not just for families this makes it real hard to date as a 20something. all the stuff girls expect got way more expensive. i'm lucky i get paid well but not everybody got it this easy. and tbh i can't blame ppl who don't want to spend all this money on dating.
As far as the gov’t is concerned, when it’s then doing it, it’s ‘for our own good’. when it’s another gov’t doing it, it’s a national security risk.

Which shouldn’t be too big of a surprise I guess, especially since ‘national security risk’ almost always means ‘threat to gov’t security in practice’.

That won’t change unless there is some kind of disaster that makes it untenable. I mean, just look at Nuclear proliferation for a really clear example.
China is rich North Korea. Even if China were much richer than the US, it would be better to live in the US.

Swagger/OpenApi is probably the closest thing to "true REST" with self-discoverable APIs. Without some sort of common schema of where/how to look for resources, there's no real automated discovery to be had without AGI.

Turns out, a lot of places don't even want self-discovery. We shut off our openapi.json in prod because a) security b) we don't want bots messing around c) Hyrum's law, as soon as you expose an API endpoint, folks try to build against it and grumble if it chances/goes away.

Wikipedia (along with any true wiki) is, and likely forever will be, the one true REST/HATEOAS application.
ScrapingFish ... ScrapingBee?
There are only four economically viable solutions:

1) Boycott or put drastic tariffs on Brazilian meat and soy, aka the products that are made out of the areas which were former rainforest. The problem: China won't give a fuck about Western sanction and Bolsonaro and his goons will happily sell to them (aided by the fact that China still has issues with pig fever in their domestic meat production).

2) Pay off Bolsonaro and his goons. That stops the destruction, but provides a fascist dictatorship with even more money.

3) Hope for Lula to win in the elections in October. The problem: Bolsonaro may manipulate the election to stay in power, either in front (by having Lula arrested or preventing him from campaigning, public debates etc.) or afterwards (outright vote manipulation). Or he might legitimately win despite his current lag in the polls, which makes the situation even worse than it already is.

4) Have the CIA do what they have a lot of experience in: get rid of Bolsonaro and his goons, either by abducting him and hold him to trial in the US similar to drug barons or by permanently eliminating him. That would be the cleanest way and send a signal to other criminal destroyers of nature, but without a whole lot of effort the resulting power vacuum may destabilize the region even more than it already is.
The Gullible Software Altruist
There is a good talk by an economist who basically said he was all exited to learn about optimal solution to those problems and then he went to a meeting where farmer were basically fighting people who wanted to reintroduce wolf. And he realized nobody cared how the optimal solution.

Since then he works on trying to come up with solution that doesn't lead to the two groups trying to lynch each other.

Considering that TikTok is a government controlled corporation (and all businesses in China effectively are) I don't know why anyone should be particularly inclined to trust their representations on this matter if they cannot be independently verified. It is in China's national security interest to deny the existence of any of this kind of data collection and analysis, especially in China.
Incorrect. You can have an increasing segment of the population in count but the percentage of that population of the whole of the population is decreasing.
Apparently it's "Stripe verified revenue" which is based on this[0]. I imagine it's all USD but you're right that it doesn't indicate the living situation of the humans running the operation.

Parking is where they get you the most, then on top of that for out of town destinations, you would also have to rent a car. I was lucky enough to be able to walk to MLB games with my father when I was a kid. It just goes to show how valuable public transportation is, even when you're taking the bus to the movie theater, or popping on some light rail from the airport to wherever most of the hotels are.

Breakthrough Lightweight AR Eyeglasses
Yeah but isn't Exadata largely just off the shell components? At it's heart it's a high end Intel server running Linux. I wouldn't say this product makes Oracle a hardware company in the same way that Apple and Sun were. This just proves Oracle are a software company like Microsoft (ie they do dabble in hardware but it's the software that makes their margins).

I guess another way of putting it is this:

- do they build the software to sell their hardware,

- or build their hardware to sell their software.

In the case of Apple and Sun, it was the former. In the case of Oracle, it's the latter.
The Yolo7 Github has a good amount of spelling and capitalization errors. I guess they only looked once.
There are MULTIPLE factors involved in getting to a population that is high in centenarians.

The craziest gas station (and psychedelic car wash) in the Bay Area
Scientists are likely to be assessed on the basis of their general credibility, not the standing of a single paper.

Maintaining general credibility typically requires not overstating your claims, especially when dealing with sparse data.

Publishing a single paper and then making money on promoting lifestyle changes based on your discovery is not science, and would be (I would say correctly) side-eyed by many scientists. The author’s credibility is now inexorably bound up with a single statement that has been reduced to marketing.
The US is way down the list at 120 for income equality, worse than most of the "developed world". That median hides a lot in a country of over 320 million.

The United States once had one of the largest forests on Earth. The Eastern Forest covered almost everywhere east of the Mississippi. 2,560,000 km2 of forest. Now it is largely gone. Replaced with farmland and sprawl. So it is hard to criticize. Even areas that are now heavily forested like Vermont were clear cut almost entirely by the turn of the century.

The Amazon should be preserved, but to do that the world is going to have to pay. You can't tell a country you can't progress like the USA it is hypocritical.
> Could it be that some Oracle employed contributors are using a different email when submitting pull requests?

Yes, and if you contribute from an e-mail address that Greg K-H's scripts don't understand, you get an e-mail from him asking you to disclose your employer if you're willing.

Some companies mandate you contribute from your corporate address, and it is impossible to contribute from some corporate e-mail accounts, since they don't allow SMTP access for use with git send-email. For example, my understanding is that this is the reason for the linux.ibm.com subdomain, though someone at IBM can probably elaborate.

LWN's numbers are probably pretty close to accurate, as I think most people disclose. I haven't read TFA, but I guess Oracle is counting only commits to kernel/+fs/+net/ or something like that.
I'd guess the Kindle is more convenient, no waiting for a title, no late fees, and has a vastly larger selection (on average).

Plus one can put their own content on Kindle, thereby taking lots of titles on trips or elsewhere.
Millions of Americans Regret the Great Resignation
The majority of the Brazilian rainforest isn't even being razed for furniture wood. It's simply burned down to provide for one season of feeding cows for meat or to plant soy to feed the cows.

Possibly relevant: they mention "suggestive evidence" of a positive association between cheese intake and high-density lipoprotein. As it happens, I'm an avid cheese eater (especially anything in the gouda family) and also supplement with tyrosine (those crystals you find in some aged cheeses). And I have what my doctor described as "freakishly high" HDL levels, in what is otherwise a pretty boring set of blood-test numbers and a pretty typical (i.e. crappy) American diet. It really kind of stands out, begging explanation. Maybe it's nothing, or maybe there's something to this cheese/HDL thing.
> I also keep thinking, surely other industries will start paying more and treating folks better, so they can attract top talent, but nope!

In most industries, the money to pay more does not exist.

American companies dominate in software, and they are also highly profitable. Because immigrating to the US is difficult and because many people don't even want to move there, there is a shortage of software engineers in the US. Compensation is primarily driven by the domestic job market, where businesses compete for talent.

In other areas of technology, American companies are not so dominant. There is also more competition, driving the profits down. If an American business pays too much, it will get less talent for the same money. Their products will be worse and more expensive, and they will lose to their competitors.

As someone from Finland, I've been familiar with this dynamic since childhood. You hear about it in the news all the time. High wages are a grave threat to the economy, because they make our businesses less competitive.

So far as I am concerned the story with GitHub copilot is "Nothing more to see here, move on folks."

Granted people in business get a sugar rush when they see something that looks like working code generated automatically but at best it is doing the 20% of the work that seems to get you 80% of the way there except taking the bugs out of something written mindlessly is a stupendously expensive process.
The strongest argument for the US destroying South America, aside from the obvious propping up of strong men, is probably training and supporting right-wing militias to combat communism.

The effect of their existence as a power base then cascading into politics, etc.

That said, most of South America's recent woes have generally been economic (Guatamala, Venezuela), and the rise of Chavez (and the US not directly acting against his movement for decades) undercuts the "US is responsible for what happens in South America" position.

If advertisers discovered that there are more bots on Twitter than they were told (and consequently that the audience of real humans is smaller than they were told) future revenue would probably decrease.
Thanksfully, the part that suffered the biggest increase are the parts (food, drinks) that you can bring to the venue or skip (parking) by doing things wisely.
That's about an order of magnitude higher than I thought it'd be.
I'm not sure I agree with this point. What if this news article is the spark that inspires someone to hack together a solution for awareness of the issue? Or maybe create an alternative for some of the imports that the Amazon is being cut down to create? This issue may be happening in Brazil, but it affects everyone (as the forest is a major carbon sink) and can definitely be affected by others, given time.
Even Disneyland isn't insanely expensive for those who live locally - they have a "California Resident" pass to encourage locals to go during down times.

What makes it expensive is airfare and hotel added on top of the tickets.
> sliding towards having much less available energy to fund their lifestyles.

How does that look different from "needing much less energy to fund their lifestyles" (due to efficiency gains and out-sourcing)?

The UK economy has grown substantially in the past 20 years, while energy consumption has decreased:

No one in their right mind would attempt to use Ceph in place of MinIO. Yes, Ceph can provide S3 compliant object storage via the RadosGW, but the effort and footprint is not worth it for MinIO use cases. On the other hand, OpenStack Swift's all-in-one (typically used by developers) could easily be a replacement of MinIO.
Carbon Language: An experimental successor to C++
I think everything is just generally "nicer". Stadium seats are cushier, parking lots are paved instead of gravel, sidewalks are a lot wider, more air-conditioned spaces, better food availability, etc.

And people expect more exciting and high quality things now, because they have seen a lot (comparably). Someone growing up in the 1930s wasn't able to hop on the interstate and go 300 miles away for the weekend. Those growing up in the 80s were more apt to do that sort of thing, and as mobility has increased, attractions (nicer ones) have been built out over the decades. Now that person who traveled to all sorts of attractions continues to seek out new things -> bigger and better of course. More $$$.

The basic, economical attractions are still there if you look. Just think smaller scale. Instead of national parks, go to state parks. Instead of Disney, go to the state fair. Instead of Broadway, find the local theater troupe. Instead of MLB/NFL, check out summer or arena leagues. Just because you read about an attraction that seems cool, is 1,500 miles away, and is the best of breed nationwide, doesn't mean you need to or even get to experience it.
If those living in high income countries don't support poorer countries to keep their forests healthy complaining about them being chopped is hypocritical.

I live in Italy, the Po Valley I live in was a marshland with lots of centenarian trees. Since Roman times marshes have been drought and most of the forests were chopped to make room for agriculture (and to build Venice, which sits on millions and millions of trees).

I recently went to Portugal, where most forests have been chopped and substituted with huge eucalyptus or cork oak monocultures.

The same goes for France, Germany, etc.

We destroyed our environment so we could have progress. Now we understand that the environment is precious and must be taken care of, so it's up to us to pay other countries to preserve their environment. This money will eventually be used to buy "progress" and end on our pockets once again so it's not even a bad deal economically speaking, it just takes the will (which is lacking almost anywhere).
The US also has just about the richest poor in the world - so if reducing inequality means making the poor demonstrably poorer, is that a good solution?

Last I checked, poverty line in the US is at the 85th percentile in world income.

And most importantly, most of that inequality and poverty levels are what are called pre-tax-transfer: they do not account the value given the poor and lower incomes via benefits, which lowers a lot of that inequality (and makes our poor even richer than most of the planet).

For fun, pick a country that you think is better for lower income people, and let's look into it :)

Inequality is relative. Absolute income means a significant amount, even more so to the poor.
Completely irrelevant: you spelled "oops" as "oups" and now I'm imagining thats the French spelling.

Depends on where you live and your cost of living. For someone living in small town in India, even 20k per year is good. I think if you are able to create good enough income for you as an indie hacker, that is success.

So the better metric would be to find out what percentage of indie hackers are full time with their gigs and have enough to live ok.
This comment is dangerous and harmful. It only mouths a nostrum that flatters white coastal elite sensibilities--that any discussion of abortion has to be about how sexist and racist(?) opponents of it are. It presupposes that minorities are incapable of considering moral or philosophical arguments. And, perhaps worst of all, it's damaging to the cause of protecting access to abortion: insulting people only serves to validate yourself to the in-group you're signaling to, as opposed to convincing people of abortion being an important right. In a time where elections have to be won if we want to protect abortion rights, you've got to learn to make arguments stronger than "you're a white man."
this isn't just about data collection. china should not be allowed to become a tech power. producing a popular social media app with advanced machine learning counts as that. china should be allowed to produce our widgets and mind its place, we can't allow a communist country and a potential global competitor to America to advance past that.

There are really just two situations if the solution generalizes well - and if it doesn’t it might be worth just mentioning that and to move on:

1. similar open data exists, great, just publish a sample implementation

2. if not the first task is to generate such an open data set

In the Ultrasparc T2 (Niagra 2), each core had its own floating point hardware.

The wiki says that the T2 was over 10x faster than the T1 for floating point arithmetic.

"One floating point unit per core, up from just one FPU for the entire chip... Better floating-point throughput (>10x improvement)...
Better floating-point single-thread performance (>5x improvement)"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UltraSPARC_T2

The T1 and T2 were both open-sourced. I would love to have a dual-core T2 implementation on a Raspberry PI, with completely open hardware.
