Our entire society functions on the idea that consumption is good. And our desire for more crap is destroying our planet's ability to sustain us indefinitely into the future.

So whenever I hear all these complaints about companies acting in their interests - rather than for the common good - I wonder what planet I'm living on.

Until we accept that governments not only have a right, but a duty, to force us to reduce our consumption - rather than encouraging it - we're going to continue down the drain. Market forces and greed will not fix this problem.
Marketing moves all deals forward. Sales moves specific ones forward.
“We skipped that and haven't implemented any vim backend at all ... so its the vim code base with terminal UI stuff stripped out, and an interface added for us to hook into it.”

You took out the most important part!

I don’t know about other people, but I became a vim user because I found myself configuring servers and needed to know a better text editor than nano.

Vim is also my primary code editor these days but portability is still a killer feature.
I recall that affecting SystemD, it is a different issue.

Generally at least the Linux kernel does not use RDRAND, even on Intel systems. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDRAND#Reception )

The third party that had this issue only mentioned problems with their Ryzen 1 chip and replacing it (I forget if it was with a 2000 series or 3000 series chip) which resulted in those issues finally ceasing.
Perfect. You quoted Wikipedia, not the report you claim has the information. Wikipedia cited the WP. WP cited 'secret'.

How do we know it? "CIA told us." Why do we believe it? "CIA told us." What evidence do we have? "CIA told us so." How'd they come to this conclusion? "That's for them to know and us to take in faith." Do they have a history of lying? "Yes." To Congress? "Yes." Are there any consequences for this? "No." Okay, so you want to steer our country and globe like this? "Yes."

Onivim doesn’t use vscode. It’s a from scratch implementation that doesn’t use electron, but they do replicate the vscode plugin system so they can be compatible with it.
Why do you think that there will be actual checks for this list. This is just a list intended for OEMs that build new machines. NO WAY there will be cpuid checks to exclude your processor specifically.
OK? So you log into a website with an email and password and you're OK with moving the cookie to another computer and using it there, rather than having to re-prove that it's you? I don't think you know what a TPM does honestly, there's a clear ignorance in this thread as to how this identity functions - it does not have privacy or tracking implications.
Bitcoin myths: immutability, decentralisation, and the cult of "21 million"
Turn any link into a suspicious looking one
Just to be clear though, there is not a whole lot of places you can transact from Bitcoin to goods and services. Those that do accept it, pin it to the usd… so Bitcoin is only used as an exchange of value for USD. That is still zero sum. $1 in $1 out

You are correct mining is at least surface level not zero sum. If you apply the assumption that the energy, computing equipment and time were worth less than the resulting btc. But given the fact it has no intrinsic value… is only valuable in exchanging between fiats… I don’t think those assumptions hold.
> feels like the article has some anti-capitalism undertones...

What a knee-jerk sensationalist review of the article. It makes a fair point about why some consumers like the stores, and others welcome its convenience. Is that some major controversy? In fact much of the article could be taken as positive (pro-capitalistic) review of their strategy, a case study in making lots of money the old fashioned way.
Anecdotally (though studies like [1] seem to confirm this), I've found that tomatoes are quite sensitive to transportation and storage. To me, garden tomatoes taste fantastic; the ones at the local farmers' market taste pretty good too; supermarket tomatoes are only good for making tomato sauce. I wonder whether the tomatoes you ate as a kid had been transported over long distances.

Also anecdotally, I haven't found any other fruit or vegetable that exhibits such a drastic contrast. Maybe persimmons, but I haven't had that many supermarket persimmons. For most fruits and veggies, I've found the supermarket ones tend to taste roughly the same as garden grown ones. Indeed, sometimes I prefer the supermarket version, e.g. for apples.

Anecdotally, this has been my personal experience. I have gone through phases of my life where I ate a lot of junk food. I would feel constantly hungry during those phases, until I ate something nutritious, green and easily-digestible, like steamed broccoli or green peas.
With every market there's a timing element and a large part of it revolves around exactly those kinds of marketing considerations. The right product at the wrong time won't get traction because they're taking a space already occupied by some incumbent - but offering when there's hype and interest around your category and a lot of first-time customer potential gets you in the door unchallenged, hence why there are distinct "generational waves" of startups that find a growth segment and sink their teeth in it at the right moment.
Of course. As a Russian I would want Russia to be right. As a Gibraltarian I would take their side.

Tomatoes are particularly egregious. There are still tomatoes that taste good, but you won't find them in most grocery stores. Scientists are working on some genetic engineering to make a tomato that's mechanically strong enough to withstand commercial growing and shipping, but still tastes good. In the meantime, you have to search for real tomatoes at specialty grocery stores and farmers' markets.

There's nothing medically wrong with the approach, however protein based pharmaceuticals are slow and expensive to manufacture, which isn't ideal when you are trying to vaccinate millions of people, cheaply.

To manufacture a protein you need to create a genetically modified bacteria that contains the DNA for that protein, grow a large batch of this bacteria (which can be difficult at scale), and then break open the bacteria filter out all the other proteins and just keep the one you want.

This is why the mRNA is so elegant, it gives your body the instructions to manufacture the protein itself.

Okay, so I want to acknowledge that just because one might find a source to be generally dubious doesn't discredit everything that source says. But I don't think it's unreasonable to posit that if a lot of what a source is displaying as "news" seems generally dubious, it casts a bit of a dim light on all articles they publish.

And the actual front home page article on personalliberty.com is "Thanks to the efforts of the Independent Institute, Judicial Watch, and, especially, AIER, there can be NO QUESTION that lockdowns were disastrous policies that imposed enormous costs for no discernible benefit and that government mask mandates have no scientific basis." Really? No question, you say? Hmm. The rest of the front page articles are a weird mix of pro-Trump opinion ("Enjoying a fast internet during the lockdown? Thank Trump's FCC"), quackish-sounding medical claims ("the fruit that provides irritable bowl disease protection"), survivalist advice ("food and water storage now!"), and paleoconservativism a la Lew Rockwell ("Globalist elite-endorsed war on cash may be China's new and terrifying weapon"). This seems to basically be a project of one Bob Livingston, a self-described "ultra-conservative American" whose "suspicions of government and politics carried over into so-called orthodox medicine," and who is very, very interested in selling you a subscription to The Bob Livingston Letter®, on a "mission to expose those who would rob us of our hard-earned wealth or sap our precious health to make us more docile and controllable." (These are, again, all quotes from either personalliberty.com or boblivingstonletter.com, and he is the one who is making himself sound like a villain from Dr. Strangelove, not me.)

So, again, this account from Bosnia could be perfectly legitimate, given how bad things were there during the war, but it's at least worth keeping in mind that it is a story which fits perfectly into a narrative that Bob Livingston truly, sincerely believes in and would like to tell you more about for the low price of $19.95/year.

David Gerard is an odd person, he spends a lot of time discussing something he evidently hates. I expect in part it is because he makes a living from it.

Bitcoin has been around for over a decade and the technology hasn't changed much in that time, so what else is there to say about it at this stage, other than to criticize the same issues in different words.

Calling Hancock hopeless is almost certainly a reference to text messages sent by the Prime Minister calling Hancock "totally fucking useless" and the fact jilted former adviser Dominic Cummings [2] said Hancock "should have been fired for at least, 15-20 things"

Of course, you might very well ask if Hancock is so bad, why did the PM keep him as health secretary during perhaps the biggest health crisis of all time?

It's possible Hancock isn't all that bad, and we're just seeing political manoeuvring here to make Hancock take the blame for the lack of PPE, the failure to keep even a single new variant out of the country, the failure to protect care homes, the cheating to hit testing targets, the inept track-and-trace effort run by cronies, the insistence on keeping borders wide open and allowing foreign holidays, the dodgy supply contracts given out to friends and family, and so on.

Because the games don't take advantage of the higher bandwidth. In fact, they probably don't even take advantage of the SSD, because games are still built so that they work when installed on spinning drives. The advantage of SSDs is the random access time, but if you are streaming continuous data, it's only about triple the speed of an HDD.

A NVME PCIe 4.0 SSD can be up to 15 times faster than a SATA SSD. The difference is much much bigger.
Which part of the first paragraph do you take issue with? You admit the third. So, "basically completely" here appears to mean just the second paragraph. Do you disagree that gravitation of protons is so many orders of magnitude away from measurement? How many orders of magnitude away is it, then?

> Any new Windows version has transformed the previous generation of PCs into trash since people moved from DOS as a main user interface to Windows 3.

The difference is that earlier hardware upgrades were important and did improve performance heavily. 2001 just saw the advent of 1 Ghz CPUs [0]. In 2011, quad-core CPUs at 3.5 Ghz were the standard, probably a performance upgrade of an order of magnitude, at least. But since then? The i5 2500 does still hold a bit of water to the Ryzen 5 5600 [0]. Sure, it has more cores and more single-core performance, but it's nowhere near that much of a difference. Windows 10 still runs perfectly fine on this hardware, even better than Windows 7 did - and not by accident, MS did optimize that!

This is absolutely a new low for Microsoft.

Nationalism/subsidies/protectionism are a valid way to nurture a startup.

But you can definitely grow to a point where that's no longer necessary. That's why people got so terrified of Huawei: it wasn't that they were subsisting only on forced 'buy-domestic' orders from China, it was that they were able to produce products that were competitive enough for overseas customers to willingly buy them.

I'm not defending Microsoft, personally my belief is that:

a) The intel stuff they're pushing is silly and should be loosened, and made part of their Windows 10 label OEM thing

b) TPM 2.0 will be a massive step forward for security, possibly the most significant since XP Service Pack 2, and I understand why Microsoft is getting aggressive about this.

Frankly, I think most people discussing this don't seem to know what the hell they're talking about. I'm really just presenting facts.
