It doesn’t matter if they are real. If the topic is about practical suggestions for reducing the attack surface of current systems, it’s the wrong place to bring up global surveillance and vague allegations about vendor trust and world governments.
> many kids just don't care about the subject being taught

This sums up school and work for a lot of the population I think.
Code is shared with explicit licensing. Art exists in a more vague space, where the line between stealing and influence is subjective.

If your code is released with no license, it should be fair to assume free use. But if it is licensed, tools like Copilot should be forced to respect that.
It would not, but it would sure as hell reduce the risk of a lab leak. The whole idea of GoF research was to preempt evolution on bad viruses. If instead, the research is causing the evolution of bad viruses, it should be shut down.
But that has nothing to do with supply shock and inflation
>We didn't have conscription in WW1, ...

There was a military draft in WW I:

>...By the end of World War I, some two million men volunteered for various branches of the armed services, and some 2.8 million had been drafted.

I also suggested my own laying-off, since that'd save a bit more money and the engineers we've got are so great that they basically don't need management... The founders asked me to stay though.
> The fetus is a human who has the right to their body as well

Please point to the legal code that supports this claim.

You can’t. The fetus has no rights. It is not a person under the law. Never has been. Several religions quite clearly support abortion, e.g. Judaism, United Church of Christ, Buddhism, Hinduism, varieties of Islam.

You have no grounds whatsoever for your claim.
That's called Content ID and was created in response to Viacom dragging YT through court for not preemptively stopping people from uploading episodes of Spongebob. Viacom was planning to take it further up the appeal process until a settlement was reached, almost certainly with the goal being "you upload your copyrighted material and we'll automatically scan every video upload to remove it". Of course, other copyright holders weren't going to let Viacom have all the fun, so YT expanded it to allow any big-name rights management firm or copyright holder to use the system.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viacom_International_Inc._v._Y....

Despite this, everything mentioned in the torrentfreak article was handled under the official DMCA process, and they handled it as they should have, as they disabled access to all videos immediately until the counter-notice was posted by the claimee. Eventually they started asking the user for proof of identity after they suspected he didn't represent Bungie, but that's not a requirement in the DMCA process.

Separately, YT does often go to bat for its creators if/when they suspect supposedly infringing content is actually protected under fair use, eg. recently when "Vantage Media" was trying to take down all footage of the trailers for Kevin Spacey's new movie, Peter Five-Eight[1]. This is still only wrt DMCA, as Content ID is designed to allow rights management companies to control their content on YT entirely (with no regard for fair use, on purpose) as YouTube doesn't want to get on the bad side of their partners in the Music (YouTube Music[2][3]) and TV/Sports (YouTube TV) space.

Right, I absolutely agree. It's interesting to compare, in fact I've written about the startup environment comparing the US to Japan before:

https://41j.com/blog/2022/05/startups-and-japan/

But when people make broad statements based on single events it doesn't come off as a thoughtful comparison but something else entirely...
Those companies have connections to the broader financial markets. The traditional thought was that crypto could do what it wants because it's a fairly insulated silo. If it fails, nothing of value fails with it. If it is going to contaminate the rest of the financial system, we are going to need to shut down the shenanigans very fast.
> While deaths of despair skyrocket in America — most significantly among white, middle-aged men with low income and limited education living in rural areas…

If your whole lifestyle goes away, you’re middle-aged and have limited education what exactly will maternity care and lower college tuition do for you?

Nobody’s going to hire some 40 something new college graduate (assuming they can even manage to get a college degree) your farm or manufacturing job is gone to the robots or overseas and there is absolutely no support network for males in the US. Like nothing, to even suggest it is a hate crime.

So they drink or use drugs or just outright commit suicide because they are a failure and don’t have anywhere to turn. Such is life for the oppressors in modern society.

One small sliver of hope is if you’re a veteran the VA won’t turn you away because suicide rates are very high among veterans and they want to help. Sure they’ll lock you in the psych ward with crackheads who eat all the sugar packets and give you a Vietnam veteran roommate who thinks they can intimidate a former paratrooper because they’re mad the wife had them locked up but at least they care enough to help.

White? Male? Not a veteran? Sorry, dude, you’re fucked…
The way I remember it is that profit's growth for MS greatly increased under Ballmer but company growth tanked and that's what tanked the stock since MS lost its reputation as a growth stock. But generally speaking Ballmer was not the best choice to take on the company.

Thanks and correction accepted. Lot of it is still misleading though. We should also clarify that it was the marginal tax rate, not the "tax rate" as we know. Marginal = above a certain threshold. 90% marginal tax rate, but effective tax rate only bit higher than it is today.

Couldn’t agree more. Managers who measure time-spent-in-office instead of products/features delivered to paying customers should be fired for incompetency and the salary money saved should be spend on hiring more developers.
I feel like the code in those games is merely a convenient interface to the puzzle aspect. It might as easily have been visual programming, and the game would be the same.
No, the Federal government having a standing army is what leads to us invading other countries. This is a terrible, terrible thing. It is far harder to forward deploy individuals that are only required to defend their homeland.

Also, we've seen all the institutions you mention collapse in the face of disaster. It would be far better for the citizens to be responsible for themselves in a collation with larger bodies than be dependent upon those larger organizations. For example, in Florida it makes sense to have the community trained on preparation and local response. People need to know what to materials to gather and what is already stockpiled locally. In the face of a hurricane, the community guard, i.e. the people, would be responsible for triaging the situation until reinforcements arrive. As it stands, the people huddle together en-mass hoping that the Federal government, or even the State will come to their rescue.
> If you aren't obviously east Asian you get the opposite treatment. You'll constantly be complimented on your ability to do basic things like pick up food with chopsticks and the ability to say hello. If you can have a conversation, there will be constant "compliments" on it. It gets annoying very quickly.

Americans find a lot of things like this incomprehensible and annoying, but if you're British you'll be right at home. Japanese people are just Asian English people.

(This also explains why they're train otakus, the way other countries only like their nerdier TV shows, and the occasional colonization.)

None of the big name VPS providers have done this to my knowledge and I make heavy use of nuttcp/iperf3/iftop and lftp multi-threaded rsync-like tool on all my instances everywhere. If I use a shared vs dedicated cpu instance I sometimes get short bursts of slowness but I expect that on shared instances and the cause is obvious in vmstat.

There was a time and may still be where small AWS accounts had some fixed rate limiting on small EC2 instances but I have no idea if they still do this.

Another benefit that is often overlooked is that Parquet support various compression methods, right? SQLite's official support for compression is a commercial product, so basically useless for general usage in free open-source software. There are a few 3rd party alternatives, but it becomes cumbersome.

Considering DuckDB's and Parquet's features, if DuckDB manages to support the emerging GeoParquet standard someday, I believe it could be a nice alternative to the typical SQLite + Spatialite combo, and GeoPackage as a whole.

It will be less cluttered because the old system let apps mix their commands with system commands, messing with your muscle memory, while the new system has a dedicated API that oversees everything to group extensions to their own place below system commands.

This is the whole point to why Microsoft took this awkward step.

Try this: step by step reduce your daily total carbs and your carbs hunger will go away. It worked for me. I went from 230+ g carbs a day to 50g a day and my carbs hunger disappeared. I also lost 9cm waist and 8kg as a nice bonus. Without eating fewer calories and without feeling hungry.
While the Catholic Church does teach that artificial contraception is inherently sinful, it’s leadership has not - certainly in recent decades - displayed any interest in having that moral view enforced by law. If no state enacts a general ban on contraception, SCOTUS will never get the opportunity to directly rule on its constitutionality.

Also, much of the success of the movement to restrict abortion has been because it has been a cross-faith alliance - Catholics, Evangelicals, Mormons, Orthodox Jews, among others. The same winning formula won’t work for a general ban on contraception, because Catholics are the only member of that coalition who believe that artificial contraception is inherently sinful-the others view its moral acceptability as more situation-dependent.
Indeed, the problem I run into with marketing in general is building a brand is _expensive_. Either you spend a lot of money or a lot of time to build a brand, neither of which I have an excess amount of at the moment. So I'm trying to split the difference by having a marketing firm help me build the brand while I continue building the product.

Ideally I'd have a co-founder or something to take care of this part of the business, fingers crossed that I find someone at startup school speed dating tomorrow!
> You are forgetting Kentucky: a slave state that explicitly decided not to leave the union and fought alongside the non-slave states against the Confederacy.

I had always believed that Kentucky was neutral in the Civil War. Both Lincoln and Jefferson Davis (President of the Confederate States) were born in Kentucky.

Reading the wikipedia article[0], it seems like it's really complicated but it still looks mostly correct to me that Kentucky was more neutral than not.

I'd say it's quite hard to make C++ approach the speed of Python even with heavy allocation and frequent copying. My ballpark is that Python code will be between 10 to 100 times slower than the equivalent C++ or Rust code. Java's an entirely different beast, and can definitely be on par with allocation-heavy C++, though you're not going to be writing Java functions that can be called from within Python. And your intuition about Rust is correct, there's no pressure to defensively copy strings in Rust as there is in C++, you can just safely pass and store the references.
Pretty much that. The drug would have to be some sort of key to unlock access to the alien consciousness. The key (drug) is definitely too small to encode such a complex mechanism, so the logic would have to be with the thing the key fits into, the way it interacts with our brain. But when you consider that it would have to remain stable over millions of years of evolutionary changes, or be redundantly specified strongly enough to survive such genetic drift... it really stops making any kind of sense from an information theory standpoint.

From a physical standpoint, it's just not possible that our minds could communicate with an alien consciousness when you consider the effects of speed of light on communication latency, and the speed of the nervous system. We have a hard enough time preventing VR headsets from making the user nauseous from latency, to say nothing of communicating with some sort of non-local alien entity.

If you're willing to throw all that out.. well then we're in pure fantasy land.

You could start with a roundup from this non-sensationalist nonprofit for an overview of legislative action.

Wouldn’t the political spectrum be an utter lack of government on one end and tyranny on the other? That being the case, communism, fascism, Naziism, etc. would all be closely related on the totalitarianism side of the spectrum, rather than opposing ends of the spectrum.

Except it now has a setting that will prevent output that matches against the training set, and even before that verbatim output was only in cases of blank files, particularly in blank projects.

This is a straw man with examples caused by going out of the way to create the environment in which they would occur, when in fact they are edge chases outside the vast majority of usage.

For nearly half the aughts they weren’t even really competitors in the same market.

Depends on what the startup is about. If you're in the business of hardware, biotech etc. that _requires_ an initial investment, just don't. Particularly if you're building SaaS, I'd seriously consider bootstrapping. Just build your MVP yourself, possibly with a couple co-founders if you need help on the tech/business side. Then validate the hell out of it. This way you will both prime yourself strongly for success, avoid unnecessary dilution and come out stronger with truly useful skills, without relying on a whim of VC bullshit.

I've never lived in either of them, but visited Switzerland as a tourist. They're not in the European Union and both have wealth taxes (depending on where you live, the wealth tax varies).

If I had to pick one or the other, I'd choose Switzerland and pick the lowest tax canton I could find. Keep in mind that the cost of living in Switzerland is very high and you might need to learn German.

Countries in (or used to be) the EU I've spent significant time in and my opinion of them:

UK: Salaries are higher than the rest of the EU, especially if you work in fintech, but London is outrageously expensive, especially if you maintain a car. The alternative is the Underground (metro system) which I despised. Not as bad as NYC MTA but close. NHS is a disaster. No wealth tax.

Germany: High taxes but lots of options/accounting maneuvering can reduce the burden. Cost of living is OK, very nice infrastructure, clockwork-like services and I love Berlin. Should learn German if you plan to live there for years, but can go by with English. National health system is excellent. No wealth tax.

France: I've lived in Paris for a few months. Avoid. Housing situation is insanely bad. Has a wealth tax but high threshold before it kicks in, still if you're HNW it will catch you.

Netherlands: Amsterdam is getting very expensive but super fun city. The wealth tax equivalent they have is insane. Medium-high cost of living. Super high taxes. National health system is good. Not recommend if you are a high net worth individual (1 million+).

Spain: High tax rate if you're resident there, 37% from 35k and 45% on anything above 60k EUR. Bad bureaucracy. Cost of living was good in Barcelona. Bad wealth tax which also includes real estate.

Greece: Nice for short vacation, definitely avoid for work. Bureaucracy and state services will drive one nuts. Health system is a disaster. High taxes and cost of living is high in the posh areas of Athens. Need to know/learn Greek if you plan to live there.
C compiled for the 6502 would use the zero page (first 256 bytes of RAM) as registers, and use the actual registers just to run instructions of a higher-level abstract machine that, e.g., understood 16-bit numbers. Kind of like Xerox Alto, in that particular way; on the Alto, only device drivers were coded native.

There was a C compiler that kept one of the 6502 index registers zero at all times, just to have a zero handy.

This use of a little interpreter to provide a higher-level instruction architecture to program to was really, really common in the 50s and 60s. The Apollo AGC computer that landed on the moon was mostly programmed that way. It seems surprising that with memory so tight, they would use up so much of it for the virtual machine interpreter, but instructions for that could be much more compact than native code. It made a slow computer even slower, but they all felt fast back then.

Steve Wozniak burned a little interpreter like that into the Apple ][ ROM, just smart enough for dumb jobs like copying blocks of memory. It used a reserved fragment of the zero page as its registers.

First off, if the 5 year treasury rate ever approaches 1000%, I assure you the Fed will collapse.

Second, problems with hyperdeflation and hyperinflation are both rooted in the hyper.

If you can buy a pizza today, or have $10 million dollars in a few years, why buy a pizza?

Third, the issue isn't just deflation, it's specifically deflation of a currency. If you invest $100 in a company, there's a chance it will be $1000 next year. But your $100 will circulate in the meantime and generate value.

Now if instead there was just as good a chance you could put $100 under your mattress, and next year it'd magically have become $1000 despite never having left your grasp... why would anyone ever invest again? You get to keep your money and have it increase in value, there's no incentive to invest or spend any more than you absolutely have to.

But then as people spend less and less, there's less and less economic activity being generated. You stop wanting to pay people so jobs disappear. Eventually you end up in a game of chicken where everyone is scared to spend money.

A BTC based country (fully BTC based, not El Salvador's lip service) would be an utter hellscape devoid of any economic output other than people waiting for their currency to appreciate. Not unlike the real thing...
