Parallels now automatically downloads Windows 11 and sets it up for you (including skipping Microsoft account), just tried today. However, it is not an activated Windows install, and it will take you to the Store asking you to purchase a Windows 11 Pro license for $199, but you can use it unactivated with the typical non-activated Windows restrictions. According to internet commentators, Windows 11 Pro x86/x64 retail keys are now acceptable whereas they previously were not, so if you have any of those lying around (or a Windows 10, or 8.1, or 7 Pro key as they are often grandfathered-in), they'll do the trick.

Which, if you are buying Windows for this purpose, I'd strongly recommend just buying a retail package. If you buy in the Microsoft Store, it will be tied to your Microsoft Account which isn't really desirable, as retail keys are transferrable between computers [1] whereas OEM keys and MSA-purchased keys aren't.

[1] Many people don't know this - don't buy the OEM version of Windows for $20 cheaper. It will be tied to your unique hardware - but retail keys won't. Upgrade your workstation three years from now? If you have a retail key, you can wipe Windows from your old PC and activate on the new one, completely within the license, with no need to purchase again.
Instead of scarcity we can create our own inflation. We can buy $50 khakis or $900 khakis.

Why would someone sue over what is likely less than $100 in total costs? That's silly. You can only recover actual cost.

Plus, who wouldn't be proud to be able to claim "I launched something that was shot down by an F-22!"?
As a distro I wouldnt want to rely on uefi implementations that range from ok to garbage tier (no cmdline arguments, hidden boot selection menu etc)

I want to enter a sane booting environment as soon as possible (gummiboot, refind, grub). Also why not? Its basically free and In my experience doesnt really complicate secure boot.

I think your response represent a common trap that people fall into, where we treat "the media" as if it's one entity, whereas in fact it's many distinct entities with very different attributes.

When we blame "the media" by lumping them all together, it's like blaming "the Americans," when in fact there is a big diversity in what Americans do and think.
Yes I have also seen many videos where it makes mistakes. But also many where it prevented them.
> He has made the world significatly more full of hate

This is demonstrably false. Hate speech impressions and the number of tweets containing slurs are lower than they were pre-acquisition. He has actively reduced it. The TwitterSafety account provides this data.

Also if you're upset at Twitter for not censoring perspectives counter to the typical American left, are you also going to boycott Facebook, Youtube, WhatsApp, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc? Virtually all of these platforms host far-right influencers. Are you going to boycott ISPs for providing service to these people? Boycott Apple for selling them iPhones? These companies all have the same choice and ability to refuse services to these people. Why is only Elon the bad guy here?

Also, good to know where you stand. Letting Ben Shapiro post stupid shit on twitter is worse than literal slavery imposed on a group of people for their religious beliefs. Stay classy, HN.

Dev wasn't just stopped. The whole product was sunset and if you wanted to keep a semblance of what you had, you were forced to migrate to YouTube music. I saw the end of that crap rainbow and finally moved over to koel which has done just as much as I ever cared to use in Google music, but now I don't fear Google getting bored and killing the product in some future.
Agreed on the copyright issues! I got a strike for a short screen cast / video I made to demo a new feature I built to my boss -- it wasn't public, you had to have the link but I happened to feature some music (maybe 45-60 seconds) and it got taken down.

Similarly I see YT content creators asking people to turn off their FM radios lest they end up with copyrighted music in their videos. Surely both of these cases are fair use?
A sinister part of the hassle and headaches are that sometimes they are designed to be so convoluted such that only certain favorite developers are even qualified to take up the project at all. Keeping your friend out of the market is sometimes the point.

There's a dead reply to this calling the phrasing "perceived persecution" "gaslighting" that I think is somewhat interesting for a couple of reasons:

1) It's undeniable that Republicans have been complaining about this shit. It's also something not everyone agrees happens at the level of the complaint. So "perceived" seems like an accurate description of the situation.

2) There's mention of a "strangehold" on journalism from Democrats which is exactly one of the sorts of complaints I was mentioning: but it's also one that seems no truer today than it was when I was hearing it on radio stations 25 years ago. Mainstream media personalities complaining that no personalities like themselves existed in the mainstream media. From Rush on the radio then to today's wave either on cable TV or online, the song remains the same. This is why personally I think the claims of persecution is wildly overblown.
The way they're going about this investigation is reminiscent of how we figure things out in biology and neuroscience. Perhaps a biologist won't do the best job at fixing a radio [1], but they might do alright debugging neural networks.

Since complex systems are composed of simpler systems, seems like for any sufficiently complex system you'd be able to find subsets of it which are isomorphic which any sufficiently simple system.

Trillions and trillions of mutations and still the most dangerous H5N1 viruses were created a decade ago by Fouchier and Kawaoka. And how did that help us prepare for the inevitable natural evolution of the same virus?

Why would it have a negative impact on either the promoted businesses or the content creators?

Promoted businesses currently pay based on (an estimate of) the number of views that the video will get. This would trivially adjust to paying based on the number of views that the sponsorship within the video gets -- that's why I mentioned the requirement to make this available through analytics. If the cost per view stays the same for sponsors, they're now paying for a self-selecting audience of people who are not actively bothered by their ads. (I doubt I'm the only person who, if I as going to pay money for a VPN, would choose literally anything other than Nord VPN just as petty "revenge" for how much of my life they've wasted.) If this slightly-reduced audience does not sufficiently eat their marketing budget, they can find new creators to sponsor.

For the content creators, presumedly the target amount paid directly per skipped ad would be chosen to slightly exceed the expected payout of showing the ad. This is the same conceptual model Premium uses today. So even though the sponsor may be paying them for a 9.5 M view video instead of a 10 M view video -- the payout should more than cover the difference.

I agree that these marginal wins run into systematic concerns if more than, say, 5% or so of users start opting out of embedded advertising this way. But besides being incredibly unlikely -- what would it say about the business model of embedded advertising if 5% of YouTube customers were willing to pay to avoid it!?

The problem with "doing your own research" is that it is unworkable as a policy for the masses, as it leads most to settle on believing well-spoken hucksters. Humility to know when you should trust someone else as a guide is necessary until you've developed the personal experience+knowledge to evaluate sources independently.

China's zero-CoVID policy involved a lot more finesse than "bone-headed lockdowns."

After the initial Wuhan outbreak was brought under control in early 2020, the vast majority of people in China didn't experience another lockdown until well into 2022. Life was actually much more normal in China for most of the pandemic than people in the West tend to think. It was much more normal than in the West for much of the first two years of the pandemic.

From spring 2020 until spring 2022, the main measures were 2-3 weeks of quarantine for people arriving in China, contact-tracing (supported by smartphone apps), and large-scale PCR testing (imagine testing everyone in a city of 10 million people in 3 days, and then doing it again). Lockdowns were rare until mid-2022, and were reserved for situations in which the other measures weren't enough.

That strategy worked extremely well for a long time - long enough to develop vaccines and administer them to 90% of the population.

I don't know when the decision was made to transition out of zero-CoVID, but the transition began in November 2022. It appears that the government initially wanted to do a slow transition, but then decided to completely open the floodgates in early December 2022. The fact that the virus spread so rapidly after that decision is a pretty dramatic demonstration of just how effective the measures were beforehand. After they lifted control measures, everyone was infected within two months.
There will have to be at least one store that takes cash, though, or the people who don't have cards or phones will starve.

I replaced Grub w/ rEFInd a few years ago and I've never looked back. The ability to just scan filesystems and boot images is so simple/easy compared to the Grub menu edit and "reinstall" process you have to go through every time you want to make a change. I've never used systemd-boot but highly recommend rEFInd over Grub.

I also have a Python script for installing Ubuntu on native ZFS w/ encryption and using rEFInd. You can use this script from a live boot environment. If nothing else, can easily review for how to do it manually.

What’s a reasonable rate to get a handyman out to a site on short notice?
Sometimes the delay or threat of delay is enough to take a project from being profitable to being unprofitable for any local developer. This sometimes explains why you have vacant lots in areas like the bay area where any and all land would be in demand. Doesn't matter how much demand there would be if you can't afford to capture it at the pricepoint it exists at.

That's essentially a process-abort level panic, which then your whole environment would die. Unfortunately there's not much we can do about that. This will catch all unwindable panics however, so that's quite a lot but yeah there's an edge-case.

> The word “recall” in terms of autos has built up a lot of history/prior art in people’s minds as something to really pay attention to

Tesla didn't choose the word "recall." The legal process known as "recall" chose the word. It's not like people at Tesla debated over whether or not to call it a "recall" instead of a "software update."

If Tesla had it their way, they'd have quietly slipped it into any other regular software update alongside updates to the stupid farting app, if they cared to fix it at all.

When a company issues a recall, it's because there's pressure from regulators, or investors, or both, and/or a risk of class action lawsuits and fines. Using the word "recall" isn't a preference or even a synonym. It's a legal move meant to protect them.

If Tesla gets sued over a flaw, "we issued a software update" isn't legally defensible. "We cooperated with official government bodies to conduct a recall," does because a recall describes an official process that requires manufacturers do very specific things in specific ways as prescribed by law. In exchange, manufacturers are legally protected (usually) from lawsuits related to that flaw.
I believe that if a crime is sufficiently bad that we should prosecute for it, it absolutely merits the use of scarce resources. And if we can't muster up the resources to get humans to do the investigation, accusing, trying, etc it must not be that bad of a crime.

Once algorithmic prosecution is enabled, we could easily see 100x as many accusations happen. That's the blessing of automation. 100x is actually a low bar. Many automations make millions more things possible.

I don't think it would be a good world with a million times as much law enforcement with basically all of it automated.
You could run this analysis on a laptop very easily.

Typical narcissistic image keeping
You're still not getting it.

The thought experiment regarding diversity challenges the (typically) inconsistent implementation of it where it's more like a candy story where you pick what you like (or deem socially acceptable) and dismiss or even discourage anything else. That's not true diversity. It's equity.

Similarly, as you suggest that representation matters, and if you'd consistently believe that, then we should immediately reallocate a huge amount of women to do the shittiest, riskiest, lowest paid jobs that men currently do. Likewise, we should immediately deploy a huge amount of men in female-dominated professions, like HR, psychology, the like.

I bet quite a few would now lose their appetite for "representation". We might as well just stop pretending and admit that we have no principles or beliefs, we just want whatever is best for us or our "group", whatever that means.
That’s exactly what some people do. And it’s even possible to run older games that way. The x86-on-ARM Windows thingy is no Rosetta, but it’s pretty usable.
It certainly is usable. I'd used Telegram FOSS from F-Droid for quite long before switching to Nekogram (also on F-Droid), a third-party Telegram client with some extra features.

Incidentally, Signal is still not available on F-Droid, and Signal developers are known to be hostile towards third-party clients (for "security reasons." Almost like I've heard that argument before from a certain smartphone manufacturer...)

> [The volcanic] activity is responsible for creating the immense walls of water that separate the islands from the mainland.

In some sense, that's a true statement, right? The volcanic activity didn't create the water itself, but the "wall-like" nature of that water does depend on the islands jutting out above the surface. Otherwise there would be no "immense walls" to refer to.
Did you mean /opt/homebrew? For Intel Macs it's /usr/local. You can't just delete it. You give up binary packages if you install it anywhere else.
No thank you. I don't want a walled garden where Apple has absolute authority to enforce anti-competitive policies like they do with the existing App Store (especially on iOS), and where they require you to pay an annual fee to publish anything, and where they tie everything to an AppleID.

I use a Macbook for work, and every day I go without having to create an AppleID is a good day.

What I want is a dang CLI package manager, and Homebrew is pretty alright at that. No, it's not perfect, but it's far better than anything Apple has done related to app stores.

In the US, the political will for "eliminate homelessness by giving them homes" is a political non-starter in a lot of places. In the left-liberal places, you've got entrenched interests fighting tooth and nail to prevent any housing at all from being built, and in right wing areas you've got a "being poor is God's punishment" attitude pushing back against any positive change at all. To make matters worse, any effort to solve the issue results in a large influx of homeless people, because when the standard across the country is one step above "hunt them for sport", you come across as a haven.

In the places it has been tried, housing-first solutions have been wildly successful. It turns out getting your shit together is a lot easier when you don't have the constant stressors of living on the street.
