> El ocio es la madre/padre de todos los vicios

I really don’t like this, because it is a moral view with no real justification (someone gets to decide what a vice is, which is historically a tool of oppression). For example, not that long ago lower-class people having outrageous hobbies such as reading or participating in politics was considered morally unacceptable.

However, there is a kernel of truth in that we need to have some meaning in our lives otherwise we just wither psychologically and then physically. Sometimes being forced to do something (“work”) helps us getting some of that. But the amount of stuff we need to do to live somewhat happy lives varies from person to person. Ultimately, this should be the absolute criterion: the right amount of activity is that which makes us live satisfying lives. Some people need a lot, some do not.
If the laws change, feel free to let us know too - we would love making ten-fold the sales by producing and selling magic mushroom grow kits! ;)

But in all seriousness, psilocybin was banned in 2005 in the UK. We have only sold products which were to be used to help cultivate psilocybin mushrooms to one single customer - an organisation with a special license to do so provided by the Home Office in the UK.
Those grain sized things have pretty high packaging costs in relation to what you are actually buying.
It worked well for my kids tho. Basically, they ended up using correct words and sentence structures in correct situations.
Your body is fooled into thinking it detects rising blood sugars, releasing insulin. But there is no rise in sugar, which might lead to hypoglycemia. At least, that's a plausible hypothesis. I think that has been confirmed in research, but I didn't check myself.

The best areas for solar are hot, those are also likely to be the areas where water supply is the most constrained, so this is definitely a no-go solution
IANAL but my understanding is that agpl requires you to publish server code if that code uses code under agpl, because consuming an api is equivalent to distributing the code.Aka that "calling an api which uses agpl code" is equivalent to using the code itself ( which means you should, as an api consumer, have access to the source eventhough you actually downloaded no binary).

e2e means server never does any encryption or decryption so i don't think they'll have any signal code running on their server.

They will however be required to open source their application code.

Edit : and i think open sourcing twitter app would be a stunning move, that elon is totally capable of.
I suspect that given enough effort and the right circumstances you too could be scammed. And that's pretty much the problem: scammers have near infinite time to set you up, it's their day job after all and you have a limited time to verify their bona fides.
I find that artists and musicians are thrilled to put in time on projects for fair wages. You don't need to be a millionaire. Sweetening it with some share of future revenue is okay if you have a really good idea and (1) are genuinely willing to accept their input, and (2) happy to cut them in on the profit it there is any. I'd never ask anyone to work for free, but I have done a joint project with an artist where we had no budget whatsoever and split the profit 50/50 for code and art. Sometimes those can be the best.

Point being, never consider your idea or even your code more important to the game than artists or their input. You're also paying for their criticism about everything from backgrounds and colors to gameplay issues, which an AI can't give you.
jfc, that manager should be criminally culpable.
Sounds really interesting, thanks you open-sourcing this! Some screenshots or Denis would have been really appreciated.

Depends on how much you want to do it. If you wanna do full time consulting, sure that's the case.

But a part-time consulting gig on the side, when you've been working for 10+ years and have a solid network? In that case, you can often find opportunities in your network, if you're looking.

Basically, if anyone you know is taking a C-level position in a funded startup, for example, they might very often need help with all sorts of different things and would be willing to pay.

Similarly, any time someone reaches out on linkedin with a job, tell that you're happily employed on not planning on moving, but that you would be interested in helping them on a part-time consulting basis. Done.

Just outside East Lansing there's a shopping mall. Across from it a few years back a real estate developer built a half dozen houses that resembled New York City Brownstones. They were very well equipped but did not sell.

The developer then offered a brand new Cadillac with the sale of each one. They still didn't sell and the developer couldn't figure out why.

The reason was everyone driving by saw those steep steps and said to themselves they'd be a disaster maintaining in the winter. Eventually after two price drops they were all sold but it took 3-4 years.
I cannot voluntarily not work, and I don’t get to choose who gets the benefits of my work. And I am in a privileged situation because I could lose my work and still pay rent for long enough to find another one, but this is not the case for a vast class of people in western countries. These people are effectively bound to their employer because losing their job means losing their home and means of subsistence.

The world is not black and white, and the fact that a situation is not as absolutely terrible as a sex slave in Mauritania should not shut down any discussion. There are shades of involuntary work.

You could use it to practice already:

1. Ask GPT for a list of 20 A1-level sentences in English.
2. Save them.
3. Try to translate them to Spanish.
4. If you can't use a translation service.
5. Try again the next day.

The only problem is making sure that the AI generates sentences that use the vocab that you don't know, so that you keep expanding it. Not sure how to solve that.

For pronunciation, record yourself repeating after a natie speaker recording, play back and analyze. Make use of phonetic transcription in dictionaries.

I’m sorry - how are we doing a terrible job fixing the issues? We are working solidly to switch Element over to the newly audited vodozemac crypto implementation (https://matrix.org/blog/2022/05/16/independent-public-audit-...), and then implementing both TOFU and client-controlled group membership. https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/fay...

I remember a time when you had to be careful to not reveal your IP address to untrusted peers (e.g. on IRC) because a single specially malformed packet called the "Ping of Death" would reliably crash any internet-connected Windows PC.

That was a wild time. Nobody talked about security back then. The idea that everything in our lives would eventually run over the internet just wasn't on people's minds.
Native speakers have usually zero idea about what is simple word for foreigner. They go by what feels simple for them. But simple for foreigner means "the variant I found in my textbook" and natives have no idea.
Generators and generator expressions are useful every time your api involves an unbounded sequence.

I once wrote a library of signal processing components based on the premise that the raw input signal is such a sequence, and its concrete type was Iterable[np.ndarray] (iterable of chunks of audio signal). Since the signal is unbounded - we just continue sampling from, say, a microphone forever - the types can't involve finite sequences like lists. A general iterable is works here, and then components that transform the sequence are themselves implemented as generators, or if they are very simple, as generator expressions.

Consider the following function for amplifying a signal:

def amplify(signal: Iterable[np.ndarray], a: float):
return (a*chunk for chunk in signal)

You can flip the whole infinite streams interface and talk about "pushing" chunks around, and it's an esthetic choice.

> So they can see I have a phone and a computer?

Yes, and whatever other devices you have on your network. If you have a family that could include information about your kids (even potentially medical information). If you're working on a personal project and decide to make a VM on your own personal computer and temporarily name the VM's hostname "fuckyoudns" while troubleshooting something, your company could see that and potentially build an internal profile on you that could lead to you being fired.

Of course no company would admit to firing you because of that but it plants a seed on their end and if it came down to (2) employees of equal skill and one of them doesn't have aggressively named personal VMs, you're put at a disadvantage for something you did on your own time on a Sunday afternoon while learning more about networking.

You could also flip this and ask if you worked at a physical office and your work machine never left the office, should your employer keep tabs on your local network at home for a typical software development position? Would it be expected for them to demand they install a black box with video, audio and external network capabilities on your home network saying if you don't install this, work access will be suspended and ultimately you'll be fired?

> social status is, by definition, cultural, and cultural values are malleable

Is it? It turns out it's usually easier to tackle "fixed" characteristics coming from biology or physics. Cultural / social aspects are usually near-impossible to change by any single person or group.
I sunk many many 10s or 100s of hours into games like Shining Force, Breath of Fire, Chrono Trigger, Illusions of Gaia, etc.

Now I get bored of games after a few hours :(
After you acquire a certain amount of resources, you’re able to care less about increasing your social status-for what else does “more social status” bring, if not more resources.

I’m unable to avoid thinking back, again and again, as Shohreh Aghdashloo voices Avasarala in The Expanse talking about how they have UBI (Basic) because they can’t provide enough jobs-and if you take it you can’t work.

We’re heading directly there, not as we produce things off-world (for now), but as we automate and head more and more towards post-scarcity. Our current models of microeconomics (and maybe macro, I can’t say) only hold up under a scarce amount of resources. If we somehow let a combination of “not-scarce-resources” plus a level of centralization over control of production and delivery of those not-actually-scarce-to-produce resources, but which cuts out people who don’t do “X” (whatever “X” is), we’re going to have an especially nasty problem.
If the current Atari owns the intellectual property of the original Atari, is that all that different than the current EA being able to trace itself to the original Electronic Arts that made Archon, M.U.L.E., and Pinball Construction Kit? How many of those responsible for creating those early games are still with EA?
It's very very weird. Also seems like they are making it all up based on their assumption of how the internals could fail. Kind of feels like SEO content to me.
It's more like a game than actual learning.... which would be great if it worked. I found myself recognising patterns and subconsciously "cheating" while using that app. Nothing beats full immersion in a language and actual real life teachers.

I moved to Spain a few years ago and Duo Lingo had me thinking I understood loads of things when I really didn't. Not in a real life setting. It is good as a side lesson but not great otherwise at least from my perspective.

The problem is; one needs to get to the point in the hiring process where one gets the chance to demonstrate competence. Before that point, all one has going is what's in the job application. Degrees and work experience can be put in there and have a good chance to be acknowledged by whoever does the hiring.
Just like there are companies who say they are Agile, but they are not, there are teams who think they have Scrum, but it is not Scrum. If you say that Scrum encourages tech debt and you had no autonomy then probably it wasn't Scrum.
The other option is that you were using Scrum where it doesn't fit.

By Pareto principle: 80% of times when I see "The tool X sucks" it is because people are using wrong tool or they are using tool wrong.
Correct, but the lack of enforcement means almost everyone does it, almost everyone gets away with it, and the ones that see everyone else doing it and getting away with it feel compelled doing the same...
With BSD, you're giving every company the right to take your code and use it without returning any favour at all.

With the CLA it's the same. But at least Signal give back by still providing libsignal as free software.

It depends on your motivations for contributing. If you don't like the CLA or any other things, you can still fork. Even if it may not be compatible with your own motivations, it is still in the spirit of free software.

DeepL and Grammarly are probably the only AI-powered tools I am using in an academic context right now.

> The developer has a right to comply with the law in whichever way they see to best fit their needs as a business.

The key point here being "comply with". "Let me track you or you can't use this", confusing or coercive "consent" dialogs etc. don't comply.
But what difference does it make? If I were a scammer I would:

- buy a domain for 20 USD/year and create the corresponding hr@MyNiceAndSeriousLookingDomain.com

- do what the scammer did in the blog post but without grammatical errors (I could even use chatgpt for that) and alway using my custom email address

See. That's easy to fake. If people are willing to pay the scammers, then the grammar errors and proton emails do not matter
Let's assume the scams are coming from North Korea or Cuba or Russia. You really think that there's more pressure the US apply that will make these countries go "you're right we shouldn't let our citizens scam your citizens"

The root issue it archaic payment systems and banks where a check can take 7 days to clear. In this age a bank check should clean in seconds and funds should not be available in your account until it clears. It should be on the bank to not lie to you about funds in your account.
It simply doesn't matter. You can replace the source of electricity of an EV without building a new EV and the emissions will drop.

You can't do the same with a gas powered car.
This is very short sighted. 10 billions people cannot live off the land like that, and the land won’t stay cheap or undefended for long if millions of people suddenly spread out of the cities to do what you say.

We’d just end up with tribes defending their land because isolated people are vulnerable. It won’t solve the issue of involuntary labour, if anything it would make it worse for quite a lot of people as it is easier for leaders of smaller groups to exercise absolute control. We’ve been there before and there is a reason why we ended up in our current situation. The life of the average urban dweller is still better than that of a medieval serf.
Some of them give you the choice between "targeted advertising with tracking, free" and "completely ad-free, paid".

Others give you the choice between targeted advertising and paying for non-targeted advertising, or three choices (free with targeted ads, paid with non-targeted ads, paid a lot with no ads).

Common practice is no indicator for it being legal. Most of the consent dialogs were illegal, it just isn't being enforced.

Exactly. I saw employees who said they have Agile implemented, but for example they were too weak to speak up, take responsibility and pursuit technical excellence. Same with managers: they say they are Agile, but trusting your employees that they will get the job done was a joke to them.

9 (Upi)9 The Ministry of Defense has begun research into a tool that uses artificial intelligence (AI) technology to induce domestic public opinion on social networking sites (SNS), an interview with several government officials revealed.The aim is to create a trend in the Internet space where "influencers" who have influence on the Internet unconsciously transmit information in favor of the ministry, expand support for defense policy, foster hostility toward specific countries in an emergency, and dispel the momentum of anti・war and anti-war among the people.

China and Russia are actively engaged in "information warfare."The Ministry of Defense has determined that Japan also needs to acquire capabilities in this area.The revised security-related 3 document will also include improvements in the ability to respond to information warfare.

I did have internet for most of my youth. Computer games also helped.
I spent last month trying as many things as possible to see what was most desirable. Best paying ended up being trading time for money. In order of most money made:

• workshops
• custom illustration packs
• microcoaching
• online courses
• ebooks
• merch on Etsy
• Upwork gig

I’ll be working on converting residue from time-for-money projects into products. For example, I’m turning my workshops into online courses, my illustration packs into icon bundles to sell as digital products, microcoaching as asynch videos, online courses transcribed into ebooks, and concepts from all of them into merch (coffee mugs, journals, t-shirts) with an ability to mix and match bundles

I started all of this when I got laid off. I ended up needing flexibility to take time off to help my family so can’t see getting a full time job anytime soon. I’m also done working 60-80 hour weeks for startups and can’t figure out a job that pays enough that’s low stress. So scrambling to make this work
Fighting games are also driven to a niche genre due to the amount of "labbing" (training mode to build combos into your muscle memory) is required.
Hmm. I don't live in Germany but drove across a couple times. For one there are speed limits around cities and on busy stretches. They even have dynamically adjusted speed limits on electronic panels.

And two, I've generally seen traffic going at most 160. In a country with an 130 speed limit you can still go 160 if you want. Especially if you know where the speed cameras are.
