>Your claim IS FALSE

Because we discovered that- just like for literally of all human history preceding it- wealthy men do in fact like having sex with young prostitutes. This means that 'JFK was assassinated by the mob or anti-Communists, or that 9/11 was an inside job, or that US elections are routinely rigged, or that lizard people secretly run our government from inside of the hollow Earth or whatever' is more likely to be true now? Epstein allegations being true raises the odds of secret lizard people? Or slightly less facetiously, Epstein allegations being true raises the odds of 9/11 being an inside job? This is your assertion? Don't let me put words in your mouth, you tell me.

Nothing really except a one liner "We are laying off x% of our workforce" so that people are aware. No one cares about the reasons and anything else that the CEO has to say. I don't run a big enough company to announce layoffs publicly but if I ever did, I would do the 1 liner. Simple and informative.

The legitimate purpose is choosing to not trade with a company owned by a particular person. And that facility should be open to anyone without having to jump through hoops.
88x31 in numbers doesn't ring a bell for me either, but seeing those buttons, I remember being them everywhere. Some were more common than others (HTML validated, XHTML validated, Netscape, optimized for 1024x768, Apache, ...).
It is in general dishonest to diminish someone else's resources without their consent or prior knowledge. I can see how this is different from using someone else's computer as part of your botnet (because the act itself is illegal), but how is this different from, say, mining a bitcoin on someone else's computer because they visited your website?

By "this" I mean the case in which a visitor's bandwidth is used to redistribute a file without their permission.
You can just not give your kids smartphones, and manage access to computers? Sorry to break this to you, but if kids have access to internet connected devices they will find pornography, flash games (well, not anymore, but I'm sure modern HMTL5 games are just as addicting), and various other stuff to "veg out" with. If there's a domain blacklist they'll find VPNs. I know I did back in the 2000s. Government regulation will mean jack shit, they'll just find a way to bypass whatever filter gets implemented [1].

If you don't want your kids to view such content, the only realistic solution is to not give them internet access. Supply them with a library of books, DVDs, etc. of your choice. The only way to manage the content your child sees, is to manage the content your child has access to.

> One wrinkle is the goddamn schools sending home devices I can't administer. Hate, hate, hate that.

This makes things harder, but one option to not give them your wifi password so that these electronics can't be used. If the child needs to use these electronics to complete classwork, then complaining to the school that they are supplying kids with devices that they use to watch porn will probably elicit a strong response.

> Whereas the US is actually China's biggest demand source

> China Exports to United States was US$577.13 Billion during 2021

> European Union Imports from China was US$557.31 Billion during 2021

I believe this is pretty even so invalidates a bit your point.

> European Union Exports to China was US$260.61 Billion during 2021

> In 2021, the value of the U.S. exports to China amounted to approximately 151.07 billion U.S. dollars

This one holds more truth, it's a US$ 90B difference between exports from the USA and the EU into China.

This is what it spit out, if anyone is curious (best of them, from what I could tell, I dunno much about concurrent programming but this looked the most reasonable to me):

I started by typing this:

template <typename T>
struct uint64_compressed_ptr_and_counter

This is one of the implementations it generated:

https://godbolt.org/z/hbfY6GPzo

I don't think this is correct since it doesn't use CAS/atomics but it's certainly interesting.

Comments that it generated for the classes:

// This is a lock-free stack that uses pointer compression to store a counter
// and a tag in the pointer. The tag is used to indicate whether the stack is
// empty or not, and the counter is used to detect ABA problems.

It's not clear to me that donating to politicians necessarily buys you clemency (in the absence of explicit quid pro quo), but accepting the premise, I think at a certain point, when your crimes and donations are widely publicized, there's a phase transition where it's more likely to work against you. The politicians can't bare the perception of having been bought, and whatever influence they're able to muster is directed against you.

But it's not clear to me that donating to campaigns in a handful of election cycles buys you very much influence within the DoJ. Influencing politicians in order to impact the nomination of judges or other appointees, or to pass certain laws - those are clear mechanisms, but they take many election cycles to implement. It seems to me like SBF's influence campaign was successfully building good will for the crypto legislation he supported, but that FTX/Alameda blew up before that could come to fruition.

I expect his donations to be largely neutral to his potential prosecution but am open to reporting surfacing facts to the contrary.

The "Mirrors" system by Bracha and Ungar [0] is intended to address this IIUC. It's obviously a big, very messy problem, but without a good meta system, languages are forced to grow large and messy on their own in order to be appropriate for a wide variety of programming tasks, or to overuse compile-time macros/templating to similarly hairy effect.

If I was talking about someone arrested for speaking against the monarchy on Twitter, I wouldn't talk about that as someone being "arrested for a tweet", maybe I would talk about someone being "arrested for tweeting critically about the monarchy" or just "arrested for being critical of the monarchy". If one thinks the speech in question should be legal, you'd think one would mention the kind of speech, not just the medium.

As it is, we can't judge for ourselves whether the arrest is warranted or not, which is kind of a big deal when the arrest is used by robswc to illustrate how the UK is approaching authoritarianism.

To me those appear to be more non-sequitur arguments. And I am not from the USA, so your comments are parochially myopic.

> So you're calling Jeep reliable?

Jesus no. I remember an acquaintance taking his 4WD Jeep out mud-plugging: clutch stopped working because the slave cylinder cracked — cylinder cracked because the clutch slave cylinder was poorly made and it was made out of plastic. More importantly, 4WD vehicles that sell to urban purchasers in the USA mean nothing to the context of relying on a 4WD in remote areas. Down under, Toyota is popular in outback Australia, where an unreliable vehicle is a big problem and potentially could kill you. Toyota is also popular for their reliability on farms in New Zealand (even though farms in New Zealand are mostly not so remote that reliability is a safety issue).

> low cost vehicles

Admittedly unclear, but the quotes from the linked article are talking about low cost maintenance; nothing to do purchase price. The article is obviously predominantly urban USA, because that was the only factual source I could find that wasn’t just opinion. Maintenance costs are a proxy measurement for reliability. Often maintenance costs are dominated by hours worked in my experience, so “cheap” parts cannot explain why older Toyota vehicles remain cheaper to maintain.
If it were the case that 538 were better than the betting markets, then obviously the bettors would just start following 538's odds until the gap closed. Like if you believe betting markets work at all, you should have always expected them to be at least as good as the best publicly available models. The only interesting outcome would have been if the betting markets were significantly better.

All this tells me is that betting markets offer little to no (depending on how large or small you think the error bars on their brier scores are) additional information over statistical modeling.
Thanks for the suggestion!

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

>I think the primary innovation is business plan, ie limit scope by only bidding on things like small diameter, simple requirements, etc. Avoid projects that would lengthy and expensive study, etc. Public works projects tend to be insanely expensive and part of it is due to continual scope creep, which brings in more stakeholders which further increases scope and cost… in a continuous cycle until the project is canceled or, miraculously, is finished at ten times the budget.

Is there any documentation that this is the motivation? Why as detailed in the article does he then entice local governments by saying he can do it at an insanely low price and then never puts a bit in? Also in the article Musk said he could build the tunnel for $45M, but after the discussions with the city the price rose to $500M, so much for keeping costs in check.

>Which kind of answers the objections raised in these articles. If cities are unwilling or unable to allow scope to be constrained to the capabilities of TBC’s tunneling tech, why should TBC bid on the project? Why blame TBC for that?

Again where is the evidence, for that claim? He got the local government to cancel the light rail project because he said he could build it for more than a factor 20-30 less, after discussions that became a factor 2-3 and then they didn't even bid?

> But we’ll see. TBC has not completed many tunneling projects, and companies must ultimately be judged on the basis of their output (although for companies in growth and innovation mode, that can require patience).

Not many is quite an understatement. 2 is the actual number, one on the SpaceX property under some road (they actually cancelled a second planed one) and the Las Vegas one, which is probably the easiest case for tunnel boring.
Offer it as a feature only available if they pay $(3-5x estimated costs).

It's like going through my childhood photo album!
I'm currently in a game design undergrad program and was surprised to see how few books are published about specific engines. I'm not positive, but I reckon it was historically a niche domain that changed constantly because it closely followed bleeding edge hardware, and until recently, was mostly proprietary. Just yesterday, a knowledgeable, experienced instructor decided to switch from using Unreal Engine 5.0.3 to 5.1 in class only to find the well-established system for some basic game parameters was deprecated.

Game development also requires non-trivial base knowledge about a broad range of topics, i.e. 3D meshes, materials, rigging, lighting, and/or 2D animation, UI concepts, some audio stuff, knowing how event-based programming works, generally, etc. Gaging base knowledge might be difficult! Most people don't need to, or event want to understand the whole huge thing to work on their projects... So even among those interested that's still a tough sell.

It would bother me less if the documentation was better. Even in Unreal Engine many of the entries in the API docs are generated from whatever sparse comments are in the engine code. It seems like the standard way to learn these things is to either be motivated enough to stumble around for a few years using tutorials, YouTube videos, overly terse official docs, and reading engine code, or learning from someone who already knows what they're doing, either at a university or on the job. I am pretty green though, so I may be making some faulty assumptions.

I've found forcing myself to learn Unreal's Blueprint system taught me more about game development in general than bigger projects in Godot because Unreal is so much more opinionated, but you can pretty easily dig into the mechanics. Godot being so close to Python was nice, though. The videos at LinkedIn Learning (formerly Lynda) are outdated for Unreal, but deeper than tutorials, and useful for basic game creation knowledge and parallel skills like 3D modeling software.
Right?! Hi I'm Tom West's daughter, librarian, owner of MetaFilter and someone who spends a LOT of time talking to people (mainly men) who take only some of the messages away from that book. The book was great. I'm in it in a single sentence. My sister isn't in it at all. My parents divorced shortly after the book came out. My father had never "let" my mother have a job (it was a different time) and so she was ill-prepared for the single life, but made it work.

I hammered out a decent relationship with my dad despite the fact that he was basically married to his work, was probably somewhere on the autism spectrum, and had a problematic relationship with alcohol. He was a good guy but he learned interpersonal interactions somewhat by rote and in a business role where the goal was "results" he just did what he had to do. It's weird growing up when your dad's nickname is The Price of Darkness.

He wound up having a decent retirement after being a company man most of his life, got to sail a lot more, had a second messy divorce, and died in 2011. At his memorial service Tracy Kidder spoke eloquently about working with my dad through the writing of that book (he basically lived with us on weekends for a while) and how he knew the book had been good for him--he won a Pulitzer, was catapulted to some level of renown, got to write more books--but he was never quite sure it had been good for my dad. I also wonder sometimes.

So, yeah, when I talk to people who are reading it again or for the first time, I often ask them to reflect on what the book says about work/life balance, about gender norms (there's one woman in the entire coding team), about how project management should run, and about the weird cult of personality that can grow up around people who don't quite get along with people, and how things could be different.
Read the article I just linked to. Scroll down, there's a heading for it. From my other comment in this thread:

>The opposite was evidentially proven, multiple times. Vaccines stopped the virus transmitting from infected individuals in many if not most interactions:

>https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-pfizer-vaccine-tra...

>If you're saying it doesn't 100% eliminate the chance of infection or transmission, no one who knew anything about vaccines ever claimed that.

Lying to people on the internet about something you have no sources for is also immoral.
AOS/VS. I don't know the whole Unix history at DG and I came in a bit later. But even when I joined in the mid-80s, I'm pretty sure there was a somewhat skunkworks Unix contingent (with both DG/UX and a hosted on AOS/VS MV/UX variant) which I'm pretty sure were running on MVs at the time. Not sure if the Unix folks were down in RTP in NC by then but there were definitely Unix fans among the OS group(s). DG didn't push Unix until later--it was just one of the things we offered--but I think there was probably more overt hostility from Ken Olsen at DEC.

(And I'm not sure Edson wouldn't have at least tacitly supported something at least in part because Olsen opposed it, even if DG did plenty of things patterned after DEC.)
Self sabotage as in numerous ill faith law suites from municipalities, institutions, and private companies; non-cooperative utility companies and freight companies forcing ridiculous requirements such as the Hanford viaduct; a federal governments that only offers a nominal funding (and later withholds it when Trump comes into power); and then powerful people such as Elon Musk lying about having a better and cheaper alternative.

I think you are giving CASHR too much credit here.
Hi felix!
The idea, presumably, is not that an armed populace would win an all-out battle against the government in which the people fighting on behalf of the government are fully motivated and committed.

A bee does not expect to kill a dog(or whatever) with its stinger. It is a deterrent.

Now, I'm not saying that it is necessarily worth it for the population to be armed in this way. I don't know whether it is worth it. Maybe not? But the question is more complicated than "well obviously the government is going to be more armed, and therefore there is no point." .
So it doesn’t help much to just move your data if you get banned by a mod, does it?

The vaccine originally went a long ways towards preventing the spread. The virus mutated enough that the vaccine now pretty much only means reduced severity of infection.

One minor note:

Crystal achieved basic Windows support as of 2021/11/18.
https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/5430

As of Crystal 1.5.0, Windows support is basically there.
https://crystal-lang.org/2022/07/06/1.5.0-released.html

However, Crystal aims to support the lowest common denominator between POSIX and Windows, so not all of the Windows standard APIs are supported out-of-the-box. Other Windows specific libraries will need to be created specifically for Windows users/developers.

Well, you're going to want those checks regardless because, if we really want to be pessimistic, developers can commit code without running the compiler locally anyway.

The question is really, before you commit/push your code, and you just want to run the code, do you really need to be prevented from running the code just because it didn't pass typecheck? I'm inclined to say no.
Both parties largely see the constitution as something they need to get around, and have largely (with full support of the courts) inverted the meaning of the constitution to be not a limit on government power, but a limit on individual rights

In your example where Democrats support the 4th amendment, what except if a random person says you are armed then the 4th goes out the window, except if you are deemed to be rich then the 4th goes out the window, except if you have the "Wrong" opinions then the 4th goes out the windows

Democrats like Republicans only support the 4th, and every other amendment to the point where it supports their narrative and desire for power, the second the constitution is deemed to stand in the way of their power well it is document that should be ignored "for the greater good"
