I knew a person who seemed to have some success here (but I cannot verify that). She literally visited small business offices, shops etc. to pitch in person. Over time her contacts built up and, like I said, she seemed to be doing well.

I doubt just having a web presence and having people come to you is an option.
I'm really glad for what Carmack did. It's rather sad though, that support was dropped for this headset after only two years. As a reminder, the Oculus Go was released more than a year after the Nintendo Switch.
Anything like that would be killing this new Foundry business they are betting their future on. No way.
Yeah, they kind of said that too, with the addition of "resist for a bit, don't immediately comply, only back off if there's no choice". But yeah, I get what you're saying. Don't think I'll ever sign such a contract again though.
In many of these cases its your word against the cop's word. Guess whose side the justice system takes...
Nothing would fundamentally change about human nature and society if the scenario in [1] comes to pass. Humans will still likely thrive and be happy, as we have for many years.

Thanks for being respectful.

Congrats on the launch! Just a heads up that the website seems to have some issues on Firefox. The green check marks show up over the copy making it unreadable.
How is that pronounced?
Ads for actual products and services instead of fake download buttons and penis enlargement pills.
If you are rich enough to pay a top defense lawyer, probably the whole case gets thrown out on that technicality.
How do you keep the battery from degrading after a few decades? Are there specific battery types that are long-term (hundreds of years?). Such as capacitors?

And the solar panels themselves would need maintenance, even if it is simply cleaning.
It's not perfect, but I've had good results soaking the beans first. Soaking overnight works best, but in a pinch, two minutes at high pressure is sufficient. You can release the pressure quickly (by the steam valve) after the soak, because the beans are still hard. Discard the soaking water.

Adding some salt to the cooking water (not the soaking water) will help keep the beans from turning to mush.

You will probably have to experiment to find out what works for your cooking equipment, beans, and water chemistry.

I assume a slow-cooker or stove-top method would remove some of the variables and make it easier to achieve a consistent result. I haven't manage to plan beans that far ahead in recent memory, so I can't confirm.
GOTY editions rarely need 0-day patches.
It's what you would expect when they have harshly enforced production quotas. Safety is inevitably secondary in that sort of environment.

Trying to minimize the severity of the injuries is very questionable. You can't force someone to walk 10-20 miles a day after they injure their ankle. Reporting accidents resulting in missed work or doctor visits is completely normal, saying that Amazon follows the law and nobody else does is a little rich for me.

Different structures like union protection or looser production requirements provide a lot of slack. Even averaging the same production over months/years, it allows for working slowly or more carefully in situations that demand in it. Going slower because your back is feeling off is an escape valve; a fistful of Ibuprofen and hitting your hourly quota might mean a recordable injury 2 days later.
Is the service even public yet? The license says that users of the service are entitled to the code but if the service isn't open to users I fail to see the violation.
Maybe behavioral is the right term. It's clear to me that parents can pass on behaviors.

I agree... the decline of traditional culture means that there's nothing to ground these people.
Or the more alliterative "con crud".
Yep. Where I live it's very rare for cops to use their guns, and when it happens, you hear about it in the news. And if it wasn't just a warning shot to the air, you're going to hear about it again when they try to find out whether the gun use was justified.
I've certainly heard of that theory. How is that relevant to "defensive" vs. "aggressive"? You're saying Switzerland is aggressive because they have a military?
My thought on the issue is to talk about hard topics ( politics ). I think that is the easiest way to test one person's character.
Doesn't GOOG go hard in the paint with those questions though?
A tech-literate business person who is around the same life stage as me (or are sympathetic/able to work with people in different life stages), if I were looking.
Print it out on acid-free paper with a stable, acid-free ink. Have it bound as a hardback, and seal it into a waterproof container. Entrust it to one of your children, tell them to keep it in a safe-deposit box and take it out once a year to share with their children, and to pass it on to their children with the same instructions.

If you have it electronically, the absolute best case in 500 years is that it will be a relatively easy job for software archaeologists or historians to decode, assuming it's been periodically backed up to new media for all those years. The most likely case, though, is that in 150 years, the servers it was stored on, which have not been running for 80 years, will be picked over and/or melted down for precious metal contents by a tinker who wanders between mud-hut villages repairing their ancient metal pots in exchange for dried fish.
Market power is a well defined economic concept. I am an economist who works on that issue. If he wants to talk about market power I think that would be great! (Though not as an explanation for this case.)

Indeed, I said I thought he was ignorant of economics in part bc he brought up this weird “capital as power” thing which has nothing to do (AFAICT) with actual market power as we understand it.

Furthermore, in this particular case I think you get a much better, more direct explanation of Google’s behavior vis-a-vis its acquisition of Motorola via intellectual property and patent litigation than via market power, let alone via “capital as power”.
If we're just thinking incentives, why have one highly lucrative, domestic business, when you could have several?

A lot of the anti-trust breakups result in several good businesses and maybe some competition/consumer benefits too.
Sure they don't care. But that means they don't care.

If you tried to sell a PC with Linux on it at Walmart in the year 2000, people would return it because it wouldn't natively run Microsoft Outlook or Starcraft.

If in a few years from now you're on webmail regardless and it can run every game on Steam, there is no reason to return it. And it costs less by the amount of a Windows license, so there is a reason to buy it.
Capable and able are not the same. You can start collecting that data right now. It's also not a particularly complex task to collect information about people's habits.

I'm not capable of running a mile in 4minutes, that's not unfair for me to loose to someone that trained hard to be able to run that mile in 4 minutes.
> "conspiracy theories ... with the hidden intention to exterminate part of the population" .. "sterilizing vaccine"

walterbell didn't use the phrase "sterilizing vaccine." You did. He was talking about "non-sterilizing vaccines" which has a certain meaning in the context of vaccines and the spread of infectious diseases.

That said, I can understand the fear among some people that the pandemic and the vaccine are being used as tools of population extermination. Coercive population control strategies have been used in different parts of the world for a long time. China is using them against the Uyghurs today. Malthusians and groups that advocate aggressive population control strategies exist even today.

In early 20th century America, different groups and people across political lines supported the idea of eugenics for different reasons. This included progressives like Margaret Sanger, founder of the abortionist organization Planned Parenthood. The concept and practice became distasteful only around the time the Nazis adopted it with vigor.

> The one you want

Are the ones I linked to. Anyone who is aware of the concept of sterilization as applied to medical instruments and other daily use objects as well as reproductive systems of humans and animals can understand what the word means in relation to vaccines.

This is why I don't have a high opinion of "science-worshipers." They mistakenly believe that unless you use the technical term "neutralizing antibody," you are an idiot who does not understand how vaccines work.
Except white men have historically and continue to oppress women and people of color. Black/Japanese/Chinese/Albinos have never oppressed white men in America. That's the huge difference you are (very purposely) missing.
There was a similar concept with a similar name at the same time in jazz music:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheets_of_sound

Sheets of sound was more an consequence of Coltrane's unique style and technical skillset, but this article does make me wonder if both concepts were to some extent outgrowths of the technology at the time.

There are several different kinds of pressure-treated wood.

The old bad stuff is CCA, which uses arsenic. It's been restricted (in the US) for about two decades, though still available for some applications. Home Depot does not carry it.

The newer stuff is ACQ (several types) which are Al and Cu-based. Not considered toxic by the EPA, however some people (including myself) are still not comfortable using it for, e.g. garden beds.

Sawdust of all woods is considered an irritant, toxic, and a possible carcinogen.

Work outside, and/or use good dust collection. Always wear a dust mask.
I have thought of this; thought not unto 500 years but more like -- so my kids can just keep to somewhere to read. My thought process was to start with as much simplification as possible -- plain text. While you are still able to maintain that, perhaps write in something like Markdown -- plain text enough with the formatting enough to separate the sections/content.

Use a tool to convert those to HTML, which can be hosted anywhere or be just drag-n-drop in future once you are no longer maintaining/updating it.

My bet is that plain-text will survive any digital changes, so will HTML.

Just make sure there is someone to take to the next step after you. But it really fizzles out after that, well, individually we are not important enough to be of much trouble to anyone for this.

I started my journey recently and is, I would like to believe, just the beginning and I tried writing it down for my personal website which is 20+ years old and surviving -- https://brajeshwar.com/2021/brajeshwar.com-2021/
Yeah but it gets tiresome when leftists never bother themselves with any form of practical solutions of even a path forward, always just point out that things are not perfect, and then hint at some vague ideal. What's the point of instigating and persuading people on such grounds, I don't understand
I think Bitcoin is the safer option, since the history is more likely to be retained for historic reasons and it is smaller. Ethereum just has a lot more stuff running on it and the chain is much larger.
> There is also the danger of overcapacity destroying any profitability in the fab business altogether - guess who will get bailed out by the US government if that happens; hint: not TSMC.

The boom/bust cycle is nothing new in semiconductors. It's a fairly regular thing. Also, keep in mind that consolidating and repositioning during downturns is how TSMC became TSMC.

100% with you. I don't like it, and I'm not condoning a "let it slide attitude". I protest, I vote for reform, I get peppersprayed, I worry when cops drive behind me that my face popped up on some alt-right hit list for going to protests...
The other approach is to remove the transaction system. Make bitcoin trivially traceable (or drive it out of existence entirely) and it becomes much more difficult to handle the ransom payments, and thus, to profit from the operation.
That may be the answer for the durability of the medium but, I think, it is a red herring for the scenario described here and loses sight of crucial aspects:

(1) The data must be easily retrievable. Any custom solution will be too expensive to produce then read, and so will be any solution that does not evolve over time. It's already not simple to read a 40 year old obsolete medium...

(2) Once the data have been retrieved they must also be easily interpreted. I have no idea how easily it will be to interpret a 500 year old data format. For instance, anything can display a JPEG file today, but what about in 500, let alone 100 years? JPEG did not exist only 30 years ago, MP4 was released 20 years ago this year. This is a blip compared to 500 years.

So if the aim is archaeological and the intended recipients are a bunch of future PhDs in well-funded universities then maybe. But if they aim is to have the data readily available for an average person then both the medium and the data format must evolve over time and the most standard medium is probably the best choice for each technological generation. Even the instructions and the language they are written in must evolve over time.

You do need to hope that your descendants will keep at it over time.
And the saddest part is that this precarious situation is basically what is saving us from an effective Blink monoculture. Firefox Market share keeps slowly going down on desktop and is almost negligible on android.
For me it would be sales and the "business" side of things. And perhaps some domain expertise. I can do design competently enough to make it work (I do most the design work at my current company despite nominally being the lead software engineer).

The problem I have is that I have no idea how one would go about evaluating someones capability at that skillset.

Credit for what? India already had one of the largest vaccination programs in the world.

American society created this situation because of its obtuse laws, which give anyone the power to carry guns. In this scenario, police is also forced to have guns and to assume that anyone can have a gun. It is a spiral to hell.
I like having both. I use fugitive in vim which is great for partial staging, blaming, and committing (and status). Almost everything else I do on the command line. I will also commit from the command if I already happen to be there. The one thing fugitive is indispensable for is looking at a file on a different branch right in the editor.
I'm trying to think of a situation where this is objectively bad, and I having trouble thinking of areas where this is objectively bad. The best I came up with is purchasing an elevator, which has a key for firemen. I wouldn't really want to just give everybody a copy of that key. But on the other hand, you can buy that key on Amazon for $5. It would maybe help people think about security a bit more if they bought a TSA-approved lock and it came with a TSA key with a little warning that read "Note: this key opens any TSA-approved locks, please only open your own baggage."

One possibility is around DNS. A public/private keypair is basically a lock and a key. If you can't put ANY public keys on my device without giving me the private key, HTTPS is going to be problematic. Software updates become a little scarier as well, since a man-in-the-middle attack becomes MUCH easier to pull off. But perhaps the answer there is, like DNS on a desktop computer, to simply allow the user to edit those local keys. As long as there's a "Yes, I am also cool with installing unsigned software updates," then I don't see a problem.
Agree. Almost all the discourse I see on this topic is really just a band-aid for what are actually much deeper and systemic problems with global supply chains that are just too damn optimized for JIT and cost-reduction. You can find lots of ink spilled over "MBAs" and "shareholder" or "managerial" capitalism, but functionally in order to fix this we actually have to reorder how industry is situated in the United States.

If there ever was a direct supply chain disruption (intentional or not), the US would be in a much worse spot than we are right now. Everything from semiconductors to nuts and bolts would be a problem (some more than others). There isn't a single issue more important to national security right now.
From TFA:

Truth Social hasn’t officially launched. But users could access a test version of the platform, where many of them created prank accounts that flooded the service with false company announcements and even fake Donald Trump posts. (The platform has since been replaced by a waitlist.) The SFC demands that TMTG offer all these users access to the Truth Social source code. “If they fail to do this within 30 days, their rights and permissions in the software are automatically and permanently terminated,” Kuhn says.
It's all right. According to Hackernews, we need only change our languages to exclude a word for blue, then blue won't exist and we wonpt need blue paint.
100% agree on the braising in the oven vs. crockpot. A crockpot gives you 2 or 3 temp settings, where an oven can give you dozens or hundreds.
Some of that is correct, but patent trolls are only after money. They like to settle quickly for a fairly small amount, and move on. An effective counter-strategy is to resist them (with IPRs, especially) because that ties up their resources.

As for big companies suing smaller ones: citations (in the mobile space), please?
I don't have a source for this, but I think I remember reading a long time ago that Swartz also downloaded and released a significant amount of WestLaw legal documents.

A few years ago I was looking for state law databases and came across a blog post by a professor (at Stanford I believe) discussing S3 buckets with state law databases. I couldn't figure out how to access it, so I emailed the professor and he gave me a link to a site called Public Resource Law or Free Public law or something ( domain was public.law.resource or resource.law or something like that). Anyway it had huge zip files (< 100 GB) for all federal law and all law for all 50 states (opinions, statutes, rules, regulations, jury instructions etc). I played around with the data and found WestLaw editors notes in several of the documents, making me think this was part of Swartz's WestLaw data dump. The data dump was taken down roughly a year after I found it.

I think this data dump is also what courtlistener.com is built on, because courtlistener.com popped up soon after the data dump disappeared from that site.
Which is why I would never enable using my face to unlock my phone.

It's probably the only thing I would ever call an insecurity feature.
"Can be" - yes, technically it can. "Will be" - in most cases it won't, because it's not what the interface is built for and it requires significant additional effort. It's not that it just could be taken out of context, it's that the whole system is optimized for short messages, so taking out of context is the default and preferred mode of operation. It's like owning a gun that by default is always aimed at your foot.

And, no, it's not better, than any blog - having encountered both for years, I can say it's not only "better", it's hugely worse. Tweets are quoted out of context in almost 100% of cases, and in many cases Twitter site actively hinders acquiring context - e.g. by demanding to use an app or log in or such. Even when it doesn't happen, the interface requires effort to acquire context - you need to click around to find the start of the thread and to browse around and to filter unrelated chatter.
Blogs never do that. With a blog, you get the post in one place, comments in different place, and it is optimized for seeing the whole post, not a disjoint bag of random short messages that Twitter is optimized for.

The company is not its workforce. Every individual in the company would like more money for less work, but that's not in the company's best interest. If the company goes under because it's paying too much for too little, the employees can get new jobs elsewhere, whereas any money reinvested into the company will provide virtually no direct benefit to any individual employee. A company's interests can be aligned with employees, indeed typically you want good employee retention and high morale which can only come from creating a company where people want to work, but companies do not exist to maximize employment and employee compensation.
According to the article, a beta version was available and the claim is that users that had access to the beta are entitled to the source.
You'd think. Most career advice I get is you need to jump ship to get an actual pay raise. Maybe stay 3 or 4 years.

Not enough to build up deep knowledge, at least compared to older engineers imo
The SPAC is up almost 1000% in less than 48 hours. I suspect the courts & media will find some way to tear it down.
There's some good stuff in here, but also some bad ideas. The bad ones:

- Bring the military and National Guard container chassis to relieve the ports. That works, unless there's a situation where the military or National Guard need them, in which case it could be catastrophic.

- Force railroads to haul to this one particular new site. First, I kind of bristle at the word "force". That's not how it works in a free country. Second, there is no unused facility available that has the rail bandwidth to handle the traffic level that he's talking about. Third, the containers were intended to go to Dallas (the example he used), not to this new site 100 miles from LA. How and when do they get from there to Dallas?
First, at least in regards to my comment -- that's entirely reductionist. Second, I commented because it's one of the hardest things, in my opinion as an engineer myself, to overcome. You're interpretation of people wanting to seem like someone knows something they don't is at best uncharitable. My comment comes from a place of hopefully being helpful and giving someone a nudge for a thing that is definitely uncomfortable (showing your baby to the world) and showing some sense of camaraderie that a lot of us have been there.
