The price of GME and AMC are not justified by fundamentals at this point but thats irrelevant, it’s the desire to squeeze out the hedgegfunds who never covered their shorts that’s at stake here. Thats what is attractive about it and that is what has people buy these stocks and hold. Shortsellers meanwhile had large losses and continue to lose on a regular basis. They may be up to something..
It may help clarify the conversation if you both specified precisely which belief system you have in mind. I suspect there are perhaps small, but crucial differences between them.
It looks like you can get a used Pixel 3a for ~$100: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=pixel+3a&_sacat=0&LH_Ti...

(this is US ebay, but I assume prices are similar)

I think Calyx still supports Pixel 2, but you've got to trade off the likely length of continuing support against price, of course.
We already have that when it comes to drugs. I'm saying the industry should be regulated better, instead of a free for all. Regulation is not all or nothing.
Another voice for AoC.

It should make you have go into text and file processing (including regexps) and basic data structures (lists/arrays, hashmaps, trees, graphs). Maybe GUIs or image processing: it's never essential, but sometimes it helps in debugging a puzzle, or it's just fun to make a visualization of the solution. Even simple parsers.

However, typically you wouldn't touch things like async, networking or writing a server. Though you could try writing an HTTP API client that automates downloading inputs, many people do it.

I'd still recommend it mostly because it's very fun, in my experience, which keeps you motivated.
> There wouldn't be labor to empower if the tax credit was one of the factors that determined whether the plant would be opened here or not.

Think owners vs non-owners. The non-owners don't cease to exist if they are unemployed (or underemployed). We live in a world with massive material surplus, so the idea that we can't afford these people's basic needs without the plant is just wrong.

From that perspective, if the government is propping up businesses without propping up a weak labor market (either by more demand or fewer working hours), it's perpetuating system where employers have too much leverage.

> Zero-sum...

Right now the US federal government is uniquely capable of running deficits. I'm not worried but zero-sum in that sense.

> Sure, we could get into a trade war with the rest of the world by taxing or banning imports, but that would definitely leave everyone worse off.

Yeah I don't want trade war, I want race to the top. Higher wages, fewer working hours, etc.
Machine Learning Cohorts: A Synthesis
I do not know sqlite-utils, but my first thought was: why not do it purely using jq and sqlite3's CLI ? Okay, this is interactive but so are almost all of my exploratory data analysis tasks.

Just a few steps: convert JSON to CSV with jq, fire up interactive sqlite3 CLI which connects to in-memory database by default, run two .import FILE TABLE statements and finally the SQL query.

Alternatively one could use the SQLite JSON1 extension and write a small script if the task should be automated (and you do not like jq's syntax for JSON->CSV conversion)
How to get things done as a tech lead?
The person you responded to didn’t say anything about eating food without causing pain. Your first two paragraphs aren’t an appropriate response.
OK, I will try to remember to do that in the future.
I was a heavy Facebook user from the time when you had to have an edu email address to 2014. Have not logged in once in the last 7 years and have never missed it once.
Why is it relevant if it's already been done?
From the perspective of an MSP, this happens incredibly often. Whenever a client calls in about their email not working, the first thing we check is their MX records. Often someone has just changed the nameservers to the ones recommended by the host, which only contain the A records for the new web server.

It's a meme in our company that web devs break client's emails as well. ;)
The farms that grow the inputs to your lab goo will have permits to shoot wild animals on these properties… it’s called a “block permit” and farmers in my area are known to kill so many deer through these permits that bulldozers are needed to handle the disposal/burial of the masses of animals they kill… and why do they do this? Because feeding humans is actually a rather important task.

Step off the concrete sometime… the solutions to the worlds problems and injustices are often far more complex and nuanced than what is proposed by the modern left.
The real purpose of all these so-called 'security measures' which many Operating System software companies have implemented (e.g. dev licences, requiring programs to be signed) is to restrict users' ability to use software written by third party entities in favor of software designed by the OS's parent company. The irony is that these big corporations have become some of the least trustworthy entities on the planet - They have become hotbeds for hackers, white collar criminals and psychopaths. Any random software you can download online is more likely to be trustworthy than a signed software developed by big tech. With big tech, the chance of software being malware (e.g. spying on you) is almost 100%.
Same in The Netherlands. Works perfectly fine, especially since you have a reasonable period in which the effort slowly moves over to the owner. In a mass-quality-deficiency case you could still find an easy way with other owners to create the proof you need and still get the manufacturer to be responsible, so if such a case were to occur it's still reasonable.
> but of course there are laws about insurance

In the U.S. at least, you don't need to insure your own car. You just need liability insurance that will pay out to someone else if you're at fault in an accident.

As usual, the replies are attacking an oversimplication of the concept of the Lindy effect, and that reaction in part may be because Skallas indulges in oversimplification himself. The condition of something being Lindy is something to be determined after a long time has passed (tried-and-tested, stading the test of time, centuries or even thousands of years), it does not necessarily imply that all technology is inherently bad, but that dropping timeless heuristics that helped humans get by, acquire knowledge, solve problems, etc. is.

May I add, one of the best sources for the Lindy effect is Nassim Taleb's works (the final part of The Black Swan and Antifragile).
Looking at the VirusTotal results in the Twitter thread, all but one of the rootkits were actually detected by Microsoft's own anti-virus engine. I think Microsoft should consider running the submissions for driver signing through their anti-virus scanner (or even better, VirusTotal). Won't catch everything, of course, but it's pretty low hanging fruit.

Cybersecurity Tips That Might Save Your Life and Your Data-Ajulu's Thoughts
This looks great, but I think the website could be improved with a bit more explanation about what it actually is and who it's aimed at. EG. does this need an Apple Developer account? Do you need Xcode on the "Server" machine?

I love the simple 3 images "explaining" the process but after that I'm still left with a lot of questions, which are not immediately addressed by the FAQs which seem to be worded with an assumption that you've already decided to install it.

That said, it's open source, it looks cool, and it may be useful to me in the future!
Pretty much anywhere in the world, we are not in the US (except when you are, in the US) so that's great for the US but doesn't apply here.
Have you thought about looking in to the problem yourself, or maybe just throwing some coffee money at the devs who are?

I'd argue you should still be concerned about data collection even if you're successfully blocking ads. It doesn't worry you that some super-powerful faceless corporation tracks your every move in the real world? It's one of those things...it won't be a problem until it is ;-)
>Imaging Tesla would restrict which roads you can drive your car on, because just using arbitrary roads that haven't been thoroughly reviewed by them for security and safety would be a risk to you

Tesla has used their power to remotely dictate some odd policy. See https://www.theverge.com/2020/2/6/21127243/tesla-model-s-aut...
> What if anything I can come up with that aligns with my hobbies has already been done?

That depends on what your goal is. If your aim is to learn the programming language, code up that program/task/tool even if someone else has already done it.
I'm not sure why we consider more intelligent life as more worthy of protection. Why do we consider a specimen in isolation and not a species in its ecosystem.

Eating one crab is considered better than one octopus. What about 100 crabs vs 1 octopus? Where do we draw the line? Or if we consider something not smart enough based on our arbitrary criteria, it's open season to eat as much as we can of it.

We're mixing here categories that completely don't go together. Whether we hunt and eat an animal shouldn't be based on its intelligence. But rather on considerations of sustainability and ecosystem disruption.

This entire article seems extremely far off from making a coherent argument whatsoever that our actions should be based on.
It's a new name for a relatively old practice: build your experimental thing on top of the sturdiest foundation you can afford.
One idea is to rank users more highly when their comment is closer to mine in the comment tree. Also to weight users more highly when we both comment on an article that has relatively few comments.
Personally the reason I use a RHEL based distro on servers is due to third party tools that target RHEL, and also I am heavily invested in a personal knowledge base on the RHEL specifics such as how they implement SElinux, etc. Therefore I run Fedora on my personal workstations so that when a new release of RHEL comes out, I already know it.

But now I'm seeing more items target Ubuntu first. For example a colleague at work wanted me to get an overview of Swift -- for the longest time I couldn't get it for RHEL or Fedora, but could for Ubuntu. And a number of tutorial articles assume using Debian or Ubuntu. My main issue with Debian based distros is the package manager doesn't track enough metadata about packages (a lot is stored in a sequential log file that can get purged/rotated out, but isn't in a package database, such as install date/history/rollback information). That, and packages on RHEL / Fedora tend to install without needing input (they have sane defaults that you customize after), they also don't auto-enable when installing (so you have more control), etc.

He Grew Up in a Trailer Park and Now Raised $68M to Tackle a $3.5T Industry
It’s not all Gen Z. I have heard from several friends who are older Gen X guys that they’ve done cash out refinancing to dump money into the stock market. The reasoning is that they’d be idiots not to borrow at 2.5% and put it into stocks. Hard to argue with when the US stock market has a 100 year track record of producing 7% on average.

A couple weeks after hearing about this from one guy, his wife tells me that he made $80k on AMC today. It’s gone up another 3-4x from that day. No idea if he’s still in or not, but this kind of thing feels like the end of days of bubbles. It won’t end well.

the more you extend debt financing for a given thing the more expensive something gets... mortgages or student debt. debt is where new money comes from in our financial system...

now the second part of your proposal, would be interesting. but in practice if you combine both parts probably they would extremely aggressively filter students
Gists are blocked, hosted media are blocked, but the main site is accessible. Functionally, to use it you must have a VPN.
That's fair, skill is the wrong word. My point was that there are underlying fundamentals (as a stock is partial legal ownership), but they can often be obscured by the noise in the short run.
Compelling argument. I think it would be fine if Apple hardware didn't look and feel so good in itself, without the software. It's just a shame we can't use them with anything else we might prefer - I really dislike macOS and Windows and I wish these devices could run Linux simply.

But as you say I buy Asus or Lenovo and they work very well too, and they're starting to look and feel good too nowadays, so like you I won't care for long. Apple can try to solve specific problems with hardware-assisted software, and I can do my work on an Asus.
If you pay for Oracle, why would you run on promises? I get that the lag is disappointing, but "compatible with RHEL" is not the same as "compatible with RHEL and distributions that claim compatibility with it".
I for one welcome our Social Media overlords. Seriously though, Google, Twitter and Facebook serving the role of Thought Police, enforcing Right-think while suppressing Wrong-think is a deeply chilling reality.

How these unacountable entities became the arbiters of truth escapes me but the fact that they now decide what is or is not valid speech is chilling to any free speech advocate.

In this case they decided which stories were valid and which points of view to suppress, in an opaque and completely unaccountable way. When they were proven wrong their response was “East Asia has always been at war with Eaurasia” while attempting to memory-hole the truth.

All three of these networks are large enough to be considered utilities. As such their users should enjoy a fundamental right to freedom of speech and to due process if their rights are violated.

The major networks should still be able to have and enforce their own terms and conditions but free speech needs to be enforced as a basic right for users.

Otherwise Twitter, Google and Facebook will become the new Thought Police.
Totally. I tried so hard to get myself to keep it because occasionally it’s really comfortable but after about 3 weeks of worsening lower back pain, I went back to my cushioned kitchen table chair and it disappeared. I really really tried but my back didn’t feel just sore, it felt bad. I had no back pain before or after using it. Only while. I honestly didn’t like the lower back support. There was no support for the area around your tail bone. Maybe just me though.
I think of a prepurchase from Purism as something halfway between a purchase and a donation. They're truly doing the work that needs to be done, and I'm happy for them to take my money.
Well yeah, seems like personal tax thing... which aren't necessarily but still can be profit/loss based.

A few years ago I read an article describing the sam phenomenon in Cuba. Highly interesting
I agree but the short term can impact the long term. AOL bought Time Warner. AMC is raising ridiculous amounts of new capital that gives them a lot of breathing room to figure out a future for the company.
So, contrary to Zizek's contention, it's not his "enlightenment" that causes problems, but his trying to fight against those with power. A lesser man might have thrown away the glasses after seeing the truth, or perhaps consciously and deliberately started cooperating with the aliens, as various traitor characters did in The Matrix and V, for example.

He has nothing to lose, for everybody else:

I just figured it was a tax dodge.
1. Not networking. ...and I still don't even though I'm actually quite good at socializing.

2. Not trying to make money from day 1 for something slightly non-profit because we were afraid it would drive people away. I think it would have been more honest, closer to where we wanted to get and ultimately it could have funded us to continue our work.
Nonsense, Apple prices the iPhone at a level they think the market would bear. Unless it's clients valued the ability to freely install any software at $500 (which I think is highly doubtful) there is no way they could increase their prices by that much without losing a lots of sales. And in any case Apple's profit margins on their hardware are considerably higher any other smartphone manufacturer's.
My car insurance definitely asks for that sort of information, so I’m not sure why yours doesn’t.
I see no reason why this wouldn't be serious. To put these comments into context, it's in preparation of the government's Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill[1] coming before the Commons. The Bill would set up an Animal Sentience Committee to scrutinise policies' effects on sentient animals. The government have brought this forward in preparation of future changes to British animal welfare legislation, now Britain has legislative independence in this area, post-EU exit. The Queen's Speech in May announced Britain would pursue "the highest standards of animal welfare", and the government said it would make Britain a "global leader" in this area[2]. As the Bill currently stands, it limits the Committee in considering only vertebrate animals (and therefore it cannot report with regards to others, including octopuses and lobsters). These MPs want to amend it to cover these other animals. Whether or not the Sentience Committee's reports are properly considered in policy is another matter.

To clarify, the "box" is any UNIX computer (very well suited for Raspberry PI devices, since the wifi can act as a hotspot), and the "internet" consists of all the best FOSS apps and open content that get served from localhost, see full list here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/IIAB/FAQ#What_services_.28IIAB_app...

The use case is to make apps/content/tools normally requiring internet accessed work offline (either on localhost or local area network). In practice, using IIAB goes a little something like this:

1. find device (the more storage the better)
2. install free software on device using IIAB scripts
3. download free content (various content packs)
4. deploy device anywhere in the world to enjoy
all the FOSS and free content on local network

The IIAB scripts make installation and download setup fully automatable (battle-tested Ansible scripts https://github.com/iiab/iiab/tree/master/roles ), which is exciting because you can provision "learning server" devices very easily.

Advocating for changes in public policy, or opposing changes to currently oppressive public policy, is a zillion times worse than chasing someone with a machete.
The usual counterpoint to this is the essay "The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville": https://www8.gsb.columbia.edu/articles/columbia-business/sup...

TLDR: If it was really blind luck, you would expect the people who beat the market to come from a wide variety of stock picking philosophies. Ie, some technical analysts, some fundamental value investors, some momentum traders, some "throw a dart at the newspaper" people, some sector investors, etc etc etc. However, if you look at the investors who have consistently beat the market over many years it turns out that the majority of them came from a single school. The statistical chances of that happening as a result of pure chance are so small that the alternative hypothesis (ie those investors actually do have an edge, like good poker players) becomes very likely indeed.

They don't - there is a maximum of 1024 steps.

FTA: "To help with parallel decoding, JPEG XL decoders work on slices of images 1024 by 1024 pixels in size. So JPEG XL itself isn't Turing-complete; a version of it without the 1024×1024 pixel limitation would be."
Also take a look at their principal sponsors list. It includes AWS and Google cloud. They would both have an invested interest in keeping a supported free RHEL clone around.

If I were a wealthy individual I might pay 17M for an easily copyable arrangement of pixels in order to create market excitement for such things, with the hope that I could bring in the rubes to support sales of my art NFTs in the future. So in other words, pump and dump.
Why am i thinking that an auto-generated wikipedia/.zsync file could be the best way to maintain local copies of that site and others like it?

yes Melbourne and Sydney competed, and they settled for some nowhere in the middle, literally.
Unless it was intentional, why does it matter?
I agree. He granted people rights to use and distribute his software. It's unreasonable of him to attack people when people start using it.

I'm well aware there are some complications with open source licensing, in which many businesses profit off free labor without giving anything back. However, this isn't what happened here. This is a case of volunteers working to ensure that Home Assistant would work on NixOS. The upstream author came anyway and demanded that NixOS not use his software, refusing reasoned dialogue and instead throwing thinly veiled insults.

If many consider this acceptable, then the purpose of open source licensing would become moot. I'm glad this doesn't seem to be the case here.
In my experience a team breaking up or role model leaving is a good moment to do a temperature check and decide whether it’s worth staying.

Perhaps I’ve been lucky though. I’ve worked at places with potential to move internally which has kept things fresh and allowed me to grow expertise on the same larger team without losing tribal product knowledge altogether.

I’ve only switched companies once and it had more to do with curiosity than bad management.
