I don't think mcdonalds advertises because they have a stockpile of corn and nothing to do with it. Food vendors advertise because more purchases mean more profit. The government subsidizes the corn producers basically whether or not they actually sell anything. The entire purpose is to keep them on standby if we ever somehow become completely cut off from the rest of the world.

I'm pretty sure mcdonalds and frito lays would still be advertising even if their input resources quadrupled in price.

Everything is made with corn syrup because it is cheap, because it is an easy use for corn. If we made it easier to turn into other products like beef feed and ethanol, or less profitable to use corn syrup like with a tax, then there would be less corn syrup in food, but anything that doesn't provide an easy use for the oversupply will not work, because it just doesn't meet the desire of the US government to keep an obscene oversupply of corn in the market.

Their pricing update end of last year was one of the reasons we switched over to Github.
Other reasons were, that most external services had integration with Github but not with Gitlab, or that we didn't use many of the features Gitlab provided but charged for.
If they would provide some lite plans with custom feature addons, we might have kept it, but all in all there was not much difference between Gitlab and Github except for the pricing then
I think changing algorithmic/ad-ridden feeds to chronological or user-controlled feeds is a big enough change to stand in its own in many cases. The community culture can also be a big change. Even if current sites have nailed most of the UX aspects, they are so big and eager to monetize that they almost can’t achieve good outcomes in this area by their very nature.

Another thing I expect to induce significant change is the increasing familiarity with the digital world and growing technical competency among users. We’ve seen a huge shift in the past decade of increasing social media usage amongst boomers and such with low technical competency. People who grow up in the digital world, and people who work with technology enough to understand how it works (which the internet used to self select for, then it didn’t, but as an absolute share of society it’s an ever-growing pie) have stronger opinions on how sites should work and are more willing to use nonstandard solutions like federated clients.

Facebook died not because of its UX but because its community went to shit, it was no longer the cool place to be. IMO, Twitter and Reddit (which was never cool, but was interesting, but not much anymore) have suffered the same. They may never “die” but in a way that makes them already dead.
Boy this gives me new perspective on what insufferable little shits recent weight loss winners can be. They’re hangry all the time, and lost one of their favorite pastimes. So it’s just gonna be lectures.

Look, I used to be in better shape than pretty much anybody here. Unless you’re an Ironman veteran I have nothing to learn from you about exercise and I can probably teach you a few things. But health problems, especially joint injuries, happen to old people, and they happen much more often to people who are rabid about exercise. I’m not you ten years ago. I’m you twenty years from now. So drop the smug bullshit and learn something.
On a similar note I've been wanting to buy and use a fully "free" phone - one where I have complete control over most if not all things. But it appears to me that unless you use a regular "phone", there is no way you can DIY your way into building a "modern" phone bit by bit like how a desktop could be made.*

Calling/4g/5g require specific hardware that seems difficult to integrate at a hobbyist level (unlike say installing Linux which is possible in an afternoon even for some not familiar with it.) And even though you could get android to run on a raspberry pi, it appears impossible to use something like google pay (which likely requires safetynet) on it.

I'm not sure if the reason is the "blobs" that ARM uses instead of drivers but it is disappointing that I can't take something like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 dev kit, dualboot linux and android and use it like a phone-laptop hybrid. /Disappointed rant over

(Here's the kit - https://developer.qualcomm.com/hardware/snapdragon-8-gen-2-h...)

I view this as very RIM/Blackberry like, only Tesla has learned from history. Eventually the competitor charging networks were going to be "good enough" - Tesla had the option of working with Ford or GM, or letting them dump their combined resources into a competitor (and every other MFG). Sure in the short-term this will make them more vulnerable to competition, but if your only moat was the charging network you were doomed to fail anyway.

Had RIM opened up BES/BBM to the iphone early on, they might still be around today.
At a quick glance:

- Leta is much faster than Startpagw
- Startpage offers a lot more of Google's features, eg date range filter, image search, and so on

I would guess that both differences are due to Startpage not doing any caching.

Startpage also has a neat "Anonymous View" feature where they proxy the request for you, acting as your HTTP client. If you trust Startpage, it's probably a pretty good ad-hoc anonymity tool.
That's because it's a terribly designed study. Their lowest dose shows maximum effect, they should have also tested 0.1 mg/kg.

And 1mg/kg of body weight is way more than any person would be exposed to unless you like drinking gasoline.

As of right now, you can file for patent protection if your invention is novel, and gain an exclusive right that's good for 20 years. While it's a mediocre system, it exists because people found the alternative of no rules at all to be worse.

Ah, got it. I don’t even know of one, TBH, let alone have a best one in mind. Every time I’ve used an LSH, the hashing code has been ad-hoc and tailored to pretty specific data and optimization goals. (An added layer of difficulty is that “locality” isn’t universally defined.)

I’m not sure but it might be simplest to just look for a decent Map library in your favorite language, and keep the hashing part separate. It’s generally very easy to insert your own hash transform wherever you need, whether it’s on the fly, or saved as a sort key in memory. This way all you would need is to find a Morton order function, for example, if you want to hash with a z-order curve.

I tried, but DNP basically gave me a perpetual fever (aka pyrexia) so I didn't train. I assume it would have had a pretty noticeable effect though.

I agree with that. I think the fundamental difference in Google's case is that the suing party is different from the addressee of the warning. Moreover the suing party is powerful and the addressee is completely negligible. Hopefully courts sees that, but who knows?
I'm currently hosting a git repo on my home machine and it's used by me when I'm on the road and a few people I trust enough to have logins on my DMZ machine.

It seems there should be an easy way to use gitlab or github as a public read-only proxy to changes that are released on the private repo. And then going the other way, sucks up PRs from public sites and lovingly integrates them into the "real" repo on my home machine.

Yes. There are security ramifications. There are availability ramifications. I seems slightly to be trying to skirt GitLab's policies they're probably putting into effect to avoid going bankrupt. But the flip-side is I really don't need a wiki or a bug tracker or whatever else GitLab is working on. I would pay a small amount of cash to just get a public repo mirror.

And we all have different ideas about how to make this "easy". I don't mind running scripts on my local host, but would like to avoid polling the public repo to see if someone's posted a PR. I also don't want to have to run a script in a container on the public repo. So would love it if you could set the public repo to proxy PRs to a remote repo.

Just curious if anyone else has similar requirements. Maybe you have a corporate repo and want to mirror it to a public site like GitLab, GitHub or SourceHut. Maybe, like me, *you* just want a remote repo to stash your code but a public location so your home server doesn't melt down that one time someone slashdots your project.
> FWIW, I'm dreading having to buy an EV. Gasoline works better for my use cases. I don't have a place to charge at home, and I don't want to wait for on-demand fill ups.

Yeah, if you don't have home or workplace charging, EVs really don't have significant advantages at the moment.

They tend to be pretty aggravating, tbh.

I mean I would have accepted it if they had network separation for various environments managed by the same team, but they DON'T (anyone telling you its fine to deploy staging in the same network as prod should be fired IMO). So you have to use different teams and pay X times the seat pricing which is ridiculous.
That's because game design is an actual skill that needs to be cultivated, just as much as prose writing technique or cinematography or whatever.

> This would obviously affect the overall perspective of those in our society and skew them toward non-believers who don't push toward action on climate change.

That's not at all obvious. Children are expensive to have and raise, both in money and time. That gives those without children an advantage when it comes to accumulating power and wealth and influence. That might be enough to counter the influence of the parents, especially if kids continue to be heavily influenced by social media.
Is it actually that bad on Tiger Lake? Or just for really high-width vectors? On my old Ice Lake laptop, single-core AVX-512 workloads do not decrease frequency at all even with wider registers, and multi-core workloads will result in clock speed degradation of a small amount, maybe 100Mhz or so.

Depends on a couple factors (i.e. Ice Lake client only has 1 FMA unit) but I'd be surprised if Tiger Lake was a major regression relative to Ice Lake. It seems like they had it in an OK spot by then.
He likely asked it a question.
> When selling a company, there's similar practices of looking at the current annual income, project growth over a few years, and offer a price based on that.

Precisely. That practice is establishing the goodwill value of the company. This is another word for expected future cash flows.

If you've ever had a small company be acquired for more than it's asset value - you were the beneficiary of "goodwill".
It sounds like Google's way around this is what they've been doing for years at this point: slowly replacing AOSP builtins like the stock messaging app with separate, proprietary Google apps.

The difference in interpretation is that one is about actually helping, while the other is about having an earnest desire to help and taking action which may not actually help or possibly be detrimental.

On street parking is very much allowed only in some countries, the biggest one being the USA, but much of western Europe it is disallowed (or at least, you pay for it by the hour). Many countries require proof of parking spot before they will let you even buy a car.

Even in that case, it isn't hard for cities to put out L2 charging pylons at each on-street parking space. They can just combine it with street light infrastructure or whatever (they would also be able to monetize street parking at that point, which is inevitable anyways).
> computers are naturally able to compute.

Computers aren’t naturally able to do anything.

This specific computer system was created as an iOS machine. That’s it’s “””natural””” purpose.
Yea. Just about none of them could be optimized to constants because, uh, they're not constant. We're not perfect, but we do add const etc to TU level statics/globals that are actually read only. And if they are actually read only, we don't care about them in the context of threading anyway, since they wouldn't need any different behaviour anyway.
This is amazing, it just made my day :-)
Yeah but Google doesn't need to certify Anker or whoever to make a charger and there's no on-going agreement to make this charging brick work with my phone. Anker can't just later decide to not work with Samsung devices and suddenly not work. They all just speak USB-PD and it works.

Tesla chargers shouldn't care if the car is a Tesla or Rivian or GM or VW or whatever, if it plugs in and it speaks CCS it should charge.
I have always struggled to square this reality with the common recommendation from oncologists for women at high risk of breast cancer to eat less soy. Would a reduction in the bodies estrogen production increase the risk of breast cancer?
The "bag of bytes" POSIX(?) standard(?) can be overridden at the filesystem level:

ZFS

zpool create -O utf8only=on -O normalization=formD -O casesensitivity=insensitive mypool <pool geometry> <devices>

My primary use case for ZFS is a home lab file server to my Mac clients; you might want to keep Unicode normalization and case sensitivity at the default settings.

My suggestion here is just one [futile] step at reducing the madness; Postel's Law dictates that we should expect pathological inputs to shell scripts anyway.

You can always run a GitLab CE instance on your own, takes less than five minutes to set up at any Docker hosting provider you want.
The city has some awesome unique attributes that make it wonderful in many ways, it also has a big problem its politicians need to address. Both things are simultaneously true, and your opinion on whether it's good or not is based on how highly you weight the two things(or you don't live there and are just making up an opinion based on ideology)
It's a useful comparison for how long it takes to refuel a vehicle, but "moving a liquid storing chemical potential energy through a tube" and "move electricity through a wire [and re-store it as electro-chemical potential energy]" are two such radically different activities that it glosses over a lot to equate the two.
Gitea supports push mirrors.
> will rely heavily on public chargers

Public chargers =/= DC fast chargers (like Tesla superchargers).

I've already seen level 2 chargers that drop down from light posts in my city. Roll those out to every light post near apartment buildings and throw in some curb-side stalls if you need more capacity. Most people won't need to charge every night with 200/300mi+ range, so you won't need a 1:1 mapping of chargers to cars. This way, people charge passively overnight at stations that are cheaper to build than DC fast chargers.
Yes, I suppose it's a hardware/software divide, largely. Bits are how things are implemented in hardware typically, and programs need to run on hardware, so bits are relevant. But from a pure software POV, it shouldn't matter if it's bits or ternary[1] or something else; the software's purpose is to accomplish some higher-level task.

> In that world, Tesla would have had to switch their cars over to CCS eventually and retrofit their existing chargers to CCS, and people who bought Teslas with the proprietary plug have a terrible UX of needing adapters everywhere.

They've switched to CCS in Europe and as far as I can tell it's going just fine for them. Not sure what would motivate them to pull this risky move besides an insane love for their customers' UX (which ... I doubt).
> For those volunteers, that is a great example of doing something to make yourself feel better at the expense of the others you're claiming to help.

In this statement, you're subtly doing the same thing - assuming the motivation of the volunteer.

I agree that "help" without actually understanding the need, or without the invitation of the helpee, tends to be more meddlesome than beneficial.
Not the parent, but I do understand the sentiment and I don't think it's "anti-EU" at all, and parent was clear that they don't like megacorp. Consider the following two step process:

a) Megacorp monetizes people through exploitation, and
b) Nation-states monetize megacorp by levying pointless fines that effect no real change to actually help people

This might not be a very nuanced take about how things work, but is it really a terrible summary? Whether it's casually evil data-mongering, or industrial accidents like oil spills / train derailments, or more directly evil practices like price gouging for drugs that keep people alive.. we see this stuff play out all the time. Government-levied fines for such things don't seem to be working as a disincentive for megacorp, so how many times can you watch it before going full-cynic and just labeling it as a form of rent-seeking?

I'd like to be an optimist that sees a well intentioned government intervening on behalf of the people, but I'm personally running out of patience and faith. I think a lot of people are the same. I'd certainly stop short of saying the EU is completely corrupted, like they are just redirecting the fine-payouts into their politicians pockets or something. And FWIW, as an American I certainly do appreciate the EU's very civilized push for data-regulation/right-to-repair/etc.

But I think we have to admit fines aren't successful at reforming megacorp, or more specifically I don't think GDPR is fixing the internet. Why are things steadily getting worse despite more regulation? Again, not a nuanced take, but when people are looking for an explanation, at some point it's natural to think this looks like rent-seeking, because it's either that or sheer incompetence.
I've been seeing some of these as well in recent years.

The most memorable one was down in Louisville, where there was a gas station/bait shop/bar. The bartender sold me some whole-hog pork sausage at $2/lb. which he kept in a duffel bag in the ice box. Totally on the up-and-up.

Another is a well-known BBQ joint / convenience store out by Kansas City (I forget the name).

Most common, I think, is having a Subway inside the convenience store. I've seen Burger Kings as well.
Sorry. Think you are correct. I read word 'harmless' and associated it with entire comment indicating 'harmless'. But on closer reading, it could be as you say, and it is not trying to excuse it.
Also worth noting: I don't hear people talking about this. Tesla allows non-Teslas to access a very small portion of the supercharger network already. They offer a two-tiered plan; pay-as-you-go, or a $13/mo subscription which activates the lower charging rates Teslas already get. I don't know if its been announced yet how this applies to the deal Tesla has signed with Ford (and GM/Rivian?); will it look more like how EA/evGo operate, where there's a plan you sign up for to get the more market-rate charging prices? Or are they doing away with that?
Could not create a better environment for hazing and sexual abuse if you tried.
It is easy to explain when you consider that 2 car models are representing ~1.7M cars this year.

Their strategy is a little nutty and has basically required them to underprice their vehicles.

Looks very cool! Been waiting for this and had the same idea when I saw WizardCoder :)
Created an issue with suggestions for improvement/future direction, excited to try it soon!
It sounds like they could use some improvements, 5 people are probably dead now. Out of how many trips in that submersible? I don’t know, just wondering, but it can’t be that many. Certainly not comparable to commercial airlines. So that’s a pretty high failure rate. Being able to open the vessel from the inside in an emergency probably wouldn’t have saved them, it’s just the first thing that is too much of a red flag for me to personally ever step foot in that thing.

I also don’t even understand why that vessel needs to be manned at all. With today’s high def cameras and displays, including VR, they could outfit an unmanned vessel with high def cameras everywhere, a fiber optic tether to the surface to carry the high def signal (or even wireless to some degree if they could make that work), and the operator could sit in a control station either on the boat at the surface or streamed over the internet from home, controlling the vessel however he wants, with high def screens to simulate the viewing experience of being in the vessel. I’ll bet it would get you 99% of the way there without having to risk your life. It’s not like anyone is getting out of the thing to swim around the titanic in scuba gear anyway.
Sure, although I guess to be clear I wouldn't recommend DNP to anyone because it's absolutely not the miracle weight loss drug it seems to be when you read about it on the internet.
Really cool! Is this intended for individual users or for keeping dev environment in sync across teams of people?
Done, after seeing the author say it was written then.
> a constant notification just so it will be able to send me push notifications

That's because stuff running in the background in a way that cannot be optimized by the system must inform the user it's doing background operations.

I think that's a good idea. Hiding the notification is easy (hold it to enter the notification settings and disable that specific notification category) and it clearly shows which apps are killing your battery life, hopefully making the entire platform less dependent on aggressive task killers.
