It's like saying a prayer when your plane is about to crash and there's nothing else you can do. Probably won't amount to much, but what's the downside?

In McD's case, there's tremendous upside. Perhaps it will be feasible for them to operate there again someday.

Why do you think so, of you agree inability to simulate brain has nothing to do with it?

Is your premise that when two parties trade, the selling party "wins" and the buying party "loses"? Ignoring the specifics of McDonald's, in general, the reason to make a trade is that both parties believe they will be better off. By not trading, it hurts both parties.
Recently my wife found some Bubble Tape in the store. We were kind of taken aback by how horrible the modern packaging was.

- https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61pGZX8pXLL._SX679_PIbun...

The entire "Bubble Tape" text is in an illegible font under a giant Hubba Bubba logo, as if kids have some sort of Hubba Bubba brand loyalty they're trying to play on. I assure you they don't.

Compare to the old packaging. It was clean, fun, and to the point of the fun that waited inside for the kid.

It's as if the modern redesigners didn't realize they're marketing to children.

I have a drawer where old SBC's go to die :) It's right next to my arduino/micropython boards.

Years ago i ran quite a lot of stuff on a Raspberry Pi, but despite them growing more and more capable, my computing needs at home have gotten less and less.

I ran a homebuilt surveillance system on them for some years, RPi Zeros for the nodes with motion detection, and a NAS as a storage target and object detection, but i eventually replaced it with UniFi Protect and HomeKit Secure Video.

A couple of years ago i still had a couple running AdguardHome, but after that got replaced by NextDNS, i have only one left, running "power monitoring" and HomeBridge in my summerhouse.
Didn't they already basically legalise pirating western software?
I have been an independent consultant for almost my entire career - working with clients large and small, mostly on solo projects.

Took a FT job at a megacorp a few years ago and assigned a new project - I read the specs/requirements and in my IC mind thought to myself - if I was hired as contractor to develop this tool, how much would I charge? and how long would it take me? - and came up with 1 person, for 2 months, and would have been delighted to be able to bill $40K for it, but probably would have went it at $60K on a fixed bid (I always preferred fix bids).

Of course this wasn't a project I was bidding on, I was just the lead dev - the company pulled together a team of almost a dozen people and a budget of just over a million dollars with a 8 month timeframe to get it done - they also budgeted another $120K/year to host it when it was done on multiple big servers in the internal data center.

We spent the full million dollars and got it done - I did however have one small win and pushed them to micro-services solution in S3 and Aws Lambda and got the whole thing to run within the free-tier of an AWS account.

If you ever start a small software company, don't ever hire people that have only worked in large enterprises - they just don't know how to get things done cost or time efficiently.

The article is talking about how extreme the lockdown is. As other commenters have pointed out, it's normal to expect some non-zero number of sales, so when there's an exact zero, it's very odd.

As an example, notice how they said "almost all dealerships" and not "all dealerships". Non-zero numbers are normal. Absolute zero is a very strange signal.
> the rollout seems to have been global and immediate

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropicana_Products#:~:text=tre..., it was "only" in the US (it was in 2009 btw); weird, I wouldn't have been surprised if the $30 million was already spent before they actually went into store shelves. It wouldn't have been "just" a packaging redesign, they would have to do a big marketing campaign (billboards, TV ads, etc) as well to make people aware the packaging had changed.
I can't say that I've ever complained about any one of the rules; it's the constant churn of them that drives me insane.
Based on my observations over the past year, I’m certain that Google and Bing choose not to show us most of the web anymore.

I usually find what I’m looking for. It just takes literally three orders of magnitude longer than it used to for the same kind of stuff. I used to use Google a lot to jog my memory about various things I vaguely remembered. Type a few associative words and snippets, press Enter, done. Google’s useless for that now.

If you’re looking for hot pop shit in trendy publications, things to buy, commercial services to subscribe to - G has you covered. That’s what they do now.
While the "cloud" can look easier (and is indeed easier to start), there is quite big its own complexity around it - learning, tooling, specific problems, performance limits, costs and so on. Also most of this knowledge is not quite reusable.

But if you use the cloud carefully, selectively and avoid vendor lock-in as much as possible, you will be OK and it will be not hard to move to Hetzner (dedicated) incrementally later.
Mircopayments (in the form of "Read this article without a subscription for 2 cents - click here") are one of those ideas that everyone claims they want but don't.

The only way consumers can use micropayments is to set up a subscription via a credit card (or similar). Either with the vendor themselves or via a thirdparty. They don't want to do that.

Publishers don't want to deal with the hassle of accepting 100000 small transactions, some percentage requires them to add sales tax, some percentage will fail, and a non-zero percentage will be reversed. In the face of these problems, getting a check every month for advertises seems like a much better bet.

The closest thing to micropayments for content makers is something like Patreon, where consumers pay a small amount up-front for access to future content. But even here, a small amount is usually a few dollars rather than cents.
I don't think we soley disagree. I think it's essential to keep certain products out of the masses hands. These certain products are product with high "addictability" and high "abusabulity" (might be the same thing?). As a single example I'd put all opioids in that compartment. (There are more but I think this is one everyone agrees on)

Food on the other hand, while it's addictive it's also essential for literally everyone. I for example am such a lazy piece of shit that I haven't cooked in years, for me it would be devastating if the unhealty but calorie rich and affordable food went away.

That's an anecdote, but yes if access to high-calorie food is limited people are less likely to get/stay overweight.

Norway has a thing for this to reduce candy intake, they have a sugar tax. And while I'm not all for the government taking all my money, in a socialist society I think it makes perfect sense to tax something that'll cause a significant amount of people health issues to pay for it in advance. Same with cigarettes, they're super expensive in Norway, so that you've hopefully somewhat paid off your lung-cancer treatment once/if you get it.

There's no one size fits all for this, but there are definitely things we should keep out of peoples hands. I do not however think food is one of those.
I remember reading about new verification systems that (probably) rely to much on automated systems. At least for Facebook ads you should be able to contact some form of support. Take a look at [1] and [2].

Did you use VPN while opening of the accounts?

You've included all of fontawesome 4.7 (font and css) for a single icon.

Also there is a lot of JS on what could be a static page with some css.

The vertical layout of the categories is weird it would be better if they were at the top like HN.

The categories are weird like "Stores/TODO" and "Rent".

There is hardly any content here literally 16 links.
You are probably right about the future; not necessarily because of spam, though that's a part of it, but just because of the toxicity of global, open to the world, mostly public social media. The Fediverse has mostly coasted by so far on obscurity, but it's not great, and it's bound to get worse. All of my online socializing these days is either through short-lived pseuds on topic-oriented fora, or invite-only Matrix rooms.
Been through this quite a few times. I love programming but hate the industry.

I do fine on my own but would probably make more money working for a bigger company. I won't do a long interview process for free though. Oh well.
Just different use cases then. Emacs isn't my main coding tool these days but I still use it for single-file editing, and I close it when I'm done with that file. The start up time does matter to me somewhat. Though I have a pretty simple config for the same reason and it's not bad enough for me to spend time on. I do keep an eye on it though.
PoE devices needs an isolation transformer in order to be compliant, and it takes quite some real estate. However, so does 110V/220V, but i guess we're so used to "hiding" it in a wall-wart.
Only solution is a webring based federated search engine.

1. You just put /webring.txt to your website. It shows links to other websites with a hard limit of 100 websites.

2. To combat spam and bots, search engine does accept blocklist as an input. So other people can curate the content.

3. People can personally rank the websites they like, so webring of the said website gets ranked higher for that specific user. This can be a community effort too.

4. Search engine itself should be under a commercial license so that other people can keep building it and add ads if they want to commercialise it.

I’m too busy to spend time with this but perhaps one day I can start coding it.

I’m convinced that search engine model of early internet is just dead, webrings are the way forward.
Oh but you could save money by not spraying roofs…
I don't say that he has no right to think that. But it boils down to what conception of the world you have. If we think as "modern life" as dependant on steel based bridges, farming grass to get meat, yeah it will probably be impossible. But that's as conservative as thinking that we are no more Italians if we are European. And it's not.
So while he spends 50 years on thinking why some materials are relevant, there are other people spending their lives with a more open mind, thinking how we can adapt and change.
And this doesn't change the fact that I read an article full of useless information about processes which will have to change, with no sort of effect on my daily life or routine.
So while I'm not critiquing an essayer for doing his job, I still find it rather pointless to have such an article on Time. We all know that if processes require finite resources, there will be problems. So?
Or you sell the excess power to other countries like France does with excess nuclear.

I wonder how much their power would cost if they were forced (for no reason at all) to store all that excess nuclear power and use it themselves rather than sell it to willing buyers. It would make nuclear look really uneconomic. Even more so than it already is.
sure, but thats not revenue and doesnt contradict what i wrote above. The revenue of year 2 replaces the investment of year 1, everything beyond is unbounded profit. Whether capital investment earns the right to sole access of those profits is the question.

You can see before your eyes what happens when the answer to that question is "Yes".
The cyrillic "Щ" (a W with a tail) is pronounced Shcha, I saw a shawarma restaurant in Russia using an upside-down McDonald's double arches, in the same yellow.
That's it, I mean it would already have less impact if they put "tropicana" horizontal and the biggest font size on it. Instead it was "100% juice", which is what you expect on a brandless, generic product.

People don't buy orange juice, they buy Tropicana. Likewise, they don't buy lemon & lime soda, they buy Sprite; they don't buy beer, they buy Budweiser or Heineken because you can't call those products "beer", and oh also the brands are well known I guess. We don't use search engines, we use Google; conversely, this is why Facebook's corporate rebranded to Meta, because they wanted to distance themselves from the social network.
Have you ever looked at a job at Canonical (Ubuntu)? I think that's the most jaw dropping interview process I've ever seen

Effectively you write an autobiography and they might read it. I gave up after a couple of hours realising it was such a dumb waste of time to be writing about high school.. I left over half my lifetime ago lmao. It was like squeezing blood out of a stone trying to remember anything from that time.

Don't even bother applying if you have ADHD or anything with similar symptoms, you're not what they're after.

Chargepoint: An electric car charging network.

You seed your account with $20. Sometimes charging is free, sometimes it's $1-2 dollars, and sometimes it's more. When your account gets low, they bill your credit card.

EZ Pass: The electronic toll network on the East Coast of the US. Works similar to Chargepoint. If you only drive a few miles on a toll road they deduct a few cents from your account.
How does countries joining a defensive alliance threaten Russia?.

Maybe if Russia stopped invading all its neighbours and all the prior USSR states, these states would stop joining NATO.

The only thing NATO stops is Russian imperialism.
Well then his point about Bitcoin not being guaranteed as a growth asset is irrelevant - that assumption applies to any investment derivative of Bitcoin or obviously, Bitcoin itself. The real argument is what the returns on mining stocks are compared to ownership, and the magnitude of that difference is what's important; there should be some difference (investors are paying for not having to custody Bitcoin, among whatever regulatory benefits they may get from using the stock market) and those benefits are not quantified in this article as far as I can tell.
The thing that most frustrates me about YAML is probably not the language itself but the poor IDE and GitHub tooling I have been using. Trying to figure out the hierarchy of a key in a YAML file (local or GH) is incredibly frustrating. With formats like JSON at least (if nothing else) I can just open the file in vi, find the next close-curly and hit % to find the parent -- easy.

Significant whitespace is also a problem but I think that war has been lost.
> My last office had dogs and kegs.

Sounds horrible (I have allergies).
It was after approx 70 years of Soviet regime. People had never seen anything like this before, during their whole life.
> Unions in general are overly focused on job security and fairness in pay at the expense of other things like total salary.

Not necessarily true. Pro sports athletes have unions, and their compensation is usually much larger than ours.

But there's almost always a power differential between employers and employees, which is why collective bargaining can be helpful. And it's not just about pay, it's about working conditions. There's a massive controversy nowadays about WFH for example.
Oh and it must have a keyboard and run Linux.
There is no good DOS client left to support modern implementations of SMB now that 1.0 has been removed from most modern servers. For a while I was using the MS-DOS Client with Samba, I think the new versin of Samba finally took out SMB 1.0
that’s not how it works

supporting Ukraine = supporting “fascist Regime” (in Russian terms)

It seemed wild to me too, but I double checked and I don't see any errors. Here's the data and calculations, annotated with sources. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11hd-Q6KdkNETiRBs_JYw...

Keep in mind that these are companies that made a big bet when Bitcoin was in the 50-65k range that it would keep going up. They planned their expansion based on that scenario, so it's not that crazy that they allowed their margins to get so slim.

Russia is a vassal state of china and shows the direction emperor Xi wants to go, but can't afford to. They wanted to show that dictatorships are more powerfull and efficent than democracy but even the market (inkl Mc. Donalds) showed that they aren't. I wonder if humanity will survive the next maybe indiect conflict with China...
>“McDonalds, evil American company, left our people without jobs and betrayed our trust”

You got me curious and I decided to check. They actually carried out reasons stated by McDnalds and respected the fact that through the whole process company has behaved responsibly towards employees and seeks their future employment as a condition for perspective buyers. I saw no signs of propaganda in the article.

Pretty neat! Takes advantage of the fact that the parser needs to use a recursion or stack to handle parenthesis. If it can handle parenthesis, it has all the tools necessary to handle operator precedence. If we think of how a recursive descent parser would implement operator precedence, by means of one level of recursion per each precedence level, this trick is basically encoding that in terms of parenthesis.
Get a galaxy note based smartphone--you need to get notes and have something you will always have with you to get task notes to feed into your system. Star items that are action items for you. Get a smart watch. The only feature you require here is for it to buzz. You will turn your phone on silent for meetings and miss your task tracking cues so the watch will fix that. Get a private Kanban board and share that with your task lead. Use jira or the like to track your team/reports status. Get access to your project plan. You are trying to create a sense of urgency externally since your prefrontal cortex isn't maintaining task salience/has time blindness. Make sure to get buy in from your task lead. If you have issues with this, request it as a reasonable accommodation, assuming you live in a country that protects disability rights. Set frequent alarms. Set aside time cued by these alarms to a) review your task notes and cross their stars off when you complete or get them into a tracking system. b) review your tracking systems to remind yourself of all the work you/your team must complete. Get a neurologist or your family doctor to prescribe a stimulant style medicine if you can tolerate it first, then look at other options. You need dopamine going to your prefrontal cortex to maintain task salience first and foremost. Your tools and processes are externalizing your executive function. No joke, watch all of Barkley's vids. I have successfully lead teams of up to 20 and teams of teams with these accomodations. They also help with IC tasks to keep me on track for heads down, help the team time.
Pretty much every university is charging their employees to park, yes, even the underpaid adjuncts.
Data being encrypted at rest is usually a security requirement. But if you only care about passing security audits, you can use the managed keys of your cloud provider.

If you don't trust your cloud provider enough to let them manage your encryption, you should probably not use their services. If you use an cloud provider from USA, you should trust the USA too as they can access your data without letting you know. It probably applies to other countries too, but the big cloud providers are from USA.
How much collusion do you expect between those major entities? I expect virtually none. They won't have some folder where they share 'john doe created an account, ban him on your platform'

Do you expect you've been compromised and hackers are screwing with you? I doubt it.

Flipside, what does make sense? You're on a list. Your government is the one who has decided you cannot have those accounts.
It sounds like the only way you could possibly implement this is by having ad networks sell ad blocking. However, there are too many ad networks for this to be viable.

For all practical purposes the various component systems (react, angular, vuejs, svelte) all have the same abstractions, and they are quite powerful. The front end wars are over, the component abstraction won.

But the browser native solution, "web components" proper, we have found do not have the same capabilities.

This conclusion comes from a team I lead that produces components for internal consumption by our product teams. We generate Angular and React components from our own DSL. When we considered creating web components we found they were limited in the manipulation of child content (in angular terms: projected content). There were numerous other nits that kept coming up that I don't remember.

It seems to me the web component idea itself is a zombie. This may be overstating the case because my perspective is about supporting hundreds of teams, but I sense it has no future.
Totally agree that it's strange. I hate Microsoft MORE than the next guy. I will never get over the company they were in the 90's, and funding the SCO lawsuit against IBM. And I view the warm, fuzzy "Linux-friendly" Microsoft with high-levels of skepticism. That all being said, I have a couple of larg-ish, cross-departmental apps running on Azure infra, and I find their portal to be very good; a mile ahead of futzing around in AWS. (Of course, I understand that AWS was designed to be CLI-friendly first, but I don't need to deploy fleets of similar objects at a time.) So I can't fault Microsoft for Azure. I actually like it. One of my apps is a Rails app (with all the attendant nonsense) and one is the backend of a Windows-native app, and the integration with Visual Studio for deploying services to their cloud really is nice.
I think honestly it highlights the power of marketing as much as anything else. In some ways, building an open network is always going to put you at a disadvantage to a company that can throw money at user acquisition and PR teams. That federated networks like Mastodon have seen growth reflects the fact that word of mouth still means something in 2022.
