In any transaction, there is no distinction between money obtained as UBI and money earned as salary. A landlord is will set his price to what he can obtain from the highest bidder regardless of source.

UBI does not generate competition. It's a supplement. All it does is translate the supply curve rightwards. While UBI might stimulate demand in the short term, it doesn't fundamentally change the relationship. The eventual outcome of sustained UBI is an inflationary spiral.
The problem is not the schools in the Midwest but that many don’t want to live in the Midwest. I am married into a family from Illinois but they have all left or are leaving because they are tired of the weather. I also went to grad school in Illinois and never considered staying after I finished. I did actually like it but wasn’t a place I wanted to stay forever.

University of Illinois at Urbana Champagne was the pre-eminent school for Computer Science. It’s still a fantastic school but most don’t seem to want to live in a cornfield.
Actually, her very first book, We the Living, is to me the best of the bunch. Because of its setting, it makes it very clear where Ayn's hatred of collectivism/socialism/communism comes from. Also, it tends to show rather than tell. Ayn was a hard woman. I do not idolize her, but knowing where she came from and what she suffered, which her first book makes clear, goes a long ways towards understanding just why she was so hard. And yeah, The Fountainhead is far better than Atlas Shrugged. An editor called upon to justify his existence, need only to point at Atlas Shrugged.

My favorite short book (non-fiction) covering from the last days the Tsars through the remainder of the Soviet period (the period that shaped Ayn) is A History of the Soviet Union from the Beginning to the End, by Peter Kenez.
BlueJeans has a native Linux app that for the last 6 weeks, every time I've started it, has told me that there is an update available and asking if I want to upgrade it. When I go to download it, I find I have the latest Linux version available.

Nothing like telling your users every time they start your app that you don't prioritize their OS.
They needed to be close to a large city center. Chicago is too expensive -- so the option you are proposing is something like Indianapolis?
It's more than just USB, but it's the first that comes to mind. Label LIVE has built-in drivers that talk directly to USB hardware (thermal label printers). The actual "label printer driver" part (talking ZPL, etc) is cross-platform, but the middleware of handling the USB stack has many edge cases and hugely divergent implementations that wounded me greatly (since recovered, thanks!). On top of USB you have "system printer" queue support, local font support, fingerprinting the system for licensing, lib FTDI for weight scale integration, fabric JS w/ all the hidden beasts of WebGL, WASM builds for higher performance dithering, different sandbox requirements, app signing, app packaging... and those are just off the top of my head. There are probably a dozen more things I'm forgetting that would just wreck me if I wasn't mentally prepared enough.
i should really bust mine out more. i've had one for ages and used it a bunch in college then just... stopped.
Isn't that a bit apples v oranges? I've had a MEG and I'm floored by the technology but would a better analog be a PET? We're looking for two different things, metabolism v saturation but it seems like they're both in the physical or structural realm than the electrical.

Good to hear that! I didn't think about sharing the sample chapter, but I might do it. Any particular request? :) On the other side, you can reach out for the refund in the first 30 days, so if it won't be good enough for you - I can get the $ back.

> Build quality is clearly a step down from my old Thinkpad X1 Yoga. The hinge doesn't feel as strong, some keys are mushy/creaking and I'm skeptical my Framework will survive as many falls as my old laptop.
I would categorize the laptop not turning on for 2 weeks, poor speakers, fan noise, mushy/creaking keys, and weak hinge all to be part of build quality. And yes, software issues are also a problem.

We can argue about how subjective all of those points are, and if a single report has any merit on its own, but it was enough to disuade me from making the purchase.

If I could test the laptop locally before buying it, I would do that. Otherwise I don't want to risk it on a first gen product, since I _can_ wait for gen 2 and 3.
Muphry's law!

I was serious about the second paragraph. It was not in bad faith... because that is what tends to happen after mass incarcerations, mass killing. There are people out there who genuinely have expressed those intentions. It's not funny, it's not ironic, and it can and has happened in history.

And no, it doesn't compare to drunk driving... Why, because the vaccinated still carry and transmit COVID, so that effectively means that everyone who goes outside is in your mind doing the same thing as drunk driving.

Eh, yeah, I guess there could be a debate about that. Technically, some court might find that any modification to a copyrighted work results in the creation of a derivative work; but without distribution, it's pretty clearly fair use still I'd think.

The most relevant case I know of is Lewis Galoob Toys, Inc. v. Nintendo of Am., Inc., 964 F.2d 965 (9th Cir. 1992). Nintendo sued sued the maker of Game Genie for contributing to infringement by letting people essentially edit their games in memory. The court said that just being in memory isn't a fixed medium for it to count as a derivative work, saying that editing something in memory was akin to shining a kaleidoscope on a painting and therefore not infringment. However, I think this requirement of a derivative being "concrete" is something the California judges largely just made up.

But even if it was infringement, the court still said it was fair use because it was for a non-commercial purpose and couldn't have any negative effects on game sales, the 1st and 4th factors involved in fair use under 17 USC § 107.
Numbers are the main thing I assumed you were talking about: the JSON spec is clear though, numbers can be arbitrarily long.

The problem is not with the JSON spec, the problem is when you are converting from one data model to another. Any program which claims to perfectly round-trip the JSON data-model should support arbitrarily long numbers, there's no ambiguity in the spec about that.

If you are only parsing JSON as a means to encode your own data-model, then there's no obligation to support arbitrary precision, but users should not expect to be able to round-trip arbitrary JSON data.

AFAICT, `--jp` doesn't do anything which would affect the length of supported numbers, even though it's generating JSON.
This is hugely incorrect. Signal is private, WhatsApp is not.

Go read the app privacy labels if you don't believe me.
Different machine and different people both. There is no way around the fact that you need a lot of people to keep up with the snowfall, and falling behind is a lot more expensive in the long run.

You can make something a priority, but the difference must be limited because of the nature of the ongoing work (unless you de-prioritize the other to the point where snow isn't plowed at all)
What do these people want? For nobody to ever hire him again? How do they want him to feed his family?
For me Task View was the biggest improvement. It's more or less a few bug fixes. The touch keyboard too. Uhhh that's bug fixes too and most of the changes to it are horrendous, but hey, it opens a bit faster.

I've found the Settings app to require way more clocks than Windows 10's, and as someone with Bluetooth earphones I open the Bluetooth page often. They didn't improve it in any ways that affect me and only added more clicks.

Most of the improvements I've seen were just bug fixes that were going to be in the next version of Windows 10 before they got the grand idea to use Windows 10X's nasty shell elements. I actually thought the combined system tray might be nice but it was just annoying and requires more clicks.

So back to 10 it was. I'll have to live with the bugs.
It's surprising, actually, how small the Great Lakes watershed is, compared to the surface area of the lakes. You really aren't going to get much of anything from tributaries; if you want some of the water you draw it from the lakes.

Highways do back up in Cleveland and Columbus in the cities during rush hour though, as well as when there is any construction or accidents or inclimate weather.

One thing I noticed is that the freeways in, say, Cleveland, are all 5 lanes wide or so in each direction, serving a population of 400k in the city and 1.2m in the county. You go to LA and what do you see? The same size freeways as Cleveland, 5 lanes wide or so, only its serving a city of 4 million and a county of 15 million. It's like, of course there is no congestion in Cleveland and tons of congestion in LA, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see an issue with capacity. There's literally an order of magnitude more people using the same capacity of infrastructure.
No, but that's because it's from 1983. It's only modern machines that have this awesome excess of power.

Apple did Rosetta in 2006. That proves this approach has been _commercially_ viable on top-end machines for at least 15 years. Not 39 years!
No, you are the one parent who isn't making things hard for everyone. It's people demanding you and everyone else in society use Facebook spyware who are making things hard for everyone: not just your class, but all of the people of the world.

You don't make things better by making bad choices.
Great example, much better than anything I came up with.
The problem starts with the fact that the device doesn't have any way of showing that it was modified, and some of the frequencies involved are license-restricted (especially in 5GHz wifi bands - 2.4GHz is dumping ground free-for-all because of aircraft ovens anyway).

So, let's say you modify something with your own firmware, break rules about ISM spectrum - or worse, mess with SDR hard enough you break some licensed spectrum, and upon investigation FCC certification marks are found and the number. Since certification points to vendor, vendor now has to explain why their device went outside of those limits, and might or might not be able to prove that you ran it with unlicensed firmware.

So an obviously home build device will go under §15.23 easily, but inconspicuously modified commercially sold device won't - without possibly long court case, that is.

If anything, it's a testament to what an absolute pain it is to develop on existing message queue/event streaming platforms, so it's clearly a valid niche.
I think the reality is security is really hard, and you only need 1 weakness for someone to drive a truck through. The biggest weakness time and time again is humans, and that's exactly what was attacked here with Twitter via social engineering. You can put all the penalties you want, but ultimately business needs and reality will make it so certain humans have powers that are high-up, which then creates unavoidable weaknesses. Just look at what happened with Ubiquiti and their head of cloud basically blackmailing the company in secret... they were attacked from within. How could that have been prevented assuming the person passes background checks and has years of relevant experience?

Many sectors (finance, health care, etc) have all kinds of auditing requirements. I've helped answer some of these audits. It's largely just a bunch of checkboxes for obvious stuff, and in general, isn't how anyone would attack a company that's moderately competent. I've seen and fixed security vulnerabilities in startups that no one else recognized where there, despite passing all these 3rd party audits. I don't know what more could have been done without extremely knowledgeable people look at every aspect of your business in absolute depth that in part only comes from actually working/building it in the first place. Such experts are rare finds, yet the number of companies with computers attached is far greater.

I'm not against legislation, and I think good legislation would look like taking companies such as Equifax out of business. We don't need total incompetence continuing to be central to society's function. But we also need to be realistic about what can be achieved.

Dear friend of mine, who i used to smoke with developed psychosis. So i know consuming cannabis can have negative effects. Cannabis has many compounds, and many studies show some of them have good properties others maybe bad properties. Some science says they cause mental issues other science and study show the opposite.

Again i just find the 'cant do math in head again' a weird statement or things to directly relate to smoking weed. There are plenty of people i know that have never smoked weed and can't do head math as well as they could when they were in high school.

Also to refer to your statement about weed & schizofrenia, there is plenty of research done, but nothing conclusive. e.g.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32839678/

Anything can be harmful, if you use/eat/drink/smoke it enough. And surely not everybody just smokes weed because they 'like being stoned' as you write. Sure does not count for me.
I was debating whether or not to post some of those self-experiments.

I'm aware of a couple more forums where people tried ISRIB and still claim to have lasting problems from it. One group was led by professional chemists who seemed like they knew what they were doing when it comes to testing and validating the product was pure.

It's amazing what people can access now, but self-experimentation with these compounds is a terrible idea.
Great initiative, but I must ask: is the Greek compound formed from makro and gamy entirely accidental? Because it describes the past twenty years quite accurately.
Right... Chromium uses user namespaces as part of its own security model but I'm not sure how that extends to v8 or WASM runtimes. Where's the line between implementing a security model in a userspace VM and just providing an abstracting layer on top of OS features?

But such code might be generated by macros (or some code generator), in which case silent elimination of unnecessary code is expected and wanted behavior.
FWIW that was also my favorite part. It was a great scene. It was very separate from the rest of the film. Funny. Clear satire.
The question is how effectively recovering from omicron prevents a future omicron infection. If it prevents it then great, the problem solves itself, but if you can still pretty easily catch another round of omicron then basically this is just our life now, and eventually people will give up on any mitigation efforts and covid will just keep killing people.

Right now we are dealing with the fact that omicron hits hard, and fills hospitals. Here in Maine we did okay through previous waves, so we have plenty of people with no "natural" exposure to covid. Our hospitals are pretty much over capacity. So what happens if you get into a car crash and need medical attention if there's no room for you? It's somewhat unanswered.

Either option, thousands more will die and everything will be open in a year or two.

I'd bet there is a lot of drama going on. It's not a company that "decides it wants security more closely integrated with engineering --- or the opposite", it's one person who wants that, and he's bring his buddies along now that he's in power. It's not some logical process. At that level all they have is their personalities and egos.
I hope the result of this isn't "fixing it to work for everyone would be hard, and leaving it as is would be unfair, so we're taking it away from the people it currently works on".
The Columbus area is blue. Most of the biggest cities in Ohio are. It's the countryside and rural areas (Ohio has a lot of small towns) that are deep red.

Maybe the idea is that you edit plain text files but then can optionally claim "this file can be parsed as X", which actually I want to say is kind of cool? Though... I guess if this were my site, to make that less confusing, I would make the plain text version .txt and then just not really have a "default" version.

The seeming culprit is the Federal Reserve planning to raise interest rates. However, I wonder - could a cause of this be quantum computing breakthroughs?

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that quantum computers would totally break Bitcoin as it is based on the SHA-256 algorithm.

Not sure about “of course” - TS gets erased at runtime, so while “of course” it’ll increase the pre-compiled code size, it’s not so easy post compile.

If you weren’t aware, you can’t run TS directly - you have to compile it to JS for execution
A positive test for COVID is not equivalent to a need to be in the ER. MOST people with COVID don't need to go to the hospital at all.

As to your assessment, if you choose to stay inside that is fine... that doesn't mean that EVERYONE should be forced to do so.

I just got over COVID, I'm un-vaccinated because of high medical risks to vaccines, everyone else in my household is vaccinated. We went through COVID the past few weeks... I got through it in just over a week, my fiance, fully vaccinated and boosted had worse symptoms than I did that started and lasted longer. My 19yo daughter didn't even have any symptoms.
Author here, never anticipated 30 years ago that someone else would actually look at the code :-)
I don't know how this plant works, but this is an 'it depends' situation in the general case. Some edible 'roots' on plants are more like tubers than roots, and in theory you can dig the plant up at dormancy, cherry-pick a couple of the most edible looking bits, and plop it back in the ground.

With some wild-gathered edible bulbs, the act of digging up the central bulb ends up fragmenting offsets (and pushing them a bit away from the former center of mass). For those plants that have co-evolved with humans, like cammassia, it's claimed that over the long run you get more and healthier plants by this sort of selective harvesting.

There are also plants that can grow from root divisions, including a few noteworthy pernicious weeds. Digging up 'the plant' invariably leaves some rather large side roots in the ground, several of which might become independent plants, again radiating out from the original central stalk. I have the vaguest of recollection that burdock has this quality, but don't quote me on that. Comfrey definitely does this but it's not really edible, root or stalk (it has some nasty oil soluble alkaloids that your liver will not appreciate).
I mean, I try to ration my rage (there's a lot to be upset about and only so much blood pressure to go around), but yes, I think they all deserve much higher pay, in general.
The Science of Slowing Down Aging
Oh wow, hope this is sustainable for you, Eldritch Zookeeper looks wonderful and has been in my wishlist since it popped up in my queue!
TLDR:

Imagine you have a bridge with well known stress characteristics, loads, etc. Now you want to run an optimizer to produce a lightweight bridge made out of a material that uses repeating structures throughout. This exists today but takes a long time to run, you can get all sorts of interesting material compositions out of such programs.

Instead of doing the above train a deep neural network to predict from a set of known stress properties of shapes made out of different types of materials to a set of the structures of those materials. (Massive over simplification: should I use pyramids or cubes as my basic building block for a material?)

After training on millions of known examples, the network is able to take in a desired set of stress characteristics and produce the material which will have those characteristics, very quickly.

They seem to be particularly interested in predicting materials to make up bone replacements.
