Well it’s one man shoving this huge decision onto a local group that lacks the credentials and oversight to judge such a big effect. They’re in charge of deciding if this thing is allowe to be build there yes or no. It makes sense that the locals are able to voice that, but currently they’re almost the sole authority on the matter with the government being unable to step in. So that’s where to me the big problem is. Alsointeresting detail, the government said it was unable to act before the recent elections that showed the locals were actually widely against this idea and it was just the incumbent municipality that thought it’d be a good idea. Most of them are now without a job. After these results the government suddenly did find a way. I’m happy that it’s shot down but so find the whole going about super weird.

Yes indeed in this situation the actual problem is the high level government causing this oddity. From now on, and also how it used to be before most responsibilities were delegated to the locals, the government itself will be in charge of these decisions.
It's also a bad idea because the best surgeons often take on the most difficult cases you can't necessarily compare doctor to doctor without knowing the types of patients they treat.
That might be a "we need to change how we're generating URLs because we want to refactor stuff / not support the old format because it was too guessable or something" thing.
Sure, capitulated, or developers did not inform them, the notice did, and they complied.

Given the short timeline, couldn't it just be an honest mistake?

My point in the reply was to followup on events, the fact they "capitulated" was left out.
I don’t necessarily disagree. A lot of people seem to assume that self-driving will be super-cheap, hence my use of the term treasonable. In fact, some trike today’s IRS deductions are probably the floor especially for anyone who isn’t trying to use a clunker of some sort.

I actually agree that today’s Uber/taxi rates are probably a good estimate for many years even once self-driving is practical.

And I was just considering ordering a bunch of their gear. I guess I'll go with ring - what choice have I?
Don’t play the pronoun game, it makes the conversation hard to follow and reply to. Which one of the four things - privacy, freedom of expression, gun ownership, or right to bear cash - are you finding jarring?
This sounds like an education issue; if you were to say "wait until the code changes, then go for it", they have thirty seconds to read and type six digits.

If this still doesn't work for them, perhaps a hardware token they can tap might be a better solution.
How do you define a meeting? Would a conversation between two work people count, because that's the usual definition.

Normally when you cut off a block of synchronous communication time, it just ends up as a trickle of questions coming in all day with the answers coming in a few hours later.
This is exactly what I'm currently jumping into as a 'new' dev. I've been coding for about 3-4 years, am working on an ANCIENT php in-house ERP (we're still running v5!), and find the technical debt/unneeded complexity more shocking by the day. I've been in this position 3 months and feel like I've barely even scratched the surface of what is going on under the hood.

Teaming up for training is absolutely crucial at this time.
Right.

Here's a copy of the paper, if anyone is interested:

Moisture floating out of your mouth is aresolized moisture.
I bought from a computer store during a localized power outage about 15 years ago (not the great blackout of 2003). I paid cash, the clerk hand-wrote a receipt on a pre-printed form, and presumably they kept a second copy of the receipt to input electronically when the power eventually came back.
Are you perhaps confusing hectares with the wattage as I read the following on Reuters:

The facility, which will use 1.38GWh of electricity and cover 166 hectares (410 acres) of farmland, is expected to run on green energy and provide the local economy a boost but has been criticised by some politicians and environmental campaigners.

1.38gwh is almost trice the optimal output of Flevoland and is indeed more in line with the total power consumption of Amsterdam. And will instead reflect several percentages of the national use.
At least we don't have to cut off the tips of our tonkers to participate in society. Yet.
In cases like these, I tell them "wait until the code changes, then go for it", so that they have thirty full seconds to read and type six digits.

If this still doesn't work for them, perhaps a hardware token they can tap might be a better solution.
I was pleasantly surprised that even their developer support plan is great.

When I had issues with using their services, they replicated what I was doing, and either help me fix mistakes I made, or (in most cases) offer a workaround, if it's something that their API doesn't support.
I just love the way Ann and he write up the bioassays. Take a look, for instance, at this one, for "2C-B":

The blade dryers also make an excellent place to capture palm prints. People slowly push their clean hands spread wide in and out. I'd recommend against using such a device at a hacker conference...
As a curious bystander, I am very excited about both the social/ideological and technical merits of Mastodon, but I would never use (what appears to be) a Twitter-like format myself. I prefer content-centric over people-centric and medium/long form text over short form. Even Facebook was a better fit for me, in certain situations (primarily private groups) than Twitter is.

Does anyone know (1) if the current Twitter-like format is due to an explicit affinity towards it within the community - or due to some other reason and (2) will Mastodon allow for other formats in the future in some shape or form?
I think this would have certainly been in the cards in the past, but at least for the moment there is regulatory backlash against anything seen as anticompetitive, especially buyouts like you referenced. (I Work with M&A teams)FB is having to pay significantly above market to attract and retain talent, and the use patterns are not well aligned to homegrown competitors to tik tok. Some might argue this is why such a big bet is being placed on the “metaverse” business plan. But these trends may be the biggest long term challenge they have faced since the rise of mobile.
> grift

It's not grift, it's people with limited information and resources doing the best they can with their expertise. Should your doctor, lacking certain information, do nothing?

Every profession is the same: You rarely have the ideal of perfect information, enough time, enough resources. That's where human adaptability and expertise come into play: You find a way.

> I feel like my entire understanding of the medical system in the US was a lie.

How much is our responsibilities, especially as educated, informed persons?
Yeah, sort of. One of the more interesting things about radio is that everything is an "antenna" :-). When I got my amateur radio license I found in talking with other HAMs that there is a lot of "lore" and not nearly enough "science" in those discussions.

The ARRL antenna book does a pretty good job of pulling out the basics from electrodynamics to the point where you can use simplified "rules" to build antennas to achieve various results. One of my favorite type of antenna is a "magnetic loop" because they are smaller and more easily portable.
It’s not illegal in Russia and in fact is very common to store savings in USD/EUR, both in cash or bank deposit form.

Nothing bad happened to those forms of savings.
That's what I did, I got a Vivobook F510UA, and upgraded the RAM to after a few years 24GB, then a few months ago I changed to a 1TB SSD when I started getting bad sectors.

The battery is definitely a bit worn by this point, but I mostly just use it as a desktop, I have a $100 HP from I don't even know when that I use for actual on the go work, it's smaller and lighter and less likely to ruin my life if stolen on the bus. And it's even fast enough to run FreeCAD!
engage your day with hobbies
A lot of people in this thread are missing the main problem that people have. Yes, cash can be inconvenient, but by eliminating cash entirely you are putting 100% of all wealth into the power of banks. Those without a bank account will be left behind and FORCED to open one.

This gives banks and governments immense control and power over literally all the money you own. Given said power, they will abuse it for their own profit. It's not a question of "IF they abuse it" it is a GUARANTEED. They WILL abuse this power. If you deny this fact, you are living in a fantasy. Give people power, and it will be used, 100% of the time, and not to your benefit.
Since you didn't say it, I'll mention that fediverse is not limited to microblogging. For long form blogging there is, e.g., https://writefreely.org/

To me it feels like RSS on steroids. Best of the modern web (technology) combined with the best of early 2000s web (decentralization).
Not if you don't tell them about it.
The numbers align with my anecdata. I'd say $832/year is probably around what people I know with a newish (0-3 years) Tesla pay. And people I know with an ICE car probably average $600 or less.

Your source seems to argue in favor of the numbers as well. If we just look at your Toyota and BMW numbers, the average holds true if there are 11 Toyotas to every BWM. That sounds plausible.
I expect you'll get plenty of answers here, and I suspect they'll all be along the same lines;

I don't trust Google.

Of all the companies I've dealt with, they speak their intentions the clearest - they don't care about me or my needs. There is no customer support (since we are not customers) - even if we give them money for GCP etc, we are seen as Users not Customers.

They're famous for killing products, they're famous for changing pricing (hello Google maps), they're famous for no phones.

I'm happy to be their user - search (and ad words) still works for me - but there's simply no way this is a company I want to do business with, and given any alternative I'll use that instead.

I get it, 99.lots % of people will never have a problem. The ones that do are completely screwed. Risk is not just about probability, but also about impact, and the penalty for failure for Google is existential - and that seems like too high a risk for me.
Rust did partially do this; one of the previous generation of packages here, failure, had most of its ideas eventually rolled into std::errror::Error, which enabled this next generation of packages (anyhow, thiserror, miette, eyre... the only one I'm not sure about is snafu, which did exist before, but I'm not sure if it got more improvements due to these changes or not.)
The article notably omits Multics, which was written in PL/I: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multics

Multics, first released in 1969, was a major influence on Unix. From the Wikipedia article:

> Multics was the first operating system to provide a hierarchical file system, and file names could be of almost arbitrary length and syntax. A given file or directory could have multiple names (typically a long and short form), and symbolic links between directories were also supported. ... It was also the first to have a command processor implemented as ordinary user code – an idea later used in the Unix shell. It was also one of the first written in a high-level language (Multics PL/I), after the Burroughs MCP system written in ALGOL.

> smallish bills

That works in Germany but not in the US. Euro bills are easy to distinguish by color and size and start at 5. With dollars you have a stack of greenish paper, many of which are $1 bills. Manageable, but definitely more inconvenient than Euros.
If I wanted to pay uber-level fares instead of owning a car, that's already a possibility. Most people will continue to own an older ICE car.
You cannot just throw technology at a human problem and expect it to be solved. Scams will always exist as long as there is someone to be scammed. No amount of technology can "solve" this problem.
What did you use to backup your google photos?
I mean...maybe. I am not up on it enough to say, though my intuitive answer is "it's not that simple." But that's just not how any existing stuff works, too. If you want to work with the ton of middleware, etc. that already exists, you work the way Unreal (or Unity, etc.) do.
> The fallout from the over-criminalization of opioids, meth, etc is a big reason that you're observing these behaviors.

Didn't the massive opiod epidemic occur before they were criminalized?
See, for a recent example in a supposedly free first world country, Canada. Even people who donated to the truckers before the crackdown got targeted in the bank account freezes.

Just like with any bulk data collection and surveillance technology, it is only a question of how soon it will be abused.
I suspect most places would just not bother calling the cops (or maybe call them with the expectation that you won't stick around to be arrested), eat the loss, and ask you not to return in the future. They might not have the ability to get that money from you, but person-who-wants-to-pay-cash isn't a protected class, so the 'private property, you aren't welcome' option would probably be their go-to.
What's New in Devtools – Chrome v100
Lovely little example of a completely meaningless statement that sounds good only superficially. Since they can always claim that "minimum amount" required includes nearly anything they can grab about users or non-users because "engagement" or whatever technical argument they decide to shit out, any quantity of data vampirism can be perfectly justified by the internal logic of their claim.
Pleroma is a Mastodon-compatible (i.e. it federates with it) competitor that allows longer form posts.

I don't use it myself, but I often notice users from Pleroma servers writing much longer messages than are allowed on Mastodon.
Sometimes master’s arrogance is pure ego, which is always counter-productive to expertise.

Other times, though, arrogancy is more of a moat that saves time and resources by warding off bikeshedding or harmful suggestions coming from insufficient expertise, it is intended to be broken through if you have an actual point and underneath the personality is open to new ideas and cares about delivering the best outcome. (Moreover, if all you have is expertise, and a clueless but very politically adept team member suggests a Very Bad Idea, you may not just lose time fighting but lose the actual fight—so you’d rather put it down before it grows.)

There’re also all the individual ways of expression where a person may seem arrogant or rude just from their choice of words, whereas in fact it is a sign of friendliness & means of reducing social distance in their world.
> Democracy is absolutely not about individual anything.

You can write that, but clearly most of the democratic world very strongly disagrees. We can nitpick the literal definitions of the words, but we know that people include self-determination and human rights with democracy.
I too have an attention deficit and bad memory (this is why I hate interviews where you are asked to recite concepts and textbooks definitions, framework functions with parameters and so on). I get over it by understanding the concepts, understanding the big picture and researching today what I just forgot two months ago.

I think you are mistaking in believing you have trouble explaining because you use a different thought process.

For almost everyone of us, figuring a complex system means you deconstruct the system in small pieces, understand the small pieces, construct the system again in your mind along with making a kind of mind diagram about how it works. But when it comes to explain to others you use a different process than you used to figure it out. You already have that mind diagram, so you proceed like in most text books or in articles by already providing the big picture and going in details only when you feel is needed.

I also write good code, but it doesn't have anything to do with attention or memory. You write good code because you believe it's important to have something that is working well and also will be readable and maintainable. And writing good code is something almost every programmer can do if the working environments permits - i.e. they are not valuing churning bad code fast over writing good, reliable code.
We don't need robotaxis for that. Just put giant parking lots at subway stations.
GE bullish on growth of wide body aircraft in India as aviation revives
Too late. The list of places that do not accept cash is growing. It's a common restriction at food trucks for example. Maintaining a Square reader is just so much easier than a cash box and a trip to the bank, plus the security concerns.

It's too bad. I actually prefer cash. But I understand where merchants are coming from.
I noticed that too, and I can't really tell if they literally mean exoteric or are misusing it when they mean esoteric.
Tesla's FSD is really far from actually being full self-driving. There's a lot of computer required to get from 85% perfect to 99%. Uber and Cruise also both have lidar which is spendy.
Seems a bit draconian to force mob programming onto every programmer everyday, but I also find the idea appealing if I was selecting the team & when to do it -- there are definitely teams & topics where I would find this flow productive & helpful! For example, we had a similar arrangement back when we were doing ACM programming competitions.
Seriously?! How did they justify donating to the truckers as something to be punished? That sounds almost like a police state to me.
Yes it is a standard, just like ISO C one is, and traditionally they go go together, just like you never use IP on its own.

I suggest you to have a look around RTOS, mainframes, BeOS, and even NT history regarding POSIX support.
MDMA is not a new drug. It was used for therapy as far back as the 1980's.

It doesn't merely "make people happier", but seems to actually help people face and let go of their trauma, forgive themselves and others, feel love and trust where they couldn't before, communicate with their loved ones more effectively, and has stopped some from killing themselves.

There is a lot of evidence that it effectively treats severe, treatment-resistant PTSD -- something no other type of treatment does even remotely as well, which is why it's likely to be fully approved by the FDA soon.

To compare its effects to other amphetamines, except at the most superficial level is ridiculous, as none of them have these effects.

As for dealers, I'd be happy if dealers (the street or suit kind) sold effective medication that improves people's lives. Of course the legal providers are better because then we can be assured of their medicines' safety and purity, and we won't have people thrown in jail and being killed in turf wars over something that helps people.
Indeed you have correctly identified the cost and benefits.

You determined the cost is too high, as would I, and decided to bail. That's exactly how a free market is supposed to work.

You are not the first, and you won't be the last, to come to this conclusion with grammerly, but presumably lots of people choose the other way. Which is fine for them. Again, the free market in action offering us all choices.
Privacy and cash are closely linked. Credit card companies are the experts on consumer spending data.
As an IC I had spend so much effort in knowing the system. My pointed hairy boss has to know how hard it is to know my value. The only way he knows is to compare with others who take similar or longer time to implement similar feature. With pair programming I will speed up my coworkers at the cost of my pointed hairy boss thinking my job is easier and I am the one who is less capable.
Have a look a the decentralised projects put there then. Ssb (secure scuttlebutt) seem to fit your description, but fair warning: this setup comes with its own set of problems around moderation and other things.
I love pair programming !!!for specific tasks!!! Just like TDD, i think its pragmatic and should be based on your needs. But all or nothing, naaa, thats just coolaid or micromanagement.
i hire work from upwork - usually small jobs - couple hundred bucks here and there - sometimes more.

not sure what any of their fees are. i prob should start paying attention more.

i wonder why they changed the fee structure - if that's what happened.
For a cash transaction is it even possible if the store does not have matching change on hand?

That is actually a common annoyance here in Germany, where bakeries will complain or even refuse a sale if you try to pay with a "too large" bill, e.g. 20 for 4.50.
> The discussion is on digital vs cash transactions. If we're setting the stage in Ethiopia for instance, I think there isn't much to argue

I'm not talking about Ethiopia, but advanced economies. Maybe you are in a bubble where everyone arranges everything online?
A disagreement indeed,

I just migrated my instance by repointing the webserver container image at the one in this repo. So far, so good.
The activitypub standard isn’t limited to tweets. There are Reddit-like and YouTube-like implementations.[0]

The privacy would depend on the server rules. You could have a long/medium form blog that is federated using activitypub.

But there’s a significant technology toll to pay to get these up and running in my experience. It’s still not like signing up for Twitter or facebook. Which probably makes for better communities once you’ve managed to make it inside.

> Based on the sentiment and 2 reasons above, you should have pulled all your money out of a bank so you can control your cash.

> So have you? or why haven't you?

Not parent but share the sentiment. I have not. I don't see the conflict. Someone who's e.g. very pro freedom of speech might not personally worry about getting censored, but may be worried what happens if those on the edges get censored. It's the same here. Most have no immediate personal worry, and that's perfectly compatible with having an opinion about how the government should regulate monetary instruments.
Another cynical take would be that you were given perfect training for a software team in industry. Every team tends to have a small number of individuals trying to get that A, while their colleagues are not only satisfied with a B or a C but spend most of their days in meetings trying to ensure they drag down the software to their target.
You can count on one hand the number of countries that tax their citizens who earn outside of their country.
The US grows corn on 90 million acres of land [1], and a third of the corn production is used to produce ethanol [2]. That’s 30 million acres that we use right now to supposedly combat climate change. Except that all the carbon that that corn scrubs from the air is then put in gas tanks and promptly burned. If we replace that with forrests, you could get 3 billion trees. This just by repurposing land that was already dedicated to carbon capture.

They say we need 1 trillion trees to get to net zero emissions.

They didn't punish a single person who donated. That's just ridiculous.
Specifically, roughly 70% of the federal budget is spent on the military, social security, medicare, and medicaid.
