Downloading is more alive than it was 5 or even 10 years ago. And it all started, as usual, because of mega-corp greed.

Netflix solved most of the problem, it was paradise (aside from licensing issues that may mean that you can't watch some stuff in your country)! But... Thus came greed.

And all of the sudden, you need 10 subscriptions to access it all. And not everyone has that money. Actually, most people don't. So you... Choose? You either watch Disney stuff or the other stuff... But Game Of Thrones? Oh now you're on HBO... But no, you need HBO MAX as well... Oh...

So that's the story of how I rediscovered Jellyfin, sonarr, radar, etc... I can have it all and it's free.

It's sad that piracy is the best and most reliable way to consume media, but here we are.
So do the people in the liquidity pools, so do the miners, and probably a few more groups of people.

The majority of gally rovers during that period, of western countroes, were convicts or paid rovers. No idea how the Ottomans did it.

That conflict, European powers against the Ottomans over the Mediterranean trade routes, included a massive gally building program by Venice. Which depleted Venice's coffers so much that were later on sidelined as an economic power.
I hope these cat and mouse games end someday. We don't want anyone enforcing "policies" on us. Maybe one day we'll have technology that will finally render them powerless.
That's just one of the big issues.

Another is that Twitter is 6000 transactions per second, whereas Ethereum only manages about 15tps - 1/400th as much - and BTC 7tps.
I think you tried to write "POW blockchain," because POS is what the people spending the smaller insane amount hold up as a solution

But even a POS blockchain is a giant waste of electricity on what amounts to a casino backed by illegal securities
Oh thanks! Yeah all I know about this situation is what was in that youtube video, but this is good to know.
They don’t feel artistic they feel like political pandering.
It sounds like the SKU is really old then, if it doesn't even support 4G.
As a former drug addict with a DWI felony I often wonder what my life would be like if I hadn’t gotten into tech at a young age and somehow managed to graduate from university. At 200k a year in a medium COL city I can just barely afford a house, car, and girlfriend while adding some money to savings every week. I don’t understand how people can live on 45k a year let alone 30k a year
Where it fails is that media lies are not considered primary sources for this stuff, but instead secondary... When their follow the political spin editors want to present...
It's about the lesson more than anything else. I really want my kids to learn how to save and be well practiced at it, even though the utility function doesn't make a ton of sense.
Thank you for posting and for having a site that is easy to save for later.
FYI I down-voted you because making a bare assertion and then saying “prove me wrong” is hostile and intellectually lazy.
vweb, volt, and ved are not a "little more than alpha"

yes, the os is being developed in V, and it can already run bash, GCC, G++, and Doom.

the person working on it, is an osdev, and not a compiler developer
it adds friction and doesn’t provide value. I prefer me and my users not to share private info unless it’s absolutely necessary. Take a look at products like excalidraw, hackmd and others like doodle and rally.co (no affiliation to any of those).

Having the option to use an account is fine, but forcing it is a mistake in my opinion.

Of course it’s your product and you can choose whatever makes sense to you.

p.s. creating an account wasn’t painless actually with strange password strength requirements (between 8-15 chars, special symbols etc), but that’s not the main point.

And as the article above points out, Florida ground is porous, so even before sea levels rise enough to flood the street level, it is flooding from below which impacts both underground infrastructure and fresh water supplies.
It doesn’t revolve around it, but the dream state is considered one of the bardos in Tibetan Buddhism and there are practices around it. It basically consists of practices to become lucid during dreaming in order to practice yoga/meditation within the dream state. [1]

I had no idea it was a thing until once in a dream I was sitting for meditation for whatever reason and became lucid. I decided to keep sitting and practicing in that lucid state. When I woke up later I started doing some research and found out about that Tibetan practice. Maybe someday I’ll meet someone to teach it to me.

Cut the shit. The guy isn't doing his part. He needs to be cut loose. "Friend" or not.
I think absentee ownership and zoning laws have a fundamental impact on the availability of housing. It seems outside of governmental concern because their impact is already so normal. It’s normal for rich people to own/rent land they don’t occupy or use in perpetuity. It’s normal to see almost everything zoned for car dependent, single-family housing.
Just run a Cron job to ping speedtest.net every 1 minute.

My ISP does the prioritization whenever you do a DNS lookup for speedtest.net. You don't actually need to run the test.
> "Schmidt has made the development of 5G technology and artificial intelligence key aspects of his post-Google work and has advocated for a stronger federal role in funding both, along with biotech initiatives."

Solution: Set up a private research institution unaffiliated with government similar to the historically successful Bell Labs. Here's how it worked before:

Georgescu, I. Bringing back the golden days of Bell Labs. Nat Rev Phys 4, 76–78 (2022).

https://www.nature.com/articles/s42254-022-00426-6

> "AT&T had a clear vision, that of offering universal connectivity to its customers. To achieve this well-defined long-term goal, the company consistently invested in R&D, planning ahead in terms of decades rather than years. Thanks to its government-supported monopoly, it could also afford to maintain the long-term thinking for half a century. Bell Labs was funded by what physicist and historian of science and technology Michael Riordan called “essentially a built-in ‘R&D tax’ on telephone service"

Google/Alphabet is essentially a monopoly these days with cash to burn, so they can certainly do the same thing. Cut the dividend to the shareholders and invest billions in independent R&D, just like AT&T did. Don't try to buy your way into federal agencies so you can direct their funds to private ventures.

Even better, change federal tax law such that the only way billionaires can escape a 90% income tax bill or corporations a 50% tax bill (highest tiers c. 1960) is to get a write-off by putting their money into such R & D efforts.
I don't know how to find the talk on the original page and its deletion. All I know is that the editor who deleted it refused to consider all evidence that it wasn't just a personal project, or that it was worthy of a wikipedia page.
Wires are great, and I try to use them when possible, but you can saturate most home Internet with decent midrange WiFi hardware. I get over 1Gbps between local machines just using the stock Comcast/Xfinity WAP, and about 330Mbps to the Internet (capped by service plan). I splurged a little on a ~$120 4-antenna NIC but even my cheap older ones can saturate the WAN link.
With downloaded audio you can analyze it, slow it down (with better algorithms than youtube has), loop it, run an FFT for pitch detection, remix, etc.

With downloaded video you can play back with better control, look at individual frames, edit, remix, etc.
Ping tests the possibility of connectivity and can provide a hint at latency. That is not a speed test.
In general this account (Vadim Yuryev/MaxTech) churns out a lot of specious and empty contents on YouTube at a ridiculous pace. One of the worst highly-subscribed "tech review" channels out there. Not that surprised to see this thread being subject to heavy discussion and inaccuracies being pointed out.
If it has been a while for you, then perhaps you were much younger and comfortable sharing a living space with relative strangers. Many people working these crappy jobs are not kids in their teens and twenties. They are middle-aged and these are their careers. Also, the workers we are talking about don't "want to save money", they are perpetually spending every cent they earn to cover costs and debt. It isn't some pit stop on the way to the upper-middle class (though upper-middle class people seem to like to pretend it is).
Ultimately it’s down to peering. Even without malicious action from your provider, it could just be that their routes to your selected speed test server are free while the routes to your other destination are congested.
Yes...I'm confused about OPs story because, as far as I know, you can't just plead the 5th at various parts of a trial where it is not relevant. The judge would generally not move on until you plead something. Or they would hold you in contempt if you refuse to plead guilty/not guilty/alford/nolo contendere etc
Aren't we at that point when browser extension works on all major browsers without any extra fiddling? Would be nice to see option to test extension in other browsers too, if they allow it.
Amazing that nowadays if you want the best "uncensored" results you have to go to the Russian Yandex (at least on all topics unrelated to Russia). How did our society get to such a point...
You said you had photographic evidence...were you not allowed to introduce it? Why does it matter if you can't remember if you have video proof?
This is exactly why I posted in the first place.
That’s an interesting perspective I hadn’t considered. How would you envision nudging “the rest” to pick up skills over their summer, assuming they weren’t working?
How high are you expecting them to go?

A 10-20 foot sea wall will do just fine. It’s just expensive.
The Netherlands offers a concrete example.
I have mild ADD and can't read books very well. I read a book like I read Twitter, extracting little soundbites and quotes out of it to mull over later. With movies, I get the basic gist of a story and I'm happy with that. A movie is a watered down book that I don't have to wade through. Some key movies that I always loved: Limitless, The Matrix, Fight Club, all of the LOTR movies.

Those movies moved me in ways a book simply couldn't. And I've tried reading Tolkien, and just couldn't pay attention. A little hack I do (since I will never read all the books in the world), is read the last line of a book I randomly picked up in the library or a book shop, and commit that line to memory. I've memorized ~100 'last sentences' of books now!
> You would never default to thinking that a surgeon, plumber, athlete, etc, with 12 years of experience may demonstrate these problems, so why would you with software engineering?

Thanks for telling me what I would think, but honestly it would be no different for any of those professions. If you're still doing exactly the same job 9 years later, the real problem is elsewhere.

And CoL-adjusted salaries kind of make sense and have always seemed fair to me when I've been offered one. If people are scamming the system, that would be something for the company to worry about, no?

I guess a better question would be: what would be fairer?
According to legendary quant Nassim Nicholas Taleb so called cryptocurrencies are so fundamentally volatile that they cannot be considered currencies: https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.14204
> What is usual about base 64?

In programming languages, it is usual to have integers encoded on 32bits or 64bits. In my knowledge integers encoded on 128bits is not common.
It's very likely they exist. But I don't think the existing attacks on MD5 will allow you to construct one. So you'd have to spend 2^64 on brute-force, which is expensive but feasible.
That's why we need DNS over HTTPS and Encrypted Client Hello to become widely used. Then there would be no way of knowing, as long as Netflix uses the same infrastructure to serve fast.com and netflix.com
> So what do you suggest we do about that except build more homes?

Why are you trying to make this complicated? Just get rid of density caps so that developers build more apartments. Problem solved with zero cost to taxpayers.
Get them. Summer heat won't be a problem, make sure they have water and shade. How do they attract rats? Droppings? They eat anything which means less food for rats. They can eat mice.
It's also an example of how it's already been lost.
Maybe you are not familiar with how enterprise , and especially utility and gov systems work? It is often hard to not use RHEL due to compliance policies. IBMers deciding to swap in their race horse -- and simultaneously hobbling the current one -- is effectively making the decision for the US Gov for the next 2 years.

Yeah sure OSS in theory and IBM is a free entity. But for the same freedom, I am free to call from for divesting from any use of IBM/RHEL products and consultants in enterprise and gov contracts as no longer a trusted and ethical partner due to their anti-competitive self-dealing at the clear expense of the community & customer. RHEL lost neutrality & HA credibility as an infra layer and IBM as a partner through this. Nothing personal, just business and trying to protect our users, same as the RHEL org's actions helping themselves.
Major cities are where the problem is most obvious. The cities need low skill workers to keep running, and those workers can't afford to live anywhere near those jobs.
Add salt and they peel fine (they say vinegar too but I didn't find it so effective)
Or newpipe (when it works)
I do it for convenience.

I have fast internet, but battery consumption of tabs and mobile is too high for my comfort with data/wifi turned on.

I download 4k/2k videos for anything super interesting and >= 30 minutes and watch them later.

Some episodes of some podcasts are super worth it to keep in your hard disk.

I also download and save Chopin and Bach playlist to device and then later play them for long hours.

Videos disappear a lot on YT. Interesting videos that I saved on "Watch Later" disappeared quite a few times.
Pilate is a critical figure to the marketing of Christianity to the Roman world, as in a couple of weird, awkwardly inserted passages completely absolves the Roman government of responsibility and solidly lays it all on the Jews.

The TL;DR goes like this:

Pilate: Guys, this Jesus dude is totally innocent.

Jews: Kill him anyway!

Pilate: OK, well how about this--between him and this notorious murderer, who should I pardon?

Jews: Release the murderer! Kill Jesus!

Pilate: Gee, ok fine, but this is all on you guys.

Jews: Yes! His blood is on us and our descendants!

Then least there be any doubt, he _literally_ asks for water to be brought and "washes his hands" of the decision.

It's absolutely the stupidest thing you'll ever read. It is such an obvious after the fact fabrication, it sounds like it was written by a child, and yet this story has been used over the centuries to justify a great deal of violence towards Jews at the hands of Christians.
This article focuses on jobs, rather on careers. It’s a sad failing of American education that people are completely detached from the concept of starting and running a business, as well as the career path of learning a trade.

People in the trades are doing pretty well, though. Carpentry, plumbing, electrical, general handyman, landscaping, automotive repair, welding, truck driving… these are all highly lucrative fields that don’t require a college degree (though many require some trade schooling and/or apprenticeship). There’s a desperate shortage of people in all of these areas, partly because high schools push kids to go to college rather than trade schools.

Regarding the notion of soul-killing jobs such as the author described, it’s always been this way. Imagine the dreary life of a factory worker around 1900 or so, compelled to labor 7 days a week, 12 hours a day. And if you lose an arm, or fall in a vat of chemicals… tough for you. Or a farm laborer, working in blazing heat many hours a day, or a textile worker, seated at a machine, sewing buttons 60 hours a week.

Life has always been hard. The difference today is that people want and demand a much higher degree of comfort and autonomy in their lives than ever before, and are far more vocal about it.
I disagree with the claim in the title that "streaming has replaced downloading" since disk space is incredibly cheap now relative to video size. It also depends on what kind of content we're talking about

Also I think that the streaming mentality treats content as something more disposable and constantly changing. Why would someone want to download something when it'll soon get old?

I think that disposable content is a waste of time. Downloading makes more sense when the content has higher value as a work and is more permanent

But of course, it makes more sense from a business standpoint to make people pay for access as opposed to ownership
You'd actually have to accumulate everything before being able to make an absolute statement such as "Young people look around and think things are harder now than they've ever been and it's simply not true" (rather, them having it worse than those before them). I don't know how people can make this statement in such absolute terms, while at best their arguments are "well Y is worse, but X is better!" Let's not forget "young people" still have to live to see their retirement years. At least for someone outside the US, I don't expect to see most of my taxes funding the elderly's retirement returned by future generations (nor do I want that, for that matter).

Nor is it very fruitful to have this measuring contest when it is evident several things have gotten worse for no other reason than greed.
People who are oppressed should receive reparations, and there are many examples of this actually happening and many ongoing movements in cases where it hasn't:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reparations_(transitional_just...

I'm not here to play Oppression Olympics and say that Black people deserve reparations more than anybody else. This push to compare and contrast often is used to deflect, delay, and ultimately disrupt the solidarity of marginalized people. So I only ask that people just understand the plight of Black folks in America in and of itself, and ask themselves what feels just.

This piece makes a compelling summary of the situation of Black folks in the US:

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/06/the-cas...

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if reparations never happen for Black Americans within my lifetime. But that doesn't mean it's not justified. At the very least, what most Black people demand is a fair shake at jobs, wealth, security, and dignity. It is violations of these basic human rights and justice that get us out in the streets.
The fact that it’s more complicated, or difficult, than the treatment I gave the subject in a passing comment doesn’t change the fact that it’s true generally speaking.
I’m all for offering free education and health care. But if everyone got an education, how would that reduce inequality?

Besides, not everyone has the desire of ability to go to school.
That's a pretty decent savings rate. When you say save, though, do you mean putting it in the bank or a diversified portfolio of factor tilted global index funds?
Other states do this and even the federal government, I think. They're shooting themselves in the foot. If the path to legal possession is tortuous and likely to incriminate you then you're protected from divulging it and your nonpayment of taxes is wholly legal on the grounds attempting to collect makes the state violate the 5th.

The widespread use of parallel construction -- and even merely its plausibility -- means that the IRS's current stance on reporting illegal income is likely suspect as well.
The extension API is mostly supported on all platforms, but certain features are not available everywhere, and implementation bugs are frequent. In the case of Safari regressions have also been present in almost every browser update.
Here is an argument for it:

https://activisthistory.com/2021/12/15/critical-race-theory-...

"Critical theory can be a vehicle through which we embrace the political nature of mathematics education while engaging students, especially those most vulnerable in the discipline, in mathematics. Critical theory has at its center the examination of power and privilege inherent in large systems such as the system of education."

I don't have an opinion, just found the article.
Practically the same. Perhaps it's a server selection issue?

The IRS has testified against the government on behalf of defendants, but you are still open to harm from illegal parallel construction.
Only if you use the internet primarily for streaming. If you use the internet primarily for something else, with "net neutrality", you will be paying for the video streaming traffic (which makes up 60% of downstream traffic) even though you don't use it for that. If Netflix is required to pay the ISPs, Netflix just increases their prices and it doesn't affect internet users who don't primarily stream video.
Which ISP? Name and shame
To sum it up: Schmidt is making investments, and is trying influence the federal government to follow his footsteps. That's one way to pump massive life into your portfolio.
I've always found it interesting that the Nicene Creed, which is recited by millions of Catholics around the globe every Sunday, mentions only three people: Jesus, Mary, and Pontius Pilate.
Predicting Startup Funding from Freely, Publicly Available Web Information
Exactly. No one is "wrong." But if your position is that you never want to travel period, that's something you should discuss in the first phone screen if it's a hard condition.

(And of course the converse is true as well. If the company is remote-first and doesn't believe in employees getting together physically that will be a showstopper for some.)
It takes time. More then four years. Sometimes ten years or more.

But one day the the pain will end. And you will be able to look back without overwhelming feelings. What is important is that you will not do too much damage to yourself in the meantime.
2.4GHz is unlicensed, but through a few different routes FCC regulations prohibit operating, distributing, marketing, etc an intentional radiator (and many types of unintentional/incidental radiators) without an equipment authorization or device certification. So the pedantic answer is that you can do whatever you want in 2.4GHz but you can't do it using whatever device you want, which creates limitations of generally 1W as sort of the simplest answer.
