Like the author, I've tried a ton of open source handheld platforms, and I've recently moved to CalyxOS for my daily driver. (And about to sell a box o' devices to help cost-justify buying a second Pixel for a backup CalyxOS device.)

As Android devices go, CalyxOS seems a good choice, if you're willing to not have all the Google service conveniences. I actually found some of the UX smoother than on iPhone, and e-mail worked better. Though note that CalyxOS is not as polished for privacy out of the box as users might assume.

One big problem is that Android is massive, and also doesn't seem to have been designed or deployed in practice to be privacy-friendly, nor especially open source-friendly. Even back in the FirefoxOS days, if you built that from source, it was clear there was no way you could audit or maintain all its Android dependencies (my hope was that they'd throw out the Android layer as soon as they could).

I have some hopes for Purism's Librem 5 Phosh running atop a mainlined Linux with open drivers (and ideally firmwares) on many devices at many price points. Though available hardware tends to be fundamentally insecure.

There also seems to be an additional barrier of US carriers imminently requiring VoLTE, and in some cases only allowlisting a small number of models.
Software Engineer salaries vary wildly, so this is not particularly helpful. You could easily be talking about anywhere between $200k-$700k.

Do you think that you would get most of the personal freedom benefits without the difficulty in work continuity if you worked 5 half-days a week instead of 3 full days?

Not suggesting you’d want to do that, I’m just wondering how you think it would play out.
Is there data to quantify how much more dangerous Delta is compared with Alpha, by age group? What we know so far is that Alpha is less dangerous for <18s than the flu. Could well be that Delta is worse than Alpha, while still less dangerous than the flu.
Lots of US ovens will hit 550°F without modification, and with a stone your pizza's cooked in ~7 minutes at that temp. It'll still be damn good. Fancy and gourmet and authentic-anything? No, but damn good. It'll even come out looking nice.

I just don't want people reading this thread to think you can't make really good pizza at home without buying a bunch of stuff or resorting to modding your stove. You can even make pan pizzas, so you don't have to buy a stone or any of that. More steps[0] but it works, and makes a better pizza than any major chain, with no special equipment whatsoever and very little mess.

[0] Pre-heat oven, lightly oil pan, build pizza in cold pan, heat pan on stove top until oil's been sizzling for a minute or so, cook in oven for ~5-10 minutes, turn on the broiler to finish the top when it's almost done—or hit the top with an electric heat gun or butane torch from your garage while it's heating on the stove top at the beginning, for finer control and to save time by skipping the broiler.

All we have to do is pass a law mandating that my blockchain is the only one allowed to track tree cutting. I’m very generous, so I host it for free and only charge a nominal fee per transaction. If you want to reduce the number of trees chopped, I can always raise the fee for that later.
In the UK, at least one sub has adopted the "no politics" role. Political subs still exists, so there are places to vent political views too.
> Should a customer’s TV be incorrectly blocked, the functionality can be reinstated once proof of purchase and a valid TV license is shared to serv.manager@samsung.com or click here for more information

This statement is from the source: https://news.samsung.com/za/samsung-supports-retailers-affec...

That means the Samsung TV's call home. How do they know when to stop calling home? The answer is they don't. That's one layer of the problem.

The second layer being that they can "incorrectly" brick someone's TV. Remote device administration when done by a TelCo requires a whole ton of validation, your eSIM goes through a fairly extensive validation check when it logs onto a network, which is why it has this capability in the first place. They are not the same thing in this way either. If TelCo's started accidentally bricking peoples phones I think you'd see similar criticism of the practice.

The third layer, as mentioned in other threads, is that most people don't keep receipts. A TelCo knows you went through an activation process with a certain phone number. It's a little easier to target at that point. You don't need to dig up a receipt from months or years ago.

What an oddly biased list for something purporting to be "the best pizzerias in the world". :-( A zillion NY pizzerias, but only a handful from Naples and not a *single* non-Naples Italian place, much less anything in Europe except London. It's as if Roman-style pizza didn't even exist, much less anything between the two cities. Al Taglio entirely missing. And the non-NY US cities are given short shrift. Speaking from personal experience, the only listing in DC is for the extraordinary 2Amys, a Neapolitan shop in a class of its own compared to nearly all NY listings: but there are now many DC Neapolitan pizzerias of very high grade. No mention.
I feel like people here are missing the other factor that will drive adoption of self driving vehicles: economics.

Safety is obviously important, but we already accept a decrease in safety over money and convenience (otherwise, we would have a 30kph speed limit everywhere).

But most people use their car for commuting, groceries, dropping the kids to sports, etc. They may make one or two road trips a year for vacations or business.

To facilitate this, a middle class family will often own two vehicles, pay tax, insurance and maintenance on said vehicles, pay for parking, etc.

If that suddenly wasn't necessary, that would be a massive saving for most people. You no longer need the capital investment in something that loses value.

Even better, you don't need to bring little Suzy to football, you can put her in a waymo instead (once she's old enough obviously).

And when you want to go drive to see grandma, you rent a car for the longer trip.

All of that depends on affordable self driving transport of course.

Kanye West asks court to legally change his name to Ye
I’m honestly confused by the points of view that hold that unless a person was/is as pure as the driven snow they deserve to be scrubbed from the history books.

Jobs, Churchill, Gates, Musk - I don’t understand. It’s as if proponents of that view believe that the only people deserving of recognition are those that were completely internally consistent, including by the times in which they are being judged (ie present tense).

Humans are complex. None of us (or at least, very very few of us) are fully internally consistent. The personality flaws that cause the greatest consternation may also be those that lead to our greatest triumphs. If they are not criminal, why not recognise people for doing great things? And why is it so hard to say add the caveat that like all humans, they had their flaws?
Yep, if you buy the small sealed sachets of instant yeast, and always throw them away after use, and don't store them indefinitely, you will be safe.

Dry active (as opposed to instant) yeast is not shelf stable, if you have to use it, always proof it.

I’m not sure what your piece of data has to do with how much Uber says you can rent a car for to drive for them. It seems like you want to really really believe that rental car prices advertised anywhere are complete fiction.
Can you give some examples? Certainly good ideas that nobody has replicated for decades would be valuable avenues worth pursuing.
Rental car companies do not need to either pay for the labor or the fuel to power their vehicles, and actually make a lot of extra money with "prepaid" or "return it empty" schemes. By churning their vehicles on a regular basis, they avoid many of the ongoing maintenance issues that would impact Waymo with their customized vehicles.

You're right that a Waymo would probably outsource the interior and (probably) mechanical maintenance to local providers, but they would need to deal with that in every city and with the additional technology involved in self-driving, you're probably not going to trust that the local shade tree mechanic will be able to handle that. So you have at least two problems now.

Over The Road drivers do make surprisingly good money, but that is a skilled job with a significant amount of training and regulation. In-town cabbies are often people with few other opportunities and are easily exploitable. The taxi cab business is notorious corrupt and is a big part of how Uber/Lyft could easily replace these services.
I'm talking about the kind of sit-down joint you find off wacker drive, as a tourist of IETF attendee, in a clutch of other people none of whom are local. Probably the mistake was allowing somebody to say "lets do pizza" instead of sampling the richer food choices beyond the tourism hub.

I've had many fine meals in Chicago. "deep dish" Pizza isn't one of them.
I experienced this for the first time, coincidentally, when traveling around France. Sometimes the battery would suddenly drop 20% or more and then shut off.
They do eventually erode internals after a few years, and become increasingly unreliable even after a deep clean, however each $29 upgrade also boots faster and starts playing faster too..

If estimates control how long you work, managers will tightly tune them so no one gets extra time off and occasionally people will be asked to stay back late because they didn’t meet the estimate that may have just been unfair. Any discussion around estimates will turn toxic when it’s an argument of how many hours people work.

Hours based work isn’t perfect but it means you can put in the average amount of effort and have consistent work hours without stressing over every task and if the estimate is perfectly accurate.
I'm probably just old and grumpy, but I ditched my newer smart TV's and moved to projectors. Last night I watched Altman's "The Long Goodbye" (1973) at around 120 inches on wall that has been skim coated and painted white. It looked like actual film with grainy night scenes and a muted color palette. It is a "dumb" projector and I love it. I love the experience of it.

I also love the fact that this little projector can go in a drawer when not in use. No black mirror dominating a room. It also means I don't really watch much until near dark which for me makes it a little more special. I actually have to wait for the optimum conditions to enjoy (the horror!)

I walked into Costco a few days ago and the new TV's are always near the entrance. Colors are saturated to cartoon levels, motion is 'smoothed' and HDR looks weird. It looks less and less like anything relating to human vision.

I'm clearly bucking the trend since I'm guessing all these TV's are hot sellers.
Unfortunately it's usually the bloat that makes money for these websites, whether they're ads or auto-playing videos.
I clicked on the link and got "Sorry, there are no offers available in your area. Please try again later".

So their rental business is limited, at best.
Okay, but we can agree that IBM powered the holocaust, and that those tattoos on survivor’s arms represented the punch cards for IBM systems, right?

> In any case, the vaccine is likely to have very severe adverse effects and may be even unsafe, given the aggressive cover-up by the Russian authorities, statements from authorities abroad, and anecdotal reports from those who took the vaccine.

"A preprint from the Italian Hospital of Buenos Aires in Argentina reported no cases of clotting disorders or adverse events of special interest among 683 health-care workers vaccinated with Sputnik V. And an analysis of 2.8 million doses of Sputnik V administered in Argentina reported no deaths associated with vaccination, and mostly mild adverse events. Furthermore, a study posted as a preprint in May, from the republic of San Marino, found no serious adverse events in 2,558 adults who received one dose of Sputnik V and 1,288 who received two doses." - https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01813-2

Many of the replies in this thread talk about empathy, and I get where they are coming from. The problem is, if your priority when hiring was empathy you would just offer the job to everyone you interview. It's true, everyone has the ability to grow and learn on the job, and once you hire someone you should be empathetic and help them grow as best you can. But it's asinine to suggest that watching for the signs and markers described in this article during the hiring process wouldn't be helpful.

Data doesn't come or leave batched. This is just internal mechanism.

Think in term of Discord, their database probably already queues and batches writes. Or maybe they could decide to fetch details of multiple users with a single query by noticing there are 10k concurrent asks for user details. So why have 10k queries when you could have 10 queries for 1k user objects?

If you complain that my process is different because I refuse to run it inefficiently when I can spot an occasion to optimize then yes, it is different.

Economics has also already given us lots of information on how much money people are prepared to sink into transportation - the owners of the self-driving cars/rental companies will attempt to extract that value.

I don't doubt there will be a shift in the overall economic picture, but it may not be as large for the car _user_ as we would hope. It will need to be better/cheaper in some dimension for it to get adopted, but the rent-seeking vultures are always circling, spoiling the utopia :-(

> Also: this americanism to refer to Pizza PIE. Thats Chicago, and is abhorrent sloppy nonsense.

First person I knew IRL who regularly referred to it as "pie" (to the amusement of the midwesterners he was working with—that's rare usage here) was a born & bred New Yorker. Americanism, yes, but AFAIK it's not at all confined to, or even resulting from, either of Chicago's major pizza styles.

In some databases, you neither have transparent virtual memory (like mmap or swap) nor can your runtime objects be guaranteed to exist in physical memory. In these models, references to your runtime objects are not pointers because a series of DMA operations into your address space may relocate them and your reference may also be on disk somewhere. DMA doesn't understand memory layouts or object models and has its own alignment rules, so when DMA writes to your address space, it is overwriting several potentially addressable and unrelated objects. Some databases don't even have locks to pin an object in place or arbitrate an access conflict; a scheduler decides when it is safe to dereference a particular pseudo-reference and resolves it to a transiently valid memory address. To make it a bit more complicated from the compiler's perspective, the handful of normal object pointers you do have are mapping all sorts of objects over the same memory as your other objects with different semantics, which looks like an aliasing violation at a minimum. The result is actually pretty elegant but implementation abandons any notion that an object exists at a unique memory address with a particular lifetime and knowable references. Nonetheless, it is essentially zero-copy, lock-free, and non-blocking, which is a major obsession among the performance people.

This architecture even makes C++ compilers a bit squeamish, so it is understandable why Rust looks at these things with abject horror. If you are leaning heavily on the OS facilities to do all those things for you automagically, which many open source databases do, then Rust works fine with only modest amounts of "unsafe" code. It just produces a database that is much slower.

As for the expressiveness, Rust is adding more metaprogramming facilities but it isn't there yet. C++ template metaprogramming is incredibly powerful for writing concise, correct database internals. I used to write databases in C99; it required like 5x the code to do the same thing and without the extensive compile-time correctness verification and type-safe code generation.

I gave away our SmartTV several months ago, and bought a dumb TV that is basically a cheap monitor with one HDMI input that we plug an Apple TV box into. I love this setup, but we don’t have the same hires quality display.

I would like SmartTVs a little bit, if they had secure operating system with good security updates, but I don’t think that they do. Our Apple TV box does get frequent software updates, and we don’t have to deal with being marketed to (pushing apps, etc.).

How does this work in winner take all markets? Or on a global scale where various societies are competing for resources?

If there was an unlimited supply of desired resources, then people would not compete. But a limited supply of the desired resource will necessarily lead people to compete.

Unfortunately, it might be human nature that that desired resource is power, whether it be on a micro or macro scale.
Cool , thx for sharing, if these image can be generated by AI, that will be pretty interesting
Might you also argue that empathy is putting people into roles they would flourish in? That hiring just anyone might be placing people into situations they would ultimately be unhappy with? That you may need to remove or even fire people when that role changes and this person isn't able to change with it? That putting the wrong person in the role is an opportunity cost for a better fit being happier with that position?

macOS should have just used the Linux kernel. The fairly complex and difficult-to-duplicate Cocoa UI layer would have made the odds of a macOS-compatible open-source clone appearing anytime in the near future slim.

Even today, I hope Apple makes a switch to their own patched version of the Linux kernel. It would be a great breath of new air into macOS. In terms of sheer features and compatibility, the Linux kernel surpasses Darwin by massive measures.
There have been modern electric cars available for, let's say, 15 years now and I haven't seen a single practical automated charging system.

There have been plenty of proposals, like Tesla's snake robot or inductive undercar charging plans, but no actual production-ready solutions. But even if you had the magical autocharging robot that will not help with gasoline powered vehicles (like all of Waymo's) and you still would need dedicated real estate and charging stations to recharge these vehicles.
