There are three basic reasons people don't get a loan:

- They already have too much debt

- They don't earn enough to pay it off

- They have a history of not paying off their debts.

This should not be hard to explain to most people.
Which is why I mentioned those three in particular, pretty easy to get everyone to use one.
The alternative is that corporations can (or rather, can continue to) factor in selectively breaking laws as a line item in their operating costs, which is unappealing for certain people for a variety of reasons.
I think the best response to your claim that "most people" find Cage uninteresting is this book intro that e. e. cummings wrote. He had a few things to say about "mostpeople":

The online community obsessed with a CIA puzzle
the goal of academic programs is to teach you computer science concepts that stay relevant regardless of new languages or tooling. it's not the job of universities to teach you go or rust or docker or whatever the latest hipster language or solution is.

there are a lot of programs that claim to teach you web dev in a few weeks. and what about all the "coding schools"? also, web dev has nothing to do with building real software or computer science. it's 80% CRUD apps anyway.
Safari uses Web Extensions now.
You can import a Chrome/Firefox extension’s source code into xcode and you have a Safari extension.

This is a straw man through and through. I’ve seen enough, thanks for the time.
I think people know it. They just make a calculated decision to move to the suburb with the best schools (i.e. most expensive they can afford) for the benefit of the kids.

Same with leaving a small town and going to a more expensive city with higher and more income earning opportunities.
Eventually Russian factories will run out of machine spare parts

Most parts are able to be manufactured anywhere. Certainly, it is cheaper (generally) to buy the parts from the usual manufacturers. But supply and demand will cause those parts to start to be made, whether in Russia itself, or in China (more likely). If those parts start to get made more cheaply in China than the original 'western' parts, the western parts will eventually become uneconomic to make and be pushed out of the market.

Sanctions are generally a two-edged sword. There is pain caused to the sanctioned party in the short-term, but the sanctioning party more often finds itself damaged in the long-term by being shut out of its traditional markets when the sanctioned party starts buying things elsewhere.
Could also be the bounty for disclosing the hack at the same time.
Nguyen Van Bay is just a kind of nickname that means "he's the seventh son". Especially back in those days of large families it isn't massively surprising that there'd be another seventh son in the airforce.

Vietnamese Wikipedia says he actually went by the nickname Bay A (literally 7-A) in the air force, presumably because of the other guy also nicknamed Bay.

The Nguyen family name is obviously super common. Van is a fairly common middle name.

Especially in the south of Vietnam it was somewhat common, especially back then to just call people by their birth order. "Aunt Eight", "Uncle Two", "Sister Three", etc.

His actual name was Nguyen Van Hoa.
any good CS program at university level will have at least 50% of coursework dedicated to software engineering and hands on programming projects.
Bixby and the Samsung crap are the reasons I'll never buy a Samsung phone. The only redeeming thing is that they're not made in China.
As someone who loves OSM (and noticed that you've contributed to it), I'm trying to understand how Placemark fits in.

It seems like a system designed to make it easier for people to create and work with their own geospatial data silos

Does it provide a way to enable users to provide their data to OSM?

edit: this snippet from the comparisons page seems misleading:

> OpenStreetMap provides the map data that you see in Mapbox's base maps, as well as lots of other places on the internet. OpenStreetMap (OSM) allows map editing through the iD editor (which the creator of Placemark also worked on in its early stages), but the OpenStreetMap map is public, shared between everyone, and strictly refers to certain kinds of data like streets and businesses.

OSM includes tons of other types of data, such as natural features, public utilities (e.g. free wifi, water fountains), and much, much more.
I wonder about whether a big enough orbiting phased array, with all the elements carefully quantum-entangled, could achieve much better power delivery to a small receiver.

In this scenario, the phased array transmitters would be placed randomly in a swarm. The receiver would broadcast a pilot signal, and they would all adjust their phase by the received pilot-signal phase and, implicitly, their position in the swarm. (Maybe the pilot signal is at exactly half or twice the transmit frequency, and a maser, so all its photons are entangled.)

I don't know how you arrange to quantum-entangle the transmitting elements and their emitted photons to the pilot signal and (this) to one another. The goal is for all their quantum amplitudes to interfere constructively only at the rectenna, and so deliver all of their energy there. Is there any necessary or enforcible relationship between the photon wave phase and its quantum amplitude?

For a decoupled swarm to stay together, each would need to be in a slightly different almost-circular orbit, continually milling about a common center. Alternatively, they could have hair-thin fibers tying them to near neighbors, and all orbit as a unit.
Whoops! Nice catch. Don't ignore your tenants.
Depends on the domain you are interested in. For example, in the physics realm, books by Susskind, Penrose, Weinberg, certainly are not generalizations. Even Smolin, Greene, and Carroll are very experienced in their fields though more accessible than Penrose. Same with computers and programming, innumerable choices are available. Math? Anyone from Ian Stewart to Tao to Hardy. Generally, I’ve found the answer on the overleaf. If the book is written by a science journalist, a reporter, etc., it’s usually a bit light while books written by academics in particular fields, even if written for the general public, are typically “beefier”.
I wonder for how many people Mojave is the last Mac OS they can use simply because Adobe stopped selling software for anything later (you can only rent), and other various 32-bit reasons.

Adobe products are sadly required for industry work.

An when you do that, the toxic manager responds with "Is that all you can do?"
> I believe they should be able to come to this conclusion however they like, except based on the obvious factors like culture, gender (or lack/fluidity of), etc.

Really? How do you figure? I genuinely cannot tell how you are reconciling these two points of view. While should a private business be able to do business however it wants, but somehow be restricted when it comes to this list of 3-4 factors? Can you elaborate on that?

More specifically, how do you reconcile this opinion with the fact that many algorithmic models do perpetuate existing discriminations against these groups that you listed, despite these things supposedly not being parameters of the algorithms?

(Note: I am not condoning discrimination. In fact, I personally don't think that private business should be able to do whatever they want, and that they should be much more restricted than they are today in many, many different respects.)
At home you are free to make everything 10G-capable, have a NAS that can saturate such a link, etc.

On the wider internet, few resources are happy to dedicate such bandwidth to you, even if you can consume it. Not even every popular torrent can muster so much incoming bandwidth.

I can see how it may make sense if you run a popular public server from your home; maybe more convenient than colocation, but still is not a typical use case.
> Android phones don't break even if they stop getting updates.

So when Google issues a kernel patch for an actively exploited zero day you aren't vulnerable?

Don't be ridiculous.
> … the standard itself might involve using some algorithm that isn't open and you can't publish even your own code that implements that algorithm…

I was under the impression that an algorithm couldn’t be copyrighted since it’s just math.
Fun fact: When I was in a highly respected grad school in the 1980s (multiple Nobel Prize winners in the department), the QFT course was presented in such an obscure way, I stopped attending lectures, and I doubt anyone passed. The next year under "QFT" they taught Ashcroft -- i.e. a Solid State Physics course. That way requirements were met.

Let people decide what type of new (fake or not) they want to consume, is not up to the government to decide what the content that people watch/read/listen to. If you see something online that you don't like, look the other way.
This is simply untrue. Marcus is a fully licensed online-only bank, they have no physical branches whatsoever and everything is done through their website:

Someone on the Mozilla team seems to distribute DEB files: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

Lots of projects seem to producing DEB files. I think they're the most common shared distribution format except for maybe PKGBUILD files for Arch.

Loads of projects have their own package repositories but cross distro distributions like Flatpak and Snap tend to be recommended before the docs refer to the repositories. The extra two or three clicks necessary to get the repository URL seem to make a big difference in popularity.
Giap had been pushed aside by the time the US had any substantial number of US troops on the ground (~1965). He was briefly pulled back in in the early 1970's, but otherwise the strategy was driven by Le Duan at that point.

But suffice to say, the US lost because it took a "limited war" approach, while the North Vietnam were committed to "total war".
Pre-snap, Ubuntu does this through unattended-upgrades, it's not Firefox doing it itself. You can disable it: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1279041/disabling-firefox-ba...
Mining difficulty roughly maps to a financial incentive for a miner to operate. As that line rises, the number of miners who can afford to mine in any significant amount would naturally decrease, right?

Unless there's some other angle to convince miners to continue mining unprofitably, which feels like defeats the whole purpose of a crypto-maximal economy to me.

Bought a stock p5a, stuck on Graphene through the web installer, added apps from F-droid and Aurora. No Google stuff. A hell of a lot of apps run without even installing the Google services framework, and Aurora sure helps: anything requiring GSF is noted in the app descriptions.
> It's also really bothered me that tech companies of sufficient size can discriminate against legally-protected classes because "algorithms are complicated" and government regulators haven't pushed.

Care to elaborate? Discrimination in terms of what ads are displayed perhaps?

This is the second item about Billy Wilder posted this month. He was an interesting man, but I wonder why this should show up now: is there a new book coming out?

Nope, no daydreams here. And I cannot draw, though I am trying to learn (but it's hard to find time with young children), but that doesn't mean much. Famously, at least one of the people who started Pixar is an aphantasiac and, when they ran a survey of animators, IIRC, quite a few of them reported back that they also had/have it.
Firefox can upgrade in the background in two ways: Through its own internal mechanism, or (as Ubuntu did it pre-snap) with apt using unattended-upgrades. It's the unattended-upgrades one that does it without confirmation and blocks you from doing anything until you restart firefox.
Would you consider any of these reasonable scientific dissent:

1) We should not be overly concerned about global warming because near/future technology will likely solve the problem.

2) The weather changes will be gradual enough that people can adapt. People frequently migrate due to weather/climate.

3) There are a lot of climate-related orgs now that fund climate research. Is it possible that the existence of these organizations and continued-funding incentives result in a selective pressure to publish some results and not others?

Yes, but not server-internal metrics, as IIRC the telemetry provider plugs into http.Server as a middleware. It only exposes the kinds of metrics you could calculate yourself in a handler; it doesn’t expose any of the “good stuff” (e.g. work queues, accept(2) latency, etc.)

The 8-billion-pound elephant in the room is the number of people that need clothing. Wool, and eating meat, can be sustainable if demand is below an environmental-degradation threshhold. We're living "high on the bog" of the riches that petroleum provides, and weaning is painful (but worth it, if enough of us care about the life-stories of our great-great-etc-grandchildren).

There's no intrinsic value in Blockchain Tech.

Numbers in a computer merely signify what you are willing for them to signify. In that sense, blockchain tech is no different from fiat currency. That piece of colored paper in your pocket is merely a promise of worth. People can renege on their promises, either because they want to or because they are forced to.

The truly successful bootcamp grads often have a background in an adjacent field like physics, math, or EE. The ones that can thrive after simply going through a web dev bootcamp alone without a STEM background are very very rare. The only exception that I have seen so far are some English and literature majors (generally lawyers). Many people working in the legal field take easily to software engineering, an vice-versa.
Ubuntu has unattended-upgrades, which installs security updates through apt without user intervention. Firefox is included in this, it doesn't use firefox's auto-update mechanism.

I'm just baffled you live in a world where Amazon with $400b sales is an example of achievement, but Tesla at $54b is an example of failure and cult. So does that make Nvidia ($27b), Visa and Mastercard (combined $43b), and Coca Cola ($39b) failures too?

The agriculture shouldn't be there in the first place. This would just reinforce bad public policy. The places with an abundance of water also have a lot of underutilized land.

Entrepreneurs and startuppers. That's the reason why if a big disruption happens you and your company should stay away from ground zero.

I would say a big reason air fryers have become so successful is you don't have to bend down like an oven to use or clean.

Air fryers are a good example of a post-internet kitchen change.

There's nothing obviously logical about air fryers in a lot of houses. I'll use mine over my far more advanced, self cleaning oven whenever I can.

Looking after your back is also big in this kitchen, which is interesting. But in the end it wasn't at the project stage for ovens, it seems it was a modular device end users could buy.
America's Pipe Dream

Of course, a country that can shoot down a satellite can probably already launch a nuke, if they have one. And they likely have a bunch of stuff in space as well.

There are a few counterexamples, but they wouldn't be, for instance, Russia or China or the US. They'd be mad to do that over a power delivery system that they can utilize or hack.
I interviewed for some FAANGs a while ago and noticed that they were mostly interested in people who specialize in one very specific thing, and that the goal is/was to hire lots of them, all doing exactly one thing and knowing a lot about or being good at that one thing. They flat out told me they don't need generalists. One company told me they hire T-shaped people (but then had unrealistic expectations and it was more like I was supposed to know everything about everything with the same depth as a specialist). However, at least with one company it was clear that they would benefit from generalists. It might be that generalists are more useful in startup scenarios where you have to be able to deal with all kinds of situations but i'm not sure if other people have the same experience...

Wear merino, and help it last a long time by not washing it (or washing it gently). If our bodies don't stink (thanks to ammonia-eating bacteria like Nitrosomonas eutropha) we don't need to wash clothing as often, nor do we need to shower. Rolling in dirt like birds and horses is a stretch for most of us, but I think we'll figure out some way.
Sure. Normally I find quibbling annoying, but I hope you can understand why I want to highlight accessibility on a site that many of the world’s best software engineers frequent. I care about accessibility on all dimensions not just visual. At the end of the day accessible design is good design.
Yes. I have no visual imagery, either, but I know that I dream. I just have no recall, or very, very little. I've tried the dream log thing, etc. and nothing ever made a difference.

I have a handful of dreams that I can recall from the entirety of my life and a couple from childhood, a couple from adulthood. I know that 1 of them is a recurring dream. 3 of them are actually nightmares.
