Technically I think you’re correct, but it’s a different form of slavery that isn’t nearly as bad as the slavery that was eliminated by the 13th amendment.

For example, the children of prisoners aren’t owned property to be sold and traded.
Link Between Pornography and Depression
Although pornography is not morally unacceptable, it is common for some people to suffer from low mood. Some research has shown that it can cause depressive symptoms, as well as affect your relationship. But it is still not clear why pornography can trigger depression. In this article, we'll discuss the psychological aspects of pornography and how to cope with your addiction. Also, we'll discuss the psychological effects of pornography on relationships.
I'd say a bit sad more than hilarious, sad for modern times I mean... you have an easily accessible, curated, well-thought and organized doc base where you could learn a lot more other than solving your little problem at hand, but you still resort to subpar answers on a qa website
So somewhat related, I cant find a half decent crystal radio kit on Amazon. Makes me really sad considering how dominant Amazon is.

I got one as a gift when I was maybe 7 years old. Making that radio with my mom, from essentially wires and the crystal and then hearing music through that little piezo ear piece might have been the most wondrous experiences of my life. Like, my family isn’t religious at all and as an adult I’ve come to identify as a materialist, but that… that was the closest thing I can think of to a religious experience. I assembled wires such that they produced sound sent invisibly through the air by other people, and because of the way it is sent it’s completely passive and requires no batteries. Absolutely mind-blowing experience for me as kid.

The first time I interviewed for Google, I went through a couple rounds and, then, the recruiter vanished. I tried to reach out a couple times over the next couple months, and had regular chats with another googler who's a dear friend of mine, and, when they finally decided to move on with it, the position was closed because it stayed open for too long.

My friend apologized profusely, said she felt deeply ashamed, that that wasn't the Google way of doing it. Quite frankly, I was OK. I was never very invested in becoming a googler, as cool as it was at the time (not that it isn't now, but it was cooler back then).

How to Test the Image Quality of a Monitor
not being too slow and "squeeze every last drop of performance possible" is not really the same, and the latter is an expensive tradeoff to make.
I had an 800XL myself <3. Because my parents couldn't afford the more popular commodore 64 here. The commodore had a 6510 by the way but it was almost the same.

The display list interrupt was indeed really cool, combining different strips of video modes. The one thing I did miss was combining different text colours on the same line. The commodore could do this, the Atari couldn't.

The acting is superb, I really have not seen a single actor fail to deliver. They are all shocked beyond reason given the circumstances. It's like watching what would happen in real life.

It has high realism precisely because not everyone believes in a dog eat dog world. There are those that sacrifice themselves to save someone else. The immigrant that believes he is inferior simply because he came to the land and you have genuine human elements come to the surface even in the brutal world.

It doesn't lose a second on pointless discussions. It just starts strong and goes on and on until the very end. Substance all the way through. It's not just gore for the sake of gore or for shock value.
Moderna boss says vaccines likely no match for Omicron
These stories don't really make sense to me though, why are single elderly people living in the home that housed their whole family with children, now that the children have moved out? Shouldn't a family home be used for a family? And shouldn't prime location housing in the middle of big cities be used for the people that contribute most and are most needed there?

I think it's perfectly normal for a single senior citizen to "move over" and let another family take over their family home, while they downsize to an apartment, or relocate to a different location, since they are not required by work to live there.

I don't understand where this sentiment comes from, that a person should live in the same home their whole life, and once you have moved into a home it becomes someone else's problem to make sure you stay there the rest of your life, regardless of money and income? That is really unrealistic and obviously an incredibly inefficient use of resources.

I'm getting really tired of the fact that the boomers are the richest group of people in society, by far, and still the ones who are the most entitled and complaining. They already get hugely compensated for "having to move" by cashing out on the old houses, so what's the problem?

Edit: That's the whole purpose of the real estate tax, to avoid people hoarding big houses that they don't need. It's just working as intended.

Do screwdrivers typically have cords? And if so, what for?
The Ataris had Player-Missile graphics, sort of like sprites that were specially/easily handled. I seem to recall that there was one player (16px wide x screen height) and 4 missiles(4 px wide x screen height) that could be cheaply moved back and forth across the screen. There was some collision detection between them and other things that were on the screen.

The Apples had several graphics modes, many of which were strange and somewhat pointless on a green screen (yay for some colors in even columns, some in odd), but nothing special to accelerate games IIRC. On the other hand, they had a lot more memory and they felt about a generation ahead. The 800 seemed like an advanced 2600, but the Apple felt like a real computer.

However, speaking of generations ahead -- the Atari 400 beat the 2016 MBP to the punch in the horrible flat keyboard race.
I'm struggling to find out how it actually updates the DOM. The way that re-rendering happens is clear but it looks like the top-level function just returns a JSX.Element. There is no explanation how this is efficiently rendered.

Also how are mid-level invalidations handled? For example if I update a list to remove one element do the other elements get re-rendered or are they cached?

It might be because I am browsing the docs in mobile but I find them hard to navigate.

I was an entrepreneur for 10 years. I would have made more in a job. Eventually I realized I am better off creating value for others and earn a lot more. Hung up the entrepreneurial boots and life has good since. Some people can make it, some can't.
Worse yet, at some point the manufacturer has rebranded as "WD-40 Company" and started to also sell actual lubricants under that brand name. So whenever someone says "don't use WD-40 as a lube" some person will show up objecting "I use some WD-40 lubes and they are fine, thank you very much"

Decentralization is good, but there's no need to bring cryptojunk into the discussion since that's far from decentralized. IMHO.

The whole thing is about maintaining anticipation of the next horror, which it does really well. Also it’s a complete dystopia which is always a good thing to have around as it keeps reality in check. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Also to reflect other comments the acting and the whole imagery was excellent.

My personal experience has been that companies who give signing bonuses usually have retention issues and the bonus has to be paid back if you leave within a year. At least that was the experience when I graduated college. After becoming an experienced hire I haven’t been offered one.
Hasura supports authentication and ACLs with the builtin PostgreSQL user system. And we use Kratos (from the ory.sh ecosystem) for OAuth.

It supports PostgreSQL triggers, and webhooks so you can implement your own business logic.

Hasura is open source and provide way more features than postgraphile. IIRC, their SaaS offering includes a PostgreSQL.

It's a wonderful piece of technology that covers 95% of your needs. They also provide a complete docker-compose so you can start tinkering with it on your dev host.
nah, I don't buy this. Education matters. Let the folks educate on how to spin up their own website on a VPS. Let folks educate how to subscribe via rss or websub and get notifications. Let folks educate how to add "donate me" button on their website.

Instead, people are educated on how to use useless NFT's and how to burn their time trading air on binance. Web3.0 is the definition of vanity.

All of the tools required for freedom are there. You just need to have the honesty and willingness to use them. Instead everybody waits for some web3.0 magic, which will make everybody rich.

Edit: typos
The pixel density difference is about 30%. With careful close observation, you can easily see the pixels in each one. The monitor has smooth solid colors. The Iiyama looks more like it's a native 1920px wide with some 'interesting' pixel layouts for more dynamic range. It looks like complete crap with things like window titles, the MacOS blue highlight, and other gradients.
Still no Raspberry Pi images, though. Massive missed opportunity, I think.
More like, know when to apply Clojure and when to apply Rust.

Having written a ClojureScript app with a Rust/WASM component, for me it's very clear that they have different strengths that can be complementary.

That the author dropped CLJS along with React is fair enough, in my opinion. The CLJS ecosystem is pretty React-centric.
Meritocracy is definitely under attack. Another Netflix show with a similar message is “3%”.
>Just hire an administrator that's competent

The idea that this sort of thing is easy is precisely why most startups fail. Sure the ideas and tech and implementation are hard, but that happens to be what most of us are good at. But guess what? The administration of the business is also hard (harder?).

This is just the inverse thought process of a couple of business students with an app idea for which they plan on outsourcing the programming for $5 an hour. It's a simple app, no problem!
So the solution to people working for a boss and not themselves is to hire people to work for you?
Correct, HOWEVER, since these employees also broke other more explicit rules in the employee handbook, then the more specific rules will apply, not the incredibly-vague-obviously-not-a-carte-blanche-to-do-whatever-you-want clause.
PostgREST is used inside every Supabase project. We have >50K projects now[0], some of them making (tens of) millions of API requests through PostgREST daily.

The issue with GDPR is right to erasure, which is tricky in conventional systems. But in ES systems, naively implemented, it is not possible. If you are writing PII in plain text, an immutable log won't let you remove it. OTOH I have two options: store PII in a separate database, and just delete or nullify when requested; or use per-user encryption, and delete the key.

And I guess they also made huge amounts of money selling their homes in town, and now live in houses much bigger outside of town... Or if they were renting, they were taking a risk to begin with and can't really expect that work/life-balance opportunity to exist unchanged forever.

> That seems like a 'you' kind of problem. Maybe you should rethink your assumptions when you assumptions lead to incredibly nonsensical outcome.

This appears to be a ‘you’ problem as well. You have your biases. They have theirs. To say only one person’s views lead to nonsensical outcome is a biased view.

> Are you saying he want to lower the worth of SpaceX so he can buy more of it? Can you show that he actually did that?

They didn’t say this. They wrote a vaguer statement. You jumped in and assumed a lot.
Normal users are also not the ones primarily expected to read release notes for release candidates for the Peertube server software. Sharepoint is arguably a good comparison: run by administrators for users - it's just that peertube is more interesting to nerds that are both in one (although I'm sure there's some folks with sharepoint at home...).
Horrible though it is, you need to include all the Opengraph tags for Facebook and Twitter, as a) thats how the preview cards are built when sharing over social media, and b) google uses them as good SEO markers.

Google have also said in the past, they don't use the 'keywords' meta tag for SEO anymore, due the abuse it gets.
Exactly.

If payments / incentives are required, then Bitcoin can be used. For example, there's decentralized Sphinx Chat which runs on the Bitcoin lightning network: https://sphinx.chat

I haven't seen any of the 'cryptojunk' tokens implement an actual service like the Sphinx chat, which is quite telling in my opinion.
The issue is that they used their own interpretation of "don't be evil", even when the company TOLD them that certain things were not evil.

The phrase is meant to be a catch-all against policies that are not specified - not a carte-blanche to do whatever the F you want in contradiction of what the company is telling you.
>What analysis of elites doesn't include reference to Rupert Murdoch and Charles Koch?

Analysis is a bit generous. It's a retread of some pretty stale ideas. It's flagship idea is a redefinition of the word elite to include "even a college degree holder working at Starbucks".

He doesn't outright say it because it's so transparently self serving but it's very obviously painted.

Rupert Murdoch and Charles Koch would approve.

It's a reactionary piece designed to protect and promote elite power by, in essence, rhetorically disguising it.

It mirrors somewhat the way that "boomer" has cleverly been positioned as a sponge for the post-occupy fury directed at the 1%.
State of iOS in-app subscriptions 2021: analytics and benchmarks
The points about centralized power make sense, but why http, smtp, and social media became centralized in the first place wasn’t grappled with at all.

Running your own servers is attractive for some, but they aren’t the majority and never will be unless it requires something as simple as buying a $35 box and plugging it in at home with no additional setup. Social media is hard to accomplish without a centralized discovery server. See Torrents before they figured out a mechanism or Matrix.

The author didn’t address these forces driving web content to centralized platforms, and web3 isn’t likely to avoid the same incentive structure from what I can tell. Bitcoin and Ethereum both have significant centralization problems for how people use them. More wallets are in Coinbase and other central providers than are run privately. Mining power is centralized among a small population as well. Even current crypto is driving toward centralization to get new people onto the technology, so how do you prevent it in web3?
Even the official client has been buffering heavily on iOS for the last two days. No idea what's going on, but I'm getting RealPlayer flashbacks.
Agree, the way it’s presented will pretty much guarantee nobody but hardcore nerds will ever use it, it’s sad that noble efforts hobble themselves in this way.

I mean isn’t it ironic that PeerTube doesn’t use a PeerTube video to introduce its new features? Guess their team thinks their own product isn’t a good way of consuming interesting information…
> I don’t think imprisonment is slavery

Imprisonment is not slavery.

Penal slavery was very much a thing in much of the US for quite a while after the civil war (the federal government has since taken statutory and administrative steps to eliminate it, and may or may not have generally succeeded depending on exactly how you bound the term, but previously penal slavery in the US differed from chattel slavery only in that it had (often extremely corrupt) criminal conviction as an entry gate. And while penal slavery itself has been mitigated and arguably eliminated as a deliberate state practice (rather than an aberrant corruption of individual officials) subsequently (though still Constitutionally permitted) a whole lot of the over-criminalization and police and correctional culture built originally around the institution remains.
"It seems the only way to protect against theft is to ride an old bicycle."

Or move to the countryside, where you can usually leave your bike unlocked outside of the supermarket ...

And reading all the bike theft horror stories here, I was wondering, why GPS tracking is not more of a thing? It seems to exist, but might be hard to make use of in reality?

(because professionals jam them or remove them and the police is not too eager to do something about a stolen bike?)
The point of a motto like this is to provide guidance when there's no specific company guidance.

When the company publicly says they will do business with China, the vague motto doesn't allow you to refuse to do you job.

> Patrick has proactively told me when wanting to build competitive products, even when he didn't have to (very positive sum thinking).

I used to get very frustrated at a previous job (realestate.com.au) that they would treat their main competitor in such a venomous way.

If the features looked similar then they 'copied' if they launched a feature first then denigrate it until you can launch the same feature. There are only so many ways you can do a real estate (car, job) ad portal. Especially if you're following best practice UI/UX guidelines.

I get being competitive, but you can be competitive and still be civil. Making the other company to be an arch-villain is such small-minded zero-sum thinking.

Sadly there were also many things where they could have worked on collaboratively to make everyone's lives better (e.g. Rental standards and processes), but this is impossible when you frame the competitor in such a negative way.
This seems like only the first step of many to make something usable in a film... Like what about handling side views of faces? How do you remove the background and blend it into the actual scene? What when the character walks through a shadow and if falls unevenly over part of the face? How about characters interacting (kissing etc)? What about actions like 'putting on lipstick'?
Or just a cash bonus? That was always my take. No I don’t want a gift basket or “special” year end party, just give me cash.

Squid Game has its origin battle royale genre, in which you are ultimately competing with everyone.

While Gantz rewards only individual players, it is not a battle royale. Teammwork is basically essential for survival.
As I write in my edit, I do not know what the word “value” really means, so but if we replace it with utility, then we see that we pay prices based on the options we have, not based on the utility it gives us.

For example, paying $0.02 per gallon for clean, potable water, which surely one can agree has extremely high utility since it allows us to survive. But also paying $100 for a Christmas tree, which has lower utility. This is because we can get water for cheaper and the lowest price for the Christmas tree we could find was $100, but if water stopped being available for $0.02, then you bet people would pay $100 and even $1,000 for a gallon of water.

Does that mean water started having more utility? Not according to the definition economics used. Whether or not water became more valuable depends on how you are using the word value, so that is why I think it is not really a good word for discussions of how prices are determined.

You can sell a service to a business that is crucial to their continued operations all day long, but if someone else is willing to sell to them for less, then do not expect to get paid based on how “valuable” you are to the buyer.
Author of this article simply made very good photo of bicycle theft.
