The thing about technology is that even if you don't change everyone else will.

Sure, it might still be technically legal to ride a horse down the street. But soon enough, people started putting in multi-lane highways. Also, stores took out their hitching posts. Then we started designing cities around the car, so what used to be a mile away is now 10. And half of that distance is consumed by parking lots.
That estimate of cost to society should tell us something when contrasted with the actual prices being levied right now. Hopefully we'll get closer to that number eventually!

Hopefully the US does this:

If you did your research (/r/linuxgaming), you might have found that an nvidia gpu would have better choice if you wanted to run a distro with old mesa packages.

If you're so old and your time is oh so important, maybe you should learn to measure twice and cut once, instead of blaming your tools.
> “we must recognize the fundamental importance of the real economy… and never deindustrialize.”

This is a valid point, and I tend to agree with it. However I see entertainment as part of the "real" economy. It's an incredibly old industry, provides real value to nearly every human being, creates high-, medium-, and low-skilled employment across a wide variety of disciplines, can allow your culture to punch above its weight, and produces art that endures across generations and centuries (for example, Shakespeare).
Crash Course is pretty close to PBS.

Sunshine is the other big variable. Most fruit will only get sweet during ripening if it's receiving enough sunlight. This is why red grapes are seldom grown in northern latitudes - their dark skin blocks sunlight and prevents them from sweetening during ripening.
> The whole psychologically weird phase of "hmm I'm here and waiting, and all I can do is watch paint dry" seems to have vanished.

I dunno. Infinite scrolling sure feels like watching paint dry to me... but as a teenager my idea of a good time was finding an isolated bit of woods, and sitting still enough for the fauna to ignore me. Actually, that's still my idea of a good time, but I'm too busy and the woods anywhere nearby are too crowded.
Take a look at the original that’s linked in the playground- she was pretty uncanny naturally haha. TBH we notice because we’re looking for it specifically- 99% of people our videos have gone out to have not noticed until someone has disclosed to them.
What is good for consumers may not be good for communities though. I'd argue that there is significant harm perpetuated on economies by the migration of wealth away from wages and small-scale profits of local businesspeople into the profits of large companies.
Picnic | Senior Software Engineer | London, UK | ONSITE or REMOTE | Full time or contract

Keywords: React Native, TypeScript, RxJS, MobX, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, SQLite, CQRS

Picnic is a new group chat app, built for close friends (https://picnic.chat).

Group chats matter, and they matter more than you might think. For billions of people, they've come to play a vital role in our most important relationships: the space online where our real friendships live. We believe the one-size-fits-all, functional apps where our group chats live today could be so much more. That's why we are on a mission to build a better home for people's favourite group chats: one that is more joyful, more intentional and more ethical.

It's an exceptionally good time to be joining our small but mighty founding team of top engineers from Facebook, Apple, Google and more. We are fresh from raising a £2.1m Seed round led by top tier VCs (announcement coming soon) and are backed by the likes of Robin Dunbar (the man behind Dunbar's number), Snapchat's 1st Engineer and many more world class operators.

We're looking to hire somebody who is comfortable working as a key part of a small team, with experience of having shipped consumer-facing mobile apps. The Senior in our job title does not refer to how many years of experience you have (or your degree!), but to your general approach to development: you are able to think about the system and architecture as a whole, know enough about all aspects of the stack to effectively diagnose issues, and are able to pass your knowledge onto other members of the team.

If this sounds like your kind of thing, read more about who we are, what we're doing & how you might fit in here: https://www.notion.so/teampicnic/Senior-Software-Engineer-c8...
terrorists really don't have any right except those afforded to prisoners. They threw those out when they decided to become terrorists.
After getting vaccinated I was sitting in the waiting area, for the 15 minutes our suppose to stay, in case you get an allergic reaction and I noticed that most people where NOT looking at their phones. They where just sitting, doing nothing. I did the same, and honestly, it was absolutely wonderful just to have 15 minutes where you did nothing.

I'm not saying I wouldn't get bored just waiting for extended periods of time, but sometimes it's nice to know that for the next 10 - 20 minutes, you just have to exist in this spot, and that's all that's really expected of you.

I don’t think so. Of course we can read pulp. Evenso, I doubt people would read as much pulp as they’d watch all you can stream programming.

Given the option of gorging on books or gorging on Netflix over a long weekend dawn till dusk, I bet most people would choose Netflix. If you randomly divided the people into those two groups and made them read and the others watch, more readers would wash out than watchers.
I agree, and that's one reason I like curated content such as PBS. We had some inappropriate/disturbing "next video" suggestions on YouTube that initially seemed OK at a distance or for the first few minutes that we didn't catch right away. So I wouldn't trust kids using YouTube except if an adult is setting the playlist and watching with them.

Whereas the PBS Kids apps (and Scratch Jr, Kahn Kids, etc) have curated content that I trust. We still limit their screen time and monitor their use by working in the same room, but it's not nearly as risky to let them use it on their own.
Cool, I should have read more of the article.

At this point, China could probably achieve reunification, even just de facto reunification, through economic control. No need for open combat, which would threaten economic stability.
Tech has this perversive notion that you have to be either the objectively best possible option or you’ll die. And this opinion seems to be held by the same people who have been proclaiming that Apple are going out of business because they can’t compete with Linux or Lenovo on pricing and that their mobile phone would fail for lack of physical keyboard or that they where a joke as a mobile company because “they only sell one model of phones”.

You don’t have to be the best, you just have to be your customer bases favorite choice. And Apple is great at delivering to and making money off their customer segment. No need to have a monopoly, no need to “slay the competition” they are just doing their thing making tons of money on a smaller segment of the total market. Imagine if people assumed the same about car brands, that there was only room in the world for a single car company. Sounds absolutely absurd doesn’t it?

Perhaps we can entertain the thought that Apple might not be going away even though they’ve been going out of business since 1976 according to public opinion.
If we have a semi functional system and a change made to it worsens the populations health it is more reasonable to stop this change and reverse over hoping for revolutionary change.

If some company has a buisness model that has negative externalities they should be taxed more for it. When taxing is not responsible because this would hit the poor dispropoertionally the buisness model should be banned.
I think that's debatable. As much as journalism has been democratized it's also nose-dived in quality. And I don't mean the MSM. The overwhelming majority of "citizen journalists" are producing very low quality or even downright detrimental work. At the same time, a lot of professional journalism has sacrificed quality for revenue. Public media like PBS and NPR affiliates are intended to promote professional journalism (or other edifying content) without the corruption of a profit motive.
Startup seeks to raise funding or generate profits as quickly as possible -> VCs invest and hope for 50x return within 10 years -> Liquidity event may take startup public where they focus on quarterly profit

This is a system of private funding that generates maximum profits within a 5-10 year horizon while China and its public funding and actions is focusing on generating foundational returns and innovation that will last well beyond that 10 year horizon. The US approach of subsidies for loss leaders and laissez faire when it comes to regulation is kicking the can and optimized to pump out millionares/billionaires that can provide outsized returns to people in the market (employees/founders/congress/entrepreneurs) but less for people on the sideline.
> and did you drop your compass under the seat?

You can get battery powered compasses that you stick on your dash. :)

My car's review mirror has a compass in it and I use it for navigation quite often.

Places I had to drive to before GPS are places I have a better understanding of how to get to. I have a friend who refuses to use GPS and his knowledge of the city is far far ahead of mine.

Of course I am lucky to live in a place built on a true x-y coordinate grid system where given any address you can navigate to it w/o issue using, well, just a compass. :)

I wouldn't try that trick in London! :) (There is a cool documentary about London cab drivers and what they have/had to go through to memorize the entire city)
The Internet is like a free cafeteria (yay!) where the heroin is right next to the broccoli, but also heavily advertised and dressed up.

Coercing people into making good choices in a non-starter. We need a huge broad based social effort to educate each other on how to be safe. The government can't be trusted to do it for us. We can't just say "coerce the bad guys into submission", because the bad guys will do the same and are better at it.
And I would give 50 downvotes if I could.

The only thing that quote is good for this century is letting upscale consumers pat themselves on the back. Goods are so much cheaper than when that quote was written that using cheaper alternatives and treating them as disposable is often times cheaper in the long run for many classes of goods and usage patterns.

These sorts of tropes and rules of thumb that have been stripped of all nuance and packaged up nice and neatly so that the lowest common denominator consumer on the internet can read, understand and press the up-vote button are good for little more than achieving said upvotes. When subject to the complexities of real life they are wrong as often as they are right. You may as well toss a coin. There are unfortunately no rules of thumb you can follow that will outperform even a minimal application of critical thought.
I find that video cards are the reason for the overwhelming majority of stability issues on desktops and laptops for at least the last 15 years (they didn't seem quite as bad when those cards were much simpler), across all operating systems, including macOS (how many models have had stability issues related to discrete video card heat management or other shittiness? But windows laptops with discrete cards tend toward similar problems) so I'd bet it's that. Luckily, since I don't do anything with machine learning or 3D modeling or any of that, I can usually get away with using ultra-stable Intel video or something similarly bland. I only put a fancy card in this because I wanted it to double as a gaming rig.

Win 10 on the same machine? Zero crashes in about a year. Linux in a VM on the same machine, hosted on Windows? No crashes. So it's probably the video card driver in Linux, not the hardware's fault exactly.

Lemme see exactly the card.... Radeon RX 5500 XT. Not exactly cutting-edge even when I bought it—I usually shop bang-for-buck, plus deliberately went a little out-of-date since I was buying for a planned Linux machine. Probably would have gone Nvidia but I'm aware which one works better on Linux has flipped sharply since Way Back When, the last time I ran Linux on a machine with a discrete video card. Didn't matter, still broken. No clear cause of crashes. Would crash in a game, crash while browsing, crash editing text. Often I've been able to track Xorg crashes to a specific action (playing Flash on the first version of Ubuntu to use PulseAudio, for example) but not this time. Driver is (or was, for the couple months I made a go of it) just absolute shit with this particular card, I guess.

("but that's AMD's driver, not Linux's fault" OK, but that doesn't matter from my perspective, the machine was unusable for either work or gaming with Linux on it, unless, maybe, I crippled the hardware by using an open-source driver)

[EDIT] that it did it in both Xorg and Wayland is another indicator it's likely a driver issue. It's that or bad memory, but Windows and Linux-in-VirtualBox-on-Windows don't crash, so I'm pretty sure that's not it.
We're actually working on figuring this out. Our current calculations assume we need to process a huge amount of seawater (11,000 tonnes per tonne of CO2), if the CO2 is the limiting factor (2000 umol). However our R&D suggests undersaturated seawater re-absorbs CO2 from the air surprisingly quickly. Might be able to get this 10x lower
Per calorie probably isn't a great measure. Lots of high-calorie but nutrient-poor foods will score highly by that measure.
I wasn't exactly suggesting that everyone work as contractors with a pre-negotiated contract.

I was more motioning toward the idea of "sprints" as being a similar thing to "milestones" — i.e. that the product of one or two weeks of labor at expected levels of productivity are "the contractual output", and that beyond that, the process by which an employee produces "the contractual output" is a black box which the Firm should not tamper with. Each "sprint" is not exactly a negotiation, because the person defining the sprints should be someone on the knowledge-worker's "side", protecting them from Firm over-exploitation with the goal of ensuring their long-term productivity.

As it happens, this is the original idea behind Extreme Programming — with an engineering manager presenting an API to the Firm where the Firm can push Tasks to be worked on, and then the Tasks will get broken up + rearranged + scheduled into Sprints, and from there allocated onto a set of knowledge-workers; and where the Firm can't know or control anything more about that "thread pool" of knowledge-workers, other than 1. knowing who is part of it, and 2. examining its aggregate output at the end of the sprint.
There is a much longer conversation about your eventual goals for the company and plans for monetization and hiring. However, I would keep it simple and form an LLC.

LLCs are relatively easy. You might be able to get everything done (or at least the forms submitted) by this afternoon if you start right now.

Forming a C-corp is much more involved and comes with a lot of hidden extra hurdles that aren't insurmountable, but they can be an extra drag on your time if you already hate dealing with the paperwork and other details. I'd look into a C-corp before you plan on bringing in other co-founders or investors or anything complicated like that, but in my experience they're not necessary at this stage.

And yes, you do want to form some sort of business entity for this venture. The chances of encountering legal trouble are relatively small, but if it does happen then you'll wish you had taken a few hours to at least form an LLC to protect yourself.

Hi, I'm Abhishek. I am a recent graduate student in Mathematics(with undergraduate degree in Computer Science). I am familiar with full stack development as well as machine learning and analytics. My ideal role would be a full stack engineer, a junior machine learning engineer, backend engineer or a statistician involved in building software.

I value company culture of warmth, growth and immediate action.
A sandwich place near me does BLTs, but ONLY in the summertime when the tomatoes are worthy. I love it.
I replaced battery in my smartphone from 2018 last week. Works perfect. It is not that difficult. Look on few guides on YouTube and you'll be fine. Be carefull with battery detatch. Usually it is glued by tape, but isopropyl alcohol helps a lot.
Nope, can't. Storing a Wireguard key on a Smartcard isn't possible, because current cards do not support the key format and algorithms Wireguard uses. Only RSA and ECDSA on NIST curves are available on Smartcards. And "reading" the key from the card would make the card useless, the important feature of a smartcard is that it doesn't ever make the key available for reading. Instead, the key is used for signing or decrypting _on the card_ only. If you can really read a key off of a smartcard, sue the manufacturer and never use the key or card again.
One fortunate aspect of electricity is that it's easy and efficient - on the order of 2-6% losses due to transmission for hundreds of miles - to transport.

Whether your country has invested in renewable sources like hydro plants and associated high-voltage, long-distance transmission lines is what matters. The geography of whether hydro plant is near the coast or not is of less importance than whether it exists or not!
A followup question... how do you regenerate the alkaline sorbent? It gets acidified in the process of extracting CaO from the water and needs to be made alkaline again somehow.
why are you and the guy below trying to use debian, and then complaining about hardware? using old kernels and drivers with newer hardware and then complaining things aren't smooth?
Requiring a vaccine isn't a "Pandora's box", if that were true we would have been a dictatorship decades ago when other vaccines were required. People have no perspective on anything these days or general knowledge about history.

I also wonder if there was something like that when windows mobile was on the market.

I've had good experiences using Tunsafe compared to the official client. Get full gigabit speeds from a decent VPN provider.
Thanks! Yes that's absolutely true, that could've been more specific. In the modern world almost every house needs concrete for something, at a minimum for the foundations.
The GP just offered his experience on why he went back to Windows. Reacting with hostility seems like a way to trap yourself in a world where you never hear of problems with desktop Linux. You will then be constantly puzzled why Linux is not more successful.
Read "Playing the Moldovans at Tennis". According to that book, most of the manhole covers had been stolen for scrap.
The `eval` part is total rubbish. The author draws a connection from memory safety to eval. For example both Rust and Haskell, are "memory safe" languages without `eval`. He is probably thinking about intepreted languages like Lisp.

Sorry, I meant once cable rolled around, there's always been something to watch on TV. It may not have been interesting to normal people, but to an addict that's not going to matter. There was also the option of buying or renting a ton of movies or DVDs and watching them one after the other. This honestly reeks of a moral panic to me.

I think "on-demand" is a blessing. We are no longer tied to broadcaster schedules, have to remember to "program the DVR", writers don't have to write a cliffhanger every 12 minutes for an ad break.
