But no random consumer analytics company is going to buy Visa or Amazon and all their data for six or seven figures, or whatever this would be valued at after a couple of years.

Why is it worth anything? The users of this system are the people with enough to lose. Top-1%ers. With deep metadata stored about their purchasing habits. The direct marketing and informatics value would be immense.

I'm with the GP and many other comments here. This data is valuable, both against you (in targeted marketing and theft) but also to you. You should collect this data, store it yourself, offline, in a safe with those other documents and keepsakes you could never ever replace. It's the same process. It's probably easier on a bit of paper too.
If Russians get used to using VPNs, they might have more opportunity to check independent news sources and see how the war is going, and what people in other countries think.

Ironically, blocking Russian IP addresses could be seen as a form of non-violent protest against Russian web censorship.

This is helpful and confirms my suspicions.

One question to clarify your setup -- So the 4k monitor is connected directly to your mac with a thunderbolt cable, one of the QHD monitors is connected directly to your mac through HDMI, and the second QHD monitor is connected through the CalDigit dock?

If you don't mind, can I ask why not just connect both QHD monitors through the CalDigit dock?
If you want to build user interfaces, I'd recommend learning Cocoa or Qt, which are both well-designed UI libraries. (Java/Swing is okay, but Win32 has a limiting design, and MFC is crap. Was pretty unimpressed with Android's UI, but haven't really used it enough to have a quality opinion.) HTML was designed for documents and its model is unsuited for UI. If you're going to learn for research first, then in my opinion you'd be better off learning how to do it right, and then if you still want to use the DOM, you'll have a better idea on what would be an effective framework to make/use.
Same here! I wanted to learn it and Overtone years ago, tried to, realised my brain was just not prepared ;p.

I have a bit of time now and I am diving in again and am more determined this time!

I got clojurescript going with react native, and having fun so far. If you need inspiration check out Rich Hickleys talks. He keeps me going through the hard times!
I've been happy with my A51. I haven't even bothered to change the stock launcher. It lets me organize the app drawer alphabetically which is basically all I care about. The email client is decent and there's no ads I see. The Galaxy store has ads but that's insanely easy to ignore. The phone is admittedly not the fastest but I only notice that in the occasional game. The features I do care about like the screen, NFC, SD card slot all work great. Often the faster cheaper phones skimp on the screen and always leave out NFC.

And yeah split screen is better than stock.
Everyone is a hypocrite from some context.

Really I just don’t think anyone should be above the real hands on work of supporting their existence.

The promise of human colonization of all of space time is still a high minded fantasy which makes this “hype/gossip my way to wealth” seemed designed to intentionally manipulate the same basal biology religion accidentally latched onto.

Who knows, maybe rockets to Mars are all wrong and we should be doing something completely different; information doesn’t need to just travel in a ship, but Star Trek seems to live long and prosper in his head.
My point was that there are accelerators in the cloud which are not available to purchase by the general public and for a time the same applied also to GPUs in a practical sense (i.e., GPUs were being sold in principle but were out of stock for months on end).

Depending on your individual time value of money, it can make sense to rent even a high rate so you can access this hardware now.
The gov created the entire messed up system with loan guarantees among many other complexities. The current situation is like slapping a bandaid on a severed limb… it fixes nothing.

I’ll bite. Yes I am, but on the other hand none of the SEC’s decisions have impacted me negatively. I have never held XRP for example, so while I dislike them it’s entirely because I don’t believe they should exist in the first place, they haven’t cost me money.
Closed source, sends my personal data out on the network, exists in a space with tons of great options already like Alacritty, Kitty, Foot, (I mean if you’re on a Mac Terminal.app is actually nice albeit closed source). No reason for me to give you my data (which includes stuff I do for work) for whatever conveniences you’re shilling.

That’s a nope from me Dog.

One thing I like about this terminal is that it is one of the few that will highlight your terminal tab if it had output and you haven't looked at it yet. When you look the highlight disappears.
Oh yeah: I am not intending to mean that the new UI is good, only that it is still somehow better than the old flow ;P.

This is exactly what I just set up! Super cool - coming from doing Redux sagas and hooks and redux and all that stuff on RN it's been really interesting. Would you recommend Shadow vs Krell? I have tried both and so far Shadow was the most seamless, but Krell seems the most lightweight.

If you care to share, i'd love to learn what you are building with it.

That is a disadvantage, but pipelines are very valuable. For example, Russia would love to sell gas to China, which would love to buy it, but pipelines take a heck of a long time to build. And regional, lower volume pipelines can be a nightmare to build.
“It's either this or one of its competitors rises to take them on at some point and we get a bifurcated society where specific companies cater to specific politics. That may be unavoidable anyways.”

His point is that a tall and assertive woman would be less likely to be made CEO than her male contemporary.
In the USA there are different people. Good and bad. There are states that are very conservative and there is California. There are some basic values that everyone agrees upon. I think nobody can claim that everyone is bad or good in the US. Same goes for any other democratic society. Same goes for Ukraine. There are a lot of people that I don't like in Ukraine.

In Russia there are some good people but they are in extreme minority. Extreme. Even the liberals in Russia are supporting the annexation of Crimea. Maybe the dictatorship is the reason, maybe the propaganda. I don't know and I don't care. This is how it is and I do what I can to exclude them from my life.
Why wouldn't you just use keepassdx for android

Those are all good things. There are additional benefits to getting more or different exercise. But the point remains that walking is real exercise, it's more than most people get, and dismissing it as "not real" is privileged gym-rat bullshit. Even your own citation emphasizes aerobic activity - leading with moderate aerobic activity such as walking - over strengthening exercises. You yourself have said in another comment:

> There are enormous health benefits to be had by small incremental increases

Yes incremental. The more people pile on about doing even more before it "counts" as "real exercise" the fewer people will do even the first part. Not everyone is in their twenties, or built exercise into their lifestyle when they were. I myself started a bit late, and it's only because I'm more stubborn than most that I've kept progressing. People need encouragement, goals they can meet and victories they can savor, not "everyone should exercise the way I do" from people in more favorable circumstances. Ten people sticking with a modest exercise program is better than one person sticking with a more aggressive one, as far as public health is concerned.
What kind of data do you want? For example more then half of all cars sold in Norway right now is electric. A fact that wouldn't be the case if Tesla wouldn't exist. Every yeah the market share of electric vehicles is increasing with projections that almost no gasoline vehicle will be driven in 2050 in west EU.

You just have to look at the pandemic to see what difference no combustion engine cars would make for the world. Cities that were covered in smog suddenly had clean air because of the stay at home directive.
The second law of thermodynamics
>> maven just picks an arbitrary one as _the_ version

No that’s never been the case. If you have conflicting versions of a dependency in your dependency graph, maven chooses the “nearest neighbour” version - it selects the version specified least far away from your project in the transitive dependencies graph.

Pinning a particular choice is easy too - you just declare the dependency and specify the version you want instead of relying on transitive deps.
Where did the person you are replying to indicate that "hard work" and "ambition" are the issues he is faulting? It seems like you're being rather disingenuous.

Musk's bad behavior includes things like forcing Tesla employees back into office, against local health restriction, mocking trans-folk because an ex started dating a trans-woman, pumping and dumping cryptocurrency, posting multiple tweets that violate laws (stock and union related), repeatedly lying about his products, etc.
Oh I like HEVC in theory, but its patent encumbrance/licensing has delayed it’s rollout immeasurably.

These realities far outweigh the technical benefits IMO.
You don’t need docker. Switch to Podman and use a third party repo like ECR.
The devs of Emby were always fairly hostile to the spirit of open source and when they closed the source in v6, the community's opinion shifted in favor of Jellyfin. As far as I can tell, Emby is pretty irrelevant now.
A Twitter with unlimited speech will become a racist and propaganda hellscape.

Imagine Trump will be brought back on Twitter, he’ll radicalize 40% of Americans into QAnon disciples and try to topple the United States government again. He’ll have thousands like him joining in in spreading mass amounts of fake news exactly like the Russian propaganda machine.

You’ll see extreme science denial, a boatload of new Covid myths, drinking bleach, Ivermectin, Covid is just the flu propaganda all over again, just 5 times worse.

Maybe it is not fair, but that is what happens and eventually it is acknowledged by executives, which leads for new design decisions based on that on TikTok and other platforms to get more money and users.

I don't think they fulfill some gap of the need of feeling of connected in a real way. More like a bandage. We have seen the development of Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram. Their audience is fading on countries who have used them longer time, what went wrong? How is TikTok so good that they try to adapt it on their platforms as well? No way to connect?

Short video clips which might or might not lead for a real conversation. They might offer escape from reality in your lunch break at work.

I understand the perspective of "feeling connected". It brings people together with similar mindsets on entertaining way. Or at least people who seems to enjoy similar things.

On the contrary, is it different than some oldschool cults or religions? Cults which are using psychology writings as base for feeling mutual understanding of themselves. Or religions which share same ideologies and use it as a solution for their problems?

Technology is advancing, is TikTok a modern solution for finding your role and place in the world when it does not make sense and you feel you are alone with your thoughts? Maybe it is, maybe it then fills some gap.

I agree that TikTok is providing entertainment (well, that is what dopamine usually is). It is easier to hook people on short videos which are done by global audience versus Netflix where there is a limited amount of material and they cost a lot to make, when audience on TikTok is mostly making them free and you just pick suitable ones with your algorithms for showing the other audience.

However, there are many problems in this. How it can be abused and how it creates people living on their own bubble, like people on some extreme Facebook groups. When a narrative includes only content that boosts your own thoughts, a reality can be lost. We need some research on this matter, but for some reason social media companies are doing their best to prevent that.

Someone people also really get addicted on the entertainment and cannot stop using it. Well, same thing can apply also for alcohol, but is addiction risk closer to opiates for example?

I don't really believe that executives are thinking for the best of the people, so optimizing platforms to hook users is a quite dangerous play.
I don't think he has any well-articulated principles about us, just mocking. Like changing his Twitter name to "Elona" and posting shitty memes in response to his ex dating Chelsea Manning, along with posting that gender pronouns are "dumb." 4chan Twitter troll cringe, basically.

I don't believe much in canceling and like what SpaceX is doing, I just don't like Musk making fun of people like me and so I'd sooner work for his competitors than for him.
Imposter syndrome assumes that some other person knows exactly what they are doing at all times, and you do not, therefore you're not a fit for that environment.

Nobody is like that.

Even the most competent of people make mistakes, have doubts, change their mind, get anxious before presentations etc...

If you are providing sufficient value in your context then great! Keep it up. If you're not sure then ask for concrete feedback on specific tasks occasionally.

However, in my experience in tech education and management is that "Imposter Syndrome" is rooted deeply in the idea that other people have some mythical level of competency and lack of doubt which puts your capabilities into question.

They do not, and you do not.
Yea now I remember it's Plato... Alex (beacon)'s objection to
universalised deontology came, I think, from a dialogue - I can't
remember or seem to find online it now, but it's probably in Republic
2? where Socrates, Cephalus, Polemarchus and Thrasymachus are getting
pissed and talking about weapons and the scenario comes up "Would you
give a knife back to someone who is really angry and saying they'll
kill someone - or would you lie and say you lost it" or similar. And
one of them says "It wouldn't be dishonourable (a real lie) to pretend
in that circumstance" - as you say "feigning ignorance doesn't seem
like a lie to me". So even though a Kantian lens 2000 years later,
lies have a little leeway for being "economical with the truth" under
difficult conditions. Kant doesn't chisel it in stone, he says make it
unversalisable, in which case the firmware update just makes the new
universalisable "Never tell lies unless a murderer urgently wants his
knife back".

I was confused by your wording, but I think this section of the link is very relevant:

>But for our beta phase, we do send telemetry by default and we do associate it with the logged in user because it makes it much easier to reach out and get feedback when something goes wrong.

7% is HUGE. Like country level huge. Besides Teslas impact is not only the EV they have sold. They made EVs popular and desirable. Electric vehicles are definitely mainstream. In my country(Netherlands) 20% of all vehicles sold are electric. In Norway it's more then 50%. You really can't get more mainstream then that.

Yeah I think a lot of people have been settling for that pattern, but it's admittedly not ideal, in the same way that it's generally preferable to work with discrete values in a functional/pure fashion than shuffling values in and out of an out param list everywhere.
Likelihood of attack and who the likely attackers are.

My elderly mother is likely to be attacked but those attackers are unskilled low rent scammers and chase lots of leads.

A well known author is likely to be attacked by singular focused attackers who will do research and stalk their victims.

An activist is more likely to face Government level attackers than my elderly mother.
Bounded Context
After battling with Linux on the desktop periodically for a couple of decades I came to the same conclusion. All the boring problems like consistency and stability are never solved. Only new problems written. I gave up and went to Mac. It’s not perfect but it’s less imperfect.

However I will say that Lightroom is horrible and I hate it. Only because of the memory gobbling and the persistent cost until I’m dead.

As I’m not a professional I settled on Apple Photos and Pixelmator Pro for when I bend Photos too far. This is good enough and doesn’t come with the persistent cost issues associated with subscriptions and paying for lots of RAM. Also works entirely offline or online if you need it to.
Database Lab Engine 3.1 for PostgreSQL
I’m not sure if this is a feature or bug but `asdf` requires you to recompile every tool installed via `go install` (nee `go get`) when you change go versions.

IIRC the main reason our team started tracking go versions was we were already using `asdf` for tracking other tools and it’s a nice way to ensure that everyone/everything was using the same to version (e.g. for unit tests which usually aren’t run in a container) but it is another spot to keep in sync with the Dockerfile.
Ask HN: Has the quality of TheVerge.com gone down significantly?
I know that they never were excellent, but I remember them being quite good on day to day mainstream tech events. But now, whenever I open it, it feels like reading BuzzFeed or some other dumpster fire.

To give an example which was published just today: https://www.theverge.com/2022/4/5/23011810/elon-musk-twitter-sec-board-member-moderation

It starts with: "Ahahahahahaha fine. Longtime shitposter Elon Musk, who has a side gig as the CEO of Tesla, is on the board of Twitter, a newly minted meme stonk, after filing the wrong form with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Tremendous content."

So, question: does anybody else feel that way or was it always shit and I just didn't notice or am I just growing old?

Lastly, any recommendations on good mainstream day to day tech sites/blogs (as I won't be reading this trash anymore)?
eh... except google is now basically just the pre-google product: Search for XYZ, wait, skip promoted link, skip second promoted link, third promoted link is actually the direct competitor to what I fucking searched, click result that was on top ten years ago, but is now almost below the fold.

Or worse - Search for exact term: get a page full of "Missing X - must include X" links hidden in tiny text below a result, click "Must include X" get the SAME FUCKING RESULTS again, click tools, click the dropdown, select verbatim, finally see decent results
> The history is of radical overpromising, and continual announcement of "breakthroughs" that do not bring plausible competitive viability any nearer.

It sounds like your issue is with the PR, not the technology. Is there something faulty or misleading with the progress made in the triple-product score?

> The current funding level, given the abysmal prospects for any return, is too high. It was even higher before. We'll never get any of that back.

30 years of fusion research is what a single Nimitz aircraft carrier costs. The "even higher" level was one Nimitz carrier per decade. And it only lasted one decade. Eyeballing the funding graph, the US has spent a total of 3 aircraft carrier's worth of funding for fusion in total, since research began.
My museum is quite small in comparison:

* HP 9000 712/60

* SUN Ultra 1 Creator (With SunPC DX2)

* Mac Quadra 610

These are still working, albeit waiting for recapping. The Gecko is running NextSTEP for the original id Software DooM map editor and the Ultra and Quadra are on the original OS they came with. Would love to get more SUN and SGI hardware but the prices are getting quite out of hand...
It's interesting to me that Stripe funded Fast because Stripe has built their own one click checkout solution.

That might be interesting for supporting multiple blocks running at once without confusion, as an update to the classic shell job control. Highlighting stdout vs stderr differently, too.

Another dimension to consider is the possibility of nested blocks: subshells, ssh, programs with their own REPL, etc.
Various governments have ways to petition online. Change.org or whatever is reasonably open to things covered by the first amendment, though of course it is privately controlled without real guarantees.
He is asking Twitter to not hand out bans based on content and/or delete content.

Not that I entirely agree with him on this topic. IMHO Twitter has the right to delete whatever they want and ban whoever they want.

But he's not trying to force the change through law/government. He bought a stake and got on the board and wants to change the rules of the platform itself from there - that's a way I respect.
Counterpoint: Twitter is the only social network I use where I get an unfiltered balance of ideas big and small - CEOs and random Joes. It's where memes are born and proliferate everywhere else (other than TikTok).

Twitter WORKS. If it's profitable, it doesn't need more growth. Facebook got ruined because it thought everyone's parents and grandparents should be on it, and now that's the only people on it.

My parents and grandparents are scared of Twitter, and that's how I like it.

It also doesn't try to charge me for access to my own followers like Facebook does.

Twitter may have problems but I like the balance they've struck.

An edit button by the way would RUIN it because people who have gone viral with a bad take would simply edit it away.
I agree that it is a little sensational, as it happens mostly when you like only limited groups of things. It gets harder for algorithms to polarize if you "mess up" with the algorithm and like many different kind of things.

To clarify, I don't mean with "extreme" necessarily a bad things, just content which gives you "extreme" emotions.
