> Who will be the Foxconn of cars?

Again this is also done to death. There’s no new ground to be broken here.

Car manufacturers have had their own internal markets in parts and manufacturing for years.

If anything Apple was copying the motor industry with phones.

How did Australians become like this? In my imagination, my American ancestors were quite similar to yours. And yet...
I leave a picture of my setup that I previously posted in Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/o16nfa/pretty_please...

This is a BOOX Note Air, with Termux + Mosh + TMUX and my editor of choice Emacs DOOM.

I'm pretty happy of this setup.
I went in holiday and I manage to use my editor to do some coding.

The only side effect is that it requires internet for extra processing power, although you could still run all locally depending on your requirements.
Same for me. I'd like to see many more small countries and city states. Or at least people taking federalism and subsidiarity serious. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsidiarity

That's because people seem to be much more reasonable when voting with their feet and wallets, then when voting at the polling booth. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Myth_of_the_Rational_Voter for some background.)

Eg in a US context, there's no reason at all why they need to have a federal minimum wage as far as I can tell.

Different people have different opinions on how minimum wage works, if at all, but from what I can tell minimum wage is an issue that can be done at state or even municipality level only. There's no need to have federal uniformity here.
Seems similar to my usual workflow with Firefox's Tree Style Tabs extension: using a parent tab (usually pinned) as a kind of stand-in for a category, then putting child tabs into those category branches.

Obviously Bonsai seems to do this a lot slicker. If it was FOSS and available outside of macOS I'd definitely consider trying this out.
This sounds very much like multi-level marketing.

I don't have 100 friends. (I mean real friends, not Facebook connections labelled 'friend's.)

Assuming they could also recruit their friends, we would compete for the same referral base, lowering the available pool, making it harder for me.

I don't see why my friends would want to pay an extra $4 to use a service when local grocery stores are already offering delivery (eg, Aldi via Instacart - https://www.aldi.us/en/pickup-delivery/grocery-delivery/ ).

I see no reason to believe my friends won't use existing services like Instacart with a much longer track record.

The fact that you're saying "100 referrals might seem hard to reach", and offering marketing advice, means it's not easy, and likely means it's cheaper for you to outsource your sales force than it is to hire sales staff.

Retail-level sales staff earn less per hour then I do as a programmer, so why would I do this?
I respect both the legality and the morality of it.

First, he did comply with all applicable law. No laws were broken.

Second, he did not break the spirit of the law. The law clearly allows gambling from the Isle of Man.

Third, he did not conflate the law with morality. What is the morality of a 400,000 GBP 'licensing' fee? Laws around licensing are weird. Another poster mentioned that pouring wine than liquor into a glass is illegal, but liquor then wine is fine. Not much moral sense in that reg.

You can raise an issue and submit a patch or fork the repo if you think it should work according to your personal preference.
It goes off once or twice a day, and you have 15 minutes to check in once it does. If you miss one, it'll try again a bit later. If you miss the retry, the police visit to check you're home.

It's not checking every 15 minutes!
One of the biggest annoyances for me is when people enter some subculture, then demand the subculture to change to acommodate them rather than them changing to acommodate the subculture.

I had it happen a few times that it changed to something unrecognizable to me and thus I left it for a new one.

So at this point, I feel like gatekeeping, (ofc not based on race gender or such things, but rather specifics to the subculture) has become mandatory, even at the cost of keeping a, possibly sizeable, portion of genuinly interested people out.
What does competently actually mean though?
With autonomous automobiles subscriptions may be inevitable. They're more expensive, need updates and are better operated as a fleet. And if they depress the number of units sold that may drive prices up further thus making subscription more affordable for most.

But until that happens you can choose to just not use the premium options.
Rather have the country focus on a mass vaccination drive than trying to do a full China style lockdown.

In hindsight the unlimited money spent on healthcare and a collective willingness to take the corona pill works better than whatever Australia is trying to do.

Become like what? Do you have an argument against quarantine? Would tens of thousands of deaths been better than asking travellers to check in for a couple of weeks on arrival, during a pandemic?

I’m really not sure what point you’re trying to make.

I'm British by the way. The UK also has guarded quarantine centres in hotels for people coming in from what it considers “red zones”

Apple is Tesla. The rest of the industry is held back by the lack of any decent OS, and Apple has declined because they just don’t have any vigorous competition.

I see what you mean. In that case someone just has to report it to their abuse department. Eventually someone will locate the offensive image and trace it back to imgur. Even if they can't immediately see it, they can see the abuse reports and investigate.

It's a hard life running an image uploading service. You have to wonder how much they're being payed in ad revenue.
If the former has equivalent performance (as in output quality) etc., then the former obviously.

If the former doesn't exist (at a comparable quality), then the latter is better than the nothing.

Quarantine for what? That's what you do with sick people. Whatever is going on in Australia has long ago left the realm of sane quarantine procedure. It will be 2022 soon, and the Australians are trying to prevent interstate spread of COVID-19. It's madness.

Responding to your edit: still madness
This is pretty muddled up.

Let's look at it like this: a block on the blockchain has a maximum size. A transaction has a minimum size. So, each block contains a maximum number of transactions. Miners must waste a certain amount of energy hashing a block to ensure the security of the network (through the incentive mechanisms described above).

So, we can compute a practical energy/block, which translates to an energy/typical transaction.

Now, the block size is a kind of free parameter - the blockchain guarantees wouldn't be significantly different with 1GB blocks instead of 1MB. And that, in turn, would reduce the energy cost per transaction dramatically, and allow the network to process more transactions/second.

Similarly, if there were fewer people putting fewer resources into mining bitcoin, the energy cost/block could go down. This would affect the security of the network though, as it also brings down the cost of a 51% attack.

But miners are opposed to such changes, which have been proposed before. So, in practice, the bitcoin network as it is today has a huge energy cost/mined transaction.

Again, if you don't believe this, you should ask yourself what stops the bitcoin blockchain from processing 1 billion transactions/second instead of the current pitiful ~2 hundred transactions.
@kapep don't know why I can't respond directly..

>>> where the random number is _used_

This was my main concern, and it was exactly what I needed a lawyer to sign off on before I set up a rig there. I was told that the gambling laws applied to where the chance took place, not where the money is distributed... after all, the whole thing with the IoM and the reason it's allowed to be a tax haven is that lots of people need to move money around without a lot of questions. But they defined gambling in this specific way and if only the money moved but the dice roll didn't take place on their shores, then it wasn't gambling under their jurisdiction. What you bring up was the conversation I had before locating there.
Commoditised, you might say.
So MLM and standard referral marketing? With limitation that money can only be used with you? Also isn't 1% pretty weak?

The only reason why so many companies are openly in support of LGBTQ+ is that right now it costs them almost nothing and effortlessly paints the illusion of a human face onto their public image.

I don't expect that to last. There are many influential countries that are increasingly intolerant of LGBTQ+ at a government level. If one of them just so much as mumbles something about "moral values", expect all of these over-eager LGBTQ-supporting companies to quietly delete all references that they ever supported this.
Did you ever consider mentoring the person? Seems better than back-stabbing. The worse part is you're ok with it!
If everyone uses a different unit then it may not appear to be a lot at all. Nobody is measuring office space in football fields so how am I supposed to know how a football field sized manufacturing plant compares to an office building?
Exactly. My only gripe with modern machines is how narrow their interface is, I wish they exposed more of their internals.

e.g., I'm too young to remember the Commodore computers, but it's my understanding that you could change the display colors and sprites by poking a memory address. I'm not advocating for specifically that, modern computers are connected to the Internet and it would be a security disaster, but that kind of interaction with the machine is something that's missing.

Stern’s Pinball Machines Are Getting Gaming Console Features
That’s what worked for me (as an employee). I’m a high school dropout, with a GED, and some tech school training (from a now-defunct certificate mill). Not exactly a Stanford Ph.D.

When that’s your pedigree, no one gives you a break, so you have to make your own, and prove yourself at every step. Sort of “A Boy Named Sue” thing. It either makes you, or breaks you.

Kept me humble, hungry, and a team player. Yeah, I got taken advantage of, but I also found that people would give me incredible opportunity, as I was a lot cheaper than an architect. My very first engineering project was complete hardware and firmware design of a microwave switching device[0]. Almost no one gets that kind of opportunity. Most folks have to wait years before being trusted with much lower levels of responsibility (I had almost no supervision or guidance, during the project).

Did I mention that this was my very first engineering project, ever? The only reason I got it, was because I was given the rather humble task of assembling an ATE system, and I was getting tired of constantly stopping the test to rewire the units. My boss got sick of me bitching, and said “Why don’t you do something about it?”

So I did. Since he told me to do it, he couldn’t very well prevent me from following through.

That’s been the story of my life. People toss me difficult problems, to shut me up, and I solve them.

This has not always won me friends. I’ve learned that, quite often, people don’t actually want their problems solved, and get quite upset, when you solve them; even when they asked you to.

In the aggregate, it has worked out well. I’ve retired, ten years early (not by choice -thanks, ageism!).

If you were building an interface to extract the most value from Reddit-like sites but reduce the chance of addiction what would it look like?

Less pictures, less color, less NSFW, time delays on content, exclude any subreddit that grows beyond a certain size, actively avoid things that are engaging lots of people etc.

There's the ethical qualm that your profiting from other people's addiction to surface your minor addiction, similar to someone who dabbles in hard drugs but is supporting the ecosystem for people using it as an escape from their life and getting trapped in it.
From the demos I've seen of other e-ink tablet devices like the Max Lumi, it seems like it can handle handwriting pretty smoothly [0].

So it could probably handle typical CLI use too, but higher refresh rates would of course mean higher battery usage. I think e-ink displays can handle local refresh zones, so it doesn't necessarily mean that it would have to refresh the whole screen.

However, without pagination, a lot of our computer usage includes scrolling, and I would imagine that's more power intensive, and can maybe hit the refresh rate limits of e-ink displays. I guess that would be akin to a lot of phones now letting you pick a fixed or variable refresh rate depending on the experience and battery life you want to get out of the device.

You're not the only one. Reading the news, I feel like a stranger in my own country. Australians don't share the values I thought we did.

Right, OP is saying that on a fundamental level, there isn't a difference (between LEND and a savings account), except that Coinbase is not a federally regulated FDIC insured bank.

Metaphorically, Coinbase just went to the police department and explained in great detail their intention to sell hard liquor without a liquor license. Under sworn testimony, they explained... 'you see, we are just providing the same product as licensed liquor stores, so it's all good'.

Of topic, but reading the headline and the intro about Alvy Ray Smith I was half convinced this was going to be a satirical article about how he invented raytracing and that it is actually named after him; in similar vein as the “Running was invented in 1784 by Thomas Running when he tried to walk twice the same time” meme [0]

How many will die from the economic fallout and how who will pay for this insane government debt accumulated over the last 2 years. The kids, thats who, the kids who don't get a vaccine and get the privilege of paying the bill for us to sit at home.

What happens to a country that stops people working and starts living on the government credit card? It's all great now when everything is paid in debt. What happens to health, education and infrastructure? What happens to peoples wellbeing and prosperity in the future? Australia's health care system was already at breaking point pre covid. Education was already at breaking point pre covid. They bullshit us that the numbers are fine, and being the fools we are we believe them even though it makes no logical sense. How will people work and pay tax when there are no jobs? How many will die you think?

Covid is not the only thing that can kill you. Poverty has killed infinitely more.
I'm not aware of any Western European political dissidents who have had bank accounts cancelled, but it wouldn't surprise me if a fascist/racist like Tommy Robinson violated some hate speech law and had bank accounts he was receiving donations to cancelled.

It's very common for Venezuelan, Iranian and Cuban citizens to be targeted in this way, however. Even those with dual nationality.

The fundamental problem is that bank accounts are not considered a human right. As we become increasingly cashless this becomes more and more of a problem.

I live in Victoria. We have certainly given up all of our freedom. Our Premier has suspended parliament and now rules by decree. Citing fabled 'health advice', which is never made public nor provided when queried, to justify anything he does. That's why we have a 9PM curfew that has done nothing to stem the spread, punitive 'alchohol must be drunk through a mask' rules and playground closures. Those were not legitimate public health measures, but punishments for Victorians risking his re-election strategy of 'beating the virus' after spending the weekend outside in the sunshine.

Police harass citizens for the crime of taking a rest on a park bench while on their 1 hour of allowed outside time per day. I have friends who have been unable to leave the country to see dying parents. I have had friends unable to travel interstate to see their dying parents. My own grandmother died in our lockdown so the last 12 months of her life were spent locked in her own home.

This is not a successful strategy, and anybody reading Australia's low deaths and case numbers need to realise this. We have myopic politicians who are suffering from an obsession with a particular metric, neglecting everything else enabled by a population of unthinking zealots who genuinely believe a single death is a policy failure.

Locking down this severely is neither clever nor demonstrates a particularly high level of consideration. It is the most blunt and basic response to the virus and it's only possible in a country of docile livestock who are content to cede every right if the person they're ceding it to promises it will make them safer from a virus, or in the case of these new national 'security' measures pedophiles or terrorists.
Well, I hope you won't be regretting it soon when you find out it's not temporary.
Questions about a Component
This isn't a partisan thing, the liberal/authoritarian axis is independent from the collectivist/individualist axis. I'm against authoritarianism full stop, I don't care about the other policies sold alongside authoritarianism. Trying to tar me as right-wing for being anti-authoritarian is ignorant at best and deliberately misleading at worst.

Zero covid is a fool's errand unless you want to be a North Korea-style hermit kingdom shut off from the rest of the world. It is at best a policy that buys time to get people vaccinated, but attempting to carry it out indefinitely is nothing more than an iron fist of tyranny concealed in a velvet glove of safety. The way out of this is vaccination against covid and society coming to terms with the objective fact humanity will never be rid of this virus. We will be forced to live with the virus one way or another, it's just a matter of how much collateral damage zero covid zealots do to society on the way there.

Put it this way, if some tinpot dictatorship in the developing world was preventing dual nationals from leaving they would be sanctioned to Hell and back in a month.
