> But its been 150 years and none of that is true, we're still getting better at doing things, and human appetite for consumption hasn't really slowed down.

Citation needed.

There have been several innovations since Marx's days, creating new products and services. And the population kept growing and growing.

We're almost 8 billion people now. That by itself increases demand and opens new market (of course, improvements in logistics, shipping and communications are also what allows for actually opening new markets in countries previously underserved).

"Software is eating the world", was true enough.

But all services have been digitalized (not only private, but also the public administration), so I think that Software already ate the whole world.

In a few decades, the population will also stop growing, and that will inevitably cause problems to those who have to try to find new markets to grow their production.

So, the tendency of rate of profit to fall does not prevent the rise of companies like Google and Netflix. But even they have stopped growing as much as they did before, because they expanded to half of the world already, and now to increase profits they have to (for example): substantially increase advertisement in YouTube and crack down on password sharing for Netflix.

Another component in their fight for profits, is reducing labor costs: we just started to see that happen with generalized layoffs in the tech sector (of course, that was just a small blips, there's a lot more to come in the next few decades).

"Solve very real problems" is noble and a nice thought... But not all problems can be solved in a way that generates profits. The ceiling is not something that we will hit suddenly with a shock. The gradual trickle of innovations will continue

And that is the wrong question to ask. It is not a binary option. It's not even a scale. It is dependent on the circumstances of the moment. Right now, who is the one invading another country?
Yes. An art piece, perhaps. I personally love it.
I use this setup [1] on my servers. IPs are mapped to countries using Maxmind's GeoLite2 database. Linux's Tcp Wrappers are configured to block access for all IPs that aren't in my country.

A custom fail2ban jail adds all IPs that get blocked by the Tcp Wrappers to the system's firewall.

"Anomalous" in this context only means that there are variances between the 2022 and previous elections. It does not mean that there has been fraud.

I don't understand this argument. How is youtube censoring a consequence? Why would someone think youtube should be responsible for handing out consequences anyway?

And why wouldn’t there be consequences? I do think most people agree that various forms of bad faith speech should be discourage have consequences
It is interesting to see the comment from the person in Britain with unlimited PTO. I've never heard of this in the EU/UK before.

They would need to use at least the legal minimum, which in Britain is unchanged from the EU minimum of 20 days.

(I once had a colleague who received a letter from HR reminding him of this requirement, recommending he take all 30 days leave at his preferred time, rather than doing nothing and being required to take the last 20 working days of the year off.)
My coarse take on the story:

Borges imagines that a modern writer rewrites Don Quixote by "immersing himself so thoroughly in the work as to be able to actually re-create it, line for line, in the original 17th-century Spanish".

Based on this conceit Borges then reviews both versions (which remember are identical) and finds the modern version superior.

It's an extended joke and/or thought experiment which is meant to investigate ideas around the extent to which the merit of a work is contained within the work itself vs our knowledge of the conditions in which it was created (especially our knowledge of the intent and situation of the author).

It goes to the heart of a lot of debates around artistic value and the approach to literary criticism.

It's very short and quite funny in a dry, academic way. In general I tend to read Borges as somewhere in between a very concise, elegant philosopher and a stand-up comic.

If the alternative is you're causing problems for the public like creating unsanitary and unsafe conditions, then yes. If you don't do those things like the invisible homeless, then no of course not. Which isn't to say there shouldn't be help for those homeless people getting back to having a home, but that's a different matter. If you really prefer being a vagrant, don't trash or block public places and nobody will care.
This is fine, though. "Security through obscurity is not security" but moving your SSH port to something not 22 will utterly eliminate brute force attacks.

Not sure how it would work in the UK, but you can do it in a country like Denmark, but you'd need to split the time in two. You're legally required to provide 25 days, and for that to make sense financially, the company needs to keep track of the first 25 days as these are "earned" at a rate of 2,3 per month (something like that). Beyond the 25 days, you can grants as many "ferie-fri" (vacation/time-off)-days as you like. Technically the company can tell you when to use those, normally between Christmas and New Years, but they can waive that right and let employees decide for themselves. If you don't use your time, you can lose it, after a 1.5 years for the first 25 and a year for the rest.

So I don't think it would be an issue in the UK either, but the company needs to do the accounting right.

One thing that cleared up some confusion for me: The tattoo photo shows a version 2 QR code (as he writes) but the schematic images are for a version 1 code[1].

That's also why the bottom right alignment pattern is missing in the schematics. He didn't forget it, it's just not there in a v1 code.

Rotating only splits the data up into N files, not make it consume less space for a week of logs.
The last line of your comment appears hypocritical.
I'm not sure where you live, but 25 to 30 days seem to be the ballpark for a healthy life.

Here in Germany the minimal number of vacation days that have to be granted (by law) is 20 days, but it's rare to have that few days in knowledge worker positions.

Unless you're the CTO you should not really worry too much about a vacation replacement, isn't this your bosses responsibility?

Btw don't burn out by not taking vacation. Life is short. You will regret this when you get older.
The US didn't want a war with Japan, but also didn't want Japan to control the entire Pacific.

The US blockaded oil deliveries to Japan in response to their invasion of Manchuria, and was willing to remove the blockade if Japan withdrew.

I'm not sure you could say the US "wanted" war any more than you could say Ukraine "wanted" war with Russia.

Private companies managed to build railways just fine, until the govt in its infinite wisdom (with which I totally agree by the way, but most people in the pro-govt camp, who want more rail now, don't) decided to undercut them with a massive tax-funded highway system.

And roads (or defense) are about as an extreme example as it gets due to the complexity of acquiring a very long, very narrow plot of land. So, it's possible a govt might be a bit better than market at providing roads, although I'm not 100% convinced. For most things, govt is just an inefficient, thieving monopoly.

In Australia we do paper ballots, no voter ID, you just say your name and it's crossed off a list. Afterwards, if the same name was crossed off two lists, the amount of double votes are counted and if it is enough to change the result then the result of that electorate is invalidated. This has not ever happened.

"50 Nations voted against it this year"

If you support with money and weapons a country which renamed dozens of streets to glorify Nazi collaborators, why would you vote for the resolution condemning rehabilitation of Nazism?

There are almost 20 streets named after Bandera, the leader of OUN-B, in the Ukraine [0], including a big one in the center of the Ukraine's capital. Ukraine's ambassador to Germany compared him to Robin Hood [1].

Here is what two countries that now support Ukraine used to say before the war[2][3].

"Last week, Israel’s ambassador to Ukraine, Joel Lion, and his Polish counterpart Bartosz Cichocki wrote officials an open letter condemning the government-sponsored honoring of Stepan Bandera and Andryi Melnyk, two collaborators with the Third Reich.

The two have written on the subject before. In 2018, Lion wrote that he was shocked at an earlier act of veneration for Bandera, saying: “I cannot understand how the glorification of those directly involved in horrible anti-Semitic crimes helps fight anti-Semitism and xenophobia.”

...

Ukraine’s ambassador to Israel has told Jerusalem to butt out of the debate about honoring of Nazi collaborators."

"Israel and Poland, which have clashed repeatedly in recent years over differing interpretations of the history of the Second World War, came together on Thursday to issue a rare joint condemnation of Ukraine over its efforts to rehabilitate nationalists who collaborated with the Nazis.

The criticism came one day after Ukrainians marked the 111th birthday of Stepan Bandera, the wartime leader of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), a violently anti-Semitic organization that collaborated with the Nazis. Among Holocaust historians, the consensus is that the OUN and its military offshoot, known as the UPA, were responsible for the deaths of thousands of Jews and up to 100,000 Poles during the war (estimates vary)."

But do they do this at different angles? If so, which? How do they deal with (possibly partially) obscured alignment markers? How do they determine the angle and size of squares? How does one sample each square (center point, average of square, min, max...)? Should I convert my image to grayscale first? If so... which of the RGB-to-grayscale methods should I use for best results? Should I pre-process the picture to enhance sharpness and reduce focus artifacts? Should I bruteforce each frame of the video stream in look for the alignment markers? Etc. etc.

I think I have the general idea on how all that works, but... isn't there an official spec/algorithm on how one is supposed to do this? The devil is in the details.
Oh, and there was actually a 2D Tomb Raider game for the GBC which really used the same grid game mechanics as Prince of Persia.

Another fun fact: There was an Indiana Jones game for the N64, which was heavily inspired by Tomb Raider. Which was heavily inspired by the Indy movies.
Agree with easier, disagree with pleasant.

First time I read the whole book, it was an annotated edition with lots of footnotes, explaining all the differences. I was hating the experience. Solution? I stopped reading the footnotes.

After some time, I got much more engaged in the story and got the occasional arcaism right from the context.

The "bad translation" must have been Borges identifying old Spanish as a broken, not idiomatic modern Spanish.
I assume you mean the losing party. As a longtime watcher of US politics I don't recall a situation where it's been this extreme. Even in 2000 where the complaints were about the electoral college system as opposed to outright fraud.
And is the government itself some platonic entity? This comment is deeply ironic - we are afraid of the concentration of power in the hands of some rich people, so we are going to give more power to the most massive and heavily armed entity in human history, barely accountable (beyond extremes) given that most actual ruling is done by bureaucracy and even the "choice" between parties is not very meaningful, and increasingly controlled by one man via executive action.

Being able to hire craftspeople who can do things “the old way” is apparently very important when dealing with (the bureaucracy around) old buildings. A lot of these buildings were built, rebuilt and expanded over centuries so they have different construction techniques between different areas which also needs specialized knowledge.

That actually does not justify increased role of govt at all. Redistribution is nearly orthogonal to that... tax the rich, give money to the poor, fine. Just make sure to fire all the bureaucrats beyond what's necessary to maintain the simple transfer first.
> Carrying ballots into a secret room with no witness where they tell us “the machine” counts correctly

Quit spreading lies. US law allows all vote tallying to be inspected by a limited number of observers, including at least one from each candidate/party on the ballot.

Elections in the US are run by each of the 3300+ counties, many of which use pure paper ballots and tallying, still. The more populated counties have a much larger logistics challenge, so they tend to be the ones that use tallying machines. But they don’t trust those machines anymore than you do - so they also do audits using random sampling to verify that the tallying machines exactly match hand-tallying results.

Digital Microeconomics and Business Strategy
Disclaimer from author : This is my first post here ! I couldn't post the part of the Whitepaper most relevant I hoped for the ambitious. I wrote it before becoming an indie hacker over 3 years ago, I had no experience in neither software nor energy. Our fledgling solar software startup is now a 5-figure MRR business and soon (finally) launching a brand.

---

The Whitepaper focuses on Digital Microeconomics and Business Strategy, and is inspired by James Clear's quote : « Without a great strategy, hard work becomes a nightmare. »

Find the complete whitepaper on Medium here :

https://solaire-georges.medium.com/whitepaper-digital-busine...

It explores the following :
- Success for software start-ups
- The pricing mechanism for marketplaces
- Learning with statistical rigour
- MVP that does not fail
- Data-driven decision-making culture
- Sustaining value creation over time
- Customer is always right
- + Footnotes

Hope you find these insights helpful in your journey !
The Nuremberg Charter effectively admits this:

> The Tribunal shall not be bound by technical rules of evidence. It shall adopt and apply to the greatest possible extent expeditious and nontechnical procedure, and shall admit any evidence which it deems to be of probative value.

You can't have a fair trial when the prosecution gets to admit whatever evidence it wants, including evidence that would normally be inadmissable (eg. Hearsay, admissions made through coercion or torture, etc). The tribunal was effectively a show trial, and in my opinion they should have just dispensed with the theater and carried out the predetermined punishments.

It still happens. You need storage a TB or two with unlimited (or at least very high) traffic? That's not an issue. Even I could help being a mirror from home. But I wouldn't be surprised if there would be some free tiers already from cloud provider.

Half PB is a bit more than that, and I guess it is expected to grow... in 2023 it is not realistic to throw such storage around for free (+mirrors). It will be realistic in a few years considering that the storage prices have been in free fall for the past 30 years, but that time hasn't came yet.

(As a maybe interesting comparison, Debian's mirror is around half TB: https://people.debian.org/~koster/www/mirror/size )

They know it will be their preferred party (as indicated by employee, corporate, and in-kind donations) making those claims next cycle, just as happened after their chosen candidate lost in 2016.

You can also lose your password. Or forget it if you know it by heart.
But in any case you can use a password instead of a key - it just needs to be good enough (= long and not in cracking dictionaries)
I also saw this. So one would then simply leave this part out on the way down? Is the alignment pattern always on the same location? I guess so.
