Free Twitter must look like real threat to corrupted thieves like Von Der Leyen and her Pfizer sponsors with their "fact checkers" promoting fake news and banning scientific facts.
To make up for that, they should buy at $100 a share then announce that they’re going to reign in some of that money they're burning through.

I don't know what you mean by thriving, which is why I asked.

And you still aren't addressing my question, which is what are rights, and where do they come from.
It's the same idea isn't it? Just get people addicted to lock them into your platform and drain value from them.
Yes - I don't understand why this hasn't been the focus. It would certainly beat airtravel for certain city pairs in the US. Anything in a 800 mile zone I would do a self driving car on interstate vs a plane.

Seems a much simpler problem to solve than full self driving everywhere!
Fluke and the sister measurement companies (like Tek) were spun out of Danaher in 2016 and are now called Fortive. More corporate shenanigans.
There’s always something you should be doing in EU4/CK2, but it takes some thought to figure out what that is.
I am a US Citizen (Indian Origin) who has a US company and a subsidiary in India as well. It is certainly very difficult and cumbersome to set up entity in India but it is possible as long as you have a few things sorted out:

- Have a local point of contact. If you are not Indian yourself or at least of Indian Origin, you will need to have a good local contact ideally your lead tech. who can be part of the entity

- Find a good Chartered Accountant/CA (equivalent to CPA in US) who can help you set it up. DO NOT DO IT by yourself

- For a US based company, I had to do something called "Appostille" which is equivalent of a Notary but for Foreign stuff.

I can recommend the company we used that we still use. We pay them about 20,000 INR per month (about $250/Month) for a team of roughly 15 developers and they do all the setup, taxes, payroll, filings etc etc. PM me if anyone is interested.

"Just less food overall" never works.
There are 2 diets that work for weight loss:
1) High-fat, low carb.
2) High-carb, low fat.

Stick to one of those and keep the fat-to-carb ration in a 1:6 or 6:1 ratio based on what you pick (this ration comes from the eg Japanese eating 6x carbs for each 1g fat).

This is why opposing diets like carnivore or the potato diet both work, despite them being on the opposite extremes of the high fat vs high carb spectrum.

But god help you if you mix fats and carbs in the same amount...

The randle cycle is the likely explanation.

Not an invention, but one of my favourite failures is Shackleton’s antarctic expedition[1], which among the many trials includes what must be one of the greatest navigational feats in history: 1300km in an open boat across the Antarctic Ocean after a year being stuck in the ice.

Isn't this what rolling updates in container-based deployment systems (e.g., Kubernetes) do? And also the reason we have CI/CD pipelines and micro-services (to decouple processing from data).

So basically, in your example, change the code that handles GET and then trigger the CI/CD. Your code will be compiled, containerised then a rolling update is started to replace the old version of the running web server with the new one.
I have a first-generation Sigma 50mm f1.4 with Nikon F mount, and I'm still in love with its bokeh after many years. It's probably not the sharpest compared to the other 50mm heavyweights, but that's not an absolute need for portraits anyway.

Sigma makes great lenses compared to some of the other 3rd party manufacturers like Tamron and Tokina.

First you have to ask yourself why would such a rule exist? Sometimes it is done in the interest of national security. Or you run into issues such as a desert kingdom purchasing rights to use massive quantities of farmland where water is already scarce. See Saudi Alfalfa in California. Or why Bill Gates is the biggest private farm land owner in the United States at around 242,000 acres and climbing. You need to look past the knee jerk assumption that the government is schizophrenic. There may be greater forces at play this intends to put the brakes on without overtly prohibiting those activities.
What is the point for a consumer to use a Raspberry PI 4 today?

I recently purchased a mini PC with an Intel N5105, 16GB of Ram, 512GB NVME SSD, two gigabit ethernet ports, two HDMI ports, many USB ports, and Wifi 6. This system was $180, all in. You can't find a Pi 4, much less one with equivalent specs for anywhere near this price. If you can find it, an 8GB PI4 is $75 and then you need to buy the case, power supply, sometimes storage, etc.

The N5105 system when under full load is only drawing 7 watts, I've seen it as low as 4 watts when idle. The Pi 4 uses a BCM2711, which according to Passmark, is about 4X slower than an Intel N5105.

I do think the PI is great from the hobbyist and industrial perspective, but to just use it as an inexpensive PC seems like a waste.
It's Time to Do More with Less
> We are told, however, that carbs are part of the balanced diet. While that is true the right kind of carbs are important. So people think they are being healthy while loading themselves up with poor quality carbs that are in fact quite unhealthy.

I have never heard anyone, even informally, claiming that sugars are a useful form of carbs in the diet. Any source that claims that carbs should be part of a balanced diet is talking about long-chain carbs like starch, not sugar.

I highly doubt many people are seeing carbs listed as an important part of a diet and then deliberately eating more sugar thinking that they are being healthy.
The only buy-in is the body and an adapter. AFAIK, all of the systems work fine with their SLR predecessor's glass. Pros already change bodies periodically to get the latest features (nowhere near annually, but probably one body every 2.5-5 years, and they'll have 2-3 bodies used in paid gigs).

And the bodies are relatively cheap at ~$2000 (half that for a previous generation or enthusiast grade body). Lenses tend to start around $1000, go up to $10k, and a pro will have 10 or more of them.
Doesn't seem to do.
Visited last weekend. Interesting for sure. Funny to see how many times and for how long we've been trying to do VR!

Some of the "failures" were unfair IMO, like minitel and Block Buster: It's like saying using wind sails on ships was a failure because it was replaced by steam engines.
I made no claims contrary to anything in your post; your response — none of which I disagree with — makes me worry that you are coming in with a preexisting belief and just looking for reasons it must be true.

That said, there are plenty of multimodal networks (ie not slideshows), and we know very little about the relevance to intelligence of the “richness” of neural connections, activations, etc. — but it’s inarguable that we’ve made great strides in scale alone.

Live Updates: Elon Musk Takes over Twitter
At the very least, good regulations make shared markets like the EU one possible. That the EU has a tendency to over-do it is a different question. But things like the GDPR, REACH and others are actually net wins for society, and as result, the economy.
> Reviewing a PR, writing documentation, and sharing knowledge are all things taking time away from their passion.

They have to write the code because that's what is demanded of them. If management would prioritize communication they would get more of it.
Do they also check by CNAME? If I buy a domain and connect DuckDNS via CNAME, would filters trip on this as well?
> Frankly, Ruby on Rails - and Rspec provide an example that developers should be very verbose -- in their method names, their file names, the description, background, context, and specific examples..

Very interesting. Any practical example from said codebases?
I'm not going to "rush to judgment", but will take a "wait and see" approach. That said, as I said on this other related thread (which was unfortunately flagged to death)[1]:

I'm not going to up and close my Twitter account for no reason, but I did just finally get around to opening an account on a Mastodon server. I've been meaning to start moving more to the Fediverse[2] anyway, so this isn't a complete knee-jerk thing. But all the recent brouhaha over Elon buying Twitter did serve as sort of a nudge to finally take some action in that regard.

I do eventually intend to (at least mostly) wind down my use of all "walled garden" sites like Twitter, Facebook, etc., but I will probably do so gradually. And I may leave the accounts open and populated with a bot that periodically posts a reminder of where I can be found, or something. Not sure yet.

> Like other analog products that persist in a digital age (see vinyl, print media, and board games), much of the popularity of mechanical watches can be attributed to nostalgia. Quartz watches are superior in almost every metric: they cost less, tell better time, pack more features, and are far easier to repair. Yet it's mechanical watches that are the world's most sought-after, expensive timepieces.

This is a fascinating point. When it comes to our hobbies, romanticism trumps pure utility, and I think that's a lovely thing.
You’re entitled to your own opinion, of course, but why do you hold this view?

And why is “the reach of normal commuting of the ordinary user” a relevant bar — Google search (as an example) requires computation beyond the reach of normal computing of the ordinary user yet has still had a tremendous impact.
That's the actual definition of bad faith discussion. True to form, then :)

Edit: An actual dramatic improvement is trivial to pull from your bait example, by the way:

"Automated a manual process for collating tax ID and temporary merchant licenses for the state of Maryland, honoring rate limiting and supporting auditing of failures. Used Python and Gmail API".

Obviously there is some precision loss in my writing because I didn't work on the project and because your description of "something about tax ID's" was ambiguous to begin with.

Could even add "saving 30 hours a week/day/whatever".
It's too early in the morning, for this much pain. Please stop.
Where do you live? (Just curious)
I'm just confused as to why it's not even on the front page of HN.

I was expecting a story with 500 votes and 1000 comments. But it's just crickets. I scrolled through "new", there are a handful of stories with like 5-10 votes and 1-5 comments.

Where is the conversation around this? It's the top headline on the NYT, and here nobody's upvoting anything around it.
That's just feature creep, eventually they will implement all features of bash, zsh, csh, fish, elvish, oil, HolyC and all other shells that emerge in the meantime.
Definitely a price bump, mid contract too. If I actually relied on Pantone I’d be pretty mad that it’s suddenly 21 more dollars a month.
One of the first things he did was kill all the lawyers.
This paradox is already evident in commercial flight: as automation has increased, flying has become safer, but pilots themselves understand less and less about the machines they operate, and when automation fails they are ill-prepared to get themselves out of messes.
> The difficult bit here is the tendency for developers to detest these parts of the job. In my experience, most developers would prefer nothing more than to write code in a cave, never to share a word with anyone.

I wouldn’t say most developers fit this description, but there are a lot of people out there who embody this isolationist working style.

Some times they can be fit into a team’s structure if you have a constant stream of small tasks that really can fit into a queue of fully-contained tickets and the person is capable of self-managing and delivering good work at a reasonable rate. However, that’s a lot of conditions that many people just don’t meet. Often what ends up happening is that the rest of the team and the manager have to put in extra effort to work around the person’s personality, which slowly drags everyone else down.

That’s why it’s so important to screen for proper match during the interview process. I’ve seen a decent number of candidates who performed great on interviews, but couldn’t even pretend to be friendly during any stage of the interview. Surprisingly, a lot of them even seem to take pride in their demeanor.

I think there’s a romantic idea out there of coding mercenaries who show up, take paychecks in exchange for writing code in isolation until they feel like moving on. This mentality sounds great to people who dislike communicating or working with others, but it’s incompatible with any teamwork or any project that must scale beyond a single person. Most of the work I’ve been involved with has required teams and teamwork, so these people don’t really have a place in the team.
I have a haunted TV: my 4 year old Sony Bravia (Android TV) reboots seemingly intentionally during the most interesting parts of TV broadcasts. And since a few weeks ago, it also regularly loses the Wi-Fi connection. Thanks Google and Sony!
There are lawyers on both sides, fighting each other. That's how the system works. The winner is largely determined by the laws. The laws are set by legislators, and those legislators are heavily influenced by corporations.

The lawyers aren't the ones deciding what the laws are.
I agree with you, but all those tasks alternate with many hours during which a personal computer is used only for reading and editing documents, or Internet browsing, or audio listening or video watching.

For the latter activities, a computer bigger than an Intel NUC or similar computers is never needed.

I do CAD work, compilation of large software projects and other tasks that need a fast computer, but I do these on a couple of big tower servers, which I wake up only when necessary.

As a PC, I use an Intel NUC, but now there are more alternatives to it than ever, e.g. there are several models of small computers with AMD Rembrandt Ryzen 6000 CPUs.

The NUC-like computers are faster than the cheap laptops having the same CPUs and they also have a much more complete set of peripheral ports.

I frequently see comments that there are laptops which are cheaper than the NUC-like computers, but those cheap laptops are typically garbage that I would not use even if I would receive them for free. A laptop comparable in performance, versatility and reliability with a $1000 NUC-like computer may cost $3000 or more.

Most of it. Several Shakespeare plays are lost. And many more playwrights, without wealthy friends, are completely lost. It would be fascinating to have Thomas Kyd's version of Hamlet (likely Shakespeare's immediate source), or for that matter Kyd's precursor to The Spanish Tragedy. Kyd was, at the time, more popular than Shakespeare.

The point people are making in response to your post is that GDPRs default is reject. Not necessarily the implementations used on a website default.
Making a separate, 'researcher-friendly' device that is easier to own "without having to bypass its security features" on the surface seems so incredibly in line with Apple's general ethic yet so counter-productive in this particular context...
I think the appeal of a lot of these 'analogue' things is that they aren't as reliable as the newer replacements.

If you want to avoid sacrificing reliability, get a Samsung portable SSD. SSD-SATA dongles and SD cards will all represent a step down in reliability.
Arguably, that model is already dying in favor of what Adobe already does: Maximum extraction from everyone who doesn't have price sensitivity and scraps for everyone else.

Magic The Gathering for is releasing a set with 60 random non-tournament legal cards for $1000, while thinning supply for their previously most popular product (Draft boosters) in favor of more "premium" products with eye-watering prices.

Overwatch 2 has moved on to charging $20+ for their skins and limits essentially all progression to a non-randomized Battlepass that requires you to turn the game into your second job to complete. In OW1, loot boxes were awarded regularly and contained enough currency that a few hours of play could get you any of the now $20 skins.

Mobile games figured out that the top 1% of consumers of entertainment media can pay for the bulk of it if you just ask for prices asinine enough. I guess we'll see if barring the other 99% from all optional content will lead to dives in player populations.

Though this article is neither labelled "opinion" or "editorial", is is clearly an opinion piece, in both headline and content.

The possible perspectives that strategy games offer to players is vastly under-explored. Most assume that you control a drone-like army of soldiers, for the sole purpose of defeating an opponent. The Paradox games add much more nuance to this formula, but there is still a vast domain-space in the genre that is unexplored. For example, I'd like to see a game designed primarily around espionage and class warfare -- you cannot control or deploy armies directly, but you can build a network of allies, and use it to (attempt to) bring about changes in policy and dynamics.

Victoria II and III are headed in that direction with the POP mechanics, and modeling the ever-expanding reach of media in the 1800s (there is a reason that most countries centralized on a single national language for the bureaucracy).

But yeah, the only reason we haven't seen a credible Cold-War-era strategy game (aside from that one ancient Mac OS game) is because the era involved very little direct military conflict, and game-publishers have not yet figured out the mechanics of how to model a very nuanced conflict like that in a fun way.
Very short-term fluctuations in weight are usually caused by retention and flushing of water. Gaining 30kg over the course of 20 years is not water weight. If you were retaining that much water, you'd be so arthritic feeling I'm not sure you'd able to stand up. Unless you've been very serious and consistent about weight training that entire time, that 30kg is virtually all fat.
Indeed, I think a supervolcano like Yellowstone erupting is much more likely.
