Some countries disallow sensitive/protected words unless a criterium is met by the organisation. For example, here's the list for the United Kingdom [0]. The decision to allow or disallow a sensitive word is commonly delegated to organizations overseeing associated matters.

The use of words like "Open" could signal that the company has a process for 3rd party code auditing. Whether doing it as a matter of government legislation would be a notable benefit for society, I am not sure.

Perhaps an independent global accreditor could be established that does the same. While there may not immediately be penalties for using a protected phrase or word in such a scenario, there is still value in accreditation. People prefer accredited universities and accredited professionals. Over time, countries would delegate the regulation of protected word use to accreditors (as the UK did). Or an accreditor could trademark a phrase or a visual badge, and chase its wrongful users.

But even then, one could argue that this would not be a net benefit to society. How would such an accreditor make money, and would that create barriers to accreditation for good faith actors? We certainly see some of that with some accreditations.

Maybe we should not create more bureaucracy in the world because we believe "open" should mean one thing or another.

That would deserve a post of its own

but it's not an accurate perspective IMO, when it mixes all kinds of bikes.

-> you can't compare bikes to go to work and sport bike. Sport bikes aim for performance, not being lean. Sport bikes have carbon fibre frames, proprietary components, the new wheel mounts, as mentioned,...
And they pretty much last only a few years.

*BUT* previous road bikes were not better : the horizontal mounting would worn out after a few years. Your back wheel would become hard to secure, and would swerve left and ram the frame.

The brakes on the rim would also wear it out, so that you had to change the whole wheels (which is expensive) from time to time, and not just a disc.

Also, old steel frames could rust and become floppy after a few years.

And material science wasn't as good a few years ago, so a lot of things could happen to your bike (cracks on the seat post mounting, bent chainset, ...)

So all in all, the useful lifespan of sport bikes weren't better.

-> then utility bikes : modern utility bikes are still made out of steel or aluminium, standard components, and are still much more sturdy and dependable for the same reason.

Mine will soon be 10, has spent 2 weeks at the bottom of a lake just after I had it, has countless scratches, has had countless crashes with cars and urban furniture, I rode under the rain or freezing mist, in the forests, cobbled streets, in the city; the bike stayed outside in freezing winter or hot summer, the blokes tried to steal it,... And it's still there. I just had to change the wheels twice.

OP also overplays compatibility issues. You indeed used to have standard components, and you still do ! But instead of having to choose between 5 or 7 gears, you can choose between 5 and 11 gears on utility bikes. And old parts are still available.

There are just some parts that became shorter lived, for reasons :
Forks now have suspensions, and saddles are now comfortable, thanks to foam.

On the other hand, OP underplays the issue with electric bikes. There is indeed a lack of standardization for these. Which means that when your battery gets worn out (typically after 800 cycles, so 3-5 years), odds are that your battery isn't produced anymore, and you can dispose of the bike.

please resubmit it to discuss it further !

Why would they talk about this? The solution is obvious, and the US has practiced the solution for a very long time now: immigration at a sufficient rate to make up for the decline in population.

This is really mostly a problem for Japan and Korea where they don't play sufficiently well with immigrants.
Thanks, I mostly wanted to illustrate that there are some who fall into the age and education range mentioned that also spend time to teach themselves outside of class. My main point being that its difficult to attribute knowledge directly to an age and time spent in a degree path. However, I also fall in the subset that just seem to enjoy this type of learning, with probably too much time on their hands.
In regards to Boris Johnson and Gavin Newsom, IMO that is a straw man argument. You talking hypocrisy and now not about illegal fishing.

Why would Amazon (owner of twitch) care about that? They have tons of cash and revenues are still quite strong. AMZN isn’t looking for VC funding, they are the whale.

Net income is hard to judge — yes it’s down but not only is Amazon famous for reinvesting all profits and claiming $0 of net earnings, but they’ve also been writing off a lot of one time charges for severances related to these layoffs.

I did as well, but once you write a low level driver for the nth time you kind of get sick of it and just want to build shit.

I was just playing with the very opposite of that idea recently actually, setting the peripheral configuration through a taylored bytecode.

most of us get raised for about two decades, right? I mean acknowledging that 240 months is at least 2 months in the most literal sense but even if we think that it's reasonable for the mother of a 2-month old infant to be working full time surely there's still almost 2 full decades of potential precarity around food, housing, healthcare, general wellness...

Most people doesn’t fine tune the models (llama or openAI). A MacBook M1 can run those model ($1000) and in many cases the user already have it. You also need a computer to access openAI, the comparison boils down to $20/m vs $0. At this point in time, LLM are a curiosity for most people

> if you pay-off your mortgage, do you still owe annual taxes on your property

Depends on where you live. Some counties has property taxes, others do not. One reason for why Norwegians have lots of debt is that its subsidized since you can write off parts of the interests from your taxes. Also there is taxes on wealth, i.e the tax system incentivizes having debt.
I don’t understand how this is affecting AMZN’s cash flow though. Seems like both their costs and revenues would scale similarly with inflationary effects, leaving a similar profit margin %.

Writing a full CRUD todo app on both web and iOS helped me understand things a lot better. The most important thing is to keep it simple, and by going across platforms you can see the importance of good data representation design.

The idea is to start off by making bad decisions, and slowly refactoring your way to good abstraction, this helps you intuit the reason for abstractions.

> while their dedicated servers could have easily served almost any traffic thrown at them and be more responsive

Sounds great, for some use cases. Particularly if you don't need multiple 9's of uptime, and just need a few 8's. Most companies don't have:
* Guaranteed sla's for replacing components when the RAM needs to be reseated, a drive fails, or the fans get too dusty and things overheat

* Redundancy set up in case the network connection fails

* Redundancy set up in case the power fails. (Many places will have a UPS for under an hour, but generators, along with a regular maintenance schedule and processes for ensuring fuel is another thing)

* On site security, to make sure nobody breaks in and does some corporate espionage

* Ultra-high-speed links to the internet

And if the little startup takes on a client with important certification requirements, it can be very helpful to have a cloud provider. A lot of contracts I've taken on over the years ask tough questions during the sales process about our practices regarding the above things and much more.
JPMorgan bought the nickel that turned out to be stones
Federal reserve interest rates.

When interest rates are low, money flows more freely. When interests rates are up, it's harder to lend/borrow, money flows less freely, and the economy cinches up as a whole. This is a major simplification to a very complex system, but it happens because e.g. as someone with money, you'd rather just put it into a government bond that will for sure pay you 4%, rather than chasing speculative investments. When that same bond is only paying out 1%, you might be more inclined to put your money in a start up and see what happens.
> Such as what, though?

Drivers for WiFi, audio, Bluetooth, a heap of I2C devices like keyboards on laptops and temp/fan control, graphics cards, and much much more.

Not a single company “built out support” for all these things. And none of it is covered by some common interface — each must be reverse engineered (or implemented following reference manuals, if they are available). Intel and AMD did not provide support for these, because they can’t — the processor architecture is oblivious of these peripherals.

I think you’re underestimating how much volunteer work has been done to get Linux to be usable on any machine. From your wording, I suspect you may think there are some grand unifying abstractions that, when implemented once, provide compatibility with most machines, and that Intel and AMD did just that. But that would be mistaken.

This makes me wonder about science fiction stories. As automation in labor force increases, there is less demand for labor. Governments will also be able survive with fewer tax payers.

Eventually, reproducing without license and training will be illegal. Then completely banned. And then there will be more machines and fewer humans.

And primitive societies will continue to reproduce but eventually be conquered.

And then machines will slowly gain enough intelligence and self awareness that they will overthrow human masters.

And eventually it will be just machines debating meaning of life.
I am the cofounder and CEO of a startup called Treehouse. Our mission to help kids develop a better relationship with technology by providing parents with the tools to supervise this time. We integrate directly with large platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, etc and actually ingest content level data to create a holistic picture of how a child is using the internet. So in addition to just screen time, parents can see their exact type of content, how a child’s activity compares with other kids their age, potential red flags to be aware of, and other features which weren’t previously possible.

We're looking to recruit parents who are concerned about their kids screen time to offer our product to and learn from. If you're interested in being involved please visit our website, www.mytreehouse.tech
Hm. I haven’t tried the local installs yet. However, when the Alpaca web demo was live, I did find it to be comparable (though not quite as capable) to davinci-003. It answered arbitrary factual questions about pop culture references, law, medicine, and programming. It generated rhymes and poems. (I didn’t try asking for the emoji thing, so can’t say anything about that.) It performed natural language tasks such as information extraction and summarization. And it did all of it coherently.
Thanks for the answer.

> That part of a package exposes options ... in the sense that the same package can be built many different ways, and even with different dependencies.

It is quite a common pattern in nix to have package build flags and the dependencies as inputs in a derivation. This definitely makes it possible to build in different ways and with different dependencies.

Doesn't it need to run introspection queries to check the table structures? This is still a significant overhead compared to code-only compilation, and it also requires an additional component (the database) in your build stack, which also needs to have a schema in sync with other developers and whatever deployment target to which you intend to push the compiled program. That also means that if you're building with a local copy of the DB, and deploying to a remote with its own DB, you have another source of risk for disparity between compile and runtime (I assume such an error would be caught quickly, so maybe it's not so much about additional "risk" as it is increased operational complexity).
It is generally true of course that the first amendment doesn’t shield you from private consequences, but, from the article:

> It’s important to point out that the rule in the CBA is actually illegal. As BGSU’s Freedom of Expression policy points out, Ohio state law compels universities to strictly follow specific required language for any harassment policy such as this. Any alleged harassment must not be protected by the First Amendment (Coons’ email opinions clearly are) and must be “so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it effectively denies an individual equal access to the individual’s education program or activity.” It is hard to imagine how Coons’ emails deny anyone equal access to anything on campus.

From the BGSU’s document, so this is their understanding of the law I guess:

> Ohio Revised Code 3345.0212 requires each public university in Ohio to adopt a policy on harassment that is consistent with and adheres strictly to the definition of harassment in section 3345.0122 of the Ohio Revised Code.

> The university believes that the right of expression is as necessary as the right of inquiry and that both must be preserved as essential to the pursuit and dissemination of knowledge and truth. However, the university’s commitment to freedom of expression does not extend to harassment. Under section 3345.0122, harassment is defined as conduct and/or expression that is:

> 1. not protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution or Article I of the Ohio Constitution (Unprotected Expression);

> 2. unwelcome; and

> 3. so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it effectively denies an individual equal access to the individual's education program or activity.

> Expression (either in person, in writing or by telecommunication) must meet all three elements to be actionable under this policy.

(Emphasis mine).

It looks like they have decided to import the First Amendment into their harassment document. I’m not sure I understand exactly what “protected by the first amendment” means (in these sense that the first amendment sets the default expectations for government behavior, it doesn’t specifically protect particular types of speech) but if there’s anything weird there it is a problem with Ohio law.

Not necessarily, but I don't think the Northern Territory having no apparent limit on bookmaker licenses is a good idea either.
That said, I think the tote is not a predatory monopoly because it just takes a percentage (I don't think it's fixed but maybe it's capped) of all bets whereas the fixed odds players need to squeeze every penny because if they're not careful they can lose money, so having 10+ fixed odds bookmakers creates an environment of cut-throat and sometimes dubious behaviour to make money.
This is an excellent topic and I was hoping to find a set of great ideas here (really love the http server example). I was thinking of the concept of Katas in martial arts. What would be the Katas for programming I wonder.

Some thoughts:

1) Build your own database. Not a SQL db. Just something that takes records on a cli and enables retrieval. Persist the data. Support better queries/

2) Maze solver.

3) Snake game

4) Helper/Solver for something like Wordle.

5) Chat server (but I like the HTTP server idea. Annoying thing is newer HTTP versions have gotten complicated).

I think there are twenty to fifty of these little things we have all done in our career, and either forgotten them or it felt too natural to register. Wish someone compiles a list of such projects some day. It would bring back joy in some of the coder-at-heart folks lives.
For an hour, sure. But it sounds like the GP was saying this is how they work 9-5.
> Contrast with a society where the average education might be lower, less people having a stable job in a slow labor market, and if you lose your job there is no safety net.

Educational attainment in the Nordic countries isn't actually that good. It might have been at one point. These days I think it sometimes looks good because some statistics count having any experience at higher levels, which having cost-free education facilitates. If you instead look at actual degrees the Nordic countries are average among OECD countries.

Bachelor's degrees
OECD Average 18%
Iceland 21%
Denmark 20%
Norway 20%
Sweden 18%
Finland 20%

Countries above 21% in OECD: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Korea, Lithuania, Netherlands, New Zealand, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States.

Once you realize that sometime in the past 10-20 years the economy started having nothing to do with actual goods and services and instead turned into some sort of weird game played by the powerful and the rich it makes more sense.

Personally I peg it happening sometime around 2008 when it became clear the rules didn't matter, consequences were for the poor and party hearty. Explain how else a company like Uber that was losing money on every ride was able to raise billions in VC funding.

Think of it like that and it makes more sense.

First, "out of state" doesn't mean "across the continent" (though that is more likely in Seattle or SF, since they're rather isolated from out of state population centers).

Second, that is not evidence in the slightest of people doing this "every few years". Hell, most people don't want to move locally that often, let alone an expensive and very disruptive long distance move.
