Is this the same as breaking the buck?
It will take a quarter, but given the massive layoffs occurring now, the projections of early next year are looking spot on.

Inflation is a different problem.

What evidence is there of this?

If you have income automatically set aside for investments and savings, you already have a lightweight budget in the form of "I set aside X% or $Y every month and the rest is discretionary."

It's somewhat interesting that there was never a major public pressure campaign by the FBI to force Android phones to be backdoored, as there was with Apple. Maybe this was the tactic used by law enforcement (and others most likely) to unlock Android phones? Maybe Google knew about it and that accounts for their stalling on providing a fix?

Yes, that's how you start thinking after reading Yasha Levine's Surveillance Valley.

Yes. It would. And yet they do.
I would add, if your city permits it, buy a bicycle, or take public transport. You can have a car too, but every single trip you don't do in it is money saved. Kids are calling this "low car", in contrast to no car. Car dependence sneaks up on you, one moment you're a teenager with no costs the next you've got thousands a year in running costs and you're wondering where all your money is going. Fuel costs become non-negotiable, and maintenance is both hidden and a Russian roulette as to whether or not something major breaks.

Every time you don't drive the car, you play the maintenance slot machine one less time, and the accumulated effect of lower maintenance costs and lower gas is non-trivial.

The other thing I would add is to be honest with yourself, add up the car costs, rego, gas, tires, the maintenance schedule (you have a schedule even if you don't follow it). Your $20,000 dollar car probably costing you thousands a year.
That makes sense logically in our heads that such a course of action might save lives in the long run, a triage of sorts. But the nurses know the patients that would die if they quit, and they know the other nurses they would be heaping the work on, including watching those patients die. Nurses are taught triage, but when that takes the form of walking away from patients you could save to save more you have never met, I think that goes against what draws many to the profession in the first place.
It has been quite forcefully tested throughout the year. It has barely showed any weakness yet we have been hearing USDT is on the brink for years now.

As a general rule, successful programmers have been doing this forever:

- It works. You added 2 things. It doesn't work. Which thing broke it?
- It doesn't work. You changed 2 things. It works. Which thing fixed it?
- It works. Two people changed it. It doesn't work. Who broke it?
- One donut left. 2 programmers went into break room. No donuts left. Who ate it?

Now change "2" to "1" in all of the above examples. See how much easier?
I live near Ealing and it's been a tremendous improvement to my commute.

You're correct, fast intercity services and the stopping crossrail services likely cannot coexist.

But technically it is possible, assuming the requisite signalling standards are met by the rolling stock intended to be used. It's possible that only the Class 345 and Thameslink's Class 700's can meet this requirement currently.
Do firefighters normally pay hospitals to take responsibility for the patients the firefighters drop off at the hospital?
Across the executive mea culpas, there is this theme of "I over estimated demand". But, one could take the perspective that they correctly hired to extract value during peak demand, because on average each new resource is profitable, and are now are reducing resources because there is less value there to extract. An investor could argue that it is irresponsible not to hire for peaks and thus leave value inthe market. Tech jobs are always tied to the ups and downs of economic cycles. Perhaps the mea culpas are really "this cycle ended before I expected it to". Some roles and some firms are more buffered than others. It would be nice to know how volatile your value is.

It is human that you want to know what the another person whom you idolize on some level is like. Literature must one of the areas where people care about this the most, because you spend many hours opening up your brain to their writing. It may be less important with sports for example, but I still have a hard time cheering for somebody like Kyrie Irving.

I feel like if I needed a budget, that'd be a sign that I'm probably being too careless with my money to begin with.
Once KV’s brother Bernard, who was a well-known atmospheric scientist, came to the Darthmouth physics department to give a seminar. We had these on Fridays on various topics. A murmur went through the audience as we realized that, next to Bernard in the front row, sat Kurt. The department chair got up to introduce the speaker, but cut short his introduction to ask Kurt to introduce him. KV half-stood up, half turned around to us, and simply said, “My brother Bernard knows what he’s talking about. I think you should listen to him.”, or words close to that. Then he shut up and sat down.

KV refused to distract our attention from his brother. He knew that if he got up to address us that we would want him to keep talking, so he didn’t. He deliberately minimized his presence as much as possible. Nevertheless, the respect he had for his brother's expertise was palpable.

This was my only encounter with Kurt Vonnegut the person, and it made a powerfully positive impression on me.

Payment Gateways – Ask Question
Hi,

I am lately dealing with Payment Gateways such as Stripe, Paypal, WorldPay and so on, and what made me wonder is whether there is some well-known model for businesses explaining how to deal with the fees involved.

Let's take Stripe as an example.
For most of the initial (original) transactions fee is around 1.4 - 2.9% + 0.30 pence. Fair enough, however in their policy on 'refunds' they mention that most of the time refund is free of charge, however the initial processing fee is not returned.

What does it mean for the business? It simply means that if your customer paid 100 dollars, on top of that transaction was 1.4-2.9% fee charged. To simplify let's just assume that fee amount would be 3 dollars.

Now when you issue refund, you should return all 100 dollars to your customer, but in real you have only 97 dollars, as 3 dollars were taken as a processing fee by Stripe.

How businesses (especially start-ups) deal with this kind of issue? Do they cover this from their own pocket? Do they provide some clause in terms and conditions stating that customer is bound to cover this cost?

For a start-up having transactions such as 1000 - 2000 dollars, 3% fee might be quite big, so if they would be so unlucky to get several refunds per month, they could end up with a huge budget hole.

How do you deal with this on your end? I would appreciate some suggestions/solutions.

Thanks!
In America. This is why I love Europe, especially the places which preserve and continue to develop the tradition of beauty, variety, attention to detail, and individual “soul” of each and every place. In Ukraine, for example, every Puzhata Khata location (a cheap Ukrainian homestyle diner chain where I am sitting and eating as I write this comment) looks completely different with its own unique character and furnishings.

I assumed it was the lack of a homegrown OS? It seems OS's turned out to be a pretty big deal when device complexity moved beyond menu/+/- buttons on the side of the device.
Liberal Education
We're talking early '90s here. Security was a thing of course, it meant you set a five-character root password on your FTP server ;-). MD5 wasn't even around so you had to trust that your source tarballs were not tampered with whatever the origins.

So whether I brought them from home or that company (if it had internet at all...) pulled them from gnu.org probably wouldn't have made a material difference. It was one of the reasons there was a big antipathy towards free software, at least with the vendor tapes you had someone to sue if they got tampered with.
That actually sounds plausible. It’s a pretty simple explanation that would explain all the issues in the post.
> Maybe it'd be better to call them a tarball, but there is the way that you can install it and run it and then nuke it cleanly which you don't get out of the box with a tarball, which is why I like the package metaphor slightly better.

Containers are tarballs, e.g. the rootfs for runc, the layers of an image, and images themselves are usually tarballs. The extra stuff "you don't get out of the box with a tarball" are precisely the tools which we call "containers" (from low-level stuff like runc, to high-level things like online image registries)
I have no idea how you think my comment is contradictory.

Maybe just focus on the tl;dr?

You accused someone of bringing in outside information they should not have. I assert that, while they were very rude, the information they brought in was correct to bring in.

What am I missing?

I promise promise promise I am not deliberately misreading anything.

If we go back to the very start, you said "I don't think it's okay to call someone a bootlicker, or to reference their views from one thread in another". I'm not defending the bootlicker thing! I'm defending the referencing of views in this case, because and only because they are directly relevant.

You said two things were wrong, I think one of them is not wrong. That's not "picking and choosing" in any negative way.

I don't know why you ever thought I was defending the bootlicking accusation. But I didn't accuse you of misreading me on purpose.
From my viewpoint there is a common denominator to sound that makes it music, but music tastes don't last forever. What AI can't produce is novelty of expression. And also novelty in performance, like those small timing and volume variances created when someone is performing (jamming) in a group. But suppose AI has enough of a data set to even mimic that, people will seek out a new sound at some point. I could even imagine some weird sci fi techno dystopia where music is no longer recorded because AI can mimic it almost instantly so people flock to in person performances.

My point is that expressions of emotions have a certain bar of excellence. What make clair de lune so classic? I don't think you can quantify that. Nor can you fully recreate Jimi Hendrix's playing style to the ear of a guitarist who's been playing for years. Maybe you can fool a lot of people but it will always feel like a cheap imitation and music tastes will have moved on by then.

Off topic Side note: This is one of those rare internet posts that hits the bullseye for me. Everything from the discussion of the half-life game engine to making music in the early 2000s, to the thoughts on the music industry and LAN parties.

OP you and I are bredren. This is what the internet used to be like, finding out that your own experience is shared. All your thoughts and opinions mirror a lot of my own. I gave up the chase of being a guitar for hire a couple years ago. All the best man.

That doesn't follow from the fact that admin decisions don't reflect the will of the userbase. I'm not a fan of my state' laws about fishing licenses, but that doesn't mean I'll move to another state. Same for Mastodon users.

I expect clients that combine timelines from alt accounts using different servers to become the norm. Users get all the benefits, with more ability to opt out. If I've got Jim@alt.net on banning-instance, and Mike@tim.com on the banned instance, and their timelines are combined client-side, it's the best of both worlds.

Increasing income is what you might be able to do in the future. Spending less than you earn is what you can do right now to keep the hole from getting deeper. The author is correct. It applies at all income levels. When I read the title of the article, I instantly knew what the golden rule was, because it's obvious.

If you make $35k, it is still possible. It might not be comfortable, and that seems to be the great success of capitalism in the 21st century: convincing people that they shouldn't ever be uncomfortable, or that they can't be without certain items or experiences that they most certainly can be.

Increasing income is great. Literally (almost) everybody wants this. There is high demand for increasing income. The supply is part of the issue, and the cost of increasing income is the next barrier. Bettering your situation takes effort, either to decrease your spending, or to increase your income. Doing both at the same time takes double the effort.

The last thing somebody making $35k (or $25k) needs is some provincial yuppie zoomer saying to them "Just make more money lul". It doesn't help anything.
Why not both? The "coolest" systems I've built definitely were the scariest to move to production...
Almost quarter of a thousand. Yay!

That does raise an interesting question though. If one wanted to create a command-line tool (or, rather, toolset) as comprehensive as curl, but with a much smaller API surface, how would they go about it? Sure, some of these flags are just shorthands, and some of them could be removed entirely (-o → stdout redirection), but that still leaves a lot of options.

https://twitter.com/mhonkasalo/status/1590665714490544128

Which is particularly interesting since they're known to be one of Tether's largest customers. The only rational explanation I can think of is that they think Tether is primed to tank, and they're trying to beat the rush to the exits like Goldman Sachs pouncing on Bear Sterns.

> I have a hard time understanding why you’d think that squeezing suppliers isn’t part of capitalism.

I have a hard time understanding why healthcare should be capitalistic and have a capitalist class who profit from simply owning healthcare facilities.
The biggest issue contributing to aggression, passive-aggression, hostility etc. on microblogging sites like Twitter IMHO is the short-form.

200-odd characters is simply not enough to fully articulate some thoughts and is contrary to how people communicate in real life.

Drawing an opaque, dark line. Almost all these screens are adding light to an existing scene. The only way they can make black is to just not project light, which means you need to have a dark background to actually show dark.

Yes, if it sticks, but Tether has had a couple of scares before and bounced back.
Yes the US does - it varies by state and even by town/city.

Many of the towns near me you need to actually be a paramedic to become a firefighter and vice-versa - can't be one without the other in some areas.

Not sure I necessarily agree with this, but it does happen. I see the benefit, but also think there are a lot of people that would be good firefighters, but may not have the willingness or ability to do the classroom and testing required to be pass a full paramedic course.
Am I reading this right? This reads like the presence of a UI element holds the unlock state of the phone?
Java was a mediocre language made primarily to be optimized for midsized companies and aimed to be learnable by mid level engineers. There's a lot of boilerplate and ceremony to do even basic things and a type system that takes time to learn while not providing much benefit.

I've heard its gotten better in recent years but why bother?

- you want the jvm libraries? kotlin is a much cleaner syntax that also runs on android and can be compiled to js.

- need speed? rust is hot and has a lot of mindshare going into it as we speak.

- Need cheap devs you can rotate out on your pivot cycle till you land on a viable business model? javascript lets you build your whole stack in the same language with a large pool of junior to senior talent.

- need websocket or realtime? elixir wins the day there.

- ml? you night have a contender here. jvm based projects like spark and hadoop use the jvm. extensively. That said, scala seems more widely used in production there but its not a field I'm super close to so I could be mistaken.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that java isn't particularly bad but it doesn't have an edge either. there's nothing compelling in it thats going to give you an edge in delivering value to the users.
Because cryptbros are incapable of taking the wise choice when the greedy choice is on the table. So predictable.

This is the problem with python's conflation of iterable and iterator, and maybe why so many programmers don't understand the difference when they pick up Java.
The hospital billed every single person they treated that night. They aren't a charity. They also bill the customers the firefighters kindly transport to their store free of charge for them.

There are several unions, the main ones being the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) and Unison. The former had always been the "no strike" union, they made that their selling point (when recruiting members). Up until this year, this is their first strike in England.

I knew I was a distractible person, but I never realised the degree to which having the URL and tabs at the top of my browser was a drag on my productivity until I began using Arc. Now, I basically always keep Arc in focus mode and it has had a really positive impact on my concentration. There are definitely things about the browser that bother me, but this one benefit has been enough to make it my new default.
> hugboxes

I'm sure there's a nicer way of saying that. I've worried that I would end up in an echo chamber of my own on there, but saying things like "hugbox" are unnecessarily rude to people who have tended to prefer isolation because of the effect the world has on them. We can't choose how others react to content, but we shouldn't chastise them for wanting to protect themselves from harm, even if we don't agree with the definition of harm.
For what it's worth, all the famous either unlocking or remote hacking sagas (like Pegasus) have mostly been around iPhones. Which either indicates that Androids are so trivially hacked that nobody is even talking about it (sounds a bit doubtful, IMO, hopefully), or that the majority of "targets" have been using iPhones. It has certainly been the case with all the hacked journalists I remember.

Also the Android landscape is much more fragmented, so maybe a vanilla Android exploit might not work on MIUI, so hackers don't bother when it's "easier" to develop for iOS, which has the majority of juicy targets anyways?
> this is like all nurses going on strike - what do you do if you need to gove birth?

You see a midwife to give birth, not a nurse. I believe they’re also striking, but they’re not nurses and it’s an entirely different strike.
Sleep mode could suspend all activity? You could encrypt all memory before sleep?

It doesn't seem unsolvable, as long as sleep (closing lid) suspends all activity.

(lock with background activity is different, lets discuss the sleep case)
People could die because nurses have to cut corners to keep up. It's better to not be involved in unethical behavior than to contribute to it continuing to limp along.

And to be clear, I don't think of this as a "negotiation tactic with the bosses". I see this as a tactic to get the bosses evicted completely.
