Conflating the use of the word bullying by people trying to deflect their own misdeeds with actual, real world bullying of people based on their race, their sexual preference or even just their perceived weakness when compared to others seems like a convenient excuse to continue to let the strong continue to bully the weak.

People have committed suicide over online bullying. Were those people liars who attacked the weak and thus deserved the harassment they received from others? Who did a person on Instagram who is made fun of because of their looks "bully", using your definition, to deserve the negative attention they received? What platform did the Star Wars kid abuse to warrant all the laughter and derision he suffered?

People who abuse a position of authority and then hide behind claims of harassment or bullying deserve to be called out; but let's not pretend they are somehow a majority and that actual bullying leading to people either harming themselves or shutting themselves off completely from society is not a real problem.

One of the jobs that Steven Sinofsky had was to go to trade shows and copy best-of-breed software for Microsoft. He excelled at that and rose through the Microsoft ranks.

A big part of Microsofts success is to copy competitors (often badly) and be good enough for IT managers to buy worse-of-breed products in a “best-of-suite” offering.

Just look at how they still fail at edge cases compared to Zoom or how clunky they are compared to Slack. Yet they dominate those categories.
Is there any way to use Pop without the gnome backend? Gnome and Pop both ship with Nautilus, and apparently don't work well without it, but Nautilus doesn't have type-ahead navigation. This is when you are in a directory and start typing the first few letters of the file you want to get to. In Windows Explorer, that will just lead to the cursor skipping ahead, whereas in Gnome, this starts a search for the file. It's absolutely appalling behaviour, and the developers are obstinate to a fault at changing this, despite outcry.

And the fact the mRNA method is not technically a vaccine as such (excepting that they've changed the definition since).

The vaccine was sold as the ticket to freedom with early claims that it prevents spread and death. It does neither, might actually increase risk of more virulent strains longer term and brings a false sense of security to those not informed fully of the ongoing risks.

It will be the 'unvaccinated' - the 5-10% left - somehow still causing all spread and death because that's easier than having to continue to be cautious and responsible after 'taking one for the team' with the jab, or admit the vaccine mostly provides individual risk reduction, not societal.

That there's multiple other airplane manufacturers, not targeting the "large passenger jet" market, but more towards the "general aviation" market?

Textron (Cessna, Beechcraft, hawker), Piper, Carlson, Viking, ... There's dozens of aircraft manufacturers (I have intentionally not listed those who make hit planes, but I think they too fall under FAA checks).

I would not actually be surprised if the small airplane manufacturers puts substantially higher load on FAA than Airbus and Boeing do.
I think of the workplace to be like an orchestra. If there are 4 to 6 musicians, then agreeing on what piece to play and playing from the same score usually works well. This is like a startup. Now consider a 100+ piece orchestra, even when everybody is playing from the same score you need a conductor to set the timing and to indicate the passages, etc. That's more like large companies.

In my experience, in large companies there are too many bosses. But there still needs to be somebody to set the strategy and plan the implementation / delivery.
Non-paywalled Dutch language link: https://www.ad.nl/amsterdam/verhuurplatforms-door-registrati...

> Het gaat vooral om slapende advertenties van woningen die al een tijd niet verhuurd werden.

> It mainly concerns sleeping listings of units that have not been rented out for a while.

The number of listings is also expected to increase again if the number of tourists bounces back up after Covid.

Of course, the linked article also mentions this, albeit without claims of it being large part of the number:

> This may concern ‘dormant’ advertisements of which the tenant is no longer active. For example, because the corona pandemic has shut down tourism in Amsterdam for a long time.
> Unless you want to argue that the specific sites' search functions are poorly made.

You lose trust in the search function very quickly, if you gain it at all. Whether yours is effective and helpful does not only depend on the search implementation but also on whether your site actually has the information (that it should or is assumed to have) to be effective and helpful. A lot of factors come into this, representation, content, design both for search results and for the actual target pages.

Now if you have the trust, are helpful and effective, then the UX is drastically improved.

For one, search engine results have been degrading. There is _so_much_spam_ out there. Countless SEO sites that just crawl the web and generate crap output to show you ads, some seem to be handwritten as well. It is increasingly probable to get top results that are just presenting "stolen" content in some form or another. You get low effort blog-like posts that are just restating things they read in a discussion that is actually not the primary source, but a generated site, which is referring to the actual information somewhere else.

Secondly if you have in-built, decent search people will use it and they will be happy for it, because you'll be presenting them much better suggestions in a better way and you'll do it faster.

Think of some of the _best_ sites like MDN. Sure, you might enter the site via DDG or Google (in the former case you'll be searching directly like so: "!mdn [search_term]"). But when you're on the site you'll be happily navigating it via links and search, because it's just a very good site.

Other examples of this are: wikipedia, tailwind, clojuredocs, reactjs, hn.algolia...

They all have rich content, good search, useful links. It's a very effective combination.

The race to grab all the UK’s lithium before it’s too late
This kind of discourse sounds very much alike to the school yard bully calling others "snowflakes". Where do we draw the line on abusive language? Should it be totally accepted online and only in school yards banned? Should it be allowed everywhere? Should we allow the president mock people with disabilities? "Stick and stones can break my bones but words never harm me" sounds a bit antiquated nowadays but should we come back to that age of disrespect for the others, only because it's not physical?
Then i'm curious what your definition would be?

Because when you run out of ICU space, there is triage. There was triage last week. There is triage next week.

Who gets care first?

My point is that many people who are unvaccinated would prefer this, than to be forced to be vaccinated. (and they are effectively forced now in many places)

There were two arguments used to justify this imposition:

(a) - the herd immunity helps protect those can't protect themselves (too young, too old, immuno compromised)

(b) - it overwelms the health care infrastructure making it so that in certain places people can't get emergency care because the ICU's are full

Now the first argument (a) seems to be not true, and the second argument (b) seems to me like 'personal responsibility'. If you want to freedom to make these decisions for yourself (such as to get vaccinated), you are only accountable for the consequences of that for yourself.

The idea that you demand to not be vaccinated, but still get first-come-first-served emergency medical care at the expense of others, sounds to me entitled, spoiled and selfish.
The disappearance of the world’s greatest free diver (2015)
As an outsider looking in IPFS will struggle to catch on with non technical people, like Tor. It can be the best thing ever for privacy, access, or whatever. It still won’t catch on. This is the Linux problem as explained by Torvald.

The problem is that it isn’t unique enough from the existing experience and the problems it claims to solve aren’t something non technical people care about. Web distribution in its current form works. Even if it’s supremely shitty grandma can still post photos on Facebook.

If a new distribution format wants to win it needs to be different in a way an 8 year old and grandma can equally understand. IPFS is not that. What 8 year olds and grandma equally understand is that content is king, the layman term for client/server model.

More likely the future will purely be a focus on web technologies for application experiences and distribution. Kill the client/server model. If grandma wants to share photos with grandkids she doesn’t need Facebook at all. She only needs a network, a silent distribution/security model, and the right application interface. No server, no cloud, no third party required.

The irony of law abiding vigilante drivers beating up regulation abritraging drivers
Expanding on 'dawg, it's generally only profitable to rent if you're a company devoted only to renting, and the regulatory regime punishes the landlord with only a few units. This is because rents are not market-based, but instead are based on "use value" (bruksvärde). A 19th C apartment in the middle of the city can theoretically be worth "less" from a rental perspective than a newly built apartment in the suburbs.

Any annual rent increases are set via a form of collective bargaining, and if a landlord charges more, the renter is entitled to their money back.

The upshot of this is that it's much more profitable to buy a rental building and flip it to the renters via a bostadsrättsförening (a bit like a condo) or to only build to sell.

I think they are talking about using a clustered RDMBS as storage for k3s, rather than running multiple nodes as part of your Kubernetes cluster.
I would gladly see a client that lets users allocate between 50 to 200MB of storage to host other websites. It could run on phones and would allow redundancy.
We're talking about a woman, not "a person". Thats important in this context. A woman with a very public job that cant stand the backlash which comes with her job description. Of course, the whole world has to change now, because she cant be bothered to toughen up.
“All you need” is only true at the highest level: IPFS gives you a great way to discover replicated content. It doesn't help you know that the list of known hashes is complete (consider how much work IA has spent making sure that they crawl sites completely enough to be able to replay complex JavaScript), handle the scale of that list (this is a VERY large database which updates constantly), or provide networked storage at a scale measured in the hundreds of petabytes.

Volunteer capacity at the scale of many petabytes of online storage is unproven and the long tail of accesses is enough that you're going to have to think not just about the high replication factor needed but also the bandwidth available to serve that content on a timely manner and rebuild a missing replica before another fails.
But Wikipedia, per the article title, does not require accounts.
I’d rather have functions as they work quite well with method references and streams. Additionally ORMs require methods to do dirty tracking. If your class isn’t a entity pojo just use a record and get the getters for free.
Is there a safe and official way to give your account to a relation firm (and choose exactly what they can and can not do with it if possible)? Just handing a password from my Facebook/Google/whatever account to someone else doesn't sound good. Many people even use their accounts to log-in to everything and run their whole life and business so a leak can be catastrophic.
That doesn't matter, as it clearly grows faster than constant (as in, O(1)), which means that as the system gets larger it will take more time to do queries and maintain the index (which is ridiculously expensive on IPFS), not less (which was the claim we are contending is wrong... a claim which would still be wrong even if the system somehow were magically constant); and any supposed advantages in "caching" don't fix this (except maybe for extremely popular files: at best, ones more popular than the median file, though my intuition tells me it is going to be some inverse log worse than that, and I also suspect it might be the mean file instead of the median) as one is going to expect the number of unique files stored in the system as well as the number of queries performed to scale with the number of people using the system.
That looks great, nicely done! It's always a pain to create good looking PDFs, I like the approach!
The worst thing about Pop OS is the official styling of its name. "Pop!_OS", who came up with this?
This is incorrect. Mathematics also describes reality, just a different aspect of it. It has never been “pure thought.” Hence its usefulness in science and engineering.
That's what seems to have happened in Dublin too. Last August saw a doubling of long-term rentals, most in the areas most hard hit by AirBnB. I don't think it's lasted, given how bad things currently are here, sadly. Something really needs to be done to move them and keep them on the long-term market where they belong.
You might also be interested in the Bleem and Virtual Game Station lawsuits. They're notable because they involve commercial emulators, nobody settled out of court and it clearly demonstrates how large and rich companies abuse the legal system to put their smaller competitors out of business.

I'm not a lawyer so I don't fully understand the laws here. I found they were quite easy to read though.

Sony Computer Entertainment v. Connectix Corp.

https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=716676913673727...

Sony complained that Connectix copied their copyrighted code during the reverse engineering process. This is obviously necessary in order to reverse engineer the code, access the unprotected ideas embodied in it and produce compatible products. It was ruled as fair use.

Sony Computer Entertainment America v. Bleem

https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=118372240780525...

Sony complained about their use of screenshots of copyrighted games in advertising. This is comparative advertising intended to show that the emulator performs as intended, which is obviously good for consumers. It was ruled as fair use.

Despite this precedent, I still see companies issuing DMCA claims to emulator developers whenever they find some screenshot on an emulator website! It makes me wish some judge would award the developers millions just to punish the audacity of these companies. They're wrong but they know the developers won't ever take it to court so they take advantage of the situation.

Also, at no point is the legality of emulators ever disputed. It's not even a gray area. Emulators are competitors. They compete directly with the original hardware. They even try to argue that these competing products will tarnish their trademarks!

Sony lost all lawsuits yet they won in the end, because judges granted injunctions which prevented the smaller companies from selling their emulator software. That led to their ruin and the discontinuation of their emulator development. This was their goal all along. Their arguments are clearly insane, they just wanted some shoddy excuse to take their competitors to court and burn their money. In a just world, the judges would calculate the amount of lost profits caused by Sony and make them pay with interest.
I could see maybe non-binary being something like this...I'm not too familiar w/ transgender issues but supportive, but binary seems to be sort of what used to maybe be a 'tom girl', though I'm probably way off on that...

But true trans-f trans-m truly are or feel they were born the total opposite gender, some may even have been born w/ hermaphrodite expression possibly, where they had some of the opposite parts which could cause hormones of that kind...

Regardless, it's not a mental health issue imho, for some it may be a decision for the non-binary types..that one confuses me some, and I'm ASD spectrum so blunt, so I hope I don't offend anyone, just trying to use reasoning to understand/talk it through...

My cousin who's like 20 years younger than me is transitioning to male via hormones, etc. It seemed odd to me, but she didn't have a very happy upbringing either, raised by grandparents and her mom/dad I think not really wanting a kid (or treating her like she was their 'child'. She was dating a girl in H.S. then a boy, who she's still with even through becoming trans, I really haven't seen her in years though, just from facebook, etc.

Honestly, I admire people who find out who they are and go for it. I'm 42, and still floundering trying to find my purpose in life, or who I am. I'm a dad, and a programmer, and a husband... but what else? I feel incomplete often myself, but that's partly trying to learn to deal w/ ASD/ADHD which I only found out I had 3 years ago, and is part to blame for my obesity, depression, anxiety, and bouts of complete lack of motivation or severe procrastination.

tldr: I highly doubt gender-id is related to tik-tok or 'contagious', except maybe non-binary only because that's a little fluid, and just logically in my head it's non-committal one way or the other, though that's probably just my lack of understanding what it really means to be non-binary... Personally, I can't fathom waking up and being like: Ooh all these men want to be girls, that sounds like fun, I should too... it just doesn't sound like something that'd be prone to peer pressure. It's definitely a very personal choice, and has reasons behind it.

Haven’t we seen previous reports that basically state that lockdowns and or massive restrictions seem to have a negligible effect on spread?

"[I]n recent years the realisation has dawned that what’s good for Silicon Valley is not always good for everyone. What started with scrappy upstarts promising to make the world a better place has morphed into something more sinister: a pantheon of faceless multinationals who collectively dominate the world’s digital infrastructure, flouting regulations, avoiding taxes, and taking advantage of precarious labour to make a small number of people tremendously wealthy."

This sounds similar to some of my workflow when using Windows. PowerToys & fancyzones are really neat in that they let you pre-define specific "Snap zones" that you can then shift+drag windows on top of to resize them.

I tried Gtile on Fedora but found it wanting to emulate more of Linux's auto-tiling interfaces, which isn't what I want when using floating windows some of the time.

The Pop-Shell extension mentioned above was the best floating + tiling experience I'd used so far. Floating windows work like normal until you hit super+y where they'll begin to auto-tile & try to find sane spacing for the different windows onscreen.

You can cycle through those windows (and I believe resize them too) with keyboard commands, but also resize and drag around them with the mouse like normal. You can even drag them on top of each other to create "tabbed" windows behind one another with little selectors at the top.

I used this recently on a 12.5" (1080p) screen to reference Firefox on one half, while having my terminal, file browser, and text editor all "tabbed" on top of each other in the other half. Made it really smooth to fit all that into a small screen in a way that felt sane & easy to multitask with. I'd highly recommend trying that extension out and seeing if it can fill your needs, even if it's not 100% trying to fill Fancyzone's role.
> nfts represent ownership over digital culture

But what is the point of that? If I own a physical or digital item in the non-NFT sense the benefit is that I have the thing. I can use it/look at it/listen to it/play it/whatever.

What use is owning a receipt for something that anyone can freely copy for themselves? Am I supposed to feel good that I have it and someone else doesn’t? I literally don’t understand.

The only arguments I can come up with are enforcement of copyright and supporting artists, both of which can and do happen just fine without involving any sort of blockchain.
Hallo! Bartek from Kalkul here. We are building a spatial audio world called AURA. You can create your own 3D sound world in our app for iOS (for now).
