Hey guys, I have created a little app to help myself beat procrastination. You ask how? Simply by tracking your time. I tried to make the easiest way to track time by simply writing what you are currently doing. In order to stop a track, you have to enter a new one, because we never stop doing something! I hope you like it! Leave me your feedback!
On the other hand tacking on a $10,000 carbon surcharge on a car that costs $1.5m doesn’t seem likely to hurt sales.
The conservative approach to racism would be to equalize opportunity (to the extent the government is allowed
to) and replace the instincts that lead to racism with strong civic nationalism and then wait a very very long time, which is a solution that acknowledges that social change takes a long time.

You claim this is denial, but that's a biased reframing of the stated solution. This is a potential solution, but is not acceptable to the 'woke'
Maybe we need an open source set of microcontroller package footprints so they are at least pin compatible ?
Hundreds of millions in the US is from $0.30 up to $2.99 per capita.

Maybe similar in scale to yearly losses from stuck vending machines.
If you make a product with low margins it is much better for you to under-produce rather than over-produce.

I suspect this makes it somewhat hard to restart the economy as there isn't any surplus of a lot of materials. And since downstream consumers are blocked, they fail to generate the demand needed to justify bringing up production.
Which (may) highlight the fact that now one never has to think of her.
Can you share a pic of your monitor in use? Sounds like a cool idea.
On my team fit/engineering values interview I always asking about benefits of autotests. People who said that tests written alongside the code are the best documentation are getting a mental "plus one point".
Good to hear. There is a great app for it on Android, and I remember there being at least one for IOS.

On the desktop for browser integration there are at least a couple well-maintained extensions. There is also gopass for sharing passwords with a team or multiple people.
Nobody said it was free. Just available.
>> Sure if you plan to pave over huge swaths of currently protected wilderness you can find more land

That's exactly my point. You don't have a shortage of land in the Bay Area. You have progressives who would rather have people sleep on the street than build on that land.
The ban is on new engines
I'm saying that legally speaking (not morally speaking), being deprived of intangible things (aka services, think "verbs") is somewhat different from being deprived of tangible things (aka goods, think "nouns"). Neither entirely different (obviously), nor entirely identical (obviously). They're not treated the same way in general and I don't think you'd want to treat them identically for legal purposes.
Why would a user-friendly system need error messages in the first place?

The modal dialog breaks UX spectacularly.

Even logs should have messages that actually are intuitive to follow.
I agree with that, but isn't this article about an exemption from a ban, not from a surcharge?
It sounds like you are saying that air-shipped flowers ONLY use excess capacity on already scheduled flights. And then it sounds like you are implying the same about fruits, in particular bananas in the winter.

This is probably not what you meant. But, if you did, I would absolutely love to read the data you gathered this from.
Teenagers aren't as lonely in lockdown if interacting positively online. (cont)
There are 50 million of your Accords on the streets, there are thousands of supercars. Are you that thick?
Spoken as someone that doesn't have a ton on extra space in their house, and maybe moves around semi-frequently? nothing wrong with that, but let's not pretend that either extremes are universal.

Bad idea from an image perspective, from a statistics perspective it wouldn't matter. But if you want to create buy-in from the population the best way to sink that is to give an exemption to the ultra rich.

The easiest way would be to start enforcing the ban today, but percentage wise, and then over the course of the next 14 years enforce a fixed percentage of the cars produced to be fully electric until the last vehicle to roll off the line with an ICE is made in 2035. That way nobody gets an excuse and the likes of Ferrari can make bank by selling their ICE based vehicles at auction for ever higher prices. Problem elegantly solved.
This is fantastic, thank you for sharing.

I used to wonder where my penchant for writing “Dear Administrator” letters came from, and reading your post reminded me that as a high schooler I was encouraged to write these by basically every student club’s faculty advisor, anytime we needed money or supplies or other resources, or had a conflict, or any number of other scenarios—which of course in retrospect is great practice for life. Or at least, great practice for being a lawyer—and probably not a coincidence that half my high school friends chose that profession.
That's how you know they love you.

Sure, that's a literal definition of unlimited.

In reality, I've seen it implemented as a "take what you need" policy. Unlimited in that sense means there is no upper bound. Managers are trained to push people who are trending under 5 weeks per year to take more time off. Some people take a lot more than that. Work still get done and people seem happy to do the work. Sample size = 1 employer. Inauthentic?

Their example would still hold true if they were using a font they developed themselves, except instead of having to record the license information they would have to produce a license.
Luxury cars and supercars are not equivalent terms; the latter is about speed and power (and so, carbon). Example; a Rolls-Royce is a luxury car, where a Lamborghini Veneno is a supercar.
The problem is that stock prices are not going up. TSMC actually tanked (I lost money) mainly because various governments pledging for domestic production which is probably still 5 years down the line. This only further aggregates the shortage.
Emergency medicine doctors appear to routinely suffer from this: most are expected to stay after their 12-hour shifts (some EDs have 8, 9, or 10 hour shifts, but 12 is common) to finish charting and take care of other tasks, but hospitals never pay for this time. I've asked EM docs about taking this to state labor boards and the like, but most seem not to think that wage theft is a problem, or fear retaliation too much to do so.
Hold on hold on. This comment presupposes that blacks have ways been disadvantaged. That's not true at all. Before the civil rights movement of the 60s, black incomes were increasing at a faster rate than whites and were on track to surpass the white income. Blacks even had more kids born within wedlock. The ghettoization of the African American community is a recent development. For most of the post bellum period, African Americans were on a swift upward trajectory. They were much like Asians today, who also often started with nothing in this country (due to currency export restrictions) and whose education achievement and incomes surpass whites...

Indeed poor black immigrants to this country do extremely well also.

All this is detailed extensively in the vision of the anointed by Thomas sowell (an accomplished black man from this era)
This feels like someone's private rough notes, but seeing as it's on the front page I have one nit-pick:

> OS packages...which are installed with apt-get (linux) or homebrew (mac)

(Home)brew isn't bundled with Mac, and also works on Linux. And lots of Linux distros don't use apt.
According to the article they have decided that the way forward is by going with “bigger and better” models, which necessitated the need for more resources.

I’m going to trust them on their reasoning, but with that premise what are the options here if they lack required resources?

If they to avoid what is dubbed a “sell” option to private money, the other option is to get some public funding or to be honest about the issue and close the shop.
I'm new to Linux. Is there a good overview of different password managers out there? Switching off Apple Keychain so looking for some basics.

Apple made it easy so I didn't think about the concept much so not sure what I need. Is a password manager just for all my browser logins?
Sorry I haven't had the time to write a thoughtful reply.

Are you talking about a state where cannabis was de-criminalized?

I agree that ease of access does have an effect on people, but the effect of iCloud scanning is so marginal in the grand scheme of things that it's almost like fighting drugs by installing surveillance cameras in malls. They just go trade and smoke elsewhere. The friction is virtually zero, but the privacy concern of scanning on half a billion Apple devices is much worse.

It's worth keeping in mind that CSAM is already highly illegal and banned, whether Apple scans iCloud photos makes no difference on that front. So it's nothing like the difference between weed being de-criminalized or not.

Also, fact is you already have to jump through hoops to obtain CSAM. It's very rare to stumble upon it being casually shared online (I think the last I witnessed it must've been around 15 years ago on 4chan, and somewhere between 5 and 10 years ago in a spam attack on freenode). Trying to search for it on the clearnet is mostly going to yield nothing.

In general, people also tend to know when they're doing something highly illegal. And yet they still do it, just taking the steps to try avoid being caught. No difference with CSAM. They will jump through hoops, and "don't store child porn on iCloud" is the tiniest of hoops to jump for real.

Password protected archives were meant to be just one example of how to bypass scanning on cloud platforms, and one that happens to be widely used among casual pirates. Google drive might be one of the biggest pirate services around these days. The bigger point I was trying to make is just that there are countless ways to share files without exposing their contents to scanning. Nothing for people who are willing to jump through hoops to get CSAM.

Finally, one point I've had to try make over and over again is that detecting the storage or distribution of old (catalogued) CSAM photos is only very tangentially related to actual abuse of childen. Unfortunately that keeps happening even if you destroy the internet and make sure no photo is ever stored in the cloud again.

I've said it before: child abuse and violence existed before cameras and internet, and will continue to exist. Detecting images of abuse or violence is not going to stop abuse or violence.

And if someone makes a system that is efficient at detecting all catalogued (=old) images of CSAM, then that might just create a larger market for "fresh" (uncatalogued) child abuse. Credit to nullc for realizing this.

And on protecting-the-children front, there are much bigger problems than stashes of old CSAM. Like grooming, or chatrooms where child prostitutes are forced to stream for an audience..

(2009), but still relevant today.
This story sort of relates to BO and/or possibly other backdoors. If anyone can help me understand the mystery of what happened to me back around 2001 I would be forever grateful:

I believe I was in 4th or 5th grade and one night, I was playing Diablo 2 online with my cousin. My family was still using dial-up at the time so I was using one line to play and the other line to talk to my cousin on the phone. It was getting late and I was getting tired so I told my cousin I was going to call it a night. I exited Diablo 2 and continued talking to him on the phone. All of a sudden, I noticed a window pop up on my screen and it read:

"MASTER: what are you doing?"

I immediately asked my cousin if it he was messing with me. He proclaimed to not know what I was talking about and for a little bit I didn't believe him. I clicked in the chat box and asked:

"SLAVE: who is this?"

Anytime I messaged back it labeled me as "SLAVE." Anyways, the chat continued and the person told me to "look behind me." Mind you I'm in the basement and there was nothing behind me besides my dad's computer desk. This is where it got spooky:

"MASTER: who are you talking to on the phone?"

At this point, my cousin swore it wasn't him and I believed him. I looked up at my monitor and chills were sent down my spine. My mom had just given me a webcam for Christmas (I guess they had just become popular) and it was at this point I realized this person had been watching me this entire time. I panicked and immediately pulled the phone cable from the back of my Dell. It was hard to sleep soundly that night.

Believe it or not, I'd like to think this person gets partial credit for sparking my interest in computer security. From that point on, a chain reaction started and I began to immerse myself in security and became fascinated with learning about its history. Today, I happily have a career in the field :), but I still think back to this story from time to time and wonder what exactly happened.

Could it have been a Diablo 2 exploit? Maybe I joined someone's hosted game, they were somehow able to get my IP address, and then possibly exploited Windows XP? The chat window mechanism seemed pretty unique to me (maybe I'm wrong) like this person created it themselves. I'd be curious to read other people's theories. Maybe the person that executed the attack reads this post and can explain it all... :)
The CHIEF’S NIGHTMARE; The breaking news that touches the heart
Yes, and the ultra wealthy will keep flying private jets too while the brunt of the sacrifice will be done by the plebs. They should also be allowed to own mega yachts while we try to limit the effects of sea freight and cruise ships on the atmosphere.

Sorry, some things matter for what they symbolize more than their absolute effect. It's easy to say that the sum total of all carbon emissions by the wealthy are a drop in the bucket compared to the sum total of all the plebs, but if the plutocracy has no skin in the game then I won't reduce my consumption lifestyle for their benefit.

As a truck driver, just about every day is just about the same, so I lose track.

But I am sometimes reminded that it's Mother's day (the actual Sunday), when I'm in a Walmart on a Sunday morning (maybe I parked there the night before) and see a few men that need a shave, looking over the flowers, often with a kid or two tagging along.
Docs are typically salaried, aren’t they?
The best gifts operate at a sort of conversational / semantic level, where the item itself is a beautiful reminder of a person that you love. The very best gift deeply acknowledges both you and your likes/dislikes as a person, while also finding a special deep connection to the gift-giver. Much like "a picture is worth a thousand words," the perfect gift is a reminder of a thousand conversations and intimate moments.

If you are not searching for the semantics of the gift you received, then you may be missing out on the most important part of the gift.

...that said, I think the best gifts are still consumable so that they do not burden the gift receiver, and/or are handmade or cleverly devised by the giver.
Is it just accidentally?
The question is not whether the playing field is neutral or not through the actions of others, but whether "we" (tech) should undertake to change that playing field further. What right do "we" have to interfere in other peoples' lives from afar?
I didn't like getting cut flowers because they always died after just 3-4 days and it seemed like a waste. So I bought a big pack of 'cut flower food' packets, and now after changing out the water and adding a 9¢ packet every 5 days I can get a $6 bunch of flowers to last 2-3 weeks!

Crystal is a common brand; I doubt the brand matters. My pack was so big I wouldn't use it up for years so I split it up and gave most of it away. I haven't tried but presumably you can mix up a batch of sugar and bleach powder yourself, be careful handling chemicals etc.

>The issue is that there aren't any studies showing that safe doses are effective for treating this disease in humans.

Actually I'm seeing a few, but they suffer from the typical lack of statistical rigor that I've come to expect in medical studies and fall into the 'further studies are needed' bin.

As a side note, I'm always blown away by the poor quality of many medical papers. Publish or perish? Dunno.
The other half doesn't need to consume massively, just at the same rates they always were. When every step along your just in time supply chain is running at 50% capacity, the end output is even lower than 50% capacity.

Well, trans is not really a hard factor for attraction. Fully cis-passing trans women exist, even in intimate relationships, and I'd wager not all things that go into that even matter to most people.

Feel free to exclude based on physical criteria common in trans people, be it from masculine features, to larger frames to a set of genitals you're not attracted to, but "trans people" as category is way to broad. Because they can functionally be cis women. Unless you have a breeding fetish I guess.

Insisting on a separate category feels like people are holding on to bioessentialist feeling that trans women must be men, which would make a cis man gay. Pair that with toxic masculinity and you have one of the reasons for violence particularly against trans women.

(I have no personal stake at this, like many trans people I mostly date other trans people, less complicated and your partner has less of a hard time relating to you)
> Since it's based on Ubuntu 20.04.3

...ok, can someone explain why anyone should bother with this when Ubuntu 20.04.3 already exists? What does it do so much differently that makes it "fun, productive, and rock solid"? As far as I can tell from this marketing copy, it's just Ubuntu with specific set of preinstalled packages and maybe a special theme.

Honestly, there are so many of these "OS"s that I kinda want to just create thisosdoesnotexist.com that randomly selects packages to bundle in an Ubuntnu installer image and generates a name, logo, and marketing copy that calls it some combination of things like "beautiful", "blazing fast", and "powerful".
What would make a Next project "bloated"? If you're talking about bundle size, most of the Next stuff should stay server-side. And if you're talking about dependency complexity, one benefit of sweeping everything under a does-everything framework is that you don't have to manage the ongoing complexity of all the dependencies yourself (contrasted with create-react-app).

One of the main point of gift giving to me is the curation : trying to find something that you think the other one would like, showing that you know and understand the other person.

Giving money is basically completely giving up on the curation part, which makes the gift extremely impersonal. It's marginally better than a very bad gift, but to me it would not qualify as a good gift in any case
Can state law like this affect someone who doesn't live in that state? If there are bounties for people, can someone from Texas sue me as an Oregonian if my blog says something positive about abortion? Would I need to avoid traveling to Texas to avoid prosecution?
