Quite disappointing. I really don’t understand the dogmatism people have for crypto these days. I don’t think most people are making their own conclusions. As soon as mass media found a credible way to bash crypto, it seems that the discourse has completely and artificially reversed. Being dogmatic means missing out on cool projects and hampering progress. I think the right questions to ask are: “how can we improve this tech to use less energy?”, “how do we stop nefarious and harmful use?”… The ‘common take’ now is to just bash crypto rather than to improve it. It’s obviously a cool piece of technology and it’s a real shame to see it just be outright slandered now.
The name is the single more important fact about a thing. Omitting that is not acceptable in my opinion.
My question to all similar conspiracies, sure I can assume US could be evil and corrupt, but then you have their enemies like China and Russia , you have other more neutral countries like EU or India , why are all of this scientists in this conspiracy?

And how is it possible that the conspiracy groups can't gather some money to raise a balloon and prove the earth is flat or buy access to an Earth based telescope and prove their ideas using evidence?
Companies profit from information asymmetry. Efficiency comes from reducing that asymmetry, but efficiency also means less ability to profit.
> Right and wrong exist independent of the capacity of Man to do evil.

That seems like a variation on the old "if a tree falls in the forest but there's no one there to hear it ...." By analogy: For 300-plus years, millions of kidnapped Africans and their descendants were unable to convince the white rulers of the American South that enslavement was evil — as indeed it truly is — because the enslavers, in their echo chamber, had convinced themselves otherwise and had the guns. Consequently, the enslaved workers' "natural rights" were a nullity — that is, until the U.S. Army weighed in and kicked the shit out of the southerners. (I have a lot of sympathy for an anonymous Army officer's tweet that I read awhile back: Sherman should have mowed the south like a lawn, with multiple passes.)
Same here. In fact, I took it one step further and drafted a document that outlines all the important business contacts I have the she would need to contact in case of my death. To liquidate assets, and/or help with keeping the businesses I have running. Online services, hosting providers, etc.
Is there any context, e.g. a press release, for people unfamiliar with the apple dev environment?
Or, I could be a developer burdened by developing, marketing, and promoting my product. Unable to afford the time nor the energy to dedicate a large portion of my already limited budget on such things. Fundamentally, you are correct. Practically, you are very wrong. If you've ever been in this situation, as I have, you simply do the best you can with the tools you have. Sometimes this means not doing anything at all. Is this correct? Probably not. However, no one is paying me to do it and if someone threatens to sue me over it I'll pull the code and release it under an anonymous pseudonym. At some point automated scanners that look for things like this and send mean emails about compliance, legal action, etc are just bullying not different from patent vultures.

Heading down this path, while valiant, must be done carefully. Otherwise, Google/Apple/Microsoft/Amazon etc will be the only people with the budget to allow for full compliance to every possible disability that may effect the use of their product. I'm not convinced you understand just how much time and energy it takes out of actually delivering a product on a limited budget (in Nord's case free).

Your use of "alienate" has venom behind it that makes me think you're implying they do this deliberately to spite people with disabilities. Occam's razor.
That seems like a big leap but I'll bite. How do you see a connection between "Let people know what salary they're in the running for" and "You must not pay more than XYZ for this job"?

I get that it is possible but I'd be interested if you have reasons for believing it is a real risk beyond a slim chance.
The reason I value freedom of speech is the same reason I am not an absolutist: it is a power to trigger changes, and while all improvements are changes, so are all declines.

As with all other laws, my personal preference is the maximum possible liberty that doesn't allow people the liberty to remove other people's liberty.

Unfortunately, that's a soundbite and not a well-defined policy position, and I don't know how to generate the latter from the former.

The fact is that many employers don't actually know what they would be willing to pay someone.

Bullshit. Maybe some start-up with no HR. But, any moderately sized company is buying salary info, working with compa ratios, and has internal salary ranges mapped to positions.
React Training worked really well, was very profitable till Covid shut it down. Obviously not a scalable startup type thing but still a nice little business.
This would be worthwhile if you hadn't read the article and already decided that twitter execs meeting with DHS weekly to discuss specific accounts and what should be done about them is not censorship.
Carbon is the great filter (pun intended). It produces huge amount of possible chemicals, thus carbon life is very likely. It's obvious that any civilization would burn carbon as energy source, which is also what kills them all.
I used to sort my data into organised archives on USB HDDs, until I went to college.

Then I found it time consuming and began to just dump home folders and SD cards onto SATA HDDs for back ups

And now I haven't even done back ups since I began to work.

Tagging some USB stuff would be the most straightforward for them, I guess.

For only $6/month, you can buy a managed instance of Mastodon[0] with 20gb of media storage. For an additional $1/year, you can buy a custom domain to use with it.

Obviously everyone isn't going to switch because of this, but if you're a microblogging nerd who wants the most out of their platform, Mastodon is looking increasingly appealing.

Maybe there is a market for complete, comprehensive documentation by a 3rd party? Something similar to "definitive" programming books of the past, but web-based / searchable and maybe importable into IDEs.

That would destroy the stock price, and executives get paid largely in stock.
Are there any technical details of how this works on the backend?

I thought LastPass only kept encrypted user data that only the master password can decrypt. Would this process mean they keep an accessible copy?

I suppose the process could be to encrypt my master password with a public key generated by the spouse account (with the private key stored in their encrypted bundle), that LastPass servers can store and provide on delayed request?
I wish.

Doesnt work for me
I can see the issue with this, but we also can't simply ignore the information warfare happening in the modern world.

It's one thing for them to control US citizens rethoric, but there's very much state-warfare going on and the US is a big target.

Is that an elephant in the room we don't want to talk about?

I feel we're coupling two problems, one of free speech for citizens in their democratic process, and another of information warfare from enemy of the US against it.

Everytime you've got a non US citizen or resident tweeting, retweeting, and other such about US political topics, that's state warfare. Sure sometimes it's just somebody else that cares, but let's not pretend it isn't often time part of state warfare.

Being able to influence the votes for candidates that other states feel will be more supportive of them or would destabilize the US in ways they benefit, that's definitely happening.

Now I don't know if what the DHS is doing is overreach and also affects the internal democratic process, but I really think we should all think a little about how vulnerable we've made ourselves to outside actors.
"All it did"
This phenomenon didn’t begin with Twitter. Remember the whole ‘Learn to Code’ thing?
I have never had a first interview where the recruiter or TA person could not or would not let me know the salary range.

Would it be nice to know in advance, yes. Is it necessary for me to know in advance so long as I can get it during the fist contact? No.
Well, motorcycles are cheaper to fix/replace, and being much lighter than cars, are less likely to cause property damage or injuries to other parties.
We’re fucking exhausted and there’s never an end to work (agile). That’s probably part of it.
Sure, this is the desirable solution. But...your example, people did believe it. So is it not as easy as we'd like? Or as a society, what do we do when this easy bar is not being met by our friends, neighbors, relatives?
This is not true. I don't know who told you this.

All of these relationships are two way. If they make a demand to change the expectations of working hours and work time, you say no, I won't do that. They can fire you if they don't like the relationship, but even in the US you're likely to win at least unemployment benefits.
I've spent hours looking over code before delivering to FAANG. Our company had put a clause into the contract that our code was free of any GPL'd code. It happened before and it was discoved. The whole thing was a very expensive excersice. I'm aware that many small startups, 90% of which go bust anyways, just ignore licenses but that doesn't work when you play with the big boys.
AMD has a huge gaping pricing hole between AM4 and anything AM5, which makes Intel 13th gen rather more attractive. And the 5800X3D is actually faster than the AM5 parts in some titles iirc
We use a lot of React at Shopify on top of Rails, along with Go and Rust for critical performance systems on the backend.
Here is the catch; when Intel and AMD presented their slides, nobody could disclose information about the Lovelace performance, and therefore all comparisons were made using a 3090ti, and in that scenario, even in Intel's own graphs, the 5800x3d was actually performing very well; so much so that they were playing coy with its performance;

First off, wrongthink is not a thing, you're thinking of crimethink.

Second off, those are literally different things. Malinformation is defined in the article as information shared, out of context, with harmful intention. Crimethink is not about sharing or intentions, it's literally about having a thought that goes against The Party. No need to share.

Go ask your team lead/CEO/CTO how recruiting works.

LOL. I've never listed a position without knowing the salary range ahead of time. That range comes from our comp/ben team in concert with somebody from finance.
I could believe you, but unfortunately journalists have trashed their credibility with their turn to "moral clarity" post-Trump. With the effective merger of the opinion and news beats in this era, "another person familiar with the deal who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters" could refer to anybody at all with a grudge against Musk, and we as readers would have no way of knowing which of the cases it is if the source's motivations align with WP's editor's motivations (to denigrate Musk). This report is from a paper that still employs Taylor Lorenz as a "columnist covering technology and online culture" (https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/taylor-lorenz/), when her main beat is more about being the moral enforcer of the progressive media's opinions on tech, online culture, trans issues, etc.
And you can of course bring it up early on in your calls with the company as well.
Ahh.. I see. Yeah, that's structurally unlikely to happen any time soon on iOS. "open a link" is not a shared idea across apps. In one app that'll be a webview, where the OS could get involved. In another app it'll just be a button - the OS doesn't know if that button is perceived by the user as a "link" or not.

So I think it'd have to be an app-review policy, and I suspect they'd have a LOT of pushback if they tried to enforce something like that.

They could have structured the OS so that each transition to a new view was a request to the operating system to open a URL, and the OS handled the routing to the browser, this app, a different app - but without that kind of a structure I don't think this very doable.

It used to be that the State had an established Religion that worked with the state to establish Truth and its boundaries. Therefore the Spanish Inquisition was not merely a religious event but a State event, where heretics were considered seditious or treasonous, and thus handed over to the State to be dealt with before it could be destabilized by dangerous thoughts, words, and actions.

Now what do we do about Truth in this age of disestablishmentarianism? There is no one Religion of the State, and therefore there is no one Truth, there is a Plurality of Truths. That seems to present an existential problem for arbiters of Truth within the borders of the State, doesn't it.
Yes, good will sometimes. Other times it may be all about giving someone a very strong incentive to play nice while they find a new gig. Sometimes people basically need it.

These kinds of things are not always about the strict minimum cost actions. In general, it is a better world with some degree of human consideration being part of things.

I am quite sure many of the cases I had involvement in could have been done cheaper. However, I am also quite sure the people involved had what they need to get through to their next gig with few worries too.

That is worth a lot and these days one can never know who may be working for or with who.
Could there be a commercial or nonprofit media platform that licenses users before they're allowed to post, and revokes the privilege if they abuse it?
Not really, at least not for all of them. US college endowments, for example, invest into all sorts of things, from highly illiquid developing market investments to options, ventures and hedge funds.

A couple of times at MIT I saw an overview with a general allocation. I do not remember the details and was not particularly curious, but it certainly had "we can invest in whatever we need and want" flair. It got a >14% average annual investment return for the last 10 years, not something one could get with government bonds. You can look at the endowment reports of the Ivies; many publish some outlines every year.
It's possible to exist in modern society without a drivers's license. I'm not sure the same is true for the internet anymore.
Fwiw all states are at-will, though there are varying exceptions from state to state.
A close object with nothing behind it also has an absence of parallax. So those pics could be holograms on the surface of a bubble.

Also, if that astral body is a gazillion miles away, how are you going to get two perspectives on it to see if there is parallax or not? Even if you do that, you can't prove it's not a hologram.
That might have something to do with the general intelligence prediction supercomputer sitting between the ears. If Tesla is saying they won't have real (not just an 80 percent solution that they then lie and say is complete) self driving until they develop an AGI, I agree
> In my opinion, what we should be talking about isn’t the moderation decisions Twitter et al are making, but why they have so much power over information in the first place.

While I agree with you in principle, experience shows that public pressure can change Twitter's moderation policy—but I think suggesting that Twitter remove or reduce its power over information is less likely to have success. So, in a regulation-hostile environment such as the US, where it is preferred to leave decisions to businesses whenever possible and beyond (and what could Twitter do, even if it wanted to, to limit its power over information?), it seems like we might as well pursue the policy that has some chance of success, in the hopes that it gives us enough time to address the bigger problem.
I have. I have a password manager containing everything, with the password to that enclosed in my end of life paperwork with the lawyer/in the bank vault. My will spells out who is to do what with that information.

So they're claiming things, that are part of being a supportive parent and are not abuse, are abusive. And possibly encouraging harrasment of supporting parents and doctors?

This is a pretty classic "managing up" scenario, some notes on stuff IME:

- To convince yourself if this is criticism is any way _only_ self-serving, (not saying it is), ask yourself "would I feel this way if he was doing a great job but I was still underwater in areas XYZ?". If yes, great, proceed

- Note: the above implies you could feel this way even if he was doing an awesome job. The solution would just be to hire or prioritize better.

- Ask for a private of 45-90m with the ask "can we talk about some long-term stuff?". In this chat, do not waste time getting to the point and stay focused on 1 thing: your needs to do the best job you can. No compliment sandwiches and very little catchup, keep the mood focused and productive, not destructive or lighthearted.

- Focus on your needs and the org's needs. You will be criticizing this person, there is no way around it, but you should not be mean-spirited. The source of your frustrations is your needs, so you should not try to criticize, you should try to be productive (if you want this person to stick around).

- Watch this video from YC about how to handle cofounder disagreements, because its the same thing: https://youtu.be/30a5yFBd7Fo?t=263 -- in particular, focus on "Non-violent communication". Yes, it sounds like a meme, but its the only productive way to have these conversations and it works.

- Keep in the mind the end goal is to still work together. Do not burn bridges.

good luck!
Not only that, but Turbo Pascal was very efficient as a linker too, linking only library code that was actually used in the program, as opposed to Turbo C/C++ that would link the entire library. As a result, "Hello, World" was ~2KB for TP vs. ~15KB for TC. I may not remember the sizes correctly, but the difference was dramatic. Of course, for bigger programs the difference was a bit smaller. And it was fast!
On the PC you can enter pretty much any byte by holding Alt and typing the (decimal) value on the number pad. But here's a "Hello world" in plain ASCII, that works on two different CPU architectures (x86 and 8080):

x)y'!B:)),DM!G@))p,T]l%)),@@@Hello, world!$XP5]A%=!P[PZ^V!wV!wX5.<(GV(gX534,!(GWr!

My first version was shorter than 80 characters and "symmetrical" (same number of bytes before and after the string), but it didn't work on the 80486 and under DOSBox. The '486 needed an extra jump to clear the pipeline, and DOSBox didn't support the CP/M "CALL 5" interface.
Hardly. Severence is non-statutory (aka optional), and those terms are quid-pro-quo and perfectly fine.

If the employee doesn’t like the terms, they’ll just get the statutory minimum.

It’s pretty rare anyone takes that option though!

From Wikipedia: "Even at the slow pace of currently envisioned interstellar travel, the Milky Way galaxy could be completely traversed in a few million years.[12]"

The assumption is that they would be expanding to larger areas of the galaxy that they have not been to before. I'm asking why we would assume that they would want to expand to billions of solar systems. Obviously we can assume that humans would want to expand since we have a long history of that. But there is no reason to assume they would think like humans, especially given that we have not achieved interstellar travel ourselves.
Yeah, no they don't. Show me another implementation of any of those languages and I'll show you a toy no one actually uses.
If they are sincere, it's very useful to allow them to identify themselves by publicly announcing this in advance. Much easier to stop them before they get going if you know who they are.
To be fair this has happened to other consoles like the ps vita. It’s possible to download the games from the online stores. The games can’t run because they’re signed, so it’s a simple http request to start the download.

Except the cryptography and security has been bypassed. So the consoles have a homebrew app that lets you download and install to console and pirate the game. All done on the console.

Like many others here, I also have a 1Password account shared with my wife so she has access to all of our accounts.

Besides that, I have a tag called `after-he-dies` with some secure notes in it, including a note that tags every account at a bank or investment account where we have money, so that she won't risk losing 20k or something because she doesn't know where every money account is or whatever.

That tag also includes a note with instructions for how to make sure that the accounts that automated bills pull out of don't run out of money.
Love seeing the confirmation bias from people who expect Musk to improve Twitter on day one.
The kernel developers and Asahi developers ultimately have the same goals, they just develop in different ways with different priorities. The kernel has always moved at a snails-pace, even for longtime contributors. Dealing with the quirks of unsupported hardware isn't their job, it's completely unsurprising that these maintainers don't take M1 support seriously in the same way they treat Intel or AMD-submitted patches.

If Apple wanted the Macbook to have quick Linux support, they should have merged the patches themselves. When you leave the community to do a corporation's job, things don't exactly move at a fast clip.
