Then your entire state, or at least, the residents of it that drive on the freeway need be in prison. Or, at least, to have their licenses revoked.
I wouldn't be surprised, but I don't think it really matters. What matters is that customers attribute some cost to the providing of the service, rather than it being entirely free of variable cost.

I know some Arby's are semi open wifi. They do have a web client after connecting that I think authenticates you somehow. But I have no idea what it's actually doing.
Yes, if it were not for the inherent risk that comes with it. If you put the cash in your mattress you only face the risk of losing it due to it being stolen or when it burns. You can get insurance against that it this would need to be deducted as well. So effectively you are losing money.

Now for money on your bank that pays interest it's not necessarily better. The bank can be robbed or simply go bankcrupt. And since the money there was used by the bank for various things, there's no guarantee you'll get it back. This inherent risk needs to be priced into the ROI.

So IF the government always saves banks with buyout, then yes. That's also why I believe it's not a great idea and people of such a bank should lose at least a part of their assets/savings to understand the fact that the money isn's just stored by the bank.
Yes! Had exactly the same thought myself.

There's a video of Hikaru Nakamura looking at some of the games identified by this report, and he was admitting that it wasn't immediately obvious to him: the games looked like good games (although I didn't watch the whole video).

So such a test of the system almost feels necessary for the chess world to see if they really can tell the difference between high level classical OTB play and cheating. It would be interesting indeed if ever the consensus was that a fair player was the cheater and the actual cheater just looked like "good play"!

This is clearly an oversimplification because the crisis of 2008 was met with extreme money printing which did not cause a burst of inflation and was reeled in with relative ease as the economy restored itself. If money printing were the variable then it should cause inflation every time but it does not.
CPI has asset components, like housing.

Central banks have one universal lever, and they use it. (This is by design, so it can be mostly independent.) The responsibility is on the fiscal side to spend it on shit that actually matters.

Sending people money without means testing is dumb, but politics in this age is dumb.

Unfortunately harping half-truths about central banking won't help with the situation :/

Your comment completely ignores the supply side of inflation, ie. food & energy prices. Ie. there's a war between the food and fossil faucets of Europe.

See also the whole baby formula debacle (sustained government intervention reduced the market to a very fragile one, and lobbying and protectionism prevents imports to the US), see the perverse incentives in low-paying logistics sectors (the big ports are all owned by local governments, and they are shit at responding to supply-and-demand, and trucking is of course completely fucked because the liability is shifted to the drivers while the profit is nicely shifted off of their hands, due to a relative large pool of potential new drivers to fleece).

macOS Monterey shipped with a firmware that could (soft) brick T2-based devices. You needed a 2nd mac to recover it: https://www.macrumors.com/2022/03/17/macos-monterey-bricking....

Note that unlike said macOS bug this one isn't in a stable operating system release. It's the equivalent of finding a bug in the macOS Ventura alpha. How else was this bug supposed to get fixed if not by people running the latest kernel and finding said bug?
Basecamp used to have a flat monthly $99 price:

https://m.signalvnoise.com/why-we-never-sold-basecamp-by-the...

I assume Basecamp must have realised the flat pricing does not work when they have so many users in medium to large companies. Hence the switch to pricing per seat.
Yeah chess is the perfect type of game for cheating - it has a tiny (relatively) gamestate, perfect information, and it's turn-based. At the level of chess player we're talking about it's sorta trivial for them to almost immediately memorize a boardstate.
I think it's a fools errand to figure out how he cheated over the board. Small electronic device in a shoe or belt? Someone relaying instructions to him via blinked morse code in the room? At best you're going to suggest something that can't be proven, at worst you're going to suggest something that can, and therefore hurt your accusations.
> This feels like a "terrorist/freedom-fighter" thing

Exactly. The author is stapling all the good qualities onto optimism and all the bad ones onto pessimism so that he can declare one good and the other bad.

I'm optimistic we can have a more meaningful conversation about optimism and pessimism if we forget this article.
> I was pretty sure Alfred Wegener (...) is a Balto.

The more apt conclusion from the article is probably that the Balto/Togo theory simply isn't as good a model for the scientific discovery process as the author was hoping.
I hate it when "zero emission vehicles" stands for "electric cars". We have trains, bicycles, and a number of non-car electric vehicles too. We should try to reduce the number of cars on road, not just make them electric.

Yes, that book is amazing. I've heard people say they reread it yearly which seems excessive to me, but it's been 3 years since I read it now, and I feel like it might be worth my time to go back to it again. Imagine it were titled "How to be an effective manager and a good friend" instead or something.

Absolutely. I closed the tab once I felt being molested by the scrolling mechanism hijack.
> How come these things are not secured against at the LCD controller side? Why would a general purpose controller ne designed to accept e.g. too high voltage levels?

Why would they be secured there? The device doesn't allow setting any of the dangerous settings, so noone will break their displays this way.

Look at cars for example... pretty much cars have systems in place not to overheat (thermostatic valves, fans, etc.). Most even have code to go into limp mode and turn off if they overheat. Now imagine someone taking the ECU out of the car, installing gentoo on it, putting it back in, and forget to write a script to check the temperature and turn on the fans when needed... the car would probably work ok when driving high airflow) but when stopped, it would heat, overheat and eventually something would break down. Do we need some kind of a hardware system in our cars to turn on the fans, or something that turns off the main relay, because someone decided to hack the software and forgot to implement sotware limits and checks?
To be fair, I feel like these things aren't real security devices. They're better rhan nothing, but highly vulnerable to any number of attacks, privacy issues, etc. These are convience devices sold to make people feel safer.
> Back in the AT&T monopoly it required a third-party device (the Carterphone) to actually be released on the market for their anti-competitive terms to be challenged and eventually struck down in court.

That's so american to think that another company should fix this. It's the state's responsibility to fix that, if people want it.

> How? If an idiot user gives their credentials to a shady third-party, it's the user's fault for compromising their own data, not Meta's. If a user were to print out pages of the Facebook web UI containing private data and then start distributing them in the streets, would you also blame Meta, and not the user? What about if the user writes down the private data manually, and then distributes it? Etc.

I mean content and distribution. Also, providers might be liable for not protecting the user enough. Sorry but your other examples are stupid and totally not what I meant.

Damn, I must've missed the models that come with DVD drives haha.

Honestly imo even on a tiny phone you can still tell the difference between 480p and 720p, not to mention 1080p. Not having high levels of compression definitely helps but only to a degree. I have a decent DVD collection from the pre-fiber era and honestly these days I rather just download a FHD version in a few minutes it takes to complete than take it out of the box and find a machine that still somehow has a drive. It's all just collecting dust.

If there is a buffet of food, chances are you won't eat most of it. But usually you can sample a wide range of different foods at a buffet. School should be the same way. It should present you with a variety of pursuits so you can find out what you like and what you are suited too. There is no way to tell if "maths" isn't for you until you've had a serious go at it.
Some yes, but most people are happily giving up everything they own to avoid pain and suffering of themselves or their loved one.

Just yesterday zmike held a presentation about Zink at XDC, it's very interesting to hear about all the issues they had to deal with (he's also a great person to listen to): https://youtu.be/0XSJG5xGZfU?t=6h49m36s
Obviously I've not looked at all of them but my main problem (especially with language books) is that there are so few good materials to learn from in self-study. Everything is "supporting the class room", or has some ridiculous split into (bad) contents and (worse) exercises that more often than not are the classic "draw three circles.. draw the rest of the owl".

And yes, people usually go on to recommend some vague resource that helped them understand just enough if they were starting from a decent problem already. (IMHO a good example here is vector math. If you do some stuff with 3d and games the problems are clear and most people will start from there and then learn enough to understand it. But just learning it in isolation is where people complain).
The ability to attach a detached process to any terminal should be a coreutil.

The streamlined version is what "screen -d …" does, so it's some kind of standard feature, isnt it?. The only "drawback" I see is that you have to plan ahead to use screen.

When I start long running jobs, I try do start them that way, so I can check on them (and their output in a screen logfile) from anywhere:

screen -L -Logfile "batch-xyzzy-221005a" -S "xyzzy1" bash job.sh

Now I can just check the log with grep or less, or reattach to it if some action is needed.
>How is this not positive?

Just repeating what I've been told, mainly by "older" women (30+), many people like that sort of attention, and miss it when they no longer receive it (more of a thing for 50+ people).

It's often not perceived as harassment or inappropriate, but of course it varies from person to person and also depends on how it's phrased ("would you like to get a coffee?" vs. "I want to cum on your face").
Webalizer is still shipped by default with cPanel, which although maybe not popular here is still by far the most commonly used hosting control panel. There are surprisingly few tools for quick log file analysis, goaccess already mentioned being a notable exception.

Most of the spike in energy costs for the consumers is caused primarily by how energy markets are designed, not by hikes in gas prices (which could only justify a small part of the price hike).

This tool did me a good service for years without needing any JavaScript. I finally decided to get rid of all access logging on my personal websites when GDPR came around, so now it's also gone.
While I agree that the permissions seem over and above what's necessary, there's a trivial solution available that I've been using for many years: create a Google account (or several!) that's exclusively used for _untrusted_ services. Would you really care if this - or any - app has access to an empty calendar, can access its empty Drive, or ends up adding an irrelevant email address to a spam list?

(By the way, it's not lost on me that you probably already do have such a setup, it's just, I know far too many folks who don't!)
Have you heard of “Green swans”?
Government debt is not like personal debt. Governments debt is structured and has fixed predictable rates (bonds etc). There's no incentive to pay down debt because the debt holders want long term structured repayment.

The only time government debt is bad is when the government can't make the payments.
Well...by my impression, "blaming the tool and manufacturer" is a rather simplistic and childish way of describing most of the successful national gun control strategies.

If you moved to the US, I'd suggest being very wary of gun ownership. That can feel very empowering. And it's pretty cool in a lot of social circles, kinda required in a few, seen less favorably in many others...but, unless our culture wars turn into actual shooting wars, there are few places in the U.S. where both (1) foreign-born people settle by choice and (2) gun ownership is net plus for the safety of your self and your family. (And (2) is dependent on you not merely owning a gun, but being fairly experienced in securing/handling/using it, plus pretty savvy about if/when/how to use it.)
With MKV transcoding you can get them down to around 300MB, DVD quality is pretty shit.
We are allocating and freeing buffers repeatedly. Despite freeing more buffers than we allocate, memory usage might still increase because of internal fragmentation in the allocator. Essentially, fragmentation might create "unused" space that does take up space. This phenomenon is called heap fragmentation [1].

This is perhaps one of the best explanation of the dynamics between the fed and the market as it actually happens.

I think the GP is saying, 2008's money printing did cause a burst of inflation in stocks, which would have otherwise fallen even further. Measuring CPI by excluding assets like growth stocks hides the true effect of this money printing by glossing over what most already wealthy spend money on.
Limited available evidence shows that people are extremely conservative with spending windfalls with much of it going to pay down debt.
Demand doesn't disappear. People still want the things they want. They just might not be wiling to pay as much as others would like them to. Lower the prices, and suddenly those people can justify (or even simply afford) satisfing the demand that never went away. People spending leads to more jobs.

So for instance, Bitcoin? Yeah, it's not the worst out there, but it's far from layman friendly. That's already highly specialized territory.
I'm kind of inclined to agree.

We want to avoid structural damage: Lost jobs, bankrupt businesses, lost mortgages, and so on. Structural damage leads to loss of real productivity, and real harm to people's lives. The only way I knew to get through COVID shutdowns was to devalue currency by about as much as we've done.

I didn't mind the short-term money printing, and I expected inflation to result. The inflation is painful, but the alternative is much more painful. My income buys less than it did two years ago, but I'm thankful I have a job. I was even more thankful when jobs were easy to come by. If my employer went under or I lost my job, I'd be profoundly unhappy.

The right approach now would be to accept a dollar is worth less than it was before, and to give an honest estimate of how much less.

Aggressively trying to control inflation by raising interest rates is a lost cause, and will do a lot of real harm. The outcome here seems to be that rather than mitigating the harm of COVID shutdowns, we've delayed them, and did a lot more harm along the way.

It is not only overdramatic, it is plain wrong. Humanity has found pockets of freedom from hierarchy, seeing as hierarchy is the root cause of slavery, colonization and exploitation. Contrary to popular belief the road to civilization doesn't have to go through the forest of subordination.

It is true that people need money to buy food and pay rent, and open source like many activities is mostly done not for the money but for pleasure. But in a capitalistic world you must earn a minimum of money to survive.

The whole mindset of needing a high retribution because you worked a lot is part of the problem. We need to switch to a needs-based economy. The more something is actually useful, the more resources should be put on it. It's a collective decision to make, and a collective isn't just the sum of its individuals (and individual wants and needs)

> There are multiple tells that this move, just like the removal of radar, is supply-chain and cost-driven and not actually driven by engineering.

I like the idea of coalescing multiple sensors into one, but I can't shake off the idea that relying on vision alone when you can sense depth through US or LIDAR is a terrible idea. You can fake depth data from multiple cameras, but it takes more processing and additional input should be a good thing.

NYU is not an elite institution. It’s a local school with mediocre students.
But that's part of the problem - not every school system lets you really choose a lot, and more importantly often does not let you choose to not take certain things, often with kinda arbitrary categories.

Nowadays, most papers in CS are filler (or even worse, sometimes they're just fraudulent), written to meet arbitrary bureucratic requirments. Sifting through that noise is really tedious.

Pessimism and optimism imply nothing about action or inaction, active or passive. The entire article is based on a straw man of pessimism that is exactly like the one he's defending optimism from:

> people mistake optimism for “blind optimism” — the blinkered faith that things will always get better. Problems will fix themselves. If we just hope things turn out well, they will. [...] If we sit back and do nothing, we will not make progress. That’s not the kind of optimism that I’m talking about

> Pessimism blocks solutions. If we always believe that the worst will happen, then what’s the point in starting? If any action will fail, we should stick with the status quo. Follow the pessimists if you want the world to stagnate or regress.

You've had enough of people equating passivity with optimism so you decide to equate it to pessimism instead. BIG THINK.
>we can hope that by then AI and other technological advances have made what we consider "economics" mostly irrelevant.
