>Someone devoted to his own interests lacks charity, but not integrity.

Well, I wasn't talking about some hermit fully devoted to his own self without impact on others.

I was talking about someone pursing his own interests ahead of everything else - who would e.g. lie if it benefits him, steel, backstab, and so on.

This man might be an "whole and undivided" jerk, but he lacks integrity - that is, an actual good moral character.

So, "whole and undivided" is not what people mean when they say "this person has integrity". They mean that he is a "man of his word", has honor, is not two-faced, and so on.
Yes, that was my mistake. Doesn't make my words any less true.
Good article. People are being mislead constantly by people we've given our trust to and it's unfortunate.
Yes, yes Nim could be. Actually I’ve been working on that idea for a while now. I’ve been working on getting an Embedded Nim project going on GitHub. Come stop by! Also some discussions on Nim forum: https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/7731#49050

PS I’m wrapping Zephyr as a basis, but working on better Nim abstractions on top.

> Gray areas are where art and ingenuity is born.

Gray areas are also where all manner of corruption is born. Officials soliciting bribes, nepotism, exploitative labor practices, these things love gray areas.

They also keep bad rules around and encourage selective enforcement to target the disadvantaged. Lincoln said it best: "The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly."
Here's an example. You're doing a big machine learning workflow and you've got a gazillion large files representing training data. You run a large training job in Amazon's cloud somewhere that is composed of one worker that lists the files and delegates work to various learning jobs, and then those jobs each stream in one training file, process it, and then grab the next item and repeat. That's a pretty common type of work.

>If was looking for solid working class / middle class job, I would be watching this video for tips!

You might want to watch more videos, move over to his youtube channel... because he quits trucking earlier this year:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gk8AnMzhZZE

The downsides caught up to him after ~3 years. He also worked his salary out to roughly $8/hr (see video for details) considering time spent "on the job".

So, perhaps this isn't the solid advertisement for the industry you were thinking it is.
It invokes some of the particular absurdity of Spring or AspNet, though.

There was one experience where the local Uhaul gave me a 20' truck instead of the 10' van I requested. It was the most stressful, surreal experience I ever had trying to maneuver that big dumb truck around city streets. And this was just to move a broke college graduate's stuff; basically a cheap futon, book case, and desk. Nothing in the truck was worth the damage of hitting or scraping a car.
Just to update, I was impressed with Pop!_OS on my "2-in-1". Turned on virtual keyboard under Accessibility settings, and got to drawing in Krita. I bound one of the buttons on the front of the screen to "undo" in Krita. Works quite well, though there are some issues I'll have to figure out, but so far Pop!_OS was the best by far of the ones I've tried. I was able to use all kinds of applications without issue. Going to install this as the long-term OS once I get an SSD to drop in this machine! Woot :)
This post has a lot of misinformation.

For starters, fed is a bank and the bank cannot go "bankrupt" in the usual sense.

The United States (government) was not bankrupt in 2009. If it were, it would have defaulted on their loans.

The m0 and M1 money supplies most certainly do not have any meaning in the modern world where transactions take place digitally: There's going to be no coin shortage ruining daily commerce. Not even remotely close to what's being discussed.

> The US government printed nearly 400% more money to keep the bond market from collapsing.

The fundamental misunderstanding seems to be from what you think happens when you say "print money". What you said is the equivalent of saying "The US government
borrowed more money from the federal exchange to makesure the bond market thinks the government is good for the old loans.."

"In the popular imagination workers’ share of the economic pie has room to grow at the expense of profits. But recent research suggests that labour’s share of the value created by firms has in fact been fairly stable in most rich countries during recent decades. We estimate that it has already risen by one percentage point on average in big rich countries during the pandemic. There may not be very much scope for further increases."

Wow, that's a truly obnoxious misdirect. Just use the word "stability" and hope nobody notices that stability is not the subject.

Profits in retail went up 40% during COVID -- and wages are up 1%. The scope for further wage increases therefore approaches 39%.

Obviously companies are going to continue to try to hold on to as much of that increase as possible for themselves, but here the Economist is pointing at the fact that wages have been artificially depressed, and pretending that that constitutes evidence that there's no room to raise them!

No, because there's no definition of a "GPU core". Vendors just pick a random layer of their GPU and call it a core. Whether or not it makes any sense as being called a "core" or being comparable in any way isn't a goal of anyone's.

Really they aren't even comparable across a single vendor (the capabilities of a single "SP" on an Nvidia GPU has drastically shifted over the years - and not always in the "more capable" direction)

At best you can roughly compare GPUs from the same generation from the same family (eg, M1 Pro vs. M1 Max). But that's about it, and even that can be deceptive (most commonly in desktop GPUs where other differences can drastically alter scaling across differing "core" counts)
Yes. It’s in the MacOS ToS.
Right, but your source here is from 1979 (I think there's a larger increase since the 60s) and it still displays an overall (small) rise in real wage growth for the 10th and 50th percentile. It displays a (small, which is still very bad to be clear, you would expect a large increase, but this isn't really "precipitous") drop in real wage growth for males in the 10th and 50th percentile. I don't have a source off the top of my head, but I think you'll find a rise in real wage growth for both males and females for both 10th and 50th percentile since the 60s.
The economic system we have now was that - it has both opportunity, available productivity, and growth and has not provided for the entire work base.

If they go plastic back, it looks and feels cheap. If they go metal, wireless charging breaks. I guess they could do alcantara or something. Tough spot to be in.

FWIW, the iPhone mini at least fits in my hand, so they get bonus points regardless of sharp edges. It does kind of stink needing a case to prevent it flying away.

I might just be a curmudgeon, but a lot of the newer tech products (iPhones being the exception) look really ugly to me. Pixel 6 and MacBooks being the most recent and serious offenders.

I think I’ve just accepted that we’re in a weird time for design and as long as the function is fine I’ll overlook the looks. Pixel 6 looks to me like it was deliberately designed to be so ugly people would talk about it. Same with new MacBook notch, which I wouldn’t mind if it looked exactly like the iPhone notch but larger. The curves are just off.

I guess this is karmic justice for me being so in love with Metro and flat UI ~8 years ago. I take comfort in knowing it’s cyclical and in a few years we’ll wrap around to Fisher-Price XP-style UI.

This is a problem on app stores too.

If I search for my bank's app, the top results on Apple's app store are apps for competing banks, which are pretty explicitly not what I want.
Just noting I run an AX210 on my T440p. Bluetooth and wifi both work starting with kernel version 5.12 in my experience. I had it pinned to a specific version rather than latest like

boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_5_12;

but slowly 5.12 and 5.13 were both removed as specific kernel versions in nixpkgs, so it's

boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_5_14;

now which still works.

I eventually plan to just remove the line and use the default kernel, once the default kernel is bumped up to 5.12
That may be true but programming languages are there to give you the power to develop any idea into a working software solution. I think K8s differs because I see it as something that simplifies infra and abstracts infra vendor specific concepts. The complexity in K8s doesn't add power, just confusion ;)
IAM is a tough problem. We need solid technical underpinnings, scalable and consistent new ID issuance procedures, revocation and reiussance workflows, accommodation for those on the wrong side of the digital divide, fraud resistance, and of course this has to be at very low cost for equity reasons and good stewardship of tax money.
Do you have an example of something these teams have developed that has actually made software engineers more productive?
If it's cheaper and not apple, that's enough for me. I hate iOS and just need a cheap and reasonably reliable phone. the pixel 4a was great last year and when I need another new phone in 4-5 years, I'll go for whatever's not apple and cheap

> The research updates a similar 2013 paper revealing that 97% of studies published between 1991 and 2012 supported the idea that human activities are altering Earth’s climate.

That was a fraudulent or at least dishonest claim already (everyone knows right?!), so I doubt this new one does any better. Just the line "caused climate change" is dishonest: It implies every person which worked on a study and who falls into the 99,9%, believes that the rising temperatures are 100% caused by humans, while the other faction apparently denies any influence or denies climate change as a whole. That's just BS.

Nitpick (as you well know) - codice fiscale in Italy differs from USA SSN in that, for once, it has never had AFAIK any semblance of secrecy at all, as you can easily construct it starting from name, surname, place and date of birth [1] Funnily enough, this sometimes results in two individuals computing to the same code [2]

Superdeterminism (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdeterminism) isn't really a falsifiable theory, per se... It doesn't actually have testable predictions that can ever differentiate between a universe wherein Bell's Theorem is true, vs a universe governed by Superdeterminism.

It's kind of like saying "All our experiments appear to come up with consistent results, only because God intervenes in all our experiments to create those results." That statement can never be made falsifiable, so it's not a scientifically interesting statement to consider, because by definition it can never yield testable predictions.

That does not mean Superdeterminism is uninteresting... Just that it's a matter of theology or literature, not science.
Well, that wasn't always the case. If they change the terms of service to disallow having a non-human account, that doesn't change the fact that it still exists. By the time I deleted my own personal facebook account, I hadn't used the dog account in years anyway. It only became an issue when the dog died. Also, I did nothing wrong to lock the account, it was their idiotic methods that caused the issue, not the fact that the account was actually for a dog.
You don't avoid it all via the S-Corp. You just avoid the half the employer (in this case, also you) normally pays.

I'm not a tax accountant or a lawyer, just happen to run my own consulting through an S-Corp. I still pay myself around half of the net revenue the S-Corp brings in as a regular employee, and that portion is taxed under FICA.
The article doesn't really have anything to do with pharmaceutical sourced Methamphetamine.

The author contrasts contemporary street meth, which is reportedly created in vast quantities using a variety of toxic industrial chemicals, to illicitly produced meth from 15+ years ago, which was primarily made from naturally-occurring ephedrine.

The point of the article, I believe, is to outline how synthetic production has changed the end product and the way it affects the user. It is said that psychosis observed in users of the early 2000's type of ephedrine-sourced meth was typically due to the user being awake for several days, where as modernly produced meth can induce such psychosis within hours of use. This seems to indicate higher neurotoxicity, and the author questions whether it is due increased potency or contamination of product through production.

> If you get a phone on contract, you don't actually own it till you pay it off, and the company is entitled to lock it.

No. You don't turn off somebody's phone while they're using it. You have no idea what they could be doing. Someone could be literally dying in front of your locked out consumer who is now unable to call for help. This is vital infrastructure and you're denying them access. If somebody dies because of this, it's on your conscience.

Would you randomly disable somebody's car's engine because they didn't pay? No. You call the police and get them to repossess the car. The police will do it properly without risking collateral damage.

> If the terms of service don’t allow you to create a Facebook account for a dog, is it reasonable to expect them to accommodate recovery when you do so anyway?

First, if the terms of service didn't have any exclusion against a dog then absolutely yes it's reasonable to expect them to accommodate recovery when you do so.

Second, if the terms of service explicitly state that you own anything then is it reasonable that they deny you your owership? We're talking about HUMANS here. If a business states that you are not permitted to enter their building but you do so anyway, and in doing so you lost your wallet, then is it reasonable to expect them to return it to you? Yes it absofuckinglutely is. This is no different whatsoever.

Third, terms of services are not a contract because nobody reads them. A contract specifically requires that both parties understand and comprehend the terms of the contract. Websites provide services despite the fact that 99% of people do not understand the terms presented. You're deluding yourself if you think it's reasonable to think that everyone fully understands "Facebook is not a place for pictures of my dog".
> Our whale customer profile was something like "Saudi oil-tycoon's trust-fund kid trying to keep up with the Joneses [other Saudi oil-tycoons' trust-fund kids] by throwing money at lootboxes until they get the high-spec or rare equipment required to be equal-or-better in social status."

I have seen no evidence that is true. I guess most of them would be a person working a regular office job who has $1000 dollars to spend per month and throws it at the game since they are bad at managing money / say no. There are way more middle class people who are bad at money than there are rich people who care enough about games to throw money at them.

The story about the trust fund kid millionaire is to help you sleep, it isn't reality. For example, I had a friend who spent thousands of dollars on league of legends over the years, he worked minimum wage jobs. That is the norm.

Edit:

> The way to make whales spend money wasn't to make our mechanics more addictive; it was to "seed" a rare item to one whale in a friend-group of whales, and watch the others scramble to acquire it too, so as to not suddenly be relegated to lower status.

Seeding rewards early to a person/group is a common way to trigger gambling addiction. So to me it seems like you are doing the worst of the worst kind of gambling addiction scheme here, since you admitted to not having fair chances per try but instead seed out items to trigger gambling addiction in people.

Bugs in Our Pockets: The Risks of Client-Side Scanning (2021)
I can't read the article because paywall, but Cixin Liu's three body problem trilogy had had a big impact on me. A big theme of the books is how we collectively process information and make decisions.

The world is threatened by an alien species and different people have different strategies for deference. They need to pick something that can't be predicted and defeated. Essentially earth needs a collective poker face while rapidly innovating a unique solution.

There is an implied parallel between human behavior and quantum particles. Our decisions are influenced by the information we have and signals from people and our surroundings. Quantum particle movement is influenced by the dynamic combination of forces on it. Both have probable outcomes from an observable state, but that observation influences the behavior of both.

I'm left thinking about the nature of reality. Some things are probable, and some seem random. When we see an option we like, we can nudge the situation towards it. When we don't like the options, we can take a walk or try something new and shake up the probability field we exist in to generate new options.

We can't predict the future because it depends on a series of interactions that have unpredictable outcomes. The three body problem explains how this is difficult to compute linearly. The best we can do is identify probabilities based on the information we have and our understanding of the model.

Quantum particles exist in a wave until they are observed in a specific point. When the wave function collapses, it goes from being probably here, to definitely there. I experience this in situations with dynamic outcomes. IE, I think this client is likely to sign today, but they may not. Sports plays are another good example. When we no longer have the ball in our frame of reference, it is probably somewhere in the direction we last saw it go. When it's in the goal, everyone sees it there.

It leads me to think about free will. We can go with the flow and give in to our influences. Or we can be decisive and do something else. The effects of our actions influence others in expected and unpredictable ways. I can have a great time being passive, just watching a movie or having a drink. I also enjoy being creative and taking risks. I get to experience the things other people contribute and share what I've found. I don't know what's out there beyond our understanding, but I've come to really appreciate the system we exist in.
True, but isn't that the while point of the supply-demand curve? Not enough drivers to cover the work means that prices should go up, and some marginal customers will go away, until the whole thing balances.

It's odd the way people understand that increased prices will lower demand, but not see that demand will also drive prices.
You'd expect more from Google at this point!
