>You seem to be accusing the person you are responding to of being Brewdog? Or are you trying to promote Brewdog by publicising their deliberate controversies?

There is no such implication on both counts. I am flabbergasted by how you have arrived at your conclusion.
Yes you can boot Linux with secure boot on UEFI as long you use a preloader like shim, graciously signed by Microsoft. That’s what most distribution are doing.

With the access to the UEFI, you can add your own trusted key, without needing to rely on Microsoft good will on signing your preloader.
Wow, 100W seems very underpowered as a charger for a gaming laptop. USB-C really isn't a good choice in this case.
Step 1, for the highest likelihood of success, is to get into the circle of someone pretty high-up the chain already, or otherwise to get someone with an audience to hand you a megaphone, metaphorically speaking. Beware that navigating your way up that chain may be... cut-throat, and you're more likely to end up overworked and exploited or tossed aside for convenience than joining others on the good side of the grift.

Otherwise, invent a character you think right-wingers would like and play the character on YouTube or similar. See how it goes. Low-cost, might work.
Actually, the plan was to redistribute part of the collected tax back to the population. You would get each year a certain amount of money. If you do not emit CO2 (i.e. do not drive, do not fly, have a clean heating system), you would actually earn money.
> If it was, anyone walking down the street playing music would be violating copyright.

I believe this is the case, yes.
Sticking tombstones in the backing array doesn't actually cost you anything though. The backing array still needs to be the same size. Like maybe you end up having to re-hash more often?

>Because of Hyrum's law even if you don't promise ordering (as Python's "Compact Dict" developer proposes at one point) your users will rely upon it and you're stuck with whatever you implemented. This is a real cost for a language or standard library. Look at the sad state of C++ standard collections.

Yes but this cost goes away if you commit to it, and the alternative (like what go does) to force the order to change all the time also comes with a complexity cost vs. doing "nothing" and having the order be arbitrary and sometimes, but not actually, reliable.
The video, including Taylor Swift music, is available on YouTube and has not been removed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmZmo81Cdcc

I suspect the idea that they can play music in the background to prevent YouTube views is a misconception about how the system actually works.

I like both pen&paper RPGs and programming and it's certainly an interesting idea, but ultimately the analogy is very stretched.

The goal of RPG is for everybody to have fun. The goal of IT project is to deliver.

If everything goes smoothly for the players they are bored and Game Master is not doing her job correctly. The solution is to create problems that challenge players.

If everything goes smoothly at work everybody is satisified and manager is doing great. Nobody's going to praise the manager "That new requirement we discovered at the last moment was such a great plot twist! The whole month I wasn't sure if we'll make it before the deadline!"
I think you’ll find hints of the answer in the fact that most countries are pretty bad at collecting taxes from the rich already. It is fairly easy if you are rich to hide your wealth and evade taxes. I suspect it might be a little more difficult for a publicly traded company to hide its wealth the same way.
Yes, they made thinner phones but they made more huge and heavy. Nowadays it's nearly impossible to find a phone that has a screen smaller than 6". I mean, to me it's too much, it can even fit in some of my pockets!

Give me back the old phones, removable battery, more thick, but more compact in the end, and more easy to carry around. The bigger screen it's in the end useless to me.
You didn’t ask a question in the previous comment. So, I commented.

I don’t know what weight loss ads look like. I don’t generally know what any ads look like thanks to blockers. If I were to guessing would guess they aren’t any good.

Yet, I do personally know people who lost weight which lead to better health from weight loss programs. They aren’t the new fads.

I think it’s very much worth talking about weight and health in our culture. Not just the mental health stopping shaming but the physical health around things like heart disease, the biggest killer of Americans according to the CDC.

I empathize but I just don't like the narrative here where it's all the internet fault and cancel culture has gone too far or whatever.

If you tell someone they're ugly you're a dick and if you tell someone they're ugly and they go home and shoot themselves you're still a dick but you're certainly not responsible for their death.

Apparently we aren't mature enough to have a discussion about reasonably expected consequences here though.

I don’t disagree but it seems less like they’re taking a blanket approach like that and more like they’re targeting this industry for other reasons.
> putting a strong passive magnet in a phone is just asking for trouble. Not only can it interfere with medical devices, but it will also gather up iron particles in the environment that will scratch up the back of your phone.

Not to mention the effects on the magnetic strips of credit cards, hotel keys, and other pocket-likely items one may be carrying with the phone. I'm shocked this hasn't caused more commonplace hassle if the magnet is strong enough to throw the reed switch in a pacemaker.
OP: thanks for sharing! If you notice slow app startup times, it may be snap: I decided not to publish a snap version of PhotoStructure due to extremely poor performance (especially on low powered VPSes).

Also, know that there are tons of alternative DAMs! Alex recently wrote up a good overview on arstechnica (I was delighted that PhotoStructure tied for first place in a couple categories):

Her point is that no country can survive with zero tax. Everyone knows that. In order to have roads, schools, hospitals, parks, police, you need everyone to chip in, specially huge corporations who know how to subvert the system for their own benefit (meaning their shareholders)
The people in HK and Taiwan overwhelmingly consider themselves to be Chinese and part of China, regardless of their opinion of the PRC.
I agree. I've just seen evidence of police being the primary source of escalation too many times.
The quote that is making headlines around the world is this:

"We Chinese are a people who uphold justice and are not intimidated by threats of force. As a nation, we have a strong sense of pride and confidence. We have never bullied, oppressed, or subjugated the people of any other country, and we never will. By the same token, we will never allow any foreign force to bully, oppress, or subjugate us. Anyone who would attempt to do so will find themselves on a collision course with a great wall of steel forged by over 1.4 billion Chinese people."

Second this. Been on FA for at least half a decade and it’s great.
Funny, in the same media outlet there are two different translations of the same speech. Emphasis mine:

The first one:
...we will never allow any foreign force to bully, oppress, or subjugate us. Anyone who would attempt to do so will __find themselves on a collision course__ with a great wall of steel forged by over 1.4 billion Chinese people.

The second one (https://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/Xi-vows-to-crush-meddling-f...):
the Chinese people will never allow any outside forces to bully, oppress or enslave us. Anyone who tries to do so will __be crushed to death before__ the Great Wall of steel built with the flesh and blood of over 1.4 billion Chinese people.

That’s what taxing corporate income (or more targeted, corporate assets) attempts to do: tax the wealthy. Because by-and-large, wealthy people don’t accomplish the things they want to do by drawing an income and then spending it; but rather by setting up corporate vehicles that have their goal as the corporate mission statement, and then getting other corporations to fund its treasury (as negotiated compensation in deals) rather than funding them personally.

Think about it like this: when I want to buy a house, I buy a house. When a billionaire wants to buy a house, they create a property management company (as a subsidiary of their existing business interests) that buys and rents out the house, negotiate for their existing business interests to fund it, and then they rent the house from that PMC.

Excess liquid assets sitting in a large corporation’s treasury, are essentially sitting in the wallets of its directors. They’re left there only because the tax implications are better if they’re moved toward their purpose-build vehicles at the last moment possible.

What you are witnessing young fool is the intentional, extremely profitable business of "deprecating" "general purpose computers".

Did you seriously think that M1 macbook was about anything but escaping the legal definition (there is one) of a general purpose computer.

If you port for the M1 chip you have gone to the dark side.
Ill be here if you ever find your way back.

This reminds me of a conversation I overheard about 10 years ago, "I tried to delete my account on facebook I think all they are doing is scraping my personal information"

You folks here, yc grads, you either think you have us all fooled or you as dumb as rocks. Neither is likely true but there will be consequences nonetheless. Perhaps move to bitcoin island and spend your riches on some margaritas and a mud hut.

TalkJS (https://talkjs.com) | REMOTE (Europe/Middle East/Africa) or Eindhoven (the Netherlands)

TalkJS lets developers build a perfect chat feature in just a few hours. We power communication in online marketplaces, community sites, trading platforms and so on. We're product driven and we care tremendously about quality: We're out to build the tool that every developer worldwide will use to build chat/communication features.

Currently in the market for:

* Customer Success Engineer
* Solutions Architect
* Mobile Developer (iOS/Android/Flutter/React Native)
* Senior Fullstack Developer
* Senior Backend Developer
* Junior Programmer Who Can Write

Our stack is mainly React, TypeScript, Elixir and PostgreSQL. Nearly the entire company is product people, founders are a designer and a programmer.

TalkJS touches millions of people and is growing quickly. We want to be the tool that every developer thinks of for building communication features, a bit like what Stripe has become for payments. To accomplish this, we give great engineers the maximum amount of freedom to ship fantastic SDKs, APIs and features. This means a healthy work/life balance and a lot of responsibility: We expect a lot from each other and we give a lot of freedom in return. Sound good?

(no recruiters/agencies please)
Yes you can.

Dont read anything else on this page. Just go forth and develop. You can do it.
The young and poor can't afford to increase their cost of living even further.

Amazon reviews are gamed in such a manner that its difficult to trust them anymore.

https://www.skitsolutionbd.com/Services/buy-negative-amazon-...

There was a time when people would make trustworthy Amazon reviews, but... one bad apple spoils the bunch. If I don't know if the review I'm reading is manipulated crap, then I need to go elsewhere.

-------

For better or worse, "Best Buy" and "Walmart" have solid non-comingled supply chains. There's also the option of buying directly from some manufacturers (although I've had bad luck with say... HP from their website. So I prefer having a trusted 3rd party retailer to handle returns in the worst-case scenario. Best Buy handles returns fine, and I trust that an 'HP' laptop is indeed from HP from them. Good enough for me).

I also live near a Microcenter, which would be my primary computer store. But Best Buy isn't bad for prefab and/or laptops, I take my friends there to check out some merchandise when they're looking for new laptops.
Let's see if we can think of some helpful mnemonics...

p → q [conditional]

q → p [converse] (con+vertere = to turn and to keep company)
So the converse is "turned" or "flipped" around.

¬p → ¬q [inverse] means you negate the original conditional on both sides. From "invert" for "turned upside down." Maybe think of a cup or a bucket, flip it over it's no longer a cup or bucket. Converse... turn the cup so left is right and right is left, Inverse... flip the cup so it's not a cup

¬q → ¬p [contrapositive]

I really hate the YouTube app for that. Where did they get the idea that it is a good thing? And it is not even an attempt at monetization, they don't show ads, they still do it on premium, they just make it hard for you to see what's on screen.
Give them time - Apple (and other smartphone makers) have shown how profitable it is to lock down a system and make it unrepairable. Once even more custom ARM processors appear on laptops and desktops, we can forget about the kind of "open" hardware and software we have been used to so far.

Sidebar | https://sidebar.vc | Front-end or full-stack engineer w/ React expertise| NY, SEA + Remote | Full Time

We’re a VC-backed pre-seed startup building a virtual office that brings back the feel of working with your team. Drop-in voice and video rooms allow you to instantly connect with colleagues, join impromptu hallway conversations, or start a meeting without needing to schedule.

Work-from-home is hard. Employees feel disconnected and miss out on valuable training and mentorship. Slack is all about async, and Zoom doesn’t work for the impromptu/informal conversations that collaboration requires. To make remote work truly viable, we need a platform that puts synchronous, spontaneous communication at its core. Like a mix of Slack, Zoom, and Clubhouse.

We’re looking for an experienced React engineer to help us architect, build, and scale. We’re shipping our alpha for web in a couple of weeks. Later, we’ll be building for desktop and mobile. Our stack is React, MobX, React Native, Ruby on Rails and Electron.

Our founding team is Micah Springut (https://www.linkedin.com/in/micahspringut/) and Justin Faulkner (https://www.linkedin.com/in/justinfaulkner/)

If you join Sidebar, you’ll have the opportunity to:
1) Work remotely forever.
2) Build a great engineering culture.
3) Craft products from the ground up that change the way workplaces communicate.

It’s early days but we can offer a competitive mix of salary and equity. Please contact micah @ sidebar.vc

I don't think it's always cause and effect. People who want power, specifically so they can abuse it, seek it out. If society offers a position of power that lets acting like a spoiled brat go unchecked, spoiled brats will gravitate towards that position.
