First, let's explore your claim breaking the law is not dishonest. If a billionaire like Bill Gates is stuffed in a violin case and the airport officials asks me how many people will be on my flight and I don't include Bill Gates on the flight itinerary am I not being dishonest?

Second, your claim is if Bill Gates has me on retainer to break him out of jail and I don't break him out of jail I go to jail?

This is a surprising claim. You think Bill Gates goes around putting criminal activities in writing if the goal is to avoid going to jail?

You also seem to think Bill Gates wants to admit to the prosecutor that he illegally hired me to commit a crime, a seperate crime with additional jail time for Bill Gates in the hopes the prosecutor will go after me for revenge? If his goal is to stay out of jail he's going to switch goals to spending more time in jail to get back at me?

And the prosecutor is going to with a straight face announce to the world he's pressing charges on me for promising to break Bill Gates out of jail but not breaking Bill Gates out of jail? This is something you think is likely to happen?

One might almost think if Bill Gates wants to avoid jail the better strategy is hiring honest, law abiding people, avoid breaking the law, and avoid traveling to countries where you think the justice system is corrupt.

My wife is in a similar boat. I'm vaccinated, she is not. We are both very "pro vaccine." But when she was a child she was hospitalized and had a near death experience due an allergic reaction. Our family doctor, the same doctor that recommended that everyone else in our family get vaccinated, told her to err on the side of caution and take other precautions.

Why should she not trust the doctor that knows our family medical history and has taken care of all of us for, in the case of our children, their entire lives?

In other words, let's say a different doctor DID give a second opinion. Why would / should she trust that opinion more?
I find it very, very hard to go wrong with Syncthing (for stuff I truly need replicated, code/photos/text-records) and ZFS + znapzend + rsync.net (automatic snapshots of `/home` and `/var/lib` on servers).

The only thing missing is -> I'd like to stop syncing code with Syncthing and instead build some smarter daemon. The daemon would take a manifest of repositories, each with a mapping of worktrees->branches to be actualized and fsmonitored. The daemon would auto-commit changes on those worktrees into a shadow branch and push/pull it. Ideally this could leverage (the very amazing, you must try it) `jj` for continous committing of the working copy and (in the future, with native jj formart) even handle the likely-never-to-happen conflict scenario. (I'd happily collaborate on a Rust impl and/or donate funds to one.)

Given the number of worktrees I have of some huge repos (nixpkgs, linux, etc) it would likely mark a significant reduction in CPU/disk usage given what Syncthing is having to do now to monitor/rescan as much as I'm asking it to (given it has to dumb-sync .git, syncs gitignored content, etc, etc).
I can't imagine anybody without a paycheck-based motivation would be concerned by this. The fact that so many people in this comment section are whining about it is simply a reflection of the number of techies who work for Facebook or a company like it.
Some problems can't be fixed by just throwing money at them. In fact, giving corrupt nations more money tends to make them more corrupt, not less
1- most probably, money, buy ANI service, abuse it pretend you are calling from number you are not. Bolster it with website&service abuse

2- probably fixed, but a callID transmitter chip could be used to exploit a lengthy writable time for the data. it became difficult to buythese chips, and with voip & sip things are very different now. you may see this in low/old service areas,but its probably extinct.

3- voip abuse, part of voip is setting up caller number, some allow this to be changed on some basis,pay to change, make a fleet of numbers, some services exist soley to spoof the caller number.
This is false.

A forbes contributor page (no editorial oversight) concluded that because Google introduced a new performance review system this spring that expects to rate roughly 6% of the company below expectations (roughly 10,000 people) that the company is planning on laying off 10,000 people. This is just a completely unfounded leap of logic but it is so juicy that it was repeated everywhere.

All of the information about GRAD was made available in like April and was worked on well before we even reached 2022. Even with the old system, the majority of people who received NIs (targeting 2% of the company) were not fired.
Export tariffs are so low (around 4p per kWh) compared with import tariffs (more like 35p per kWh last time I looked) that if you got solar panels recently, after the feed in tariff was stopped, then getting a battery too made sense. I imagine most new installations include batteries. We only really export in the summer or if we are away - we use virtually all the electricity we generate most of the year.

I'm kind of weirded out by this. It really feels like super rich VC's and investors are trying to force a narrative of a LOT of outrage with this from everyone else.

Talking to some acquaintances, most know about the story and think the guy probably committed fraud but otherwise don't care THAT much.

Reasons

1: Most of the money lost was from VC's and rich people, so we don't care that much

2: Crypto shit seems pretty separated from the rest of the economy so it doesn't seem like 2008 where the failures of these companies caused massive issues for everyone else.

So /shrug, people were told that crypto was unregulated and anything could happen, people considered that a feature because $$$, and lost their money when the unregulated shit failed. The magic beans and monopoly money that rich people were playing with were worthless. Who knew except everyone who wasn't trying to be the last sucker out.

Should SBF go to jail for fraud? Probably. Does most normal people care that much? I don't think so
Well then Apple shouldn't have shipped this bug then. Why blame individuals rather than the $2.3 trillion dollar corporation which can't get its act together.

People in the know are aware that this is just the tip of the iceberg with macOS bugs. Wifi bugs that everyone has to work around, APIs that promise Unicode NFC but aren't actually NFC, quadratic performance bugs caused by various always-on Apple services that trigger under mysterious circumstances, regressions every other minor version, the list goes on. Linux, which has orders of magnitude less money behind it, is somehow so much more robust.

But Apple won at capitalism, and the dream of most startup founders is to also win at capitalism, so this forum is filled with sycophants.
Smoother driving reduces particulates (e.g. no jackrabbit starts, smoother stops, less braking overall by avoiding situations like tailgating). I don't expect any humans to become better (they're getting worse), but self-driving cars will be much more fuel and braking efficient.
There is no mistaking the magic when a large group of programmers have a common vision, of sufficient conceptual integrity to allow most anyone to make most any decisions (source: programming in the host side team at AOL while the traffic was still doubling every few months),

And yet it is I would say very rare to see a good team scale their vision up. AOL was able to onboard new programmers and share the vision, but we never got a different geographic site converted, not really.

One tried things with documentation and two person Webex meetings, and code reviews that focus not on being tidy, but here’s how we understand this problem, these are the reasons to do something, this use case is an example of such and such a concept. (Just a final closing comment, be tidy you won’t be happy otherwise.). It can gradually build up over time, but rarely causes teams to catch fire.

If we ran the entire grid on coal, it would still be something like 15-20% cleaner to use EVs. But since the US gets just about a fifth of its electricity from coal, with the number dropping practically every day, this is no longer something to concern ourselves with. EVs are strictly better for emissions regardless of how the power is generated.

Nobody's forcing anybody to deliver your teriyaki. You're paying a premium so you don't have to leave the house. Someone's freely choosing to earn some money to provide your premium service. They've decided that delivering your thing is better for them than not delivering your thing.

The article spent very little time describing "Why you should blur your home?".

All it gives is that streetview "makes it easier for stalkers or criminals to plan their way inside of your home."

Is this a real concern and should I be worried? Has it ever happened?
No, those are not cheating. However, it's cheating when your kid types his math problems into Google and just enters them into an autovalidating document. If coding exercises are simple and working code can be acquired brainlessly by typing the problem statement into ChatGPTNext, then yes I'd consider that cheating (both in the direct sense of violating the rules of the course and in the sense of the learner cheating him/herself out of the value of the exercise).

As a side note, the type of math "education" I describe above is worse than useless, as the autovalidator rejects correct answers that aren't entered exactly as the form expects, and has no facility for or requirement to show one's work. It's literally just teaching kids to Google and answer and then shotgun it into the form with random permutations until they get a green checkmark.
> You could just run ICE-powered cars on cleaner fuels like propane.

From my understanding a lot of the pollution is just from heating up the incoming air containing nitrogen. Unless you're taking your oxidizer with you rather than using the air to burn that propane, you're still going to produce toxic-to-humans nitrogen-based oxides (pollution) from exploding the gas in the presence of nitrogen. In fact depending on how you do it (for example if the combustion temperatures end up higher) you could have significant increases of such compounds versus gasoline combustion.

Best to keep the combustion vehicles to antiques/collectables and make all daily drivers use electricity.
I went to Monaco on my honeymoon(one of a few places I visited). A few things the article does not mention are that the local residents cannot gamble at the cities casino. I believe that the casino is one of the largest sources of revenue for the city state. The aquarium and palace are very nice and the palace in particular has alot of history and continuing tradition. Was shocked at the number of luxury cars that were in our parking garage(we drove in), like at least 20-30 Ferraris, Rolls Royce and Bentleys in the garage we parked at. Having grown up in the sf bay area which is very wealthy, the level of wealth here was amazing even to me. I know the country is desperately trying to add more land, this means building out into the sea and building up(high rises). The city state is on a somewhat hilly area which further restricts available building areas. Overall it was a great trip and the people were all friendly and it seemed very safe, lastly I really enjoyed the beer Brasserie de Monaco pilsner(locally brewed).

Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980s_oil_glut and eyeballing 1980-1990, it seems plausible that the Union had been doing OK with oil at USD 30 but became far more precarious indeed with oil under USD 20?

OPEC+ doesn't seem to be in the mood to replay the 1980s, though.
It is not particularly economical to recycle EV batteries yet because they're still worth a lot more on the secondary market for non-mobile use. When we have a surplus of them, it will be cheaper to reclaim the lithium from the old batteries than it is to mine new lithium.
There is an overlap between Q/A and discussion in my mind. In photography, for instance, I am sometimes trying to solve a specific problem but I am sometimes trying to learn about different approaches to a subject or I am out to buy strange things on Ebay at discounted prices (I have my eye on https://petapixel.com/2017/01/12/look-lytro-illum-camera-fut...) so I am interested in freewheeling discussions.

I find the stackexchange paradigm to be broken. To do what I want to do on those sites (write a comment to call out a wrong answer) I'd have to spend a lot of time doing meaningless activities to get my karma up. Stackexchange in particular breaks the link between answering narrowly defined questions and open-ended discussions. In programming today the place where you most need insight from other people is in choosing libraries and frameworks, a discussion which is forbidden on stackoverflow. Mostly you're not allowed to ask questions where you couldn't get the answer from the documentation. It might be a struggle to find answers in the docs, but if you do so you will get the right answers. In SO you will get 30 answers, most of which are almost right -- the person who actually knows what they are talking about is disgusted by the SO game and the possibility that their right answer won't be recognized in a sea of wrong and almost right answers.

There was a trade publication that licensed a copy of their software which was administered a little differently from others and realized pretty quick I could put up a good score by asking questions, I deliberately made myself the #2 user on the site but didn't aim for #1 because it didn't seem fair. I was curious about if you could do the same on stackoverflow and stackexchange but found that the scene is a bit different and you really can't.
Absolutely. It's entirely possible to develop a bad budget or schedule. You don't find a lot of material about that.

Hey, I just invented eXtreme Budgeting. If you buy my book, attend my conference talks, and hire my firm the coach your organization through implementing it, you'll be among the A-tier companies that have decided to take budgeting seriously by practicing XB!

The takeaway from the article is that one must not just look at the numbers on the package but also consider bioavailability.
RPI has a degree in information systems management, I think they call it. A coworker enrolled and worked part time while in the program. Apparently they teach that Conceptual Integrity is the dominant factor in project success or failure. Someone has to be able to fit the entire system in their head and when they go it’s all downhill.

Some processes try to break conceptual integrity. Micro services are one but Scrum as practiced usually tries to stick people into a blind valley where the horizon is months out rather than years. That leads to bad minmaxing behaviors, and/or covert channels being used to keep the wheels on. Scrum theater is especially grating when people who make the sausage have to listen to zealous managers brag about how the process is the source of all of their success. Since they don’t know where the success comes from they don’t see it leave the building to be appreciated somewhere else.

The second time it was my circus, my clowns, someone had divided the backend and front end people into different groups and it was a shitshow.

Bernard Berenson is only very briefly mentioned in the article, but he's an interesting figure in his own right. He is credited with introducing and popularizing the idea of authenticating paintings by the artist's characteristic style, and helped Gardner acquire much of her collection. He owned a villa outside of Florence, the Villa I Tatti, and left it to Harvard in his will – the university still owns it to this day, and even produces a small vintage of wine from its vineyards.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Berenson

There's also a nice article about Berenson (sadly paywalled) here:

https://newcriterion.com/issues/2013/12/bernard-berenson-rev...

It starts with one of my favorite Berenson anecdotes:

An amusing story used to circulate in Florence in the late summer of 1944, a few months before the Allied armies of General Clark pushed the Germans northwards to ultimate defeat. Bernard Berenson, who had been in hiding for over a year, was finally able to walk again along the picturesque country lanes of Settignano that he knew and loved so well. On the first day out, a United States Army vehicle stopped alongside the diminutive, bearded, and impeccably attired gentleman. A G.I. leaned out and, in dreadful pidgin Italian, asked for directions. Mr. Berenson obliged, but naturally in the subtly nuanced and inflected phrases for which his English was famous. Stunned, the G.I. asked: “Hey, buddy, are you American?” When Berenson politely confirmed that he was, the soldier could hardly believe it — “Then what’ you doin’ in a dump like this?”

I have a lot of experience implementing software for a heavily regulated industry. The first challenge is, because of the legal architecture -- go study and diff the legal code for each of the 50 states to implement a tool like this, also, track all the updates to those laws.

I wouldn't be surprised by DocuSign's involvement as you describe, we have the same corruption in every industry, justified always by the same excuse "They're the experts! Who else would we (congress) ask?" I don't believe the ignorance of the massive conflict of interest in this approach is a coincidence but I digress.
Educator here.

AI has really quickly been changing how assignments have to be crafted. In the last couple of years apps like photomath have made the old school approach of teaching math with a lecture on how to do something followed by practice homework problems pretty much useless since students can so easily just have the computer do the problems (complete with showing work for them).

From messing around with ChatGPT a bit, it looks like things like writing essays/book reports/poems for English classes will be going the same way as soon as someone packages it up nicely.

It's going to be a rough transition, but I hope one for the better. I'm not sure about what that will look like for gen-ed classes, but in my CS class, I try to embrace tools like this. Instead of worrying about getting students to memorize boilerplate and algorithms, I try to teach them to research and how to glue things together.
