With Commodore it was not lack of money, though, but profound incompetence that saw them burn their US retail network to the ground by antagonizing them. Most notably an infamous incident of announcing a large retail price drop of the C64 without first lowering the price to retailers, and without warning.

Commodore only lived as log as it did because it's international subsidiaries had a lot of independence, and some of them were far better at selling than the US team.
Generally, a company would rather pay a contractor for 40hrs/week for 10 weeks to get the job done than pay someone for 15hrs/week for 27 weeks to do the same amount of work. That’s why you don’t see many part time jobs.

The exceptions usually come up in organizations with restrictive budget rules where they can tolerate the slower delivery schedule. For example, academic departments and non-profits may end up with some extra budget to spend that isn’t quite enough to hire a full person. Many of these jobs go to students, though.

Also watch out for companies that want the productivity of a 40hr week but to only pay for 15-20hrs.

You could consider trying your hand at freelance work. The downside is you will spend a lot of your time finding and landing clients.
It's easy and simplistic to blame individual "nutjobs" or "the media" for brexit happening. As if the huge numbers of brexit-voters were simple folk who got bamboozled. Far more difficult to accept that working-class people did actually know what they were voting for?
Here's the tact that I take on HN: If you disagree with me but you don't tell me why then I automatically assume that you have nothing good to say because my argumentation is unassailable. Therefore, it's a win for me.

That’s very good advice but 6 months a talk are too many imho. One talk / public meeting per month (even virtual meetings) is kicking enough to keep you going without feeling isolated. It’s also a nice way to improve your networking attitude.
I agree with the creative exercise component. Do you have a check list to make sure everything is collected? How well does this scale up?
I find it astonishing that the "Conservative" party has exposed itself to a huge level of political risk by becoming the "Brexit / English Nationalist" Party and implementing such a hard Brexit.

When the impact of Brexit on daily lives and the fact that most / all of the promises made during the referendum won't be realised there must be a risk of a huge backlash.

They have a large majority at the moment but there are definite signs of cracks appearing. Short term political gain vs long term risk.

I think for a while BitChute [1] was like what you describe. There are probably other platforms created in response to censorship and I suspect they stay mostly uncensored until they get popular and/or try to monetize videos. Eventually they get enough pressure from their local governments, investors, financial institutions and will take the same path as YT or get taken down. To add to your thought experiment, maybe the platform would remain less censored for some time if it were started by an incredibly wealthy philanthropist and had no desire to make money from it. The ties to financial institutions make it hard to be a neutral platform as they will have their own policies for what content investors and advertisers find acceptable. The financial institutions are heavily inter-connected internationally. So maybe the answer is to keep the monetized content on YT and just accept that their content is heavily regulated. Then create a similar platform that is not tied to any financial institutions at all. Incorporate the company and put their headquarters and servers in a country that has minimal content regulations. The remaining challenges will be finding CDN's, DNS providers and ISP's that can also remain neutral.

I've often heard that local politics influence your day-to-day life substantially more than national politics. There's a corollary there that national politics simply don't have that much effect on your day-to-day.

This was true in the Trump era. Prior to the pandemic, by most metrics America was doing very well in Trump's first few years. The economy was doing well, unemployment was low, and even metrics like African-American unemployment were reaching historically low levels. For the average American who didn't pay attention to the news, that time period was probably one where you had a job, it paid well, and things were looking good. But if you listened to the media you'd think that America was literally burning to the ground.
> I've ordered stuff from the UK, even though I was told I won't be able to.

Who said you can’t. I also ordered there but stopped doing because customs handling adds high fees now. I get charged a flat 10 EUR on top of every order and 20% VAT. Many online stores already charge me UK VAT first so I end up paying VAT twice and the refunding process is burdensome.

> I can go back to live there with little problem if I want despite being told otherwise.

Lucky you. I’m a EU citizen and either in the UK for a few years. I’m not settled and I can’t go back. I would need a corporate visa sponsor and would end up coupled to said employer with no legal protections.

> They did so much better at vaccinating because the EU didn't screw things for them like for all the member nations etc.

Maybe. But right now we’re pretty even and the situation looks better in the EU. Definitely have more freedoms than my British friends right now.

I have yet to see something positive to come out of Brexit. Even the good vaccination program happened while EU rules were still in effect.
This article does have a lot of fearmongering, but it is really important to be clear that pregnant women do need to take care, especially during their 3rd trimester.

I'm a fairly lucky victim of toxoplasmosis - I'm legally blind in one eye because the parasite rampaged through the retina with the end result being a lot of scar tissue and only a little peripheral vision left.

Tangential to this, it's amazing how far technology has come. I was diagnosed in the mid-80s, and that required going to a hospital that had specialists and the necessary equipment to take pictures of the retina, and the entire process took the better part of a day (waiting for the pictures to develop took quite a bit of that time, of course). By the late 90s, a few optometrists were getting the necessary equipment to do this during a normal eye exam, although it still required drops to dilate the pupils. Today many optometrists have equipment that don't require dilation and since they're using digital cameras, they can look at results immediately.

Man I fucking love EU for all the small things regular people don't see which affect especially us smaller countries like Croatia when we joined. All the standards we had to adopt and regulations and consumer protections which never would have happened otherwise. Fun fact: Croatia had a referendum whether people want to join or not but they specifically changed the law before the referendum because the interest was so low. They made it so that referendums can pass even if the turnout is under 50%. Then afterwards we had a huge swath of random referendums because of this so they changed the law back to pre EU referendum rules. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Croatian_European_Union_m...

And your basing all of this off of experience? Some churches banish you so then all do? Did you read revelations where some groups are not following the word? So you and God have the same complaint. Interesting huh?

Also Christians are not the ones forgiving. You’re asking for forgiveness from God himself. They’re not supposed to judge in the first place. It’s considered a sin. So all you’ve discovered here is literally written in the Bible as a negative.
One hack I've seen is to have a box that sits inside your room with one end butted up against the window screen, and a regular air conditioner that is mounted on the other side of the box. The screen-end of the box would have 4 fans, two blowing in and two blowing out that would vent the heat exchanger side of the AC with outside air. Yet there would still be no AC box visible from outside the building.

Indeed, AWS has both made it more difficult to create a world-readable S3 bucket, and made it much more obvious in the UI. Some things I've noticed just clicking around the S3 console right now:

- There is an account-level S3 setting to instruct S3 to ignore public access grants in all buckets in that account (i.e. no matter how bucket is configured, public access is impossible).

- The list of S3 buckets in the S3 console homepage includes a prominent column saying if a bucket is private or not. Buckets that allow public access have a warning icon and red color in this column to make them stand out.

- When creating a new bucket, the default is "Block Public Access settings for this bucket". If you change this, it gives you a warning and asks you to check a box saying "I acknowledge that the current settings might result in this bucket and the objects within becoming public"

- When editing a bucket's access control list, if you grant public access, it asks you to acknowledge "When you grant access to the Everyone or Authenticated users group grantees, anyone in the world can access the objects in this bucket."

- Whenever you are looking at file listings or settings of a bucket with a public access rule in its ACL, the S3 console includes a prominent red "Publicly accessible" next to the bucket name in the top nav on every page

IMO, this is significantly better than how it used to be, and helps reduce or, with the account-level setting on, fully-eliminate accidentally public buckets.

The reality is that proper cross-account IAM role based access is still a little tricky to set up and difficult to test without coordinating with the other party, which means that this won't stop people looking to transfer data to some other account from making a bucket public and assuming it's OK as long as there is an obscure name for the bucket.
There is an idea in human culture that we make decisions by looking at the evidence and then changing our minds to coincide with the truth. In this world unlimited Free Speech makes sense.

But humans do not do this. We make decisions based on what others around us are doing, on what the people we see as our team are doing, to show that we belong, no matter how stupid or ignorant those decisions are. In this world, unlimited Free Speech creates chaos. And that is the world we live in now.

Free Speech is a good. But it is not the highest good. And the sooner we realize that the better off all humans will be.

If the Cat is worth $200 to a thief because of all the precious metals in it, how can a cheapo cat cost only $50?

The cheapo cat doesn't have many precious metals in, and barely is doing its job. The sniff test done at the annual inspection doesn't typically test for all types of gas. So probably the cheapo one might 'pass the test' but still be far from meeting the law.

Either that or the makers of cheapo knock-off catalytic converters have some amazing R&D that even the OEM's can't figure out...

The funniest part is that this data is actually mostly (and often completely) useless for the stated purposes of statistical analysis. Routine clinical data collection is of abysmal quality, but many buyers don't see the full extent of the catastrophe.

It'll be much more useful for legal and not-so-legal purposes. And last but not least: insurance. As an aside, privacy enforcement for medical data is much easier through fingerprinting tethered to a NDA.

You have to compare to what the UK would be doing within the EU, though. Also, these things take years to sort out. It's only been 6 months, and the British government is already reneging on the rules it approved in Brexit agreement. We'll see if all this fawning on the US is worth alienating the rest of Europe.

The UK is a great country. Over the long term it'll probably be fine, if it manages not to disintegrate. Even I, as a European, could see some possible upsides to Brexit. Not worth the downsides, but still. However, it requires playing it well and subtly, which the current government (and the couple of previous ones; Britain has been terribly governed for a long time)seems intent on not doing. It requires pragmatism, not ideology. At the moment it is looking weak and desperate. For example, I really cannot understand how someone would think that the UK was exploited as part of the single market, but the Australian farce is acceptable. Or why the TPP is an idea worth antagonising most of Europe.

We gained more fascism.

- Channel 4 heavily criticised the PM and pulled an ice-statue-replacement stunt after he failed to show for an interview, so they're being sold off.

- Johnson wants to strip electoral watchdog of prosecution powers

- Threatening to reduce the power of the Supreme Court

- Department of Education strongly encouraged schools to make children sing a One Britain, One Nation song (it's as bad as it sounds)

- Heavily trying to push through a Bill to ban protest, including single-person "protests"

- Government often completely bypasses Parliament, by making announcements outside of Parliament, much to the chagrin of the Speaker. This is weird as they have a whopping majority, so it's very deliberate what they're doing.

- Gov is looking at withdrawing from European Convention on Human Rights

- Priti Patel

- Taking control of BBC with cronies in top jobs

- Requiring ID for voting (blatant voter suppression). We do not have a fraud problem.

> I'm embarrassed to be British now.

I'll go one step further, I am embarrassed there are Brits like you who are "embarrassed".

It's incredibly arrogant and self-centred to share your feelings under the impression you speak for a majority of UK nationals.

My best friend is Polish and was recently naturalised in this country, they were very proud of becoming a citizen.

If you are embarrassed then please leave this country, its better for us all that way.
> There are plenty of poorer cities where the police have been involuntarily "defunded" by NYC or SF funding standards and they don't have the rampant petty crime that many west coast cities seem to.

The thing is: where there are a lot of juicy targets (e.g. tourists), there will automatically be more petty crimes. As a robber you'll have more profit going around and snatching airpods or phones from a ride in the NYC subway than from walking around in some shoddy 'hood in a flyover state.

> Defunding the police isn't the problem. IMO a stretched thin PD is a well behaved PD.

Actually not, because a "stretched thin" force is more likely to shoot first or otherwise use excessive force to get a suspect under control and ask questions later than to use de-escalative tactics which require extensive training (in Germany cop training is a three year thing for exactly that reason vs. the average 21 weeks in the US). If you want police to approach sensitive stuff like domestic violence or rape in an appropriate manner, the officers will need to have both the training and the time for doing so.

> The problem seems to be related to all the policy baggage that comes with the "defund the police" crowd.

And what "policy baggage" is that? To require a social worker to come with and eventually be leading the response to a domestic violence call isn't baggage, it's the whole point of the thing.

Over the last decade, most speech-to-text services admitted keeping and humans listening to source recordings beyond what was disclosed in terms of service.

In fact, one of the early “AI/ML” transcription services (which at the time blew away competitors including Google) turned out to be almost zero machine processing, almost entirely a human transcription farm in Egypt.

With almost 100% of the services, including those provided by members of FAANG, admitting this, it seems the risk/reward calc didn’t deter, and a “give the benefit of the doubt” algo seems inappropriate.
In our market we don’t have CARB but an OEM cat for a Mazda Rx8 retails at £1300. An aftermarket like for like is £800 (there are cheaper “race” cats but its a different product with less of the expensive precious metals inside).

Edit: a fairer example would be a ford focus - one of the most popular cars in the uk. £200 aftermarket main cat, £70 aftermarket pre-cat.
Second this - excel seems to work well unless you have a large number of requirements or you need to do multi-level tracing. Scripts can help with the later.
>I mean, having best-years-of-4chan-like content everywhere. With some form of self-moderation, like subreddits, for sure.

It's an interesting thought. I rather like the idea as the different political kinks of the big companies are rather obvious. You'd still have the problem of moderation in terms of various types of pornography (country specific), automated cruft/spam and the edge conditions of various degrees of violence in videos. Of course, Usenet seemed to manage just fine.

Maybe the problem is that a system like youtube or Facebook is monolithic. Placing responsibility in one groups' lap can't be a healthy thing in the long run. That, and people shouldn't get so triggered by what they see on a little screen.

There are a few programs out there that let you build sets using the ldraw spec.

A good place to start is
https://www.ldraw.org/
https://www.ldraw.org/downloads-2/third-party-software.html

They had plugins for awhile that exported to 3d programs (blender, pov, etc) for awhile if I remember correctly. There are also links to semi reasonable CAD style programs. There is another editor someone recently came out with (the name escapes me at the moment) that looks very promising.

I would combine the ldraw programs with sites like brickset and others to get the exact pieces in the sets I knew I owned. That way I could build things in 3d then build them for real. I think one of the programs I used had a instruction builder too that you could print out.
