I immediately think about what motivation China would have to do or not do something like this. As they get shut out of semiconductor technology and don’t actually have any real control over Taiwan, it seems like there is no downside other than not wanting to get caught.
Real estate for normal housing is definitely not a high pressure sales job.
> the private fibre line bypasses it entirely

Well, I'm sure the Chinese are tapping it. ;-)

Its more that they are just not actively acting on the content.
> but if you use it a bit more than a personal (or a business individual) account you are on the shallow grounds

What do you mean by "a bit more"? Do you mean using them as a SMTP relay? Having many email addresses and users under one account? Sending a lot of handwritten emails? Or something else?
This issue is what led me to the Espro instead.
Or maybe the lesson is that we should stop reporting valuations made up by VCs that have strong incentives to pump up their portfolios?
>BOTW and TOTK are two of the highest rated games of all time.

This was mentioned as a backscratching thing.
Sure, but the more links in the chain, the more control you need in order to prove the causative agent. In the absence of direct experimental evidence (give animals aspartame, they get cancer, which we haven't seen), you need to rely on huge observational studies. And these are exactly where you run into all kinds of confounders, like

Patient has standard American diet and is overweight but not obese -> that leads to sleep apnea -> chronically tired -> they develop a diet Coke habit -> slight increase in cancer risk. What's causing the cancer here, the diet, the adiposity, the sleep apnea, the lack of quality sleep, the soda itself, the effect of soda on teeth leading to gingival inflammation, or the aspartame in the soda?

I gguess he meant glass as container and Al/paper for covers, otherwise it doesn't make sense. Al foodware was removed from all school canteens decades ago where I live, that shit ain't touching my food.

Also, glass is heavy, so impractical for many uses. But yes seems largely inert unless you expose it to some weird fluorides (Things I won't work with series).

In general. But less durable from physical shock (not temperature shock) than tempered soda lime glass which is what new pyrex is.
Browsers didn't push for DoH because they wanted to be the target for censorship demands, they pushed because DNS manipulation by everyone from governments and ISPs to a ton of middlebox vendors got out of hand - DNS ossified particularly because of the latter - and on top of that because DNS was cleartext and leaked metadata to everyone able to install a sniffer along the path.
> There is room for exponential growth in housing

It sounds like you're saying that we could build more supply. Okay, but we haven't yet, so we're at a limit until we do.
Eh. If your head is out of the water you’re doing more of a doggy paddle than a front crawl, caveats to water polo players. I would say that is an entirely different way to swim.

“Freestyle” is whatever you want, although people generally will choose front crawl for almost every situation*

Edit: to clarify, if you’re not rotating your shoulders and are doing a doggy paddle, you’re going to be moving so inefficiently that you’ll probably drown over a short distance if you cannot rest. That’s barely “swimming”. And is a far cry from amateur bowling and tennis imo.
With this logic we should also exclude prices of cars, computers because that’s also an asset that you can just rent rather than own.

Houses used to be included few decades ago in inflation calculation - this sounds more like trying to hide how much price increases.

Similar things happen in taxation. In EU in many countries you have Brutto salaries that includes employee contribution for healthcare, but most people don’t know that employer on top of that pays also another half.

So when people calculate their after tax salary they thing that only 35% is tax when in real life it’s 45%. Include VAT, duty tax, excise and easily you pay 60% taxes.

If politicians would make this clear with just one single 60% tax most people would be furious and go to street - that’s why they are using this salami strategy.
I have been living in Brussels for last 10 years and have had no such issues.

Au contraire, I go to the doctor and get medication so easily prescribed that I'm afraid the doctor is to nonchalant ... (and always without an appointment, maybe sometimes 20 min wait)

> if people get a mortgage loan at 6% and inflation is running at 4%

Here's a fun thought experiment - ask yourself what happens if the Fed drops interest rates to -1000%, and home prices & equities go basically to infinity...

Anyone who owned equities or houses before the interest rate move is set for life, anyone who didn't lost basically all of their savings.

It's interesting how many people try to explain away this with Fed-speak and pretend it doesn't matter.
I mean, what we're in fact seeing with GPT-3 and -4 is that people autonomously persuade themselves to let AI out of boxes with only bare token effort on the part of the AI.

I just opened it up and found a fun bit during Melanie Mitchell's opener: https://youtu.be/144uOfr4SYA?t=2116

Paraphrasing:

> Yoshua Bengio has written about a scenario where an AI is asked to solve climate change, and it designs a virus that decimates humans. Presto. No more humans, no more climate change.

> This is an example of the fallacy of dumb superintelligence. It's a fallacy to think that a machine could be smarter than humans in all respects and still lack all common-sense understanding of humans, such as understanding why we made the request and that we prefer not to be wiped out... We would never give unchecked autonomy and resources to an AI that lacked these basic aspects of intelligence - it just does not make sense.
No one said ever that x86 based Mac laptops had great battery life or ran cool.
An intelligent leader would have found a solution that aligned incentives between the company and its users/customers and communicated it in a way that most rational users/customers would accept. I'm a sample size of one, but the freedom to choose my client and maybe some smaller perks would have converted me from a long time free user to a premium user assuming the price was reasonable. Instead it converted me from a free user to a non-user.
This is a bad interpretation of the argument. Obviously they meant that other creatures can feed themselves not that they derived their nourishment from light and raw chemicals. Asexual reproduction does not require a partner by definition and would be the default for such a system but even that is beside the point since we control the means required for both.
You are not supposed to keep it in the bank, unless you are keeping it in a high-yield account (NOT even a CD, an account you can still use), which will get you 4% on $25,000+ such as US Bank.

You could also have it in the market. Neither will dramatically beat inflation, but they will beat it.

The debatable part here is the merits of pretty much having to understand finance to not lose money all the time is a separate topic. I am in IT and always thought my finance/stats degrees were a complete joke, but it helps to have an intuitive understanding of this stuff not to get **ed by the basics.
I don't like Bill Gates, and I don't believe that he only associated with Jeffrey Epstein to discuss philanthropy. But, honestly, this article feels like a stretch. They contracted a third party company to do security checks, and that third party appears not to have been good enough to know what was legal to ask job candidates. That's indicative of a poor management practice for hiring that third party, perhaps, but the headline makes it sound like they were trying to find women who would have sex with Gates, which does not appear to have been remotely the case here. "Gates's office hired poorly run company to do security checks on job candidates" is not as likely to get clicks, but it sounds like a more accurate description of what was going on here.

Because the calculation that governs the ability to make the monthly payments is heavily influenced by the interest rate on the mortgage. House prices are set by the marginal buyer and the marginal buyer is taking a mortgage.
This is what I have a question about.

Can China pressure every domestic company to use their certificate authority allowing them to decrypt all TLS traffic, or be blocked? And block all sites outside China?
> Job losses have to come first

Not necessarily. New supply can come online. Or people can decide to wait to buy a home.

Job losses are required to lower home prices only if supply stays fixed and demand is inelastic, i.e. consumers have a compulsion to buy homes irrespective of price.

In other news bananas don't work well as cars. I love my Apple products but you really need to know which device is best for which job. A M2 iPad Air 12.9" and a M2 MacBook Air 13" are the /same price/. I cannot fathom why you would think an iPad is a serious programming/development platform, it just isn't and there isn't anyone saying it is. Yes you can develop "on it" (normally by SSH-ing elsewhere) but it just doesn't work well in that role.

Again, I own just about every product Apple has put out but when I'm on an iPad it's consumption/gaming device, if I want to do anything serious at all (even replying to a comment where I might want to list my sources) I pull out my MacBook, it's just heads and shoulders better at basic shit like copy/paste/multi-app/multi-window.

The author seems to mention things that are close to it, but I could never write code on a machine that I don't have full terminal access (in a mostly unrestricted way) to. The idea that I can't have a terminal to access everything I need and now I have to be forced into a specific playground app is absolutely a dream killer. The fact that I'd need a separate development environment that I need to connect to over the internet to be able to have the computing flexibility/freedom that I _should_ have on my machine just means that that machine isn't good for development, for me, but probably for most devs.

Even Koenji seems to have lost its punk-indie edge over the 2010s, sadly. Wonder where the pockets of interesting and counter-culture are now.
I am not sure where you are located... I was on the Nothing Beta program and received a nothing 1 phone. I have been a longtime root-unjail-roll-your-own phone user. The Nothing is probably the most bloat-free in recent memory. Sure, the google apps (gmail, files, maps) are on it, and it comes with weather, but that seems to be it, and the rest you can easily uninstall without pain.
This is no longer true. Gen Z and late-stage Millenials are the first generation since WWII who are worse off than their parents. Education and housing have become completely unaffordable to them, and wages have been stagnant for decades.

Compounding interest doesn't mean crap when you have no wealth to receive interest from in the first place.
We decide as a country, the same way we decide that billionaires "deserve" large tax breaks. The way we decide to spend more on defense than our top 3 competitors combined. The way we decide to sell grazing, mineral, oil and gas rights for pennies on the dollar to companies seeking to "profit" off the natural resources of our country.

We elect representatives in Congress and the WH, who based on public opinion in the form of voters decide.
What formed your understanding? My understanding is that the opposite is true, I've read numerous articles to that effect, here's but one example:

https://www.visualcapitalist.com/charting-the-growing-genera...

One quote: "But the difference is as much in assets as it is in opportunity. In 1989, Baby Boomers and Generation X under 40 accounted for 13% of household wealth, compared to just 5.9% for Millennials and Generation Z under 40 in 2020."
Ahhh damn. Didn't know that.

Thanks for the heads up. :)

These are two different jobs.
There is no other brand on the planet with a consistent and comprehensive product lineup as Apple. Just going to apple.com, one can see everything the company does. On top of that they made $387B in revenue last year. That is more than the GDP of New Zealand, Hong Kong or Finland for example.

Their product lineup is so simple compared to competition, that it's often the easiest to recommend their products to tech illiterate population.

Almost all android and laptop manufacturers release so many products that the many choices making buying a product frustrating as if they are designed for the sale and not use.

iPhones are also really affordable when you factor in that you can sell them later for a decent value.

"A default LineageOS installation" as in "a device which is officially supported through https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/" is like that, indeed, and while most of the unofficial builds come with as -userdebug, no root, there's a high chance of encountering either a flaky build (permissive selinux) or having to fallback to a GSI build, some of them, and nowadays it means AndyCGYan's [0], come with optional root enabled.

As for backup: stock backup facilities (adb backup/restore) aren't exactly the best thing for sure, (rip Titanium Backup, Seedvault isn't even remotely there), and TWRP is broken on most of devices with modern encryption support (specifically, on Pixels). Coincidentally, Mediatek SoC based devices are the 'best' when talking about backup (as in: you can dump and clone all partitions through a built-in service mode [1]).

NatGeo was basically a middle-brow collection of interesting stuff. Not every article was interesting to you, maybe you like animals, maybe you liked maps, maybe you liked pictures of some tribe. You'd read the article that excited you and perhaps squeeze a bit of juice out of the rest of it.

Genuine question, why does it matter which version?
In practice, the description is universally considered to be html encoded. Everything is decoded. If you try to stick unencoded html in there it gets rendered as text. If you really don’t want to encode you can stick it in CDATA and it will just work per the xml spec. I’m trying to remember what the downside of this approach is - I think maybe it kept people from sticking unencoded ampersands in plain text or something.

But I think it’s worth noting that a cultural tradition emerged that papered over the flawed spec. I think that is actually pretty common with specs, even if the rss2 one is extra loose.

Maybe having a correct spec isn’t everything.
