People who say that don't want their identities prostituted. Whether or how useful it is is irrelevant. I don't want to have my identity prostituted based on the degree of how much I get in return.
Seems to be a lazy clone of Musk policy from Twitter... Isn't it crazy that now private companies (not even in conjunction with governments that issue IDs) are selling online legitimacy?

These moves are driven by ignorant (outright) class-ism, and social media is quickly becoming a system of fraud that supports the wealthy while disabling people who don't pay. It's going to corrupt every aspect of life from news to entertainment if it hasn't already.... Trending topics used to be somewhat accurate because they were based on everyone's posts rather than just the posts of people who could afford to pay for verification. Because platforms got greedy and couldn't make platforms work with corporate sponsoring advertiser funding alone, they turn on users, the very people already working for free... This is not sustainable business. These platforms create schemes like crypto and NFT scams, info harvesting, unfair moderation, user account lockout extortion schemes, fake followers, payola promotion, ban extortion, industry plants, and many other criminal things to extort their user base. It's the modern day large-scale criminal enterprise to run a social media site.... The reason it's not obvious is because no one sees the code at work, they just see the end result of content creators.

This is really short-sighted (stupid actually) tech leadership based on profit desperation. I hope people begin to defund these large social media entities, as they are no good for anyone's progress, except for the company CEOs and Investors perhaps... Ugh.
As an outsider, the ecosystem looks like a mess. The point of the article is to illustrate some of those issues.
Musk has been proving he's a danger to society for the better part of the last ten years.
How has your “success” been with chatgpt? Qualitatively, generally, positive/negative.

Being able to speak to machines would likely correlate with “sounding like one.”

There could be a different (mis)categorization here but also por que no los dos.
I would nitpick the title a bit. Revenue is never easy. I think they should rephrase as "Revenue is relatively easier than profit especially if you have PMF". Once you hit PMF (which is where most startups fail), you can just pour money into growth and that's when revenue generation becomes relatively easier.
This is not the government rewriting old texts and destroying the originals to promote the image of always having the same ethics. This is an estate trying to sell the books they have the rights for.
I can second this; from my experience reading text backwards greatly helps with finding typos. The reason for this is presumably that in this way it is easier to force our brain to look at every single word in isolation. In normal (forward) reading we process more than one word at a time.
I think it has, when compared to GPS or even GLONASS.

When comparing desktop apps to web apps, we often forget that web apps came to dominate because they have a massive advantage when it comes to distribution.

It's much easier to go to a URL than to download and install software, not to mention the process of maintaining the upgrade versions. With web apps, there are no dialog boxes that interrupt you when you're firing up the app to get stuff done.

So while it's not mentioned in the local-first software manifesto, I'd add that we'd want to retain the property of easy distribution of web apps, and it's not just sync between clients.

Facebook gets about 50 billion usd / year of ad revenue in the U.S. for 226 million mau. That boils down to about $18 / month / user of ad revenue.

Is it worth $20 / month to get no ads and a chronological feed?
> I flat out told you that the job listing was accurate.

You flat out told me that the job listing was inaccurate:

> I would say that our listing was accurate other than the fact that we actually worked in 4-5 major languages, not just the one advertised.

"accurate other than" is a euphemism for inaccurate.

Anyway, you're still missing the point, which is that it's irrelevant whether your company's specific job posting is accurate, because job postings in general are inaccurate, with exaggerated requirements, causing job applicants to behave accordingly, which is to largely ignore the specific requirements listed in job postings and also exaggerate their own qualifications. And then companies scratch their heads densely and wonder why, somehow ignorant of the perverse incentives the industry has already created.
So, is Angular a framework then?
If this attorney is filing BS DMCA claims, hopefully they'll give a gentle heads-up to his local bar association
Of course, but giving up and just accepting the fact that you're on their blocklists does more harm to you in the long run, in my opinion, than just asking someone to forward an email. If that's what you want, then of course that's entirely up to you, but considering the complete lack of action network admins take when you report abuse and illegal activity, you can hardly blame people for taking the easy way out and just blocking all the low hanging fruit.
I can barely believe I’m typing this, but an incentivized blockchain (aka Bitcoin et al) is a legitimate option to ensure a coherent and mutually agreed upon history of information in the face of competing economic actors. Too bad about the climate change and scams that seem to be part of the bargain…
Would you recommend something like a Rigol DS1104Z?
I feel like that point was equally made with “colorless green ideas sleep furiously”

Moreover, in linguistics 101, students are often introduced to case studies of people with aphasia and similar issues which illustrates how humans can produce coherent and grammatical speech without meaning (just like chatgpt) and how people can lose the understanding of certain classes of words.

Lastly, NN are often seen as a way to model functions (again, students are often asked to produce different logic gates by hand, to convince themselves that NN can be Turing complete) so rather than language being inherently probabilistic chatgpt might just have reasonably inferred the rules of language.
Markets tend to be results oriented in a way that governments tend not to be.

Of course, sometimes that result involves exploiting the shit out of workers and destroying the environment along the way, but by God they'll get the thing done if said thing makes them money.
Holy moly! TabFS is amazing and I missed it. Closing a tab by rming the dir is especially great. Thanks for mentioning it!
I prefer local storage as well, but the downside is the potential for data loss to theft. Non technical consumers may not realize that if the SIM is physically on the camera, and the camera gets stolen, they lose everything. Camera systems that store the video on a hub indoors are the best IMO.
I would think this is focused on the MTB crowd, where the derailleur is a very fragile piece of the kit. As 1x's get ever more expansive, derailleur arms get longer, and there's just so much room to grow. Seems like Shimano is looking into ways to grow into that. If an ever-expanding range of gears or tighter steps between is relevant or not to something is I guess a personal call. I've ridden across the states on a single speed mountain bike, so I may be the wrong person to ask!
At this point, there is not much to e2e encrypt--as most of the time you're posting for the internet to see. With more personal collections coming, we'll introduce encrypted content as well.

Although this has nothing to do with selling users data—will work on our tos to communicate our expressed intents more clearly.
This is a rather stupid comment.. so all public utilities are failed, wasted resources?
Put everything in a docker container/OCI image and have someone own managing and babysitting the build of that image for everyone else.

There really is no single tool or workflow for everything in the python world. What works for a simple source only python package can break horribly if you try using sophisticated scientific computing packages with numerous native dependencies (and then you realize you need conda or a whole other set of tools).
I've never had a rear derailleur cable "snap"; they stretch, fray and may eventually break right at the pinch point but these are either slow delays with obvious warnings or easily fixed on the trail. Compared to a connectivity or battery issue? They don't have nearly as high of likelyhood.
Second containers (however controversial they may otherwise be). The official python Alpine container is < 20mb and the slim Debian variants are < 45mb. For many of my Python projects I end up needing to install various system dependency libs like CUDA, libav, libsndfile, etc. I tend to be a "fan" of containers generally and containers seem like the best way to handle situations like mine.
I think it's a response to the incoming AI revolution.

Just because someone writes in your name and your style online won't mean it's you when ChatGPT or the next version can clone your writing style in seconds.

Being verified online is going to be more important for businesses and people as the internet degrades into the quality level of recipe sites.
> In the early 1800’s the Lépine calibre was adapted to factory production by French watchmaker Frédérick Japy. This development favoured Swiss watchmakers more than it did the French as Swiss farmers and peasants would spend their winter months making watch components for firms in Geneva. As further technology was implemented for mass-production, Swiss watchmakers were able to produce watches at much higher volumes than their rivals.

I'm a very big fan of astronomy, but I can't seem to care at all about satellites blocking terrestrial telescopes. Ubiquitous connectivity is simply a larger concern than land based telescopes.

Further, space based telescopes seem to be the future of the discipline. While land based radio telescopes are less effected by satellites.

A bigger concern is Kepler syndrome, but that threat seems minimal in LEO.
By all means go ahead and inform us on the actual reality? This is what I had read:

> Overall, advertising spending by the top 30 companies fell by 42% to an estimated $53.8 million for November and December combined, according to Pathmatics, despite an increase in spending by six of them.

Is that inaccurate and if so, why?

From the article, about the survey:

So, Chinese = "propaganda". American = "messaging".

Gotta love this unbiased reporting.
Id say these tasks (coming up with a good artiatic theme for a company) when considered in the full limit of their potential complexity are AGI
E12 is about being +/- 5% of your target resistance using only a singular resistor.

A couple of notes:

1. E12 kits plays well with +/-5% tolerance. You're covering the entire spectrum of resistances possible with your kit, within the error-specs of your resistor.

2. Trimmer potentiometers (cheap pots designed for only ~200 cycles of use or less) are the key component needed for most analog / accurate circuits.

-------

You can usually design a circuit with +/- 5% accuracy (nominal), and then have one or two key trimmer-pots tune to 0.1% accuracy at the end. Ex: You might have one trimmer-pot control an a voltage offset (ex: from an instrumentation amplifier), and a second pot control the scale / multiplier (ex: op-amp multiplier and/or resistor divider).

You may have 20 to 30 resistors all across your analog circuit, all within +/- 5% tolerances for various reasons. But these two control points at the very end can "trim" away your error and reach 0.1%, or better, accuracy, in practice.

But you have to be "close enough", and have "linear enough" behavior. E12 (aka: resistors all within 10% of each other) seems to be enough for most such projects.

---------

Digital circuits on the other hand, don't really care too much about this stuff. So you end up with a bunch of 100nF capacitors with 1k resistors just all over the project. That's fine too. You should build a stockpile of the components you plan to use.

E12 resistor kits + a set of trimmer pots are for analog circuits. At least if you want 0.1% or 0.01% tolerances (3 or 4 digits).
I've noticed this trend with folks who move from Rails to Phoenix. At some point they switch and then never look at Rails again even if it's been years since they stopped using it. It's not like Rails was frozen in time at 2017 when they stopped using it. There's been 5+ years of progress since then.

Hotwire is one of the best things I've encountered. DHH and gang did a great job coming up with this abstraction and using HTTP for most of its communication. I'm using it today in a fairly big app and it was a breeze implementing it.

Complexity wise I'd put Phoenix Live View at like an 8.5/10 where as Hotwire feels more like a 3/10 since it builds on everything you already know. For creating just about any app I'd choose Hotwire all the time and it's also especially interesting in that you can use something other than Rails as a back-end with it if you want. I used it with Flask in a few small apps. The only server side component is for when you want to broadcast changes to more than the person who made the request but that's optional.
That's more or less it.
With the "Volkszählungsurteil" and varios judgements regarding "Rasterfahndung" and later "Schleierfahndung" and "Lauschangriff" our constitutional court constructed some sort of "basic human right to privacy" called "Recht auf informationelle Selbstbestimmung" (right for informational self-determination).

The judgements footed on various articles of our moder (post 1945) constitution and its bill of rights and indirectly in the experiences under NSDAP and SED rule.
It’s a shame they took it from the side of a building rather than the top…
Unions, in principle, are market-oriented. Nothing inherently non-market about people banding together to increase negotiating leverage.

Obviously in practice there are often regulations concerning unions, but that's true of basically every part of a market too.
I see three negative Q3s before the chart basically explodes in the last couple of years. All other quarters saw profits around 100 million. It is only the chart that looks break even...

And a couple of negative Q3 results are absolutely normal in commerce, especially eCommerece. All the stuff sold during Q4 needs to come from somewhere.

So no, Amazon was definitelway more than just break even with three negative quarters between 2004 (!) and end of 2021 (!). Then you have two tremendously negative quarters, Q1 and 2 2022, after equally tremendous profits in 2021. And those losses are driven by write offs on investments and aquisitions, so by no means operations driven.

That AWS is 10% or revenue and 90% of profits is not really impoetant as long as AWS is not spun off from Amazon's retail business. Which, by the way, generates most of Amazon's free cash flow.
Public markets are turning into de facto bag holders. Buy a pig high on exuberance, sell it back to the company low.
This is one of two ways to do this (as you know), called rear curtain sync (or the flash fires at the end of the exposure). You can also use front curtain sync, which fires at the start of the exposure, and get a slightly different effect.

For example, with a stationary camera and a galloping horse, front curtain sync would show a ghost of the horse running forward from its image, whereas rear curtain sync would show the ghost run towards the image (ie the horse would have a ghost "tail").
It doesn't matter if you decide to use a different package manager, if one of your dependencies depend on that layout, you must supply that layout.
How do you know qualia is a process at all?

Reframing History: Bananas (2020)
Index adjustment on SRAM AXS can be done on the fly from the shifters. Or from the app as you ride without stopping. Try that with cables.

The battery replacement is the real issue as technology gets older. Though to be honest, at some stage it gets more difficult to find parts for any system. I started to run into challenges sourcing several replacement parts for a 8-9 year old bike that had 10 speed Shimano group set, so it got sold and replaced. Batteries are not much different really.
That doesn't sound accurate. Considering all the lay-offs and other cost cuts it should have gone from very unprofitable to unprofitable.
This post points out one of my struggles with python.

I am not a python developer but I use python heavily for some tooling. So all I need to do is to “distribute” my tools to other servers in a replicable and consistent matter, isolated from global packages.

Can you please help me understand two points?

1. If I use venv+pip to install some python app, do I have to “activate” that specific virtual environment before executing that tool or can I just simply call it by its path on the file system?

2. Are there any official guide rails for making venv-wrapped app accessible to other users on a server? Or just as simple as placing links to /usr/local/bin/ for example?
The problem is that people who are willing to pay $20/mo for privacy are much more valuable to advertisers than those who can't.

If those users go away, the average $/user from ads goes down, because the only people seeing ads are those who are too poor to avoid it.

To an advertiser, poor people who direct their attention towards whatever is put in front of them are worth a lot less than rich people who carefully curate what their attention is directed towards. It's grody, but that's the advertising industry for you.
Me as a service provider I would just want to keep the data seperated at my backend. I guess Ill need it anyways for some usecases. And after that why should I bother adding complexity to ship that data to the client side?

Instagram and Facebook to get paid-for verification
Facebook isn’t a start up, thinks are not moving as quick as you think. The actual development probably went fast but the PM meetings, legal, etc all take a long time. I bet this has been in the works in some form since Apple’s crackdown on tracking.
Crafting an ELF Executable
Hi there! Author here. What I was referring to was MapReduce/BigTable. While I think BigQuery always had SQL support, some customers in the early 2010s had the perception that Google was more interested in building a new language for queries rather than support something for SQL.

Mike Stonebraker talked a little bit about this in the context of MapReduce on the dbt podcast recently: https://roundup.getdbt.com/p/ep38-a-romp-through-database-hi...
Nice! I was literally struggling just to hold it for 40 seconds. Of course, long ago I could easily hold my breath for 3 or 4 minutes. (A cousin of mine was able to do it for over six minutes or so. He could also dive to much greater depths than anyone else.)
Nextcloud supports e2ee with a variety of controls, specifically for object storage on an untrusted host.
So long as ChatGPT is forbidden from communicating in certain ways (swearing, speaking ill or positive of controversial people or topics, etc), convergence will never happen. People interact with other people more than they do ChatGPT, so the majority force will remain dominant.
People who shrug and claim Shimano is "not relevant" compared to SRAM or others need to review the price and performance of Shimano's drivetrain. Wide range 1x Deore vs SRAM NX? There's no comparison. You basically get top of the line performance at the lower end with Shimano, with the differnce being tool-free adjustment, weight and carbon fiber. This is what product differentiation that aligns customer demands with price should look like.
List is longer, copy was outdated.

It's more like a principle question than anything else—we know it won't make a dent in the world, but we aren't comfortable providing service for countries that openly pro-war.

And great power politics dictates every power must gang up on any great power that violates integrity of the others.
Remaining profitable is likely even harder, as other people will rush in and start providing similar products or services at competitive prices. In a heavily financialized system, the common solution is monopolization (buying up startup competition using pools of capital) - leading to situations like TicketMaster, which gets away with providing low quality-of-service to artists and their fans because they have no alternative to turn to.

Unregulated markets in a finance-centric economy inevitably drift toward the controlled monopolistic model for this reason. Advocates for unregulated free-markets either don't understand this or are simply being deceptive and are really trying to maximize profits by promoting the growth of monopolies.
I'm sure it has increased over time as people imitate their heroes, but first-person journalism is certainly not at all unique to "this generation"; it was already a big element of New Journalism in the 1960s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Journalism

Is it surprising that journalists who grow up reading Hunter Thompson go on to write like Hunter Thompson? I think that's a pretty natural progression, without needing to blame generational narcissism. If anything, it seems like World War II was the major turning point for involving the author into the story.
What kind of tight integrated experience are you imagining? Is it integration with 3rd party API services? Or with other desktop apps on the same local computer? Or something else?
I'd be curious if Medium Term Notes have a role to play here, particularly considering the size. A lot of the term benefits of some bond issues, without a lot of the red tape of actually going through a bond issuance.

This is the correct take. The world is nowadays largely owned and operated by various criminal organisations that rake in more cash in a month than entire nations do in a year. Thank you, prohibition.
ImageDownloadManager also communicates with the frontend about its state, so it’s not a completely preparatory process.
I think the bigger news is they’re offering “priority customer support” for a monthly fee. Imagine if this became a trend among other big tech companies.
