I agree with everything you've said. The question wasn't "is Fox accurate or reliable news?", it was "what makes Fox less official?" Official doesn't mean accurate. Fox profits from people believing what they tell them, it's just as much an authority as any other organization who benefits from convincing its followers of particular ideas. That's all I was pointing out.

It's interesting that nobody in the chain of this actually seems to care about the problem. It seems like insurance companies should have a huge incentive (and ability) to force car manufacturers to fix this problem.

Car model XYZ becomes hackable? Send all policy holders a letter letting them know that in 90 days their rates will go up by X% and to contact the manufacturer for a fix.

Why don't the insurers care?

Indeed, and again, I'm expecting you to understand that they are making this choice because they don't want to pay the consequences of it. And that "cannot" is a short way to state that.

Now, from reading your comments, I'm going to assume you are in good faith, and you simply can't see what consequences they can face.

Although we can't know for sure such things without being an expert in middle-east politics, one can understand that if two groups of people have been at odds with each others for a long time, suddenly doing business with the opposite party is going to have political consequences.

E.G: assuming you are American. If you are a republican group, you can get financed by a left-leaning institution, but this will have political consequences.

I have seen the 800k figure quoted elsewhere too. But even 80k per DAY is insane amount of money. Let’s say half of it is profit. 4M/40k = 100 days.

For the amount of damage he has caused, for the amount of pain he has inflicted - 100 days of profit as punishment is nothing.

My hope is that they clean him out of every dollar he has got. But, my guess is he’ll come out of it relatively unscathed. Even a 20M settlement might not be much to him.

There are much bigger problems though - how is he able to get such a large audience? Shouldn’t these social media companies have some responsibility? Why has it taken so long for this case (years and years) to reach the verdict stage? How is he lying freely in court, to the judge, on camera, and not facing any consequences? And so on…

I once worked at a CDN (you know, 99.9% *nix) that didn't allow Linux machines because corporate IT didn't know how to fix them and their remote cough spyware cough didn't work on them. We even told them they don't need to support us at all and we're all old school unix admins, didn't matter, corporate policy. Windows or mac.
It's not because of remote work, it's because of blue state pandemic lockdown rules, crime, high taxes, etc.

> What I don't want to understand is how Google could come so close and fail. They have 10% projects and moonshots. They have the monopoly-like income stream to fund it. But instead of creating progress, their products seem to get worse and worse.

They sell information and ads. Most of their products are targeted towards that.

And ads give the client zero added value. It's not a product, it's not a utility nor a tool.

Many of their products are oriented towards that. And it's hard to produce good inventions when your business model is basically dark patterns.

I can't give a first hand account of either, but yes Woodstock '99 was generally considered much more violent than the original, which was expressed in various ways: vandalism/looting, setting fires, rapes.

Maybe the original festival had some similar instances but the intensity and frequency of them was considered much greater in '99.

Schools are an infinite money pit. Their expenses grow to consume what is available. Likewise their expenses can be trimmed if the money is simply not available. As we've learned from pumping poorly performing schools full of money, expenditure is only loosely correlated with results.

I think it's also possible that Apple's HR did take these accusations seriously but found them to be bogus.
Historically. This year they’re facing multiple headwinds with a twice impeached albatross and the lunatic fringe cannibalizing their own.

A recession would certainly give them a “look at that other mess” diversion that all too many loudmouths would gleefully parrot.

Taiwan doesn't differentiate from PRC, they were the ROC first. The PRC named themselves after the ROC.

PRC came after when the ROC lost control of mainland China in 1949 to the communists and escaped to Taiwan.

But yes communistic names are confusing because they try to hijack existing terms and create misnomers like it's for the people.
I've been to several big festivals and they were run just fine, I didn't see anything I hadn't also seen on busy streets in SF (less actually). People without the proper experience hosting a festival for tens of thousands of people does end in failure, but plenty of festivals are actually prepared and organized for what goes on. If people taking off their clothes and doing drugs while dancing and experiencing music disturbs you, a music festival isn't for you, but it's also one of the oldest organized human activities.
I think it would need to present at least a little bit more of the qbasic experience. A simple editor, but it still looks different from notepad, and built-in documentation, and immediate access to samples and games.

Something that if found, the average 10 year old would find the sample games in about a minute of clicking around. Gorillas and snake is a must.
i remember that, why would you book bands like limp biscuit and korn for Woodstock? To me the original Woodstock vibe was the peace and free love part of the 60s counterculture. peace and love is not a feeling you get from korn in those times. didn't Blind come out about that time? The cover art was an implied violent abduction of a little girl. i doubt that would fly these days...

You're not wrong, I only use mac nowadays but I was previously a windows engineer so I know it in and out. It took me two tries to get used to a macbook, one I returned in its 30 day window and the other a corporate policy required Macs years later. It was frustrating for maybe a month or two, mostly the different keyboard buttons and shortcuts, but eventually I got it and I love it now.

I don't love the cost of apps on it, there are some tiny apps that I can't believe how much they want for them, and some bigger apps that are easily $60-200 but I don't need any of those.

Still use windows to game and I think it's still a nice chill OS that just works, for me at least. I didn't enjoy developing on it, though, I broke WSL a bunch of times.

> Drive electric? Stopping climate change would require massive infrastructure changes at this point. How about no car at all? Creating and improving that infrastructure takes decades.

You act like gas stations came before cars - they didn't.

As more electric cars enter the market demand for charging increases and the market responds. It won't take decades.

The world transformed itself so quickly the last 100 years it seems dubious to think with all of our advances we can't advance quickly now.
> Without a doubt it's straight up gambling

Not “without a doubt”.

Gambling means a game of chance/luck. Court cases over poker, regardless of which way the decision goes, hinge on whether the Court is convinced that poker is a game of skill, rather than luck.

Predictit definitely did not want to issue W-2G, because that is for gambling income, and their position is of course that their platform is not an illegal gambling service.

I think that it’s pretty easy to argue that consistently winning money on a prediction market is a matter of skill. Just like consistently earning money on the stock market.

Of course, both can be used for gambling.

So if prediction markets are not allowed, why are day trading or stock futures allowed? A casual read of a few relevant subreddits will show that there are a lot of people “straight up gambling” with financial markets.

It’s a real shame that prediction markets aren’t allowed to operate in the US. Markets (of any sort) are incredibly useful.

Disallowing them because you can use them for gambling is throwing the baby out with the bath water.

That's not how health insurance works - at least the US.

Insurance companies reimburse either on a fee-for-service model, in which the hospital is paid for every procedure they do (with no cap); or bundle style model (capitation or diagnosis-related group), where the hospital is paid a flat fee, regardless of what procedures they might do.

So while there are maximum quotas in the bundle style model, you actually make if you do fewer procedures, not if you do more.

> Why bother investigating further, simply do the procedure and write-off the patient. eg. tonsillectomy, many other -ctomies.

Because the insurance company will audit the medical chart and deny payment for the surgery if they deem the surgery to have been inappropriate. There is a huge incentive for them to do this - $500 dollars of audit time on their end could save them $10,000 or more if they end up denying payment.

It actually much more profitable for the hospital to exactly the opposite of what you suggest - only do a surgery if they are 99% sure that the insurer will pay for it in full.

This is one of the biggest sources of health care inequality in the US. Poor people are more likely to have cheap insurance that has a high rate of denying payment. Profitable hospitals don't want to risk nonpayment, so they will decline to do expensive surgeries on these patients and instead refer them to county hospitals or safety-net hospitals that operate at a loss and generally have poorer quality facilities and longer wait times.
Yes. US routinely target and kill people inside other sovereign nations borders during peacetime, with scant regards for any "rules-based-order".

Not to mention not being a signatory to major treaties and conventions that are are part of that "rules based order", like UNCLoS, ICJ and ICC.

I think one thing that’s missed here is that a degree is like a key that opens some number of doors. If you get a degree in material science you open a few doors. If you do a degree in mech engineering you open most of the same doors and then a whole bunch more, but a few are now locked. It’s important to pick a broad well known accredited degree so you can earn a key that opens the most doors. Don’t get bs degrees in shit like “robotics”
Last night I watched the new Trainwreck : Woodstock 99 doc on Netflix. I completely recommend watching

It exposes John Scher and all the greedy individuals that permanently destroyed Woodstock.

Instead of pointing the finger at the Nu metal artists they deliberately chose to perform and the $4 water dehydrated, trench mouthed, fecal ridden kids who inevitably became disgruntled enough to raise chaos.
90's teenagers trying to restage what they thought the 70's (1969 actually) Woodstock was like in a really distorted manner... I think they should've asked their parents what peace and love really meant... they just remembered about the sex and rock'n roll, but didn't realize that the sex was supposed to be consensual, and freedom didn't mean use of violence.
It wasn't a limitation of the places you've worked at - endpoint management tools for Windows are light years ahead of the ones for Apple. Moreover said tools simply don't exist in Linux land.
This makes it seem so underwhelming and overhyped. This just sounds like any ordinary festival.
Well, yes and no. Accuracy is a spectrum when there are many claims being made per day. Back in high school, for my government civics class, we had a final project where we were asked to watch news from like 5 to 10 different TV channels, describe what the news piece was about, then cross-reference every claim and fact check it, giving each station a grade. Most news pieces were something between 70% and 100% accurate; but when I got to Fox News, the assignment became nearly impossible to even complete. They would describe a thing that happened in about 10 seconds, and then spend the rest of the piece's time just spewing partisan rhetoric and opinions. There wasn't even anything that could be fact checked after the initial description! I ended up just writing that in my report ("could not fact check, it was all opinions").

So, you're right that all news stations have some element of inaccuracy for the sake of ratings, but you're wrong in thinking they're all equivalent in the amount of inaccuracy. Fox is the worst offender on that front.

I think the pinnacle of keep the hell out signs is this custom sign warning against cave diving: https://c1.staticflickr.com/7/6120/6340400769_0be3304d64_b.j...

1) Skeletons of divers and a personification of death. The skeleton with a sickle thing might not be culturally universal, but the message is probably clear enough.

2) It gives clear rational justifications for itself, for the rebellious who might otherwise question a command given without justification.

3) It's a custom sign. Sometimes it seems warning signs are slapped on things out of an overabundance of caution because somebody has a stack of signs and nowhere else to put them. Not this sign. Somebody went out of their way to have this sign custom made, so it must be serious.

> Physics interpolation in 3D

This is huge. Initially, Godot didn't support any interpolation, which meant you either ignore fps altogether (and your game literally plays slower, and therefore differently, if the game slows down from 60 to 30 fps), or you move physics code to the _physics_process() and suffer from stutter/jitter because the physics code and the rendering code slowly drift out of sync. Amazing!

EDIT: I forgot to mention the _third_ possiblity, which is that you write a bunch of custom code in GDScript or C++ which attempts to do the interpolation.
> What I mean: if an administration doesn't like a given metric, it should get its replacement metric identified and publicized in advance.

The US definition of a recession was identified and publicized a very long time ago. The National Bureau of Economic Research has been putting dates on downturns since 1929 before there was such a thing as gross domestic product.
When will they add a slice (fat pointer) type? I.e. a generic version of

Rise tinted glasses much? Apple have had more than their fair share of bad tech. Such as fanless computers overheating, keyboards that break, monitor hinges that tear the monitor cable, and the first iPhone had fewer features than many of the “dumb” feature phones released years prior.

I say this as someone who owns a lot of Apple hardware too. So this isn’t some anti Apple bias

Moreover it’s pretty absurd to say that hugely popular products aren’t ready for the prime time. The fact they’re popular and sell well means they precisely were.
> If anything, Woodstock taught me that nothing in this world is black and white; the capacity for both love and greed exist to some degree in all of us. The highest highs can come with the lowest lows; beauty can be corrupted. But mention Woodstock ’99 to me, and my initial feelings aren’t of guilt or disgust. They’re of joy, nostalgia, and the thrill of being able to utter the phrase, “Dude… I was there.”

I honestly don't know how I feel about this conclusion. It seems like a very whitewashed (pardon the pun) thing to say.

You could talk about the corporate gouging for water and food, which was extravagant. Or the lack of planning and safety traded in for profit which was so in vogue right before the dotcom boom and bust. They were supposed to provide free drinking water fountains, but provided like 1, and it didn't work right. Bottled water was ridiculously overpriced.

Even the Simpsons ragged on this, in 2001 in the episode "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Marge", Otto is at a concert where he gets set on fire and runs to the concession stand where Becky pours an 8 dollar bottle of water on him to put out the fire. That's when he knew it was love.

Or you could talk about how people can easily resort to mob action at a person on a stage shouting at them. That would have been a good lesson to learn maybe 20 years ago.

Or how consent has radically changed over the years, or if you will, consent is more respected than it was back then, and how that's a good thing.

This feeling of nostalgia almost points to the fact that we didn't learn. We just watched it go by and did what everyone does. We go home. We turn on the TV. We make the same mistakes again. It's almost this feeling of "yeah, there's good and bad on both sides, but let's not try to do better next time. it is what it is"

Maybe there was supposed to be another paragraph after this one (it feels like the article ends in a weird place, maybe got edited)? The title is that it destroyed your innocence.

It's really not.

Just the other day, I had to pay for gas at a station that still used swipe rather than chip, and then ate at an outdoor café where I had to give my card to the server, who took it away and brought back a sheet to sign and a pen.

A lot of places are updating to handle chip and tap-to-pay, which is great, but until swipe entry is completely obsoleted and non-portable terminals for restaurants are banned by the payment processors, there will still be some who hold on because that's what they have and what they know.
As the other poster said, this matches my anecdata also. I will also add that I know multiple families who have decided to home school permanently, and that added extra incentive for the family to stay in the single income status.
