Let's face it, the only reason that 'fake news' exists in its current form is because the corporate media has done such a piss-poor job of holding to journalistic ethics, which has been declining steadily for decades. If people actually had an alternative that they thought they could trust, there would not be a market for 'fake news' (which sometimes turns out to just be the whole, unbiased facts presented in opposition to the agenda-driven and manipulated 'news' of the legacy media).
So what have you done that benefits the community and why do you think you get to make that decision for others?

> systems (including animals & humans) evolve or decline

This is not necessarily true. We could maintain systems without evolution or decline. For example, I don't think that cloth manufacturing has evolved much since the 70s. Shops have new ways to sell (via the internet), but we as a society could wear clothes from the 70s and have the same quality of life (in terms of clothing) as people back then. Think about how much unnecessary work and waste have we created by consuming clothes every year. How much damage could be avoided by not manufacturing more clothes?

> So, as I see it, animals live a life of constant pressure where the strong survive and the weak are culled out

Animals have the pressure to eat. They hunt, they consume what they need, and they rest until they are hungry again. They aren't constantly accumulating food or killing other species. That's the difference between animals and humans. The fisherman goes fishing every single day from 9 to 5, no matter if society is hungry or not.
About time someone thought of replacing email protocols with something new but without adding the bloat that seems so inevitable today.

> It mentions rust 3 times on a very very long landing page, and once is in a list of languages it has bindings for. That's really not "the number of times" your comment implies.

I count 7 times. Once with the cargo install, once "built entirely in Rust", once "built with Rust", three times quoted under "Loved by Developers", and once under "Database Libraries and Clients".
The context is the guns fired at Queen Victoria's funeral, which would almost certainly not be non-ceremonial artillery.
This is a symptom of a much broader story of europe becoming weaker and the euro becoming less valuable. This particular thing affects export prices positively, but its on the backdrop of a bad trend.
They just marked something the way exploit was done as "malacious", without fixing the root problem, or informing the the reporter that they "fixed" it. Instead claiming it was never there. That is very unprofessional!

And if these guys were to go though the NDA route, The company may choose just not to fix it at all, and tell these researchers to be quiet about it. And you'd never know there was such a exploit ever.

But what if you had to replace the RAM, what would that cost? The CPU? Fix the keyboard? I think the total sum if you add the various components up it would be 10x a new machine, excluding the actual labor costs. And when there are others wanting to do it cheaper, but are being blocked by Apple, this doesn't sit right with me.
> Guys I bought a huge vanity building noone is using anymore plz help me avoid the consequences of my own actions

While there is potentially a point to be made here, your argument about the sunk cost of empty facilities is misplaced, and has nothing to do with measuring productivity. If managers are able to measure performance & productivity, and see a general decline with a remote workforce, then that rational stands on its own merits without any discussion about filling expensive buildings.

The point is (some) people are measurably less productive while working remotely, for whatever reason. Most folks are slightly more productive at first....

"""
Hey look at me, I'm working from home, see how busy I am(?)... I'm super productive, let me show you how productive I am... yadda yadda...

The first few days and weeks of WFH are magical for most people, and it makes sense why people want to continue to have the privilege. But gradually over time many fall into the trap of working from home; once the novelty wears off, the drive & motivation to be productive fades.

Yes, sort of. My company, a web agency with offices in DC and Seattle, does a 9:80. a 9hr days M-Th and then get every other Fri off. It's optional because not everyone wants to work longer days.

We first started a few years ago with a "no meetings" friday rule, which was very successful. We expanded to the 9:80 program two years ago and it has also been successful.

Are you asking about America? This summer, my wife's friend ($70k/yr) was considering a tradeoff between eating healthy vs supporting her mom's rent.

Going closer to work is not a choice for many as rents closer to work are prohibitively high. Further, a lot of driving is errands and healthcare. I can't even get something to eat without driving 5 mins.

You say "better" but you're not giving a comparison.

The UK doesn't appear anywhere in the ranking on the Wikipedia link of countries with >90% electricity from renewables.

You're last link also pertains to electricity only BTW (you make it sound like all energy is considered) and the UK aims for 2025 to have "periods" of fossil-free electricity generation, while other countries do that already today and not just for "periods".

I'm sorry, but the UK sucks.

My only consolation to you is that a number of other western countries also suck.

Usually the whole science of econ is predicated on trying to keep preferences fixed and then seeing how all sorts of shocks impact behavior. But, perhaps, COULD IT just be that this one time, with this once-in-many generational event, that people's outlook and perspective on their lives truly did change and preferences, all else equal, did in fact shift massively so people have been quitting/making less money/changing jobs?

Advocating for "market prices" doesn't necessarily mean letting everyone fend for themselves. You can provide grants/subsidies for the poor, while still keeping market prices so everyone is still incentivized to save as much energy as possible.

>Edit: Big power retail companies in the UK are making record profits, and so is generation.

Sounds like a great way to discourage investment and make future shortages even worse. The energy industry runs on a boom-bust cycle. Why bother investing for the boom years (ie. right now) when you know the government is going to seize all your profits?
I strongly disagree that nearly 20% of the median household income (£31,400 [0]) is reasonable for a family's annual energy bill. Median income for the poorest 20% is £14,600 - the chances they could afford £6k a year on energy are slim.

Are you really suggesting that housing costs should average around £1400 per year (about one tenth the average annual rent [1]), but energy costs more than 4 times that amount are reasonable?

eBay to “Acquire” TCGplayer
I mean, the screen is a major part of that initial 1000 EUR cost. Could easily be half. No way you can get a MacBook Air M1 for much less that 1000 EUR used, those things keep their price for years and years. And how much were you willing to part with? Is that 100-200 (or even 300) EUR difference really worth the near-aneurysm you're having?

I am like this too. I will flip my lid over something like this, but about half the time upon further reflection I will come to the conclusion that I was being irrational, and simply upset at how much things objectively cost or how long things take, or whatever.

This isn't true. "Fake news" is an imitation of news. News is what we all know news is. A product that presents information. There is entertainment news, celebrity news, movie news, music news. But "the news" is usually current events or politics.

Everyone knows "fake news" means fake political news. An imitation of a format we all recognize.

Pretending you cant tell the difference is "fake commenting". You are pretending to discuss coherence and truth and objectivity. But really you dont care. You aren't defending fake news on the merits. You are saying, "there isn't any such thing as news, so how can this other stuff be fake." Its crap and not a real comment. It isn't even an original thought.
While I don't disagree, the paper defines fake news in the context of the paper in section 1 :

"“Fake news” has become a term that is used to denote very different things: it is employed to discredit political opponents or the respectability of particular news outlets, and it is used colloquially to simply refer to untruths in any given context. However, the phenomenon that public institutions like the European Commission and the British Parliament are concerned about most plausibly entails at least three features:

1. Fake news contains false information.

2. Fake news is created with deceptive intent.

3. Fake news is presented as resembling traditional news items (even though it is not produced in accordance with editorial standards)."

and they list three examples of 'fake news' which are stories that are demonstrably false and created intentionally with the sole purpose to mislead.
Good point. But I can't make the numbers add up. If NHS is 7% and total health care is 12% then the NHS is only 58% of health spending, but how does it then make sense to say it's "predominantly single payer"? Looks to me like the private sector has exploded recently as people pay for private health care/insurance to cover the increasing gaps in the NHS coverage. This does nothing for those who are still just on the NHS.

This looks to be backed up by: "Based on trends observed in early estimates of household final consumption expenditure, household spending on outpatient and hospital services, which include self-funded and insurance-funded treatments, grew by 24.5% and 31.3% respectively in 2021." https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthan...

But that link also says that NHS spending is 83% of health spending, so like I said I can't get the numbers to add up.
If I had a local small business that did let’s say a $1m in Rev, I could research and understand my state and local tax obligations, and file and remit applicable taxes.

I actually don't think this would be a good thing even for a good boss, because a good boss simply wouldn't use this surveillance bullshit in the way a good boss simply wouldn't sexually harass the intern.

Also, I would disagree that shitty bosses are responsive to their own bad management consequences. Remember that at Blizzard a manager harassed a report to the point of suicide[edit: to be clear, literally passed around explicit pictures of the report through the company, the report killed themselves around that time, so this is allegedly]-- what're the consequences for that manager? They are probably still managing somewhere.

agree; notion of "code time" is almost equivalent to that other shitty metric the industry (used to?) use to evaluate dev productivity -- lines of code. It's usually meaningless, and promotes "garbage-in, garbage-out", leading to a decline in code quality. There's also the reality that engineers of differing seniority spend varying amounts of time writing code, and that the time spent thinking/reading typically adds more value (ex., less code-review churn, etc.).
Not showing up to the office when required could be a fireable offense (not quite insubordination but along the same lines).

Is it really that unusual?

Not unusual but it depends on the implementation. Usually this is done to prevent credential stealing/sharing. There should be logic that measures time from logging in from one location to another. e.g. If you logged in from NYC and then tried to log in from Istanbul 30 minutes later then based on the limitations of transportation logistics it should be logical to block that attempt.

Another use case for geological based checks would be checking the box to attempt to block countries that are legally sanctioned. And then there is the topic of VPN's and what to do about them.

This is just my opinion but I would open a case and ask for more details from them as to what happened and why.
In theory, in practice the very rich pay an effective tax rate of around 20%, because they can turn it into capital gains and dividends with lower rates than income tax.

So we need to increase taxes there rather than income tax, and, I would personally argue, begin taxing wealth rather than just income when people have millions of pounds of assets.

Of course, I'd also argue we should have higher bands, once we fix the other problems and people are actually paying those rates. Paying say, 60% over a million pounds of income seems totally reasonable for me. You've already got a huge amount of income at that point taxed at a lower rate. You can afford to pay more, and should want to in order to get a better society to live in.

"Unauthorized" feels deceptive here. They're trying to give the impression it means "not allowed", when it really means "something we'd prefer they not do but that we have no authority to disallow", the same way Apple refers to "unauthorized" third-party repair.
