“Hey we are trying to save for $x. Can we meet some place cheaper?”

“I won’t be able to go on $x vacation with you all. I will have to catch you next time”.

I work for $BigTech remotely in a lower cost of living area. Our income is much higher than many of our friends. We purposefully choose places that are affordable.

I was just planning a trip with my cousins (we grew up together like siblings) and everyone without small kids and responsibilities was talking about going to all inclusive in Mexico for a week. My being the only person reading the room - knowing that one of my cousins had twins in high school and knowing her situation - I suggested a much cheaper option.

On the other hand, my wife and I have had to say no to vacations we would typically go on with friends because they just weren’t in our budget because of the combination of expenses we are having transition to our digital nomad lifestyle and the drop in the value of my unvested RSUs in the River company.

Why do people insist on smearing OpenBSD like this? My 2011 ThinkPads run Firefox and LibreOffice just fine. It's not as polished as Fedora, sure, but I never have to reinstall after upgrading trashes grub, which happened to me earlier this year.

+1 even more so, because I could see the small flaws and gaps that Zumthor may tolerate in a personal dwelling, but may not fly in large-scale projects.

Lesson for me: perfection isn't necessary for the experiences I want from exceptional architecture.
Bitcoin like any other protocol has certain characteristics and tradeoffs. The traditional monetary system is layered too (credit cards is one of the consumer facing ones). Layered architectures are found everywhere. See the Web: IP, TCP, HTTP. Any concern about those? Do you think a protocol that does it all would be better or even possible?
This is more like the politician's syllogism.

Yes you are right, but IMO it's algorithmic curation already, like the parent said. It's just not from your timeline but from whole fediverse / server you are on.

It's probably not that difficult to add one based on your feed if there is one globalized already.
That could make sense but "exponential toys" and "exponential weapons" and "exponentials" as a substantive indicate to me the intended meaning was closer to "disruptive".
> How would repealing the Jones Act help?

By removing the restrictions that make riverine transport uncompetitive in many cases with trains and trucks. Without those restrictions sending goods by boat is far cheaper (and less carbon intensive) than the alternatives which would give industry in the entire Mississippi River system a boost in competitiveness. There’s a reason a lot of value add industries are located beside ports. The Jones Act effectively removed the likes of Pittsburgh from the list of port cities.
Yes, same. Sorkin says he won't hold back.

i know nothing about them! thanks for bringing them to my attention.
One command that I've used a lot that's missing is:

pkg_info -Q str

It allows searching for packages with substring str in their name. Very useful when you want to see, which additional packages are available for a thing, for examlpe:

pkg_info -Q xfce
Oh yeah, I was pissed at the time. I held off playing HL2 for years because of it. I think I remember reading about a Steam easter egg where it accepted your old Half-Life box set codes. I tried it, and was pleasantly surprised. I bought the Orange Box, and never looked back.

Even years later, they quietly added HL Alyx to my library. I’m 100% skeptical of platforms like Steam, but Steam & Valve have won my trust.

Their unflagging support for Linux is just another piece of why I won’t budge from their platform.
You wistfully look out the rainy window, sigh at your misfortune, and move on. It wasn't meant for you.
Will their return policy rebuild your house when a faulty power adapter burns it down?
No. The difference is that lottery is a legal monopoly of the state to squeeze you. As long as it is them who do it everything is ok. They do not care, they just make ir look better to have the excuse and a monopoly.
Originally, the tokens were just a mechanism for low friction money transfers. As such, they have utility and thus value, but the value is somewhat arbitrary.

It will stop your hunger, but you will still fight your bad habits or social eating. If you eat like “normal” you will have a bad time. Your stomach will hurt, you will feel miserable. Gotta have your partner help and stop eating out or eat separately for a few months.
> I only started using them in 2017 and I still do use them sparingly. But typically only for stuff I buy directly from the brand's store on Amazon.

Does this work? My spouse recently purchased some 3M N-95 masks directly from 3M’s Amazon store. They’re supposed to arrive in a box that has a code on it which you can enter into 3M’s website to verify it’s real and not a counterfeit. Instead they arrived in a clear plastic bag with no printing on it. There’s no code so I can only assume they’re either fakes or were pull from a larger box (which means potentially handled inappropriately). Given my spouse’s immune condition, that’s not a chance we really want to take so we’re going to throw them out.
A beautiful book in nearly every way.
> one could easily overload the -12V bus

People can easily overload 12V motherboard fan headers, too.

> if they are trying to get a lot of CFM.

If so, they probably have a PSU larger than the entry-level 350W unit I specified. Higher wattage PSUs will provide more power on the -12V rail as well.

> I don’t see a compelling reason to use 24V

Neither does anyone else. Still, correcting a bit of misinformation in the article.

What I do find strange is how much systemic support already exists for other marginalised groups in society. But given how pervasive the idea of a meritocracy is in capitalist societies I've wondered whether extending that support would mean confronting some uncomfortable truths.

Regardless of that there are benefits to be had here. Very few products (especially tech products) are targeted exclusively towards people from wealthy backgrounds.
It allows you to temporarily unblock the main thread/renderer before performing a potentially expensive computation. I’ve used this technique (with plain requestIdleCallback) to display incremental UI feedback as a chain of computations progresses. This is in an application I inherited/maintain, with some existing performance problems. I intend to make more substantive performance improvements, but this stopgap measure significantly improves perceived performance, eg by immediately showing the effect of a direct interaction such as a checkbox state change even if the triggered computations may take ~500ms.

The downside is it potentially introduces “jank”, where incremental changes render temporarily, and computation time is somewhat slower overall. In my experience/opinion, the tradeoff is worth it around 100-200ms depending on what’s being unblocked.
Or eBay. I’m offloading a bunch of random bike parts, and yeah, somebody out there needs a Shimano XYZ-123 that was last built in 1994 (and doesn’t care to figure out the modern replacement).
> I was looking for a new whetstone

The King whetstone on the bottom right is legit if you want to freehand. However, I recommend something like an Edge Pro if you have quality chefs knives, etc.
It's a good model for someone with minimal skills and/or capital who is willing to hustle. If you have work, then go do it, if you don't have work, be going door to door handing out flyers and talking to potential customers.
I am not opposed to proof of stake but your arguments that youtube and paypal are more wasteful isn't super convincing- after all, you picked a video that's been watched billions of times, and paypal provides a very important service.

Then again, I've been telling myself the exact same thing since the start of this saga and I have been proven wrong every single time.
It doesn't come up for me on the left-hand side where all the filters are :( Just double-checked.
You pay $20k per year in premiums for a family of four to avoid paying more than the out of pocket maximum in a calendar year, and to have to an agent negotiate prices and appropriate services with the healthcare seller.

The likely amounts owed below your out of pocket maximum also have to be incorporated.

Also, my gold metal level BCBS network PPO plan is near $30k per year for a family of 4, so $20k seems like it might be sacrificing quantity/quality of in network providers.
Any videos you specifically recommend? Would be interested in learning about it more on the practical side, my org just does invoice factoring to help truckers get paid more quickly.
If you ban fossil energies and nuclear/gas I am not sure from where you are going to take all energy from.

With the current technology it is just impossible.
I was looking for earphones and same products were repeated on 900 pages, with 20 to 25 entries listed per page. The odds of finding a useful product in this ocean of repetition is then about 0.1%. I must have clicked for 30 minutes to see the extent of invasion. It was so exhausting and dispiriting that since then (8 months ago), I have not visited Amazon anymore.
I mean, sure, but reterminating with a new, not broken RJ45 only takes 30 seconds, and they cost peanuts.
Happy Thanksgiving y'all from upstate New York... Let the family arguments commence!!
If you value simplicity, it's far better than Linux. Many people use it because they like simple things that just work and can be easily fixed when they fail.
>What are 100K dollar ideas but not million dollar ideas?

It's the kind where it's so common you think of one every day.

It's also not that much, 100K USD has never been lower in value, so that trend is moving in your favor too.

That's why they say ideas like this are worthless, but they're wrong.

In perspective, though, when a company pays somebody 50K it really costs the company about 100K anyway, and there are companies all over the place where that's what they pay people who are not expected to produce anything at all. We all know how many bullshit jobs there really are.

So there's lots of people every day who have ideas more wortwhile than their actual job.

Every once in a while it's a million dollar idea but it can be kind of hard to tell and usually slips under the radar.

Since it requires a different type of action to get the ball rolling either way, 10X remains just as far out-of-reach as an uneconomical venture.

Now the 100K amount is a good example benchmark, but you can also think about things like 250K etc.
True!

But, there's a huge difference in say, the hardware available to a well-funded Silicon Valley company in the richest place in the richest country in the world, and hardware that a poor person in Sub-Saharan Africa or Rural India might be able to scrap together (if they can even acquire or afford electricity and an Internet connection...)

Around the world, globally -- some people might not have access to hardware which is accelerated enough (much less a GPU!) -- to run the latest and greatest algorithms or the applications that depend on those algorithms...

Conversely, in places like Silicon Valley -- you might have all sorts of new-fangled software running on (and requiring!) super high-end hardware -- that just isn't available or affordable for even the middle class in America!

The democratization of information (on the one hand!) requires that computers, no matter how old, no matter how incapable or unaccelerated (i.e., no GPU) -- run the 'best in class' algorithm -- for whatever their hardware is capable of.

But progressivism, at least in the technological sphere, that is, advancing technology, making progress, "pushing the envelope", "working at the cutting edge", progressivism -- requires the opposite! It requires that we run the absolute newest, latest, most experimental, most "bleeding edge" algorithms on the newest, latest, most experimental hardware!

What emerges from these two countervailing goals -- is a matrix.

A matrix of "hardware capability" X and "best in class algorithm for" Y.

For any given algorithm/application.

If we were to go through the process (er, pain, er process! <g>) to create such a matrix, such a table... then we'd see (much like with incomplete historical snapshots of the Periodic Table of elements) that there are missing / "not well-defined" entries!

We'd also see that there are yet additional combinations, er, elements, er, combinations <g> -- to be discovered in the future!

So, there you have it... (technological!) progressivism vs. (technological) democratization of information (AKA, "equity" as applied to information).

If both countervailing goals are to be pursued (and I claim both are equally virtuous!) -- then what we need is matrices of what is currently "best in class" for any given hardware/algorithmic combination!

And... we might have a whole lot of great hardware and algorithms -- but I strongly believe there is still a lot to be discovered (and improved upon!)...

But yes, in general, I agree that many audio and video codecs do have hardware acceleration support!

Any chance your RAM has errors?
Warpforge -- project website: http://warpforge.io / https://github.com/warptools/warpforge -- is a project I work on that's heading a bit in this direction. Hashes in + build instruction = hashes out. It's really a powerful primitive indeed.

Building big sharable package systems is indeed a second half of the problem. Figuring out how to make the system have the hashy goodness AND be usefully collaborative with async swarms of people working independently and yet sharing work: tricky. We're trying to do it, though!

We have our first few packages now published, here: https://catalog.warpsys.org/

You can also see _how_ we build things, because we publish the full rebuild instructions with each release: for example, here's how we packaged our bash: https://catalog.warpsys.org/warpsys.org/bash/_replays/zM5K3V...

I'm in #warpforge on matrix with some collaborators if anyone's interested in joining us for a chat and some hacking :)
I would like to understand how in your mind Kia is a "crap tier" auto maker. Maybe that's from a European context speaking but Kia has an excellent reputation here (Austria) particularly because they offer one of the longest warranty periods (7 years). The EV6 in particular is a very sought after car.
I come from a family with a lot of poverty. Whenever I hear people who have never been poor talk about poverty it sounds like they're from Mars. I understand that there's a certain amount of this that's just manners/politeness, but if your position on poverty is that everybody's doing their best and lack of success is never the result of individual choices or effort, then I just assume you've never actually met any poor folks.

And remember that I'm talking about my family here! These are the people I love the most in the world. I don't want them to starve. I'm glad there's a social safety net and I'd like to see it expanded. But these are not people who are giving it their all and coming up short in a society that's structurally in opposition to them. They're drug addicts and alcoholics and the ones who aren't watch 14 hours of TV every day. I never knew my grandparents to have even an ounce of ambition. My grandfather had a "nervous break down" in his 30s and never tried to work again. (He was by all appearances entirely capable of working.) I don't think my mother ever once made a plan for the future. Etc, etc.
Have you seen those meals? I’d rather kill myself here and now
Likewise. I ordered 2 sets of batteries for our cordless landline phone from NewEgg. They sent me one set. I emailed customer service and they charged me for 2 more sets and sent nothing. Never doing business with them again.
Some more examples, I recently needed new hair dryer as my old one started throwing spars
This "SALONIA" hair dryer is being pushed by paid influencers in japan, however based on the few critical reviews and their pictures, it does not look like the quality is good

The products may actually be somewhat decent, but based on the tactics involved and the shady reviews, I wouldn't put my money on something that can shock you or burn your house down, so I eventually just went with reputable panasonic one.

> It's also possible that someone is trying to increase the percentage of searches that have location information, that doesn't seem terribly far-fetched either, and I can imagine lots of ways people could try to rationalize it as actually benefiting users.

Could you speak more to how this kind of thing figuratively plays out? With privacy on most of our (tech-focused) minds, I’m mostly curious how openly an initiative like this is/would be carried out. Would you imagine it as a buried lede or as a very transparent, explicit OKR?

You're missing the point. I'm not saying it's not possible, I'm saying there is a social cost and friction involved, which makes it a not so easy choice especially for younger people just starting their careers and needing to form those social networks.

The things you can do as a married couple with an established social circle are quite different.
Performance and efficiency aren’t the same thing. Django does a lot of things other frameworks ranked here don’t do.

Such framework rankings are also utterly irrelevant when you want something widely used enough to easily find contributors and integrations. That restricts you quite a bit more than “any so called framework that just handles http”.

Gentoo supports building and installing binary packages from portage: You can compile once and then distribute the resulting package to other computers where they can be installed by Portage. Portage even verifies that the USE flags are the same!

The claim is that they’ll use the opportunity to grill him with hard questions and check his lies on the spot.

In reality, I have a hard time believing that after watching Kanye West’s recent media tour where he steamrolled his interviewers and used their platforms to repeat his claims over and over again. Even the podcasts where interviewers supposedly pushed back the most (Lex Fridman is often given as an example) barely resulted in Kanye acknowledging the pushback and didn’t stop him from repeating his points over and over on the platform.

The NYTimes event is especially weird because it’s not being held up as a “watch us grill this liar” but rather “come hear talks from this impressive lineup of accomplished people!”

I had been doodling ideas about a distributed forge. It would allow for a local-first environment. Updates can be broadcast on something lile ActivityPub, and some automatic way to pull from Githuv. Discussions can go there, though git-bug may be the better way to go.

My main goal is resiliency. A typical Elixir/Phoenix project, for example, will have some dependencies on github. If github or the internet goes down, or even disappears, there would be no way for us to rebuild that from source.
