Isn't this more likely just the cover story for a space based death ray? Why pass energy to the ground for your troops, if you can just kill your targets from space?

I wouldn't have any issue with this type of stuff if it was just for pure self understanding. It's interesting to have that kind of reflection. However, even if the science were sound, we wouldn't just fall into a single category, we would be a little bit in all of them. We also adapt to our surroundings and change a bit over time.

Unfortunately, the fact is that promotion and hiring decisions are made based on things like this. The people promoting it are usually business and HR people who don't have an understanding of how shakey their underpinning is. They just think "we want a reformer, and this fancy test says that Cam has the highest reformer points out of the applicants we've seen so let's hire them".
I have aphantasia. In ordinary waking life, I can't voluntarily summon images to mind. It's darkness.

But I have powerful visuals in dreams and on psychedelics. On LSD I once spent 15 minutes flying through a Henry Rousseau jungle on a toucan's back.

I can sometimes voluntarily summon images immediately before falling asleep.

Great question, by the way. I wonder if others have similar experiences.
If you read the articles linked, and look at the other studies done on global development, you see that the places that did the most to lift those limitations and regulations, that disrupt the natural checks and balances of the market, saw the greatest improvement in quality of life.

That is why there is a strong and persistent negative correlation between government spending, as a percentage of GDP, and the rate of economic growth:

The government limiting its role to vigorously defending people's security of person and private property, and enforcing contracts, is the best way we have come up with to facilitate economic development.

> The Sopranos cost 2 million dollars per episode

well, actors like to be paid...

you can make an infinite amount of breaking bad episodes without Brian Cranston, Aaron Paul, Bob Odenkirk, Giancarlo Esposito, and Jonathan Banks, but I guess people won't be so keen to pay to watch them.

But even if you use digital avatars, you have to pay them the same amount of money to use their image, because that's what people want to see, there's no way around it.

Besides, the Sopranos is a great show because they spend 2 million on each episode.

I'm sure you can recreate the same quality with a couple hundred dollars, but I'm also quite sure most of us regular humans couldn't.
I agree. Some numbers:

It varies from model to model, but with a few search in Google I got that a smartphone use approximately 5 watts, that's 5000000 microwatts. Let's assume that "a few" in the quoted text means 5, so you need 1000000 of these batteries to power a smartphone.

Each battery weight like 1 gram, so the total weight would be 1000Kg = 1 metric ton = 2000 pounds = 1 small car.

Let me tell you an old Jewish anecdote from Odesa (Ukrainian city with a significant Jewish population; russians hit a residential building there using a missile strike today, a few people died, 1 kid among them).
- Moisha, what’s the price of this meat?
- Abraham, it is 300 UAH/kilogram.
- But your neighbor is selling at 200 UAH/kg. Why yours is so expensive?
- Why don’t you buy there then?
- He doesn’t have it anymore.
- Well, when I don’t have meat, I sell it at 100 UAH/kg.

So, the price can be any when you don’t have a free market. In USSR, the official exchange rate was 0,7 rouble per dollar. Black market was 2-3 (might differ, depending on the year, of course).

Recently I have seen photo with X-rates in moscow:
USD buying at 70, selling at 300
EUR buying at 80, selling at 100
Looks silly, right? Everyone knows EUR costs more than USD. The reason is the same as in the anecdote above.
> Real VHS copy protection, like Macrovision, relied on signal interference that the playback device wouldn’t even detect, distorting the signal received by the recording device.

This isn't quite true and in fact Macrovision caused a great deal of issues for legitimate users--not all TV sets were able to track the not-quite-standard signal-- and there was some question of legality. (Can companies advertise their product VHS or NTSC if they didn't quite meet those standards, etc.)
Well there's another reason to shill Pop OS.. they have been de-snapping Ubuntu with great success for a while now.

With that said their 22.04 isn't out for a while and it sounds like there is a lot more involved for them this time around (just from reading this hn discussion)
'Hacking' an intravenous drug to make it work as an oral drug: One key part of the chemists’ strategy was to eliminate some of the hydrogen bond donors that keep PF-00835231 in the gut. If a particular hydrogen bond is critical to making the compound bind to the protease, it had to stay in the molecule. “We were looking for hydrogen bonds that we could get rid of without losing antiviral potency.”

Very frustrating just how much CPU/memory a blank Ubuntu install uses while idle vs Debian. For largely the same resulting system. I always prefer Debian because of crap like that.
Thank you, was hoping for someone to point this out.

Banks don't take deposits and they don't lend money. Banks create money.

When they "lend," what they are legally doing is purchasing a newly issued security for your home. And they are doing so with created money, that money is not transferred from some other account.

Similarly when you "deposit," the money is legally now the bank's. The bank now has a liability to you, but it is not a custodial intermediary "holding" your money for you.

It is poorly understood that banks are in fact creating credit. Most people believe in either the fractional reserve model of banking or in the financial intermediary model.

This is a real problem, because as they create credit to finance existing asset purchases (as opposed to financing new investment) they create asset price inflation & bubbles and foster inequality.

Read anything by the brilliant Richard Werner who writes about this extensively, this interview has a short summary of how banks actually work in law: https://youtu.be/EC0G7pY4wRE

First off, I trust Stapelberg, as I had him as an intern ~10 years ago :P

Secondly, I'd like to point out that I wired up my house for 1Gbit about 20 years ago. And I've been frustrated about the lack of home equipment for 10Gbit for about 15 years.

I mean, I reached download speeds of 150MB/s about ~15 years ago. What The Actual Fuck.

No, I don't live in the US, nor the Neterlands, nor Switzerland.
I rather feel like we are making things more complicated than needed in recent years. In ubuntu 14.04 8 years ago firefox plus treestyle tabs and adblock plus made a nice combination. Firefox was installed by default and one could go to the addons menu and in about 30 seconds install those 2 and have right off a decent experience.

Unattended-upgrades wasn't part of the default ubuntu install and everything updated at once. When you told it to.

Now to have the same experience you need to understand the difference between snap and apt and why you would want one vs the other. You need to understand ppas. You need to know how ppas interact with unattended-upgrades. You need to understand config files are in etc. You need to know how config file directories work. You need to know how to pin a package. It appears but I'm not sure that you need to know the difference between purge and remove.

Now if you want treestyle tabs to actually hide top tabs you need to figure out the weirdness of firefox profile dirs where its in ~/.mozilla/firefox/my-cat-walked-right-over-my-keyboard-and-had-a-fight-with-my-other-cat. Create a folder called chrome and inside it userChrome.css and either understand css or just blindly paste in some css someone else provided.

Then you need to open up about:config and change an arcane setting to make the above actually do something.

90% of that is actually useful understandings. Hey its not like css is only for themeing firefox and knowing about:config exists exposes useless things out of scope of normal configuration but in no universe should I wish my browser wasn't half as fast as windows and I wish tabs were on the side lead to that exiting 3 hour tour 1.

We can start having the professor run this ship instead of Gilligan any time now.

Firefox should be a Debian package by default. Installing a package from a PPA shouldn't bear on how its updated. Installing should be via a singular cli. If snap is to be integrated it should be an argument to that cli even if its not apt. Explicitly telling it to install the deb version should simply cause it to prefer that version thereafter. Absolutely none of this should require touching a config file in /etc.

On the firefox they should have found a way for an addon to hide the tabs a while ago and if the user explicitly drops a css file in their profile directory it shouldn't be gated by a setting in about:config. Meanwhile your firefox profile should be something like ~/.config/firefox/default-profile

What the hell is wrong with people.

I guess we should be supportive, and it is impressive how far they got on the software side, but boy, is the author in for a surprise.
I always found the most engaging fiction to be the ones that explore really interesting concepts, rather than ones that try to describe rather mundane things happening. I told someone I absolutely loved Asimov's Foundation series and they had a really weird complaint - they said it was just people sitting in rooms talking. Maybe occasionally they'd smoke a cigar.

I said yeah, but they're talking about something really cool! Would those books have really been improved if Asimov described the smoke or the room or whatever? Like who cares?

I don't even have aphantasia, but man, sometimes there's a really long description of something in a book and I can barely get through it.
I hope that boot's tasty.
There's no way the median US download speed is over 100mbps. Also, that link doesn't consider upload bandwidth.
I use and recommend Brave. People should definitely stop using Chrome imo due to the privacy concerns.

Edit: the reason I use Brave over firefox is largely because firefox drained my battery and always turned on the fans on my macbook last time I tried it. Things might be better now but I've settled in on Brave and am happy with it.
Good question, not sure.
There should be no flathub under this setup - it's bad for security, and wastes community energy. The useful aspect of application packages is to give vendors a path to get updates to users out of band from distro updates. If vendors aren't going to use it, then leave the packaging to the distros.
I'm encouraged they have an accessible choice. It's their life and their labor.
Every year 78M cars are sold in the entire world.[0]

1.2M is about 1% of that. This company gets the press of Apple, Microsoft or Google (it's even more than that, it's really a cult), and it peaked at a valuation similar to such companies which have total dominance in their respective markets (Microsoft also got in trouble because the dominance was achieved too soon and without having to lobby D.C. on the way there)

Tesla market share essentially amounts to nothing. People who are able to reason can understand that when the discrepancy between financial/press clout and presence in the real world is so big, there is either something broken in markets or fraud on a big scale.

Fraud was already uncovered at Tesla and the company and its CEO are constantly battling lawsuits.

It's an exercise in stock promotion more than a car company, the price of the stock is the only KPI that matters at Tesla, much like the approval rating is the only KPI that matters in the WH.

Like Trump, Musk found that it's more effective for his wallet to focus all his efforts on pumping that KPI via cult of personality as opposed to doing a good job at layer zero and let the KPI fall wherever it may.

Any of several alternative OSs have small-to-no ties to Google, though Google is a heavyweight in the Android Open Source Project (AOSP).

Check out CalyxOS or DivestOS as well.

>>No, tolerate a system that works as hard as possible to ensure that selling one's labor for wages is the only option, rather than a right

So you propose the government provide an alternative, by doing what I described, which is effectively to steal from the Ant to give to the Grasshopper, i.e. tax the more productive to provide resources to the less productive.

And the absence of this non-consensual redistribution is what you and Varoufakis absurdly enough, find intolerant to those who value freedom.

Marxism is deliberately obfuscated, to hide what it really advocates.

>>Tolerate a system in which increases in productivity accrue benefits mostly to capital rather than society as a whole. Tolerate a system in which profit is preferentially distributed to the capital that partially enabled it rather than the labor that also enabled it.

Increases in productivity accrue benefits to society at large right now. In the US, there was a small increase in capital's share of national income, but labor's share remains significant:

In those regions which witnessed significant productivity growth, wages increased substantially:

Did you ask the company that rejected you what the reason was? Did they tell you that it was the programming task or did you just assume it was? It is very likely that you did well, but one of the other candidates was a better fit overall... or had previous fin-tech experience or was slightly more experience... or something similar.

You as a programmer aren't expected to know everything. If you encounter a company which expects you to know everything in a particular narrow area even though they know you have no prior experience in that exact area, you probably don't want to work with them anyway.

Just go to an interview, do your best and don't worry too much about it. You are either a good fit for them or you aren't... and there are either better candidates than you or there aren't. There's not much you can do about those factors.
It’s against the rules of this forum to accuse people of being trolls.
1, 2, and 3 are actually all Apple policies.

1: Native appearance on new devices is solely to prevent them from looking bad on a user's new device. Presumably the user would rather have their apps work, but Apple wants the appearance.

2: Apple only ships new SDKs with new Xcodes and new Xcodes can't run old SDKs. This is strictly a technical policy to limit Apple's development effort. People have been able to extract old SDKs from old Xcodes to run in the new version but that's become harder and harder over the years.

3. Another technical policy, this time with many parts. Apple starts a new Xcode version's life supporting the current and future macOS versions, but then removes support for what is then the previous version at some point. This lets them remove compatibility code but cuts OS support in the middle of a major version cycle. Additionally, Apple seems to be dropping arbitrary hardware support in macOS over the last few years, so many developers can't upgrade to the latest OS at all.
In my experience it does not matter if you have a weakness. Just acknowledge it and move on. The only reason someone would fail so late in an interview imo would be either we found someone better or the applicant didn't acknowledge that he didn't know or wasn't familiar with what we asked.
Technology Connections is a true gem of a channel.
I can honestly say I wasn’t motivated by how wrong I felt you were, but by how I have been fiddling with declaration syntaxes like this over the last several months :)

Which actually led me to make an error here. The starting point was C syntax so I thought assuming a lexer hack was fair game, but the grammar above doesn’t actually need it! It doesn’t need one even if you add parameterized types with the same syntax as function calls. It only needs it if you want to write function calls as juxtaposition without parens ML style, use infix syntax for type application, or (and that is what I have been fiddling with) drop the semicolons.

(D'oh, I knew I was forgetting something! It was parenthesized expressions. And apparently I also screwed up optional comma termination. And curried calls.)

So, for example, you can add these productions to the grammar above and it still stays LR(1):

# Remove lexer hack, add parameterized types
type -> name | type ( ) | type ( type ) | type ( targ ) | type ( targ type ) .
targ -> type , | targ type , .

# Fix the stupid
dfun -> ambi ( darg decl ) | dfun ( decl ) | dfun ( darg ) | dfun ( darg decl ) .
efun -> ambi ( earg expr ) | efun ( expr ) | efun ( earg ) | efun ( earg expr ) | ( expr ) .

I’m not really a fan of this variant of “declaration mirrors use”, mind you. Type ascription usually requires some other syntax (both C and Go suffer from this); custom types that don’t have special punctuation are awkward and even tuples will be kind of forced. Typing the occasional colon does not seem like a bad tradeoff in comparison. I’d love to see these problems solved, though.
These terms could easily describe extremists from both ‘sides’, with some slight alteration.

I’m not an expert but have read a half dozen or so books about the war. The NV army was far more disciplined than the US or SV army, for one thing. For another, they had a brilliant strategist for a general (Giáp), while US strategy was being devised by, frankly, an incompetent general and Secretary of Defense. Also, the CIA supplied terrible intelligence.
Although I've no snap experience, first launch performance of Flatpak apps is a good reason for me to steer clear.
I used to love ubuntu and have been a xubuntu promoter between friends for quite a while, but now I am considering moving away from it, given that they are more and more aggressively pushing people to use their halfbaked binary store solution, which sounds insane, given we already have a pretty "apt" package manager which can install and solve a dependency graph just fine.

People that moved away from Ubuntu because of the same crap, what are you using now?

What other distros can I use without getting too crazy on configuring shit? My use case is booting a Linux box to develop Python/Rust apps, maybe a docker/docker compose in there and that's it.

Don't get me wrong, I love what distros like Nix are doing, but I don't have 16 years anymore and all the free time in the world to tweak my environment to oblivion. I just want to boot an environment which is somewhat standard, run Pycharm, VSCode, and code my shit on.

Thanks in advance.
