To clarify, he was convicted after organizing an official event with ambassadors from various countries to claiming the Brazilian electoral system was fraudulent. This discourse was usual throughout his term. He repeatedly claimed to have evidence, but never presented any. We now know that there was a plot for a coup [1], which failed to materialize due to a lack of support from a section of the military. Even though the superior courts have a political nature, Bolsonaro went against the law in an attempt to overtake the political system. The same way a murder trial is a crime, a coup trial also is. Today is a big day for Brazilian democracy!

One of the biggest lessons Van Gogh taught us is that social status can be an extremely poor representation of merit.

We can walk down the street proud in our suits and high standing, while any beggar on the street might be a Van Gogh (discovered, or not), capable of things we cannot dream of.
Of course there are many different things that can aid or hurt innovation. I believe that one of the things that aids innovation is accessibility to a wide spread of developers of all ages, so measures that make this more difficult hurt innovation.
Totally agree.

Love Xiaomi products, for example, but they realease so many phones per year that it feels like they never have time to polish them.

They might release like 30 different phones in a year!
So Lula was disqualified by being in prison. Then the courts decided to release him and remove his conviction- on very specious grounds. Now they’re removing his main opposition.

Wouldn’t it be easier to just cancel the election and choose the President themselves?
If someone wants to make an accusation of voter fraud, that accusation needs to go in front of the courts. Either it's true, and the state has committed a crime, and some people need to go to jail. Or it's false, and the person made the accusation cynically, recklessly damaging democracy, which should be a serious crime akin to defamation, and the accuser needs to go to jail. There's a third possibility, which is that the person made the allegation in good faith even though the allegation is false. But it should be up to the courts to figure it out. Because trial by media where someone can make false allegations freely -- far more damaging and evil than defamation towards a single individual, yet somehow not a crime even if the claims are lies -- is clearly not working.
I saw a really good one the other day: push notifications from BrowserStack when it’s about to shut down an instance due to inactivity. It was really nice to get notified of that without having to switch tabs or keep it in the foreground.
Anyone who believes themselves exempt from the laws of a country they travel to because of a little booklet they carry isn't just unaware, they are foolish, and dangerously so because they not only endanger themselves, but everyone else they convince to adopt this attitude.

To be completely fair, FOSS' marketing budget is orders of magnitude smaller than these corporation's budgets. Not to say that you're wrong but I suspect that's more like a drop in the bucket compared to marketing.

They used it improperly then. Racket is used for the first year intro CS courses at my school. They do not use the full language! They use the beginning student [1] and intermediate student [2] versions of the language.

These are highly restricted teaching versions of Racket which do not include the vast majority of the language features. They also use beginner friendly names such as first and rest instead of the cryptic car and cdr. These languages allow students to learn functional programming and basic concepts such as recursion, linked lists, association lists, higher order functions, trees, and graphs without worrying about programming language details such as side effects, fixed size numeric types, memory allocation, pointers, macros, compilers, etc.

For that purpose, Racket seems pretty hard to beat! For the professors, it also has the (nice) side effect that many students with previous programming experience are less likely to have learned Racket (or any functional language for that matter). This has been argued to put the students with and without programming experience on a more equal footing.

Locksmiths, plumbing, electricians and other services in any major city are plagued by people whose actual business model is setting up a website, CRM system and pipeline to sell "hot leads" to shady trunk slammer type contractors. It's trivially easy to have a phone number that looks like it belongs to the area code for (your city here) but goes to a call center offshore. It's a whole well documented phenomenon.
Yeah, I initially tried that actually. They have very low resolution data and do not provide raw trades/quotes (something like a message every 250ms), you cannot watch the entire market so you're stuck with like 100 tickers [1] vs 5500 tickers, and fetching historical data is very cumbersome. You can basically pull down pre-aggregated candlestick data and I wanted to base things off the raw trades/quotes. I actually probably spend a month or two trying to make this work. So, that's why I'm using polygon.io in that you can stream trades/quotes for the entire stock market in real-time, without any caps, which is amazing!

Life lesson: don't waste 7 years of your life and and personal growth on some weird fringe language, you will not get them back. It can pay off to make a serious commitment to a non-mainstream technology, but basically only if it allows you to do some very concrete things that give you a big competitive advantage and that you could not reasonably achieve otherwise. Or if you are both unusually good at predicting the next hot thing, and the timescales are short enough. Racket is not a good bet in either regard (even if it's a great language to learn certain concepts).

All the lost productivity the poster is bemoaning could have gone into mastering hard and useful skills instead and these things compound.

Brazil has one supreme court (STF).

The other two are superior courts, but they don't rule constitutional matters.

The reasons were (you can confirm by clicking on the link above):

Security and Secrecy of the Vote: The court argued that the printed vote would not maintain the current standard of security provided by exclusively electronic voting. The paper trail could potentially pose a risk to the secrecy of the vote, with the possibility of identifying which voter chose which candidate. This could threaten the free choice of the voters.

[I find this argument ridiculous to be honest. The paper trail is anonymous and there's no way it violates the secrecy of the vote]

Operational Difficulties and Costs: The court also noted the significant difficulties and high costs associated with implementing a paper trail. They argued that the potential benefits associated with the security of the electoral process were minuscule compared to the detriments stemming from the implementation of the measure.

Rapid Implementation: The court deemed that the law, which called for the immediate implementation of the paper trail in 2018, failed to consider the necessary time and resources for proper setup.

[For a country the size of Brazil, the 1 billion BRL (200 million USD) is actually cheap if it avoids the political distrust that the current e-voting system has - see what happened in January 8th with the invasion of Congress and the Supreme Court].

I dunno. I think every brand wants to spam me 100x more than I want to be spammed.

There is little appreciation in the industry for how people feel about this. I think the very idea of Pocket in Firefox drives a lot of people crazy, not because it is bad, but we are so used to vendors harassing us with crap products we just don’t want. Had they called it “Firefox Super Bookmarks” or something like that and not introduced a new off-brand they might have bypassed our defenses and we might have used it and liked it.

Microsoft schools us all by destroying very good products (OneNote before it went 100% cloud) by trying to shove it under our fingernails (three taskbar icons, added as a “printer”, etc.). Trouble is it normalizes this behavior for the rest of the industry which doesn’t see the value destruction Microsoft creates for itself since Windows and Office survive despite it all.

What’s “unclear”? A modern web browser wouldn’t be any more performant than a safari is in 2023 on any pre-64 bit iOS device.

Not that 32-bit or 64-bit by itself makes a difference. But the devices were dreadfully slow and RAM constrained by todays standards.

Which modern browser engine do you real think would work decently on such a device?

Besides that, no pre- 2012 iOS devices supported 4G and the carriers are dropping 3G support completely in the US by the end of the year.

Apple hasn’t abandoned any 64 bit post 2013 device yet. It reduced a security update for the iPhone 5s this year.
How do you make sure these people don’t take money and vanish?

You tell them half payment before and half after? Then they leave with half and don’t do shit.

You say well I’m going to pay you all after job is done. Well they say fuck you, pay half now or we are not lifting a finger you want something from us not that we want anything from you.

Oh how do you track them down and beat them up if they are gone with your half payment? You hire next batch that do the same?

I have been asked (even recently) many times by upper management in various private companies, NPOs, and public industries alike to boost local visibility by submitting positive reviews to Yelp, Google, Foursquare, etc. recommending it as a place to work or talking up products/services offered. Often offered a reward for it, in some form or another.

Think of a clerk at your local EBT office submitting a 5 star Google review saying "Excellent customer service and low wait times, [your coworker here] was caring and compassionate, just make sure you schedule an appointment online to avoid the lines!" or "I've worked here for X years and I cannot say enough great things about how wonderful and caring everybody is! I love helping the undeserved in my community!"

Maybe it's a car repair shop doing the same. Maybe it's a fast food franchisee. Maybe it's a boutique store. It's definitely more than just Amazon or TripAdvisor reviews.

I intend to present this proposed rule to my current management and let them sweat, because just this week I was told it is "highly recommended to help offset the fake reviews". I understand the struggle, though. People leave shitty 1 star reviews for spiteful purposes all the time, and that can hurt a small business or encourage unnecessary community discontent.

I don't think there is any good solution on the SEO aspect, but I'm all for banning the scummy practices of astroturfing.

Your questions are not well founded. You're both asking for people to compare two things that aren't comparable _and_ you're admonishing people not to explain why they're not comparable.
Twitter has now endured Instagram levels of enshittification. It has been a crappy product since the mid 2010s, but at least it was minimally usable back then.
I don't know the contents of the calls, but if the call is talking about someone armed keeping someone in the house, or someone barricading themselves, swat is the correct response.

I think this is just a symptom of having so many weapons around, getting calls about dangerous gun owners is routine and resorting to swat is more "routine" than anywhere else.
Posting Russian propaganda is cringe, and sharing it is, too.

Russia wiped out any gains they faced from this conflict after the initial push failed to steamroll Kyiv. By utilizing their armed forces against a conventional military capable of mounting anything more than an insurgency, Russia tipped their hand and let everybody know the military prowess the world had assumed they had was smoke and mirrors.

Russia lost any chance of victory once the US decided to start offering overt aid. The US's military-industrial complex, without even wartime level ramp-up, has demonstrated the ability to keep Ukraine well enough equipped to maintain technological superiority indefinitely. Meanwhile Russia is raiding museums.

The best case scenario for Russia at this point is to use their ability to prolong the conflict as a bargaining chip, possibly to keep control of Crimea. Meanwhile, the US gets an ally spitting distance from Moscow, and Russia is humiliated on the world stage. In the worst case, infighting within Moscow shatters Russia into a pile of disorganized warlord states.

That's, of course, assuming the war remains conventional. If, as the author of this insipid piece suggests, a losing Moscow resorts to nuclear combat...

Everybody dies. Moscow can't risk the US interpreting their nuclear strike on Ukraine as provocation of a first (second? eh) strike, so they would have to preemptively target the US. The US knows this so they would be firing everything we've got to try and knock out Russia's ability to retaliate. And we wouldn't just be hitting Russia. US doctrine says that in nuclear war, we target everybody who poses a threat. Millions of uninvolved Chinese would die. It's a shit show all around.

Which is why it's a ridiculous farce of a scenario. Russia knows they lose a nuclear war, and they lose it far worse than "Oh, Moscow and its surrounding land are now a minor country", they lose it in a "Everything and everybody we ever cared about dies in nuclear fire" sort of way.
The have only called 911 twice, once when a neighbor was waving a pistol around yelling at his wife (cops came, de-escalated things a little, then left - better than shooting someone clearly, if not exactly perfect). The other time I saw smoke pouring out from under the eaves of the house across the street - in that case, the firefighters roared up, jumped out, and busted in my front door (in spite of the fact there wasn't any smoke or flames) so I clearly see why people are worried about first responders charging in without understanding the situation.

> The alternative is that police come into a scenario potentially unequipped to handle an actual violent situation.

Police are now trained to treat EVERY situation as potentially violent, no matter how innocuous or factually safe. They assume everyone they interact with is a lethal threat.

> I think the real solution is that SWAT teams need to be especially trained on the fact that swatting is a thing, and to try to recognize when they're in a swatting incident.

That would require humility, which police don't have, because again they are trained to immediately escalate and use violence to control every situation.
I highly recommend Nebula. Not only is it adfree and sponsor free, it’s also much more curated than YouTube so the odds of finding good quality videos there are very high.

Plus I paid for the lifetime subscription there so … no subscription for me.
I've loved Pocket as well, but I didn't like paying $45 a year for it. It was more of a bookmarking service for me than an actual read-it-later site. Now that I've found Raindrop.io, which works fine for me on the free tier, I can save a little money and have better organization than Pocket gave me.
After listening to the oral arguments , it'll be interesting to see how the court Justified this. In general I agree with the current quartz decisions and personally opposed that forgiveness, but this case seems like it was an uphill battle for those against forgiveness.

Congress appeared to give stupidly Broad powers to the executive in the pandemic Heroes Act. Of course it seems like a stretch to consider someone who got student debt 20 years ago and is making good money a hero of the pandemic deserving relief, but it seemed to be allowed in the order

From a simple technical perspective, it seems like something like a more targeted amber alert would be feasible.

Is this one of those fabled edge compute use cases?
The model of shouting in your face, of course. And not only that, but also $subj.
Surely there’s a level at which the market is price saturated. As in, marginally, a homes value can’t increase as rapidly zoned as a single family home as it could if it were zoned less restrictively. This would be based on overall location desirability I would think. I wonder if there have been any studies done on this topic.
This will solve itself with whisper-based AI swatting. You won't be able to tell who it was or where it came from and we'll get authenticated phone calls at some point.
This is somewhat pedantic. With this logic, you could say that the purpose of a car is to get somewhere, and therefore the optimal speed is c.

But that would be a completely useless thing to say, because we can’t get your Camry to c. There is a whole system of tradeoffs that we all know exists.

Google could easily lower ”bad things” to 0 by shutting down tomorrow. The government could easily eliminate racism by nuking everyone. None of those are interesting or intellectually stimulating discussions.

“Optimal” is different than “perfect”. Everyone else here is talking about it from a system view.
Yes, less than 41% but they are under 25. It's reasonable to believe that many more from their generation will own a place where they live in the next 15 years.
Police don't just go in guns blazing with their eyes closed. It's a very high-pressure situation because police are running in fully expecting to get shot at. They don't know if they're going to end up in a situation like [1] or if this is just a prank.

In the end it's a really crappy situation for everyone. Police have to be super alert and are likely jumpy because they expect to be shot dead if they aren't the first to pull the trigger.

Personally I don't really blame the police. Rather I blame the phone industry for giving these callers way too much anonymity. It should be trivial to trace a 911 call to a real paying phone customer. That would make swatting a lot less attractive (assuming it carried a very heavy punishment too).

> How do they and you know this, when even the Federal Reserve doesn't have a clue?

I think the Fed does know this. I’m not going to go into the nuts and bolts of my hypothesis, but the basis is that continually dropping rates for 40 years has been equivalent to putting the economy on stimulants and it started causing things to break starting in 2000 and continuing to today. It has forced an inflection point in the Fed’s policy, and rates will likely trend upward for at least the next few decades to stabilize things. If they decide to drop back to zero, expect even more fundamental breakage including further spiraling inflation as well as social unrest due to a larger wealth gap and further political polarization. At the moment, Jerome Powell is truly the most powerful man in the world.

Election day is open to oversight from all political parties. All parties send their people (identified with badges, previously registered with the voting authority) and they have free access to all voting locations.

At the end of the day, the bag of paper votes is transported with their oversight (multiple parties from opposing sides) to a public place where all of them will count the papers, together, in a public session, with cameras.

It's actually what already happens when the e-voting machines fail and your backup also fails. You cast votes with paper and the votes are counted with this exact same process, with oversight from all parties.
Hyprland, which I believe is based on Sway but I’m not sure.

Either way, most of the problems I’ve been having do not seem to be implementation specific, and instead stem from buggy usage of the protocol. It’s no secret that Electron’s wayland support is an ongoing problem, for instance.
