In which European countries could you not do that? I’m in Scandinavia and can’t imagine what kind of problem regarding religious practice you would encounter here that you wouldn’t in the US or UK.

I'm a Brazilian, the NSA has been caught breaking Microsoft products on our largest companies for industrial spying too.
I do not understand why this is regarded as so radical, once I actual sat down and thought it through.

They never do anything about property crime, even for middle class white people out in middle class 'burbs.

The one time we had a shooting anywhere nearby it was really weird and looked a whole lot like a (small-time—the dude was clearly not a seasoned pro, as he wandered into the wrong house first, telling the occupants they weren't who he was after before leaving) organized crime hit, and AFAIK they never solved it even with several witnesses, it happening in broad daylight, and both victims surviving, plus the guy apparently traveling a good long way on foot to and from the scene, and that was years ago, so they're 0/1 on scary violent crime in my area. I can't imagine they'd do better in a more typical case, unless it's one of those incredibly obvious "the boyfriend did it" situations that any idiot could solve in two minute flat. Traffic enforcement should probably be someone else's job anyway, not the police. Imagine how many fewer police officers we could have if they didn't spend 75% of their time sitting on the side of the road with a radar gun, and how much cheaper people who only did that would be—I think we only maintain the status quo because police benefit from fines & seizures, so they don't want to lose that, and as an excuse to fish for other (mostly victimless) crimes or "crimes" (like having too much money in the passenger seat).

I don't really care one way or the other, but if folks in less-nice parts of town want to try getting rid of them, seems OK to me. If it goes very wrong, I expect they'll get experience practically all the downside, so if they think it's a good idea, cool, let's try it. They're mostly dead weight from my perspective anyway—I don't get why actually defunding them, at least to try it out and see what happens, is such a big deal. They're incredibly ineffective and unhelpful, at best. Starting from scratch and seeing what we actually need to pay for doesn't seem like a crazy idea.
How much added slowness do you think Unicode is responsible for? Because as much of a complex nightmarish standard as it is[0], there are plenty of applications that are fast that handle it just fine as far as I can tell. They're built with native widgets and written in (probably) C.

Why is the central bank inflation target typically 2%?

Well if you target 0% and any actual result below 0% happens, that's deflation which is a disaster for economies.

If inflation is say 10%. Maximum employment is near certainly impossible. Debt will be expensive and the economy crawls to a halt. Who wants to pay 10% interest on their student debt?

So where in between do you have a good price stability? It tends to be around 2%. It allows for error in measurement, it provides safe cushion.

The USA is at 7% inflation. This means the central bank is not doing their job. They by mandate should have drastically increased interest rates. Inflation almost certainly is out of control now. Looking at central bank balance sheets that are very far from balance, and looking at money supply M2. There's a solid 40% inflation coming. Lets say it sticks to 7%, this inflation will last probably 4 years.

When inflation is so high and interest rates are not. The people winning are those in debt. Which is the government and youngins. However, it also means you cant save money. You must spend money as soon as possible. Tourism is dead for many years.

Flipside, what does this also do? It pressures salaries. You are making 7% less this year but you're making 115% less the next year. So anyone in demand will be in demand and be able to buck the inflation curve.

The people most hurt by high inflation are those who just retired. They no longer can demand more $ for their productivity. Their 'safe' investments are way below inflation. They don't realize yet they cant afford to be retired.

Not really. You need to compensate Qualcomm for a pile of lost sales from people not getting new phones.

Their example is bad because they used a different country, if you want US wages live in the US.

But within the US it's pretty ridiculous.

Not all of how you spend your pay is scaled by your cost of living for example...

My employer can't predict where I want to retire, yet by scaling my entire pay by cost of living where I currently am they'd be limiting how much I can save.

You can live in a high cost of living area and decide you're ok with living with roommates and ramen noodles. That results in the same living expenditure as someone in a low cost of living area with significantly more room to save.
As a NVidia shareholder I'm relieved at this. ARM is clearly less valuable as part of NVidia with all the conflicts of interest that entails than as an independent company. NVidia talked about synergies but they could pursue all of those with an architectural license for far less money. It's actually something of a pattern that most mergers fail to provide synergy and destroy value, it's just that they enlarge the empire of the CEO and so seem attractive from that standpoint.
You're looking at the world through black and white, to the exclusion of all the shades of gray.

Someone snapping a photograph of a busy street is one thing. Someone snapping a photograph of a busy street, with a focus on you, because you are doing something that looks inappropriate, out of context, is another. Someone following you around, taking video, from the moment you step out of your front door, to the moment that you step back through it is a third.

That someone can be a stranger who doesn't know or care that you exist, a private individual with a deranged vendetta against you, who has threatened you with harm[1], a company that does this on a massive scale and aggregates data, a company that does this on a targeted, personal scale, a government agency that is lawfully investigating a crime, a government agency that is unlawfully acting out of vindictiveness, a government agency that is lawfully acting out of vindictiveness...

None of these things are the same, nor do they warrant the same "Oh, well, it's a public space, nobody owns it, everyone can do whatever they want."

It's a public space. We all own it. We all get to determine what kind of behaviour is acceptable, and unacceptable in it.

The solution to predators and bad actors in a public space is not expecting that everyone who can afford it move more of their life into a private one. That's how we lose our public spaces.

The OP covers this in the article:

> I’ve bought too many Android phones over the years believing Google when they say they’ve figured out how to be better with updates, whether it was the Google Play Store promise or the Android One promise or “Project Treble.” None of it has mattered. It’s too little, too late from Google.

which links to https://www.theverge.com/22881882/android-12-google-pixel-6-..., which says:

> By its nature, Android is a fragmented ecosystem. There’s no straight line from Android 12 to the Galaxy S21 or OnePlus 9 — every major update sees handoffs between the manufacturer, carriers, and Google, all of which result in delays. Initiatives like Project Treble seem to have helped speed up some parts of the process, but unless Google takes some drastic actions, nobody can completely fix the problem.

Case in point, Treble came out in 2017, one year before Pixel 3. Didn't help.
A normal person wouldn't, but there should be someone on a company's IT staff who does.

> That said...NY's Central Park doesn't have shit on Tiergarten

Someone said it too! I have had few arguments with people, mostly New Yorkers, over this.
> Why would anyone stick around for that?

Lots of reasons.

First of all, job hunting takes time and effort. If you're rusty at interviewing and need some practice, then even more so. People that have kids or other responsibilities outside of work have even less of both available. On top of that you have to face rejection, which for many people is emotionally difficult.

Secondly, even if everything goes well, it's still a substantial risk. The new job might seem great at first, then turn out to be a nightmare a couple of months in. The old job might not be ideal, but you're used to it, and know you can live with it -- it's the devil you know. Same way that couples often stay in unsatisfying relationships for years, because it seems better than risking ending up alone.

They read the data capacitively. A sheet with perpendicular drive lines was put on top of the copper sheet. Energizing a drive line capacitively coupled to the square capacitors on the BCROS sheet. Each bit had two capacitors (balanced), driving a differential amplifier (sense amplifier) to produce the output bit. Using two capacitors reduced noise since the differential amplifier would cancel out the noise.
I dropped my iPhone 11 and the screen got destroyed send it out for repair and picked up my old iPhone SE from 2016. Updated it to iOS 15.2 and it trucked along without problems until the replacement was here. Amazing.

Thank you for beautifully putting the main difference between US and Europe. This is quite accurate in terms of how US and Europe see immigrants.
> As an outsider, this looks like the biggest problem in the US. The EU is no utopia, but standards of living, environment and way of life is pretty good for the "not-wealthy". In the US, it looks like you can also have a pretty damn good standard of living with a nice environment... but only if you are in the fairly wealthy minority. Which perhaps explains why there is such a focus on unobtainable "prosperity", to make it to the "other side".

You're mostly right. Except the threshold for a nicer life isn't the wealthy minority. i'd hazard a guess that it's somewhere below median income i.e. i could get so much more in most of the US for the median income vs what i could get in most parts of Europe for the median income. however the bottom quarter have so many more problems here. Coincidentally this is about the amount of people struggling to afford medical care.

Personally (having lived many places) i would want to be in a much higher income quotient in Europe.
> if you want to find it, you might have to crawl thru every reference of volkow's 100+ papers on cocaine.

If you want to use the reference, I suggest you find it and validate it exists before trying to make some claim.

I also don’t think anything malicious but think it’s more likely that you misunderstand something than the paper exists and you can’t find it.

As a reader trying to determine if your claim is bullshit it’s not worth the risk that you’re wrong for me to exhaustively review all 100+ papers to make sure it doesn’t exist.

As the saying goes, “If you hear hoofbeats outside your door, it’s probably a horse not a zebra.”
And you’ll still be surprised that even though you’re in a higher tax bracket, your standard of living actually went down.

Rebellion is not as simple as it looks like. I'm saying that as a person who played a big role in Ethereum Classic "rebellion".

As many mentioned here, you need to disable the Difficulty Bomb. But it is not the bigger problem actually, maybe it's even the simplest one.

What you also need:

- Organized community. I.e., some places to communicate. That's not easy. And be aware of ETH-maximalists that will come to trash it.

- Wallet that works out of the box. Not that Metamask, which is the most popular wallet in ETH, will never agree to support fork like it never agreed to support ETC.

- Block Explorer. People need to see their balance, check transaction status, exchanges need to point to that explorer as proof, etc.

- Miners would risk losing all their money if the chain eventually fails. Most miners are not so invested.

- Replay Protections to separate balances in forks. That's not easy. I mean, we have EIP-155, which was proposed by Ethereum Foundation, but it ensures that EIP-155 kind of replay protection would hurt forks because all of the software would need to be fixed for it. I.e., it's not a solution "out of the box", not user friendly.

- Exchanges. Maybe not so hard now. But without proper Replay Protection in place, some exchanges would lose their funds and would actively fight new forks to avoid liability.

- Public API endpoint. Like Infura. Because nobody runs its own node.
I would disagree with where you are drawing that line. I would say that computer science does happen in Plato's heaven; software engineering happens in real processors and memory. But most of us are actually software engineers (writing programs to do something) rather than computer scientists (writing programs to learn or teach something).
I switched to FooBar2000 shortly after it was started. IIRC it was mentioned in a /. thread and I enjoyed it right away. At this stage the available extensions were almost non-existent but the framework for depth & breath was there and looked promising.

It was also one of my favorite interactions with contact directly with the programmer. At the time, there was some conflict in the forums with the developer about the distinction between "shuffle", and "random". Whenever you played songs from your playlist with 'Random' selected the same songs would play in the same order. I'd have a playlist containing over 100 songs and (for example) it would always play: 13, 72, 55, 31, 85, etc... until eventually restarted that order (without playing all songs in the playlist).

The developer insisted the play order was random and he wouldn't fix it. He claimed that people were looking for a 'shuffle' feature and they refused to create one.

The interaction always reminded me of this strip: https://xkcd.com/221/

Not long afterwards, I discovered Amarok from the KDE v3.5 days and stopped caring about Windows audio players.
WRT Home Manager, that makes sense and portability is definitely a cool benefit of Home Manager. But keeping all of your config for multiple workstations in one has drawbacks too. I found myself frustrated when I wanted to install something but I forgot to push changes from another computer so I needed to stash or rebase later on. Just to install a package! I only have one workstation and a small amount of servers, and I tried running NixOS on everything. It worked well (I still have multiple servers running NixOS actually) but for me, the benefits just weren't worth the overhead of living full time in Nix land. Now I use Debian stable for new servers and I prefer it. But yeah, lots of personal preference here. And WRT nix-env, it seems troubling to me that the fundamental tool of the Nix CLI is something that you recommend people stay away from. I think you may have be right about that recommendation, but I think it shows that Nix as a product is far off from being a "pick up and run" tool for average developers. I really hope that it will somehow get to that point but, like the author says, I don't think it will be Nix itself because it has burrowed itself into a bespoke, complicated UX that has a huge learning curve. I like simple things with elegant UX so that's where I'm coming from. There's just so many ways to use Nix, like, TOO many ways. But I'm glad that they're pioneering this space.
Chesterton’s fence is lazy.

Here’s a better approach:

- admit that deprecation work is hard. Damn hard.

- but know that is important. Damn important.

- read the chapter on deprecation (15) in the book Software Engineering at Google [1]

- come to appreciate that if deprecation is a hard problem for Google, then it is hard for you

- sit down, take a breath, make a plan, then roll up your sleeves and do it. Smash that fence.

- if needed, watch Shia LeBoeuf’s motivational on youtube

- just do it

You obviously know government agencies better than I do, and I’m not trying to defend the CCP so I won’t claim they aren’t evil or malicious.

My point is just that in this situation, the point of the law is to disambiguate where your personal liberties as someone who might feel positive towards China end, and your collective responsibility towards your country begin.

Feeling friendly to China isn’t illegal or immoral. Helping China in a way that your government forbids, be it for national security or otherwise, is illegal and probably immoral.

If Chen did not break the law, then he did not betray the moral guidelines outlined through law. Unless you want to claim that the spirit of the law was that he should disclose more than legally required to disclose.

Claiming anything more than this just sounds like virtue signaling.
It isn’t similar. As you mentioned, it’s much quicker to get a scan in Germany (or Italy or France), which is specular to saying it’s very hard to get referred for a scan in the UK.

Seeing specialists through the NHS is very hard. I’m giving you some examples from my past year:

- in the UK women deliver babies without being visited by a gynaecologist a single time, my partner had to pay for that.

- The NHS don’t provide paediatricians. We have to go to a private doctor.

- Getting a referral for an allergologist was taking ages, we had to take the baby to a private doctor.

All this cost in excess of 5000£. My insurance paid or will pay back that money, so it’s not a problem for me, but not everybody is insured here.

I would have spent 0€ in Germany or France for the same level of service.
Well, but correct me if I'm wrong, the Snowden leak included nothing like this. Instead it included a lot of things that would be a lot easier to do if Google/Microsoft ect just gave them access. The very fact they had to do everything else is at least evidence that don't have direct access
I really think I want a “JSON” format for SQLite that is a strict subset of the SQLite file syntax that can be generated fairly trivially by other applications and read by SQLite. There are apps that produce JSON that would be better served by something I can run search queries upon and jq is nice but it’s not SQLite.

Is there a protobuf implementation of the SQLite file format out there somewhere?

I don't think that this is a particularly controversial opinion now. A decade ago, maybe. Half a century ago, certainly. But now, in 2022, I think that you could probably find even objective evidence that the median quality of journalism has significantly declined and moved from objective facts to cherry-picking emotionally-laden stories to push a narrative.

Some news companies have even started to explicitly adopt "advocacy over reporting" models, where they don't aim to be journalists in the original source of the word, but paid propaganda subscriptions.

(yeah, yeah, there are economic incentives to do so - but there are also economic incentives to make shoddy, low-quality products and cheat your customers in other realms, and yet it's still wrong)
