Reminds me of when Garth Brooks was pushing for laws that would ban the resale of CDs. After receiving a lot of criticism, he said it wasn't to protect his album sales but to keep struggling artists with a small number of CD sales from having to compete with used CD stores. Of course the odds that any given used CD store would have your favorite obscure band's CD were quite low but they were guaranteed to have all of the Garth Brooks CDs.
US government ineptness? Or US citizen ineptness. It's not the government buying this debt

Now what, the government stops people from trying to make a quick buck on a high risk investments? We can start from stopping Americans from paying 7 figures for digital drawings of monkeys
Unlikely. Current MDM works with just one account on a device, I don't think this will be changing.

Making flying things lightweight is a means to an end, not the goal or a hard requirement. Makani experimented with a wide variety of solutions before settling on their final model. The initial work on soft kites had serious durability issues, IIRC. What they ended up with looks a lot like a very lightweight airplane, for good reason.

[Former Makani software engineer, here. I wasn't involved in the early stuff, or the design trades, but I heard a lot about it.]
Anyone know if this is happening with used cargo vans, e.g. the Amazon-branded delivery vans, or something larger e.g. the smallest Ryder box trucks?

I was considering getting a new or used pickup in the next year or so, but one of those babies would serve me even better.
I used to be able to pick up decent cars (something that needs a little work but runs and drives) for like $500-1000 all day long. Those days are gone. If it runs and drives, you're lucky to get it under $1500-2000.
Love Godot! You're right, sometimes it's just about what clicks.
> They’re wilfully deflating the bubble American policymakers ignored in ‘08.

The Fed was aware of the real estate bubble and tried to deflate it in 07-08. But it's hard to deflate a bubble gradually without triggering a catastrophic downturn.

The Fed played a huge role in triggering the recession. They intended to deflate the housing bubble, but didn't realize it would cause several banks to implode and risk the entire financial system.
"For this study, researchers conducted technical interviews of 48 computer science undergraduates and graduate students."

Ah, the convenience sample problem.
> As always, I’ll be monitoring questions and feedback in the comments below. -Meaghan, TeamYouTube

Let me guess… Except for dissenting or disliking comments?

This move is all about removing users ability to voice disapproval in a simple and effective way when big corporations stumble.

Think PC movie remake-trailers, out of touch YouTube rewind videos, etc.

All heavily disliked, and users were allowed to say that.

I guess only corporate praise is allowed from now on?
As usual it benefits only those who hold property and not the people at the bottom.

A perfect example of equality vs equity. Uber treated everyone equally, but it wasn't equitable.

I feel bad for the drivers. I have kids and I know it takes me longer to get in the car than just an adult. I wish there was a way to indicate in the app "traveling with kids" so the driver could get a bonus for picking me up, which I'd gladly pay for.

But in this case, Uber should still pay the driver the waiting fee but not charge the rider. It should be on Uber to cover this cost of doing business.
Many kids knowingly hit dislike and many kids randomly hit either, to best of my knowledge.
This is incorrect; Reddit still shows downvotes, as well as upvote/downvote ratio, even if you're on the "new" Reddit.

If you're on the old Reddit, some subreddits used CSS to hide the downvote button, which I think is dumb, but you can easily get around that by going to the new Reddit long enough to downvote.
I flagged this because I think that word is extremely sexist and is designed/used to create outrage.

What I got from this is that I could make homemade coal by myself, MAYBE. I don't know if there's any climate on Earth where I could eek out a net energy return on primitive crops.

No, that's just not believable.
YouTube (and Google more generally) are full of people who believe they need to control the public conversation for the public's own good. They've gone to the best schools, lived cosseted lives in safe, sparkly clean neighborhoods, and never had to shower after work instead of before work. They're totally out of touch with what regular people think, yet believe they know better than regular people and have not only a right, but a duty to guide the public conversation in what they see as the right direction.

YouTube people have spent years censoring inconvenient thoughts (e.g. the lab leak hypothesis), juicing rankings in favor of mainstream media, and outright banning their ideological opponents.

If they believe that they're just making the internet less "toxic", it's because they don't differentiate between people with different value systems and monsters to be silenced.

There is zero chance this lately instance of censorship is profit driven. It's yet another favor Google is doing for an establishment that's rapidly losing credibility with the public and control of the narrative.
I think everyone has that. For what it's worth it seems like the path to _not_ doing that involves being fine with doing it. Somehow the 'wanting to have done something this year' causes a sort of anxiety that makes one not do things. I find that when I can release the feeling that I ought to be doing something, or that I'm failing or doing the wrong thing, I... start to desire to do things again and end up happier with the result.

This backwards logic underlies all of 'depression', in my experience. If you have a neurotic need to be something or have done something, that neurotic need can only manifest in 'symbolic action' -- like visibly starting work (only to give up shortly thereafter), or performatively talking about how you're doing something or planning to do it. But neurotic motivation isn't _actual_ motivation. It's only purpose, I think, biologically must be to get you 'near' what you feel like you should be doing, in hopes that that causes it to happen somehow.

When you have a neurotic motivation that's at odds with who you are, or that you don't know how to immediately act on, it causes you to sort of .. shut down. Because you can't immediately become who you 'wish you were', you just do ... nothing, operating in the lowest-energy state, chasing immediate rewards like eating, doing things that are suggested to you, and binging the highest-dopamine rewards like video games or netflix.

When I've realized this about particular 'needs' in the past, I've been able to see the need dissipate, and I suddenly feel much free-r to actually be myself and do things I want to do, which confusingly is more effective at getting to whoever you actually wanted to be anyway. The key is not _needing_ to be that person. If you feel bad about not being something, it just, like, breaks everything in your brain. In the case of TFA: if you feel like you need to be a writer, you sit down and think about writing, but your creativity is broken because you're just operating neurotically. So quit it; don't try to write until you _want_ to.

Related: https://kajsotala.fi/2017/07/how-i-found-fixed-the-root-prob... which is the article that initially got me thinking in ways that got rid of some of the 'neurotic needs' that were making it hard to be freely motivated. Although it feels like I keep finding new problems of this sort, I've definitely fixed a few of them in the past, and somehow once fixed they seem to _stay_ fixed.
That's not really meaningful unless you can change the trolling dynamic as whole, which needs a platform level change.
> I'd spend hours condensing 10 lines of perfectly working code into 1 line of the most concise text possible

Which is also the hardest part of convincing people to use Go for me: "Why can't I just .map()/.filter()/.find()?" followed closely by "Why do I always have to check for errors?"

What is odd to me is that while yes, my Go code is more verbose than my node services - I always end up writing less Go for the same thing.

> If you can't see downvotes on content, there is no way of determining how misleading the content may be.

Really ? There’s always your own evaluation of the content - as well as snopes, comments, other opinions, other media sources
Hahaha - I knew it was only a matter of time.

So many videos the last year has been downvoted severely because people see through all the bullshit being peddled by the mass media.

YouTube has been censoring and removing any content they can that is against the narrative being created by the mass media.

Large news stations have disabled comments on their videos to try and prevent dissent from being publicly viewable. Some of those videos has so many downvotes, it's hilarious to watch how the users are no longer sleeping and instead reacting to the bullshit.

And now, when censoring and disabling comments still can't hide the enormous dissent, they try to remove even the downvote button.

That's where we are in 2021. Pathetic.
PICT was a really weird format. It's a stream of drawing instructions for Apple's old QuickDraw graphics layer. This could include bitmap graphics, but could also include (semi-)vector operations like drawing lines, circular arcs, polygons, or text.
Even if it's the wrong business, someone has to be in it.
Yes, IIRC it's about an 18 byte binary header and then BGRABGRABGRA... or BGRBGRBGR... bytes for uncompressed (there's also an RLE mode, but I never use it). The only real gotchas are the channel ordering and that the image might be flipped top-to-bottom if you're not careful.

These days though, I use tend to use the even simpler PPM format. It uses normal RGB byte ordering from top to bottom, and it's simple enough that I can code a basic writer for it from memory:

fprintf(stream, "P6 %d %d 255\n", width, height);
fwrite(image, 1, height * width * 3, stream);

(Often, I won't even bother opening a file to write to. I'll just emit the image to stdout and then pipe it to Image Magick for display or to convert to a compressed image format for storage.)
I genuinely thought it would spark an interesting discussion about how certain businesses are run, that is related to this article.

Can you please clarify what is wrong with that exactly?

I've been a part of this site for like 10 years, and I think that any site that invites public comments is bound to have controversial topics come up. Further, I do my damn best to be respectful on this website, so your blanket characterization of my comments is unfair.
I understand what's happening (I use this approach myself). I'm only wondering about if the strike-through recognition idea makes sense.
People are concerned about this because of 2 reasons:
(1) to see what the PRC does to contain the risk (it looks like they have contained the majority of the risk and forced the executives to pay from their own wealth [smart signaling])
(2) Broader narrative of concern around contagion effects from a Chinese real estate collapse and from a global media perspective its a great FUD similar to wall street financial collapse in the aughts on the surface but once you look deeper not similar at all. Theres always interest to see if a house of cards is about to fall. Also this sells newspaper / clickthrough ad dollars.

It's important to watch but the ripple effects on this look to be small and likely to be contained in China.
Of course, governors are free to pass such bills in their own states, without pressuring anyone else to do it. And in the case of your two fine examples, if they aren't, why aren't they? (Like CPPA.)

The key word in this title is not "bill", but rather "funding". That is, they could subsidize the industry in their own states without any involvement from U.S. lawmakers, but instead choose to ask for outside money.
Mark Levine had some good thoughts on this situation, and it really does seem to encapsulate the entire Chinese "free market" experiment in a single entity. I hope that market regulators all around the planet are paying attention to the challenges of trying to "control" market movements in order to promote an agenda (whether it is protecting pension funds or national prestige).

If you've got your "thumb on the scale" as the saying goes, there will always be forces that try to exploit that condition.

Budibase also has a more comprehensive UI builder, internal database, forms, configurable onboarding, free SSO, Kubernetes support, a cloud platform, off the top of my head.
Twitter is pretty clever. Including a crypto in their website means you can pay and receive money with that instead of the usual ones (PayPal, other cryptos, money transference apps), but also means it could be in part a substitute to sites like OnlyFans or Patreon as a way of paying to being able to access some kind of content.

This makes them in the total control of the crypto in what you can sell or buy, what platforms you can use to convert to/from others currencies, at what rate do that conversion, an anonymity layer (like the rest of cryptos), and also some kind of trust to any kind of user because a big, known, and stable company does this instead an unknown guy on the Internet.

I don't know how stable this crypto would be, but I'm pretty sure it would be more used commonly than the rest.
That's kind of my point - I don't understand how you could go about identifying words on screen with a strike-through in the way they described.

I watch a lot of DIY and gardening videos. Occasionally a video gives bad or even dangerous advice and a high dislike ratio can at least indicate that something is off. Comments are also useful to figure out what the creator is doing wrong, but the dislike ratio is a big indicator. This is a terrible move.
Nonsense, Creators have been able to hide their likes and dislikes for years. This is a global change that cannot be opted out of.
Might their be some need to legislate chip allocation?

What would sink GDP more: one year of no new cars, or one year of no new phones? Which would have the greater domino effect on the economy?

Because auto manufacturers are such low margin, they can't buy chips reserved by monopoly businesses. But what happens when people can't afford a new phone because they can't get to work?
While not against state actors, if you're a U.S. resident/citizen, you're still actively being spied on regardless.
I 100% believe that high dislike counts on ideologically favored videos is the real reason. This includes both White House sources and official propaganda regarding Covid-19 and vaccines. (It is undoubtedly propaganda IMO, though note that that does not necessarily make it wrong)

The question to ask is not what reasons could they have done this for, but why did they do it in this particular way at this exact time?
Neoliberalism is an economic policy, it has nothing to do with liberal politics.

Somebody in my town (rural Wisconsin, US) had one (or a reproduction) in their front yard when I was growing up. They had integrated it into a very nice flower garden and iirc it lit up at night with their house number. It certainly made an impression!

Direct, of course not. Circumstantial, sure:

>Google representatives attended White House meetings more than once a week, on average, from the beginning of Obama’s presidency through October 2015. Nearly 250 people have shuttled from government service to Google employment or vice versa over the course of his administration. [...] The government and Google shared engineers, lawyers, scientists, communications specialists, executives, and even board members. Google has achieved a kind of vertical integration with the government: a true public-private partnership. [0]

>MS. PSAKI: Sure. Well, I would say first, it shouldn’t come as any surprise that [The White House is] in regular touch with social media platforms — just like we’re in regular touch with all of you and your media outlets — about areas where we have concern [1]

>So it is possible YouTube removed dislikes it deemed "spam" from videos posted by the White House account, including the Jan. 20 press briefing video. But there is no evidence YouTube deliberately removed authentic dislikes from the video to support the Biden administration or silence critics. [2]

Rivian valued at over $100B after biggest IPO of 2021
As another poster noted, Kia is a particularly good example. I am trying to buy a Kia suv and would normally have thought of it as a mid- to lower-level consumer brand, but there’s insane markups and competition for them right now. The Sorento tends to be marked up $3-8k over msrp in the bay area, and I’ve seen the Telluride marked up $10k+. I went to test drive a Telluride; the first one was bought as I was getting in and the new owner shouted me out of the car, and the salesperson told me to decide whether I wanted the second one before I got back or he’d have it sold. Anecdotal, but he told me that folks who would usually go for a Range Rover like the style, so they’re happy to pay $60k for a marked up Kia versus $100k for whatever else they would have bought.
Any top 10 billionaire could write them a check for the amount owed without even breaking a sweat and thus stave off of billions of dollars of systemic damage. It goes to show how bailouts, despite being maligned by the public, do work.

In the long run China has a lot of power here. This might be a correction in how they set up their economy but I don't think anyone doubts that China is an economic superpower.

The thing is investing in China a foreigner is a complete dice roll where you have no real power and no visibility into what you are investing in.

I see a lot of comments where people are saying this is a killer blow to JAMF but almost every single org has a heterogeneous set of devices (PCs, Macs, iPhones, Androids, etc), so how will this work with that?

4Runners are notorious for holding their resale value well since they're known to be very reliable vehicles that can run 400k miles+ if you take care of them. You can put Land Cruisers in this category too.
The hardware support is pretty good nowadays, and almost everything works out of the box.

There's a few caveats:

* Sound works fine in general, but might be a bit buggy with Bluetooth. If you encounter any issues, installing Pipewire reportedly solves most of them.

* External monitors works fine, as long as you don't mix HiDPI and LoDPI at the same time. In the future, Wayland should fix this.

* HiDPI mostly works, but still requires some config tweaks for a handful of apps.

* Suspend/resume still sucks, mainly due to buggy nVidia/AMD graphics drivers. Only the Intel GPU drivers suspend reliably in my experience.

* WiFi works flawlessly, especially if you're using the Intel WiFi hardware, which is very common on laptops.

* Printing works fine except with Windows-only printers, but they are pretty rare.

* Distros don't really matter that much, but you'd might need to update your kernel if you use an LTS distro with newish hardware. The Ubuntu based distros, e.g. Mint/Ubuntu/Pop!_OS are good options and have the largest user base, so it's easiest to find solutions if you encounter any issue.

* If you just want to test hardware compatibility, I recommend trying Ubuntu 21.10 on a USB stick.

* You'd might want to look at /r/linuxhardware [1] for specific hardware recommendations for your needs. You can also look at the Ubuntu Certified Hardware [2]

I believe the point the OP was making is that Ukraine, like many other countries, exists because there are limits to the actions its larger, stronger neighbour is willing and able to take.

cf Western Sahara. The international community was not interested in preserving Western Sahara as a state, and so now its entire territory is governed by Morocco, save for some tent cities in a corner of desert the Polisario Front clings to mainly because it'd be bad PR for Morocco to wipe them out.
