True. There have been benefits as well. And that's also part of the rub. We want the good without the bad.

But we were getting better about a lot of that stuff even without the level of communication we have today.

We stopped lynching people for "miscegenation" long before the internet. We stopped arresting people for being gay before Facebook.

I wouldn't call storming government buildings all that chill.

And look at what's happening. We've overturned Roe v Wade and they made specific mention of other decisions that affect gay marriage. We are on the road back to making being gay illegal.

You can have too much of something.

You are assuming you only have 2 choices, single-family home or apartment. That's a very American perspective because most of America only allows those two but in a proper city you have townhomes, duplexes, casitas, bungalows and many more options that aren't just apartments. However, most of American is zoned exclusively for single-family homes and not mixed-use so like the parent comment said, you don't get benefits of proper density which includes many home types.
Hah tried to post this and it didn't work, glad for the confirmation. Not sure if its the right place to look, but https://stackstatus.net/ is also not working for me.
Yeah, that's just an unsubstantiated rumour and doesn't even make sense. Stadia updated their ToS literally a few days ago with clarifications around payments, asking for a refund on recently bought games (to align with EU rules), etc. Why would they do that if they plan on shutting the service within a month?

You picked some outlier cows that live on freshly burnt rainforest. That’s not representative either, that’s the hyperbolic extreme.
To go against the grain somewhat, I think distance is an overrated factor in regard to its impact in preventing US passenger rail adoption.

I think the most overlooked factor is poor intra-city transit and lack of mixed use density in our city cores.

I recently traveled to Germany on business, a few nights in Berlin then took the ICE inter-city train to Munich.

The ICE train dropped me off at the main station in Munich—my hotel was 7.3 miles driving from the main station. I was able to jump on the u-bahn and with a quick transfer at Odeonsplatz get to my hotel in half-an-hour including a 10 minute walk from the train station.

Door to door from Berlin to the hotel in Munich was 05:00 hours. If one were to drive, maps says 361mi/580km traveled if driving direct with a drive time of 05:30.

For comparisons sake, let's take a hypothetical trip from Dallas Union Station to Apple's engineering headquarters in Austin, TX 14.7mi/24.6km from the Austin train station.

According to Apple Maps, taking public transit would take 09:00 hours. Driving direct from Dallas Union Station to Apple HQ in Austin is 187mi/300km in total with a drive time of 03:00.
So much this. My hair thinned out and I shaved my head. I think I look fine, but I'd jump at the chance to get my hair back so I'm not cold all the time. Wearing a hat or a toque all the time looks worst of all.
It seems when it comes to cloud storage, you best bet is going with a company who's main product is cloud storage, and not just an afterthought or value-add like it was for Amazon.

Or build your own NAS is you have the time and experience.
System recovery should comprise of two distinct and separate components:

- a simple, hardened and vetted “handler”

- the upgradable components

RedHat now chose to combine the two.

And RedHat’s current approach is just now muddling security boundary between the two as my experience shows. This is not new trend but a constant battleground that I have personally fought alongside over many RedHat distros since 1998.

After all, their customers are overwhelming them for ease of use of system recovery, as well as for security against persistence malware.

But you cannot do both. That’s why Intel is taking another stab at TPM/ME.

While Intel is reworking, the current and prudent thing to do is to lockdown the /bin (expand initramd mountings, and I think this should include a separate /usr mount so that / can be mount read-only for one mission profile and /usr be mount read-only for another)

Of course, in these days and age, the best security is for /bin to be in a flash partition that is protected by a hardware switch, for /bin not to have any network tools/access, and for ME to be totally disabled (and if Intel ME cannot be disabled, then to never, ever use the management Ethernet port that ME is tied to).
I respect "tactical" products and sort of look for them purely for functional reasons: they tend to be more durable, aren't laden with logos, and are relatively neutral in color and appearance. They are very functional in general, and I've purchased them.

Having said that, I've been puzzled by the "tactical" label. It used to be that the tactical label just meant it meant some durability requirements and was free of logos or advertising. Now it's really vague and sometimes does come with military functions that no one in civilian life would really care about, but sometimes just seems to be a sort of... cultural signifier? Kind of like how traditional camo started showing up everywhere? People I know have started discussions because they're not even sure what "tactical" means anymore.

So I think it's fair to ask why that particular label, or any label at all. It used to be you could just go to a brand and expect quality and no-nonsense characteristics. There are plenty of brands like that but they're harder to find. So why the police-military association in particular?

I guess I had a different reaction to it, which is that it's about time someone asks what is going on with this "tactical" label. I don't think it's necessarily a cultural distaste issue, it's something that's a little weird to a lot of people, even to people who buy this stuff. I don't know that I think it's a good or bad article, it's just an important question to ask. And if you're being complete in exploring the question, I think it's fair to ask about cultural climate and so forth, because language is cultural.

Another way I look at it is this: "tactical" has become sort of a useless term to me because it's overused. How did it get this way?
Well, for me it's noise, power/heat and shock resistance (in laptops). And these have also indirect negative consequences. For example, an external 3.5" HDD needs an additional power supply and cable in addition to the data cable, which is cumbersome and reduces portability.
Actually the US has the worlds most efficient train system: https://www.masterresource.org/railroads/us-most-advanced-ra...

For long hauls, we use our RRs to move freight and airlines to move people. By traveling at 600mph instead of 60mph (the speed of most European train travel - intercity high speed rail is rare and expensive) I can get to anyplace in the continental US in under 5 hours from my home in Austin.

Of course 32MB of ram isn't enough to hold the frame buffer for an HD screen, let alone multiple 4K monitors.

Even if you did have all those pixels worth of memory, the idea that the CPU could reasonably render a nice crisp UI with gradients at any reasonable FPS is lauaghable.

You're talking about an era where the idea of leaving a PC on overnight and expecting it to be usable in the morning w/out a reboot was a foolish pipe dream - I discovered linux because I couldn't even get windows 95 to stay stay running for a few hours without seeing BSOD.

Point of all this being: the notion that those apps were somehow better is rosy nostalgia at best. Yes a lot of apps today suck, but so did a lot of apps back then - generally the ones that suck these days suck less, and even if they are complete trash, they almost never bring the whole OS down with them. If the cost of that is taking advantage of the fact that my computer came with 1000x as much memory, so what? That 32GB in my desktop isn't even used all the way by FS cache + games + whatever else is running, why does it matter what the number of bytes used by any single app is?
Well done. Love the use of Open AI to determine location!

I analysed similar data (gathered via a rails app that scraped Aussie data scientist jobs data every hour for 2 years: https://www.kaggle.com/code/nomilk/data-science-language-and...). Salaries were trending down (!), however, I guess it's because lucrative roles like "ML engineer", and "data engineer" no longer go by the name of "data scientist" as they have in the past.

> you’re asking someone to give you 10x or more the shares of what they have reason to think their next-best alternative is.

I don't think this is an accurate representation of my views. I'm happy to take more in the 2-3x range so long as I'm protected from the founders cashing out while screwing me out of my paper gains.

> there are plenty of other capable engineers out there who are willing to take a lower stake for a variety of reasons.

Maybe, but they can't always find them! Businesses rarely fail for one reason but maybe 1/3 of the startups that approached me and failed were bogged down by poor technical decisions made early on (what's that? your engineering lead with 3 years of experience set up a totally custom kubernetes cluster and it's slowing down your execution? Man that's rough!)
What I find sad is masses making average salary, quietly suffering in silence with their heads down and feeling ashamed for not being able to buy even common fruits in quantities as they used to just a few years ago.
>Anonymous sources providing nothing but a statement are baseless.

To the parent commenter's point, you said, "This is absolutely false". Do you have actual evidence otherwise, or are you making baseless conjecture based on, well... baseless conjecture?

I fully support you not paying those post citizenship taxes if you end up in that situation, for all the good it does you. ;)

To be clear, in case I wasn't enough above, I'm not saying I completely agree with all the specifics of the U.S. current law on what and how much to tax expats, just that on a conceptual level I don't have a problem with some amount of taxation in exchange for representation (among other things), and people that disagree with that entirely should consider what their best choice is.

Citizens have the right to vote though, so they can try to effect change like all the rest of us, and that includes efforts to change how expats are taxed.
That's crazy. Perhaps a good comparison is the channel tunnel, e.g. going from London to Paris you go through security similar (a bit less onerous) to that at an airport before boarding.

That was the case even with the UK in the EU (maybe it's not any less onerous than an airport now actually, idk) but otherwise intra-EU over land is not an issue, almost necessarily. (But then, you might think that about Canada/US.)
that's a pretty cool project!
> with cameras and transmission capabilities

I think the "transmission" part here is the real story for military applications. To get real time video further out than a few kilometers, not many nations have satellite datalink capabilities. Those that don't will be at the whim of commercial providers (Starlink for now). Otherwise, the long duration drone flight discussed here could be most valuable for aerial, orbiting, microwave transponders.
Omg, the patience the speedrunner had to have to slog through that whole thing. I'm always impressed by speed runs but this blew me away. The game is truly awful
Lost me when it said dBm is the small version of dB. The former is absolute measurement the latter is ratio and needs to be compared to something.
Absolutely false, iPhones (admittedly the more high end ones) stomp every other phone out there by a WIDE margin.

Even the camera, less megapixels but Apple has far better computational photography algos.
I think Stadia never made good of any of its real promises. Did the browser solution ever get released? I guess there were probably huge technical problems but I think that was were it truly would have found its market.

Imagine watching a game preview presentation, and instead of those stupid gameplay vods you could actually jump in and play a small demo yourself.

I know a lot of those game preview vods are faked and stuff but for some stuff (maybe indie games especially) a small real demo should still have been possible.

Furthermore that might have provided Stadia with a new income path, publishers would pay for streaming of their game previews. And consumers would have a natural interface to start using the service and maybe continue where they started on the demo.

I don't know, maybe always was a pipedream but it felt like it would have been worth a try.
I could easily imagine a self taught intern being ahead of bootcamp devs, especially if the intern spent their childhood messing with Linux or something.

100% agree that getting a job doesn't mean you're good at it - but getting paid to do programming is the easiest way to keep learning. Maybe a good way to get people improving quicker could be to give them self-contained individual projects and allow them to get stuck and solve their own problems, I don't know? I do see devs spending days asking each other for help on stuff they could probably solve if they thought hard for an hour. Collaboration is good, sure, reinventing the wheel is bad, yes - but just diving in and wrestling with a problem is good practice and (eventually) fun.

I also won't call myself an Engineer for similar reasons, though an American company did give me that job title once.
I took it as:

Prove (?), v. t.

1. To try or to ascertain by an experiment, or by a test or standard; to test; as, to prove the strength of gunpowder or of ordnance; to prove the contents of a vessel by a standard measure.

Thou hast proved mine heart.
Ps. xvii. 3.

(Webster's 1913)

Which makes sense to me. Try something you think might work, then test it—is just plain old experimental science.
There's clearly something going on, where the mass of flyover country is waking up to the reality that their overlords are abusing them massively.

Conscious realism and the cosmological polytope:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reYdQYZ9Rj4

https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.02813

According to Prof. Hoffman, this model of the universe is highly parsimonious in that it can model data from the Large Hadron Collider using a single parameter, while the best incumbent theory (quantum field theory) needs millions.

The implication is that everything we see and experience, including space and time itself, are not fundamental. The unit of reality is consciousness.

This has far reaching applications into every other scientific and non-scientific human endeavor, from neuroscience to philosophy. It's no exaggeration to say that if he's right (and he claims the math shows that he is) it may be the most important discovery in the history of humanity.

Even Albert Einstein appears to have intuited this when he wrote:

"Time and space are modes by which we think and not conditions in which we live."

Good question. I did have some hair left, but I lost enough that I felt shaving was a better option. Here's a pic I took a bit before the operation where you can see some of my surviving hair: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/olalonde/olalonde.github.c...

If I recall correctly, I had over 3K grafts. It did make a big difference.
I completely agree, but before we scare people away from blogging too much, I will say that my big problem with this post isn't the lack of knowledge, it's the willful ignorance and lack of humility. It's clear that the author doesn't really understand the position they are trying to argue against.

Definitely true if the intentions of said diva are good. Although, if they weren't then they'd probably be classified as an asshole rather than diva.
future historians would probably remember this era as post-industrialization hyper rent sucking era fueled by short-sighted govt policies, lobbyists/interest groups, and greed.
Any confidence I have in the continued existence of Google Ads comes from Google Ads persisting for several years already. That confers approximately zero confidence to Stadia. Stadia is new to Google, and that list shows that things new to Google are very likely to be cancelled. If Stadia hangs on for 20 years, then expectations will be adjusted, but that hasn't happened so it's foolish to expect it.
Why would Github take down a day? The whole point of git is that it's a decentralized VCS.

If Github goes down, you lose the actions, that sucks. But anybody in the office can make their clone of the repo into a remote that you can all share for the rest of the day. Or just keep your stuff on a local branch and push tomorrow.
Yep, the subject is almost completely unresearchable as a result. It's rather similar to the situation with the "BBC Micro Bit" which horribly polluted the search space for the original BBC Micro computer.
People saw the ugly underside of the baseball cap bill and flipped? Kindly understand that you have probably put at most 1/1000th the thought into this that I have, and that I have 15 more years of first hand corroborating evidence to follow it up with. Even a number of informal RCTs! If you don't trust me, that's certainly your right -- I'll just ask you to keep an open mind, point you in the direction of the "bad hair = bad person" Hollywood trope, and let you go on your way.

Wigs boost me into a tier of attractiveness far beyond what I was able to achieve with a hat coverup and, later, with shaving. On one hand wigs yield far better results than people realize, but on the other they demand upkeep, disclosure, and the social stigma is severe if you "get caught." I don't use them because hair systems (wig + glue -- the good ones) get nasty quickly from my workout routine, so I prefer to just go shaved. When you start losing hair, all of your compensating options have steep tradeoffs.
Forgot to shift for the percentage.
Whelp, this couldn’t have happened at a funnier time for me. I’ve been pushing for their paid solution to be used in our team for months, finally got the sign off from compliance, etc.

Outage occurs halfway through my presentation to the whole team, shortly after I’d been discussing how great it would be as a robust, highly available storage solution for our knowledge base!

Can’t help but laugh at the timing.
Thanks for the reply - makes sense. Just in the interest of sharing (not trying to make an argument here): I tried the "app only" bank account thing and didn't like it. My "fancy fintech bank account" lasted less than a year before I closed it, I think. As for checking my balance and transfers, I only do that every few weeks when I fire up my desktop banking software in order to pull all bank statements and archive them away. I don't think I've ever come across a 2FA thing that was app only (if I did, I probably would just refuse to use the service).
Amplifying your comment, this seems like a huge disconnect that they are assuming a beginner home cook is going to do everything from scratch.

> how would you learn about sushi rice, how to buy live shrimp, how to fillet the shrimp, preparing wasabi

Buy pre-filleted frozen shrimp and ready made wasabi and tips on taking regular rice to a sushi rice quality. The goal for a beginner should be the easiest path to success and with cooking that is a meal that was safely prepared. Then build on that later - like if they like spicy these are some things to try.
> they know they don't have a license to do what they're promising

Do they not? Did you read the terms for publishing a game on Steam?

I didn’t, but it’s within reason it contains a provision for just this eventuality.
There’s a lot of talk about Google abandonware here and that’s fair but this isn’t an example of that. This is an example of a dumb idea meeting it’s inevitable fate.

Two words should’ve stopped this from ever launching: input lag.

I get the spirit of being disruptive and trying hard things but some ideas are just stupid because they ignore physical limits.

Anyone remember UBeam? Apparently our still around as SonicEnergy. That too is a fundamentally dumb idea.
its a horrible proposition: pay to watch a video stream of a game you dont own that you can control with lag.

why would I do that when I can buy a game on Steam or GOG or even outright pirate it, run it on my local machine, don't need to worry about internet upstream capacity, and I can take it anywhere?

it never made any sense and will never make sense.
Changing page in the table at the bottom of the demo scrolls back all the way to the top on mobile (Chrome Android).
They probably heard the term and thought it was cool. But it must be enormously frustrating to people who are involving in making this stuff.

That said, it is possible that this could prevent Black Midi (the genre) from becoming a fad, and thus make the "scene" healthier. Sort of like a password to get into the club.
Noise? My kids make noise. With that, the difference between a house and an apartment is negligible. I love living in a nice city. Ultra convenient.

It wasn't profitable back then either, alas—which is why Facebook has repeatedly pivoted to less useful, more annoying, but more monetizable offerings.
How can you call a system "Linux" if you don't expose system operations in a file-like API?

Granted, /dev is a pretty crappy way of doing it, but /proc, /sys and (bash shim, not actually a file) /dev/tcp are what I believe expected basic functionality of modern "Linux"
