Thank you for stating it so clearly. If the media was not building narratives and, in effect, household recognition of some profiles around none of this would be an issue. But we have narratives, because they do sell and old media has to compete with new entrants that are not as bogged down by quaint rules that governs old media ( and that includes stream of Alex Jones ).

I do not blame just the old media though. They just responded to the reality the best way they could. There is a reason most articles are now a litany of clickbaity titles. I blame us.
Estonia is in NATO. That seems quite stupid. Who's number 1 and 2? The US and Germany?
yeah, and the way the problem is being treated is flawed, but that's another thing
Not really fake if you can receive email is it? Maybe disposable is a better word
We shouldn’t have to file at all. Many European countries don’t. W-2 employees already have their taxes taken out.
This stuff is worse than the Death Star. At least that thing made no pretence about helping its targets. I cannot fathom how much my mood has dropped on reading about Bossware. I'd do pretty much anything in my career to avoid it.
Yes, the evidence is my life. I don't need to convince you, why should I?

What does your one job have to do with the general situation of the country? The issues with waiting lists are well publicised.
I assume you mean Gerard O'Neill, and I don't recall him saying this. Can you cite the source?

Healthcare is insurance for possible future accidents. A may have higher risk of breaking a leg, B may have higher risk of cardiovascular accident. Eventually it evens out. No matter how healthy lifestyle you lead, you've a risk of ending up in hospital. For active lifestyle it may be even higher :)

Meanwhile student loan is past decision. As well as paying it back or not. Some people may have lived on noodles to pay it back asap while others took the easy route. Maybe all payments shall be returned too?

Of course, US high education costs are stupid. There needs to be more incentive to guide people towards degrees that will pay for themselves too.
Note also Theranos executives were using similar email monitoring tools to make sure low-level employees weren't copying emails to private folders (because executives knew Theranos was engaging in fraud and didn't want their emails showing up in criminal or civil court cases later on). These are tools like Nagios, Zabbix, etc. which allow application and data movement monitoring.

Some will argue these are necessary security tools, but in reality if the executives are so afraid of their employees ratting them out or selling their data to Russian hackers or whatever, then they've got larger problems with their organization (again, see Theranos).
Estonia is in NATO. So seems doubtful it's a serious target.
It's mostly the Great Reshuffling.

People figure out that they don't have to accept crappy working conditions and the COLA raises they got are not covering the inflation. Some quit figuring that they'll take a break.

Employers had to offer better pay/work conditions to attract new people. People that left told everyone. People that stayed figured out they were paid peanuts compared to the newbs. Welcome positive feedback loop.
+1 I think you are correct.

These comments make me angry. Thanks to Facebook, I keep in contact with a lot of friends who would otherwise have completely lost touch with. Thanks to Uber, I get comfortable rides from point A to point B, even in places where the taxi systems completely fail (and there are a lot of these, I have plenty of stories, even recent ones).

I get enormous value from these services. You don't, fine. Stop projecting on others.
I dislike software jobs and am biding my time in the industry. I though I have enough money to retire early, but now, in the new reality, came back to save a bit more before I leave for good.
Used to be that Brits commonly used a dual temperature system, cold weather in Centigrade (brr, -5 outside), hot weather in Fahrenheit (phew, 85 today, what a scorcher!).
In the EU, maybe? But there are at least three countries currently partially occupied by Russia (or "pro-Russian" forces), and none of those are Estonia. Estonia also enjoys the security guarantees that come from being a NATO member.
IPCC AR6 (2022)'s summary for policymakers [1] makes such a claim.

Here is the last paragraph:

"The cumulative scientific evidence is unequivocal: Climate change is a threat to human well-being
and planetary health. Any further delay in concerted anticipatory global action on adaptation and mitigation
will miss a brief and rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a liveable and sustainable future for all. (very high confidence)"

I’m just curious as to what GPU helps with for rendering plain html/markdown?
What huge numbers is it crunching to render say a markdown file vs a 3D scene?
Also browser doesn’t render MD right? All browser based implementations are done in JS or server side so what does it mean when its browserless?
For development you don't need paper, that's the next step, printing.

Sure, for the fools who saw a couple years of two-dollar gas and decided they needed an F-350 to drive to their office job. It's hard to work up any sympathy for them, especially when most of them lived through the gas prices of the Bush years.
AWS seems to be patient with that. Had the wrong credit card information from a customer once. Credit card validation seems to take a while and only fails a day later or so. Put in the wrong info a few times and invoices were already piling up since I only checked once a week or so. Probably still a good tip to move to a better payment scheme.
Absolutely mackeyja92. We were users of RethinkDB back in the day. We wanted to bring the best features/functionality of NoSQL databases (MongoDB/RethinkDB/CouchDB/...), graph databases (Neo4j/OrientDB/...), and relational databases (MySQL/PostgreSQL/...) together into one platform, and then add some awesome functionality on top of it!

In addition we really wanted the realtime functionality to be available when connecting directly from the browser (like Firebase), and that's something that RethinkDB didn't offer.
If corruption happens then any guarantees by the hardware are voided, and the software guarantees (of durability) which are built o the hardware guarantees are equally voided. So corruption -> dead in the water.

But otherwise I agree.
FTA: "Some borrowers say they would not change their spending habits if their college debt — or a portion of it — is canceled."

As someone who paid off student loans four years ago, I can tell you that this (at least for my family) wasn't the case. When you have more money, you find new ways to spend it (and enjoy doing so).
> I want a salary.

That's your opinion.

You want safety and don't like risk.

There are many folks that think like you.

But thankfully, not everyone functions this way.
I don't think that's a fair comparison. You can't put a biological system into 'read-only' mode like you can with a computer system (where this is the default since modification requires dedicated effort).

A biological system self-modifies even when just associating memories.
The phenomenon you describe is much more high level, we observe someone can't form new memories, but that doesn't mean their fundamental brain chemistry has changed.
>What I am afraid of is that they succeed, but it turns out similar to VR: as an inconsequential gimmick. That they use their AGIs to serve more customized ads to people, and that's where it ends.

If an AGI were set free to serve ads to people it would essentially initiate mass brainwashing. You would see an ad and be completely defenseless against it and you could be compelled to do anything.

AGI is in a completely different universe to "Smart AI"
There are a surplus of students trying to become college professors. We would still have a surplus even if we cut off half of them at early stages of the pipeline.

And we have too many people going to college anyway. Many of them would be happier and better off in the long run if they attended trade school or joined an apprentice program or enlisted in the military. College is an excellent choice for some people, but it shouldn't be the default option.
I'm a bit confused as to why X11/wayland would be a huge issue here? The Mesa docs do say X11-only, but they're referring to running the driver on macOS (hence the XQuartz reference), where Wayland basically doesn't exist.
That doesn't mean that taxes would lower prices, or keep them the same. Taxes raise prices.

Also, that article doesn't make sense to me. What stopped the prices rising before?
Oh yeah that is true. I am an idiot.
> Operating a business with a single point of failure is a risk to be considered in the risk:reward analysis. For many businesses, it is a reasonable risk that enables unique solutions.

Then they didn't compute the risk correctly. A risk that some other entity could at any moment turn off your entire sales funnel which would, with nearly 100% certainty, ruin your business ought to be one no one should take. I'm not going to cry for those people that did.

And if you bent the frame of the car and broke the suspension and did some damage to the sensors on your suspension? In the US it would cost a fortune and it wouldn’t shock me if it costs 70% of the value of the car.

The outrage is justified if the screen cracked due to a manufacturing defect. Otherwise, get over it and be careful with your stuff if you can’t afford the repair.

And before you send something off, ask questions. The shipping costs I’m sure would have been disclosed.
It's not about allowing or not. Anyone can say whatever they want. Then they get sued for fraud.

Free speech != allowing fraud in the legal system. (or any other consequence from speech).

So strictly speaking, yes, you are ALLOWED to say whatever you want, but be prepared for a lot of shit if you lie to people or are wrong. Or be prepared to go to jail if you incite violence or yell fire in a crowded space. (and btw, Alex Jones is bankrupt because of Sandy Hook, to the other posters above).

This free speech = speech without consequences is a silly lie invented by people who want to control speech.
So is dumping to /dev/null. A trustworthy database needs a lot more than being fast, unfortunately.
Wrong. There is an objective truth, and there is a lie. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish. But the difference is always there. Nowadays people are caring less and less about the truth. Look at Russia, they're even trying to build a parallel, fake reality.

> News reporting is integrally and inextricably laden with bias, motive, and perspective.

This is not the same as fake facts.

Hydrogen makes a bit of sense on in Japan.

You've got an island - people aren't driving their cars to other countries from Japan so you can build out the entirety of the refuting system with a smaller area (the long axis of Japan is comparable in distance from San Diego to Seattle - https://acme.com/same_scale/#41.30257,-121.06934,38.07404,13... ).

The second thing about being on an island is that importing oil is expensive.

So, the problem of energy storage for vehicles... plugins are one option. Hydrogen is another.

Hydrogen is still something that they're looking at for Japan and it makes sense in that environment.

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/18/toyota-ramps-up-efforts-to-l...

I'll also point out in that article:

> Toyota started working on the development of fuel-cell vehicles — where hydrogen from a tank mixes with oxygen, producing electricity — back in 1992. In 2014, it launched the Mirai, a hydrogen fuel cell sedan. The business says its fuel cell vehicles emit “nothing but water from the tailpipe.”

Consider where the high capacity battery technology in '92 was.

For cars the Galapagos effect on cars gives us a hydrogen fuel cell focus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galápagos_syndrome

I don't believe the research into fuel cell designs for Japanese car makers was a mistake and it likely is still a good idea for Japan and other island countries to have a hydrogen refueling system.
Seems like a poorly thought out protocol.

1. Inconsistences like the value for "op" being sometimes integer but then sometimes string. Why is this an integer anyways? We are already in inefficient JSON land and a lot of the rest is strings.
2. No mentioning of ordering or guarantees in the draft spec. Bad recommendation to use time for sequential message ids.
3. Says E2EE not in it right now but planned. Says E2EE not default because sites want to scan and archive messages but then the page says email is bad because it doesn't have E2EE and nodes can scan messages?
4. The usage of the word "node" is confusing and inconsistent. Sometimes it's described as a device, sometimes it's a password. "nodeid", "node", "newnode"...
5. Seems like one can spoof the alias for each message? What's the reason for this? The page specifically mentions phishing being an issue with email but wouldn't this help phishers? There is no way that I can see if a message came from the site itself or a random user on it.

Then a quick look at the code. First noticed the unusual (for Go) coding convention like "tFoo" structs, "eErrFoo" errors. Calling a mutex "door", weird "//:" comments.
I haven't tested it but I'm fairly sure the convoluted way of storing user info in flat files has path traversal issues. Seems like there's a cache for alias -> uid but anyone can pick any alias so they would collide?

Just from a cursory glance. Also doesn't seem like it has moved much in a couple years.
You’re implying morality on rows in a database (the debt in question).

> Some people may have lived on noodles to pay it back asap while others took the easy route.

Indeed, life isn’t fair, and why policy shouldn’t inflict suffering “because it was hard for me.” (broad strokes) That’s not just silly, it’s toxic when expressed as policy.
>Here's Tim Cook talking about it: https://www.webpronews.com/tim-cook-were-not-against-digital...

Oh. The magic of PR.

Tim Cook came out to say they are not against Ads precisely because everyone thought they were against ads. Including the Ad industry. That piece, along with dozen of other interviews, during late 2021 or early 2022 were all about damage control. The Ad industry were absolutely pissed.

Why didn't Tim Cook said anything in 2019 when they started their war against Ads? The PR against Ads, from Mainstream to Social Media. How their Business Model were not to Sell Ads? How recording customer interaction at your own shop is still Apple's definition of tracking? And Apple somehow doesn't do any of that.

Yes, you may be right. Apple didn't said any of that by the strictest definition. But the market received it as such. And that is the beauty of their PR and marketing.

Edit: Just read this thread alone, suddenly people are coming out with First party data collection being different than third party data collection. Did we even had that discussion in 2019? May be that is the wrong question to ask, were we even allowed to have that discussion in 2019?

Yeah, the trend in higher education costs seem especially out of line with the trend towards schools relying more on contract adjunct instructors, and shrinking down their core, tenure-track faculty. They're simultaneously spending less on actual instruction and spending more on administrators, and fancy facilities. I wonder if some regulation can make schools 'unbundle' instruction from other services, and allow students to enroll only in instruction, and opt out of services they don't intend to use, over-priced student housing, fancy sports facilities etc. And wherever we report student-faculty ratios, also reporting a student-non-teaching-staff ratio would clarify things.

You could argue that we tend to move in cycles ( things are too loose, up the authority; things are too tight, loosen up ). I am personally horrified that US appears to be somewhat ok with gutting its freedom of speech as much as it can with support of some rather naive helpers, who think that power will not be used against them.
I also use NextDNS for my home network. They specifically have a section for native tracking protection (Privacy tab -> Native Tracking Protection) for some of the major consumer electronics brands, including Samsung and Roku. With that option I've never seen an ad on my Roku TV, works great.
What world do you live in where anti-discrimination laws aren't already aren't already utilized by the employers you've referenced? It's really hard to get fired as a US Federal Government or Union employee (based on what I've seen from both in a Midwest state, for United Auto Workers) and the EEOC has had historically strong support for employees for the entities I've cited.

Private entities will do what they've always done and my original comment succinctly describes the default outcome. Nothing has changed.

> The Dow giant still expects Disney+ to be profitable in 2024.

Disney+ isn’t profitable once you take into account “transfer payments”. They may not be profitable at all yet. But they specifically mentioned being profitable including transfer payments.

That basically means that when Disney movie studios use to sell streaming rights to another company - say Netflix. They may make for instance $500 million (made up number). Disney+ still “pays” the Disney movie studio $500 million. It’s counted against Disney+ profits. Of course the Disney company as a whole keeps most of that money. But it still has to pay part of it to the actors, producers, etc who have a revenue share agreement.

It was a big point of contention when Black Widow was released.
A darkroom is only needed for printing, but then you also need an enlarger, easel, &c.

Which brands of smart TV show ads? I live in the UK and I've had three different brands of smart TV (Philips, Samsung and Toshiba) and my experience with all of them has been pretty good. Netflix, YouTube, etc. have worked pretty well and I haven't seen any ads that weren't linked to the apps themselves. Perhaps they're tracking me in ways I don't know about, though?
I am not a member of a forcible entry team (IANAMOAFET), but that sounds like a bad idea. Walls are likely to have plumbing and/or electrical wiring in them. Putting an axe or chainsaw through a 220v circuit would not be a good way to start fighting the fire.

It might make more sense if one wasn't in a hurry, though.
People do have an alternative they think they can trust: Facebook and other social media sites.

Didn't impact me at all. Inflation does but since I earn above-average, not to a painful degree.

I don't have plans to go on holiday to the USA in the next year or so, don't plan to buy a Tesla, maybe a new Mac which is going to go up in EUR.

I worry about the long-term effects the war will have for us. Europe is resource poor and constantly rising energy prices will hit our industry hard as we cannot easily find domestic sources of energy. I do hope that switching to renewables gets accelerated and will provide us with both cheap energy and new opportunities for industry.

For the record - I was the first person to raise my voice in 2020 and tell management people with elderly and immunocompromised family members or themselves with issues are going to need to work at home for some time. I was the first to call that schools were going to have to close for a short time (not a freaking year and a half, good God, California). I care deeply about people.

That being said, a bunch of Apple and Googlers who get freaking bused to work for free, with wifi, complaining that they now need to work from home permanently instead of the beautiful campuses they built look like "snowflakes", yes. Not everyone.

Flexibility is important. My own team has flexibility to make decisions which best help them, however there is none-the-less a reasonable expectation to come into the office once or twice a week. It helps with collaboration, and they're freaking 20 miles away at most.

The critical part of the pandemic is done, I can't believe that's the excuse. It's more convenience at this point. I'm not saying that out of a heavy hand, but that's the reality as I see it.

Face-to-face working is a privilege. Why are people treating it like it's a punishment?
This is about child safety seats; not the big bench seats that cars used to have where one could more easily arrange the act of conception, than one can in modern cars with bucket seats, consoles, and etc. You could get farther in the back seat of a '72 Cuda than you could on a minivan bench seat.
URL is wrong. an extra 'a' on the end.
Yes, across the entire economy, because it's not just driving tests, it's everything.

What we actually did, is to print money and give it to people for not working.

And so, as in the article, 20% inflation. Oops!
With monadic futures, you can elegantly compose them and basically have great error handling while barely writing a line of code. In your solution, I foresee codebase where 50% of the code are ifs which check the state of the context.

> I have this intuition that the borrow checker might enforce a way of working that fundamentally stops you from doing things that aren't _really_ compatible with the way a CPU actually works on the lowest level.

No, I think you are reading too much into it. One is free to Box-allocate/pointer-chase on every line in Rust without any trouble. Sure, as other low level languages, rust also prefers/makes stack-allocation more ergonomic/the default, which is a quite cache-friendly way of operation but not even the stack is “native” in and of itself - it is just a frequently and extensively used part of the “heap”.
It has some and more. There are many add on channels with content you won't find on any of the commercial boxes. For example, Films for Action is a great channel addon with a curated set of alternative films. They don't fit the desired narrative of commercial systems and would be difficult to get any airtime from corporate broadcasters.
