No, it's just amusing how hypocritical you are. You can be a designer and a developer, but nobody else can?

You:

> Developers shouldn't expect themselves to be able to do good design work

Also you:

> Having worked as a professional software developer in a reputable development organization for over a decade with steady advancement before I decided to go to school for design is a good enough indicator for me.
> Why is health care any different from Food, Shelter, Transportation, or any other thing we require but have to pay for in the market?

It's not. Most or all first world countries have some form of social net that attempts to ensure people don't go hungry. Homeless shelters exist and many of us in Europe agree that governments should do even more to provide a better safety net and help people get back on their feet.

> The idea that it is barbaric to charge for healthcare does not pass even a first pass logic test.

I don't think anyone implied that it's barbaric to charge for healthcare. What's barbaric is people being denied preventative care because they're unemployed or don't have hundreds of dollars to go to the doctor.

> It is far far far far from free, taxpayer funded is not free.

Of course the visit is free. Universal healthcare as a service costs money to fund, but you're not charged to use the service.

> Most of those nations also look to the US protect the world

You should look up the map of US military bases and think critically about what the US is getting in return - the ability to respond to threats originating almost anywhere in the world, for one.

> personally I would support moving to more of a medicare for all if (and only if) we go in to full isolationism and let the EU defend themselves

Good news - you don't need to spend more as you're already outspending every country that has universal healthcare by around a factor of 2. Unsurprisingly, the supposed "free market" healthcare system isn't very efficient in practice.

> that is with out getting into all the problems with EU, UK, or Canada Health systems (wait time, rationing, etc). Lots of rich people come to the US from those nations for care for a reason

These healthcare systems aren't perfect by any stretch of the imagination but at least they're fair. Pointing your finger at queues and wait times is easy when you conveniently ignore basic needs of a large proportion of the population.

As an outsider looking in, the tone-deaf "fuck you, I've got mine" attitude is what I find barbaric about the US healthcare system. It reinforces the fact that the value of human life is exclusively measured in US dollars. Either you're wealthy enough to pay or you deserve to go without healthcare (and possibly die) as a matter of personal failure rather than a systemic one.
Can't edit comments that old, but I feel like my first sentence was perfectly appropriate given the parents appeal to authority ("I built telecommunications systems / software for some time").
Senior pilots expect to have more choice in their routes and schedules. Junior pilots expect to have no choice.
Suicide is not euthanasia. Assisted suicide is not euthanasia either. Forbidding people from killing themselves is just weird. Who are you to decide what I can do with my life?
No, see, this is the key difference: Right now, they can only get my biometrics if I travel to the US, which I don't. With automated access they can just guzzle up all the data of all the people and use it for whatever. We've seen what they do if they can get their fingers on data. They use it. They spy on anyone and everyone, from politicians of allied countries to normies like me and you. I don't want that.

Luckily, my country does not even have my biometrics in a database that the US could be querying.

I'm just glad because that's going to end the longstanding misconception that phones are connected to satellites. They will finally be.
They write articles about things there is demand to read about. Nobody knows the name of the CEO of Chevy let alone holds a deep seated hatred of the idea of him they’ve developed through reading various clickbait articles. It’s a cyclical system. Clickbait leads to hatred leads to demand leads to clickbait. It’s a fantastic way to make money as a media company. You generate your own demand through supply. As long as you’re clever and choose a good target which in 2022 is usually just a white male billionaire.
Are there any text editors that have MDI? I know TDI is really popular, but I prefer the classic windows 3.0 way of embedded document interfaces.
Readwise Reader has completely changed the way I consume articles/PDFs/ebooks and annotate, especially with the Ghostreader (AI/LLM) feature. Easily my favorite app of the year - will be even better if/when an offline mode comes out.

Also Explainpaper and Elicit for research papers - hard to go back to the 'old' days after using all 3 of these.
GM have been doing really well with both the crossover Bolt and the Cadillac Lyriq. I’d happily buy either of them over a Tesla.

Ford has the Mustang and the Lightning.

I’ve seen all of these on the roads recently. As many, if not more than I see Teslas. I am not in California where Tesla probably has a locational advantage due to the infrastructure being better for EVs.

Thinking Tesla is the only company investing in electric is insane. GM and Ford’s body panel alignment embarrasses these Teslas too.
Some of these may not be bugs. For example, I actually prefer this:

> Mail now loses the mailbox selection when you start a search, instead changing the selection to All Mailboxes, which is rarely the scope that I want.

This one isn’t new to Ventura. This happened all the time to me as far back as Big Sur:

> External drives still take minutes to mount or sometimes never mount automatically. Sometimes I can manually mount them from Disk Utility. Other times I need to reboot or disconnect other drives first.

The real question is, has the author opened Feedback Requests about these things? If not, don’t expect them to get fixed any time soon.
Reminds me of this joke:

A man and his son get into a horrible car crash. The man is killed instantly, and the boy is taken to the hospital for emergency surgery. The surgeon takes one look at the boy and says, "Oh my god! This is my son!"

Then the car crashes into the operating room and kills everyone.

How is this possible?

Answer: It was a Tesla in FSD mode.

But in all seriousness, thank you for your feedback.
I understand that a phone can receive a cellular signal from a satellite. But how can it transmit to a satellite given its limited transmission power (2-3 watts max)?

super useful, just what I needed! Thanks!
I'm curious why people are so quick to dismis evidence of Jesus as contained in the gospels.

From POV, we have between 4 and 6 (depending on your cannon) different people that record first hand records of Jesus. And it turns out that these same people were passionate followers of Jesus. What other response would you expect from someone who actually knew someone who actually died and was brought back to life?
It was on the NTK email list (UK-based tech newsletter) in the late 90s / early 2000s - http://www.ntk.net/ - when people had limited bandwidth on their dial-up connections. Possibly more of a principle along the lines of "save the pennies and the pounds look after themselves" but I remember it clearly.
That segmented MMU was pretty useless. And, yes, there was the 68020 machine with the separate MMU. You could run a variant of Unix, called A/UX, on it. It was really slow.

I've coded for the original MacOS. Yes, it was DOS-like at the OS level. No threads. No processes. No CPU dispatcher. A collection of interrupt driven hacks to allow a little bit of asynchronous processing by registering callbacks. Like you'd do on an Arduino today.
Facts can’t be racist. You know this. This seems like a weakly worded ad-hominem.
These aren't "basically the job of a CTO". Thing (1) is part of the portfolio of a product manager; things (2), (3), and (4) are bread-and-butter engineering management work. Maybe you want to be an EM, maybe you want to be a PM.

In my experience, there are two kinds of "CTO" titles in the industry: the kind given to a principal cofounder who doesn't want to manage people, and the kind given to a principal of any sort when they have their git access taken away and are asked take calls with big customer prospects all day. If you want to be the former kind, start a company; the latter, reevaluate.
>Social media amplifies rage

Sometimes social media can make things falsely exaggerated. But often, it just seems that way, when really it's just that more people are saying something in a more visible way. That's amplification, but not in the "false" sense.
I forget where I read it, but whenever I think of lenders in this situation I remember the quote, "When you owe the bank 10$, that's your problem. When you owe the bank a million dollars, that's the bank's problem."

Or something like that.
Lithium is widely known about, the real challenge is getting it.

I'm not worried about the abundance of lithium, it is the speed at which we can get it that is the issue. One can still have a shortage even if there is an abundance of potential materials. And starting new mines is a long process. The quickest I have ever seen a decent mine come online from initial approval is 8 years.

Materials we should worry about long term in terms of total volume would be stuff like Cobalt, Nickle and Graphite. But not in the next decade.

A big part of the whole issue of mining is something I always have to bring up to some folks. There are four ways to categorize in which a material is available.

The is the resource, how much we theorize is available. Lithium is a great example, there is loads of the stuff.

There are the reserves, how much we actually know exists. Where it is, what grades etc. This is always lower than the resource.

There is if it is technically extract able. Do we have the technology to get it out? What good is a reserve if it is 200KM under ground? The total of this is always less than the reserves.

And finally, what is economically viable. Say we can still get the materials, are people willing to pay for it? This is my big argument against mining asteroids. This is always less than what is technically extract able.

Once you past through those 4 gates then we can start talking. Don't just talk strategy, talk logistics. It is boring an dirty but it is were the rubber meets the road.

The abundance argument is the same used for silicon and solar panels. Yes it is everywhere but there is a reason we mine quartz rather than just boiling up random patches of dirt to get the stuff.
>This is, in fancy language and snowed under by enumeration of historical research, math and science, an argument that "computers can never have a soul".

Yep. It is amazing to me how often this argument is presented by people who seem, and probably imagine themselves to be, rational. It's always disguised under several layers of definitions so that the key argument -- that humans are magic -- is obscured.
>Their scams are purposefully asinine. It's not profitable to spend time and effort into tricking the wise into an unwise act. It's far more profitable searching for the unwise to act in kind. So when you throw your hands up asking "Who would fall for that!?" The answer is typically: Someone who'd be willing to buy a gift card or share bank account info. This contradicts your last point that a given locale is more or less likely to be scammed given the native language.

You're severely underestimating the success rate of these calls.

> Typically it's $20 here, $100 there. Again, volume

This is perplexing, even the gift card scams don't target such low amounts. The only logical conclusion is that we're talking about completely different kinds of scams.

The kinds of scams targeting amounts you speak of tend to be slightly less obvious ones, selling bullshit services and actually running credit cards. These operations often aren't even necessarily criminal, beyond perhaps the spammy part.

> You hear about the big "wins" a lot (Grandma scammed for 50k+) but those are outliers.

Nah, those are the bulk of this $10B figure. Tricking a grandma to install teamviewer and emptying her account isn't much of a challenge.
Why do you think it’s hamfisted to use she? It doesn’t make their comment any less clear, and there are many female CEOs around the world
It's always been funny to me that cartoon "acid" seems to be more characteristic of a strong oxidizing agent than an acid!
It's mostly because

> Speakon connectors are rated for at least 30 A RMS continuous current

1/4 is still used in places (I have not too old guitar amp with one), but main benefits are:

* No exposed metal

* Higher current rating

* Unidirectional. Can't put output to output.

* Locking connector.

Especially the last one, you don't want random pull to remove a connector easily, especially on events where you can't control everything going on.

The fact it's different than the rest is just cherry on top. Actually, with lower power (say tens of watts) you probably wouldn't even damage anything but speak-ons are near-ubiquitous on "big boy" stuff with few KWs of power
This isn’t correct. Chatgpt doesn’t provide links to statistics or info on other resources. It just says reporting statistics is unhelpful.
deduplicating backup tools use a symmetric approach: all archives needing some chunk (piece of data) reference it via its chunkid (the keyed hash over the chunk plaintext content).

so you can delete ANY backup archive without influencing any other backup archive. a chunk will be only deleted if nothing is referencing it any more.

also, each backup is logically a FULL backup (it has ALL files, references ALL content data). it is just made in a clever way, avoiding to re-transfer data that already is present in the backup repository, thus it FEELS like incremental (considering speed, amount of CPU and I/O used).

OTOH, full/incremental style backup tools build a chain of incremental archives depending on the previous incremental and the full backup, which gets more fragile the longer the chain gets.

because of that and also because you might want to delete older backups at some time, you are forced to create new full backups regularly (causing lots of CPU and I/O load).
There are dozens of tools marketed specifically for this (search “phone port cleaner” on Amazon) but I’ve had the best luck with a pushpin.
Thanks for your work on bupstash.

To second this, there are some threat models that are often overlooked with backups. Separating the encryption and restore keys makes sense, and is a design pattern few of the modern new backup tools offer - bupstash and duplicacy are the two that spring to mind which support asymmetrically encrypted backups.

The recent lastpass issue shows the importance of keeping the backup decryption keys offline and inaccessible. A headless server with backup script can upload backups, but if someone can access the script and backups, they have the golden goose (users' vaults).

Most other backup tools don't give you the ability to separate out creating and retrieving backups.

Separate moan - very few of the backup tools that use s3 style buckets give a proper description of the IAM security model you should use - I like to understand what object prefixes are used, and what the absolute minimum I require is, as I like to start from minimum privilege - PutObject, GetObject on an index or config file, and nothing else if I can avoid it!

Hopefully we see more focus on backup security after lastpass.
Surprisingly the trade to GDP ratio is quite low for the US. And a good chunk of that trade is with Canada and Mexico.

AIUI, a "gene pool" is much more of a thing with sexually reproducing organisms, where mutations either quickly spread across the gene pool, or they get diluted out, because you keep mixing everything together every generation. However, with bacteria, you just have both old and new bacteria each doing their thing.
Your understanding of modern Mormon culture and their modern ethical inclinations does not change history.

Any religion such as hinduism with their caste-based discrimination and mormonism with their skin-color-based discrimination is in their correct place when found in disrepute.

Please inform yourself before standing for such shameful and unethical/immoral belief system.
Thanks, I figured this was the case - was kind of a tongue-in-cheek question as it's pretty obvious that if a place like Norway can have such huge EV penetration, then they can't be all that of a struggle in the cold!
Has the Juicy Lucy migrated east yet?
The System Preferences redesign was a huge red flag. This OS is a Lion, no thanks.
You are correct, but technology generally necessitates an almost ideological commitment to optimism. Therefore I blame the subject matter instead of myself.
Unfortunately, this issue lowers the bar for exploiting a months-old vulnerability.

The older ongoing problem is that any person can create a new Experian account with a new email address, and answer a few credit-related quiz to take over somebody's credit file. When doing this Experian will helpfully even offer to unlock the credit file and you can reset security questions etc. All without the consent of the victim. All the "security" systems are bypassed.

This new vulnerability means you need even less information to take over somebody's credit/identity. You can get the answers to their quiz directly from Experian's own systems. That makes it a bigger deal.
I told you earlier you were planning on banning me :)
Yes, I've even had them spoof law enforcement phone numbers, we should have the technology to shut that down
The Mac really pioneered square pixels (at least for consumer machines). Reportedly, some wanted them for the Lisa, as well, but, as the Lisa was behind schedule and working perfectly with non-square pixels already, the Lisa was denied this luxury. (One may also argue that in an office environment the horizontal resolution may have been more important than square pixels, which would have come at the cost of a third of the horizontal resolution. As usual, no free lunch…)
Not all of the homes are subject to the ROI cap. The homes with ROI caps are sold at 50% of FMV, so the carrying cost is significantly lower than if you pay full price.
> When 1 in 20 people die from MAiD...

The ideal situation is not 0% of people dying from MAid, it's 100%.

We are all going to die. The choice is not dying vs not dying, it's dying after a horrible and interminable agony while in the hands of hostile nurses vs dying fast and without suffering.
By the end of the 1st century we encounter a small group of devoted followers passing along a relatively consistent body of teachings that they assign to a concrete individual who would have died within living memory.

Leaving all supernatural claims aside, assuming that such an individual really existed does seem a more plausible explanation than the idea that it was all fictional.

It also helps explain many other elements in the gospels. For example, a purely mythical narrative would have him come straight from Bethlehem as prophesied. Instead, the gospels report that he comes from the unimportant village of Nazaret (likely true) and then feel the need to add the (fictional but lovely) Christmas narrative to have him fulfil the prophecies.

Incidentally, these questions are not uncommon at all in ancient history, see also for example the Socratic problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_problem
It's so horrible. They probably think that they're helping atheists by sending them to the afterlife early. But what if the atheist is right and when you die, your last moment alive becomes frozen in your consciousness forever.
It would be odd if Musk's antics had no effect on the desirability of the Tesla brand, given that EVs primarily appeal to environmentally aware progressives.

Perhaps that's the reason why Tesla is offering big discounts right now.

Too many people willing to clear willy-nilly to make a buck around.
Possibly low demand for this because of the country, not a high income country to spam, scams or steal identities.
Mine was activated (sardines, not almonds) - I’m pretty sure I only want activated ingredients from now on.
I looked at the Caldigit but had some reservations based on online reviews. Ultimately a coworker recommended a Dell WD19S and specifically said to look for one on eBay - took about a week of hunting and bidding but I scored one for about half retail and have been quite happy with it, it just works all the time. The laptop in question is a Dell xps13 running Ubuntu 20.04.
Odd that it's not mentioned in the article as this is probably the most ambitious proposal in this area.
Is it even legal for the DOD and NASA to build their own hardware in-house?
Of course it doesn't say that explicitly-- are you unfamiliar with the purpose that the Washington Post serves?

You think because one pipeline survived that it was intentional? After all of the US disasters in the Middle East you somehow still believe in its omnipotence?

And one pipeline surviving means little when the new pipelines that were destroyed had much better economics for Russia (and Germany, for that matter).
Yeah that model is likely why when I schedule direct flights months in advance I get my flight rescheduled for multi stop flights, often with absurdly short layovers of 15 minutes (who is going to mark that flight?).

It was a pain so much I stopped flying them. I’d buy a ticket and have to babysit it so that a flight from noon to 6pm didn’t morph over several changes into a multi stop marathon from 8am to 9pm…..
This is a super narrow pessimistic viewpoint that is rife with agenda pushing. We do not know if the wealthy years of the 20th century are over yet. Neo-feudalism is possible, but unlikely to be the same conditions as the middle-ages standard of work until you drop dead.

Not every single problem in society is fixed by getting off fossil fuels. "Decoupling" the economy from fossil fuels will not be a magic solution in this case.
Mao received oodles of support from the USSR, the Long March was the Reds fleeing northward to where they could still get that support, and then being able to punch further East.

The KMT was also a revolutionary force (against foreign domination), and initially preferred by Moscow for practical reasons - the USSR would at that time only support a joint command.

Mao became leader of the Reds because the Chinese Red's intelligence officer who was their contact with the USSR and held the codes for that defected to Mao from the previous leader (who wasn't going to admit to defeat by the KMT.) After that, the money etc could only to go to Mao, since he was the only point of contact the USSR then had with the Reds.

Post WWII Soviet support, esp military material support became very large indeed, allowing the Reds to crush the KMT.

But it wasn't helpful for either side to reveal the connections; better to portray the revolution as a mass movement of the peasants and workers than show all the gears and wheels.

Mao spent plenty of time and effort downplaying everything the USSR had done for him and in massive spats with the USSR, for his own political reasons. Just as Lenin didn't credit the massive support the Germans had given him, to undermine the Czar.
