Actually, automation is bad for the economy. Imagine something like Star Trek replicators, maybe a bit different of sorts, how would you still do economy with something like that around (and is able to replicate itself so you can make more of these)? Automation kills economy, because economy means humans have to spend time to do the work and split work to fulfill their needs -- which is why economy exists in the first place: You make weapon, I go hunting with that for us both, this kinda stuff. If all that is done by machines, there is no need for any of that anymore: Economy = dead.

What the IBM CEO is on about is the boomers dropping like flies out of the workforce now and the generations following are much less in numbers (demographics and all that). Which means this will put more pressure on automation of various things. But it will also put more pressure on how to do taxes and other such things, because a lot of that isn't prepared for "inverted" population pyramids, automation, and related issues.
About downgrade - you can host a static website in s3 directly, without a server at all. Maybe that's an option to explore. You can even use your own domain using a CNAME record.

You can push quite a lot on such machine. I used it as a shell access for my stuff from any place in the world, instant messages, IRC. Classic IM networks died so that part is gone as well, but a VPN like wireguard is a great choice.

A small monitoring system should fit.

A clean install of mariadb or postgress is around 40-60MB of RAM as far as I recall. This should open some doors as well.

A webdav/carddav/caldav server should also fit. I am about to check sabre/dav (sabre.io) software on a similar machine. So you can have a selfhosted calendar or access to your files on the go. Webdav can be handled by a web server directly (natively by nginx or apache etc).

I am recently charmed by Archivebox app, it makes backup of a website using multiple methods. UI is a custom Django Admin interface. It takes below 200 MB on my system.

A Teeworlds game server, if you are nostalgic towards quake but want a simpler experience for a break with friends.

Make sure to checkout the list at GitHub under awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted. Many, many inspirations there.
I agree but feel Obama may not be an apt comparison. He spearheaded or allowed and covered for a lot of shady progression of the MIC in his time, from domestic surveillance and big bumps in prosecutions of whistleblowers to the prevelance of drone strikes on non combatants, including known extra judicial strikes of Americans overseas.

That said I’m not sure a modern president can really go through a tenure without having to make some tough choices and having some black eyes on their record. They are a hostage to many factors they don’t control, ranging from economic to even world affairs. Biden for all his faults is in a lose/lose when it comes to a situation like Ukraine/Russia. Even doing nothing is villifying, direct intervention is vilifying and could trigger larger conflicts. Discreet support is villifying too. There’s no win in such a situation.

This is not accurate. When Carter appointed Volcker, inflation was a dire problem, having reached upwards of 20%. He hiked the fed fund rates in full point increments, provoking howls of protest because it sent the economy into a full recession. But it took over a decade for inflation to come down to near zero range. (That's where the term stagflation comes from. There was zero GDP but high inflation.) Volcker could very easily have succumbed to the pressure and reversed course, but he did not. Reagan refused to criticize him, because there was general agreement that high inflation was just not tenable. It is the cruelest tax because it affects the low-income the most. President Carter did not solve inflation. He appointed Vocker towards the end of his term, and it was not the priority it should have been throughout his term. Inflation had been festering since the Nixon administration. Nixon confronted the problem with his disastrous use of price controls. Gerald Ford tried combatting it with his WIN (Whip Inflation Now) campaign. By the time Volcker was appointed, he was able to hike rates because he was given the political space to do so. But he had to endure a lot of nasty criticism at the time.
I wouldn't bother. I use silver solder for special occasions (Felder stuff) but it's too expensive to use all the time. You're probably fine with 60/40 loctite multicore. Just keep your parts, iron and boards clean and it's no harder.
So many comments on this topic assume that Google is the bad guy: that Google suggested a payment for anticompetitive reasons.

Alternatively, Apple could have forced Google to pay, as part of a money skimming exercise because Apple has Google by the balls so why not get a cut?

Without more information, it is just picking sides to speculate that Google is the bad guy and Apple is the good guy.

Barbers aren't an industry job nor a job you can offshore. Neither are doctors, teachers, policemen, garbagemen, plumbers ... you get the point. Vital service jobs will always be safe, especially unionized ones at government or city level.

But I was talking about industry jobs in the private sector, like my coding job and my friend's job at the local car factory which on the other hand ... well, we're not too safe from automation or offshoring if our companies don't stay bleeding edge, competitive and highly profitable for them to decide it's worth investing in us metatags further.

This is the most bizarre argument. Of course you can use build tools to generate static web pages.

The issue is whether they are being generated dynamically by a server. This project isn't. You run a build-tool once and then can post the .html page anywhere. It's static.

I get it but what did they expect Carter to do? Secretly sell Iran stinger missiles and use the proceeds to fund a civil war in Nicaragua while supplying Saddam Hussein weapons for his invasion of Iran?
"capture the table files before starting the database server again. And then pay through the nose for a data recovery specialist."

I don't see how you can think this. Amazon is not the only payment processor, it's not the only inventory management company, not the only delivery company, not the only online store company.

There are any number of permutations of different service providers you could use to sell online. In fact, a very large number of people who sell online don't use Amazon at all. Or they will sell on Amazon as well as in other channels, or even direct.

Prof. Daniel Abadi talks about the two meanings of consistency in this blogpost: https://dbmsmusings.blogspot.com/2019/07/overview-of-consist...

I'd argue that in your second case, there's no consistency "external" to the system; you've now defined a larger, distributed system that includes your external parties, and now you're in consistency-as-in-CAP territory, rather than consistency-as-in-ACID.
>Also the rise of radical Islam has more to do with Arab countries and Israel

Not in that area of the world. The Deobandi school is an indigenous South-West Asian school, a radical version of that was wed to a Pakistan going off the rails under Zia and we see the results today. It is a parallel to the Saudi-radical Wahhabi convergence of the time, but still an entirely local development.

I'd be interested in hearing the most credible/reputable sources speaking out in favor of these changes. I've exclusively seen commentators dunking on this (rightfully so), across the political spectrum. To be clear: I'm wondering if we can find specific people speaking up for this, not an analysis of whose side of the culture war is most culpable for it.
I think IBMs CEO is being a bit on the optimistic side with regards to the actualy capabilities of AI..

However, I do hope strong AI will emerge eventually, and it will start some singularity-type event that basically makes most humans redundant.

If nobody's got a job, nobody's got money, money becomes redundant too.. If machines are taking care of mankinds basic needs, we become free to pursue higher purposes than merely surviving by working.

As fulfilling as our white-collar jobs may be, we'd still not do exactly THAT if we weren't paid.. We'd do something slightly different that we personally wanted..

I love programming, but I love programming my little useless hobby projects more than I enjoy programming whatever the company I work for pays me to do (even if those projects are honestly pretty cool at times)..

When I was a kid, I was sure that by the time I'd be an adult, I'd not have to work, because I had already seen robots assembling cars!! I lacked the imagination to think that mankind weren't coorporating towards the obvious goal of making survival, production of food, housing and other required work be done by machines.. I didn't realize at the time how silly my fellow humans were..

But something like a strong, general-purpose artificial intelligence, it should force the decision to either kill everyone who becomes redundant, or set mankind free to pursue higher, personal goals, while the machines work for them.. I'd prefer the latter option.
Braid ALWAYS works if you know how to buy it, store it and use it properly.

Buy it -> chemtronics soder-wick. Do not buy anything else.

Store it -> store it in a zip lock bag not just chucked in your draw or crap box.

Use it -> Use an iron which can actually deliver energy quickly without overheating the workpiece (Metcal!), place the wick at least 1cm in from the end onto the joint and hit it hard from the other side in a iron, wick, joint sandwich until it stops creeping up the wick. Do not stop until it's done or it's game over for that joint.

99% of bad wick and soldering experiences are crap irons, crap solder and crap wick.

Amazing that someone who was exposed to so much radiation cleaning up the experimental reactor in Canada that his urine set off a Geiger Counter for a month has been able to live this long.

Absolutely! One way to resolve this is to just say "we will not grant personhood to anything non-human", or "we will not grant personhood to anything non-biological". There is just no way to defend such a stance.

Another way to resolve it would be, "we will not grant personhood to anyone non-white", or "we will never grant personhood to anyone who's homosexual". I'm sure that's not your stance, but the fact that those stances are equally arbitrary as the one you propose should give you pause.

I believe there is good reason to think harder about the question of who deserves to be considered to have personhood than to simply go with what your gut feeling tells you. I am not of the belief that there's anything special about protein, nucleic acids and carbohydrates which makes it capable of sentience where silicon is not.
If you are going to do electronics soldering a lot, I would personally recommend to stump up for one of the RF soldering systems (Thermaltronics or Metcal) as absolutely soon as you can possibly afford them.

The difference to your soldering is night and day. I cry for all the time I wasted soldering before I got a Metcal system.

Given that he is recommending Wellers that are in the same price range there is no reason not to step up to the RF systems if you can.
I've been using https://domains.google/ for years. $12/year/domain. Email forwarding is included. I don't even know if they charge extra for anything else.
Not entirely true, I can get reasonable performance on 10 year old smart TVs using Svelte and TypeScript if I use Babel and a few extra polyfills. React would be a terrible idea though, you're right about that.
I concur. It works exactly how you expect a solder sucker is supposed to. It gobble up the solder so good it's a joy to use.

I regret not having known about this tool years ago. I wasted so much time and frustration on the ubiquitous cheap solder sucker. It's a world of difference.
The assumption following this revaluation is that this is an incentive for Apple to keep this secondary market as small as possible. A google search in ios safari means a revenue for Apple. Another browser does not. With this, there is a double vendor lock-in.
I significantly reduced the symptoms of my carpel tunnel by changing from a normal height mechanical keyboard to one with slim key caps. I really miss my Das Ultimate but the difference is really noticeable.

100% agree with this. Metcal is life changing.
You can't generalise about ancient Greeks like that. Every polis (city state) had its own constitution, and they were more radically different than any we have now. There were some poleis which used sortition, yes, but others had something more recognisable to our voting system. And of course there were the Spartans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartan_Constitution.

I switched to Google Fiber primarily because of this, I can actually talk to someone just by calling. No endless messages, no nothing. Actual customer service and support. That I also get better speed is just the cherry on top
We don't need a government regulator guaranteeing Google's profits. If Apple is in a position to dictate the defaults and Google wants them to make a certain choice, then Google should have to pay. Bringing in a regulator to control how Apple chooses the default search engine is a bad idea. We've seen similar attempts in the EU trying to break Internet Explorer and it turned out to be quite impotent compared to the march of Google Chrome. Regulators are ineffective at solving this sort of thing.

Although it occurs to me that you might mean Apple should build their own search engine - which is a terrible idea. Google is really good at search engines and Apple wants their customers to have the best experience. Forcing Apple to build and promote an inferior search engine would be terrible for everyone.
Good advice. It's also cheaper than a Panavise :)
Sports illustrated already laid people off for AI. Artists already created a lawsuit.

There's a lot of people over hyping this, but there is an even larger group of people downplaying everything and refusing to believe that a paradigm shift in AI has just occured.

I got an old metcal station from work that was destined for the recycling and it is amazing. I'll never use any other kind.
The passphrase+salt get hashed. This hashed-passphrase is what decrypts the file.

You can store the hashed-passphrase in local storage. This means you can auto-decrypt again. You don't need the original passphrase.

If bad guys get your computer, they can read the file. However, they cannot trivially work out what your original passphrase was, so it protects you a little if you reused your passphrase elsewhere.
Friction. Printing is typically three clicks away on an Android phone (share icon, print intent, OK button). Unlikely I'd generate a PDF and sideload it for a recipe I might be cooking just once.

That's not how it works. He was appointed with the approval of the senate. The president does not have the ability to fire the Federal Reserve chair.

Be careful with these. If you use one with a crap iron or overheat the joint it'll suck the traces off the board too. They should only be used with a decent temperature controlled iron.
Even more specifically this is a report that they pay a cut of advertising revenue for searches performed via Chrome on iOS, as in not Safari.

It's not exactly the same, but back in the days before "SSL all the things!" became the norm, it was common to have transparent Squid caching proxies on local networks. If a peer on your network had recently requested a web resource, it was very likely that it was still in the Squid cache, and it would be loaded from there, instead of going to the origin server.

Yes, it was a pain whenever the origin server had misconfigured caching headers. The "force reload bypassing caches" shortcut (Shift-Control-R, or Shift-Click-Reload-Button) was always handy. The move to TLS everywhere, which killed these "transparent" (when they worked) caching proxies, made the web much more stable and predictable.

First, often the premise of these pontifications conflate AI’s with automation. Automation will take many jobs,
AI won’t.

Second, the problem with these hypotheses is that AI’s don’t really work better than humans. They just are cheaper and corporations are in the position that they can force customers to use them instead of humans.

Nobody wants to call an AI model . They would rather call a human with the ability to actually solve their problems. When you call an AI, you don’t have something that can solve your problem, you’re presented with a stone wall of options (most of which are suboptimal). The same goes for most direct human to AI interactions.

AIs (short of a true general AI) work best in augmenting human ability. Helping doctors/radiologists read X-rays and mris better. Helping farmers predict weather patterns for farming. Folding proteins. These are the best utilizations of AI. Not wholesale replacements or humans.

I have friends who thinks it is absolutely discussing to walk with shoes off inside anyone's home... they only walk around their home with shoes on. They have a dog, so a clean floor isn't even possible. So I guess it makes sense. They even sleep with their shoes or slippers next to the bed and quite literally never touch the floor with their skin.
