During the aforementioned train ride, I cancelled my subscription to my formerly favorite online news portal (the German “Spiegel-Online”) and deleted the associated app from my iPhone. I used the initial motivation to cancel additional news subscriptions and deleted the related apps from my smartphone and iPad so that I wouldn’t be tempted.

Here is what he should have done: replaced his smart phone with a dumb phone if possible. It does not mean he gets rid of the smart phone but deactivate it. And have two computers: one for business and one for leisure and keep in different rooms. If possible disconnect the work computer from the web. That way there are fewer possible distractions. It's not enough to just remove apps. The device itself is addictive.

Criticizing a country's laws is not racist. If I dislike executions in America that doesn't make me racist towards Americans.
Is there a tool which saves on the local machine the pages which were opened? So that e.g. browser can safely be closed, and then information from those pages searched, and page re-opened if needed? I remember there were some companies specializing in desktop-wide search...
Regardless of the verification bit (which I didn't read, as it's a bit over my head), this is probably the best explanation I've read about the difference between `imp Trait` and `dyn Trait`.
it happens with CTOs. At many companies, CTO is less of a management role and more of "the leader of all of the principal engineers and source of innovation for the company". VPE reports to CTO and does the administrative side of things, CTO sets technical vision. Most other c suite type roles are generally bucketed into sales, marketing, operations, and if you are particularly unlucky: product, "Information", and human resources.
It depends on the size of that group and their sensitivity. I’ve found that consumers generally don’t think as much about it as tech people - it’s much more random than we like to think.

If your test costs 2% of newsletter receipients who were 2 emails away from unsubscribing, it might be worth it.

Since Saudis are doing so well under MBS perhaps the US should also become more energy independent and leave Saudi Arabia to arm and defend itself. Then the US will be more free to criticize the imprisonment and dismemberment of Saudi activists and US residents.
Why is this "more valid"?

I have no problem with talking about Tesla cars; nobody argues that we should be talking about Nikolai Tesla's personal car, or a car down the street that somebody spraypainted the word "Tesla" on.
That can be a very different scenario though - a family using one (or even multiple) properties as investment vehicles that they are themselves residing in (even if its just part of the year) does not seem unethical at all to me. Foreign investors who are not planning to even live on the property nor rent it out at all? Definitely a crapshoot. It is a small overall percentage of the pie but every bit counts. And giant corporations scooping up tons of single family homes and small apartment complexes is maybe even scarier.

Lets face it though - there's a separate problem and it is pretty simple - we just need more housing in places where the demand is high. Personally I think it would be especially helpful in the short term if there were big incentives for individuals to ADU's or inlaw units and things like duplexes, triplexes, or "bungalows" on one property. Easy sell for the public and would open up all of the single family home zones to much more housing and maybe even incentivize families across generations to live together again.
Compared to the iME, not much, since at least the secure enclave subsystem won't run any non-Apple code. The scary difference about the iME is that it is directly connected to the network.
The Institute for Justice (https://ij.org/) has a podcast (https://ij.org/podcasts/short-circuit/) were they regularly discuss these kinds of issues.

It is hard to summarize the situations briefly, but, essentially, the government can do whatever they want and the courts hardly ever slap them on the hands.

(IJ also _fights_ these issues in court pro bono - they are a law firm! - so supporting them looks like a good idea. disclosure: I am not affiliated with them in any form, just a podcast listener and a very minor donor)
Spoke to the founder / CEO of a wildly successful now-public (former startup) company about his exec-level hires. He confided that 1/3 of executives were net positive (i.e. should retain), 1/3 were net neutral (i.e. should be fired) and 1/3 were net negative (i.e. separate ASAP!).

Gentleman also indicated that his peers on similar trajectories were even less successful at exec hiring. So there's a point of anecdata for you: "Good" at exec hiring might just be a 33% success rate. YMMV.

The image near the top of the readme implies that compressing the whole file means not having random access, which is indeed true, but it also implies that there's nothing between whole file compression and row/column level compression, and that is not true. You could compress pages, kinda like ZFS compresses blocks, and still maintain random access, and get pretty close to whole-file compression.
... but in the military, it's generally not possible to 'fail up' into a similar role in another organization when things become uncomfortable. A clever lazy Prussian officer can't build out their resume for a couple years and then go work for the French, so they have to actually stick around and make those difficult decisions. Whereas in tech, it's not just possible but normalized to change companies with some frequency, and a lazy clever C-level exec may not stay around long enough to see the outcome of their difficult decisions.

The defamation lawsuits will be overwhelming. They don't even need to win, they can just lawyer you into submission. It's just like when you end up firing a regular employee for cause, the best course is to say nothing so nobody has a reason to get litigious.

A lot of Singaporeans are unhappy with things, especially in the younger generations. If you've spent any length of time there and talked to people it's not hard to pick up on. There's a reason the government has turned up the level of repression over the past decade.

> You won't convince someone to build a new apartment building if they can't make money.

Demonstrably false. The city of Venna Austria builds housing for people because people need housing, not because it expects to make money. This kind of thinking demonstrates a depressingly narrow view of human possibilities.

No doubt. Any number of c-levels I have worked with are prolific climbers whose numero uno skill is Network. Lords of LinkedIn. The kind of people who will say and do literally anything to keep their fingernails dug deep. Their actions appear to align with the needs of a company, so most are tolerated if not celebrated.
I think this doesn't do the intentions of the author much justice. He clearly explained how his addictions destroyed his ability to focus on any task at all, no matter how much value you place on that task.

My favorite part:

I do not believe that Big Tech should be deciding what information
individuals receive. Americans are free to opt out of whatever email
communications they wish, including political communications, but Big
Tech should not be making that decision for them. My Political BIAS
Emails Act would prohibit email services from using filtering
algorithms on emails sent from political campaigns where the candidate
is running from Federal office.

But nowhere is the ability to opt out specifically codified. I'd love to see that penalized or even criminalized, but doubt that those who would be impacted by the cost of that would choose to bear it.

Instead they choose to shift the burden to the ~45,000+ businesses that have >500 people. If this costs $1000 per company, then this is a $45 million dollar burden on the American people.

For a party that seems to be clear on being strong on limited regulation of business activities, this seems very much like a regulation that would be burdensome on many.
Can we turn it around and ask what we actually want from a (good) C-level. Cos I suspect it's not what most of us imagine.

At some point what we want from C-level is putting in place (bespoke) systems that achieve the "strategic" goals -

Is the monthly churn growing? Are you not able to get high touch sales to take off? Is the European product not ready?

All of those are the sort of "strategic" things people tend to hire CxOs for - but any good analyst can get you 80% of the way to identifying the problems, and then you have to pick a solution. At that point you are hiring someone for a very specific job with a clear roadmap. Maybe you can hire internally ?

Edit: on the other hand this article (from the frontpage) is an excellent example of hiring for a job, even though the person doing it is not going to be building the ditches etc. Walt hired for experience and focus on the job he wanted done. And as that job was going to have to be a negotiation with all the other agents building the park, he needed a high level advocate for the job (minimalmmosquitoes) he wanted

From this I suggest that hiring a CxO is hiring a person to act as advocate for the outcome you are hiring them for - very similar to politics

I agree with much of what you say. The citizenry have every right to criticize and lobby for their tax dollars to be spent differently. But it appears you've already come to the conclusion that the JSF isn't worthwhile. Put differently, what would the JSF need to show capability-wise in order to change your mind?

I would like to see us spend less in the military if it goes to better use instead. Particularly when commanders are advocating getting rid of programs and Congress keeps them anyway. The US is effectively subsidizing NATOs military capability and mitigating the blowback requires more thoughtful analysis than just slashing the budget. I'm not convinced yet that POGO are the experts worth listening to because they seem a bit out of touch (see my last comment about what they claim the availability should be vs. the parity that matters).

As one of those service members who was supported by the A10 overseas, you're right. Grunts on the ground love the sound of that cannon overhead when close air support is needed. But you are comparing the one very specialized thing the A10 was designed to do. I don’t think it’s a slight to a decathlete to point out there’s faster, specialized sprinters at the Olympics. Stray in any direction away from that and it loses the comparison miserably. Compare avionics, speed, maneuverability and munitions capability etc. (really, anything outside of the cannon) and the JSF is just far superior. In other words, if I was only allowed to have one plane in theater, it wouldn't be the A10.

I started tabbed browsing with Opera 5. It was amazing then back when I could do 50 tabs, and it's amazing now with firefox forks when I can do 500 tabs with less than 3GB of ram used (with Noscript on for most websites not whitelisted). But don't try this in a multi-process browser, not even modern Firefox can handle truly large session files like Palemoon or Seamonkey classic can.

I have saved my Opera->Firefox->Palemoon session files at least every month since 2003. I have a little perl script for converting any of their session file formats to a number of tabs (http://superkuh.com/opera-sessions-to-tab-number.pl.txt). Using it I can plot the number of tabs in my browser over 20 years. But that's just trivial visualization. I still find my old session files valuable in other ways.
It's great your browser can now scale to hundreds of tabs, but can your brain handle that many? Can you focus with 200 tabs open?

Personally, I feel much better when I close a tab, rather than leave it open. It feels like I'm freeing up RAM in my head...
Not at the moment, but it sounds interesting. It'll definitely help people feel more safe about their data.
You're right, but I assume there would be an exemption for the home you live in. That would be a great exemption too since it might be incentive for people to subdivide their home to create more dwellings.

Changing Culture
Companies make cars, people buy them, everyone knows that a car is a depreciating asset (except for current used car shortages, and certain collectible classics) but people still buy them.

This is because they are very useful.

A house or an apartment is also quite useful without being an asset that appreciates in value. The whole rental market is based on this concept.

I don't see why housing needs to increase in value to incentives people to build it.

And in Japan this is exactly the case, it's not typical for housing to increase in value in Japan.
If Intel and others could even get 7nm quality chips working that would likely be good enough for the foreseeable future.

I really want to see a proper head to head of ARM vs x86 with chips at the same fabrication scale - right now part of the reason ARM (and apples new CPU's) are leagues ahead is also just that they are on a different manufacturing process. A modern AMD processor on identical scales might actually be (somewhat) close to the power efficiency of ARM. I'm sure it would still lose but it would be interesting.
Great looking site! It took less than a minute to create a first form. Very intuitive. Just the 'Submit' button on the form create page was a bit confusing as it didn't do anything.

> The Federal Trade Commission today took action against online home buying firm Opendoor Labs Inc., for cheating potential home sellers by tricking them into thinking that they could make more money selling their home to Opendoor than on the open market using the traditional sales process.

Serious question: why are businesses like this allowed to continue after getting caught lying to prospective customers? These founders should be dragged into court and ruined over this. No excuse for this kind of behavior.

Nepotism is the favoring of friends and relatives, especially with jobs. Cronyism is, specifically, putting friends and family in positions of power.

That doesn't address the point. Think if food was an investment item, rather than just a thing farmers make to sell at a price greater than what it cost them to make it.

Similarly, why aren't houses just a thing that costs a bit more than the bricks and labor required to make them?
Sounds like you've met "Action Jack" Barker.

After one attempt at photography in high school, with a SLR and a darkroom, I decided to wait until I felt that the tech had matured enough so that I never, ever had to deal with physical film media. Reciprocity is a perfect example; when I'm in art mode (or scientific data collection), I never want to think about the nonlinearity of my sensor.
> the term came into existence explicitly to dilute the free software movement and make space for evil companies to do evil things.

It did. That has nothing to do with whether Open Source Software refers to software that uses an OSI approved license. It's the people trying to cloud a technical term with a dictionary meaning in order to be parasitic on FOSS without being FOSS who are being divisive, not people using the terms normally. Stallman isn't doing that.

> if you were to buy this then it may continue from that logic that everything covered in the article is well labelled open source.

I mean, this is just nonsense. Stallman says Open Source is bad, therefore everything bad is Open Source?

A builder is paid to build. They profit if their revenue is greater than their costs. That is certainly possible even if housing isn’t an investment vehicle.

The makers of candy bars manage to profit yet I doubt many people buy them as investments.
I remember a recent-ish study that found a strong correlation at 3 or more (or was it more than 3?) coffees in a day, but was inconclusive below that amount. I don't know what the unit of coffee was (probably standard espresso) and I unfortunately no longer remember the source.

There are a bunch of different triggers though and they vary from person to person. Coffee is one I hear very often. For me, the worst is the combination of at least two of {hunger, dehydration, physical activity}.
Shelter should be a human right. Everyone who needs housing should be able to get an apartment, for free, and landlords should have to compete against free by offering better places with nicer amenities.

Toshiba is building them, megawatt-scale, thus far. There is still engineering to be done scaling it up to GW, and it will take a lot of money to get that into volume production for the hundreds of GW-scale plants we will need, but the profits are guaranteed.
There is a huge difference between not physically locking people out of running custom software and legitimately being able to claim you support other operating systems. Requiring that a community exist that is willing to spend many years of collective time reverse engineering your products when you could have just released documentation is still a massive middle finger to everyone.

The problem with these 100% vertically integrated stacks is that every hardware release could be completely different and it'll take years to catch up with just that release. In the intervening time more hardware generations were released - It's been 18 months since the M1 release. Asahi doesn't have 3D acceleration, video encode/decode acceleration, or support for many of the things that make Apple Silicon any good (i.e. the fixed function / low power consumption hardware for the majority of user tasks). At this rate it's going to be years before it's "done" and we already have a successor generation of hardware.

I'll leave you with a quote from the Asahi docs

> Development for an undocumented platform is a treadmill of work. Every new feature requires reverse engineering the relevant hardware, writing drivers, testing those drivers, then getting them upstreamed. Even after a driver is upstreamed, maintenance and optimisation is sometimes required, for example if Apple introduce a breaking change to any firmware we are required to interface with. For developers the work is never really done

It's the same reason we don't have third-party images for most Android phones that are anything beyond tweaks of existing Android images.

Builder != Developer. The builder is a service provider and definitely doesn't finance construction.
There are 2 aspects to this. Development should absoulutely be a thing this is investment in the same way investing in a manufacturing company is investment.

Buying/building property to rent should absolutely be a thing as well. There's a service there. But the idea that i buy a house now and in 5 years it's worth more than i paid for it (relative to income) needs to die
