It's Fox News. I don't think they have any ethical care whatsoever.
I don't believe that you can determine which headlights are illegal by looking at oncoming traffic. I don't believe that dealers or or drivers are modifying them in illegal configurations at more than a minimal rate. This would be quite the conspiracy.
> I don't think security clearance is a good analogy as they are administered by the government itself. You may be sponsored by a private company, but I believe that work has to trace back to a government contract.

To be clear, "sponsored by a private company" involves that private company paying either the government or some other private company money for you to get your clearance (not too sure how the money exactly moves about).

Sure you need to be working a job that actually requires a clearance to have one (but effectively there is a grace period if you get fired/quit). But if Company A and Company B both have a job that requires Tier 5 then you can move from A->B no problem. IIUC, the Jet example is even worse (for job mobility) because it's a rating for a plane so you'd need to go from a pilot at A to a pilot of that plane at B while for the DoD you could go from a programmer to a manager or janitor and it's all Tier 5.
At most airlines there are two sets of scheduling rules. The regulatory rules, and the union contract negotiated rules. You can guess which one the company doesn’t want audited.
Until the fakes are so good that it will be impossible to keep them out of the training set which means the ability to distinguish them disappears.
> I view lotteries as taxes on those that don't understand probability and money investing.

I did too until I realized what the purchasers of losing lottery tickets receive in exchange for their money: hope.

They're purchasing the high of hoping for a better future; an escape into the dreams of riches.
The $26 billion is revenue. Not lotto sales.

It's a very inefficient and uneven redistribution of wealth.
As has been shown again and again, what they plan on "now" is irrelevant. What matters is what they (or their successors) can do with it later.
Stores should be perfectly free not to accept cash. While our money says "This note is legal tender for all debts public and private", that assumes there has been a meeting of the minds who agree to conclude a transaction. But up until that point I don't see an obligation. And I don't see using the force of government to compel people to do something increases their freedom.
Funny, I took this comment in pretty much the opposite way. As in people on high incomes are probably kidding themselves about what good money managers they are - the stakes are pretty low when you get another 5 or six figures dunked into your account regularly.

Single parents raising a few kids on minimum wage? That requires some real financial planning
Another such example that rational self-interest is an invalid assumption:

> Mr Greenspan admitted that his view of the world had been flawed.

> Self-regulation by Wall Street had failed, he said. "Those of us who have looked to the self-interest of lending institutions to protect shareholder's equity – myself especially – are in a state of shocked disbelief."

> And he went on: "I found a flaw in the model that I perceived is the critical functioning structure that defines how the world works."

No, this is not what you should take away from my comment
So we seem to agree -- there is a choice.
This gets at one of the things I've never quite understood about Bitcoin. Over time the effort to mine a coin goes up - there's a ultimately a set limit on the number of coins that will be produced. Mining coins is where the effort for all operations comes from.

What if the impetus for mining - an increasing worth for a rarer coin - doesn't scale? Couldn't you have a situation where fewer miners reduces the speed of operations so there's less demand which is a feedback on itself.
It absolutely is tiring!
Still there is nothing virtuous or noble about suffering itself.
This is a great comment. We can all sit here in our Herman Miller office chairs snickering about how the lottery is a "tax on stupid people" or whatever, but few of us have really lived that awful paycheck-to-paycheck life where you never have enough to make ends meet. I've been temporarily down on my luck financially, but never experienced the chronic, abject hopelessness that's a daily part of life for an astounding number of people. I don't have any idea how one could make good financial decisions in that mental state! We read stuff like "The lowest-income households in the U.S. on average spend $412 a year on lotto tickets" and scream at our dual HiDPI monitors "At least put that money into a diversified equities ETF!!" Our privilege makes us clueless.
"One flight attendant said of the current situation affecting Sequence Decoder that they had “never seen a company go out of their way to make life harder for their workers.”"

Every large company I've worked for had an IT department (or similar) that intentionally made developers'/sysadmins' lives harder. They don't care. So the good people leave, morale drops, productivity drops, management starts implementing crap policies to force more work to get done.

The reason to not iterate on the Shuttle is that it was a fundamentally dangerous design, fixing the issues would be comparable to just making a new ground-up design. It would also be really expensive because the companies that made it have gotten used to the government teat. Modern American spacecraft are the 'new' Shuttle in that they incorporate all the safety lessons learned. The closest functionality-wise Shuttle successor would be crewed Starship.

Hubble shares a chassis with old spy satellites but IIRC all the optics have been replaced. There is a study ongoing for the potential of docking a Dragon capsule to it to boost its orbit and possibly service it via EVA.
Reminds me of: People said you can’t write a financial trading system in a garbage collected language. Turns out you can as long as you don’t garbage collect during the trading day by carefully managing allocations and manually running GC each day before trading starts.

Or the old story of the junior engineer who finds a memory leak in a missile’s guidance system and the senior engineer says the memory leak is fine as long as you don’t run out of memory before the missile completes its mission.
This article is from 2011, but today on Spotify Eminem still has more monthly listeners than Kanye West (53M vs 51M). Eminem also has several songs that have over a billion streams (one with >1.5b), while Kanye has just one and it's at exactly 1b.

So yes, Eminem is still well ahead.

The two are indeed very similar but I don't agree with the idea that there should be no "finger pointing". Of course there should be finger pointing and problems should be identified, no issue is solved without being diagnosed first. Otherwise, avoiding to name and appropriately describe is very usually a way to sweep it under the carpet.
Being wrong is not lying. To be a lie the person has to know it isn't true. Whether those statements are untrue or not, I think that most people that say those things believe them to be true and so they are not lies.
If he'd said it about whites, nobody would care. It looks like Black Twitter is noticing, too.
Running any kind of legal sweepstakes in the US is such a massive pain in the ass that I genuinely don’t understand why anyone bothers.
If we’re talking about apps in the airline industry, take a look at Stafftraveler (https://stafftraveler.com/)

Everyone in the industry uses this app. What is it for? Leaking passenger load data from internal systems to employees of other airlines.

Presumably all the data gets sold by the platform operators to some hedge funds for big bucks.
Well, I am sure that a drug cartel that can produce submarines[1] or drones[2] could manage an RC shotgun bot, but I am skeptical that you'd see them being used widely, compared to just handing a gun to someone?

My father, who my entire family suspects is autistic, used to communicate with me at mealtimes using whistled more code. I learned a bit but have forgotten it all now, just as I have forgotten the Spanish that my mother taught me.
It might not contribute at all. My evidence being the countless people who are bipolar but don't make antisemitic remarks and the countless people who aren't bipolar and do.
Listen to his interviews yourself. Any medium, including podcasts, are packaging a narrative for you to hear. For better or worse. Personally and I’m black I listened to his latest interview and his points are pretty strong, it becomes obvious how he is being painted in a false light after hearing the interviews for yourself then hearing other people use clips to say he’s mentally ill and crazy.
I guess it depends how you classify crashes when the automated car goes "Meh, I've got no idea, you take over" and then crashes 2 seconds later.

But America isn't too concerned with road deaths (equivelant of one 9/11 per month, or 240 9/11s in the period of time the US occupied Afghanistan in response.

Financially the response to 9/11 cost about $950b - $300m per death. By that reckoning the US government should be spending about $12.8 Trillion dollars a year on reducing road deaths, about half of the US GDP.
There's a conversation of some depth to be had here. I think it might simply devolve into "rhetoric is part of a struggle for power", but I am not ready to be that cynical yet.

"Capitalism is the problem". Let's take this as untrue (ironic laughter from the peanut gallery).

Could "capitalism is the problem" be an opinion coming from one person and a blatant lie coming from another?

Is it fundamentally different from "ethnicity X is the problem"?

We have charity lottery things in the US too but those aren't the tickets you buy if you're trying to win.

We generally pretend that state lotteries fund schools but then take away normal funding in similar amounts...
Everything you describe seems to be increasing the role that luck plays, by giving 52 more chances per year to be lucky enough to win a helpful amount [but not trust fund/generational real estate level] of money.
Are you positive about Michigan? My most recent interaction with a cashless store was during a trip to Detroit, where a convenience store attached to a very large bank building made a very public point about not accepting cash. To include a large banner at the entrance of the store remarking about them being proudly cash free.
But buying 10 tickets means your odds are 10x higher! /s

10 times a number approximating zero is still a number approximating zero.

The thinking that changed me is that my odds of winning are approximately the same whether I buy a ticket or not.
I’ve built a pretty successful software monitoring business off of this basic premise.
> That suggests that they are motivated by something other than the entertainment of fantasy.

My father purchases multiple tickets, but he has no system and is clearly doing it for the high of hope.
That's what I'm thinking too. There's no way to keep the state in Rust which means constantly updating a browser persistent storage through JS or keeping state client side in the tab's environment. A pretty janky workaround

..... do you honestly think that if you give police remote control vehicles with shotguns attached to them that they WONT use them for violence and killing? These are police we are talking about here, they come from a culture of violence and extreme fear.
It's got to be both.

Nobody in their sane mind would say some of the stuff that Kanye said/tweeted, but as well there's very few people who have the ability to profit off making insane statements to the extent that people like Kanye or Trump can. It's almost like a perpetual vicious cycle of profitable victimhood.

I was never a big fan of the guy's work but he was an incredible producer back in the late 90s early 2000s. I think him experiencing the death of his mother was the start of a very serious downward cycle (mentally, at least) that he's yet to recover from.
It is quite tragic to see him become the Bobby Fischer of music.

Let's hope he finds and accepts help.

He is open about having been diagnosed, not about having a "public breakdown", being "increasingly unhinged" or "quite evidently sick". Those are your inventions. Though they might well be true I think one should be careful diagnosing people at a distance (and without being a mental health professional) especially when it is used as a justification for taking away someone's agency (which I acknowledge you haven't done, but others in this thread/saga are doing).
Failing to pay a debt is illegal. Quitting a job is a fundamental requirement of freely competitive labor markets that the social benefits of capitalism are predicated on.

Part of the problem is that the medium changed. We used to get one episode a week with frequent commercial breaks. Watching episodes of Seinfeld now, back to back, I agree with you.
GKE/EKS/AKS lower the bar by a huge lot. There is a ton of value in having just one platform, toolchain, deployment language, set of templates/blueprints, set of dashboards, set of alerts, target for hardening/securing, etc. pp. One of the big upsides of this for me is that it becomes a lot more tractable to get ordinary devs and others involved since you only have to polish things and train people once.

I've found it's quite neat for e.g. data scientists to be able to toss a quick yaml into git and have their thing running to their specifications in non-prod. Things like flux and Kyverno make sure they are boxed in tightly enough that they can't cause a lot of damage, and if that thing works out, someone adds CI in front of the yaml and some templating to the yaml itself and off we go to prod, and the result is still quite comprehensible, so people are enabled at least to ask the good questions to the right people. That's what I see as one of the killer applications of Kubernetes, to build a lingua franca interface for all things ops that doesn't change (much) for different service levels and even totally different needs, like frontend devs and data scientists.

It's probably not a great choice for a three-person startup trying to gain traction by moving fast, but IMO the threshold where k8s starts making sense is a lot lower than many here appear to think.
foone's pronouns are they/them
It is a big fiddly science instrument that requires constant maintenance, the benefit of cleanup is to get rid of that obligation. If we want to turn it into a museum or something, that might be worth considering. But that will require getting it into a safe state which is presumably lots of the cleanup cost.
Nor did I say bipolar caused either of those things.

Yes. “Everyone I disagree with is crazy” is a real thing and disgusting. Reading a psychology book and a couple pop news articles doesn’t make these people psychiatrists or psychologists.
No, it was just the plastic shell of the pregnancy test that was "original"; IGN says:
"it's important to note that Foone did replace the display and microcontroller, so the only part of the original tester is the shell. However, getting Doom running and playable on a 128x32 pixel monochrome display at 1bpp is still an impressive feat."
Thanks for this. I was more interested with the differences in implementation rather than which one is better.
Yes.

The most expensive serious storage solution is LiIon, and even that's merely the same cost (or at least, the bell curves of their prices mostly overlap) as an equivalent nuclear reactor.

(I'm deliberately ignoring any claims about future battery costs; while I'm expecting them to come down, they don't need to in order to make this argument).
Oh, I'm sort of aware of that reputation (of Fox News), but I just read 'Carlson', not a name I know.
I think better phrasing for this would be "develop 12-factor apps". At scale, Kubernetes is great.

When things are still small and simple, an Ansible Playbook and a Docker container can take a company pretty far while still being able to move to k8s pretty easily.
It sounds like its pretty close to what the company in the article was doing.

Mining is solving some kind of puzzle. If not a lot of blocks get mined, the difficulty the puzzle is reduced. This way the system automatically balances so mining a block costs about as much as you gain when you solve the puzzle first.

A fairly recent form of social movement where, unlike previous historical social forces, the overarching principle is not religious ("the Church said") or ideological ("Communist Manifesto"), but solely based on the subjective feeling of "being offended".

Example: "I am offended, this is non-negotiable, therefore the society must change its dictionary and add 35 pronouns."
I agree - I think the hardest hump for developers is to learn Kubernetes first. After that, it's really not bad for most workloads.
Not even close. In fact there's a whole universe of enterprise focused consulting that pays a lot of money for experienced developers. Think SAP, Oracle, Cisco, Salesforce, etc. consultants that lead 9 figure projects.
What about when it comes to paying taxes on those earnings?
I was actually talking about CRT and the history of slavery in the United States. That's the inconvenient truth legislatures in some states are attempting to arrest people for teaching. Plenty of people are trying to keep election conspiracy theories off social media but as far as I know nobody is trying to pass a law against spreading them.

You're mischaracterization of the debate leads me to believe you made this comment in bad faith.

And there it is. Advocate for free speech in front of a left-leaning audience and you're a conspiracy-spewing Republican. Advocate for free speech in front of a right-leaning audience and you're a child-grooming communist. Like I said, tiresome.
Its marginally better, but reddit threads or glass door are no subsititute for an actual union negotiating on your behalf. Employers can just fire you or let you leave if you get cocky like this. A union otoh can threaten to strike and effectively shut down an entire company.
I'm not discounting their data, I just think Tesla has so much more. If you were looking at just those opted into the FSD Beta you have a larger fleet actively running the model with feedback loops capturing every failure. But cars without FSD are still running the model and capturing data as well.

Alarm systems use the "End of Line" resistor concept. The alarm triggers when a sensor is opened and current flow stops. Closed is ambiguous because it could mean power is flowing through all closed sensors OR there is a short (alarm panels handle shorts). A resistor allows the panel to consider 0 Ohms a short and some specific number of Ohms as closed and working. It apparently also provides a way to detect tampering of the wires.

That's still not a debt. If the cashier rings it up, and you try to pay with credit card and your card is declined, you can leave without buying anything. Whereas with a debt, you couldn't just change your mind like that.
> power of attorney

My grandma is beginning to look like she has dementia. But we, as a family, aren't at a point where we're thinking of taking away her agency. She's a proud woman and always has been.

In many cases, its probably better for the person for them to keep their agency. If they're only going to lose money, its really not that big of a deal. We're more concerned about what if she has a fall by herself or other such issue. But those things won't be solved by revoking her agency.

But just because someone is mentally ill (dementia, bipolar, or even schizophrenic) doesn't mean they deserve to lose their agency and get power of attorney invoked over them.

Has anyone close to you been in a mentally ill situation? Have you ever tried to tell someone you love, someone you trusted, someone you used to look up to that their mental capabilities have declined and that you no longer trust them to watch over themselves? And if so, do you think taking away their ability to use their bank account is the solution to that problem?
