> If you want a decent podcast player, you're expected to pay for it

I'm always surprised by how much resistance there is to paying for software around here. This audience, more than most, knows how difficult it is to create really great apps. The idea that somebody (not necessarily you) would look at a high quality piece of software that they will use all the time and think $5 (or even $1) is too much is depressing.
Having this conversation with your “boss” or whoever you’ve temporality assigned authority over you and your life would be a great start.

What do you want? Communicate that, clearly and without making them wrong.

Better if you can understand what your boss and company are wanting to accomplish and avoid, and then showing them that the most direct way to get that is by giving you what you want.
Pepperidge farm remembers the same types of dismissals when Netscape first come about. "I already have a compuserve account", "It's just a bunch of geeks talking about Frank Zappa", "You can't DO anything with it".

It's hard to perceive clearly what you're looking at when a new thing comes along precisely because it's new. I think GPT3 fits that.

It's Netscape. A messy buggy rapidly evolving piece of software that's opening up new ideas faster than it itself is iterating.

Anyway, what else you gonna work on? Yet another lightweight typescript framework for making web apps? Heh.

The article says this much too. While I never saw any actual toddlers running errands on their own in Japan, I did see children 5-6 years old doing it.
One can meet it from time to time in some government organisations, but the actual fad is over I think, and - as usual - the original purpose very often has been replaced by some kind of cargo cult.

Architecture frameworks have relevance in a system of systems context, to keep track which systems are part of it and how they contribute, what the interfaces and integration technologies are, who is responsible for these things.

They have less relevance in a single system-of-interest development context, where the surrounding systems are best represented by interface specifications or control documents.

Systems Engineering always had and still has (even if they are more and more forgotten) established methods for functional analysis and allocation of the functions to "systems" and "system elements" (see ISO 15288 for definitions), including interfaces, which allowed systems to be incrementally specified by interleaving analysis and design (see "Systems Engineering Sandwich"). This process works for all lifecycles and on all levels, also for system of systems (an "enterprise" is just a system itself). A good reference is Jeff Grady's "System Requirements Analysis" (preferably the 1st edition). Architecture frameworks came later, often "invented" by people not (sufficiently) aware of the existing System Engineering body of knowledge, and presumably more aimed at system users and operators than system developers.

Rules do not apply to establishment corporate entities. You can find SNL sketches that use the N word on youtube. Youtube rents videos on their platform that has racist, etc language. Late night "comedy" shows could use vulgar terms/jokes without getting demonetized, banned, etc. It's just you can't. It's about reigning in the voice of the little guys and protecting corporate interests. Remember when youtube was about giving a platform to "you" - the little guys? The funny thing is that these guys support banning tiktok and giving youtube a greater monopoly. They, of all people, should be demanding more options. Where are they going to go once rumble does the same thing. After all, rumble is controlled by the same interests that control youtube.

i mean if the objective is just 'euphoria' (as opposed to avoiding opiate withdrawal or having a 60-hour-long orgy) there are a lot of ways you can get it: hyperventilation, falling in love, roller coasters, exercise, praying, etc., and i thought about saying this, but i think that this really is a pretty weak counterargument to dtech's claim that heroin and meth have no legal alternatives; they're pretty much right about that
Surprised he didn't make it a hat trick and advocate a ban on private land ownership.
It goes one of two ways. One is that they don't have probable cause that abuse has occurred and nothing happens. Police dropping the charges seem to support this for this scenario. The other is that they do get the order and you have the same situation of visits and questions.
Mass non-compliance is problematic strategy, because then the government can persecute arbitrary people for stuff that “everyone” does.

GDPR is one such high stake example where no business can really feel safe.
My house seems designed for such pranks, no smart things required. For some unfathomable reason the switch for the main bathroom is outside the bathroom. If you are in the bathroom with the door closed anyone else can flip the switch and likely get clean away before you can get off the toilet and open the door.

I've heard of a great light flipping prank that supposedly happened at Caltech a few years before I was there. There was a row of rooms overlooking a courtyard. Each had a window on the courtyard. At the end of the row was a bathroom, also with a window on the courtyard.

Some pranksters once when the student in the room next to the bathroom was out rewired his switch and the bathroom switch so the each switch controlled both rooms.

Then they sat in the courtyard watching that night. He got home, they saw his light (and the bathroom light) go on as he got ready for bed, then go out as he went to sleep.

A little while later someone went to use the bathroom. They turned on both lights.

That woke the sleeping guy, who got up and turned the lights back off and went back to bad. The people in the courtyard heard an annoyed yell from the bathroom, where the occupant was apparently sitting on the toilet.

Toilet guy went and turned the lights back on. That woke up sleeping guy, who they heard swear, and he got up and turned the lights off.

Toilet guy as faster this time, and got the lights back on before sleeping guy reached bed.

What then happened was the lights alternated on and off at an increasing frequency until finally both people went out to the hall to try to see if there was a clue there and they figured out what was going on.
> A more accurate statement is "the Police exist to protect and serve whatever system perpetuates the Police". If you're a rich and you donate to police causes, suck up to their members, agree with their politics, and generally support police proliferation, they will bend their enforcement tactics to your favor. This makes you "powerful". If you rail against police behavior and try to reform them, they will bend their enforcement tactics against your favor. This makes you "powerless".

Reminds me of this joke from the other day about the "system":

A CEO, a Politician, a Supreme Court justice, a Cop, a Laborer and an Immigrant are at a table. The table has 20 cookies. The CEO takes 19 cookies, and passes one cookie to the Politician's PAC. The Politician says to the Laborer "look out, the Immigrant is trying to take your cookie!" and allocates a few crumbs from the table cookie to the Cop. The Cop beats the Laborer and shoots the Immigrant. The Supreme Court justice rules that the PAC is legal, the shooting is justified, and the Cop has qualified immunity for beating the Laborer.
I’m so happy for them. This really made my day.
I can't really speak to this article, and as they've changed the family's name(s) for privacy reasons it's hard to fact check, but other stuff published by Lenore Skenazy about similar cases seems more readily verifiable. That said I don't really pay much attention to this type of story so I'm not well versed on the issue or who is credible in reporting on it. But for issues I do follow, I usually find their reporting to be excellent.
Not really advice, just sympathies from me - having to do this twice a day, every day is a pain. 2-3 standups a week is a sweet spot imo. Doing it every day is a waste of time and it gives everyone an incentive to talk about things that are irrelevant which makes the whole thing even more of a waste of time. So maybe that's the advice - learn to become comfortable with talking about insignificant crap because that's the incentive they're giving you.

It has to be frowned upon because it is so prevalent among fringe hate groups.

It's silly to pretend that there are no people who might want to do harm to children, but as a father, I'm not really worried about them. I am, however, worried about the police hassling my kids and my family for the reasons presented in the article.

My kids are very very little now, but it's something my partner and I discuss how to handle in the future. We live in a typical suburb now, but we're planning a move to the city for several reasons. Counterintuitively, we think this will provide our children more freedom to grow. Our impression is that police authority goes unchecked in the suburbs, while the city resists police overreach (sometimes).

They don't explain their criteria at all. Why Switzerland and France have the same color even if there are massively more referendums in Switzerland? Why are the USA a different color than Canada ?

Article 6 of the law requires all "software application stores" to:

- Verify whether each user is over or under the age of 17
- Prevent users under 17 from installing such communication software

California passed the AADC law in 2022, taking effect in 2024, requiring, https://www.techdirt.com/2022/09/16/californias-age-appropri...

- “impact assessments” before launching new features that kids are likely to access
- businesses, not parents, to figure out what’s in the best interest of children
- [treating] children as if they all .. face the same risks .. lumps together 17 year-olds and 2 year-olds
- threatens to make face scans a routine and everyday occurrence
- before you can go to a new site, you will have to do either face scanning or upload age authenticating documents

Sounds like you have two legit gripes. Not enough pay and not getting assigned lead roles. You have to complain to your manager about both. Maybe you will get one or the other. If you get none, well, then ask why not. Get an honest assessment about why. And do an honest assessment about why this guy might be better than you. Maybe you just have a bad manager or a manager that values other things.

I had a similar experience. New guy came in. Was not as good of a developer, got less done, but manager liked him better. I complained, and got more pay while other guy got promotion. I was better at getting shit done, new guy was better at communicating, plain and simple, and manager liked that better. Story of my life.
This does seem rather...terrible. I am assuming in this case you outsourced the software development and paid someone $90k out of pocket?
The OP in this case has an idea what happened, but in general CPS has no legal obligation to tell you what you are accused of.

You're defending yourself without knowing the charge, with the investigator/judge/jury CPS agent presuming you are at least somewhat guilty.

I agree. Alyx was a lot of smoke and mirrors. I think it is the best VR has. But VR sucks. Alyx highlights 3 issues in combat.

1) you can’t move irl enough to dodge bullets. You can duck behind cover. But moving is hard. I also suspected some enemy types would target you based on where you had last teleported not where your body should be.

2) enemies hitting you in melee are awkwardly far and you have no ability to hit them in melee. For good reason. Melee in VR is kind of dumb. See boneworks.

3) teleporting and stick movement is very overpowered in addition to nausea. When you can move by stick, it is far superior to moving irl, which undermines the point. This is a fundamental problem in VR. You can’t do both irl movement and stick movement at the same time. And enemies have to move at irl speed to be “fair” to people who want to “do the motions”.

The reloading and general sense of ducking is good. Very good. But it only goes so far.

Almost as stupid as someone who thinks the existence of a police force is the source of the problem every time this _context_ occurs.

For some reason, countries without progressives and their shitty policies don't have these problems. There's no horrible police force from Switzerland to Singapore

This is why Western individualism is stupid. We're constituent parts of families, and operate most effectively in that way, yet all modern taxation, government policy and a lot of culture attempts to break that bond, in favour of an all-powerful state.

In Argentina they’ve been scamming people by pretending to be a relative for years now! No AI required. Somebody calls you in the middle of night, distraught, and crying says “mom?” or “dad?”. Then someone interrupts, claims your son or daughter has been abducted (by now you probably have given them their name when responding to the initial plea) and requests money to be dropped at some location where a motorcycle picks it up. They make you stay on the line so you can’t call the cops nor the allegedly abducted person.

These calls usually are made from prison, with an outside accomplice. They are rarely caught.

People are sleepy, and concerned, and swear the voice they heard was the one of their child.

Another no-ai popular scam is done by stealing a WhatsApp account (e.g. by cloning the sim), and then contacting a friend or relative asking for a quick cash transfer for something urgent, to be returned the next day.

Deepfakes might make these scams more believable, but the core causes of the issue and the solutions have not changed.

This is horrific and is caused by the pride of those who are too lazy to lift a finger. Just know that bitterness will only poison you from the inside out. Don't allow this to fester or it will make you like them. I have seen the effects of this in my own family and it ends in evil.

Are you sure the police dropped the charges? Usually criminal charges are brought by a prosecuting attorney, not police.
The brain can fail and become diseased in multiple ways. Depending on which system gets compromised, the effects can be mild, or serious.

What did I expect? From you nothing at all, because you are not well-versed in the topic, and you don't seem interested in learning about it.

Excellently put!

I've been reading a collection of Tom Wolfe's journalism from the 1960s[1], and it's fascinating to see how the car has warped from a liberating force (in the sense of propelling countercultures and shrinking the rural divide) to a domineering one (in terms of suburban fear culture and dependence).

These phenomena could be seen as incompatible on face value, but they're really just two phases in the same arc: the children of these articles' subjects grew up in a culture that confuses the mechanism of liberation (the car) with liberation itself, and built systems to enshrine it.

My experience ends in mid-90s, but from what I understand it is still far more permissive than US/Canada. In Finland for example, kids go to school alone starting in grade 1 (walk or public transport). That is definitely not something you will see often in Canada. I do absolutely agree though - anecdotally speaking of course, parents today are far less permissive than "back in the day".

I have no issue with my kids (8 and 9) playing outside alone provided they don't venture out onto the thoroughfare street. My concern is with irresponsible and inattentive drivers, including residential construction traffic.
