>The existence of a 100 people with 100 billion each really does nothing for the real purchasing power of the middle and lower class.

It has many deleterious effects but the most visceral one is that it prices them out of the housing market. Those 100 people's purchasing power distorts the hell out of any market they dive into and real estate is very much one of their favorites.

Taxing them and all the people with wealth close to them to hell and back would make the real estate market sane again even if the tax money wasnt used to build new housing (which it should be).

Wealth inequality is the real killer though, and the measure that is the most out of whack. I
The rule is that if you ever want to downplay how bad things are, focus on income inequality to the exclusion of wealth inequality.

Why the hell does CORS only support exactly one origin domain or wildcard? Such a silly decision to not allow comma separated values or wildcard subdomains.

I'm not sure I'd want a 150 year old freezer though. It'd probably be very energy inefficient for starters.
Yes! Of course the Alternative is not to catch it and transport it away and use it but the expectation that the rig would blow.

Not sure how you came up with this one, funny.

You know they are not doing it because its more effort and less profit right?

We are able to catch gas, store and transport it.
They forgot to update the link to the background image. It is missing this background image reference - http://www.liberouter.mobi/img/censorship.jpg
For me the linux desktop use case is too weak to spend so much money on a headset. Probably, the picture would change, if WebXR would be supported. This would introduce at least one widely accepted UI framework with VR scope to the platform.

What can you really DO in VR here in the future?

- VR videos?

- VR gaming?

- VR art?
It's just old; back in the day HTML had very little graphic capabilities, and loading multiple images was comparatively slow (think 56k connections). So you'd load a single image and then subdivide that in clickable areas with image maps (which is what this is called).
I honestly done understand they hype around RISC-V, it’s seems like reinventing the wheel. Sure it’s open, but so is OpenPower; and that’s a lot more mature with better software support. I’m sure it’s not the only one either. Everything new is old I guess.

Edit: Tesla lies in their marketing, the industry is sexist, Rust is overhyped, Wayland still isn't very usable. If I'm gonna get downvotes, I might as well go big.
Parent may or may not be trying to assign blame, but they do make a very salient observation: there is, as a rule, very little verification from initial reporting to strong global reaction. And that's a rule, not something having to do with this particular instance.
No, but you can wait a few days and reserve judgement until it's confirmed by several sources. It's not like it something you need or could act on.

Today, the news arrive fast, and the reaction to the news is instant.

On the other hand, after several years of covid crisis, my opinion on the whole thing is very much in flux, and when I discuss it with people, I don't give definitive statements, nor raise an outrage.

So yes, the reaction here seems it could be a problem... if confirmed :)
The problem is that some of the retirement quests depend heavily on the plot structure - "kill 5 bosses" can be 20 scenarios or 5 scenarios depending on where you are in the campaign. Similarly for some of the monster-specific quests; some even become impossible if you get them too late and don't want to replay old scenarios.

I think it would have been better as 8 starting classes, 8 unlockables, and two more compressed campaigns with some other progression compressed accordingly.

Related, does anyone know if it's possible to run Mac OS X 10.8 in a virtualized environment with GPU support?

It's required to run iMovie to try to resurrect an old project

VMWare for a long time doesn't support it, but not sure what capabilities Qemu has for GPUs emulation?
I had to look this up, it’s called a retainer sacrifice. The act was apparently largely phased out by the time this queen lived, so it’s a bit curious they found this.

The idea behind it is the pharaohs were seen as deities, and as such needed their servants to come with them to the afterlife. The servants most likely were quite willing to do this due to that belief.
I’m no botanist, but I believe cycads have spermatozoids too. All seed plants (including angiosperms) have ovules.

I mean you're right, but OpenPower showed up late to the game, after the RISC-V hype train was already going, almost as if IBM wanted to derail it. (More likely IBM saw RISC-V prove that it was viable and wanted people to be using Power instead. (So not so much derail it as derail it and put me on the rails instead))
I would say it works as long as you don't need any major coordination outside of a few channels. As soon as you get into mutex territory you happily end up shooting yourself in the foot hoping that go test -race caught the bug someone else introduced. Or you spend unnecessary time implementing some concurrent safe type trying to hide the synchronization behind a pretty interface.

At work we have a split code base between rust and go, using go to interface with the world due to better ecosystem while using rust for the heavy lifting of business logic in an extremely concurrent implementation.

Even though the rust side is more complex it is much easier to work with and refactor leading to fewer bugs. The language simply gives so much for free, when you get over the first humps of a slow start.

The Rust cycle of 1. make it work, 2. handle errors, 3. encode invariants in the type system to prevent inadvertent refactors is simply magical.
I think two things are going on, everyone remembers movies they watched as a kid/teen and thinks they where unusually good. It’s not that there was a golden age of movies, it’s that you personally had seen fewer movies.

That said, the ratio of original movies to sequels/franchises changed. Fast forward 20 years from Star Wars to 1997 and sure yet another Titanic, Jurassic Park 2, and a James Bond film but also, Men in Black, The Fifth Element, Liar Liar, As Good as It Gets etc so still mostly original movies.

But fast forward to 2017 and the top 10 movies included: Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Harry Potter 5, Spider-Man 3, Shrek 3, National Treasure 2, The Simpsons Movie, and Transformers. I Am Legend based on a book and 300 based on a comic. So only Ratatouille was actually new.
HN thread from 18 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30082138.
NTLM Auth is hot garbage and shouldn't be used, but is still possible in HTTP/2 iirc (HTTP Negotiate way), just nobody implements it for a good reason.

Personally I'm not sure why current HTTP2 stacks prevent Negotiate mechanism, but I suspect it's because of connection reuse and Negotiate doing connection-oriented auth - so I suspect Microsoft temporarily banned such feature (I can't find reference to other implementations downgrading, but outside of Microsoft on IIS not many do kerberos over http)

I would go for Ruby on Rails, or a more modern Phoenix Framework (Elixir). With Phoenix you can also use Phoenix LiveView to avoid writing JavaScript. Very stable, scalable and low-hassle once you deploy.
Other stuff being bad (mostly for reasons other than globalization) is irrelevant to the obvious absurdity of the claim in the original article that globalization didn't allow us to have more consumer goods for less, it just made the consumer goods worse. The claim being addressed was that consumer electronics are so much worse than the consumer electronics of the 1970s it cancels out price cuts: he even makes up a number to go with it! You can't defend instances of the "everything was better in the good old days" meme as laughably specific as saying we're $2000 worse off buying modern appliances than 1970s ones by pointing to other stuff where the evidence might not point in the opposite direction.
I'm the main author of this paper. It was a part of my PhD work on opportunistic networking. I'm surprised to see it here, but happy to answer any questions.

I still believe this approach has a lot of unrealized potential, but unfortunately I never had the resources (time, students, funding) to push it as far as I think it could go. It has been maintained on a best effort basis over the years.
This is not something reported by ESA astronomers but a PR piece about recent news, relevant history, and pointing how ESA does it. The article explicitly links to its source about the attribution.

SG is a young nation so has lower Heath care costs (not many over 70s). The amount being spent on health has been ballooning over the decade and is forecast to continue.

It’s currently US$2800 a year per person, however to quote

, the health-care system is contending with increased stress, as reflected in so-called pain points that have led to public concern, including shortages in acute hospital beds and intermediate and long-term care (ILTC) services, and high out-of-pocket payments. The main drivers of these challenges are the rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases and rapid population ageing, limitations in the delivery and organisation of primary care and ILTC, and financial incentives that might inadvertently impede care integration.

Basically the low costs driven by a young population are coming to an end

Yup, Java with it's strong memory model introduced with jsr 133 gave a whole lot of different headaches to people implementing the JVM on ARM. I'm still not sure if it's 100% reliable compared to the x86 impl.

Exactly what I would choose.
Given what follows the second quote, it appears to be a simple typo: "It was unclear..." would better fit. Also given what follows, the author seems justified in writing that first quote, which follows the presentation of the reasoning suggesting that it is the Chang'e 5-T1 mission's booster.

I don't know what you are talking about. There is nothing bloated about multiple systems necessary to track my time or my expenses while project managers also insist that you use jira to track time because they otherwise have no way of reporting time spent on a per project level to the client or deliver any reporting more frequent than every fortnight (capabilities we had before the merger).

Or the necessity to forbid ssh connections in the corporate networks as well as ssh ports being open on cloud instances. If you need a shell use the one the cloud provider provides you in the browser.

There was an operation in orchestration with the intelligence apparatus, legacy media, the DNC, and many others to make Trump look bad at all costs. Never has a candidate nor president endured such blatant attempts to derail their administration. The FISA court was lied to, the American people were lied to. So many people think it is still a conspiracy theory. But it's true.
Pointing out that technology has improved drastically in response to an article making the specific, absurd claims that (i) that improvement can be quantified as $137.13 and (ii) actually that's generous because imported technology made is of significantly lower quality to US-made 1970s tech is not a weak and hollow response, though it wasn't exactly the focus of my response

A weak and hollow response would be defending that absurdity by constructing a straw man to attack me with (ignoring what I actually said about welfare policies, which is that they have little to do with globalization).

For Tor, DAC was cheaper and more accessible. By 2016, the prices for 10Gbase-T and SFP+ switches was often close to the same, but SFP+ gave significant flexibility while 10Gbase-T meant you had to architect specifically for it.

With SFP+ hardware we had coax DAC for cheap connections, precut cheap fiber with hardwired transceivers, and of course expensive transceivers for longer range connections on fiber, and we could mix and match.

A 10Gbase-T device meant we had to build the entire segment for new type of wiring, ensuring right NICs and switches, because mixing 10Gbase-T with SFP+ always required expensive transceivers (they were also not trivial to acquire in 2016, speaking from experience trying to unfuck a purchase of Nexus 3k in 10Gbase-T variant when all servers had SFP+)
George was the first graduate of the program.
In practice, at least C compilers don't automatically generate code for multiple extensions, so you get the performance of the base ISA by default. This does indeed mean that every C program for x86-64 that isn't compiled with a specific target architecture just won't ever use AVX/AVX2/AVX-512/any other extension.

There is the idea of profiles, i.e. a single nice name for a group of extensions so that there's something one could provide a precompiled binary for, but I don't know what, if any, are RISC-V's plans for that.

Where's the sources confirming this post? Shouldn't you wait a few days and reserve judgement? I (and I assume you) still don't have any astronomer credentials, for all we know this post is a load of bullshit and the anti-Elon posters were right!

Of course, these questions are rhetorical and to make a point. But I really dislike how when a mistake like this happens people roll out the "oh you should have just waited for fact checking" when it takes me 30 seconds to click their profile and see them commenting on news articles with no sources hours after release.
My key point was that there are newer alternatives (the OP asked for that). PyAutoGUI would be another newer alternative. So are Applitools and UIPath, but they are not open-source.

The challenge with Tesseract is that its OCR quality is (too) low for screenshots because screenshots are usually text on colored background. Tesseract is optimized for classical text document OCR. Of course, you can switch OCR engines with Sikuli (I did that before), but this requires touching the source code.

The thing is though, I think this is basically correct. They probably could prosecute the reporter if they really, really wanted to. Not that I think they could actually convict someone who was obviously acting in good faith to report a security vulnerability, but security research of this kind seems like such a gray area legally speaking. In general we wouldn't treat an obvious flaw in physical security as a mitigating factor for theft. That is, if I drop my wallet in a public place it is still probably theft for someone to pick it up and take the cash inside.

To be clear, this is in NO WAY a defense of the way the government acted in this case which was both insane and harmful, but just to say that a lot of what makes things illegal is subjective judgements about intent. This is why professional pen testers (the careful ones at least) generally specify in very clear terms what the scope of their engagement is (and still sometimes end up getting arrested). I can only imagine that doing independent security research is a mine field.
That's the total opposite for me.

The linux desktop is the killer feature. Why recode 30 years of a rich ecosystem when you can benefit from it now ?

You can use a web browser with all your extensions, code with a real local vs code, issue git commands in a terminal, watch any video with vlc / download them with youtube-dl / torrent them, get your emails with thunderbird, in a huuuuuge screen, open all my 1000 of different chats, play on steam while voicing on discord, query a postgres db, render a scene in blender, ssh to my work server and enjoy my ebook collection using calibre.

Why would I want a limited, badly supported, barely developed system?
How are car communication done in modern cars? Is there a single cable run from the ECU in the front to the cabin and one to the back, and then some kind of switch connects stuff like gauge cluster, AC, buttons etc in the cabin, and lights, camera etc in the back? How about fiber cable, is there any movement towards that? Some cars have fancy 360 camera systems that I imagine can use a lot of bandwidth.
You can choose which extensions to support at compile time and whether this extension is optional. E.g. many binaries don't use AVX at all, while binaries compiled with -march=native may assume that AVX is supported (and emit SIGILL if not).
Hence the "if confirmed :)".
There's plenty to hate on Elon for but it's possibly clear that a lot of people are looking for a news article to bandwagon onto rather then having a specific issue or issues they care about.

Correctional Offender Management Profiling for Alternative Sanctions
although browsers only accept a single origin domain or wildcard as cors header, the server can trivially handle the multi domain use case. on preflight request, check the location header in the request, and if it belongs to a defined whitelist, set the cors header on the response to that domain or subdomain.
I don't know the why, but I can imagine that since there is a reasonable work around, browser implementers perhaps kept things simple and never bothered adding support for a list of specific domains.
