Yes, they knew that people would complain ahead of time and if they just plowed ahead that once the games started everyone would stop talking about it and get back to watching sports.

I know this because they, the international Olympic committee, the Qatari government, F1, and everyone involved with Liv Golf have said it about their respective events. They’re not being circumspect about this. And, because of this attitude, they’re right. At the end of the day, people want to watch sport and hope that Someone Else solves this problem for them.
Would an inquiry in March have prevented the FTX mess? Maybe. It would have been good to at least give it the chance.

But in the current situation, the headline reads like these 8 tried to stop an inquiry specifically into FTX after the collapse, which is totally not what happened.
What am I missing about IPFS?

It just seems like bittorrent, but worse.
>the advocacy of a small government is exactly _more_ situations like FTX.
Arguably not true. The presence of large government and pervasive regulation may behave like the bike helmet paradox (Where cyclists feel they are able to take more risk while wearing a helmet, and motorists drive more carefully around helmet-less riders). Smaller gov in this case may lead to individuals feeling less like the government has vetted xyz investment opportunity and therefore may feel a need to do their own due diligence more thoroughly.

> Take for example Dove Men+Care antiperspirant. In the US what is a rather compact can 3.8oz/107g was on the shelf at $9.55 (plus sales tax). I've just checked a well known UK chemist (boots) and 150ml of the same brand is £1.70 and 250ml is £2.00 (both including sales tax). Not really sure why the US measure aerosols in g and the UK measures them in ml but the price difference alone is jaw dropping.

First for the price info. I live in [state capital city] but we're not a big tourist destination and that can ranges between $4.09 and $10 locally. Prices can vary drastically based on the retailer and location in even a city.

For the actual difference in product, I'm fairly sure this is just a misunderstanding (and a reasonable one at that due to our crappy weight system).

The US version is listed at 3.8OZ "NET WT." not "FL. OZ", so the 3.8oz should be the weight of the actual deodorant inside, not the volume of it. Whereas the UK version being listed at 250ml I assume it is the volume.

I don't have a good estimate on the actual volume/weight difference of the two products though.

Maybe someone could grab a can from a US store and do the math on the actual volume of the container?
What’s the problem with ibuprofen?
> In their view, even Russia and Iran have more space for dissent

The Chinese people seem easier to dominate, from what I have seen at work atleast. They wont challenge anyone to strongly, who they perceive to have more power. Russian are the opposite, so how they ended up bowing to Putin is also a great paradox.
GCP like all Google services force you to use Google pay. I have 4 different payment options there, but they are suspending me until they verify my ID. This is a big problem in cloud services since being down for days or weeks or longer can destroy apps and their standings in the app stores.

In your comment you were begging one of the worlds most valuable companies to "allow you" to pay more for their already exaggeratedly expensive products, for the purpose of not seeing ads. And if that wasn't already submissive enough, you also voluntary become complicit in this ill-behaving industry by suggesting that ads are fine for the vast majority of people that could not or would not want to afford paying a premium on the already premium, for not seeing adds.

How to implement a basic ActivityPub server (2018)
I've had a few. Projects that were so vaguely specified we didn't know what to do. So we went to the manager, who didn't know either. And they took us to the salesman that actually sold the project, and he didn't know either. Then a call with the customer who didn't really know what they wanted. Finally an executive would tell us to just start building something so we had billable hours to charge.

Then at another company there were the bonus projects. Our annual bonuses depended on completing a project that was not part of our normal work - almost always the pet project of a manager in another department. Inevitably it'd be over halfway through the year before we got the first info about it, and by the time we got started, it had already been canceled or that manager had left the company and no one else knew anything about it. I never heard of anyone at that company getting a bonus project that wasn't DOA.

And this didn't happen to me, but one place I worked got a government contract. They had to hire someone officially approved, and a couple of us worked with him early on to discuss what he was going to be working on and how his project would interface with ours. Then, still pretty early on, the government agency paused his project. But it had already been funded and there was the contract, which said he couldn't work on any other projects. So he spent the rest of the year reading, playing games, and asking every now and then whether the project had been greenlit yet (it never was).

And another job, there was one guy I worked with, who despite being a fairly good developer and decent designer as well, routinely got tasked with typing in content that another department printed out and passed to our manager. That was one full day's work per week. We asked if they could give us access to their system so he could just copy and paste it over, but they said no. However, they let slip what their system was and when we looked at it, there was a public RSS feed of the content that they were printing out and handing over for him to retype into our system. It took less than one hour to setup something to process that feed in the background, import it to our system, and free up 20% of his time. That's hundreds of hours per year.

This stuff is very common everywhere.

There's nothing about sequencing by synthesis, how blocking nucleotides are added one after another, pictures of the fluorescent nucleotides on the flow cells are image analysed, etc.

> your favorite artists and photographers on Pixelfed

Pixelfed is more or less an Instagram clone ... which is like photo/video microblogging. Because the audience is largely 'casual' and encourage taking and consuming media from a smart phone it does some things with images that are antithetical to what a _good_ platform would be for artists. Instagram compresses the living hell out of images, it limits you to square and close-to-square dimensions, the color profile is stripped (I would assume you still can't even upload DCI-P3 photos from non-Apple platforms for whatever reason), and all license and metadata is stripped from the image. Most, if not all, of these issues have traveled to Pixelfed too. If it wasn't for the walled status and trying to gain 'casual' followers, I don't think artists would prefer the degradation of image options, quality, and metadata of Pixelfed/Instagram if they could be federated on a different, image-quality-focused platform. It's not without it's shortcomings, but Flickr better at this sort of thing and was talking of federation this week: https://twitter.com/DonMacAskill/status/1594945727255699457. Currently nothing in the Fediverse respects the media in the way a deviantArt, 500px, Flickr, et.al. type platform does.

Right, pawn shops are held to a higher standard. They have a relationship with the local police and are made to keep records. Amazon is a better fence than your average pawn shop.

The specifics are https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/29/825.220#

In particular:

(c) The Act's prohibition against interference prohibits an employer from discriminating or retaliating against an employee or prospective employee for having exercised or attempted to exercise FMLA rights. For example, if an employee on leave without pay would otherwise be entitled to full benefits (other than health benefits), the same benefits would be required to be provided to an employee on unpaid FMLA leave. By the same token, employers cannot use the taking of FMLA leave as a negative factor in employment actions, such as hiring, promotions or disciplinary actions; nor can FMLA leave be counted under no fault attendance policies. See § 825.215.

I'll also point to things like Employer Makes $1.3 Million FMLA Mistake by Firing Worker After Mexico Trip that demonstrate the "be careful when dealing with discipline of people who are on FMLA and check with a lawyer first." https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/legal-and-compliance/...

To be honest, when the revelations about Kipman came out, I was not quite surprised. On stage he was always a bit unsettling - I’m not sure if it was the hair style, manner of speaking, or the giant eyeball T-shirt (he actually has photos of himself in at least three different eyeball T-shirts, so it’s a weird fashion choice and not just one that he has). He screamed creepy weird nerd.

GCP is not going to be a thing in a few years. Why would anyone pick GCP at this point with all the horror stories coming out of there? Yes, support is hard, yes it's expensive, yes it takes time. But at the end of the day this is how you make or break the trust of your customers.

Amazon price tracker, Amazon price history charts, price drop alerts
And many people at Amazon surely do know that they sell stolen goods but decide to do nothing about it
> No it isn’t. That’s a pretty basic part of living in a country with rule of law.

This is an incorrect framing: the law is that companies must know their suppliers, at least to the extent that they can demonstrate good faith compliance with laws around stolen, counterfeit, smuggled, etc. goods.

Given that Amazon has repeatedly been supplied evidence of fencing on its platform, it would be difficult to accept a defense from ignorance.

Others have covered the copper angle. But it doesn't have to be a potato. A bit of paper towel moistened with salty water or saliva would also work, all you need is for current to flow initially (that's the purpose of the salt), and for something to carry the copper ions (the water).

are you supposed to write your own firebase? develop your own android?
yes, OP learned a hard lesson about Google, but that does not mean that you cannot build stuff using just one provider. you need to do your due diligence of course. You need to have a plan, of course. But the cost of doing this on 2 platforms skyrocket. And especially for a small player the multi-cloud, massive investment is just not an option.

Someone else mentioned it, it can be terminated in the field. It is a very serviceable connector which fortunately the commercial world still values. You don't want to be replacing a 100m run of USB C cable when the connector breaks.

If you are a consumer who tries to buy right, buy once, commercial products are a great place to look for this reason too. Industry often requires serviceability and robustness.

I agree. My Gigabyte Ampere system idles closer to 120 watts total, including the disks. While it's not filled to the brim with RAM, 250 watts seems high.
Amazon knows very well that people are selling stolen goods on their site. They’ve repeatedly chosen to do nothing.

Only if you narrowly define 'people' to mean the tiny minority of people who are thieves, and exclude the overwhelming majority of people who aren't thieves. Thieves are safer on the street but everybody else is safer with thieves off the street. You've got your priorities skewed.

True. I'll be absolutely wonderful, because I don't need Twitter or Elon's latest Snake Oil.

Lol, fuck twitter.
Yes, but are the connection pools in Rails & Sidekiq configured for a very large number of connections. You can probably squeeze up to 100+ out of a single process.
That’s one of the reasons I used the word “primarily”, which is a word that I would defend. Even if many Americans don’t personally have much English descent, the shared cultural narrative of the country starts there. The central complaint of the American Revolution was that the British were infringing on our traditional “rights of Englishmen”, which evolved over centuries. We’ve retained the English language and the English common law. Many of our cultural and regional variations to this day, even down to our regional dialects, can be traced to those that existed in different parts of England.

Also, please find a reliable citation that says that more Americans have African than English heritage. That strikes me as a very surprising claim.

It was pretty clear that vaccines had been oversold early on. The opposite happened with masks, where the experts pooh-poohed them, then backtracked.

It was quite eye-opening how fast the mainstream narratives were rewritten.

If you think of a computer as a heat engine.. some energy goes to heat, and some goes into doing "work". For analyzing the efficiency of a computer as a heater you have to subtract out the "work" which would be the hashing computations, making it less efficient than a pure heating coil (assuming the crypto hashing is 100% worthless)

Just a minor nit. Mechanical engineering ain’t additive manufacturing. And CAM isn’t mechanical engineering. Also 3D printing and CNC, which creates far stronger parts, are quite different. CNCing ferrous and non ferrous metal is quite challenging - but again, this is CAM which is more a machinists job, not a mechanical engineer.
Note: This article is not about running Mac Classic directly on the Wii (e.g., with modified drivers). Instead, Linux is used to run a program called Mac-on-Linux (https://www.maconlinux.net) that takes care of the hardware interfacing problem while utilizing the Wii's PowerPC CPU natively, as it is very similar to a Mac G3 series CPU. Still, it is an interesting accomplishment.
And many people who buy from Amazon know Amazon must happen to sell some goods that are stolen, yet they still shop there. If everyone had to cease buying/selling because they know their counterparty must have some stolen goods then trade would literally ground to a halt.

I don't know if it's a crime if it's just "somewhere we must be buying stolen goods, but we don't know where." I'm not a lawyer but I think knowing that the specific item you bought/sold was stolen would look differently in court than just having some vague knowledge there must be stolen stuff somewhere in the supply chain.

Punishment is about desert, rooted in morality. A sin/crime/misdeed just definitionally deserves punishment.

Read The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment by CS Lewis [1].

The other position is that humans need to be cured of their problems. At which point the "humanitarians" who arbitrarily decide these things, basically will endlessly torture people into conformance. They medicalize justice. With the permission of their own conscience, they will cure people of things they may not even regard as a state of disease. Of course these "diseases" are a subjective matter. What some people regard as unpleasant ways to live, others don't.
