It's "only about the CCP" except Chinese scientists, Chinese engineers, Chinese students and other ordinary Chinese people are declared "linked to the CCP" without evidence, thereby destroying their lives.

This includes citizens with connections to Taiwan, Hong Kong, and long-standing Chinese diaspora communities in Southeast Asia": https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/12/02/1040656/china-in...

And even if it's only about CCP, how does that justify not basing accusations on facts? I do not at all oppose you having legitimate grievances against CCP. I do oppose false grievances with no basis in reality, against any party.

Yeah, I used it a fair bit on the CPC.

There was huge amounts of CP/M software, much of it distributed for the CPC by "public domain libraries", who'd send you a disk of stuff by post for a small fee. (I ran one such!) But, to be frank, it was a minority taste because there were often faster, more graphical native programs available - i.e. running under the CPC's ROM-based firmware. For example, why would you use a CP/M wordprocessor when you could use Protext? Why would you use a CP/M assembler when you could use Maxam? And so on.

So CP/M programs on the CPC tended to flourish in areas where there wasn't much decent native software. Comms programs, for example - dialling up to a BBS, or even running one. (There were a couple of BBSs run on CPCs using the ROS software under CP/M.) Languages other than BASIC or assembler. Compression/archiving.

CP/M was a bigger thing on the Amstrad PCW because it didn't really have native firmware, and because the hardware was closer to a decent CP/M machine.

The article starts with the anecdote that his son was seriously annoyed by the song - and then goes on to counter him with basically "but it's such a great song, it would be a shame if I could only listen to it for 3 minutes!"

I don't think he has at all. Not that I knew much about him before a few years ago but his companies are doing well and actually creating interesting things which really is a breath of fresh air from the tiresome old ad-tech garbage from the overhyped surveillance-capitalism industry. From an interview I saw of him walking around his rockets talking about things he seems quite thoughtful and interesting and very open, also a breath of fresh air from the scripted and PR-managed execu-speak CEOs and billionaires of today.

He may not be a genius, may not even be a nice person at all, but surely you're not fooling yourself that other billionaires and CEOs who let their PR firms manage their image are what they appear either.

Ask HN: My friends house burnt down; Instagram banned him; what can he do?
I expect this is nothing new, but it's just another example of a dystopian AI world

when he tries to login he gets the message:
"You have been banned because you have violated community guidelines. You may not appeal because we have already reviewed the decision"

What really did happen is that a fundraiser was made for him, he started to post pictures of the fire and get a lot of engagement and this likely triggered Instagram spam filters

[link redacted] pretty clearly that's what happened

What can he do now?

Please if you work at Meta or similar tech companies consider the impact your AI policies have on real world people.
Most "attrition" figures are based on average tenure in exponentially growing companies like Amazon or Google. Real attrition is much lower than those figures.
It is not intrinsically bad to modify an idea, it is bad to take an idea that is meant to improve people lives, then twist it so that instead its concepts are used so that corporations can make more money, while pretending it still improves the people lives.
I am a fan of this talk. Working on the sysadmin/devops/sre side of enterprises, I originally found the transition from manual installs to things like puppet and then to docker containers and surrounding tooling refreshing. Building your own services, monitoring error budgets, and all the other principles like infrastructure as code seemed to be “the way”. I have recently become severely disillusioned. On the development side, one need only spend time in the JavaScript ecosystem to get a taste of some of the worst of the baggage we are building for ourselves there. You could spend more time learning toolchains than writing code. On the infrastructure side, it seems we never bother to deploy even a dead simple web service without a full build out of a multi-region Kubernetes setup with ci/cd services, secrets services, auth services, logging, monitoring, pipelines for the data stores and image builds, networking, etc.

At a certain scale these things seem necessary. But I’ve had the most success actually getting things done with small, competent teams where I replaced many different tools with as few as possible. For example I recently turned a complex spinnaker setup into a set of bash scripts that perform helm installs. It makes debugging, knowledge share, and development of the “system” so much easier. Why was the choice made originally, what features does it lack, there are tradeoffs certainly. But I feel we as an industry are losing the thread somewhere.

I often see people holding up StackOverflow and their few servers model as a bastion of sanity. I see them say, “I could run your whole company’s SaaS stack on a single box with systemd”. While I find it hyperbolic, more and more I am considering this not just a casual topic but a vital one.

Sometimes I find people asking - what about disaster recovery, high availability, scalability? When what we need is to slow down and ask, does it work? Is it usable? Or we’re so focused on isolation, deploying security tooling, the systems get complex, and no one understands them to the point they seem much less secure.

Simplicity seems key. Sticking to as few tools as possible, at lower levels, and only growing or adding as really well thought out requirements arise. This isn’t exactly what Johnathan Blow was talking about (abstraction and losing knowledge) but feels strongly related to me.
Started with Trump lol people have been talking about China Debt Trap since early 2000.

People have been critical of the CCP massively since Xi took power and started causing conflicts with all neighbouring countries with his power push.

Please lol blaming trump lol that’s funny on a whole new level.
The counter-argument they would give is that you get to use the site/service, thus, that is your consideration -- of course consideration for both parties has to be balanced/equivalent. Thus, the "consideration."

But contracts also require both parties to explicitly acknowledge them and understand them -- thus e.g. modifying in secret a contract before signing will just offer a cause for invalidation and fraud to be brought up etc. EULAs are hilarious in this respect that it is an open secret that only a few devout users read them or even skim them.
Yeah, the situation is far worse than the Oxycontin scandal alone, which is really just the tip of the iceberg and is not an outlier situation with this industry:

You should start being a lot, lot more suspicious of claims made by Big Pharma, and start holding them actually accountable for their very real crimes. Anything less is complicity with an industry well-known for exploiting the pusher/junkie equation.

I guess just like the move to televisions that are not tuned with capacitors, or planes not flown by mechanical linkages and are now fly-by-wire (or cars for that matter), we continue proceeding into the age where you cannot get something to work anymore (or fix it) with just a screwdriver and other mechanical tools. Not that a SLR or DSLR was operated or fixable purely mechanically anyway... but still.
In high school in 1980 we had Commodore PETs. They had no tangible OS, just a BASIC interpreter in ROM. There was an easter egg that made it say Microsoft or wasn't it spelled MicroSoft? Either way a company nobody had ever heard of.

CP/M had the aura of being something for real pros. Read some journal articles and it looked really complicated. But without suitable hardware I had never any chance to touch it.

That sounds pretty accurate.

Let me add here something that was maybe not mentioned clearly in the comments:
Time is an important ingredient of good code reviews.

If the team members have their capacity allocated fully then there is no time to do proper code review. Thus code review is ignored as much as possible or it is seen as time lost from the project. Will also transfom the code review into an action that will be superficial.

Before fixing everything else you must first understand if the team has time to do code review. That means that the expectation is not that they should produce the same output but also do code reviews. If this is the case then the team does not have time for Code Review.

And only after there is time for this, you should go into fixing/improving the process.
Because nobody has written that code. There have been some work on this but nobody has finished it since it requires a quite large refactor of PostgreSQL.

I once had a cofounder leave my company on bad terms. He had access to the bank accounts, I had email admin.

It took me 5 seconds to get full bank account access and lock him out with access to his email ("forgot password").

It's astounding how much of a skeleton key our inbox has become. This community doesn't need reminding, but our families do.

I'm not on the receiving end, but to me this seems like the law is behind reality. Micropayments are coming, perhaps using blockchain, perhaps not, probably in a number of different ways.

I guess this is a good question for the hosts of the podcasts that use these features (Like Linux Unplugged, and other shows from Jupiter Broadcasting or the No Agenda show by Adam Curry and John Dvorak.) Perhaps this is not answered yet.

In the Netherlands this only becomes relevant over a certain amount, and I think you can then just bundle all amounts. But I'm also not sure.
Sigh. How many times does it have to be stated: facial recognition is not authoritative! Using facial recognition for authentication is flat out wrong, a face image is too game-able, and to make it strong enough not to be spoof-able the in-system expected users will be rejected when they undergo ordinary human facial variation.

I was principal engineer of a leading enterprise FR system through 3 generations of the product, and I have global patents in the technology. This application of FR is flat out wrong and probably illegally fraudulent, because these people must know this technology cannot do what they claim!
This is an extremely good analogy that I must remember (if case anyone quotes this myth to me again, which hasn't happened in a couple of decades... :)

I like how tangible passwords are. Even with a password manager I can write them on a piece of paper, store then in a vault and enter them into a new computer. My grandmother understands this process.

The key-based systems are basically magic. Magic that works great as long as you are inside the defined parameters on supported devices. I think it will be years after the "first baked release" before we see relatively user friendly manual backup and restore. Something this is second nature in most password managers.
> Do the rules of religion prohibit molding any religion to serve any purpose? What rules?

Quite obviously yes. The purpose of Christianity is to serve God or something like that. You cannot change it to serve God and Elon Musk as you cannot have other gods.

>Your religion can be anything you want it to be.

Well yes but it will be your own personal religion, not a religion that is shared by anybody.
Margaret Atwood is a terrible writer. If you're going to put someone next to Wells for mastery of the craft, that should be P.G Wodehouse. I would add Jerome K. Jerome to the list, also.

Then of course there are master storycrafters in SF like James Tiptree Jr., Cordwainer Smith, Ted Chiang, Clifford D. Simak, Robert Heinlein, Poul Anderson, Brian Aldiss, Fredric Brown, Theodore Sturgeon, and others I'm forgetting. And H.P. Lovecraft, Ambrose Bierce, Clark Ashton Smith, R. E.

Good thing it wasn't analysis paralysis. The conclusion of the analysis was "the question is badly worded" and from the way he worded his original reply it seems like he understood what they were aiming for

That is an (small) indication of smart

Sounds to me like just an oversight. If what experience I have with public institutions is worth anything, it just didn't occur to the people who designed the question that the wording was shit and that to arrive at the intended answer you have to be loose with the meaning of words. That does not reflect well on American po-pos

Also, a DMCA claim has (in theory at least) some recourse for filing false claims. Google's ContentID system however doesn't, at least not in any material sense, so why not file false claims? There is no legal repercussions, and the damage which can be done to your competition is well worth the minor bad press
Surely you understand my overall point. The concept of PTO doesn’t apply because PTO in the US includes sick leave. Most European countries carve out that separately. The word is not used in Europe and exclusively an US import. Not only is the term not reflective of the situation, it’s ambiguous and an acronym that’s US specific. So better to use a word that isn’t. Europe has vacation and sick leave. That’s how it works. US citizens can adapt to local terms which are better for a specific context. It’s just that easy and better.
Yes, that's how I usually explain programming to someone unexperienced with it. A computer programming language is usually more strictly defined, but depending on compiler and architecture results can differ in computer progamming as well.
That would not work for a number of reasons, the first one being the fact that virtually every service now uses HttpOnly cookies for session management (to make it harder for e.g. XSS injected code to steal sessions). In addition to that session cookies are usually rotated very frequently, with servers occasionally updating them even if you stay logged in; it goes without saying that if you log out and back in you will almost surely get a different session token each time.
> Disagreeing means being incredulous.

> That is what makes it feel like outrage.

You need to clam down, and reflect on the concept of nuance. People can disagree and express alternate ideas without being outraged. Not being 100% behind something does not imply complete incredulity about it. Not every counterpoint in a discussion is a personal attack.

> “no one could possibly need that warning”

Unless someone has said that to you in a PM or other message we can't see, you are imagining the argument being put forward because it has not directly been said, nor intentionally implied, in the rest of the public thread thus far.

> If you’re downvoting

No downvotes from me, and there can't have been many from elsewhere as your posts colour did not go gray (it has now, several hours later, but not before the “why is _everyone_ so _angry_ at what I said” comment). Downvotes without explanation can be safely ignored IMO: I take them as meaning “someone is upset that I'm right and/or they lack the presence of mind to express their counter view as a valid discussion point”, and I move on.

Yes.

I've had this happen with various Ace Attorney soundtracks[1]. The best bit of advice I found to beat the earworm was to play the song to the end in my head. Which didn't help a bit, because every song on those soundtracks has a loop point.

New open-source model that dwarfs GPT-3 aims to free AI from Big Tech labs
CP/M was the popular operating system that IBM wanted to license for their skunkworks Personal Computer project. But the founder of Digital Research, the company that developed CP/M, was more interested that day in going flying his plane than meeting with corporate men in navy suits. (This may be apocryphal.)

IBM turned instead to their second choice, a small company that was supplying BASIC interpreters to many 8-bit micros. The company didn’t actually have a suitable disk operating system product, but the founder knew someone who did. He made a deal to license the source code for a fixed fee and no limitations on redistribution. And that’s how Bill Gates acquired MS-DOS for $50k.

Double-check what happened in 1971. FDR took the US off the gold standard in 1933. From this point forward until present, there was never again domestic convertibility of notes for gold. Nixon ended Bretton Woods (which started in 1944) - but that pertained solely to international convertibility of notes for gold in foreign exchange. It was not the gold standard. It was occasionally referred to as the 'gold exchange standard.'

It's just popular to ascribe this to Nixon because you know, Nixon bad. Watergate, etc. But not everything a bad leader does is bad - Nixon gave us the EPA too. Stopped rivers catching on fire and everything.
