Where is the distinction? I certainly don't see businesses mentioned anywhere before your comment.

What about farmers that don't operate as an LLC? How about people that have livestock as a hobby? Or other hobbies that involve trailering, like race cars?

Then what are the SUVs being replaced with? Is it strictly cars? And what kind benefit do we see if SUVs are still allowed by some, but not others?

As far as we can tell... Yes, such a magnet exists. But it costs the power of a small city to maintain its field, and the patient would experience all kinds of strange effects, including levitating in it as it induced magnetic forces across their water molecules...

(Seriously though, there are research magnets powerful enough to levitate plastic that people have jammed their hands into with no ill effects. It seems that across a wide range of intensities at least, the human body just does not care. This is, perhaps, surprising given how much electrochemical activity is necessary for continued homeostasis, but it appears to be observationally true).
I agree on the teacher point. There are some teachers that really care about unleashing genius, creativity and curiosity. There are some that just want the paycheck each month. And a scale in between. I question the "system" and whether it's measuring (or able to measure) the 'right' things? As most of the behaviour from teachers and education leadership is based around attainment. Likely that putting a bunch of people in a cohort and trying to help them grow into curious, motivated individuals can't be done on a large group basis.

Largely, I think economics drives most systems, and the behaviour within those systems. It requires people to think and act beyond those boundaries for humanity to move forward.

If there were no developers, or no software, or no Internet, I wonder what humanity would look like right now.
In many, many cases trans folks change their legal name to their preferred name. A hint so your future concern trolling endeavors can be more successful: your biases become evident when you drag them into it by assuming trans people could never "legally" have the name they want, as if your actual concern with referring to trans people by their desired name is to make sure you use the name on their license. Do you card everyone you meet, or do they instead tell you their name and you use that name? Do you expect anyone to read your comment and believe that if a trans person changed their license to have their desired name, you wouldn't find another excuse to deadname them? Once again, I think you'll find your concern trolling is far more effective when you don't make it so obvious.

In answer to your insincere question, no one demands anything as "a matter of state mandate". C-16 does not even once mention pronouns. If I had to guess, I'd say you're probably building the house of this comment on the shaky foundation of a thousand YouTube videos from the same side of YouTube that you've gone out of your way to watch about C-16. The biggest issue you'll have with that is that it means you're going to have a hard time in discussions with people who are actually even somewhat educated on the topics you're trying to jump into.
Even assuming they are, it's not like they exist in a vacuum, and don't have any allies.

I'm sure the Gulf states and Pakistan, even China or Iran would be happy to help.

This is precisely why Education should not be treated as a business. If Education was free for every citizen, it does a lot to bring equality of opportunity (it does not fix all of the damages from discrimination, but aids significantly in recovery). So is healthcare.

Having experienced education and healthcare in USA and Denmark, I cannot believe such extremes exist in the same world. It blows my mind that the wealthiest country on Earth by such a huge margin could not give its citizens unified and free healthcare and free access to Education. Just imagine what would happen to American economy in the long run if people were free to educate themselves(better workforce) and didn't need to go bankrupt because they got an unfortunate health condition?

I am sad that there are no politicians that think about these in long term. Everyone seems to only care about the next election cycle.
You do realize the same person working on the Panfrost driver is working on Asahi, right?

We aren't a bunch of random people; we've been in this game for years. I think we have a better idea about the development effort required, likely timelines, and what project structure works than Larabel, who runs a blog.

As I said, we already have the userspace graphics stack passing a big chunk of basic test suites. We're already a good part of the way to getting this to work, in ~8 months including all of the hardware bring-up, not just GPU.
Pascal’s wager applies, as it does in startups as well.

There's a reason there's been so much research into AI moderation, although so far it always seems to either be useless or throwing babies out with the bathwater. Not to mention that without human systems to review what the AI decides (or even with) it tends to appear to users as automatic censorship (and they're usually not wrong about that).

Yes, and the infrastructure(Mesa, LLVM) and the like is much better, or at least much better than during the PowerVR MBX days, almost 20 years ago, when I was in the game. I have no doubt that something is going to come out of this. But really, are you going to claim that you have the people to make a RE driver on the level of, say, the Intel one?

For someone who is complaining about "sleep issues", I'm quite sure he is not understanding how different the situation is going to look.

node is on MDN for all browser APIs it implememts, there's just not many of them. Deno has much higher browser compat.

It's worth noting this isn't Node's fault: most Node APIs existed before there were browser equivalents and adding browser compat now is much harder for Node than for Deno which is starting from scratch.

Because safari isn't purely optimized for speed. It's optimized for 'fast enough', but also low power usage. Chrome is _only_ optimized for speed (and thusly uses far more power), though it's my understanding that google is rethinking that balance somewhat.
In that case their argument is even weaker. Just banning SUVs based on morality will cause those people to seek similar vehicles like vans and trucks, providing no benefit.

If some one starts a fight with you, you need to defend yourself. If some one starts a fight with some one innocent you should probably help defend them.

Pacifism is a nice ideal and easy to defend when talking about an unjustified war like Iraq. But when I see Afghans so desperate to leave they are clinging onto airplanes I think it's obvious that pacifism is just as pointless and detrimental.

No one sleeps easy.

Not sure it was only the Brits: I live close to Besançon in France, birth place of Charles Fourier, probably the first socialist.

Yeah I’m just saying out of principle it seems like a ridiculous move.
Considering the Intel driver can't even manage tear-free display on some of my machines... Yes, I am.

It helps that we only have to support one hardware platform at this time, not a whole line-up of legacy cards, and that as far as we've seen so far, Apple's hardware design is much cleaner than the competition.
Why all this anxiety over a proprietary general purpose computer?

> I’m so worried this project will get 95% of the way there, and then all the fun issues will run out and the M1 will be just another MacBook with WiFi, Bluetooth and sleep issues.

No one cared that the old G3/G4 Macbooks couldn't run "X" at the time they were released.

AMD is also working on an Arm with RDNA2. I'm more excited about that chip than the M1 as it will be inside of more machines than the M1, even if outperformed by the M1. The M1 is boring as it just comes glued inside of Apple hardware that I have no interest in.

> The obvious issue is to pay someone to do the work, and I am, but I still can’t shake the fear.

If you want the M1 opened because you already bought one hoping it would become open then you counted your chickens before they hatched. The anxiety is your own fault.
Okay, Hector, so assuming your Patreon reaches 100% when can we expect to have Linux working on M1 with similar performance, battery life and hardware video decoding in mplayer and Firefox?

That Brookings Institute page did not say anything close to "the ISI backs the Taliban in X material, provable way". It just mentioned that despite Pakistan's official stance on the Taliban, they "may" see them as preferable to the (now former) Afghan government, which has stronger ties to India, despite the Taliban's ties (ties are never explained just asserted) to a militant group in Pakistan that Pakistan actually has fought and spent material effort defeating...

I hope all the sources aren't as bunk as that one...
During monsoon season large amounts of water flows through the border wall bringing with it larges amount of debris which is caught against the border wall. This can cause two issues. The first is flooding of the land because the accumulation of debris eventually impedes the flow of water through the wall. The second is failure of the border wall itself because of the pressure of the water behind it or from water forcing itself under the blocking wall which undermines the foundation of the wall. The floodgates can be lifted to allow water to freely flow through the wall preventing these issues.

The border patrol lifts these gates at the beginning of monsoon season and lowers them again at the end of monsoon season. Although they were originally intended to be raised more the border patrol has taken to only raising them 4 feet in order to prevent vehicles driving through the opened gates. I would guess that either gates were not lifted at all for some reason or that particularly bad rains meant that raising them only 4 feet was not adequate.

> Apple's hardware design is much cleaner than the competition.

So the "planets are aligned differently", this time. Well, we'll see. I have my doubts since my impression is that Apple looted Imgtech for their GPU, and everything I remember about Imgtech/PVR is a complete disaster.

In a c2s model, TLS is usually not considered end-to-end encryption. End-to-End refers to your server not being able to read the contents of your communications. For something like FSNotes, that would probably look like encrypting your notes with your own public key before sending them to the server.
> What's the mix of vaccinated and unvaccinated people in the hospital?

According to <https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/08/grim-warning-israel-...> in Israel last week around 60% of critical cases are fully vaccinated.
Why even stop smoking if it does not stop 100% of all cases of cancer?

The more people are vaccinated the less people will become infected and will be spread the virus at any time.
The less people are spreaders the less breakthrough infections can happen. It is a feedback loop and not really hard to understand.

It's all very well that a company can disable your account without any recourse but I would be interested in someone with deep enough pockets to take legal action against an organisation that actually posseses your property.

If a bank closed my account and wouldn't give me my money back and their "decision was final", I would be rightly outraged. I guess the problem is just the massive disparity between some Joe Schmo who cannot afford legal action and these multi-billion corporates who can actually afford to lose.
> Why is it newsworthy if a programer gets a program running on a general purpose computer?

In some sense, a computer with nearly entirely undocumented hardware isn't 'general purpose'. This effort is literally the process of taking a non-general purpose computer and turning it into a general purpose computer, and the news is that a major milestone has been reached.
>For a long time, the scholarly consensus was that you are born with a fixed number of neurons and then start losing them over your lifetime

It's worth pointing out that this is one of those old-school ridiculousnesses that many scientists believed in for much longer than the available evidence ought to have afforded. Much in the same way that North American hospitals used to refrain from analgesics when performing minor surgeries on very young babies, as they were assumed to not experience pain (?!), up until the late 80s, so too was the mounting evidence (Merzenich in the 80s, etc) of adult neurogenesis generally dismissed because reasons.

If you used SQLite like the grandparent described (adding check constraints to the CREATE TABLE statement), it would error out when running the statement with the incorrectly bound types. The proposal here is basically to (if you opt in to it) automate that process so it just happens automatically.

I have no idea how the postgres C API looks, but the SQLite API has different functions for binding different kinds of data types to prepared statements, like `sqlite3_bind_int` for ints, `sqlite3_bind_blob` for binary blobs, `sqlite3_bind_text` for strings, and so forth. So SQLite "knows" the source type you're binding.
My point is that I would have supported faster vaccine development that by now everybody in the world would be twice vaccinated and possibly with a booster jab developed for delta variant specifically. Somehow everybody responding to my post manages to omit this and talk about things they don't understand but strongly believe, i.e., restricting our rights is cool but developing vaccines with volunteers who agree to get infected deliberately is bad because muh ethics.

We have plenty of unused buildings in this pandemic. Take any big hotel which could be easily refitted for hospital purposes. A couple of years ago my native country Latvia closed a lot of hospitals to reduce costs. There were even protests against those closures but the government in its infinite wisdom knows best. As far as I know, those building are still there, in many cases used for some trivial purposes.

And if we talk about health care in Afghanistan (which I studied closely) then they managed to provide basic care (vaccinations, antibiotics, diabetic medicines) for about $10 per person per year (thanks to the donations from IMF, World Bank and WHO which most internet commentators detest). Yes, the basic emergency care really costs so little if we are forced to cut out all bullshit and reduce our standards a little but still keep most of the gains in child and adult mortality. Since the Taliban has returned, it is possible that they will lose this funding and highly probable that all the gains will be lost in the next few years. But those we don't care about because muh they deserve it for being so stupid to be born there or something...
