I think it's better to think of it not as a complete rejection of reality, but recognizing the limitations of empirical methods. Mainstream economics today is arguably too focused on indicators, just collecting a bunch of data and finding correlations, then jumping to causation from that.
Neat idea! As a podcaster I would love to be able to get feedback on my episodes this way. Have you ever considered adding the ability to embed it on external websites?

Also, I tried claiming my podcast and commenting but neither seems to have worked for me. Perhaps because of high traffic?
You say that because we know about it because it's transparent. We don't prosecute every crime but we can get some of them and we can deter a lot of them. If you've ever worked at a financial firm they are typically extremely rigorous about compliance.

CentOS Linux lives on in the new AlmaLinux 9
At my youngest child's elementary school, I could pick random kids to give food to and have an 80% chance of them being disadvantaged and/or food insecure. The only tricky part would be contacting their parents to get permission and/or get the parents to come along, and that would be manageable.

Arguably I don't live in a developed country, but it's a US state...
I disagree, 92 -> 94% is a 25% reduction in waste!
And then people frequently complain about these varieties—for example, that the BLS produces a "core" version that excludes food and energy even though there's also a version with that stuff included.

> Oh and if you think the internet situation is bad up here in Canada, then wait 'till you hear about our mobile phone rates.

I wasted a good half a day going around different mobile phone shops in Vancouver because I couldn't understand why none of them had a $20 pay as you go simcard which would have me a dozen GB of data and some calls.

In the end one of the shop assistants who had been to Europe understood our confusion and explained that those just don't exist in Canada. He also showed us the coverage map and that the minute we left Vancouver cell service would be next to nothing anyway.

On a related note I think this is what is sort of wrong about the raspberry pi as tool for teaching beginners: the first thing the user sees and interacts with is Linux. In the 80s on a bubber key spectrum as far as I can recall it booted straight into a basic prompt / repl (or whatever the right term is). Even 8 year old me could start programming. Compare that to trying to get anywhere with Linux as a beginner.
In that case they would have been probably quick with a statement that there is no problem in their product, but blaming the customers for running unsupported versions.
I imagine you'd explain before recording what is going on (assuming you don't just fake the entire thing with some friends), rather than doing anything as silly as suing anybody. It wouldn't take more than a token amount to get people to participate. A lot of people wouldn't even want money. They'd get that this kind of blackmail is horrible and help you out.
They let me use them in deliberation, but took them at the end of the trial. The judge did specifically mention at some point that notes aren't the equivalent to a transcript.
Teltonika RMS Security Concerns
I'm setting up a Teltonika device for OOB access for a remote location. I wanted to go with Opengear but they don't have anything in stock for 14-16 weeks!

Anyways, Teltonika is a pretty nice product and their RMS central hub makes using the product even easier by allowing you to connect to their device at all times.

But there's one huge caveat for me. They allow the downloading of openvpn configs even after you create them and those configs contain all the keys in the clear, no passphrase required.

If someone were to hack their RMS app, they could essentially connect directly to all the internal networks of their customers by downloading these openvpn configs.

Am I right in being paranoid about this ? I suggested they stop storing what's essentially their customers' passwords in the clear or at least add a passphrase but they claim their security is top notch and I shouldn't be worried: about a third party having direct access to our internal network while they store all the vpn keys in the clear.

Am I paranoid here ?
IDK, my family was poor and had no concept of charity.

The first time I donated something was after a friend shared a social project they helped in LinkedIn. That was when I thought "hey, I'm kinda wealthy now, I probably could help.".

So, I understand where you are coming from, influencers and shit, but there's a real chance that by doing any charity publicly you might trigger others to do as well.
Symetric? Do you get 150 both ways?
Back when it was normal to buy a house and support a family on a single income? Nearly impossible now. Sounds like there are some serious flaws with that index.
> Yet the thieves can still somehow trade the metals.

It isn't hard to melt down the metals and extract the valuable ones. A proper factory can do a much better job (get more of the valuable metals out), but it is something I could profitably do in my backyard over a fire. I haven't looked into the details of refining platinum, but I doubt is is much different from any other metal. (when I looked into it I lived in an area with a lot of iron deposits, I've since moved and no longer have access to iron ore so that potential hobby is dead to me)

Once you have raw metals you can claim any source you want. Just form them into a ring and say you were saving it for your anniversary, but your wife left you - I'm sure you can come up with other ways to make it look like got a legal source.
The whole issue of JavaScript is that the standard library is worthless, so people have to write additions to keep yourself sane as a developer.
This makes it seem that there are 5 billion ways to do something, because there are.

Just use TypeScript, it will fix all the issues you have with the language itself. Typing + build time errors + import/export syntax. If you want to run some this in the browser, and don't use Vue or React, it will still require manual work to setup webpack + babel

I still hear this hypetrain argument a lot, but only on hacker news. This hypetrain you have been talking about is however not the case anymore. JavaScript + TypeScript have been stable for the last 3 to 5 years, the only big change in FrontEnd development was that people have been pivoting to server side rendering.

As a fullstack dev, the most hypetrain stuff I see is with infrastructure. Docker? Kubernetes? Terraform? Combined with 15 different ways to do the same thing in AWS but worse, no thank you.
taking something with the threat of force is not the same as owning something that you traded for in a mutually agreed upon transaction
The TLS certificate does explicitly say that it's valid for all of the names involved in the report:

DNS:n4.samba.org,
DNS:netfilter.samba.org,
DNS:news.samba.org,
DNS:rproxy.samba.org,
DNS:vger.samba.org

It feels like odd behavior but logically it makes sense to trust the authenticated info from the SSL certificate.

Personally to resolve all ambiguity I'd just use different certificates. Separation of concerns and all.

That's not what he's saying. This isn't for monitoring individual behavior but rather macro trends. We could, for example, provide precise real-time data on metrics like inflation so we could craft better policy faster.
Home affordability is same now only because now you have two incomes, and no one to raise the kids.
Most likely you specifically don't have much reason to care about Zig. Meanwhile, C can still often be found in areas where high performance and precise control over memory are important - such as in small embedded systems and game engine development - and Zig is a great fit as a replacement.

While you can technically use Rust in these domains you'll find yourself jumping through hoops and fighting against quirks that come with it being fairly high-level and very opinionated on how to enforce memory safety.

One such scenario I've encountered is implementing my own memcpy with a loop like `for i in 0..len`. This works in release builds, but without optimisations this gets a deeeeep callstack that eventually also calls memcpy, so you get a stack overflow. Note how memcpy is implemented in rlibc to avoid this issue:

Doesn't define the notion of a 'trait'. Most of the variables included in this analysis aren't traits in the psycho-social sense as an individual difference that's stable over time and situations.

And no treatment of the correlation among the variables. For instance, cognitive and education are almost certainly highly correlated.

> have you seen a lot of things modified in iOS lately?

There's an unpatchable bootrom exploit in all devices up to and including the iPhone X. But yes, I agree with your sentiment.

Though one thing to keep in mind: phones and tablets are content-consumption devices and they have historically been locked down for about as long as they existed. Computers are productivity devices. You may want to multi-boot 10 different operating systems for very practical reasons and no one should prevent you from doing that. Manufacturers understand this. Even the Apple M1 is capable of booting arbitrary, unsigned OSes, despite being a direct descendant of the same line of locked-down SoCs used in iPhones and iPads.
Mmm there's more to it than that, and simplifying it that way is just as much an error as blaming "big pharma."

The mental hospitals were horrific; unambiguous human rights violations were the norm and ubiquitous in them. The core of the deinstitutionalization movement was a legitimate reaction to that.

It's also true that rapid developments, and growing (over) confidence, in psychiatric medicines were a major part of presenting an alternative that people could generally accept.

And it fit well into the Reagony zeitgeist of the time, of removing large-scale institutions of social support. Deinstitutionalization was supposed to have two steps: first was to remove the large generalized asylums. The second was to be replacing them with smaller, community support-based, specialized institutions more aligned with the needs of the individuals.

Obviously the second never happened, and you can argue that it was never meaningfully intended to by the people with the power to do it. But it wasn't even mostly a "breakdown in trust" in general, and actually displays a level of trust in large-scale commitment to social efforts that we rarely see anymore.

It wasn't naiveté either, the institutions were genuinely horrific! They needed to be replaced with something, instead they were replaced with nothing. The fault is in the followthrough rather than the original impetus to deinstitutionalize.
No one is using crypto to facilitate legal payments in any meaningful volume. The only people who have something to lose is those who are using crypto to avoid government and regulations around AML and KYC or those getting wealthy in the ponzi.
Right now, most people in the US work for free 3-4 months out of the year via taxes. This is theft as well, but interestingly enough it has a smaller overhead then taxes, which nearly all of the funds are transferred to the 1%.

We live in a totalitarian state that's managed by corporations. In true American style, we outsource all of the things you just mentioned to the private sector, but they still very much happen just the same.

I've seen ambitious people that are also competent, and I have seen ambitious people that are are not very competent. It is hard to work with the latter kind. It's usually a lot easier to work with grumpy but competent people who actually have some realism. If they say something, it's worth listening.

In a working meritocratic organization, competence is recognized and rewarded. Competent people have a lot of projects that they can choose from. Competent people want to work in meritocratic organizations. They can switch jobs until they find one. Organizations with a lot of competence tend to do well. Owning stock for example then becomes quite profitable.

So maybe it's not all about ambition or climbing the ladder...

Having CRL/OCSP getting blocked on corporate networks is one of those things I have to commonly troubleshoot. You can get some weird timeouts and failures in applications that can be fun.

For example an internal app starts up fine and works, but then can't connect to github. Instead of showing cert errors, I've had ones show errors that make it appear that you may have a DNS problem or that the connection to github itself was broken.

I think the primary reason for this reaction is not just the inclination to be suspicious of virtue signaling when it's too obvious, but the fear of social pressure these public displays of charity might cause. We don't want to have to feel like we're forced to imitate.

That's totally fair but then we also complain all the time that media is only filled with negativity and despair. Let's be rational and appreciate public displays of good deeds for what they are, good. If some people use these as a distraction from mischievous deeds on the backside, that's an other matter.
My experience with SVG is that it renders great in all modern browsers, but Illustrator, Inkscape and other vector graphics editors don't support the latest SVG features.

What I Learned from Warren Buffett – Bill Gates (1996)
> home prices have been absolutely bonkers, with two massive bubbles (we are in one right now)

Isn't the definition of a bubble that it has the capability to pop and then eventually pops? At least for urban housing, I see no way of that even being remotely possible, neither for the US nor here in Europe. Rural areas simply are too far left behind to support decent human life - no high speed Internet, no public transport, no necessary infrastructure like doctors/pharmacies/grocery stores, no employment opportunities, schools closing down everywhere and that's just the short list of issues.

As a consequence, the rural flight can and will only accelerate - I see no way ever for politicians to approve the absurd amount of expenses for bringing rural areas back to speed, not with the aftermath of covid and the current Russian invasion having strained anyone's budgets to the limit.

There is nothing less charitable than threatening a charity. If that rider is true then he is a jerk. The only reason to do that is because he wants the charity to congratulate him, yet keep quiet. If he wanted to make an actual anonymous donation then he could do so though a shell company. But no, he wants them to see where the money is coming from so they can shake his hand and smile at him for his benevolence. Want to be actually anonymous: cash in an envelope in the donation bin.

In Austria, the situation is as follows: the employees of a company can decide to form a works council, which may or may not consist of Union members. To establish a works council, you need support statements of at least 5 employees. The works council itself is then elected by all employees of the company. They can choose between different candidates, who might be more or less union-friendly. The works council checks for violation of labor laws and is also consulted if employees are set off.
