What would that look like? If you rate limit stock exchanges to something like 1 update per minute then there will likely be the same amount of networking and computation going on to speculate on the next update and calculate optimal plays. It just moves it to behind closed doors where it is harder to know if shenanigans are going on.

It would take a heavier hand to push against this problem. I'm all for it, I'm just not clever enough or knowledgeable enough to know what would be a good regulation that would fly in congress.
I hate Apple as much as any other large tech company, but 1/4 true emergency rate seems like a pretty good start in cases where a person's life may be at risk!

Emergency services in my city (the one you call via phone) have a "true emergency" rate of about 1 in 10 according to emergency personnel I talked to, so it is always a matter of balancing the false positive/false negative rate.
seconded - high quality and friendly service. Hard to ask for more.
Popular opinion: writing "unpopular opinion" is just annoying. Just write what you think instead of pretending to be some sort of underdog.
I was confused by that.

And I'm still confused. What does "≈" mean, exactly? Is 2+2≈3^^3?

The system was already in a failing state if an alarm was going off. It was being neglected. Letting your car alarm blare 24/7-- that's malicious. Anyone attempting to disable it is an aggrieved victim. You're reversing the roles of victim and offender.

If the system was that vulnerable, area denial is step 1. Evacuation/remediation is step 2-3. Putting up a sign saying both "stay away" and "push this button" (that some Honduran or Dominican or whoever may not even be able to read in the first place) is well-intentioned but misguided. It's not the cleaner's fault they walked into a minefield. This wouldn't even be up for discussion if this were an open elevator shaft or arcing electrical panel. A problem existed-- fault is not attributable to whoever next encounters it.

Right now, I have a degraded zpool that's lost 3/6 disks-- one more failure and it's toast. Putting my NAS on the circuit connected to the light switch (no UPS!), then blaming my wife for destroying all of my life's work when she so much as walks into a dark room is just sadistic irresponsibility. Teenage girls do this shit. It's bully logic.
Counterpoint: for ten years prior to 2020 I rented a forest service cabin in a national forest on a holiday weekend every year and never once had any issue navigating the pre-Booz system. I agree it was not a very fancy site but it worked. I do not disagree with you that it is more accessible now, and I agree that the more people who get to access the parks, the better.
The answer is always "it depends", but <10% is the right ballpark. I would say 5-10% is probably what you would expect to go to employees depending on the specific trajectory things went.

Generally, companies start by creating an options pool of 10% of shares for employees, but they do not expect to blow through it. It really depends on who they hire though, what those employees value, how the company is doing, etc. The equity compensation employees get also decreases pretty steeply by employee number.
Sure, but they could display odds from past lotteries or provide current odds at time of purchase. You really have no clue what you're getting when you give them your $6-$15.
Funny, I've never mistriggered this, but I constantly find my phone accidentally in airplane mode, with data turned off, with the torch on, etc.

Because Google doesn't understand the word "lock" in "lockscreen"

There's like a decade-old issue marked "won't fix", despite constant user complaints and non-Google manufacturers having a clear option for locking Quick Settings on the lock screen.

Just another papercut making me consider dropping the Pixel line and just buying something even cheaper than can run LineageOS. It's amazing the lengths Google goes to enact death by a million papercuts on their flagship OS.

That's like when my friend tortured her kid (and me) by asking how old I was, which was answered with "75". That is a very wide margin of error there.

The way this works out in practice is a DJ makes their mix by blending these songs together at the start/end via remixes with similar beats.

Impossible to say. The German commo who was tasked with decrypting this message couldn't/didn't decrypt it, and he had the keys.

For all we know, some bored German submariner sent garbage over the radio as protest; this message was sent two days after Hitler committed suicide, 7 days before VE day. (8 days if you're of the Soviet persuasion) Morale and discipline has a tendency to break down under those circumstances.

Or it could be a transcription error. Modern cryptanalysis tends to be more resilient to transcription errors; one character wrong is gonna be ok, one character inserted/deleted will tend to produce two messages, one with garbage after the insertion/deletion and another with garbage before it. But Enigma messages were...terse, so a half-successful decrypt that gets half garbage and half plaintext might still be recognized by the cryptanalysis algorithm as the wrong key. I expect there would have to be at least two transcription errors to cause both the original German commo to be unable to decrypt it and modern attempts to fail.
> Imagine if we had a similar system for the departments of motor vehicles... pay 20% more but get it all done in minutes online instead of hours at the local office. Who wouldn't pay for that if they could afford it?

I can't tell if this is a reference to AAA or you're not aware of it? That's basically what the AAA membership gets you.

But at least in California, the DMV these days directly supports doing all the common things online so I haven't had a AAA membership in a long time nor have I had to go in person to the DMV in a long time.
"Why is our market crashing" might actually have something to do with the price of tea in China soon.
Apparently they changed their license so they can cancel it when you request sources.
Literally happened to me on Friday. Samsung A52 and the screen was on but the backlight wouldn't come on, so it looked black in sunlight. Fiddled with it in frustration and it started dialing the emerency number and couldn't see the screen to cancel it. Very stressful, and a huge waste of emergency service time as they had to call back and double check (and take details).
Isn't it a huge performance problem? Running a headless browser is quite heavy?
Maybe solving this would be determining a set of likely encrypted messages.

They could be scored by decrypted content matching structure of priors and context. Along with char difference from the encrypted message on record.

Usually, if you are out in the suburbs, your infrastructure costs way more than you are paying in taxes, just because of the distances involved. I don’t know your specific situation. Strong Towns has some info about this if you want to know more.
IBM make a sheadload of money, redhat also was doing absolutely fine on support sales (up 17% in 2022, according to 'el'google) -- if they are suddenly unable to pay their developers then, sure.

I don't think anyone is particularly surprised, or will miss them much. It's just kinda sad to see what was a reasonably happy opensource success story end with a giant corporation shutting down some of their releases out of protectionism.
Not just the internet.

Animal Planet made a fake documentary about Mermaids (a somewhat hokey one at that), with a disclaimer that it was a work of fiction.

Despite that, it's convinced a generation of fools that mermaids are real.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/mermaids-the-body-found/

But back to the internet. Plenty of youtube clips from this program where commenters are insistent that it's evidence that Mermaids are real. And comments linking to the footage of the disclaimer, and resulting dumb arguments. Still! In 2023!
It's not coincidence, and it's not conspiracy. It's zeitgeist, and people seeing one place do something and decide that's a good idea, and people following everything from scientific (and pseudoscientific) studies that came out around the time, to philosophical works published around the time, to all of the above that were old but re-popularized around the time.

You can just as easily ask "why was there a rise of right-wing nationalist and fascist sentiment throughout the Western world in the mid-to-late 2010s?" There's no grand conspiracy to any of it, and looking for one is likely to lead you down exactly the road that far too many conspiracy theorists have gone recently.

And, um, closely related, be aware that the "lizard people rule the world" thing isn't just a funny joke. It's deeply and inextricably rooted in a raft of antisemitic tropes, slurs, and propaganda going back...I forget exactly how long, but at least many decades. In fact, in general, when you encounter any conspiracy theory that posits a shadowy group of people secretly ruling the world, the chances are nearly 100% that you can trace it back to a version where that "shadowy group" is explicitly Jews. This is a big part of why conspiracy theorists have a tendency to find themselves in a pipeline to fascism.
Only problem with tax deductible is that it doesn't benefit lower income families as much.

I think a better reward would be the ability for someone having gone through the parenting program to have the ability to tell child protective services, or law enforcement, to fuck off straight to their face without any negative consequences.
The third bullet point explicitly mentions the device being compromised, so I think it’s unfair to paint that as unrelated to security or just a parental-control issue.
I love magit and I use it basically every day. But lately, at my work's monorepo, I've been greatly pained by how synchronous it is (like much of Emacs). When I want to fix a unit test, I find suspicious commits by a grep for some keyword through diffs in the git log, and unlike the git CLI, magit will not show me any matching commits until it has searched through all of them (capped at 256 matches by default), which takes a very long time. I love so many creative Emacs tools, but the wait times from magit and consult get painful.
You could also have mixed use of buildings, putting residential on the outside and commercial on the inside.
> There is a stop sign in front of my house and probably around 95% of cars stop

There was some discussion amongst my neighbors about a sign near us and we found that the key variable is the speed at which one considers a vehicle to be "stopped". Some folks felt that a 6 mph (10 kph) rolling stop at an empty intersection counted as a stop while others felt that anything more than 1 mph (1.6 kph) meant that the driver was running the stop sign. Since the majority of drivers fell somewhere in that range the estimates for how many people stopped were wildly different.
I think a better way to word it is, "hey, are you having a hard time finding a job? If so, we will give you one for the time being." Which Germany kinda does this to my understanding. If your having difficulty finding a job, the state will help find at least a temporary gig for you in the mean time.
SICP is one of my favorite books on programming. Along with GEB and Levy's Hackers.

When I want to give a young person a headstart "sneak preview" taster into "our" culture -- or what I think our culture should be, on the intellectual plane, as an ideal, then I'm confident that these in particular can be stimulating little gems.

OK, fine fine: also HHGG as the 4th of my top 3. The first book (in its series) especially but the entire 5+ books of its increasingly misnamed trilogy.

Just because firms don't prefer to think about pricing in terms of cost-plus doesn't mean that their actual costs are "irrelevant". If people feel that a company is pricing their goods unfairly, shouldn't they move their spending elsewhere? If companies with healthy and growing margins fire people with memos citing challenging economic headwinds, shouldn't people call BS? If companies raising their prices dramatically for the same goods, and perhaps for products which were developed decades ago and simultaneously lobby against regulations which they say risk stifling "innovation", shouldn't people tell their representatives exactly why those corporations are not credible?

The idea that discussing widening margins is "irrelevant" because companies adjust prices based on consumers' price sensitivity seems exactly backwards to me: the fact that profits are so high indicates that consumers have been overly-credulous and ought to be more price sensitive. And zooming out, the accelerated transfer of wealth from consumers to shareholders happens because we consumers collectively allow it. Reporting which highlights the rising profits relative to other factors can be part of what enables a course-correction.
It's a slightly different argument. The level of "reasonable risk" depends on the attacker in both situations.

The odds of any individual crafting a special packet to crash my system are absurdly low.

However, "absurdly low" is good enough. All it took was one individual to come up with the ping-of-death and one more to write a script to automate it, and systems worldwide were being taken down by random teenagers in the late nineties.

As a result of these and other absurd attacks, any modern IP stack is hardened to extreme levels.

In contrast, my house lock is pretty easy to pick (much easier than crafting the ping-of-death), and I sometimes don't even remember to lock it. That's okay, since the threat profile isn't "anyone on the internet," but is rather limited (to people in my community who happen to be trying to break into my house).

I don't need to protect my home against the world's most elite criminals trying to break in, since they're not likely to be in that very limited set of people. I do any software I build.

That applies both to system threats and to component threats. Digital systems need to be incredibly hard.

Google used to know that too. I'm not sure when they unlearned that lesson.

Reg Azure, pasting my response from elsewhere in the thread:

[...] in the Argonaut context, that only limits the overall infra management piece where we don't have a seamless integration using IAM roles and can't provision infra like dbs and queues. The app deployments to Azure kubernetes (or any k8s cluster) work seamlessly though, and some of our customers deploy to AKS in this manner.

We do not support gov cloud yet.
> Wait a minute, wut? Explain to this former colonist what cultural cue he's missing, because how is it possible that 42% of a country's population lives in public housing? Or is it not "public housing", as in U. S.-style subsidized housing? Or were times just that bad in Great Britain in the 70s?

There were a few factors.

1. Yes, many people were very poor. Today, many Britons are still very poor.

2. In the war, an awful lot of housing was destroyed. Entire towns (Harlow and Milton Keynes are prominent examples) were built from open countryside to house the displaced. The overwhelming majority of this housing remained in government ownership until Thatcher's 'Right to Buy' reforms, which are the origin of the present housing crisis in the UK.

3. Prior to the war, the United Kingdom was the most densely populated country on Earth; during the war, people 'mucked in' to help each other during the nationwide trauma of Total War[0], and after the war, returning servicemen and servicewomen demanded that the sacrifices made amount to something. The governments formed by the Labour Party from 1945 to 1980 instituted a great many social reforms - the National Health Service, expansion of state schooling, social care, and so on - that made good on these demands, and were seen as improvements to the nation, rather than government overreach.

I mean the fact that you have, what looks to my senior engineering manager eyes as, a coherent technical roadmap, puts you further along than almost every hobby level prototype tool.

It isn't frightening if you've been properly trained and understand how your tools work. The onus is on the bank to train its employees to use the proper number type for money.

I have no problem with languages having first-class support for big integers, arbitrary precision floating point numbers, arbitrary precision rationals, etc. The more representations the merrier, provided they have an efficient implementation.

Having programming languages where floating point types are first class, unboxed types is extremely important for anyone who writes software which crunches numbers. I would say this is more important than providing training wheels for inexperienced programmers.

It's not even some deep, dark secret... who wouldn't treasure their own little slice of paradise, known only to them and those dearest to them? Who wouldn't want to be able to experience a special natural place as though they were the only ones there? Who can blame people for wanting to keep these special places, special?

It's part of the everyday jobs of these agencies to try to maintain that illusion for its visitors, where possible. And part of why it's so hard to do juggle these needs. We could of course tear down more forest and build more parking lots around our parks, then add more paved trails and tramways and escalators to different parts of the park, turning them into amusement parks... but that would defeat the point. It's not easy to balance visitor accessibility with resource protection, especially when so many visitors barely ever step outside of their vehicles to go on the trails, instead tending to horde the most scenic viewpoints at a quick stop.

The NPS was established primarily as an automotive touring network, and were designed as such. Only recently have we started to try to encourage motorists to exit vehicles and actually fan out across the park, but it's not easy. And even that effort eventually backfires, as more and more people DO hit the trails and in turn crowd them, too. At some point lotteries are inevitable. Even designating new parks isn't really a fix, especially since people will horde new parks all at once in its first few years (see Indiana Dunes, which used to be a laid-back state park and then became a major destination because of its new National Park designation).

Don't get me wrong: I think it's awesome that more people are able to participate in our public lands (and in turn develop an appreciation for nature, wilderness, maybe even the climate and conservation, etc.). But it absolutely HAS to be deliberately managed, or our lands will be "loved to death"...
I've found the backup camera to be such a significant upgrade to backing out. I drive a hatchback, so a smallish car in today's world. When I'm in a parking lot, I'm inevitably surrounded by two giant fuck off bro-dozers that block all possibility of seeing anything around me, while the backup camera is mounted on my car's rear and has a fisheye-esque lens, meaning I can back to just the point where the rear is aligned with the cars around me, and I can see the entire lane of the parking lot, and thus can easily see if cars or people are coming.

This is something you just cannot do by "looking behind you" because you are 3 feet forward of that camera. You cannot see the parking lot lane until you are already intruding into it. The awareness you get from that camera is just strictly better than you get from your eyes alone.

When I was required to go back into the office, I told my manager I would begin my work day with my commute. Work day starts at 9am? That's when my hour long commute starts.
