IMHO getting the domain you want is key, don't get a domain that will suffice with the idea you'll get the domain you want later. Because it's always hard to do things later.

I've got many domains I paid $5k+ for sitting in my portfolio unused because I wasn't going to settle on mediocre domain to save a few bucks for a business I expect to make that amount in MRR within a year.

It's very genre dependent. Mary Halvorson, for instance, is a great pick, but jazz is, and likely always will be, about individual musicians. Especially be-bop and bop oriented jazz where virtuosity is highly prized. Even when they form groups, the focus is on the interplay of the individual players. Halvorson is rather interesting as she is considered a great guitarist and a great composer.

The same is often true in rock and metal (especially the more extreme variants). The solo and the riff are very highly prized. Fans will follow individual instrumentalists across bands, and the "selling point" of one band will often be the mixture of the instrumentalists. A recent example is the revamped Gorguts lineup, which is a really a superstar line-up of avantgarde-esque metal musicians. Featured solos are still common. Vocals, when screamed, are often seen more as percussion or rhythmic texture rather than the centerpiece of the music. In metal, instrumental acts are still quite common and popular (obviously relative, pop music still dominates the charts).
You mean those things we already have and already paid for? Yes. Like those.
Theaters are dying because they starved themselves.

Film studios are too consolidated, which motivates them to prefer "safe bets" like the eternal continuation of Marvel IP. We should really have an order of magnitude more variety of film shown in theaters, but only a handful of corporations are equipped to create that content in the first place.

The walls of this prison are made of copyright. It's well past time to tear them down.
No, it's not like that at all. It's like saying the roofer I hired doctored his references, but then proceeded to build a roof that's objectively good enough for me to hire him again to build another roof, on a bigger house for more money.

Cheating to bypass a stupid gatekeeping system that's designed to ration 1 job per N perfectly qualified applicants is only a problem if it's a problem. If you claim that people who didn't cheat during that process are any less likely to do something unethical when hired, I'd say that's a claim in need of proof.

My preferred solution is to come up with a less stupid gatekeeping system. But I only ever hire co-op students, and no one will let me try anything that involves more than a 30-minute chat. Works well enough, but it's a highly non-scientific, non-rational exercise.
Even then, are there no sales possible? I'd think that a borderline fusion reactor would be commercially viable if only for research. You could probably sell a dozen of those around the world. But unless something really weird's going on with the physics, a borderline system is just the mark 1, and everyone expects mark 2 to be more efficient.
I don’t understand how you define privacy - your data is used to sell adverts. Is that not part of the equation?
I never got the 'experience' aspect of going to the movie. Sitting in the dark with a pack of strangers you don't really interact with. Some non-zero percentage of whom are rude/entitled further downgrading the experience. And eating bad snacks. With a product on the screen that fails to impress more often than not. I have friends who absolutely adore the movie theatre and consider it a transformative experience. But it just does not resonate with me; does not generate an 'emotion' other than annoyance.

Good question. I think people are betting that even with dramatically increased consumption (for example all developing countries reaching developed country levels standard of living) we will eventually reach something resembling a steady-state of population and consumption. I think it's a big bet indeed but I think it needs to be made if nothing else than just to reduce the amount of suffering around the world caused by our current system. At worst, assuming fusion succeeds, we stave off the inevitable for a while longer in the hopes something else comes along to balance the equation.
As companies grow, they have to have a promotion process. I've never encountered a company where that promotion process accurately assessed contribution to the business or technical competence. At best, the two are weakly correlated.

So, what happens when a company succeeds is that the competent people eventually either get tenured, or they get forced out by bozos (I'm using this as a term of art. Look up the bozo effect.) Eventually, the bozos win, and the company becomes unable to do anything other than extract monopoly rent. Then, some technology or regulatory shift arrives, and the incumbent gets forced out by a startup, or they somehow shed their bozos for a while.

So, if you are competent and honest, you have three choices:

- Learn how to be productive despite the promotion criteria. This is the path to tears and burn out, because most of your colleagues will only be good at gaming interviews / promotions, and your attention will be split between that and doing your job (and probably their jobs), placing you at a significant disadvantage.

- Somehow become the tenured engineer on top of this mess, and try to create pockets of competence in the organization. Ruthlessly detect + fire the bozos. This isn't fun either.

- Leave for a startup that's targeting a weak and foolish incumbent, and then leave when the startup grows up and becomes the weak and foolish incumbent (a good sign that this is happening is that the founding engineering team is leaving, or that your boss's boss is incompetent.)

Note that the last option is the lowest stress one for technically strong engineers. It is very hard to fake your way through knowing what you are doing when the entire company has direct visibility into your work.

If you can somehow solve the above problem then you can build a company larger than any of the FAANGs.
1. Expectations of what to do in these situations should have been negotiated when Spain agreed to let US fly nuclear armed airplanes in their airspace.

2. The Spanish government is currently renting the land from it's owners. I am very curious about the rent, as this land is currently useless. I don't know the details of Spanish law, but on the face this seems like a good case for eminent domain.

3. At this point, the cleanup process would involve moving dirt that contains trace amounts of radioactive material. This has been done before, but I think this would be both the largest effort and the one in which the dirt traveled the furthest (from Spain to the US, probably to a facility west of the Mississippi River.

4. Once the topsoil is removed, then what? Replace it with top soil harvested from someplace else? Start a project to restore the topsoil with lots of compost? It'll take another sixty years.

EDIT: This type of cleanup is an ideal use case for robotics, and I would love to see what technology they use to perform the cleanup. I imagine several semi-autonomous remote controlled tractor sized machines loading into containment boxes made of nine inch thick steel.
Technically (or at least the way I use it) sendgrid just imitates an SMTP server and does the needful internally.

It's much more promising than the laser approach, IMO.
Go is changing the semantics of its for loops and the user is not a fan of this - at least in the subtleties. Most people, from what I can tell, are very much for this change. And note, Go is introducing quite sophisticated backwards compatibility features to avoid changing semantics for programs that are need the old behaviour.
I agree.

I love live theater the most, and see it frequently. I don't see movies that often. But if all live theater ceased to exist, I doubt that I'd see movies more often. The two things are very, very different and can't substitute for each other.
This shows nothing more than that you are likely to trust data you shouldn't trust. Streaming platforms have a very vague guess of who's watching.
> A strong GUI editor that works with (mostly) zero configuration is a big feature of VB6 to me.

IMO even Delphi 1 had a better GUI form designer. The "Align" property that many controls had, including containers, allowed for visually creating resizable layouts easily since that placed a control to one of the left, right, top and bottom edges of its parent (multiple controls could be stacked) or at the "client" area which basically covered the remaining area. VB had a similar property but IIRC only the picture control supported it (the picture control was also used as a container) and could only place controls to the edges but not the client area. This meant that pretty much any non-trivial UI that needed a resizable window had custom code for the resizing event to handle that instead of being done visually.

Delphi later added a simple "anchor" property to allow custom placed controls to be resized too (the default setting was to anchor to the left and top edge which behaved like before anchors were introduced, but e.g. anchoring a control to the right edge in addition to the left caused the control to be resized horizontally when its parent was resized and anchoring it only on the right caused it instead to move horizontally).

Nowadays Lazarus provides a more advanced anchoring system (e.g. you can have a label control be aligned vertically at the middle of a combo box control and the combo box's left edge to be aligned with the label's right edge with a margin of 5 pixels) which is set up using a visual editor (no code needed) but it also provides the Delphi-like anchors and align properties as well as a bunch of other properties that can be edited visually, like min/max sizes, child control placement, etc all of which make it IMO by far the best WYSIWYG form designer for desktop GUIs (though the anchor editor's own UX could be improved).
You're delusional if you think physicians maliciously over-prescribing in the US is not a problem.

People are tremendously impacted, for good or ill, when prescribed pain medications, ADHD medications, anti-depressants, etc. Many of these people are harmed. Many of the doctors who caused them harm simply do not care.
Reposting a comment from Reddit[1]:

Microsoft has been bleeding talent for the last 5-6 years due to low compensation. It's why the SLT authorized a "correction" in pay last year that saw many people get a significant pay bump. Lots of new college hires have even stated that Microsoft's offer was the lowest offer they received. Levels.fyi tells basically the same story as well if you compare Microsoft to many other tech companies.

One thing to note is that the bonus and stock award budget have been reduced from last year where it was inflated. So, it's back to normal. What is frustrating is that it's also likely "back to normal" for the executives when it should be minimal to non-existent. The pessimist in me says that this is nothing more than juicing the quarterly stats so that Satya and his directs hit their targets for their "normal" bonuses.

Honestly, this is the closest I've seen the company to unionization and I'm willing to bet that efforts are going to start soon. Especially if the Q4/annual results exceed expectations.

I generally like the comments posted here by DoreenMichelle. I would cite the historic cobblestone or quarried Belgian Block pavements in American port cities like Philadelphia and Savannah as examples of locally available materials that were not local materials (many arrived as ballasts unloaded from the hulls of ships that were departing town heavier and more stable than they had arrived) but economic afterthoughts. Is it still a vernacular practice of local knowledge and local conditions that prevail in the built environment, if instead the citizens had simply used them as earthfill rubble to create new land out of wetlands? I would say no; practices that have left a trace only in being cheaper than other methods of earthfill don't meet my criteria for a vernacular practice, although they may have still been performed by some of the same families who would be continuing to pass down that pattern of form in that same tradition.

On the other hand, if forestry and agriculture oriented areas of the USA find their local furniture and textile manufacturing tooling falling out of demand as furniture production goes offshore, is it possible to call it local knowhow if they repurpose those manufacturing plants to produce wood-framed, furnished turnkey mobile home trailers? It is still vernacular practice but at one remove, its nature changed by one layer (at least) of abstraction from a vernacular /tradition/, and its patterns denatured by that change as much as they were denatured by mass financing of managed mass production.
The lack of DWCAS as a primitive in general is really annoying, C++ aside. RISC-V's -A extension has no form of it, either; you only get XLEN-sized AMO + LL/SC (no 2*XLEN LL/SC either!)

It's one of those features that when you want it, you really really really want it, and the substitutions are all pretty bad in comparison.
Standarduser, can you answer my question as to who administers the plans? I'll wait patiently. Maybe that will shine light on my 50 statement for you.

As for your other statements, where's your proof? I offered plenty of proof for my comments.

edit: 1 hour, no answer from Standardtroll. The answer is private companies such as Centene and Humana. The common element in the answer is each State regulates Medicaid and Medicare. Federal Government reimburses States via the issuance of debt. Medicaid is Free or extremely low cost. So for all the Europoors, you can have your cake here too!

> which is out of alignment with coastal elite modernism

Most coastal areas I've been to typically value their historical architecture and maintain those aesthetics.

Really not sure where you're getting that from. If you go to areas in Michigan such as Troy, most of the houses are of a mid-century modern design similar to what you're sharing.

The design language of a McMansion inherently lacks cohesion. Its not an elitist take to say "taking various design elements from 6 different eras of building and inflating them all up to 150% scale" is a bad design.

If a design lacks any kind of symmetry, has windows that dont line up that are all different sizes, misplaced features, etc; its an ugly design. Not sure what else to say.

Midwesterners are not immune to good design practice, and its bizarre to suggest that people outside of the coasts are incapable of making a cohesive design.

Why isn't wireless physical? Perhaps it's not massive :)
A few reasons to consider something for study is either existing empirical evidence or internal consistency of a theory. The reason information conservation and energy/mass/information equivalence are interesting is because there is a possibility for such consistency in a few theories.

Physicists are always looking for equivalences and conserved quantities. They are the basis for modern physics. It's how we discovered that 3 of the 4 known forces were all based on the same equivalent principle. You find a conserved quantity that unifies the two forces.

Possibly one of the greatest feats of this was Maxwell when he unified electrical and magnetic forces by discovering an equivalence between the two that allowed energy to be conserved. This helped us to discover the underlying principles of light itself and describe it as an electromagnetic wave.

Information conservation could prove to unify gravity with the remaining forces. Or not! Or it could break them all apart again. That's just what scientific inquiry is all about.

Yes, it is sometimes a cultural thing.

In some countries, cheating/gaming the system is seen as a noble thing. It is seen as a big "fuck you" to the system / the man / whatever. If you get away with it, it is not you who are wrong - it is simply the system that is too poorly designed.

In other countries, cheating is just too normalized because the stakes are so high, and the competition is too great. I'm just going to throw out India and China - not because everyone there cheats, but because every "edge" you can gain against your competition is fair game. The reward is not only life changing for you, but for your whole family. Maybe even your neighbors.

And it is not to say that they would cheat each other directly, like scamming money off the other guy - but if you're the competition, then the gloves are off.

That is fair, sorry. I'm just saying the boss is in charge at the end of the day. Regardless of any observations or knowledge contradictory to their practices, they ultimately retain all the power.

Productivity (of something...) is ostensibly the intent of a capitalist venture, but the owner and ultimately prioritize anything they prefer. This is a problem for any hope of rational practice.
Yup, that was not clear. It was a typo and I've corrected it to $8K (this was for the domain). Thank you for pointing this out

The broker was $1-1.5K
I agree for the "ip" tool (from iproute2).. I got used to it but I still prefer the ifconfig output. It is somehow consistant and you can get used to it.

I somehow got accustomed to the nftables rules format. It is in fact objectively much better than the iptables format in many ways. The native JSON, easy bulk submit to the kernel, built-in sets and maps (the source of the currently discussed CVE though). It really does fix a lot of what was wrong with iptables.

But iptables was probably not broken enough for most users to warrant re-learning everything.

Now, the traffic shaping tool, oof.. I still cannot grok any of it. I've been happy with the fireqos script so far to abstract everything out of the tc syntax.
Thanks. So, the consequence is that browser vendors and other who utilize CT should ignore this log and use whatever is stood up as its replacement. That makes sense.
jenkins is old and crusty, but it works and works well. if the UI for a build tool looks too fancy, my faith in it drops to 0 almost immediately.
I feel some guilt about this, in that the vast majority of my comments are critical in some way. Mostly because I'm trying to dig deeper into the truth and expand the discussion into a meta-analysis. That style of big-picture thinking often reveals conceptual flaws, which is the point!

Anyway, we have the math and experimental evidence now to show that fusion reactors work, and it's just a scaling problem. Sure, it may cost a billion dollars, but Elon Musk could pay that 100 times over. Not only that, but science has become distracted by expensive projects, to the point that it would pour another billion into a particle accelerator rather than fund 1000 research projects for $1 million each. So the main thing stopping us is that financial barrier between the status quo and scalable progress for everyone. And the power of choice in the hands of the wealthy to deny us the catalyst (money) to overcome that barrier.

I thought that life was a meritocracy until the Dot Bomb, Great Recession and concentration of wealth post-pandemic revealed that a few key players pull all of the strings. The amounts of money we're used to dealing with are largely meaningless. So our life's work at countless dead-end jobs is just a rounding error for the wealthy.

Cynical comments could be seen as the outward projection of the jealousy we feel having to go to a job every day instead of doing meaningful deep work on projects like this. And sure, fusion might deliver 1 cent/kWh electricity. But it only costs 10 cents now. So it will not trigger a material improvement in quality of life like we might expect. Meanwhile a fusion plant might make another billion dollars for its owner, which is a material improvement. This is how injustice works as the primary commodity throughout history, and why seemingly egalitarian tech like fusion could and should be looked at with healthy skepticism. Because the people pursuing it would do more for us by taking on the real challenges like ending subjugation and empowering others (through education, automation, UBI, etc), but for all their wealth, they're fixated on egocentric solutions which may never materialize.
