I wanna add the death of the synthesizer. There was no way to ship a game with a soundtrack without a hardware synthesizer, due to storage and CPU power. Hardware synthesizers could differ in quality. Listen to what this musician did with under 50 kb using the SNES hardware synthesizes: https://youtu.be/gkCcvoJ09gU

In the 90s, CD audio could handle some soundtrack work but without looping, and it would obviously block disc reads.

However you have now significant storage and hardware compressed audio decoders. So, soundtracks are shipped as compressed waveforms.

All decoders will play them the same way. There is no differentiation.
The underlying issue is wealth inequality. There's a glut of capital chasing returns internationally that grows bigger every year.

If 10 people with $1 to spend on an apple, and one person suddenly had $11 you could say demand for apples had "doubled", implying that this the result of an implacable, impersonal, unchangeable force but it absolutely isnt.

For most people, my guess is the solution would be credit card payment where at the time of booking they take a temporary hold on the card which is only actually charged once you board. Similar to how typically with online shopping your card is only charged once the item actually ships.
You don't need very detailed imagery to spot a swimming pool. The Google earth type images are enough.

It can also be used to spot building extensions etc. And it also gives a hint on other cheating and crime, for example if the household is on benefits, pays no tax and all of a sudden a pool pops up in the garden. It might still be legit, but at least an investigation can be done.

Sure it might be seen a bit over the top, but what are the alternatives? If people do not declare when it is taxable, then things might need to be enforced. Sure these taxes could be removed, but at the same time it might be fair to tax people who can afford building a pool. Probably better than increasing tax on work.
Is the issue here that all republican/right-wing biased platforms and influencers encourage hate-speech? Or simply that the platforms with the ability to block access to these services have a liberal bias and it suits their agenda better?

I am not right-wing nor am I even American, but at this stage I'm of the opinion that these bans are coordinated attacks. Watching Trump get banned from every social platform within two or three days for inciting an insurrection offline left a bad taste in my mouth. A similar thing has just happened to Andrew Tate. It also happens all the time with right-wing subreddits.

Why are right-wing communities not allowed to flourish online like left-leaning ones?
It's tax evasion. They are literally stealing your tax dollars.
Mind you, the Assadists came out on top in Syria; they don’t use drones so much, but old fashioned siege warfare against population centres, terror bombing and chemical weapons.
And I thought this was going to be about AI finding some sort of illicit dark pools in finance, indicating some sort of shady business. Lol.

Those types of pools aren't the ones AI is being tasked to find of course. Why would AI even try to uncover the nefarious activities of its owners?

Anyway, here's to another governmental (planning, tax department) success! Hurrah!
I think you are overthinking it. In Russia there is a strong tradition of writing "either good or none" about deceased people. Individual blogs and anonymous telegram channels are an exception, of course, but not state media. Jumping on the graves publicly just didn't catch up yet.

If Kuchma, the creator of modern Ukrainian state, would die tomorrow he would get a very similar obituary, no doubt.

Also, RT in general is not the crazy propaganda outlet. Its mission is to be boring and predictable. Russia has some dedicated resources for crazier kinds of propaganda.
Honestly there has to be something wrong with software pricing. Slack cost per user is similar to giving everyone in company sim card, while cell operators have to maintain both, massive physical infrastructure AND software infrastructure. Seems like most of SaaS environment is horribly inefficient.
>Yeah but you need to provide proof of ID and the like if you book a flight

Do you? I don't think I've given any ID when booking any of my recent Schengen flights.
When load factors get too high, recovery from irregular ops (weather, crew, or mechanical disruptions) becomes a nightmare for passengers. People end up stranded for days without available seats.
I wonder why it's still not the case in enterprise. They still typically buy a third-party antivirus like McAfee.
Exactly! We're looking at the second use case, to have a VM running tied to the git history. Right now we do this on a branch level, so you could say "connect to branch X on microservice Y" from another microservice, and you can test APIs quickly. There's a lot of new things this enables!
Am I giving a multiple of my salary returned as value to my employer in that case? If so then yes, the employer is exploiting my work (knowledge, skills, productivity, etc.) and earning a good profit on it, I should be entitled to keep my share of this agreement, no matter how many hours I worked, I've produced the expected value out of those hours.

Employers pay for productivity and the value generated by employees, not hours in a seat.

That mindset is exactly the mindset of an oppressed labour force, as workers we aren't being paid so employers can get their share of hours of my life, we are being paid to generate value, it shouldn't really matter if that value is created in 1h or 40h per week, for the employer the result is the same.
You can easily see pools on Google Earth. This is the sort of claim that literally takes seconds to refute in any city.
> What I do have a problem with is unnecessary surveillance of the innocent.

so in your opinion police patrolling the streets are an "unnecessary surveillance of the innocent"?

because disclosed pools are already known to the State. Technically is not surveillance if they already know that you have a pool and they actually find a pool there (what a surprise!)
Also, the median can only be 1stddev away from the mean in any distribution, so this can further winnow the search.
Businesses should be required by law to accept cash for in-person transactions. Philadelphia was the first US city to ban cashless stores a couple of years ago and it was a great move for convenience and equity.
I don’t mind requiring open APIs but can we all agree that this is pretty much in direct opposition to a lot of the privacy concerns that people here talk about?

The more able I am to interact with an interface programmatically, the more easily I can exploit it and turn it into a giant database.

> The tax authorities say the software could eventually be used to find undeclared home extensions, patios or gazebos, which also play a part in property taxes.

Well, let's not be over optimistic. The PM in charge of the project on the taxe administration side is probably happy that his project is going well. However, different branches of the state are already doing that with tree line and tree coverage change for farmers subsidies. That project is not going well because of the large amount of false positives.

Trying to spot undeclared house extension will very likely follow the same path because the problem is infinitely more difficult, the data ("cadastre") is messy and Capgemini is absolutely not capable of handling that complexity by lack of skills and experience.
I recently turned all the predictive email, the "Nice to see you too! // Yeah it was fun. // See you!" robot shit gmail proposes. I don't want those proposals. The bias they introduce into my human (when it's a human) interaction is impossible to undo, I turned all all that shit off, if I want to write "Nice to see you! Yeah it was good. // See you!" I didn't even read off the screen what I wrote the first time around, I just literally closed my eyes and typed from memory, incorrectly but so be it. I rather actually push the buttons that I supposedly type, do the work I allegedly do, type every character I supposedly type when it's prose. It's not a waste but even if it were there are much worse things than absolute waste.
The down payment would only be 10% of that. Existing or new house would be same, houses that are bought for rent are only available through mortgages which are a pain.

When I was younger I would really like to have more houses to rent... I don't really care if they provide a service or not, it's the cheapest and more liberating option available.

If the neighbors are a hell... I could just move out. Or if the house was not close to a gym I liked... move out.

> The airport is absolutely in the wrong here.

Nitpick-- it is a RyanAir policy, not an airport policy.

RyanAir was absolutely in the wrong here.

I've been burned one time too many by RyanAir's deceptive pricing schemes.
The UK is getting hit much harder than other countries.

People talk about Germany being dependent on gas but for heating I think they're about 50% gas while in the UK it's more like 80% and the UK is far behind in insulating homes to be cheaper to heat.

Combine with a government that doesn't actually want to help (which may explain why the houses are so expensive to heat in the first place) and it'll hit much harder.

Combine with a political system designed to let a minority keep control plus Brexit and things could get bad.

Note, I don't think the problem is unsolvable, I just think a lot of the people responsible for solving it will be looking for ways to make themselves money from the chaos.
Just a correction; it's the British Empire, not "English" - the Scottish for instance were over represented in terms of colonization, and don't forget Ireland in its entirety was "British" at the time.
Being able to synthesize information, and write, is a talent that is completely different from being a developer.

The world is full of examples of fantastic developers that cannot show others what to do.

I have been a coach, but not an elite Olympic athlete.

Look at all the great sports coaches - they were not Superbowl or World Series winners.

I've always hated the saying, "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach." Teaching is a skill. Great teachers have great teaching skills. We've all had crap teachers, we've all had great teachers.

If I read 500 books about developers, and talk to 500 great developers, and I have enough knowledge about development, and can then put together an enjoyable read that imparts great knowledge that is correct, even if I can't develop myself, that's fine, if the information is actually correct.

To your point of working 20 years as a developer: I was in a sport a long time and pretty much sucked at it, trust me, so many people were way better. I was better than 99.9% of the general population, but of those elite in the sport....no. But I REALLY enjoyed being a coach, it was great. And, the people that I taught got perfectly good information from me.

But, it wasn't like I was Vince Lombardi or Bill Belichick. Nobody knows me from my coaching, except those that I coached. But, if you are getting paid, why does it matter? Good enough is good enough.

I think you are worrying about things too much. What I know about you is that you are better than 99.999999% of the world's population at what you do. If you are not part of the elite .0001%, oh well, nobody is, except that .0001%. Not even worth bothering yourself about.
Everything has a runtime nowadays. Even C, even if it isn't all that large (including for example the memory structures necessary to keep malloc and free working).

I find the comments in the article align with analysis from this A16z podcast on TikTok
https://overcast.fm/+BlzHoDbOw

The point being TiKTok does a ton of labelling of videos that allows the algorithm to “see” the content - or at least qualifies lots of elements of each video. And then optimises for joy and happiness responses from users.

Chinese Influence in Hungary
Thanks.
What I loved about BS was few builders that I could drag and drop bs elements into canvas. Then just copy&paste the generated html. I had 80% ready ui, without the need to adjust any color, padding or marging. - the thing that i hate about designers using sketch & figma. Makes the project 2x more expensive.
Also tried bulma and buefy with vue but it had some serious limitations.
And after studuing tailwind--that's just horrible. As programmer bootsrap gave out of the box gui blocks to use without a mess.
Most stone-age thing that i've seen lately was Flutter - putting all the paddings and other style back in to same place as "business logic" javascript. That's just opposite of learning from your mistakes..
It seems like one idea in there is to store it both ways automatically (the HE variant)! That might be better then manually continually copying between your row store and your column store.

> If you made a law to force AirBnB to share data on who is making the listing with the government, you have your register of who to tax/etc.

Airbnb will probably follow your law, but other platforms that do not will flourish. They will be difficult to regulate, given that they won't be in your jurisdiction.

> You could also make laws to limit the number of properties per person.

Many laws already exist that give unfavourable tax treatment to second and subsequent properties. They are widely avoided through family members and legal entity structures and a hand-wavy "map of relationships between people" isn't going to magically fix that. This would also have a fairly obvious negative effect: it would artificially limit supply in the rental market, driving up prices. A person who could have invested in multiple properties and supplied them to the rental market will instead supply at most one, and invest the rest of their money elsewhere.

There isn't some nefarious conspiracy preventing effective regulation in this area. It's just a legitimately hard problem.
People here and in media seems to be only obsessed about the naming scheme.

But I have an important question I haven't seen anyone address - does the 80 Gbps performance means the eGPUs will be that much less constraint? Will this enable true gaming and AI work with a laptop connected to an eGPU?
Hah!
That's a good one.
Morally you are right and I agree with you, I think it's utterly repugnant that the airline won't accept cash in a context where there's no reason not to and the situation is so stressful for the passenger.

However, the concept of "legal tender" is very limited and unfortunately could not be used here to put pressure on Ryanair. Cash being legal tender only means that it must be accepted as settlement for an incurred debt, which was not the case here. What's more, I seem to remember that technically it only means it in the context of legal disputes, such that the cash will always settle the debt if deposited at the corresponding court (or something like that).
Payment should be linked to checking OR the flight departing (even if late) regardless of whether you are checked in.

If the flight is cancelled then you are charged nothing.

And this saves getting a refund.
Yes, it's great that those people are forced to follow the same laws as everyone else.
Yes! We're watching cloud-hypervisor as well, it might also be more suitable for our use cases.

Yes, we did look at live migrations since there's a lot written about it and it's the closest to cloning a running VM. Lots of development in that space!
why you are hiding your pool though?

and why should I pay for it and not you?
That’s just the way the game goes. Perhaps you’re not familiar with the TV game show Countdown, but it has been around for decades in case you’re interested in checking it out on YouTube. But I’d personally recommend the comedic variant “8 out of 10 cats does Countdown”.

RIP Sean Lock :’(
Ryanair I imagine will do a workaround. Buy an inflight meal meal for 50EUR (advance payment) and the flight is free.
48V is the max dry “skin” safe voltage that won’t cause a shock.
How are customers having a heart attack free to choose the level of care for their need and budget? Or poor cancer patients? Yes, Medicare might help but that brings up another layer of bureaucracy and constraints to be managed by the patient.

A society is much better when it's healthy, leaving health to be taken care by the law of the jungle isn't really building a healthy society.
Weird that it disappeared after posting
I do not think that it is "all republican/right-wing" platforms. It is just that these are more amplified because of former POTUS.
I made a habit of never replying to spam. You leak information about your email address being valid if you do. If you don't, the spammer never knows if the email was blackholed or delivered to an actual inbox.
> Slowly but surely, decision after decision, cut by cut, the insatiable desire of central authorities to stick their fingers in every part of your life has led to the brute forcing of encroachments on the free market that has given a very select group of people control over money, energy, food, healthcare, and your "civil liberties".

Insanely naive libertarian point of view with an axe to grind. Honestly kind of embarrassing, reads like it was written by a teenager. And implying the 2020s are a disappointment compared to the roaring ‘20s is really telling.
I haven’t followed them enough but is it possible to support them without supporting other charitable causes of a political persuasion I don’t support? I fully support everything directly related to their cause but it gets me very upset when charities are supporting other various agendas around gender/immigration for example that are unrelated to their main goal.
Ah that's the same video that I linked to. Except the version I found was wrapped in a history channel introduction. Artificial is what i said, it doesn't seem real.. thanks for the link
Have you ever "played" Space Engine? Zooming around the universe with a speed approaching megaparsecs always induces a sinking feeling in my stomach and a sense of insignificance, and it's a little bit what I'd imagine the Total Perspective Vortex from The Restaurant at the End of the Universe would feel like.
Politicians and big corporations steal or waste tax dollars every day and nobody bats an eye.
I'm not convinced it's that difficult.

It would be pretty easy to just detect new extensions by looking at historical satellite images, and then manually check if they had approval.
ok but if the tax authorities in France are anything like the tax authorities in other countries they will levy the taxes and it's up to you to prove a false positive while the fines etc. rack up.

What do you mean by great concurrency? Last I checked multithreading was still hidden behind an experimental compiler flag, which turns me off a bit...
I appreciate you going into such details, but I think we're losing the original perspective here. What I was talking about is, parents decide so many things for their children, justifiably so. This is just one thing where they could leave the decision to be taken by their child himself if and when he starts to care and understand the consequences, with the only downside being slight hindrance to pleasing their own ego.

PS: Privacy is a right, not a mere condition. In country of my residence it's meant to be protected by the constitution, so I think it qualifies.
I can’t think they’re after people who don’t declare their pools. They’re after people who build swimming pools on land where it’s illegal to build them, making the value of their land much higher than it is worth.

In france there are tons of places where it’s illegal to build pools, but if no one notices for 10 years, you’re officially off the hook, so a lot of people try their luck.

The firemen too like to have swimming pools around in dry areas as water reserves. So even if someone finds out about your pool, you may still get away with a fine.

It’s all a bit weird
I like A, as it iterates toward C anyway.

You can deliver value with the naïve implementation delivered quickly.

If Mary Jones has further requirements that were not considered at the outset, now she'll be able to consider them.

Yeah, I find the whole nations issues sort of confusing though. We have spent the last 10-15 years voting to make things worse. Our political systems are shit, and we decided NOT to change them. Our PM is a joke and won by a landslide.

Now everyone is acting surprised that the place is getting worse, the government are incompetent and nothing can be done about it.

I am sorry for people who didn't vote for this (including myself), but I have to admit we are a minority and we should really just emigrate...
It's not just engine evolution, but TEL was replaced by non-lead additives, not removed. And the fuel mix impacts values critical for aviation but mostly irrelevant to cars, like fuel vaporisation for given temperature/pressure (this is AFAIK major issue with ethanol added to fuel and source of limits on use of MOGAS in aircraft) as well as impact in performance which are pretty much impossible to notice for a car (except maybe if you have engine with sparkplugs designed for leaded fuel) but matter of life and death in airplane.
You'll be even more impressed when you see Windows running on Linux on KVM with hardware passthrough, because that's what WSL is, a glorified VM with hardware-passthrough.
For this kind of job it's definitely not bad. Slightly above average in my opinion
The privacy problem with Instagram isn't what people post on it (they want it to be seen publicly), it's what the disgusting company behind it collects in the background as you interact with it (who may be a non-Instagram user and just need to visit an Instagram link you've been sent).

People don't use Bibliogram (or other alternatives) to access unauthorized data (all it displays is the same data visible on the web or via the app), it's to be able to browse without being stalked by Facebook and avoid their dark patterns.
