People on the lower rungs of society can get access to free banking.

In the USA at least, it can be difficult to get a bank account if you don't have much money. And since companies don't like writing checks, people working jobs at the lower end of the economic latter have to get special "paycheck cards" that extract relatively large fees for the service they offer.

Imagine making poverty wages, yet 2-5% of your paycheck is taken from you as a fee for not having a bank account (which you don't have because you make poverty wages).
Sadly, many Western governments got “inspired” by the CCP, I agree. Though what happened in China was on a completely different level.

But I hope that in the coming years, western societies will investigate government actions during the Covid craze. That’s the advantage of Democratic societies, there is at least a chance that sh*t gets cleaned up.

Is Google Image Search really a significant component in many people's adult entertainment process? If so, gosh, that's like a step up from using Wikipedia, but not a very big step.
I would say that nextcloud offers what you seek...Since nextcloud would live under a domain name (or subdomain name) that you control, hence ideally such a domain name would be memorable to you, i would say the scenario you noted is possible.

Here's the brochure/"marketing-y" link to the nextcloud info around sharing, such as via links: https://nextcloud.com/sharing/

And, here's the more in depth info that goes a little deeper: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/user_manual/en/file...

Note: Instead of sharing the file via memorable links, if possible, having each user download the nextcloud client and sync the file that way is more ideal/better/faster...of course, that approach may not align with your use-case. I hope the above helps! Good luck!
I've only had this experience with one game that was marked as not supported at all (Batman: Arkham Asylum). After first setting a different version of Proton for the game as per internet instructions I could not get past the startup menu at all. I tried all the buttons and got quite frustrated that I had to quit the game with the available shortcuts every time.

Then I found out I could just click next on the touch screen :')

I haven't had any issues with games since. Lost of games, even some marked as not playable, ended up working fine.
Generally when this happens it is because of context. You are clearly setting out to have fun and searching for the joy you did find originally. Most of the time this context is either the problem space, team/political issues or the random tooling in the ecosystem that complicates a solution for better or worse.

I'd say your best bet is find something cool you would like to build. Ideally, there will be some part you have to deeply focus on a tech problem that will require you to stop thinking about anything else and really immerse yourself. This would count even if it is only a few hours.

I've found it fun and useful to have a small list of tools/utils or mini projects that I could use day to day or even something I could just randomly say I built. It is also usually the case that for tech people the most joy comes from the idea and early stages of creation and then finally shipping it. I'd say it would be best to have one or two small projects you can definitely wrap up instead of a massive one that becomes a drudge.

Also focus on truly how much power we have with computers. It is one of the only disciplines where the biggest and almost only limitation is what you can imagine and design.
I think it's also that you and all your friends are invited to completely different livestreams. No one feels left out even though they physically are.

Like it or not, you're supposed to fit in with people around you. If you can't do that then there's something either wrong with you or them.

That inherent urge to fit in is being digitally compensated, and I don't think it's healthy to avoid being challenged by all these factors we take for granted, from something as simple as eye contact to behavioral consequences.
If it helps, an ex-coworker reconnecting with me to discuss job opportunities would be fine with me. It wouldn't bother me. We both know we're talking about jobs, maybe we were good acquaintances, maybe not.

I guess what I'm getting at is that I wouldn't be offended if an old coworker contacted me about a job after not hearing from them for years. We're all busy and have many priorities in our lives. It's kind of understood that we can't keep up with everyone.
My understanding is that in those days the press and gov were on the same "page" but it was more like when airlines hike prices or lower prices in response to a competitor rather than having actual embeds offering their opinion on what was received facts and what was "misinformation". If Johnson or Nixon has had that level of access and influence, I doubt the VN war protests or Watergate complex scandal would have been as large as they were.
Why would you not want the employees to join a union?
You've missed the point. It's not desirable to have listings which contain false advertising; the remedy for that is to restrict false advertising, not make every buyer chase the seller in a contract dispute after the fact. That would be insanity.
I honestly think that, a parallel ML system to explain in words the decision of the deciding ML, is the only way we will get explainable ML.

That is somewhat analogous to how humans decide. Our brain runs over data and various potential outcomes and maybe reasoning and then decides. A bit later it generates a post-how explanation of said decision.I think we all have experienced ourselves and others having a totally wrong explanation about decisions but it is some how more satisfying than “a gut feel” or “because I said so”.

The "Adobe PDF Experience", for me, is "locks up if I try to use it for smartcard signatures", which is 98% of the reason I open a PDF outside the browser.

Add a sprinkling of "spend money to upgrade" harassment and you've really got the "experience" ready.

The prospect of adding this "experience" to a browser... No. Stop. Go away.

Seymour Hersh is not credible anymore. This is all based on a single anonymous source, that hasn't been supported by any other sources or evidence. He is known to have just made stuff up to suit, which is probably why the NY Times and other papers passed on this and he had to put it on a new substack.

As someone who primarily writes rust for work, it appeals to me because I feel much more confident I can fix an issue myself if I need to. Same with python (which I'm equally familiar with), although I have much less confidence when modifying python code that I won't break something unrelated.

I isolate because it's the safest way to live in terms of avoiding Covid.

It works just fine for me: everything I need can be ordered/delivered to my front door/mailbox.

I live alone (with my cat so, far from alone... but I digress) and am not immunocompromised or otherwise ill.

In fact, the opposite is true: I won the Richmond Half-Marathon in 2018 in a time of 1:55 [sub-9-minutes/mile] (Men 70-75); finished 3rd in 2019 in 1:57; and am determined to win this year's race (Men 75-80; I turn 75 on June 8 and the race is on November 11, 2023).

People I know keep getting Covid; some 525 people/day in the U.S. die of Covid; long Covid basically destroys lives and is doing so to millions of Americans.

It's as if by declaring an emergency over, by some magical spell it becomes true to many; not to me.

I already know EXACTLY how long I will continue to live this way and have told this to my family (daughter/son-in-law/6-year-old grandson who live in Pittsburgh, whom I last saw in person in November 2019).

When the U.S. death rate from Covid equals that from car crashes (45,000 in 2022; 120 people/day), that is when I will toss my 3M N95 masks in the trash and live like everyone else.

What with the current figure of 525 deaths/day — up from around 300, the lowest it's ever been, in October 2022, since when it's risen steadily — I project around 2027-2030.
Your original point of contention was that CBDC isn't even a cryptocurrency. It is presumably using the tech that was built by the crypto community, like smart contracts.

> This is a bit like saying "the darkness is bad, so the solution is light, and if the light ever becomes blinding, the solution is more light"

Completely untenable analogy. Why people say is that the solution is more speech is due to the antecedent concept of the marketplace of ideas and that, by and large, ideas are sifted via free speech and the good ones last while the bad ones die. You cannot have this sorting process in a system that stifles free speech.

If you want to attack free speech absolutism, at least attack Mill's axioms, not some made-up poorly-formed straw man of an analogy.
In the US it is commonly held belief that the government powers must be restricted because all governments slide into corruption more quickly without.
Outside of actual raster image formats, PDF is the only file type I can export to and be confident it will render correctly on the recipient's machine. SVGs are a mess, MS Office documents are a crapshoot unless everyone is using official Microsoft Office, and I probably don't need to even discuss HTML.

There are PDFs out there which will only render correctly in Adobe Acrobat, but unless I'm using some niche Adobe-only feature, I basically never encounter problems. I've also heard that PDFs are technically horrible under-the-hood, but for some reason they just work like nothing else does!
IMAX is just too rare for most moviegoers. I'd have to drive 5 hours to watch a movie on IMAX, and thought I'd have loved to see Avatar 2 on it, it's just not worth it for most people.

> it can't unless if it instantly wants to be insolvent when you withdraw $101

No. This is the fundamental misconception alluded to earlier. A bank with $100 of assets and $100 of liabilities can made a $50 loan and wind up with $150 of assets and $150 of liabilities. Deposits are a bank's liability. Every fractional-reserve bank is insolvent in the short run. (This is inherent to leverage.)

More realistic: a 10% reserve requirement. Bank has $100 of assets, of which $10 are reserves, and $98 of liabilities. ($2 equity.) Customer wants to borrow $20. Can the bank make the loan? The answer is yes. It winds up with $120 of assets including $10 of reserves, a deficiency. So it borrows $2 in the interbank markets and winds up with $12 of reserves against $120 of assets. Note that the liability side doesn't even come into play: that's a capital-requirement question, where defining what counts as an asset to what degree is a tomes-thick discussion [1].

That's why we have reserve and capital requirements. Leveraged banking doesn't work without supervision. Because can’t and shouldn’t aren’t naturally enforced.

It's tricky because you can be well informed without being biased. In the case of glyphosate, it just so happens that being well informed comes off as shilling because the genpop conjecture is void of nuance
> Social media is global, so any effects it has should be visible globally.

That isn't true at all.

There may be a hundred factors at play, which are all different in different cultures, regions, countries, etc. The cultural context of an individual can dramatically change how they react to situations, pressures, and mental illness.

'Por-Bazhyn': The Mysterious Island Fortress in Siberia
YM and YPM are amazing in that there are almost zero other political comedies that have any life beyond a year or two. Those shows are still hilarious even 30 years later.

Last time this topic came up, someone put me on to "The Thick of It" which is quite different but also very funny. Too bad you have to subscribe to BritBox to see all of it, AFAIK.
If you bought anything pharmaceutical in the last ten years, chances are quite high it was manufactured in India using raw materials from China, and then either the formulation was done in the USA or the packaging was done in the USA to avoid having to label the source:

> (2021) "Here we use previously non-publicly available data to describe levels and trends in the manufacturing locations of the most commonly used prescription pharmaceuticals, off-patent generic drugs, intended to be consumed by Americans. We find that the base ingredients required for the manufacturing of these prescription drugs are overwhelmingly and increasingly manufactured in non-domestic locations, specifically India and China."

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8109232/

In turn, the raw materials going into the India pharmaceutical pipeline tend to come from China more than anywhere else:

> "Even as the nation clamoured for banning products and cancelling contracts emanating from China, it’s apparent that, at least in pharma, it may not quite work out as imports from China account for 80% of total raw materials for making medicines, also called APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients)."

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/...

However, this doesn't get a lot of corporate media coverage, given that pharma is among the top advertisers.
In case you haven't seen, the Switch OLED screen took about six months[0] of showing a static screenshot (zero motion!) at full brightness for any burn in to occur whatsoever, and it was barely there. If you're doing literally anything else, the OLED pixels will get exercise and this burn in would not have even happened.

Longevity is really not a concern with the types of OLED panels we're talking about. (It's more of a concern for the technology LG puts into their TV W-OLED panels, but those do not exist in handheld sizes.)

I have not seen a single report of anyone experiencing burn-in on the Switch OLED outside of this extreme, unrealistic test. I also haven't seen anyone who owns a smartphone report that their smartphone had burn-in since many, many years ago, even though there are plenty of static elements on a smartphone screen, including the wireless signal indicators. QD-OLED would be nice, but it is absolutely unnecessary for longevity based on the available data.

Switch OLED is also incredibly nicer to look at than even decent IPS panels, let alone the Steam Deck's current awful screen.

This sounds like the modern version of the story about the newspaper crossword puzzle that featured codewords used for the D-Day invasion during WWII.

There was a mini-genre of conspiracy theory themed shows after the popularity of the X-Files: "The Lone Gunmen" and "Millennium" were part of the larger X-Files universe and "Roswell" was the X-Files for teens/YA. Maybe something about the turn of the century or the rise in people who had access to the Internet that made it a ripe time for popularizing conspiracy themed entertainment.

Why? Most modern PC games come with insanely privileged DRM and anti-cheat measures that lock down and cross-examine everything else your PC is doing. If Denuvo can secure games from being pirated over months of concerted effort, why can't something similar be used to secure my online banking app while still letting me do whatever I want when I'm not using banking?
> I fly in this airspace. (KAUS and KSAT and KDFW)

> KAUS might be the most classic example of Class C airspace in existence. They only have 3 App/Dep positions with a spare 4th, and the top of the charlie is 4500 feet. I can overfly that in a light sport.

> Austin airspace isn't nearly as busy as you make it out to be.

Fair enough, local knowledge FTW. I made a suggestion - "it might be time to upgrade to Class B" as a systematic solution for an airspace that appears to be getting busier. It certainly appears to meet the FAA criteria based purely on stats.

> And in the context of this incident, arguing that KAUS needs to be upgraded to a Class B is kind of non-sequitur. A class B wouldn't solve anything except to make the area airspace wildly more restrictive.

You must have missed the part where I mentioned that Class B designation comes with staffing changes for ATCs which would presumably positively impact such occurrences :-) Maybe the alternative is better training, better operations in mornings, better rules around ATC IFR ground ops. 140+ dead people is 140+ dead people. Let's see what the NTSB says.

Also, with the plans to expand the airport with more gates, I'm guessing changes are coming to that airspace regardless [1][2]. Though the additional 17C-35C runway appears to be past 2037 [2] Pg 17, [3].

> > I fly in this airspace. (KAUS and KSAT and KDFW)

If you're flying in and out of KDFW you should have no trouble with a future Class B KAUS :-)

Nice blog post but clearly doesn't solve the main issue. The problem is not outage caused by human or automation mistake. It happens and will happened again. All is about support. He didn't get help with regular support channels, he had to use "special HN support". How many cases have been ignored because someone doesn't know to make a little fuss on social media?
Also, the resulting UX for a third-party PDF reader is ugly and clunky.
I'm no expert on Linux security but what I've seen when provisioning a VPS from anybody is a system with the base OS installed and that's it. SSH on port 22. Root account active. Accounts not needing a private key to login. No firewall. Known vulnerabilities in base packages unpatched.

Lots of articles around the internet about hardening a Linux server, the ones I've tried take a bit more than 30 min to follow the steps, a lot longer if I'm trying to actually learn and understand what each thing is doing, why it's important, what the underlying vulnerability is, and how I might need to customize some settings for my particular use case.
On linux I'm pretty happy with Okular, but on Windows I usually just use my web browser. What do you use?
A reasonable, but not always available, choice is to use integer quantities of the divided quantity. If you're dollars and cents, express things in cents. If you need tenths of a cent, express things in milliDollars. If you need 1/8th dollars, use those. Have a conversion to pretty values when displayed.

Sometimes you really do need to have a pretty good estimate of pi dollars, but often not.

>Glasgow is the epitome of "fuck around and find out"

As a non-UK-an, can I ask what happened?
Not so fast, pardner. The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

You are making two mistakes here: the simplest one is thinking that the winner of the argument is whoever has the last word. This is very frequently not the case, as any troll could tell you. Often, the power move is to get opponents mad and then move on, leaving them impotently fuming about how terrible that person is.

You're also identifying with the larger group at the societal/species level, which is valid, but is also a way of ignoring problems in the here and now. It's like zooming out from a bloody battlefield to look at the earth in space. With an extraplanetary perspective, Earth looks so beautiful and peaceful...but that doesn't help a single person who is impacted by the bloody battle.
I've paired my Steam Deck with nreal light AR glasses and its been an absolute joy to play games on.

I might be in the minority here but I just stopped using my switch and my gaming PC entirely. I'm sure there will be a time when a certain triple A game comes out and I'll go back to using a dedicated gaming PC, but i just get so much utility out of the SteamDeck. I have VSCode running on it, Netflix, Steam, GoG, etc.

I'm ready for what ever Steam puts out next.
I miss this show and its characters.

My father was a stenographer in a ministry (perhaps the Bernard equivalent), and he loved this show because it hit close to home, despite not being from the same country, issues were still the same. And I loved watching it with him.

Now all three of the stars are dead, my father has passed away too, and every time I see a clip of the show on Youtube, it hurts a little, the nostalgia cuts.
