It's hard to give up the convenience and fast delivery (with Amazon Prime) though. In my experience, I haven't run into many problems with fraud or fake products (that I know of). I try to avoid third party sellers and only order from Amazon or the seller.

It's an article called "How to Work Hard" that doesn't once mention luck, psychology, or basic human needs.

What do you get from the success how-tos of multi-millionares? Do you really not see it as self-serving? Disclose survivorship bias, incredible privilege, and impossible odds and I'm in... I think? At that point I'm still unclear why the rich have something useful to say here that Maslow or other academics don't.
I'm not especially bothered that they read my data. I'm bothered that they read anyone's data. I'm a pretty boring frontend engineer who doesn't do very much, but I appreciate that there are people who aren't me whose data needs to remain private. Journalists, activists, whistleblowers, politicians, people in abusive relationships, people who are victims of crimes like stalking, etc need privacy to do things that are genuinely in the public interest, and sometimes simply to remain safe. If I accept Google, FB, IG, etc reading my data then I am condoning those companies reading the data of people who rely on privacy for more important things than I do.

Essentially... it's not about me. It's about everyone.
> the output belongs to the operator, just like with a compiler.

No it really is not that easy, as with compilers it depends on who owned the source and which license(s) they applied on it.

Or would you say I can compile the Linux kernel and the output belongs to me, as compiler operator, and I can do whatever I want with it without worrying about the GPL at all?

A trademark for a common item (like a T-shirt or a voltmeter) seems to cost about $350 through the USPTO, if you do it yourself and your goods are listed in their directory.
If your goods are oddball (like glass or woolen nonorientable manifolds) then you have to use a more expensive system which starts at $450 and escalates depending on how many different types of goods you're trademarking.

Thought the same about the crane. Surely there is a way you could adjust these to avoid the crane? As in, have a pulley mechanism that could be built into the frame to lower the floor? And roof panels that slide across rather than fold over?

But I guess you need to deliver the thing, and that means truck and crane anyway, unless they're towed to site and the trailer is part of it. Couldn't slide it off a trailer without damaging it. Unless you reinvent the trailer which significantly ramps up your costs.

One of the problems is that many foreign sellers have opaque addresses, through which it's impossible to contact. Specifically, a PinYin address is very difficult to reliably send mail to. Making it worse is that Amazon does not list any email address to contact for their Brand Registry. Together, this means that I have nobody to easily contact.

Jimmy Lai + affiliates getting stomped for colluding with foreign forces is long overdue. Zero reason for HK publisher to meet with Pompeo and other US officials. Ditto with other politicians charged with collusion, i.e. those who asked US for sanctions to counter "one country" interests. One thing PRC intelligence is good at is catching spies and crushing foreign influence. The PRC "One System" which always had full authority over foreign policy and enforcing national security. This is 1Country2Systems finally working as intended.

Two systems still exists - major orgs like HK Free Press still publishing as well as TheStrand mentioned in this article. It's merely finally reconciling with the 1country part that was suppose to be principal/take precedence over 2systems, but wasn't due to HK's inability to pass NSL for 20+ years. Have to wait and see how chilling effect recalibrates/normalizes after current phase of crackdown calms, i.e. see if HKFP and co still continues publishing or also get the rope. In which case 2system is truly dead. In the meantime, it's finally 1Country2Systems instead of just 2Systems, which was never tenable.
There's one argument I don't understand when people complain about the current state of affairs:

Most of the (popular) internet depends on FAANG corporations today, sure, but it's not like in the 90s people were hosting their own html. We were depending on Geocities, for example. What's the difference?

Also, today is easier than ever to connect to the internet and host your own website, why doesn't more people go down this route? Security? Bandwidth? Maintenance? (If so, then there's clearly a lot of value in the services that FAANGs provide)

This is a good research topic but my opinion differs

- The article claims that the forgetting of 90% is an underrated problem. I think it’s generally a feature that enables us to converse, read stories, and live. It’s a garbage collector. More specifically, however, it gets in the way when we learn new things. You read something important, have an aha moment, but then forget it a minute later when your short-term memory gets refilled. And so you need to run into the same important thing multiple times before it really sticks with you.

- The article claims that the time element is of upmost importance. I think it’s important only in very specific cases, and generally unimportant. The passing of time also makes the value of it decay.

- The article claims that new notes are better than re-working old ones. I feel the opposite is my preference. You re-work your knowledge, review, correct, and restructure it. What matters is your current understanding, not how you arrived there, or what your 0.1 version was. The art is in simplification and distillation over time, not accumulation.
Blackboard isn't a good example here. They are mostly discussed for their questionable business practices and shit product.
Dates are set against calendar which in turn is set against hourly increments that are offset by local time zones. There is the infamous AoE or "Anywhere on Earth" time zone which can be used to say things like "we won't start until after the 16th Anywhere on Earth", meaning it will at least be the 17th in all timezones before the work gets started, but even in that case, you're referring to an implicit time zone.
> It's changing but not at a rate that will be of any impact to humanity

Yet here we are, with "once in a century" floods, fires, hurricanes and heat waves happening nearly every year in the past decade. Are you claiming these don't have "any impact on humanity"?

> We've been warming since the last ice age.

It has gone up and done over the centuries, but absolutely not at the rate that it has been (completely coincidentally) since the start of the industrial age. If you look at any graph of average temperature, there's a huge spike in the past few decades. When in history has there been a sudden spike like this in such a short period of time?
So many countries just need to stop being delusional about AC. Many people will need one within the next decade. But you can’t just install it in many European countries. So people end up buying portable AC units which have terrible energy efficiency. This makes the climate problem even worse.

I'm sorry, your vehicle is no longer safe to drive because it is not receiving software updates anymore. Too bad.

It makes me really sad that there were basically two true EVs mass-produced for highway-speed use (the Tesla Roadster and the Nissan Leaf) before we permanently and irreversibly transitioned to "smartphone on wheels". I will not be buying any of those.
So either his prediction or expectation will be correct.

I think I’ll side with his expectation, but then again, my salary depends on it.
I have always had very good experiences with eBay. Several times I’ve been screwed on Amazon. With eBay I can also add a lot of filters to my search which I like. I can immediately exclude items shipped directly from China. Or search for something within 100km so I know I can just go pick it up. eBay has just been so much better from my experience.
Yes, it is, especially if a user doesn't want to be tracked. Flag the website as malicious and the problem would go away quickly. It doesn't serve any purpose anyway. Companies as advertising consumers just want to be on equal footing.
It's fairly low effort curation based off public reviews of books. The problem with such things is that it's hard to gauge the quality of review or the subject matter expertise of the reviewer. Curation should ideally be performed by someone who is an expert in the field, has deep knowledge on the subjects and has actually consumed the content in order to make the judgement call on whether it passes the bar or not. Otherwise, it's nothing more than a listing of most popular books.

Are the listed dimensions correct?

On the https://framelabs.eu/en/technische-daten/ page both the 6″ and the 9.7″ is listed as being 222×309 mm, which is roughly the size of DIN A4.

Could you check the sizes, please?

i love the look of elementary and how consistent all the ui is but the last time i tried i really missed being able to resize and move windows with the super key.

on pop, super + right click and drag lets you resize when your cursor is in any corner of a window, and the same but with a left click lets you move a window even if your cursor is at the bottom of a window. it makes it so quick and easy to arrange windows that ive never bothered with pop's tiling manager.

it was a long time that i tried elementary though so they may have added that feature by now

When programmers get tired, some take a break, but others write more code than they need to because they can no longer think clearly.

Haha I mean sure, I'm not saying German unis are the best at all, and there are plenty of reasons to go to other countries, especially if you're German. It's just pretty absurd to say that Germany does not have good unis, and that that's a reflection of a culture that doesn't value excellence. That just seems like a misleading generalisation at best, or his personal frustration at worst. (I'm neither English, American, nor German btw)
> The only viable contenders

You gotta explore the Internet more.

“Viable” is quite subjective. I, an American, do not perceive services from oppressive regimes as such. Features and UX aren’t enough.

Regarding the dominance of FAANG, that’s temporary. Xerox Parc, HP, Oracle, &c were behemoths in their time. What happened? Better products and companies supplanted the old guards.

I refuse to believe the dominance of a handful of companies cannot be overcome.

Do you know what Facebook and Google use your personal sensitive data for? Do you trust them to keep this data secure and private?

If you can't even answer the first question, don't even bother attempting to answer the second. Every-time you use Sign in with Facebook or Google, they add another datapoint from one service to your profile on their systems. Tons of users use this sign up method and Google and Facebook know what you signed up to.

Combined with their billions in cash, insurmountable data-points, users and data, they can create products that are extremely personalised and trick us into giving away more sensitive data, with their highly user-friendly (and rigorously tested) interface. It will now take just ONE username on any service and include the linked profiles and that is it.

They are now coming after your health records. Do you want them to know about that? The line should have been drawn years ago.
Narh, the Chinese government's actions are unforgivable. As are the actions of others who did the same thing.

The processors in there are still probably fast enough, they will just be hotter and consume more battery power (and the battery capacity is diminished). If they have more RAM and maybe an SSD + run Linux they'll be fine. A modern OS (windows 10 or Linux is a must). I have a laptop from 2011 and it runs fine.

Maybe devise a test which you can do with your boss? Write down 10 common tasks and try them out on one of the computers.
> Why is it that people are worried about their Google and Facebook data as opposed to the data at their health insurer or at their bank or their local government?

Fear of someone finding out about their affair or embarrassing proclivities bites harder than fear of insurance malfeasance. Even if either could derail their life.
A static type system often requires a deeper understanding. It won't compile if there's a small type error, by contrast the same error in a dynamic type system either doesn't exist or doesn't show up until runtime

To me, the main point was always the need to refresh the knowledge. Ive built a note taking webapp (http://rekowl.com), that will pop up some of your older notes for review, not unsimilar to anki.

the pseudo-reasonable ones will try to claim that, yes there is global warming, but that it's not caused by humans and is a normal part of climate on earth. Hell I already see a few in this very thread...

I'm still convinced that these are generally older people who want to enjoy their lives as it is and don't give a single fuck about the future of humanity and future generations.

>>"Nice write-up of how this scam works, I wasn't aware of the details previously."

I still don't understand how it works. Why can somebody owning something called "Amvoom" claim something called "Acme Klein Bottle"?

An even if they legally own the brand, how keeping the reviews when moving the brand to the new owner is the proper thing to do for the customers? By definition, the reviews are for another provider. I don't get it.
Maybe that makes you incompatible with Amazon, because they are about unbounded growth for its own sake!

Small is beautiful! Stay small!

If 1.57 is "just less than 2", I am just less than 8 ft tall.

I am a staunch believer in the dangers of climate change, but it's easy to see why people are skeptical of arguments like this. The evidence is compelling enough that it doesn't need to be massaged into more.
Happy user of Ex Falso here. I agree with your comment regarding gui: I absolutely require a way to verify what these kinds of operations will be doing to potentially thousands of files, and cmdline applications are thoroughly unsuited for that, if they even have functionality like that, which they almost never do.

CNRS is not comparable to Oxford in any meaningful way. It’s more similar to a funding organization, although it directly employs researchers.

Most CNRS labs are attached to university departments and their researchers teach in standard university courses.

It would be more useful to consider them as parts of the host department.
