languages are platform agnostic: Java, .NET, Python, Ruby, JS, TypeScript. Windows offers nothing to developers of these languages that Unixes haven't been offering already for decades.

As a developer, I'd be happier than anything if my work just let me have a bare-metal Linux machine to do my work on.
There are lots of research economists at the fed with many different views. The St. Louis fed in particular produces many excellent reports.

But… the fed is a business. They will operate to expand their domain to the maximum extent possible, regardless of internal opinion. Same with government.
I have recently been diagnosed while being in a very similar situation as you. I have had and still have a successful career, I'm in a stable relationship, have good savings and a great life.

I've been seen as gifted as a child so fit within the so-called twice exceptional criteria...

I don't regret getting diagnosed and having confirmation of it (I ran relatively extensive tests to confirm this which took 8 hours in total and cost me quite a bit).

In my case, it's been helpful because I'm moving more and more towards management and ADHD is sometimes detrimental to some of my new responsibilities. Knowing that I have ADHD and reading about resources to manage it has certainly been helpful.

I was prescribed Concerta which is helpful on some days when I need to work on things that are extremely boring and that I'd normally have a hard time doing. However, I take it less than 4 times a month, so extremely rarely. I have however noticed that I cannot take it on days when I am sleep deprived as it would cause me to become extremely sleepy.
Your example is a pretty extreme caricature; I suspect many of us are more familiar with the slower but broader version of this sequence where we gain and lose interest in careers/partners/lifestyles with alarming and exhausting frequency.
> None of the bikes with rim brakes have the same kind of stopping power as the disc versions.

Yes I expect the people who say that rim brakes are better don’t mean "have better stopping powder" as that seems unlikely, but rather "have sufficient stopping power while being lighter / more flexible / …".

The article mentions a RAPE at knife point, not a robbery.

"By the time she realized she wasn’t alone, the blade of a kitchen knife was pointing down at her. The stranger grabbed her, shoved her onto a bed, and raped her. Drunken revelers were wandering the streets outside, but the woman was too scared to scream."

There is a HUGE difference...
I finally decided to talk to someone about this about two years ago, in my mid-30's. I was always able to achieve satisfactory results in school, work, etc. without have to dedicate myself too much. As I got older, it became clear to me that other people were able to focus substantially more than me for longer periods of time. The more I read up about Adult ADHD, the more it became very obvious that I had it.

I've found that adderrall, for me, has been very helpful and has not really produced any negative side-effects. I don't take it on the weekends and will skip a week or so every now and then, just to get a read on how I'm feeling without it.

One thing to keep in mind is to check your expectations. Normal stimulant dosing for treating ADHD is not going to make you limitless. Your mind will be able to stay more focused but you need to actively use that focus to start developing organizational frameworks that you can work within. Building these frameworks and habits and sticking to them was extremely difficult prior to medication but now that I have them, I find it much easier to skip the meds and still be able to be as productive as I want to be.

I would recommend you find someone who specializes in Adult ADHD, especially one that has experience dealing with otherwise competent professionals because they'll be able to help you make the most of your treatment.

Also, no matter how much you might beat yourself up over lot being able to live up to the standards you'd like, please be grateful for what you've accomplished even with your limits. Unfortunately a lot of people with untreated (and even treated) ADHD fall into vicious cycles of risky behavior and end up with crippling addictions to drugs, gambling, sex, and other dopamine-producing behaviors.
Doing it the way I suggest is directly in line with their final recommendation of passing the whole script as a single string.
I have a similar but older device, the Likebook Mars.

These no-name Chinese Android e-ink tablets are actually really great devices, when it comes to hardware. Where they fail of course is the questionable software. I find the Likebook actually works well enough, but I'm sure it's got untold security issues that prevent it from being useful for anything serious.

I don't really understand why there really aren't any reputable companies in the Android e-ink tablet space, and I also don't understand why Google themselves seem to have absolutely no interest in Android for this use case. An e-ink Pixel tablet seems like it would be a real win.
People are becoming more rational about labor. That’s a good thing.
I spent significant time working on a virtual dressing room system using 3D avatars created from user photos, and clothing designs from fashion design firms, their brands and manufacturers. With a 3D game developer and film VFX background, I got an MBA to help with my pursuit of the idea. However, once in full time business development with a working system, I found the secrecy and competitive suspicion within the Fashion Industry to be a progress stopper. The clothing designers are so secretive, the clothing manufactures are not given the designs until the last possible moment - to prevent copying. This situation creates a very difficult time frame whereby the clothing designs need to be photographed for marketing literally 2-3 days before they hit the stores. In order to have a virtual clothing try-on system ready when the clothing becomes available, the company producing the virtual clothing system needs to be inside the secrecy veil, with every client, and uber security between clients. If you'd like to discuss what I learned, I'd be happy to share: bsenftner at earthlink dot net. I globally patented the process, but lost the patent in bankruptcy; this is a difficult problem to crack.

They’re begging to sell 5-7.5% of the compny for €8m?

Sounds like it is time for Qwant to give up.
Well yeah. I live in a city where the housing bubble is so bad that the average home-price-growth over the last 5 years greatly exceeds the average income.

That is, houses made more than people pouring their sweat into their jobs... and those houses accumulate that value just by sitting there and existing, and don't pay income tax (principal residence is 100% exempted in Canada's capital gains system).

With that in mind, why would everybody believe in the value of hard work? When buying at the right place and time is better by every metric?

So SIP's don't change any of that except maybe the possibility of formal verification and easier patching of discovered flaws.

You get similar guarantees to hardware checks with less overhead thats the point.

Either way you're going to want to pay bounties for bugs hardware or software. Security work is never done.

All of them.

It's certainly true that there are other important factors and I don't think the parent poster's list is exhaustive, but these are crucial factors in China's current rise.

Slavery: we know there are factories inside their "reeducation camps"

Colonialism: Internally, Han Chinese are encouraged to migrate & take over areas of the country where other ethnics groups have traditionally been the majority. Abroad, China is involved in the modern form of colonialism by having direct influence in other countries via economic control.

Cheap imported labour: Definitely cheap labour and I'd say it's a large enough country to consider internal migration as regionally imported labour, with millions migrating from the countryside to factory cities.
Market forces can work strange ways - you can make a purchase of a house of bitcoin when they were cheap and be set up. You can work your arse off as something like a cleaner and make almost nothing as wages are bid down and the cost of living bid up. I'm not quite sure how to make things fairer.
Unsubstantiated.... Hm, your comment implies that this parade of people is deliberately ignoring QoL improvements. I think this is not the case. What's important is to remember that everything is relative. For sure QoL has improved significantly. But so has the relative share of wealth of those who already are wealthy.

Look at wealth, not income measures and distribution, let alone how much wealth the richest people consistently added. The pace of this growth outpaces wage growth and has done so, for a long time.

So where does QoL get you when you realize the system you're engaged in is fundamentally not equitable by design and that a small elite has basically decoupled itself entirely from the rest of the world?
Thats just wrong. Die Linke are no communists but socialists. And even that only in parts. There are many "social democrats" as well.

Because a country or region has slavery, doesn't mean the those who benefit from said slavery reside in that country or region.

Man, those dudes work hard. It makes my shoulders ache, just watching them. They are fast, energetic, efficient, and precise.

Around here, they are generally Latinos, and they have quite high-paying jobs, compared to a lot of their peers. It's a dirty, dangerous job, and the benefits are reserved for the few union members.

I appreciate them, and give them decent tips, but that is barely anything, for the work they do.

I am extremely fortunate. I've worked hard, but I have also had a lot of breaks my way.
Given that minimum wage in the US has been the same since 2009, I don't think anyone particularly cares about people who do the hard work at the bottom.

Is it any wonder that people notice that nobody cares about them working hard? It just transfers wealth to shareholders.

If so, there's the option of running Windows in a VM on your Linux machine, and having seamless Windows apps on your Linux desktop.
