The argument is often that pharma giants keep massive amounts of profits and therefore can finance medical research. There is a hint of truth here, but there is much more than a hint of truth in Americans getting scammed for private profits.
What... you expect someone who is obviously carefully weighing the words they use to reply with "yes, I'm being forced to this! Send help, the boss is evil!!"?

No... you wouldn't get answer even it were true.

What does it look like under the assumption that there just isn't a grand conspiracy? I. e. the person on Github just isn't the only person working at audacity and is careful not to make promises they can't keep?

Then you are just fanning the outrage flames and putting more pressure on someone who has explicitly told you, just now, that they are not in a position to give in to your demands and, less explicitly, that they don't enjoy being put in that situation.
I don't think you need to love paperwork or money. Just employ an accountant for a few hours a year.
You had civil militias fighting on both sides, although both regular Ukrainian and Russian armies were involved. Of course, the Russian army always claimed it was not involved but that is another topic.

I agree there's a non-negligible dimension of foreign military invasion in the ukrainian conflict, but it's not exactly as clearcut as that. Now is a good time to mention i'm neither ukrainian nor an expert on the topic; this analysis is based on my readings and first-hand accounts from ukrainian refugees.

Regular mortality in India is about 7.5 per 1000 inhabitants. That's about 9.8 million deaths per year in India.

Population of India is about 1.3 billion.

Just to bring numbers into perspective.

It actually just shows that Covid is far from as dangerous as it is made out to be.

Many people in India live under 3rd world conditions in extremely crowded slums and towns. They have barely any medical infrastructure. The air quality in the bigger towns is abysmal.

If the exponential growths panic would be justified we'd have to see a way higher excess morbidity!

The truth is there is no exponential growth in reality because any growth hits an upper limit at some point. The western media wants to make us believe that no such upper limit exists or is so high that we can just assume exp growth. In fact all countries show dynamics indicating a rather low upper limit at which point growth ceases to be exponential and instead starts to either stagnate or decrease.
Evaporative cooling for the win.

I wish (any) parks had this built in (ignoring splash/water parks), because it would be easier justifying brining kids out in this type of heat (especially for parks with no shade due to poor design).

It would also bring more community together to have outdoor areas that are dramatically cooler than the surroundings.
2022: Salesforce announces Chat Cloud
I'm not making those decisions for a large company or with proprietary data, so it's not a big deal for me. However, I would think this could become a bigger concern if AWS starts doing more takedowns that I would consider ESG or mob demanded (https://www.vice.com/en/article/xgx5bw/amazon-aws-shuts-down...).
They don’t know everything. They automatically compare your return against information they’ve received from other parties (W-2s, 1099s, other tax returns’ dependents’ social security numbers, mostly) so you will get a notification if your return contradicts those in an obvious way. Beyond that, you need to be audited to get a notice. Audits range in their degree of inspection so most people just get a letter, but those kinds of audits usually just focus on one/two easy-to-discover issues.

They certainly could develop the ability to do your return for you, but it would be an effort.
Salesforce also owns Heroku, which is interesting, I guess. I don’t full understand the game that’s being played, though. They own the way I deploy all my apps, and the way I communicate with my colleagues, but I’m not seeing the synergy. Both products will do better with enterprise sales and adoption and Salesforce does that well? Is that it?

"De-escalated it" to the point where the homeowner had a heart attack and died. Without the video, this just looks like poor police work, and of course a heinous crime by the original caller.

If I were Asia, I would choose Type2 CCS in a combo with ChaoJi (the new version of Chademo). It's like the European CCS, but with its main flaw being resolved (namely, allowing you to plug upper and lower parts separately and not in one unwieldy piece).

That's an excellent point.

So, for example, in this vein, as a maintainer of a large FOSS project, it would seem to be prudent to not assume bad faith and block people without any comment when they ask a legitimate question.
I don't think so. Red Hat Linux - the software - is free under GPL. Red Hat the company charges for support, training, and documentation. ChessBase charges for the software, which means they're either not compliant with the terms of GPL, or there's some other aspect of the software they're not obligated to share. I'm particularly interested if it's the latter.

But I'm just wading into this subject matter, so others chime in if I'm missing something :)
I agree with this on you.

Having lived in Baltimore for 8 years, I consider it a hellscape. One of the worst things about Baltimore imo is the way its fans idealize it as some kind of regular town where bad things only happen to bad people. There's an unbelievable amount of crime and danger. I invite any skeptics to check for yourselves: join a Baltimore community like /r/baltimore on reddit and see how often people post about break-ins, muggings, shootings, carjackings, not to mention corruption in the government.

In matters of taste like breweries vs vineyards, it doesn't matter if you encourage strangers to move and that they might like it; the risk is just that they find they preferred the other option. When the risks are becoming a victim of random crime just walking down the street or having an apt with ground-floor windows, it's irresponsible.

The article makes some acceptable points, but this article seems disorganized and there seems to be a disconnect between the content and the conclusion. The author devotes most of the article to supporting the idea that anthropomorphizing "AI" is a category mistake. But at the end of the article, he claims that this category mistake needs to be taken into account by producers of AI?
How much of that is libevent vs. io_uring and not epoll vs. io_uring? It would also be interesting to compare to other frameworks/languages on the TechEmpower Web Framework benchmarks.
last I checked American's have a much more robust economy and get far less taxed than Europeans in general. As frustrating as the American system and the people in charge are, I would not trade it for European style government - which is unfortunately the direction we are headed in
$27.7 billion. Seems quite high given Discord’s momentum. Haven’t really been spending much time on Slack for a couple years and most new companies/projects seems to be selecting Discord. I suppose Salesforce has the money, though. I wonder if they are going to try to reposition it.

I own a Tesla, I don't know why I should care about other charging stations. Tesla's supercharger network is more than enough for road trips and in city I live in I just charge at home. Not sure why Tesla should be worried about their connector format "losing" to competition.

I think this is exactly what they will be halted by. 1930s Germany was full of propaganda against Jewish people and other countries. Why bother doing that if authoritarians can just snap their fingers and force people to do things?
I'd love it if people would stop assuming it was a rhetorical question in bad faith. I have addressed this multiple times already. It was not rhetorical.
I would say it—getting a 20-year-old CLI program to compile and run is often not much trouble at all. Not always, but often.

Even if the program was never written from Linux, you can often get it to compile and run by fixing up headers and making some other minor changes to the source code. I’ve had plenty of success compiling and running programs that were only ever designed to run on IRIX or Solaris or other Unix systems.

You don’t seem to understand how things work. The government would send you a pre-filled tax return that contains everything they already know. You would check that and could then make amendments as needed. It doesn’t make sense to view it as a feature to have to put in the work to fill a tax return from scratch while the government already knows what should be there and will check it.

Like In every negotiation the advantage is on the side of the party who has the most information. The government first disclosing what they know gives you as taxpayer an advantage.
They probably get them in a few weather events every year. I lived in a place in the South of Portugal that, on paper, gets has much rain as, say, Berlin. The catch is that it would fall over 3 or 4 very strong downpours causing flooding and devastation.
I'd call the current title of this post blatantly wrong. In common use, "emotional arousal" and "arousal" have very different meanings.
Historically when interviewing candidates I put more weight on side projects the shorter the resume was. A brand new college grad who made an impressive-looking portfolio web site got extra consideration.

But interviewers are still human beings, and so a link to a visually impressive, interactive and accessible side project will probably get you some credit. My favorites were multi-player games.

If the side project makes money, that's a whole 'nother consideration. Everyone is likely to be impressed.
But who keep an eye on that? In Spain the speed limit of any bike is 45 km/h (around 28 mph), and when we are in the road with bigger limits to other vehicles, outside the city normally, we are faster than that (if we can) and nobody bothers. Even the police won't tell you anything unless you're doing something dangerous.

It will. I think it was The Economist, but it might have been some other magazine, who had an article recently, regarding Chinas usage of cloud seeding.

You're potentially "stealing" rain from other countries or regions. If it was just going into the ocean, then maybe it's fine, but if you're stealing it from a neighbouring country.
It’s not a rational opinion. It’s based on not understanding how the process works in other countries.
They already do. Its called "idling fees" and applies to busy superchargers.

Its actually getting them sued by owners with free lifetime supercharging, since they may suddenly be charged [0]. I have free lifetime supercharging on my tesla, and I'm quite happy about the idle fees.

Again, completely inaccurate and misleading statement, despite yourself pointing out how residents don't like to admit how bad Baltimore is. Having worked in IT in Baltimore, a coworker of mine got mugged, a black eye, and had to take the next day off work just because he was strolling through a very popular park on a weekday evening. Wealth and education don't protect you if somebody targets you on the street, and it happens way more than Baltimore residents will admit.

Peter Watts is an author of fiction and "Blindsight" is a scifi novel, so you better not take it as true!

That said, it's consistent that both the statement could be deceptive (in the sense it describes) but still assert something that could generally be true. It could even be deceptive in tone or some details, but the gist of what it says still be true.
The Master's Trap
Is Discord used in the enterprise? I've only used it for a gaming community a long time ago.
The premise of the article...

> A key product of ubiquitous surveillance is people who are comfortable with it

I think comfortable is the wrong word here. Perhaps "people who have no choice but accept it" is more accurate.

If you do the math, it's basically;

1. is this issue important enough to your daily life to want to make sacrifices to fight it
2. how would I effectively fight it and not just waste effort?

And a significant minority DO care - I've commented before here like the impact on sales of a secure messaging app when WhatsApp was bought by Facebook - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18840587
> The US military stopped using pennies on most foreign military bases decades ago.

The stores (PX, or whatever your branch calls it) I used in Iraq used cardboard discs for all coins, including quarters. I figured it was to reduce having to ship all that metal out just so Marines could buy dip. But they're already shipping humvees and such, why not some rolls of quarters?

I kept forgetting to bring them whenever I bought something and amassed a big bag of pogs. Eventually I threw them away. That's probably the real reason. All transactions suddenly round up to the dollar!

In the EU, Tesla cars (even cars built and shipped from the US) and Tesla superchargers use CCS.

kalashnikov for $30k, as example. registered lower for m16 cost $20k at least.
Furthermore, an inexpensive adapter makes the issue moot both for Tesla owners and owners of other EVs.
I don't think you can compare the network effect of people with VCRs and charging networks. Each person only needs 1 VCR, in their own home, and it's not that expensive to switch to the dominant format.

Charging on the other hand has a huge compounding network effect. Your electric car is only as good as the density of its network, and right now Tesla has a huge lead. I'd wager that the supercharger standard isn't going anywhere.

I'd also add that we already have two mutually compatible fuels for cars: diesel and petrol. In practice, every petrol station simply supports both fuels.
Tesla already does this. The cost is $1 per minute.

You may not be aware, but you've stumbled into a bitterly fought political battle with that analogy.

Some extreme free-market supporters dont like anyone claiming the better item lost out in the open market, and will go to great lengths to discredit those claims. But be aware they're not actually experts in whatever field they're wading into, they just know what the conclusion that supports their employers is and argue for that.

So, they take the side of "VHS was better than Betamax", "Climate change isn't real" "Qwerty is better than Dvorak" etc. but the various opinions are all tied to the same belief system: "don't interfere with the people currently winning in the market because they are paying me to say that".
The latter does happen at Google at least. But it requires tooling to reliably make the change (monorepo-aware refactoring tools, basically), and tooling to run all affected tests. Such large changes at Google are often accompanied by a doc outlining the specific process and possible impacts of the change, and many times are given "global approval" by someone that has that ability rather than requiring individual approvals from each affected team.
Neat that the point is that they offset each other. Not just that they have opposite effects used individually, but when combined they are no different from a placebo.

I'll have to dive more on what the local processing means.
They mainly own a set of enterprise solutions. Salesforce is now a massive cloud ERP that has CRM, eCommerce and other modules - Heroku is actually pretty small within that universe.

It makes sense to me that they would want to own conversations in order to cross-sell and up-sell solutions in their portfolio, and also defend against Microsoft which has Teams.
Oh, Salesforce probably has some grand ambition of becoming a "platform" in which "salesforce" proper is "just" first among equals. Moreso than the degree to which Salesforce is already a platform, I mean. Eventually probably headed for being a Company in a Box.

For instance, this just went by on New: https://blog.zoom.us/start-using-zoom-apps/ Zoom, unsatisfied with being the dominant video chat app, now wants to be a "platform" for running apps.

While I understand the nominal business case, the business schools teaching MBAs to reach for this particular golden ring could probably stand to emphasize the importance of continuing to develop the core product as the foundation you expect to stand on in order to become this larger "platform"; seems like in practice, this sort of thing is also an announcement that their core product is now going to begin a long slide into a decaying buggy mess as it gets deprioritized internally in favor of the "platform" product, whereas the platform product usually fails, often non-trivially precisely because they got so excited about all that sweet, sweet lock-in walled-garden platform money that they let their foundation rot and all the wallets they meant to lock in their walled garden wandered away.

Sure praise be to backwards compatibility today, just realize the added costs never go away.

Tesla’s connector is lower weight among other advantages and a simple adaptor allows for Type 2 or CCS charging as well. We are very early into the EV transition to be worrying about backwards compatibility.
There are adapters from the NA Tesla standard to CCS. See https://www.setec-power.com/ccs-adapter/

That said, as a Model X owner, I've never felt the need to seek out other charging in almost 4 years of ownership, and roughly 10k miles road-tripping.
I think the takeaway was actually Roger Sterling was mistaken there, and it later came back to bite him.
