> Pre-civilization there was a very strict limit on human populations based on the natural resources they could extract via labor. Anybody who didn't work starved in short order.

Labor is a product of civilization. Hunter-gatherer lifestyle was much less labor intensive than the agrarian lifestyle that followed. Instead of doing the hard work of making the land produce more than it naturally did, hunter-gatherers harvested whatever was naturally available.

In a sense, a hunter-gatherer tribe was like a pre-industrial army. Its size was primarily limited by the amount of food it could steal from the surrounding lands.
Ground fault interrupters are life savers. The minor overhead of figuring out the cause is well worth the price of admission: without them you might not be around to figure anything out.

In the UK, where ground fault interrupters can be part of the sockets it can be hassle, but then again that is strictly optional: in most other countries the ground fault interrupters are always integrated into the circuit breaker at the distribution panel. The upside of that it is that it also protects the wiring.
There is a reason to avoid full disk encryption for average, "normal", users: What happens when the user loses/ forgets their password?

Most (in my experience) users don't have backups for their devices. Some data, like pictures, are maybe 'backed up" by the cloud provider of their choice via their phones. Further, some users may store important files in multiple places but most don't. And losing data is a real pita.

What people who don't like SMS miss the most in these discussions is that cellular signals still have holes. I get great coverage at home. 1 Mile away, near the kids' school is a dead zone. Literally the only thing I can get out is an SMS message because it doesn't use data (it uses the control channel).

No app can compete with that.

However, I must say that in full coverage areas, Signal is my goto.

While (as a European) I agree with your point regarding speed signs, I think an important point is that there are plenty of traffic laws that differs (even) between EU countries. So when going driving in a foreign country one really should look up at least basic rules beforehand, and speed limits will most likely be front and center.
I remember getting a reasonable amount included in my 1999 plan. I remember 1997 as the year my brother called and asked "is it safe to put a credit card number on this site called amazon?" and 1998 and the first year I got a cell phone myself, but 99 as the txt year.

I'm not too surprised, as the malware goes out of its way to use ycxrl.com -- Going to extents like using 8.8.8.8 instead of the default DNS server, and trying a DNS server on port 5353.

Using those techniques, nobody would get a chance to see this second fall-back.

EDIT to clarify: Thanks for listing this, it's definately good to list these addresses as 'bad' for others to be aware, but DNS blocking won't slow down this malware, not even a bit.

Here's what it took for me to see cbpheback.com -- Install Pi-hole on the Android device and add these rules to iptables:

When he said "unless you move out of their service area" he should have said "unless you move to a different geographic area".

Here is a summary of the rules [1] in the US. Key points from that page:

• If you're switching service providers and remaining in the same geographic area, you can keep your existing phone number. This process – often referred to as phone number porting – can be done between wireline, IP and wireless providers.

• If you are moving to a new geographic area, you may not be able to keep your current phone number when changing providers.

• Also, some rural wireline service providers may obtain waivers for the porting requirement from state authorities. Their customers may be unable to port their number to a new provider. If you are unable to port your number for that reason, contact your state public utilities commission for further information.

Nice properties of the Raspberry Pi SoC devices include that there are brands involved that aren't going to fly-by-night, and the brands and the people behind them could be reached by civil and criminal action.

There absolutely are! Check out hivemind (https://github.com/learning-at-home/hivemind), a general library for deep learning over the Internet, or Petals (https://petals.ml/), a system that leverages Hivemind and allows you to run BLOOM-176B (or other large language models) that is distributed over many volunteer PCs. You can join it and host some layers of the model by running literally one command on a Linux machine with Docker and a recent enough GPU.

"Canadian NOTAM Experiences Outage Hours After US NOTAM System" - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34344089
The unification of la Hispaniola under a new regime untied to french colonialism could be a strong foundation for political and economical improvements (if made in respect of both cultures). If Canada ever merges with the nearby Turks and Caicos Islands, they could also help improve the economic status of the area by bringing a nice influx of money. Also Canada has a big Haitian diaspora in Quebec, so there are cultural ties already.
Assuming this is not a rhetorical question, the answer is:

Buying stock is investing cash into a business. The investment has more risk of going down in value compared to cash in the bank. Government created a tax advantage to partially offset the risk, and thus encourage investment. This tends to move capital to places it can be used for creating new things, instead of sitting in a vault.
Kotlin is about as nice as Swift until you run into some bit where it's interfacing with Java and then it becomes a lot less fun. Swift I think handles Obj-C/C interior a bit more gracefully by comparison. Various bits of other JVM baggage also aren't great.

That said I've only used Kotlin in the context of Android development. It might be nicer elsewhere.

If by "classifying things" you mean doing what Wolfram Alpha's natural language front end does--figuring out which solution engine to pass the question to, and translating the question into what that solution engine needs--then yes. That's what your examples show. And that concedes my point: that something like GPT-3 might make a good natural language front end for something like Wolfram Alpha's solution engines; but it's not good at actually giving correct answers on its own. It's bad at that, for every type of question.

YC-funded freight forwarding company. Basic thesis is by using tech, you can dramatically lower the labor costs of forwarding, and since freight forwarding has huge returns to scale, the benefits compound. They raised 2 G$ from 2019-2022, and their CEO used that warchest to expand counter-cyclically through the pandemic. TBD if either of the two theses pan out.

Freight forwarding itself is the industry of coordinating the logistics of freight shipment, ie subcontracting with physical movers of goods (ocean carriers/railroads/trucking companies) and dealing with customs/legal requirements involved in the movement of goods

Cities have already begun outlawing gas appliances in new construction. People who are concerned about the CPSC rumblings are justifiably worried. If you don't like a city's rules, you can move. But if the CPSC takes action, you can't just move to another city.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. You want to change race, that's why you track it? Or you want to change how racial "groups" vote? The logic makes sense in some contexts, but not all, and not the one I was referring to anyway.

Additionally, and this premise is somewhat debatable, the people there didn't think they were installing a dictator. They thought they were protecting democracy somehow. Insane, mistaken, stupid, laughable.. Lots of words better describe what happened there.
"Unlimited vacation" is the biggest corporate scam of the last decade. In the middle of the most employee-friendly job market of all time in the tech sector they somehow successfully pulled off a shift from "you have the right to take 3-5 weeks off a year and we will reimburse unused time" to "you can maybe request 3 weeks off but we may deny it and every day will count as a negative when evaluating you against your peers".

I'm very interested in seeing which direction this experiment takes a few more years down the line. Right now it works great for companies because they get to remove vacation accrual from their books and employees still have an idea of what constitutes reasonable time off, because that's the system they have worked in their entire lives. A new college hire at their first job though might have a completely different mindset about the "unlimited" part. Once you have enough of that demographic at your company, how are you going to guilt them into sticking to the unwritten rules?

I travel well outside my neighborhood for standard slices regularly and I've never felt it's a waste of time.

But maybe an out-of-towner feeling they need to find the perfect slice is a different perspective than mine as a local. I know what I want out of the places I seek out and I'm comfortable with whatever extra time investment that requires.

> This also has the benefit being true. The first version is jut false. Life doesn't require work. Life requires resources or the money to buy them. A lot of people are born with those resources or the money to buy them, and therefore don't need to work.

You didn't actually disprove that life requires work. Quite the opposite. You instead seem to be saying that society is structured in such a way that some people can live off the fruits of the labor of others. No one has access to any resources without someone having done work to create/acquire those resources.

> IMO, expecting something for nothing is somewhat immoral

I can definitely agree on this, though. I am generally against the notion of "positive rights". I have yet to see a good argument for why any should exist universally. I do believe in what I think is a related concept
of responsibilities. Parents, for instance, are responsible for the well-being of their own children. We can argue that society is responsible for its own poor and needy as well, but that is not the same as saying those people have a particular right to anything or that society can best fulfill its responsibilities through government programs like wealth redistribution or UBI.
In Italy it is required by law to take PTO if you have a "permanent" work contract. You can monetize part of the PTO but the biggest part must be used within a certain time limit.

I think it's a good thing but we pay it with our lower average salaries.
The poorest will be much richer because you've given them money, almost by definition.

Student loans are problematic because they put the student in lifelong debt, before that state schools were just, state subsidized and students were given scholarships, both of which are much closer to UBI. And even so, they're still better than nothing imo, though free-school-for-all Germany style would be better still.

I share your worry about landlords jacking up prices. In a "free market" you'd expect them to compete on price but obviously that isn't the case since they have all the power and are able to set their prices as high as the renters are able to pay. That's a problem and would affect people on UBI, but could be solved by additional regulation as well, which essentially every UBI supporter is in favor of.

Use SPF softfail, not (hard) fail
This is very common in embedded systems, and honestly I'm not surprised to see this, even with projects like Raspberry Pi... although, I do think it's a big shortcoming for a project like that.

In a "real project" you would be relying on your suppliers and other teams / colleagues for many of the "hard questions". Chances are you'd have a contact with the silica manufacturer, just as a major example.

There would be a boot team, or sometimes just one boot developer. If anything goes wrong, or you want to change anything, you would be pretty helpless without them. You can go to the various specs and code, but this can be quite in depth if you're starting from scratch.

Change project or micro? Chances are that all goes out the window, and you have to start from scratch.
