Thank you for the explanation, my mind initially went to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Internet,_nobody_knows_...
There's a class of bad leader/manager/executive/person-in-charge who has mastered the ability to generally not do or say anything on the record that would be a red flag, but leaves a wake of orange and yellow flags behind them. I didn't really understand that until I'd worked for one.

People make mistakes and have personality differences, so one person's yellow flag is another's business-as-usual. IMO it's only fair to set aside some of those lesser warning signs, but when someone continuously accumulates a significant number of them, my experience is that it's equivalent to a giant red flag.

That having been said, a new person-in-charge jumping in immediately and ordering a bunch of significant changes without taking the time to understand the environment is generally a giant red flag on its own. There are a few exceptions, of course, like if lives are in danger.
Which is something that sounds fine but, IMHO, practically speaking it's not really going to work. Most of the time you're going to end up having to page for the systems your team doesn't own for any non-trivial issue.
As a fullstack dev, focused on ios dev for the past 10 years, i'd say swift for anything other than ios/macos dev is pretty much experimental.

The community tries to expand swift's horizon with all its heart, but as long as apple is the main force behind the language there's going to be no real incentive for it to become a serious contender on other platforms.

I'd recommend go, if it's a serious project you plan to maintain for years.
No multi-user support --- it was a non-starter.

I'm much happier w/ Quartz (née Display PDF) than the typical image model division which BeOS had.

That said, I really wish someone would get it (and Tron) running on a Raspberry Pi.
I think the author is coming at this with a focus on the crypto scene, where it really is deeply rooted in distrust, but I see the value of decentralization in the Mastodon/ActivityPub more as one of a desire for more variation and competition than the centralized model allows. Trust is part of the deal, and Mastodon is a bit biased towards people with a particular fixation on moderation practices and casting out bad-actors to the exclusion of a lot other things.

But for old heads, I think the real goal is for something more like the blogosphere or usenet groups or forum cultures where it wasn't about lack of trust but the ecosystem felt more dynamic because there were simply a lot of people just kind of doing their own thing in different ways. It iterated better, and it iterated in ways that were more centered on the content creators and consumers instead of a platform clearinghouse.
> Go always had generics

That's not what people understand when you say a language "has" generics though.
> Tornado Cash was re-designated recently, a capitulation that the arguments from the Coin Center lawsuit have merit

You're misreading an administrative action. The re-designation broadens Tornado Cash's alleged support for "North Korean hackers to the allegation that it supported the North Korean regime more generally" [1]. (Also, this entire discussion is a red herring.)

Is rent-a-tribe for payday lending actually legal? It seems like courts have said the tribe needs to have some ownership and involvement in the day to day operations for immunity to apply.
There's also:

Toyota Premio (prize)
Suzuki Alto (tall)
Mazda Laputa (well, yeah, it's an island, but if you read it quickly it sounds like "the wh\*re")
Lamborghini Reventón (It's the name for a bull, but it means puncture or tire blowout)

AFAIK, the Laputa being a Kei Car hasn't been sold out of Japan, and the equivalent to the Premio has been the Avensis. I've seen Altos, and not much Lamborghinis :D
I wish I had your patience, but I just don't. I find the entire process so insulting to my time and intelligence that I refuse to participate, especially after spending 6 hours -- 6! -- buying a specific EV in the Bay Area.

I also find the personalities of used car salesmen to be so grating that I'd rather do it all over email.
I first heard about this on Radiolab. Maybe you heard it there too?

>> In 2004, when casualties in Iraq were rising due to roadside bombs, Ross McNutt and his team came up with an idea. With a small plane and a 44 mega-pixel camera, they figured out how to watch an entire city all at once, all day long. Whenever a bomb detonated, they could zoom onto that spot and then, because this eye in the sky had been there all along, they could scroll back in time and see - literally see - who planted it.

Wasn't that true of the Bugatti Veyron and Chiron too? That at its max speed of 400kph the tyres would last 15 minutes but it doesn't matter because the fuel only lasts 5, or something like that.
So it is technically impossible with Microsoft’s software?

Surely Microsoft has the resources to coordinate hardware and software with Dell/HP/Lenovo on making at least 1 reliable line of laptops where you can close the lid and reliably expect it to instantly sleep and not randomly wake up.
Yes Musk's track record is one factor, but mostly it's my personal experience seeing how poorly targeted Twitter's ads are. For example:

1. When I go on vacation I see ads in a language I don't understand

2. When I sign up for a service like Disney Plus I still see ads for that service

3. When I sign into a real estate website and mark some houses as 'favourite', that website doesn't show me ads on Twitter for similar houses

4. When I put an item in an online shopping cart and leave it there for a few days, I don't see any Twitter ads suggesting I complete the purchase

5. I live in an inner-city area, but for some reason Twitter shows me ads for combine harvesters and Starlink
I've noticed this observation can be used in a useful memory hack. If you need to pick something up at the store (say, toothpaste), visualize toothpaste as if you're in that aisle. Next time you are in the store passing that aisle, the prompt tends to come up. It's worked without fail for me several times.
People are acting towards him like that exactly because they praised him before and were holding him at high esteem. I certainly did. Now he started to disappoint people, multiple times.

Nobody cares (much) about CEO of Comcast, or BP, or Electronic Arts. They have bad reputation and when they do something bad again, people just shrug and move on. While people with good reputation doing same things are discussed a lot.

Also note that Comcast, BP, EA etc. are all successful businesses. They just shitty to humans, but successful. So founding a big successful technology company is a big achievement, but not a unique one.
Migrate from S3 Easily with the R2 Super Slurper
This doesn’t work because they just go back and change the price to the original higher MSRP.

What you have to do is agree to financing (with no prepayment penalties) in exchange for a discount, and then, before you get the first bill you pay the car off in full.
Commercial repair shops caught snooping on customer data by Canadian researchers
It feels a bit cherry-picked... and I counted $500k of examples listed. The more I read of the rant, the more I felt that the author is trying to manipulate me.

> Unfortunately, the lab experiment went horribly wrong, killing the poor creatures before the research could be concluded

Feels like there must be more to the story... and was a million dollars spent on this? Or more like $5000? Again, feels like they're trying too hard to incite outrage. (Perhaps that's the way on Twitter)
> SEC regulates the entire US banking industry

It pointedly does not.
But your time is exchangable for money. (Something almost never reflected in hobby behavior: that's why the crafts store has 130 kinds of acrylic yarn and 1 kind of wool yarn.)

A $150 scale is expensive but buys a very small amount of software development.

Either women are giving birth with metronomic precision and cooperation, or the regularity is a coding simplification. It would be fun to randomize the increments to give the illusion of a God's Eye view of humanity.
I think you're misunderstanding what this is. They only use it to target ads in their store, they still need to actually sell you stuff or they get nothing. You may be thinking of what Microsoft does, getting paid to put ads in their products like Windows, but Apple isn't doing that. If they do, I'll worry about it then.
True that. I would say further that, these 'woke' activists who attack women like Kathleen Stock are precipitating the end of their movement.

People not well-versed in the ins and outs of gender critical feminism versus trans privileges activism just look at all these masked and balaclavaed males making a huge scene, shouting abuse and threatening violence, and just see a gang of men bullying women who speak up.

That these males have bespoke gender identities that apparently make them all marginalized and vulnerable doesn't really register when they're spitting in women's faces and calling them cunts.
It really depends on where they work at Amazon. The reason Amazon is the second largest employer is presumably because of the tens of thousands of warehouse/delivery employees. If they are working in a corporate setting, and there is still 10 levels of management between them and the CEO, I imagine it to be pretty bloated.
When you have a net worth of $26B as he did a month ago, even if it was mostly paper gains on shitcoins, you manage to get some of the money out of the system and hide it away. Even if FTX is bankrupt and his current paper net worth is $0 or negative, he almost certainly has $100M or so squirreled away in multiple accounts in multiple countries with lacking regulations, in the name of a shell companies that can't be tied to him.
I've been reading a lot about POTS for which 90% of sufferers are women. The sheer volume of people venting about not getting adequate consideration or treatment is really sad. It got to the point where the community has listings of doctors that are confirmed to understand the condition and take it seriously which is ass backwards considering most people go to the doctor because they have no idea what's wrong with them!

Its sad to think that your friend is "lucky" relative to some to have developed the skills to interpret medical literature and advocate for herself. So many people, and women in particular, seem to get told they are faking it or that their symptoms are psychosomatic and they don't even have the tools, time, or money to advance their own treatment.
It's a donation, not an investment. There is no obligation on Wikimedia's part to do specific actions on your behalf.

You can expect money to be used in some ways, sure, but it's not like WM uses 50% of your donation on vanity projects.

Personally, I wish WM would invest more in the quality of non-English articles. French "toponymie" sections tend to be brigaded for whatever reasons for instance. French linguists wage wars apparently.
So I am interested in jumping into the fediverse but don't really know how to start. Does anyone have an easy to understand guide to starting or point to resources that are good how tos.
>I think its popularity stemmed from its energy efficiency rather than elegance…

Specifically, Thumb and Thumb2 density was excellent, and remained unbeaten until quite recently (2022, RISC-V B+Zc).

But then aarch64 did, to everyone's surprise, ditch variable instruction size, and with it lost its code density advantage.

You should do some self reflection on why you felt the need to make a comment just to make yourself look smart.
Bought two cars, brand new. Never again. Dealers are abusive, scammy and inconsiderate. It’s such an arduous process that I dread the next car purchase coming up for my wife in next two years.
I’m continually baffled by the woke idea that equality means lowering standards, rather than raising expectations and performance.
It's pretty insane to me that you think the NYT would ever deliberately print accusations they couldn't prove.

I also think you're massively overstating the role of the NY Times, yes they have resources but they have to cover massive breadth. The NY Times isn't really going to be an expert in every topic, and there are real expert reporters out there who are going to dig in to this for specialist information. In this case there are reporters covering tech and finance - so you're going to see good articles from Levine, and the Odd Lots people, Michael Lewis was literally shadowing SBF for 6 months. Arguably the Odd Lots guys got to this first - basically getting SBF to admit he was running a ponzi in an interview - an admission that made absolutely no difference because everyone kind of knew it was all a scam anyway. If you said to me there's an article about FTX I would be looking for it in Bloomberg or the FT, not the NYT.
Nokia also introduced an actual spring-loaded model already in 1999: the 7110, which also, incidentally, was the first mobile phone to include a WAP browser.
“Available to average people” that’s what amazes me. I remember when I played with an iPhone for the first time. It was an amazing device, but I thought it was a luxury device for rich people only. A few years later smartphones got a lot cooler and cheaper, to the point where it actually helped spread the internet to sections of the population that weren’t able or didn’t want to use a PC.
Yeah, it can be hard to identify. Anxiety can take on a life of its own.

One of the first things my therapist introduced me to was called the ARC model of emotion, which stands for Antecedent (whatever is happening just before you experience an emotion), Response (how you feel and what you do) and Consequence (the results of your response).

Basically, by taking note of what is happening when you are anxious, you can start to identify what is triggering the anxiety. Simply identifying the source of your anxiety goes a long way toward reducing its hold on you.

Weird, I have Ublock
They haven’t lost 16b though.

Unclear if we have accurate info from Sam but the situation is more like 9b in liabilities with 70% of that in liquid and illiquid assets. People getting back that much is highly optimistic but the 16b doesn’t seem accurate at all. FTX already paid users out $5b btw
There isn't, but a partial list could be assembled.

Most human interactions are context-triggered and heavily scripted.

This is easy to see on social media where responses to a popular trigger post fall into groups. A lot of people make one of a small number of generic expected responses, and there's an even smaller number of funny/off-beat posts - which all make the same joke.

Occasionally you get a truly original inventive reply. But only very rarely.

I have a vague memory of a fringe AI startup which has been trying to formalise that contextual database since the 90s.

C# with ASP.NET Core has been pretty great in my experience; it has both reasonable language syntax without that many footguns and reliable performance
If you're not federated with them your instance is going to be a ghost town. I think it'll be hard to run an independent instance with enough activity on its own to be worth joining unless you have some external source of community/fandom to keep fresh streams of users coming in to manage churn. The largest community Discords, for example, tend to be around YouTubers, streamers, podcasters, etc. where they build the community around their content and fanbase. This was also the way the big PHP forums used to go.
Knowledge acquisition is not neutral per se. Wikipedia's goal is to be a peer-to-peer encyclopedia. It's not, and never will be perfect.

The best thing you and I can do, instead or beyond donating, is to read Wikipedia and point out places with issues, if not become editors outright.

I doubt it's really baking itself; most devices have a lower temperature target set in the software/firmware so that the user doesn't burn their lap, but the default thermal management behavior is done completely on-die.

So the site invite only? It looks interesting, but I’m not sure I know anyone on it or am interested in bumming around for an invite from a stranger. I guess that’s part of the charm.
iOS Safari does have a "Page zoom" setting that can be set per-site or as default in its settings, which is really mainly increasing the font size. It's probably not exactly as you like in Chrome.
Just to explain as someone that was initially a fan of Musk but now highly critical of him:

SpaceX owes a great deal of it's success to the people around Elon, particularly Shotwell, minimizing his bad behaviors. Compare this to Tesla and now Twitter, where Elon has unilateral power. At the first he managed to get in trouble with the SEC in the dumbest way possible, as well as continues the Fully Self Driving saga that many of us regard as fraud, the solar tiles debacle, etc. At the latter he's treating employees in an utterly reprehensible and illegal way. He's currently under investigation for similar behaviors at Tesla but involving far fewer employees.

The left hates Elon more for his union busting and abusive labor practices than bad jokes, but bad jokes certainly don't help Elon any when it comes to PR.

I can give Elon credit for advancing the timelines of both EVs and solar power, and applaud SpaceX for their innovation, while also being highly critical of Elon's general behavior and treatment of the people who work for them.

Put more bluntly: I AM judging Elon on the basis of his actions. Your position is actually that SpaceX is so cool it forgives all wrongs.
Is there any evidence of tracking data being used this way, any prosecutions of criminals based on it?
Another example is Ford Kuga - "kuga" means "plague" in slovenian.

You can probably make a washing machine spin so fast that it'll pretty much dry the clothes out of the washer. Spinning a drum that fast would probably be a good lawsuit if anyone gets hurt though.
Nope, it's power management. It's not implemented yet, so the laptop doesn't sleep and doesn't even throttle. "In the future" it should work though.

This is a great summary of what I've read so far. I haven't read any of Levine's coverage but this is certainly a better breakdown than the NYT piece.
Studies find automatic braking can cut crashes over 40%
I've sort of come around on this after discussing with a number of search and rescue folks. I'm sure there's some number of "I'm cold and my jeans are soaked. Come get me." There's doubtless some of that but, as you say, that's counterbalanced by by people who have a legitimate issue who can make an emergency call before the problem is really serious.

Part of me doesn't love that there's an increasing expectation that you're always able to be in contact. But, so it goes.
Just want to point out that "neutral" doesn't always mean apolitical, even though it may be convenient to think so. Hypothetically, if in a two party system there is a "burn and ban the books" party, and a "let's really not burn the books" party, the moral obligation of a neutral purveyor of knowledge is to do everything in its power to stop the "burn the books" club. How Wikipedia is interpreting that can be questioned, but not the fact that it should try to further the cause for its existence.
In that case, by "free will" they mean "the feeling of free will".

In which case it's completely besides the point, since the original argument is about how can free will arise from deterministic/random universe. If the rebuttal is "well I feel like I have free will" there is nothing anyone can do to refute that, since the feeling is real, to them.

But that doesn't mean free will itself is real. He's not really choosing to decline dessert just for the sake of it - he has a motivation behind it: losing weight. Now, one could say "well I could decline dessert just for the sake of it" to prove a point, but then "proving a point" would be the motivation for declining dessert. There's just no way out.

Free will is a fundamentally ill-defined concept, just like consciousness. We all "feel" it, but nobody can put it into words precisely enough to enable any kind of rigorous discussion.
PHP is stupid simple to deploy for custom apps. I agree serverless / managed is simpler.
You don’t need it until you do.
The scope of the original order was quite broad. While Treasury asserts Tornado Cash has been used by North Koreans, they have now narrowed what they are banning to interacting with the sanctioned smart contract addresses by US persons and entities.

The interesting argument at play is if they even have the authority to do that. Encrypted communications are also used by North Koreans, but we do not ban that for US people because, 1) it's math, and 2) there are valid reasons for privacy even if it assists North Korea.

It is an open question for the courts if this is within the authority of Treasury to ban interacting with self-executing smart contracts.
There's a control aspect, but I think the labels are just standard totalitarianism. That maybe 30%~40% of the population (hopefully not more) don't have a spine & just conform to anything in the hopes of social reward. So labelling is just a way to say "I'm not a bad person" when in fact the people who just blindly conform end up solidifying the worst trends in society. It's scapegoating.
Sounds very similar to the guy talked about in Albert-László Barabási's book (either Bursts, or Linked ... don't recall which atm) - he was photoing/videoing his whole life, but never of himself - ie, the camera was always facing outward (like a policeman's bodycam)

?? Firefox has an API for a Sidebar and yet they make it such a pain to actually switch to one.

> > > A 2021 study by the Muslim Council of Britain's Centre for Media Monitoring that looked at media coverage of Muslims and Islam in 34 publications found that The Spectator had the highest percentage of articles judged "antagonistic" to Muslims

> These are facts, not opinions.

Who is doing the judging of how antagonistic an article is, in the Muslim Council of Britain's Centre for Media Monitoring? People with opinions.

It's subjective, and again, given the source, almost certainly biased against the Spectator's political stances.
Self flagellation over false guilt (at best) hints at emotional immaturity, and at worst, deep rooted mental instability.

Having someone like that in charge of "diversity" initiatives is like having Fat Albert run a campaign for health and fitness.
The United States and Canada are really, really big. There are big swaths of those countries (especially Canada) where people regularly live / drive / recreate, but are several hours driving away from cell phone service.
