This is a classic example of wrong Critical Thinking. Let me write out the "proof" for you;

1) You have one anecdata from a person who IS NOT hiding behind anonymity. You have another anecdata from a person who IS hiding behind anonymity. Therefore Person 2's claims cannot be taken on faith.

2) The topic under discussion is part of Person 1's culture and hence he is familiar with all its nuances. Person 2 has no knowledge of the subject or at best a cursory knowledge from tabloids and not from any authentic sources. Therefore Person 2 cannot claim equal relevance with Person 1's knowledge.

3) Person 1 has lived and worked across both his and Person 2's cultures for a significant period of time. Thus he is familiar with thought processes of both sides w.r.t. the topic under discussion. Person 2 does not have any such experience. Thus Person 2's "claims" do not have the same weight as Person 1's.

QED.
Many years ago in my South American country, I had to deal with 2000% inflation in 1 year. It is absolutely devastating for most people, but the top 10% in income had easy access to special investment instruments allowing them to lose nothing and even profit from the inflation. Does Turkey have anything like that?

Actually it does work with Spotify, and pretty well in my experience. I guess Apple are wary of antitrust rules.
> I assume that these pro-guns-in-school states will be requiring teachers to buy their own guns, pay for their own training, etc.

The article already says they will receive training gratis.

> There have already been numerous cases of teachers and "school resource"/police officers beating kids, I'm sure adding a gun won't go wrong.

What prevents them from having a gun now, other than a sign?

> an AR-15 is not a self defence weapon - they could make a huge profit from wannabe Rambos.

It is used defensively thousands of times per year, disproportionally more than used for offensive tasks.

> I don't care if a weapon is fully- or semi- automatic, it's automatic.

You may think so, but it doesn't make it true. They're different technologies, and one is already restricted.

> The purpose of an AR-15 is to kill people.

Indeed, and when bad people want to do bad things, good people should be empowered with the same tools to resist them.

> The "Semi" automatic mode fires at 45 rounds a minute, which is more than needed for self defense or hunting (unless you suck at it).

The 2nd Amendment is neither for self-defense nor for hunting, to assume so is to be ignorant of America's history with firearms and rebellion.

At least science is caught up now on what anime artists have known for 100 years.
> The NGO CeMAS monitors 3,000 German-language channels & groups for "disinformation, antisemitism, and right-wing extremism."

So groups and channels that were already public in the first case... No private chat data, no backdoors? I'm fine with that.
These days, any popular messaging app that won't cooperate with local law (by choice or by design in case of e2e) would just be banned/ removed from stores in Germany or most other countries.

I find those diagrams a lot more confusing than just reading and having a mental model of the code.
First line of article is false:

> Key Points - Turkey’s inflation for the month of May rose by an eye-watering 73.5% year on year,

by should be to, if the headline and rest of article is true.
I went down this rabbit hole a little. It does seem like the specific formulation of AKG may matter. The commonly available supplements are L-Orthinine Alpha-Ketogluterate (OKG) and Arginine-Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AAKG).

The study in question used Calcium Alpha-Ketoglutarate (CAAKG).

There are a few sellers of CAAKG, but it is an order of magnitude more expensive than the others. (~$1.50/gram for CAAKG vs ~$.08/gram for OKG and ~$.05/gram for AAKG)

There have been studies in the past (for non-aging conditions) that have demonstrated a difference between OKG and AAKG, so it's reasonable to assume there may be a difference between CAAKG and the others as well. Without a study, who knows.

Also as other commenters have mentioned, the only evidence so far for aging related benefits is in mice. Of the human trial studies I could find for OKG use, it does seem like there were no reported side effects, so it might not hurt you, but it also might not do anything for you.
Last time I visited Turkey 25 yesrs ago the Lira was basically counted in millions. I remember exchanging some beer money and getting stacks of freshly printed 10k bills. I assume that was also after a period of massive inflation in the 80s or 90s? Some time after that they must have redefined their currency and dropped a few zeros. Have there been any other similar periods in between or has it been a pretty stable 2 decades? Are the causes similar this time? External shock and some misguided voodoo macroeconomics?
Raising interest rates just makes things worse. You’re paying people more money which they then spend to keep up with the prices.

Interest/price spirals work in the same way as wage/price spirals

https://new-wayland.com/blog/interest-price-spiral/

Turkey is suffering from a collapse in their terms of trade. They need to stop luxury imports to make room for food and fuel. And they need to put firms with foreign borrowings through administration to get rid of the foreign debt.

Ultimately though government needs to cut its spending because its capacity to tax is probably at the social limit the society can stand.

It’s a mess, but neoliberalism won’t help.

Custom silicon for what? AI training sure but what else? Most workloads outside that domain are fine with cheap ARM SoCs. Just call everything ‘compute units’ and deliver SDKs for common envs to package and deploy. No need to inform what you are running on.

It is not just money, but liberation of creative people from the bureaucracy and limitations that come with the public grant system.

AFAIK the professors in Altos Labs get a million dollars yearly salary and they are free to dig into whatever matter they find interesting, as long as it is somehow related to biology of aging, rejuvenation, regeneration etc. No need to stay within relatively narrow limits of an approved research topic and produce X papers in a year.
You use macOS, which deliberately tries to kill off apps that do not come through the app store (i.e. apps that Apple doesn't get a cut off of)
Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mean German technology is bad. Quite the opposite.

But trying to sell cloud infra technology in Europe saying “Made in Germany” simply it will not work. It sounds ridiculous, moreover when the parent company flagship brand (Lidl) means “low cost low quality for Eastern European immigrants”. It sounds so bizarre and out of context that I’m starting to hear about Lidl Cloud jokes around me.
>These streaming platforms are so bad. We had better software in the 90s and 00s.

You are sitting in a chair in the sky.

I can play any music I want right now for a £10/month fee. In the 90s I was buying CDs with five good songs and five filler for £15. In the 2000s I was finding stuff that I could pirate, downloading it, and playing it on my beige desktop computer because there was no such thing as a smartphone.
Grim Fandango was such a beautiful game. I played it when it came out in the 90s and was just incredibly impressed by how artful it was.
Does Not Commute is an absolute stitch. The story is often overlooked as the game mechanic is fairly novel as well. One of my favorite mobile games of all time.

If you have a fast, repeatable automated test that triggers the behavior you want to debug, then just about everything a debugger can do can be accomplished more easily by injecting code and re-running the test.
https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2021/12/a-deep-dive-i... is the only case in the past few years that I'm aware of where a PDF vulnerability was actually exploited before it was widely patched, and that was a highly targeted attack.

https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=adobe+reade... shows 4 potentially exploitable vulnerabilities + 1 that lets the attacker check if a file exists.

I couldn't find any semi-recent ones affecting Firefox' PDF.js.
>The entire Lidl group made €57bn last year. Just AWS made about $62bn, so pretty much the same thing.

While you have a point in general, I have no idea from where you got your numbers...

Lidl had revenue of 100.8bn EUR (~108bn USD) in 2021, the entire Schwarz Group of 133.6bn EUR [0].

>How much is Lidl actually investing in this?

Nitpicking, but Lidl isn't, Schwarz Group is. I suppose how much they will invest is a matter of how promising it will look. Remember that amazon started out selling books. ;)

I genuinely think that Schwarz Group has a real chance to become a player in the long run, at least in Europe, if they really try. If it happens, it will not happen quickly. But they seem to have the "company culture" to make it happen, the deep pockets to make it happen, the political connections too. They are however a new player in this "IT thing". They might as well end up scraping the idea again, or be content on just being a datacenter provider for colo for other EU deep pockets instead of offering the full range of AWS services.

Hetzner is the AWS of Germany already.

Good luck breaking into this space with the "Call for pricing" mentality mentioned in the comments.

Seems like someone asked the same question just 3 days ago. Here is the discussion if you're interested: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31569646
Thanks for the post.

Reading this made me quite angry - politicians here in Germany always talk out of their asses about improving the situation for startups, but when it comes to removing these ridiculous administrative hurdles, absolutely nothing happens.

In Austria, where I live, it's even worse. It's not even possible to start a limited liability company without at least 35k starting capital in the bank.
Anytime someone mentions a table of songs it makes me miss Rdio even more. Their UI was almost perfect for how I listened to music.
I feel like I have such a disconnect from most others with these services.

I tried out Pandora one night when it first came out while I was in college in 2004/2005. Then it was “someone made an algorithm that can pick music for you!” After about 15 minutes I lost interest “Hm that’s neat, I’m good though I know what I like”

Fast forward 17 years and you have these multibillion dollar companies everyone loves and hates, controversies. I never saw the appeal in the first place.

All cartels exist mainly to the benefit of the insiders. I don't see why crypto should be inherently more prone to scams (after all, the use of funds on the blockchain is actually fairly transparent). Most instruments that are now considered traditional were at some point in their history ripe with questionable behavior (modern banking was arguably born when depositories ran out of gold and comforted customers with paper bills - funnily enough, that was also enabled by new bookkeeping/ledger methodologies). The antidote is sensible regulation, not demonisation.
Effective altruism is only effective if you also give altruism to yourself.
Why can't the described use case solved with some trivial database with digital signatures? Which is essentially sort of blockchain, just simpler. However, with or without blockchain you still need an authority that would say: "this is the legitimate blockchain, that one is not".
I played through "Forest's Secret" by bynine which is a non-violent game, reminiscent of classic adventure games.
As a fun fact, you can also run:

$ systemctl --user enable --now podman.socket
$ export DOCKER_HOST=unix:///run/user/$UID/podman/podman.sock

and get a rootless, Docker-compatible socket. If you're running, e.g., a test suite written against the Go Moby APIs, this will execute the containers with Podman rather than with the system daemon.
> blows. Docker desktop blows more. Docker desktop on Windows blows the most.

I see your "Docker blows on Windows" and raise you "Docker blows on M1." At least you have WSL, Apple couldn't give half a fuck (and nor could Docker). Colima has been a lifesaver, but having used WSL Docker in the past and Linux Docker recently (I now favor Podman), M1 Docker is a complete shitshow. I'm slowly infesting our codebase with Podman/Buildah/Skopeo (also because they do things Docker can't), and hopefully we'll get to the point of using podman machine.
Germany weaponises data privacy and uses it to lock out foreign competitors.

Streaming has sacrificed so much at the altar of "discovery". Sometimes you want discovery and sometimes you don't. More and more, I'm finding I don't care about discovery and just want to listen to my music. If it's a choice between my old late-2000s era iPod loaded with my carefully curated list of albums and streaming services which are optimized for "discovery" and "engagement" and require the network to be online, I pick the iPod any day of the week.

Other people like streaming, and want The Algorithm to feed them discovery, and that's fine--it's just not for me.

Hi, author here! I think you're right that some things in the article are a bit wrong, I seem to have used inaccurate wording about the actual complexity, and I think I also failed to differentiate between the NFA and DFA cases (which I wanted to do a bit for simplicity, but it seems I overdid it). I'll be looking over the details more carefully and updating the wording. Thank you for your comment! :)
This was my pain point regarding 'making the leap to VIM'. I wanted something that was easily installable and reproducible. with PyCharm I can download a software and that's it. With VSCode, if I wanna develop in Rust, I install rust-analyzer with 2 clicks and that's it. Coc-nvim has always been a world of hurt that has been putting me off the 'vim-ide' train for quite a while.

Thank you for informing me about things like 'lunarvim'. I'm gonna check it out now!
No? Why would I?
Lol, no, unless you consider an MMO to be the metaverse.

No need to argue with a straw man, I’m not saying they should invest in software quality for altruistic or philosophical purposes.

Apple Music is a paid subscription service. Maybe they can coast on the momentum of their preinstalls and make some money, like you said.

But I’d argue, as someone who has used both apple music and Spotify in the past, that Apple is leaving money on the table by having a shoddy software component to their music service. When a superior service is equally priced and just a few taps away, they will certainly lose some percentage of paying customers.
I won't touch Apple* anything with a stick, but that had me laughing:

Here are some suggestions for Apple to improve Apple Music on macOS:

Fix the bugs, and make navigation fast!

I am going to start working for one of those German cloud providers (not Schwarz Group) next month.
As far as I understand so far, the barrier-to-entry is actually a feature.

Those providers usually strictly target the B2B sector, with a focus on small to medium companies which only now start to do "digitalization". They usually still run with old-fashioned IT departments and certainly no budget to hire a full DevOps department with experienced senior developers.

For that reason, the German providers usually don't focus on scale and automation as the support burden is rather high. Hosting in Germany, and being compliant by default with many data protection rules is a big plus for inexperienced customers. But I imagine, this also leads to high customer retention due to de-facto lock-in.

Note that the article says that they are using a "proprietary" cloud platform. In my experience, in Germany "Cloud" is still a very ill-defined marketing term. It might well be possible that the "Cloud" just means that you can use a WYSIWYG interface to provision Linux VM templates (see for example the IONOS "Data Center Designer").

I had to look at the "Stackit" homepage itself to confirm that they are indeed hosting a Kubernetes based PaaS. But they indeed seem to focus on dynamic VM-Hosting and even colocation. They even mention SAP hosting!

In the past, United Internet, Deutsche Telekom and some others had a hosted e-mail offering branded as "Internet made in Germany" for similar reasons.

Another company of the "Internet made in Germany" group is Strato. They started with website and shop builders, and now make a lot of money essentially offering hosted Owncloud/Seafile services. Usually those are also marketed as a "Cloud" offering.

For folks on Windows/Linux that want to use Apple Music but not the web player, try Cider (https://github.com/ciderapp/Cider).

Yes, it is Electron but Apple did use webviews in their macOS AM app as well before they switched back to native earlier this year; which still isn't that great.

Ironically, Cider works better than the Apple's web app as well; it doesn't skip or get stuck once in a while. It just works for what I need.

(In case other asks, Windows/Linux is more of a work/secondary platform, and iPhone is the main device most of the time. That's why I'd use Apple Music despite having the other platforms).
I think Limbo might fit the bill (albeit you "fight" a monster in it. Maybe give the trailer a look). It's about 3 hours of beautiful gameplay, nonetheless.
Spiritfarer. You play a character ferrying spirits around the afterlife, building up your boat and crafting items to meet their needs, until they’re finally ready to move on. There’s no violence, and the dialog is beautiful and sad. I highly recommend it.
For sure. I just hear the "I went to the US and there was no REAL bread to be found" and I'm always a little confused. Even the local grocer in my fairly poor neighborhood growing up had a section of bread loaves in various styles. I'm sure the selection is worse if you're in a more rural part of the US, but that's probably also towns that maybe never had an actual baker even when they were founded, assuming they were founded in an era that would have been reasonable.

Very true, effectively French speaking Vikings. Who changed the English language to include lots of French.

We can see the fingerprints in the way food is named: pork/pig, beef/cow, etc. The French word was used when serving the Normans at the table, and the English word was used in the field.

I love hetzner but they aren't really the AWS of Germany - they are a great place to get simple cheap instances but don't have many of the more complex offerings that would make them an 'AWS'.
