I'm over 30 too, and I believe in not allowing corporations to externalize costs onto customers. If my data is compromised, that should be very, very expensive for the corporation.

When I was young, I wasn't a fan of this sort of policy, since I looked at things less holistically, and on shorter timeframes.

Holistically, higher damages aren't anticorporation, but just shift the ecosystem. Over time, companies who treat data securely will have a market advantage. Different, more secure programming practice will evolve, and companies will innovate and compete in security.

My thinking changed around the time GDPR passed. Before, I thought policies like that were anti-corporate. After, I saw how they changed market forces, but economies did just fine or better. Externalizing costs isn't good for economies.
Ah but that's only for voice calls, right? Would it still be possible to connect for data?

I personally hardly use regular voice anymore. Some months I have 2 to 3 minutes, most of my calls are over WhatsApp or Teams :) I don't think I've had more than 10 minutes on my bill for years.

Also, 5G is coming and I hope they finally standardised the voice part well enough and don't make the same mistake as VoLTE. However I haven't really looked into that.
In their defense, that would likely be a terrible idea. You're presuming the highly paid people are evenly distributed among the company, which is likely not true. Just one example, you would expect that given their tenure, they would be higher up the command chain. Doing that is going to gut your management. You could end up firing some people's entire report chain.

At the very least, it would be sane to make sure that you don't accidentally fire entire teams (assuming you still need whatever function the team provided).
I'll drop this reminder here: donate to your local linux phone OS projects! Donate money, code, bugs, triage, design... Donate PR time. They're all running on shoestring or non-budgets.

We've all let these projects die of starvation, and now we keep having these threads but frankly none of the big two platforms have to be afraid people might flock away. Maybe to the other big platform, until they flock back during the next brouhaha...
CNN: “they are chanting ”Death To America“ but seem friendly at the same time”
> Does that make any sense

Not to me, sorry.
I remember one of my first jobs, I was in this super boring call center job and I installed this on my computer (around 2006), it really help pass the time and I could pull my attention away at any time. Wow what a nostalgic trip, thanks for sharing!
As a counterpoint, I recently tried to sign up for a store card to take advantage of promotions on a large purchase. I was not approved- apparently because “my phone number could not be validated”. This even though I had my drivers license, ssn, and spoke personally with a bank representative. Weird.
One thing I notice these days on line is people overgeneralise about everything (irony intended).
I started an ISP in 1997 so I could have a lower ping time for Q/QW/TF.
Actually women who don't have partners at 38 are desperate.
Now imagine if that number is 5%+ -> i'm sure many many people would give it up!
I've always wanted to understand how a game like this actually runs, but always struggled with navigating through a project. I'm adept at reading and understanding code, but struggle to understand aa big project like this.

Where does one start when looking at a github like this - where's the "game loop" actually live?
CalyxOS offers a preloaded Pixel 4a on their site and also lists all of the handsets they currently support: https://calyxos.org/get/ .
Warzone 2100 is an amazing game. When first released it was way ahead of it's time, and the fact that the community managed to track down the rights holders, successfully convince them to open source the code, then successfully get them to open up the license on the cut-scenes and music is absolutely astounding. I really wish this was the norm for end-of-life games instead of a rare story of an extremely dedicated fan-base moving mountains.
Biden Speech on Afghanistan
The bottom line is that users aren't aware that they're giving up 6 months of past and future transaction history to the Plaid integrator when they login using Plaid. This is obviously deceptive.
> I think it very much is the same thing.

It doesn't fit the regulatory definition for two key reasons:

(1) the regulatory definition of bait advertising turns on intent at the time of advertising, not decisions which happen later.

(2) the regulatory definition also turns on the intent being not to sell the thing adveritsed; even if the intent in advance is to sell it on different terms, that is not “bait advertising” (it may br prohibited by some other law or rule in some cases.)

> Both quotes you wrote down seem to quite clearly apply in this Pepsi case.

Even if you could construe the ad as an offer to sell anything, it wasn’t an offer to sell one thing to lure people in and sell them something else.

(And, of course, the Court already ruled in the case, in adjudicating a different claim to which the same question was relevant, that it couldn’t be reasonably viewed as an offer at all.)
You’re overestimating the role of the architecture. X86 is just fine, and is perfectly competitive at comparable node generations. Don’t believe everything Apple tells you. ;)

It is weird that a lot of folks in the thread ignore the very real costs of transition. If there was a nationwide subsidy system for retailers from merchants and banks for fraud reduction en masse, then the transition would be smoother. But since there isn’t it’s partially an iterated prisoner’s dilemma.
Following a fully logically valid set of inferences seems extremely inefficient - we need to make decisions constantly and relying on short hand for most of those seems perfectly rational - it's rational to trust irrational gut feelings for most unimportant decisions because trying to fully prove all actions is a fool's errand.

I think the article is more focused on those big decisions where rationality is certainly warranted and so often ignored. People who are highly skilled at life have developed their gut feelings and instincts to be able to determine which decisions they really need to sit down and think hard about and which ones they can mostly ignore. When most people buy their first house the decision is so immensely large and represents such a high value (more than half a million at least for a lot of city folk) that there is a desire to detach from it to free yourself from responsibility - since you cannot sanely account for all factors it is "safer" to protect your ego by delegating the decision entirely on your id - doing so allows you to, post de facto, entirely free yourself from any responsibility of your poor decision. This, I think, is the main factor we need to fight against to make rational decisions - you must accept failure and be willing to be wrong without shame. Do your best to evaluate your options on important decisions and realize that there are a number of decisions you obviously can't fully rationalize out - you can only make your best attempt. But realize that making your best attempt and being wrong - as much as it might hurt your ego - is a better alternative than "letting it ride" and being able to stand blameless on the far end.

The fight for rationality is mostly a fight against emotional fragility and intellectual laziness.
IIRC, all those engines provide an ECS that could be compared to entt.

Also, there is Hazel[0] which is based on entt and is the subject of an amazing youtube series[1].

IMHO, tinier means less features, at that point what could be considered comparable?

Censored is the word. I think opinions or information should never be censored since for many people, myself included, it creates a psychological response to trust the censored content more.

I'm not saying the censored content is actually more trustworthy. Science is (should be?) A process of accepting all theories backed by evidence, experimentation and the failure of competing theories. If you censor scientific papers and evidence because they are politically inconvenient it effectively dismantles one of the few effective tools we have for a shared understanding.
AsciiDoctor is also well worth investigating; it is designed to compile to Docbook XML, which has a rich set of publishing tools.
And money. Lets not forget the trend of paying their top executives big bonuses while laying off the staff.

For example: https://www.ign.com/articles/activision-blizzard-has-reporte... (yes, yes, that bonus was part of a contract from 5 years ago, but its still in rather bad taste to pay out hundreds of millions while laying off a load of staff)
There's also a timeline element to this.

I may not have saved myself any money at all by doing things myself when I was 25. But now I'm 57, and I can more or less fix anything in my house, and carry out more or less any changes I want or need to do, without outside assistance.

Me fixing that one toilet leak myself at 25 was probably a net cost to myself - tools & time considered. But at this point, when I can just remove a defunct radiant heating system from my house without even thinking of calling a plumber - by this point, I'm way ahead on cost. Similarly for electrical and basic framing work.

Plus, I manage to almost entirely avoid having to interview/audition contractors and deal with the stress of them (almost invariably) doing a worse job that I would have done myself.
Python/Js are interpreted by default and not good system programming choices. Go is compiled. This comparison totally misses the mark. In fact Go was developed mostly as C++ but sometimes Python replacement at Google.
IMO, the long position on Intel is basically a bet on China invading Taiwan, or the US gov't subsidizing Intel. Both are certainly extreme events, but given Chinese military expansion and US increase in gov't spending, it doesn't seem impossible.
What percentage of the population behaves in the ways you seem concerned about? Each of those (idiocy, inebriation, and assholery) may have a variety of causes, and could be exacerbated, rather than fixed, with a fine. What are some proactive ways we could help travel routes be safer?

Do you expect harmful behavior to reduce to zero?
I certainly enjoy the perks of living in a post-agrarian society. I too love to cook (and garden) a bit, particularly so when I know that I have options for feeding myself that don't start with tending the fields all day.
What a nostalgia trip this is. I played this obsessively on the original Playstation. I'm gonna have to download it and check it out. Impressive to see that the repo is still highly active!

It's really sad that the RTT genre has all but vanished. The game studio Massive used to make excellent RTT games like Ground Control and World in Conflict. Anyone got any tips on similar newish games?
Yes, the solution are astronomical penalties.

And a corporate dissolution isn't the outcome. The outcome is that T-Mobile goes into bankruptcy, with its customers as the debtors. The outcome of that is that a bankruptcy court divides up the assets to maximize payout to you.

Most likely, this means:

- T-Mobile, as an entity continues to exist, as-is..

- Shareholder value is wiped out...

- And handed to customers, as the customers become shareholders.

T-Mobile has a 180B market cap, which probably means you acquire stock worth a grand or so.
CNN considers that a friendly statement to their worldview and audience, it's just unusual for them to state it quite this clearly.
Ugh. There are no panel gaps shown in the linked video, nor any manufacturing defects. The complaints are about damage and dirt in a loaner vehicle from a service center.

This is what I meant. It's a meme. All you care about is that headline ("Tesla Can't Build Cars") and not the truth about anything.
When I first heard the term "revising your notes" I assumed it meant the kind of synthesis you speak of, or at least finding errors in lecture material. No, apparently it just means looking at them again, at least as a minimum.
Over your lifetime, you might need 5 or 6 sets of shelves. Buy yourself a porta-tablesaw for about $400-$500 (or cheaper on craiglist etc), learn to use it, and chances are that somewhere in the middle of your life, the cost equation will have flipped in your favor.
Spent so much time planning out and figuring out how to build a custom workbench for a weird area (sometimes, you just need an airbrush booth in a bath/shower stall).

Ended up just buying something from Harbor Freight.
FYI: MapLibre is a fork of the last version of MapBoxGL that did not require payment/registration even if you don't use mapbox tiles.
Have you proven there is going to be only one shadow? Is it possible there are symmetries?

I tell you that these are two different problems, just read it again:

1, given light source and an object, find position of occluders so that the object is never illuminated

and

2, given light source and occluders, find all places that are not getting illuminated,

I'm pretty sure MS would like to push the same kind of limitations, take the same cut etc. They really saw a cloud of dollars went they went all in with Tablet design in Windows 8 and UWP etc.

They're coming back from that now because nobody wanted it but I don't doubt they still want to create their own walled garden. It's free money off app sales, control that gives them leverage over their customers and develops, data which they love (they're always pushing telemetry).

I don't really see what's in it for them to make a really open store.
Sure, we’ll not .5-1$ but double or dribble the normal price: yeah
The thread should be posted using the SuperMemo algorithm.
There isn't an "opportunity cost" as the article discusses, there's no evidence that Congress would have spent that money on something else. It doesn't sit in an account and then they allocate it, they make it up on paper and then try (and fail) to cover it later.
Because the IoT devices are invited, EULA and all. You aren't invited just because you walked in.

Good point, thanks. My point was vaccines are great, and I’m sorry to give fuel for doubt. I don’t think my numb thigh was due to any of the vaccines, but rather the needles. It could also be unrelated, and I’ve erroneously linked them. It’s gotten neither worse nor better in the last handful of years, and is a minor concern, as far as I know.
Yep, basically anything capable of playing new games at low setting and older > 3yr old games at better settings should be highly competitive in the low-end gaming market.

It's basically ultra advanced cruise control that can also handle stop and go traffic on a well marked road. That frees the driver up to dedicate more of the situational awareness budget to other things.

If you use it that way it's fine. If you expect it to be as smart as a student driver it's not fine.
Very good question. I wonder if some dual publishing app developers could answer that question.
T-Mobile explicitly excludes out-of-date software from their bug bounty program. Same with CSRF and XSS issues.

If you can’t tell, how do you know this is the case?
I don't put any faith in it at all actually. That's why I pay attention while it drives, looking for novel situations, which would include self driving errors, so I can correct them.
+1, this is the text of the February 2020 deal signed between the USA and Taliban which stipulates full removal of all USA troops:

https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Agreement-F...

Reading between the lines, the USA is shifting focus to 'containing China', and now the USA and China are competing over who the Taliban will have better relations with given that Afghanistan shares a 47-mile border with China that leads into Uygur Xinjiang where the Communist Chinese are putting Uygur Muslims in "Re-education through labor"[1] camps. Thus China has already been courting the Taliban[2] in hopes of preventing, say, the CIA from supporting the Taliban in a proxy-insurgency along the Xinjiang border, just as the CIA supported the pre-Taliban Mujahedeen against the Soviets in the 1980s.

I appreciate the thoughtful response.

Wiring up a frontend to a backend isn't a trivial task, but is pretty typical software engineering. If part of the work (the ui) could be done for you, wouldn't that be a clear value-add?
They're npt. That's why they happen so often.

Cochrane Crowd: a collaborative volunteer effort for healthcare evidence
The only actual issue with this setup for citizens of the US is that US citizens like to be the people with access to the data and doing the spying. What you have described, a state intelligence service with access to loads of user data that they happily use for spying is what the US has normalized. Collecting all this data is par for the course (Snowden exposed that pretty conclusively) and non US citizens have no rights as far as the US is concerned. Are they (china) doing it, probably not, seems like a lot of effort for very little gain I mean you find out that I like puppy videos and mostly stay in my house. It's a fun app though :) - also to the original person's tweet, most of the apps on my iphone pop this up from time to time, so if we are going to accuse TikTok of spying on me we should be accusing Calm and Insight Timer too (to randomly pick two).
I don't think this is quite right. My understanding is that 4:2:2 chroma subsampling for Rec. 601 video (and the choice of sampling at 4x the chroma sub-carrier) came around in the days of 525/59.94 vs. 625/50 systems, before even the Japanese analog HDTV systems -- see my link above (https://tech.ebu.ch/docs/techreview/trev_304-rec601_wood.pdf).
The most interesting bit:

"Persistent neutralization of the wide-spread Alpha and Delta variants one year after wild-type infection may aid vaccine policy makers in low-resource settings when prioritizing vaccine supply. The reduced capacity of neutralizing Beta and Gamma strains, but not the Alpha and Delta strains following both infection and three different vaccine regimens argues for caution against Beta and Gamma-exclusive mutations in the efforts to optimize next generation SARS-CoV-2 vaccines."

The ability of Delta to spread more rapidly than Beta or Gamma, does not appear to be based on superior ability to infect previously infected or vaccinated people. Which is good news, really, but also raises the question of, why is it spreading faster than Beta or Gamma, then?
Oh man, an oldie, but goodie! It's funny to see the browser version be like the old windows version I remember. I got really hooked on idle games back in the day. Cookie Clicker, Candy Box, and A Dark Room are all great too.
Please tell me which option we had that was “in our interest”.
No idea. My point was to promote vaccination, even if there might be potential side effects in a small number of people. I accept that risk to help others. I’m not sure the vaccinations or physical injections are even the cause.
No. More because Rust offers modern language features and it's much easier to get code working then in Go.
I can literally -- and I mean that word in the proper usage -- think of nothing in the N900 (or earlier models) that changed the world in any way. And I still own, and occasionally use, my N800.

Prior to the iPhone the acme of portable touchscreen interface design was the Newton Messagepad 2100. Its interface was superior to Maemo in practically every way, despite being discontinued ten years prior.

Maemo feels like a crappy, half-assed attempt to implement some of the Newton's magic on top of X11, and with weird desktop mouse-oriented design elements (menus, scroll bars, combo boxes, Windows-style tree-views, even cursors in some apps) bolted on awkwardly without any thought about their appropriateness to a tablet operating system. I wrote an extensive article comparing the two way back when, when I was doing a moderate number of contributions to the N800 platform. Maemo was amateurish at best, with an incredible array of inconsistent and obtuse iconography, several inconsistent sizes and designs for the same exact kind of GUI element (text buttons, icons, ), a complete lack of state persistence, absolutely horrible fonts, and a desperate need to be backward compatible with X11, hardly the best choice for a mobile OS GUI foundation. It was clearly built by linux software developers and not GUI designers.

iOS didn't borrow anything from the N900: it borrowed directly from the Newton and from MacOS and NeXTSTEP, when it wasn't inventing things from whole cloth.

Thankfully now Android has shown us that Linux can shine in the mobile pad market, if you jettison X, stupid archaic design elements from desktop GUIs, and design a consistent and organized interface from the ground up considering the needs of the device and and user.
Hey man, suck my Johnson.
Something to keep in mind is, despite those 30 years of experience that leads to one not needing to think about contacting a professional, knowing whether the work you're about to perform requires any permits/code; the lack of which might affect homeowners insurance claims or local code enforcement.

If I can get the same game on Steam and GOG I will always pick the latter.

These have different causes.

The problem with radar on the ground is that most of what comes to a radar detector is reflections from a stationary world, with relative delays so small as to be undetectable. So the first step in processing is to filter out everything at the speed of that motionary world. All fixed objects therefore disappear, and you are left sorting out moving objects. Which means you now can't detect stationary objects at all.

Tesla has a different problem. They probably don't have depth perception. They therefore have to classify objects, and make educated guesses about where they are relative to the car. Unexpected kinds of objects, or objects in unexpected configurations, fail to be classified and therefore fail to be analyzed.

In principle, Tesla can succeed. After all we don't have binocular vision past 6 meters either. Tesla is improving.

But they haven't yet.
