It can be argued that the benefits of lower oil prices were insignificant next to the benefits of electricity infrastructure which the New Deal brought to the masses. To afford that oil, and to afford that lamp, you still had to labor day and night, even if you were only 12 years old, in such poor working conditions that dying at your job was a serious risk. To enjoy the light from the electricity of the many dams the work project of the New Deal brought, you just had to pay your taxes.

The Laissez-faire capitalism of the gilded age came crashing down in a spectacular depressions, the benefits, which only some could afford, were short lived when suddenly there weren’t any jobs. The New Deal gave people back their jobs so we could again afford the luxuries of past inventions.

You see. I too can spin a narrative where socialism brings all the good stuff and capitalism none.
Does feel like knowledge worker anxiety over losing one’s job/status is manifesting itself in these apocalyptic scenarios.
>”I've been on tons of interviews and have gotten tons of rejection and never once has a company told me its because I didn't fit their demographic or was a white male.”

And you never will because it would be insane for any employer to make an admission that they discriminated against you. For one thing they’d have nothing to gain by telling you that, and, if they did tell it would make for an open and shut discrimination lawsuit.
> The reason people in the US are less traveled is because you essentially have to cross an ocean to go anywhere.

Australians manage to travel more than average despite being an island surrounded by ocean. The need to cross an ocean discourages travel much more in a culture which thinks "two weeks paid time off, don't even think of taking them both at the same time" is an adequate amount of vacation allowance and thinks extended mid/pre-career breaks for international travel are a weird anomaly rather than the norm.
Which matches my comment about the Arabic text. These images are all from different times/release is my guess.
This is cool and whatever, but after the work my company has put in to actively move things away from Vercel I'm going to assume it's hugely overpriced by default compared to even other similar SaaS services.

This is wrong, I worked there at the time and a lot of people were working on the phone project. It got kind of scrapped before it saw the light of day though.
Dammit, how did I fuck that up?
Can we also tackle the general problem, by considering the snooping to be a diplomatic problem of the locale that does it?

A lot of travel is discretionary, such as vacations. Academic and trade conferences can often choose where they're located. Business can often choose where they do business or expand.

A public interest Web site could publish a trustworthy database of incidents and report card grades of different locales, covering more concerns than the US State Dept. does.

Say, ExampleCon 2024 is announced to be in sunny Barlandia, and a bunch of members respond that they don't feel safe attending, because the database says that Barlandia Customs often clones the devices of visitors without apparent justifiable cause, and some alarming specific incidents. Some respond privately; some publicly announce not traveling to Barlandia, and why.

When planning ExampleCon 2025, organizers consider the convention center in Footopia but have learned to check the database, and find that Footopia has a totalitarian attitude towards privacy&security, as well as elevated incidence of harassment of LGBTQ+ and certain ethnic/racial identities. They don't tell the membership that Footopia was considered, but when they announce the choice of Bazland, they also link its favorable status page on the database Web site.

Meanwhile, the Blortcity government is taking note of this, and embarks on a intense campaign to make their status page numbers look great. A side effect -- besides their consequently growing tourism industry, and increasing tax base from new residents -- is that a lot of abusive/hostile behaviors are stopped for everyone living and visiting there.
Aseprite calls itself "source available" now. Their license has a "no redistribute" clause, so if want to use it and can't compile it yourself, you have to buy it.

I spent about an hour trying to compile it on Windows a few months ago, couldn't get it working. Can't remember why, maybe most of that time was installing requirements.

Police being able to walk into anyone's home at will to search it would definetly lead to catching some criminal activity. The issue isn't "would this thing lead to catching some criminals". The issue is abuses, government overreach, and innocent civilians being targeted.

“It is better, so the Fourth Amendment teaches, that the guilty sometimes go free than the citizens be subject to easy arrest.” William Douglas, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. The argument to give up your rights is always initially used to target the worst of the worst. Its always terrorists, spies, child murderers, etc. Of course we shouldn't be slowed down by due process when it is for this child murderer. Yet it is then used against those least likely to be able to defend themselves for easy wins. Russian spies first, then its minor crimes committed by immigrants.
Seems like an awful lot of work when you could just bash it with a sledge hammer.

I guess in this case you avoid concerns about lighting the battery on fire. But that would probably help with the data erasure too :)

I've used .org and .net with success.

So we should eliminate the need for human contact by medicating those people who don't have human contact?

This seems like an expensive and intrusive approach full of side effects when a simpler solution is therapy and life skills coaching.
I think more accurate would be to say it allowed freedom from expression, freedom from religion and freedom from assembly. Unless in the service of the communist party of course.
Do you have data for that or is that just romanticizing the past? Small communities can be nasty places for somebody who doesn't fit in.
Email addons: Enigmail is no longer an add-on for Thunderbird; it's built-in (and has been for years).
it still shocks me that some individuals can afford both the tons of CO2 and the money just for frivolous comfort.

Especially since we are in the day and age of the media and zoom meetings. Traveling is no longer necessary for most business purposes, but is mostly leisure or convenience.

In the meantime, you are blamed for global warming, for driving to the supermarket to get beef. And you have to pay hefty carbon tax on car fuel, while planes and jets are exempt.

And as a society, we can't give a home to everyone, because it would cost money to build back what banks foreclosed and buldozzered 15 years ago.

but what if you have money ?

go ahead, buy a high tech jet that costs hundreds of homes, and spray carbontrails over the poor neibourhoods near the airport, and directly into the ozone layer.

You would be burdened with taxes and carbon allowance if you couldn't afford that.
You’re assuming that anyone in the government cares about what she was surfacing. That’s why whistleblowers go to the press, because the power structures that be don’t care.
I mean, I tell myself not to lock my keys in my car, but it has happened on occasion. Do you think you'd be able to escape your car if locked in? I feel like I may be able to kick my way out or otherwise break a window, but I'm not completely sure of that.
Posting vacation photos to social media when you're actually on vacation is a bad idea. You're signaling to people you're not at your residence or job, which is bad security anyway.

Save all the cute pictures to post when you get home.
>"The Soviet Union's approach to paid time off (PTO) was unique, as it not only provided workers with time off but also determined how they spent it"

Utter bullshit. I was able to travel to every part of USSR (except of course restricted areas and abroad) during my vacation time without any problems. USSR had gobbles of big problems and general lack of freedom but vacations were not part. As a matter of fact I spent more vacation time in more places than the average North American.

Yes if one wanted they could join some semi-/organized form but there was nothing mandatory about it.
Some of their past internet-related cases have been worrisome, but if you listen to the oral arguments on this one they do ask some good questions... albeit that's probably partially due to their recent-law-school-grad clerks helping with prep.

> Some people at risk for the disease have antibodies against this bacteria, and Subdoligranulum activation of T cells was more prevalent in people with RA than in healthy controls.

Very important to qualify (through studies) whether this is the cause of rheumatoid arthritis, or just one of a number of precipitating things. The answer will tell us whether treating/preventing Subdoligranulum is a silver bullet, or whether, like cancer, we have a lot more work to do.

> “It's hard to know how big of a player this specific isolate is,” he said. “It could be the dominant player, and that's why they came across it first. But it could be that if they went back and did larger screens, that they would come up with more — that [Subdoligranulum] would be just one of many.”

> In keeping with this, the researchers only found this Subdoligranulum strain in 16.7 percent of people at risk or with early-stage RA, indicating that this strain is likely not the sole driver of disease.

Regardless, given the results mentioned here, I would bet that "infection" with this strain would exacerbate RA through increased production of antibodies. So it seems a good target to reduce severe RA.
With a little lest context I would default to Power Take off (like on a tractor, or large truck)
Properly operating/securing a web shop and developing a secure embedded device are two pretty different skill sets, and I'm quite impressed with the quality of their security team's research concerning the latter.

Of course they should be doing both, but there's an easy, pragmatic workaround until then: You can just buy their devices on Amazon. (This does somewhat increase the chance of supply chain attacks, but that's always present, and I believe Ledger devices support hardware attestation in addition to tamper protection.)

Characterizing it as 'misunderstanding' is disingenous, we just don't believe it stands up to scrutiny. Any inquiries into the nature of the trinity result in the trinitarian doing one of two things: collapsing into obvious polytheism, or claiming their doctrine is incomprehensible and therefore inscruitable, neither of which are satisfying answers. Many Catholics in particular will in fact fall into what their church considers various heresies in trying to wrap their heads around what they claim to believe.
Like the issues I mention in my post: modifying the data type of a column that is used by a foreign key; otherwise the fact you can't run Online DDL on a table that participates in foreign key relationship ; that INSTANT does not support (yet?) adding/removing foreign key constraints ; that cascaded writes are not written the the binary logs.

These are all things that the casual developer doesn't deal with when designing a schema and writes an app that INSERTs/DELETEs/UPDATEs to tables with foreign keys. But once there's a need for a change; once you wire 3rd party tools onto your database, that's where the operations hit a wall.
I'm just going to cherrypick one point here: the crypto version of escrow services can't steal your funds. The idea is to use 2-of-3 signatures, in some kind of smart contract (even a really basic one that Bitcoin can support). If buyer and seller sign the transaction, the escrow service never sees it. If buyer and seller disagree, then the escrow service decides whether buyer or seller gets the money. The escrow service never holds the money, the contract does that.

"Xbox LIVE Gold" -- AKA online multiplayer on Xbox consoles which most users buy ever since the Xbox 360 -- is $10.

Xbox Game Pass is $10.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate -- which includes both -- is $15. That's the tier that also has cloud gaming.

Not only is it $20 vs $15, I doubt the account system would let you subscribe to both separately instead of Ultimate.

In addition, consider that Ultimate is available anywhere both Game Pass and "Gold" are available, even where cloud gaming is not. I'm subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate in Israel, except cloud gaming is not offered here (and not even as "ping may be higher than optimal", it's not even in the UI unless I VPN).

If someone's counting Ultimate subscriptions as "cloud gaming subscriptions", they would be heavily inflated from "cheaper bundle" users and users from countries where cloud gaming isn't even available.
Clip Studio's text tools are really primitive, yes... And we're aware of the challenges. At least three people in the core team do make comics, too :-) And we want to support vertical text, RTL, ruby and all of that. But in this thread there's a link to a blog post that shows what already has been done, and there's been lots of work done since.
wrong defense used.

making protestors aware of a moving vehicle, would have greater value

"Although Porter’s citation was later dismissed because the deputy did not attend her traffic court hearing , she filed a lawsuit to try to block the state from enforcing the horn honking statute in the future. Porter claimed that the law infringed upon her right to “expressive horn use,” including “honks not only to support candidates or causes but also to greet friends or neighbors, summon children or co-workers, or celebrate weddings or victories.”"

rewind this to:

-i pulled you over because excessive honking.
-i honked because distracted protestors might jaywalk in front of me.
For what little it's worth, the community has created a plugin for Java edition servers called 'Geyser' which allows bedrock clients to join an java edition server.

Fair enough, although it's not as clearly advertised as I'm of the opinion that it should be, either.

Oh I am not praising stalin and lenin, those two belong in hell. Right along with socialism, communism and corporatism.

> the worst that could happen is losing your job, but if you don't obey the government, the worst that could happen is that they kill you

Well if you lose your job, in some countries, it can equal death and misery. Not by the same means as in the soviet union but by having your access to housing and health care revoked.

> like claiming to give its people time for recreation while making a mockery of the concepts of weekends and vacations!

Some software workers may reveal they can barely enjoy weekends or vacations without an email or a slack message bothering them.

Basically corporatism and communism have both hijacked free and independent enterprise.
The article quotes Snopes: "The (FCC) official, who requested anonymity, added that they had not seen any rise in instances of consumer complaints about juice-jacking.” And Krebs doesn't dispute this.
I recommended Krita to my wife for digital drawing, and Krita stands ahead in the realm of "open source software that is usable by non-maintainers".

Maintainers used loosely as people who participate in the community, filing bug reports and providing forum support.

If you look at something like FreeCAD, equally powerful but not nearly as user friendly, you need to want to use FreeCAD specifically.

With Krita, you just need to want to paint. Its incredibly user friendly for someone with zero experience.
I'm sorry, but courts have lost most of their credibility in recent years. There was an HN thread recently[1] about a person arrested and extradited from one state to another without what appears to be any oversight. Pretending the courts are magic isn't actually very helpful here. If any single person in power wanted this information, they could have it. If any single person not in power wanted this information, they would have to work really hard to get it.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm not an American, so when I read that he was working for CIA and had been on missions in Russia (nearly got killed) without any context, and I assumed the worst.

This completely changes the meaning and makes more sense
>>I don’t see a reason that we couldn’t pass a law tomorrow that does this.

Why do we need for a law to be passed? There are so many people seemingly in favor of this, why don't they just band together and start a company and then pay people to take 6 month vacations?
You are exactly right. They seek to maximize profits. Profits can only exist within a coherent system of prices.

How can a central planner effectively determine prices across an entire economy? Price fixing has historically been disastrous, from Diocletian to the USSR. This is literally the definition of the calculation problem.

Contrast this to politicians and bureaucrats who may have additional political incentives towards kickbacks, corruption or other, non-market inefficient practices.
Why are they low risk? There is a significantly higher chance of meta defaulting than us govt on a 40 year horizon.

Also wouldn't higher interest rates be beneficial for Meta (and worse for lenders) because Meta will be able to lock in the comparatively lower interest rates now for the next 40 years?
It is no longer the 17th century. When decaying abandoned properties in Detroit are still covered in a mostly even expanse of grass, I conclude that the signalling value of lawns has died.
Whether a centrally planned economy can work or not may be an interesting question, but it is irrelevant to whether Socialism works or not (or even whether it is right or moral or not). Socialism does not require a centrally planned economy. It doesn't even require a centralised state. Socialism is about how workers organise their workplace (owning, managing and sharing the produce and profit of their labour).

Having said that several avowed socialist states have attempted to centrally plan the economy, and their success or failure is a matter of highly disputed opinion - depending on what their aims, achievements, and outside opposition (and possible sabotage) were.

Some Socialists say it is possible: See "Towards a New Socialism" (1993). Some say that Capitalist corporation like Amazon or Walmart are already effectively achieving this ("The People's Republic of Walmart" (2019)

Others suggest models such as "negotiated coordination", "participatory economics", or "market socialism" will be able to accurately account for need, volume, value etc. But there are incredibly powerful interests that oppose any alternatives, and most of us are stuck playing their game by their rules.
I think Euro-socialism is what most of those kids want, whether they are aware of putting it in those terms or not. The culture wars seem to dictate that there are huge contingents of tankies among the youth, but that doesn't really seem to be the case on the ground (i.e. not on Twitter).

The DSA, the biggest, by far, left-org in the US appears, at least to me, to be pushing a platform indistinguishable from a Euro model.
They never called them bigots. They're saying that the Church funds anti-lgbtq legislation and implying the Church is not completely harmless.

It's weird of you to accuse them so confidently when you misunderstood.

Would Better Call Saul be a better story in VR?

One of the things that makes shows and movies good is tight editing and focus; a VR system where I can look around is the antithesis of that.

Same way I feel about open world games like GTA V vs. something like Bioshock which is highly linear but also highly directed.

But FWIW I'm totally with you about the airplane headset, never have I wanted to be somewhere else then when I'm on a plane...
