Right, roaming as in international roaming.

I’m on T-Mobile right now, and the plan equivalent to the one I had with AT&T (all inclusive and unlimited data), does include 5GB of international data per month. AT&T was $10, even for employees, so not a great deal for frequent travelers.
Wireless carriers have been pulling stunts like this over the last several years. For example, T-Mobile blocks all SMS messages with links that have a .xyz TLD. There's no indication that it was blocked by neither the sender or the receiver. I assume this was done to prevent spam and sketchy websites, but personally speaking I've seen way more sketchy .com sites and more spam coming from gmail accounts.
Everyone needs to pay for their usage. Road taxes fix roads using gas as a tax was an easy way to charge for usage.

Air pollution is a different issue and electric cars have rebates to encourage purchases.
you need either A) paid access to a service, B) money to purchase moderately powerful hardware or C) money to rent moderately powerful hardware.

None of this is true, you can easily use a colab and load the models on a drive, I have always done it this way and it works perfectly.

Also if you just need to start, there are plenty of free interface online to use, colab if actually you want to dive in.

Here in NZ it's as easy, except you can put your donations in ahead of time (as you make them) and get the donation tax refund right then, not wait for the end of the year
Conservativism is about maintaining and perpetuating hierarchies in society and fighting hard against anything that might change the hierarchy. Different conservative groups differ on who should be at the bottom of the hierarchy.

In the USA, we have

1. Social conservatives - anyone who isn't white, heterosexual, Christian should be at the bottom hierarchy. Tucker Carlson informs them who they should focus on at the present moment. For now it is trans people. It was Mexicans and Muslims very recently and immigrants are a perennial favorite.

2. Libertarians - We already have people at the bottom of the hierarchy. Let's just keep them there by disallowing government support and subjecting them to monopolies and arcane private contracts. They are also highly supportive of bombing nations perceived to be lower in the hierarchy.

3. Big business - doesn't care who is at the bottom as long as they are guaranteed exclusive reign at the top.

Obviously, hierarchies are difficult to maintain in a democracy as the majority of the people are at the bottom of the hierarchy. This problem is solved by obfuscation and propaganda. Group 3 uses Group 2(rayiner et al) to construct messaging and propaganda to convince Group 1 to vote against their own interests. In fact, the US Democratic party is also center right and operates in a similar, but less blatant fashion. This can be seen from how Bernie Sanders was shut out of the party nominations even if it meant losing the 2016 elections.

> So what? So you have to explain that you didn't violate the auditing laws? That's hardly a huge burden. Don't use corporate assets for personal communication, problem solved.

So are you okay with the government subpoenaing your private phone communications because they think when you asked your coworker to call you on your personal phone to talk about where you wanted to go out drinking?

Fascism is when the government controls every area of your life and of corporations. Do you think giving the government more control of the private sector will lessen the chance of fascism?

Age classification isn't.
Money isn't diverted to open source - its spent on staffing (both in house and consultancies) needed to support the open source software.

Hiring Deloitte or Accenture or another consultancy to provide the support for an open source piece of software (be it directly or "we need to have people with these skills") is still extracting money from the org and I can assure you that the consultancy isn't contributing back to FOSS.

As it is, Microsoft is a known quantity with a support SLA that meets the necessary requirements both for hosting of data and for response time. The cost of Microsoft licenses and support is less than the cost of hiring additional staff or bringing in a consultancy.

A budget item with a fixed number in it is much preferable for budgetary allocation than open ended numbers typically found from consultancies.

The support of open source software is often more costly for the public sector than going with a big tech solution - even when including the cost of licensing.

Until the cost of support for open source solutions comes down to where the proprietary options are, it is often not something that is considered.

RedHat is an example of a company that is doing it right - offering the support that the public sector desires with a consistent budget line item.

If you can stand up a PostgreSQL instance that is able to compete with the Oracle performance and support (e.g. backup restore failed - call support and have someone on the phone helping now) for less than the cost of the Oracle licensing you will have people beating down your door to sign up.

Same thing with Microsoft.

For the federal government to do this on their own is much more costly. It goes back to the consultancies to implement, migrate, and maintain. Trying to staff up to be competitive to be able to do it in house is also quite costly (note the pay difference between public sector and private and then multiply that difference as an ongoing expense by the number of employees needed).

And so this returns back to the FOSS community to address the needs of the public sector and create the needed companies that are competitive to be able to provide that ongoing support.

That's definitely true. And to be fair, even in the seminal Neuromancer the mega buildings are in and around Tokyo while the US has sprawl and my native Bonn apparently got nuked or something.

I've visited Shanghai, Chongqing, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Osaka and they are definitely more what I want. I visited Chongqing in 2009 and now it looks incredibly cyberpunk: https://youtu.be/cD-t3W1zLzg

I would theoretically be very interested to live in Tokyo, Shanghai or Hong Kong. I greatly enjoyed my visits. The density and public transit makes for fantastic exploration and walking without getting into a car. Tokyo has great parks and many neighborhoods feel quite cosy if that's what you are looking for. I'm worried about Japan's work culture though and it doesn't seem particularly welcoming to foreigners. I absolutely loved China in the 00s and would have loved to live their for a bit. I did stay for a month with a girlfriend who did an internship in Shanghai and it was one of the greatest times of my life. Everything was booming and exciting. China had issues but seemed on a good trajectory. Now I feel that trajectory has reversed and I'd be uncomfortable to even visit.

I still love the idea of living in a huge Asian city at some point. Right now nothing seems attractive enough. Maybe Taipei or Seoul, but I haven't visited either and have obvious concerns about Taiwan.
Sorry, but that's false:
https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php...
2022, for households, on average:
Germany 0.32€/kwh
France 0.20€/Kwh

The spread was much tighter before. Because "renewables"* are unreliable and needed gas plants to make up for when the wind doesn't blow, or the sun doesn't shine, price spiked up after the Ukraine war started. They wouldn't have had this problem with nuclear.

French woes are mainly linked to an aging infrastructure and delayed maintenance due to Covid-19.

Ah, and fun fact, did you know that coal emits more radioactivity per kwh than nuclear? https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/coal-ash-is-more-...

The German's foreign affairs office was funding the Henrich Boll fundation, which campaigns in France for renewables along with the anti-nuclear movement? https://archive.is/tSY2w#selection-1357.95-1357.108

The renewable sector is for from being "clean", there are many cases of corruption, influences, and vested interests behind the main proponents of this solution. Gazprom funded antinuclear movements in Europe. Many "fundations", acting for the fossil fuel industry, fund the movements that suit their agenda. https://twitter.com/GeWoessner/status/1498411537144463360

As we saw since the start of 2022, this bet has paid handsomely. EU citizens will have to deal with pollution, increased electricity prices, and wind turbines impossible to recycle.

One could also go on about how China killed the EU solar panels industry by handing out unlimited subsidies. The EU was so slow to act that when they started to tax chinese panels, it was too late already. The funniest thing being that those panels are made using coal power, so it's likely that solar panels from China are worse than their alternatives. Just like electric cars in Eastern Europe emit more CO2 than thermic due to the widespread use of the worst kind of coal there to produce electricity.

Twain writes about it himself in his (insanely long) autobiography. Grant was nearly broke when Twain - who was a great admirer of his - pushed him to write it and set him up with a publisher. After the publisher tried to screw Grant with a horrible contract, Twain published it himself.

Although now a semi privatized corporate, the Australian Post Office remains a licenced receiver of debts to the government and will accept cash over the counter toward a payment for tax. The clearing mechanism is pretty good here.

I cannot help wondering if the pretty ludicrous inter-bank processes of the USA are the anomoly which causes a lot of this. The whole situation around bank cheques, moving money between institutions remained (I cannot say it remains, it may have been fixed now) far long than in other economies.

We all wear 3 days clearing for historical reasons, even though you can do most funds transfer in under a minute (transferwise does international in under 5) but I continued to hear about people walking into small local financial institutions with a bank cheque from inter-state and having to deal with major "you aren't from round here" creaking door, stunned silence banjo sound-track localisms.

The last time I had one of those experiences was in 1982 in the UK when I mistook an islamic bank in Manchester for a classical british bank and tried to cash a cheque on sunday. I really should have thought why that door was open when everyone else was closed (they are banks, licenced financial institutions, but they are emphatically NOT banks as we think of them, especially around interest debt, and a cheque is a kind of promissory note, a debt instrument)

> If the government wants everyone to pay their taxes, why doesn’t it make it as easy as possible?

Various people in congress want it to be complicated so that people will be even more unhappy about paying taxes.* This is the same reason states require sales taxes to be specified separately and one reason VAT/GST has been repeatedly rejected in the US.

* I am not unhappy about paying taxes. I get a lot of services more cheaply than I would through the private sector (and some that make no sense to be privatized)
Hmm. It is pretty easy to file for an extension, which would I guess put you past the busy time for the office. Although I guess one would want to double check and make sure they don’t end up with some penalties.
Does that company still have a Belgium office? If so, they obviously disagree with your assessment of the value of those employees.
As a Korean & English speaking person (Korean Australian) I've grown to love my mother tongue more as I've gotten older, spoke English more, read more Korean books, tried to analyze the differences in languages and communication approaches etc. I just "feel" Korean as a language is, so different to English - more, expressive? nuanced? I'm sure there are plenty of other languages out there that are like that. I don't know how knowing these two very different languages have helped me and shaped me, but I'm certain it's been positive.
Or rather, copyright is as long as Disney needs it to be. The length keeps getting pushed back, suspiciously close to when Mickey Mouse would enter public domain.

All this to say, don't expect anything to enter public domain anytime soon.
How would you reproduce the build on systems that are not capable of performing the build due to hardware or practical constraints? If I am obtaining closed-source packages, how do I reproduce those builds? The benefit of signing is adjacent, but not the same as the need to confirm the output of the build process.
If you've ever done something to get yourself added to the unholy nightmare that is Chexsystems, you're either excluded (if you are in a metro with a small number of financial institutions) or you have a lot of hoops to go through to get an account. There's no requirement to open a basic functionality demand deposit account, like found in the Eurozone, so it's up to financial institutions to decide who they will and won't accept.

For example, there's a credit union near me that advertises second-chance checking accounts. The account costs $7 per month and you have to take a $25 personal finance literacy course (that wasn't offered during the pandemic).

I've had what they did not call an IQ test as part of pre-interview screening.

They also didn't call the personality test a personality test.
Just want to reinforce, probably the euro does not, but all US currency contains the phrase "this note legal tender for all debts, public and private" which indicates that the IRS must accept cash, they can't refuse it.
That and massive lobbying from TurboTax and similar companies. There is also concern that millions or at least hundreds of thousands of accountants would be out of work.

It's the same in Japan with English. People wear things with English words to make themselves look cool, just as a westerner might with kanji, and the actual meaning of the word is secondary to the point of being entirely inconsequential, which is why you might see some hilarious stuff on your way around town.
You are probably at that 4-7 years experience level where you are at the top of your stack and feel like you know everything. In the next 15 years you will learn anything can be implemented in any language and the tradeoffs are less important than they appear
One of the best ways to find running routes when you’re visiting a new city.

A really cool use of all that data.
The first set of rules looks for elements in a webpage with a matching ID/class name, and removes them. The second set removes URL parameters, which are used all the time for example in referral links, like on Amazon. It looks a bit like &tracking-id="xxxx" at the end of a link. Those rules will remove those as well, providing a clean link without additional tracking that Booking.com uses to identify where you came from, maybe what ad you clicked on, etc etc
100% wrong. You can't advertise a lower price - for obvious reasons, but you can of course give a lower price to people who call, email or walk in.

Many hotels are idiotic about this and will put a cheaper price on booking, then wonder why booking is taking all their reservations. Unexplainable...
I absolutely have seen it. A lot. It's dressed up as Luddism, more often expressed as "you shouldn't be able to have those results because I spent years honing my craft" which may or may not be followed by "...and if we allow this, those years were wasted and I'm out of a job, along with millions of others".
The parent was talking about dying during child berth and homicide rates. You are completely changing the topic now.

Our system isn’t perfect and some people have had unfortunate luck by not having insurance when a medical emergency came up. But that has nothing to do with what the conversation was.
It might actually be easier for recent immigrants to get an account, because they have no history with ChexSystems, the _de facto_ credit bureau analogue for banking history.

When working for a technology company offering retail banking services (in a past life) the #1 reason for denying an account was a negative ChexSystems report. That means the applicant has had checks bounce, held a negative balance for too long, or was suspected of identity theft/fraud (often they were victims, sometimes unknowingly).
He doesn't say he expects those breakthroughs to never happen. Just not in his lifetime.
There's a chance of that, but in practice it's easy to filter them out, since only one of the chains will be complete from the very top of the stack to the current stack pointer. The others will almost certainly be partially overwritten by other stack activity and incomplete, or not match the current stack pointer.
That's possible, but you'd have to see some actual evidence rather than the rantings of an unhinged conspiracy theorist like the author.

Why Pentiment Lets You Send Innocent People to Death
All flights were on one carrier: American Airlines. AA's in an alliance with Iberian, Finnair and others. But I guess each one was selling the same flights, with the same rights and everything, at different prices, on one ticket.

But I do see Google's OTA listing offering things like you say where you're not protected in the event of a missed connection delay and have some shady insurer that's supposed to 'protect' you outside of the airlines.
It's a distinction without a difference. Some locales give the lien holder an incredible amount of power over the vehicle, some give slightly less. At the end of the day, though, it's not your car until you own it free and clear.

The relevant law in Washington State:

> Once you are in default, the lender may repossess your car at any time. They do not have to notify you before the repossession takes place. The lender cannot commit a crime, use abusive language, enter a home without permission, or take an item if you physically resist. Cars can be towed from public or private lots.

If you default on payments, it doesn't sound like it's 'your' car anymore. You aren't the owner of something that can legally be taken away from you at any time.
You're right, I was being overly sloppy with my wording here. I was only referring to the uniform electric resistance part of energy losses that would be gone. My understanding had always been that the latters makes up a significant portion of the total energy CPUs consume because we're still many orders of magnitude away from the Landauer limit, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landauer%27s_principle .
I really want to see what would happen if the "taxes are theft" crowd actually lived in a society without taxes.

I suspect they'd go maybe a couple months before they were like "hey we should pool money together to fix the potholes in the roads". And eventually they're going to form something that looks a hell of a lot like a government, and they're going to have to collect something that looks a hell of a lot like taxes. And then give it a couple of generations and you'll have a brand new bunch of human house cats crying "taxation is theft".

Which is why the only practical thing to do with libertarians is to ignore them.
Ah yes, “unveiled” on 60 minutes but too dangerous to be given to the public.

Evolution is much like that old sporting adage, "you can only beat what's in front of you". I think there are a lot of assumptions about the nature of evolution to assume that life wouldn't find a way.

Even saying that intelligence is an ability for pattern recognition but the patterns that you need to recognise to grow more intelligent are ever more complex and obscure. How much compute power is an IQ of a million? Where does it get its energy from? How does it process the complexity in the greatest patterns in a reasonable amount of time and space. What is going on that much faster than we experience time at that is worth perceiving?
