Pepsi stopped using sucralose in favor of aspartame several years ago due to customer backlash.
You do. I used it like that for many years, until I could afford the PC version. The raspberry pi version is version-capped though, to whatever they have released up to that point for that platform.

> While Canada's bill may not be well-tuned, it is a welcome first attempt.

First attempt for Canada maybe. Australia did it a few years ago:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-56163550

The first draft of that law was initially written by the news companies themselves, and was a hilarious exercise in overreach. (For example, the first draft insisted news companies be allowed to edit joe citizens posts to the media companies Facebook page.) The version put before parliament was watered down and vague enough that after Facebook stopped posting Australian news, a compromise was reached that oddly didn't require a change to the legislation (and the media companies got far less).

But Australia wasn't the first either. The Australian media companies got their idea from the French(?):

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/21/google-agrees-to-pay-french-publishers-for-news.html

I agree with some other posters here. It's not welcome. It's a shakedown from dinosaurs grasping for straws, and to accommodate them the pollies stretched the definition of copyright even further.

It was obvious it wouldn't work, and clearly hasn't worked in Australia. The newspapers are still posting large losses, still shutting down newsrooms. It's inevitable they will disappear in their current form. The newspapers business wasn't selling news or doing investigations to create news. Their business is the same as Google's: selling ads. The news was always just the bait they used to get people to read their ads and they shamelessly copied it, often with only a few words changed, between mastheads. Each had their own little area they sold to, the size largely determined by how far you ship dead trees in about 6 hours. Now the BBC, CNN, The Guardian and the other remaining big ones can reach the entire world now, so we don't need thousands of little mastheads all repeating the same news items. These big news rooms do a far better job that the little ones at gathering news, and selling ads. And so, the little mastheads will die.

It's bad law because in order to cover this use case, they banned creating 10 or 20 word summaries of a 200 or 300 word article, expanding copyright accordingly. That had to do that because at least in Google's case, as all Google every did was post a few words and a link to the actual content, on the newspapers site. Copyright terms have already been stretched well beyond their utilitarian justification, probably by an order of magnitude. This stretches the definition of what is covered by copyright by a similar amount. Admittedly this stretch is fairly harmless here, but if it leaks into other domains we will have a mess on our hands.
I think it's overcomplicating things. Math is the study of patterns, trying to come up with rules that govern them. Those patterns might originate in the physical world or in our minds. Asking whether math is real or not is like asking "is linguistics real?" Linguistics, per se, is just the study of patterns of human language. It might, however, come up with made-up patterns (e.g., Esperanto).
Are you measuring only functional requirements? Plenty of people can code it up, but who can maintain it afterwards?

I have exactly 0% confidence banks or the United States will exist in 100 years. And I'm thinking there will be 3-7 territories run by trillionaire and/or religious feudal dictators.
Mercury or radioactive material come to mind.
Are they being dropped?

Im guessing you'll have two categories of tier 1 support:
- Built-in tier 1 support.
- Tier 1 support through the optional LLVM backend.

If they already have tier 1 support for an architecture, I don't see why they'd loose that support when they make the LLVM backend an optional dependency?

And as Andrew writes in the proposal, this way might provide a path for better support for more obscure architectures. I would happily work on a backend for Zig for some interesting processor architecture. No way I will ever contribute to LLVM. Working with C++ in not something I'll ever do to fun
There's mass shootings almost every day in America now, and they can be anywhere: shopping malls, schools, workplaces, Walmart, wherever. Yes, most people in America really do face constant danger and violence. People in civilized countries don't have these problems on such a huge scale.
May be a great idea...but I don't think we're getting anywhere near the whole story (obviously).

"Things are great and we've been killing it for 4+ years and business is growing like gangbusters and we're blowing out our numbers and we have customer loyalty...but we have to shut down immediately. Because one VC didn't give us money. Not all the other awesome VCs that we're surrounded with (who apparently passed on giving money), just this one shady one on the periphery. The one we bet our whole business on."

Too much wrong with this to do more than speculate what the real reasons are.
Google started a program back in 2014 to encourage other hardware vendors to build just such things. It is alas, now on hospice care, with death imminent:

No, it's not the exact opposite at all. You're being intentionally obtuse or intellectually dishonest. My point is clear.
Banning any book about Rosa Parks comes across as a passive-aggressive declaration of racist white nationalist ideology.

> Mexico has extremely restrictive laws regarding gun possession. There are only two stores in the entire country, DCAM near the capital, and OTCA, in Apodaca, Nuevo León. It also takes months of paperwork to have a chance at purchasing one legally.

> In 1971, Article 10 of the present Constitution was changed[10] to limit the right to keep arms within the home only (in Spanish: ...derecho a poseer armas en su domicilio...) and reserved the right to bear arms outside the home only to those explicitly authorized by law (i.e. police, military, armed security officers). The following year, the Federal Law of Firearms and Explosives came into force[11] and gave the federal government complete jurisdiction and control to the legal proliferation of firearms in the country; at the same time, heavily limiting and restricting the legal access to firearms by civilians.

> As a result of the changes to Article 10 of the Mexican Constitution and the enactment of the Federal Law of Firearms and Explosives, openly carrying a firearm or carrying a concealed weapon in public is virtually forbidden to private citizens, unless explicitly authorized by the Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA). For purposes of personal protection, firearms are only permitted within the place of residence and of the type and caliber permitted by law.

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearms_regulation_in_Mexico

Why is Mexico such an outlier in terms of the success of gun control? It seemed hugely successful elsewhere in countries like Japan and Sweden.
> Some sort of randomness would guarantee a diversity of candidates and would even span across dimensions which are not even considered currently.

It wouldn't create as much randomness as you think. For example, nearly 90% of student who score 1500+ on the SATs are Asian or white. [1] It's nearly the same for 1400+. If an Ivy set its lottery cutoff to be at a level that kept its average and interquartile range the same as it currently is, their admitted class would follow this pattern.

“He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion... Nor is it enough that he should hear the opinions of adversaries from his own teachers, presented as they state them, and accompanied by what they offer as refutations. He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them...he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.”

Does your country face a demographic cliff due to a less than replacement fertility rate?
Funny thing no one talks about. Maybe theory. Probably not.

The Sacramento river, if flooded by say the dam failure of Oroville, could reach Stockton. If that happens the city would be a foot or two underwater.

Little does anyone know there are contingency plans to literally blow the levees along the river and flood the nearby (mostly) farming land.
> These announcements are largely ignored. No individual cares about clearing the platform, even though it is the best thing for the rail network as a whole (crowded platforms cause delays).

It could be that people ignore it because the rail network is asking you to break the social contract at no benefit to you whatsoever, only an increased risk of a negative encounter (at best getting cursed out and at worst how long until someone gets shoved for blocking the walking half?)

The real win here would be for everyone who is able, to walk down the damn escalator.
I listened to that same episode of Throughline. It was a great discussion that touched on aspects I’d not considered.

One the key takeaways for me was the question of “what is it trying to achieve?” and “is it working?” To which the answers are nobody can agree but it’s not achieving any of the possible goals.

The effects of affirmative action having been banned from California public universities since 1996, including Berkeley and UCLA, was also quite telling. This happened nearly 30 years ago, so the effects are very clear to see.

Diversity was rocky for a few years, but they eventually figured out other ways to have it without using affirmative action.

The part about community colleges being a huge lever at getting more students into higher education was interesting. It’s not talked about much but has proved to be very successful.
This was exactly my take on it.

I'd recently been reading a bit more about zig, and even tried out using it as an easy way to compile c++ with llvm without having to fuss with system packages -- transitioning from c/c++ to zig was a major selling point

It just seems really abrupt, certainly unexpected. I'm not saying it's the right/wrong thing for the project -- just really really out of left field from my point of view
Not American and not familiar with American history so apologies if this is a stupid question. The reason as I understand it for AA for black Americans is the history of slavery. What is the reason for applying AA to hispanics?
I work with readers and editors sometimes. They get swollen and puffy when they see numbers, though they will swallow their pain if it’s a scientific article. Otherwise they will complain loudly and the editors will use their red pens a lot.

With that said, I consider your idea has merit and should be implemented.
The world you propose sounds good in theory, but we are starting at a point where certain groups of people have been discriminated against (or enslaved) for the better part of two centuries. So some argue that we cannot simply treat everyone "equitably" when our society has been decidedly inequitable up to this point.
> This is still an open question with regards to AI art generation tools.

While it is an unanswered question with no legal precedence, i am a believer that what isn't currently illegal is and should be considered legal, until harm has been shown and thus require legal ruling.

Wow this is a surprising roll-out. The k8s recommended deployment seems a bit overkill, perhaps thrown over the fence, but it shouldn't be hard to knock out a much more manageable docker compose configuration instead.
okay I must say - I just read his wikipedia and I read a line saying he was explicitly racist - skimmed all the sources and there was 0 evidence of racism.
Then i read his article : Hyper-Racism. It is not racist, as far as I can tell.

Can you hook me up with something damning about him?
cause to me, he just seems like a mega autistic edge-lord philosopher that has some fairly prescient views about what the future is going to look like.
(and Steve Bannon happens to like him, so people call him racist)

One reason is having a giant porous (at least in the north -> south direction) border with the US.

They are also a major exporter of illegal drugs to the US (aka the world’s biggest market for illegal drugs), being both a producer and trade route for other producer nations further south.

Control of these trade routes is extremely profitable, and guns are super easy to import. It’s not that surprising that the situation is different to Japan or Sweden.
No, we don’t need to be making community college free. Why do people always place so much emphasis on college when it’s clear that the entire system before that point is failing kids? All you’re doing is making it marginally easier for the people already sufficiently motivated to succeed in college to have a little easier time.

Elementary and Secondary education is what desperately needs attention, not college. Certainly not with public funding.
Not to diminish OP's accomplishments at all. His father benefited from AA which enabled him to level the playing field. Or perhaps more than level the playing field. Given that, is OP still starting from behind and need help to catch up? Or is OP now part of the privileged group and should take a few steps back?
Monopoly is the colloquial term, but this is actually anti-trust.

A trust does not require domination of a single market. Antitrust laws focus on companies who use their position to limit competition.

My opinion:

* Monopolies tend to focus dominating a single market to raise rates. Google essentially has a monopoly on the search advertising business.

* Trusts tend to utilize there wide-spread reach to drive down rates in non-core markets in order to server their primary market. Amazon demonstrates trust-like patterns through their bundling of unrelated services with Prime.

I mean they want you to subscribe to YouTube premium.
At least they’re being honest about this and give you the option. I have a few issues with google but this isn’t one (After being forced to spend many hours upgrading to google analytics rev 4….)

It’s expensive, but I’ve done it, but it also includes YouTube music which I like.

This should be interesting. I wonder how (or if) the pop-up warning works with 3rd-party apps.
Hispanics have historically been discriminated against in the United States. They are (or were) predominately Catholic in a country that is (or was) predominately not Catholic.
Decriminalizing is not enough. Legal, cheap, and with huge amounts of education and medical assistance at dispensation outlets is the only path towards dealing with the problem, IMO.

From my perspective, most of the bad effects of those drugs occur due to their illegality. Meth, heroin, cocaine, etc. is pretty fucking dirt cheap to produce. The impurities and high costs and unknown doses and burdens to the carceral system are what impose the bulk of the costs to society.
Just make YouTube lite available everywhere...
There are unique considerations related to military academies, which I believe were raised at oral arguments. The concern is that if the military academies do not enroll enough non-white students, then the officer population would be mostly white, and that could cause friction with a plurality/majority(?) group of enlisted soldiers.

The majority wanted to make clear that they are not opining on the analysis that would apply to the military academies.

EDIT: here's a discussion of such special considerations, from a prior affirmative action case: https://volokh.com/2012/10/11/the-military-rationale-for-aff...
If that’s your summary of knowledge, it’s misleading and lacks nuance. GI Bill did not exclude blacks, it’s educational institutions that chose either accept or decline those funds for black applicants. Still in South there was about a hundred of colleges accepting black paying with GI bills.
Majority those lynched was white.
You’re propagating victimization narrative.
There are historic black colleges that would and should gladly fill in gaps left by historical white institutions like Ivies. Same with neighborhoods. Both have the same problem that none is willing to talk about in polite non-Southern society.
Not every drug user is a “junkie”. Anecdotally I know of two past regular cocaine users who stopped precisely because they couldn’t stomach the supply chain ethics.
Sluggish?

It's near instantaneous at everything, except when it's doing network operations. It literally does a keyword stem search on a 4GB mailbox in under a 1/10 of a second. That's the fastest inverted index lookup I've ever seen - all accomplished with just sqlite. I consider it amazing. It makes the old version of Outlook look like a dog. A one legged dog. And the leg is broken.

As others have noted, as soon at it has to access the network it slows down. A lot. And it you queue up enough operations, it can get confused - particularly if the network drops out in the middle and it has to re-sync everything. But it is imap, so I forgive it.

To get it's native non-networked speed, you do have to ensure every folder is downloaded to local storage. Do that, and it's amazingly quick.
Are there restrictions against running it on a more powerful arm64 server?
It’s an interesting approach. Using proven correct code written in Dafny and testing it against the same code written in Rust.

Agreed - Ansible was for a time when people were SSH’ing into boxes and installing stuff and it’s great at that. Jeff still does a lot of that with all his self hosted projects on his home network. Deploying containers and using declarative tools like terraform is much more suitable for keeping cloud infrastructure in sync with your desired state.

You are reintroducing group guilt concepts, discussed higher in this thread. Groups do not have guilt, individuals do. When someone is wronged by a corporation, that is an individual.

If you remain attracted to group guilt as being valid, some thought games. Does someone white who migrates to america thereby adopt guilt for wrongs? Does that person become liable due to the move? What about someone black who migrates? What about their child? Should the child be guilty or half guilty? Should the tax system be adjusted to compensate? What about descendants of former slave owners who are not american citizens? What if their parent was disinherited along the way? How about for gender issues? Does a man inherit responsibility for past wrongs done to women?

If you accept group guilt or intergenerational guilt you are constructing a cast society, where people are defined by their lineage and physical characteristics, rather their actions as an individual. This entrenches social divisions and undermines individual agency and freedom. Western culture, nations and law are grounded in individual responsibility not group identity and are the better for it.
That only marginally improves asset streaming performance. Both CPU RAM and a pcie x16 slot have much more bandwidth than any nvme drive will (which is only x4 pcie, after all, even ignoring the limitations of the NAND flash & controller itself) so that extra memcopy isn't significant. And has absolutely no impact whatsoever on general VRAM usage as was claimed anyway.

Also you don't have to load it to system RAM first. DirectStorage exists (kinda)
That's true but it all depends on what happens to govt and corporate wonderland going forward.

They define what output the school produces to meet THEIR needs. The students needs are secondary. If chat GPT or whatever meets their (mostly mindless) needs the incentive to fund schools reduces.
>Western society promotes the propaganda that nothing is worth doing unless you are being paid for it.

I don't find this to be the case. Many people in my circle of friends see earning money as a means to an end. Hobbies and charitable works are held in high esteem.

I spend a good amount of time "working" on Church activities that have no financial benefit to me. Often times they consume funds not generate them.
