My bet says Amazon buys both Microsoft and Canada next year before lobbying to ban water not ordered via Amazon Prime.
You can't perform a nice, clean Windows 11 installation yet, sadly—you'll need to use Windows Update to mangle an existing Windows 10 installation instead.

This says it all, really. My impression is this is just the latest patches with some fresh lipstick painted on.

Would be pleased to be proven wrong.
You are working for your employer for ~40 hours a week. There are 168 hours in a week. It is never acceptable for an employer to tell you what you can do with the remaining 76.2% of your time that you are not working for them.

If an employer is paying you 125k a year salary, but wants to control how you spend all 168 hours in a week of your life, then that means they are paying you 14.3 an hour, below minimum wage in amazon's home city of seattle.

Ya, no thanks.
>Throwing thirty teenagers in a room at 8am and having a tenured adult speak at them for 45 minutes on a subject is not a recipe for success

The problem here is that getting enough money to hire more teachers per student is like pulling teeth. The problem that we as a society are solving isn't "how can we achieve the best overall educational outcome?" It's "how can we avoid a disastrously uneducated population with a budget of $X?" I'm not entirely sure we're doing a good job on that one either, though.
Seems inevitable that streaming services would cannibalize some of that low-invest fun media. The format is just more relaxed and if I want to see something kinda silly and fun, I'd rather just pop on my TV.
you are right, i was quoting the headline of another source that was based on the reuters article.
Those consider themswlves games and report themselves as gamers. They claim to like games.
Hollywood started churning out tons of remakes about as early in their history as they possibly could, and never stopped.

Very true. From the 1930's until now, the percentage of Hollywood films that aren't recreations of an earlier film, a book, or a play is vanishingly small.

To be sure, there is still a good number of original films, even big-name ones, but those are very few and far between.
Yeah, but why LG would rush into paying for the license if the patent will become free as soon as Samsung will pay to license it first?

Point is, the original idea of tying patents to revenues needs more thinking.
That "some say" is doing a lot of work. Any sources?
People aren't happy because Microsoft is exploiting open source. They're training it on open source code and keeping the service for themselves.

If they made the trained model public (and also trained it on private code) the response would be completely different.
>People have to learn, that their behavior in such a setting does not only affect themselves

at some point it's like defensive driving. Sure, they are at fault and an idiot, but for the sake of your own safety you shouldn't "stick to your morals" or just "hope they get theirs". Look out for yourself, because for some people that's the only person that will do it.

With that lens, yes. I don't blame people who need to do what they do for one day in some artificial environment so they aren't impacted in their transition to real world work where they are otherwise moral.
That's actually worse. An environmental permit violation can result in fines, an order to remove the offending structure, and restoration of the land to the same-or-better condition than it was before the violation.

(In most places, a building permit represents the approval of construction plans and entitlements, but does not represent permission to build. An environmental permit grants permission to build and conduct activities on a given site. Anyone with any experience in construction would know that, so it sounds like whoever is in charge at Tesla Germany doesn't have experience in this area.)
Same! If you figure it it, please let me know.
When you say imperitave shell, am I correct in interpreting this shell to be the external interfaces to other systems - both incoming and outgoing eg api and dB layers? At this juncture you'd then take the data and process it in the domain core functionally? It seems like a plausible solution but it is not purely functional which leaves my question open.. How does one do it purely functional?

By going "more functional" with the free monad and effect system approach, do you mean the Result design pattern as seen in rust and F#?

If you have any working example I can dig in to that would be welcome

This looks very interesting. I couldn't see TeamCity mentioned in the CI integration section. Any plan to support it?
A final paper is different and the concept itself obviously does not lend itself to surveillance, which used to be less important because it is/was less easy to cheat. There are growing problems with this as well because of all the online "help" students may get access to these days.

Allowing students to take exams alone, at home, unsupervised is just a recipe for disaster without surveillance. It's not just Google but any sort of help in the room or remote, which can go all the way to someone else taking the exam. That really simply is the reality. I don't think this is contentious and I am surprised by the debate.

On the other hand, it is of course possible to discuss how far surveillance should go and how perhaps to avoid too much intrusion (as mentioned in my previous comment). That said, with the expensive connectivity people have these days, in addition to all they can think of if the exam takes place at home this is really an arm race situation.

So, again, the alternative is good old in-person, on-site exams, where students are also under surveillance, by the way, but that feels less intrusive because students aren't in their own private space at home.
> Thanks to funding from Zcash Open Major Grants (ZOMG), we can finally put the Arti project up in our priorities list, and devote more time to it.

You don't necessarily need a wider type (which might be slower to work with), you can just calculate (n|1) * ((n+1)/2). Clang does something much more complicated, probably because for it is just a special case of some much more general optimization.
Fresh is cheaper, more accurate stock, doesn’t require interacting with the shopper, has more available delivery times, more vertically integrated, and (subjectively) a less crappy website - easier to do basic things like add old stuff to order without it doubling numbers of things already in cart. Instacart website was also noticeably slow.

This isn’t personal - I just wouldn’t invest in or use instacart again given the alternatives. I think my anecdote is relevant since you work there, customer experience sucked.

I wouldn’t bet against Amazon in this case. A middleman service will always lose out to people who own the full stack.
>Make it easier to change jobs and help raise wages by banning or limiting non-compete agreements and unnecessary, cumbersome occupational licensing requirements that impede economic mobility.

Good. Really needs to be a law. Not sure how much FTC action would survive the courts.
> I'm not sure how a professionally designed interior is a good option for saving money

If you have to manually hire and pay a professional interior design, it's not very affordable, I agree. At Pabio, we have several in-house designers from eastern Europe so it costs us (and therefore, you) a very small (bundled) amount. This is also because they don't need to spend too much time on each apartment (each designer does multiple apartments per day) as they are aided by our technology, for example our drag-and-drop floor plan design tool and automated rendering engine.

> My assumption is prices would be more than retail at a minimum

You'd think so, but this is excitingly not the case. You never pay more than retail. This is possible because we get a discount from our retail partners much larger than customers would get because of our volume. Also, furniture has huge margins, so we're planning on going direct-to-consumer later this year, which means even more savings for the customer. Either way, our offering is more affordable than buying all your furniture upfront from a retailer, especially when you think of the bundled services, e.g., fully insured furniture (don't be afraid of dropping coffee!), free delivery and installation, and optional paid addons like electricians and cleaning services.
In programming languages, it is much more common to define new words (symbols) than in natural language. The identifier (name) of the symbol (word) in such case is less informative about its nature than the actual definition, and I think this is the Achilles heel of the method.
It really isn’t, you shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss things.
Do you have some numbers to back these claims about massive harm? Without estimates this sounds like a typical fear-mongering.

If you provide numbers, we can compare this massive harm with some other types of massive harms.

As for tiny amount of good - reclaiming control over storage of value from The Man is such a tremendous achievement that will help us fight tyranny everywhere. Bitcoin donations was the only type of funding russian government failed to stop when it started to clamp down the opposition.

Because Samsung will use LG ideas too. As a company, I think, it is better to partner with others, so it is a win-win.

Also accessibility and bulletproof text rendering and input handling and layout and a million other things that are a lot more involved than people think. I say this with great sadness as someone who wishes Electron wasn't the most practical solution at the moment.
I recognize the difference between the two -- but those two concepts are not inseparable, the one causes the other. The restrictions that the constitution imposes created a set of legal rights.

A law that says "the government can't legally do [x] to me", by definition, creates a legal right that I have "a right not to have the government do [x] to me". They are semantically different in perspective, but causal in relationship.
This sounds interesting, though I'm not quite grokking the vertically sliced modules aspect. Maybe you could explain it a bit more in detail, or link to some diagram or code repo, would be awesome.
From an evolutionary point of view, this is a very good adaptation. In the somewhat longer term it might not be a good adaptation when people start killing these birds because they might spread fire.
I was cursed (blessed?) to find the taste of nearly all alcohol kind of repulsive (especially beer), and I almost never drink anymore as a result.

While most bars will happily serve me Diet Coke when I ask for it (sometimes for free depending on the city), I gotta say that it does a pretty good job making me look fairly lame around my friends or coworkers.

Maybe some alcohol-free booze would help with that.
I don't think the fairness doctrine is worth it in the modern day.

1. Most sources of news that people consume would be exempt as the fairness doctrine only works on broadcast TV.

2. The doctrine was often used as a political cudgel to silence criticism.

3. It usually didn't achieve the desired goal as it's easy for an interested actor to bias the "other side" reporting.
That’s not an issue in my country where fees are limited.

In your civilised society I will never, ever use a new merchant or a small merchant. One vendor that promises easy refunds would be the only place I would ever shop. Small vendors and new vendors can go hang. Hell, it might just kill internet shopping all together.

In your civilised society, small business is f*cked.

In your civilised society a person who has been ripped off by a merchant who refuses to deal with them or just plain disappears, has to spend time and more money dragging them through the courts, if they can even find them.

Your ‘civilised’ society is carte blanche for unscrupulous merchants to rip people off, something which humanity has been dealing with since the dawn of history.

We have these systems in place for a reason, and it’s to stop uncivilised merchants from doing what they’ve been doing as long as merchants have existed.

You don’t have to take credit cards, by the way, but don’t expect my business if you don’t.

> 90% of the DNA for groups 2 & 3 comes from those 1000-10,000 individuals. A small smattering from neanderthals denisovans and ghosts. What's the rest?

That's not my understanding of the text. Other than the 2-5% Neanderthal & Denisovan contributions, the rest of our (ie, for non-Africans) ancestry arises entirely from this single group of 1-10k, not 90%. Perhaps you're confusing it with this statement?

> ... only 1,000-10,000 lucky humans made it through the impossibly narrow neck. Our best (always provisional) models suggest they dwindled from an earlier population maybe 10 times bigger. So this round of cuts diminished the breeding pool by 90%.
I think that ship has already sailed with the prevalence of the web. Users are already very used to learning a new UI for a new app, their online bank doesn't work like Gmail does, nor does Netflix, etc. etc.

Sometimes it feels like OS UI is literally just window dressing these days.
I would like to brainstorm more on this. Perhaps offline would make more sense.

I agree that for code, the function is more important than form. The "ideas" behind the function are protected by patents, not copyrights as you recognize already. If there are no inventive steps involved, then of course, patents do not come into picture and the function sees no protection, only the expression (form) part does.

I do think there is creative expression involved in writing code as well, however, I need to understand your point better. Code is just being written in a programming language, whereas a prose/poem is written in a natural language. Both can involve creative expression. I would like to hear more about how exactly you are distinguishing the two which may hold in form of say a revised law. What would a revision to the law look like which enables the code to be always free of creative expression (that copyright protects) but still leave books, paintings, etc., still being open to copyrights protection.

If the argument is only that the writer of the code is not interested in the form, only the function, they are free to put their code in the public domain, not making use of the copyright protection. And as far as protecting function is concerned, they may make use of patents where applicable. In most other respects (am ignoring other IP laws), the "openness" you ask for is already there.
"In extreme cases, the child will end up as a criminal."

> I don't think we're likely to replace alcohol any time soon - even with other relatively popular things like cannabis. The effects are more predictable and enjoyable by more people.

Ease of manufacturing is also a major factor. All you need is sugar, water, yeast (which can come from a multitude of sources), and patience.
I think the legal definition of NA beer is maximum of 0.5%.

I may be misremembering, but I think Athletic Brewing mentioned their beers are closer to 0.2 -> 0.3% on average.

But even at 0.5%, that would be 10 NA beers to add up to one average alcoholic beer at 5% assuming equal volumes.
The depressed/angry mood has been building for a couple decades or more, and getting more widespread.

You can see this a lot in comedy. Comedy used to be mostly about humor, with occasional social commentary. Now it's largely about anger and shock value. "Comedians" are targeting the same brain patterns as social media.

I think that's a reason that people like Jim Gaffigan find such a strong following. There's a good number of people who are just burned out on the outrage industry treadmill.
Tangentially, last night I half-listened to an interesting YouTube video that used the history of Robin Hood movies to describe this trend.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=428ZxrW6jhk

It's a slowly escalating 45-minute rant, but I think that this quote from toward the end summarizes it fairly well: "I'm admittedly a little tired of seeing heroes always surrounded by worlds of gray, because, if they're there long enough, they start to feel kind of gray, too."

I haven't ever seen the Errol Flynn version of Robin Hood, but I suppose my equivalent is that, as far as I'm concerned, Batman peaked with the TV show in the 1960s. It wasn't just colorful, it was legitimately fun. To the point where even the bad episodes were good. The Tim Burton movies were also a bit like that. They were visually dark, sure, but that was Tim Burton's aesthetics, and it was a package deal that came together with at least a few glimmerings of that same twisted sense of humor that got him fired from Disney for making Frankenweenie.

Since then, though? It's a bunch of increasingly sad movies by apparently sad people whose creative drive seems to primarily come from the desire to demonstrate to themselves and everyone else that they are Grown Ups, and who are too busy Taking Their Jobs Seriously to have any fun at work. And so they're working so hard that, even though what they're producing is technically classified as entertainment, the end result is so joyless that watching it ends up feeling, at least to me, like work.
> It’s not a “conceal” as it is a lack of discussion.

Lack of discussion is concealment. Knowing you're on a formal PIP is to know whatever performance issues your manager might be telling you about are actually serious and that your job is on the line. It's my understanding that formal tracking of performance issues is frequently a CYA step prior to termination.
Black Widow is destroying opening expectations in cinemas as we speak.

Barry Diller is clearly disillusioned with the process, this happens a lot with veterans. But there's a constant supply of wide-eyed youngsters to fill-in those positions with new energy.

I'd say it's a bit premature to declare permanent changes. Streaming will play a stronger role over time, but none of this is new or unexpected. And cinemas will continue to thrive.
The article quotes someone paying her £70/hour for the tutoring. Given that's also contract rates, and there's no other perks from the company (such as bonus or healthcare, but admittedly healthcare may be less of an issue in the UK), that's not all that favorable to a FAANG employee's compensation, as I understand it.
From the code you linked:

> Computing professionals should protect confidentiality except in cases where it is evidence of the violation of law, of organizational regulations, or of the Code. In these cases, the nature or contents of that information should not be disclosed except to appropriate authorities.
That’s correct, but if you want to actually not pay the 1%, you need to justify how much time you use the car privately or for work, and the way you do that is per km: by tracking all trips that you make in kms and tracking how many of those are private or work (car book).

You can also pay 0% for the company car, but then you need to use it only for work, keep it parked at your employers, can’t use it for anything private, etc.

What most people understand by getting a company car is “a car that you can use for whatever whenever and however you want” (it’s your car). If you do that, and only use it privately, then 1% is what you pay.
that's valid, but even then, there's also the efficiency of whisking away heat from your body to consider, which is the more direct/relevant efficiency concern here.
Lack of a "unit" type is also a huge issue. e.g. need to create Task<'T> and non-generic Task, or Action<'T> and Func<'T1, 'T2> due to "Void" not being an actual type...

The most productive (and probably happiest) was when I was able to work fewer hours. I was the only one on my team at this location so I would roll in a bit before 7am, eat lunch 10:30-11am, and leave around 1-2 when my brain told me it was done coding for the day.

Once in awhile I'd get a eureka moment on the commute home and write a little bit more code otherwise I'd just let my mind wander and get home refreshed.

Imagine being on your death bed with your only contribution to this world having been vaguely worded abstract patents which didn't translate to any real products. Especially knowing that had you not helped to stifle medical/tech innovation, maybe you would still have a few extra centuries to live. Yep, that must feel like being a cockroach and a failure in one.

Also, the article has a wrong title. A patent office would never undermine their raison d'être. In this case they're only asking to be compared to other countries so that they don't issue fewer patents than them.

The patent system is so bad that, at this point, the only way to fix it is to completely abolish it. Do you still believe that the patents are here to protect you, a garage inventor, against the mega-corps with unlimited free-money bank funding?
