While I can technically see that some news organizations are worse than others, my issue is that they are all so bad that they are actively doing significant damage to the world and most of the time they are doing it consciously and intentionally, so I don't really get much utility trying to distinguish them from one another.

And yet while they are all genuinely terrible due to trying to remain profitable AND trying to advance their personal political agendas, people are always trying to use the excuse that "its better than X" to justify supporting them.

My solution would be to ignore the news completely, but that solution isn't effective because I know multiple people that insist on ranting about everything they see/hear from the media on a daily basis.

IMO the media is very important for civilization, but somehow we have accepted that deceit, manipulation, and failure are the golden standard.
This is generally true - inflation punishes savings and bails out debt (the new homeowner in your example), but it really is more complicated. Hopefully the barely affordable house has a fixed rate mortgage, not variable. Hopefully they don't lose their job in a stagflation scenario. Massive inflation = more volatility = more unpredictability.

I wouldn't be too hasty to call it legal, and even if it isn't, I think most of it should be.
Unless someone is hyper committed to a laser focused tech stack (e.g. we're a React/Node shop), I don't think you'll have much trouble. If you only know older stuff, say mid-2000s PHP & .NET, but you take a month or three to pick up Python & JavaScript, you don't need to advertise that your PHP & .NET are much stronger than Python & JavaScript. Just say you know all four. Talk about what you've built, and what you know, and let them dig into what you built w/ what you know. If you really want to modernize your skillset, by all means keep working on it, but don't let your ancient tech subtract deflate or inflate your confidence. Focus on being effective, not a myopic "you can do anything with my tech" weenie.

Think of it this way:

- If someone worked in a 100% Perl shop, but they were doing things that sounded modern-ish & had dabbled in React after hours, would you still want to interview them?

- Now if think of a Perl developer who is maintaining a server by hand, pushing tarballs of code with FTP, not using version control, and hadn't learned anything new since jQuery, would you want to interview that person?
Gotta minimize the generational transfer of wealth as much as possible, and consolidate in groups of entrenched power as much as possible. It's fine that millennials graduated college in debt, into a recession, a decade after the dot-com bust, and a decade before the covid crash. Take a decade to recover, and as soon as middle-class momentum builds they get slapped and put back in their place again. All while China is 996'ing us into irrelevance and eating our lunch.

To be sure, courts are meant to handle individual or corporate matters, and not ideal or even effective in the maintenance of polities. But it is a mistake to compare the Weimer-era standards with current hate speech laws in Europe since theya re separated by the facts of WW2 and the Holocaust.

>Matthias behaves this way consistently, is unapologetic for it, and when pressed will explain that his "challenging behavior" (i.e. abuse) is some kind of test of your ideas, your willpower, or your capacity for success.

This would also change the context, but I haven't heard anything else about this, which again is why I'm deciding to pay more attention, but not quite ready to demand any sort of community uprising against him.
Apple can absolutely accuse you of pirating something it doesn't want to sell. The real question is whether they will spend the time or money to do anything about it. The answer is complicated. In your scenario, Apple will technically "win" without question. But it might be a phyrric victory because a jury may well agree with your reasoning and refuse to award any substantial damages. In fact, Apple might be shooting itself in the foot if the lack of damages encouraged other would-be "pirates." Apple would also risk bad PR, the Streisand effect, and have to spend a lot of money upfront on attorney fees and costs.

Note that under the law of some countries the right not to distribute a copyrighted work is viewed as a sort of natural or "moral" right to control one's creation. The US doesn't generally take that view; we think of copyright and copyright damages mostly in economic terms. Thus, if your "pirating" isn't actually doing economic harm to the rightsholder, you're somewhat unlikely to owe massive damages. Countries with more moralistic copyright regimes may have stiffer penalties in your scenario.

You might have some pity for Apple in your scenario (I do) because the law strongly encourages rights holders to bring a lawsuit in order to protect their rights. It's a use-it-or-you-might-lose-it-to-some-unknown-extent scenario, and lawyers and companies hate uncertainty. This can lead companies sue for copyright violations even when they don't really care. For example, a book's and publishing house probably don't care about a fanfiction blog. They may even like fanfiction because it's grassroots promotion of their product. But they may still feel forced to sue to stop fanfiction so that their rights aren't questioned the next time they need to sue, e.g., a bootlegger that's passing off unlicensed copies of their product as the real thing on Amazon.

On a more positive note, I like TFA because it highlights a company that did The Right Thing. WordPerfect made its Mac product (WordPerfect 3.5e) freely available when it stopped selling Mac software. WordPerfect 3.5e was released in a responsible way too (IIRC) by creating a special freeware license, which minimized the risk of losing the right to enforce the copyright in the future. Open source would've been even better, but there are many good reasons why businesses wouldn't want to do that where a product integrates third-party-licensed code (WordPerfect 3.5e for the Mac does, according to its "About" screen) or if the product is still being sold commercially on other platforms. The WordPerfect 3.5e approach won't satisfy open source fundamentalists, but it solves the problem you identify, and it does it with minimal legal risk. Keep it in mind and tell your lawyers or managers about it if you're ever faced with the question of what to do with your company's unsupported commercial software.

(Again, not legal advice, random online ramblings, don't listen to me or anyone else who posts on internet fora.)

All of those products have been improved by COMPETITION. The most critical, most important and ONLY thing that makes modern capitalism work for non-rich human beings.

Every single field you mention was thriving when there were multiple players fighting over your money and have started to become exploitative and abusive as soon as one player killed the others and started rent-seeking. Competition is crucial for market economy to work.

I find it utterly bizarre that someone educated would think that a death of market by megacorp monopoly would somehow drive improvement.
A simple USB hub is fine for those, and kind of preferred for most low throughout stuff.

I don’t want to have to reach behind the device to plug stuff in. The main issue I have with that is running into power or bandwidth problems for more power hungry things like rgb keyboards.

We've reversed a lot of that destruction in the past century.

You're benefiting daily from that growth and your modern lifestyle (in 1st world countries) is far above what people enjoyed even half a century ago.

Unfortunately destruction is a necessary evil. There's no way to improve society while simultaneously avoiding any ecological change. Unless you're suggesting we all go back to some sort of nomadic lifestyle?
It’s not that complicated really. House prices tend towards the level where a mortgage payment roughly equals a rent payment (since they’re substitutable). So when mortgage rates go down house prices go up commensurately.
Mostly just normal gravel roads and forest paths. I have done some very light MTB trails (here in the flatter than flat Netherlands), and did some touring through the German Eifel (that was intense!) and the Belgian Ardennes.

For me it's al about having the freedom to go where I feel like going in the moment and not having to worry too much about gear. For me this bike is like the golden mean, but there are other gravel bikes with slightly more clearance or better shock absorption if you're looking to take it on slightly more intense trips.

Here's a quirky gravel-centric YouTube channel I came across a while back: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV9WtB_q5sJfe3Rev5PWy-Q

For what it's worth, if you wanted to make the argument that Racket the programming language would not exist without Matthew Flatt, you'd be undoubtably correct. He is more-or-less the sole maintainer of the compiler, but fortunately for everyone involved is a very nice guy.
Facebook has done an amazing job turning an interesting piece of technology into a worthless ad-ridden piece of junk.
> The only big thing (which the article does call out) is that this is about scaling _traditional_ SQL databases. Traditional SQL databases don't have builtin horizontal scaling.

FWIW, the use of the word "traditional" here may need an asterisk, as some OG relational SQL databases like Teradata (born 1979, still used for ultra-high-scale applications) were designed for and depend on horizontal scaling.
I would argue that we're noticing mental health problems because in most cases survival is not an issue in modern society. This is not to claim mental health problems didn't exist prior but there was an interesting podcast about suicide and how it affects people more from good backgrounds that don't have the level of success that their peers have.
Another catalyst to expedite the adoption of IPFS is to debunk common misconceptions:

- IPFS is not a cloud storage provider, it's a network protocol

- You only store content that you request and pin and are not forced to store data from strangers

- It's not the dark web and not anonymous. Peers connect to your public IP address
I've always been perplexed by this, too.

Aren't the two most important aspects of the research the data set and the study methodology? Why on earth would you skimp so heavily one of them?

I don't work in the sciences, but this kind of nonsense doesn't exist in the "actual" sciences. Physicists spend loads of money producing just the right experiment conditions and documenting the manner the experiment was created in. The dataset is incredibly important and very rigorously examined.

But in psych, the dataset is basically an after thought. "Oh by the way, we chose a small handful of kids who happened to be free at that time, with no reason to believe there's any geo, social, educational, political, or ethnic background diversity, it probably cost us like $200 plus some pizza. Now let's print the results in $5 million worth of textbooks for a few decades!"

I don't buy the funding argument. A professor probably costs the university 100-150k/yr and will be working on a small handful (2-6, ish?) of projects. Buying an hour of a subject's time for a study must cost, what, $30/hr? Shouldn't they be allocating a minimum of $50k in funding for the actual research, and dropping at least $10k for a good dataset?

I don't buy the argument that most experiments don't yield good results so the university is wary of funding them. At a minimum they should follow up a cheap test with promising results with a real experiment that has actual funding before everyone gets all excited about it.
The sad thing is that actual Linux ISOs are so over-mirrored that using BitTorrent generally has no benefit and may be slower.
> The past wasn't a better place, it just was a place where you didn't talk about being abused, no matter what.

I guess that is true, but an interesting question is: Did the past prepare kids better to become responsible and capable adults?
Neither a printer nor an Arduino is likely to have a captive USB cable. USB-C to USB-B/micro-B/etc cables exist.

The only situation where USB-C ports on a host are an issue is for devices with captive cables, like USB mice. For those devices, inexpensive adapters are readily available.
Something I'd be very interested in: building a PXE image from something declarative like Dockerfiles.
A number of malls and small retail stores have policies banning or severely limiting unaccompanied minors. The idea is minors are disproportionately likely to cause disturbances. Even if that risk is very small, it’s not really worth accepting any amount of risk there, because minors don’t really spend money either.
Bills like that tend to get dumped into a committee and ignored. They don't make it out to the full House for a vote.

So it's entirely for show, but that doesn't mean it's worthless. It's intended to shift the Overton window: "A few years ago we couldn't even have introduced this. Now we have, and now it's something people can talk about. So we'll introduce it again next year, and more people will start to talk about it, until they start to demand it."

So this news story is the most they're going to get out of this... but they did get that. It's now in front of people. And now maybe just legalizing some drugs will seem more feasible.
Post Showden this hardly qualifies as a smoking gun surprise, but it's nice to see a concrete example identified and examined.

I have a funny feeling that a very large percentage of that market comes from VPNs. Everyone I know watches the US Netflix and we aren’t in the US.

This appears to be the tweet you linked to. Is it your contention is it censoring it would not be controversial?

I think you hit the nail on the head regarding complexity. I'm experimenting with creating a migration tool which handles all the views for you. I believe some of the process can be automated and the complexity reduced but remains to be seen how well it works!
TortoiseGit is one of the best, on windows, for medium or advanced users.
Quite nice UI, but with a lot of options if you need them. And very close to the actual git process

I think views are great way of abstracting out business logic. The one thing keeping me from using it more frequently is that it doesn’t work well with Row Level Security.

And as the professor ages their best research may be behind them, and the ones who can't take a bitter pill like that may start punching down on people below them.
If they are already using a CV1, I suspect they have a gaming PC capable of driving beatsaber. With a quest 2 you can wirelessly stream from your PC to the headset to play any game including beatsaber custom songs.

Given Facebook’s ads, I was thinking more like idiocracy.
Frankly, if you haven't heard anything about it, it's because you are not a part of the community that Matthias is in (whether that be Racket or Academic Programming Languages). It's very far from a secret, though obviously people's individual tolerance for his behavior varies.
I mean, I think what you are saying is the very thing so many people have an issue with, that if I try to say something that is definitely true, "trans women are trans women, and are in some ways different from cis women", automatically implies your second statement, "we should be allowed to discriminate against trans women because they are different." I mean, sure, some people may mean that, but one of Adichie's main beefs is that we always assume the worst in a very "if you're not with us it every way then you're against us", and that given Adichie's other actions and support for the LGBT community (no small feat in Nigeria) that she is at least somewhat deserving of the benefit of the doubt.

Otherwise what you're left with is people feeling that their only option to not be considered transphobic is if they say "trans women are women and are the same as cis women", which gets at the heart of why people are so concerned about public discourse today.
"war never changes" right? ;)
Can you point out the bailey here? Because otherwise its just a motte.
Interesting approach, with a pretty dark side-effect: the tech debt silently creeping in and saying forever. Apart from that, you can use any abstraction over the base schema, depending on the use-case. Renaming a column can be as simple as renaming a field in the DTO structure.

The interesting part is when you actually get to pay the debt back. Yes, this is not free lunch. You move fast, but you have to eventually pay the cost of the underlying storage containing all the historical schemas combined at once.

This is the difference between carefully planned schema migrations and abstraction-based migrations. The former takes more time planning and executing, but the end state is the reference schema. The latter keeps on extending the underlying schema and building projections over it. Over time, the system accumulates tech debt in the form of ever-expanding base schema that contains all the historical columns.
No prices do not "have to go down". You are assuming supply is constant but supply also fluctuates depending on interest rates and home prices.
My 5 cents.

There is not one but two psychological sciences at the moment. One is public, publicly funded and in very bad shape, with most of its results being not reproduceable (reproduction crisis), and a partial destruction happening via neuro-sciences.

Who destroy, but do not offer large-scale replacement theories, that could encompass the whole species and are not in contradiction to other neuro-science results.

And then there is the second faction (Disclaimer: I can not proof what is deduced after this disclaimer.)

There are several cooperations and at least one government, which had the chance to large scale collect data on the population.

This data is a psychological gold-mine, if explored properly. One could query such a behavioral database and more important - enact virtual experiments.

Out of all male humans, who curse in front of the tv in the evening, filter out those who get into a car accident, plot the increase in cursing in front of the tv.

If taken to the extreme, this new, data-mining behavior sciences, could create a agent based model of the species in all variations and collect data only to check the expected outcome of a societal change against the real outcome, with spot samples.

I have my own little pet theories, how humanity would look to this privatized psychology, but i digress.

I think, academic psychology should have full access to all cooperation databases that contain behavioral data.
As you can see from the details here, they hardly needed "sophisticated analysis:"

To my 1 year old with $1000 it is.

Inflation is going to make that $1000 worth less unless your 1 yr old is a great investor. If they have any tips, pass them on. I some cash and no freaking idea how to protect the value.

To a college kid with savings from teenage jobs, it is.

See above inflation is tough on savings. Might be good for a young adult with college debt that can be paid back with inflated dollars.

To people who's wages didn't go up, it is.

Only if wages rise faster than prices. Wages often trail prices in high inflation environments. In extreme scenarios, prices can go up in restaurants and stores every day, but wages may only go up after a pay period, or after yearly review.
