If I have a know I have problem, I'll look for a solution myself, and perform an objective comparison. I don't need some marketing asshat's stilted sales copy designed to con idiots into buying.

Convincing people who are happy that they have problems they need to spend money to solve for your personal benefit is morally dubious at best.

In your experience how much of this is attributable to a party of the contract trying to sneak favorable terms into the agreement? Generally I am a fan of Hanlon's razor, assume ignorance/stupidity over maliciousness, but given the nature of the subject matter I am very suspicious.

To learn programming, I think, doing helps. So keeping something online to copy-type/try, understand (and repeat) has been a preferable way for me. Ebooks work for this workflow better. I can easily skim the content and get to the point soon with ebooks.
In that case freedom of speech is generally defined according to Mills in On Liberty which still doesn’t acquiesce to the application suggested of social media.

“Don’t ever take ‘can’t’ as the answer unless you’ve verified that it is against the law or against the powers of physics,” Kevin wrote in his memoir.

I like having a physical reminder of books I should be reading. I do eventually get to them. With ebooks it’s not the same. Plus I can read it away from a computer and other distractions. The value of my time spent reading a book dwarves the actual cost of the book and if I decide I’m never going to read a book I can donate it. I also get ebook copies of the same books as a reference I can access anywhere.
> Why drop curly braces?

What do you mean? It uses curly braces for compound statements. But it doesn't require curly braces to define a one-line function.
Looking at Texas school funding laws, I expect the complexity is aimed at Charter Schools.

I didn't look into the details, but schools with poor attendance can have their "excess" local revenues claimed by the state (state law specifies what excess means). Charter schools don't have local funding (and can play games to pick their students).

The measure above appears to be for adjusting a relief measure for the elderly and disabled downwards when their obligation is reduced (which if it only reduces the relief, could reduce it to 0 over time).
How would you handle things like change on a 1 dollar item with 10% sales tax? I use a dollar and a dime to pay for a coffee refill regularly, and no coins smaller than $0.25 would be messy without forcing prices to go up/down to round evenly or elminating all cash. Rounding to the nearest cent now isn't an issue since sales tax should always be roughly an integer percentage, but rounding to quarters is problematic.
My point is that fixed-rate jumbo loans are not a taxpayer subsidy, they're a banking subsidy. The bank is left holding the bag for existing jumbo loans when interest rates move against them.

There is some historical validity to the point that fixed-rate mortgages existed because of taxpayer subsidies. The creation of the FHA during the New Deal, and Fannie-Mae shortly after that, basically jumpstarted the practice. But there's a difference between jumpstarting the a market and continued subsidy of it. The existence of jumbo loans is an indication that even without taxpayer subsidies, fixed-rate mortgages still exist, presumably because the expectation of price stability means that private institutions don't think that the risk of interest rate variability is that great (jumbo mortgage borrowers usually pay about 0.5% more, so that's the implied risk premium). This can change during times of high price variability - my parents mortgage was 13.5% back in 1978, because expected inflation was about that. But that also indicates that interest rate risk is primarily absorbed by the private markets, and taxpayer subsidies play a relatively small part in it.
Kid sounded like an ultra capitalistic incarnation of Von Neumann. I suppose growing up dirt poor does that to a person.
To be fair, you should use different profiles for your work and personal digital lives.

There are always threats, but these companies being paranoid, are always on the lookout for competitors. Facebook in the past had success defusing the threat by simply copying the competitor's app verbatim (Snapchat) and is trying to repeat this by altering both Facebook and Instagram to work like TikTok.

The reason I see TikTok as a threat is largely because the company ignores all the rules and regulations that protect the privacy of minors and adults alike and companies will want that data regardless. Facebook won't be able to supply it to them since it has to abide by our laws.

OTOH TikTok being based in a nations that's a strategic competitor to the U.S. may well mean the company is simply banned. IMHO it would be more fortuitous for Meta and Google to lobby for a ban. Fighting TikTok will not work.
I think there is probably a record breaking class action lawsuit here with the right lawyers. Damages could be 50-100% of Google's yearly gross revenue, especially when you include countries outside on the US who really don't like Google.

Google intentionally modified both geo-targeting and mobile app targeting, removing the options advertisers set. For example, you opted out of mobile app targeted. Then they removed the option and you had to set it in the domain blacklist. Then they removed that. This wasn't a one off, hid, modified, and moved these options repeatedly.

Advertisers didn't know that when you geo-targeted a location, by default it was set to users searching that location. You didn't want people in India who were interested in NYC? Too bad.

Remember the whole Adwords prescription drug settlement. This is an organization run by people who would be serving hard time if they didn't have a legion of lawyers and bottomless pockets.
I think it would be better said as "unchecked capitalism".

For the most part, the US democracy experiment had prosperity, infrastructure, and common good until about the 70's. The EPA was just coming on line with clean air and water measures. But at the same time, all of the careful checks and balances that separated corporate and public moneys began being eroded, to the point where we're now actually PAYING fossil fuel companies subsidies and protections to pollute while at the same time they're lobbying against any emissions sanity.

If the US were to remove money from politics, restore checks and balances, and stop subsidizing public harm, it could again say it's the least bad alternative.

One more reason for me to cherish my 2011 plasma TV. Also, it has none of that smart-tv non-sense, which is a big plus.
> Movie makers ruin sound that the streamer device have to correct.

It’s not the movie maker’s job to adjust the sound to your particular environment and taste. That is the job of the playback equipment and the person configuring it. The movie should be, and is, stored at the highest fidelity and with as much information as possible. This includes the original intended dynamic range. If your situation or taste calls for a smaller dynamic range you can easily adjust that at playback.

You can hardly expect movies to include hundreds of different soundtracks to cover all possible playback scenarios.
We know already how they will optimize to compete - more surveillance, more algorithms, and more annoyance.
Some of it is simple distance. Some of it is architectural choices because of the distance. A sharing domain that spans a large distance performs poorly because of the latency. Therefore domains are kept modest, but the consequence is crossing domains has an extra penalty.
I'm not 100% certain I understand it, but I see 3 sections in there:

The constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to provide for the reduction of the amount of

to reflect any statutory reduction from the preceding tax year in the maximum compressed rate of the maintenance and operations taxes imposed for those purposes on the homestead.
> What's interesting about it? If that occurs past the warranty period, you have to pay out of pocket to replace the defective part like any other.

> There's plenty of examples of bad design in motorcycles.

Sure, but you don't have to pay just to use the hardware you already own. If a part breaks you're paying 3x for that component - Once with the initial purchase, once to "use it", and again to replace it if it breaks. Do you work for KTM? You've posted numerous times in this thread defending these awful practices and every single response has basically been "I'm fine with being nickel and dimed because the company needs to make money too", which is nonsense because the parts are already paid for.
True to some extent. But digital money brings it to a whole new level. Now they can shut down accounts. CBDC will allow a finer-grained control of all transactions. The ability to monitor every transaction you make.
"Cogito ergo product sum" (I think therefore I am the product) would be closer to the original and more slightly-Latin-like.

What if you are looking, but an advertisement helps you find it faster?

As an example, I was shopping for a keyboard the other day. I spent several hours looking through different specs. It would be handy if a website would have popped up "hey, here are the 3 you are probably looking for, pick one!".

The benefit would have been for me (less time looking) and for three site (less server time serving pages to me)

I once was spending large amounts of money on physical tech books, mostly on new programming languages or frameworks. However, I felt that by the time I was buying them they were already outdated often. Today, I usually start learning by just doing it, using the new tech and keep my way googling until I somehow become comfortable.
Because there's lots of projects out there with absolutely horrible optimization. Doing stupid shit inside of loops etc. It turns into the blind leading the blind and churns out bad code.
Not yet at least anyway.

RISC-V is eating their lunch. There will be a myriad of Chinese design houses and fabless manufacturers churning out cheap cores for use in almost everything. When you're making a CPU core for a microwave or cheap trinket even a few pennies saved by not having to pay for an ARM license matters. And the freedom to alter the design as you see fit is worth its weight in gold in a hyper-competitive market

Yes, that will help convince people that GW is real and needs attention, and isn't just being overhyped an excuse for pushing socialism.

Interesting article, but the only mention of regulation of AI tech is a bit off, although probably not deliberately so:

> "In an attempt to regulate AI, the European Union has proposed transparency requirements for all machine-learning algorithms. Eric Schmidt, the ex-CEO of Google, noted that such requirements would effectively end the development of the technology. The EU’s plan “requires that the system would be able to explain itself. But machine-learning systems cannot fully explain how they make their decisions,” he said at a 2021 summit."

It's very clear that recommendation algorithms on Youtube, for example, are heavily biased in specific directions. The operators of the recommendation system must have access to many dials and filters that control input to and output from the black-box-algorithm, and it's those dials and filters that need to be transparently exposed. Ideally, the user should themselves have access to the filters and dials.
Which Linux distributions are planning to use this new fortification level, and in what circumstances?

I can imagine enabling this in programs that directly interact with the internet, e.g., web browsers, email clients, and resolver libraries. I can imagine Debian, Ubuntu, and Red Hat enabling it. It would especially make sense for Tails, at least in some cases. But that doesn't mean it will happen. I'd love to hear more.
Very interesting. Qursan seems one of those old words that existed forever, especially that it described a phenomenon mainly associated with the past.

Also of major importance is the fact that the word originated in North Africa. Middle easterners tend to treat Northern Africans as mere users of the Arabic language who are forbidden from contributing to it. This is a reminder that this can't realistically be accurate.

Also, I think qursan has a four-letter root (rare but not uncommon): q-r-s-n.

I have a relative who worked in bill drafting for a legislature. The structure of this stuff is sort of it’s own art driven by the deadlines as a lot of legislation is associated with things with deadlines like budget bills.

This isn’t the king’s English, but it isn’t egregiously unclear if you understand what it’s about.
Good point about embedded, smart pointers aren't that great when you try to avoid allocating memory at runtime and never free it anyway. RAII is still useful for managing other lifetimes, though. The last time I worked on embedded stuff the compiler we used generated often larger code for constexpr, so we didn't really use it.

My father recently got a letter from a law office. What it wanted to convey was "we saw you sent a bank transfer to Bob lately..." (this was not stated implicitly but it's the only way how they could get address to send the letter) - "FYI Bob owes us 10k, please don't send him any money anymore, instead send it to us directly; or if you send to his account we'll take it anyway" (now that I'm thinking about it, this could be a nice scam tactic, but I'm pretty sure that one was legit).

Anyway, the letter was written in such lingo that on first reading it was as if my father owed Bob 10k. Some elderly person receiving such letter could have had a stroke.
I haven't used Javascript/Typescript for the few years and some needed to refresh it, so I bought a copy of Modern JavaScript for the Impatient. This is great book, can't recommend it highly enough. Few hours reading and I was up to speed.

The trick is though that you need to spend some time choosing a book. Random software book is crap. In my case I needed a concise refresher, so I found this specific book after reading reviews for bunch of the books on Amazon. I.e. before getting a book, figure out what you actually expect from it.
> It's not us doing money printing.. it's uh.. COVID, uh.. the war, uh.. Climate change, uh.. corporate greed

If you think a pandemic (and policies to combat its effects) and a war including some of the main exporters of foodstuffs and energy don't impact the world markets and increase prices worldwide (inflation), it's just willful ignorance pursuing a (stupid) agenda at this point.
Yes, this is the same with me. I love physical books, but being able to hangout anywhere with an iPad mini and read is the killer feature that’s getting me to switch over.
For the longest time I've written my own smart pointers to manage the lifetime of pretty much anything that needs a cleanup - database connections, query objects, file handles, threads, mutexes and yes raw pointers.

All of this code built just fine on pre c++11 compilers, ran reliably, was performant and easy to maintain.

Rolling your own smart pointers is not something I'd discourage.

It's all tradeoffs at the end of the day. A better entertained, better informed public - enjoying their free IP paid by better ads - is worth the some-abstract-not-yet harms.

I'm not a doctor, but there are differences between the two words: "access" generally refers to capability and/or proximity whereas "receive" generally refers to eligibility for a particular service or prescription.

The word "get", is a vague expression of either of the former two words, but in common parlance is understood to be the latter.
Not that far past. Did you even watch the video? I'm talking about the Mid-Atlantic accent not Shakespeare.
Yeah the article pretty much pointed out that they weren't spending enough attention on making sure everything works efficiently. Like the fact relatively long expiry product like bottles of Coke still managed to expire (that kind of beverages normally last months to years) looks like some massively bad planning.
I have a plug-in for VSCode where F6 opens a global markdown file. That’s it. I use that for everything for years and I love it.

There is nothing stopping the federal government from arresting me, in California, for marijuana related crimes. And it regularly does (trafficking), because federal law supersedes state law.

The federal government choosing not to for most cases, and choosing to functionally defer to the states does not affect what it is allowed to do.

And there is a difference between making something illegal and making something legal. Once the federal govt says something is legal, supremacy prevents states from making it illegal (remember the Republican talking point about how the Dems could pass a national abortion legalization law? That works because of the supremacy clause).

Like it's really clear at this point you know basically nothing about how the us legal system works. Because you keep bringing up these things that just are not relevant. And I don't really want to teach you.
