File permissions, inode number, dates associated with a file are all features of the files, and it's natural to be a part of a directory/file lister.

One can always create separate tools for all the extra functionality in ls, however without the file name, associating all the information would be hard, so if these properties need a file name to be meaningful, why not add it into a single tool?

It's not like ls is changing group/owner, mode, or modifying timestamps or doing filesystem dependent things. It just lists files, with a bunch of extra information, if you want.
Yeah I could see maybe a credit card sort of offering with these rules. I don't think credit cards get that granular level of data however. Then I would only have to commit to only carrying around that card.
This looks great, I submitted a feature request to also show permissions in Octal, which is one of the 'missing features' I've always considered to be present in ls.

It's always bugged me that chmod takes octal, but all of the other tools output a more human readable format, and its up to me to do the mental math in my head to convert - I dont know about you, but I'm bad at doing octal in my head ;-)

Educational spending covers a different set of domains in the US than it does in other countries. There's a lot of backfill in the social services area, for example.
> Is it more of a genetic thing where it makes the pain of responsibility more pleasurable?

To be blunt, assume that the smartest psychologists in the world still don't really understand more than 20% of human behavior or how we think.

Those are the experts, then it's a given that you and I only understand about 20% of what they understand, so 4%.

Assume that all of your reasoning above is based on incorrect assumptions, but that a lot of people become parents and a lot of parents are glad they've become parents and say that this has enriched their lives -- despite this being a grueling experience for years at a time.

There's something incredibly complex going on there and you can not simplify it to an algorithm.

It's possible that they're all hallucinating about it though.

Lastly, just because, think about how little we knew, in general, in 1700, 1800 and 1900. Why do you think that 2021 is any different?
A minor point in here corrected a misconception I didn't realize I held:

> T-cell mechanisms are also crucial, and T-cell data are much harder to come by. Since you don't see the number of papers in that area as you do for antibody profiling, it easy to think that they don't matter as much, but that's not true.

One of my latest memories is the introduction of a test that can be used to test for Corona and flu at the same time. The relevant article headline spoke of a test to distinguish flu from Corona.
This then turned into the antivaxxers saying that previous PCR tests could not distinguish corona from flu.
My understanding is the same. Facebook are providing hosting services to businesses so they can centralise their business WhatsApp messaging in one place.

This means that when a message is decrypted by a recipient, that decryption is taking place within a Facebook service, rather than on an end user device.

Unfortunately, as you say, cynicism is a problem with anything linked to a company like Facebook/Meta that has earned a certain amount of distrust.
It's a strange idea to have to maintain the order of the numbers 0 to N-1 :-)

I don't buy the idea that this is a crisis.

Is it bad that some people have high student loan balances? Yes. But is it so bad that it's a crisis? I don't see why.

These loans generally have generous repayment terms, including income-based repayment, forbearances, etc. And the average balance is about $36k, which happens to be less than the average price of a new car sold in the past few years. A college education for the price of a car -- it's not the end of the world. There will always be some people who borrow too much, but the only way to prevent that is to get rid of loans altogether -- getting rid of Federal loans will simply push students towards private loans which are much worse.

What part of this situation is going to cause an economic crisis?
I’m sure it’s easy to open the AirTag and pierce the speaker.
> but is that the average experience for the typical reporter of a stalking or other similar personal security concern?

In Germany, it is estimated that 300.000 (!) stalking cases happen each year, not even 20.000 get reported to the police - and only 1 % of these (!!!) ends up in a conviction.

Unfortunately, as with all attempts at estimating why crimes are not reported, data is scarce - the general consensus seems to be a mistrust in police and the court system (either that the case gets ignored, that proof is insufficient or that personal data ends up at the offender - I personally was exposed by incompetent cops at court after filing a criminal complaint for racism against a local Nazi, fwiw), and a fear of attackers escalating their behavior.

The flatpak hate gang strikes again. Seriously, more bugs than Wine? For the first time we have a cross-distro packaging system, and I still hear people complaining that the olden days were better. Are you kidding me?

Honestly, I don't even care to entertain this discussion, as for the FIRST TIME in Linux history there is people packaging an application and it works exactly the same everywhere, and some can only meet this achievement by unpaid volunteers with _snark_ because it's not "perfect".

It's tiring to see any effort to make the Linux desktop a reality met with unconstructive opposition from daily Linux desktop users.

Income information on your credit report is self-reported. You will notice that your credit card company asks periodically if your income has changed. That’s where it comes from. It is also non specific, an estimate of total income from all sources not just wages on one job. Perhaps you are independently wealthy with multiple income streams. No one will no the difference.
Ridiculous. People always bring up the secession of the south but a far more accurate corollary would be if the citizens of Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory, decided to formally declared independence and vote to become an autonomous nation from the United States.

I think if you asked the average American living in the continental United States, that they would not care one iota if Puerto Rico suddenly became independent. And frankly it's the same for people living in mainland China - their day-to-day lives would change zero percentage if Taiwan was formally recognized. It's purely a matter of conditioned education delivered as part of the party system.
I'm saying anyone who wanted to do this already could, and Apple's version is worse at being abusive than what they could already do.

If the mutations continue, at some point the mortality rate will likely meet the mortality rate of the seasonal flu. Hopefully we can then compare COVID to the season flu on any large media outlet / platform without being canceled, so that we can accept it as such and not rework our lives a dozen times a year around restrictions.

Schools won't adjust in the way you want them to -- they will start shifting admissions further toward international students (who already pay a lot more than local students) and the outcome will be that rich American kids are the only Americans who get to go to college.

> You don’t pay employment taxes on dividends/distributions, just income taxes

Did you have multiple employees? I think that changes everything, we're talking about a solo business owner in this case.

All profits from a single employee LLC get treated as income tax. Here's a quote from Intuit[0]:

> Single-member LLCs are disregarded entities. A disregarded entity is ignored by the IRS for tax purposes, and the IRS collects the business’s taxes through the owner’s personal tax return. Single-member LLCs do not file a separate business tax return.

This also applies to S-corp election. It's why a few accountants that I've spoken with have suggested that creating an LLC for tax savings as a solo business owner isn't worth it. It just complicates things for no real benefit. You have reduced liabilities but that's separate from saving money on taxes.

As you mentioned it would be a good idea to give yourself a reasonable salary as an LLC employee to not get audit by the IRS which is why you can't expect to hire a friend for $10 / year to instantly make yourself a multi-employee business.

"Even if you don't inhale, you can get cancer from smoking pipes and cigars. People who smoke cigars regularly are 4 to 10 times more likely than nonsmokers to die from cancers of the mouth, larynx, and esophagus." [1]

"Between pipe and cigarette smokers, no or only minor differences were found in mortality from any cause and the specified smoking-related diseases. Pipe smoking is not safer than cigarette smoking." [2]

Not sure if pipe smoking is a better alternative. Would love to hear your thoughts on what I've shared.

It's a popular trend here, and in other places, to dismiss the value of higher education - e.g., 'it's all the same'.[0] (I hear it often from people who already have such educations and expect their children to have them too!)

But if we use our educations, we know that popular trends are an exceedingly poor means of understanding the world - it's hard to think of more dangerous, less reliable signals. Popular trends are astrology, witchcraft, conspiracy theories, lynchings, etc.

Thinking about it just a little, probably anyone serious would much rather learn personally from the world's leading experts in the field, with every resource (labs, research libraries, etc.), and among brilliant, hardworking, serious classmates. Or would you be happy learning from just any person, with uneven resources and among people of questionable talent and motivation? In our industry, you want to learn software development from Google Fellows or the local front end shop? If the latter seems sufficient, or if you just want to hang out and take some classes like high school, I agree: Don't waste money on a top school (unless you do it cynically, just for the status and connections). If you're serious, I don't see how there is any question.

I do agree that there's a bit of a mismatch - many people see college as High School Part II, just with harder classes and more personal independence - and colleges seem to cater to that. Not enough students conceive of what college really is, which is understandable given their high school backgrounds and lack of experience in the world: K-12 is all they know and they are experts in it with deeply engrained perspectives and habits after 13 years. The colleges need to help them see that it's a different world, and far wider and greater possibilties. Optimally, IMHO, college should wait for about 5-10 years of real world experience; how can you study the world without ever having experienced it? But as with anything, we have to work with imperfect institutions, systems, and people.

[0] And that fits the general trend of degrading anything that stands in the way of elite power.
Yeah, no, you're not getting it. The Democrats and Republicans have no obligation to be nice to each other; arguably they shouldn't be. The "stabbing in the back" refers to how they treat their constituents, and in that regard, my analogy perfectly describes the situation, and this is why they're both terrible parties.
If you're not willing to walk away, you have no negotiating power.
I'm reminded of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_Park experiments, which (to me) imply that addictive behavior is an indicator of problems elsewhere, rather than a problem to be solved directly. And by all means, we should work at addressing root causes. But I think there's also room for improvement re: how we respond to bad situations.

> you need enough dopamine to make it though the week

I think this is part of the story, but not all dopamine is created equal. Or rather, it's all created equal, but it ends up motivating different things. I don't have any studies to back this up, but I like to think in terms of fast-vs-slow dopamine. Fast dopamine motivates you to do something arbitrary in search of more dopamine, slow dopamine motivates you to do something that you also have other reasons for wanting to do.

I'm in the middle of fixing a fence that blew down in a recent storm. There will be some slow dopamine involved at gazing upon the finished product. I think it can count towards my enough-to-make-it-through-the-week allotment. But that's easy for me to say--I don't generally have problems with addictive behavior. I'm just interested because I'd like to find a way to share that quality with my friends who do.
What friend would check the car, find a tracker and then immediately get rid of it and not even take pictures of it instead of showing her or just calling the police themselves though?

What's somewhat plausible is that "the person close to her" put the tag there in the first place. They'd have a good reason to "get rid of it" in that case.
I use Conjure for writing Fennel, which in turn can be used to customize nvim. It’s a pretty great plugin.
? I’ve been in this industry for…a while. I watched people around me packing up their cubicles in 2001. What is it that you think I am missing? Genuine question because I’m not sure how to interpret your comment at all. Tech stocks have had strong growth as a sector for about 2 decades. Even if they hadn’t, even if they had been flat for 20 years, companies are still paying out $100k+ a year in equity (in addition to base salary).

I prefer not to speculate about the motivations of policy makers, because I can't read minds. However, it's clear, judging by the rate of avoidable ills like opiate overdoses and type 2 diabetes, to name just a couple, that our government policy can't be called broadly successful for many of today's major public health issues.

That's not to say it's a total failure. The sanitation improvements of the mid 20th century had a huge positive effect on public health. Indoor plumbing wasn't even available in wide swaths of the USA back then.
"why take on responsibility through having children? "

I doubt there is a absolute answer.
You either want it, or you don't.
Or you are not sure and then it might just happen one day and then, "well, let's go with it". Despite not having perfect conditions.

I think I wanted to have kids at around your age, but was clear, to wait until I could provide a adequate perfect base.
And then years later it just happened, before me being ready and the responsibility for sure was and is very intense. But mostly of a good kind.
Fingerprinting with any accuracy is hard. As a legitimate use case, I had a corporate client who wanted their management software only accessible to sub-management employees from certain on-site locations. And they wanted this without sending those employees through a VPN or having a static IP for each location. So what I allowed them to do was to let a manager clear a given device's browser fingerprint (e.g. on the computer at a certain desk, or the employee's laptop) and be able to manage or revoke access for a limited number of those at a time.

This was fairly secure because even the same employee was unlikely to get the same fingerprint twice - it was only occasionally more convenient than generating a random hash everytime they opened the browser. It became a huge pain for managers to be called constantly on the weekend to remotely reauthorize the devices they'd just authorized a few hours ago, or when chrome suddenly updated itself for half the employees, so eventually we switched to a looser hybrid of fingerprints and local storage.
Why would you have oracle without a super sweet support contract? That's the whole point.
Fair point, particularly people who didn’t graduate. There’s a lot of people being pushed into college that aren’t ready for it and won’t really benefit.

*.safeframe.googlesyndication.com is Google's implementation of the IAB's safeframe standard[0], which is basically a cross origin iframe with an API that's exposed to the embedded 3rd party code (the ad).
This is how its HTML looks like (some attributes removed for readability):

<iframe src="https://*.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.html" title="3rd party ad content" sandbox="allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation" allow="attribution-reporting"></iframe>

As you can see, it has both sandbox[1] and allow[2] attributes.
The former restricts certain behaviors of the embedded code (most notably, navigating the top window without user activation), and the latter restricts it from accessing certain APIs - this why the author saw errors in the console.

The script at https://cdn.js7k.com/ix/talon-1.0.37.js is an ad verification library developed by Verizon Media (formerly Oath), and it does, among other things,, fingerprinting for bot detection purposes (because they want to prevent ad fraud). It was served together with the actual ad media (so called "creative") into the safeframe.

This a relativity begin case. Iv'e seen much more terrible stuff, from fingerprinting for user taking to straight out malware being served in ads. It's a wild west (or web).

Prohibition has clearly been worse in the case of alcohol and marijuana. You might be right, but I’m not convinced a prohibition on production and sale would produce the same black market for tobacco. Maybe it’s my own bias, but I like to think that most people that smoke don’t really want to. It’s driven by addiction and ease of access. Cravings are ephemeral and it’s not like buying a 6 pack or some pot to have a good time later. There’s a spectrum where prohibition works. The best example I can think of (at the extreme) is plastic bags at supermarkets in California - no black market for that, vs marijuana where it clearly a failure.

Right, China is interesting. Still, it does not have a monarch, it has a parliament that elects a president (for all intent and purposes) who is the head of state. The legitimacy of the president comes from the community, and he does not own the state or the land. Citizens are not subjects.

It’s a bit blurred because of its single-party nature, but it has all of the attributes of a republic.
