I've also been on Mint for about 4 years. Didn't realize this until a couple of days ago when I looked at my billing info.

It's been mostly good, but MVNOs do get throttled traffic in some situations. When I lived in the SF Bay Area, it was somewhat annoying to frequently get throttled on a crowded BART train or just while walking around downtown in the middle of the day. But for the most part, it worked fine, and I adjusted to make things work better for me (download offline music and podcasts for commutes, that sort of thing). It's a great option for people who are cheap and patient about internet data speeds.
hm, that really nice solutions - what capture card do you have?
Intellisense is a godsend when you are working in a large code base using proprietary API with varying level of documentation. It's very good at filling in the full name of that pesky class or giving you a quick list of functions in that package for you to pick the one you want.
That explanation is a bit outdated. With Project Mainline most modern Androids will receive many system updates via the store.

> This realization creeped in around the edges with e.g. Byrne Hobart on February 23rd noting that one of the U.S.’s largest banks was recently technically insolvent but almost certainly in a survivable way.

If you have a history of non-payment they may require a security deposit, but with the exception of cable/internet most residential utility bills are sent (and paid) post-usage.
This is something I wish was more widely discussed. Abstract principles are only templates for how to act, not prescriptive rules on what to do.

Much like a craftsman uses various stencils and measures to guide their craft, it's not simply using the stencil that is necessary but applying that stencil with skill and judgment, and when working with others, sharing those stencils kindly.
Lots of good suggestions here. One I don't see is Wotdke's "Radical Focus". It's about OKRs, but don't be put off by prior big-corp experiences with it. The book focuses on using them in an entrepreneurial context and it's great. Even if you decide to come up with your own system, this will help clarify what you want out of a way to set goals and make sure you're on track for them.
It means the images you depend on may cease to exist failing your builds and at worst they'll be replaced by bad actors registering the free namespace so automated CI builds and unsuspecting users can pull their containers instead.

So depending on whether these open-source orgs pay up will determine whether you continue using Docker Hub or whatever registry they migrate to.
It's not merely that "Cramer has made bad predictions in the past," but something more like "Cramer has made bad predictions in the past that are very similar to the current predictions and he does not seem to have reevaluated the underlying assumptions that led him to make those past bad predictions."
both actually! it depends on what kind of workload you are running but for any kind of web application that "just" wants high availability the VMs are more than enough.

They do provide a csi driver for kubernetes for their blockstorage and private networking for both too.

you can even have the masters of VMS and the nodes on bare metal
How to get rich by Felix Dennis - at least it is entertaining.
Seems the good times on Mint will be over soon. It's really frustrating that in most markets these days the big guys constantly buy up smaller companies and kill them. Everywhere we end up with 2-5 super large players that have enormous market power and no real competition.
thats insane...

i hope youre joking.
What utility company is gonna request a payment through Zelle?
There are smaller tests for liquidity, but the specific major stress test that SVB lobbied themselves out of is the DFAST (the Dodd Frank Act Stress Test) and it does not test liquidity. It takes the scenario of an adverse economic situation and comes up with a bunch of hypothetical numbers you might see for major economic variables - “the unemployment rate will be this, the default rate will be that, etc,” - and then banks have to run their books according to those hypothetical numbers and report back what their capital would look like in that situation. If it looks bad, they have to take action to make their capital more secure. Nowhere does it simulate a situation where depositors leave en masse.

There are liquidity tests and SVB was probably failing them (which is probably why the FDIC was paying close attention to them), but that specific test you’ve heard about is not related.
DOJ charges Chinese businessman Guo Wengui in $1B fraud
A good point is individuals could be better off if they could open an account at the Fed and have access to "real" dollars rather than the numbers that are just bank IOUs

Stablecoins are closer in this direction than banks but only if they actually maintain 1:1 reserves. One advantage is that b/c they are protocols there is less need to seek returns to make payroll, rent, and profit. Another is more transparency.

But also... at this point such a stablecoin is basically a CBDC...
Is taxation an effective way to tackle inflation?

Inflation is too much money chasing too little stuff. Taxation is less money that the people have, but more money that the government has. If the government just set the money on fire, that would help with inflation, but they won't. They'll spend it. At that point, we will have the exact same amount of money chasing the exact same amount of stuff; the only difference will be who has the money. So we'll have the same amount of inflation, but people (and businesses) will have less money to try to deal with the inflation. That doesn't sound like an answer at all.
Designing trustworthy AI sounds comparably difficult to finding trustworthy people, and finding people who are widely agreed to be trustworthy is incredibly difficult.

If you want AI to say the right things or have the right opinions, somehow the process needs to find the right things to say or the right opinions to have. This is somewhere between difficult and impossible. If you want AI to give correct facts, somehow you need to determine correct facts. Humans find this extremely difficult — one would need better-than-human AIs!

Maybe a middle ground is possible: an AI that acknowledges the existence of multiple perspectives. Sadly a lot of people are forgetting about this lately.
You're still missing the point:

The world is what it is.

The world could be better.

The world still is what it is.

Your software not handling Roman numerals won't stop people from using them.

There are times when making a futile stand against It, which will neither stop It nor slow It down, is necessary for your own psychological well-being. If you draw that line at the existence of Roman numerals, well, go in peace. However, saying that Roman numerals are pointless and shouldn't exist and therefore your software won't support them is really only screwing over the people who rely on that software because you insist on trying to derive Is from Ought.

I've heard that song before; is it specifically about trichloroethylene?
I'm in a high coverage low density area, where MVNOs excel, and I frequently get people thanking me for recommending they switch.
Some race condition that causes a duplicate signature to be generated, or causes the same signature to be sent to two different cars doesn't seem too outlandish to me. I have seen similar bugs before. The only thing that is coincidental is that the duplicates ended up in two vehicles near enough to each other for the mistake to matter.
I hope so! So far I've been unimpressed with ChatGPT and Copilot for generating TLA+. It mixes in idioms from other programming languages, like RETURN, which make no sense in TLA+.

What I'm hoping is that it'll be helpful for writing J. That'd be a feat.
I have never experienced anything like that on either coasts of the US. The utility company has an obvious looking website that you can use to make an account and pay electronically.

In the US, any business that requests payment outside of credit card/debit card/ACH/checks is questionable.
Also anecdotally in this group - switched from AT&T yearly prepaid (25$/m or so) to post-paid Verizon because it got worse and worse over the three years I had it. Throttling got significantly worse over time and had a number of support issues with the yearly setup.

> Sometimes road markings disappear in rain and the bright lights reflecting off the road can mess up the contrast.

That’s a problem that a lot of countries solved a long while ago… The solution is a bit of paint every 10 years or so.

There are cultural reasons, with the US preferring words and abbreviations and steadfastly refusing pictures that are standard in most of the world. But it is not a technical problem.
I give my stuff away for free (and sell paper copies for profit).

Publishers really help with marketing, editing, typesetting, cover design, fronting cash, and other things, which is why people go with them.

But they also tend to take the rights to the book, and I didn't want that for my books. As such, I make about $100/year in donations, and paper book sales are in the hundreds of dollars per month range. My day job subsidizes this work.

And all books are DRM-free once you remove the DRM from them (which is trivial to do). I try to make a product people want to pay for, not one they have to pay for.

But that's just me. Jack London famously hated writing and only did it to support his lifestyle.

I've conditioned my parents to doubt every form of communication that comes to them, whether its a phone call, mailed invoice, or emailed. They'll take a picture and ask me before doing anything about it. Hopefully this practice continues as they age. Sure its a little more of a nuisance for me, but it also gives peace of mind that I'm helping in some small way.
There is no worse feeling that searching something and finding your own question (still unanswered) years later.
Right, these are the father and grandfathers of all OOP
I think something like IPFS would be perfect for that, you have some layers pulled in your storage anyways.

big projects could self host easily, as their popularity would quickly give them enough seeds to not need to provide much traffic themselves.

also I think adapting docker way of storing layers as tars is fundamentally broken, maybe with combination with something like ostree as a storage to decrease duplicates we could really cut a lot of storage.

imagine how much unique content does your average docker image have? 1 binary and maybe few text files? rest is probably os and deps anyways.
"which I'm sure will result in rate increases, even though they say they have no immediate plans to do that."

If they say they have no "immediate" plans, it means they have medium-term plans already worked out. Gotta hate corporate doublespeak.
As someone that has gone to school for digital security and been employed in roles dealing with this, and just generally being a nerd interested in learning about this stuff, even I see how good these scams are and how hard they can be fore people like me to spot, and I don't understand why there aren't legal, regulatory and technological measures being taken to make it harder to scam people and easier to fix problems when they happen.
I worked briefly for a financial crimes prevention organization, and the minimum dollar amount of loss we could get police to act on was over $100,000. We would do all the research and present them with a complete case.
I think this thread was started by the manager that has to hear that push back, hence the headaches.
Story Time: In an older, much less technical world, the VW Golf 1 and Golf 2 had only N different keys for all models. So instead of having a unique key for each Golf, VW had (I forgot the number) 1000 or 10000 different keys that were assigned randomly. I thought this was a myth until back in 99, my friends white, old Golf 2 was parked next to another white, old Golf 2. When we wanted to enter, there was sleeping guy in there. His Golf was parked next to ours. It was evening, he was tired, instead of driving home (the Golfs were parked outside a club) he had opened the Golf gotten in and fallen asleep. Just that he had entered the wrong Golf, because (even though very unlikely) there were to similar-looking golfs with the same keys next to each other (and it was dark).
I've received multiple phone calls from my bank to discuss my mortgage

Every time they call me and ask to "go through verification" - aka I give a random stranger on the phone the personal information they need to identify themselves with my bank - so I tell them I'll call them back instead

Then i call back and get bounced around through multiple teams until inevitably the call drops, I think because my mortgage was bought from another bank so it isn't well understood by customer support

Anyway, I think it is legit calls I get from the bank. I hope it isn't important because i still haven't got through to them to talk about it

Beam: The most affordable GDPR compliant Google Analytics alternative on market
No, I don't think that follows. It is plausible that a system could remain stable under perturbations to the dynamical laws. In their case they find that there seems to be no critical threshold for GR on the stability of the system. Presumably if you strengthened GR somewhat rather than weakening it you would find increased stability. (Though I don't know that they ran that experiment.)

I should note that you could make these changes two ways: you could just suddenly change the dynamical rules or you could gradually change them (a so-called "adiabatic" change). Making a sudden change is more likely to result in an instability. In this paper they were looking at adiabatic changes.
Yep. I went and quickly looked them up on Wikipedia. They have a list of controversies so long that the outline of the "controversies" subheading won't even fit on my phone screen.

Drug cartel money, strong ties to the Russian oligarchy, forex manipulation, corrupt dealings with African governments, destruction of records, tax fraud.

The list is extensive to say the least.
It looks like the maintainers of https://vscode.dev/ need to fix their browser sniffing to allow Firefox 111 to work.
>Or that the bank should be able to say "depositor X transferred $100 million to Chase, so we sent Chase a wire for $10 million and treasuries marked HTM worth $90 million" or something.

Why? HTM bonds are not cash so they are not interchangeable. This is like if you were forced to accept a 10 year IOU in place of cash from your employer.
Yes, but only with sufficient observation. Since this body was recently discovered, there likely hasn't been enough observation time to know the direction and velocity of the object with great certainty. The more we observe it, the better we'll know where it'll be in 20 years.
I did something similar for my macbook with uxplay: https://github.com/FDH2/UxPlay

I ran it in console directly rendering to framebuffer and it has hardware-accelerated video decoding. On Raspberry pi 3, hooked to lan and my macbook on wifi the lag is ok. It's about the same as ssh over slow cellular. I mainly run my terminals watching the logs/builds etc. on that display.
I think these are all fair points, and if the author of that article were capable of making them, I'd be sympathetic. Instead we got a litany of non-libertarians (including Larry Page! lol) plus David Sacks. Peter Thiel is also guilty, you see, because he's buddies with Sacks and once upon a time worked with Elon.

The underlying problem here is the naturalistic fallacy. Libertarianism is a set of statements about how the world should be, not about how it is. I think this is a flaw with the ideology, because I don't see a path from the "is" world to the "ought" world, but that's beside the point. Your chess vs checkers analogy is right on.

David Sacks had a concise statement about what he thought the world should be based on what it is.[0] I'm not sure how it works in practice, but it is a coherent worldview. Given that we don't live in a world corresponding to his proposal, but in one where certain people making loud noises can get their way, I don't see any hypocrisy, even though it may be embarrassing.

Thanks for the upvote – I'm at -3 so far. :D

A task force of 10 law enforcement officers and support staff with the necessary technical skills is going to have a fully loaded cost way higher than $1M per year.
Right, it's hard to make a screen reader understand context, but that's just a development/UX challenge.

The point of a screen reader isn't to simply declare what characters are on the screen. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to read English. The point of a screen reader is to interpret human-readable text into human-listenable sound.

How is that character typically used? Perhaps as a scientific signifier of units? Or as an insert for another letter to create emphasis? Maybe both! Can the screen reader infer the context from the surrounding text? Or perhaps it's just a rarely used symbol, and the default output should be a blip that indicates a symbol or something.
Measuring its current position and velocity isn't the hard part, it's chaos theory and the n-body problem for its future position/velocity.

Indeed. I don't understand how that worked. You need to create a "phone key" in the app to unlock / use the car. You do that by swiping your card key once. Those keys can't be used in different cars unless something very fishy is going on.
I wonder what experienced Common Lisp compiler devs could accomplish if they turned their attention to Python.
Don’t forget the “no U-turn” signs, sometimes with a traffic sign _and_ text, every hundred meters or so, also in places where you have to be insane to try and make one, such as on Golden State bridge.

I’ve also seen them on roads where the median strip was over 10 meters wide, with a ditch _and_ guard rails. I guess that’s what they have SUVs for.

So in a downturn all of the banks would just seem insolvent.

What is the alternative ? To have the banks trading on a millisecond basis so that the mark to market value of assets is positive ? What about the transaction fees ?
Ryan Reynolds youtube channel is an exemple in how bad 99% of advertising campaigns are. Almost everything he posts are ads for his companies or ventures, and not only am I subscribed but I eagerly watch every content he post as soon as I get the notification.

A part of it is that it's funny and well made, the other parts is that the content doesn't have that "bullshit ad" factor, I don't know how to explain it, he knows it's an ad, you know it's an ad, nobody is hiding from it.

And you will find that 90% of comments under his video are saying the same thing I am here, the guy has essentially made watching ads fun.

(also, some of his Gin ads are hilarious, like his "Ryan Reynolds' Vasectomy" cocktail recipe)

I agree, but that negotiation isn't necessarily in explicit terms. In my experience elderly people will spend all day insisting that they will do something themselves (protecting their own ego), yet most of the time if you go ahead and just do it for them they just accept it and move on.
Call your governments, and apply pressure to force them to force the business community (telcos, banks, etc) to stop tolerating this and get serious about it.
You're saying that if a bank paid $100m for low-yielding bonds in 2021 which are now worth $80m, those bonds should be valued at $100m on the bank's balance sheet. What if a different bank pays $80m today for the same bonds? Should they be able to show an immediate $20m increase in their book value because those bonds are "worth $100m"?

What advantages does Flatpak offer over Nix?

The only benefit(s) I see are:

1. Sandboxed applications (via containers?) - so applications you have don't technically have access to your home directories by default. That's sort of nice - but how many applications really warrant this overhead?

2. Possibly easier to write/package? That said, in Nix you pretty much just need to package once.

I've not used Flatpak - can somebody who is maybe familiar with both technologies comment further? While I may be a big Nix evangelist, it's always confused me a bit why Flatpak exists and I'm curious if it is truly solving a problem I'm unaware of.
I do find the "unlimited" plan claims annoying. Most operators make this false claim. I know for sure that Tello does something similar, and their fallback is a "2G" (not actually 2G, just throttled) throttled speed to about 64kb/s. This is effectively unusable, and while they might claim it is just "slower", in application, many requests will just timeout and cause errors at those speeds.

I think Mint and Boost throttle down to around 512kb/s, although not sure as I've never experienced, tested, or read about it myself.
What do you think about Nix
Someone needs to slap a comprehensive GUI installer and configuration UI onto NixOS. It solves similar problems in a non-hacky way but is not easy enough for the average user.
I also despair that it's used as a beginner language. There are so many better options. I even include Java in that list.

So why is it used? As it has a fantastic eco-system for applied statistics / machine learning / various math things. If you're teaching an introduction to programming then it's a very effective language.

That and once people progress it's decent - much prefer the code written in Python by competent developers to that written in Java or even Go. It also sets people up to use more robust languages such as C# or (for those with a Math background) Haskell.
