It seems that banding together on grain sales cuts both ways. I gather that selling to (or is it through?) the co-op gets you access to the commodity markets, which generally makes selling your goods easy. However, when you are buying seed for the next year's crop, you have no guarantee that the market price when you sell it will cover your costs. At least that's part of what I get from:

> Between cash and cover crops, Wicks and Givens are planting about 4,500 acres this year. Some of that land is leased from Wicks’ mother, who retired in 2019, and the rest they lease from neighbors. They’ve contracted most of the barley to Anheuser-Busch, though they’ll sell some to nearby Hutterite colonies for chicken feed. They’re also growing lentils, chickpeas, Kamut and Einkorn for smaller mills including Timeless Seeds and Montana Flour and Grain, both based in Montana.

> Their yields are smaller than their conventional ones were, but Wicks said it’s worth it. Previously, they were at the mercy of international commodity markets, as well as ever-increasing seed, chemical and fertilizer prices. Organic producers often have more leverage, because they usually grow a diverse range of crops and sell directly to processors. Plus, many Montana organic grain and pulse growers forward-contract their crops, meaning they lock in a per bushel price before even planting. Wicks and Givens often sell their organic crops for two to three times the price of conventionally grown ones.

A similar, likely smaller scale, tale is told in TasteMakers[1]. In this episode I think it was the beef supplier that said that he couldn't count on the commodity price of beef, but by contracting with the local artisan butcher prices were set for the year. Who knows what percent of his herd goes to that butcher.

Not every city is like this. Rich cities that can systematically screw people and get away with it are like this because business like this one aren't a large enough overall part of their revenue stream for them to care about.

Poor cities can't systematically marginalize small business without hurting themselves enough to be held accountable so they don't generally do this kind of thing or when they do they fix the system quickly.
> even though having one isn't necessary for member-managed businesses

Don't you have to waive it in advance though?
Yes, but you don't pay off the inspectors directly. You pay the money to one of a dozen or so "expeditor" firms[0] that are typically staffed by ex-municipal employees who make money in retirement by filing permits on behalf of people. They claim it's not grift to help people make sure the forms are completely properly and don't get put at the bottom of the pile by current municipal employees.

see when I saw the words 'risk assessment' i figured the presuppositional framework of the authors argument wasnt that copilot was legally sound. In other words, i didnt expect to jump straight to the technical validity of the product.

do not ignore the elephant in the room. copilot is stealing code from projects with open licenses.
Eh, I'm willing to take a few downvotes if it means raising awareness. I tag pretty much every Firefox post with some sort of report on battery life. I've added bug reports... doesn't ever seem to get taken seriously. Like I said I'm OK with taking a few downvotes on the off chance someone on the Firefox team may actually see this and be able to prioritize work to address the issue.

Firefox is my primary browser, but this issue in the age of Covid makes it fundamentally flawed. Heard all the responses, "Stop trying to use Firefox on a Mac, it's Apple's fault..." and not unsympathetic, just feels more can be done.
Wait, what? I'm actually genuinely interested in clarifying this for myself.

If Amazon gives me a contract on day one that says they will give me 5 shares on day one, 15 shares on day 366, 40 shares on day 732, and 40 shares on day 1098...

... you are saying that even if i get fired on day 90, i will still have all 100 shares paid out to me on those days?

because that is not how it worked at other places ive been at

Similar thing happened to me recently with the IRS. Got a notice about them needing to verify my identity and gave me a number to call. Had been calling for months and would always get a message saying they were too busy and to try the following day. After trying a few other options to no avail, I decided to show up at my local IRS office without an appointment (which I couldn’t get anyway). They first turned me down, then told me that maybe if I waited for a few hours they might be able to see me at the end of the day, then after about 20min and them clearly not being busy, they talked to me and was able to resolve the issue within 15min.

So, even though I was told I couldn’t show up without an appointment, and they tried turning me down, just by being there they finally paid attention to me. Yes, it was uncomfortable and annoying to have to do that, but it worked.
IDK, I see a lawyer as a positive benefit. Sure, some city, state, or federal employees are incompetent but at least there is a means of getting help if you're desperate enough.

It is very convenient, for many reasons, if you can call a $1.5m transfer “a sale”. If you can support said price with an auction so the price is supported by a fair market, even better.

Legally transferring that much money to another person (and minimizing taxes) is difficult. Art and collectible sales are a convenient escape hatch.
Disagree with you, I find the grandparents observations to be right on. Especially for layout, I haven't seen a layout system that can match html/css for all screen sizes.

The web is a bit rough around the edges in some spots but for the wide target base and productivity of the tools and frameworks nothing I've used previously comes close.
Individual congressmen and women tend to have high favorability ratings in the locality that voted for them, despite congress overall consistently having practically nonexistant support, and political parties not faring significantly better.

In short, every politician is trustworthy to the people who voted for them, but not the rest- kindof an inverse of the effect, really.
$380 for complete and good condition does sound a bit pricey, but it's within the realm of "I have this and I'm willing to wait for a buyer who wants it badly enough". $3800 is insane. I myself own a couple rare-ish games (none sealed, I bought them to play them), and if they got up that high I'd sell them in a heartbeat. I have a satiator, I don't need a CIB Saturn Bomberman.

It's really recommended that anybody not getting it to read the article. You won't get a good TLDR.

But yeah, systems can not have unintended consequences because systems do not have intentions. It's people who have intentions, and those are not additive properties. (And, well, you can't simply add additive properties into system ones either.)
People complaining about Copilot should just try it. All the concerns people are bringing up are correct but missing the point. Just think of it as a context-aware autocomplete that can complete more than just properties - it can finish out that one-line comment or map function too! It's really not that intrusive, nor is it going to replace anyone's coding job or even require less programmers. It'll just speed you up a bit, similar to auto-completion. I think at least 70% of the time I take its suggestions, which is good enough to keep using it.
Likewise, the first C++ compiler (cfront) might today be considered a transpiler.

Tell HN: Maybe you don't need a CMS
It's obviously won't work for everyone, but after being thoroughly frustrated with Strapi CMS last night, I realized I could write a few lambdas. With API gateway you can serve the lambda response directly, so I basically upload assets to S3, and have my first lambda return a list of those assets, and provide secondary links to access them. Then I have a couple of lambdas which will either return json data or binary assets ( signed urls so the objects aren't public ) depending on what type of asset I'm trying to get back.

It was like an eureka moment when I realized I could vastly simplify my workflow by doing this, my only concern right now is this simply won't scale. Listing hundreds of AWS bucket items does not sound like a fun time, but before I get to that I can always add something like a dynamodb table which keeps track of the items for me.

I highly recommend this approach if you're developing something like a video game and you need a quick and dirty backend for prototyping. For my project I should be the only user who actually needs to upload data, so just dropping the files directly on S3 works extremely well. I can also add a basic front end to upload the files to S3 if needed.
I think I'm the typical person you're inviting to say it and I will: those are acceptable losses. Whenever you want a new licensing scheme, you have to balance the gains with the losses.

For example, my city had an issue where donation boxes would pop up on city lots next to parks and become dumpsters. The city implemented a licensing scheme, which forced the companies and non-profits to collect from the boxes at a regular frequency, and now the problem is solved. No bags of old books left soaking in the rain turning into useless pulp. But someone could argue the licensing scheme stops some non-profits from collecting much needed donations. It totally does, but it's worth it.
Of course people do that; it's very convenient.
Seeing a lawyer doesn't necessarily mean suing the city, it means someone who can navigate rules and regulations
why do you even expect those 128 bytes to be on a stack frame at all? I would expect the compiler to keep stuff in registers as much as it can and reuse stack slots as soon as they are no longer needed. And I would certainly expect to remove dead stores aggressively.

I don't use memset much, but I use memcpy and certainly do want (and expect) the compiler convert memcpys to register moves when possible and even to eliminate them when the result is not actually used.
Most collectors of old games do not understand why it was sold that much. Super Mario 64 in mint condition and wrapped is rare, but clearly not often to justify this price.

One thing I've noticed though if that people buying a auctions do not always seem aware of the actual prices on the market. I attended an auction recently and bought nothing, as all people in the community I know. Everything was sold for far too mych. We were laughing about it, wondering why people were buying those games at those prices, as we know we could easily get them for far less.

I'd be really interested to know more about the dynamics making people spending far too much money like that (misinformation? excitation during the auction?).
I don't know about C.S., but anecdotally, I studied with another student as an undergrad and taught him Zoology. It was good for me (I was forced to explain all the concepts thoroughly) and good for him (he did fairly well in the course). Win-win.
Any recommendations for getting more of the fundamental knowledge and not being the next store neighbor?

I feel like I'd be a much better programmer had I studied CS, but it's difficult to also self study when working so I'm trying to find some balance to learning. Like, easy reads that will show immediate improvement to keep me interested, instead of picking random dry textbooks.

You are correct, private property can be a public place. Stores are a definite example of this. Many people get very confused by what Private Property! means. By inviting the public into their store they have waived the requirement to have privacy in that space, unless they specifically inform you that photography is not allowed.

The irony is that the visitors to the store can have no expectation of privacy. Even if you wear a giant sign that says 'no photos' you can and will be photographed.

Publishing photos of specific individuals is more nuanced. It depends on the jurisdiction, if it is for news, artistic or commercial purposes (the latter is usually forbidden without written consent).

Exactly when I was poor in my late teens and early twenties I pirated lots of games and software (adobe, etc). Now in my 40’s I purchase all games and make it a point to support developers.

Now with a good job and financial stability I have no interest in piracy. DRM does seem to punish paying customers meanwhile those who will crack the game and pirate still find a way.

I have often read books on topics I was already well-informed on. My philosophy is "think of it like a meditation". You might know very well about a psychological mechanism like the one described in Paradox of Choice (by Barry Schwartz) - you may have seen a TED talk and you already "get it". But it's rather different if you spent 10 hours of your life reading a variety of examples on the topic, and think about it (as you are reading it). The lesson sinks in far better - it is much more likely you will actually benefit from it.
You'll likely need a laptop CPU/GPU/APU, OS, browser, and site that natively support WebRTC and the media codec being used in hardware as much as possible. That's probably going to be AV1 support across the board for the foreseeable future. That's probably a couple years out.

Real time AV codecs generally did not choose the "cheap" aspect of the "good / fast / cheap" triangle.
I think it could help with some issues, and perhaps hurt with others.

I grew up in a farming community and even mom and pop farms paid into national associations with a strong lobbying arm. on the up side, at least these associations favor policy that is usually good for the industry at large.

That said, I think the real solution is making sure that government officials are accountable and not for sale. No amount of big company busting would fix that problem.
Another limitation is that this sharing isn't enabled for all games especially competitive online games (the system was widely abused by hackers to avoid bans).

>Except for their favorite politician, except for their party, except for the ones they voted for, except...

As I wrote in another reply I believe this to be A Very American Thing. At least I have never heard of anyone here (in Denmark) seeing themselves as represented by a person. It is more of a party thing. I'm sure I live in a bubble (don't we all) so my experience might not match any official numbers but in my experience people seem to just change to another party at the next election if they feel the representation does not match their expectation. This likely makes it easier not to get caught up in having to defend a specific person that "can do no wrong". But again, I have not looked it up and it is all based on my own experience and intuition. I do know that election day sees a much higher turnout here (~%85) than in the US (>65%?) though, but is it related to distrusting politicians? Who knows.
That title though :-P

Shame. I kept thinking the US feels so different from when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s. But maybe it hasn't, I have. Instead of being proud to be an American, all I've felt for years now, is shame. Shit like this is why.

Why following wouldn't work for licenses: Train 3 models:

1. Only permissive licenses - Only include in the training set repos with permissive licenses - MIT, Apache.

2. Copy-left - Step 1 + GPL, excluding AGPL and other "hardcore copy-left licenses".

3. All - Include all code, even unlicensed and AGPL.

User can choose which version they prefer based on profile of their project and their company? Majority of github repos have LICENSE, so it doesn't seem implausible?
I hear this, but also it works fine in Safari... and even less bad in Chrome on a MBP. Not an expert, but that makes me think there's something the Firefox folks can do to improve this issue. If they wanted to.

It's not like 2x, it's like 40x more power used. This makes the MBP super heat. Thing was never cool to start, but I suspect it's getting hot enough to shorten the battery life. It's really hot. Happens on every MBP 16" I've tested it on.

Grab 2-3 friends, fire up Zoom, Google Meets, or stream something on Twitch (or whatever service you want). And you'll hear the fans kick in, and the machine's temp will rapidly rise. Toggle open the power inspector, or just watch as 1-2% of the battery life drains per minute.

I don't see anything in the 14th that would apply here. NYC has the right to regulate business, so they aren't depriving him of a right.

I think something like that might be feasible in the future with things like web bundles[1] and content security policy[2]. In theory you could have a site loaded as a bundle and a CSP that blocks everything not loaded through the bundle, effectively cutting off all network access.

You'd probably also need some sort of Feature-Policy[3] that prohibits access to any form of persistent storage so sites can't just save data until the next non-CSP-protected page load and transmit it then.

> if you are not using them for stateless session management

REST APIs are required to be stateless, meaning the server does not store any state about the client session on the server-side. When you have multiple servers servicing requests there is no guarantee that subsequent requests will go to the same server. So having session state in memory won't work. There is nothing wrong in using JWT tokens with a REST service. In fact most services do just that.
There certainly seems to be something nefarious happening here but how are they laundering money this way?
