People were not receiving typical unemployment benefits. When you look at the size of the benefit amounts from the perspective of a working class person or Jr Employee, it was a no brainer: Stay at home, make more money.

Check out the number of people who were still receiving unemployment when the federal bonus ran out and compare that to the number of open entry level positions. People were/are absolutely choosing to say home instead of finding work.

Who can blame them! It is the smarter decision.

The US Gov’t should have stepped this down much earlier. Now we have a decent sized group of young people who have spent the better part of two years expecting checks in their mailbox and no student loan payments. Reality is going to hit them hard.

I think our collective charity is running out. IMO, All this is going to result in is childish tantrums demanding “basic income” from able bodied people who are finally being forced to to accept the economic realities of their position.
I like the concept of a search engine that does not try to figure out what I should learn based on what I search..I know what I search for
I own a domain starting with 0x and I spent a lot of time talking to people I knew at Google to get that one fixed because my mail would not be delivered.
Seconded, having worked in this space I can assure everyone that there are multiple orders of magnitude more (attempted) spam SMS than legitimate SMS.
I don't understand this social platforms.

Covid stuff and fake news aside, I reported maybe 20 times obvious scam videos, or posts with extreme hatred and threats of violence against a group of people and similar stuff where 99.99999% of us would agree that it should be removed without question, and only once they did remove it. All the other times I get a message that they reviewed my complaint, that it does not go against their standards/tos/bla bla, and that I can block the video/post/channel for myself.

And taking into account how many random stuff they ban proactively, it just does not compute in my logic board in the brain.
also... the VPN seems to be the modern day antivirus of personal security.
FWIW, I got the reference. Maybe I'm old too?
One reason would be that Fortran has proven itself in the HPC area. Another one would be that it is a much simpler and easy to learn language than Rust (so can quickly train students, PhDs and so on to improve your simulation code, even when they have no programming background).

In most of the HPC codes I've worked with there are no complicated memory management, most of the things are arrays usually declared and allocated at launch time and that's it, no more memory management after that. So I'm not sure what rust would bring on the table, but maybe I'm just missing it.
I used to work at a company that, like everyone else, tracked PTO days. But I'm kind of a pain in the ass so I never bothered, plus, I worked ridiculously hard and came in at least one day every weekend and sometimes both Sat and Sun (plus most nights in general). Anyway, the head of HR asked me to start putting my PTO days in the system and I said sure, just let me know where I can submit the overtime slips. They got the point...it helped that I was good at my job.

I've always liked the "treat people like adults" policy with unlimited PTO and no formal tracking. If someone can't manage PTO and is abusive of it, my guess is they either might not be a great hire anyway, and if they are, what are you accomplishing by bothering them?
Why can't I select text on that page?

Why are conclusions regarding religious affiliation spoken in the same sentence as hostile and derogatory commentary ?

Everyone reading this - check your weaponized language at the door !
I use Google location sharing with my partner so we know where the other person is. Is owntracks a replacement for that by any chance?
Note: I'm far from an expert and I'm purely speculating here hoping for educated commenters to show me why I'm wrong.

The described approach allow, for example, for a process to choose how its children will be scheduled. I don't think google's proposal allows that.
I'm not making any assertion about DOJ corruption. I just thought they took this sort of behavior very seriously. (violating export controls, computer fraud and access device fraud)

I was discussing this case with a former DOJ attorney and he was saying that it's hard to know what exactly went into the calculation for penalties. Apparently cooperation with DOJ on future investigations can play a big role so idk what to think.
If you pay too little to an employee he will just go somewhere else. The magic of the market! That is why I am all for free market (real, free market) with minimum regulations. Because employers end up fighting for the workforce and it benefits the workers.

This depends on more variables, but the goal is to avoid barriers and regulations so that the wealth increases, since these break monopolies or de-facto monopolies (via absurd regulations).
There is the National Radio Quiet Zone [0] around the Green Bank Radio Observatory in West Virginia. But there isn't a giant Faraday Cage. That would be stupidly expensive to build. I met a few people who willingly moved to the area to get away from perceived RF radiation for health reasons. Transmitters aren't banned but they are highly regulated to run at limited power.

The same area is also popular with pot growers so you get an interesting mix of hippies, potheads, preppers, and people like your landlord.

Isaacsons new book Code Breakers about CRISPR has a couple positive chapters on Zaynor. (Isaacson interviewed Steve Jobs in his final months for the definitive biography.)
It appears to not be available in the united states.
Employers don't want to force payouts for the same reason that they don't want all the other sources of variability I listed. They budget for a payroll of X, not X + 7%.
I would wager the majority of the world's population consumes most of their video content on a mobile device.
Large scale ETL is not trivial.
Like someone else says, SELECTs make sense, INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE to manage infrastructure state, rather than using “proper” infrastructure as code, sounds like a path to hell to me.
There implication is it was paid which is NOT the law

"The FMLA allows eligible employees to take up to 12 work weeks of unpaid leave..."
Do you think that furthered the conversation, or are you trying to score points? Or perhaps my meaning was unclear?
For me it's a mix of curiosity, and trying to understand (or directly asking) what the person I'm talking to is getting at. For example, someone talks to you about something that happens at their job. Try to understand what they do in their job, their company, the people around them. Also try to understand their feeling. Are they looking angry? What made them angry? Why?
Not approving more than 10 days in 1.5 years given the circumstances is inexcusable.
Just finished last night a series of lectures on Thomas Jefferson[0] and I believe he felt the primary countermeasure to this problem was a limited federal government. In his time the federal government was dramatically smaller and the average person had nearly zero interaction with it during their lives. State and local governments can be moved away from, and this voting with your feet is an effective deterant to tyranny. The US long ago shrugged off the sort of republicanism Jefferson witnessed in his time and never really replaced it with anything else.

I see your point but isn't "eerlijk" simply "honesty"? I do get that there's a reputation when it comes to honesty and that it can be tarnished. But I don't think it maps 1 to 1 to honor.

I thought that honor could also be about that if one gets insulted that the insulted person would start a fight because his honor was insulted (apparently this happens in the south of the US a lot, according to psychological experiments [1]). I remember when this happened to me. Someone in SF said "fuck you" at point blank range with no reason. I simply ignored him, I didn't get all up in his face. But apparently, people from the south do that to defend their honor.

I actually agree, we use discord for our team and at the start i wasn’t happy about it. But after a while got used to it and now think its great. A lot of people in this thread saying its hard to find information in discord and disagreeing but ive never had any issues finding stuff with the search function.

I think as the web and search engines have deteriorated things like discord, telegram and twitter have become the places you need to navigate to find information. If you want to learn how a brand new framework with zero docs works you need to ctrl-f their discord and ask questions there, its by far the quickest and easiest way
This is what drives me nuts. Why do they keep messing with the UI? Nobody wants that! Even Apple and Google have both figured out that screwing around with UX every release is a recipe for making your customers HATE you.

What I, and probably non-power users want out of windows is for it to be faster and use less power. I'd honestly be happy to go back to a Win95 interface with the latest kernel.

Microsoft needs to fire the idiots that keep messing around with the UX. It's not broke, stop trying to fix it.
I had my service's pricing page say "$5 per year" and lots of people complained that $5 per month is too expensive. So I switched to "$1 per month (paid yearly)" and now get far fewer complaints for more than double the price. I consider it a tax on something.

I don’t think that’s the type of streaming video they optimized the IP on the SoC for. It’s clever, but not really useful. And who does it help exactly? Because the implication if you’re reduced to watching on a small screen is that you’re mobile, and on 5G. So the addicted user is now paying big $ for high speed data. Like giving a gambler a new line of credit.
I learned to program on a ZX81. What else is there to say?
I don't. Treating witheld/secret information as like spoilation would mean an assumption that whatever cannot be presented would be adverse to their side of the case. Which is to say they could basically say "we can't have this info in courts," and the courts would say "okay, we believe you, but because this information is effectively withheld, and that information would be crucial to the case, we will proceed with summary judgment favoring the other side in areas impacted by said evidence" or something similar.

I'm saying they can make the excuse, but there'd be cost pretty much.
> Avenatti was arrested in March, about 15 minutes after tweeting that he had scheduled a press conference to “disclose a major high school/college basketball scandal perpetrated by @Nike.”

That's one quick police response. Regardless of the merits of the case, I'm scared of the headline itself.
No, it's pretty accurate in my experience.
This is even more interesting in societies where there's little pressure to work, such as nordic welfare states. A lot of men I went to school with in Scandinavia decided they'd rather stay at home and play videogames than find a job.
We had the “timex Sinclair ZX 1000” a gadget loving aunt gave us. I think That’s the US version of that computer. I remember searching for the space bar… it was a button on the lower right of the membrane keyboard. Each key had like 4 things on it. Letters/ characters/symbols and basic commands. Entering basic programs was interesting but I learned a lot.

And 2k of Ram (we got the 16kb expansion). And some games on tape that were oddly good.

While i graduated to the schools apple computers a year after getting the machine, I’m still fond of it and because it’s really small, I still have it…( now where is the wall adapter). Quite a great machine from an era where the machines where more easy to understand.
I would say the line has to do with how informed/empowered the user is about the initial content, ongoing changes, and their ability to make their own modifications.

The original comment was about text messages, of which there is certainly not a competitive market (the Ma Bell T-1000 has reassembled itself into only 3 remaining pieces), users were surprised at the behavior, and there doesn't seem to be a straightforward way to opt out of stupid rules like blocking whole TLDs. So it's a far way from being able to say that such blocking represents the will of the user.
Psychedelics?

> The Bill of Rights cannot be.

Sure it can. The "Bill of Rights" is just a term for the first ten amendments. The 21st Amendment reads:

"Section 1. The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed."

Nothing in the Constitution forbids doing the same to the First, Second, or any other, should enough Americans agree on the point.

The 28th Amendment could read "The President shall be selected by the Prime Minister of Canada, and all redheads shall be put to death" and it'd not only be the law of the land once ratified, but there'd be no legal recourse except another amendment. Even more fun; include a "The Constitution may no longer be amended" as an additional provision.

(Of course, you have to get that through the amendment process, which is fairly obviously unlikely.)
I've always thought it was like a smoke shop. They say their products are for tobacco but everyone knows what its really for. Same with VPN, they say it's for all those things above but accessing geo-restricted content seems like the real reason.

> "What were you doing while it turned into your enemy?"

netflix and facebook apparently. my whole lifetime has been a slow-motion monopolization of power and money, and we've yet to resist/deter/reroute any of it meaningfully. power has been slowly turning against the populace, and we're not paying any attention to it. rather, we're debating distracting culture topics like abortion, racism, and even covid mandates.
I do agree that is the right way to do it.

Unfortunately, for a gaming organization it really brings to the fore the need for knowledge management, and discipline around what makes its way into the Forum, to a Sticky on the Forum, and from there, to the Wiki as Doctrine/Policy. Kind of comedy how much this needs to resemble RL organizations

I'll be carrying my charger with me. These numbers are great on paper, and sure they can reflect the overall trend of higher battery life, but are not examples of real world results.

I wouldn't be surprised if these results are on airplane mode with the brightness locked to the lowest setting and the volume off with no Bluetooth accessories. The title says "video streaming battery life" however the website actually says "video playback."

If I'm navigating with Apple Maps, which is using GPS (and other sensors depending on your transportation mode), along with a higher screen brightness so I can see in the daylight, I'm not going to get anywhere near 28 hours. And I wouldn't call that a _very_ "heavy" use case.
I don’t understand how you came to that compromise.
No protections occur when private citizens (or companies) give up information to police voluntarily, so the police aren't "searching" anything, in the legal sense of them needing probable cause to obtain information on you.

The only way to stop them from getting anything from Google is to not use Google (and Bing, Yahoo, etc). If Google can tie incognito searches to your name (eg. via IP association), they likely will turn it over in these data requests.
They highlighted dynamic refresh rate on screen. So screen can run at 30FPS (half of normal speed) if you are streaming 30FPS content (which many folks do). Or even 24FPS (which now won't need to be converted - nice!).
>Windows 11 feels like the culmination of a push to turn Windows into a walled garden service rather than a utilitarian operating system for generic computing devices

They cannot do this due to enterprise apps.

Maybe for the Home version.

So many companies are on older Win32 ERP software that do not have a webapp.
Also games. All Steam games etc would stop working.

They tried with Windows 10S version and nobody uses that.

But wow that pcgamer article shows the mess. Im on a i7 4790k PC w Windows 10 but with 11 I might not get updates??

I haven't actually had any Windows 10 issues... runs all the PC games ever made, all the Windows apps. I try and disable all the telemetry in UI, turn off animations, use Firefox to minimize the privacy issues. Takes a while but once its setup it just trucks on.
Mullvad is THE ONLY mainstream VPN that doesn't have seriously questionable credibility.

Not even Proton VPN is OK - sleuths have figured out that it's just a white-labeled version of NordVPN.

I am thankful that Mullvad is doubling down on their commitment to integrity, because there isn't an alternative.
I really feel like these system requirements came from top down. I work on SQL Server from home and the machine I use to connect to my work machine is not even close to meeting the Windows 11 requirements despite being a solid machine. It has a 2014 processor that still does great and the GPU is a 1080. The only parts that really need an upgrade in my opinion is the RAM (since it only has 16GB).
That! It started before XP so...
True. Unfortunately many large corporate websites through which you pay bills, order tickets, etc. are becoming infested with JS widgets and bulky, slow interfaces. These are hard to avoid.
For someone living in Russia, having a VPN is essential for browsing if you want uninterrupted access to all international websites at full speed.

And I think that number of countries with internet restrictions is growing, not shrinking.
Quite frankly, the ONLY new UX element I like out of windows post 95 is the search bar. Everything else has been just annoying.

That 95 interface is STILL there, buried under 1000 clicks through an unnavagable interface..
Me on an airplane! Spent maybe 12 hours on my phone last weekend flying across the country and back. Some planes still don’t have chargers so this will be awesome
Me neither. I might say "design sprint" to refer to the same thing.
If you pay cash and get it from out of town I don't see how they'd track you, unless the lumber store is doing facial recognition and uploading that data somewhere.

Maybe we need straw buyers for lumber?
Leaky abstractions in not well thought out solutions caused by exponential growth in computing is the issue. Rich Hickey's "Simple made easy" talks about this very thing.
Can you elaborate, by reiterating my argument back to me, and pointing out to me where I did what you allege, instead of evading with these vague, glib one-liners?

No of course not. You'll continue hiding behind these bad-faith quips.
It's not unrealistic to not carry a phone everywhere. Do you really need to be reachable while you're at the grocery store? Unless you're on call or a firefighter, there are very few cases where you must be reachable 24/7. Try it sometime, you'd be surprised.

Carrying a phone at all times is more a matter of social pressure than anything else. If you get into a real emergency situation, you can just ask someone if you can make a call from their phone -- after all, the world is full of people walking around with phones in their pocket.

Leaving your phone at home most of the time is a little inconvenient, but it's certainly not unrealistic. It's just that most of people are happy to trade privacy for convenience.
Honestly as a long-tenured employee, I'd be more happy with a modest, capped N weeks / year, with an explicit XX week sabbatical every M years.

It's difficult to get that "hard reset" you need every once in a while with a 1-2 week vacation [which to be fair, is already fairly privileged], and even if you have 4-5 weeks / year ["generous by US standards"] it can be hard to take more than a couple of weeks at once because you need to save a week or so for Christmas, a few days for your anniversary, a couple of days for you or your spouse's birthday, three days to close out Thanksgiving, etc etc.
My story is so similar to yours (and I’m sure many others).

Santa brought my house a Spectrum 48k Lo Profile when I was a kid with a cool KnightRider style keyboard.

Over the years I haven’t seen it talked about much if at all, so I always assumed it was a fairly niche model. After hearing about Sir Clive, I looked it up to find out how many sold and was surprised to learn that it never actually existed as a standalone device.

My dad must have bought the add-on kit, and an 81, and quietly upgraded it and just never told us kids. I’m gonna call him when I’m done typing this.

All I ever wanted to do on it was transcribe the programs from my magazines and try to learn how to make something of my own someday. I’m not sure what I’d be doing now if he had just brought home an Atari, but I almost certainly wouldn’t be in tech.

Cheers, Clive. I hope I see you down the road when the last of my cyan and red bars have run out.

Looks like that page just has an absurd amount of keywords. Those sometimes surface when there isn't any good results. Haven't found a foolproof detection method that doesn't unjustly punish innocent pages with large amounts of content.
If so, why believe "don't save location history" would mean anything either?
apologies, i must have misread that the first time around.

I use home assistant with their android app. It can/does use google location services, however I believe you can also set it to use gps.
> After awhile, generally the person realizes they’ve spent a lot of time talking about themselves and begin to ask you questions about yourself

From my experience, this isn't really true. It's easy to see people for a long time and often, and never really have them ask anything about yourselves. Which means people asking about me is a powerful filter, which has its advantages.
>I have turned off all Windows Updates

You mean you have turned off automatic updates?

Or you NEVER run Windows updates? - do not do this. Even on an airgapped machine. Insanity.
If you're brought up from an early age that the basis of your morals and values require pure 'faith', then it stands to reason that you will always be insecure about your ability to reason for yourself. As a result you will look to elders in your community for guidance, be that an evangelical preacher or the pope, rather than making the decision for yourself using your own faculties.
I agree, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. Windows is legitimately confusing for noobs, so I don't see a problem with making the noob learning curve less steep as long as all the "real" functionality that a power user, dev, or admin would regularly use is left alone on the same paths, with the same UX or syntax.
