I remember doing something similar to get ISP access in the early 90s. Like AOL various ISPs would be bundled into CDs/floppies and offer a free trial.

One of them did not validate the card number, so you could just type in 000000000000 or whatever and your free trial was enabled for a month or whatever and then be auto cancelled when they tried to bill for your first month after the trial. In the UK though local calls were not free and charged by the minute.

I think that ISP also bundled a <1.0 version of Netscape's Mozilla (0.8?) on their disk which was nice as otherwise I only had mosaic.

Good times.

Edit: I think the version of netscape/Mozilla was this one - I distinctly remember the "M" logo that would rotate as pages loaded slowly on a 14.4 modem: https://www.webdesignmuseum.org/uploaded/old-software/web-br....

Curious that it was called "mosaic netscape" - I don't remember that.

Sanctuary: Thousands gather to see Bedworth Covid memorial burned
To be fair, anyone sitting on the sidelines watching tech companies spend 15-20 years without making a profit - or ever making a profit - is going to start thinking "what the hell is going on"

More than watching tech go down, I think there's just a general anxiety that all basic business fundamentals have been turned upside down, and much of it is led by tech.

The markets are rallying right now because macro data is poor (which means Fed rate hikes might slow down). It's a bizarro economy and anyone who thinks long-term is understandably queasy.

I read not too long ago about things I didn't learn in school:

- Most cities in Japan had already been extensively fire-bombed
- The Japanese High Command were not shocked that atomic bombs could exist or that yet another city was obliterated
- The Japanese - Soviet war was also not going well for Japan. They would much rather surrender to the Americans than the Russians.

You are framing it as if a land invasion was inevitably the only other option. That's also impossible to surmise.

But we're not talking about percentage shares, we're talking about relative changes and budgets rose significantly over the past 50 years. The increase in federal spending in the USA stopped between 2005-2015, but "university" and "philanthropy" continued rising (same problems more or less), and of course spending in other countries continued to rise. Also the rise restarted:

https://www.science.org/content/article/massive-2021-us-spen...

"Small boost this year completes 4 years of substantial growth despite Trump ... NIH's budget now stands at $42.9 billion, a 33% rise over its 2016 level of $32.3 billion. Similarly, spending by DOE science tops $7 billion, compared with $5.4 billion in 2017, a boost of 30%. NASA science programs rose by 8% and 11% in 2018 and 2019, respectively, before slowing in 2020 and 2021. NSF's budget, now nearly $8.5 billion, has grown the least among the four biggest federal science agencies. But even so, a 14% rise since 2017 compares favorably with an overall increase of only 4% during the second term of former President Barack Obama."

So these are massive spending increases, regardless of what industry is doing.

There's something else we need to watch out for here. Corporate research isn't famous for its high production of papers, but the evidence that "science" in general is getting harder is based on paper-related metrics. It's possible that science hasn't really been getting harder, but that corporate R&D has been sucking the best science out of the academic realm into a place where fewer papers are published overall, so there's less to cite. The fact that the most cited paper of all time is an obscure biology paper and that pharma spending is such a large component of "basic science", is suggestive of this.
I feel like the principles used to argue this case are applicable elsewhere too, according to Wikipedia, it sounds like at least in England, Europe and South Africa have the concept of a "third-party beneficiary" to a contract:

fi
}

Dunno, but I can tell you how my family started as I think it's really interesting.

Yugoslavia was just falling apart - the entire country went from planned limited production to open market. My family was importing cars from other countries as this started. The demand was so great, that when the truck with cars stopped on a parking lot at his home, people would come running putting their "reserved" stickers on cars. Everyday he did a trip out of the country and back. "Sold" all cars before he had a chance to step outside a truck.

This lasted for sometime, giving him enough bankroll to open car dealership. Not sure how exactly it happened, but few years later it became Ford dealership and still is.

Mostly branding and some configuration (e.g. telemetry urls). This is similar to how Firefox used to be distributed (not sure how they do it now).

Blockchain technology cannot, and will not, have transaction reversal mechanisms

It's true that it'd be antithetical to their 'spirit', but smart contracts can most definitely support transaction reversal (they can support anything a Turing machine can, to be precise). The statement also seems to be based on the false assumption that banking transactions are universally reversible, which they are not. The public German lender KfW learned this the hard way, after accidentally sending €320m to already defunct Lehman Brothers, resulting in a loss of the full amount. Interbank settlement systems are generally final, and reversal relies on the good faith of the receiving party to initiate a new transaction to the effect of undoing the original, faulty one. If you have experienced 'reversed' transactions before, then you have the legal system to thank, not technology.

I'm all for being level-headed about blockchain technology, and it has enough flaws that the authors don't even touch upon (PoW impact, poor scalability,...). But what's the point of statements that are both objectively false and misleading?
I just installed the same version on my bike six weeks ago. For me the best thing is 100% reliable and fast front derailleur shifts. I’m pretty good at setting up a rear derailleur, but no matter how much I fiddled I could never get a cable-actuated front mech to shift into the big ring nicely. I would always get that annoying thing where it takes a second extra for the chain to catch on the big ring, or if I had it shifting nicely it would rub. Plus, since it’s just pressing a button with Di2, I can easily change into the big ring from the drops since I don’t need to push the whole lever sideways.

With Di2 I haven’t dropped a chain and it shifts instantly, just whzz and it’s ready, with the automatic down shift at the back too. The auto-trim feature is great too, no rubbing at all.

Honestly I don’t have a bad thing to say about Di2 at all, I’m far from a competent mechanic and between my group set arriving through the door and taking it for a first ride it took me about two hours to install everything. Just to change the cables previously would take me an hour of fiddling around with magnets to try and get them routed through the frame.
> Why is this exactly newsworthy? Any communication through official channels is the property of the employer anyway.

Is this sentence meant descriptive or normative? Because there are definitely juristrictions where it is not that easy (e.g EU).

If it is meant normative then I wonder if you also think they "own" all conversations happening on corporate ground? Should they be allowed to record anywhere on corporate property, and use what they record in any way?
Some people are just so ahead of the average. I thought I was pretty good knowing the basics of Rails/Databases at that age, but I was no where near the level of writing coherent posts on languages.
There is a very mid-20th-century idea that work, as in going to a certain place, doing something mildly productive for 8 hours, and getting money at the end of the month, is a good thing, and although this is practically dead, the idea is still alive in many people's heads. I took a leave for three months last summer, to wind down after the stress of the pandemic, and friends and family were part surprised, part frightened ("Doesn't he want to work anymore?") and part anxious that I wouldn't find a new job. Working regularly again since a couple of months, and I'm looking forward to saving enough money to have another long holiday.

At Exnaton, we build software for renewable energy communities and energy sharing. Our software processes energy data from smart meters in households and does high resolution tariffing and billing of energy flows. We sell it in a SaaS model to utility companies, so they can offer their customers attractive products around distributed renewable energy generation. We are a seed stage company, spun off of ETH Zurich, are currently a team of 12, and have raised our first funding round with Global Founders Capital.

We operate a stack with a backend built in a strict micro-services pattern with polyglot services written in Python and TypeScript. Technologies are chosen to fit the purpose (e.g. time series, relational, no-sql databases). All deployments rely on Helm and run on platform-agnostic Kubernetes clusters. Our frontend is a Vue SPA (TypeScript) with a continuously extending feature set.

If you're motivated to work with latest technologies, but in a really impactful sector and not just some unnecessary e-commerce or the next faster food delivery, you are the right fit for us

The short answer is, I have absolutely no idea. And that excites me.

The way I see it is I can slave away at a job I hate to barely afford the things I need to live and be miserable, or I can do away with all of that and still face the same level of uncertainty and miserableness. Might as well make it a bit easier on myself in the process.
Rule of 5 was a C++11 thing, maybe even mainly a C++03 thing.

Your complaints about C++ have aged badly. C++20 is not the same language as C++11, which was not the same language as C++03.

Rust's complexity is rapidly approaching C++'s. In 5 years, if Rust hasn't fizzled, it will get there. Only being used to it will make it seem any simpler.
With Di2 it kind of does the same thing, when your battery is getting low the front derailleur will stop working. Not sure how many shifts that leaves you at the back though so you might still be in trouble if you’re far from home.

And a political crisis, a lot of people who build things with their hands and that have been "deplorables" for the last few years would start earning a lot of money and becoming much more important. And a lot of people that live in certain cities and hold certain jobs would lose a lot of weight in society. We all saw how bad things got in Canada with the trucker protests, things would be more volatile politically if there was a higher percentage of jobs in the economy that held the same kind of disruptive power as the truckers.
This is because the NZ answer was to use a regular land line, and dial extra numbers on the end, the exchange would work, but their billing system would throw out the call, giving it to you for free.
Given up on work? A lot of these people are barred from work. Its just demonisation of the group who refused to kneel and take those mandatory and sloppy injections. Mega corps and governments want to play God.
You can't do RCTs on something as common as coffee consumption.

What you can do is mendelian randomization studies. There are genes which influence bitter taste which seem like obvious candidates: If coffee tastes like pure quinine to you, you're probably drinking less of it than you otherwise would.

A quick search shows that there have been M.R. studies on coffee, and they do suggest the relationships between coffee drinking and various good health outcomes aren't causal, just like the ones on alcohol. At this point, we should be suspicious of any "U-shaped" effect curves of extremely common and popular habits.
I'm not saying you're wrong but a) this sounds like a massive safety issue and b) this sounds like exactly the sort of thing I'd say to anyone trying to get a dodgy phone card from me, "yeah you need to wedge your foot in the door in case it detects the card is hooky, and tries to lock you in" just so I could stand there and laugh at their contortions trying to keep one foot outside while they use the phone.

When a field is young, it is simpler to make important discoveries, so in that sense, science is (obviously) getting harder.

But most of the graphs can be explained by the sheer number of papers being published.

Academics have the perverse incentive to publish as many papers as possible, instead of discovering as many interesting things as possible, because items published is way easier to measure than real progress made.

Therefore there is a significant paper inflation problem. People might today write 10 papers with LPUs (least publishable unit) with stuff that would have been a single technical report 30 years back.

This is much worse than it sounds, because it affects productivity significantly in subtle ways: it takes effort to publish those 10 papers, it takes effort to read up and review the 10x papers of others, and it takes time to think about LPUs instead of concentrating on the bigger picture.

Unfortunately, due to the way the research system is set up, it is not likely things will improve.
A bunch of the plugins. The C/C++, Python, and Remote Development plugins are all closed source, IIRC.
It looks like you knee-jerked pretty hard at that line, because they didn't say anything at all about their purchasing behavior being typical. They just said the QC was good on the cars they got.

And in general the issues I heard about were from-the-factory issues, so only having the cars for 1-2 years each wouldn't matter much.
It's not mentioned in the article, or I haven't seen it but Italy has introduced universal basic income for unemployed few years back.

This is seen as one of the major changes.

With the average net salary in Italy being around 1500€s per month, 800 is enough to get by, especially in the south where cost of living is much lower.

All low income or seasonal jobs now are just skipped by the recipients of the basic income, for two reasons:

1) there is no point anymore going to work for a salary that isn't significantly better.

2) in case they lose the job they will also not qualify for basic income for some time as well. So they don't take jobs to avoid losing the basic income.

I don't know what to think about it, I most definitely oppose basic income as it is. No point into having a basic income if you don't have a system that tries to lift people from it and put them in the job market.

So when they stop making battery packs for your e-bike, it's a giant paperweight.

I would assume, just as Mitch Hedberg noted about escalators can never break they just become stairs, an ebike just becomes a "bike" without the battery. In fact, I thought that's one of the selling points?
I did that for a while. Word of caution: there's a point where you run out of savings and you hit bottom hard. Not wanting to work is one thing, but not wanting to work when you're without savings is much harder. Existential dread plus financial dread just plain sucks.

But it sounds like you have a lot in savings so maybe it won't be an issue?

In Germany you can get a small apartment paid for by the government if you're unemployed. I'm guessing OP was comparing working to rent a nice apartment vs. living on government support somewhere in the middle of nowhere. I mean Utah also has cheap homes (but no jobs) whereas California has great jobs (but no cheap homes).

If interoperability was marketed as a feature at the moment you bought the product then in my understanding in Europe one could (try to) annul the agreement. Features are an integral part of the buying agreement. That still wouldn't hurt Shimano directly, since the annulment is with the shop. However, with these being 5k+ bikes, dealers would pretty soon start complaining to Shimano.

Is rusts most loved status simply Stockholm syndrome? I've really tried with rust, and we simply don't get on. I hear all the arguments about CVEs and wonder if rust will reduce the number of these problems simply by disabling the programmers that create them.

The soviet union certainly did. It's a tenable position if you have the world view that knowledge of "how" is not natural property.

They stole ideas frescale pre and during and postwar. Design for chemical processes, carbon copied the b29, you name it.

Richard Rhodes books on the bombs discusses this. Innovation was more risky for a soviet scientist than cloning stolen IPR.

A lot of people think IPR and patents give less than they take, nett. Who knows? If I'd been alive then, I might have done the same.

A true funny story: my dad was a CPGB member until the 50s. His research project was shut down and he offered his IPR to the soviets as a good party member should. They refused to take it over the counter, he was made to do a clandestine handover in a park in London. Totally bizarre, it's his papers and designs, his to give freely but they insisted it was done in secret.
