I would say that good chunks are things that people who've had to work in high performance computing will know about or would be able to figure out.

Having said that, this line is probably the most difficult part of figuring the whole thing out:

I was bringing up one of the more sketchy parts of many MLM companies, the out of pocket cost before someone can actually make money selling product.

The point was buy in can absolutely be used as part of a scam see many 90’s MLM “companies”, but it may also be part of a perfectly reasonable business model.

You said screw them.

> We could lower prices closer to their pre-inflation values if they lowered their profit margins to pre-inflation values too

That's a fantasy. Communist countries have inflation, too (and higher), and the industries don't make any profits.

> Yea, thats the difference between legal and not illegal in most cases?

The difference here is extremely subjective. Selective prosecution is a real thing, and it's not about whether a crime was committed or not.

> The Microsoft case rested on the fact that bundling the product restricted market entrants ability to compete, not on pricing.

It was about giving it away for free. (Microsoft never tried to prevent Netscape from running.) Note that everybody gives it away for free today. As for bundling, operating systems have always "bundled" all sorts of programs and utilities. My Kindle even comes with a browser "bundled" into it. Oh, the humanity!

Apple's walled garden ecosystem is far, far more anticompetitive than MS and Explorer, and not a peep from the Justice Dept.

> Specifically, the FTC claims that their purpose is to prevent monopolies, not to prevent consumer harm...

Or maybe Bill Gates did not acknowledge the authority of the FTC and the FTC decided to show him who's the boss. This is not unfounded, there was a fair amount of talk about that at the time.
I think this is a solid approach.

Thank you, HTF.
Really? Twitter seems to be doing the Tumblr style "piss off your core audience" dance pretty well right now.
Agreed. I haven't dug into the FTX terms of service, but as you put it, the lack of regulations around crypto should be irrelevant - this is outright fraud/theft. Assuming depositors don't all get their money back (which seems like the obvious outcome), seems like some long jail terms are in order.

I mean, Madoff got 150 years and died in prison after about 10 years. While I don't see the FTX fraud in the same league (Madoff went to great lengths, for example, to generate phony statements over many years) it still sounds like fraud to the tune of billions.
This exact variant with no interaction code execution doesn't, but it's possible to use the vi line editing keys via this bug and do something like hide a command before the current cursor position. (OpenBSD's ksh will show a little "<" in that case.)
I personally solve it by abusing Google cloud storage. If you have a domain name you can get their enterprise account for $20 a month with unlimited storage. I have close to 100TB of stuff on there. Rclone crypt makes sure they have no clue what it is. Rclone mount shows it as a mounted drive.
The problem is that, what airlines want, and what regulators want, is now too expensive to independently develop and start a new competitor for, even if you are well resourced like China, Japan or Russia (which all have attempted and failed to break into international aviation sales).

A new aircraft development is a $15B+ R&D investment, for the price and fuel efficiency and safety required. McDonnell-Douglass and more recently Bombardier messed up their bets and it cost them their independent existence.

> "I was sitting there, staring at the bread in my sandwich," said Arnold. "And I thought to myself, this is exactly the kind of structure that we need."

Reminds me of Eli Whitney seeing a cat defeather a chicken while trying to pull it through a fence, inspiring the cotton gin (learn from nature). Wasn't the original Starlite also derived from edible matter [0]?

They started with the bread because of its spongey texture (fine, compacted flour expanding as yeast yields gas) but arrived at the egg white protein structure which is less apparent to the naked eye (the light color implies low density solid? Polar bears appear white but hair is clear, which means more empty space thus insulated?).

> Egg whites are a complex system of almost pure protein that—when freeze-dried and heated to 900 degrees Celsius in an environment without oxygen—create a structure of interconnected strands of carbon fibers and sheets of graphene.

I wonder if this rapid temperature change is embrittling the structure (squeeze with cold then stretch with heat) causing it to fragment into the "two dimensional" graphene sheets after being depleted of everything but the carbon. But the carbon fiber protein strands are cylindrical - how is this leading to flat one-atom thick sheets? Perhaps this rapid temperature gain to a specific 900C is akin to the specific resonant frequency that will shatter the crystalline structure of glass.

I bought Affinity Photo. The keyboard shortcuts don't work unless "focus" is on the image, I think. So often, they don't, and you have to click on the image to make them work. This rather defeats the purpose of shortcuts.

Using the keyboard shortcut to select a tool, also changes which subtool is selected. This is infuriating, and a magnificently stupid UI design.

I really wanted to like Affinity Photo, and I certainly use it as a photo editor, but every time I do I just wish I'd paid for Photoshop instead. It's pretty bad.
Thank you. I've heard of these guys as well.
This is, increasingly, one of the only things I find myself locked into GitHub for: if I'm working in a space that's sufficiently "old" (e.g, macOS APIs), I generally cannot get Google to produce anything useful anymore and end up having to comb through various GitHub repositories. It's maddening.

No other code search engine comes close anymore, unfortunately.
I would love to hear more of the history of those sites. I discovered Oink by being invited by a friend in highschool and then rode on waffles.fm until it was shut down too. I have so many good memories of those sites and I learned to develop better writing skills participating on those forums. It was one of the few places on the internet I ever felt active in.
I feel that this is where accessibility needs to go. We cannot rely on toolkits to implement support for accessibility standards because there will always be people building apps in niche toolkits / homemade gui's which don't support accessibility, especially as wasm becomes more common on the web.

We need to treat the screen like a PNG which an AI can parse to determine what the text is, what text is relevant to read to the user, where and what the buttons are, how to emphasize reading the text based on the visuals, etc. It's the only thing that will scale and while difficult it seems that creating something like this is within reach.

I find this hilarious. I’m not expecting things to head this way, but recent news make it seem like we are headed back to the the “internet we all miss”.

A year ago it seems inconceivable that two of the biggest social networks (fb, twitter) would be on their way out. It seemed like such a big ship with a lot of momentum, just chugging along. Things have changed so much since then, what a strange turn of events.
> "activists" ran advertisers off

For that definition of "activist" that means "people dropping the n-bomb all over twitter," I suppose.

In all seriousness, though, it is in fact hate speech that has driven advertisers away. It's not at all difficult to measure using keywords and sentiment analysis, and what has happened is an immediate order of magnitude more hate speech after Elon took over. That kind of environment does not attract conventional advertisers.

> ...a range of terms were examined to see if frequency of use increased in
correlation to the change in ownership and stated platform focus. The terms included
vulgar and hostile terms for individuals based on race, religion, ethnicity, and
orientation. Collection of the totality of Tweets using these words in the period
immediately before and after Musk’s acquisition was done to assess both frequency and
the rate of with which this content was posted. Tweetbinder’s sentiment analysis tool,
which measures positive or negative tone in Tweets, was utilized to assess potential
hostility in the collected data.

> Specifically, the seven-day average of Tweets using the studied hate terms prior to

28 to 12 noon, however, hate terms were Tweeted some 4,778 times. Calculation of
potential reach (i.e., the potential number of times a term posted in Twitter could have
been viewed) was in excess of three million. As such, this research suggests that there
was an immediate, visible, and measurable spike in hate terms on Twitter after Musk
took over as CEO.

You are describing their reserve requirements at the fed itself. Nothing has changed with their A&L requirements from the variety of banking regulators (including the fed & fdic).

For comparison there were rumors that Credit Suisse was in trouble when r their asset to liability mix got around 1.65. That is they marked their assets to 165% of their liabilities and it was a major issue.
No, just the general concept of a bodega cat but good call!
It's not a "dog whistle". By that same logic , both dogwhistle and disinformation are "dogwhistles" too. People who distrust MSM tends to use phrases such as "real truth" and people who read and repeat MSM tend to use phrases like dog whistle and disinformation.

This isn't a flaw in the search engine either. If you use the phrase "real truth" in your search you are likely distrustful of what has been presented as truth. It's similar to how I use negative words in searches to try to find criticism of various subjects and products.
It's subjective anyway, so depending on the context, then perhaps yes.

If I am in a bookstore, the chances are that NYRB Classics volumes will catch my eye (if the store has them). The series has brought back into print a number of worthwhile books that were hard to find, it has come up with some excellent items that weren't previously out there (that I know--I'm thinking of The Jeffersonian Transformation). The logo is a small part of the "trade dress" (if I have the term right), but the trade dress of a good publisher is an asset.

Do you have think the banks and Saudis want $1B this year and $0 after when Twitter collapses, or $0 this year and $500M in future years?

Do you Elon wants the banks to foreclose and seize Twitter? Or have to sell TSLA?
Since you bring up the name change... didn't it sell better after the name change?

But of course my point was never about the burger. It was just that many aren't good with numbers and finance (in the edit with the links).
It is great to see a tie from a higher level application performance problem all the way down to a processor architecture issue (the L1 Cache). I was working at Intel when VTune first came into existence and it was such an awesome way to see how small code changes results in significant differences in actual execution. This was especially true when the Pentium Pro came out with the uOps architecture.

One of the many good reasons to have a real 'full stack' appreciation of the platforms we work on.

You mean the oppressive aristocracy? Calling them merely "political opponents" seems a little disingenuous
Urban planning in large parts of the USA isn't very conducive of this approach, since housing space tends to be quite segregated from office space.

I also can only assume that it plays a role in office real-estate costs too, just like it does on housing costs.
According to the wacko article you keep linking to maybe the term makes no sense, but I use that term because the article you seem to love so much uses it (with an incorrect understanding of the term, but still). Arguing by analogy, as you and the author of the linked article do multiple times, makes for a very weak foundation to base legal challenges on. So good luck with that, I look forward to reading about your victories in court based on proving that intellectual property equals slavery, and that no one can own IP, and so on. Get your analogies about dry water and intellectual slavery sharpened so you can teach those judges a thing or two.

You can use the TTY emacs over SSH (or MOSH) without TRAMP. It only transmits the terminal display so it’s fast regardless of third-party extensions. VS Code remote is actually a negative for me, as it needs fast, stable connections and consumes a lot of RAM on the remote machine.

Maybe “decides” was a bad choice of words. More like, if its optimization goal turns out to be bad long-term, that could be problematic. For example, optimizing for time spent conversing could lead it to become unnecessarily dramatic to keep your attention. Optimizing for something like long-term conversation partner well-being is much harder, I think, so won’t be in early versions.

Fortunately most of the worst examples the anti-net neutrality crowd used never made sense from both a business model and technology perspective.

Trying to turn the internet into tiered internet packages like early 2000s cable companies offered would be a disaster even without neutrality laws. There's probably a reason the only real-life example in history that Wikipedia lists was some bottom-of-the-barrel Portuguese mobile network that experimented with a discount plan that never took off.

The lobbyists either bought into the bullshit benefits like everyone else or more likely were just taking the default anti-gov interference position.

The internet is so far from ever being the extremely limited centralized platforms that cable offerings were that the analogies never made sense if you spent any amount of time considering them.
