The UK never held anything close to a dominant position in European governance.
So your contention is that absolutely nobody would care if the Democrats in particular were heavily financed by white-collar crime? And that the Democratic Party doesn't care whether or not they're associated with an alleged, indicted criminal? That's facially absurd. Even if it wouldn't cause anyone to change their vote (which seems unlikely given the marginal-but-still-very-real swings in election results every two years), it would affect enthusiasm and engagement among people who would otherwise support the Democrats. Whereas with this lie about mysterious "dark money" donations to Republicans, most people who support the Democrats will just accept that claim uncritically and continue to support the Democrats because that's the story that minimizes their personal cognitive dissonance.

Also, you need to explain why somebody would donate equally to both parties in the first place, when both parties are engaged in a zero-sum game with each other for control of the federal government.
The "need" for an SUV is a band-aid fix for American suburbs. The build environment really necessitates it, especially in sprawling suburbs. But again, people raise families without owning a car perfectly fine in modern European cities.
With the fragmented release of Halo Infinite (unfinished features such as multiplayer co-op, et. al.), I just kind of lost interest. And I bought a launch-day OG Xbox just to play Halo, and have spent way too many hours in that and later versions. Infinite Campaign was mostly fun (though I could have done without the whiny cohort), and +1 for an effort at something different. Multiplayer, meh, maybe it's just not my style anymore. But no Forge, no multi-player co-op at launch, so I figured I'd come back when those and other features were released. And I just never did.

But it's been coming for me for a while. I tried really hard to like Guardians, but...I dunno, I guess I'm old and just want them to keep updating Halo 3, which is of course the best Halo. :-)
I've fought with PayPal for a very long time for these same reasons, and I finally won last year, and received a settlement payout (basically the money that was in my account, worth $6k). The condition was to never use their products / services again (including venmo, every time someone asks if I have it, I have to tell this story ;)), but totally worth it.

I used a service called FairShake - https://fairshake.com/ which is an arbitration service, and you can use this to get their attention.
> For instance, UK-based power company SSE stated that its renewable assets produced 32% less power than expected. Although this may appear initially alarming, given the UK government’s plans to become a world leader in wind energy, wind farm developers are aware these low wind “events” are possible, and understanding their impact has become a hot topic in energy-meteorology research.

> So should we be worried about this period of low wind? In short, no.
Using the fact that a customer was shown exit as the basis for destroying their assets don’t look great to me, at least on surface…
The Windows ecosystem has never had a coherent design. I fondly remember the Windows 7 days where we had Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center, and Zune Media Player each with a completely different design style despite coming from the same company. Similarly, Outlook vs Windows Live Mail vs etc or Word Perfect vs Word. And these are just comparing similar Microsoft products.
Chinese has easier character pronunciations? I find it hard to believe that. The tones are what makes Chinese the hardest language to learn.

Most people who learn Chinese will never be able to sound Chinese. To Chinese people they will look like some fool who has learning deficits (I know this is not true, but the lack of empathy in mono-cultural nations is quite high). I don't think there's any language in the top 20 most popular that punishes you as hard for incorrect pronunciation. While in English having an accent is quite common and charming, in Chinese bad pronunciation will make things incomprehensible.

For Japanese on the other hand I have multiple friends who after a couple years are indistinguishable from natives. The pronunciation system in Japanese is super easy in my opinion. It's almost a subset of the English language.
Yeah they've burned up a lot of goodwill by prioritizing integrators so heavily. Not just work there community but in Broadcom apparently, according to other comments.

On the other hand expressif is eating their low end, the pico was too expensive too late. Perhaps they will make a bigger board too. They're much better at integrating with the community than Broadcom, they hired community members like sprite_tm.
If you ever go to a local planning meeting, when the topic of building new houses comes up, the reaction of those living near is always blatant and horrific. Lots of talk about "low-quality" tenants "ruining the character". It doesn't take a genius to know what these people mean.
Race-Norming
And yet I'd rather hear what the living human beings have to say. They may write poorly, but at least they have actual thoughts and ideas -- no matter how misguided or bizarre -- that they're trying to communicate.
I have been following and playing with this repository: https://github.com/singlestore-labs/python-wasi/

It builds a single Python WASM module with all dependencies included (they use VFS) and a Dockerfile to make the process easy (and actually worked first go). It does produce large files though: wasi-python3.11.wasm 110MB
Page up and page down in that location is fairly common in business-class laptops; Lenovo, Dell, and HP all do it in at least some models.
Skip team features until a customer (or somebody ready to pay) is asking for it. In our B2B SaaS we have Fortune 100 companies as customers and even they are so far fine with individual accounts. We implemented two-factor-auth after customer requests but it's shocking how few of our users actually switch it on, definitely not relevant to grow or get more sales.

I can't answer it for B2C, that growth might work different.

Start with a framework that includes authentication. It will save weeks of work. https://github.com/smirnov-am/awesome-saas-boilerplates

Good luck for your MVP/launch.
Redis offers disk persistence [0]. Why can't it be used as a persistence layer?

[0] - https://redis.io/docs/management/persistence/
For starters, this paragraph springs to mind:

"The bourgeoisie, by the rapid improvement of all instruments of production, by the immensely facilitated means of communication, draws all, even the most barbarian, nations into civilisation. The cheap prices of commodities are the heavy artillery with which it batters down all Chinese walls, with which it forces the barbarians’ intensely obstinate hatred of foreigners to capitulate." (Communist Manifesto)

Whatever one thinks about Marx, the conflict between the continuation of economic growth and resistance to immigration is real. And in the face of a threat of population decline, resistance to immigration will become economic suicide, and so anti-immigrant populists and the economic elites will come to increasingly face off against each other.
Yes all of Scotland harbors a grudge against the English, that's why they voted to remain a part of the UK when given their "once in a generation" chance to do so.

And yes they're totally second class. That's why they have their own parliaments whereas England doesn't.
I live in the most modern and luxurious of modern luxury buildings and while most people don't complain about noise, I'm jolted awake by door slamming in the hallway, I can hear parties two floors up and music (bass specifically) travels effortlessly through all the modern concrete floor and non-concrete walls all the same. It depends more on the neighbors than the construction. Nothing will stop a modern subwoofer.

The uncertainty around neighbors and the obligation to be tolerant is why single family houses are preferable to some people. Barking dogs when owners are away are another joy of apartment living.
It's not about "should", it's about whether or not the people can compel them to do so.

It's probably in the people's best interest to be a bit less ambitious than "pay for an infinite number of people", since that's unlikely to happen regardless of how compliant the companies are.
If I can offer some unsolicited feedback:

- This space is very crowded - to consider this app, I need to know a differentiator much sooner. Is it the streak? Is it the zero-knowledge? What makes this different from the 20 other options? It seems like the value prop here is "this is a simple journal that tracks whether you wrote today or not, and that is zero knowledge." If there's more, it's missing from the marketing here.
- There's some confusion in the branding. You're using the word "guru", as well as the word "jumble" as a verb. Pick a tagline and a CTA, and stick to those.
- I like the point you are trying to make about the value of writing itself... but how does your app take advantage of that value prop? Can I capture those insights in a unique way? Otherwise, I can take your value prop and accomplish it in the writing app I already have an account and history with.

I think you're on the way to something good here, but it's a little too confusing to get me to convert.
The point is for the teacher to get a sense of the students style and capabilities. Even if your home essay is 10x better and 10x more concise as your in class work, a good teacher that knows you—unlike an inference model—will be able to extrapolate and spot commonalities. Also a good teacher (that isn’t overworked) will also talk to students and get a sense of their style and capabilities that way, this allows them to extrapolate even better then a computer could ever hope to.
> Here's the kicker: it's 1600 devices. Ok, so they've been told for 13 months to do this

That is not really how I read it; the devices got an year extension because people had already failed to refresh them within the standard cycle. From the sounds of it these are typical workstations etc, their support cycles are very predictable and if you bought some crappy ones without predictable lifecycle that is on you too. That extension should have been wakeup call, the process had already failed then.
I've consed "Some" onto the headline in the hope that this makes it more accurate.

This is a confusing situation! confusing to me at least.
> But then again, their design language has recently started to be less cohesive too (or more precisely, mix of older and newer design systems are apparent).

It's the age of Electron, baby! For better (more frequent cross-platform support, rapid app development, empowering the masses of web devs to create desktop apps without retooling) and for worse (non-native look-and-feel, high resource consumption). Nobody really has a cohesive collection of apps on their desktops anymore, not even Mac people.

> I think people mostly complain about a lack of cohesion that Windows/macOS have.

Like we've both noted to some extent here, I think this is pretty much a thing of the past. It can be pretty good on Linux, at the same time. If you stick to KDE or Gnome (which I think are both reasonable propositions), your desktop on Linux will be way, way more cohesive than Windows has ever been in my lifetime (maybe ever).
You have responsibilities now, like rent and food. You probably didn't have those when you were 13-20.

As I often say, when I was young I had more time than money, and now I have more money than time. I'd rather use my money to buy time, which sometimes means just paying for something that I would have hacked together myself in the past (like a DVR or a piece of software).

I still have plenty of passion, but it's for other things, like stuff my kids like to do, because then we get to do it together.
@jpdaigle Clearly too many factors play into however you received that quote...But, maybe this can help you...

Years ago, i researched insulating my home...an old home that was split into 2 living portions...and whose front half/portion was built in late 1800s, and back portion of home was built around late 1910s. So, you can imagine it was pretty much a sieve, just burning our money. So, i did get a few costly quotes...but the cheap husband in me wondered if i can do things piecemeal....and i assure you that its possible. There are lots of factors to consider....but you can research and determine for yourself.

Here is my suggestion:

1. Contact your electric company/provider...and ask them if they offer a free energy assessment. Ours did, and it helped us determine the exact zones/sections of our home where we had the worse heat loss. This assessment was so valuable, i wold have paid to have this done!

2. Research where you/your family spend the most time in the home. My opinion is that the bedrooms should be the last places to insulate, since blankets (and bodies) help keep things warm in this type of room.

3. Consider which areas of the home can be insulated via easier methods - like spray foamy stuff - which may only need little holes and not necessary to tear down full walls, etc. Some of these foams are not as insulating as traditional options, but the ease and cost is more than enough to justify things.

4. Ideally start on the outside walls of the home, and of the specific rooms/area where you will focus your first work.

There is so much more on thios topic...but keeping the work low in scope, and iterative really can help...its all about being clever here. Good luck!!
Rebuilding Society on Meaning
Quite long but inspiring lecture on how we can align markets, recommender systems, products, and organizations with our values.
I found a recentish (2021) survey at [1] which suggests that in 2021 ML was some way behind web development, sysadmin stuff, and data analysis among Python users (and didn't seem to be on the way up the list).

No, I'm a soulless, burned out corporate drone. Thankfully, I've slipped through the cracks and am still getting a paycheck.
HOAs are the most local form of democracy there is. Perhaps just reduce the overwhelming supermajority requirements to dissolve them, perhaps. In many places your only viable option if you don't like your HOA is get elected to the board yourself along with enough like-minded neighbors. You might not be able to dissolve it, but you could seriously neuter the policies if you wanted.
Nah I was mean too, it is warranted. Different ways of viewing things for sure.

The part that I feel is on everyone who bought into FSD is that literally every expert in self driving (A field I was in directly at the time) was pretty sure Tesla was never going to get there with there hardware. Tesla supporters were quite rude denying this.
I think it's more likely because there are very few kids playing outside in urban areas. There are kids in the Pearl and the South Waterfront in Portland. It is rare to see them play outside, much more rare to see them playing in the street. On the other hand, kids playing catch or riding their bikes on suburban streets is a daily occurrence in my neighborhood. That's definitely going to drive up interactions with cars, but the motor vehicle rates you cite above are still exceedingly low.
I would say that the reasons you stated above are uncomfortable because they are implicitly discriminatory to people outside those areas who want to move in. People who already live there are, in effect, saying "we're full up here, go somewhere else". And these are often the same people with signs in their front yard saying things like "no matter where you are from, we're glad you're our neighbor" in multiple languages, or "climate change is real", or "no human is illegal" which espouse values in direct opposition to that implicitly discriminatory message.
I think the parent is noting that there is a rush for every tech company to taper staff via layoffs right now. However it's unclear if the 7% layoff materially affects HubSpot's trajectory. HubSpot listed a 100MM dollar outlay for restructuring expenses. If they had simply maintained a hiring freeze for the next year would they have ended up in a materially different spot?

These 7% layoffs seem somewhat dubious from a business value perspective, the growing consensus is that this is actually about employer vs. employee control. Alternative explanation is that interest rates are about to beak 6% at which point it doesn't make much sense to be invested in any money losing tech firm.
Thank you so much for the feedback, this is cool!
I was once a elementary os user but once I realised the elementary model is stuck and there is no big changes since version 5.

If you look to active DE you see some commercial contributers e.g. GNOME from Red Hat and Cosmic from System76 (which started a way later)
But as the founder see itself as a communist, I dont think, something will change (not to mention the moral ignorance of communist anyway). I liked the whole experience approach, "apple like", but now I use Gnome.
There's still valid reason to be concerned here. For example, this implies building a diffusion model based on private data can leak it. If I can generate a whole bunch of prompts like "MRI Joe Biden brain tumor" and 1 out of a million times I get a consistent result, that's unacceptable.

Github Copilot could be leaking private code as well.
If they're advertising it as a LinkedIn scraper then it is, and that seems to be what's cited as the actual problem.
I'm so sorry :( !
Says who? There are no zoning powers right.
> They also admitted that there was "an issue" sending out notifications to me, and confirmed that none were sent.

Junk mail wasn't the issue in this case.
Meta blocked access to staff from using DALLE2 or ChatGPT from their work Google accounts.

Another possibility is AI generative "stenography" where rules exist to insert hidden meaning or hidden data.
I wouldn’t say these are a special sauce that C++ has to make these Platonic solids.
Thank you we will look into it!!
Redis offers disk persistence; Heroku's free Redis offering did not.
My goal is to build a composable and consistent DSL.

It should have few keywords and structures as possible. Of course there's some "fixed keyword" like above crosstab (due to inconsistent SQL syntax i think).

"alias" + "fields" helps you build "as (field1, field2,...)" kind of thing.
"select" + "from" must form a normal "sql query".
It's the compression. There are some pretty heavy JPEG artifacts in the screenshots.
Had occasion to visit my hometown last year, so I drove around the middle-class neighborhood where I grew up. People have trash, old appliances, rusting inoperable cars parked on the lawn, 4-foot grass and weeds growing. People who spent like a million bucks on a house don't want the neighborhood to be full of blight and trash.

In a typical average HOA neighborhood:

* The HOA pays for landscaping of all the common areas like green belts and parks within the tract. If you don't have an HOA, you either are benefiting from your city choosing to locate and maintain those kinds of amenities right by where you live, or you just don't get any of those.

* Obviously one of the big ones, the other main HOA budget item is pools, clubhouses you can rent cheaply for parties, tennis courts, etc. For rich people they don't care since they have their own pools, but it's a great boon to people not rich enough to have a pool to have easy free access to one that isn't crowded and is close to home.

* They, in theory, fine you for outwardly living like an absolute slob or selfish jerk. NOTE: In practice nobody cares about most of these little rules, like mailbox color or a patio chair left on your lawn, unless you're acting wildly outside the norms. The rules are there to let them enforce them selectively on the person who's making everyone miserable.

* They regulate architecture and paint color. This may be my least favorite because it seems like we shouldn't need this, I have taste and why should I have to submit my stuff for approval to these jerks? But really, this is only there because there would be SOMEBODY who would paint their house an absurd garish color or build a giant ugly addition in their front yard or something that looks wildly out of place.
You're aware that the places the Empire conquered were all empires themselves, right? (with the exception I think of Australia/New Zealand, which weren't developed enough to have anything resembling an empire)
Your point about moving is really important: there are a ton of boomers sitting in houses which are much larger than they need without children living at home but in many cases they're doing exactly what the system incentivizes. Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) can help somewhat if they have enough space and want to get in the landlord business (or have family who need it) but really we need to make it easy for people to downsize without financial precarity.
I don't have to try that hard with google maps to find places in Europe that look just like suburbs of the US.
That tracks. Recently got a scammy invoice _from their mail servers_. Sort of thing that works really well on boomers - looks like they've had an unreported breakin. Layoffs cover that news nicely.
Not to mention if someone is just using their 400 mile EV battery to go 3 miles to the store, they have to drag the rest of that battery around the entire way.
What do you mean by savings? Do you mean cash in a Savings Account? If so you don't it's inevitable. But you shouldn't have more than a few percent of your total net worth in cash anyway. To beat inflation you invest your money, it's that simple. Investing in a SP500 index nets you something like 7-10% per year on average. That includes crashes and bull runs, so on average.
Weren't they working on making their own hardware a while ago (5 years ago, I think)? Have they ever given an update on that?
Dun and Bradstreet (Apple's verification service) admits to selling all PII
This is long overdue. The Linux desktop needs a lot of polishing and i feel like we've hit a wall with productivity considering the gnome file picker has had the same issues with thumbnails since i was in highschool with Ubuntu 6.10.

If Rust helps us actually improve and change things, then fine.

I have one on my desk, like the video in the linked post, but I used it more as an adult Lego set to make an elaborate toy on my desk than to spend time entering programs in octal via switches.
Your points are all sound, but I want to expand on this one:

> a rogue update can be pushed anytime

This is not an intrinsic property of a zero-trust system, but a consequence of a culture in which software is never finished.
