It absolutely matters.

If Jeff Bezos says he has invented a new operating system and upon a little digging it is discovered that he just tweaked and renamed Linux, then he should and will be called out, and it will hurt his reputation.

The problem is not with using knowledge to your benefit, that is why it is there. The problem is with plagiarism, misrepresentation and intellectual dishonesty.

No, there's no problem there. Speech freedom being absolute doesn't have anything to do with lying, scamming, giving orders to do illegal things etc.

Think of this having absolute freedom over how you spend your money. There's no direct mechanism preventing you from buying illegal stuff but you can still get in trouble if you buy illegal stuff. This is not a contradiction.
You don’t need anything more than this.
I keep wanting JACK / netJACK[1] to be this. I've only actually gotten it to work once, though, and it required several hours of fiddling with configuration files and restarting daemons. Usually I run into a problem like...not being able to get certain applications on Windows to route audio through JACK at all.

So, maybe the answer to your question is that there are too many standards for sending audio over the network, which means none of them get enough polish to really become the standard, with support on multiple platforms, requisite drivers actually working, etc.

And this is why I string old-fashioned audio cables around my house.

> Once collected, this information is analyzed, compiled, and sold to any interested parties willing to pay for it.

The part about selling isn't true. Google and Facebook slurp in a lot of data, but they hoard it. It's only "sold" by allowing advertisers to target against it.

Google claims

> we do not sell your personal information to anyone.

Facebook claims

> No, we don't sell your information.

Maybe there's an asterisk when it comes to heavily aggregated data, and they both work with legitimate researchers, but big tech selling your data isn't true. A bunch of medium-sized adtech players you've never heard of sell your data.
Thanks for the additional info.

Whether it's a single file or a single directory doesn't matter much. The git repo is essentially a folder you can download and start locally using the file: protocol. No need for a server or anything.

I could make it into a single file, but I prefer organising modules as separate files and I didn't want to add a build step, so I left it as-is.
Oh that is quite interesting. I did not even know that there were AMD Chromebooks. I don't know who at google is forcing hardware vendors to publish sources, but they are really awesome. Several arm vendors seem to only publish sources for their Chromebook SoCs (e.g. Rockchip, mediatek).

How would you do that? Dynamodb is super cheap and fast to get going with so I use it frequently.

The Ukrainians were reportedly flying a Bayraktar TB2 drone nearby at the time (used as a spotter/distraction for their 2 Neptun anti-ship cruise missiles), and might have video footage. Whether they would want to release it is another story.

There could plausibly be intercepted audio of radio conversations among the Russian military.

Aside: The current Ukrainian gov’t response is pretty snarky: “Oleksiy Arestovych, aide to Zelensky administration chief of staff Yermak, likens fire at Russia’s flagship cruiser Moskva to blast at Belgorod fuel depot, says both happen to appear as some bad luck.” https://twitter.com/myroslavapetsa/status/151440038235680358...

And many people chose not to use it as a result, despite having no desire to do "evil". People can certainly license software however they like, and other people can complain about that and build replacements, as JSHint did.

> It's a linter, it doesn't require being incorporated into people's projects.

Many things do want to depend on tools that process source code, such as bundlers, IDEs, transpilers, and similar.
> I'm not sure how it could be confirmed that Ukrainian actions cause the ship to sink.

One way to dispel doubt is to sink more ships with more missiles.
I've seen some software, can't remember which, that forces you to type the name of the project you're deleting to confirm. That's made me think twice.
> however, i find the reviews still useful, if you only look at all negative ones.

this used to be enough for me too. You do have to have to sift through a lot of useless complaining, but it was worth it to find something that you know would drive you crazy or wasn't compatible with what you had in mind. Unfortunately, Amazon managed to screw that up to by slapping the same reviews on very different products.

If I'm looking at what seems to be a nice pair of headphones to wear while cleaning around the house but don't buy them because multiple people say they slip off your head easily when looking down I could easily find a friend who has those same pair without that problem because they fixed that issue with the current model.

You have the same problem with positive reviews. A good feature (reliability, quality materials, etc) may not be true when it arrives. At first I thought it was just because I was getting very accurate knock off products (which can happen) but it turns out amazon is just a terrible online store. It leads to a lot of conflicting product reviews like "this is the only product I've found that lasted for more than 6 months and I love the metal accents!" right next to "This is 100% plastic and broke after 3 months of light use. Waste of money"

I'm keeping a spreadsheet for a new Linux Laptop (Alder Lake or preferably a Rembrandt) w/ HiDPI(ish) and 32GB+ of RAM and there are some options.

Currently announced:

* Lenovo X1 Carbon G10 - 14" 16:10 3840x2400 500-nit 100% DCI-P3 60Hz IPS

* Lenovo ThinkBook 13X Gen2 - 14" 16:10 2560x1600 400-nit 60Hz IPS

* Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 - 13.3" 16:10 2880x1800 400-nit 100% DCI-P3 60Hz IPS

* ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED UX5401 - 14" 16:10 2880x1800 550-nit 100% DCI-P3 90Hz OLED

* Asus Vivobook S 14X OLED - 14.5" 16:10 2880x1800 550-nit 100% DCI-P3 120Hz OLED

I'm also keeping an eye out for the next gen refresh of the Tuxedo Infinity Book Pro 14 - they use a 16:10 2880x1800 400-nit display as well (these are a TongFang ID4H1, and XPG and some other OEMs also use a similar chassis).
This looks great. Better than the top google search results I use for this.

Would be awesome if there was a string diff mode
Russia's rotten downfall is impressive to watch. I'm Ukrainian/Armenian who grew up in Russia in the 80s, I had always assumed that the military would at least stay relevant when the economy isn't. It's just been the pride of the country for centuries and to some extent even ingrained in Russian DNA that I could not see that changing going forward. I had grandparents and uncles in the Soviet military and I saw the pride in them. Now we see the bottom completely fall out as it's become eroded by decades of preposterous corruption. You have to be one special piece of shit to destroy such legacy and to find a reason, whatever it might be, to attack what I consider their own blood relatives in Ukraine.

Well, some functions that the brain performs in higher animals are present even in single-celled bacteria (sensing, decision making), so it's not that hard to imagine a path from a generalized capacity for computation to a cell that is more and more specialized in this, and also to an entire tissue achieving the same. In the end, it's not harder to imagine than muscles or intestine lining or blood evolving.

Amazon, what are you doing?

The simple answer is that "Customer Obsession" is dead.

Amazon is now so dominant that improving search to help customers find what they actually want would reduce profits. The top search results are paid ads. Why distract from those with good top organic results? That just reduces the value of those ads. And those ads are big business.

Projects at Amazon are approved during the yearly OP1/OP2 planning cycle and are prioritized based on how much money the project will make. A project to fix the 'problems' has negative overall value, so it won't ever make the list.

My general thought is that pump and dump schemes are small change to the richest person in the world. Making an extra few hundred million is appealing to anyone, but he'll make 100x that from TLSA by doing nothing at all.

I do see this as a way for him to save face. kind of "I bought $4B of stock on a whim and that was a bad idea, but if I pump it and come out ahead I'll feel better"

Then don't "do" the delete, when the users "do" the delete.

Pretend to do it, actually do it 24 hours later, and if they "undo" the delete within that time frame, just remove it from the delete queue process.
> Perhaps it's because consumers would rather buy the cheap crap?

Nope. Even if it were true that people actually want garbage products (and I doubt that to be the case for most of us) we still want to be able to find the garbage products!

It used to be that as long as you knew exactly what you wanted amazon search was OK. Searching for something like "Shower curtains" would always just return a very small number of products listed over and over again but never all of the shower curtains they have for sale. Now, even searches for very specific things return bizarre nonsensical results.

My guess is that it's a combination of Amazon just not caring about the user experience, Amazon wanting to promote only certain items, and Amazon wanting to prevent scrapers from being able to easily get large lists of products on the website and what their prices are.

That reads like a nuclear-fan-boy article. No, we can't just waive security requirements to modernize the old plants and keep them save. No, I don't see where you could eliminate all the Russian gas just with those reactors already standing.

The war in Ukraine remains us of one thing: You don't want unpredictable things to happen around a nuclear plant. Nuclear power can be relatively cheap. If you subsidize it heavily. If you scale it up (and thus the risks) to drive down costs. If and only absolutely nothing goes wrong. No unforeseen natural catastrophes. No other "impossible accidents" of the kind that keep happening. Absolutely no possibility for ill intentions...

Stopping the import of Russian gas now instead of allowing more time does absolutely nothing for Ukraine except for a little bit of moral support, while tanking the German economy. Russia is already in a downward spiral.

Here's one in Austin - it's pretty cool to see how other infrastructure has used it's Right of Way, including the Southern Walnut Creek Trail, electrical transmission lines, and other roads - https://www.abandonedrails.com/georgetown-to-pershing

Note: this is next to another rail line that is still in use. I think the commentors on the site discuss that, but I don't quite understand what they are saying.

Edit: looking at this further - the Right of Way is nearly intact for most of it's original length. It would be so cool to have a bike trail for this entire thing.
Elon is just a troll who happens to be richest man on earth. He is just trolling SEC. Bid price 54.20 is a joke and people do not yet realize and take him seriously, anyone notice 420 ? Everyone remember he wanted to take Tesla private for 420 and funding secured.. he is just doing classic pump and dump.. he did with Tesla and took out all short sellers.. Now he's doing the same for Twitter, he will make money and sell twitter stocks. SEC is a joke.. they should come hard down on him.
Excellent, because while using Raspberry Pi is really cool just because his small it is. It very easily crashes especially if you're too fast. And because I've got an older model I had to restrict the resolution to 720p.

For those wondering why run Kodi on a TV. Simple the TV is to old to be in any way smart, but still works perfectly, so there no reason to replace it. Also it feels really good bragging to my brother what I can do in my dumb TV, that not even he can do on his smart TV. :P

No not in the last decade. It's probably such a remote use case nowadays that it hasnt got any recent attention, if someone needs to forward me something like a picture or PDF then they typically use email, whatsapp, lineapp, signal, dropbox, gdrive etc... I think it must of been 10 years since I had my phone with bluetooth discover-me on and anyone actually tried to beam me something. Bluetooth, to me nowadays, is just something to connect to my airpods but that's largely invisible so I wouldn't noticed if they changed to something other than bluetooth

As an aside - the search experience in the Amazon music app is laughably bad. The suggestion engine seems to be basically the same as retail, weighing by popularity of the search terms. But the search terms are not limited to music app, so frequently the suggestion will append words like " vinyl " or " t-shirt ". Perhaps even more frustrating, top results will often be a partial match a highly popular artist / album / song even if you give an exact string match for something else that has a decent level of uniqueness or has recently been listened to.
I thought QHD would be nice enough at that size but I really like my 3840x2400 14"-ish Dell Precision. The extra resolution means the fonts look printed instead of no-too-pixelly.

I have hundreds of books, partially due to how good Amazon's book recommendations used to be. They are now mostly paid ads as well, and are of much lower quality.

It definitely feels like a very un-Amazon thing to do, unless the lens you look at it through is "Customers really care most about price and charging sellers for ads lets us lower prices", but that feels like a stretch?
Remember Russia's Kursk submarine accident? Where the biggest and most dangerous nuclear submarine in the world sank because of faulty welds on a training torpedo that leaked gas and caused the explosion of the torpedo compartment, causing the submarine to sink and the death of everyone on board because Russia refused to admit the accident and refused help from western partners? Yeah.

This article made a huge impact on me: https://capwatkins.com/blog/the-sliding-scale-of-giving-a-fu...

When I sense a situation like that incoming, I’ll rate how much I care on a scale of 1–10 and encourage the other party to do the same. The person with the higher number gets their way.

There are basically three possible outcomes:

1. The decision succeeds. Hooray!

2. The decision fails. Learn what you can from the outcome and try another approach. Don’t blame the person who called the decision.

3. The decision doesn’t matter. Maybe the two solutions were both fine, or maybe one was technically worse but inconsequential in practice. You’ve avoided a heated argument over nothing.
I'm torn. A modern amount or pixels comes with a modern amount of glare. That's bad for your eyes in a different way.
I think you’re over-exaggerating about the “insane advancements in recent years that would blow his mind.” There was a recent overview of different MEV preventive measures [0] which came to the conclusion that there is currently no silver bullet. This is still a large and unsolved issue with competing mitigations with large drawbacks, far from any “insane advancements.” You make a good point that these algorithmic trading techniques are not as big of a deal for everyday users though, and mostly bot wars.

I think we should always have at least one joke thread, if nothing to lighten to mood!
Thank you, good points. Though IIRC the drone was reported to have been shot down but it could have transmitted footage before that happened. If Ukraine has audio recordings that would be very interesting, but as you say they might be reluctant to share it.

>You have to be one special piece of shit to destroy such legacy

This isn't the cause by the actions of a single piece of shit (Putin) but the consequences of unchecked sistemic corruption that spans for decades across the entire government apparatus.

I laughed out loud when I saw pictures of the ERA plates on Russian tanks were actually filled with cardboard because what should have been the Russian army modernization, is now parked in the biggest most luxurious yachts in the world and in the most desirable real estate in Europe and North America.

So, as a European who's country had been under forced Russian occupation, and the puppet communist regime there caused scars that will still last for decades, I'm chuck full of joy to see Russia's army being crippled from inside by it's own corrupt system and the greed of it's own leaders. 10/10

I already have my apartment at 20C and can probably tolerate a bit lower if it means starving the Russian army and saving Ukrainian lives.

Still, I expected the Russian government propaganda to spin this news into something like "Heroic Moskva cruiser managed to successfully destroy two enemy Neptune missiles with its hull, causing it to be promoted to the rank of submarine ".

Fans of nuclear power really love those "negligible" risks, don't they? The general public not so much. Certainly not after "impossible accidents" keep happening. And then the nuclear fans say "Now it's all better, pinky promise with cherry on top!" Well...

No, the author doesn't seem to be an expert. Also for his claims you don't need a nuclear engineering background, you need economics.

If the political party doesn't matter, the author shouldn't have made false accusations against the Green party and used those as "support" for his argument.

I mean… you can choose to live in a less expensive area. Especially if one person is a software engineer where remote work is available. Will choosing to live in a different area mean you’ll go from making $500k TC to $150k or $100k? Perhaps .

We grew up in a duplex and my brother and I shared a bedroom for years because my parents wanted my mom to focus on taking care of us. I genuinely didn’t realize that our house was technically “worse” than my peers, until I was chatting to my dad about it last year and he mentioned the choice they made.

If you don’t want to make that choice, that’s OK too. I choose to listen to death metal music, I don’t expect others to make the sane choices as me. :)
Honestly, I would gladly take 10 major Chernobyl-style accidents each year than what's coming with climate change. It's way, way worse.
