I'm not usually a fan of slippery slope arguments but it's still worth asking: at what point do you decide it has truly become dangerously Orwellian and worth protesting against?
Certainly it does strike me there's a certain disregard for consumers here. Imagine if your electronic copy of your favourite music that you listened to regularly was altered in some way by the publisher that you felt destroyed your enjoyment of it? It's actually one reason I'm not a fan of streaming services and only buy music I can keep copies of the files for - so I can be certain it will always be available in exactly the form I want it no matter what the publisher/ service provider does (including going broke or deciding to remove certain music from their catalogues etc.).
To be fair, what you're getting is a hardware configuration that "just works." By controlling the hardware configuration, the manufacturer is controlling the user experience. Yes, components like storage and memory are built to standards but interoperability problems do come up.

By controlling components/configs, they (Apple) doesn't have to field angry tech support calls and go down rabbit holes as to why a random RAM manufacturer's DIMMs don't work with my machine.

Apple also does this with thunderbolt products, which have a very strict certification process so that user in theory should have a user experience where the products "just work."
Those aren't goals. They're just describing giving someone more responsibility.

It'd be nice if managers could determine who can handle more responsibility, but it's basically a crapshoot.

There’s a large body of written knowledge beyond peer to peer oral tradition available if you want to approach the discipline of teaching as a professional pursuit.

Combined. If you want to sell a new modified version, you can, but the original goes into the library of congress and into the public domain.

Also what does this do to citations?

If we want to say that copyright also includes editright (does it? I would never have said so), and so the current owner of a copyright also has the right to edit, well ok but then is the new text still attributed to the original author?

If you put words into someone else's mouth, what does it mean anymore to quote from a book and cite the author, but the author didn't actually say that?

Somehow the new work should be divorced from the original author, except, the bulk is valued and that came from the original author, which should not be stolen from them.

It's almost like it doesn't matter if you like it or not, what an author wrote is what they wrote. Editing it to taste is nothing but an absolute lack of integrity.

- Better documentation, on relevant pages (e.g. list formatting help link on this page and not only the editing page; list the meaning of all fields in the user page on that page; etc).

- Chronological display mode (which ignores all voting and karma numbers).

- NNTP.

- Search function without JavaScripts.

- Make votes up/down labeled, similar like Slashdot does indicating "informative", "interesting", "funny", etc. Possibly get rid of unlabeled votes, since they are problematic.

- When doing flag, allow to specify what it is a duplicate of (if any). (I currently don't use "flag" at all, but might occasionally do so if it had this function.)

- Support URI schemes other than "http" and "https" (e.g. "telnet"), but not "file".

- Perhaps increase limit of titles a bit.

- Don't automatically change titles and then complain that they are too long even though the original title was not too long.

- Display comment form on all pages, not only the first one.

- "Dead conversation mode" that does not restrict replying to anything (regardless of age and flagged/dead); such messages are automatically hidden to anyone who is not using such mode. (Perhaps restrict this to NNTP, and disallow such a thing in the web interface. Furthermore, even then such comments should be blocked when they are flooding too much (in order to avoid denial of service, wasting disk space, etc).)
I’d be wary of this decision since now you’ve elected to just work with the insurance salesperson, whose goal is to spend as little as possible on you. Providers at KP regularly tell you to “advocate for yourself” because now the doctors are beholden to the insurers. The regulatory agencies allow KP to self-police their quality metrics, so oversight is limited. As a KP member you waive your right to sue them for malpractice and have to engage in a KP designed arbitration process. If you’re in California there’s a limit on malpractice damages ($350k no death / $500k death) so chances are no lawyer will take a case against them unless it’s extremely clear cut and won’t require any domain experts ($$$).

KP may officially be a non-profit, but their CEO rakes in millions and their physician group is a separate for-profit entity.

There are some providers that make heroic efforts to provide quality care, but the overall culture seems to be very bureaucratic and big-co checkbox exercises.
I was actually the "author" of one of the pieces of code that SCO claimed had been stolen from them - SCO's implementation of the Berkeley Packet Filter.

SCO had a collaboration with IBM called Project Monterey, in which SCO and IBM were merging their operating systems in order to be better positioned for IA64 (which at that point people still thought would be good).

One minor detail of the Monterey deal was that SCO got the right to port IBM's superior networking stack into SCO's operating systems. One part of IBM's networking stack was their implementation of the Berkeley Packet Filter, and that was one of the parts I ported over (I'm pretty sure the file still had a BSD copyright notice on it).

That was back in the days when SCO was a cool UNIX vendor that thought of itself as an extension of UC Santa Cruz. Back then employees couldn't really imagine it turning evil, and it made me wary of what my subsequent employers (Google and Facebook) could turn into.
> KP and Geisinger are the closest things I've seen in the US to European-style private healthcare, albeit more vertically integrated, yet why isn't it so popular in the US?

Kaiser has a reputation for being incredibly inflexible and rationing care to a degree that makes it a non-starter for anyone who has any healthcare needs beyond routine care (assuming they have an alternative to choose from). They have incredibly restrictive network rules, and they make it much harder to access non-routine care (additional hoops to jump through, etc). It's a very frustrating experience unless your care needs happen to align exactly with what their actuaries have determined is optimal.

This is not really surprising - it's exactly what you'd expect would happen when an insurer is directly responsible for clinical care (as much as integrated capitated healthcare systems pretend otherwise by using different terms to describe themselves, at the end of the day, that's exactly what they are: medical practices run by health insurance companies).

Rarely do I shoot things at "normal" frame rates. I find things much more interesting at different frame rates. Shooting 60fps for 24fps playback is just slow enough to give it the look discussed without going extreme high frame rates. I don't have anything that shoots higher than 120fps, but going into those extremely high rates is just surreal.

Going the opposite direction, I love time lapse as well. Seeing things that seem perceptually static move in playback can reveal a lot of interesting things that happen at rates too slow for our hectic hustle and bustle life styles to appreciate.

Depends on the timescale in which you view it. The overall earth benefits through natural selection. A creature or ecosystem that overloads itself is selected out through self suicide paving the way for a more stable system to take it's place.

Uncontrolled growth is simply a method of selection. Natural selection.

Here's why minimalism has such staying power. Fundamentally, pleasing design is about repetition and consistency. Brian loves patterns, that's all there is to it. Good graphic appeal isn't a seasoning like salt which you can just sprinkle on by paying for a few better "designed" assets. Its possible to make really pleasing design out of parts that are individually seen as cheap and low quality. Its also possible to make tacky tripe out of great quality parts. The important thing is consistency and arrangement. A pleasing design is one that lends itself to file compression.

Minimalism is a very easy style to pull off because the fewer elements there are the easier it is to make them all consistent, uniform, simple. It takes the least time to get it right. It can be handed off to someone else without explaining any "vision" or guidelines.

None of this is to say it is bad. Minimalism is good actually. Just that minimalism isn't uniquely good. Other designs can be timeless, they just rarely are.
If you want to do it the cheap way by buying used stuff, the most expensive parts are:

- $2000 for a Threadripper 3xx5WX with a socket sWRX8 mainboard

- $5000 for 6x RTX 3090

- $350 for two 1500W PSUs

- $700 for 256GB RAM

You will also need PCIe extenders and perhaps some watercooling. And find a suitable case.
The 2-card NVLink bridges are between $100 and $300 each (you nay want 3).
All in all i think less than $10k.
There are many copycat channels now.

It's picosnitch, if you know what I'm doing wrong/how to fix it that'd be great! It depends on bcc and psutil, and I am able to build and run it from a .nix file using python3.pkgs.fetchPypi with

nix-build -E 'with import <nixpkgs> {}; callPackage ./picosnitch.nix {}'
sudo -E ./result/bin/picosnitch start-no-daemon

However, when I run it with just start, it can no longer find psutil and bcc. It uses a daemon class here [1].

I also encounter the same issue when running it without sudo, since it will re-execute itself here [2].

It can also use systemd, but I didn't get around to figuring out how to use systemd and install the service file on nix (I've never used nix before and know very little).

Define "this"? It looks like they are specific to northern California, in which case they can't really serve the common use case of using One Medical as a pseudo-urgent care (the ability to have medication prescribed in any state when traveling, or to see a provider in any large city on short notice when traveling).
Yeah, looks like Intel desktops are currently ~10% ahead of Mac laptops in single-threaded performance:

(Admittedly the Mac Studio is slower, since it was released ~360 days ago - probably not the best time to buy one, but who knows when they'll update it.)

The author states the desire is to match the architecture of the servers they deploy software to, which seems reasonable - depending on the software, it can be very useful to be able to run/debug the same binaries locally.

Future generations also deserve life liberty and the opportunity to pursue happiness and fulfill their potential surely. The issue would not so much seem to be "continuous" growth but unfettered growth (as per a narrow set of metrics) now that potentially destroys the chances of our children and grand children enjoying the benefits of that growth.
If it's necessary to make decisions to dampen (or even suspend) growth now to ensure it that doesn't happen then so be it, though I'd argue it's more important to look at what we're actually measuring and ensuring we're growing in a direction that's actually sustainable.

The main take away here is that if you don't own the files you don't own the product. Don't buy ebooks if you can't get your hands on actual files.
Growth itself is not cancer. Growth that never ends is cancer, because it eventually consumes all available resources in the system. I mean this is raw inescapable logic, there's no argument against this.

There's an alternative way. A simpler life. The term for it is called equilibrium. It's not a bad way of life.

It's very hollywoody but essentially the movie Avatar is sort of a window the essential nature of what a life of equilibrium is.

> My path to efficiency and ergonomic work has always been to become more familiar with the keyboard shortcuts for navigating windows and tabs.

> Mostly I find it annoying because I forget where I put my applications if I have two monitors.

Do you think you could have put this effort into coming up with a workflow that took advantage of multiple monitors? I didn't use multiple monitors for years, but eventually I tried it out and now it would be hard for me to go back, so I've always considered it to have a small learning curve to figure out how to "make use" of the extra space properly. I feel like being willing to use more keyboard shortcuts for windows and tabs would be an excellent way to get more efficient use out of extra screen space.

Position A is basically treating this a completely reasonable suggestion that might have some downsides. It should be treating it as entirely unreasonable.

I actually did use Compiz+Beryll for a fairly long while. Admittedly, the bugs were annoying, but after switching off the most gimmicky bits or at least making them less pronounced (like Wobbly Windows, lol) I found it to be quite nice to use. It felt a bit like if you were using WindowBlinds but supercharged.

I later switched to i3wm and threw away desktop effects though. I wouldn't mind them, but I don't miss them either.

I’ve always loved physical books, and the serendipitous discoverability of volumes on a shelf can’t be beat.

That said, ebooks provide worthwhile benefits in their own right. Fulltext search, text‐to‐speech, changing fonts and font sizes, small physical size convenient for travel… other times I come up with some operation I want to perform on a particular book, like counting how often a particular phrase is used, or comparing certain passages side by side, where having an ebook copy would be useful.

So for these reasons, I often buy the ebook edition of my hardcopy books, if I can find it DRM‐free. Similarly, after reading a good ebook I’ll often get a physical copy to stash on my shelf. (In any case, though, DRM‐encumbered ebooks are off the table, at least for me!)

Makes me wish for a well‐made book scanner and OCR package, so I can format shift all those physical books I can’t find acceptable ebooks of.

Why not? As long as it's clear what you're getting up-front. It's then up to you if you decide if you agree with them or not.
If at each transaction the prior owner would have to do serious due diligence on the likelihood of the next owner to dispose of the ship sustainably and would be liable for the method of the due diligence, it would preclude unreliable owners from ever buying the ship. And in well regulated economies, going bankrupt is not actually a license to ignore your corporate responsibilities. Owners and executives retain personal liability until the entity is actually dissolved, including assets like ships.

This is actually how we do a lot of regulation quite successfully, when we care about the outcome. There is not actually a government regulator sitting on every assembly line of every factory. Companies mostly self certify that they adhere to regulation and face steep liability if they don’t.
