This feature however is a Google feature. They built it into Chrome and then from there it was made available in Microsoft Edge which runs on Chromium. So while MS made the GUI choices that made it difficult they were really just following the lead that Google set down in Chrome.
Residential circuits are also protected by 15A breakers. You could generate a lot more than 40 amps of draw by shorting a (traditionally) energized circuit.

Blocking advertising should be on a cyber security checklist these days.

The fact that companies the size of Microsoft and Google refuse to properly sanitize their platforms is, just, gross behaviour begging for regulation.

It obviously costs them less in lobbying than it would to properly vet the ads they show.

Here's an example of Google advertising a scam: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-06-21/scammers-using-text-m...
That's a very different situation. For one, that's a first party request; I can refuse (in some states, in some circumstances). A license also can't contain private information; it's a physical manifestation of information that a person willingly surrendered to the government.

There's a huge difference between a cop asking a single person for their ID, and dragnet surveillance of people with a particular viewpoint.
I think it's unwinding the QE it did since 2008.
Maybe the difference between Adobe and Microsoft is that the latter has kind of proven itself now. In the meantime is Adobe very busy trying to separate the Open Source version of Magento from the paid version, called Adobe Commerce now. There is only one mention of Magento left on the homepage, about the name change. And is a link to the free version now where to be found.

You might be confusing IME with AMT. AMT is the IT stuff, IME is a different class of stuff (you can't use it as a consumer).

It's unironically pretty sketchy if you're read the Wikipedia page for it.
NEMA power inlets are weirdly expensive and therefore hard to come by. So if you want to have a wall-powered device with a detachable cord, using an outlet as an inlet and a male-to-male cord is a simple solution.

(And yes, I'm aware of other solutions, like using IEC inlets, but it just feels a little wrong to use one of those on e.g. a power strip with NEMA outlets.)

Reddit has a very bad antisemitism problem. It's a cesspool.

By no means is reddit 'the model'. In practically any sub except the explicitly Jewish ones, I will find an avalanche of antisemitism on any post that touches on Judaism/Israel/Jews.

Between Hackers, Masters of Doom, and other rad 90s hacker-coder media, software development really seemed like a much more awesome career than it turned out to be. If I had a time machine I would warn young me that it's really more like a combination of Office Space and Wolf of Wall Street.

It would be awesome to listen to Prodigy or Megadeth while hackin' with the gang though. I'm still down for that if it exists somewhere in the now-corporatized tech industry.
I'm trying to improve my search results by building my own Search Engine.

Over the past couple of years, the popular search engines haven't given me great results, and I've had to use a series of different engines, search operators, and dorks to prod out the search results I'm looking for, with mixed success. The front ends have also become a bit too feature rich for my use cases; I prefer a minimal front end with just search results, but most front ends have links to news, videos, drop downs, cards, cookie banners, SEO spam, and have too much javascript. Too much time spent loading and rendering the page, and too many requests, in my opinion. Instead, my search engine only take 1 HTTP request per search result page and is only a few KB in size.

Right now this project is still in the early stages, and mostly proxies bing's api with some minor adjustments, but if anyone is interested in testing it out here is the link to the search engine [0] and a link to the blog with an RSS feed to follow future updates [1].

I use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/send-to-mpv-p... for this (can also be configured to use other media players). My only complaint is that the extension looks for video elements (when invoked for the active page rather than on a link) and if it finds any it sends those URLs to mpv instead of the page URL. This is great when you need to run some JS to get to the URLs which yt-dlp? does not understand but mostly is just annoying because it manages to break things when mpv with just the page URL works fine.
IIRC that lead law was spawned in response to Mattel selling lead painted toys and Mattel was made exempt!
That was not a bad movie. Prior to the movie, I read about the Carnivore and the Magic Lantern program. Then heard them mentioned in the movie, and thought "Ah! Nice".
I am not sure how the UK tax code works, or what I'm looking at here (the "inside" vs "outside" part is confusing). At a glance, it looks like it wants to tax you 46% of revenue (52% of profit) at £220,000/year if you're a contractor, which (it says) is the same as earning £180,100 as a regular employee.

Those numbers don't seem particularly significant either way to me, coming from the US. Our tax brackets cap out at about 40% right now, but they used to be in the high 90%s decades prior -- and that's just the federal, and then some states have a bunch of other tax burdens on top of that. But personally, I'm economically pretty left-leaning and would prefer expanded social services rather than private wealth accumulation, so I doubt I'm representative of what the average person would consider reasonable vs excessive when it comes to taxes.

That's not really the question though. I get that a lot of people (probably most?) wouldn't pay more taxes than they have to, and frankly I can hardly fault them for that. Everything from our genes to our industrialized capitalist societies encourages in-group prioritization and selfish behaviors. That's just how this world that we've made works, and even the most fervent idealists dare not dream of making the entire world pool and share income. We just ain't built that way, and that's just opening the floodgates to insane corruption.

The more interesting question, IMO, is whether ANY of it is worth paying for collaboratively. If I could design my own tax system (and have a billion minions happily working in it...) the upper bracket would be insanely high, like 99% or some such, but there would also be a high degree of choice, per taxpayer, for some portion of their funds. Like there might be a mandatory % going to roads, defense, schools, health -- basic infrastructure, broadband -- but then each taxpayer would get to choose where the rest of it goes (say, space, basic research, the arts, land trusts, energy development, whatever). Two millionnaires would maybe each keep 50% of their income, spend 25% on basic infra, but be able to choose (within constraints) how the remaining 25% is spent. One than decide to split his 25% among various pet causes, the other might give all of hers to increase defense R&D. Basically a democratic Robin Hood, where an armed bandit takes your money and gives it to charity, but asks you, "Which charity?". Heh.

That's just me.

My question to you, as someone who goes out of their way to avoid paying taxes, is... how would you do it? Is some of it still worth it, after all the pork-barrel spending and corruption and inefficiency and bureaucracy? Should it all be private? Like take what you're doing, how would you ideally scale it up to country-level with a few million taxpayers?
If I read the site correctly it’s the last bit that is of particular concern. Why on earth does one need to make 220,000 per year independently in order to clear the same amount as some making 180,000 as an employee?
> I care because I just had a black out, and that requires booting, I care because I mess with my system and I have to reboot sometimes.

I have a very hard time believing you are talking about 5 minutes or more per year of wait time. Even two minutes feels suspect.

Personally, kitty or Alacritty or gnome-terminal or terminator or any other graphical terminal I've tried... they are slower to start but it's under 2s, and faster on second load (let's say 1s). It's hard for me to imagine the amount of agony & bitterness, the "I am being deprived of valuable time" for something that costs let's generously say 10 instances of 2s a month, not even a full minute.

And no one is forcing you to switch off what you have. No one is forcing you to stop using serial console or whatever else.

People need to dial down their outrage. This is a huge social problem online. People are vastly overconcerned. Ya'll are not being reasonable. You are being absolutist & maximalists about very particular narrow concerns.

> I care because I expect software to improve, not get worse.

You have an exceedingly narrow & particular view of progress. And it's conservative in that it recognizes & permits no other forms of growth or advancement. You have a high concern that trumps all other concerns & nothing but your own particular view matters.
You're thinking about narcan. It binds with the opiates in your system and pulls them out of your neurotransmitters.

This is an actual vaccine, it trains your immune system to respond to the substance. Once that training is done, you don't need any amount of the original vaccine substance to be in your body.

Besides, how would that even work if you took the vaccine and a month later used meth? That vaccine isn't in your body anymore.
Kind of you to share, Adam! You have awesome podcast episodes as well!
I’m fascinated by how different people define being “free”. From my perspective legal sports betting, legal medical and recreational marijuana, not banning books, not dictating what teachers can/can’t teach, freedom to protest without being run-over, biometric privacy, and choice for women makes for a “freer” place than having loose gun laws and slightly lower taxes.
I'd recommend The Internet's Own Boy, Buckaroo Banzai, Real Genius, Office Space, or Bret Victor's Inventing on Principle ahead of Hackers and Sneakers.

Startup.com is pretty good as a movie about startups (I lived just about every minute of that movie, just at a different company) but it doesn't have any actual hackers in it.

I hear Risk and Citizenfour, both about Wikileaks, and Revolution OS, about Linux and the GNU and open-source movements, are pretty good, but I haven't seen them.

The Internet's Own Boy in particular has 8/10 on IMDB, 93% "Fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes, handily beating both Hackers and Sneakers, and is under a Creative Commons license: https://archive.org/details/TheInternetsOwnBoyTheStoryOfAaro... which

I found it very hard to watch because Aaron was a friend of mine.

The Matrix is nominally about hackers (and even, like Hackers, computer security) but, as with Startup.com, hacking doesn't really enter into the movie much; instead it's all running firefights and magic disguised as computers. Like Hackers and Sneakers, it bears the same relationship to hacking as https://axecop.com/ (a comic scripted by a five-year-old) bears to law enforcement. However, it's enormously more popular than all the movies above, even if its Rotten Tomatoes ranking is lower than The Internet's Own Boy.

I hear Masters of Doom is pretty good but I haven't watched it.
I used to think that Python was the answer to this. Not dealing with dependency hell or any other "enterprisey" features, just plain Python with maybe a graphics lib for outputting graphics to the screen. It requires almost no rituals to get something going. But of course, you have to boot into your OS first, open a text editor or IDE, etc -- it doesn't replicate the "instant on" appliance feel of the C64.

I loved my C64 and BASIC was my first programming language... but boy was it limited. It wasn't a good BASIC for the standards of its time. It was hard to program games with it, and in order to do any graphics you had to PEEK and POKE, which can hardly be considered "programming in BASIC" or user-friendly...
sd seems to provide a description for the command, too, which your solution wouldn't provide.

> IMO is the encryption process which is clumsy

I completely agree. Even though it reduces security/privacy, the fact that Signal doesn't make the user think about having to deal with managing keys I think is a very user-friendly feature. iMessage does this as well for its encryption.

> The process of granting one client through another has never worked for me

I pretty much only use my security key when logging into a new client, because I have also found that process can be unreliable.
This reminds me a lot of the windtraps in Dune. I'm sure Frank Herbert took inspiration for them, as he did with many aspects of the culture and technology of Arrakis, from the lives of real desert peoples, but it's really cool to see a real life version of something you read about in a Sci-Fi novel.
While fun to think about, you'd be giving them plenty of reason to put you in jail for a long time.
If you're not allergic, I suggest peanuts as a snack. They're 'good enough' as long as you stick to dry roast/basic salted, they have decent-enough nutritional balance, and can be had dirt cheap.

I'd eyeball a single-ish serving of them and slowly snack on them (one at a time, maybe not everyone's preference) if I want something to help tide me over.

I have seen my own children develop their understanding of the world through such stereotypical behaviors that it further solidifies my appreciation of just how much human behavior is derived from innate instinct.
Does that take into costs of employment of employee benefits (like providing healthcare, worker's comp, retirement income, various insurances, accounting, payroll, etc.?) Not sure how it all works in the UK.

In the US, at least, companies provide a lot of benefits that contractors don't get and have to buy out-of-pocket... but not sure if that's what the difference comes from in this case.

Fair enough. But I have to say - your first line makes no sense. Two of the three things you mentioned, I assume you know, don't work 100% of the time. And IUDs are a giant lol from me, many dudes don't even like putting on condoms and you want women to stick this plastic thing in their vagina? So it's all on the woman, and then if she gets pregnant, its STILL all on her, and all decided by a bunch of 'religious' white guys.

Is your argument women just shouldn't have sex?

Besides the point I agree, but goes to show since this argument was introduced by you as blow back against vaccines and the politics of the current conservatives, that maybe 'their' political rhetoric is a bit wonky. That's the asymmetry I was pointing out in my original comment.

You can't just 'both sides' everything blindly.
There's not a big risk of overcurrent here, since the 15A breaker will trip on overcurrent even when it's being backfed. The main hazard with these suicide cables is of electrocution, both inside your house due to the exposed blades being energized, and of linemen working to restore the power.

In no way do I speak for my employer, but on a personal level, this has been amazing for me and I'm so grateful the company did this.

I'm very conservative about investing, and don't want to have a large amount of my portfolio tied up in the company I work for. I'm maxed out on cash (there's a minimum equity portion at my level) and my additional income goes into a broader portfolio of investments.

I'm not sure we can properly say these monkey troops are domesticating dogs. Mainly because dogs, even feral ones, exist as a product of past domestication by humans.

I have a feeling that if these monkeys were around wolves there would not be any interaction resembling domestication.
1. Given that you agree this is subjective, it follows pretty indisputably that this feature qualifies as “really good”. Perhaps your pov on disliking carousels is a negligible outlier in the population of people who consider iMessage “really good” :)

2. 3. Sure.
But nobody using iPhone to take group pictures is going to share it on FB messenger instead of WhatsApp or iMessage. I mean, the only reason we _don’t_ share on WhatsApp is the loss of quality and tight integration into iOS. There’s a million better Photo Album apps on iPhone. Everybody’s is definitely using the built in app more than anything else. Similarly, everybodys _prefers_ to use the “really good” feature of iMessage of being built into iOS.

One would say Messenger is at feature parity with iMessage. But those people tend to be people who say stickers on messenger are similar to Memoji on iMessage. Talk to one the user experience designers and they’ll pick out a 100 differences.

4. Yup sure does. But that’s the point. Did I say Dynamic Island? Oh, sorry, I meant the new LIDAR sensor on iPhone 12 Pro which takes better portrait mode photos at night. Oh, sorry, did I say LiDAR sensor on iPhone 12 Pro; I meant the new ultra wide lens on the iPhone 11 which takes better photos with the bokeh effect. Oh sorry did I say iPhone 11 Pro? I meant..
ultimately, as soon as a new hardware feature comes out the first messaging app that supports it is iMessage. So sharing software artifacts of that hardware (photos, Animoji, Memoji whatever) is always going to be “lossless” when done using iMessage. The real feature is: preserving iPhone users’ ability to share iPhone features with other iPhone users.

5. Sure
People invest more in companies when interest rates are low, because shoving it into lower risk vehicles becomes less profitable / likely to beat inflation. As interest rates rise, the value of safer places to put your money, such as bonds, increases.
