> MHO they should have let the biggest banks crash and relied on the FDIC to protect Joe Schmoe's bank accounts.

The problem have never been bank accounts. The problem have been pension accounts, all the time.

Instead of the old European way of a public, universally funded rolling pension scheme (aka current workers pay for the pensions of the current pensioners in exchange for credits), the US went for almost pure stock and other IOU-based (e.g. bonds) pension funds - a decision that has been biting the US in the butt for the last fifteen years. The FED literally can't do anything that even has the potential of sending the stock market into a major decline because even small corrections wipe out the pension security of the people.

Of course, Big Finance has been exploiting that forced abundance of money ever since. When 35 trillion dollars (!) [1] are available in the market solely due to pension funds, even extremely tiny management fees of a tenth of a percent add to a massive payout for the industry!

The US is in for a really, really wild ride: The pension system obviously needs reform when large amounts of "pensioners" have to work at age 75 and above because their pensions are too low [2], the pension system is unsustainable because it effectively requires endless printing of money and introduces extremely bad side effects (such as enormous amounts of capital being wasted on bullshit in the vain hope it might evolve into a "unicorn"), and at the same time the political deciders can be very well said to be bought off by Big Finance which will do everything it can to avoid being cut off of the money heroin spigot that is pension funds. Not to mention that voters are not going to vote for any politician that the opposition (aka either primary competitors or the actual opposition) can smear as "it will endanger pensions".

The effective way out would be a nationalization of all pension fund assets and a complete turnover of the entire system, but we all know that that is not going to happen.

This is why I don't trust Google anymore, especially when it comes to anything medical I might buy.

I always Google something and add "Reddit" to it to get better real, less-biased opinions on something.

Or if there is a site dedicated to discussion of the topic (ie. an old school forum or message board), I'll go straight to that and search there.

I suppose X in this case would be any of the number of graph databases out there. Ontotext GraphDB, Virtuoso, AWS Neptune.

Of course there are other GraphDBs with additional properties and custom query languages such as Neo4j and its query language Cypher. I Find that Neo4j's property graph is more intuitive to model data with than a plain RDF store and Cypher has some advantages over SPARQL as well
It makes me wonder if they’ll drop support for repairs once devices hit 2 years old. That would largely defeat the entire point of offering repair parts and manuals in the first place.

That's really an app store problem.

Nothing says that Google couldn't prioritize applications that need the least permissions, or make it easy to filter by permissions, or even have an acceptance policy that said "A calculator app can't look into your contacts".

The system could favor the user in this regard, Google just doesn't want it to.

Gitlab New Logo: DevOps Is at the Center of Gitlab
One explanation I've heard (don't remember which news source) is that dentists just don't have as much demand as in previous decades.

Due to improvements in hygiene, and public health measures such as water fluoridation, children get fewer cavities and adults lose fewer teeth ("having an insufficient number of teeth" was once a major cause of men being rejected from the military draft).

So dentists have had to pivot from providing necessary care, such as fillings and extractions, to more discretionary services such as whitening and other cosmetic procedures (oh how my last dentist used to try to push Invisalign® on me at every visit!)
I don't believe dealers are intentionally cutting fentanyl with cocaine. It's more likely a case of cross-contamination.

"National data show that a relatively low percentage of the cocaine tested by law enforcement contains fentanyl, although the mixture has become more common. Less than 1% of the cocaine samples tested by the Drug Enforcement Administration in 2016 contained synthetic opioids, according to figures provided to NPR; in 2020, it was up to 3.3%."

3.3% is a lot higher than I expected, though I wonder if there is a selection bias going on there.
Not only that but from what I understand, a major nerve in your jaw grows closer to your wisdom teeth over time. So if you wait on a procedure like that until later in life, it increases the chance that the nerve will be damaged in the procedure, leading to a potential loss of feeling in part of your face. At least this is what I was told by my oral surgeon, assuming he wasn't lying to me for profit...

For one thing, no one knows how much Tesla stock Musk will have to sell to raise cash. No one knows how much of Musk's attention will be diverted away from Tesla. Yes, Musk uses twitter to bring attention to himself and Tesla, but it's far from guaranteed that he can translate ownership of it into more sales for Tesla.
Heavy NDAs so only large companies could "repair" the software. Thus making repair expensive beyond feasibility.

Better legislation would require timely support for commercial software that is sold for a purpose, with a stated minimum timeframe not unlike a warranty.
Production costs put a floor in pricing, but no ceiling - though if you extract too much profit someone may compete.

Which is why companies love regulations once they’re in - widens the moat and keeps competitors out.
I am not sure about main Khan Academy, but Khan Academy Kids has been a great resource. Completely free educational app with no advertisement in it. It has been hard to find anything else that can compare. Does it go down hill from there?
Regulations provide increased safety but at an extremely high cost. In the absence of regulation companies need to build trust with consumers through their reputation and third party auditing.

Consumer protection is vastly overrated IMHO. Better to have more affordable healthcare for all than high liability healthcare that only the rich can afford.

/etc/resolv.conf is a funny one.

Used to be, you could update it manually. Then NetworkManager (or whatever its successor is) came along and would change it back on you. Oh well, you could still edit it for a quick test.

Then I set up a Wireguard tunnel. And it changed /etc/resolv.conf. Oh, but an entry is missing, I'll just add that and test. Nope, read-only. But I'm root! What gives?

Turns out the wg-quick script mounts a file on top of /etc/resolv.conf! I didn't even know that was possible until I saw it. Nobody messes with wg-quick's resolv.conf, and that's final! Until some other tool ups the ante and gets code to undo that.
This is deeply embedded in the definition of both microphone and speaker.

Any given electrical excitation can be either provided or detected by the part which couples the audio signal to the speaker aka microphone, and if this is an exception it is the first of which I am aware.

This is actually very cool: a dataset of 3900 CVEs, with a matching fixing commit for 1359 of them.

So, lots of opportunity to find a big payout w/r/t the unfixed CVEs. Whether successful or not, those attempts will definitely strengthen the ecosystem.

And possibly even shame Google into providing cross-vendor Android security fixes... (note to the uninitiated: this is heavy sarcasm, will never happen, etc. etc.)

Wow, thanks for the comprehensive response. This jogs my memory a bit although at the time I wasn't able to pay as much attention to this as I would have liked. What a sad situation. I was curious about this:

>"I suspect the jury is still out on that one given that stuff like GPT-3 doesn't really meet people's prior expectations of what AI will be like, but still."

I apologize if this is a naive question but what is the connection between GPT-3, browsers and Berners-Lee?
Policy should be included with the software package

I don't agree with this. When you do this, any malicious package can just ship a new policy that allows the maliciousness it's planning to do.

By all means, split up the mega-policy into usable app-sized chunks, but shipping the policy in the same rpm as the application is self-defeating.
I don’t see where it says they have a problem with it, they just called it out as interesting.
This happened to me at the exact same time! That seems like it could be a new system or something that has a bug
> They have also made public statements that outright state that voice data doesn't get used for ad-targeting[3]

“not use customers’ voice recordings for targeted advertising.”

I guess it depends on how one reads that quote. A trusting sort could read that to mean, we don't use anything we learn from voice recordings for targeted advertising.

A skeptic might read that quote and determine:

Well we generate metadata from the recording, and we then use the metedata for targeted advertising, but we don't use the actual recording for advertising.

Which makes sense, if I was to implement something like this, I wouldn't use the actual recording, I'd process the recording(which I have to do anyway to answer the request) and if I happen to save some useful for advertising data along the way, well, more $$'s for me!

Which one is true? I guess it mostly depends on how hungry Amazon is to make a buck and what they think they can get away with. As a privacy snob, I'd prefer the trusting version to be true.
I hate to be so negative, but it's likely that by the time you have significant medical conditions to worry about, you will no longer have the time/spirit to engage in such productive playing.
That’s a reasonable hypothesis as well.

But if this explanation is correct, we’re being told that we’re desperately lacking diversity, and we need fresh new voices to add new ideas at the same time that hiring practices are optimizing for hiring people who have about the same outlook on the world. Having a hard time of making sense of the consistency of all of that.
Makefiles are excellent, but I think they're hampered a bit by their extremely terse syntax (see also: perl). I wonder if a slightly different dialect would help modern users who are used to more verbose languages work with them.

Off the top of my head, take this make example:

%.o: %.c %.h
gcc -o $@ $<
mkdir $*
cp $@ $*

and spell it out a bit more:

$MATCH$.o <- $MATCH$.c $MATCH$.h
gcc -o $OUT$ $FIRST_DEPEND$
mkdir $MATCH$
cp $OUT$ $MATCH$

Obviously this needs a lot more thought than that, but I think newbies would find the 2nd format much more friendly than the first.

My observation from my brief time of being a spectator in that world was the second tier or lower first tier players would train specifically to beat the strategies of the top players. I think the game generally is too hard to be all-around great against every other play style and strategy.
Not surprised on this, I think the rise and demise of clubhouse predicted both behaviors. Long form audio “rooms” require constant attention to follow.

Leaked Audio from Twitter Execs Reveals Scramble to Cope with Musk Takeover
I provided this prompt: "The reason Susan always left her keys in the refrigerator on Wednesdays was simple -". Result:

The reason Susan always left her keys in the refrigerator on Wednesdays was simple - to keep them warm. They would get so cold!

That morning was another one of those mornings.

Susan's husband, Tom was a real handy guy. And it showed. When he showed up at the door that Wednesday morning, there were no keys in sight. Tom looked at her blankly, then at the keys in the freezer and back at Susan.

"What's going on here, hon?" Tom asked.

"Don't ask me, I'm not one of the mysteries," Susan shot back. "Just look in the refrigerator."

Tom, bless his heart, grabbed the keys and opened the refrigerator door. He pulled out a bottle of the finest cognac and carried it over to the couch. Tom was a bit tipsy that morning.

"I'm gonna grab the keys," Tom said.

"No!" Susan said, reaching for them.

But Tom was quicker, he snatched the keys from her fingers
The distro ships the packages and the SELinux policy. You're always trusting the distro. The mega policy also comes in an RPM.
Open source is an alternative to legislated proprietary software. There is no feasible path towards legislating that all software companies must provide the source code for their products today. Though that may have been an alternative future had our timeline forked somewhere in the early 1970s.
I agree, 500W is when my 2 TVs, 2 desktop PCs, 2 32 inch monitors, NAS, router, 3 wifi APs and 3/10 lights are on and my fridge, freezer and other miscellaneous non-smart devices are plugged in.

Idle power with NAS, router and wifi APs are on, and TVs, PCs, Monitors are in standby is about 150W. It can be lower, but it is convenient and with $0.10/kWh it is just $10 a month.
I wonder if they’re not correctly accounting for warehoused stock - or if they’re doing something silly like comparing a very small profit (or even a loss) during Covid to being back to making a profit now.

There is a little dance that Apple has done a dozen times. It starts with "Apple supports independent repair*!" and ends with terms of the asterisk that completely preclude independent repair. Not in a half-assed way, either, but in a carefully crafted airtight trap. Grandparent post might be jumping the gun, but Apple has shot this gun so many times and hit the RtR crowd so many times that I have a very hard time blaming them for jumping.

It may turn out that this program is good, in which case the correct path forward is to codify it into law. Apple should have a seat at the table when deciding terms. However, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should they be allowed to dictate terms, because they have abused that privilege time and time again. Otherwise, the moment the press looks away, they'll bring back the killer asterisks. They've done it before and they'll do it again if we let them.

In that case, maybe a model would be to recruit the top students (selected early in the course based on their submitted) work) to act as tutors for say groups of 10 or so. Pitch them on the idea with "the best way to learn something is to explain it to someone else."
Lee from Vercel (Next.js) – could you share some of things you feel you're working against the framework for? Open to any feedback. It's indeed a tricky balance between having lots of options vs. having the one "paved road" for everyone to take.

Also, I like to think of Svelte as the successor to jQuery, as it's the closest to "just vanilla JavaScript" I've seen (yes, I know there's some non-standard JS syntax in there).
Okay, but it turns out that people will pay whatever it takes to keep food, water, and shelter. So if price analysis were as simple as you seem to think, everyone will eventually be completely emiserated by spending the entirety of their income on simply staying alive.

Which is why we have laws to keep prices close to "what a thing costs to produce", and companies can't just take advantage of inflation to raise their profit margins; since, when they've historically done this, it kills a ton of people.
Oracle to PostgreSQL
You have traded an absolutely enormous attack surface of hundreds of syscalls and a whole system full of files and apps for a much narrower attack surface involving the CPU and whatever the hypervisor exposes which can just be virtio-style pseudo-devices. Besides if the CPU is vulnerable than regular apps can probably exploit it too.

Also I didn't say the best approach would necessarily be hardware VMs, though that is one option and is valuable to let you just plug and play existing applications unmodified. I personally think we need to get away from shipping all software as raw hardware-tied binaries in favor of something like WASM. Java and the .NET CLR had the right idea decades ago, but these were insufficiently versatile and too tied to just one language or platform instead of being a general purpose VM bytecode. WASM is heading in the right direction but doesn't seem to quite be there yet.

Only apps that actually need to use e.g. special CPU features or run tightly optimized ASM code should ship with native binaries or native modules/libraries for the high-performance parts, and that should be something you have to approve.

Internet was always full of spam. But somehow Google was able to correctly categorize it. Now it seems like Google is not keeping with it. It seems like that sites which might provide trusted information are not ranked well. It is interesting that these sites do not have Google Adsense (since they are mainly run by schools, public institutions, etc.) The same is happening with YouTube.

I think it is definelly possible to sort results better (pure engineering problem). But there is really no short term insentive for that. Maybe in long term this will help Google to stay on top but that is not 100% clear: it is hard to predict how content discover will look in the future.

I agree with this too. Savings accounts became a thing of the past 20 years ago or more; the Fed wiped out returns on them with permanently low interest rates. It was deliberate to get that cash into the stock market.

The whole shebang was absolutely engineered to make the stock market the center of all fiscal policy, centralizing all risk and driving all decision-making towards keeping that Jenga tower piling up.

I suppose that an enterprising shop could stock up on common parts expected to need repair, such as USB ports and screens. They could even speculate on other less-common parts but would need to mark them up 1000% if only 10% of that stock is expected to ever sell.

Note that the core charge might be an attempt to prevent such stocking up.

That mistake was already made in the 90s. The West had high hopes of transforming Russia into a civilised member of the world, and they've just used that support to strengthen themselves. Russians are imperialistic, Russians opposing Putin are imperialistic too. They despise other nationalities, especially those of the neighbouring countries.
