They'll put it in an "updated terms of service" dialog. People always just accept updated terms of service just like they always just accept the initial terms of service
„totaly off limits“ was a bit over the top.
Its only my personal perception. I travel a lot in europa and read different papers.. etc. Based on that whas my argument. And that is a personal opinion so not realy valid
Good, people are waking up to the reality of what life is like when corporations know much more about you than you know about them.

I understand that peoples’ time is limited but I still suggest to people I know to read the Surveillance Capitalism and Power of Privacy books.
I wouldn't even pick up the phone. I absolutely hate this "just call them" thing I keep seeing here. No, thank you. Talk to me online or not at all.

That is the definition of dedication actively peddled in corporate culture. But of course, the best professionals are the ones who are dedicated to their profession, not to one company - especially one that throws hurdles in the way of their productivity and well being. Endorsing that narrative doesn't achieve anything other than enriching some insanely rich people. It's just exploitative.
Oh that brings back some painful memories, hilarious though, and some of them are surprisingly good! (and some are just horrific). The most clear memory I have from those days is that during one of the lessons one of the violin teachers dogs keeled over and died. I think she blamed me for that...

It also makes me wonder if I would be able to get any sound out of a violin today.
"Always fresh" is accurate because they brew fresh coffee every 20 minutes, and the baked goods are baked fresh every day (from frozen dough), then filled and frosted. I don't see the problem, personally.
I don't think patents were designed to create monopolies so much as they were created to incentive research. It sucks to go through a lot of expensive R&D that leads to a simple implementation if other people can just copy that and enjoy a huge second mover advantage.

Don't get me wrong, the end effect of patents has been nightmarish (I think mainly because the courts are so out of touch with technology). But I don't think the actual intent behind them is necessary evil or anticompetitive.
Just noting that I have interest in multiplayer support similar to Factorio or Satisfactory where players work towards a common goal, and also have purchased with that not being a feature per the road map. These types of games make for good time passers while conversating with distant friends.
You're right that the speed of light remains a constant limitation on propagation delay, but the defining limitation on the speed of computation is rather the clock speed - how long it takes for each round of computation. Electrons are comparatively slow due to the time it takes to fill and stabilize a transistor. Our hypothetical new type of computer will have to be faster to converge, rather than faster to propagate.

You're right about the bit flips though. I don't know if a gravitational wave computer is actually ever going to be feasible, just an interesting dream for the far future. Hopefully there are more options to consider in the meantime :).

Question if you see this: the posting you linked to (and other Rivian positions I've seen) makes no mention of Remote, but your posting does. .. Is Rivian doing remote? Long-term? In the past I have seen other positions that potentially interested me (I think they were in Vancouver) but did not apply because I cannot relocate right now.
Never mind one-person crews; why don't we have zero-person crews? In most cases the crew are just responding to signals anyway; trains accelerate slowly enough that it's very rare that train crew can see a problem in time to do anything about it anyway.
per linked 'report of findings' this is from the radar sdk?

> Once a User granted the App permission to access their device’s native location functionality (based on GPS), the SDK began, based on TDL’s configuration of the App and subject to certain limitations outlined in further detail in paragraph 26, collecting the User’s granular location data (“Radar Location Data”), including precise longitude and latitude coordinates, and forwarding that information to Radar’s servers to be processed for Tim Hortons – thereby tracking the User’s device location

have never used radar sdk, wonder if this is the default config or it has to be enabled
World readable is not the default. You get scary warnings when you do it and you can set it up on the account and the organization level to block it. There is no “click a button to make it world readable”. You have to know the JSON policy.

I'm working in a dysfunctional team for several months now, every one wants to solve problems his way. Waiting for my contract to finish to hit the door. Bought a farm lately where I spend my free time and money. This brings me back to sanity every week-end. Nature heals, you just need to visit her often.
> IF anything, Inflation decreases the cost of the mortgage for those who own homes because they are a fixed dollar amount

That’s only if you saw a salary increase. Lots of people have seen salary increases, but that happened mostly in the lower income brackets. At the 250k+ level, you got an increase only if you switched jobs.
I think the idea of fertilization is that "depleted" farm land may be rejuvenated - which seems to be working. Can you expound on how we are (irreversibly) over-utilizing land?
-
The article appears to me to be good news: we are more efficiently utilizing land, so a smaller area may sustain a larger (human) population. Fewer acres of indigenous flora need be displaced. No doubt that such displacement is not without impact, but short of reducing human population, efficient use of the resources we take over seems desirable.
out of curiosity, why was it hard to onboard the team to Dagster?
I realize this is a joke, but it isn't! Play a video of a ball flying up and then back down again and it'll be the same forward or backwards (up to air friction anyway).
> I wonder what the next "internet" will be

This is the third Network, so if it helps you to draw a line:

The first Network was what is now called the Universal Postal Union created by the Treaty of Bern. It moves written text in the form of letters, on pieces of paper, in envelopes. The Treaty says OK, how about if everybody can just put their own local stamps on letters, and write any address in the world, we all agree to move the letters to the address and we can pay for that work with the local stamps we sold, it's simpler and on average it works out fine.

Before this, to send a letter from say, Nottingham to Leipzig, you must wrap each letter in another letter explaining to an intermediary how to get it to its destination, or to the next intermediary (e.g. Portsmouth, Le Havre, Strasbourg), each with suitable stamps for the local postal system. This is both time-consuming, expensive and fragile.

The second Network was the Public Switched Telephone Network. This was formed by connecting local telephone networks around the globe together, and using switches (eventually digital switches) so that circuits could be created by the end user rather than needing a human operator who worked for the phone company to make the circuit connecting your call. With the PSTN you could (for a fee) talk to people on distant parts of the planet almost instantly.

The third Network improves on the second by being designed for moving arbitrary data (bits) rather than voices and more importantly by being packet oriented rather than circuit switched.

If you see something claiming to be the "next Internet" and it isn't at least as radical an improvement as IP was over the PSTN, then it's lying to you.

My guess is if a fourth Network happens, it would move physical material of some sort, like the first Network did, but digitally - which is currently impossible but is perhaps a technology that could some day be invented. Such a technology would be able to obsolete some of the things we can't use this Network for today.
It seems to have worked well, or someone did a quota check. The disk is full.

GL out there! :)
yeah seems odd this gets a second chance ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I did the original version in a JSON backed file but I don't really want to go back to that.

It is not unreasonable to store the sqlite database in a git repo: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5435079/1507139.

I'm not yet sure what the right long-term solution is.
I was thinking of the Pinski-Narin method, but there are other earlier uses of eigenvector calculations over very similar data: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1002.2858.pdf
firstly musk doesn't live a lavish life (not that this really matters towards my original point that being a billionaire doesn't mean you suck) for the past couple of years he's been living in a ~50k house in south texas.

Back to my point, if you had the hypothetical painting you could take out a collateralized loan but you still couldn't give away your money to reduce your net worth or else you'd default on your loan - so the point still stands, you'd be a billionaire and I would argue there's nothing wrong with you being a billionaire....as to whether musk can liquidate and reduce his networth - why? Did anything meaningful change in the world when he liquidated 10 billion? To that point he did it so that he could become the individual who paid the most taxes in history and that changed basically nothing with the federal balance...in fact if you used 100% of every billionaires net worth in the US and put that towards taxes you wouldn't be able to even run the federal government for a full year on that budget - much closer to 6 months.

To clarify once more - I'm saying being a billionaire doesn't mean you suck. You absolutely don't have to do anything evil to become a billionaire. The system which allows for the creation of billionaires is broken, I'm sure we agree, but it isn't musks fault that wallstreet has been allowed to create complex abstract financial devices that seemingly have done nothing but created more wealth inequality. Musk certainly benefited from these financial instruments, but you can't default to suggesting he did anything evil just because he benefited from it. In the same way that someone can value your painting at 1 billion without your input, many people have valued his company at many billions of dollars without his input. He did nothing but create a valuable company, which is the opposite of evil.
Also, there is evidence that there might be some hidden meta-language on humans as well from studies on how bilingual people/polyglots speak, code-switch, translate, etc.
No, you wouldn't call me because I wouldn't pick up the phone. Real-time chat is fine.
I just returned from the bank. Turns out the restriction was not related to the email address.
I wholeheartedly agree here. In addition, IRC seemed more like a reflection of real life given the "synchronous design". Such as:

> so even if you see a conversation from a few hours ago, you can't participate in it.

Mirrored the limitations one would have in-person (i.e., they might have heard about the conversation, but now cannot participate in it, notably because it already occurred and all the same people may not be available -- you would have to start anew!)

Another interesting component of IRC is the explicit nature of people joining a channel -- it was treated the same way someone walked into a physical room; People would greet them and numerous conversations would naturally begin just by the essence of that presence. This is all mostly lost in modern clients.
Pretty much.

On that note, I wonder if a pair of wide angle cameras could be used to create a reasonably convincing three-dimensional live stream via FaceTime. With VR glasses, participants in the call would be able to see each others surroundings in 3D space.

This sounds more immersive, and less goofy than the metaverse. It also seems like a feature that Apple could reasonably deliver with their rumoured glasses.
I didn’t say Apple was cool. I said Mac users were. In fact, I’d posit anyone using a Unix based operating system is inherently cool.
The situation is exactly opposite, allow me to clarify. I didn't start the conversation, so I'm the one being "intruded". Yet I reply. And we keep replying to each other in near real-time:

Peter: Hey
Me: Hey
Peter: Sally called, we need to do that thing.
Me: What thing?
Peter: It's in the document.
Me: Which one?
Peter: In your mail
Me: Found it. Question about document
Peter: Partial answer
Me: What about rest of answer
Peter: Don't know

Now imagine that dear Peter takes 2 minutes between every single reply. Demanding my full attention for an enormous stretch of time as he himself (that wants something from me) for whichever reason is slow, distracted.

It's Peter being rude here. The equivalent would be calling somebody and then leaving them waiting. You're the one that called. If you want my attention, put in your attention.

Fuck your printer too.

Not an alternative, but if you want to get a feel for Kubernetes and managing various kinds of servers, check out KubeSail and their options for K8s/K3s

It's ridiculous overkill, but I'm looking at a NextCloud server on one of their PiBox hardware servers for the house. (You don't need a PiBox - their stuff will run fine on little instances from AWS/DigitalOcean/Hertzner, etc., or a spare PC you have lying around...)
This feels like bad faith research.

Some of the whale dialogue is clearly transcribable, but he regenerates it again until he gets "Evve waeles" and answers that resemble "Wales".
Its called "soft touch" plastic. Have a google search. To me, its almost like a crossover between suede and velvet. Very odd feel. I have a book about the design of the apollo era moon suits which is coated in a version of this over kaptan: the book dust jacket is both indestructible, and feels very sexy-odd. I almost can't pick the book up!

Half the hand weights at my pilates gym are coated this way. Some people prefer them, feel more "grippy" but harder to clean afterward than the shiny ones.

the problem you identify is the behaviour of the "plasticiser", perhaps (I am a non chemist but as I understand it) a specific component of the plastics design process, which takes a long chain polymer and makes it flexible rather than rigid. Its a physical mixture as much as a stable reaction outcome: its reversible in temperature and UV exposure achievable in ordinary life. Rigid plastics (urea formaldehyde?) degrade to a powdery surface over rigid form and become brittle. Soft plastics degrade by re-liquifying. Some nylon-like fabrics (Tents, rucksack straps) turn to dust.

In some cases, this thing comes out of "solution" and you get a really repellent outcome: The feet of a 1980s era modem I had, were soft plastic pads glued onto a steel chassis and they re-liquified into a black tarry mess.

My son's baby shoes, the first pair, the ones we kept, in a box, high in the linen cupboard? heat degraded the plasticiser and the soles turned back into little balls of plastic in a goopy blue honey-sticky mess.
I suspect she may be also positioning herself for a possible run at US President, if Biden retires in 2024 and Kamala Harris doesn't work out. She came to Facebook from DC, and now may be aiming to return there.
> But just fyi that your comment is pretty rude

You really tried to ask me whether the reason I wasn't a fan of him was because marketing made me so after I said really why; questioned whether I was "the victim of marketing;" instructed me that the reason for my not liking who you like is the internet telling me not to; instructed me two separate times in a single message about how to be charitable (by agreeing with you, and with nothing to do with actual charity;) then recoiled when I said "stop fanboying at me," as if I was the rude one, and chose to lecture me at length about the spirit of the site and how rude I am, for not wanting to be told that my opinions are based rather than what I said actually on marketing by someone who can't tell me my first name or whether I wear glasses

In reality, it's for the reasons I said before you argued with me about my beliefs and identity, then called me rude when I reacted by not couching up to you and learning about myself from you

I think you really honestly can't see it

Please stop now. Third time in a row that I've asked. Thanks.
I have never understood why people adopted graphql.

Despite years of asking people to explain its use, any example cases given can always be resolved with regular old http/REST style apis.

You still have to write sql queries to back your graphql calls anyway, so why are we spending extra obfuscation and effort instead of just getting the work done.

Facebook has so corrupted the engineering environment over the years that if a company recruiter contacts me and I find they're using any FB tech other than React, it's an instant no. I've walked over that luau bbq pit enough. React only gets the pass because it's not specifically bad tech, and it's too ubiquitous.
Taxation is theft. That's a fact. In some circumstances that's a necessary evil. However that does not make it always proper to do. You're looking for a way to strawman this instead of addressing the argument.

There is little done in modern academics that legitimately drives innovation. Only select institutions, with significant ties to private industry, generate papers and innovation. Largely these are still already done in R&D at a company somewhere.

Public funding for education that works is effectively subsidizing costs for private industry. Public funding that doesnt work is incompetence that benefits no one other then government employees, and that makes it equal to theft.

Therefore, we remove the subsidy, and students that are worth investing in will be paid for by the billions that companies have sitting around collecting dust.
It reminds me of what we got from Hilary Clinton in 2016.

Whatever you think of the Clintons, the photos by the articles on the Fox News website or the New York post didn't show a human being.

It'd be an art gallery of photographic stills, to destroy someone's humanity.

A 1/100 second exposure, frozen in time, can make someone resemble something they're not.
Slightly tangential, but along these lines, I was always very moved by this piece.
