It seems you're pushing an agenda, here.

> then random parts of the country / random parts of the economy blow up, in ways we don't understand.

This is disingenous. The fallout from the banking disaster in 2008 was not random in effect, and we understood it at the time perfectly well.

> It was easier to understand / fix the issues through a bailout, rather than randomly seeing thousands of people get fired at effectively random, as factories close.

You're saying 'random' a lot. Again, the fallout from the economic and banking mismanagement in the US at that time was in no way random, nor inexplicable. You're trying to smear around blame to dilute the responsibility pool.

> Over the next few years, the plan was to reduce the "too big to fail" effect. [...] In 2008, we were too dumb and ignorant to see "too big too fail". But in 2022, we remember the issue.

This is absurd and wrong. The US in no way planned to reduce the "too big to fail" effect. You are simultaneously implying that the US glibly ignored "too big to fail" in 2008, and somehow was too ignorant to know about it??

> With any luck, our banking system is properly containerized and safe. No bailouts should be necessary to save our economy.

Bailouts in 2008 and later years were not intended to save the economy. A simple understanding of calculus would show a competent onlooker that the amount of money dispensed in government bailout schemes came nowhere close to the amount of money needed to stop the economic collapses in the US. The bailouts were, and are, only capable of -- and only intended to -- prevent rioting in the streets.

You're pushing a really weird agenda in a very half arsed way.
The Unicorn party is slowing – never waste a good afterparty
You can still compare against other car companies their autonomous features.

If car company A has 20 accidents for every 100 cars utilizing autonomous features and company B only has 5 accidents/100 cars, you can say that company B has better autonomous features and would be a wake-up call for company A.
What's your alternative? Tesla has also faced criticism for turning off autopilot less than a second before the crash, and then claiming that because the car was not on autopilot it was driver error.

"On Thursday, NHTSA said it had discovered in 16 separate instances when this occurred that Autopilot “aborted vehicle control less than one second prior to the first impact,” suggesting the driver was not prepared to assume full control over the vehicle.

CEO Elon Musk has often claimed that accidents cannot be the fault of the company, as data it extracted invariably showed Autopilot was not active in the moment of the collision. "

The numbers are a bit meaningless without context. How many Teslas total on the road? How many accidents total?

For me the interesting question is: does Autopilot crash more often than human drivers?
> financial instruments that cannot be controlled by corrupt intermediaries

Are we talking about the same system where there's a rug pull every other week? The same one where two major exchanges decided to block withdrawals as rates plummeted? That one? What are those if not corrupt intermediaries?

> Humanity will break free of tyranny

I hope so too. But markets are just another form of tyranny that we have to break free from. Crypto entrenches them more instead of freeing us.
The fundamental principles of FOSS are around freedom to use, redistribute and modify code.
Many different things can weaken the freedom to use and modify. For example, if somebody gives you only binaries, or obfuscated sources, or only minified javascript.

Or projects with very difficult build process and no documentation, or unnecessarily complex deployment or too many functional dependencies.
Or making the project not very modular, requiring people to deploy a whole VM or container with tenths or hundreds of dependencies bundled in.

The list goes on and on. For example a lot of commercial "open-core" products deploy a lot of tricks to make forks difficult to maintain in the long term.

Many are open source only strictly speaking aka legally, but they discourage REdistribution. Android is an extreme example of this and you can see how HA goes in that direction.

EDIT: There's a company funding HA development and profiting from it using a subscription model...
Why is it any better if someone further removed from the change is accountable instead? Major breaks shouldn't be avoided by avoiding change, They should be avoided by having strong QA process & support - it shouldn't be a single-person accountability.
There's a whole article motte to justify the headline bailey!
Correct. This makes benchmarks, at least on thermally limited machines like laptops, very unreliable. High-quality review sites like notebookcheck spend a lot of time dealing with this by doing prolonged benchmarks and measuring thermals.

And there's an honest question to ask: how do you use your computer? If you're just browsing the web 95% of the time and occasionally opening Word/Excel, then short bursts of high power when you need it is perfect. But if you run longer tasks like many programmers or artists do, these machines simply fall down in sustained use.

This is one reason why the M1/M2 architecture has been such a revelation for professionals who primarily work on laptops. It can run full-bore for hours, because the lower-end chips (which are faster than any Intel released at the time) barely hit 10W at max load.
Not a bad idea, thank you — Github Sponsors is something I use to send other projects money already, but I hadn't thought about it for this app.
When I call clean, I use the time to listen to audiobooks, podcasts, attentively to music (versus just being something in the background while focus is elsewhere), etc. And focusing on the peace/serenity I feel when my area is tidy also helps.

Hth
If not for the removal of 32-bit apps, we would not have ARM chips in our computers. What do you think of Microsoft's depreciation of 32-bit?

What makes you so sure that "Bitcoin and the honest cryptos" aren't just a way some folks are exploiting to be the new wealthy tyranny by playing a game they can win faster by duping others?

These types of games have been played for ages, the behavior is similar, and the end result seems to be the same: major gains for a few bunch, and losses for the late comers.

We've seen it all: ICOs, DAOs, NFTs, what other scheme will resurface next until there are actual regulations in place to prohibit false advertising and bogus claims.

Of course I'm throwing the baby with the bath water when I say this, but reality is that the barrier of entry for scams and schemes is so low that something must be done.
What... I don't know if you realize this but plenty of young folks need healthcare.

Ultimately, we can do both (fixing healthcare and housing). But honestly more countries have solved healthcare than housing.

False. James Patterson became the world's best outliner who handed off his ideas to other authors to make whole.
I know someone who immigrated from a former communist country. She talked how they lived in extreme poverty and now despite having great job and substantial savings, she pretty much lives the way she learned.
For instance cooking the same food her parents used to cook from whatever they managed to find, only wearing used clothing.
When her phone was stolen and she had to buy a new one, she literaly cried for a week thinking that for the lost money she could have food for months.
The bad side is that I remember she berated her then boyfriend because he bought potatoes in the store that had them 20p (like a quarter in the US) more expensive than the one little farther from her place. Can you imagine being screamed at for 20p? He eventually left her and needed to attend therapy.
What exactly is Esy ? I hadn't heard of it before and its website doesn't seem to provide an obvious answer to that question.

You say it is a package manager. Is it supposed to replace opam ? If so what does it offer that opam doesn't ?
> ADHD, hyperactivity etc were non problems 40 years ago and got no treatment.

Lack of ADHD and hyperactivity being notable problems had more to do with the lack of medical study and treatment rather than the lack of cases. 40 years ago, physical abuse was still the norm and people believed you could punish bad behaviors out of a kid. Going even further back any boy thought to be "deviant" or "troubled" would be sent to mental institutions or bootcamps.
A friend mentioned charging for it in the appstore but leaving the open-source project freely available. That way, people can pay for convenience of installation, but they still have a way to access the app freely if they want.

AI model tries to re-create the mind of Ruth Bader Ginsburg
My alternative is to present the data including how long before the crash the system deactivated and not just report all of the incidents into one category. This requires nuance and judgement in reporting.

I'm not blaming Tesla or the NHTSA for this, I'm blaming the WP as their reporting on this lacks any information and seems rather to just paint the data in such a way to make Tesla look bad. There's no room for interpretation by the reader because no actual useful data is presented.

Edited to correct my naming of the article source.
Correct, this is what I’ve observed too. It’s stunning to me that the big tech companies - Amazon comes to mind - aren’t writing colleges big checks in exchange for “produce us people who can function in real life teams”.

Bitcoin removes some intermediaries and opens up the opportunity for other intermediaries. I think you might as well wish for the end of capitalism and get rid of capitalists as parasitic intermediaries, but that's just me.
If "as good as we can do" isn't good enough than it just isn't. If it can't offer enough time for a driver to reasonably take over then it can't meaningfully function in its intended role.

I'm not informed enough about this to say whether it falls under that threshold or even what that threshold is. But the limits being clear technical ones does not change the degree to which they are limits.
The article mainly talks about bitcoin's first two years after inception. Very few people ran a node back then.

Interesting quote:
The study’s purpose was not to name names; it’s the job of the F.B.I. and the I.R.S. to bust Bitcoin criminals. But the researchers pinpointed the identities of a couple of the top players who were publicly known Bitcoin criminals: Agent No. 19 is Michael Mancil Brown, a.k.a. “Dr. Evil,” who was found guilty of a 2012 fraud and extortion scheme involving Mitt Romney, then a candidate for president. Agent No. 67 is associated with Ross Ulbricht, a.k.a. “DreadPirateRoberts,” creator of the Silk Road. Naturally, Agent No. 1 is Satoshi Nakamoto — whose true identity the researchers did not try to determine.
Nope! It's actually exciting to see a government site not just being modern but also accessible, however thinking about it the UK government has a full-time staff thinking about this (called GDS/Government Digital Service).
Software stealing focus is an awful antipattern and I wish macOS would fix this crap.

What makes them a pain to deal with?

I work with ultra-privileged people who by all accounts are “well adjusted” and I find them harder to deal with than people I grew up with from home. Many of them have no history of and don’t understand trauma, and as a result they’re unempathetic to what the literal majority of people experience.

Maybe "plenty" need healthcare but all of them need housing. This sounds like some boomer whining about their issues and pretending to care about millennials.

> It’d be interesting to see what a tool dedicated only to the editing phase could look like (so, you can alter existing text but cannot use it to produce novel material).

Scribus [https://www.scribus.net/] specifically states that it’s meant for editing already-written text; I’d imagine that other publishing software (e.g. InDesign) works fairly similarly.
A better policy is to increase the age restriction by a year every year! The younger generation will never be entitled to the stuff while those already addicted arent forced to smoke more or forced to stop. Sure you can grow your own but in my experience theres better drugs that are less fiddly to produce and have less consequences.
Great context. Impossible to know if this is good or bad without a point of comparison.

I can’t help but feel discouraged that other automakers will improve their reporting. It’s all downside, because you get articles like this, that inevitably build into narratives - true or not - that your cara are unsafe. Meanwhile, why bother when your deficiency is reflecting poorly on your competitor?
I've always wondered why there aren't more restrictions or disincentives for second homes. Empty second homes generate a ton of economic waste. And a high percentage vacation/rental homes can completely ruin a local culture.
Notable that the gas price doubled in 3 years. We’re almost at that point today.

It's not exactly the same, but you could try to buy a keyboard with a USB port on the back and add a USB fingerprint reader (i.e. https://www.kensington.com/p/products/data-protection/biomet...) that way. You'd have a little "key" dangling off the back or side of your keyboard and you'd be "wasting" a USB port on your fancy keyboard, but it'd work to get a fingerprint reader close to your hands on a desktop.
UK tech overtakes China to achieve record-breaking first quarter investment
VC investment into UK startups saw the biggest annual opening on record despite the start of global economic uncertainty, with $11.3bn raised in Q1 of 2022 compared to $7.9bn in Q1 of 2021, according to data by Dealroom analysed for the UK’s Digital Economy Council.

For the last decade, Q1 investment tends to be lower than subsequent quarters that year, implying that 2022’s yearly investment could break more records if economic conditions remain fairly stable.

The first three months of 2022 puts the UK second globally for startup investment, after the United States and ahead of both India and China for the first time.

More risk in US but also more opportunities.
Compared to how many hundreds of thousands or millions of accidents that have happened to human drivers this year. Even adjusting for population size of Tesla vs normal cars, that still seems better than a human.
The "rural" part was added by whoever wrote this blog.

The original title of the journal article is "Longitudinal Effects on Mental Health of Moving to Greener and Less Green Urban Areas"[1]. They don't even claim to be looking at rural areas. They are comparing urban areas to other urban areas based on amount of green space.

Functional programming is not just the FAD of the day. This is evident by the strong presence of functional programming in Rust, an imperative language. Functional programming is also the foundational idea behind React. As with most things in life, extreme ends of the spectrum rarely pan out. Pure functional programming languages are harder to work with but functional programming has a ton of merit. It's here to stay.

Regarding Ocaml, the functional aspect of the language is not hard. I have trained several junior programmers to write code in it (ReasonML). It is not a pure functional language. The biggest challenge for most people is dealing with types.

Ocaml's standard library is a huge sore point. It also lacks a lot of proper tooling. The biggest problem with Ocaml/ReasonML is that they are unable to rally everyone to a unifying vision to gain traction.

this should not require blockchain.
IANAL, but I believe the generic U.S. wire fraud law would cover the examples I mentioned. As to why it doesn't cover advertising a "cleaning product claiming it can remove all stain", I am not sure but my best guess is that it might not fully satisfy the "intent to defraud" or "material fact" elements.
Maybe the other way to fight this is by breaking up the monopolies vying for it. They shouldn't have this level of unilateral control in the first place.

Apple and Google charging 30% for all business instructions running on their hardware and being 99% of the market is also unfree. (No, Google's unfriendly process and scare tactics around APKs do not make that platform open and broadly accessible.)

Maybe Google, gateway to the entire web, shouldn't be allowed to make a browser and set the rules in a way that favors itself at the expense of the rest of us.

Computing shouldn't be a set of four or five companies that control the entire platform and have everyone else beholden to their rules and taxation. We need to make these giants smaller and remove their grip on computing so that competition can flourish.

Every startup founder and free software advocate should want this. Everyone protective of their privacy should worry that in the future only Big Brother signed (and tracked) browsers will work.

We're experts and have a say in how our industry functions. Call your representatives and teach them about this problem. Tell them how it's going to cause everything to stagnate and suck and prevent new businesses from arising.
Until there's decisive evidence all the pressure, lack of transparency and politics is in fact necessary, there is no reason to believe it is. We've made impressive things and done impressive things without them for the entire history of our species.

Most people really just want "do X, get Y" type of deals. Those deals are becoming increasingly more rare except for minimum wage jobs working you to the bone. Not having to deal with politics has become a luxury instead of rewarding a few individuals to deal with all the politics. Even something as simple as getting a salary indication is already a hassle for Average Joe.

The job market can learn a lot from game design and gamification, but the guys at the top seem insistent on believing they know better than decades of research.
Sure, but is there a reason to assume (mere speculation allowed) that Tesla's software is being used more than GM's?
I miss cheats in modern(ish) videogames. Luckily, you can get some with emulation of older (cheatless, or hard-to-cheat-at) games.

Eg. pokemon (gb/gbc/gba) with cheats is still a great game.. you can explore everything, infinite hp/pp, catch-all pokeballs, go everywhere, see everything, catch everything you need/want, fast power-ups and evolutions, without the constant grind of powering up your pokemon and running back to pokemon centers.

Same with games like GTA (although, there is not a lot of grinding here)... you can still play through the whole story, do all the missions even when invincible, have a lot of fun, but without the "getting kiled" parts and restarting the same mission sequence 50 times.

Somehow in modern times, cheating (to avoid the grind) has turned from inputing some random combination of commands to paying actual money for premium crystals or whatever, that give you a competitive edge against AI (and real-life) enemies, or in some game (clash of clans, etc.) to just make the obsurdly long wait times shorter. I get the monetization aspect, and developers getting paid aspect, but eg. Age of empires developers got paid too, and i can still type "coinage" in the chat window to get 1000 gold without paying extra money.
"My wife wanted to buy a big house and I kept blaming her for the stress."

I have a similar situation. It's not unreasonable to not want a bigger house, even if that's what culture tells us we should want that. Maybe your wife is fine being house poor, like mine wants to be. One bad issue and you're sunk and there will be stress. I prefer a cushion for the real possibility of life altering issues arising. We shouldn't all be spending balls the wall like culture tells us and then going up in flames at the first bump (not that it's your situation, but mine).

And yes, I'm a loser and feel like it too. That's ok.
> So women are gaining things men don't really care for, while losing the things men do select for. On top, their higher socioeconomic status generally translates into a smaller dating pool, as they select equal or higher socioeconomic men.

Yeah it's as if it's been decided suddenly that men are attracted to highly educated high earning women, which really doesn't work. Men are attracted to the prospect of having children, which means youth and health, and there are very real practical matters that have limits to their flexibility.
