oh look, someone did a bit of googling and realized what I said was true.

Then they try to imply that it's weird to expect people to understand the Russia link to Trump without some official title.

inb4 they claim I just changed the word "Hoax" to "Narrative" to hide that I'm a Trump Supporter! (I'm not), therefore I'm racist, sexist, and all other kinds of ist's and I'm going to hell! As a minority!

It's been discredited, and it was done under the Biden Administration.

So we know Trump dealt with this most of his presidency (arguably all of it) and we know it's turned out to be manufactured, yet somehow it absolutely cannot be true that he feels as if people are coming after him unfairly?

This is everything that's wrong with current US politics.
Corporate answering like you're some kind of clueless idiot is the worst.

I'm a tenant. My real estate agency uses a website through which you can, among other things, send them files. Including sensitive files, such as passport scans etc (often required in my country when you want to sign a lease).

The files are put inside a cache.

The cache is not secured and not even protected against directory listing in their web server. I can list the entire cache and see hundreds and hundreds of files there, including passport scans, salary certificates, etc. Wrote to them to tell them the issue existed and I wanted to talk to a person in charge of the website to disclose the details to them (I didn't want the details, including the URL, going back and forth in emails, knowing that they probably don't secure their emails correctly either).

The next day some lady calls me on my phone. She wouldn't understand the problem. "No Sir, in your personal account, you can only see YOUR documents, Sir." She was basically telling me what the correct behaviour would have been, completely unable to even process the idea that their website might be leaking highly sensitive documents in the wild.

Thanks so much for visiting and the feedback. Yep, I was crawling on hands and knees through the horizontal passageways--especially getting to the Subterranean Chamber was tight. After crawling down the horizontal passage, I was accidentally locked in the Queens Chamber for about an half an hour before the guards came and let me out.

Maybe we should have a content warning on the tour somewhere and for those in the future that have tunnel systems / confined spaces.. I'm sorry for everyone that felt claustrophobic during this tour!
> Yes, you need to obtain “permission” before you build any manufacturing structure on your own land with your own money. This permission is called the NA or Non-Agricultural Certificate.

Well, I though it was this way everywhere in the world. In Europe, at least, you cannot build anything on agricultural land unless it is a n agricultural structure or you get the classification changed, which is not easy.
If quality matter for you, smartphone is not answer. It won't replace camera designed for taking photographs with much higher dynamic range.

Sure, heavy DSLR's are annoying to care on trip but again... If you are casual snapshot taker, then smartphone is enough.

Or there are compact professional cameras like Fujifilm x100 series.

It's great for embarrassingly parallel data processing, but not good for concurrent/async task.
I once used a randomly generated word as the answer. But the darn thing required five security questions and answers, so of course I just reused the same answer (random, unrelated to the question) across all five.

On fine day, I had to call in to the support for something or another. He's like "I need to ask for the answer to the security questions", I'm thinking "no problemo" and I kid you not, the agent asked all five questions. By the last I'm thinking "surely you can't think I'm going to miss this one?"

Edit: it also reminds me of Rackspace! If you initiated a customer support request — for which the button was in the console, after logging in, the agent would ask the security question. The answer to which … was in the same console!

India's obsession with paperwork is unceasing and baffling. Everything requires an application, even when everything can be done digitally. You need letters and stamps to get anything done.

Case in point: the "company stamps" that are required for everything you do with your business. From getting a debit card to changing the maturity instructions for a corporate deposit, you need to sign your name AND stamp it with your company stamp.

The company stamp can be made by anyone for $1-2. It has no bearing on security at all. Yet, you need to carry it with you if you want to get anything done.

It's utterly baffling. I can access my corporate bank account online and make any number of transactions, yet if I want to apply for a debit card, I need my company stamp and signatures from all directors.

Why? I have no idea!

Android is the exact opposite of what I want in my camera. Sometimes when I'm out I need to swap batteries -- now I get to wait five minutes for my camera to boot? I know Android can boot faster, but do we really want octo-core cameras with 8GB of RAM?

A friend of mine has a pet complaint about the camera industry: in the 1980s if you bought a 110-film camera you could pull it out of your pocket aim at a subject, and take a picture, and the slowest part of that from 'cold boot' is pulling it out of your pocket. No digital camera can replicate that (unless you walk around with an 'on' camera in your pocket at all times). Your suggestion immediately made me think of him, and how not only have we lost something we had in the past, we're marching firmly away from it.
"can't handle" here means "can't handle performantly".

Yep, fossil fuel based fertilizers and other chemicals aren't going away.

How about computer games and instagram and google searches and air travel and cars including EVs, electricity, more than 50 square feet of housing per person, etc etc.? We're back to judgements excusing our own preferences and consumption and denouncing others.

> Nice slight of hand. Markets optimise for the goals of the people with capital. Efficiency is only meaningful once an objective is selected, and wellbeing of the majority is a different objective to increase in wealth of the already wealthy.

It's not a slight of hand, you brought it up. I don't think markets are perfect or even all that great, but they sure are better than you (or I).

Your wild conspiratorial fringe theories and claims are just false. For example The US Animal Welfare Act (AWA) was signed into law on August 24, 1966. Name any country and you'll be able to find laws and regulations for basic environmental and animal welfare standards.

> So we're back to you having no accountability for your personal actions and no change to the system that enables and subsidizes them being permissable. This is just a reframing of you getting to do whatever you want if you are powerful enough to do it.

No, we're at everybody else not being accountable to you.

Yes it always seemed so.

> Because I'm not lying and gasghting and demanding you subsidize my lifestyle while I and the systems I support destroy the lives of everyone around you.

Yes, it is exactly because you claim that you are not doing that and that I am.
totp is good in theory but not ideal for sending via email. Users might miss the email, or it gets delayed, then they want to resend the email and end up with two codes or more. Which one to use then? and you might want bruteforce protection so you introduce a rate limit, which can lock users out in those scenarios.
Imagine if the immediate outcome of AI is not that we replace taxi drivers, dishwashers, and factory workers, but instead we displace most knowledge-worker white collar jobs, like quant and software engineer?

There's an old (and sometimes forgotten) idea in AI that perhaps things we think are simple, like vision and control (robotics), are actually incredibly complicated and took millions of years to evolve.

Whereas things we think are complicated, like playing Go or picking stocks or computer programming, are actually quite simple to learn.

This would be counter-intuitive but---as you observed, and taking my argument recursively---common sense might be much more difficult to get right than obscene pathological thinking.

Anyway, I've always thought a good startup would be to automate away Silicon Valley using AI. It's so punk rock that a lot of disillusioned smart techies would join under this banner. A collaborator of mine has already used AI to do high-level bug finding in blockchain code.
For nuclear era, it was easier to pay cost for storage because same operator built both nuclear plant and pumped storage. Even if operator isn't same, there are only few nuclear operator in the grid so easier to talk. For PV (or say electricity deregulation) era, it will be a bit difficult since PVs are deployed by small operators or individuals. Great market mechanism or govt regulation is needed.

Everything is right in theory. This article is about how difficult it is for a small entrepreneur, you essentially need big pockets and right connections to start something even very small.

All this does is creates a set of entrenched local businesses which run hand-in-hand very transparently with local political interests. This is the whole reason Western folks never understand why China succeeded so fast, it is because they made the trade-offs necessary for growth. For rapid growth you cannot make everyone happy right away.

The good thing about India is that e-Governance initiatives have at least provided some transparency and understanding for the average person which did not exist before.
Well I am not 100% convinced but the mid-19C move to better steam boiler design is instructive - boiler explosions were so common that there was a economic effect as well as human cost. In the US only one insurance company would take the risk - and they only would insure when their standards were met. The industry as a whole improved
I'm not. Elon initiated the buyout. Yes, Parag went to court with Musk, but that's not a brilliant move, that is common sense. Anyone in his situation would have done that. The court sided with Twitter not because of anything Parag did. It was simply because legally, Musk was obligated. Without Elon's initiation, nothing like this could ever have happened. Had nothing to do with Parag. He was just there.

And before this, I'm not so impressed with what he's done with Twitter in his tenure.
its so common that it actually has a term for it, copoganda. But on-the-point you are making why does it has to be this silly all or nothing choice with policing the police? why cant we have more oversight and actual negative outcomes for ill behaved cops without giving them full free reign to do whatever? or report on police narrative without any degree of pushback.

It is but it's a different problem. Solving Fermat's last theorem is an infinitely harder problem than, say, speedrunning Minecraft in under 13 minutes but you won't see Sir Andrew Wiles doing the latter - because they are different skillsets.

Instagram was already valued at $500 million from a recent major funding round by the top VC firms in silicon valley. They were also one of the top apps in the app store and were leagues ahead of Facebook when it came to photos. So again, it was a good investment, but not contrarian by any means.
It would be brilliant move from manufacturers to bring to life again older cameras by unlocking code. We know that cameras from 2012 are able to take RAW video (3DmII with Magic Lantern). But because of marketing, software limits abilities of hardware that we have at home collecting dust.
By all accounts, hear say of course as I never touched a mirrorless Nikon so far, the later gen Z cameras are great in taking videos. If anything Nikon was tad late to the mirrorless party.
Countries with high paperwork and bureaucratic burden are famous for also being highly corrupt. This is probably not a coincidence. Likely all the excess paperwork makes it easier to hide what's really going on, easy to provide roadblocks for those who don't pay, and easier to generally hide bad activity in a sea of noise.
At the very least, even if everyone agrees after a month or so that the idea is horrible, we will have so many new timezones forever in the tz database! :D
If it's anything like what happens here in NZ, it's highly likely they're just looking for low/unpaid customer support people. I'm sure there's no shortage of suckers willing to do it.
You can do useful things with Code Browser, it has folding and links. Aka, it is the simplest possible form of a hypertext. As it is just text, things can easily be scripted.

I have kept an older, personally preferred version of that Editor on my GitHub Repo, unfortunately it does not perform stable on Linux and I have not been able to compile it on that system, in order to fix the bugs.

https://github.com/nilslindemann/Code_Browser_49/blob/master...

Here is a video showing how it works (my older version + scripts):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sU4ThIJ6eKc

I also use this editor for code, it gives me the expressiveness I need, but its comments make the code look terrible in other editors.

I wish these features were available in other text editors. For someone used to Code Browsers folding capabilities, other editors are just awkward. But I guess other Coders will think the same when they see that they don't even get completion in Code Browser. Also, it is quite a niche editor.
You are correct that (at least as far as I know) there is indeed no explicit legal provision saying Tesla can’t just give SpaceX/Twitter/etc endless free services. However, Tesla is a Delaware corporation, and under Delaware corporate law (same as in most other jurisdictions), directors and officers have to take special care in conflict of interest situations, to avoid contravening their fiduciary duties (especially the duty of loyalty). The easiest way to make sure that duty is being appropriately discharged, is to ensure that those services are provided on commercial terms, which would normally involving paying for them. So while there may not be an explicit legal rule saying they have to do it this way, in practice their lawyers will be telling them this is their recommendation to minimise legal risk, and I have no doubt that they’ll listen to their lawyers and do what they say.

As well as the corporate law issues, the accounting and taxation implications of non-commercial transactions with other firms with which you have significant common ownership can be quite messy in many jurisdictions, which is another compelling argument for keeping those transactions on a commercial fee-for-service basis.
A LOT of information is lost, or abstracted away, if revenue is the only thing you look at. There are probably tens to hundreds of latent parameters, where the net sum can come out as a positive (which translates to purchase / not purchase outcome).

I enjoy a lot of things with Apple products, and I get them free via my job - but I absolutely hate their (walled garden) app ecosystem. But still - since Apple is the only thing I can get at work, we / I become one more positive statistic.
Elon handed this to him, he initiated it in the first place after all. And the court sided with Twitter to follow through because Musk obligated himself.

Even this huge premium you guys are so impressed with was set by Musk. Parag had nothing to do with the price.

And before this, what commendable things did Parag do at Twitter? This was just a lucky break for him.

Not impressive at all. At best an unforced error on Musk's part.
The idea itself is sound and reasonable. If you let people built wherever you'll find yourself out of arable land in an instant.

What seems overly complex and inefficient is the amount of permissions and the subpermissions.

I'm not an expert on the topic either, but from similar discussions I've followed, the answer tends to be that out of the box and with the base settings, an engine like UE5 will be optimised for certain use cases. Different genres will have different specific needs, and may require your developers to do a lot of heavy lifting to make the engine performant under their specific conditions. A good example might be sim racing titles, which generally have the player moving a lot faster than the default scenario for an engine (which is mostly a slow-moving FPS, for example). At these relatively high speeds, the default antialiasing methods may result in serious graphical artifacts, and at the rate at which physics needs to be calculated (90-300 hertz) the default physics of the engine may be less useful, and you're forced to implement your own from scratch. That's not to say it's impossible, but you're opting out from a lot of the engine features, or in some cases, it's actively making your life hard.

I think the term "for rent" might mean different things to different people. I read that as "apartments listed as being available to rent to the public (e.g. on apartments.com) with no signed contract for anyone to move in". Which I would think would be one of the primary reasons for vacancy.

Meanwhile, your source seems to say some houses shouldn't be counted vacant because they are 2nd, 3rd or 4th houses, or are listed on AirBnB as short term rentals, all of which I would classify as vacant. I know 1/6 vacant homes are a second home in SF (according to the YouTube video).

But I would agree with you that apartments that will be empty for < 1 month as turnover happen makes no sense to classify as vacant, assuming that the new renter is identified.
Reminder to self: don’t read the comments
Is it weird to say that these issues are too stupid for software engineer licensing to be a good answer? It's like buying a fleet of cherrypickers to pick lettuce.

And if we can't hold people accountable for their actual products being laughably insecure, I don't see how licensing enforcement is going to go better. For starters, the question of who should be required to hire licensed engineers is the same as who should be regulated/sued into compliance/oblivion regardless of licensing, and we clearly can't do that.
