Warhammer is a historic gaming institution which has had ripple effects throughout so many places: Starcraft having the Zerg based on Tyranniads, the lore text and novels leading to "grimdark" sci-fi as a genre, even other games like Gears of War have a lot of inspirations from this.

With all that said it is very amusing to see the British govt create a series of stamps that commemorate a game setting that could be summed up as "religious facism with roman empire themes".

Ah that is the latest I have available on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS.
I still have my 1979 set (with 1980 Year Book!) - I traded in a 1952 set I inherited from a (much older) cousin. Funnily enough, a lot of the articles were the same (quite a few of the experiments, in particular) and of course the articles about pre-Eisenhower presidents.

It's great for stabilizing my freestanding Ikea bookshelf, though.
Mine seems pretty accurate, but it seems to be counting from when my train departs, not when I get to the station.

Also it's not clear if it's counting waiting time when transferring, which would make a big difference.

Negotiating voltage after being connected avoids the problem of sparking while the connector is being plugged in, but I don't think it helps with avoiding sparking in the process of unplugging the connector? Unless one of the leads is shorter so that is disconnects first and the circuitry can detect that and turn off the power super fast?
But it will set a mighty example for others
What is funny is there seems to feeling of urgency to get data from Reddit even though it's basically the users who are making subreddits private. The protest really does seem to me like a "cut my nose off to spite my face" protest.

Realistically, there are ways to protest that increase costs. Everyone uploading 20minute videos of their wall for example. That would increase costs but not really affect how user's use the site. People want to hit their pockets yet all they can think of "If we don't use it, that'll hurt them" when if it really hurt them they wouldn't allow it. They own and control the site, they can make it impossible to make subreddits private with probably a few minutes of code - just make the process error out for a few days and then remove the error at the start of the request.
Assuming those numbers are realized it would mean bankruptcy, essentially, and questions like this are pretty standard and well-thought-about there. IANAL but I think this is why Chapter 11 bankruptcy exists (where you keep the company going because that's valuable) vs Chapter 7 (where you liquidate it). I think the Purdue bankruptcy is similar where the company is somewhat being handed over to the people that were harmed, because that's more valuable to them than selling the company piecemeal and then distributing the proceeds.
Reddit's API is changing (and getting worse) at the end of the month. They haven't exactly said what is changing, but they've mentioned that:

- there will be stricter limits

- NSFW content won't be served through the API

So depending on how you use Reddit, this sort of export may not be possible in the same way after the cutoff.
Is there something wrong with any other industry’s company failing and the founder deciding to take a sabbatical? Or is it just when it’s a crypto company, this raises an eye? I worked for a datacenter where my paychecks were bouncing but the CEO of the company was in Saint Martin during the collapse of his own company.
America can win any war but lose the peace. The appetite for nation building has evaporated in the US.
Iraq and Afghanistan stripped the hubris.
If no government has arrested them, and they are abiding by the laws, then they are guilty of making a bunch of levered bets that collapsed. I guess it's annoying that they aren't in financial pain but the same story has been told endlessly in the traditional financial system. They had some good years then the hedge fund collapsed.
Or, in software engineering terms, it's impossible to optimize code that you can't profile.

Hey, at least you're open about your entitlement!
This is very cool, for sure. But what I'm looking for is something that is super optimized for threaded conversations, like this site. Imagine if each poster were a unique voice, and the format was basically listening to all of the top conversations for a given post, in a way that makes it easy to follow the conversation and back-and-forth from the threads. There would clearly need to be a little bit of design applied and some simplification, but I think that's where some GPT element could come into create a simplified conversation with a condensed amount of speakers.
How out of touch with reality do you need to be to agree to this article?

But the power imbalance is the whole problem. Unfortunately it seems to be human nature that those who seek and gain power are compelled to exercise it to benefit themselves, to the detriment of others.

What sort of compromise are you thinking of? I get the impression that workers have done a lot of compromising (involuntarily) in the past decade or two and bosses have not.

The idea of a co-operative has always been appealing to me, but having encountered and worked with a lot of real live humans my idealism regarding that is pretty much shattered and in practice I suspect it would be very frustrating and fairly short-lived.

Personally I ended up as a business myself, I have clients rather than employers. It's far from perfect, but it feels more honest and 'real' somehow.
> No, this is FAANG. You're in MTV, but the people you need to collaborate are in NYC, LAX, SEA, AUS, SFO...

I don't think this is really that common. I spent a decade in MTV on a wide variety of teams. I had VCs with people in different locations a handful of times and I never had one by myself. And getting deep focus with those people was so valuable that it was easier to just go to NYC, MUC, or SYD once a quarter than it was to jump on a call.
I have gone over to fullquote any comment I make on reddit because of this toxic style. It's not exclusively your comment anymore if you post it to a public place.
>> disbanding this corporation doesn't undo decades of pollution either.

Yes, but it prevents them from harming the public like this in the future, and also serves as a very strong deterrent for others.
At least until now, we could mostly ignore it. It's gotten much more forceful; I'm now worried about old.reddit.com more than I was before.
> But because the leaders of a country like Venezuela know that, they may well try to avoid developing their country into such a weak state in the first place. Sure, bribery and corruption are fun, but only if you live long enough to use it; it’s not worth ruining the economy if the only consequence is being killed when Brazil, Colombia or the United States invades.

Interesting read but the above point is moot. History features many selfish leaders letting their kingdom, fief, colony, what have you fall into exactly that state of affairs. And when they were occupied, as often as not, the leadership was left intact so long as the tribute did flow. This is true from the ancient world up to through the 20th century.

> This is why, I’d argue, you see the proliferation of failed states globally: in the past it would be actively profitable for non-failed states to take advantage of them

Sure, there may be more independently standing "failed states" but occupation by a "more competent" power was rarely a corrective. These largely just became failed vassals. The little bit of bureaucratic support imposed by the occupier usually had the effect of depriving locals of the experience of self development and coordination and thus deepening and prolonging the crises within.

> I should note I find this version of the argument, based on incentives and interests more compelling than Steven Pinker’s version of the argument based on changing cultural mores.

> The value of the oil and other resources would be less than the cost of maintaining control of the country.

The reasons that managing such a country would be too costly now vs in the past are almost purely cultural. Treating an occupied place like a colony has diplomatic and internal consequences for the occupier (not enough in my opinion but much more than in the past). And much more importantly, the cultural inventions of nationalism and total insurgent warfare have made it much harder to maintain an occupation. Yes, there were insurgencies in the past but the cultural expectation that hundreds of thousands or even millions of people will live in craters, subsist on worms and rats, forgoe medicine, endure exposure, hunger, pain and trauma for years or decades or even generations to guarantee self rule.

The cultural invention of nationalistic mass resistance depends on technological innovations. You need modern small arms and explosives to make every cell of 20 or so fighters a threat which can't be ignored by an occupier. You need modern communication to coordinate these cells.

And of course the value of this cultural invention is in its ubiquity. So you need an era of sentimental propaganda that depends on modern mass media to disseminate it.

Ultimately technology and culture are not separate things. They shape each other as they develop and sometimes they are one in the same.

That's not how you use them. (at least not in my family). It was a read the whole thing deal. So much random knowledge.

We had the WorldBooks, but ran across Encyclopedia Britannica in the school libraries. The Macropaedia was _far_ more in depth than the Micropeadia, or WorldBook at its best.
"For the past few months, Mr. Davies and Mr. Zhu have been planning a comeback. In April, they unveiled Open Exchange, a marketplace for traders who lost money in last year’s crypto implosions. Customers will be able to buy and sell claims to the bankruptcy estates of defunct crypto firms like FTX and possibly Three Arrows itself."

There is a scam strategy where the victim is targeted again leveraging the initial scam.

I've experienced what I believe is a very minor form of this in music lessons, where a teacher would say some phrase or metaphor and it'd click and suddenly I'm able to move a drumstick better. I know that wouldn't happen if there wasn't direct interaction with someone.
I'm guessing that your CEO has the common sense to not be interviewed by the NYTimes about his Saint Martin vacation

It's interesting that the motion is called that, because any biscuits I've ever made get tough and not flaky if you knead them too much. And too much is pretty much anything more than the bare minimum required to get them to hold together.

Biscuits (in the US sense) are more like a chemically leavened pie crust than a yeast leavened bread.

If it's not obvious, I'm not a serious baker.
It doesn't, but you could probably trick it into loading those from your GDPR archive (by renaming the file).

I wonder what the role of this corporation has been in historically 'hiding away' (making the knowledge 'safe') the majority of "our" know-how around industrial scale chemistry?

I am curious about this because they did to chemistry what (? the nuclear bomb programmes?) did to physics?

This that I have seen happen against computer technology during my short time on earth so far (related: "war on general purpose computers").

...that for the sake of safety (you wouldn't want randos making TNT? then nuclear bomb... now computer malware or 'dangerous' AI tools?) a way is found to make knowledge inaccessible (for safety's sake)

on the level of reasoning i'm seeking, 3M is one of many examples of an older 'deeper' practice around knowledge, accessibility, government, organization-constructing, etc...

The consequences of a type unsoundness in TypeScript are typically much more benign (an exception typically) than in C (a buffer overflow, arbitrary code execution, etc.). Also the application logic is more visible in TypeScript just due to it being higher-level - there isn't so much low-level detail (ever done JSON in C?) so less chance for a mistake.
I've always thought this about HIPPA as well, having worked in the healthcare field years ago. I imagine some "hero" leaking an enormous healthcare dataset after anonymizing some info and furthering research. Too bad I never had access to that.
I tried to use it 10 years ago, before AutoCAD bought it. I wasn't very successful, although admittedly I didn't know what I was doing. Today, KiCad is more than capable for anything a hobbyist would work on. Eagle is just an interesting footnote.
Hmm, this got my hopes up. Turns out this is just a random mention, and not a new release. Last release seems to be from 2021.
That sounds familliar...
I agree, but to nitpick one thing: RCS isn't properly decentralized. It's controlled by carriers in the GSMA and, with the current way the infrastructure has been deployed, Google. Interoperable on the app level, yes, but not a poster child for decentralization.
I'd argue that as soon as you have people sitting in different rooms (or at least floors or buildings), it starts to resemble a remote environment even on-site. I don't think people who work best on-site only reap the benefits if everyone they could possibly interact with is near them. There's models where teams within one company are either fully co-located in one place, or fully remote.

Also not an "everybody wins" situation, since then what you can work on is limited by where and how you work. But that's not what it's about in my mind. When people with different preferences want to collaborate it's about finding compromises. Personally, I started to place more value on who I work with than what I work on, so for me this flies. It's not as easy as it sounds to pull off though, since it requires people to accept that some of their colleagues work best in a way they personally find wildly unproductive. Takes quite a bit of trust.
Paul Graham has posted his thoughts about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=117171

I think that sites really shouldn't have guidance on this sort of thing, because nobody would follow it anyway. If you only have upvotes and downvotes, people are just going to upvote stuff they like and downvote stuff they don't like, and any individual will have different rules about what "like" or "doesn't like" means to them.

Waaaaay back in the day, I did like how Slashdot had different categories for voting, e.g. "Insightful", "Funny", "Off topic", etc.
It doesn't matter in the military. People aren't machines. And when you throw them into high stress, chaotic, unpredictable environments, the expections of performance arent like what you see in the movies.

Mr Zuckerberg cited a study showing new employees that started as remote performed more poorly.

Does anyone know if the level of new hire training and onboarding is the same?

My experiences with onboarding is you generally sit with someone for a week, all day - and sometimes for two weeks.

Usually the productivity hit of doing this is swept under the rug. When working remote, are managers still designating mentors? In places where this happened unofficially, does that style of onboarding still happen?
The main thing is that you need to be moving at least a few knots in order for your control surfaces (rudder, forward planes, stern planes) to work.
Why spend your time writing comment after comment about how bad SO is, if you "don't care enough"? That's quite ironic.

Those complaining about SO being toxic are often quite toxic in their comments. I find that quite ironic as well.
So you get value from the community, and leave a trail of confusing deleted comments for the others? What experience remains if everyone would do the same - Kant's "categorical imperative" would imply this is unethical.
You are stealing: downvote. You are playing music too loud: downvote, right away. Driving too fast: downvote. Slow: downvote.

You make an appointment with the dentist and you don't show up, believe it or not, downvote, right away. We have the best patients in the world because of downvoting.

For those new to Elixir it may not be immediately obvious why this is so cool. You can do the same thing in Javascript by passing functions in object properties after all right?

With Elixir, the struct is immutable which means it can be safely accessed in parallel without dealing with locking/mutexes. You also have a horizontally scalable "cluster" of machines (even on a single physical machine, this is over-simplified but it's an accurate mental model) so you could easily have some producer that is creating these expensive math ops and pushing them onto a queue, and then a pool of "workers" that run the actual execution distributed across cluster CPUs. And this can be done fairly easily with idiomiatic Elixir, without adding external dependencies! Really neat stuff.
I have the opposite experience. I spend less time managing and fixing computers of people that upgraded to GNU/Linux. It just runs more stable and does not clog up over time needing a reinstall to actually get it back to normal. Also if something goes wrong it is much easier to diagnose and fix problems remotely with GNU/Linux. So yeah GNU/Linux is also much closer to free when it comes to time needed to keep it running.
Junk “science”. It’s extrapolations that make no sense and that don’t translate to reality. Ever heard the saying “lies, damn lies, and statistics?” Well that’s what this interpretation is.

You can’t generalize from a 1-off event like we saw (where most nobody was being exposed for much of it) and then average across the population and say it causes things.

Repeated exposure, yes. But not this. Is it good for you? No. But it’s not like it’s really hurting anyone. Walking past a person smoking a cigarette isnt going to give you cancer no matter how hysterical sone people get about it. It’s ridiculous to even entertain it.
