The cost for many of those parts and if they're glued will give you problems with reassembly.
The difference is that governments can use this to harm competition of other politicians or parties. Moderators flagging hate speech is not politically driven (ideally), and is "just" for the benefit of the community, not a politician.
Exactly my thinking as well. Mandates (and other forms of "encouragement") should be by BMI, age, and comorbidities. I'd be covered by a mandate myself, if one existed: high BMI, (treated) high blood pressure, haven't had COVID (yet, that I know of). That's why I chose to vaccinate myself and that's also why my wife chose to vaccinate. I don't have to do it, I'm self employed, I've done it voluntarily. Moreover, if it were required at the time, in early May, I would not do it at all. Instead we've chosen the most idiotic criteria available - whether or not you work for (or with) the federal government, or whether your employer is woke enough. Google, for example, is woke enough: it even requires vax for _remote_ employees.

Another utterly idiotic thing is that we're not considering 190 million people who are already immune by having had COVID.

For kids or healthy younger adults, looking at the stats, I just don't see the need at all. Feel free to persuade me otherwise, but with data, not sermons or "mandates".

My 17 y/o son who is healthy, and has no comorbidities, won't be getting the vaccine unless he himself decides to get it. I told him we will support him whichever way he chooses, but if he is harmed by vaccintation, he will have no legal recourse, which is true. I'm not sure he understands what that means. For us that could mean up to several hundred thousand dollars in hospital costs, and potentially the loss of the only child.

I just don't think a little over 2800 kids in the 5-11 y/o trial, _none of which got severe disease_ is a sufficient indication of anything, let alone long term safety. Sounds to me like the only person who abstained from the FDA vote [1] concurs, and the rest just don't have the balls to say what needs to be said. They literally said "we won't know if it's safe until we start giving it". I'm sorry, I'm not willing to take that chance. That's for kids 5-11, but I think the reasoning holds for young adults as well. I didn't raise him for 17 years just so someone at Pfizer could make 30 bucks by giving him myocarditis with zero legal consequences.

They got huge heat for this—and rightly so. Ginger Labs has since granted full grandfathering. From their blog:

Everyone who purchased Notability prior to our switch to subscription on November 1st, 2021 will have lifetime access to all existing features and any content previously purchased in the app.

https://notability.medium.com/updates-to-notability-11-0-sub...

Really quite the jerk move in the first place, since I don’t think Ginger Labs incurs any cost from hosting (all managed through iCloud) or the ML features (on-device).

They just lost like all their good will however. Someone’s getting fired for this.
In a sense you are right, but it is VERY easy to get yourself accustomed to larger portions. I would have absolutely no problem eating a 1000 calorie dinner, even a 1500 calorie dinner. Carbs and dairy are very easy to eat a lot of without noticing.

Your body is incredible at adapting, and it's happy as pie to adapt to a high calorie diet. A few months ago I started calorie counting rigorously and was shocked at how many calories I was casually consuming in what I felt was a normal diet.

The easiest switch I made (and I acknowledge it's not for everyone) is having precisely the same breakfast and lunch every weekday which is a 300 calorie breakfast and 500 calorie lunch. Only one milky coffee per day (in Australia coffee is often made with all milk, no water).

If you come home from work having eaten 800 calories then it's no great hardship to keep within 1000 calories in the evening. But if you've had 1500 calories before 5pm you're stuffed.

Your local bank can only "print" the money because that amount of money is in its account at the Fed. It's the Fed that's actually creating the money.
Hey Robbie-

I am touched you saved my email and remembered me, and that at the time you didn't respond negatively to the message. Thank you for being a customer.

The only thing I regret is that comment about version number of 2.3.1 and the claim that it would run flawlessly for a decade. Oh geez, please upgrade to 8.0.1, you won't regret it.

I'll ask to update the release note.
It is a very nice app if it fits your workflow, give it a try, it changes the way you write. You can make tons of short stories, but I am going to try manuskript instead since I have linux, its got a very nice interface.
No way of proving mRNA vaccines are safe long term
What I’ve noticed in this cycle is that as the turn over continues, the employee skill level will trend downwards. Essentially in a sort of ironic-Darwinian-gone-wrong, the system selects for those that will stay and/or don’t care or are desperate enough for work (because of geographical allegiance of low hireability, or just low initiative to make a change).

I fear my current workplace that was so cool years ago is showing these signs.
Was this video ever used by Google for anything outside of internal before now? I swear I’ve seen this before (it’s still hilarious!) but I never worked at Google.
Just a heads up - adding your email allows the admins to see it, but not other users. You'll have to add it to the description so I can see it!
So the idea is that eventually real work will be done, likely by adding more functions. The class provides a nice encapsulation for that future work.

They used to be open. Cambridge Analytica came along and congress made them decide open was a liability. Sure they were starting to close down before congress, but now they're sure as hell not opening up.
I am a not a native speaker but Google Dictionary says this:

Heap: "an untidy collection of objects placed haphazardly on top of each other".
Example: "a heap of cardboard boxes"

This makes sense as the Unix Heap is just a space containing a random collection of objects with random sizes.

Bullshit I listened to Joe religiously until 2018, like every day he put out a podcast. I realized around that time that he was beating a strawman about “crazy” democrats while promoting a trove of right wingers and disinformation. He couldn’t go an episode without bringing up how some tumbler person thinks there’s (n+1) genders and when he did bring on a “democrat” it was someone like Abby Martin or Tulsi Gabbard who hates the Democratic Party. With this, combined with the cringe ass “intellectual dark web” bs, it became increasingly obvious that Joe Rogan wasn’t some moderate but instead that he was pretending to be one while pushing a right wing narrative to his viewers under the guise of “just asking questions” and “how do I know I disagree until I talked to them?”

Your accusation is typical of Rogan fans who want to shutdown any criticism of his very obvious grifter status.
Why? If you total your car, do you feel bad that the insurance company paid $35k for a brand new car? Surely, you have not paid $35k in premiums.

Don't ever feel bad for businesses that advertise and then you happen to use the product as intended.

I think of these free-pooling companies in a similar vien as insurance firms. Some customers are very profitable and some are not. But they did the ROI for marketing it as "Unlimited" which brings new customers (again some profitable and others not so much). There is probably a regression equation that models profitability of such a business.
> How do you not see that your thinking is the problem?

I would ask you the same question. Are you so arrogant to assume that the only reason I haven't come around to your way of thinking is because I merely haven't seen the same information that you have? That the only reason why someone wouldn't be a conservative is because they've been brainwashed by the big bad mainstream media?

Every time I have tried to dive into the Conservative-leaning mediasphere to make sure that there isn't some hidden truth I've been missing, I come away more certain than ever that that is not the case. And believe me, I've tried. Why do you assume that I haven't, simply because I still disagree with you?

You are not entitled to having your political beliefs validated by everyone you meet.
Fastmail – Availability Dropping Again

OS/Desktop environment does matter. It is going to be the single biggest thing that competes for resource if you only intend to use the machine for what the OP wants.

Most websites still work OK on slow machines (my travel laptop was one and it could handle 90% of the websites just fine). OS/Desktop env is often the biggest sink. That machine for example would hit 75% CPU on windows 10 just idling which didn't leave enough room for anything else. Wiped it with Ubuntu + Gnome and it went to ~25% CPU usage while idling. Switched to Ubuntu + XFCE less that 3% while idling.

The only website I had a problem with was Patreon.
What do you mean when you say it exhausts the heap? I understand that the stack size is fixed but can't the heap grow unbounded using sbrk till it exhausts the address space?

This no longer exists. You need Twitter in perpetuity. If for some reason you’re banned from Twitter (often there’s no reason at all) there goes an entire career and audience you’ve built for years.

If Facebook bans you because you think vaccines have microchips you don’t lose your income. If Twitter bans you because you said something mean you’re dead.
Your thinking is that there is a hierarchy of capital funds, each one willing to pay more than the last for the same house? And they all hold the houses, pay property tax, etc. despite the houses never generating any revenue due to no one living in them? That doesn't seem like a very realistic perspective on the housing market
Haven't ever seen that myself ever, most people don't care, they just don't want to replace the machine if it still works if that counts, but nobody is using a classic all original parts device or seeks a classic HDD for their old computer. If you present them with a better one though, I bet most would be jumping for joy, but you have to make sure its "better" to them.
I don't know anything about the technical sides of how these services are built, but through a client I do put heavy use to the B2 service and I can tell you there are some differences (backblaze covers some of that here [0]) in the way the services work. I get the feeling some of those are how they're shaving cost.

because the literary culture is going away fast, if it’s not already gone away. When John Updike was in his prime, millions of people read him (or they at last bought Couples and could spit out some light book chat about it on command). The number of writers working today who the educated public, broadly conceived of, might know about is small

I would argue he's missing what's really going on: literary culture hasn't gone away; it's just become personalized. Publishing is so much easier now that people can find authors they truly adore and aren't forced to read anything they don't really like. When I was younger, almost all of the books I read were written by dead people. These days, the books I read are mostly written by living people and I eagerly mark their next release date on my calendar. Nobody I know offline has ever read anything by any of them, and that's ok.
10 years ago, on my first week at Google, my manager suggested I watch this video to get a fairly accurate idea of what the team does :-)
>He's the only person who knows how to release it. The other team didn't communicate until today that a release is necessary.

Also these deployment tasks are quite repetitive, it's a big strain, I can understand your pain. I have managed to automate myself out of this, at my current job: most deployment tasks involve the following steps: Commit the change, open a pull request, wait for the CI build to complete and download the build log, extract an image id from the CI build log, put it in some other repository and commit the change. It is possible to automate the first three steps with the github api (if your shop is using github), I have an example here: https://github.com/MoserMichael/githubapitools . The rest of it is easily scriptable.
Just like how your platlets, ribosomes, mitocondria and other natural classes of biologicals that naturally occur inside you are not proven to be safe.
Meth, when consumed in powdered form (speed), is a popular party drug in Australia, so I wouldn't be surprised. Most MDMA pills seem to have speed in them as well.
When I was in college with a time-sharing system, someone as a joke removed all the keycaps from one of the CRTs. Didn't stop me, I'm a good enough touch typist that I just sat down and started using it.

Good typing skills are a super-power in today's world.

These days in Teams it will tell you when someone's typing. It amazes me how long people need to type just to get a simple point across.
If data is not encrypted with a piece of secret information (usually a password) with enough entropy to keep it secret in the face of offline attacks, then it is as good as not encrypted, period. The hope that your hardware design is sufficiently complex and non-repairable to prevent your attacker from disassembling it and performing such an attack is not a replacement for proper encryption.

And if it is encrypted with a secret with sufficient entropy, then making your hardware design non-repairable serves no reasonable purpose.
A friend used to work ER, any time the computers went down, the backlog in the waiting room would get cleared up. Paper works so much better when you're just trying to save someone's life, and don't know which of the hundreds of different forms you'll eventually have to fill out in the computer.
> A lot of cocaine is meth

Even adding lidocaine to meth is insufficient to disguise it as cocaine. The bite when tasting or snorting meth is immediate and distinct.
Slightly OT, but a lot of products that are launched in multiple regions - Google included - exclude people who live in a country but don't speak the native language.

I work for a company from an English speaking country, and every time I need to reauthenticate with my Google account, it defaults to the native language of the country I'm in. They do have an option to change the language (in native language), but it's weird it defaults to that given I was last logged in with an account that is set to "English (US)" and my computer is set to the same.

Recently a large clothing retailer launched that is available in many other European countries, but it's only possible to use the native language here. It's even the same app, they just see your account is set to this country and only lets you view in that language.
BTW, my client is also in a similar situation where the cost to store our files on S3 is prohibitive to profit on the product, where as.. I can't believe how cheap B2 is.

~ 300 million 10-40MB jpegs, peanuts compared to what S3 was.
I work on an international team and 2 of our devs are based in Nigeria. Nigeria currently suffers from 16% annual inflation and so the people have flocked to crypto as a store of value. Over 20% of the population uses cryptocurrencies. There are many more examples including Venezuela, Iran, the West Bank, and El Salvador.
You can easily limit password attempts by requiring a sufficiently difficult password hashing algorithm and then just use a secure passphrase. Nobody is breaking into my encrypted drives via a guessing attack (other attacks exist, but they ~all also exist on macs).
For what it’s worth I bought a late model AirPort Extreme shortly before they were discontinued and the thing happily chugs along in the upstairs corner of my house where the cable box is at. Other than the far side of the house on the outside where it has to beam through 3 walls I have zero issues with coverage over the entirety of the interior and front/backyard of my suburban house. Never have to reboot it either. It really does “just work” and it’s a shame they discontinued it.
Yet you state he's got a "GOP agenda"? I don't believe you at all. Hes already contracted by Spotify, what you're spewing is more generic anti-Joe smearing that shows me that you never listened to him.

I’m still not fully able to understand how if these processes create elements one atom at a time, that kilograms of the same element can then clump together and settle between rocks.
> But let me export the master key then.

You can do this encryption shindig with the ability to export by not using FileVault and using your own encryption software - Apple just doesn't allow this by default. In fact, why only store it on the computer? Rclone can upload and replicate an encrypted (via a long salt + password) copy of your data to dozens of cloud providers. Your encrypted data could be on 3 cloud providers in 10 physically separate locations on 30 different hard drives at once, possibly even in separate hemispheres. Or chuck it into S3 replication and be in all 81 availability zones if you so wish.
Thing is, though, something equally ridiculous happens at every large company and at more than a few small companies. Worse in government. The important thing is how they react when it's pointed out.
I take issue with the cheap flips. This type of flipping is really only possible in a hot market where inspection contingencies are regularly waved. Cheap flips are basically robbing the community by lowering the quality of the housing stock and leaving future owners with higher maintenance costs. In a more balanced market, these houses would either drop in price or linger on the market until the owner did worthwhile improvements.

Granted plenty of mom and pop flippers are doing cheap flips in this market as well. Zillow was just jumping in on the action at a much larger scale. But if I was king for a day, I think I would pass a law that required inspection contingencies on all residential real estate transactions. And maybe some sort of escrow for undisclosed maintenance issues that occur in the first year or two after the sale.
Any tips or advice for someone who is newly venturing into writing a fairly niche tech substack newsletter?
Playing poker with your hand face up
Consider that many more have internet and a smartphone than a bank account. There are over 1 billion unbanked in the world, many of those have internet and smartphones. You would be surprised at the spread of smartphones amongst the world's poor - much greater than the prevalence of bank accounts with FDIC insurance or the equivalent.
This is definitely happening. A engineer can't really work on anything truly complicated if they hop around every 2-3 years. These types of engineers gain cursory knowledge of topics but never become experts.
> Therefore the metaverse isn’t a replacement for a video games or TV. You would simply watch TV or play a video game while in the metaverse.

Thats the point. The answer to "when do I have time to use the meta verse" is "you have time to watch tv/entertainment, so yo have time to meta verse". Because people think of this as _something added_ to their life, not something augmented.
I don't know anything aboug tcmalloc specifically but if the program is not mapped at 0, then there's space below it as well. The heap can meet the stack using sbrk while memory below where the program is could still be mmapped. This was the case on x86-32 anyway. On x86-64 programs are mapped much lower (on my system anyway.)
Tail end of the graph: looks like the graph approaching 2006.

I'm not really sure where that article gets its data, but the actual price of homes in Houston is low despite a lot of people moving there and the economy thriving. Seems relevant.
> Market makers make a profit by buying things and then reselling them for slightly more.

When a lower middle class guy in your town does this, he’s called a scalper and seen as a villain.

MSX was quite popular in Brazil. A Gradiente Expert was my first computer. We had a disk drive and a monitor, both relatively rare.

I still remember MSX-DOS, which was interesting because it had some CP/M compatibility, and it could run Turbo Pascal and WordStar.

And of course amazing, unforgettable games like Knightmare and Alien 8.
Yeah okay. Your Dave Chappelle comment proves you are arguing in bad faith.

You know I’m right and that he’s a right wing grifter posing as a moderate, that’s why you’re strawmanning about me not “actually have ever listened to him.” I saw through him just as I easily see through you, I’m just upset it took me four years of listening to him everyday before it became obvious.
