It's a baby and the bathwater situation. Some pharma incentives are perverse, and some people involved in the past and present were behind it. It's worth being cautious about taking things at face value, but it's always worth being skeptical.

Assuming everyone in the company has the same character as whichever employees you anchor on and assuming evidence is falsified is also suboptimal.
> You often end up with files and folders "owned" by a user who no longer exists and then we have to get the central IT to go fix it.

That sounds reasonable to be honest. If someone leaves and has not left the files editable by others in a group... what's the other safe option? Someone has to be the arbiter of the permissions and the IT seems like a good choice.
> Do you think those are all morally wrong as well?

They could be, if one considers the negative morality of non-voluntary, force-backed extraction greater than the positive morality gained by its (partial) redistribution.

Another opinion one could have is that the first part being morally negative makes the whole affair morally wrong, regardless of any positive upside.
Hulu raises its subscription prices
Trying to put myself in their shoes, I think what they would have wanted is a zoning law requiring the business there to provide a third space. Landlords would have then be forced to lower the rent until it became profitable to run a bakery-cafe or similar.
Yah, flat() is a kind of poor name. toFlat() would be better IMO.
“Unused RAM is wasted RAM” is only relevant if you’re writing an OS.
Kind of ironic to have communication emphasized so much by someone who can’t concisely and clearly communicate his expectations.
You asked why there was an eighth principle and that is because it was adopted by credit unions [1]. It doesn’t only apply to black people.

So you haven’t actually asked a black person if they are offended by it. It is in fact you who are offended by it. Makes much more sense.

What exactly is DeSantis’s “stance on this”? I know he championed a bunch of laws on what teachers can do/say, and which books are acceptable to read (i.e. regulations). I’m a father to two white boys. The world seems to be treating them just fine. They don’t seem like victims, to me.

Advice for Data Monetization
I strongly prefer Office to Docs except for multi-user edits. Office on the web absolutely sucks and is miserable to use while a team of people is editing away IME.
Vultures coming to take claims to a codec which, I understand, was fairly carefully built to be actually open.

That it is only persecuting hardware inplementations gives me little relief. Low power hardware blocks should be readily available & usable, be a great help to making computers & sound devices better, with low power consumption.

This is, as much as anything, a huge blow against making bluetooth generally good & better; a great potential general use codec, encumbered! Alas! Make sure we cant use anything but locked-in overpriced proprietary codecs. Keep standards from actually developing healthily, fighting a 10+ year old codec from growing. Everyone associated with this patent pool should be blocked from the OIN patent pool immediately & with malice. Alas OIN is too old to have defenses against these here new crust of aggro lawyering stasists.
So glad to hear it! These microbial communities play a critical role in our health, so we should feed them accordingly. We're trying to help educate on the same behavior for the oral microbiome. There's a lot of focus on what not to eat (sugar, etc.), but not on what we can eat to improve our oral health. We wrote an article on it here [1].

How is that any different than any language introducing a new keyword that existing code previously used as variable names? Normally this wouldn't break anything since the developer has to opt in to update the compiler/runtime. The problem is the runtime (browser) autoupdates and the developer has no way to opt out of their code running on the new runtime.
I haven't read the article - only the abstract, but it does report: "No perforations or screening-related deaths occurred within 30 days after colonoscopy." I guess something could have happened later than 30 days but we'd need the full article for that.
It was a while back but I vaguely recall that for a very long time China had still been considered a developing country by the Universal Postal Union, and was thus charged far less for international postage than a developed nation. So shipping for things off of aliexpress or whatever would be practically free.

That was cancelled IIRC a couple of years ago (?) and they now pay closer to "true" shipping rates.

Modern RDP can use hardware h.264 encoding if your GPU supports it, and grabs the output from the framebuffer and streams it like a game streaming app does. I think the default RDP mode still sends the draw commands the old-fashioned way though.

I don't buy this at all. I used to live in Mexico and their native populations are very much alive, well, and fully a part of the national identity. The native populations are much much larger and it's nearly impossible to go anywhere at all without seeing it. As soon as you cross into the US there's no trace to be found unless you go to very specific places. You'd have to believe that disease somehow stopped at the post Mexican American war borders.

Most of the lakebed is dried up now, though. There are even two huge drainage tunnels to prevent the basin from flooding again (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Túnel_Emisor_Oriente). These canals used to take farm products from Xochimilco to the city center.

An interesting fact is that the big freeways and streets, like the periférico, usually follow the exact path of the causeways built for Tenochtitlan.

The former lakebed is also significantly more susceptible to earthquake damage than the land that formed the original banks or islands.
Ha! As if...

We used this to generate dynamic share cards for our core web vitals checker tool (plug: https://calibreapp.com/tools/core-web-vitals-checker).

Previously new uncached requests for Open graph share-card images were generated in Chrome, sometimes taking up to 5 seconds to generate. (They were then stored in cache for 12 hrs).

Because we're now using Satori powered og images, they render almost immediately and we don't have to own the problem of having Chrome deployed within the 50mb lambda limitation. I'm pretty happy about that.

This is probably behind Oracle's move to remove Opus from Virtualbox recordings and revert to Vorbis, as of v.7.

There are a LOT of commercial apps using Opus. Like Skype.

The fact that they are only going after hardware at present will brings Apple into the mix, because iOS devices support Opus.

This should be interesting.
Germany Finally Says the F-Word
I recently did a comparison of shows between Hulu, Netflix, & HBO, checking for the number of offerings that were rated by IMDB 9.0+. Netflix was absolutely dusted by HBO and Hulu. I’d dare to say Hulu warrants increasing its prices, especially if you consider the option to roll in Disney+. HBO is a close second and better option for older movies/shows.

I'm always impressed at how difficult the Workspace Admin Console makes doing literally anything. It's like I'm thrown into a database with an aggressively denormalized schema and expected to figure out how to piece together complete records by hand via queries.

Right. So now they will have two systems that can’t work well together. Brilliant!
This sounds exactly like my issue (and I have even experienced it with the exact site in the bug report, reddit). For some reason I did not even think that the firefox iOS app would have an open source bug tracker but of course it would. Also had no idea it was called the 'awesome bar'.

This is just a sign I should spend more time on HN and less on Reddit.

They aren’t doing it altruistically, they are doing it to help their bottom line.

But Microsoft worshipping at the alter of backwards compatibility has caused them to move at a glacial pace compared to Apple.

Apple not worshipping at the same alter allowed it to remove 32 bit support from the OS and actual processor which meant:

- duplicate versions of shared libraries weren’t taking up RAM or storage which were both at a premium on mobile devices that have operating systems that don’t support swap

- allowed then to have faster, smaller, more energy efficient processors that allowed them to ship phones where their cheapest phones are still two years ahead in terms of performance than competitors most expensive phones

- the same thing above means that MacBooks can have 20 hours of battery life, don’t sound like a 747 when you open 4 Chrome tabs and don’t run hot.

Microsoft completely missed mobile and their ARM laptops are so crappy that it’s faster to run x86 Windows apps running the ARM version of Windows in a VM on a Mac than running on one of the few ARM Windows computers.

All engineering choices have trade offs. Because of backwards compatibility, there are almost a dozen ways to represent a string in C depending on which API you call

Yep often they don't see aesthetics/usability as a feature, and sometimes even have a grudge against it.

For example, Blender pre-v2.8, many many flamewars belittling people who wanted something usable, akin to calling them shallow/superficial Untermensch who "don't understand" Blender's supposedly genius but strange design choices at that time.

I suppose that's why most aren't capable of making a product and are relegated to being an employee or unpaid open source employee.
Yo, looking at these top 5 countries. About 1 in 3 users are in USA right now that's more than I thought. Number of users from China is up by 25%? USA, Uk and India all down about 10% each? Germany also down about 2%. I don't know what the time frame is like for these changes. I guess it shouldn't be such a shock it's US centric given the angry politicking that get thrown around here in spite of the thoughtful guidelines etc.
Sure, and at that point you get into the definition of beverage (is a mouldy bunch of grapes in a forest a beverage, if there's no one to drink it?).

I'd suggest that from a purely evolutionary perspective, honey bees predate grapes, and wild yeasts would certainly have turned an abandoned bee nest into an ad hoc mini-bar on more than one occasion during pre-modern history, but I feel I'm now veering way off from my challenge to that original claim.

In my opinion VR is not a fad but the ‘VR is going to take over the world’ seems like an industry mantra that is more wishful thinking than reality.

That’s entirely dependent on what “pro” you’re talking about. I suspect many professional artists don’t need the stuff that a MacBook has (ie macos) but like having a low latency touchscreen and stylus. Similarly I suspect most professional software developers don’t need a touchscreen (or accompanying stylus).

You can say that you think these should be a single device, but saying that because they’re not invalidates the “pro” claim because neither device can do everything isn’t reasonable.

For example, many pro designers could probably say the MacBook “pro” is not pro as it doesn’t have a low latency touch screen. Or that some behemoth PC is not a professional workstation because it doesn’t have said touchscreen.

Hopefully that alternative view helps demonstrate why you’re “it’s not pro” claim isn’t really valid.

This is of course also ignoring the generically vague definition of what “pro” even means.
