IIRC the last time the Brits tried to get rid of their monarch it didn't end well and the people decided the monarchy was better than that chaos.

QE II wasn't a bad monarch, and that was probably a big factor in the UK keeping its monarchy during the 20th century where democracy was the big trend.

One solution to his problem with the Wikipedia being hard to learn from is to use the criminally under-known Simple Wikipedia (https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page). Just replace 'en' in a wikipedia URL with 'simple' and hopefully there will be a nice and simple version of the page. I don't see it advertised very often but I think it should be.

That's interesting because I consider Reddit to be one of the great victories of the Internet.
It's more complex than that. There factors other than drag. Planes wouldn't be more efficient if they simply used roads at 60mph all the way to the destination (no takeoff)! Fuel is expensive so they do a lot of work to figure out the optimal speed.
Write a simple USB driver for interacting with some arduino widget. I'm talking actual USB not serial emulation. For instance, when you plug in some microcontroller/arduino with a small LCD screen you can `echo Hello World > /dev/my_lcd_screen` and it will appear.
I didnt try stadia, but I did try a PlayStation Now trial some time ago. I only played single player games, but some were first person shooters where you’d expect lag to matter. My experience was also very good and I didn’t have any issues with lag. I kept forgetting that I was streaming.

But I have gigabit internet (and before I got that, had 300 Mb/s) and played with a wired connection, so that’s likely a contributor to my positive experience.
Hard disagree, the federal government already has too much power. Giving them that sort of access and direct control over personal financial assets would be widely abused.

The government and those who work for them are not your friends. The power you give them can and will be abused and will never be returned to the people without great difficulty and probably bloodshed.
The names tasks are already automated without AI.

Absolutely. I assume he would too. I don't have an opinion about what you wrote, but I make a habit of reading all of Berlin's comments, and it seemed like you two were just communicating at cross purposes. I'm not judging or anything.
I was on Cannabis Talk 101 recently to talk about this issue specifically: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwOmtBo8sBU

It is not hyperbolic to say that in many states, the cannabis industry is drowning. Far too much regulation, far too many taxes, and no access to capital yields an environment for cannabis SMBs that is effectively impossible to thrive in. The largest multi-state operators are the only businesses that are positioned to survive this downturn.

Contrast this with federal agricultural policy for the past 100 years, in which entire agencies are dedicated to ensuring the health of American agriculture through loans, subsidies, and economic policy. Even though cannabis is the 6th largest cash crop in the US - roughly the same size as cotton, and larger than rice or potatoes, it is being actively crushed underfoot.

Federal legalization is not close, and SAFE banking is not close. The industry as a whole is sliding into an enduring period of stagnation, and legislators are far too slow to act. For people who have been closely following the industry, all of this is completely unsurprising.
Very interesting, more like a theoretical law question. As the judge cited first amendment rights, to my knowledge, broadly speaking that only applies to American citizens. I wonder if the judge was actually made aware of the identity of the commenters in question or at least their citizenship?
I think this is a tempting solution but a bad idea in the long run. Just like how employer provided medical insurance sounds good on the surface, but it gave employers an incentive to lobby against socialized medicine, which reduces worker mobility and hurts the economy.

> If dark matter means writing PHP+HTML+JS+SQL in large files and calling that getting things done, I rather not learn about dark matter.

Dark matter code can be clean or spaghetti. New shiny code can be clean or spaghetti. Implying that there is a causal relation between dark matter and spaghetti is disingenuous I would say.

Of course, code written for the new shiny framework from two weeks ago is at most two weeks old and thus hasn't had time to accumulate cruft. But that doesn't say anything about the quality of the developers.

I would say if code is really old and still receives new features, the developers must have been doing something right! Take (GNU) Emacs as an example, it's from 1985 or so I think, and now speaks LSP.
It is true that opt-in has bad UX. You can't easily "never send to spam".

OK thanks for the life lesson. I think what you're doing is completely meaningless too.

This isn't proactive; the article listed several ways in which GitHub is now a problem.
"There's a number of places out there, some of which also support ..."

Remember, also, that 'git' is built into the rsync.net environment and allows you to manipulate these providers without involving your local connection or machine.

For instance, when I want to mirror a repo I consider interesting or important:

ssh user@rsync.net "git clone git://github.com/freebsd/freebsd.git freebsd"

Remember, also, the existence of "git annex":

https://git-annex.branchable.com/

... which solves some interesting problems.

"git-annex is designed for git users who love the command line. For everyone else, the git-annex assistant turns git-annex into an easy to use folder synchroniser."
Whatever it is called, I like it. I would love to stop seeing “click here” hyperlinks
It's more that the general pace of innovation has sped up. Three years ago something like ChatGPT would have similarly been dismissed as science fiction. So we probably shouldn't dismiss the possibility that we will have something far better than LLMs in another three years.
Addiction to anything is harmful. I don't make the leap that everything should be banned.
Protecting American's, American businesses', and the American government's security is in the interest of the NSA.

Another idea: eliminate business travel to attend meetings now that we have amazing remote presence tools.
Starkly reminiscent of blockchain. Many "blockchain problems" were really just software problems. Coincidentally, IBM also went all-in on blockchain before quietly abandoning it sometime last year.

IBM seems to be run by very gullible people.
Are you living in the universe that had EDF with 0 debt until the greens prevented investments in nuclear (constructions & maintenance) to push for alternatives power sources (gas & wind/solar; mainly) which pushed a once world leader to a 50B hole; increased France CO2 emission; pushed energy cost up; and lead the talents and knowledge that French had developed to get lost making it difficult & expensive to go back to their former glory.

If so, we are living in the same one.
Or there is a new term that subsumes them both: the "regime." And with this small substitution, and a slight modification to the source material we see that the "absorption" may already be complete.
I think you'd have to be sending and receiving to stay connected to the towers at all. I haven't tried it, but if it's true that you can still call 911 while in airplane mode then you're certainly sending and receiving. What we need is a "No really, all radios off" switch, preferably a hardware switch, but if we had one maybe people would opt of being tracked all the time.
The difference is the speed and the amount if knowledge transfer.

> it's interesting to compare to his wealth tax proposal from a few years ago, which went up to an 8% tax on wealth above $10B

I have less of a problem with a 100% (or very high) income tax for income over $1B because it's at least still an income tax. If a wealth tax is enacted, it may start at $10B but you can be sure it will be gradually lowered until it is not just affecting billionaires.

I agree with the other comment though about giving it to the US government. Don't like that idea at all. I'd rather divide it up so each citizen gets a cut, equally. The government wastes so much money that giving them more is never a good idea IMO.
I own a Pilot birdie which is extremely small but beautiful fountain pen. It resembles a tiny stainless steel rod. It was part of the "Birdie" collection which came also with a ball pen and mechanical pencil. Unfortunately as all good things they don't seem to manufacture them anymore. I started using it some time ago because I'm tired to buy plastic pens, also the its stroke is much better than anything else I've used so far. Fountain pens are a world.
Companies banning the use of ChatGPT level tools going forward will find the rules either flouted, subverted or the employees going elsewhere.

Of course there is a duty on employees to be professional - the latter will be the ones taking up opportunities at non-legacy/dinosaur corporations that think they can command the waves.

The answer is to sort your processes, security and training out - new AI is here to stay, and managers cannot stop employees using game-changing tools without looking very foolish and incompetent.
Apps can circumvent these ”firewalls” quite easily via IPC/Intents.

For example, if you block facebook with a firewall, it can still send an intent to the download manager to make network connections.

My state (Oregon) has no sales tax, but does have a 20% tax on recreational cannabis, so in our case the cannabis tax revenue would be a net gain for the state.
"Everyone" is exaggeration at best.
Spice contains novel cannabanoids (and probably residual chemicals) so it is a different beast altogether.

Cannabis concentrates, e.g. dabs, rosin, BHO are stronger versions of cannabis.
I've seen fine tuning attempts on internal documents - it's terrible (eg. mixing up stuff between locations/teams, making shit up)

They are now trying to build a search index and feeding it in-context results.

Honestly not seeing much value over a search index, but hey if it makes the internal data easily searchable under the banner of AI hype it's a win.
In the same way beer and wine is less obviously harmful than wood alcohol, sure.
You'll never be able to afford a house or kids. The rich are getting richer at your expense. Earth's climate is on it's last legs. But at least you'll get to smoke weed and waste away in your 1bdr rental, apathetic to your meaningless and sad life.

Seems like a great deal for the younger generation.
Rethinking “Managed Retreat” phraseology in response to climate change (2022)
I think this is just a continuation of a trend that has been going on for a long time. The money people (banks, private equity, VC) will play an ever larger role in the economy and industry mainly exists to serve the money people.
Anecdotally speaking I definitely feel an effect by combining multiple minor cannabinoids. It’s not necessarily more potent per se but you get the benefit of having multiple effects and areas of effect (feeling a full head buzz, forehead only buzz, chest buzz, etc) at once.

I think what people should be more concerned about is the race to find the most potent cannabinoids possible. AFAIK THCp and HHCp hold the crown currently and they’re ~20-30 times more potent than THC (exact experienced potency is different for everyone).
While you can buy it straight from a lab or bulk marketplace most products that hit store shelves only contain 2.5-5% because manufacturers are concerned about negative publicity and triggering panic attacks.
Whisky can be incredible harmful and it's just a stronger version of wine... difference is the label clearly states the percentage alcohol
I have a Montblanc I got in the 80s. Still a pleasure to use. Great investment.

For those seeking something more affordable, the Kaweco Sport is a great pen, great price, well worth the money, and a real pleasure. Ink cartridges are cheap, too.
I don't have a stake in this, but just out of curiosity (and sake of argument), why don't you make a rock your King then?

It's possible (but admittedly difficult) to construct a mythology where you make a rock the national identity, and celebrate the rock on special occasions. It lasts for thousands of years, you don't run into problems of succession, and it never betrays anyone, much less express political opinions.

So, why don't you make a rock your King? It seems to fit all your arguments about why a human king is good, and the rock does the job better.

PS: apparently in the US the equivalent is a piece of paper called the constitution. The president, despite what monarchists think, is generally disposable and often just for lols.
What about photoshop and .ps files

Perhaps we should add "for unregistered file types" there but if I am installing a software, I am probably wanting it to associate themselves for relevant files and I wouldn't want to go through settings to find all relevant files

The proper ux is peovably a "this application wants to open these file types" system pop up
I've always heard that MDMA refers to pure MDMA, while E refers to MDMA that has been cut with something. Must be a colloquial thing.
In my experience, you are correct. The incel movement (and others like it) is a targeted attempt to enflame naive and susceptible target(s) to a polarized view of the world.

This is beneficial to the manipulators for various reasons, be they financial or political.
Reportedly, the German government scaled down its original legalization plans as they would be in violation of current EU law. Private is in the scope of member state legislation, but virtually everything related to trade is subject to EU regulations, and they currently demand dealing with cannabis to be criminal. (Not a lawyer, that's how I understood the news.) Germany's current plans could be a first step before pushing for a change of EU law. That may not be trivial though, as some other member state governments appear to be opposed to the idea.
> MS is looking out for its users

Yes, installing Candy Crush and a version of solitaire filled with IAP or filling the start menu with MSN news cruft is really looking out for its users. The only entities that Microsoft gives half a shit about is their shareholders.
This was actually what I was thinking, but sort of the other way around. We already have an age limit drinking, narcotics are more or less banned.

I don't know how the US handles this, but online gambling is a pretty good model for this. You need to be of a certain age, verified with a government ID (here in Denmark at least) and if you have a gambling problem, you can add yourself to a list the ensures that you're blocked on all gambling sites (and casinos).
Not quite.

The more important thing is to plant a core idea in someones brain. If someone thinks that liberals are all degenerate scum that want to degrade society, no amount of anti republican propaganda is going to convince them otherwise.

Is it? Is this a States thing? That in the United States that nudity and pornography is "dangerous", yet in other cultures throughout Europe, it's not taken as seriously, nor does it have this overall "dangerous" tag to it (generally speaking that is. Prudish people trying to impose their will on others can be a world-wide phenomenon).

And does this put a curb on explicit R rated movies that has nudity and acts of sex? Is it just the penetration shots that are "dangerous"? Also, it doesn't even touch on if ultra violent content strewn around, well, EVERYWHERE isn't "dangerous"? Where is the state bans on violence in movies and TV (they've already tried with video games)? But OMFG, if you dare to show a woman's breast, it's "dangerous".

Give me a break.

China and Rome for sure. But Turkey is a terrible example of your point. Byzantium (or the Roman empire as they called themselves) was absolutely conquered and replaced by foreigners.

I collect fountain pens (and other types of pens) and paper/stationary. I have been writing extensively by hand for many many years. While it is not my overall favorite, I think it's important for folks to know that from a writing quality and feel perspective that modern low-cost pens are actually /very/ good, and are the way to go. The Platinum Preppy is every bit as good as the majority of classic fountain pens, and better than many, very few are better, and you can buy it for under $20 basically anywhere.

The most important thing for writing with a fountain pen and having a good experience is actually the INK, not the pen, because the ink determines the flow, forgiveness, and the time to dry (which prevents smudging). Additionally, paper has a huge influence. I'd recommend investing in good quality paper with cotton in their mix. If you don't want to spend a lot but get good quality mass-produced stationary, G. Lalo and Clairefontaine are both good brands to buy.
Missouri just went full legal. I went to a cannabis b2b trade show a few weeks ago and chatted with a vendor from Michigan. He indicated it's been his experience that the first few months recreational sales go gangbusters and then the novelty wears off and sales decline, while at the same time cultivation ticks up and prices fall.

The recreational sales in Missouri is being described as booming.

yes and it does use the TPM and is affected by this attack ;=)

at least the recent ubuntu versions when using the default full disk encryption setup do setup decryption using TPM you still need an additional password as without you would e.g. lose access to your data if you change some hardware, you motherboard brakes or depending on how they set it up you also need the password after kernel upgrades etc.

but the vulnerability allow someone with hardware access to access all your data by booting their code but messing with the TPM in a way where it still measures as if it's was booting your code
Worse, it's high trust in certain contexts and low critical thinking overall. Here are comments recently told to me in personal conversation:

The U.S. doesn't produce oil any more.

The U.S. spends $1.232 trillion dollars a month on the war in the Ukraine.

The U.S. has open borders.

Californian politicians want to abolish the police.

The BLM movement killed thousands and thousands of people.

Southern California cities are already below sea level.

The New York Times is owned by Mexico.

There are no police in California and you can commit pedophilia without punishment.

5Million migrants from Honduras are marching towards our border.

The Governor of Virginia want to legalize infanticide.

The luxury tax applies to tampons: "The same rate as a yacht, you mean?", Yes.

The only thing kids learn about George Washington in schools is that he was a slave owner.

The last one was something not heard in conversation but said by Elon Musk in an interview with Bill Maher.

Whenever I hear someone say the above I usually respond "I don't know much about that story, but that sounds like total bullshit". What I don't understand is how people claim low trust in the media but believe anything a culture-war shit-kicker says on Twitter.
In high school (as a bad kid) we used to get all sorts of different "ecstasy" pills with nicknames like "blue ladies" or "bugs bunnies" or whatever. You never quite knew what it was going to be like, or whether even the blue lady you had this time was even the same as the one you had last time. Looking back, the spectrum of effects we would get were definitely due to whether they were cut with uppers or downers. It ranged from more typical emotional experiences you attribute to ecstasy (cocaine/meth), to more "body high" ones which were probably opiates of some sort.

Am very happy to hear this kind of thing is more rare. Not that street users have too much more assurance either way the MDMA they are getting is in fact MDMA, but hopefully thar whatever analogues there are now are a little better than meth or heroin.

You say “support” like the moment they stop it, OS cease to work. OSX Leopard is usable for most of tasks. Lot of people still running Windows 7 and Windows XP without any need for “support”. Windows 10 will be even better without constant “support” reboots. Can’t say this for Windows 11, as it so tightly stuffed with spyware and online integrations, it might just not boot if MS plug some server switch.
