> Building high speed rail over their entire country in a few years

Ah, the high speed rail network to podunk provincial towns where nobody can actually afford the fares. Built by taking on insane levels of debt which will hobble China Railway for decades to come.

> shiny new hospitals in days during a pandemic

And yet keep imposing lockdowns while the rest of the world has limped back to normal. All the while pushing inferior vaccines and ineffective cures.

Do you understand how bad the healthcare system in China is?
Even highly paid software engineers have to resort to smuggling medicines from India because of the absurd costs at home. I know because I personally helped my colleagues procure anti-cancer drugs.

> then ship the homeless to dorms

I think the preferred term is reeducation camps.

> just as they are modernizing Africa

By building white elephant projects and leaving them with unsustainable levels of debt. Do you see a pattern?
Like the cops at our most recent school shooting in Texas, you mean?

Seems like they already hesitate to act.
that's sort of the point, but since accountability or responsibility are words generally given positive spin - that is to say these are things we want everyone to have in society - I'm supposing your post is extremely dry sarcasm?
cgi-bin was comfy
I type the same things over and over again. I would like an offline app that would capture everything I type (emails, code, reports) and create a library of snippets -- or better yet templates -- that I could access via a shortcut or a key combo.

For example, it would automatically recognize the five different email signatures I type often and make them accessible by typing, say, ”xxsig” followed by pressing TAB to cycle through the five signatures. I would also want it to learn how I write docstrings and generate templates that I could access via another keyword.
Have you tried putting weed in your carry-on on any foreign airline? The drug laws in many America cities and states are "far left" relative to the rest of the world. Coincidentally, lax drug laws have caused many issues in SF that led to Chesa Boudin's recall
I'm always fascinated by $/hr of entertainment.

Video games are generally extremely cost efficient entertainment. A $20 Minecraft purchase can lead to hundreds of hours of entertainment. $20 to see Top Gun: Maverick in IMAX is 2 hours of entertainment.

Everyone has their spending habits, but for me I don't think twice about going to see a movie with my family of 6. But I'm pretty selective about buying games.
Higher level protocol would establish handshake & encryption I imagine.
Exposing a vulnerability in a public forum is the fastest way to patch said vulnerability. You don’t have to be a security nerd to connect the dots
Fantastic, that’s exactly what I was looking for, thank you! I thought maybe there would be an earlier law, this one is about 100 years after the advent of cars. I suppose we’re close to thirty years past what could reasonably be considered the advent of cell phones, so maybe legislation about now is reasonable.

I appreciate the find.
IMHO you don't even need to remove/alter qualified immunity to make it happen. Instead:

1. make a policeman's professional licensing body and require all police to join it. (Take the police unions and turn them into that.)

2. Have the licensing body introduce the concept of professional malfeasance.

3. Make a simple regulatory statute where professional malfeasance as decided by that licensing body, creates civil/criminal liability.

Y'know — just like engineers!
> He claimed Germany in the same timeframe would ascend to late 1930 levels of political power. I'm not sure how to quantify that, but I sincerely doubt anyone looks at Germany as strongly as they looked in late 1930s.

Agreed literally, but post-Ukraine Germany has made an historical shift, for the first time since WWII, to invest seriously in their military and support foreign militaries, and before that, during the Trump administration, they gained much influence and stature as arguably the world leader on human rights.

> He claimed the middle eastern wars would be withdrawn from and the world would see it as American weakness. That appears to be incorrect from any metric I can find.

That actually has been US policy under Obama, Trump and Biden: Trump tried to withdraw from everywhere. Under the Democratic Presidents, the policy has been that the US is less dependent on Middle Eastern oil, the Middle East is consuming not-unlimited US geopolitical power (including military power), and we need to shift geopolitical resources to China while deepening our relationship with NATO.

Obama withdrew from Iraq, made a deal with Iran, and instead of supporting the Saudis he tried to balance them and Iran; he also began the shift of geopolitical resources, including military, to China. Trump withdrew from Iraq and Syria, and undermined various other relationships. Biden pulled out of Afganistan (Middle East adjacent, bordering Iran), explicitly stating the the reasons above (China, etc.) and is shifting more resources to China, and has clearly defined them as 'the pacing threat'.

And many have claimed, including after the two Iraq/Syria pullouts and the Afghan pullout, that America is weaker.

And that decision was in 2010 before Kavanaugh replaced Kennedy and Barrett replaced Ginsburg. It isn't going to be getting better any time soon.
Chesa being thrown out on his ear just means a slightly more moderate liberal will be installed in his place. Your belief that this represents a swing to the republican party is outlandish and deranged. This is San Francisco we're talking about.
I'm so confused here. Why is American Airlines involved at all?

> surveillance cameras caught the suspect boarding a flight headed to Reno. American Airlines reported the theft to DFW Airport police,

Why is AA reporting thefts from airport stores to police? Does AA have retail stores?

> American Airlines identified Lowe as the shoplifter seen in the surveillance footage

Why is AA involving itself in identifying shoplifters?! Providing footage I understand, but ID'ing?
It hasn't started... They are all losing so much money with absolutely no way of making money back. It's insane.
As opposed to which other superpower?
> The US has not invaded a democratic, friendly country in several generations.

Ah, so innocent civilians in countries the US does not consider democratic and/or friendly are fair game to be slaughtered. Gotcha.

> Governments should do what their citizens vote them to do, and most voters/human don't agree that we should ignore Russia invading Ukraine because we don't support regime change in Turkey.

If you read the article carefully, you will understand that in Germany, the split between '1939 revival world tour' and 'hey, maybe not get involved' is pretty much 50/50. In that case, government should default on keeping their options open without a full commitment - which incidentally is exactly what Scholz is doing.

What is refreshing to see is that regardless of state-run media and the openly pro-NATO Springer press's best efforts, instead of people flocking into the jingoistic camp I do see people to become more sceptical. The situation is likely to topple completely in three to four months, when the heating period starts, but not the heating.

> It's one or the other -- you can't be inconsistent, right?

This is a wilful twisting of my argument, which was explicitly about which side to support in time of wars of aggression, the most of which originated on the other side of the Atlantic.
I know where you’re coming from, but the reality is MSFT no longer has that ability.

1. Desktop/laptop OS based revenue is in decline. There is no reason for it to go up again. Between Chromebooks on the cheap end, MacBooks on the expensive end, and iOS and Android supporting an increasing number of productivity and content creation apps “with a free OS”, there is not much room for new and soon old companies to pay for OS licenses (other than legacy custom code - being “actively” migrated to Azure).

2. Because of Azure competing with AWS and GCP with a Linux distribution, MSFT already has teams with Linux expertise and working on improvements. This can’t get “extinguished” people just migrate Linux workloads elsewhere.

This leaves us with:

> Wonder what would come next

Likely more improvements to the Linux kernel from MSFT. Maybe even a big push of Linux to Rust (with Amazon and Google as partners). A bigger push from MSFT to get hardware manufacturers to build open source drivers into the kernel directly (so MSFT doesn’t need to fund the work for each of them). Maybe even “Windows” over Wayland. Basically windows/linux rather than gnu/linux.

Likely more applications built on DirectX + Linux native (ie without Win32). Maybe even Office without Win32. A Windows compat layer for gtk or qt or Flutter or whatever is good at the time. Even if only for new application creation.

Likely, given the direction of gaming at MSFT, DirectX (or whatever they call it) competes with Unreal for cross platform game stuff. For the next big revenue stream for MSFT from game devs (including their internal studios).
How is not a net good? Are you saying that a 50% saving is not significant enough reduction in cost? Certainly this is a step in the right direction? I get that Cuban putting his name on an existing project is kind of annoying but it's certainly good PR for the company, right?
a bit older than my teeth, but the same age as my tongue.
Cops hesitating to break the law is the goal here.

They already hesitate to do protecting at their own peril, as evidenced by that recent school shooting.

ID3 is not formally tied to any file format. It can exist without a media file or with any other file. It was conceived of for MP3 files but nothing should be stopping you ;)
That decision does not say what the commenter thinks it says. It says that if you start silent and then start talking, your earlier silence does not prevent your later statements from being used as evidence. It does not say that you can’t continue to remain silent or refuse to testify against yourself.
Where the hell are you getting your definitions from? You're claiming a piece of software is in beta because in your opinion the releases are too frequent? I suppose you think Google Chrome is in beta too, because it also isn't "mature" enough to be "stable"?

Beta is the last step before release. Nowhere in the definition of "release" is there a requirement that there will be years until the next release, or whatever you think "stable" means in this context. And frankly, release frequency isn't even the topic of the post; a lack of distros doing QA of their packages is the topic. Which hardly falls on Bottles for being "unstable".
Always remember that they are a country with slavery enshrined in their constitution. That is they fully support it in certain cases. Should tell everything about their justice system.
The container’s kernel has to run on hardware (that’s what kernels do). If you have an x86 container that means an x86 kernel. Rosetta only runs user mode processes (and presumably in this environment knows how to translate linux system calls?).

If you /have/ to run an x86 kernel (I’m not sure what the reason would be?) you’re stuck with full system emulation a la qemu.

In reality what you probably have is a few x86 binaries that you need, and it sounds like this will let docker, VMware, qemu, whatever, leverage Rosetta w/o having to implement it themselves.

Now, if you’re running something that does codegen at runtime, then Rosetta is pretty much just as screwed as any other tech you might want to use.
Many of the violent criminals Chesa freed would be arrested in any other nation. Chesa is definitely "far left" on crime
Chesa Boudin is the opposite problem. The answer to our broke-ass, classist, unjust "justice" system isn't to abandon prosecution almost entirely.

If I had a magic wand, the DA's offices across America would review cases promptly, prosecute justifiable cases, and preemptively drop unjustified cases as soon as possible — and report truly questionable policing to a real oversight board, while actually charging and prosecuting police officers for genuinely bad policing.

In reality, in most jurisdictions, the DA's office often doesn't even look at most cases until the day of arraignment, months after someone's life has already been run through a ringer and they've spent tens of thousands on retaining a defense attorney (if they're lucky enough to afford one), not to mention therapy (again, if they're lucky enough to afford that). All too often they'll try to coerce a plea deal for a bad case, rather than simply dropping it — and people accept the offered deal, because the alternative is incredibly expensive, and incredibly risky.

As for holding police accountable for bad policing? Unless it's a case that garners the political will to prosecute (usually due to massive negative media attention), a ski holiday in hell is more likely.

However, Chesa Boudin's office swung way too far in the opposite direction, failing to even prosecute strong cases for real crimes that resulted in real harm. Eventually, the police gave up — why bother going through the effort of policing if the DA is just going to drop the case anyway? It's like writing code only to have `git` erase your entire branch when you `git push`.

I'm not a police apologist ("fuck the police" would find a spot on my top-100 playlist!) but Chesa Boudin absolutely deserved to be recalled.

Oh and if by any chance BTC tanks, it may be more expensive to produce than the value it holds.
>Would shutting up have resulted in less jail time?

Talking will never, absolutely never, result in anything but more jail time. There is absolutely zero benefit for you to answer police questions past basic things such as identifying yourself/things like showing license/registration at a traffic stop. At no point would talking ever make your case better.
Most of the immediately useful (to humans) chemistry are all organic based and electron-pushing doesn't exactly make for exciting reading. Sure everybody wants to re-enact Breaking Bad but learning the hundred or so heuristics of carbon compounds really takes a toll. Physical chemistry on the other hand is much more straightforward with tons of industrial applications but it doesn't offer much value by itself unless combined with some other process. Most industrial chemists will work on a small part of e.g. semiconductor manufacturing, the critical value creation is still done by somebody else.
Even in the USA it seems to depend on the length of stay. For 28 days or less, the search pages has a per-night rate AND the total next to it, that includes cleaning fees, taxes etc, i.e the exact price you would pay. For monthly or more stays it does not seem to show the total which seems like a very inconsistent user experience.
Sounds like what AWS CDK basically does: uses TypeScript to write JSON (Cloudformation).
I think terminating a companys existences. Or at least all of it's operation and for a period of let's say 3x is reasonable. If they are people we should be able to jail them. Have there be period where no one can work there and they can't operate.
You really believe their standard of living is like Cold War times US/Europe? Wtf is with these misconceptions.
Google will not let me pay an invoice they sent me
I signed up for the trial of Google Workspace.

I entered my credit card information but my "Payments Account" required ID verification, so I submitted my ID.

I then cancelled my trial of Google Workspace, accidentally 1 day after the trial expiration.

I was not allowed to pay the outstanding balance of $1.16 at the time because my "Payments Account" had not been verified.

I closed my Google Workspace account so I wouldn't incur further charges and figured I'd just pay the invoice later.

2 weeks later they invoice me for the $1.16. However, I cannot pay without signing in to my cancelled Google Workspace account. I do not want to re-activate the account, though I try unsuccessfully with the instructions provided to me by support.

Support now tells me that after 20 days a deleted account cannot be recovered. I contact collections to pay the invoice but they "do not handle these types of accounts".

I am concerned this will effect my excellent credit.

I have tried multiple times to pay but support does not provide a means to do so.
the "free trial" is still a great deal though. you get around 10 hours of gameplay per class if you're new (I'm aware the actual way to play the campaign takes only 5-6 hours)

also, there's a cap on how much you can spend on inventory tabs. and even then you don't "win", you still have to grind and be smart about what you do
Honestly the details of licensing, while charitable and productive to mention, are nearly irrelevant. The government has no problem setting up licensing systems. The merits can be debated, but doing what you call for is pretty well oiled machinery at this point.

The challenge is you're seeking to overturn the systems of violence with peaceful legislative action. This is a lofty goal with historically rare outcome.
New firearms course aims to train US cops to shoot, but not to kill
It’s a bizarre scenario that this is not allowed, yet if you’d visit the Netherlands right now. You’d be swarmed with gambling ads since online gambling has been legalised since a year now.

Even worse is that if you visit any nice museum there’s a huge chance you’d find some folks there try to recruit people to join the national lottery. It’s a disgrace. Especially as they do it all under the guise of non-profit and all that while only giving 45% to charities of which none are supporting addiction prevention.

I think it’s good that this game is not allowed here as loot boxes are a sham, but it does seem weird that gambling is such an overt and condoned activity by almost everyone, including the parliament.
How is this reasonable, if not criminal behavior?

If your jailers keep you without explaining what you are detained for, or if that reason turns out to be incorrect, it aught to be a crime.
He is not, in fact, free to risk his own, that’s the entire point.
If they can build WSL2, and WINE can be built without MSFTs help, I’m not sure what is left to doubt.

At that point the only question is “Is the one time cost of building the compat layer less than the ongoing cost of improving NT? Building windows specific drivers? Etc”. “One time cost” is always going to win the negotiation in the long run.
Every country in the world would have similar incidents then though. With arson or stabbings or whatever weapons are available

I’m curious how many people would agree with this comment. If Chesa and his policies are not considered far left, who/what is? It seems that his polices were on the extreme end of the progressive spectrum, and that both his supporters and critics would agree with that statement.

Unemployment rate is back to normal: https://www.google.com/search?q=unemployment+rate

We can debate small perturbations and shifts in employment, but I am not at all convinced this is the reason for majority of the COVID excuses. Especially for a judicial process where people's employment is pretty much secure and hasn't had that much of an impact. Nurses? Sure. Package delivery? I can give them the benefit of the doubt. I see a disproportional number of things are out of order because of COVID. We can act in good faith for a while, but to me it has started to raise my cynicism.
Where does it say that it's hypothetical?
The licensing body will quickly fill with people aligned with police and be entirely useless.

This kind of thing works better with skilled professionals which police are not. Plus, nobody wants engineers to build bridges that fall down, plenty of people want police to be abusive and belligerent… to groups of people they don’t identify with.
You just highlighted one of the issues with JSON. You think you can write comments like that (hell, I've done it too) but it's both undefined behavior and at worst breaks when your config comes across something that expects a strict adherence to some schema some poor intern or sr. dev was saddled with writing.

How would this help windows specifically, or are you thinking steam+wine? In which case presumably steam+wine on Mac would have lower perf overhead.

If your thinking involves a windows VM under linux you’re SOOL, as that has the same problem as an win/x86 vm on Mac: it’s a full system emulation - eg qemu, etc

Rosetta can translate user mode code, because every can either be translated to native code /or/ is a system call, and apparently Rosetta knows how to translate linux syscalls.
It is disingenuous to say Weather Underground had anything to do with this recall. San Francisco voters knew of his parents' background back in 2019, and still gave him a chance. Ultimately he was kicked out due to his performance (or lack thereof).

Once you're in a cell, whether it is reasonable or not becomes irrelevant (or at least not too useful to fixate on in the short run). You deal with the reality and debate the reasonableness after you attain freedom.
If you’re given wrong wrong instruction by a public agency, it is highly likely that you have literally no recourse whatsoever, due to sovereign and qualified immunity.
There's too much cognitive overhead if you do this. For example, to change a word we use `ciw`, which roughly means "Change Inner Word" as a mnemonic. There are quite a lot of similar keys with mnemonics, which would prolly make no sense if you keep the QWERTY keypresses on a Dvorak layout.
Pure speculation!

but the more I write about it, the more it’s likely to get read by a Microsoft VP, and the more it’s likely to happen :)

That said, truly it’s a no brainer. For the future of Microsoft, all paths lead to windows/linux (maybe windows/bsd but way way less likely).
