The "status quo" under international law and US policy was that Crimea belongs to Ukraine, so when he enabled Starlink for Ukrainian, he should have enabled it for all Ukrainian territory.

This is not "staying out of it", this is repeating Kremlin propaganda that Crimea belongs to Russia, and that the West should acquiesce to any nuclear blackmail that Putin makes. Now all Putin needs to do is threaten to nuke America if Musk doesn't shut down Starlink across all of Ukraine, and Musk will have to obey, if he's consistent.

Well, they're doing something right when a median home costs $272k compared to the $1.5m one needs to live in the Bay Area growing up here.
That sub has been long gone, unfortunately. The same goes for /r/europe, even though in this latter case I think the hive-mind is at least a little bit more genuine, as in there are real people holding those views, unlike what happens on /r/worldnews.

I really appreciate this comment, I think it is spot on.

The official Win32 API for interacting with Virtual Desktops[1] is severely (deliberately?) lacking. There are some brave souls who are constantly reverse-engineering and figuring out how to interact with Virtual Desktops in all the ways that are missing from the official Win32 API, but this is a constant game of whack-a-mole because you never know when an update to Windows is going to break everything.[2]

If anyone working on the Virtual Desktops feature at Windows reads this: please give us a real, stable API for Virtual Desktops to develop against.

There is immense value in replacing simple NTP deployments, which don't interface with weirdo hardware clocks, with a memory-safe alternative; those simple deployments dwarf the weird ones. It is fine (good, even) for there to be multiple viable implementations of NTP, fit for different purposes.

Or, perhaps, it's an observation that humans created the malicious machine intelligence in their image.
VR could simultaneously be the freshest thing since sliced bread and Meta could do the most masterful job at baking, slicing and packaging it – I would still not use it.

Why not? Simple: I don't trust Meta. And what I mean by that is, that I do actively distrust them in the sense of: if they made it, it must be bad for me and I should not use it. It is a little bit like if Malboro tried to sell you vitamin pills all of the sudden. Maybe they are good genuine vitamin pills, who knows, but I would not be the person to try that out. And even if there was conclusive proof they were good genuine vitamin pills, I would like to give my money to someone else.

Facebook would be a decent product in the hands of people who knew how to wield it and how to earn (and keep) a users trust. Similar any VR they develop could be technologically really a masterpiece, it would howver still be a masterpiece managed by Meta.
Old laptop at your own place + second old laptop at a home lived in by family or friend would probably work great for this.

Hell now I want to try this with two old but decent android phones - they would sip power and have a built in UPS and would blow a RPI out of the water speed wise. Throw a USB-C to Ethernet adapter on each and setup for HA (or if you were really lazy just a simple round robin DNS setup). Put one at a friend house and have them both setup with the free Cloudflare proxy thing and you would not even need to open any ports on your firewall.
This is a "classic" tension. Having worked in the (broader) RPA space for a while, I would say that the true north star of most processes is (a) rewriting the internal procedures to be transformations on data (not UIs) and (b) standardizing communication across companies.

There is a lot of momentum to solve (a) with no code, but it's slow because processes are impossibly complex. I think AI will accelerate this and could result in the "human backup" dystopia. On the other hand, AI can also be used to generate code, and I'm optimistic that technology like this can accelerate humans' ability to encode complex processes robustly (as transformations of data) and would 10 or 100x less work than no/low code.
>We used to argue for equality, a level playing field, for all

Think of how impossibly naive and utopian this is though, and I don't mean to personally attack just to condemn the idea this is possible in any way whatsoever. Is it possible economically? How about resource wise, or geographically can we all possess equal territory? How about military power? How about physical attributes such as height or beauty? How about intelligence?

On which axes of consequences can we equalize things; how do we do it? Zero sum conflicts are everywhere that demands for equalization exist.

There is only competition over limited resources, power and prestige. There is cooperation amongst allies and friends, but only in so far as feelings are mutual and the efforts of both are in each others interest, which goes with out saying includes in you or your family/tribe/groups interests.

Is anyone trying to take money and power out of you or your children's hands a friend or ally, or are they competing with you for their own interests at your expense?

The propaganda you believed was intended to take advantage of your good nature. As long as someone brow-beats you with moralism over the downtrodden they can convince you of doing anything to dis-empower you, if you believe the nonsense that "privilege" or power are bad things, which those scheming you certainly don't as they pursue both.

It is bad to not have privilege or power. It is good to have them. It is this simple.
Yes to this. Best is several of the above. I started in AA. I have stayed in AA for many years. Once you clear up it is quite easy to point out quite a few issues with AA, many people quit going because of them. I feel it is my responsibility to be there for new people to let them know that as long as they do not drink, they do not have to get all hung up on the dogma of the program. There are a whole lot of things working together in AA that help folks stay stopped. For a fun outsider look see what Charlie Munger has to say about why AA works.
I don't think you're making the argument you think you are.
> Why? We'll only replace it if it's actually better. In which case you'll probably love it.

If it's better for businesses mandating what their WFH users use.

And then, even, it's more like "if salespeople convince some managers it's better", which isn't the same thing as is-in-fact-better.
> It’s interesting how you read DEI and immediately think it only applies to black people.

Right, nobody said it did. That's the predominant content in the USA though so it's what's at issue here. Even you talk about it as if it does.

> Have you actually asked a black person what they think about it? If so, what did they say?

"For [Justice Thomas], white benevolence denies black people the pride of achievement. By contrast, if one is black and overcomes the barriers of Jim Crow, one can be assured that the accomplishment is real. Thomas often invokes the example of his grandparents, who, despite segregation, managed to acquire property and support their family. Though they 'had to work twice as hard to get half as far,' they knew, however far they got, that the distance was theirs. When black people succeed in the shadow of white benefactors, that certainty is lost."

> If not, maybe you should.

Indeed.

> You asked why there was an eighth principle and that is because it was adopted by credit unions [1].

Right, but why? The other principles are things that define credit unions.

> What are the DEI policies that you support from the Republican candidate?

Laws that make it illegal to discriminate against people for "racial" reasons. We just want the laws to make it clear that all racism is racism, even anti-racism.
I find an Intel NUC is more than capable of good selfhosting, and is nearly silent and uses very little power.

Building a solution to accelerate your deal velocity

So we are building www.livegenie.co to supercharge intercom or any other live chat software.

Livegenie will help you:

1. Track your website visitors and set up an alert criteria based on their behaviour (so let's say you want to track leads coming from your email compaign and spending more than 2 minutes on your pricing page)

2. Proactively video call your visitors for live demo straight on your website and cobrowse with them for an ultimate user experience.

On the other hand, you can also embed the live video chat widget on your software so you can provide live video support for your free users and convert them to paying customers.

Our MVP will be launched in 2 weeks for FREE so don't hesitate to join our waitlist and be among our beta testers!

Your feedback will be highly appreciated.

Seems to be about VR tech so far. It's mostly about social media stuff thus far, with complaints about slow login times and how the Horizon Worlds doesn't integrate with the rest of the system and has interface issues. John wants more screen sharing for people in VR chat like environments.

John is obsessive about eliminating lag everywhere. Ironic that his facial animations are slightly lagging the audio track.

Online dating already mostly skews towards collage age. Secondly apps like OkCupid with long forms will self select the users who are not willing to disclose that information, don't wanna spend the time, or won't engage seriously with the form.

So you will have mostly a group of 20 year olds, who are willing to answer a lot of questions. It doesn't matter how big the pot is, thats not a random sample of society.
I'm not the prettiest dude in the world, but I'm not really particularly ugly.. I look like a brown Matt Damon IRL.

I had absolutely zero luck with online dating back when I tried it around 2008. I think I just got downranked into oblivion by not gaming the system, since those dating sites use a ranking algorithm internally to gauge how attractive you are. If you click the "like" button on any woman you'd be willing to go on a coffee date with, it assumes you're a loser and hides you away.

Fortunately, you can network your way into a relationship the same way you can get a job.. just put out the word among friends, family, family friends, etc that you're looking for a girlfriend. Chances are you're within a couple of hops of hundreds or thousands of people. This isn't good for finding hookups or for incel jerks, but if you're ready to settle down it's the best method IMO.
I've been using Winsplit Revolution for years, and more recently MaxTo. Is there some reason to use this over one of those?
Indeed, I spotted a couple of typos too: "This book is free/libé", "to provide detaile information".

Also noticed that foreground colors are defined in the HTML version, while the background color isn't, and the blockquote foreground color doesn't meet the AAA level of WCAG contrast guidelines even if white background is assumed. That's rather nitpicky, and generally it's fine, but it feels like materials on UI and UX should better follow common guidelines.
I really wish that education is a bipartisan issue. It's really not about left or right. What I was criticizing is not any specific policy but that the elites, whatever parties they belong to, use morality to block legitimate discussion of tough problems. It just so happens that the left love to put people into racists and fascists group, or so when I am being subject to exposure bias.

> vouchers that would mean poor students are stuck in schools with less funding while rich ones get a cheaper private education.

This is the discussion I wish we have more. That is, someone says that voucher is all about giving freedom and forcing teachers to teach better, but in reality it may work just the opposite. And we should really discuss its pros and cons without attacking each other's motives.

> You just seem to have misunderstood them

Maybe so, as I'm subject to exposure bias. I just can list equal number of examples that show how the left pushed their agenda too. Let's start with Gebru. When LeCun said that bias in model was the result of bias in data, Gebru attacked him for being a bigot. When Gebru was fired from Google, how many media spent even a single paragraph to discuss the quality of her paper, which was the root of the whole debacle, while being busy attacking Google for being racist or misogynist? Or search Allison Collins. When she was criticized for her policy, she said "“Many Asian believe they benefit from the ‘model minority’ BS. In fact many Asian Americans actively promote these myths. They use white supremacist thinking to assimilate and get ahead". When school boards lower their academic standards, they cite racism (again, they maybe right, but it's wrong to attack anyone who questions their conclusion). When students performed worse in maths, multiple school boards claimed that maths are racists or there are racisms in maths curriculum. When people were talking about bringing manufacturing back to the US, a pundit said along the line that it was poor white people wishing to bring back their power. When people asked why some Asians get ahead in the us, multiple Opinions and anchors argued that it's because Asians are closer to white. When people are talking about students' reading and maths proficiency were trending downwards, how many articles immediately claimed that the issue was racism? Of if we go back, how many people would call you a racist if you questioned Warren's claim that she was a native American?

So, yes, I'm not happy with what I saw, but I saw the aforementioned examples and more from WaPo, from NYT, from The Atlantic, from Reuters, from MSNBC, from school boards, and from politicians. So, I don't know what kind of misunderstanding I can avoid.
Am I the only one being put off by the talking avatar thing? It's in the way. I don't think it works.

Sandstorm.io glued this all together in 2014 and it's still available today. https://sandstorm.io
There are two different profilers. There was one in devtools for a long time that was aimed at web content. It was pretty nice for its time, but its time was a long time ago. In a separate project, a profiler for both content and browser UI was developed—that's the one at https://profiler.firefox.xn--comand-5g0c it has been seeing a ton of high quality work for quite a while now. At some point, it was clearly so much better that they started enabling it to optionally focus on web content (though platform stuff is still accessible if you need it). The recent change is the old devtools profiler has been put out to pasture and replaced with the newer one (with presets configured appropriately for web content), and additionally the platform profiler is more integrated so you don't need an add-on or anything; going to https://profiler.firefox.com gives you the option to activate the built-in functionality.

The Firefox Profiler is an amazing piece of work. It's my tool of choice even for non-Firefox scenarios, since it can load in perf profiles (and even Chrome profiles, though I haven't tried that). It has grown into a general profiler front-end, and continues to see significant improvements. I have heard of a number of people adopting it as their system profiler of choice for arbitrary workloads, not just browser-related ones.

(I work at Mozilla, but not on the profiler. At least not most of the time. I've added some small things in to give it more information about my specific subsystem. I have enormous respect for the work going into the profiler, both the functionality and design.)
What about bringing back the "deprecated" documentation that is still quite relevant and only old timers like ourselves can find it, because we have the bookmarks and also know what to search for?
It’s locked so you can’t edit it, but you can still upvote it if you want.
"Results indicated that heterosexual women rated bisexual men as less sexually and romantically attractive, less desirable to date and have sex with, and less masculine compared to straight men. No such differences were found for heterosexual and gay men’s ratings of female and male profiles, respectively. These results support previous research findings that indicate more negative attitudes toward dating bisexual men than bisexual women."
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15299716.2018.15...

"63% of women, however, say they wouldn't date a man who has had sex with another man"
https://www.glamour.com/story/glamour-sexuality-survey

If you do some casual searches you can find qualitative and quantitative data supporting the idea that unfortunately for bisexual men, male-attracted women are not into them and you're incentivized to hide or downplay it if you want to appeal to the broadest group (though I'd argue you may as well focus on those that can accept male bisexuality if you're successful enough at dating).

Some higher-end printers have HTTPS or LPD (or even FTP) printing built into them.

> Well, they're doing something right when a median home costs $272k compared to the $1.5m one needs to live in the Bay Area growing up here.

You can get a house for $75k (median) if you want in Gary Indiana. I'm not sure how lower housing prices can be directly correlated with "doing things more right".
But it is true. Chinese and Indian people have nothing else in common but their parenting styles are the same. Historical accident maybe, but it's true
It's barely under median for the US, that is the real comparison. There are many places across the US with significantly less expensive homes.

Pepperidge Farms might want to have their memory checked if they’re comparing this to Second Life. A company just pivoted their entire multi-hundred billion dollar business to do this and improve on this.

Sure, you can joke around that early stages look like Second Life, but it’s a really lazy way to look at it with absolutely no consideration for what the future holds.
Yea this works great!
That interview is great but I don't think there's any overlap. This is focused on VR, something that was only touched on in the Lex interview.
The people who decide which attributes are relevant are the higher ups in the company. These people are making their decisions based off traits that they believe unfairly disadvantage people. The reason for that belief is the political advocacy of people who have those traits.

Ideally, I would hope that everyone who has such a trait also has a group to advocate for them, and thus the hiring managers would be making perfect decisions. I do not think this is at all the case though. Regardless, I think it is better to correct for the traits that do have advocacy behind them rather than just not doing any correction at all.
