This is hyperbole. Obviously.

There somewhere in my house iPhone SE (the old one, and the last iPhone that I bought) which is used for emergency banking with mobile apps and emergency phone calls. When outside I use regular flip-phone. Never used Siri. Never used iCloud, deleted Dropbox in 2012 and moved to multiple Synology NAS stations.

Everything that I have to do is channeled trough desktops or laptop computers. I run Little Snitch (since v.2) on macs and Open Snitch on my Linux boxes. If I want to take casual photo - Sony RX100 is handy. If I want more serious stuff - LeicaM240/Summilux is enough for me.

My cars have Garmins for navigation and paper maps for backup:) There is no internet connection without VPN.

Never used "subscription" based entertainment and never will. Never bought into Bluetooth, Noise canceling, Shitty design headphone thing. My first iPad Pro 12 WIFI is with broken WIFI and runs only Procreate and Filebrowser app, soon to be abandoned for Cintiq/Krita combination.

I left the smartphone / social media sickness long time ago. As a result I found immense reserve of mental and creative energy, normal sleep and lack of depression.

Since this "fabulous" move from the geniuses at Apple Glass Doughnut, I have payed overtime to my developers to remove macOS from production and install ARCH/Manjaro over Apple hardware (happily no T1s in my company).

The designers Apple machines are running Catalina and are semi air-gaped. Writing this on an old MacBook Air with Pop!_OS on it.

Luckily I invested in multi-platform software and in the future even designers will run Linuxes with Windows 10 VMs (properly sand-boxed).

Yeah, there's absolutely no "inspection" whatsoever in California, other than emissions testing.

Of course, if you're building a kit car or rebuilding a salvaged car or any number of edge cases, BAR has to certify the vehicle, but for a "normal" car you can get away with almost anything. Bald tires, no seatbelts, windshield wipers falling off, glass smashed up all to hell, wheel bearing so shot it looks like you're driving a paint shaker.

Granted, it's illegal and you could get a ticket for it, but you'll see plenty of smashed up cars with no headlights or bumpers or whatever driving around on the roads in CA. It's just a matter of not running across a police officer who feels like spending the time to ticket you for blatantly illegal (lack of) equipment.
> It doesn't matter what your employer would do

"They" was referring to the bank, not the employer.

> it matters that you're legally entitled to it and a court would enforce it and have it paid to you.

They wouldn't do it in the same situation as theft I think, though, which is kind of my point. Like if a coworker who joined the week after you got paid from the funds that should've gone to you the week before, and they were already aware of the practice, they would not be receiving "stolen goods" and I'm pretty sure a court would not say you'd be entitled to claw it back from the other employee because the funds somehow actually belonged to you. (Because they didn't; they were merely owed a.k.a. promised-that-they-would-someday-belong to you.)

If it helps, I see this as somewhat (not entirely) similar to the difference between stocks and stock options. Just because you have the option to get some stocks, that doesn't mean you own the stocks.

I'm the "other" kind of brown: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1123070/police-shootings...

The seemingly higher rate for hispanics disappears when you adjust for the fact that the median hispanic is 28 and the median white person is 42. (The odds of being shot by the police drop sharply after 35.)

Similarly, Latino incarceration rates have dropped below white incarceration rates: https://www.slowboring.com/p/hispanic-prison

> The dwindling of Hispanic-white disparities is even more remarkable in light of criminal behavior being so heavily concentrated in adolescence and young adulthood,. The median age for Hispanics is 29.8 years versus 43.7 for whites, meaning even in a system free of prejudice that punished solely on the basis of crimes committed, we would expect criminal justice disparities between the populations to be growing, not shrinking.

"Systemic racism" targeted generally at non-white people isn't feature of American society. It's much narrower than that: persistent disparities for Black and indigenous people.

The ones that have been made will remain. And besides that the fuel distribution network will at some point likely diminish to the point that driving one of these will not just be un-economical, it will be impossible. It's a matter of time before there will be environmental zones in between wherever you are and wherever you want to go that make it impossible to use an ICE.

So quite likely, ban or not, the ICE will die out completely. I've re-built a 24 year old car with an ICE and I fully expect it to be my last car, at 56 I see no point in buying something new and if and when I can't/won't drive it we'll have a nice paperweight.
I don't know about Italy, but in the US, driving an illegal car can end up with it getting sent to an impound lot and then a crusher, and you getting sent to prison.

Additionally when companies cut their orders other companies some fabs and other pipeline facilities were shutdown for retooling.

Most of the companies that cut their orders were auto and industrials that projected a prolonged downturn and didn't want to carry the inventory on their books. They predominantly use the components manufactured on less advanced process nodes.

Thus when demand for new process nodes was increasing and old ones were decreasing at the peak of the pandemic it made sense for pipelines to retool to meet that demand instead.

On top of that US-China tensions means SMIC and Hua Hong Semi are now banned for many US producers which is further constraining supply. Also creating asymmetry where China is experiencing lesser a supply crunch. However there is also trouble brewing there due to Trump forcing the Dutch to block export of ASMLs new EUV lithography tech to China.
This means they aren't able to start building fabs w/EUV to fill the coming supply gap there either but instead are now having to pour billions into their own lithography progam. Long term this will be good for the market (but very bad for ASML most likely) but short term its not great.
It's not always true that you "just have to give it back"; repeat offenders do get taken to the woodshed sometimes.

But, when employers and employees steal from each other, the fact that one is a criminal matter and the other a civil matter says a great deal about the law is and what purpose it was designed to serve.

I think your point about browser companies controlling blocklists is valid, particularly in the current landscape.

I’m all for data privacy and freedom of speech, but i also think we need to place revocable trust in other parties to curate our data in a way that improves signal to noise ratios while not impeding on actual freedoms (lest we revoke our trust).

But also browsers should just disable auto play videos they’re damn offensive.

I appreciated antirez's categorization:

During my research I identified nine types of comments:

- * Function comments
- * Design comments
- * Why comments
- * Teacher comments
- * Checklist comments
- * Guide comments
- * Trivial comments
- * Debt comments
- * Backup comments

"

I tend to write 'debate comments' of the software that I write for my own business (sole proprietor). I think they fit the 'why' category above.

I often doubt my own decision making process, so I tend to write it out in comments, so that I can I can see reasoning.

My general challenge with comments is of 'maintanence'.
The tools to maintain comments, cross link them across diagrams or other hand-written documents -- are hard to find.

So am gradually switching to my own directive that 'all documents about implementation, the API and their usage, are to be generated from my comments'.

Again, not a lot of tools that I found in this area, but at least it is possible to write my own tools (using IDE APIs) in this area.

I had a big zip file of all my HPAVC files in one place from the early nineties.

Charitably: 3) (Some) minorities are not achieving the same scores in math and science, therefore math and science are racist and must be abolished.

Something to consider: as the 'abolish math and science' movement grows in influence, especially in public schools, students of lower means are likely to fall further behind their more affluent peers, whose parents afford private schooling and tutoring.

It is in the strategic interest of this country, both from an internal cohesion POV and from an international competitiveness POV, to encourage excellence in STEM, across race and class lines. Consider that the voices ready to raise 'racism' at every slight opportunity are actually making it harder to achieve this goal.

One thing a lot of the comments here are missing is that EVs are already very close to matching the performance of ICE supercars. The Tesla Model S Plaid has the fastest quarter mile time for a mass production car, and it's not a sports car, it's a family car. Just wait until Ferrari or Lamborghini bring out a real supercar EV. Nobody will want to buy ICE after that...

How do you sell your business when you ARE the business
I wrote a production system for a small winery 12 years ago which was well received and the software has been evolving to cover changes in the industry, however the winery has since grown to be the biggest in the country, and last month they have just bought another company with 3 more wineries and want to install the software in these too.

Despite my insistence they build their own development team or make succession plans they have tested the market rejected all other options and done neither. I am a few years off retirement and find myself in a dilemma that I don't need the money but can no longer work the crazy hours this sometimes needs, also due to the complexity of the system I dont have time to hire/manage other staff, but I also cant let the winery down!

So I was thinking of selling/partnering up with a bigger company but how do you sell your business when you are the business ?

Austin has dozens of elected officials below the state level. Voting is never futile. Vote even if you don't think you'll win because that's what motivates other people to vote, and it's the only thing you can do to delay having to actually fight an authoritarian regime.
For WoW, at a very high level, instancing and sharding. Players are spread across realms.

The zones are so large that by nature players will be spread out leading to less interactions. Raids are instanced to just your party. In areas with natural congestion (such as auction houses), things could lag at times.

While combat and movement is realtime, it's mostly waiting for timers, so the latency and bandwidth requirements are reduced compared to a first person shooter for example.

I like inter-city travel via train more than flying or driving, but even in the Northeast Corridor, which is the most well-serviced rail area in the US and certainly has the demographic density, it's not always worth it in practice.

Boston to Providence is 45 minutes, faster than driving, very happy to take that trip. (For those who don't know, Providence traffic is more ridiculous than Boston traffic, so even my more car-oriented friends tend to like this trip via train)

Boston to NYC is about 3 and a half hours, with the convenient location of Penn Station, the lack of airplane+airport bullshit, it's not bad. I like it more than flying, plus you can just buy a ticket and travel on a whim.

But Boston to DC is 7 hours assuming everything goes smoothly, and much longer if it doesn't. I can't justify the DC trip by train, it's only a 90 minute flight.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_Corridor

Wikipedia says "Concepts for improvements to achieve "true" high-speed rail on the corridor, which have been estimated by Amtrak to cost $151 billion, envision cutting travel times roughly in half, with trips between New York and Washington that would take 94 minutes."

But I remember something similar being on the Wikipedia page when I was in college, and I graduated a decade ago. We really have no excuse to not have spent that money on our own infrastructure. We could have Boston to DC in 3 hours. Suddenly the train would be a lot more viable for a lot of people.

Some use this to be cynical of the Civil Rights movement.

Which is a weird critique, when the reason they had to be careful about their image was because of the general white supremacist and racist ideology of the time.

For example, American prisons are generally awful places where we mostly fail to provide prisoners the basic human rights we are required to provide. We even joke about prison rape as being appropriate punishment, despite it being clearly a cruel and unusual punishment. But, since prisoners are often not exactly sympathetic to the majority of the population, prison reform is an uphill battle.
Instead of mandating particular technologies, a better solution would be to just impose a gradually escalating carbon tax and let the free market sort things out. If gasoline costs €20/l then consumption will be so low as to make the environmental impact minimal.
> some folks might argue that using scapegoats can help society move on, while others might object [...]

Right, but in this particular instance what actually happened is that we just moved on by building consensus around a new paradigm. No one uses the word anymore, and nothing awful happened.

Therefore I argue that similar hand wringing about gender pronouns is going to turn out equally bland. It's fine. Just relax. Society isn't falling apart, you're just being socially awkward. And in fifty years everyone will think the antiwoke conservatives were just being ridiculous.

That article was back in April. Then, in August, "Japan’s largest car maker said Thursday it was cutting production in the country by 40% in September because of a shortage of semiconductors. The company declined to say whether it would shut down plants outside of Japan."

Most of automotive does not need AMSL 10nm and below fabs. They need robust 200nm to 300nm chips.

This may yield car redesigns with less touchscreen dependence, simpler electronics in the essential systems, and an "infotainment" system that's less integrated with the vehicle and can be added or replaced later.
Already, some new cars have shipped with a blank plate in place of the entertainment system.

There's a mindset that electric cars have to be more complicated. This is strange, because managing the batteries and motors is far simpler than managing an IC engine.

>You most definitely do “own” the funds you’ve earned even if your employer has not yet paid them out to you.

You don't. You own a IOU until it hits your bank account. The difference is subtle, but you can see it manifest during bankruptcy. Employee salaries are pretty high on the list in terms of "which creditors get paid first", but AFAIK they're subordinate to secured debt. That means it's definitely possible for you to lose the money you "owned", which does not fit with the common definition of "own". For one, you don't have exclusive control of it.

The problem is if Tesla and Porsche can rack up noticeably better acceleration and lap times with electric, the masses will no longer equate those nuances with speed and buy the faster car. Much like a roaring Harley or the rumble of a sixties muscle car V8 is cool and all but no longer associated with performance like it once was.

I do see the rich exception causing problems but I also think electric will out perform in the end and the problem is self solving...
