Plenty of people were saying crypto was nonsense for a long time.

Yeah it sucks average Joe's got suckered. I feel the pain.

But every generation brings a new group of greedy people that fall for get rich quick schemes, and they all usually learn there ain't no thing as a free ride the hard way. People like this won't listen to the warnings. "Have fun staying poor".

I'm sorry there's collateral damage. But people like this are going to get conned somewhere. Best these people learn a lesson, then they can be smarter with the rest of their lives.

Yeah, the media was all hype. Well guess what, the media isn't reality folks. And they're certainly not looking out for you. More timeless lessons to learn. Be careful who you trust.

Based on every single claimed case of "long covid" among my friends, family and acquaintances coming from people I already knew to be paranoid hypochondriac nutjobs. Most of them terminally-anxious white women, who've also claimed to have chronic lyme disease, gluten insensitivity, fibromyalgia, and a variety of other trendy self-diagnosed ailments that they stop talking about a few years later when they get bored and diagnose themselves with something new.

Pretending this shit is real only makes it worse for them. They earnestly do suffer, but not for the reasons they claim; it's a sort of mental illness they suffer from.
To be honest, this always made the most sense to me. If they want a non-compete, fine, but it should have money attached because it has value they should pay for.
There are methods to distinguish original text from later insertions and alterations. Paul is generally agreed to be a distinct author writing in the 60s, but with numerous later insertions and alterations, often by Eusebius (or possibly his teacher).

For example, a rant in Thessalonians excoriating Jews for executing Jesus is transparently Eusebius, by several different lines of evidence.

Somebody named Peter could easily exist and be written about without need for a physical Jesus. Lots of cults of the time "had" a Jesus/Yeshua. It was more or less required. Having a live Jesus, and that Jesus actually saying and doing what was very clearly made up decades later, are not the same.

> I'm a bit perplexed tying to figure out how any of these criteria is a reason to choose D over rust

The first one (syntax similarity to the C programming language) is obviously a valid reason to prefer D over Rust for Linux kernel programming (which mostly uses a dialect of C). The other two (interoperability with C programs and high performance generated code) are a necessity for a programming language to be considered for Linux kernel programming (and Rust scores highly on both). So the first criteria would favor D, while the other two would be neutral between D and Rust.

(There probably are other criteria, outside these three, which favor Rust over D, given that Rust support has already been tentatively merged into the Linux kernel.)

Agree. While I'm pretty sure this is to bury the articles in search, that part is probably just technical reasons (or, even more credible, technical laziness).
Bwahah. Folks do hit pieces all the time on companies to do some thing - extract some money (like with Remington), or try to force some change (like the Ukrainians trying to ‘name and shame’ companies to cause a larger chilling effect for suppliers and start folks like TI cracking down on their supply chain).

TI not manufacturing those chips won’t stop Iran using identical chips though. It’s one of many ‘try all the things’ tactics from a belligerent at war. And I can’t blame them for trying. I’m sure it will cause some minor issues here and there for Iran and Russia, and every little bit helps.

It’s still transparent bullshit and manipulation of the public.

The part I have to laugh at is arguments like this that take the manipulation at face value, and go after folks pointing out it’s bullshit on a technical site.

It would be like going on a Gun forum and going after folks pointing out the Remington smear campaigns (or any number of other manufacturers) was transparent bullshit to try to get cash or force them out of business by those ideologically opposed to them.

Like what do you expect but a bunch of folks going ‘that’s bullshit’?

> I'm curious if the dysfunction of British Rail is also related to the patchwork privatization like it is in the US. Is that still a thing? last I read, parts of the network - and/or trains - were owned or operated by a Virgin subsidiary.

Patchwork privatization hasn't helped matters and allows some companies to extract a bit of monopoly profit from a subsidised industry (the infrastructure remains nationalised, franchises are awarded to private companies for running rolling stock in certain regions routes for fixed terms, some companies were really struggling and had their franchises taken over the government and there are other quirks of the franchising system like franchises being required to lease rather than own trains and some services being mandatory to run, and prices are regulated).

But the root cause is that running rail networks is a hard problem: demand fluctuates from hour to hour and decade to decade more than the infrastructure can, optimisations for network efficiency aren't necessarily going to align with individual passengers' demands, when stuff breaks down a well-used part of the network gets cascading problems, governments have lots of other things crying out for more subsidies (and a purely for-profit network would be smaller and thinner).
The UK also has older than average infrastructure and very expensive and occupied land right where new lines are most needed, although other countries are cursed with geography which is more challenging in many other ways

Police are tasked with maintaining law and order.

Laws are equal for all people.

Order is a set of subjective social rules that keeps everything in its "correct" place.

Maintaining order often requires not enforcing the law equally. This is the essential moral difficulty of the police. If you have people who appear poor in a rich neighborhood, they are highly likely to attract law enforcement attention at a minimum. Not because they've broken the law, but because they are out of place and "disorderly".

We really really like order, by the way. You can't just do away with the maintenance of order, although a strong argument could be made that we should not enforce it via state-licensed violence.

This sounds great (as a worker).

I could imagine it poses some risk of gaming the system (ie, have your friends startup fake hire you at 2/5x and use that to bypass noncompete or get a huge raise) - but then the company's out is to not enforce their noncompete (which is essentially what CA enforces) so I think it's a nice "velvet handcuffs" option for employers.
Some insider details as someone who knew some of the Revue team - based mostly in the Netherlands.

The majority of the team was cut in the first wave of Twitter layoffs on 4 November (wrote about this [1]) - when 50% of people were let go. By this time, most of them were working on Twitter's long form tweets, which feature was being tested with customers.

So this decision was indirectly made on the first week of the Twitter takeover. In the end, it was perhaps two people left from the old Revue team. Today, there's only the founder of Revue, who wrote this article, everyone else let go AFAIK.

What was very, very surprising to me is how, a month and a half later, Elon Musk replied to a question on how he's open to the idea of acquiring Substack [2]. But he just shut down Revue, which was exactly "Twitter's Substack" version with all the same features: newsletters, support for paid, plus first-class integration into Twitter that Substack does not have.

I'm only using it in the most basic form (streaming to my roku from my PC), so hopefully someone with more experience with it can chime in here, but I'll do my best.

I saw the software mentioned on reddit a while back, and then I just Googled each product to learn more or download/install it. They are all pretty straight-forward click and launch products with minimal configuration for which you can find guides by a quick search.

Honestly if you already have the content downloaded or don't want to tinker with other software too much, you only need Jellyfin to serve that content. Jellyfin server runs as a service on the device housing your content. This server has a URL that you will provide to whatever device is connecting to it. For me, my home PC is my server. In its most basic form, yes, it uses the same WiFi as your TV. Most home WiFi routers allow communicating with other devices on the WiFi (typically referred to as your "local network") easily.

Serving Jellyfin outside of your local network (e.g. if you wanted to share with extended family across the internet) requires configuring your router for it and that can be a bit more tricky (and poses security risks), but there's a bunch of guides out there that help you do this safely without compromising your local network's security.

When you install Jellyfin, you're presented with a screen asking you to create an admin login. You can then create additional user logins in the software (which launches its UI in your default browser), so you can use it when connecting to it on your network. The way you "consume" it on your TV is through the Jellyfin client software. They have software available for the popular OSes like Windows and macOS as well as phone software for Android and iOS, but also Roku, Android TV, FireTV, etc. Lots of options on how you consume it. My Roku was able to automatically detected it running on my network, so all I had to do was input login info.
Damn, this could substitute for my bicycle commute. I could just walk the distance in the same time. That would be sick. But I don't want to try at $1.4k
Might want to double check the text of the noncompete. I've never worked anywhere that forbade converting. Rather, it was to stop permatemps from hopping vendors when they inevitably found out some of them pay more for the same work, or from offering the client the same services and entering into competition with the vendor.

Not sure what emissions you are thinking about from an electric car that needs regulation circuits. You know, the thing I'm talking about. (And that I'm still claiming could end up vastly simpler than ICE cars if we only tried).

Its an interesting notion. If you can control the sum of all scientific sponsorships surely you will be able to control the subjects of research. And yes in 1940 30 million would surely go a long way to do this but it is 2023 and there are thousands of bodies offering research grants, usually chaired by senior members of academia that mostly tend to contribute indirectly any way.

I think the slowdown in physics we are witnessing today has not much to do with this effect and more to do with pragmatic aspects like capitalism and the next order of magnitude in complexity that we need to master to make headway.

EDIT: clarity
That's not charitable, that's deluded. There's nothing charitable about giving you an inferior product in the name of a hope that at some point in the future, other things will be done just as poorly.
One of the FAANGs tried to get me, as an independent contractor, to sign a non-compete that exactly described my business. And they wanted a multi-million dollar indemnification for work that amounted to 2+2=4. As in, no one owns the work result, it's a discovery of facts about how the world works. At first they suggested I needed to sign the agreement before they'd pay my invoice, but then quickly paid it and nixed further work planned. I was not going to sign something so blatantly lopsided. Not everyone is in a position to do that though.

If they look to California's noncompete ban as an example, leaving your company to compete with them would be fine, but double-employment could still be restricted (because they can just fire you).

> I would agree these are system-wide less efficient, but shouldn't paid "garden leave" be legal if parties agree upfront?

“Garden leave” is basically just being in paid employment with no duties.

Neither the FTC action nor state policies like those in California generally prohibit noncompetes while employed.

However, if the compensation for such a contracted “garden leave” was substantially less than normal full-time comp for the employee, and agreed prior to employment rather than as a separate independent agreement at the end of the employment-with-duties, I can imagine the FTC still seeing it as an unfair competition practice, and state courts, limiting recovery for breach to any “garden leave” compensation for the time in breach.
You don't need to upgrade everything at once. Yes, modern high-end GPUs are ridiculously expensive. But my $200-5-years-ago RX480 is also still holding up just fine. It's still more expensive than it ought to be, but I can find it used for around $80 these days.

Our company created HR and the result was surprisingly positive. The hiring process started to be way more organized - they made no decisions, but planned interviews, made sure they are when everyone is available and knows about them.

They were also available to explain labor laws, regulations and process whenever leader/manager needed it. That alone made a lot of stuff more predictable.

I was skeptical at first, but it was definitely an improvement.
