Didn't know earthquakes don't want news printed... Had to type it because it sounded funny in my head.

About news, we just lost that, there is a reason most of human history is full of dictatorships where the peasants/plebs/... get the fantasy version of what's happening, X declared himself king through violence and treachery? Well god put him there of course. etc.

Some can say we had a nice period where newspapers cared about their reputation and you could just pay 50 cents to buy today's paper and know what was happening that day, is this true? probably not, why not? well this assumes everyone working in the press is some sort of angel devoid of greed, fear, etc. which is not the case, people are people: personaly if I had a news paper agency, and saw that some news could be dangerous, I don't think I'll stop it from being printed, but again I think tomorrow I'll wake up early and workout, and I think that I'll continue learning and working hard to build something, will I do it? well I think so, statistically will I do it? No, I'm human, we are failible, etc.

Today on the other hand it's a total shitshow, the news today is just comedy to anyone who's not totally gullible, why? the internet happened, natural selection killed those who stuck to the truth and promoted those who went with clickbait, natural selection also killed those who ran out of money and promoted those who accepted investments from X and Y... For example, did you know the Gates foundation (not a tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist by the way you can verify this yourself) basically owns Kurzgesagt? Most research papers Kurzgesagt uses are published by subsidiaries of the Gates foundation and they donated to them many times so they basically own them, what if I was Kurzgesagt and I was married and had kids and I had a choice between accepting free money from a well respected foundation who does good research as far as I know, and my channel failing and my wife and kids suffering the consequences, would I refuse the money? of course not do you think I'm stupid?

Whose fault is that? well it's the system's fault, the internet is just more stimulating, and as humans, we don't give a shit about the news, we used to watch it to feel empathy, sadness, happiness, etc. now you can feel a diluted version of most feelings by visiting a porn website, a gore website, a social media website, etc. We didn't care about the Israel - Palestine conflict, which is basically an Apartheid, and we didn't care about bombing a country for oil and killing a million people, why would we start caring now about the elections, politicians being corrupt, etc... ?

If we can improve the system, aka build a protocol for the news, we can have something better, but how do you build a protocol for the news, Bitcoin was a protocol for cryptocurrencies, it needed people to spend computing power to get coins, how will a news protocol work? something that can't be controlled by X or Y, can't be faked, closest stories to reality get the most attention, etc.. is something like this even possible? who knows...
Whenever a stranger talks to me, I think they’re about to accuse me of something.

> It's not a problem to everyone. For example, it's not a problem to many homeowners that the value of their homes keep going up and to the right

"Increasing price of cars during pandemic not an issue for people who already have cars."

Yes, people are upset that the government pushes policies that hurt people, and that make no sense generationally (intentionally targeting rising property values is just a generational ponzi scheme).

If your stance is apathy or even pleasure upon seeing the suffering caused by bad policy, it's no wonder you're being downvoted.
I also got downvoted for giving my opinion on self driving, so I guess that's the reason.
Maybe stop taxing any of it...
Greg was also a US attorney in the southern district for 12+ years, and special counsel for the US for 2 years in 2017 before he went back to davis again (IE davis->us attorney->davis->us attorney->davis)

That is a more interesting conflict than the Davis-Polk one to me, since he likely worked directly with the office handling the case.

Outside of that, he was at Davis since 1999.

There is simply no sane argument that, essentially anyone his quite-large firm worked for (without him even knowing about it), since 1999 should cause his wife to recuse.

It violates no ethical rules, opinions, cases, or what have you. Judges have stricter ones too, and it doesn't violate or even come close to appearing to violate any of them.

It would be laughed out of appeals.

i've not yet seen any convincing argument here.

As such, i maintain she probably did this because she didn't want the case.
I remember this. Before the files were released, I seem to recall that there were some people who surreptitiously got some scanning equipment into the museum and scanned the artifact without permission, and published the result:

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:d86dc5d56479a89074af1c3365a3b7d3d1404fb2&dn=NefertitiHack3D.stl
Something situational. "This is a pretty good party! X always seems to do a good job getting interesting folks together."

Start small, work up. Don't start with a long story. Maybe skip the questions, which obligates the other to come up with something, making them uncomfortable. Make a statement about something neutral, or about yourself. See if it gets a response. No? Move on.
> recalling the night Trump won in 2015

This doesn't really impact the point you're trying to make, but the election was in 2016, not 2015.

Why do you think I moved there myself? The jobs didn't exist anywhere else. Thankfully that's changing. If you are a valuable employee, one trick you can do is after working at a company for a year ask them to let you work remotely. If you are good they will let you.

Additionally, I think companies and investors are catching on. If I give a company $100 million I don't want $10 million to go to avoidable state income taxes and another $20 million to go into landlord pockets via inflated rent prices (commercial and residential), I want it to go into the business.
Can you define what exactly open source means in that case?
hyperbole like "unlivable" needs to be expanded. The obvious California problems of expensive and homeless don't make it unlivable.
> It's not a problem to me, that's the point.

We get it, you don't care about anyone else, only yourself. This was already clear from your previous comments.
Perfect competition can never exist. There is no scenario where market participants (which make the market) will each have perfect knowledge and act perfectly upon that knowledge.

Along with sometimes being smart or hard working, people are also sometimes lazy, dumb, irrational, careless, destructive, and so on. The point being, there is a wide variety and they bring their messy contributions to the market, which makes for a very messy market. There can never be perfect anything. It's not even a good theory, it's garbage, it would only work in a simplistic simulation with no chaos.

Perfection competition theory is incorrect, badly flawed in a similar manner, as the efficient market hypothesis [1].

I don't agree that was enough of a reason to drop them. An attacker getting access to your dev environment, even if you're one of the largest security focus endeavours, is pretty much an inevitability. Someone's gonna get access to one of your engineers macbooks, no matter what.

The thing that's bad, is that apparently their developers have access to (backups off) production data. That implies that their security infrastructure is not different from regular startups at all so all of their marketing is just bullshit. They didn't sacrifice developer productivity for security on this point, so they can't be trusted to have sacrificed anything for security at any point.
I think right now is exactly where I want weed to be in society: a taboo, not normalized in the mainstream, you get in trouble if you’re stupid with it, but otherwise if you’re just an occasional user you can get it just fine. This is pretty much perfect to me.

What I don’t want is broad normalization of it. Maybe some cultures do just fine with that, but the trend is America has been to maximize the individual liberty without any concept of duty or decency to others, and the obvious consequence is rampant abuse and widespread degeneracy that everyone is subjected to whether they consent to it or not. In other words, I don’t think we’re mature enough as a society to have easy access to the cookie jar without deciding to eat cookies for every meal. Walk through the streets of NYC or SF to see what I mean. People don’t give a shit about anyone but themselves, and giving them more tools to be self indulgent while avoiding social responsibility + spewing externalities is just a no-go at the moment.

I imagine a world with legal weed is a lot like a world with legal porn: it’s everywhere, even children get exposed to it insanely young, people treat it like “a human right” and so fight any reasonable restrictions made to curb the broader social effects, and the externalities hit everyone whether they like it or not.

Not every vice needs to be legal. Keep it illegal and weaken enforcement. Keep it a taboo, and for those who really need it they can still find it.

And for the record: I have edibles at home. I’m not against responsible weed use at all, I just don’t think society at large will be responsible users and I don’t want to live in a society full of that. Porn went through the exact same evolution as weed is and now it’s everywhere
Subjective, absolutely.

Meaningless, no, because we're hairless chaos apes living in hives of other hairless chaos apes and plenty of our fellow apes live their lives based on this subjective measure which means it needs to be considered in governing and managerial decisions.
My life does not depend on it, so if it fails, I will lose money for sure but that's fine, won't be the first nor the last time. Labor is cheap and I want to try.
The problem is the process of producing it (manufacture) and selling it (commerce), are inextricably tied to Interstate commerce, thanks to some stupid case about how wheat grown for intra-state non-commerce is inextricably still covered by Federal jurisdiction because that intra-state non-sale effects the interstate market.

I kid you not. Link below, read it.

The same logic that is applied to making production of fully automatic weapons for personal use a no-no in a State that explicitly allows it is the exact same legal logic that makes THC prosecutable at will by the Feds.

You can't take out one without taking out the other, because they both stem from the most abusable pieces of jurisprudence ever admitted to the U.S. code.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickard_v._Filburn

Enjoy. If you are a U.S. citizen, this is the case that basically gave the Feds carte blanche to drop in on anything because of whatever tenuous excuse the judges/DA's in question decided to apply to link it to Interstate Commerce.

I have come across few cases that make me scream more than Wickard v. Filburn.
I'd argue that writing is less about syntax or grammar and more about storytelling (whether technical or nontechnical, fiction or nonfiction). You're conveying an idea or mental image to a reader, who then has to interpret and filter it through their own experiences and imagination in order to give it meaning. That requires a high degree of empathy on your part, a combination of your own lived experiences and imagination, to be able to estimate how your reader is likely to read and respond to a sentence or paragraph.

If you get every punctuation mark right but don't have a single worthwhile thing to say, nobody is going to care that you're technically proficient. Nobody will even notice; they'll just move on to a less boring text. On the other hand, you can tell a perfectly good story even with a ton of misspelled words and malformed sentences. For example, the old novel Flowers for Algernon has large parts written in that style.

To that end, I don't think reading a bunch of technical manuals on "proper" English is anywhere near as helpful as just reading a lot of good books (browse bestseller lists, or classic literature, or Goodreads lists, and find a genre that appeals to you or a writer whose prose you enjoy). Then, to further your own writing, you just HAVE to keep writing and writing and writing AND get feedback. Take a writer's workshop course (medium or larger towns usually have a bunch; check your local newspaper or bookstore corkboard), or take a creative writing course at a local community college. No amount of self-study beats having twenty other people from various backgrounds give you feedback on your writing, specifically. It is horrifying to be so vulnerable, but it's the only way you'll know how your work resonates (or not).
Sometimes the solution is obvious. The real mystery is how we let folks get to college without any opportunity to practice social situations.

I've been self-hosting Zimbra for around 10 years, but if I were to start today I'd probably use Mailcow. I like having a good webmail. I have multiple work/personal domains and I like keeping them in separate tabs/containers.

Self-hosting email isn't hard if you know the basics, and there are lots of resources online. Not like, say, self-hosting asterisk, which is a bit more of a pain (and I also do, reluctantly, but I barely use it, webrtc+asterisk is useful).

Having access to mail logs has been very helpful for various things. I also have aliases that connect to various (self-hosted) Gitlab projects for work, where we use service-desk.

I know that for most companies, self-hosting does not make sense financially, but our company does not make a ton of money, my time is fairly cheap (a few hours a year), and having control on the infra means we don't have to worry about how many seats/licenses we have, we can just do whatever we want.

Quite often, working with other companies, we end up having these artificial barriers because they can't afford to create an account for me on their issue tracker. So now we have a dozen companies using our systems, because it's all setup, it just works, and no artificial barriers, just a bit of disk usage and good backups.
They gave it to another GV user without warning, within 24 hours of its last use.

@mixins are built-in in Sciter and I don't know any other HTML/CSS UA that supports that.
Interesting to see so many folks here running Exim. It's my favorite MTA primarily because I find it understandable, it has excellent documentation, and I'm used to it as it used to be Debian's default MTA. I get a lot of folks telling me not to use it due its history of security issues, and recommending something else instead, like a qmail derivative. I'm not sure how I feel about this.
How can one bet on this trend?

There are a lot of profit incentives for corporate media and established players in a lot of industries to smear to Elon. This results in a ton of bad media coverage, and people are a product of the information they consume. Over time this style of coverage embeds itself in people's minds, and we see what we're seeing now: posters that have never met elon, never spoke to him, and never worked with him stating ridiculous opinions about his motivations, his health, and mental status as fact.
That's interesting... what types of statistics is it refusing to provide?
I think overall taxes are undercounted in California because the state taxes absolutely everything. California has the highest income tax and highest sales tax in the US. Throw in the grocery bag taxes, and all the other random taxes in that state you are just paying an absurd amount for nothing.
My big hope for WFH was that it would allow all the people who don't even like the Bay Area to finally leave and bring rents down (reducing demand being the only other way besides building to reduce rents).

I was able to do it consistently for over 3 years. I had a pretty successful strategy and could execute on that strategy using consumer grade trading APIs from Interactive Brokers. I had even extricated luck from most of the equation: ~9:1 profit/loss. It was an arbitrage strategy, so the luck variable became how often I had opportunities arise. I quit not because I couldn't make it work, but because I couldn't handle working alone for such a long time from a mental health perspective.

Here are my caveats:

1) low capacity strategies are the only ones that have a high enough profit/loss ratios but haven't been completely consumed by the hedge funds.

2) Because they are low capacity strategies, you can forget about compounding. Be happy with consistent cash flow.

3) Because they are low capacity, you can only feasibly scale across more products, not with bigger bets. This means that at some point, your connection bandwidth will become a bottleneck, even after you have graduated to professional data brokers. That then translates to a parallelization engineering problem. For me, it never made sense to deal with that complexity. It was better for me to have suboptimal earnings than to try to horizontally scale heterogeneously-active trading systems across servers in a data center.

Once you take into account the caveats, you can make a tech-industry level salary on your own with a lot of work. For some, the freedom may be worth it. For me it was, up until it wasn't.
While I admire the journalistic pieces that display integrity I think those are far too often the exception. Instead news media like all media is just after attention, and that doesn't so neatly align with this quote. The New York Times, the pinnacle of American newsrooms, is ultimately just competing with Netflix as an entertainment platform.
Like most analogies, those fail.

One person's quality of life is not affected in any way by another person having a sofa.

More housing and population density does lead to increased crowding, which some people consider a decrease in quality of life.

We can argue which QOL argument outweighs the other, but it's plain wrong to say that increasing housing has no impact on existing residents.

I think it's the fact that if you took the Rust codebase and forked[1] it to accept new keywords, the resulting language that it accepts is most definitely not Rust.

If you did the same to a C compiler[2], the resulting compiler would still be called a C compiler by everyone.

Is this the same breach that was half-disclosed in November, but there was no response or journalistic follow-up and the reporting researcher was deplatformed? That one was confusing.

- "The news of this more significant data breach comes from security expert Chad Loder, who first broke the news on Twitter and was suspended soon after posting. Loder subsequently posted a redacted sample of this larger data breach on Mastodon."

- "I have just received evidence of a massive Twitter data breach affecting millions of Twitter accounts in EU and US. I have contacted a sample of the affected accounts and they confirmed that the breached data is accurate. This breach occurred no earlier than 2021," Loder shared on Twitter."

- "BleepingComputer has obtained a sample file of this previously unknown Twitter data dump, which contains 1,377,132 phone numbers for users in France."

- "We have since confirmed with numerous users in this leak that the phone numbers are valid, verifying this additional data breach is real."

Sure, I’m not even mostly talking about the harvest. I’m talking about doing everything that needs to be done to keep the trees alive and the place operating.
I had a chance to go through the author's website [0], and it's quite the pleasure! I've always been bit of a historical art nerd, so to know that I can have my own little 3d scans of such amazing pieces of history gives me immense joy.

On other news, now that 3D scanning is becoming pretty commonplace with the iPhone pro LiDAR and apps like [1] or [2], I wonder how long such protests by museums will last before they have to relent as 3d scanning becomes as commonplace as taking pictures of artwork in the museums.

Fast Checksums with Portable SIMD
I experimented with the proposed parallel data type extensions to the C++ standard library. I got impressive performance gains for calculating APFS fletcher checksums without resorting to compiler intrinsics or inline assembly.

Gains were even more impressive when adding some simple loop unrolling: https://jtsylve.blog/post/2022/12/24/Blazingly-Fast-er-SIMD-...
But there are also those of us whose issues aren't life threatening.

Something like sesame should be labeled, but they should permit the "made in a facility that uses <x>" type labeling. I'll take a chance on such things because I know that at worst I'm in for an unpleasant day and it's very unlikely to even do that--my reactions are dependent both on dose and frequency. "Contains sesame"--I'm not touching it. "Made in a facility that uses sesame"--I wouldn't care.

Besides, their definition of "contains" is flawed, anyway. They're obsessed about what the manufacturer puts in, but as far as I can tell there are no rules at all about listing what they fail to take out. Occasionally you see the origin of certain materials listed but that's rare. I've had several encounters with situations where the failed-to-remove ingredient has been an issue for me, but the only cross-contamination I've ever had an issue with was pretty blatant (Chinese wok cooking typically does not wash between dishes. It's hot enough that this isn't a disease threat and such cooking is active enough that there will be no issue of stuck-on food--thus for most purposes this is fine. However, it's just asking for cross contamination between dishes.)

They also permit my #1 nemesis: "artificial flavors". I have no idea which ones I'm sensitive to because they're not individually listed. (Lest you think I'm one of the chemical-phobic nuts, my #2 nemesis is "natural flavors".)
Give us an example. Which password for which email account? :)
Same. The only reason I own is because no service guarantees a car will be in my garage when I need it. If they could offer that, I’d love to pay a service fee rather than own, maintain, buy, sell.

And I think it would be cheaper. The optimal use for a product that is depreciating in value whether you use it or not, is to use it as much as possible. We are paying for our cars for sit in place all day and night.
Came to ask this as well. It seems like a competing solution to the same problem.
This was the case with Rancher being acquired by SUSE. The financials were so out of whack for a normal acquisition but SUSE had a dire need to acquire a k8s company and Rancher wanted to exit and now the board has huge regrets over spending so much on something thats brought so little value to the business!
Pretty much all simulator games have to cheat. Because most of us can't hop into a Formula 1 race car or the cockpit of an F-22 and drive/fly it with no real training. (Much less race other drivers or fight in a dogfight.)
