CoreAudio is fine, but I've still got gripes with it. Most importantly, it's not as modular as PipeWire is, and it doesn't really expose a whole lot of functionality via the system API. It's coasted along by just being "better than Windows" for quite some time now, but I'd like to see Apple push it into the next decade with something more substantial than just spatial audio.

Atmos for music is - I hate to say it - just a fad, at least for now. Nothing touches a good stereo recording. Not the latest Atmos mixes from The Weekend, not a remaster from Rush or REM, and certainly not the weird Atmos versions of old Mono recordings from Miles Davis.

Now, XBox / PS5 gaming is a different story. Playing Assassin's Creed, or some of the other modern Atmos games, is pretty stunning.

I'm fortunate enough to have a purpose built Dolby Atmos theater. I've spent hours calibrating it, listening to MQA Audio via Tidal, Atmos over Apple Music, and top-quality Blu-Ray Audio (The Wall, etc). There's really no question that good 'ol Stereo is still king.

Purely for science, I've spent hours and hours testing - and seeing which cognac and whiskey's best match which songs. :)
Now here's a guy who can really break down what ruins a broadcast crew.
No, I'm sure it's informative, but I don't normally watch videos as a way of evaluating products like this because they're rarely a good use of time, and I don't trust them to give an accurate portrayal. I much prefer to play with a demo.
That's not really a big deal, you could just develop a small shim for that d-bus API if you really needed to. But I agree, it would be better for them to switch to Pipewire.

When I hit 40-ish, Personal Finance for Dummies was a good, cheap read. That got me into reading Vanguard's philosophy on index funds. I was a history buff, so I paid some attention to exchange rates but not enough when CAD hit 1.08 USD. But throwing away matching contributions is not taking free money.
Very cool, although possibly dangerous if there's a fire!
The problem isn't "appropriation" so must as "appropriation without appreciation." In the context of Black America, the taking began with bodies and labor and has continued and expanded right up to present day. Language, food (aka "southern food"), political contributions, music. People the world over take, imitate and benefit from these things and more. Yet viewing and treating Black Americans as inferior is widespread. Why take from those you consider inferior? Who's the real dummy in that situation. Probably the most in-your-face example would white supremacist rock and rap musicians.
The simplicity comes from picking simple abstractions to build a dependent type checker. If I have decided to put linear types in PomPom, for example, you will probably waste more time implementing it than actually capturing a lot of expressivity. So the point is to pick what you think is better in the trade-off.

If you forget about the genetic qualities and focus on pure hard work on mind and body, this shouldn’t be surprising. By pure Darwinism, if you are fit mentally and physically your odds of success are higher by any means. Granted there are always outliners but on an average this is trivial.
> First, get rid of software that holds your data hostage and cannot be controlled via APIs before you start thinking about “AI”.

The paper is talking about using AI to improve screen-scraping performance for RPA frameworks, which is definitely a valid use case.

As nice as it would be to always replace legacy systems with APIs, sometimes you have a job to do and need to get it done! If you are hired to build something and it needs to integrate with some windows application which can only be accessed via Citrix which you are not able to touch, then these tools come into their own (not as the preferred architectural choice, but as the only remaining practical option).

In general, every country you do business in will charge taxes based on the profit you make within that country. So what you do is:

* Set up a company in the country where you'd like to pay taxes, and give it all of your intellectual property.

* Set up subsidiaries in the countries where you don't want to pay taxes. Have them pay licensing fees to the first company for the IP, making sure to set the licensing fee high enough that the subsidiaries don't make much profit.

* Now most of your profit lives in the first country, no matter how much business you do elsewhere.
I've been using Xonsh for the past 3 years. I really can't go back Bash.

I write lots of small scripts and utilities for myself, perhaps on average one per week. Random stuff, like: slicing json data, renecoding home videos with ffmpeg, querying APIs with requests module, loops, dictionary comprehensions, etc...

If some script needs to be deployed to production, it's fairly easy to rewrite it in plain Python.

I've resisted installing it on our production systems, but I'm thinking more and more of using XXH for this instead.

Cobblers children tend to go without shoes maybe?

I suspect some of it is just the joy of solving (or trying to solve the problem) means the unsexy work of digging through hundreds or thousands of old papers gets forgotten.

And looking at things with a fresh view (which isn’t going to happen after looking at all those old papers) does have value.

In paleolithic Ireland, such stones were used for cooking. They would be heated to a high temperature in a fire, and then rolled into a pit containing water to boil food.
Brilliant comment, my sentiments exactly.

Just to add on: I also believe that this is why we see virtue signaling so strongly today. The impact of one’s actions is quite secondary, for all the reasons you mention. So the illusion of change is just another circus for the mind to pass another hour.

I still think we live in the greatest point in time in human history, but this is a super interesting and equally concerning possibility.

> what are they going to do, bulldoze a historical central London property?

Seize the property and auction it off to the highest bidder. The process would be quite similar to a foreclosure. The problem the UK has is more that the stamp duty has countless loopholes. If he doesn't actually owe tax, then legally that's the end of the discussion.

I have little faith that all the loopholes in a stamp tax can be closed. It would be much easier to enforce a property tax system. Events are abstract and ephemeral, but real property is tangible and immovable.

Survey the area to assess a property tax each year. Mail the assessment to the property's address, and include a unique account number for payment. You can audit that all land in the tax jurisdiction has been assessed, and that all assessments have been paid. The only thing you really need to be careful about is what criteria you use for the assessment. Market value is relatively safe for that.

Southern California has considerable oil and natural gas seepage off shore. Many of the oil rigs aren't drilling but simply harvesting the seeps.

They passively collect 100-150 barrels a day from the Coal Oil Point Seep Field.

The oil in question was not from a seep however. It came from the processing platform Elly that supports two other drilling rigs in the Beta field.

That is true, but grants for replacing old heating systems have been around for a long time. In many cases however people did not take advantage of them because the cost of their old oil heating systems and others were not that bad.
Sure. I probably could’ve been much more clearer.

I don’t think Google taking your information and sharing it with advertisers is a great sin. Somewhat annoying but nothing particularly harmful.

I do think the search results are easily manipulated and it can be frustrating trying to find relevant information. Like most people I end up defaulting to Reddit for search queries just to find something that isn’t a blog by someone shilling their product.

But I understand the invasion of privacy would irritate some people and maybe in the long term it would be a net negative. So if there was a search engine that explicitly asked for certain information and you had the option to share, that would probably go a long ways.

I see an attempt at distinction without a difference.
When has the will of the people ever effected what politicians do?
At the macro-level, yes. But aren't all taxes the re-distribution (gathering and disbursement) regardless of where the piles of money end up? At the micro/personal-level, it'd sure feel like a tax to me.

The nuance here is Canada's constitution offers a framework to make a technical distinction argument and say

(i) the federal Canadian govt.

(ii) can impose this "tax" because it's a "regulatory scheme" via a catch-all authority provision outside its enumerated powers.

> they invest in their country

Why?

Their country might be a terrible place to invest in.

Also: define what "their country" actually means.

I think a much better take on this would be "I'd rather they invest their money in productive endeavors, that benefit society and/or humanity in general".

On other words, I agree with your general sentiment (the money should be put to good use), but find the "their country" part completely weird.
Removing website from Google search is the least of worries. Every meaningful aspect of your life is now being monitored by corporations and governments. It is too fucking late. That fucked up social scoring system being used in China to oppress people is coming here. Only instead of government doing it directly It will be mostly performed by corporations to keep the appearance of "free" society. Corps will collect your data, assign you a rank and act accordingly.
Before transferring the money to an offshore you earn them, which includes paying all of the taxes, like normal ppl.

When you get money from the offshore (as dividends or whatever) you pay taxes on that income, like normal ppl.

What happens with the money between these moments is different story though. Depends on how the money are spent. And to my understanding, if they used to buy a property, say in US, the offshore still pays the US property taxes.
Wikipedia should do this as Apple and Google are showing Wikipedia results as their own, robbing, IMO, Wikipedia of importance. Wikipedia is large enough that it should have their own search engine, likely with more relevant results.
> In history books, you get a sense sometimes that there were eras in which stuff like this sent people into the streets in rages.

Not always, but generally that only happens when enough people can’t feed their kids. We’re still too comfortable to risk it all. There’s also the issue of mass surveillance which can kill an uprising in the cradle.
It still may not be the right word, but microphones predate electricity (ear horns were called microphones).
just a small nitpick in the overall correct train of thought - is that it this reduction in output still does drive up the inflation - as fewer cars are made, their price increases (and it has knock on effects of increasing prices to anything affected by cars - delivery, logistics, you name it)
> For those closest to the power, the easiest way to get around the law... is to follow it to the letter.

I'd agree but not for the reason(s) you've outlined, what they they will do is get their crimes legalized. Or, if they get caught as in the case with Christine Lagrade [0], they will get convicted but serve no sentence and remain in their position. Proving that selective application of the Law, nepotism and the failing up method is as prevalent as ever within these circles.

The City of London Corporation is nearly autonomous to the greater UK with it's own political and legal framework [1], and given it's incredibly checkered past, you'd do well to keep that in mind when you decide to be an apologist for Russian tycoons and oligarchs.

To be clear: I'm not against wealth or the wealthy, I'm merely pointing out the hypocrisy (and my disdain) for those who use their relation to the State for their own largess.

>The files include disclosures about major donors to the Conservative party, raising difficult questions for Boris Johnson as his party meets for its annual conference.

Not to start a flamewar but its increasingly blatant bullshit like this that makes me extremely wary of modern news media. The disingenuous implication here is that in all 11.9MM documents there were only ties to conservatives. It's lying without telling a lie. In fact this paragraph serves no purpose except to push a political agenda and take a dig at the British analog to Trump, who seems to get the same treatment in media.
Well hopefully it'll show a few more people that our current PM Babiš isn't the anti-corruption people-lover he paints himself to be. Election's next week, so no time for investigations to fade away.
Sales taxes are logistically simple but also highly regressive, so the wealthy wouldn't even have to use loopholes to enjoy an ultra-regressive tax system :).
It's also incredibly successful in destroying social mobility, causing people to be stuck in ever-increasing levels of poverty - which is pretty destructive to peoples welfare too.

Not to mention it prevents political violence at the expense of causing extreme violence in foreign nations. As long as its not us, right?

I would say with this that unfortunately democracy = capitalism in the world we live in. And its really capitalism that causes those things, rather than democracy itself. I dont want to give the impression I hate democracy as an idea, just how we've implemented it.

> And to this end, the only reason to create a corporation is to make society better

I'm sorry but this is patently false, the reason to create a corporation is to capture profit.

Want to make society better? There are numerous non-profit and government organizations that broadly aim for this goal which do not turn a profit. The goal of a corporation is to sell goods or services, and hopefully those goods or services do in fact better society. However, this is far too often not the case to make the argument that corporations exist to improve society. Look at how much control corporations have over our society today, they're practically invincible and indemnifiable in our current culture because they're so much more insulated legally than individuals.
literally every point about windows 10 is wrong.

>forced updates

can be turned off with a few clicks, no external tool required, no command line anything. its just shy hard enough that people who should not do it wont accidentally figure out how. If you dont know how you know what to google for, if not you are one of thous people who should not turn updates off.

>telemetry

can be turned off mostly but not so easy. however its an essential part of how a modern OS is maintained people dont like it and I get why but fixing up bugs from just user bug reports is simply not feasible anymore.

>paid-for calculator

no clue what that means

>online accounts needed for local logins

simply not true. Ive used every windows from 95 to 11 and not one needes an online account. to this day I dont have one and beside the obviously cloud based apps like onedrive I can use everything just fine.

>literally zero improvements to day-to-day use vs 8.1.

pointless statement as it depend on use-case. plenty people only use office and a browser sure the OS updates have no use for them.
> humans don’t want to give half their money away to the government.

I once worked for an OS company. It is difficult to replace the incumbent commercial OS with new OS because of the ecosystem around it.

Lot of people at the companies like Microsoft, Intel etc know they have to change, but it is like moving hundreds of hundred pound gorillas at once. So either they don't do it or it takes lot of time to change. Microsoft has been, by the industry standard, very successful at managing change.
