Universal basic income is not the answer for obvious inflationary reasons. The solution is universal basic services. Anyone who finds themselves homeless should be given access to the following to allow them to survive in a dignified way and help them move to a self sufficient life if they choose:

- A shipping container home on a dedicated facility with access to electricity, heating, water and the internet.

- Mental health counselling on site.

- Fitness facilities on site using cheap but effective equipment such as sandbags, sand kettlebells and weighted rucksacks. Fitness classes and organised rucks should be scheduled throughout the day for anyone to join if they wish.

- Basic generic clothing if needed plus one generic formal outfit if needed for job interviews.

- A free educational course.

- A laptop, for educational courses and for basic entertainment.

- A mobile phone.

- A 50cc moped or electric bicycle to allow wider access to job opportunities.

- Basic food: a Soylent like shake for breakfast, a plant based lunch and communal dinners.

- A free bank account and debit card with no overdraft available.

Throwing money at the problem is not going to fix it. In order to help these people rebuild financially, we need to help them heal mentally and physically then give them both the skills and means (transport, clothes) they need to find employment. They need to be allowed to heal and move at their own pace. You can try to nudge them in the right direction but ultimately it is their choice. If some of them just want to see out the rest of their days at the facility you have to be ok with that. I believe the majority will want to heal, gain skills, find employment, save up and transition back into the economy.
Incorrect. Library features like the fallible allocation API are available to all editions, for better or worse - it also means you can't make breaking changes to the standard library ever, not even with a new edition.

Seriously. The only problem the FBI’s owners have with TikTok is that they can’t police the content
Other central banks are other central banks. Their monetary policy does not affect Japan in the same ways the actions of the BoJ do.

Weakening currency is (indirectly) more or less the point. Lack of monetary expansion may very well not be the only reason for their economic stagnation, but it was a hindrance, so this turn is overall very good news; there's certainly a possibility they'll overdo it, but that remains to be seen.
> That doesn't make it okay for China to run psy-ops against us

Downloading and using TikTok is a personal choice and you’ve allowed it by doing so as an individual. I don’t think we should ban individual apps from other countries. If we want that, we need some larger more thoughtful policy. But to do so effectively, we essentially need to put up a firewall and ban the sharing of domestically collected data as well (amongst other things, like enforcing these bans.)

PSY-ops as mentioned sounds negative but I’d argue it’s what TikTok and social media consumers enjoy the most.

What about Russian social media (I think vk got sanctioned but not livejournal)? What about, given the other thread, Qatar? Should Orkut (Brazilian) have been allowed?

My point is that the rules should target what it does rather than simply "China=Bad", since that offers a way back into compliance with the rules. However unlikely that actually is.
I believe the culprit is the assumption the grants/tenure-track systems make about applicants/assistant professors. That assumption is negative, as if new hires will try _not to do research_. It's also about the number of grad school offerings, it just seems so huge at the moment, which again forces introducing such metrics on what is considered "success" in academia.
> I'd say I'm a heavy drinker. But even I can see that forgoing alcohol in a foreign country is as obvious as me stopping smoking weed when I get home from Amsterdam.

Not really the same as Qatar pulled the rug on the alcohol ban 2 days before the event starts...

Don't think there's a good analogy for that, even if you had planned a trip to Amsterdam years in advance for some big event and they completely banned weed 2 days before said event wouldn't be the same, the expectations around alcohol and weed are quite different for the intended audience of said event.

Briefest of case studies: Anyone whose watched the rapid growth of antisemitic propaganda and disinformation since the 2016 election may note 4chan/pol/ took the lead in dissemination of stereotypes and tropes intended to influence user thinking. Because there was widespread distrust of other media sources, and b/c /pol/ appealed to younger audiences, and b/c /pol/ developed a reputation for aggregating breaking news (often untrue but thrilling), its audience grew dramatically, to over 11m unique visitors per month. Fast forward to today and Kanye, Irving and others repeat and show /pol/ meme's as their "proof" of antisemetic conspiracies. Antisemetic propaganda has gone mainstream to the point the Jewish community is viewed by one of favorite comedians on SNL as a cabal suppressing AA aspirations, when the opposite has been true since the civil rights movement and the two are actually more in alignment on issues than apart. Tearing groups apart is geopolitics 101 and the US is losing this battle.

Now multiply that by 50m daily users fed disinformation on whatever topic roils you and you have an idea of the scale of threat posed by TikTok.

It also has modern features that appear safe at first glance, but are dangerous:

std::string_view make_view(const std::string& in)

}

Is an absolute minefield, as is:

std::vector<int> vec = {1, 2};
std::span<int> sp = vec;
vec.push-back(3);

These are using safe, modern C++ techniques that are designed to help catch errors, but are still absolutely lethal.

But, for example, in the US something like 70%+ of the total Federal budget is already spent on programs for the poor (Medicaid, EITC, SNAP, school lunches), the elderly/retired/disabled (Social Security, Medicare, government pensions) and debt service.

Unless UBI proposes to take funding away from those who are already poor or already retired then where exactly is the money coming from?

It's not weak as such, but there are gotchas in this faq (mostly related to metadata and key file caching) that effectively mean a casual user won't have end to end encryption. That said, I do not know of a cloud provider that does this well. You could just as easily build on top of this service with rclone (and the crypt backend) as any other. Then it is probably fine, but then you are already not a casual user.

I will say that in the west it is probably better to have your personal life invaded (which for a casual user is the reality you must face. It will happen) by China than the US (broadly your choices due to prism), as they are less likely to have an impact on your day-to-day functioning.

> I personally just got tired

Its true that a Synology NAS takes some effort to set up initially and a little bit of maintenance work every now and then. But I don't think about my NAS most months. And on the months I need to, it's usually a short task that I do along with other house chores.

> I did run into some scary security situations (once the DynDNS was set up, someone was immediately trying to log in via brute force)

Yes. Unfortunately, that's pretty common on the internet. You can auto-blacklist IPs after a few incorrect login attempts, and firewall-blacklist IPs out of your country in general. These two measures should almost eliminate the brute force spam, and you should be able to verify that they are effective in Log Center. However, you also have other options because you own the firewall if what I suggested doesn't make sense (like if you are traveling a lot).

> Although it feels silly to me to have a NAS at home and then still do regular backups via another storage/backup service elsewhere.

My backups are be automated with a Synology app (like Hyper Backup). It uploads only changed files. The cloud storage on Backblaze is pretty cheap - I think I pay under $2 per month. But this gives me peace of mind for the "NAS destroyed in a tornado or something" scenario. On the other hand, keeping files in a NAS gives me peace of mind that I own what I have - no cloud storage provider can take it away from me.

All in all, I'm happy you found something that works for you. I think you value simplicity and time more, and I value control over my data more. So our choices differ. In any case, I just wanted to offer context from a NAS user.

PDF was defined way back before Unicode was ever a thing. It is natively an 8-bit character-set format for text handling. The way it gets around this limit of only 256 characters available is because it also allows defining custom byte to character glyph mappings (think both ASCII and EBCDIC encoding in different parts of the same document). To typeset a glyph that is not in the current in use 256 character sub-set mapping you switch to a different custom byte value to character glyph mapping to typeset that other character.
Why is this racism?

Is this racism because China is mostly made up of one race? Then, we should ask why that is the case. (E.g. https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/06/30/chinese-communist-party...)

Is China more generous here?

It is funny that any valid criticism of China is fought with claims of racism.

Yes, but there is no rush to migrate to the new edition - once stabilised the new features will continue to exist in nightly, in the same form as in stable.

And yes, presumably at some stage there will be a migration of the kernel from nightly to stable. There may be breaking changes. This will be a one time thing, and, (based on the current difference between nightly and stable and rate of change) not much more of a hurdle than changing C editions or gcc versions.

I don’t think it’s the free money driving inflation, right? It’s impossible to know for sure, but I’d say it’s not likely the driving force is the weak yen. Which is caused by having 0% interest rates in a world where US interest rates are no longer also zero.

Being outraged on a bait-and-switch of expectations around what is the ritual of watching a football match changes their expected experience.

I'm no fan of football but I can understand that for most this is part of the ritual, having that changed without prior notice just 2 days away from the event does upset some people. I don't think taking the literal "you paid to watch football matches" really helps you to understand the outrage, there's a dependency on alcohol, yes, there was also an expectation that was broken.

"A compression utility that excels at compressing large files (usually > 10-50 MB). Larger files and/or more free RAM means that the utility will be able to more effectively compress your files (ie: faster / smaller size), especially if the filesize(s) exceed 100 MB. You can either choose to optimise for speed (fast compression / decompression) or size, but not both."

Huh, I was under the impression that the Q chipsets were the ones that officially supported this.

I have a few ivybridge era chipset boards (B75, Z77) some of which actually don't officially support this feature but the motherboard manufacturers enabled it in bios anyway and it works. The sandybridge era was much messier for this feature.

It is very irritating Intel tried to gate this behind chipsets since I believe it is 100% handled by the processor.

As with javascript a lot of PHP's problems are not inherent to the language but rather to the culture around it. It must be avoided for that reason, but it is hard to state that in full every time. So folks use the shorthand you see.
Yeah, I never understood why I had to buy 24 bottles of something to figure out if I liked it or not. Now I can go to the grocery store and make my own six pack with six different things to try.

The down side of this is that there's a limit to how much alcohol you can purchase from a grocery store at once. If you want to purchase more than 16 (12 oz) bottles of beer you must do so in two transactions. This can't be two transactions in a row, so you have to physically carry your alcohol out of the store, leave it outside (or in your car), come back in, and buy the rest.
I would make it as a free trade argument.

The article very much looks like it's machine translated from Russian because some phrases are weird in English but make perfect sense if you translate them back. Also some screenshots are in Russian.
So, being on par (on even a tad ahead) of the biggest competitor in the current gen, and being ahead of the competition in the next gen, is bad? Sounds fairly good to me, especially when you have trucks, ICE and EV, and ICE cars that provide a lot of cash to finance all of that development.

The second pipe is also what represents real value. Sellers buy ad space to find buyers (if they can't, the ad sale business isn't sustainable). Seller values what they sell at less than what the buyer pays (on average), and vice versa for the buyer. Both are better off, value is created.

What we have in crypto is as if somebody invented the Internet, and the only thing anybody used it for was to trade stock in Internet companies. Not companies in general, which would at least provide an external source of value, but only Internet companies in an overgrowing ouroboros of speculation upon itself.

The flaw in all of this is that people who buy crypto are not investing in something so its entirely pointless whether there is something that generates revenue.

If you buy crypto you trade 2 assets like USD > BTC
Its the same as if you buy baseball cards USD > baseball card

You bet on the value of one asset to increase over the other. The correct term for this is speculation [1] not investment [2].

Speculation doesn't require anyone to do any "work" (as in produce goods or services). Speculation required that there is or will be an imbalance in the supply and demand of the involved assets which can happen for infinite other reason that someone creating revenue while somehow being associated with that asset.
