Nah. People have always wanted free shit. I once volunteered at an event for fancy people. Occasionally we would put out some moderately cool free shit. I saw a lot people worth millions to hundreds of millions leaping into the scrum for things that they could buy for $50-100.

People wanting free shit is a constant. The problem is how we channel that desire, which is very much in our control.

That's definitely not vague at all.'Good luck to Gavin', personally i think he's delusional if he expects any success from this,besides further polarizing California.Also this is not a Texas-like law for obvious reasons
Note to author you're arguing with a bronie, so not exactly a cognitively unbiased crowd...

But seriously, this is that businesses are broken and grab a free thing and use it. If businesses were gassing employees because they got free ammonia to clean their buildings we wouldn't be blaming the ammonia producers.

Please, stop blaming tools for the axe wielding by morons users. I'd say educate the users, but we all know thats not gonna change any time soon...

Hardware is cheap, network is reliable. Move fast and break things.

Neither of these assumptions are true, and we're going to have these issues by truckload, until we understand and change our mindset.
What about the Bill of Rights allows States to infringe rights but not the 'federal government'? Your statement makes it sound like the Bill of Rights does not also apply to State governments, and it does. In your view, there are no inalienable rights and as long as a State has a democratic process then the State can dictate whatever it wants for your life.

I have a rare condition related to insulin resistance and diabetes, blood sugar spikes greatly worsen my health.

Discovered that vaccines spike sugar prety significantly after getting my two shots this year. Won't be getting boosters anytime soon as the side effects were gruesome.
That seems like a good compromise. I thought about looking for third party attestation services, but it would be a point in time snapshot and probably prohibitively expensive.

At the end of the day, the code is written in Go (highly reduced attack surface), doesn't need to be exposed to the internet (works fine locally or over a VPN), and functions perfectly fine with outbound internet access blocked (no phoning home or tracking). I built it the way I want self hosted software to work.
I remember using this on Windows and Linux because I hated mono on Linux with keepass, before keepassxc.

I remember it always being behind keepass, and when keepassxc came out immediately started using that, but I'm still sad to see this stopped.

Yes, I'm curious to know more context on why they see miners selling the coins as proof that they are malicious actors trying to keep the price down. The very nature of PoW is that miners typically have high expenses, and need to sell coins to pay their power/hardware bills. To the extent that this hasn't happened in bitcoin, it's because capital is currently cheap enough that some of the big miners prefer to hold the bitcoin and borrow against it to cover expenses.
If I was an IBM employee, I'd probably be a little bit more selective about asserting IBM's historical "Respect for the Individual,"[1] particularly in the context of churlish comparisons of vaccine mandates to the Holocaust.

I don’t recommend this, nor have I tried it: Some people experiment with high doses, like 1-2g, within one day, twice a week. Anecdotal reports of scars fading, but also scary effects like hypocoagulation (won’t stop bleeding). Just internet rumors though, I‘d wait for clinical studies.
And worth stating that the "other side" is the proof of stake participants, who hold the currency and want the price to stay high.

That's a total mischaracterization. It's more of a shot across the bow, a warning along the lines of "you really want to open this Pandora's box?"

A big focus of the Supreme Court arguments was that if the Texas law was allowed to stand, then any constitutional right, especially gun rights that are near and dear to conservatives, could be ignored in this manner, and that was the line of argument that appeared to have the biggest impact on more conservative judges like Kavanagh.

CA doing this is basically a warning to SCOTUS justices that if they allow the Texas law to stand, it's game on.
golden. his bit about the curt richter's "hope" experiment (the one with drowning rats) is very interesting:

> But then there was a talk by some guy who got up and told about experiments which were supposed to be the effect of stress on rats, on their desire to survive or something — on rats. What he had done was — I mean this is what he’d done — he described it in terms of a cylindrical glass tube, but it was a bottle. He took a jar and he put rats in the jar in water, and he screwed the lid on so that they couldn’t quite come up high enough when they were swimming to get a good breath, and they were drowning — hm? And he watched how long it took them to drown, under some kind of circumstance. Now, if that ain’t a kid fiddling around! There was nothing scientifically measured, in the sense that there was some sense to it, except that the rats got very nervous, you see, and they swam faster, or something. It was the most cruel, unnecessary, stupid thing. It was very much — except it wasn’t human beings — like the stupid kind of Nazi experiments in which they don’t exactly know what they’re doing; they’re just experimenting. Huh? It was just like a kid would experiment, God damn it, in drowning rats. It had no real scientific virtue of any kind.

There's not much you can do about fingerprinting though. You can try to limit it in firefox with the resist-fingerprinting option, but that has its limits.
"Ensure you have enough RAM"? If a normal recent laptop might not have enough then the blame definitely goes to VS.

> Your experience is expected for the framework.

This is worded like a defense? But agreeing with OP that the situation is awful?
Yeah reading the articles you posted it’s clear that any amount of public spending is too much for OpenTheBooks. Especially how they point out how much of the school budgets goes to labor costs (labor costs are the largest cost of nearly every organization and business) and how many employees in Dallas ISD and Houston ISD make >$100,000 a year (DISD employees ~22,000 people and HISD ~30,000. Both serve hundreds of thousands of students. So they are just complaining about big numbers. Also DISD already implements the “performance based” pay they suggest. I despise such a system, but the promise is that “if your one of the best teachers, you can actually make $100,000 a year”).

Edit: Also the Teacher Retirement System is basically a massive investment firm. The more money it makes for the teacher pension, the less the public has to kick in to make up for any pension shortfalls. You would presumably want to hire the best of the best. Now if that actually happens is debatable, but you absolutely would not want to cut those salaries to the bone.
All I can see are the open high voltage terminals about 2 feet off the ground. That seems really dangerous, especially if there were ever curious children around.
Handmade Hero is pretty much the perfect project for this. The first few videos go over basic C/C++, but I think in one video you build a Hello World GUI app without using Visual Studio to set up anything, you just call the compiler in a script (initially, Casey used VS as a debugger, which you can do by just asking it to "open" the .exe, but nowadays he uses RemedyBG which is pretty much as useful, and is lightning fast -- costs like 20 bucks).

Look at https://handmadehero.org/ and Previous Episodes, Day 001 and 002. He's creating a game, not a GUI with textboxes and buttons, but much of it is applicable, and there is very purposely no impenetrable "magic" operating behind the scenes.

As for "why is it so complicated?", well... none of the popular 3 OSes or ecosystems are really covering themselves in honor there. I think MS is unique in just how fond of "magic" they are, and there is a lot of boom and bust in their tech stacks, which seems to be mostly driven by their internal structure rather than any kind of rationale. Linux is fond of competition between mutually incomplete alternatives, and constant change even within alternatives. macOS is arguably the most sensible and stable, but it has been about 10 years since I wrote an OS X or iPhone app (weren't called macOS or even iOS back then).
that's the whole issue, people mentioned borland c++ 3 being nicer than emacs, until you need to tweak it :)
> which, sadly, is not GPL-compatible

A lot of even more common open-source licences are not "GPL compatible", mostly because they don't require "copyleft" (which also applies to the NASA license). All approaches have their specific advantages and disadvantages. GPL has disadvantages as well.
Pumped hydro has the problem of "we pretty much can't build more".

As for curtailment-reducing tricks, that's a good argument but IMO not changing the base calculus much - the model is about replacing the base demand power sources, so that we can push the extra into peak. Bigger problem is that scaling down demand is problematic for dealing with underproduction, and also simply missing on power (Thus my preference for billing for dispatchable power generation, then extra peak could be funneled easier into bonus things like green hydrogen for non-storage etc.)
I feel like this is more an issue of people talking past each other rather than having actual differences in opinion.
Sure, but this societal risk should be covered by the federal government, and federal government alone since the federal government is the only one that can print money. Which in its current form is known as Social Security in the US.
Sorted from low to high inflation: Japan, developed, developing, Argentina.
Service-offering related metadata, and its aggregation for operational and billing purposes, is the key differentiator. “Service Engineering” would aptly describe the application layers, with “Infrastructure Engineering” handling the underlying internal provisioning of those applications.

Database management and network specializations also come into play, as well as the datacenter operations themselves (hardware provisioning and replacement, physical connectivity and other infrastructure).

None of this includes the effort required to maintain a public-facing application front-end, though it is possible to access services via an external portal which spans more than one cloud provider.
I think most of the shops drinking the Agile Kool-Aid are following TDD or at least doing lots of testing. You're probably not shipping a DVD to Staples or whatever so a bug won't destroy your business like it used to. There is a bigger risk of creating vaporware. I think it makes sense to release a minimum viable turd and have it get more stable as the project matures.
Can confirm, my grandpa swore by peanut butter.
Do we no longer advise people to maintain emergency funds, etc.? I don't feel comfortable, or maybe the word I am looking for is secure, without at least 6 months of expenses in a savings account.
Not sure there is a silver bullet here other than investing everything 18 months ago.

Cash is at risk of inflation. Bonds are at risk of interest rate increases. Stocks and real estate are looking like they might be overvalued. Crypto... yeah.

Maybe the best alternative is to just spend less time on work and more on leisure + personal/professional development? Skills and memories will be valuable for a while still.
Tl;dr stop voting Peronismo!
I am totally okay with free humans making their own decisions but I don’t want to financially support their decisions. I believe if society collectively pay for someone’s kids schooling or other expenses then society should be able to determine what is ideal number of children and punish (financially) those who take more than their fair share.

The value of any asset is zero if nobody is buying it. If that asset happens to be shares in a company making a profit for example, that means that the risk of nobody wanting to buy it (at any price) is practically non-existent in a real world scenario, sure, but that doesn't mean it has some magical, inherent value disconnected from the market.

By your definition no currency in the world has any fundamental value, so what is then the point of even talking about it when discussing crypto currencies?
It’s not that high. Here’s an official opinion on some usecases that meet the bar and some that don’t: https://ec.europa.eu/justice/article-29/documentation/opinio...

Generally, it matches my expectations. Shopping carts, sessions, and even most user preferences are fine and don’t need a banner. Worst case a small “uses cookies” text next to a language change button is enough.
No, the magic word is "healthy". I said "healthy, acceptable, middle ground". This means learning to say "no" or at least "later, when I have the time".

I have maintained open-source projects myself for about 15 years, and it is completely different from sysadmin alarms. I can do it on my time, and even if with vulnerabilities I do it on the time I have previously allotted for doing it, since my family and my job comes first. And no, I won't dox myself. There, I "just" said "no" to you. That's a healthy way of establishing boundaries.

By the way, feel free to prove that I'm wrong in saying that by pointing to any law that says I have to do otherwise.

And no, just because people have unhealthy behaviours doesn't make it a rule or a law.
It seems so foreign to me that being left handed would be something to disallow.

They might succeed, but that is the price of freedom of speech. The good people in society need to work to oppose these organizations, and use the same transparent data to make the opposite case.

I hope even the dumbest 20% of people can understand that $40k per year is not sufficient pay for almost everywhere in the country, much less Baltimore.

But it is possible for firefighters or teachers or anyone to be overpaid. I have even seen it where the firefighters union (and police unions) have captured local government, and captured DB pensions worth millions of dollars where they walk away at age 45 with a $100k+ per year annuity for the rest of their life.
I am a bit of a noob when it comes to American legal system and also the following of precedence. So let’s say if a small town in Texas decides x is legal or not legal, does that mean the rest of the country has to follow? Or vice versa?

I mean wouldn’t it make more sense to decide a lot of the issues locally as it suits? In that aspect, can someone explain why Supreme Court is even a thing in a functional democracy with representatives making decisions at state/federal levels as appropriate? I can see in a constitutional framework it may be useful to have an unelected body decide to interpret the constitution but other than that it just really looks to me an overreach for unelected individuals to irreversibly decide whether someone I know can have abortion or carry guns
I agree with that statement (not sarcastic)
You can save yourself some headaches by not using transitive dependencies in your Maven builds. This can be enforced with Maven Enforcer. The trade-off is that you will have to clean unused dependencies. This can be tool-assisted with something like: https://github.com/castor-software/depclean/ . You can also enforce dependency version convergence with Maven Enforcer. None of this saves you from "jar hell" directly, but it helps prevent you from unknowingly creating a disaster-in-waiting.
Google gives me: „ We belong to God and to Him we shall return“ when selecting Arabic. I‘m just learning Arabic but I‘m wondering why op wrote it including the pronunciation marks which is very uncommon in daily use. I can imagine that it is a quote from the Quran
It requires python2. Guess there was some red tape involved.
what so far is considered a right

The left is totally sanguine with the idea of removing the right of self defense, which is one of the most ancient and accepted rights in existence.

left leaning people will start advocating for states rights

I would rejoice if that were the case. Unfortunately, the left wouldn't be the left if it weren't hell-bent on amplifying the power of the collective. So while the left will attempt some end-run-around moves here and there in the name of "states' rights", they will never truly embrace the concept.
I'd recommend Americans to buy dollars, but I'm afraid that's not applicable to them
I have done this as well. An abundance of food and water near their nest will keep them from wandering. If you occasionally remove the food you get the bonus of them scouting your house frame for termite larva. If they find even one larva, there will be an army of ants eradicating them within minutes. Ants can go where termite control can not.
There are many imminent aging therapies in clinical trials though or upcoming. Not saying it will reverse it but it may slow it down and compress the morbidity period. Such therapies include the promising Mayo Clinic trial on using large doses of Fisetin to get rid of senescent cells, or similarly Dasatnib + Quercetin, gene therapy like PGC-1a for maintaining muscle mass in older age, epigenetic reprogramming, mTOR inhibitors like Sirolimus or other rapalogues, etc.

So it’s very likely that some of the advances we see today that are still in clinical stage will hit the market in 5 to 15 years.

What is the estimation for the inflation rate in USA in 2022? Again 7% or back to 1%?

If it's going to be 1%, just negotiate a salary increase for this year of 7%, ignore the rest of the tricks, and enjoy your life.

If the expected value is close to 7% again or higher, perhaps it's time to read some tricks, but each country is different. From the article:

> Spend Your Paycheck Right Away

As the article says, "[U.S.] inflation isn’t quite high enough to warrant such a mad pay-day dash,". Even Argentinean inflation is not high enough.

Anyway, we have a bonus salary / 13th anual salary, and my family try to invest it. For example in concentrated laundry soap for one year (not 10 years) Concentrated laundry soap has a nice price/volume ratio and you are going to use it anyway. I also like tuna cans. Frozen chicken is a risk in case of a power outage. Toilette paper has a horrible price/volume ratio. Upgrading the tablet/netbook may be a good idea too.

> Borrow Lots of Money

You must guess correctly the inflation rate of the next years and get a bank that is stupid enough to take a lower interest rate. It's difficult to do it correctly, and remember to read all the fine print because you may get nasty surprises in a few years.

> Negotiate a Pay Raise -- or Two

Yep. The difference is that here all the process is more optimized because it's necessary to do it each year.

> Buy Inflation-Linked Bonds

It may work. For the amount of spare money I have it's not worth the trouble. It's important to get good advice about which bounds to buy and not invest in crap bounds.

> Buy Homes ...

Here most people own their home. Also every 10 years there is a big bank run, banks close and/or the government takes the money. So unless you want to have a very big pile of cash at home like Scrooge McDuck and risk getting robed, buying a house to live or a second house to rent is a good alternative.

> Buy ... Cars

I agree with the article that cars are not a good investment. (Unless your work depends on using the car and you must keep it updated.) A few years ago it was very difficult to invest the pesos in anything, for example you could buy a only a small amount of dollars, and perhaps the amount was not big enough to buy a house. So some people just bought a nice car. The value of the car and the cash will be reduced each year, but at least you can enjoy your car. (I don't have a car and I prefer not to have one, but each one has different preferences.)
I can see you subscribe to modern monetary theory and believe that central bankers and their ability to freely print money without limit are essential to a functioning modern economy.

Further, I see that you don’t share my concerns about increasing inflation. In your eyes, if economists can predict inflation we don’t actually need to prevent or stop inflation.

In my mind inflation is theft by central powers, stealing the most from those with the least leverage (aka the poor and middle class). A 2% annual rate of inflation over a 40 year career will steal 40% of the purchasing power of the wage-earner. We are currently experiencing 6.4% inflation based on official data.
For payments you can look at solutions like Stripe and for auth solutions like acmelogin and keycloak. For hosting there are even credits available for startups from IBM, Azure, AWS and Google Cloud. AWS and Google are most popular with startups. Azure most popular with old companies.

I noticed it helped me in both ping pong, and basketball a lot.

Ping pong just because a right isn’t use to a lefty, and a lefty is use to a righty.

Basketball in pickup games with folks who haven’t played me before, I score a lot of points as they just give me a lane to drive to the left. Then after a couple games the advantage mostly goes away.
Modern non-web tooling has regressed. For example, in 2018 you could download and install Qt and pyqt, make a UI in Qt Designer, run it through pyuic and have a working UI. I'm not sure when it changed but now once you find the installer, get through the Qt account requirement, and actually install, Qt Designer is nowhere to be seen. It may be hidden away in their IDE somewhere now, but I couldn't find it.
> On the same day, the Attacker posted a link to a key that would decrypt files encrypted by the Conti ransomware. [..] Without the decryption key, it is unknown whether systems could have been recovered fully [..] but it is highly likely that the recovery timeframe would have been considerably longer.

Is the implication that they paid the ransom?

The report seems to go out of its way to avoid stating why the attacker posted the decryption key.

Why do you think this would result in a different outcome in Germany?

The language of the new law in Germany is virtually identical to the language of the EU directive.
So why would it be different in Germany versus other countries in the EU that also have to implement the directive?
