So is posting on HN. It's as effective as glueing yourself to a painting (that is, not at all), but it's more environmentally friendly because none of us had to travel to do it.
The people at Tiananmen had a cause to protest, this is just a bunch of privileged assholes throwing a tantrum.
Mock-destroying a piece of artwork is not terrorism by even the most wild stretch of the imagination.

As for your link - that’s not what YOU are doing, that’s a plan agreed to by your government. It’s also nowhere near enough to actually halt climate change, if they even manage to hit that target. We collectively need to do much much more than outsource emissions to places outside europe.
I've wondered how far these TOS via clicks can go and what would actually stand up in court.

I'm also surprised an activist hasn't attached a TOS to sending payments such as "By accepting my money you agree to pay me $1 Million dollars for any time I spend more that 5 minutes with customer service without my dispute being settled."

I seem to remember a case where someone altered the fine print agreement on a credit card application and the credit card company lost the case with the consumer, but I forget the details.
Its not great data, but peak Steam player counts:

Witcher 1 Enhanced Edition: 12,685

Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition: 12,884

Witcher 3 Wild Hunt: 103,329
Numbers:

- Q4 wearables of $9.6B, beats est byu close to $1B

- Q4 Services Rev fo $19.2B short of Est by $800M

- Q4 iphone Rev of $42.6B meets Est

- Q4 ipad Rev of $7.2B, short of Est by $600M

- Q4 Rev of $90.2B beats Est by $2B, that also means its up 8ish% YoY

- Q4 Mac Revenue of $11.5B, beats by $2B, nice, forgot they make computers;)

- China Rev of $15.5B, this is interesting, AAPL clearly has alot of China exposure in a time when that can go away in an instant.

- declared a cash div of $0.23/share

Interesting:

- AAPL hiking prices on Apple One, up $2, Music up $1/month, TV up $2,

- they generated over $24B in cash

- they returned $29B to investors this quarter, wow, them and MSFT and cash flow machines, maybe the only two tech companies you want to hodl right now

- they have only spent $300M on acquisitions this year, that doesn't seem like alot.

Watch for:

- lots of currency exposure in this company, does the USD strength help or hurt them, or are they really good at hedging currency risk?

- AAPLE has $23B in cash, down 1/3 from this time last year. Mostly given back to investors. Probably nothing to worry about here:)

- $3 trillion in market cap has been lost in the past year among 7 of the biggest stocks. $GOOG $MSFT $META $AMZN $TSLA $NFLX $AAPL( from twitter)

- from bloomberg, Maestri said Apple will likely see 10 percentage points of currency impact in the first quarter.

That is alot, and a significant headwind.
That could be an entire paypal worth of currency drag

Guidance provided by AAPL

- revenue growth will decrease going into Q1

- mac revenue to decline substantially
I have almost moved on from Gmail (Gmail + Gsuite). I have been using Hey for almost 2 years now and I prefer it over Gmail/Yahoo/Outlook/Protonmail.

I think yours is a pretty common experience considering that Witcher 3 was a huge mass-market success and Witcher 1 was a niche product made both by and for insane people. I say this as a shameless Witcher 1 apologist.
VSCode is the only integration that the Deno core team maintains and develops. A rough poll indicates that about 80% of Deno users use vscode.

JetBrains/WebStorm now utilises the Deno language server directly (the same one that the VSCode integration uses) but they control how features are expressed in their client and when they deliver them, something the core team can't directly control.

So for various reasons, VSCode ends up being the focus.

It's tempting to dismiss this, but it's a bona fide randomized double blind study that found significant improvements in inflammation and pain versus placebos. And the sacrifice required amounts to wearing a patch on your foot when you sleep. I'd prefer to know the mechanism, but it sounds like no risk and low effort for a reasonable benefit, if it replicates.

I wonder if it would help to have a conductive patch through shoes and socks, for grounding during normal daily perambulation.
Is this true? This source (https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1711842115) gives a very similar percentage (95.8% of all wild mammals) and doesn't mention anything about excluding rodents or bats from the categorization of wild mammals. Is it in a footnote somewhere that I'm missing?

This is easily addressed. any evidence coming from such an encounter gets tossed. Cop claims they got assaulted by someone and had their hood up or their body cam was malfunctioning or covered up? Gets thrown out and charges stemming from the stop itself are dismissed. Civilian died in that situation and there was a similar problem? All cops on the scene are mandatorily charged with manslaughter - no prosecutorial discretion is allowed and a federal prosecutor is appointed.

A fig leaf of cops acting like gangsters is surprisingly quite easy to remove.
Not caring about the cause is effectively the same as being against it.
So there is nothing to lose, much to win.

Effectively, that is true; and the closer you get to absolute objectivity, the scarier it becomes to the average person (which was the crux of my point, so I appreciate your pointing out what you did). Fitting that the dude would have mentioned psychopaths, in that light.
Well I've never worked in FAANG, so yeah my knowledge of exact compensation levels is Glassdoor stats, which largely match up with what you're saying.

Perhaps my perspective is slightly skewed. Even just comparing to FAANG base salaries: From the perspective of a big defense contractor, we recently had a new grad start on our team, level 1 software engineer with a bachelor's in computer science from a mid-rank university, and he's making 85k/year. Maybe in 5 years he can expect to make about 115k between yearly raises and promotion to level 2, maybe 130k if he busts his ass and makes level 3 in that time. 200k+ is reserved for the engineers that manage to get their names on patents and know the right people/get lucky, and typically have decades of experience at the company and extremely deep knowledge of a high-value subject.

I'm not just someone "on this website," I'm a Harvard-educated lawyer in the federal government with over a decade of experience, including litigating Constitutional issues in federal district court. I assure you, there have been years and years of "further reading" and it was emphatically required.

It's a trendy take to say that judicial review isn't in the Constitution, and that may be superficially true, but it ignores two important facts that contradict that take:

(1) Article III's explicit grant of "appellate jurisdiction ... as to law"

(2) The Framers' own words in the Judiciary Act of 1789, which explicitly anticipates cases "draw[ing] in question the validity of a treaty or statute of, or an authority exercised under the United States, [where] the decision is against their validity" and reaffirms that such decisions may be "reversed or affirmed in the Supreme Court of the United States."

It is very clear what "appellate jurisdiction ... as to law" in "cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made" means. And for anyone who has any lingering doubts, just look to how the Framers implemented it in the very first Judiciary Act, less than seven months after the Constitution went into effect.

My only government-issued ID in the UK is my passport and my driving license. In theory if I didn't drive or leave the country I wouldn't need an ID at all.

Although the crackdown on illegal immigration means that I now need to prove my right to work in the UK whenever I take a new job. I'm not sure how I'd do this if I didn't have a passport.
> "JC Denton" is said to be a codename, and the player can create JC's true name and pick from a variety of preset appearances.

Hmmm, I don't remember that either—and JC is also sort of a meme with his default appearance (presumably), used as userpics on Youtube and elsewhere. So I guess many just picked the first look offered. Seeing as JC is considered very much a ‘blank character’, there probably wasn't much of a meaningful difference in the choice.

What privacy and decentralization are they talking about when the only way to access Zion are closed source mobile apps served through Apple/Google duopoly?

Any reasonably-sized storage has already been contracted out in advance, and improvising additional storage capacity isn't really viable given the amounts of gas we're talking about and the environmental laws storage has to comply with.

However, what has happened in the past for oil is tanker ships anchoring with a full load just offshore until they can sell the load for a good price. I don't know whether that's also feasible for LNG though, given the boiloff concerns.
std library is still considered "unstable" and the sub modules contained in there tend to have their own lifecycle as well. There has been effort to try to mature std to get to a stable version, which means cleaning up lots of things that would detract from long term maintainability.
Amazon had a net income of $33b in 2021 with ~1600000 employees: ~$20k/employee. Exxon had $23b with 63000 employees: ~$360k/employee. I'm just using numbers from a quick search, and it won't be great because they both have a lot of subcontractors, temporary workers, etc.

The point is that this metric is dominated by the most numerous workers, which probably isn't IT outside of big tech (or even in big tech). The real metric is impact that a particular hire has on the bottom line, which is hard to measure. Really, I think it is more about their separate job markets: Exxon posts positions in Dallas and pays what they have to to fill their positions, Amazon does the same in Seattle and gets a very different set of candidates.
To be blunt, the public obviously includes people suffering from paranoid schizophrenia delusions that make them believe they are an ambulance[0] and therefore "drive" into a painting where someone is injured in order to rescue them or something.

Or bored kids with crayons will try colouring it in and/or peeling off gold foil[1] if it has any, or well meaning idiots will try to restore it like that Jesus picture, or a hundred other things because the public isn't just the best of us, it's all of us.

If art isn't protected, it will be damaged. Failing to take preemptive defensive measures against predictable threats is not as blame-worthy as the actual proximal causes, of course, but it's still blame-worthy.

Master Foo once said to a visiting programmer: “There is more Unix-nature in one line of shell script than there is in ten thousand lines of C.”

The programmer, who was very proud of his mastery of C, said: “How can this be? C is the language in which the very kernel of Unix is implemented!”

Master Foo replied: “That is so. Nevertheless, there is more Unix-nature in one line of shell script than there is in ten thousand lines of C.”

The programmer grew distressed. “But through the C language we experience the enlightenment of the Patriarch Ritchie! We become as one with the operating system and the machine, reaping matchless performance!”

Master Foo replied: “All that you say is true. But there is still more Unix-nature in one line of shell script than there is in ten thousand lines of C.”

The programmer scoffed at Master Foo and rose to depart. But Master Foo nodded to his student Nubi, who wrote a line of shell script on a nearby whiteboard, and said: “Master programmer, consider this pipeline. Implemented in pure C, would it not span ten thousand lines?”

The programmer muttered through his beard, contemplating what Nubi had written. Finally he agreed that it was so.

“And how many hours would you require to implement and debug that C program?” asked Nubi.

“Many,” admitted the visiting programmer. “But only a fool would spend the time to do that when so many more worthy tasks await him.”

“And who better understands the Unix-nature?” Master Foo asked. “Is it he who writes the ten thousand lines, or he who, perceiving the emptiness of the task, gains merit by not coding?”

Upon hearing this, the programmer was enlightened.

I don't see anything concerning about the videos. But, I do think they should be shared with the public by default. Maybe after a short delay to allow redaction of sensitive scenes (which would in turn need to be acknowledged and explained and subject to future FOIA-style requests).

Same for body-cams worn by beat officers.

And in both cases, missing video (including purposefully obscured by car hood, etc) should be grounds for discipline.
This is a ridiculous assertion. Google won’t do anything like that. They’ll comply with the law, because they want European money.
They spend more time iterating on existing products rather than replacing them, not perfectly, but Google will throw away something good for seemingly no reason.

> the sci-fi overlay of street names, borders, parcel numbers, target distances, and so on

What's the difference between "sci-fi" and "high tech"? (ignoring the obvious answer that if it's real it's literally not "science FICTION") Seems to me like "sci-fi" is more of a boogeyman term. Many of the apps on consumer grade phones seem similarly advanced.

> "the footage is a product of the fantasy that the role of the police..."

I am frequently skeptical of the police as well, but only 600 hours that's mainly one moderately sized city in the US suggests the footage is more a product of the leakers. I assume the footage is highly correlated, such in a give date range or in a categorized archive.

There are over 2000 police helicopters in the US; 600 hours is less than a day's worth, taken as a portion of the aggregate. We need accountability in policing, but drawing conclusions from such a small dataset is intellectually dishonest, and is literally tapping into the same logic of extrapolation that "bad cops" use.

The rise of working remotely and the need for skill guilds
It’s not pages. It’s individual allocations. When free-ing and allocation, it returns it back to the free list to be popped off the next time an allocation of appropriate size comes along. Some implementations have a stochastic element to randomize the freelist entry returned to alloc. A type segregated heap mitigates many classes of type confusion exploitation by preventing confusing objects in use-after-free scenarios. It’s also incredibly expensive to zero out free-ed allocations each time.
I’d say the impending destruction of our planet is actually a few notches MORE important than the system of government in any one country.
look at any other 'eco-terrorist' group, you'll find more direct action rather than propagandist actions intended to influence the public.

the Animal Liberation Front didn't ask the public to destroy slaughter-houses. the sea-shepherds didn't ask the public to attack whaling vessels, and to give an example from fiction 'Avalanche' didn't ask the public to attack power stations.

> March is not winter, it's the start of spring.

That depends on which definition you're using. The astronomical winter runs until 21 March (and doesn't start until 22 December). Seasons in general are just a somewhat ill-defined concept, as weather doesn't particularly care about human constructs.

I seriously had to stop using LinkedIn a while back. Originally LI filled this professional networking and personal CRM niche for me. It has become a trash fire as they shifted to encourage more “social” and “engaging” content.

Like for real, I just want to know where folks are working at, what kind of projects they are doing and maybe give me context as to where I met them.

I truly don’t give a fuck about what epiphany someone’s kid gave them during some made up bullshit story.

> The wider Bay Area is not as bad

Lived in SF for 9 years (2012-2020), and visited many places in the whole bay area. I don't know what you're talking about, really.

Bullet train? Slower than the slowest train in Italy.

Homeless people? Try Mountain View, try San Jose. Only Marin County is a bit spared by it.

Dirty? Expensive? Pretty much everywhere. Few exceptions, like downtown Palo Alto, around the Apple store.

Really, you can't say it is "not that bad", unless you're forgetting there's the rest of the (civilized) world to compare it to.
I think the logic here is backwards.

Cars didn't become more popular (measured by usage per person) than trains because of the vast infrastructure that was built. Cars became more popular because they were more appealing and useful than trains (for the reason you mentioned - sense of freedom).
Cars CREATED the industries you mentioned (highways, gas stations, dealerships, car insurance, etc) because consumers wanted Cars. The demand for Cars increased, new industries were created from the demand, and the combination of all of the above moved the auto industry forward, displacing trains.
This isn't a sacrifice, it's the better product winning.

VR will succeed when VR is 'better' than the current non-VR options. People will use VR more, demand will increase, and current or new businesses will start building for VR. Lowering (or raising) the price of a VR headset, releasing new versions of low adoption headsets, or asserting that VR is the future, isn't going to increase demand. Usefulness increases demand.

I can search for basically any movie, click "add to watchlist" and some magic happens behind the scenes and an hour or two later; that movie is in my library, ready to watch with subtitles and all.
All my work buddies have the same system setup as well, so we're all sharing libraries to create an insane network of media, fit for any taste.
I will be astounded if that pans out. I’m 100% convinced that few will actually want a headset strapped to their face for any extended time. The only relevant app is games and even this is limited in scope (I was an early adopter of the Valve Index)
> t's sad that it took legislation to make this happen

Every time this topic comes up i still don’t understand what problem is this legislation supposed to solve. We’re not talking about infrastructure standarization like a gas pump, an electrical outlet or a lightbulb (which has hundreds of standards BTW) but a simple cable. Are we making laws just to accommodate consumer’s convenience now?
People are coming to realize that billions in revenue means nothing without any kind of margin.

And Amazon will never have high margins on retail. Their stock has coasted for decades on the belief that they would one day be able to monetize their e-commerce revenue.

Well here we are with over 100B in revenue. Where is the profit? There’s a dotcom level come to Jesus moment with the entire tech sector right now. The stories driving many of these stocks were nothing more than fairytales in the end

Cloud will have better margins, but the e-commerce business has been grossly overvalued for a long time.

It doesn’t mean they can’t be successful, but they will have more realistic valuations going forward, with much less excess
