> Real humans are much more than self-interested; we are social beings who are defined - who experience the world - by caring (trigger word!), cooperating, or just giving. The theory of selfishness is provocative and widely repeated, but doesn't hold up to even a little scrutiny. Most of what humans do is for others.

Yeah this is where we disagree philosophically. I'm in the egoism camp. That is to say that when people care, cooperate, and give, it's really about them seeing that these actions result in the most benefit for themselves in the long run. We live in a society where if you're seen as selfish and uncaring, people can make your life miserable, and will no longer cooperate with you. Or they'll straight up attack you.

There's also painful feelings of regret and guilt when we fail to act in a way we've learned is the right, good way. And perhaps some of those emotions were ingrained into us from millennia of evolution, since groups that help one another are more likely to survive. The point is that avoiding these feelings of guilt is a powerful motivation, but it's still about how I will feel if I help someone.
> a billion over its lifetime not toothy enough for you

> They're going after big players

Don't you see the oxymoron in here? A billion is a non-event for a single one of the big players making their money on stalking, and you're saying that a billion over its lifetime (4 years) across all companies is toothy? Come on.

> my own complaints to the national regulatory body have resulted in me getting my own way.

I'm glad it works for you, and I guess you must live in a country where the regulator isn't completely useless. In my case, in the UK with the ICO, the best I managed to get out of them is a few letters which the company promptly ignored just like they ignored my own query, and this non-resolution still required significant admin work for me (just so they don't have an excuse to close your complaint on a technicality - despite being handed evidence of a GDPR breach).
>Looking externally at the company they’re listed as having 50,000-100,000 employees

Uhhhh. Do you mean Apple or Spotify? Spotify's 2021 Q4 press release says:

>At the end of Q4, our workforce consisted of 7,690 FTEs globally.
$272,000 cars are not really serious road going vehicles. Emissions per mile travelled may be atrocious, but adjusted for how far it will actually travel in its lifetime, it's probably no worse than a Nissan Leaf.
If that was the goal, wouldn't you do that in advance anyway before any suggestion you were bailing?
That's if you're laundering money deliberately. There are many things which are legally classified as "money laundering" even when no actual (other) criminal activity is involved. It's a "prove your innocence" situation—if you don't file the required paperwork and prove to the government's satisfaction that no laundering is taking place they will call that "money laundering" on its own. Or even if you do file all the paperwork officially required but your transactions resemble "structuring", whether deliberately or accidentally.

The 4th Amendment should have been read as including all financial transactions among "papers, and effects". AML/KYC laws are completely incompatible with a free society.

Perhaps. Maybe the SV firms have realized that prattling on about rockstars just leads to elevated wage expectations. They’re not needed for most of the work, as wage slaves do just fine. I looked at the SF area y2k and the commute really sucked. I doubt it’s better 20 years on.
> a feature C manages to have, but here's Rust's

This is clearly disingenuous. C's string formatting is a completely different thing from that Rust snippet or your snide remark about std::format.

I'd rather use printf than cout, I think iostream is clunky, but printf is definitely a footgun & a fairly common source of bugs itself. So much so that compilers had to add support for specifically recognizing printf() calls & validating the inputs.

Also don't forget C still doesn't have standard placeholders for sized types. Gotta use that derpy PRId64 & friends which makes printf() almost as ugly looking as iostreams.
Oh lord no. He's not wrong about SSO tears at the seams (even though he gets lots of finicky details wrong), but client certs are decidedly not the solution.
Right, there have been a few other CppCon talks about this, but the thrust is the same. Kate is an excellent speaker and so hers is a good introduction to the idea if you're (somehow) still of the opinion that the first week of a C++ course ought to be C and she has great motivating examples where doing this her way works out better for everybody. If C++ is in fact this good modern programming language, your C++ programming course should teach that language. If your excuse as to why the programming your students do is lousy is "Well, they didn't learn modern C++" that's your fault, you were supposed to teach that.

I actually think there are also important lessons to be learned when trying to teach any programming language as a first language, because beginners are likely to offer some illuminating questions, and that begins with the boilerplate (the Dobbs article calls it "scaffolding" but I think boilerplate is appropriate).

The boilerplate in C++ is very bad. I am convinced that it would be less bad (maybe still pretty bad, but less bad than say C) if right early on somebody had sat down with students learning this as a first language and noted down all the warts they run into and set about fixing as many of those warts as possible.

I'm from the US and have spent limited time in other countries, so I can only really judge based on what I've read, but it was my understanding that masks where common in a number of countries pre-pandemic, mostly the denser areas of Asia. Certainly I had seen plenty of pictures of crowded subways and walkways with far more people wearing masks than one would expect if only the sick were wearing them, and the above article, written in 2016 seems to confirm that impression.

It's worth noting that if your only wearing a mask because you feel sick and have decided to go out anyway.... Well your doing it wrong. Everyone understands that a surgical mask is not a highly effective barrier against the spread of a virus, be it cold, flu, or Covid. What it DOES do is help keep those little moisture molecules to yourself such that if your unknowingly packing one of these viruses you somewhat reduce the chances of spreading it. Even a small percentage reduction in spread when amplified across a large population can have a huge effect on the total number of cases.

When your symptomatic, and thus most likely to be contagious, just stay the heck home.
Meh. IMO we have bigger problems due to the protestant work ethic and a kind of performative (almost macho) desire to do things the hard way than we have from a lack of raw talent. I hope those with the courage to do something easy and get mocked for it ("three kids and an iguana" indeed) are rewarded.
The main problem of the outage was that users were logged out and thus unable to play what songs they had downloaded / cached.
Accuracy of Garmin GPS Running Watches over Repetitive Trials on the Same Route
"...This study examined the accuracy of three Garmin running watches of different technological generations using repetitive trials, over several years, by the same runner over the same route. The older watches, a Forerunner 205 and a Forerunner 220, showed similar accuracy when traversing the route. The newer generation watch, a Forerunner 45S, was found to be significantly less accurate in terms of both the trueness and precision of its distance measurements. This may indicate that Garmin, in competition with other manufacturers of similar devices, has chosen in recent years to prioritize device miniaturization and battery life over accuracy..."

I'm not sure you understood my comment.

Europe has lots of gas heaters, and gas electrical generation. Which means they can build lots of renewables without any need for storage. They just store the gas they would have burned when it's windy and sunny, and burn it when it's not.

Every gas heater replaced with a heat pump, increases this 'storage' capacity.

Until that stops being true, they have no real need for storage, just more renewables.

One cheap and effective way to do this, is to ban new gas hookups on newly built or refurbished buildings. This saves a lot of money. It sounds like NY is doing this, so good for them. Smart move New York.

Not what I meant, those were linked directly by the bit of Wikipedia I quoted.

I don’t know the implications of having these as a payload.

What size warheads can be mounted in this particular missile’s MIRV option? Are they typically all warheads or are most decoys? If multiple, are they likely to be redundantly targeting the same location, or is this used to target multiple locations from a single launch? The Wikipedia page on MIRVs basically answers “yes” rather than expanding my intuition for how these are likely to be configured.

The Avangard article specifies warhead payload range, but I have no idea how it’s intended to be used even if the maximum count per missile was not unspecified.

Simply not true. Read about the news industry from the founders to yellow journalism to the world wars to present day. There was never a time when news was objective. It wasn't created to be.

> I cannot accept the framing as only the last one: that we've magically discovered being unbiased is no longer a worthwhile goal

It was never an achievable goal. So what we should strive for is a diversity of opinions via a genuine set of diverse news organizations. Sadly, most of the media is owned by a few multinationals who themselves are owned by the same controlling interests.
50mpg is a pretty reasonable number still, from my use statistics.

> many of which wouldn't pass crash tests in the US. For example, the Smart Fortwo had to be increased in length to pass US crash tests.

The smart isn't really a common car in Europe. As for crash tests, some US vehicles wouldn't pass EU tests either. The two regulations test for different properties, and manufacturers optimize for that.

As for actual safety, trafic fatality is equivalent or better in Europe, especially for people not inside a car.
My family buys CDs. We're into a lot of less popular genres such as chamber, folk, jazz, etc. We attend performances, workshops, and so forth. I've asked the musicians quite bluntly: How should I buy your stuff, so you can make the most money from it? The answer is: Buy the CD right here. Most of the performers sell CD's at their performances -- their own and ones from their friends. We often go home with a couple of CDs. I rip them onto a file server.

Digital distribution sounded like a great idea when it was introduced, and it's been great for the "industry," but I don't think that small time musicians have figured out a way to monetize it.
Correct! Now not to say some basic competency was not there - b/c it was - but trade with west is a major part of their success sort of like Japan kind of presaged for them in the 1980s.

Funny thing: In the middle of January I ordered a Model 3, and the expected delivery was May/June. I really wanted it for around June, and not before, and I was told that it'd be fine, and not to worry because it wasn't going to be delivered earlier anyways.

This Monday they assigned a VIN, and called me to let me know that if I wanted there was a car waiting for me, and I could pick it up the next day. I had to refuse as it wasn't possible for me at the moment, and asked them for a later delivery date.

* I ordered the white Tesla Model 3 with white interior, and nothing else.

Anyone know of a self hosted audio streaming service that works reasonably well?
Depends on your listening habits. If you listen to a few albums a lot, buying the albums absolutely makes sense to make sure you'll always have them.

But for example me, I grew up listing to mixtapes and as a child/teenager spent many weekends in front of my sisters programmable 5 disc CD player to record songs from CDs borrowed from friends to cassette tapes. I never got out of this habit. While some albums I prefer to listen as a whole, in general I favor playlists. Streaming is great for this. Also especially YouTube has a lot of live recordings that aren't released otherwise.

I do buy quite a bit of digital and physical records from independent artist but then listen to them on Spotify. Because the streaming platforms tend to have horrible payment models. This I find much worse, than DRM and lack of ownership.
This case in Afula actually contradicts your point, as Israeli authorities upheld the sale.

I've had friends at FAANG companies get FOMO and quit, then come back within a year because the grass was browner. They've taken a comp hit in the process, but still made a firehose of money like anyone at a FAANG. People love to complain about relative inequalities without fully appreciating how good of a situation they have within society, so actually trying new jobs once in a while can be healthy and eye opening.

I've been fortunate enough to always leave companies on good terms while generally happy there. I've left for exciting new projects and challenges, rather than for compensation. Part of that is I try to be an agent for change when there's something I am frustrated with. I've also always given several months notice. I also have the mentality of committing to something for at least three years.

I haven't stressed out about compensation. I've always negotiated aggressively before accepting a job offer, and then just not worried about it. I've leaned toward equity over salary, and found that my salary naturally increased over time to stay competitive anyway. I have a reputation for being straight forward, honest and reliable, and that's paid off more than any negotiation or job change. I would have probably been the wealthiest today if I stayed at my first job, making a relatively comically low salary, but I wouldn't be as good of an engineer.

No, they didn't, much more than they do now.

But the ideological bias among the major media was more consistent, and when you get the same bias everywhere you look, it seems a lot like objectivity.

Yeah, big +1 on seasons and variety. I grew up on the east coast so I guess I'm just kind acclimated to it, but I never got being so obsessed with the weather.

Like when I go outside and it's freezing, am I like "yay"? No. But there is a coziness to the winter I appreciate, getting to go inside and warm up. And then warmer weather starts to come, and you feel relieved by it, you get to actually be like "yay, Spring is here!", instead of just getting acclimated to it being spring all the time. You get to cycle through different fashion styles too (which until a few years ago I wouldn't have really thought about, but have started to care about more recently). I think happiness is more about deltas than steady state, and so I think it is actually nicer to get to experience the variety.

But even ignoring all of that, the fact that weather is so important to someone that they consider moving over it just feels so alien to me.
I have issues with Plex regularly with file formats not playing nice, incorrect box art, content being labeled completely wrong, and random server hangs. It's OK, but I wouldn't say it's more convenient than Spotify. With Spotify I do literally nothing. With Plex I have to troubleshoot now and then. I don't see how self hosting a media collection is more convenient in any way.
