No one ever debated with you whether or not trespassing was bad... so I don't get the big stink you are making here about us agreeing.

>The point is that the commonly brought up argument of "well it's a private company!" is dumb.

It's not. You misunderstand the argument. That argument applies to the constitution. Not to things that are also paralleled in statute or the common law. That's the difference between the two. You don't call the police and say "someone is violating the third amendment" you call the police and say "someone is trespassing on my property!" they are similar in a vague principal, but not identical at all. The difference, I thought, was pretty obvious, but if you have questions, I'm happy to get into it.

>Therefore someone saying "it's a private company" is making a bad argument.

It's not, because there are differences between private actors and the gov't. The gov't, for example, is incredibly limited with regards to speech. Private actors aren't. You can't make me say anything. That's a good thing - do you understand that? The difference is, that the gov't is empowered to threaten you with your life and liberty in order to compel speech- except for the constitution. This has nothing to do with private actors. There is no principal that private actors can compel or restrict speech, because we are all free individuals that can choose to partake or not - that isn't the case when the gov't is involved. I'm surprised you don't seem to grasp this basic concept of civics.

>And yet despite how extremely obvious this is, people still make this "well it's a private company!" Argument over and over again.

Because they are referring to a limit placed upon the federal gov't by the constitution.

>I am glad you agree completely with me, and not only that you think my point is obviously true.

I don't agree with you completely. This is a bizarre way to conduct yourself.

>The reason why it is funny is because people legitimately make this "it's a private company!" argument over and over again, which is a really dumb argument.

Because those are contexts where the constitution doesn't apply. For example, there is an amendment that gives women the right to vote... what does that have to do with private actors? Nothing. Your argument that the constitution <-therefore-> anything else... is confused at best.
>they can just continue to use ICE vehicles..

I think the problem is a certain noisy minority want to remove that option in defiance to reality.
It would be interesting if they made this legal again. Maybe there'd be less people caught up in gang shootings etc if you had them dual it out in a controlled space... assuming they aren't cowards.
If we look at historic flu trends we're going to be getting to the end of this year's flu season in the northern hemisphere in the next month or so. Usually starts ramping up in November (this last year it was a bit earlier) and goes through February, sometimes into March, but much less in Spring, Summer.
My parents excommunicated me for not going down the path they laid out for me which included college. Whatever.

Instead I moved out at 17, ended up homeless, kept going, started a few companies, got a few tech jobs, started another company, and ended up more financially successful than anyone in my extended family without crippling college debt.

Let parents flip tables. Only go to college if employers in your ideal profession strictly requires college, and only if you have a scholarship or the means to pay for it without debt.
The blog post claims that a human generated video with incorrect information was the source of this. So, why are we blaming GPT for this incorrect information?

What's more, the blog post is claiming that GPT was trained on video material (which it wasn't) which is also incorrect information and is apparently convincing enough to cause people to get up in arms about the product of yet another company.

The combination of issues of (a) people are using a language model as a knowledge base, (b) incorrect information exists out there on the net, and (c) people are assuming that the knowledge base is correct and not reading the documentation before singing up.

Alternatively, would you say that humans posting information that is incorrect and falsely represents the capabilities of another company's product should be similarly covered in laws?
Other countries have better public policies for treating addiction?

I totally believe that the risk of this stuff is "less" than an uncontained lithium fire, but 500C is nothing to laugh at. There are significant risks to the people around this, contact with water, water vapour, volatiles released from plastics.

I don't want to "but.." because lots of industrial processes are inherently dangerous, and we still do them. The thing is to design the systems to contain the risk. Thats cost, and may go to the same place as the containment costs for lithium systems. For the right engineering outcome in terms of operational cost and responsiveness, it's worth it. For energy density, it may be really good value.

They say that after initial heating, the process is inherently exothermic and so maintains it's own heat. Thats beneficial because it means external heat sources don't have to be continuously maintained.

Antimony is poisonous. Assuming normal operations don't volatalize this, or create dust and aerosols, the problem would be what happens if there is an uncontained fire, or some problem which causes it to be released in smoke or water. Again, not a problem unique to this technology, proposed energy storage with Ammonia is going to have to confront NH fume risks. (for instance)

These aren't things people will build out in their back yard. Things like flow batteries are much more deployable into rural and remote: maybe this technology is deployed in light industrial, heavy industry or at the electricity substation and plant.
Linux started as a terminal emulator for Minix.
Personally I don't like either unless it's absolutely necessary for third-party software. The dynamic loader can't do its things when lots of different library versions exist and it wastes other resources and space. And it's very much harder to update everything when a vulnerable library exists.

This is also the main issue I have with snap. In their attempt to make it ubiquitous, Ubuntu are using it even for the smallest console apps with almost no dependencies.. I've even seen it used for go apps which are statically linked so they really have none. It's just a lot of overhead for no reason then.

That is one solution, and in some scenarios it might not even be noticeable, but it's basically conceding the problem and accepting a guaranteed audio dropout at the end of every 'song', since for this to work you need some dead time to ensure all buffers are drained and start the new stream.

The simplest model is a source that generates a continuous audio stream, and a sink that plays it back; adding the idea of songs complicates the model, and in some use cases might be totally inappropriate. For elevator music, sure it likely doesn't matter, and maybe you can hide it in a crossfade or something with enough metadata, but this is probably part of a system where you put audio into one device connected to the network, that might include live stuff like PA announcements, and it comes out a bunch of other ones, not a dedicated elevator music system.
Yeah this article is very pro-snap and disregards the movement in favor of flatpak which has stepped up in kind.
> If the currency was debased, inflation would have occurred fairly evenly across the economy

Nothing makes this necessarily true. As an example, if the government printed everyone in the world 100 trillion dollars, and everyone used it to buy as much house they could, and nothing else, then houses would skyrocket in price as this money spurred demand for houses causing a shortage of housing stock (as prices are a matter of supply vs demand). Bread wouldn't change a dime in this scenario, because no one used the new money to buy more bread than normal, causing a supply shortage of bread. Ergo, nothing necessitates that inflation occurs evenly across the economy. Not even in Roman times. Inflation only occurs where demand happens. If demand, demands it be stored in bank accounts, then bank accounts inflate.
They need to live closer to the office if they don't want to spend hours commuting. I agree fully in-person is overkill. But 2-3 times a week is reasonable.
> I used to think Flatpaks were a huge pain the butt, but over the last few years, I moved to using them for all third party software

I am a Nix person who has been a bit obsessed with package management for a long time, and it's probably fair to call me a bit of a 'container skeptic'. I know many good reasons to prefer other means of installing packages, and I agree with most of them. I care about things like the extra storage overhead, the increased app startup time, the additional complexity associated with portals and sandboxing, the extent to which Flatpak applications do or don't support the available sandboxing features, and the orientation of Flatpak towards enabling a larger proprietary software ecosystem I'm not very interested in.

But despite all of that, and despite my interest in— and to some extent, commitment to— competing paradigms... I think Flatpak does what it tries to do pretty well. It seems to me that the engineers working on it have done a pretty good job of mitigating the downsides and risks, like library duplication and difficulty of shared updates, disk usage, etc. Considering what it aims to do, it feels pretty fast, reliable, and neat. And I trust it way more than an apt or dnf or pacman repo hosted by the likes of Zoom, Google, Discord, etc. It's a much better way to manage third-party software than anything else we've got.

I think it's clearly a good thing that the biggest and most popular desktop environments are coalescing around it. This is good news for desktop Linux users in general, and especially good news for those of us who don't run Ubuntu or derivatives. The more things are packaged for Flatpak, the lower the burden for practical usage of distros maintained by small or new communities.
Is monkey patching better than copying and modifying the entire dependency? I see tradeoffs both ways.

At the end of the day, the job needs to get done. Sometimes this involves modifying existing things for a particular purpose.

> Also, you are quite mistaken about the legal duty owed to employees in any capitalist society. You absolutely can wind down a firm, especially if you give sufficient notice in advance to employees (i.e., "we will shut down in 1.5 years from today").

Not necessarily. In Germany for example the employees are entitled to set up a works council (under certain conditions), and that council has a right to negotiate for the worker's interests if a restructuring is proposed, including on the point of whether it happens at all, and if they can't reach agreement with management then they're entitled to independent arbitration.
Project Loom will get us that behavior for the JVM, as long as the default dispatcher is modified to support virtual threads. For now, we schedule on an unlimited thread pool using Dispatchers.IO, which is not as cool.
They're detailing how it's highly unpleasant, and in some ways arguably draconian, to be "sectioned", because (again, "in some ways") the individuals suffering it have less autonomy and receive more "punitive detention" style of treatment than actual criminal prisoners do.

Because, contrary to an idealistic public view that mental health is taken care of when discovered, the reality is that it's a system that has little recourse or solution other than to medicate into dullness, and if acting-out requires it, into virtual sedation and lockdown. With all personal rights and dignity gone by default.

Most people who went through it would come out traumatised if they weren't already to start with. It's not treatment the average person would give their dog.
This, and the argument of compounding. That they will take trades that are profitable, and they will reinvest their profits to make more profits and that there are always people who will lose their trades and they will win.

> First, the tank must be 'inerted' to eliminate the risk of explosion. An inert gas plant burns diesel in air to produce a mixture of gases (typically less than 5% O2 and about 13% CO2 plus N2). This is blown into the tanks until the oxygen level is below 4%.

> Next, the vessel goes into port to "gas-up" and "cool-down", as one still cannot load directly into the tank: The CO2 will freeze and damage the pumps and the cold shock could damage the tank's pump column.

> LNG is brought onto the vessel and taken along the spray line to the main vaporiser, which boils off the liquid into gas. This is then warmed up to roughly 20 °C (68 °F) in the gas heaters and then blown into the tanks to displace the "inert gas". This continues until all the CO2 is removed from the tanks. Initially, the IG (inert gas) is vented to atmosphere. Once the hydrocarbon content reaches 5% (lower flammability range of methane) the inert gas is redirected to shore via a pipeline and manifold connection by the HD (high duty) compressors. The shore terminal then burns this vapour to avoid the dangers of having large amounts of hydrocarbons present which may explode.

> Now the vessel is gassed up and warm. The tanks are still at ambient temperature and are full of methane.

> The next stage is cool-down. LNG is sprayed into the tanks via spray heads, which vaporises and starts to cool the tank. The excess gas is again blown ashore to be re-liquified or burned at a flare stack. Once the tanks reach about −140 °C (−220 °F) the tanks are ready to bulk load.

Wow, that's a whole lot of burning of hydrocarbons just to get the LNG into the tanker. How much does this overall add to the lifecycle carbon emissions of natural gas for electricity?
> You're right, I am confused - do you think it does matter or it doesn't matter, because whichever one you think, the comment I posted addresses it in full.

Could you just match-up players to similarly skilled opponents?

I'm not a player, but I assume people access Dota using the same account each time they play? Their win/loss record should produce a decent "skill" ranking. Those that are cheating will un/naturally do better, and eventually they'll just be playing each other.

It would be sort of like a shadow-banning. They still get to play, but real people don't have to come in contact with them.

Who cares if the cheaters play other cheaters? Perhaps it's a drain on the company resources? But if they're paying participants, does it matter?
Not really. They are targeting upper middle class people. Price sensitive customers haven’t been going there since it opened.
The point is to have a bank account with nearly no balance, so PayPal can't drain it, or if they do they don't get much. Then you can transfer cash from PayPal to that account, and then from that account to your real bank.

In fact I think manual workers are often more traditional people with more interest in family life. It certainly seems to be the case around here. They have this macho mentality whereas us office workers seem much more sensitive and hippie.

I wonder if that could indicate a reverse causality? Could men with higher hormone levels be more attracted to this type of work? I'm not sure of course but I wonder about it now.
There is an ethical way to market products which relies on transparency to the audience and not tricking or repurposing leads for secondary purposes. Blocking more of these shady tactics makes it easier to do the right thing and requires you to build marketing programs for and around people who actually want your offering.

Addiction to the dopamine rush it gives them.
Heh, you got me. A password manager is the ONE plugin I have installed in my profile that I use to access my banks.

Simply put, I trust the password manager. Recently, however, I have considered uninstalling that plugin and using only the desktop version of the password manager -- and then copy/pasting username/pw from the password manager to websites.

One reason I don't do that, though... is because having the password manager as a browser plugin guarantees (?) that the password it presents to me is for the site I am visiting. If I end up on a webiste with an IDN that was chosen very carefully to look like my bank's domain, my password manager plugin won't present me with a password -- which will trigger my paranoia.

If you can't tell, I wrestle with this decision pretty regularly...

Obtaining a college degree has benefits, some occupations even require them (eg: medical, legal), but ultimately it's a balancing act against the cost of getting that degree and how much you even want that degree.

If you really, really want that college degree because your life goal requires it and you have reasonably reliable plans for paying the costs of tuition, by all means go for it.

What I'm saying is that it's a terrible idea to go to college simply because "that's the norm" or you were compelled. Going to college is expensive, the decision should be throughly thought out.

There is more to life than going to college.

As for communication tools, I reiterate: If certain forms of communication are making you miserable, either change how you use them or just don't use them. Life doesn't revolve around nor require social media, anyone who has had any degree of real life experience can teach you that.

You use tools to enrich your life, if a tool isn't enriching your life then you stop using that tool.
Somewhat, but when the attacker controls the channel they can allow the challenge-response to complete before compromising the integrity of the channel.
Also interesting is the fact that such software was perfectly capable of rendering those effects with decent performance on hardware of the time --- single core CPUs with a few hundred MHz, barely anything resembling a GPU, and memory usage in the low MBs if not kilobytes. Now even the completely bland and boring, mostly borderless UI of an IM application is ridiculously sluggish on a high-end multicore machine with a "gamer"-class GPU and takes insane amounts of RAM.
Flatpak has issues (size), but I think I can accept them as a part of the design and believe the other issues (crashes, security) will be solved as adoption grows.

Personally, I still prefer my repos with shared libraries when possible. I'm also able to keep a mirror of the packages to cut down on bandwidth.

I haven't figured out how to mirror the flatpaks yet, mostly due to lack of effort.

I'm excited, it will be good to have a cross-distro app store.
