That is not a new method. There is even a Locked Up Abroad episode that someone gets caught smuggling coke in shampoo bottles through the airport.

I would think it is quite common and effective to throw off drug dogs.

3 bottles and one tests positive for coke, I am not sure what anyone would reasonably expect the officers to do here besides arrest the guy.

Seems straight forward though this guy is owed a good amount of money from the Canadian government for his troubles.
This isn't really interesting data; After 150 years, the family tree becomes pretty wide and interconnected. The fact that Barrack Obama has ancestors who owned slaves is about as interesting as someone saying they're related to Genghis Khan or Charlemagne
Toxiproxy is such a tool for everywhere else, and it did help me test and improve networking code for poor conditions: timeouts, retries, packet loss, etc.
Sure, but assume for the hypothetical that the counter parties were a list of existing "I'll sell this much at this price" orders. I.e. they were existing information that the market already took into account.
Just want to lyk your link is down right now.
What I don't understand is that the act of observing your own thoughts is still a thoughtful action.

Authoritarianism dressed as public safety!?! Gasp! Who would have thought up such an insidious scheme! Could it be the government?!
Been using tinc for god knows how long... Perhaps 20 years? It's been fantastic. I really don't know why people are wax-lyrical about wireguard. tinc was doing it 20 years ago. UDP? yeah. encryption, mesh, proxy ARP you name it. I've had countless install and it's been the best VPN.

You even get a 'dot' graph of your current network status if you want to. When 'git' was invented, I put my /etc/tinc/*/ into git with the public keys, and installing a new host to the mesh is one 'git clone' away.

Me too. What I sometimes do when I get a sense of “works only in Chrome” is write a complaint to the company. At least make it known.

> every living former U.S. president – except Donald Trump – are direct descendants of slaveholders

True, and I bet in the Trump family there were Slave traders. If you look back further enough I believe everyone is a descendant of both a slave and slave owner.

There is a lot more history about Slavery than in just in the US. Only the US has detail records about it, thus easier to research.

What matters is how people view this practice now and understand the full history of it.
I thought English was pretty heavy in the non-gendered side? There are some words that we remember the gender of, of course. But we don't have the hard separation of verbs and such that apply based on the gender. Consider the French "verb gender agreement" idea. Do we have anything like that in English?

I also confess I didn't think of a gender for the sun. The moon brings to mind some characters named Luna, but I wouldn't think of the moon itself being female.

And then there are some words that are becoming more directly gendered in the modern world. "Guys," as the easy example.

It is also interesting to me that different animals are seen as gendered in odd ways. "Cats" being one that feels more feminine to me. Despite all of our cats being male. My entire family also always refers to the chickens as "he" and "him." Such that we just don't seem to care about the animal sex/gender. (That makes me realize, has gender moved on from something that is applicable to animals?)
> To the extent that it was true then (taking saalweachter's comment in mind), it's still true now.

It is entirely possible to be skeptical and critical of the labs handling of the virus and want investigation into it without assuaging anything about the Chinese people or some grandiose theory involving their military. Most people are interested in the former, not the latter, but people who don't want this discussed rule all discussion about the latter.

As for the rest of what you wrote, you can definitely object that there are exceptions today and that there exceptions years ago but I'm talking about prevailing attitudes, not that there weren't zero people who did or didn't believe something.

Case in point, the 1990s is when the idea about OOP being dominant began to die. This was culturally marked in the show Halt and Catch Fire.
Will it read all the manufacturer-specific clusters needed to confirm odometer fraud on this model of vehicle?

That's not entirely true. Most games are still built for Windows, and all of the tools for playing games on Linux have come a long way, but there are still a lot of combinations of games and drivers that don't work.

One of the specific design requirements for the AES competition is that it could be used in embedded systems, which at the time was synonymous with 8-bits and limited memory. There are AES candidate 'reference' implementation floating around for the original AES bakeoff (that Rijndael eventually won) running in a couple of KB of memory for the 8051 and mc6805, for example, and I know of at least one PIC version of AES in use. There's probably tons of other examples; given how well documented the algorithm is, it's one of those things a lot of people probably take a swing at.

Now...this is obviously for sending small amounts of data at low (very) bit rates 'securely', not modern web or streaming or anything fun like that. And my understanding is that the real killer in trying to do something like TLS on such small platforms is the key generation/exchange/management part. YMMV.
I went into a store this weekend, find my item walk up to the counter, the guy scans my item and I go to use my card, it prompts me to rate him out of 5 stars.

What does a 1 star item scanning look like?

> This website should neither compete with nor replace regular journalism.

That’s good in theory, but people will use it like that anyway. We’re living in an era of rampant misinformation. Provable truths we’ve know for thousands of years are being called into question (the shape of the Earth). Even people who should know to do their own research (see recent case of lawyers using ChatGPT) are taking AI output as unquestionable truth. Your website won’t eliminate bias, it will only give people more sources to cherry pick.

> Hence, I try to highlight different view points along with contrasting opinions

Which exacerbates the issue. If we can prove the Earth is a sphere and 99% of people understand that, making it seem like the “contrasting opinion” is equally valid and deserves the same weighted consideration makes the problem worse, not better. John Oliver illustrated the problem in 2014, using climate change as the example.

I often think that marketplace rating should work like this:

Every 3 rides, you get asked "Which one of the last 3 rides did you like the best?".

Then the driver you select gets 1 star. So an average driver would get 0.3 stars per ride. For display purposes, this can be normalized to whatever scale is most comfortable for users.

This should completely get rid of the problems with the popular "rate every seller right after the transaction" approach.
I've been back to using Firefox for about 3 years now, never seen an ad from it. What do you mean by "show ads every now and then"? I really don't remember one single instance of being shown an ad in the browser since I got fed up with Chrome's bullshit.

At least on my computers I don't see any performance difference between Firefox and Chrome, at work I have to use both, and right now I have 3 Chrome windows and 2 Firefox ones open, all of them with multiple (like dozens) of tabs, no noticeable difference.
So now instead of sending the data to OpenAI we send it to Cape?
I know that you "promise to keep it secure", but I can only trust you, right? Something like this should IMO be done on-premise

> Democracies aren't really about giving individuals authority to exercise their will, they're about authorizing individuals to execute the will of the people who elected the individual.

Yes, but the election is merely the hiring process. Democracy takes place when you visit your hired representative on the regular, to keep them informed of where you are at with the changing state of the world. That does not mean the employee has only one boss, but it also doesn't mean you can just disappear and never speak to your employee again. I mean, you can, but don't expect favourable results. They are certainly not mind readers.

If you don't want to put in the hard work of staying on top of your employee, that's fine, but if you are not going to engage in democracy why keep up the facade? Certainly, if you are going to sit back and not participate, interests will go towards those who do (e.g. lobbyists).
I love that and agree with it. Now when can I read my email in Obsidian running on Obsidian OS?
Of course, since it is basically arbitrary and you've explained why you brought it up, I guess anyone who disagrees with your broader point can find a way to disagree with your assigned genders of the sun and moon.

But, typically in the US the sort of “default” is that women take on the more nurturing parental role (of course, everybody’s family is different, I’m just talking about the default/stereotypical roles here). So, in that context the sun would be female, right?
It's not a lie that mshtml.dll was the IE (trident) renderer. And it's not a lie that it was a dependency for a number of OS features.
Before reading the linked page, I thought this was about a Linux distribution optimized to run both local but containerized applications and remote/cloud web applications, kind of a ChromeOS like distribution with the same focus on simplicity and security, but with an addition local execution approach based on containers, and less tied to Google.

So, this is not at all this, but now I wonder if a distribution like the one I imagined exists?
people seem to think there is a corporate generosity/corporate greed cycle, where sometimes they get greedy and push the prices up and other times they feel generous and lower the prices for no reason.

If people would pay more they'd already have set the prices higher...these quangos commenting on it have clearly lowered the quality of their academic hires if they're willing to publish garbage like the article above and the imf's recent piece.
You can’t raise prices in a vacuum. If the market has adequate competition, then raising prices will lead to a loss in sales as customers go to other businesses. With consolidation, which GP mentioned, there isn’t enough competition to keep prices down.
Having read the article, I'm guessing you're meant to fingerprint your visitors and then exploit their identity somehow. That's what counts as "breaking" the API.
> Don't you think this would be more useful than ChatGPT?

In my experience, it just makes it harder to extract useful information.
I changed it back to use default browser. It took all of 60 seconds to google the answer. They totally should take a calculated risk like this in order to gain more market share. Exercising control over software defaults rarely causes users to abandon a product entirely. The pain of changing the default back is much less than the pain of finding a new tool. Microsoft will not lose Outlook users by doing this. They will gain Edge users though. Yes, they will enrage the craftspeople who aren't a part of THE GRID, but that still won't affect the bottom line enough to matter.
It's a great question. Redaction limits the LLMs ability to draw on the underlying training data on the subject. This can work to the developers benefit in many cases, like asking questions about your own provided context.

Many developers have gotten away from relying on LLMs for facts, toward providing LLMs with facts and having those facts repurposed.

For example, if you ask an LLM about a famous person, like Wayne Gretzky, it may give you a good answer but there is a chance it may hallucinate key details like the number of points he had in his NHL career.

To combat this, you can provide the LLM with a biography of Wayne Gretzky and you may get more factual answers, but the LLM may still hallucinate if you probe for facts that were not provided.

If you redact his name instead, for example asking “Who is [Name1]?” the LLM will be unable to answer the question without further context. But now, if you provide the redacted biography the LLM can answer the question while relying only on the provided context (the biography will contain information about [Name1]). If the question falls outside of the context the LLM will not be unable to answer, which is often the desired result. In other words, the LLM is unable to rely on the training data about Wayne Gretzky because it is only dealing with [Name1] along with redacted locations, organizations, occupations, etc from the biography about [Name1]. You force the model to rely on the provided facts.

The use cases we see are people providing legal contracts and financial statements where names and currencies get redacted, and the LLM must work with the redacted values and any other context provided.

Paul Graham was belittling people on Twitter for suggesting that corporations are partly responsible for the inflation problem. I respect him a lot but I was shocked to see that he is unable to this point.
For me it was always Nvidia Optimus not working properly, causing poor battery life.

Turns out I now have a related problem in Windows, with the integrated GPU spinning at full throttle despite not doing anything important.

I've somewhat improved battery life(and CPU temperature) by setting the system to prefer the discrete GPU, which is a ridiculous solution to a problem which I shouldn't have had in the first place.

At this point I think I can live with selecting one of the GPUs and sticking to it for a given session, like I did in Linux on my previous machine. Even if I have to restart the system each time.

I've mainly been learning by doing (and failing), though I've read these books which helped solve problems I had at the time:

- Badass: Making Users Awesome by Kathy Sierra

- Deploy Empathy by Michele Hansen

Intel Manufacturing Gets Its Own Profit and Loss Gearing Up for a Spin-Off
There are two "fixed views" that will come up here, regardless of evidence for or against:

- hardcore monetarists who think that inflation is always and only a monetary phenomenon

- hardcore Efficient Market Hypothesis believers who think that all markets are always perfectly efficient, so therefore all companies are always already charging profit-maximising prices

(These come up every single time and are immune to evidence. Also a bunch of people are going to ignore the UK and Euro qualifiers of the OP article and talk about US inflation)

Personally I'd like to offer a couple of extra lines of inquiry: labour market tightening due to COVID losses, and the impact of huge natural gas price spikes in Europe due to the war. See the IMF quote in OP:

> "Rising corporate profits account for almost half the increase in Europe's inflation over the past two years as companies increased prices by more than spiking costs of imported energy. Now that workers are pushing for pay rises to recoup lost purchasing power"

That presents a proposed mechanism for actual price changes ("menu reprinting" in economics jargon). Energy spike forces price rises -> once you're changing the prices, makes sense to change them by more than you need -> wages less elastic than consumer spending -> increased profits because prices have gone up faster than wage bills AND energy prices have now come down again.
Your experience is obviously an insane outlier, not what the article is talking about, and more a matter for Uber support and/or the legal system.

Advertising is manipulation. The advertisers are literally trying to convince you to buy something you didn’t want to buy. They use every psychological trick available to overcome your resistance.

By this rationale you should also feel obligated to buy everything that everyone advertises to you, since they paid for the ad specifically to get you to buy.

> That said, this is pretty cool. It's made me think how for humans and many other animals, moving 10, 100, even thousands of kilometers horizontally is not a very big deal. But move vertically, and you effectively find yourself in a different world within as little as a few hundred meters.

This observation reminded me of 'Dragon's Egg', the SF novel about a civilization on the surface of a neutron star. Because of the intense magnetic field, movement in the east-west direction was easy but very difficult in the north-south direction.
- Have a family that can back / help you out financially.

- Have a working spouse that can float you.

- Have funding secured BEFORE launching your startup.

- Have a solid network of friends, acquaintances, co-workers, business partners, etc. that have enough money to support you.

And so on.

Not really the best kept secret, but a LOT of startup founders come from social classes where money isn't that difficult to get. And others work in lucrative industries before launching their entrepreneurial careers.

For ages there's been this debate on being able to afford (taking) risks, which tends to be strongly correlated with your socioeconomic background.

Taking out credit-card loans, mortgaging your house, etc. def isn't the norm.
I agree, small, low slung manual cars let you have fun without breaking too many laws. You can’t do that with modern cars anymore. I took a c7z for a test drive. Took it sideways going ~75mph, but the car was completely numb and unfeeling. I knew that it wasn’t the car for me, because I’d kill myself or someone else trying to eke a thrill out of it.
Agreed that is the direction I would go. The only reason I can think to wait on a rebuild would be if one knows/trusts the mechanic and/or they are having modifications done to the engine for cooling, turbo, fuel efficiency, brackets for different accessories like dual alternators, computer tuning after removing components from the engine, etc...

I believe the comment that you're replying to might mean that they wouldn't notice if their odometer was totally broken and didn't increase at all. I am the same. I assume the mechanics would notice when the yearly inspection showed the same odometer reading as the previous year.

Regarding point #3, doesn't YouTube lose Google millions a year? The amount of server space needed to transcode and store all of that video data must be immense, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was a loss leader so that Google can have much more dominance over the personal video space (see DailyMotion, Vimeo(?) and others which tried and failed to be YouTube competitors)
