"What are the advantages of this versus a PATA disk-on-module, a CompactFlash card, or an SD-to-PATA adapter?"

I wondered the same thing ...

I have thousands of days of uptime on various CF->IDE configurations - many of which were critical infrastructure.

It's a really elegant solution because CF and IDE are pinout compatible. No logic is required.

I set filesystems to be read-only so as not to burn out the CF part and, again, some of these were in service for >10 years and I have much higher confidence in this configuration than any SSD based solution I have ever fielded.
The CRTC disallowed Telus from doing this, but every merchant not covered by the CRTC is now allowed to disregard any "best price" clause in their credit card agreements.

I expect the first merchants to take advantage of the new rules will be some of those Mom & Pop stores that currently have the "minimum $10 for credit card" signs.
Another vote for LabView, it is inherently visual and data oriented.
>...also due to government related staffing issues and bureaucracy. Most people are describing more complex building codes, so I'll add something new.

The two are interrelated. There'd be a lot less opportunity for error if building codes were cut in half. For example where I live there is a fair bit oil heating & therefore underground oil tanks. Building code requires that upon switching to something else, like natural gas, the submitted plans must include information about the planned removal or decommissioning of the tank.

This wasn't always a requirement, but now that it is that means someone has to check the plans to make sure that requirement is met. So, bureaucracy and building codes go hand in hand.

Of course in the case of residential oil tanks remaining in the ground, or not being properly decommissioned, there it can cause a variety of problems. Water contamination for example, a major concern for abandoned tanks in any area where residential well water is common. (and for other reasons)

I'm not arguing that bureaucracy as it exists is at all a model of efficiency, but you can't examine or solve that problem without understanding how we got there.
That really depends on what kind of asbestos it is. In a hard, easily removable plate, sure you can do it yourself. Loosely-bound asbestos is a whole different game.
Why some people try it out is different than why people keep using it. Why people try it out can range from getting addicted after being prescribed something legal to wanting to escape life. Why people keep seeking it out/why they are addicted is hard to rationalize and understand and is like answering the question why do people like sex? You can't peer into your own mind, determine how its working and how you can manually change it. After addiction there usually needs to be some adverse event or events where people realize that the pain is greater than the pleasure, but there are still other people where even majorly adverse events don't change their rationale. Why people use fentanyl over other opiates is kind of simple. It is cheaper than everything else, there is a high supply of it, and it is stronger than everything else.
Spotify has plenty of power to change this and it's disingenuous to argue otherwise. Spotify has lobbied hard to affect royalty rates for music / songwriters and keep them low. Certainly the music publishers / labels are also to blame, but Spotify isn't innocent.

Also - Spotify wanted Podcasts so they went to the podcasters and made deals. Spotify is apparently paying to create royalty free music it can insert into playlists. Spotify could just as easily be making direct deals with, say, indie music artists or wooing bands away from major labels if it wanted to focus on music.

It's not. It's aiming for the streaming service equivalent of reality TV instead but paying big money for them instead of to musicians.
Here's an even older one about the Wal-Mart effect:

https://www.fastcompany.com/47593/wal-mart-you-dont-know

> The gallon jar reshaped Vlasic’s pickle business: It chewed up the profit margin of the business with Wal-Mart, and of pickles generally. Procurement had to scramble to find enough pickles to fill the gallons, but the volume gave Vlasic strong sales numbers, strong growth numbers, and a powerful place in the world of pickles at Wal-Mart. Which accounted for 30% of Vlasic’s business. But the company’s profits from pickles had shriveled 25% or more, Young says–millions of dollars.

> The gallon was hoisting Vlasic and hurting it at the same time.

> Young remembers begging Wal-Mart for relief. “They said, ‘No way,’ ” says Young. “We said we’ll increase the price”–even $3.49 would have helped tremendously–“and they said, ‘If you do that, all the other products of yours we buy, we’ll stop buying.’ It was a clear threat.” Hunn recalls things a little differently, if just as ominously: “They said, ‘We want the $2.97 gallon of pickles. If you don’t do it, we’ll see if someone else might.’ I knew our competitors were saying to Wal-Mart, ‘We’ll do the $2.97 gallons if you give us your other business.’ ” Wal-Mart’s business was so indispensable to Vlasic, and the gallon so central to the Wal-Mart relationship, that decisions about the future of the gallon were made at the CEO level.

> Finally, Wal-Mart let Vlasic up for air. “The Wal-Mart guy’s response was classic,” Young recalls. “He said, ‘Well, we’ve done to pickles what we did to orange juice. We’ve killed it. We can back off.’ ” Vlasic got to take it down to just over half a gallon of pickles, for $2.79. Not long after that, in January 2001, Vlasic filed for bankruptcy–although the gallon jar of pickles, everyone agrees, wasn’t a critical factor.
The percentage that the bank charges merchants is fixed (for e.g. all Visa credit cards.) If you have a non-rewards Visa credit card, the bank just pockets the entire processing fee. With a rewards credit card, you get some of that fee back.

It's a good question, and a very mature/well-engineered Docker dev environment probably gets you near-parity with an equivalent nix setup. That said, my reasons are:

- Although not _all_ of our projects need nix builds in the end, at least a few do, and acquiring their devshells is essentially zero-effort (you just ask nix for the devshell for the package instead of the package output itself)

- As some other commenters have noted, dealing with large container contexts can get hairy/slow. A devshell just tweaks a few environment variables, which is less of a tangle when working on the various projects (I use direnv, so my emacs session hooks into `flake.nix` and finds everything in-path automatically)

- While you could get a bit-for-bit identical dev environments by pushing a built container image to a registry that all devs pull from, I think most people would write a `Dockerfile` once and let folks build it locally before hopping in, which leaves a small (but extant) possibility that some environments may be subtly different (shifting container tags, ad-hoc apt-get commands, etc). A flake.nix coupled with a flake.lock means all devshells are lock-step identical.
How I usually see this is instead of a surchage for credit card, stores offer a cash discount of 2-4%. Likely to get around exactly what you're talking about
In principle, you could rename the classes on the class-file level after compilation, back to the original names. That wouldn’t violate the license.

Moreover, under the following definition in the license:

`Modification' of a file
means any procedure that produces a derivative file under any
applicable law -- that is, a file containing the original file or
a significant portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications
and/or translated into another language.

…compilation would count as modification (“translated into another language”), and compilation also changes the file name (from .java to .class), so distributing the compilation output should be fine. Furthermore, any changes to the sources can be distributed as a diff patch, which also has a different file name.
The Nix team, including the Nix author and chief developer of flakes (upstream in this thread, so be kind all), is also working right now on enabling the nix3 UI for non-flakes setups as well: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/2023-01-16-nix-team-meeting-mi...

Consensus is hard but I'm glad to see people coming together on this. Really looking forward to seeing the new Nix command and flakes move forward (independently)
No problem. I just couldn't help but picture in my mind someone drinking a slurry of PFAS. I was like, that can't be right lol.
I had a rental car in LA once that couldn't decide if I was on the freeway, the off-ramp or the surface street nearby. It spent a good 10 minutes constantly telling me to make impossible turns or even U-turns before I turned it off and relied on my general sense of the area from previous visits and road signage.

GPS is great when it works and downright dangerous when it doesn't.
Any examples of webpages using these frameworks?
When the merchant is charged 3% for a credit card use, that gets factored into the price. When you get 1% cash back, you paid for that cash back. You're not receiving redistributions from other people.

No affiliation — an amazingly niche, caring paper map is this one of places to photograph in Iceland:

https://international-photographer.com/en/product/map-icelan...

(This is the 5th version of the map!)

The author only makes maps of Iceland and the Faroe Islands. They’re beautiful, annotated with camping and natural spring sites, and the photographic spots are unique and cover a wide range of terrain / vistas.

I car-camped the entire island and would refer to it to find my next stop. I wish the author made maps of more locations but I also understand that this is a work of dedication and patience.

> Talking about efficiency is a losing battle, people don't care about that, they care about total cost, safety and convenience.

Without subsidies it is ICE that would go away overnight on two of those three factors and then the third shortly after the market catches up to the overnight shift. EVs already have lower total cost and higher safety (than carrying around a tank of explosives and actively igniting those explosives during travel). ICE looks more convenient with current refueling infrastructure, but if ICE subsidies disappeared and demand plummeted we'd see how fast ICE range anxiety returns when companies quickly en masse decide to not sell such a low margin loss leader. (I do mean "returns", we know from history that ICE vehicles were the original range anxiety and EVs were the reliably ranged household cars until enough gas stations existed. AAA was in part founded because of ICE range anxiety.)

(H2 cannot compete with EVs on any of these three. Total cost is higher. H2 tanks can dangerously explode, even if fuel cells are not themselves at least using a burning process like ICE. H2 refuelling seems convenient if you discount the fact that there's no general, ubiquitous H2 refuelling infrastructure and likely never will be, especially with how badly H2 leaks in all attempts at long distance shipping and long term storage.)
Although, yes, banks pass costs to merchants... the thing is, banks do in fact lose money if you are savvy enough with rewards usage/sign up fees/etc. Take a look at the churning forums some time; it would be impossible for banks to actually be making money on this and also pass it along to merchants. The money is coming the ratio of consumers that pay interest (at ~20% or whatever outrageous fee they get) on their credit card bills.
I agree with the less privileged folks getting shafted statement, but for the rest:

I am 100% unwilling to use my debit card for any purchases.

Why?

Fraud. If I pay with cash, then fraud amounts to getting actually robbed. Identity theft and account compromising is literally impossible. If I pay with credit, it is MASSIVELY simple to get that fixed, and it becomes the cc company's problem.

With a debit card, any issues immediately become my issue, because the money is out of my account in that moment. Not good.
Right.. I know.. have been telling people that.. there just doesn't seem to be anything equivalent as an alternative. code-davinci-002 is amazing. Way better than Tabnine for example (in my limited testing) and also much better that text-davinci-003. for code. The open source programming LLMs I saw were kind of a joke compared to OpenAI's models.

Were they bored, did they not have exciting career or family prospects, was it ennui? Low-grade emotions can lead to addictive behaviors, not only high intensity trauma. The decision to subscribe to a malignant anti-authority lifestyle still shows that something is wrong, if it becomes so attractive an alternative to forsake one's life for.
Good note when talking about large businesses and org-wide initiatives.

It's easy to forget (looking from the bottom-up) that when you're surveying from the top-down, there are always alternative places to spend $1.

So it isn't enough to make >$1 in return for every $1 invested, you have to offer better return than the other things the company could be doing with that capital.

F.ex. in retail, there's an everpresent alternative of investing in logistics and warehouse automation, which saves the business a LOT of money
Mastodon has a very decent user base, and recently expanded very significantly. For me that is enough.
I don't have a moral problem with using a rewards card. If past me could avoid credit card debt while scraping by below the poverty line on disability, with nothing but a high school education, I believe everyone could with the proper discipline. It's basically a transfer from spendthrifts to savers.

You'll never hear me defend biofuels.

The alternatives are mostly

* better batteries

* heat pumps to replace oil burners

* methane or ammonia for the remaining uses (eg trans-oceanic); globally shipping and aviation together account for only 8% of petroleum use

With a universal carbon tax everything would automatically self-organize into the most efficient solution, but of course we can't do that.
You can totally do that at the luxury divisions of firms like Scott Dun and Protravel if you have the money. They'll even get you a chauffeur and dinner reservations at that high end restaurant if that's what you want. If you need anything mid-trip just call the 24/7 concierge and they'll figure out how to get it to you.
as much shit as we can give them for something as trivial as their name, their contributions to AI with GPT-1 (which beat all benchmarks & which led to BERT & was basically the "real" BERT itself), GPT-2, which was really impressive back then, GPT-3 which was an incredibly improvement that people had not see coming, PPO in reinforcement learning, reinforcement learning from human feedback in NLP, Instruct GPT (the real ChatGPT before ChatGPT), and now chatGPT
FYI I asked their sales chat what is a "managed customer".. I am not sure if it was really a person or not. Possibly a bot. But they never really defined it, but took down my info and said a "relevant partner would contact me ASAP".
Indeed. I remember having a slimline Sony Walkman in the late 1980s and people in London asking to buy it from me. Not friends, complete strangers like store proprietors who had a 'wow' reaction and made an offer on the spot.

> Create new moonshots for them just because

This seems disingenuous? They're "moonshots" as they've low chance of succeeding. You could pick the most proficient engineers and out-of-the-box thinkers and put them working on a "moonshot" and they'd still fail. Giving that team a new lofty goal seems like a great idea since they have experience working on large problems and can likely prune good/bad approaches much sooner than a fresh team.
Yeah, the current system requires demonstrable harm.

We should have a system that requires demonstrable safety.

Not necessarily addicts, but where fentanyl is poisoning the illegal street market, even those once a month cocaine or illegal ketamine or mdma users are at risk, not just oxycontin addicts. Even purchasers of Adderall have to be careful these days. And vaccines are just cool technology. Why wouldn't I take this thing that makes me immune to as certain type of poisoning. It may not be for iocaine power but I'll take that vaccine as soon as it comes out!
There's absolutely some truth to that though. People do not fall into addiction at the same rate in all societies.
Even if they're not developing the code, it would be good for them to push the third party to get it fixed, given that the 3rd party is used in their product.
So don't operate your 3d printer in an enclosed space? Sounds reasonable. You already have to do that with bleach, paint, window cleaner, stove cleaner, superglue, your car, your stove, your oven, your chainsaw, your weed wacker, your turkey fryer, when making beer from wort, and when making salsa from carolina reapers.

We all had answering machines back in the day to hold our voice mail.

There's no reason we have to entrust all our emails/photos/media to big companies that actively spy on us, mine us for more data and in general act against our interests.

If things are convenient enough (i.e.. "just plug in this box into your router and use this address to access your own everything without fiddling with manual backups, network configuration, security, ddos, power outages, spam etc.." ), I genuinely believe that people would prefer that to "trusting big tech with all our data".

I mean i still remember how people made fun of Google for scanning through our emails to show us ads.
The price we have paid for convenience is very high imo.
Ah scalpers, the true issue that will cause the death of our civilization.

While true, if there isn't a different cash price you are wasting money by not paying with a rewards card.
The subscriber count continues to grow, so it seems like the content is fine. Or at least not so bad that people are unsubscribing.

It seems to me that Netflix still has the most generally appealing content. Yeah Disney has some of the biggest names, but unless you 1. have young kids or 2. are a huge, not burnt-out Star Wars or Marvel fan, Disney+ is a pretty poor service. Most of the other services fall somewhere else in the middle of that spectrum.
A working agreement is a contract between two parties.

Who made the decision to join a company that was seeing sudden, unsustainable growth ? Workers. Who made the decisions to place themselves in a position they maybe aren't that needed? Workers.

Who enjoyed significant salary increase due to higher demand for their skills, increasing the cost of their labours while asking for increased benefits such as flexibility, work from home, etc ? Again; workers

There are two sides to the coin here.

I feel like your first paragraph and your second one contradict each other.

They start for various reasons, like your example of "seeking recreation" and having a certain person nearby.

They don't stop because they cannot stop due to a physical addiction. I do not think personal responsibility is the right topic for that once it has gotten to that point. They've entered a state of physical dependence in which the reason they started is kind of irrelevant, and it's very difficult to quit, through no fault of their own.
I do have it, so the rest of your highly presumptive comment became moot after the first sentence.
Stealth addresses are beneficial for large amounts.

For example:

- 0x1... stealth address have 5USDC

- 0x2... stealth address have 5USDC

- 0x3... stealth address have 5USDC

Now I want to pay 9USDC to 0x4..., how do I do that?

0x1... -> 0x4... = 3USDC (gas transfer ERC20 ~2USDC)

0x2... -> 0x4... = 3USDC (gas transfer ERC20 ~2USDC)

0x3... -> 0x4... = 3USDC (gas transfer ERC20 ~2USDC)

And since you spend from different addresses in one transaction, in theory you can reveal your identity.
The difference is that to find love relationship people generally openly look for one, and no one does that for friendships. Hence the need to treat casual friendships seriously if you're looking for serious ones.
