You and @KBeyo are absolutely right.

It is two different countries and very different cultures. Just modeling US prisons on Scandinavian ones is not a solution. I could even imagine it making things worse in the short-term (a banal example would be "so the prisoners in Norwegian prisons have access to knives in the kitchen they roam freely, let's try that in San Quentin"...)

But I think we could start looking at the incentives the American prison system creates while also addressing the social issues that seems to be the root of a lot of the challenges. It is not easy and I can imagine it taking a century to solve unfortunately.

I agree with the other commenters. This is uniquely terrible writing.
I hear you, and I'm certainly not after Conglomerate Enterprise Tooling. But I think there's room for somewhere between that and makeshift tooling pipelines. Not everyone has to use it, but I'd like to have the option of an integrated software development platform.

Average dealership makes ~$2M/yr. Their margins are very high. I think you're referring to their margins on the sale of automobiles. Those are like the Big Mac.

Their service departments are equivalent to the much higher margin soda.

I came in here ready with my shrug hands to say "What about Plan9's Rio" but it looks like that was 2002, wow.
Not their target market, but I can imagine a world where plugging them into headless servers (like in a rack in a DC) might be simpler than having physical monitors hooked to KVMs (or more realistically the little fanless machine I have on top of my bookcase, which is just enough of a pain to pull down and hook up to a monitor and keyboard...)
That's not the point of this hypothetical question though. It's like saying you decide to break the train tracks in the trolley problem.
Careful saying there is no such thing, this is Linux, somebody will up and make it out of spite.

Not a linux user really, why does everyone hates snapd?
Fair. Thank you. You’ve just inspired me to fire off a round of emails announcing a 500% rate increase, listing the pretty significant accomplishments I have achieved for each client, and underlining the point that their businesses would likely not exist were it not for my support over the many years I have worked with them. I don’t exaggerate - many of them would never have got off the ground without me dragging them through the startup thorns and driving their first few years of technical sales.

Either they’ll like it, or I’ll just quit technology, as the resentment just keeps growing.
Unbelievable. I take it this was for a gas car?
It's a classic spherical cow model. It has no bearing on reality, although this pay structure is becoming more and more common; albeit with less then 50% odds.

How many companies have you seen with "contests" to get ideas or content. The vast majority of people end up with nothing.

It's not, actually. They're not running anything. In fact, they're doing the literal opposite of what your comment suggests.

It's pretty damn dangerous when there is a potential for a combined 90000 gallons of liquid hydrogen and oxygen in close proximity... the presence of concentrated oxygen GREATLY increases the explosive power of hydrogen and Artemis carries a LOT of both.

They kept themselves anonymous until they were in the clear it seems.
I wouldn't put it that way, but I would agree with anyone saying that statement omits a lot of information. Sure, it does, and it's pretty much the most general and abstract possible way of saying that. My beef with the article is that, despite its truly gargantuan word count, it hasn't added any new information on top of that statement. Once you know the thesis of the article is "The optimal amount of fraud is non-zero because security is a tradeoff and you want users to have convenience," everything in the article is pretty predictable.

I would have liked to see, say, some nuts-and-bolts discussion od fraud handling in some particular industry -- that would be novel and interesting to me.

When you say it doesn’t matter, consider how the attacker getting root improves their ability to persist, hide evidence, or prevent forensics.
For the opposite perspective: One of my uncles worked a non-union construction job in the 50's. He died on the job. Another uncle, who watched my uncle die, never worked another non-union job in his life, choosing to go hungry rather than working a non-union job.

> Not until you take it home and turn it on do you realize the resolution of 1080p strapped to your eyes is a pixelated mess

Well, that sucks. Thanks for the clue to never purchase without a personal demonstration. I figured SD would be like that, but really hoped that 1080p would be satisfactory.

But doesn't this depend on pixel density? If the displays approach the pixel density of displays of high end smartphones, I'd probably be satisfied with that. Even though those pixels can be seen (at 10x magnification), at high enough pixel density, pixels can be ignored when focusing on the video content. I used to sit really close to CRT televisions, which have huge pixels, so there is bound to be some improvement from the way it was in the dark ages.
The dumb is in the author thinking these are dumb decisions. $50M is nowhere near 50x as valuable as $1M, thus the green button is nowhere near 25x the value of the red button. For most people pushing red is the smart decision, not the dumb one.
Academia, at its worst, is a closed system; it should be regarded as a lucky coincidence if any practical ("real world") skills are obtained in the process of earning a BS/MS/PhD.
> - Have competitive resolution with my normal monitor. 1080p, as these are, seems like an MVP, but 4k is where I'd start to really use these.

When talking goggles, I would take a wider FOV over super high resolution. 4k smooshed into an image 30mm across would be a waste. That said, I can't find any mention of what FOV these glasses are.

> - Sci-fi: Support some kind of wireless protocol. A cable running down my shirt feels awkward.

I think I would trade a high quality cable over a heavier battery, necessary to support wireless at video bandwidths.

> It's way more dangerous than non-flammable inert gas.

Well yeah, but inert gas doesn’t really help you accelerate massive objects to orbital velocity. It is good for taking up space in the tanks as you burn the propellant though.

Edit: nevermind, should probably understand the context of the discussion before joining it.
Exactly. Years before the Ukraine war, a blind man could’ve seen what a catastrophic error it was to build an energy supply policy based on fuels coming from Russia.
That is not how "Education" works.
what about building enterprise features some of the companies on the website would buy?
As an engineer, I do NOT believe EVs can ever be viable. The thermodynamics doesn't work. The supply chains do not work for either energy or manufacturing.

I will never buy an EV because of the engineering analysis of this.
Ah yes, and there’s a 0% rate of peoples wallets being stolen.
seriously flawed perspective. it's a 50% chance of nothing versus a 100% chance of a life-changing amount of money. if it was $1K:$25K or $100K:$2.5M then you'd take the risk.
> It's way more dangerous than non-flammable inert gas.

I dunno, some inert gases can be dangerous. You don't want to inhale an inert gas that's heavier than air.
There are definitely companies in the UK that will pay competitive rates for tech. $70/hr is lower than the median contracting rates for the UK, and I'd be suspicious if someone with 20 years experience was that cheap. I'd expect at minimum to be paying 1000 GBP/day.

There should be free transitionary housing on-prem on-site with the prison. You still get free housing and food and you’re not monitored / can come and go as you please. But it gives you a stable address and base of operations from which you build your new life. This isn’t halfway house which are dorms - you literally get your own space.

I also have wondered whether probation officers have a positive or negative impact overall on recidivism. It feels like forcing people to have an additional stress layer that can send them back to prison on top of everything else isn’t actually helpful.
That popup is so incredibly bad. It alone means that I will need to install a different distro for my parents. How it got through quality control is utterly baffling to me.
As a user of software, that's what I've come to believe. Maybe individuals have intention of the software they write and the systems they create, but as an ecosystem, it doesn't feel like we're going anywhere in particular anymore.

That's a fairly reasonable amount for increasing electrical capacity, laying cable, and installing chargers. You can't just put all your chargers on one circuit, and running a whole dealership means having plenty of available chargers.

I'd also expect some of the cost goes towards purchasing tools and equipment for working with a significant volume of EVs. I'd expect some high voltage tools are simply not needed for most ICE vehicles.

In the Twitter thread folks mention it is after taxes. Looking at income alone and not other benefits is also pretty misleading. I’m not here to say I know how much better/worse it is in France, just that this doesn’t seem like a good argument.
The problem is that casting is explicitly not colorblind. Nobody would complain if a Nigerian studio did a black-only version of LotR because (presumably) they have more black actors than white.

It's the intentional woke fuckery, just so the studio can talk about racist manbabies or whatever, that is toxic. They're trying to start this very review-brigading as an excuse for however bad the show turns out. If it tanks they blame the ratings, not the material.
GPS was originally only for military use; opening it up to civilians didn't come until later. They didn't anticipate all of us pesky civilians coming up with creative new uses for it (like time keeping in our networks) or putting it in millions of devices that don't have strict maintenance schedules.

The convoy did things that were all previously seen in Canadian history. Occupying the street in front of Parliament Hill with vehicles, honking incessantly, being very antagonistic towards the local populace.

What was novel was the amount and time they spent doing those things. I had previously seen tractors occupy Wellington Street, and being generally very loud. For six hours. They afterwards left in orderly fashion, their point made. The convoy was delusional in the thinking that leaving after the protest was not part of the discourse.

Amazon sees the unions as a direct threat to their profits, but that doesn't mean that unions are effective. Amazon's profits going down doesn't guarantee that workers pay & conditions would go up.

I think nearly everyone agrees that unions are going to have a negative impact on profits, that hasn't a point of contention in the debate.
Passwords need to go away. The same techniques from War Games still work of finding a password written down or not changed.

Sure — do you think it’s likely or unlikely to apply to things like profit per customer in media? …do you think the distribution will be significantly different than mobile games?

Are you objecting to the general idea that highly engaged customers produce disproportionate impact — or just those specific numbers?

If the latter, okay… but that doesn’t address my point that it’s a bad business plan, just quibble about it.
Not sure where you are, but spend a few mins and see all the not-so-good things the unions have done here (Ontario, canada).

The idea of "forgotten its missing" really rings true here.

Every election they create some sort of "working family coalition" or such and spend millions on attack-ads. They have their guy in government and want them to win?

Why exactly are unions involved in politics? Why is this even allowed? Is this something the dues-paying members support, having millions of their dollars used on attack-ads?

Finally the party the unions seem dislike won a majority and passed laws to prevent this in the future: https://www.blakes.com/insights/bulletins/2021/ontario-passe...

The law was struck down as "unconstitutional" so the leading party used the "notwithstanding" clause to make it pass.

Look who was fighting it - "Working Families Ontario " This is not families, but unions. I dont know why they dont simply say "Ontario unions" instead of "working families"?
If you look at their budget, NASA’s funding has rarely been reduced and is currently it’s highest ever. Their political spin is that their rate of budget growth may be lowered or their percentage of the federal budget (around 0.5%) may be affected.

My perception (unfortunately) is that NASA’s budget is its highest, but their public contribution and visibility are near its lowest. From the casual observer, NASA looks like two decades of mismanagement and a lot of whining about funding without doing anything to justify what they are getting.

> You seem to have confused "the world" for "Christian Europe."

Not really

Yumboes are supernatural beings in the mythology of the Wolof people (most likely Lebou) of Senegal, West Africa. They closely resemble European fairies. Their alternatively used name Bakhna Rakhna literally means good people, an interesting parallel to the Scottish fairies called Good Neighbours.
Yumboes are the spirits of the dead and, like many supernatural beings in African beliefs, they are completely of a pearly-white colour. They are sometimes said to have silver hair.

Chinese mythology has white foxes and white tigers.

There are similar examples in all the mythologies.

> He's clearly not drawing entirely from "universal" metaphors of "light" and "darkness." And even if he were, mapping that to race is still ignorant and worth calling out.

Tolkien was a well known anti-modern, Roman Catholic orthodox conservative.

But mongol-typed are not actually dark skinned, they were in fact often very pale in the past, and tbf he also wrote "degraded and repulsive versions of".

Same way I could say, as Italian, that "Jersey Shore" protagonists are a degraded and repulsive versions of Italians.
The comment I'm replying to is showing a shade of grey, but this is a valid perspective, and reminds me of how Feynman attacked poorly worded, vague, or academic questions. I disagree that this reasoning is tangential to the question; it's an ill-defined question, and this comment's take pokes at that in the right place.

12 of current EU members lived under Russian occupation for >40 years.
Wait, there were no black people in Italy in the 1800s? Italy isn’t exactly far from Africa - Africans were part of the Roman Empire, and Shakespeare was writing about black people in Italy only a couple centuries earlier - Heck, Othello was based on an Italian story written around the same time as Pinocchio, and that one had a black protagonist, too! They may not have been a majority, but they existed.
I agree. People who will carry out this activity at a high professional level in creative agencies will have to deepen in the observation and study of language.

In addition to linguistic precision, the parameters involved in prompt composition, for a perfectly controlled artistic result, require technical knowledge, a sense of style and historical knowledge. The more related keywords involved in the composition, the greater the artist's control over the final result. Example: the prompt

_A distant futuristic city full of tall buildings inside a huge transparent glass dome, In the middle of an arid desert full of big dunes, Sunbeams, Artstation, Dark sky full of stars with a bright sun, Massive scale, Fog, Very Detailed, Cinematic, Colorful_

is more sophisticated than just

_A city full of tall buildings inside a huge transparent glass dome_

Note that the conceptual density, hence the quality, of the prompt depends heavily on the cultural and linguistic background of the person composing. In fact, a quality prompt is very similar to a movie scene described in a script/storyboard [by the way, there go the Production Designers, along with the concept artists, graphic designers, set designers, costume designers, lighting designers… ].

In an attempt to monetize the fruits of the new technology, Internet entrepreneurs will be forced by the invisible hand of the job market to delve deeper into language skills. It will be a benign side effect, I think, considering the current state of the Internet. Perhaps this will lead to a better articulation of ideas in the network environment.

Just as YouTube influencers have a knack for dealing with the visual aspects of human interactions, aspiring prompt engineers will have to excel at sniffing out the nuances of human expression. They have great potential to be the new cool professionals of the digital economy, as were web designers, and later influencers — who, with the end of social networks, now tend to lose relevance.

To differentiate themselves, prompt engineers will have to be avid readers and practitioners of semiotics/semiology.

Umberto Eco and the structuralists may return to fashion.

I think they are referring the initial debate of whether or not to have a large union presence. In the USA that’s still a big debate, and the fact that there are large scale work stoppages in Europe only further proves the point that they decided having a large union pretense is good.
After unions are established, then new debates will surely arise which seems to be what you are referring to.

> It is an obvious idea. AR/VR is hard. Dumb displays are not. I think we should have had similar products a decade ago, and if I'm not mistaken, these exist in cheaper SD versions from noname manufacturers.

These products have existed for decades. I can't find the one I remember seeing ads for during the 2000s, but Sony had one in 2011 called the HMZ-T1, they had a much earlier model called the Visortron. I think the widely advertised ones were maybe iTV goggles, but I can't find any history on them. Typically advertised as equivelent to a large screen tv farther away.

If you want a demo of a real product, call around to children's dental offices. Many of them have (or have had) these to help distract kids during exams and procedures, although mounting a tv above the exam chair is also popular (a lot easier with a lightweight lcd or oled than a crt or plasma)
Same. Snap killed Ubuntu for me. I don't normally care that much about change, I just roll with them. I got used to Unity and ended up liking it.

I've looked at UK rates and salaries over the years and could never understand why they are so low.
I mean, that sounds pretty obvious to me. I’m no geopolitical expert so I cannot picture what the world looks like in this scenario, but it would definitely be bad.

On the other hand, if the Ukraine war and related political stresses prove sufficient, we may actually see Russia split apart. That would make it so that China no longer has a single throat to choke with respect to Russia. It would likely have great knock-on effects with respect to nuclear MAD balance worldwide, since Russia has thus far been US’s largest rival there.
