I mean that's the "revenge" school of thought, but there's two others; "rehabilitation", where people are re-educated otherwise, and the more difficult one... why do people steal in the first place?

In practice it'll be things like poverty, lack of other opportunities, etc. Give people an education, gratifying jobs, a purpose in life and crime will drop.

This bill has a ton of what looks like awesome elements inside it, I encourage folks to peruse the summary to explore a little bit. One part that people here may find exciting is the fusion research funding:

> Sec. 10105. Fusion Energy Research.
Subsection (a) amends section 307 of the Department of Energy Research and Innovation Act (42 U.S.C.
18645) by authorizing $50,000,000 per year for FY 2023 through FY 2027 for research and development
of fusion materials. It extends the authorization for inertial fusion research and development, alternative
and enabling concepts, and the milestone-based development program through FY 2027. It authorizes the
establishment of at least two national teams to develop conceptual designs and technology roadmaps for a
pilot fusion plant, and authorizes $35,000,000 for FY 2023; $50,000,000 for FY 2024; $65,000,000 for
FY 2025; $80,000,000 for FY 2026; and $80,000,000 for FY 2027 for these activities. It directs the
Secretary to establish a high-performance computation collaborative research program and an associated
innovation center in high-performance computing for fusion. It directs the construction of the Material
Plasma Exposure Experiment including $21,895,000 for FY 2023 and $3,800,000 for FY 2024 to carry
out the project. The subsection also authorizes an upgrade to the Matter in Extreme Conditions endstation
at the Linac Coherent Light Source.
I'll make a gif for it thanks, it was trying to show how incremental learning work( in this case, incremental reading)
I graduated a semester late…from MIT. Had I stayed on the planned trajectory I would have graduated on time and worked in a relatively boring job at either Booz, Hewlett-Packard, or Texas Instruments making a pittance. Instead, I came across Vistaprint, which offered 50% more salary, later joined startups, and am now in my current role at Stripe.

I am quite fulfilled by my work, past and present, and my income/wealth are greater than I ever imagined. This is all because I screwed up one semester when I only took two subjects, and had to stay an extra semester. That semester was the best $15K I ever spent!
This was clearly a jab that went over the heads of a lot of folks. Thanks for the cheap guffaw.
Okay, this makes me feel better about having opted for local anesthetic for my vasectomy.

When I had my vasectomy, the doctor told me that it was a quick procedure that really didn't need general anesthesia, that local was fine.

When the procedure started, at first I only felt some tugging, no pain at all. But after they finished the first half and started the second, the anesthetic was completely worn off. The pain was excruciating. I almost vomited and I almost passed out.

Afterwards, the doctor told me that was fairly common and that they don't tell people about it because they don't want to "scare them off".

So I definitely don't think I was given the chance to give informed consent. But maybe I am not quite so angry about it, now that I've read this article.
Our product is blocked from accessing text fields like password and credit card number fields (you can see this because Grammarly clearly does not activate in those fields). You can see what Grammarly is processing by the presence of the Grammarly widget, and you can turn Grammarly off at any time if you don’t want it to check a particular piece of text. It works where you want it to work to provide writing suggestions to you, which I understand just may not be for you (and that's OK).
Interesting to see many technical comments...

I have one, and will update the firmware. Pardon my dumb comment - guessing whether they implemented some kind of upgrade where it has option to connect to wifi...
> He’s just trying to make a quality comic book, no explicit message. That’s portrayed as “anti-woke” because not putting The Message front and center is a revolutionary act, these days.

This is extremely interesting to me for a couple of reasons. The use of "these days" here makes me think that you consider comic books with a political message (or Message, as you spell it) are a new phenomenon. That's deeply ahistorical; the first superheroes - among them Superman, Wonder Woman, and Captain America - were created in the 1930s with pretty clear political agendas. Captain America's would, I hope, be obvious; he was created by American Jews who wanted to portray the fight against fascism, and specifically Nazism, as patriotic and righteous. Superman, too, was created by American Jews, and has periodically been portrayed as anti-Communist and generally anti-authoritarian throughout his entire existence as a character. Wonder Woman was created in the 1940s by a polyamorous triad of outspoken feminists, and her creators explicitly stated at the time:

> Not even girls want to be girls so long as our feminine archetype lacks force, strength, and power. Not wanting to be girls, they don't want to be tender, submissive, peace-loving as good women are. Women's strong qualities have become despised because of their weakness. The obvious remedy is to create a feminine character with all the strength of Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman.

Superhero comics without significant, explicit political messaging are rare in the history of the medium. Popular ones are even moreso.

The problem is there isn’t any broken glass here. No judge is stamping this, and I see no duty to warn the customer about what device and data was accessed, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to opt out ahead of time. This removes a lot of checks in the name of expediency.

advcpmv: A patch for GNU cp, mv to add progress bars
I've tried quite a few notes apps, Standard Notes is the one I always end up going back to. Obsidian is a solid choice though. The main issue I have is that notes apps always try to grow into full-on documentation or collaboration platforms. That's not only unnecessary, but it always over-complicates the most basic operations which is what you do most of the time.

Some of the time, I am tempted to go back to my original system which was just a local git repo full of Markdown files and opening the folder in Atom / VS Code.

The main reason I use Standard Notes at all is the encrypted backups to email and sync across devices. I don't think there's much more functionality required other than a decent Markdown editor for note-taking.
I've followed the progress and I must say I am happy to see this out there!
Looks really cool!
"By using hulu at all you're explicitly opting into reality."

I pay for the ad-free tier. I guess you can "opt out of reality" after all.

And there's no real reason why a company can't exclude specific types of ads its customers are likely to find (particularly) annoying.
Broadcasters is a specific terminology referring to companies that broadcast on airwaves licensed from the federal government and have thus agreed to stipulations based on that license.

If broadcasters weren't limited in that way, a private company would be leveraging federal government resources to selectively broadcast speech by some politicians but not others, which sounds like a freedom of speech issue that warrants concern as well in my book.
Other comments from X-Istence, vlovich123, and buzer are correct. If our apps/admins can get to client data, using their keys does not help to mitigate any plausible attack vector. If we become hostile or compromised, their data is toast anyway. Adding this technical control increases friction and makes the overall system more rigid/brittle but does nothing to increase security. Hence "security theater".

Other examples of such meaningless-and-impotent controls in infosec include "must run a firewall on your Linux server on a private subnet", and any policy requiring password complexity/rotation. But as a business, it's more productive for us to just tick the checkboxes than to spend resources on educating the market about the actual best practice (unless you're in the business of education).

Camera software is an area that is frustratingly closed off, and where manufacturers regularly differentiate new/more expensive cameras with firmware differences: subject detection, auto focus, drive modes (pre-capture, higher frame rates, etc), file format support (HEIC, compressed raw, colorspaces), ui features (how custom modes work, menu systems, etc).

Competition in this space driven by a provider that doesn't have a motive to convince users to buy the next new camera (ie: open source software) would be very useful to users.

Sony and Panasonic cameras (and perhaps other manufacturers) are running Linux (and release some of the third party source code they include in their products, but the amount of reverse engineering that has been done on those camera's software.

Canon uses a custom RTOS (DryOS), and lots of work has been done to extend the existing Canon firmware to enhance its capabilities (Magic Lantern[1] and CHDK[2]), but as far as I know fully open software for these devices doesn't exist.

Camera capabilities these days are highly software dependent, and the functionality of dedicated cameras is held back by subpar software development practices and a lack of pressure to make things better.

Broadcasters trade these rules for exclusive access to the radio spectrum. We all agree to not broadcast overtop them and they agree to equal access. The internet doesn’t play by these rules.

I'm generally not looking to organize my thoughts. I'm looking to record my conclusions and ideally some way to see the history of that.

I too often feel like my brain is like Twitter/etc. I read an article, but summarize it heavily and forget the rest. I want to A: record the summary, so at least i don't forget that, and B: ideally record a few facts that lead to that summary-conlusion-thing. So if i have to rethink my conclusion i'll know what source material it came from.
Great job. If I ever figure out how to get a non-bot conversion rate > 0.0% I'd love to try this :) Twitter is a mystery to me.

We were riding go karts as part of a friend's bachelor party. I had a hard time fitting in the kart and mine was noticeably slower than the rest. My nerves were on edge and my heart was palpitating the whole time we were driving. I had always been overweight, but up until then I was able to tell myself that it had never kept me from doing anything I wanted to do. That was the kick in the pants I needed to see how my inattention to my health was limiting me and directly lead to losing over 150 pounds.
While I agree that there are definitely some cautionary tales regarding microservices, consistent and autonomous delivery across many teams with a complex monolith is equally if not more difficult than some of the cons that come with microservices.

I don't think the answer is as easy as "you don't need microservices". I think the answer is "you can effectively use both".
A sampling of things my lovable labrador has barked at over the last 48 hours:

- Birds

- Packages being delivered

- My neighbor, who he knows well, working in their back yard

- Me banging a door closed too hard

- A neighborhood cat taunting him on the sidewalk

- My kid dropping a toy on our hardwood

- ??? (He was barking at a closet door)

- Anytime I touch the hook where his leash hangs

- etc.

Still, love having his big bark around, even if when someone actually broke in he’d immediately befriend them.
There's a certain inflection point where it's just better to build your own tools.

I understand your point and I kinda agree, but this is really a long-term project, particularly the standard.

This is based off the idea that browsers might die, but HTTP will live on.

The same principle applied here, this tool in particular might die out and rot, but the standard/protocol will live on!
Yea. IMO, microservices are usually more of an organizational solution than a technical solution
I saw a rather comical sign posted in the first-floor window of a Philadelphia apartment. It had a silhouette of a German shepherd and text beneath, which read:

If I’m understanding correctly, this switches your profile on some interval between A and B, whereas a proper A/B test will randomly bucket a user to experiment A or B.

Not that it matters - this solution is probably the right way to go without building something into Twitter itself - but the more data/stats oriented folks may be confused or irked by calling this “A/B testing”
Well… yeah, do your research, it has non-trivial dangers to it. :) Definitely start with mild steel and or aluminum. Stainless steel is something you would graduate to with correct PPE (fume extractors, adequate respirators, etc.)

Topping L30 II Review (Headphone Amp)
Over time you develop a set of words that work around such limitations, finding alternatives that route around the overloading. I treat them as magic incantations when I find them.

Example: "Annotation" -- what you do when you mark up text, used to route around HTML/ Hyper Text Markup Language (which doesn't allow you to annotate anything)
So essentially, the problem you're addressing is not whether either side is "shrieking" but rather the inadequacy of conveying tone through text.

WE CAN A LITTLE BIT I GUESS!?!!!?!?!!

But not by much. Never been a fan of English because of the lack of overt tonal expression; with gusto.
Great job, I also like the layout of your site to show it off.
Weak data protection helped China attack US Federal Reserve, report says
It seems to me like you (and OP) are trying to police what is and what isn't acceptable criticism.

Why is criticism of company policies "shrieking", but criticism of criticism not?

Or to go a level further, why is my criticism of his criticism of their criticism a "rhetorical cheap trick", but your criticism to the power of four presumably legitimate?

Is this fifth level of criticism a "rhetorical trick"/"shrieking" too? And will your potential riposte be legitimate again?
Then you might want to read the linked article and not the headline, because CNET asked that question and... got an affirmative response, that Google will try to notify users whose data has been shared.

I am not a lawyer. But, there seems to be a pretty clear difference here. If you have time to ask google you have time to call a judge. If you don’t have time to call a judge, google doesn’t have time to vet your decision and is effectively just streaming your cameras to your law enforcement office.
Yes it's very funny how much overlap there is between people who value scientism and people who enforce static usage rules as if they are objectively correct.

Among the people whose area of scientific study is the use of language and how it conveys meaning, and especially how and why it changes over time, you will not find very many hard prescriptivists. It's not wrong per se it's just not a very useful model in most contexts.
Oh absolutely - totally agreed about folks who’s jobs this is or who’s revenue it represents. I am more flabbergasted by the “boycott” from normal customers who are apparently outraged they won’t be seeing ads they already agree with.
That makes a lot of sense when you have real team (and most importantly) process boundaries. Isolate the code and deployment aligned with your team and process boundaries.

But if you're a company of 10-20 people all pretty much working on the same code? Microservices just adds complexity and overhead. Deployment, telemetry, documentation, version synchronization, tracing -- everything becomes more complex when you start creating boundaries between sub parts of your system.

For me, microservices are about boundaries. The question is what benefit that boundary provides for the team. For large companies where there are many discrete teams following different processes and release cadences, microservices might be worth the overhead. For small companies, it is wasted effort.
I came to look into the role based on the advice of a current PM I know at a mid-size tech company. I've also been talking to others in UX/UXR and Customer Success.

Those conversations did support the transferable skills argument for education>PM though I'm currently in the interview pipeline for a position as a Solutions Architect (which, in actual responsibilities, is somewhere between PM and Customer Success and not at all in line with job postings for SA at other companies). Thanks.
> Also this fascination with NYC and it's trash situation is such a tired and frankly disingenuous dig at the city

If only trash was the only issue.

Walk around Chinatown on hot days and you can smell the fish juice the stores dump into the streets/sidewalks baking in the sun. Then yes, you have the huge piles of garbage bags on the streets everywhere.

But really what I was referring to was the infestation in many buildings of some combination of mice, rats, cockroaches, and bedbugs. This includes Manhattan and the outer boroughs and includes buildings where you're paying $3k/month to rent a tiny apartment.

The rat problem in UES is particularly bad. They're everywhere.

Of course there's the homeless pee all over midtown that you get to randomly get a nice whiff of as you're walking around. Or the upscale neighborhoods where everyone owns a little dog (so there are hundreds of them on the same small set of sidewalks) covered in pee every morning.

I'm actually amazed that anyone who's lived in the city would deny that it's filthy, it's so obvious to me that I didn't expect that to be controversial.
Oh, have you seen the forms the cops fill out to do the data request? Or are you theorizing?
