I don't want all the different ports at once, but I definitely use more than 4 in total. My current laptop the following (and I'd love to have more):

- 2 USB-C (1 of which is used for charging, I'll probably have reason to use the other at some point with increasing USB-C adoption)

- 2 USB-A (1 for a wireless mouse, 1 frequently used for flash drives and whatnot)

- SD (used occasionally - cameras and with an adapter for micro SD in phones)

- RJ-45 (used occasionally, probably more often soon)

- HDMI (used somewhat regularly)

- Headphone jack (also built into the Framework)

So with the Framework I'd be missing out on 3 ports. I could survive with that, but it'd be pretty sub-optimal. Thankfully I shouldn't be in the market for a new laptop for 5+ years, so hopefully Framework will have more options by then.
Yes, but it's also a form of "crowd sourced insider trading" around a person who won't be indicted, as they aren't part of the scheme... so far as I can tell. It's a loophole because no law has been written about it, as of yet.
There are solutions besides straight up dumping the brine. Technology is evolving to handle this as desalination becomes more common. Of course the easiest thing is dumping it so some regulation may be required.
Please don't pick the most irritating detail in an article and then copy it into the thread to complain about it. This leads to significantly lower-quality discussion, especially when the detail is off topic. Instead, you should pick the most interesting aspect, or the one that generates the most interesting (i.e. least predictable) reaction in you; and of course it's always ok not to post.

One thing we're working on learning as a community is how to respond to the interesting parts of an article or situation and leave superficial provocations alone. Not easy, but important for curious conversation.

Went to Paris and dined at a number of Michelin-starred places, including Le Cinq. The food was fine, but... I didn't get it! I think there is a culinary language that I understand as little as a typical Michelin-starred chef would be able to evaluate a tightly-written C program. On the other hand I was lucky enough to dine at Poppy Seattle every year of its existence and felt their completely original approach to thalis would have absolutely merited three stars. Poppy was well known to be one of the best restaurants in town, but I still wonder how I would have reacted if I understand the language better.

To calibrate, on a scale of 1-10 I would rate Cheesecake Factory and Starbucks food at a 3, Tim Horton and McDonald's at 4, and Olive Garden at 6. I'd put LeCinq at 8 and Poppy at 10.

My wife has more sophisticated taste. She though 3 stars for LeCinq made sense. I have double-blind tested her a number of times and her taste is unerring, including one trial where she correctly guessed Osetra, Beluga, and Sevruga caviar back when they were all legal, and 4 different kinds of Wagyu beef at a steakhouse.

It is all bad. There is no redeeming quality about Facebook whatsoever. They are a netto negative impact on the world.

The similarity towards religion in that regard doesn't go unnoticed, although I do admit that this is really out-of-scope.

The benefit that Facebook brings to its users does not offset the significant harm it does to others.

Facebook kills.

And that boys-will-be-boys argument is really telling about your own ethics/morality. Because I would not even dream about building a site, to which I would upload pictures of women in my University, to let other men rate them.

That is so profoundly unethical, if you don't understand that, you have a lot to learn about morality and ethics.

That's a good question. I know my comment sounds defeatist. Another commenter suggested requiring trades be announced in advance. Sometimes blind-trusts are used, but there's not much to show they make a difference. Opening up hearings and Congressional communications helps. Honestly it's a tough problem.

There's a community on Reddit that studies Berkshire's purchases (investments made by Buffett/Weschler/Combs) and tries to follow, purchasing only below what Berkshire paid:

https://old.reddit.com/r/brkb/

For example, in 2020 and early 2021 Berkshire paid $59 for Verizon, buying $9 billion worth (a huge Buffett/Weschler telecom investment). Verizon now trades at about $54, so this community is buying.

It’s not clear to me if Twitter has handled it better, or if they had a self selected audience that made their techniques more effective. I don’t see why attempting to flag misinformation would work on Twitter and fail on FB for reasons other than the people who use it.

So I’m currently on Intel Macs and looking to move to an M1 imminently (holding out to see what MacBook announcements come this autumn).

What are the biggest issues you’ve seen so far from a dev perspective?

The Framework laptop has seriously got me considering moving away from macOS to Linux as a daily dev machine and keeping my Macs for home use (and music production for which I don’t want to leave Logic Pro).

But by the same token I’d love the crazy battery life, no fan noise and raw speed of an M1 for my main coding machine….

Circle is on a usage based model, so the billing happens on a per job basis, and is based on minutes and compute type. Whether that translates into big returns or not depends on what you think the future of CI/CD looks like.
While we're dreaming… serving officials (and anyone they can't be compelled to testify against) should have to, before taking office:

1. Disclose their income and assets, and keep doing so each year while in office
2a. Put all their liquid assets* into a blind trust, or better yet
2b. Put all their liquid assets* into an index that tracks our economy (not just The Market)

* Minus reasonable living expenses—we wouldn't want them to go hungry, now would we?

Employees of Google who hold ranks less than Director or Principal Engineer should quit if they don't like it. If you're a director or PE you should communicate your opinion to Thomas Kurian directly.

I personally influenced Google's direction in a major business area while only a lowly senior SWE. It's an area that leaders in google then messed up very badly (dammit, jeff, you had ONE JOB).

I quit recently, citing a number of things that I wasn't OK with, one of which is that I felt that the company gave far too much credence to a small group of of noisy people in ways that are hurting the company.

BTW, I, like most long termers, are granted Google stock and some tiny amount of voting shares and some employees have exercised this right https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/06/google-employees-presenting-...

BTW I'd like to take this opportunity to show a person I disagree with completely, but respect immensely because she's one of the most impactful activists I've ever seen: https://onezero.medium.com/google-workers-lost-a-leader-but-... She helped lead the drive to remove the Real Names requirement from Google+ by directly convincing the principal engineer who ran the real names mapreduce to stop doing it.

Endlessly re-learning JavaScript frameworks and CSS gets very boring after awhile.
Do they have to disclose when they bought it, regardless of when they publish it in those 45 days? Because that would make for an incredibly interesting backwards-calculated index fund. Probably someone has already done this but I wouldn't know what to search for.
I was reading some forums on their website a little while ago and they said that seemed unlikely with a decent amount of space being used by the mounting mechanism and whatnot. It would be nice, though.
Clever and scary. But is that all? No facial recognition? What happens if you just wear a Nixon mask or a horse head?
Facebook doesn't present itself as a media company to its users though. It presents itself as a social platform allowing people to communicate, and the expectation from the user is that you will see content that is popular and/or being shared by your friends without any editorial control/oversight such as downranking "inconvenient" truths.

It's also not done transparently, it would be one thing if FB turned around and outright said "this is inconvenient to our business, so we won't allow you to post it", but in this case they silently downrank the content behind the scenes.
Your employment decisions are significant as it pertains to your behavior and actions.

It's very reasonable to judge someone by who they choose to work for, specifically if there are repeating negative patterns.

If someone builds a career out of violating human rights, working on egregiously anti-privacy tech at several companies, there's a negative pattern there. It provides substantial insight into who they are and what immoral things they're willing to do to other people for the right price.
I can't imagine how we could prevent a duly elected representative of a congressional district from being sworn in if they refuse to sell their stock portfolio. It would amount to disenfranchisement.

Once a regulatory agency makes a decision, it should be final, though. Unless they find that someone was lying or withholding information in the process.
I would argue the opposite. Yes, those "space demanding" hobbies are hard to get into. But there's so many other hobbies and interests people have, and having a few million people packed really close really reduces the effort required to have a niche group of hobbyists or find something niche you care about.

In other words. It's much easier to find likeminded people closeby in dense, populated cities.
It's nothing traditionally groundbreaking, either. Most of them are buying blue-chip tech stocks. Anyone mildly paying attention has known how well FANGs have done in the past decade. There isn't much to learn from these trades.
This logic sounds like an argument for chopping of you hand if it falls sleep.

There is an obvious and straightforward way of getting those 12000 people to work again. There is no argument for firing them just because they are striking outside of petty displays of power and pure stupidity.
That's not quite fair. IIRC workers do have cold starts but it is hidden by the TLS negotiation. So basically the start is nearly almost done by the time the request is received. I don't see any particular reason that this optimization couldn't be applied here.
It really doesn't matter. They're puppets anyhow and this, along with the sweetheart sinecures at banks, drug companies, etc, are just compensation for being figureheads.

Think about it, people that are signing off on trillion dollar checks are only getting million dollar kickbacks. They're not in charge. It's literally an order 1/10^6 cut.
I very much enjoy multiple USB 3 ports, ethernet, card reader on my laptop and do not have to carry any dongles. And I can easily hook 2 x 4K 60P screens using built in HDMI and mini-DP ports. It also has thunderbolt 3 so I can still hook anything extra should I ever wish.
You're making libertarians look bad with weak arguments.
Humans are filthy creatures. So wherever they live, they attract rats. Rats who are seen as a filthy problem to the humans so they kill the rats.

Any bets how long until Congress makes it illegal to follow their stock moves because following them is "insider trading?"
They make a great team.

Separately I mixed up Paul Pelosi with Emhoff, Kamala Harris's current husband.
It certainly seems to be raising awareness of the problem. In terms of making insider trading fair, I think that is inherently impossible.
Sorry, what I meant to say here I think is that Gaggle isn't being used to enforce a restriction against personal use. It seems like the school district in the article doesn't particularly care whether students are using their laptops or school accounts for personal use or not. They're not surveilling Google chat and e-mail looking for just any personal communications, or excluding academic communications form surveillance.

Look at the "what Gaggle flagged on kids' computers" chart: none of this is "video games" or "wasting time on YouTube" or "visiting sketchy domains that might host ransomware". If that sort of stuff was in "Other", "Other" would be the biggest category. If personal use of the devices or accounts outside the particular areas Gaggle scans for is against policy, the school doesn't seem to be using this tool to try and enforce that policy.

They are instead using the tool to examine everything the students do or store that might be related to these topics, whether it happens during personal or academic use.
When you own the largest propaganda machine the human race has ever seen, might as well use it.

This follows the article on HN yesterday about Peter Thiel's take no prisoners, apologize for nothing approach he taught to his protege Mark Zuckerberg. It's also very Trumpy.

Facebook is an ad company that monetizes social interaction and manipulates the social sharing of information for profit. It isn’t just about people interacting negatively, it’s that negative interactions are directly profitable to facebook, they know this, and they act on it.
What percentage of total federal expenses should go towards the salaries of the people running the federal government?

How much is it now? There are 535 members of Congress and they each get about $200k.
That means we are paying $107 million to run a government of ~$7.3 trillion.

In other words, about 1 thousandth of a percent of government costs goes to pay for the people doing the governing.

It just seems like maybe paying these people a lot more would reduce corruption and help them work better together as professionals.
Epic synthetic benchmarks bro.
Infrastructure is almost everything. Fully separated bike roads are needed for people to bike comfortably.

Highways are built with “levels of service.” There are no level of service standards for pedestrians: sidewalk availability, trees, protection from car traffic, directness of routes, etc. Bike lanes often don’t exist or are blocked by parked cars or trash. This would never be accepted for a road.
Is there a name for the problem of trying to place as many queens on a chess board as possible without checking (or stalemating) the opposing king?

The number is more than 9, which is the most a player could have in a normal game, so it's even less relevant to the game of chess than the N-queens problem, but it seems like the problems might be related.
I'm a New Yorker who has no desire to go back to the office. Love the park, the restaurants, nightlife, etc.

Just because people like living in cities doesn't necessarily equate to people enjoying going to the office.

"only"? What if that's their main goal? You're still judging them for having values that are different from yours, which is something that comes naturally to anyone. The whole point of learning to have empathy is so you can empathize with people whose values are incompatible with your own. You probably don't even understand their values and take their superficial statements literally because you're too keen to judge them as bad instead of understand their underlying feelings that they may not even be able to articulate themselves.
> Why even include that?

Some people resent what they perceive as too much taxes very strongly. Where do you draw the line between taxation and theft?

For example how do you call 50% taxes + 19% social wellfare taxes on top of that, actually a 69% tax bracket? Knowing that in addition to that, should you realize gains (say on stocks) on what you managed to save and put in the stock market, well, these gains are going to be taxed at 34%? What if auntie loved you and made a testament giving you her savings, what about 80% tax on that? Is that what auntie wanted, to give 80% to the state?

69%, 80%: when is it taxes, when is it theft?

I do personally think that in many countries we're way, way, way past diminishing returns due to the ultra high tax brackets and I don't buy the "but infrastructure" argument: it doesn't justify everything.
I recently switched from reading white-on-black on OLED to e-ink and it's been a world of difference. E-ink is so much easier on the eyes. It's amazing how it works in any lighting condition. It really does feel like the display technology of the future (for productivity.)
To be fair everyone said stupid things when they were younger. The problem with Zuck is that he hasn't changed a bit considering his entire business is just getting "dumb fucks" (his words) to trust him at large scale despite a proven track record of abusing this trust.

I don't think Twitter censors anti-Twitter sentiment.
How can a "no impact" activity like not eating meat scale to be impactful?

An individual's actions does have an impact, albeit a small one. It is measurable (CO2 savings from not eating that meat). Discouraging individuals from participating in individual efforts will prevent the group from achieving scale.
That's unfair, it's also a good medium to extract ransoms with!
You're right, I used the word "logout" imprecisely. I meant "lock".
Which came at the cost of just having fewer ports. 2 USB-C ports is a joke even if they are both thunderbolt 3 capable. One is taken by charging if you don't have a thunderbolt dock with power delivery, leaving you with effectively a single port.
You're talking about defeating a safety feature in an unsafe manner. I'm talking about how to let the car know I'm paying attention without inadvertently disabling autopilot in the process. Not comparable at all.
Too expensive compared to what I am willing to spend, so it doesn't warrant any further consideration.

There's simply no situation where the opportunity cost and actual costs of a child through ages 0 to 18 are anywhere near what I am willing to spend, no matter where I live in the UK. I don't want to move or impact my (or my partner's) career to that extent.

Thinking any more about it would be like me trying to decide which Tesla I would want when I wouldn't even be willing to spend the money for a Toyota Yaris.

every major victim so far in the supply chain has paid because its not only relatively affordable ransom, but because they clearly lack the organizational technical competence to prevent or countermeasure this sort of attack in the first place. its no different than being made to pay a bribe to the warlord to drill in elbonia.

Your comparisons are not even close: Email and ISPs are not amplifiers of content. They do not curate messages.

Facebook's algorithms absolutely were responsible: they amplified the propaganda that led to deaths. And their money-first-research-second approach at censorship is part of the reason.

Rather than turning off the service, they let it run wild.

FB is to blame for aiding and abetting.
Everything feels horrible until RSUs get air-dropped, which numb the pain enough to continue working there.
In conjunction with eliminating their ability to trade, yes. Otherwise it will be like trickle-down economics-- they'll just use their higher salary to trade on even more inside information and make even more money.
This has basically been done, and is why people are interested in tracking trades. See https://www.researchgate.net/publication/227378283_Abnormal_...

In fact, the idea of creating an ETF that tracks congressional trades in real time has also been floated: https://www.cnbc.com/2011/11/14/a-congressional-insider-trad...

The idea's a little half baked, of course.
