> The PS4 and PS5 are nice and pain free.

Are they, though?

Turn them off for 6 months, 1 year, then come back to them.

Wanted to play Fifa with a friend that had a... PS4. OS update, game updates, the whole shebang. It wasn't much better than Windows + Steam.
I like to have things well-lit, but only with indirect light and no "hot spots" that I find distracting. What works best for me:

* North side of the house, so no direct sunlight and nice even shadows

* Lots of lamps - currently have four lamps around the room, some pointing up at the ceiling and some with large shades to even out the light.

* Warm colours - All the lamps are incandescent or around 3-4k kelvin.

* Timers on all the lights - Old school mechanical timers - I always forget to turn things off at the end of the day, so it's nice to just leave and not worry about it anymore. Also nice for the AM, coming into the room already lit up and looking cozy.

Eh. I bought a base model M1 Air on a whim because they were in stock, and I can count on one hand the times I wished for more RAM. I have a Kubernetes cluster at home I can run things in, which also hosts a Jupyter instance.

My next one I'll get 16G simply because those few times (namely, creating Kubernetes labs intended to be ran on Apple Silicon) were annoying to deal with. But for I would wager 90+% of their customer base, 8G is absolutely fine. I've never once had it stutter with heavy Chrome usage, video streaming, or even gaming (not AAA titles, granted) out to an external monitor.
>none of those things upthread are inconsistent with democracy. They are illiberal, perhaps, but not all democracy is liberal democracy.

This line of reasoning feels like a motte and bailey to me. When that fact is being trotted out by supporters it's almost always a comparison to liberal democracies. I doubt when Indians say "we're the largest democracy" they're comparing themselves to russia.

My aversion is against people paying for that. Prostitution is legal in my country but strip clubs and similar businesses are far less popular it seems. There is also a negative stigma against those visiting such places. Not sure if that is a bad thing to be honest. Of course Uber and DoorDash are exploitative too, probably even worse for workers. Most people probably don't do a serious calculation for car ownership and maintenance. Likewise I have an aversion against people using these services too and then complain about low wages. An Uber might be cheap but you might dearly pay for it later.
There are lots of fun and weird things on the internet, but SEO prevents you from seeing most of them---you end up seeing only the parts that someone is motivated to pay to get you to look at. That's essentially Google's business model.
It is an electoral autocracy. Merely having elections doesn't make it "democratic". Certainly not if much of mainstream media is under the ownership of the biggest "donors" of the current ruling disposition.

Alternative crowd sourced media houses such as AltNews, The Wire among others are under real danger as are socio-political activists, union organizers, smaller opposition political parties, etc.

I agree, but how do you decide e.g. if there's one disabled person on a track, and one not disabled on the other? It's that I don't want to make these decision (and luckily, I am not forced - I didn't design this game, I did not put the people on the track in the first case - I can decide not to play the game, and in reality, I can always ask "Is there perhaps option C that saves both?").
Yes, many cloud vendors like to cultivate developer habits first, bind developers, and start to consider raising prices to make money when the volume reaches a certain scale. At this time, it is not easy for developers to migrate away. Commonly known as cutting leeks
If the M2 Air supported two displays, I’d have no reason whatsoever to buy the expensive MacBook Pro. The M1/M2 Air is already so ridiculously overpowered for my needs. Which is probably why the Air doesn’t support two displays. Sigh.
Disclosure: I work for GM. Anything here is solely my own opinion or experience.

Fun fact: Chevrolet kind of bought GM. https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/gm-buys-chevrole...

> "Still the owner of a considerable portion of GM stock, Durant began to purchase more shares in the company as his profits from Chevrolet allowed. In a final move to regain control, Durant offered GM stockholders five shares of Chevrolet stock for every one share of GM stock. Though GM stock prices were exorbitantly high, the market interest in Chevrolet made the five-for-one trade irresistible to GM shareholders. With the sale, concluded on May 2, 1918, Durant regained control of GM"

And then after this the DuPont Family effectively controlled GM for quite a while. They previously had a relationship because GM used DuPont paints.

As to the manufacturer family tree: things get significantly more complicated when you add joint ventures. Ford famously partnered with Mazda, Chrysler partnered with Mitsubishi, and GM partnered with Isuzu and Suzuki and even Toyota for a while (NUMMI). Nowadays GM and Honda have a few codevelopment projects; even the concept of what a joint venture means has significantly changed. My list is this comment is far from authoritative or exhaustive.

Yes. E.g.: I didn't choose to kill the lobsters instead of the cat. I chose not to act. If they'd been switched, the cat would have been greased instead. The statistics are presented after the fact like you had a preference for one over the other, when in most versions of this problem, I was deliberately choosing not to participate. I refuse to be complicit in this evil.

I maintain that the real answer to the trolley problem involves an overwhelming personal struggle that is so traumatizing that it transforms the hypothetical subject into a vigilante -- a hero who devotes themselves to carrying out personal justice against the nefarious evil-doers who keep setting up these trolley problems.

13’ x 9’ room with:

3 x 1600 lumen daylight bulbs in a ceiling fixture on a dimmer switch.

2 x 1100 lumen Phillips hue color bulbs in a lamp behind my laptop screen

1 x 2400 lumen color led strip for under desk lighting

It’s decently bright in here when everything is 100%. I normally dim the lights to a comfortable level depending on how I feel.

For late-night D&D, I go with dim yellow lighting and turn off the ceiling lights.

I have 8GB on my M1 air and will definitely be paying extra for 16 or 24 GB next time. Memory pressure is real especially because I have a second user on the laptop for my spouse - if both our accounts are logged in with apps open it can slow down and freeze for 30 seconds or more.
If you're coming from Windows or another OS it definitely takes time to get used to the "Apple way" of doing things. Also you need to expect that a lot of the applications you're used to being free in other OS cost $10-35+ each on Apple. Apps like SetApp are great for this and trying new applications out but that's a $10 monthly fee. It'd still take me awhile (a year+) to buy the apps I use at $10/mo so I just pay the monthly.

I still have to look at my (unlabeled) keyboard to figure out what the Apple Cmd Shift Up etc heiroglyphs are and it'll always be weird closing windows on the left instead of right side but beyond that after about 3 months of forcing myself to use OSX 5 years ago OSX is now by far my favorite OS. The continuity and interoperability between my other Apple devices is amazing. Yesterday I was working on my jeep and I just dragged a PDF of instructions over to my Ipad from my Macbook and immediately had it to look at downstairs. You can do that in other systems with pushbullet, dropbox, etc but it's just fluid and built in here.

I've always only owned a MBP through work, the M1 max w/64gb 14" is the first MBP I've ever bought for myself and it just hums. I hope it'll be "fast" for 5+ years for the price I paid.

Thanks for answering! It seemed like a contradiction but I understand your point of view.
To my knowledge they aren't subject to any different safety standards. They aren't non-passenger vehicles unless they meet specific guidelines, most of which a typical family SUV will not qualify under. [1]

Most of the family SUVs and crossovers you see are constructed on unibody platforms shared with cars. The Corolla Cross that I mentioned is built on the same GA-C platform as the regular Corolla and a number of other cars, vans, and SUVs. [2]

There are very few body-on-frame SUVs remaining on the market, which include:

- Chevy Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Yukon, Cadillac Escalade

- Toyota 4Runner, Sequoia, Land Cruiser, Lexus LX, GX

- Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator

- Jeep Wrangler

- Mercedes G-Class

These models generally share similarities with their truck counterparts, e.g., a vehicle like the Chevy Suburban shares a platform with GM's full-size pickups. [3]

Heres the interesting thing though. A majority of Indian citizens would agree with this overreach. If the majority agrees with heavy handed tactics and they are enforced by elected officials with at least reasonably fair elections then is it right to call it an autocracy?

I don’t agree with any of this of course but it is unfortunate reality here.
I think Netherlands is just a convenient place for European multinationals to incorporate. ST Micro, another Italo-French company is incorporated there for example.

> I think the main difference (besides storage and peripherals) is active cooling

Haha, I read your comment, and my first thought was a dismissive, “who cares about active cooling”. Which really says something about how insanely power efficient these chips are. I’ve had the M1 Air since launch and I’ve yet to observe any thermal throttling under my workloads (I’ve yet to feel the machine even get hot)
You probably use a consequentialist meta-ethical framework. This is great -- I do too -- but in a deontological or virtue-based system it may or may not work out this way. We've already got an example of such a deontological system here: if one takes the (somewhat unusual but not unheard of) view that legality implies morality, then there's a moral difference because there's a legal difference.

The trolley problem is meant precisely to highlight these differences, and I think it's one of the best arguments for consequentialism. In my less charitable moments, I like to refer to the concept of privileging inaction as an informal fallacy. It's not really, though; it's just that folks have different philosophical starting points.
If you're bayesian.
> The standard for civil cases is low compared to a criminal trial where someone has to present a case of intent beyond a reasonable doubt.

Criminal trials don't need to prove intent at all unless it happens to be an intent crime, and in any case commercial racism isn't a crime so...I’m not sure why were are bringing up criminal burdens of proof at all. The civil standard is preponderance of the evidence, that is what is more likely than not true based on the evidence presented.

> Suggesting that there's orders from the company top to engage in racism is absurd and requires evidence.

“standard operating procedure” here is a synonym of “routine practice” not “orders from the company too”; the only thing alleged about the “company top” is that “done little to nothing to reasonably prevent or stop this toxic behavior and work environment”.

And, yes lawsuits require evidence and if this isn't dropped or settled before trial, there will be evidence presented and a ruling on the evidence just as the case with the other race discrimination case which Tesla lost, based on the evidence.

> Tesla cannot blanket deny that the harassment didn't happen, but they can deny giving any such instruction to promote it.

Then Tesla is in trouble, since they are legally responsible for preventing racial harassment and other forms of race discrimination from happening in the workplace, not just for not commanding it.

> The court determined that regardless of the employees ultimately responsible for the harassment, Tesla was on the hook for paying them for the behavior.

I'm not sure what you are talking about. The court hasn't determined anything, the lawsuit was just filed. And while it is true that there is some liability for harassment by any coworker, it does very much depend on the working context and who the employees doing the harassment are what the standards are, and Tesla's exposure is highest when (as in the newly filed lawsuit) the harassment and discrimination are by supervisors and managers to their subordinates.

I can.

As long as we treat money as paramount, and self-interest as the only valuable rationality, we will, as a society, continue down this road of self-destruction.

We must rediscover our sense of collective responsibility if we are to avoid serious calamities within our lifetimes (at least, for those of us who are still no more than about middle-aged).

A software container is a bit more than a binary or a software package. It also includes the dependencies and the required files. It’s not only a .jar but a .jar with a compatible JVM with the compatible dependencies.

I don’t think that it uses virtualisation on windows or Mac is very bad. I think that it’s an advantage for simplicity that everything is Linux (I pretend that windows containers do not exist).

I began programming "late" in life (around age 30), and was initially confused at the number of programmers in their mid-30s who decide they are too old to program. Eventually, I came to the conclusion that, while they expected to feel like they didn't know what they were doing when they began programming at age 15, they somewhere along the line expected to never feel that way again.

Inevitably, technology changes, and at some point you have to learn a new language, programming paradigm, database, or what-have-you. One feels again that one does not know what to do, at first. It's rather like feeling stupid. I have become able simply to say to myself, 'ah, yes, that feeling again, it shall pass in time', and just keep working at it (whatever 'it' is that year).

If you haven't felt like you don't know what you're doing in many years, your programming career has stalled, and I believe you should seek out a new skill to learn that makes you feel stupid while learning it, pronto. It takes practice to remain calm while having that feeling, and if you haven't had it in years you might let it panic you into thinking you can no longer program.
I take exception to the idea that the legal choice implies it being the moral one. Legality seems to me to be more of the bare minimum expectations and actively avoiding doing the wrong thing (don't kill people) rather than doing the right thing.
Curious which countries. Fwiw, in the US, you can pull up a lawn chair and watch someone drown instead of offering them any assistance (not saying that is moral). Legal liabilities have been explored including the case where a person is pulled from a burning auto accident and the act of saving them caused back injuries and paralysis. Cue Good Samaritan laws to protect would-be do-gooders but also the acknowledgment that there is no legal liability to act (aside from designated first responder types).

I’m a startup founder where most of our employees are based in India. I don’t condone this move by Razorpay. However, as someone else pointed out, the legal process in India is not robust, and it is biased toward people in power. Here are some constructive ways to avoid situations like this:

1. Register your company outside of India. The US is an excellent option because of the solid legal framework.

2. Encrypt the data. Ask for access from your customers, even for your own support teams.

3. Use international companies for services whenever possible.

It would be great to have a regular process to delete old data if you don’t need it for business purposes, and this is hard to do because you could develop an innovative way to add customer value using the old data you don’t know of today.

sub in this context means literally, physically below (or "inside" can also could for the sea, given in English this is the idiom) - but it can also mean small, lesser, or diminutive - it is far from unambiguous.

Marine can mean the sea, but also things associated with the sea.

Nearly all words are somewhat metaphorical, idiomatic - we just learn what those idioms are.
