> Your trick is ignoring the stronger argument which is it's very likely that a trans woman will get pregnant after a uterus transplant at some point during our lifetime.

Harvesting the uterus of a woman and hosting it inside a man does not make him a member of a female sex.

Even if a womb was lab-grown somehow, rather than poached, it's highly unlikely his body would be compatible with pregnancy. And there would be massive ethical concerns in performing this experiment, given that this is an attempt to artificially create and grow a new human life in a body fundamentally unsuited to this task.
Yep, Wirecard is another such example where a huge accounting firm E&Y didn't even have any reputation damage worth mentioning. As you say it's a failure in our incentives.
True, I think every few years or so we need to sit down and write down our "odyssey plan" based on Stanford Life Design course.

Since the world is liquid and constantly in movement, our interests and values will change as well which is ok.

I guess when you start feeling that whatever you are doing is `iffy`, its time to sit down and think.
It's pretty common among middle or upper-middle class software engineers, at least based on the number of my coworkers who employ such services. Biweekly cleaning and gardening might run you $100 a week, or significantly less if you can cut out the middleman by hiring a cleaner directly instead of going through an agency (they can charge $40+ an hour and often pay their illegal immigrant employees under $15).
France can be criticised in many respects but they do produce a lot of good tech. Just not so much in the frontend digital consumer sphere.

I wish my country was as good at spying and could steal the TGV designs ;)
750 is the narrow role in the US military, for strictly air superiority fighter. They want like 2500 F-35 eventually.
The typical reason why the price is whatever people are able or willing to pay for an item, is a lack of competition.
Funny that you mention pink noise. After reading the headline alone, I wondered if pink noise had been considered. I find sometimes brown noise works well, and sometimes pink noise works well, depending on mood. White noise is almost always too harsh for me.

I also use an app called Chroma Doze from F-Droid, which can generate different spectrum noise. My only gripe with it is there's no "presets", or no way to export/import presents.
A phenomena I noticed is a lot of young hard working types came in from Europe to work / set up businesses here. On the whole they rented not really being settled here and the Brits who tend to own property made a fair bit of money without working through property income and appreciation. Now thanks to Brexit the young hard working Europeans have partly gone, while the older Brits who were used to not really having to work are not really taking up the slack. I'm not quite sure where it all ends up.
this particular medieval unit comes from irrigation

maybe a rice crop requires three feet of water from planting to harvest, and you normally only get three inches of rain during that time, so you need 2.75 acre-feet of irrigation water per acre of rice
They don't mention Nio, which is interesting because of its bet on battery swapping.

For a lot of fleet owners, being able to swap a battery in less than ten minutes rather than charge it in 30 or 50 minutes is attractive. Less time off the road.

For me as a potential private owner, making the battery into someone else's problem is attractive too.

That’s not a “solution”. You never own the land and investment companies are buying up the land and jacjpmb up rent.
It's true that it's not an actual scam, but I do agree with the use of the strong language in calling it a "scam". Journalists are supposed to report things objectively.

Instead of giving a balanced perspective, the fall into the trap of portraying individuals as heroic geniuses or villainous morons (presumably because it sells better). If they're not going to be objective then they kinda deserve to be called out.
Not ubiquitous, it failed in the recent California ballot proposition.
I love how people take a throwaway line that's practically an afterthought and discard the bits about their 300+ years of experience doing exactly this.

Those bits are well documented and you can go read about them with a cursory google search.

But no, my reasoning is WiLd AnD cRaZy.

I would say that given France's history, you would have to show me that Parrot _hasn't_ benefited from some level of industrial espionage.
Hey Adam, I still remember sitting in a cafe with you after Xobni when you were contemplating what to do next and Kite was a just a gleam in your eye. Sorry to hear this one didn't pan out, and all the best going forward!
I mean crypto always faces systemic risks.

Anyone who isn't planning for the possibility of crypto to visit near zero (before going back up, either in these chains or on new chains) is not being careful enough.

In the short run it could go down another >99%, or back up 20x. Who knows.

That doesn't matter because in the long run: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wt465BEXRkE

Scala 3 is not production ready
People have been steadily losing trust in the media for years. All it had to take was a few responsible people to do some probing and realize that it's all a scam. The issue is that there's money to be made in promoting crypto, and therein lies the problem.

There's no way anyone can say they didn't see it coming. There's a whole subreddit dedicated to making fun of crypto and a website has existed for years now that archives every grift https://web3isgoinggreat.com/. So, yeah, I think the media is just fundamentally flawed and I'm not sure what the answer is.
There's even the same in Swift (just the library as in Go):

That sounds even closer to home in that case!
You're not considering the scale.

We have faster iteration than upstream distros.
More flexible.
More tuned.
I won't give exact details but 1% CPU gives extremely significant monetary savings, and there are at least 15% savings from static linking, PGO, LTO, more appropriate `-march`, more appropriate CPU security sharing considerations, ...

Billions of dollars per year, in essentially electricity and required systems savings
(considering the scale of serving 3 billion users a day).

Also devs get access to the latest compilers, language levels, and libs, completely independent of distros, who have a more general compat issue to contend with. Considering there are about 30k tech in Meta this value also multiplys up.
It’s not just concentrated at the top. The US is very, very wealthy by global standards even at lower percentiles.

The exact rank depends on how you measure, of course: according to Wikipedia, the US’s median income is first in the world; I found some other sources saying it’s fifth. At any rate, very high.
The mobile revolution seems like a major factor in a lot of this. People have this little portable device that seems oddly addictive in and of itself and the perfect gateway to wider worlds of pointless addiction.

It's like mobile devices are digital cigarettes.
This is such a garbage generalization. I know plenty of people in the industry that are pro-Union, pro-DEI and think the Calacanis/Elon death-march nonsense is BS. Find better friends.

Send the physical letter with a registered post so that you can prove they received it.
Sports betting leads to all sorts of crime outside the casinos involving innocent people. Bribes, fixed games, injuring athletes, and doping have more incentives to happen with less scrupulous actors. It’s not hard to imagine a college athlete getting more than his entire scholarship to throw one game.

I would have actually voted for the Indian gaming ballot initiative if it didn’t include sports betting this year. I’d just like to keep the social problems of gambling confined to people who actually go to casinos (and their families too, of course, but criminalizing is probably worse).
Nice! I wouldn't have guessed one could fit a VAXstation into that short-depth of a 1U.

How do you cool it? (I normally see that Supermicro chassis model used for Atom boards designed to run fanless.)
"But what about Israel" is literally whataboutism.
Funny to see Kiesel mentioned here. I have two, plus a mid 90s Carvin.
What I absorbed: housing shouldn't be an investment market, otherwise investors try to suck the money out of everyone. Whatever corner they try to hide.
sorry to see this happen, but there were early signs.

kite was that autocomplete solution that required you to have an account right? and they shipped your code to their servers? i remember trying it. some of us raised early concerns but our voice is not the loudest.

so again, the main problem is that kite was an intrusive solution for corporate networks. a developer needs to justify, through millions of layers, a solution like it. that it is safe to run it in a corporate environment.

why are you comparing yourselves to copilot? it's github!

not a single CISO will blink at trusting github, or microsoft, or google. a startup? it's not the kind of product that's helpful on a hobby project. the individual developer will pay where it makes sense. it makes sense in the corporate environment where there is tons of code to write.

so yeah, okay, that new terminal thing called warp. that autocomplete in the terminal called fig. you all ask people to create accounts and ship their data home? don't act surprised later.

Coming from the UK, I had never even driven an auto until I moved to Australia. It's more of a mix here, though most people can still drive manuals. Having been out of the UK for over a decade, I imagine things have changed back there by now.

I enjoy driving manuals, but I don't think it's worth being attached to. ICEs are a crude and inefficient technology, and are inevitably going to disappear outside of a few limited niches. Few electric cars are ever likely to have manual gearboxes.

As a more frequent motorcyclist than driver, I'm not going to miss riding behind stinky vehicles, diesel 4WD's in particular (not that I'm usually behind them for long).
Yeah I called BS when I read that line too. I pay for plenty of dev tools. Similar list to you.

* JetBrains (PyCharm professional, DataGrip, and Goland) ~$250/yr

* Lucidchart (Diagramming) ~100 /yr

* Paw (HTTP Client) ~$50 /yr

* Docker Pro ~$60 /yr

I think there's probably more, but I'm not at my work laptop to look, but those are the big ones. Those are only individual subscriptions. There's also huge costs when associated with things like Gitlab Premium ($20 - $100 /user/month), CI/CD, Code coverage tools, security scanners, etc. Companies pay A LOT for development tools.

If Kite thinks that the problem why no one will pay $9/mo for their service is because developers or their company's are cheap, they need to re-assess. The reason they couldn't sell their service is because it wasn't providing enough value to justify it. But companies are paying hundreds of dollars a month per developer in most cases for various tools. The extra $9 for Kite isn't the dealbreaker if there was enough value from it.

I feel really conflicted about this. If enfranchising a large group of people destroys the quality of government … is it a good idea?

To rephrase the question: “is democracy an end itself, and not just a means to better government?”
If your goal is lower prices in one specific area. You won't be able to live there because it will all be occupied, but the people who do will enjoy lower prices I guess.

But house prices don't exist in isolation. A denser area will have better, higher paying, more specialized jobs, more options for entertainment/lifestyle, better access to just about everything. So the higher prices are worth it.
Microsoft made by offline office program too slow to use when I updated to 11. It was a shakedown and I am not a happy customer.

It's also difficult to have a good working permalink to Matrix chats that don't throw a bunch of errors for people. Nowhere as seamless as Discord's invite links.

Ask for mercy if you want to do multiple channels invite-only. Need to upgrade rooms first. Then the space is out of sync for some clients, some permalinks to chats break. Maybe it'll work, just maybe.
On a related note, it's not quite forty years since the Pintupi Nine first directly encountered "the modern world":

> In 1984 a group of Australian Aboriginal people living a traditional nomadic life were encountered in the heart of the Gibson desert in Western Australia.

> They had been unaware of the arrival of Europeans on the continent, let alone cars - or even clothes.

> If you want to know how Australian Aboriginal peoples lived for 40,000 years, just ask Yukultji.

> She stepped into the 20th Century just 30 years ago.

this whole project has been amazing to watch develop. not only is this technically impressive, it seemed like it happened _so fast_. really talented people!
I think it would and should be possible to use products run by a foreign country if that country respects the rule of law and has decent oversight in place (both on paper and in practice). But the US with its National Security Letters and secret FISA courts is not that kind of country.

One forgotten fact about film manufacturing was that Kodak provided employment opportunities for people who were blind in their fully dark film plants.

Quassel does bring an experience very close to that though. Still IRC, but a bit more modern and nice.
Complete lack of any modern SEAD capabilities from russia has been a surprise.

They aren't flying Su-57 though, just like they are not using Armata. Very little additional capability and high risk of losing morale when inevitably they lose one.
There's no cabal keeping small creators small. Small creators need to make better content, i.e. provide value to their audience, and they will grow.

Making content isn't about sharing every little thought. It's about being consistent, finding a niche, and providing value. It's just like running a business.
Pointing out that a comment doesn't contribute to discussion doesn't contribute to discussion either. I'm definitely not contributing much by saying this.
I think it’s a combination of a few behaviors: Developers have this “if I can do it myself albeit in 10 times more time I won’t pay for the service even if it doesn’t make any financial sense whatsoever” and “This is cool but requires investment of my time while not providing way out of they start to suck or disappear” and “this is clever but what I need is help with the boring bits” mentality.

The stuff most developers are comfortable paying for is things like hosting, tools that do something the developers find very boring or have no domain overlap and don’t have viable free alternative.

“Why would I pay 9.99 if I can set up a free alternative in a few days and host it myself for 4.99? If I can’t host it myself I don’t trust you anyway”
Also, space can be 'modest' in size rather than 'tiny' and still be sustainable or amenable to high density.

And in most of the US, we can increase density massively without reducing size to “tiny” or even “small” sizes. The norm in the US is a single-family home (~70%, including townhomes). We could build a lot more large apartment/condo buildings. A lot more duplexes. Both are rare in most of the US. Apartments are almost exclusively targeted at younger, childless people and rarely more than 2 bedrooms.
The gaming industry seems to have been moving away from loot boxes recently. Overwatch and Call of Duty have both stopped using them (replaced with a battle pass subscription with fixed rewards).

TBH I think it's kind of a shame because I never had a problem with this sort of thing for cosmetic only rewards. It's fun to crack them open and see what you get and it doesn't give you any sort of advantage over other players because it's all cosmetic.

Mobile games where the lootboxes contain stuff you actually need to progress in the game (and often require you to spend hundreds or thousands to get to the upper tiers of power/content) are a whole different story but thankfully that doesn't seem to have corrupted the PC/Console gaming space yet.

Are there any big AAA PC/Console games that still use these mechanics? Fifa/Madden I'm assuming but I'm also out of the loop and haven't played a Fifa game since like 2018.
Transmen are women who want to be men. The fact that some can and have become pregnant is because they are women.
Xcellent point - and we need ways to sync the two but based in code. I am tempted to try and build something that uses module and line number and bags of the comment to build a unique reference for the ticket to point back to - but I wonder about code movement and have never done it

Until MS stops offering that and you're SOL, subscription model only going forward.
The official rtsp firmware is garbage and outdated and of course still phones home. For v3 I have been playing with https://github.com/gtxaspec/wz_mini_hacks which seems very promising since it allows ssh root access.
If anyone is in (or knows anyone in) agronomy, please fund/start studies on the viability of using bacillus subtilis, the bacteria behind natto, to ferment animal feeds, thus increasing the latent levels of vitamin K2 in their diets.

Notionally, this would lead to conventional livestock (and the people that consume them) receiving adequate levels of vitamin K2, which would likely lower incidents of osteoporosis, dental caries, and heart disease throughout the population at a marginal cost without altering any consumer patterns.

Secondarily, food scientists: please work on making natto-derived non-soy legume products fashionable amongst Westerners to directly increase their K2 consumption.

With the rise of legume consumption and high-protein bean pasta products, finding ways to use non-soy fermented legumes as a base would increase their nutrition substantially without the externalities associated with contained feedlot operations.

Also, if anyone is in (or knows anyone in) criminology or criminal justice reform, please advocate for continuous glucose monitors for LEOs and judges. Reactive hypoglycemia is positively correlated with aggression and punitive judgments. Time of day when court is held has a documented impact on severity of sentencing. This is almost certainly caused by varying degrees of reactive hypoglycemia.

Notionally, legislating that judges and LEOs formally monitor and regulate their blood sugar levels should lead to fewer incidents of systemic abuse of power.
"It preserves scroll back."

For limited definitions of 'preserves' if you aren't a paying user.

"It has a proper mobile app that reliably delivers notifications"

Not really, you can't tell who pinged you half the time (and this is a common complaint from most everyone in a discord server with 70+K members.)

"It has moderation tools."

Limited ones unless you get a bot to add in granularity (such as duration of moderation action.) I can think of a few HTTP chat sites from the late 90s that had better moderation for all users (and a reverse-ignore feature, which seems to have just disappeared from everyone's collective memory.)

"It has platform wide anti-spam."

Which more often than not takes my pictures of rocks and flags them as NSFW. Useless.

"It both embeds images and videos, and stores them."

This is about the one thing it does right.

I should note IRC had video chat functionality with pIRCh98.
That’ll be hard? sounds like evidence of absence ahead of it
This was a much better (and more accurate) description of my complaints about Matrix's permissions system. Thanks!
Shapiro was recently interviewed by Lex Fridman, and Fridman asked him about this interview specifically. He said he hadn't prepared properly as he was not aware of how "combative" the interview style would be vs. the kind of interviews he was used to thus his showing was poorer than usual.
It's a start - remember this developer has basically bootstrapped linux on Apple's custom hardware and this is the early stages of the latest area she's focussed on (getting the GPU working). This has been an impressive project, it'll no doubt continue.
Erm... it's called refactoring and TODO's. I go back and revamp all the time in my own codebases when it makes sense.
There is a lot of "could", "might", "reportedly", and "plausible" in this article. I.e. suppositions and assumptions. Nothing backed up.

Now, it's a standard practice in security to not discuss security issues and confidential info in a public space like a plane. I'd not be surprised the French goverment would bug the Concorde, but it does not imply at all the supposed extent, ruthlessness and far-reach that the OG poster implies.
Can you explain how "National Security Letters and secret FISA courts" violate US laws? If they don't violate US laws can you explain how they're examples of how the US doesn't' respect the rule of law? If you mean that the US doesn't respect the laws of other separate sovereign nations, isn't that how the system works?
