It was suspicious from the get go. Trudeau insulting a movement which are peacefully against specific government programs (legit by any democratic standard), virtually disappearing (modulo sporadic casual insults) and then refusing to re-assess the mandates, or even talk to the organizers – despite the pandemic getting better and research showing vaccines being close to worthless for preventing spread. It's not uncommon that politicians are so tonedeaf and insulated from the people they govern, but with Trudeau's background, I find it hard to believe he would misjudge and respond to the situation so badly, if he genuinely wanted a resolution. It almost seems like they were welcoming civil unrest in order to suddenly show up as saviors once regular people with no dog in the fight got tired enough, and use the opportunity to expand their authority – a "bring it on" mindset. In either case, the timing of such reckless politics couldn't be worse, given the toll the pandemic has had on all of us.

I think Cuomo is maybe a bad example of why you shouldn't care. The Cuomo affair should hold a lot of interest because it was a true test of the health of public institutions.

Here is a powerful public official who was lauded by the media for his response to COVID, while simultaneously implementing terrible public health policies in old age homes that led to thousands of deaths, who then fudged his COVID reports to the CDC, and passed legislation that shielded executives that managed old age homes from liability for following those terrible public health policies. Other representatives tried to draw attention to these problems but couldn't get traction because Cuomo was a media darling in how he stood up to Trump.

Cuomo's public image was further bolstered by his brother at CNN, and with all this free publicity Andrew signed a multimillion dollar deal to write a book about his career.

But his incompetence and fraud wasn't enough to trigger a fall from grace, it took several sexual harassment complaints.

So as a health check on your democratic republic, I'd be a little worried given the multiple failures up and down the line: failure of the executive to implement sensible policies and report data accurately, failure of the press to check their claims, provide coverage free of conflicts of interest and otherwise keep them executive branches in line, failure of the justice department to prosecute blatant misconduct.
>I think people got spoiled by Macbook touchpads- no, and I mean NO, Linux/Windows laptops out there have a comparable touchpad to the Macbook. What the Framework has is good for what's available.

That's a dealbreaker for me. I'm not one of those people that carries around en external mouse and stuff. I bought a laptop for a reason. "Better than the hot garbage trackpad on my wife's Dell" is not good enough.

Okay, sure. So your argument boils down to that's the way it is and it's practical.

>There is no "staged media campaign" to smear people, the media was reporting on the fact that having kids in the red zone had become illegal with the emergency orders.

At the point when the reporting on kids began on every network, there were no emergency orders.

Fair. Point taken.

That’s the Old Testament, which is not literally/strictly followed by Christians, nor by most people in other Abraham of religions. If you want to follow the Old Testament, be my guest, but you should also keepeth the Sabbath, giveth up pork, and kill anyone working on a Sabbath, doing seances, or says “god damn”. And if your child disobeys you, you don’t have to murder them yourself, but you must at least get your neighbors to murder them for you.

The New Testament compares homosexuality to greed and says that you won’t “inherit the kingdom of heaven.” If this woman wants to have a consistent world view, she should also check to make sure the websites she builds won’t be used for any greedy purposes such as usury. In fact, if she accepts payments by credit card…

That great, then you should have no trouble passing an actual Constitutional Amendment recognizing that right in a way that can't be interpreted away. I'll just sit here and wait while you go and do that.

> The reason it's not guaranteed is precisely because the united states is not a democracy, but a democratic republic, giving significantly more political power to some voters based on where they live.

You omit an awful lot of history in order to sound snarky. In reality, we started with a loose confederation of independent states. Some skillful negotiators tried to convince them all to unite into one nation. Naturally, the more rural states with smaller populations were concerned that their opinions and needs would be steamrolled by the more populous states, so to bring them all aboard, those negotiators biased a few things towards them a little bit. Everyone, including those more urban states, signed onto it, and everyone lived happily ever after*.

Now, making those states' concerns appear rather prescient, quite a lot of modern urban progressives seem to want to renege on that promise, primarily because they think they can get away with it, and they hate those people anyways.

> and will swoop/attack any intruders during mating season

This makes it sound like they're unreasonable or aggressive, which is very much not the case. They're just defending their nests from perceived threats.

>They also recognise individual humans - which can be good or bad depending on your relationship with them

This also means that if you're a regular in the area, you will have a reputation with them and (assuming you don't go out of your way to harass them and ruin said reputation) they will not bother to swoop. When I was a boy I spent a lot of time playing in a park near my house which had a number of magpie families, and was not swooped or threatened once.
The customer’s viewpoint isn’t the only one that matters. If you’re a Muslim who believes what the Prophet—the one who exemplifies the perfect man—said to be true, then what you’re being asked to create makes a big difference.

While the Supreme Court will address this on First Amendment grounds, that doesn’t mean religion is irrelevant. Speech is deeply intertwined with religion. There is a long history of forcing people to engage in speech contrary to their religious beliefs as a way to attack and destroy the religion.
> people don't care enough, or don't have their shit together enough, to fight back even if they are being surveilled and manipulated and used for profit.

Yet. Some fintech/crypto/CBDC proposals on the table are orders of magnitude more intrusive than anything in the history of money. Let's see how current events impact public perception. How many people have seen this clip from the IMF meeting in Oct 2020, where Swiss BIS director Carstens commented on CBDCs, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVmKN4DSu3g&t=1451s

> With cash, we don't know who is using the 100 dollar bill today ... a key difference with CBDC is that the central bank will have absolute control on the rules and regulations that determine the expression of that central bank liability .. also we will have the technology to enforce that ... if an advanced economy issues a CBDC, and someone in a 3rd country wants to use it, it will require the consent of the central bank of the residence of that person, therefore the degree of control will be far bigger.

'It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.'
For me, no ads, no upsell spam and no unwanted feature pushed down my throat are more important than anything else, therefore I've went back to actually buying individual albums. They sound better like that anyway (yes I know they don't but I'm just an unreasonable ape after all).

For people who are there for the recommendations, perhaps finding a community with similar taste could help. As in, interact with humans instead of algorithms. Yes it's more time consuming and way less efficient in general, but perhaps what you find could sound better for you too?

It's a preparatory phrase, and does not limit the rights to an organization. Remember, the 1st 10 Amendments were just meant to reiterate inherent rights in the individual, and ensure that they were not encroached upon by a tyrannical government.

”If you're not catching the exception, you don't need”

Exactly. But the upstream caller of your function might need it.

And that’s the beauty of it. If I don’t know how to handle a particular error in one context, I can just leave it and let it propagate upwards.

For example downloadFile()->parseHttpResponseStrean()->readSocket()

If readSocket throws a timeoutError I don’t need every http library to explicitly deal with it. What can they even do about it, apart from retrying? The application level code calling the downloadFile function is still free to catch the error and gracefully show an error to the user or use a default file from disk if they please.

Even if we assume it's a dark pattern, don't you agree it's not your decision to reject it or not. The moral decision is the company/product team's. You can raise the points on why it shouldn't be done but straight away rejecting it is childish. End of the day they must have gotten it done with someone else and you would have done it anyway (as per your words) if financial situation isn't good.

I’ve stayed at my current job 24 years. I was hired at a Senior level above my experience with better pay than I probably deserved as I was 18 month out of uni. Still, my total increase is 278%. I had a 7 year span in the middle with almost no increase - about 7%. I wonder if those seven years coincide and were during an economic downturn?
This decision is about the fee Apple proposed when using other payment providers (27%. Add 2-3% for payment processor and you're back at 30%). Unsurprisingly, this arrangement was found wanting.
Good point, thanks. The fried shrimp I had was soaked in oil. My understanding is that unsaturated oils are somewhat stabilized by saturated fats. Maybe I'll take some coconut oil chasers if I go to BWW again.

I can understand Bluetooth, but which part of USB was disastrous?

If you mean modern USB as in profile and marketing segmentation? That has nothing to do with the USB success story.

The Initial USB 1.0 was if I remember correctly was only about 100 pages long if you ignore hub and electrical part. Way more complicated than Serial or Parallel port, but 100 page was manageable. And comprehensible. And well worth the effort, at the time we were severely I/O limited. ( But Parallel Port was fun :D )

I think USB 3.2 is already a 2000 page spec... and I didn't even look at USB 4.

I built https://legiblenews.com for this very reason. Once per day at 6p PST it grabs the latest headlines from Wikipedia and displays them in a minimal format that does not induce anxiety.

Yes, kinda. If the drive completes the flush but gets disconnected before the kernel can read the ack then I can get an error from fcntl(). In theory it's possible I could get an error from write() even though it succeeded but I don't know if that is possible in practice.

In any case the file's last line will have a counter value +1 compared to what I expected. That is counted as a success.

Failure is only when a line was written to the file with counter==N, fcntl(fd, F_FULLFSYNC, 1) reports success all the way back to userspace, yet the file has a value < N. This gives the drive a fairly big window to claim it finished flushing as the ack races back to userspace but even so two of the drives still failed. The SK Hynix Gold P31 sometimes lost multiple writes (N-2) meaning two flush cycles were not enough.
Lots of things aren't cloud native applications. Most of the internet still runs on random C, Java, and PHP apps happily humming along on a handful of servers.

nobody actually cares enough to bust money laundering if it's not causing publicly visible problems.

A one hour cursory look on public clearnet hacking forums will surface hundreds of felonies by people with poor opsec, Feds scroll past them on a daily basis. It's not what they're after.

And no, the IRS has been trimmed to bones for decades, they probably audit <10 laundromats via water and power analysis a year, the same way Apple built literally two iPhone recycling robots (that do a thousand devices a year) but spend millions on marketing.

Inflation all by itself is already effectively creating a cashless society over time, at least if no new notes with larger denomination are being printed (and historically speaking, the trend has even been the opposite, namely there used to be 500, 1.000, 5.000 and 10.000 dollar bills up until 1969 [1]).

So this has been a long time in the making, really.

How is this any different than everything else that is connected the grid. Sure a nation state could brick some cars or force them to drive without a driver. Shutting down critical infrastructure such as electricity generation, or water purification would do far more damage.

As a Canadian it’s like living with a bunch of lunatics and I can not believe so many people are okay with this. All I can say is I will never miss an election again. We need Trudeau gone badly but he has a lot of support from the east and no other party is positioned to beat him in an election. The ndp have sided with him on so many things I can no longer vote for them and the choices are limited.

> Governments can make it a felony (jail time, fines) to interact with your wallet, effectively freezing it.

Governments already make it a felony to possess various illicit substances above a certain quantity. That hasn't done much to curtail the drug trade.

More to the point: if a government attempted this, it would open up every other Bitcoin user to a DoS attack; I would just need to send some money around to well-known addresses to "freeze" those wallets, too.

> And because bitcoins are infinitely traceable, governments can make any bitcoins that at any time originated from your wallet property of the state (i.e. any wallet held in an exchange that comes in possession of one of your coins can have those coins confiscated).

They would need to control the private keys in order to actually perform that confiscation. Tokens are the property of whomever actually controls the wallet; the feds can "freeze" however much they like, but there ain't really much they can do outside of a very targeted attack (i.e. one such that the costs of performing that attack vastly outweigh the benefit unless I'm some Bitcoin millionaire and I'm careless enough to keep everything in a single wallet).

> (The simplest approach for regulators implementing this system is to declare ALL wallets frozen, and to require public registration of wallets to unfreeze them, e.g. by being on an exchange with existing KYC laws. This makes all new private wallets useless prior to registration, and makes it a felony to transact with unregistered wallets. Exchanges would then literally prevent people from transacting with unregistered bitcoin wallets. Existing KYC laws are sufficient for governments to regulate bitcoins in this way.)

All that would accomplish would be to shift traffic to exchanges that operate outside KYC (which was always possible, given that there's nothing stopping two people from exchanging cryptocurrency for other things in meatspace, including fiat currency or actual goods/services). It would also, again, open up the KYC wallets to a DoS; if even so much as a single transaction from an unregistered wallet is enough to feloniously taint a registered wallet, then a malicious actor with even a tiny amount of money to burn could do so pretty easily and turn all sorts of innocent people into felons overnight - rendering such a regulation useless.
