> just pass the necessary laws to fix the amount of money at the current level

Go ahead and pass the law. I'll wait.

It'll never happen. But let's say for the sake of argument it did. Another law could come along to change it again. Why trust laws and corrupt government officials? They are unnecessary soon-to-be antiquated relics of days when no better option existed.

If you build source maps this isn’t a problem.
What a coincidence, I just opened a support request to MS because main M365 web apps (outlook, onenote) require re-login every 6 hours of "idle" (read: closed tabs). So on average, I login 3-4 times a day just into those two services (even though they use the same account, you need to login for each app individually!). Now for free/non-business users it seems longer sessions are possible, but MS claims there are 6hour limits for M365 subscribers [0]. As I am the M365 admin, it seems this setting is also not adjustable, but I will wait for the support response.

My experience in transitioning from GWorkspace have been horrible - M365 seems to be a patchwork from various MS products, bundled together but not nearly as consistent as GSuite. In the setup of my single-user, two-domain Email Account I had to login into 3 separate Admindashboards (Main admin portal, Exchange Admin Dashboard, new Security Center dashboard) for basic tasks. I encountered various errors and redirection loops, plus super outdated documentation/tutorials (link leading to nowhere, or documentation referring to older dashboard/uis). It seems M365 is just a mess at this point.

Very excited about this mission for several reasons.

The variety of rovers (different companies, different processes, different energy and propulsion) are quite exciting. It'll be useful to compare their efficacy.

But also significant is the overall mission design. A rover swarm where every individual member is expendable has been bandied about at NASA for at least 18 years. It lets the mission take more risks: if you see an interesting rock over rough terrain or a cave or outcropping that might harbor water ice, you're not going to risk a whole Perseverance on checking it out. But it might be worth risking one Iris or a couple COLMENA.
Libredd.it used to be my favourite but its been down for while. You can create your own at libredd.it/__repl

Teddit.net is ok.

i.reddit.com or old.reddit.com can be faster.

Popular.pics if you just want images.
Temporal is such a powerful tool, really don't rollout your own job system using pub/sub, just use Temporal.

At first it looks easy to use any pub/sub or DB to create a job system, but there are so many edge cases, I'm not even talking about scaling etc ... just having a solid job system that properly handle retries, error, durability, timeout etc ...
It’s not legal to just shoot any animal because it’s in your yard, come on
Honestly. Loud motorcycles is annoying but the LED shit is actually dangerous. If theres 1 coming the otherway I legit can't see the road in front of me until its passed. Im kind of considering getting some though, because its kinda a positional arms race about "who can have the brightest lights to see the best at everybody else's expense". Its mean but I don't wanna be the guy who gets fucked over and blinded then found at fault.
Yep. This is kinda useful as an indicator whether you wrote login correctly (wrong pic = wrong login) and to weed out the lowest quality phishing, but for anyone who's not a clown it should be easy to recreate the flow and hence, it's actually even harmful (you think you get assurance you're not scammed while getting scammed).

Edit: one thing to make it more bulletproof would be bank rejecting all calls that look like serverish initiated (AWS etc), then the attacker would need some genuinely looking botnet to not get blocked by the bank due to suspicious volume from same IP pool. Raises the bar for attack, but still, serious attacker can mitigate this.
I have. Now he guns it when he passes my house.
> But have a look at the Janko and other cromatic keyboards to see what the alternatives could look like

That's the isomorphic keyboard I mentioned. Different name, same thing.

> ... But in any other key it doesn't work nearly as nice ...

It works nicely enough from a visual POV if you handle it via the circle of fifths. The biggest obstacle of course is learning basic finger patterns for the new scale; that's where isomorphic keyboards could well be preferable.
Full disclosure: I am a founding engineer at this company.

We are charging corporate clients for white glove service and minor contracting (helping them upload and adjust pipelines). We also take a small margin over AWS compute prices for regular users. This lets us support the academic and small volume users for free (we give $100 in compute "credits" to all users). So, basically, the money stream of a commercial company is there, as well as the goal to use it for the good of the many.

The GUI is generated from the Python docstring (which optionally includes metadata in an inline YAML) and typing information (PEP 484). We handle all the development and the maintenance on this but theoretically somebody could write an entirely separate frontend by just using our GraphQL endpoint and a few HTTP POST requests and interpret custom GUI metadata (we would need to standardize the APIs and commit to not breaking them). The backend lets you safely run arbitrary code already so I doubt there are many applications for which it would not be flexible enough.

We are aware that there are dozens of previous systems for generating interfaces for pipelines. Our novel contributions primarily come from the reliance on cloud tech (with primary benefit being the ability to scale to extremely compute-intensive workflows), the integration with a cloud-native data system (everything is in S3, with a wrapper to make it considerably more user friendly; primary benefit is, again, scale—you can transparently store terabytes of data), and the use of static typing throughout (primary benefit is that even unannotated workflows get a "good-enough" GUI if they have types).
Oh. You’re using pride as a generic term and treating all pride as equivalent. This is a meaningless way to look at the idea of pride. Pride is directed. A person doesn’t just feel pride, they feel pride about something.

Analyzing anger the way you have pride would yield the same idea, that anger is nearly meaningless, or at least lacking in any predictive value. Without discussing where the emotion is directed, yeah, it can’t tell us much about what the action the emotion encourages.

Once you start discussion the object of someone’s pride, the actions become more obvious. Proud of your kid? You’re a lot more likely to reward them. Proud of your job? You’re more likely to talk about it. Proud of your country? You’re probably more likely to demand policies that you see as elevating your country above others.
I'm not an authoritarian kind of guy but there are people who are better removed from society entirely.
How are you everwhere, dang?
If people getting married were forced to spend a day in divorce court, very few people would ever dare get married. "Love" is the biggest snake oil humans have produced and marketted to death. It's all good for survival of the species but if you want to change the world, do something above and beyon, make an impact - avoid this "love" bullshit and, no matter what happens, don't get married. Songs of the sirens will be loud and irresistable. You must learn to close your ears or you will ruin your life.
> If they shot into someone's house or even yard, they would be in jail.

That's optimistmic.

> If they shot the cat when it was in their yard it was loose and their actions were probably completely legal.

For domesticated animals like cats and dogs, this isn't true even on large personal tracts where shooting at nothing in particular is perfectly legal. You can't shoot someone's dog just because it's trespassing.

And this certainly isn't generally legal to discharge a firearm at a non-threatening animal in most any suburb or city (OP has "dozens of neighbors").

> They are an invasive species. There are many operations to cull invasive species (including cats) on a much larger scale. Why aren't you mad about those?

The comment about the cat is supposed to reflect on the character of the person driving loudly and abusing animals.

Just because wildlife management sometimes requires culling doesn't mean that animal cruelty is no big deal.
This headline really makes good news look like bad news.
Kaleidoscope and later on Appearance Manager in Classic Mac OS were so much fun. No OS theming system I’ve encountered since have been as capable as those were.
Sure, I was going to mention the tradeoff with the inefficiency but left it out for brevity.

I will say, though, that the same inefficiency in those geographic areas exist when building multistoried buildings. A ranch is much easier to cool in west texas/new mexico/arizona than a multistory building where the bedrooms and living areas need to be cooled.

I've notice the construction style also mitigates this somewhat. In the west where slab-on-grade is the norm, ducts run through the attic, meaning diffusers are in the ceiling. This makes natural convection of cold air more efficient, especially when coupled with something cheap like a ceiling fan. But at the end of the day, you're right that there's still substantially more air to condition.

I don't know if I'd say that was even a proximate cause of the texas power grid situation though which was largely due to weatherization issues. Can you elaborate?
>this new system uses a strategically placed sound meter to record decibel levels on the road, matching it to a license plate using a camera.

Are there more details as to how this works and how it prevents false positives? Would the rumble or crack of thunder and lightning trigger a microphone to incorrectly mark a vehicle as loud? Or are there algorithms processing the recorded sound beyond just pure dB/volume to determine if it's actually a muffler?
That's actually quite fun!
It's odd, don't you think, that an "artisan" of some kind, with a "specialist" product, would only make about 10% more per annum, adjusted for inflation, than a generalist churning out a staple food by hand?

You make a good point about nuclear potentially requiring less storage since it (in theory) provides a constant power. Unfortunately, whilst nuclear power tends to be constant while it is on, it still goes down a lot either for servicing (planned or unplanned) or because of lack of cooling water (a problem that's going to get much worse due to climate change). Worse when there is a lack of cooling water it tends to affect lots of nuclear plants simultaneously (eg France).

So in total, Nuclear is just as reliant on grid inter-connectors as solar/wind to perform optimally.

The difference is that solar/wind are sooooo much cheaper you can now build solar/wind/interconnectors/storage and still come in cheaper than nuclear. No country in the world ever figured out how to build out nuclear power efficiently and in the last ten years the decline in solar/wind/storage costs has been astronomical.

That's why Nuclear is going nowhere. If we were to give storage plants subsidies at a level with what nuclear receives, there wouldn't even be a discussion about this.
I don't think that broken corporate policies should dictate what the public web does. If they must use split-horizon DNS (which is the worst thing ever) and can't do a DNS challenge, there are still plenty of ways to make browsers avoid warnings; every IT department can push trusted certificates to workstations and mobile devices. It's built into every device management system in the world.

If you don't manage employee devices AND can't get TLS certificates to internal applications, the employees are right to be scared by the browser's warning. You have failed as a corporate IT department.
Except for voice [0], any fretless stringed instrument [1], any fretted string instrument with separate frets for sharps and flats [2], keyboard instruments that allow expression [3], keyboard instruments with split flat/sharp keys [4], and electronic instruments that allow unorthodox tunings without huge hassle [5]... I'm sure I'm missing some, but other than that you're totally right ;)

I wonder legally how 'loud' is assessed. A microphone is subject to a number of environmental anomalies- wind direction, a box truck next to a vehicle reflecting sound back to the mic etc.

A camera is a good visual representation of a vehicle being over a line, visual location speeding evidence accompanying data etc. This pilot project seems dangerously arbitrary. (Not a fan of overly loud vehicles but I am of civil liberties).

Similar deal here. Some asshole at my apartment got an expensive new car that literally the entire building (with god knows how many units, it's big) hears every single time he enters or leaves. He revs his engine twice on every single floor of the parking garage and all along the street I'm situated on. He'll even do it for hours on end (he did on Monday!). I honestly think he's trying to harass someone in particular because it's obscene at this point.

Literally one person. Always the same car. I am so sick of this shit. Management is sick of it but "can't do anything." I have yet to meet a neighbor who is not aware of this problem and sick of it.

I'm honestly amazed at the audacity of these people.
I love that scene. Thank you for quoting it.
I don't like the ridiculous number of settings you have to tweak to stop google from spying on you, 4 settings levels deep somewhere. I don't like that google made phone manufacturers take the "disable location" button out of the quick menu. I don't like the restrictive policies of the app store that is downright prudish, and how every app on the app store is just laden with crap and ads, and often also spies on you (i do use f-droid to circumvent most of that when possible). I don't like how you literally cannot control your phones update behaviour. I don't like how after a couple years, the phone will stop being updated and you'll have to buy a new one or just accept that your phone has security holes that will never be fixed. If you're using a modern phone os, you are fundamentally not in control of the device, and it will make sure at various points to remind you of this.
Honestly, I don't think this applies here, given this is the first sentence:

> What will the distributed data environment in Web3 look like?

As a web developer, I expected an interesting JSON-related post, so I was kind of disappointed by the intro (and it's not just the first sentence, the entire introductory paragraph talks about “web3”)…
That's fine. By the end you'll know the engine and be able to make it better.
That’s because the last thing anyone wants is a loud noise complaint to escalate into a shooting.
What happens to those who have other implanted devices, such as insulin pumps, that become unsupported? Even if we have a law that says all implanted medical devices must be supported for 'x number of years' or 'the lifetime of the user', that doesn't help if the company goes out of business. Quite the tricky issue and one we're likely to encounter more often going forward.
Has there really been "wide reconsideration" of that?

Or do we like to pretend there has, and that's all done now, but still treat the subject as taboo and avoid it?
> The entire concept of "war crime" is a post hoc rationalization for killing one's enemies after the conclusion of hostilities (see Nuremberg trials.)

The concept of universal laws of war to which all participants are bound and in principal accountable long predates the Nuremberg trials.

> Further, for much of human history, genocide (or the attempt thereof) was standard practice in warfare

For most of human history, slavery was a standard practice, both in and out of warfare, that doesn't make it right.
> But why does Linux have to tread that same path?

It doesn't, which is the beauty of open source. If enough people value this as much as you clearly do, there will always be options out there.

And, if there aren't enough people then you always have the (less practical, but still doable) option of rolling your own.
Investors bought a record share of homes in 2021. See where
Big kitchens with islands and casual dining space add so much value to a home today. People absolutely love making the kitchen a centerpiece room. It can be used for so many things.

I think in older homes the thought at the time was that the kitchen was a utility room meant for cooking, food storage and dishes. And that the living room was the center of it all.

How tall are you? At 240 you either have a lot off muscle, are very tall, or have a lot more than 20lb left to lose.

>The old houses still around are the exception to the rule, not the norm.

You need to get outside the beltway or at least go to some of the "bad" neighborhoods within it.

The only place your statement is close to true is very wealthy areas that are constantly being redeveloped. Other than the occasional prime lot or desirable commercial site new construction fills in around the old or adds on to it. Big lots get subdivided and a new structure goes on the empty chunk and buildings get additions. Basically nobody is demolishing any building that is sound because buildings are expensive and why would you waste a perfectly good one.

Generally speaking you only see good buildings get demolished when the land becomes worth so much relative to the structure that it makes economic sense to knock it all down and do a clean sheet because the little extra optimization you get from doing that is worth more than what you would have saved by keeping the sub-optimal structure.
They are sincere in wanting to know the truth, they are not outright malicious,

I disagree with that last part. Or perhaps it's just that the author is making the word "outright" do a fair bit of work there.

In my experience, there's a level of malice in the way they preferentially seek out the contrarian and deprecate genuine experts in favor of the ones who seem more exciting. They may like to imagine that they're doing no harm, but they will ignore the complaints of anybody experiencing harm. The longer they do that, the harder it is to attribute it to ordinary ignorance and self-centeredness, and it seems more likely to be an active malice that seems casual because it's so effortless.

It's the "just asking questions" guy, like the guy who's "just asking questions" about whether six million Jews really died in the Holocaust. The first time, you can pretend it's sincere ignorance. The second time, it's so clear that you should never have given the benefit of the doubt.
Tangent: We should outlaw leaf blowers in cities while at it. It's february and freezing out and for some reason the idiotic management in the apartment across the street has contracted some crew to do daily leaf blowers on nearly completely clean sidewalks disturbing probably hundreds of people WFH. Not to even mention how particularly awful leaf blowers are for the environment.

People always seem to ignore the obvious. In addition to advertising, Apple partners with third parties to sell stuff "directly" (with Apple as the middleman) to the computer owner after the sale of the computer is complete. Apple takes a cut. Music, e-books, software, etc. Apple wants credit card numbers for future use; most purchasers comply.

Buy stuff using an Apple computer and Apple makes money.

There once was a time when Apple computers were just computers, not an intended means for capturing further revenue after purchase by partnering with media companies and other sellers. There was no mandatory data collection after purchase. No submission of credit card numbers. I still have one of those Apple computers. The company changed. Whether that was in response to what other companies were doing, e.g., Google, "changes in the industry", etc., is left as a question for the reader.

A patent application from Apple some years ago described advertising embedded into the operating ssystem. (Imagine the computer refusing to boot until the user has viewed an ad.) Perhaps we could tell ourselves Steve Jobs was trying to protect computer owners from advertising by filing for claims to the most annoying advertising tactics imaginable, with the intent to never practice these inventions and to sue alleged infringers. No doubt online commenters will have more cogent explanations of what this application represents.

One of the BLM founders literally described herself and another founder as "trained Marxists". However that doesn't mean the movement itself is inherently Marxist. Hopefully we can all agree that Black lives do matter, even if some of the movement leaders hold abhorrent political views on other unrelated issues.

I do find it a bit odd though how someone who describes herself as a Marxist now owns multiple luxury homes.

Can Bitcoin Be a National Currency? El Salvador Is Trying to Find Out
This kind of thing isn't all that uncommon. Police don't do much about crime, really (no, not even in middle-class white suburbia), as far as investigating or trying to punish anything. If you tried to bring the issue to them, you'd likely end up in a nasty he-said-she-said thing with your neighbor, possibly inviting further attacks from them, or might even end up (one way or another) being the ones receiving fines or other punishment (say, if they started recording your every move so they can find something to take to the cops, HOA, et c).

Even if you caught it clearly on camera and can get the cops to give a shit, what's going to happen is probably a fine or probation, and now your demonstrably-shitty neighbors have a serious grudge against you. You've "won, but also lost so badly that you may end up having to move. So your best likely outcome, after much effort and possibly some expense, is a very Pyrrhic victory.
Agreed 100%. Then you have to bring in a Sr. Engineer to reorganize and rearchitect all the “not code.”
Ok, I think I'm getting it. Then some of the remaining work (it sounds like) is getting that flight sql proxy/plugin setup for 3rd party datastores but once that is done you could hook up and run either flight directly through the flight client or via ODBC/JDBC wrappers that make it feel a little more sqly.
