The main character is supposed to die to protect the presumably low intelligence animals? He doesn't want to be there and he's trying to leave, and doing what he has to do to leave it. That's not a self-imposed problem.

Also, is this planet like ten square miles large or something? How much damage is the character doing to the planet as a whole? We all willingly pollute our own planet in a much more severe way to do nothing more than make our own lives a little more comfortable, and I don't think that makes us evil, either. Short-sighted, maybe.
The answer is no, they don't
These things are perfectly reasonable in the world of regular copyright. If you take a photo, and accidentally catch a copyrighted content in the frame, it’s perfectly fine, but if you deliberately crop the copyrighted content from your photo, and reproduce it for financial gain, that’s illegal.
Why the heck would I want to put HN in a separate window instead of with the rest of my tabs? I only want one browser window, I'm not going to change my workflow to accomodate a single badly designed site, nor should I have to.

(Nor do I have a huge monitor, I'm on a laptop...)
> Trust, but verify.

I don’t like that “but”. It implies trust and verification are opposites. To the contrary, verification is there to ensure that trust is not hurt in case of a mistake, misunderstanding, or whatever. “Trust and verify” is much better.

Well, there's SteamDeck anyway, so nothing should have been stopping you from Factorio addiction
BTW, both FS and xP are excellent. I use them both in various setting - mostly w/gliders and helis. xP (at least 11) is way slower to boot and a bit harder to use. For casual flight, FS is my go to. BTW, I use them both on a Rift, and they are both very good. (I actually would use FS more, because of the boot time, but the thermal sim in FS is way too weak, so it’s too hard to climb a glider. FS is actually a bit more realistic this way, but giving up a little realism for the ability to get to thermal more easily and to a higher altitude is with it. If I need to be scratching around for lift I wouldn’t be flying that day!)
Interesting... As comments have pointed out already, this might have to do with the fact that companies kept on hiring more people to deal with the influx of customers during the pandemic.

I don't question it, but I most definitely question how many of these companies blindly hired these people without spending a second thinking about consequences of their actions. Shopify was recently in the news for the same reason[0].

Instead of using estimated based on what you think the equipment should take up, perhaps you should take a look at the google maps link your sibling posted, and zoom into some oil wells (the cleared land lots) and use the measurement tool (right click) to get the area of some of them (which it shows if you create an enclosed area).

I just measures three, with the following square footage: 443k sq ft, 338k sq ft, 164k sq ft.

Each lot looks to have multiple wells, but there's a lot of just cleared empty land for each lot, so I suspect you're being very optimistic on your assessment of how much land is used for each well. The study cited may be overestimating also, but they cite their sources (even if they aren't explaining exactly where they get well land use amount from), so perhaps there's an explanation buried deeper in there.
You're not using the correct terminology to describe what you were doing...
I'm a relatively old person that still has lots of friends that use FB (and not instagram or tiktok) and 100% of my feed (except for ads) was stuff from my friends.
That's because you didn't come up in a time when people who fucked up like this would step down from their position for their clear and obviously failed leadership. You're not used to seeing what "full responsibility" actually is.

Full responsibility is a samurai killing himself painfully while his best friend cuts off his head to end his suffering. That's full responsibility.

This is, "I fucked up guys, here's 3-6 months pay and some benes... my bad. And yeah I know I fucked up last year too, but I took full responsibility then as well, so it's all good..."
I've written a tool to do this not once but twice now! The first was for ingesting netflow data, the second from ingesting AWS VPC flow logs. In both cases this was storing 'flows' rather than raw packet information.

I'd be super interested in tooling to help with this. I'm running – literally right now – a Python script that is writing about 100k flows per second into Postgres (TimescaleDB). It is batch rather than realtime, and it geocodes the flows on the way in.
If Sally is going around stabbing people maybe her rape story is a little bit suspect. Maybe she's deranged and is trying to do anything in her power to get the nosy bird watchers off her back.

I think the issue is the person that goes to the police and submits the report has essentially shielded themselves from all criminal liability. But of course the people the people who's DNA is being tested get no such protection.

It'd be one thing if, as a general rule, only people that explicitly consent can have their DNA used in a search. But in reality the police have this huge database of DNA nobody consented to be used to arrest them, and then Sally comes in, bloody hands washed, and gets to use this giant database of un-consenting victims for her own ends, but none of her own victims can benefit from her DNA, even though she was perhaps the only one of the bunch who willingly gave DNA to the police.

In other words, if it really is a privacy rights violation to test someone's DNA without their permission, and maybe that's the case, they wouldn't need to collect it because they wouldn't have anyone to test it on.
Round up the usual suspects!
But see, if you are in a place that isn't free-speech-abolutist, then who gets shut out by the free speech limitations? Marginalized people.

You are right to say that the impact falls on the marginalized. You are wrong to blame the free speech policy for that.
Design - I can see there being a lot of help with iterative processes and things like typefaces and the grid. There will still be needs for designers. Maybe even more than ever.

Illlustrators - So much of the output that I see looks like illustration more than anything. Midjourney seems to love that digital / procreate illustration style. I think this area might suffer in the years to come once the details and strange artifacts start to go away.

Painters - Used for ideation. While I'm sure there are physical tools that can mimic some sort of painting on a surface I don't see it having much impact. A lot of painting is layers, push and pull, imperfections, brush strokes and a tactile surface.

Photographers - If you're a stock photographer you will probably suffer over time. Overall though I think talented photographers are very much going to continue to work. Open up a Vogue magazine and you'll see there's a gulf between what humans are creating and what these tools are outputting.

Others - If you do cheap (not neccessarily bad) work on Fiverr you'll soon be competing with these tools for work. I would be shocked if Fiverr itself isn't investing in these tools themselves.
I had to fight this battle in 1998 with a DSL SoHo modem/NAT router (single box) with a 10Mb/S Ethernet jack routing through an ADSL modem with a maximum speed of 8Mb/S Down and 1Mb/S Up. The 'Up' path was killer with the PC trying to stream 10Mb/S Ethernet into a NAT router that could (at best) dump 1Mb/S up through DSL.
So a 10/1 ratio.

And yes, make your buffers too big (we had relatively tons of memory) and all you get is weird latency cycles as the higher level protocols over-send, then fall back. Make your buffers to small, and the total throughput falls off, bu the latency is far more 'normal'. We ended up buffer scaling based on what the upstream connection really achieved, so larger buffers for a 1Mb/S link than for a 128Kb/S link. We would start the router at 1Mb/S buffer sizing, and scale down if the DSL link throughput was less than that.

At the time we were working through that, a number of people would scream 'just give it more buffer', not understanding how badly that broke something like TCP.
Inserters can be used to place or remove research from the research facilities. For me that meant setting up the research facilities in rows, then having inserters pull some types from the top side downward, and other types from the bottom side upwards. Along with the large inserters there was more than enough space to build things with only a few belts feeding things.
Just a tyop.
I have used one of these cans. It is a straight push. You should accomplish it with a strong and properly sized stick.
This is just wildly exaggerated. Italian neo-realism, British kitchen sink dramas and the emergence (in France) of vérité cinema did just as much, if not more, to contribute to the refocusing of cinema on normal, working people.
Creepy Approach from a Software Recruiter
Physical security is standard practice for computer systems. It's widely understood that somebody with physical access can make changes far beyond what anybody can do remotely.

Those machines do have advantages, in terms of accessibility and clarity. Paper ballot design can tip elections -- most famously in 2000, and elsewhere.

Is it worth the tradeoff? I don't know. But I do know that if you're not aware of the reason we're talking about it by now, I don't know that I can help.
In Western Washington, I had a raccoon knock over a 55 gallon trash can (mostly) full of glass bottles. That made a hell of a noise.
>comes from hard earned lessons about the other options being much worse.

Your country is barely 300 years old and has had a single constitution for its whole existence. The US has learned _no_ lessons through its existence. It's a country founded by colons who didn't want to pay taxes to the UK. The amount of lessons the US can give the world is about... none.
> The biggest issue really is the tooling. SBT is simply awful.

This is backwards. The problem is that scala is simply awful. SBT just reflects the problems with scala. First and foremost, the authors of the scala language are either incapable of writing a decent build tool or they think that SBT is good enough. They have proven over many years that they do not prioritize the experience of developers actually writing code. Slow compile times are a much bigger drain on productivity than the superficial syntactical improvements that were made for scala 3.

The specific problems with sbt, needless complexity, inscrutable dsls, bloated code paths leading to slow start up times: these are all endemic to scala itself. The standard library is so badly organized that it takes 100s of milliseconds to load a simple hello world application: https://twitter.com/li_haoyi/status/1125674970829320193?cxt=.... Mill may be better than sbt in some ways, it's definitely worse in others but at the end of the day, if you are using either, you are stuck with scala and scala is very, very unlikely to ever get significantly better than it is today.
Better to do nothing than to make a mistake your political competition will point out...
Does anyone know if they've fixed the AI and ATC?

I distinctly remember in previous versions watching the AI aircraft bounce off the ground repeatedly in an attempt to reach an incorrect flight level given to them by the ATC. That kind of ruined the illusion for me.

It's a great sim, overall, I think it has a different set of priorities from MSFS, which is totally fine. I only wish I could have the best of both worlds.
I have flown a Cessna in real life but never a jet. In sim, I usually fly Airbus, usually at night or in clouds, relying mainly on the instrumentation and charts.

For your scenario, I think if it was an Airbus, the conditions weren't too extreme and there were no failures, I'd have a pretty good shot at a successful landing. If it was a Boeing, I wouldn't know where to start.

I don't think flying is that hard at a basic level. Arguably it's easier than driving once you've got your head around the millions of buttons and switches. The challenge is what you do when things go wrong, and adequately planning for that situation.
After his term as German chancellor was up (1998-2005), Gerhard Schröder became chairman of several gas companies that were (majority) owned by the Russian state (Nord Stream AG, Rosneft, Gazprom). There was nothing covert about the Kremlin courting Germany with its cheap gas - it was plain to see.
1 is bit low with number of customers that is both creators and users. But I would see the right number reasonably be under 100. With some geographical distribution.
This is a common complaint. The reason they do it is because... it works!

It can be counter-intuitive but this is often seen in recommendation systems. In music for example, the song most likely to be played after a song is... that same song again.
Edit on the above: I am coming across way more negative than I planned. I just want to counter-balance the underlying assumptions that a workplace is somehow fair, or has your interests at heart. They are collectively controlling ~50% of GDP resource allocation, they are effective dictatorships for the executive "class" and perfect competition that would keep them in line is rare in most industries.

Perhaps I am saying that changing the game is better for everyone than learning to play the current one well.
There's a design principle here, rather than just some sort of hubris.

In languages as powerful as Rust and C++ you can express programs which fall into three categories, two of these aren't very interesting, the programs which are obviously valid, and the programs which are obviously nonsense. We know what to do with these programs, the former should result in emitting correct machine code, the latter should cause a diagnostic (error message). The problem is the last group, programs whose validity is difficult to discern. The bigger and more complicated your software the more likely it may end up in this last group.

In C++ the third category are treated as valid. In the ISO standard this is achieved by having clauses which declare that in certain cases the program is "Ill-formed, no diagnostic required" which means the standard can't tell you what happens, but you won't necessarily get an error message, your compiler may spit out a program that does... something. Maybe it does what you expected, and maybe it doesn't, the standard asks nothing more.

In Rust these are treated as invalid. If you try hard enough (or cheat and Google for one) you can write Rust programs which you can reason through why they should work but the compiler says no. You get an error message explaining why the compiler won't accept this program.

Now, if Rust's compiler doesn't like your program, you can rewrite it so that it's valid. Once you do that, which is often very easy - you're definitely in that first category of correct programs, hooray. The program might well do something you didn't intend, the compiler isn't a mind reader and has no idea that you meant to write "Fnord" in that text output and "Ford" is a typo, but it's definitely a valid Rust program.

In the C++ case we can't tell. Maybe our program is the ravings of a lunatic, the compiler isn't obliged to mention that and we are in blissful ignorance. This also provides little impetus for the standard's authors or compiler vendors to reduce the size of the third category of programs, after all they seem to compile just fine.

Obviously it'd be excellent in theory to completely eliminate the third category. Unfortunately Rice's Theorem says we cannot do that.
After playing it for 2 minutes there are clearly two kinds of obstacles that could only be surmounted by some kind of enhancement. And there's a Metroid-style grid map you can bring up.

There's nothing useful about this kind of negative comment.
It's funny how people try to deny the simple truth that the site hasn't been fun to use in 15 years.
I'm a bit confused about why one would want to do this! If you become your own bank, what are the pieces you have to do yourself? (I imagine things like fraud?)

What products are poised to pick up if and when FB nosedives?

Craigslist is a clear fallback for marketplace (although there was evidently a reason people started using markplace in favor of craigslist).

Nextdoor/Reddit are just as much cesspools as FB groups...is there room for an oldster friendly groups replacement that somehow solves the cesspool problem? At least in my area these fill the void of not having local news - but instead it's a local bitchy gossip stream.

Social feed is the big one. Obviously insta for photos, if they don't screw it up. Do whatsapp/telegram/signal fill the void otherwise?
> Bells don't work. Cats are more than comfortable staying still enough to keep them silent.

Saw this with the neighbours cat, little sod is so smooth he doesn't ring the bell until he pounces and by then the bird already knows it's in deep shit.

My pair are indoor cats - they live longer and we are near a very busy road.
They made 6.5 billion in pure profit last quarter. The business model is sound the question is just if they are managing it poorly.
Second this, it is one of my all time favorites. I am always interested in survival documentaries and this one is amazing!
Maybe my standards are a few years out of date, but personally I think that DOOM or DOOM Eternal looks good (provided that you don't mind dynamic resolution scaling, though it helps the game maintain a really good framerate).

In addition, the Metro games (2033 and Last Light) seem to carry over the atmospheric environments from the other platforms nicely. Curiously, even something like the Crysis games (all three) have been ported over, as has Bioshock (1, 2 and Infinite) and none of them are dumbed down experiences like for the earlier handheld consoles either!

Then again, personally I still think that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a good looking game: a bit more simplistic in comparison to others, sure, but the art direction is good, everything fits together nicely and it's consistent in whatever it tries to do.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say Dan knows people bullshit, but it would be very weird to say "well, I guess I can't criticize the bullshit" just because someone else doesn't care about the truth.

To your point about people enjoying the work, they're still allowed to. Anyone can read what Dan wrote, and say "I enjoy this work despite the fact that (almost) none of it is true." I do this with Marvel movies, for instance. I do suspect that many readers did not realize how phenomenally bad Kurzweil's projections are, and would be disappointed by realizing that they are.
The Netflix one was so much fun, but "watching" it with my wife was a bit eye-opening for why the interactive bits might not be as popular; I would push for making obviously bad choices just to see what happens, but her reaction was just "Why would you want to do that?"
Surely there is a replacement out there? Like FB from 10 years ago. Any suggestions?
Wow! This extension is great! Thanks.

> I suspect people have also grown wary of Facebook's privacy practices like I have

I do not think this really tracks for the average user. Most people use social media because they a) want to be seen or b) want content tailored to their interest.

Ironically, FB now offers neither. So even my wife, who will gladly give out her info for any sweepstakes she can doesn't really find anything particularly interesting anymore.
I am sure there is some strong correlation between drive, entrepreneurial success, an always-on churning mind, and insomnia. And lying in bed awake at night is a hard time to choose your own thoughts - it just happens.
The Steam Deck is not discontinued. It's actually quite new, with the first shipments going out to normal customers at the beginning of this year, and more and more going out now. I got mine in June. Valve made a reservation process that required an old enough Steam account and $5 refundable reservation to avoid scalpers.

Regarding the ecosystem, the Steam Deck is a x86 PC. It comes with SteamOS, which is an open Arch Linux based distribution. You are free to install other operating systems like Windows on it. The out of the box Steam experience is quite good, with lots of games on the Verified list[0], and they play really well. People also install non-Steam games and software, including console emulators, and there are growing communities around that.

It's like people didn't read the statement at all. He clearly says they're going to invest more into engineering and some other shit... so it's not about money. They're going to spend more fucking money. This sounds like a bunch of people got their jobs automated away through algorithms or intelligent systems or just whatever innovation you wanna chalk it up to, and they redundant to the company, so they gotta go.

This is why I will never be a CEO. I'd just come right out and say, "17% of you are expendable and I had your jobs replaced by scripts and a few machines. I'm going to use that money to buy more machines, hire more brilliant engineers, and see what percentage of the company I can replace by next year."
Shouldn't point 2) be start paying the pile of money back? Or allow investor to sell the whole thing to someone else who just want to live on dividends.
I'm sorry ... what is my 'conclusion'? I expressed an emotion... I've expressed no great logical conclusion.

Another suggestion re gathering data or threads from Slack: using Message Shortcuts for greater visibility/discoverability? https://api.slack.com/interactivity/shortcuts Might need to combine this with Slack modals for adding details (if it lets you do this)
Is not a bad discussion to have but the problem we have is that we can engage in an utilitarian/functional debate of option A being more beneficial for society than option B. The problem we have is that as much as we can stay in that realm, which is a civilizational realm, there are too many ideologues that pose as they care about "beneficial" things for society but they secretly are engaged in a sort of anti-civilizational religious war where argument doesn't matter: only them gaining more power over you and you just obeying more the rules, taxes and regulations they infinitely vomit. So as much I am not axiomatic, I am pragmatic in not willingly ignore these radicals.

Have you heard about Negative Dialectics?
Snippets from Zatko’s Wikipedia page:

> Mudge was responsible for early research into a type of security vulnerability known as the buffer overflow. In 1995 he published "How to Write Buffer Overflows", one of the first papers on the topic.

> He was one of the seven L0pht members who testified before a Senate committee in 1998 about the serious vulnerabilities of the Internet at that time.

And they say he wasn’t doing a good enough job at a company whose only job is to pass some text back and forth lol. Didn’t the breach happen because some slack channel inside Twitter had the password pinned to the top?
