I am seriously blown away at how thoughtful and articulate Kareem is. I had no idea. Even more exceptional that this human is also generationally talented in a whole different arena (sports).
The point is Cloud is still 100% subsidized by Search, and if Search loses even 5% of market share in the next 12 mo it is a disaster as GCP cannot fill the gap as they are still losing money. The velocity at which they are losing money is immaterial to the fact they are not nearly ready to plug a hole if Bing take share.
Also note their persistent refusal to implement TLS for their web access.
This attitude alone tells me never to trust this project ever, even when they finally should use TLS.

Sadly there is no other FOSS out there that combines remote support with good NAT traversal.
Existing remote access tools such e.g. VNC all do not offer NAT traversal and are incredibly hard to setup.
All FOSS web/phone conference tools offering screen sharing refuse to implement transferring Cursor/Keyboard control.
Probably because it is not so easy, but mostly, I guess, out if fear for diffuse security problems.

Too bad people then will be compelled to use this absolute mess...
wouldnt it then be much better to separate it out, so likeminded people can pay for what they want? you say a large amount of people are happy to pay? great! make a healthcare system like you want. Guess what? I also wish to purchase healthcare services, I just dont want to be forced to purchase the crap the local regime forces upon me.

and what does it matter to you if I can opt out of paying? one less person to serve? great? everyone is happy.
"The government" has no money of its own. Everything "the government" does is paid for by private citizens in the form of taxes, without exception.

These taxes are harvested from capitalist economic activity.
I like this setup. Mine is much simpler, but I dig your vibe with the VLANs. I don't have any Internet failover or VPN, and have settled on:

- Regular VLAN: Access to LAN and Internet (I insist on having root on the device for it to go here)

- Guest VLAN: Access to Internet only

- Quarantine/IoT VLAN: Access to LAN only

I don't feel I need any more granularity than that. Of course the primary LAN backbone is 1Gig ethernet, but I have APs every 50 feet or so for phones.
> the initial equilibrium macrostate A, and the different equilibrium macrostate B that the system gets into eventually

[emphasis added]

Your use of "the" here, with the implication that there are two unique microstates A and B, is problematic. There is no such thing as "the" equilibrium microstate. A system at thermodynamic equilibrium is not static.

(In fact, I think it is fair to say that the whole point of thermodynamics is to sweep vast numbers of the physical degrees of freedom of a system under the rug so that you can treat a system at equilibrium as if it were static even though it really isn't. It is frankly astonishing that this is even possible at all without losing any fidelity in terms of measurable outcomes.)

> Some microscopic processes bring the state B to state A, and those break 2nd law.

Yes, that's true. The second law is probabilistic. It is "possible" to break the second law in the same sense that it is "possible" for a baseball to quantum-mechanically tunnel through a catcher's mitt. You can do the math to figure the odds in both cases. In fact, actually going through this process is an informative exercise. It isn't difficult.

There are some events whose probabilities are so low that the chance of them occurring anywhere in the universe before heat death is barely distinguishable from zero. The odds of actually observing such an event here on earth are vastly smaller still. Both macroscopic tunneling and 2nd law violations are events of this sort. Neither is categorically impossible, but (to put it mildly) it's pretty safe to bet against them nonetheless.
Thank you.
Sejda has a lot of features and seems to be a solid tool. The big difference between Sejda's online tool and pdfux is that with Sejda (and most online PDF tools), your file is transferred over the internet to Sejda's server where it is stored, processed and sent back to you. Then they promise to delete it. Personally I am not 100% comfortable using this kind of tools with files that I wouldn't want to share with anyone. (I also see that Sejda has a desktop version for offline use which seems to be their answer to the privacy concern.)
I enjoy tinkering and making my life unnecessarily difficult is a hobby. To give you an example i use:

- dwm as window manager

- neomutt for email

- newsboat for feeds

- notifications with inotifywait/watch and notify-send

- vim keybindings EVERYWHERE

Because of this the I've become very reliant on the ability to tweak and customize the tools I use. I know I'm a minority but I'm so deep down the rabbit hole I can never go back.
Alternative shells are a hype IMO. I don't need programming in my shell. So I just use bash, and for complicated scripts I just make a python script.
That's nonsense. Maybe for a small number of companies in SV or for successful startups (which are rare).

But the vast majority of software developers get no or very little equity.

The industry itself could be to blame. It's not fun to have your provider insult your appearance and try to push you to make devastating career choices, while cutting you off from effective treatments.

While non-gender conforming people need special protections, it's deeply sad that the industry wasn't able to recognize this itself... they just keep doing it with other people.

As always with these issues, no one stopped to think at a high level about labeling people's personality as a disorder that must be fixed. They just said, "we have to stop doing this to trans people"... "we'll make an exception for them"
Not surprising that your typical culture war conservative would fuel a culture war of their own. What a disgraceful person especially considering how Texas currently treats the individuals he seems to hate.

I'm still constantly amazed by the absolute certainty expressed in HN comments, even with completely absurd positions. Left brain mania.
idk that you should be fully putting this on your dad as if his was an unreasonable desire. It's a cruel fact that under our system, a lack of money means a lack of agency. Once you're out of money, the state options have massive cracks to fall through. The way I understand it (pre-hospice) - once he ran out of the ability to pay for help and couldn't keep up a facade of "full time care" himself, the state's answer would have been to ship her off to a nursing home regardless of what they both wanted. And FWIW selling a $30k car will cover like two months of part-time care.
Aren't those last 50km going to much more difficult since you're not having to carry the extra weight, and the extra resistance of the electric motor?
What always rubbed me the wrong way were two things. They have the impression of being spammy [even their UI felt/feels spammy] And then their UX really sucked. They almost felt like a parked domain itself.
While i agree with you, our society (at least the US society) actively works to thwart you ability to do so.
Note that there is a large gap between the statement "models and the human brain are doing similar things" and the statement "machines can think".

by analogy:

* It is a known background fact that a functioning human arm is alive.

* I might make a claim "a robot arm can do similar things to a human arm".

* It is unlikely that I have made the claim that a robot arm is alive. My claim is more likely to be about other properties of (robot) arms. [1]

Now that this is understood, perhaps also consider re-evaluating statements by Dkidd and Filligree (and potentially others) in that light. Their statements appear to be rather orthogonal to what you previously imputed (the same as with me).

And thanks for taking the time to talk. You seem a bit nicer now. :-)

Loosening one's grip on the victim's neck isn't the same as performing the Heimlich maneuver.

"The CCP lifted a billion people out of poverty"

Basically any policy was better than Mao's economic development plans. The deception is in how the argument is framed.

There is also the question of the unseen. Misallocating resources by over investing in infrastructure isn't easy to see. A high speed railroad is easily observable. Harder to see the lost opportunities for innovation or other economic activity because central planners chose to build out tofu-tower real estate bubbles.

Breaking a shop window employes the glazier, but what would the shop owner have done with his money otherwise? Invested in inventory? Developed a new innovative product?
> men who domestically abuse their wives

> known abusive husband

Not sure what you’re referring to here. If you’re analogizing what Biden said with domestic abuse, that’s just ridiculous. It’s more akin to telling the wife they’re going to need to divorce if she doesn’t stop threatening the children. If you’re saying the US in general has a history of doing things that could be compared to domestic abuse, sure, but so could all parties involved, particularly Russia. So we’re back at square one.
Noted it in my list as well, thank you!
Seems like a cool place to work, but I'm always a little weary of venture backed open source companies. When the board wants a liquidity event they'll win over users every time- put more features behind a paywall or force everyone onto a SaaS platform.

I remember the times when I was the only Thunderbird user in an Outlook infested company. I remember it was crazy fast, especially real-time search folders were a game changer for me, so I could filter messages however I liked and let them appear in multiple folders without affecting performance.

I haven't used it in a while, but if it's true, it's a pity that once so useful and fast piece of software deteriorate so hard. One would expect that a stale project can only benefit from the newer hardware to become crazy fast ...

I don’t believe this is true. I think it’s much more nuanced. While some culture war things exist in the context of academia, like DEI, other culture war topics like abortion and qualified immunity have institutional power in the courts. We should definitely avoid black and white cultural notions and over expansion of analysis that confirms existing bias…
The anti-vaccine movement is one of the most dangerous mind-viruses in the world. After Covid exacerbated it, we now see lower levels of vaccinations for all types of disease in the West. Millions will die or be physically impaired due to their inability to process information.

Is JMAP really enough of an improvement over the standards it is trying to replace to warrant throwing out old, working code built to the old standards? Apple Mail on my iPhone uses IMAP and seems plenty fast for me. Is it the best use of Thunderbird's limited resources to support a new standard, and adding correspondingly fewer other improvements in the meantime? I can understand why they might decide "no."

I've looked into Oil a bit, and I think Andy has the right idea for how to go about updating the legacy scripts. I've written a few local scripts in Oil and it's a definite upgrade from Bash.

The mean salary for an NHS nurse is £33k, if you need to go to a foodbank on that salary, you'll need to go to a foodbank on £36k or £40k.

Yes, there has been mismanagement with the recruitment pipeline, because every government prefers to pillage poorer nations for their healthcare staff since it's quicker than training them.

But remember, that's not the original claim is it - I didn't say the Conservatives are doing a perfect (or even good) job, I said they're not "squeezing it dry of funding" and not "trying to privatise it", which are both, still, false.

Also "outsourcing the lucrative parts" - give source for your claim please. They do cross subsidize, allowing private patients to pay for treatment in NHS hospitals, but that's not the same thing.
Let's say the open market price is 10 pesos to one dollar, and the official rate is 3 pesos to one dollar. You want to buy $10 of stuff that's priced internationally, such as gasoline. How much does it cost?

At the official rate, that's 30 pesos. But in practice you can't get the official rate, because of the currency controls. You have to pay 100 pesos. So people who can access the official rate get to be comparatively wealthy.

Conversely, tourists come in not knowing this, or foreign businesses which can't access the grey market, and are fleeced for their dollars at a fraction of their worth.

Completely agree with this skepticism. It reminds me of when people claim that TikTok is now a "search engine", as if entertaining/slick videos (even if they're reliably surfaced via search query) are going to be more useful on the whole than information I can skim and read [0].

On the other hand, I do agree with people speculating that LLM-AI interfaces will seriously hurt Google's bottom line, e.g. reducing the space for search ads, which represent the majority of its revenue.

It's probably as inevitable as every other technological advance that some warned us to avoid. Even if banned in some Western countries, I don't see every advanced nation willingly cooperating.
For a company that's entirely remote, I wonder how the logistics of this was handled.

(e.g. how were people informed, de-provisioning access, laptops/corp asset returns)
That makes sense, thanks for the context!

What kind of content do you think they imagined as use cases for local network http server over bonjour? Like for a small business? Or household? Or giving strangers access to something when you happened to be physically adjacent and on the same network?

It still seems like kind of evidence of a decentralized networking environment that never really came to be... bonjour in general kind of is, although it's still there and gets used for some specific things. But we have ended up doing a lot more connections "cloud-mediated" instead of peer-to-peer.
Because employment is social. There's no rule that says you can't rub your stomach. But if you consistently find woman coworkers and stand around them vigorously rubbing your stomach, there's a good case for management to put an end to that.

There's no "rule" that can stop that kind of thing. People have to be reasonable and understand that it's just about "comfort". And silly people made up rules about "making people uncomfortable" and, predictably, people set about testing that rule because that's what people will always do. "Well, why is THIS creepy, but not THAT?!"

Nobody can tell you, Gene. We just all fucking know it. It's pretty obvious if you're not being obtuse about it.

An the other note: I'm sorry you seem to find yourself in situations where you are consistently (or with a great possibility) are getting fucked over by people. Might say something about your adherence to obtuseness, but I suppose I'll take your point here that you don't care what my experience says. Duly noted. I won't bring it up again.
As a homelabber myself (enterprise networking + servers) there are quite a few things to consider before jumping ahead with such a setup. It can be rewarding but you'll need to commit to it and be prepared to troubleshoot - you're basically a small business IT shop at this point. Having some network/IT background is obviously helpful.

Keep in mind that the power consumption of all the equipment is quite substantial and must be taken into account before starting. Also as your setup becomes more complex backups, redundancy, and security must all be considered - it's easy to run your network dead in the water if you aren't prepared for it, and unlike a single home router you can't just simply reboot and reset if everything relies on the network. For instance assume that all your machines rely on your NFS server to access files - if that server goes down, how quickly can you replace it? If the RADIUS server goes down and your devices can't authenticate across your switches and APs, do you have a fallback method of access?

Finally unless your family knows how to maintain the system as well, you'll be the sole IT contact and will have to do quite a bit of support especially at the start. You'll need a plan of how to remotely manage everything if you're say on vacation since things like to crop up then.
There is never any forced obligation.

The point is that every parent should treat their children well enough that they love and honor their parents so much that they want to do all they can to help when the parents need help.

Even the worst psychopath parent has a bit of incentive to treat their children well if they knew that this was the difference between having some comfort in their old age or being forgotten in some dreadful government facility being half taken care of by some stranger who doesn't give a fuck if they lie in a pool of their feces for hours.

> Non-optimal solutions usually are visible/more cumbersome to write

How's that? The difference between a suboptimal and an optimal solution can be perfectly valid normal code for lots of procedures. It's not something that's knowable without semantic meaning of what the code's trying to do.
there's a magic with fast refresh which is that the code doesn't need to be rebundled and redeployed after a change. this would correspond to the linking and execution phase in c++. makes for an amazing experience when you are doing interactive development, orders of magnitude better in terms of responsiveness to the code you're writing.
