I had a Mac Plus and found a card that would clip-on to the 68000 and takeover the system at boot time. It had a fast 68020 and 68882 math coprocessor on it. It also came with a fan to get the extra heat out of the box. Ran great. Good times.
Thought only my cheapo Dell does this. DSP should’ve been offloaded to dedicated audio hardware. Doing it in software is just lazy.
I suggest you do some research as well. Joe Biden literally announced recently his plans to use OSHA to enforce vaccine mandates on any private business in America with over 100 employees. Now, chances are it won't hold up in court at all, but it's still there, it's still being attempted: https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-business-health-coronav...

In Australia elderly and children are being tackled and pepper-sprayed by police for not wearing masks. They're returning to their prison colony past. Don't even try to pretend what they're doing is a remotely acceptable way to treat human beings.

The vaccine passport you describe in your attempt to "debunk" me still sounds harshly authoritarian, do you think you're quelling anyone's fears by describing how proof of vaccination will be required to participate in basic society?
The cpu limitations are enforced indirectly. For one you can only clean install and then cannot receive updates.
Thus the practical benefits of progressive taxation: it decentralizes.

Like the other commenter below you says: you anthropromorphize and project lowlyness onto the other lifeforms because they lack nervous systems - because they aren't you. A nervous system isn't necessary for consciousness and feeling. What's more vital is information pathways. And plants have plenty of that. We do too as evident by how changing these electrochemical pathways alters our biology.
I agree completely with everything in your comment.
I work at a company where "Agile evangelists" are charged with making technical decisions and prioritising work over actual software developers.
If I go job hunting again, I want to avoid that sort of company. How do I do detect that sort of culture before I join the company?
Just turning off animations in settings would help I guess
I don't believe that. Researchers and managers working on ITER fusion are not moustache-twirling evil villains. The fusion they're attempting to do is not will o the wisp, it's real, and they're likely to succeed at it. They'd get much more funding and prestige if they succeeded earlier.

The reason is likely just incompetence and management failure, not conspiracy to swindle money.

My impression was that they were high on their own supply and there was no adult supervision at all, which I think aligns with your impression.
Maybe so, but then actual UX suffers as a result of developers crafting their way out of automated and manual detection. Every time they get killed, create another account, implement the obfuscation while still exploring users with shady monetization, make money until found again in months or years.
Funny, I couldn't kill my rosemary bush if I wanted to. It sits at the corner of the house without water and it grows and grows. In SoCal btw
OK, so concrete and cement more generally have high environmental impact. Do cities use more of them per capita, and if so, how? (And also, who is actually benefitting from that use - are we talking about concrete infrastructure like highways that are mostly for the benefit of those living outside the city?) Given that city dwellers generally have smaller homes than equivalent rural dwellers, share walls, and drive far shorter distances, I would've thought those living outside would end up being responsible for more cement use.
Controllers, maybe.

High-end CPUs, hardly. That would require significant design efforts to keep up with ARM's development.

Not that it'd be impossible for China to develop their own strong processor-designing forces, driven commercially or by the state. But so far it seems far from a trivial task.
I world have looked upon you with envy in 1985. :)
I thought it worked even better because you didn't actually have to move it anymore.
I suppose you may be right that revenue-neutral is not the right word, or at least people are starting to use it in a new way focusing more on debt than tax.

It is pretty clear that what Biden tweets about is the impact on debt, not taxes: https://www.politifact.com/article/2021/sep/29/can-joe-biden...
They do... The united States of America's army. The federal government is slowly becoming an arm of big tech. Look at how many ex googlers and Facebook execs are taking government positions. Look at how califorinia officials are instructing Facebook what to do.

This is like claiming the epa has no army ... technically true but completely missing the larger context
Added nix.dev to the list of resources in the post. Thanks.
>a cafe that does online and in person orders and ALSO has an online social media hub, where people gather and interact and are also able to purchase goods from the cafe, I think would work because it's a social hub where the users are truly customers.

This sounds like an even-more Disney-fied hellscape than the current Internet is.
Code is law! No wait.. not like that!

The crypto evangelist mental gymnastics never cease to amaze me
I never suggested it is sustainable for anyone else but one individual, the hypothetical individual being a combination of your situation and my perspective and experience applied to my admittedly limited understanding of your situation.
"Limits" are exactly what makes Pico-8 awesome. I definitely appreciate the changes Tic-80 offers, but Pico-8 and the surrounding community definitely have an x-factor that the "clones" are missing.
They could "extraordinarily rendition" the everloving shit out of Zuck - that might change Facebook's tune.
Study finds water feels wet.
Affirmative Action has been a thing in higher education since the 60's, and any attempt by the public to get rid of it through voter propositions etc. has merely led to institutions using sneaky proxies for race instead. So what the hell is this article even talking about?
Ran across this earlier today:

“For every time you say club passwords like “Have a nice day” and “Weather’s awful today, eh?”, you yearn inside to say forbidden things like “Tell me something that makes you cry” or “What do you think deja vu is for?”. Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others…”

-- Tim Leary [https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/514216-admit-it-you-aren-t-...]
For cities to be able to exist, they need a steady supply of food, energy, people, and goods brought in from the surrounding areas. Remember, cities are basically parasitical organizations, being both financial, real material, and population sinks on net: they need to constantly import people, goods, food, and money, otherwise the city will not survive. They are the center of transportation networks sending goods into the city. There is not a single city anywhere that is self-sufficient in any of these areas, but there are rural regions which are self-sufficient in one or two of these categories (but rarely all four).

So I very much doubt that road networks linking the cities with each other and with the surrounding rural areas are for the benefit of the rural areas more than for the benefit of the city, although certainly both sides obtain some benefit.

This goes all the way back to Rome. Why did all roads lead to Rome? For the benefit of the provinces, as an act of generosity on the part of Rome, or so that a stream of goods can be brought into Rome and consumed there?
I have talked to over 400 strangers from 4chan over the past year.

The first thing I ask is "Are you happy?"

The conversation becomes worthwhile every time.

Oppression can also be using locks to oppress robbers trying to get into your house. You can’t equate all oppression to unjust/anti-human-rights oppression.
The interesting thing going against your fear is that there are organisms like blue whales that do not die of cancer, or at least for them it is an exceedingly rare disease. The reasons for this are not yet understood, and they may not be entirely applicable to humans (e.g. the sheer size of a blue whale may play an important role, since cancer would take much, much longer to grow to any noticeable proportion of the whale than in a human-sized organism), but at least it proves it's not completely impossible to have life without cancer.
My local politicians have closed their offices due to covid. The phones do not work because they go to the offices. The only official way to contact them is via email. The only way people seem to successfully get a response is via Facebook.

Facebook has willingly inserted itelf as the arbiter of all social and governmental actions in our brave new world. Stop pretending.
The article states that, but provided no proof or data to support its conclusions. Unless I missed it this is just somebody’s opinion?
> It’s not a waste, but it’s not best allocation either. It seems like the chips will go to established players with large and cheap credit lines and ossify the market even more.

Credit is cheap, and there's no particular barrier to entry (unless we're talking about things like backroom deals with concert promoters, which I'm sure does happen, but isn't an essential part of the business), so I'd expect this to be a fairly competitive market.

> The scalpers are not like market makers who are regulated, provide both bid and ask, and whose spread is usually quite small in comparison to scalpers.

Market maker regulation is relatively recent, and market making is recognised as having served a beneficial function long before that. Many of these ticket sites do list bid prices for your tickets as well. The spread is pretty wide compared to listed equities that trade hundreds of times a second, sure, but if you compare a single concert's ticket with a stock or bond that trades at a similar rate (which would be, like, the bottom end of the pink sheets) it's not so bad.
Look at the Citibank Revlon case from last year [0]. In a clerical error, Citi sent $900m to a bunch of hedge funds, related to some Revlon debt. It asked for it back. It got about $400m. It sued for the other $500m… and lost in court.

I’m not saying this is identical to that case, which depended upon New York law. But it is far from clear-cut and I think you are being way too confident in your view, since nothing like this has ever appeared in court.

[0] the decision: https://assets.bwbx.io/documents/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/rrBrQQPB...
In a non-nuanced scenario, yes, because chances are the higher-ups are willfully ignorant on what sort of deals their marketing is doing, and will use the person as a scapegoat if they’re found out.
Isn’t the US government especially good at centralization of specific industries? Education and mail service come to mind.
> Maybe I misread the ending of the article and that the author meant that we should worry about the centralization of any org, and more so about the centralization of government orgs.

fwiw, that’s what I got out of it.
The first amendment applies to individuals not publicly traded half public-half private entities.

Facebook is the government. The white house under the current regie and state of California both admit that they have backdoors into Facebooks bureaucracy they use to ban content. Facebook is already merged with the Chinese state apparatus in china.

As such they ought to be regulated as a government agency. Those do not enjoy first amendment rights. Ones first amendment rights end the moment they accept being part of the government.
Wow, really sounds like this is the signal to everyone that Compound is too incompetent to be in the Dunning-Krugerrand pyramid scheme market.
That would be reasonable if an employee committed ad fraud for the company in question, but not just because they've previously done so for a past employer.
Copyright and patents do serve some good purposes; this is why they were introduced in the first place.

It's the endless extension of copyright (hello, Mickey Mouse) and granting excessively wide patent rights (e.g. on whole classes of chemical compounds) that does not serve the initially envisioned good purposes. Overdose is bad, whether you use table salt, a medicine, or a law.

ARM in particular is not known for abuse of the system, so indeed they are a positive example.
I am confused. Does it only capture comments created on the tool, or it captures comments from anywhere on the internet?
PG&E to shutter beloved 'falcon cam' after 15 years in air
Fantastic grey area.

Here, I'd probably have that be legal. Not because I approve of it, but because the alternative, regulating who gets to reproduce, is worse.
Depends on what you mean by mobile support -- there's an Android version if that's what you mean.
Yep, it's in the haunted hotel, at the bottom right behind a laundry room, if I remember right.
We haven't had true meritocracy in quite a few decades. The New Yorker out here pretending affirmative action just doesn't exist.

Why Senior Developers Are Leading the Great Resignation Movement
I hate that she's a hypocrite. But there are so many better people then her in the party (e.g., Wyden & AOC), and it's not like I'm going to run and join the dumpster fire known as the QOP. I mean, what is the QOP really doing to help? Nada, they've just made it 12 trillion times worse from 2000-2008 and 2016-2020 (Ignoring the 80's entirely). At least the dems are helping the middle class every day even if some are stealing while doing it. Better than just a cross-shaped boot in the face while stealing.

Maybe for the better - SpaceX, et al haven't incinerated any crew on the ground, blown up any crew during the ascent, nor burned up any crew in re-entry by ignoring their engineers in favor of their political appointees.
I don't think all of the worst atrocities have been directly perpetuated by governments, with the most obvious one coming to mind being the transatlantic slave trade, where many companies facilitated the slave trade and also the slaveholding. Also gangs just came to mind.

I do think that even if companies/non-governmental orgs are causing the violence, that ultimately we often look to government to resolve the conflict and/or to protect us, and if they don't, then it becomes their fault for not doing so.

But again, overall, I'm not saying we shouldn't be afraid of governments wreaking absolute havoc and pain upon millions or billions of people, because, as you mention, "liberal democracies are but a hop, skip and jump away from autocratic dictatorial hell as history has shown repeatedly." Governments have harmed so many humans over the history of our species and I think it makes sense to be fearful they will get too powerful and do that. I just think it also makes sense to be a little afraid that corporations/other orgs will get large enough and powerful enough that they could also do damage to us.
At least in TIC-80, the faux retro limits are still there (including the annoying low-res font which is a bit silly -- actual 8-bit computers didn't have fonts that bad). The main thing that it gives you over PICO-8 (besides being free) is the ability to use different languages. I don't think there is anything particularly retro about Lua -- it didn't even exist in the 8-bit era these fantasy consoles are nostalgic for. There's a (paid) fantasy console on steam that uses BASIC, which is at least period faithful.
The incidence of errors occurring and the incidence of error correction failing increases over time

I think that has much less to do with the immune system, although I think that can be a factor too

It’s just probability from a flawed replication process
Was it because pests chewed on the insulation, or did it actually break down?
> But even in the absence of much corruption, civil servant selfishness, or partisan rancor, and even with the best political processes that we can imagine, a government managed food industry would still probably end up creating a worse world of food over the long run.

Of course a perfect firm/government will perform better than the free market. That's why firms exist.

Libertarian ideologues tend to have blissfully little knowledge or appreciation of the difficulties of scaling and effective management. Big firms sometimes underperform because scaling human organizations is a fucking hard problem, not because "centralization bad".
I don't know what gave you the impression they should consider another design. They hit a buggy corner case that had straightforward workarounds. Suggesting this implies a need to rearchitect their system seems like a drastic overreaction.
The same safety benefit, without the risk, could be accomplished using some kind of signal with the sirens for "you're getting a ticket", sending a ticket in the mail, and logging it in a database somewhere so the person can look up why they got fined. Warnings could be done in the same way.

If someone is impaired enough to be driving dangerously, police will notice that and should pull them over. I'm talking about the minor infractions which (I presume) make up the majority of stops.
My boss back in the late eighties had an se/30 with an external portrait display, it was pretty funky for the time. We had to struggle with the normal displays which were just a bit too small for type setting academic papers. Having said that, we spent a lot of time in telnet to a Unix box running LaTeX for proper publications.
Netflix's 'Squid Game' is so popular, Korean ISP sued over the surge in traffic
I think you're missing a 'not'.
Seems like you misunderstand what you're showing. That graph shows precisely how well the approach has worked.

If Victoria and other states had gone with the same approach as The UK, US, or most other wealthy nations, the case numbers and deaths would've been vastly higher.
I'll definitely be digging into this more! Poking around the repo, and I stumbled onto this great resource, First Principles of Interaction Design[0]. Great stuff.

This is lie tbh. Chrome was caught with using some shadow dom api in firefox to slow it down. And Google meet transmit more data in firefox than using chrome which means google has added something in chrome. Also google drive doesn't work properly in firefox like it can't download multiple file. But if i use chrome/brave it works properly.

And Gmail wont allow you to login from different browser in name of security reason. They do many thing to shift user from firefox to chrome/chromium browser for many reason.
You can still get nice ones but they will cost you. Still worth it. Search for the “Yard Butler” brand.

The key to governance is and always will be feedback. The human body is a great analog - millions of nerve endings, each of which can change the behavior of the whole system if it signals pain badly or persistently enough. Any system that provides low latency end points to its customers is preferred by customers - and small entrepreneurs and people highly invested in providing good service are the best end points so far. The larger the entity, the more layers need to be pushed between endings and decision maker, the higher the signal you need to emit to get heard.

From an economic standpoint There are a bunch of downward pressure on corporate size:

Capitalism doesn’t like companies that are too mangled with inefficient divisions - investors have portfolio goals and they can’t use a company in their portfolio that doesn’t signal like it’s industry. The more merged a company is, the more likely some divisions are to carry other divisions instead of returning money to stakeholders, the less attractive it becomes, the more likely their focused competitors are to get the big retirement fund allocation instead.

Historically, Corporate Managers love few things more than more people under them, and lots of cash for toys on the budget. So in the 80s you had fat corporations with lots of cash at hand and private jetting. That triggered massive PE and leveraged buyout activity. Now companies know better than to stay cash ladden, because activist investors are hunting for fat corporations to LBO, especially with low interest rates out there. By this point, however, the fat is mostly gone.

Centralization only helps with utilities, which is why if monopolies become too central to life in a country, they risk turning into one and then having profits capped.

Feedback on quality is and always will be king and any giant is vulnerable to nimble and responsive competitors of higher quality.
Hey can you elaborate on how to claim?

I deposited some assets on Compound a year ago and I think I got the initial COMP airdrop

Does this make me eligible for this glitch? There wasnt anything in the UI suggesting so, but I can skip the frontend and use the smart contract directly, with hex or bytecode if necessary

Just not sure what to look for
This kinda belies the whole premise behind "smart" "contracts", doesn't it? I've always heard that the point of smart contracts is that we don't need the legal system to settle issues, because the code itself enforces the contract.

Apparently code can have bugs, and people can make mistakes? Whoops, wish we'd known those things before pouring millions into this stuff.
Consider it a bug bounty paid in advance
