What software development methodology does not work well under these circumstances?
I’m a pinko but even I think the debt is a huge problem. With debt above 100% GDP it means servicing our debt (much of which is not in long term notes) takes X% of our GDP where X is basically the prevailing interest rates. So in a high interest rate environment, say 7%, we need to spend 7% of GDP just on interest. This comes out of our taxes where it’s more like 40% of government tax revenue.

Essentially that means we can’t raise rates past a certain point without either austerity or risking a debt spiral. If inflation is bad enough that those rates are necessary to stop it, practically it means we’re gonna have to deal with inflation until we are safe to raise rates high enough to stop it. Which also requires some austerity in the short term while we wait for debt to become a smaller portion of GDP.

Funnily enough, other countries have it even worse than us, and they’re throwing a hissy fit that we’ve raised rates where we have (already at levels they can’t match) since it weakens their currency relative to the USD. That actually appears to be our current blocker of higher rates moreso than our ability to make payments, per recent Federal Reserve activity.

Keep in mind who was the previous chairperson of the FCC, and who appointed him. Jessica has been moving at breakneck speed since she was appointed.

Disallowing connections from the company is effectively executing them, would you engage with a telecom business (legitimate or not) that is unable to connect to the average American?
The FCC has been going after robocallers all this time. E.g., here's one from 15 years ago that I happened to remember, Cardholder Services: https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-07-977A1.pdf

The problem they're solving now is securing the phone network, which is a harder problem. Important barriers included 1) decades of history where it wasn't necessary, 2) entrenched industry players not wanting to change anything, 3) an ill-considered opening up of telephone system interconnection, 4) a quasi-religious deregulatory/free-market credo popular among a segment of politicians, and 5) politicians who are more sensitive to the concerns of rich execs.

I think the reason it is happening now is that a lot of the people arguing against this have finally realized that it's dooming the telephone call, so their businesses are feeling it.
I would like to know more about this exciting income opportunity.
>I'd like to see some compelling evidence that supports the seemingly prevailing economic theory that the US can issue an unlimited amount of debt just because it's denominated in USD and interest rates are historically low.

This was true perhaps in the 1950s to 1970s or so. It's not true today and very very not true in the last couple years. Nixon's actions back in the 70s set the slippery slope that will result in the USA no longer being dominate as a reserve currency.

What you are curious about is being a reserve currency.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserve_currency#Global_curren...

The advantage of being the reserve currency is that you can indeed print significant money at low inflation because so many other countries are the ones who end up paying the cost. It's not necessarily unlimited, but when you have a dominant position it can be practically unlimited wherein being able to rebase on a new reserve perhaps gold or bitcoin would still be more costly than assuming the cost of holding USD.

Which is why the euro was designed the way it is. They are effectively playing the long game. No single country controls the ability to print money and they have requirements which hurt countries who dont control their debt to gdp. Portugal, Italy, Greece, Spain are all in violation but they end up having to balance their budgets in the future. Greece can never print oodles of money to inflate their way out of their debt and deficit spending. Germany and france will NEVER allow that to happen. If Greece exits the EU it'll be their own demise with >50% poverty within years of that decision.

The USA will inevitably vote themselves more money, as they currently have, and cause so much inflation than the reserve currency hurts all the others and eventually the euro will become #1. When that happens European union will become quite strong and the brits will be kicking themselves for brexit.
There’s always south of the US border.

Making Central America rich solves the immigration issue that has caused much political divisiveness.

Of course many Americans will

I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is being done via Apple's private relay. If so, your IP address is not being leaked to anyone.
In fact, there are many many many more signals that your eyes give your brain than just a 2d grid of pixels, which is why cheap off the shelf cameras slapped all over a car CANNOT do what two eyes can.

Your eyes also give coarse distance info by having to adjust focus, slight parallax (which depends on a HUGELY POWERFUL and pretty good edge detection and object classification system), an ability to perceive distance by the slight difference in orientation your eyes have to look at something in 3D space, some information about YOUR OWN head's orientation and movement, and a brain with a rough approximation of a simulation of the world around you to constantly check/verify any info against.

since around the early 80s it was common to write large Lisp software using class-oriented or even class-based OOP (a few used also prototype-based OOP). For example Flavors for the MIT Lisp Machine was class-based: multiple-inheritance, mixins, message sending with single dispatch, ... CLOS (the Common Lisp Object System) then changed OOP such that it better fits into Lisp: generic functions with multiple dispatch, classes, multiple-inheritance, meta object protocol, ...
One of the drawbacks of those systems is that the code gets assembled at runtime (though cached) and thus to read and understand code one might need support from class/function browsers.
Is Apple really that important though? Sure, consumers love their Apple products but there are certainly plenty of alternatives for just about everything they make. If the US lost China as a trade partner, the entire consumer electronics industry would be in big trouble.
Yeah after they see KDE they'll really think gnome is good.
That's not how entanglement works. Operations on particle 2 are not reflected in particle 1 -- not instantaneously, not at the speed of light, nor at any other rate.

This is a very basic result called the No Communication Theorem. It's not in competition with quantum mechanics; it's a fundamental part of it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-communication_theorem

The verification of that fact is what this year's Nobel Prize in physics is about.
The interest rate hikes serve to squash the glimmer of worker power that has the ownership class so worried.
That's what I thought but on checking, it seems they've been stripped back to a bunch of Apple domains rather than blanket permissions for daemons, etc.
Russia’s ally is a stretch. It wouldn’t go to war against the west with Russia. Russia is a resource rich nation, and India needs resource. That’s it. The cheap military hardware helps too.
Building it on top of ProDOS might be fairly doable.

ProDOS provides an API for block-based file I/O that's fairly simple and supports multiple different drive types. On a 128k system you'd get a 64k RAM disk for free. It might fit nicely with the current code.

And ProDOS already lives in the bank-switched Language Card area, so there would be good chunk of main RAM to work with, a little under 46K from $0800 to $BF00.

Are we sure this guy didn’t

1. Copy/paste the link and send it to himself over iMessage from his laptop, perhaps to test it out on his phone or vice versa?

2. Send the QR code itself from his phone to his laptop or vice versa perhaps to test out scanning?

The fact that the user agent matches that of iMessage screams that the code is somehow in a iMessage thread and iMessage is trying to refresh a preview thumbnail, detect an app clip, or make sure a url is accessible. Add to that the fact that this requests came in the morning suggesting they happened when he turned his laptop on or unlocked his phone to check messages, etc.
There have been reported cases of using qr codes for phishing/malware distribution. Previously they still required users to actually use a qr code scanner, now I need to simply glue some qr code at a famous tourist photo spot and bang lots of people accessing the site (does the indexer execute js?).
How do you imagine the US can default on its debt? It borrows in its own money.
if you haven't collected money you don't know if you have real customers.

I wouldn't put a deadline on the 500, though.
I find the fact that the Defense dept issues stuff like this almost more interesting than the content itself. Says a lot about what keeps them up at night
The search engine is called Neeva [1]. It seems to be pretty advanced already. The results are responsive and accurate. I was surprised that they offered a maps feature, but this appears to be Apple Maps

One thing that surprised me is that searching for "php strpos" revealed not just the PHP docs for the function as I expected, but actually has the sections of the page visible in the first result, as well as a succinct code snippet in the description. The text does get cut off with no way to scroll, but still, having the function signature at a glance is really cool

From neuroscience perspective, it is the Anticipation of the task that releases dopamine, not the "Doing" of the task, hence the appeal of all the productivity porn.

And as a corollary, it could be the Anticipation of difficulty in tackling a daunting task that makes you avoid it, rather than the actual difficulty in tackling.

So, the best way to getting into the flow state and getting things done (pun intended) is to force yourself to just do it.

> writing what their readers want to hear

No, they're writing what gets clicks or shifts papers. Saying WFH is bad pleases a (large) subset of managers and enrages a lot of the rank and file, but they all click. So that's what they write.
I'm confused. Historical robocalls by legit marketing firms were largely eliminated by the rule banning making such calls to cell phones, combined with the do-not-call registry.

That largely fixed the problem from legitimate robocallers (except the handful of exceptions made in the relevent laws).

The more recent robocall problem (that this order is trying to address) is from literal scammers, who are knowingly operating illegally, hence why they spoof Caller ID, etc. These have mostly only been been a major problem in the past 5 or so years, perhaps a bit longer.
Also think a key question is whether there will still be NET hiring, if I’m planning on hiring 10 people over the next year, and am thinking about letting 5 go, that is very different than thinking about letting 5 go and not planning on hiring anyone
I wonder if it would work with airdropped photos too. Another potential attack vector is, if you are using VPN and you rotate VPN servers every day, a website can display a unique QR code that is now saved to your browser cache, and then the next day after you have changed VPN server (and now have a new IP), macOS scans the QR code and basically tells the website your new IP
When it's millions or billions of items? Sure.
You don’t purport to terminate a merger agreement (three times, no less!) if you are merely trying to re-cut the price.

Even if this had been a negotiating ploy, Musk (through his extreme bad faith, including apparent destruction of evidence) put Twitter’s board in a box where they couldn’t possibly accept a lower price without exposing themselves to substantial personal legal exposure. He already agreed to buy the company at $44 billion, after all. There was no reason for them to return to the table, and many, many reasons for them not to.
I’d like a calendar appointment feature where I specify when to disable/enable allowing unknown numbers to ring.
You sound like you are on a good trajectory. I'd start reading up on and implementing a firewall. Start with host based, then on a router/vlan firewall. Try out wireshark and view things like a simple wget, file download, and similar. If something weird is going on record with tcpdump (see wireshark docs for flags) and you can analyze afterwards with wireshark.

I'd recommend an IPv6 firewall if you can get IPv6, that exposes much complexity (I have 2^68 IPs on a normal consumer/home ISP connection). This will allow much of the complexity of a larger IPv4 LAN.

You sound pretty ambitious, just keep in mind that everything you mention is going to create state that you are responsible for. So implement backups from day 1. Last thing anyone wants is to lose all their photos, git repos, password database, etc.

Make sure your backups are in at least two places that can't be taken out by a single theft, flood, house burning down, company going out of business, etc.

Backups aren't backups until you verify them, do so regularly, maybe the 1st of the month or something. Verify files are exactly as backed up with sha256 or similar.

Specific recommendations: ZFS for any filesystem with 2 or more disks. Digikam for photo org and tagging, in a standards compliant way. Piwigo for self hosted photos ... that can use standard tags for organization.
If this is the very last service mission, pushing Hubble to L2 does make sense. More reboost missions will cost more than its current value. But if you just happen to have a Webb refuel mission in the two decades, you can add-on a Hubble service mission with very low cost and extend its value one more time.
That's expected, I think, because people want link previews (and I'd put money on what's happened in this case because it's the iMessages bot that fetched the URL rather than anything else like photosd or spotlight.)
The movement of electrons is almost irrelevant to the functioning of the circuit or transfer of power, and is only thought maybe in the first electronics lesson and then never again. (at least that's how it was when I studied EE school) And it has not much to do with the electrical current. (certainly not in the way most non-EE educated people would imagine it as individual electrons moving around carrying energy from palce to place)
First requirement is to have good upload speed at network where your self-hosted device is. Which is quite a challenge if you have only DSL connection.
In limitations it states:
>While there is no hard limit on the size of the Tree, in most practical implementations it will need to be read entirely into main memory in order to interpret it, particularly to support forward references. This imposes a practical limit on its size relative to the system memory on the machine. It is not recommended to store large data sets in the tree directly, instead it should reference blocks.

I would guess that HDF5 would be the better choice for large datasets. However I quite do not understand the capital 'Tree' in this sentence and what that means for practical data sets.
That and ukraine once the war is over and simply automating more and bringing manufacturing back in the west and western allied countries.
> Is Apple really that important though?

Yes, this is not even arguable. A national security concern as well.
Another reason it’s dumb.
It's a lot more complicated than that. How much more does that in-person employee cost, for example.

Even with the current uncertainty there are employees choosing to change jobs rather than go to an office. Even if you freeze hiring, you need to make sure you're retaining the employees you have.
> As long as you run services locally on your Synology (assuming it supports docker) and don’t expose them to the Internet

How do I do all this while exposing it to the internet? I want to host stuff for my friends and family without putting them on a VPN to my house.
> If using 2 words "battery" and "horse" then pad with 2 characters. The password becomes %%battery%%horse%%

This method is not at all safe, JackTheRipper and other password crackers already have patterns that include "combine two works with separator X" for brute forcing hashes. These patterns are trivial to automate for the cracking tools.
This is definitely a direction I will explore.

> in cities and other areas that actually have competitive markets for ISP

Ho, ho. Out my window I just LITERALLY saw a bald eagle swoop down on a tumbleweed.
Some countries in Asia seem to have a simple solution to prevent robocalls: the person who makes the call, pays for the call. They also seem to have functioning DND (do not disturb) registries.

Doesn't completely stop robocalls, but does reduce them by a lot.
It's not the task, it's the co-workers.
I wonder about deep links. I know ios can pass links to apps that register certain URLs. can this happen with qr codes (so although the os doesn't, an app can make the request)
This is questionable...

The 'best' algorithms for matrix multiplication are galactic algorithms that provide no actual benefit. Raw operation counts are a good proxy for speed, but the big-O complexity that people actually chase hasn't been especially helpful for this problem in the last twenty+ years.

There's a reason for having the Webb telescope at L2. The argument is much weaker for Hubble.
It’s moral because he’s a scammer who stole money and violated the law. He shouldn’t keep ill-gotten gains because he’s good at using computers and his victims weren’t. If this were Edward Snowden (say what you want about his dealings with Russia in exile, what he did should not have been a crime) I’d have a very different opinion, but as it stands this guy is a scammer getting his just desserts
In the late 90s, for me and a bunch of people here I’m guessing, Larry Paulson’s course on ML was the first time any of us had written a computer program. Certainly our first introduction to the theories of computation.

I feel very lucky to have been in the right place at the right time, and ML’s structure was a pleasure then as it is now. The history of the language is indeed rather interesting.
I think they find a N^2.778 complexity algorithm (obtained by applying their 4x4 discovered algorithm recursively) so this is not correct.
There is an 8080 emulator for the 6502 from back in the late 70s: https://www.pagetable.com/?p=824

I wonder if this could be creatively incorporated to allow running 8080 CP/M programs (albeit likely very, very slowly). I would imagine API calls could be forwarded up to the bare metal CP/M OS.
Wait, it's possible to spoof phone numbers?! Does anyone know how this works?

I'm 30 and most of the people I know who work full-time have no hope of owning a home. Healthcare costs are insane. Higher education costs are insane. Used car prices are insane. Having kids? Saving enough for retirement? What a laugh. The only cheap thing we've got is consumer electronic toys which haven't materially improved QoL in years. More young people than ever seem to be politically open to extremes like fascism or communism.

There hasn't been a single-day-crash, but some bad things have definitely happened economically. We just hide it in "hedonic adjustments".
"Smartphone" was a Microsoft coinage from the early 2000s used to refer to PDAs with phone capabilities running Windows CE.

They didn't trademark the term, so once the iPhone and Androids came out it was applied to them as well.

There are quite a few industry terms like this. "PDA" was coined by Apple to describe the Newton in generic terms. The term "game console" was promoted by Nintendo in the early 90s to prevent clueless parents from calling rival systems "Nintendos"; before that we called them systems or just referred to them by brand name.
The iOS app came after the Python community had adopted the term.
Flexibility about where and, to some degree, when/how-much, one works, plus how surveilled one is while working, is a status-related perk (and connected more broadly to social class). No surprise execs who are used to maximal freedom on those see expanding those perks to the peons as a threat to their own status.

"But what if they fuck off to play golf at 2:30 PM or sneakily take a vacation to the beach without using vacation time while in fact only working part of the time for that week?" says the exec, before fucking off to play golf at 2:30 PM and then help the spouse and kids pack for for tomorrow's vacation-disguised-as-a-business-trip.
So you went hence thither and then thence hither again whence you came.
It takes about fifteen years from concept studies to launch for a Hubble-class space telescope. I guess you could make it in ten if you just chose to replicate Hubble's instruments and if NRO had another spare Keyhole stashed somewhere...
Different people understand different things when talking about notes and note-taking.
