Far enough down the threat model rabbit hole the real solution is just ditch the phone if you're doing anything mildly antigovernment. That at least forces them to do a bit more work to spy on you.

That's always one of the big issues in opsec/security discussions, we can always imagine a more motivated or well funded attacker but the likelihood of those being deployed against you change with the difficulty of implementing those methods.

You could view a tweet if linked to it, but it would limit your ability to view a feed or navigate elsewhere. Which is similar to instagram, but insta is more aggressive with stopping you, whereas twitter gave a slightly larger grace period.

Twitter removed that behavior under Elon, then developed something even more restrictive. Great.

Neither are good, and unfortunate that tumblr has recently ish copied this (for default css at least). Real shithead behavior.

Unfortunately, Facebook looks the best out of all of them. If a restaurant posts their specials on Facebook, I can see them. Basically not true for other social sites.
Like typical self-help blogs, the article is oversimplified and does not provide a balanced analysis of the ideas presented. Disappointing really.
At that time 2.7 btc was about US$ 25k. If the exchange defaulted and went bust over a $25k payout they were a pretty sad crypto exchange.
Stocks are down because we filled too many jobs and not enough people are unemployed.

oh god, when I worked for a small telecom in the midwest they heavily used the 3Com switches. They were the bane of my existance, things would power loop, or my favorite, continue to work but prevent any sort of access to them.
>Given Apple and Google have the ability to record every word you say(maybe not store it for 300M people, but they can certainly filter it for specific words that could begin recording once triggered... "Hey Google/Siri/Alexa/Cortana"), the issue is that we don't want the US government doing it, but private companies can? Heck if you buy any IOT device with a mic, you should give up any idea you have privacy.

Isn't all that optional though? If I don't use gmail or apple's services, I'm essentially opting out. Also to this sibling reply, when was the last time Apple broke down someone's door, threatened to kill them, threw them on the ground, beat them up and tased them?

>If you are asking if we should spend less on spying, sure, but that could be my ignorant teens when I was an anarchist talking.

You're deeming the desire for privacy as anarchism? What a warped sense of perspective that is. When I was in my teens, we actually had privacy, because that time period was before 9/11. Perhaps you're just accustomed to being spied on and you're experiencing Stockholm syndrome.
I am in-between - so, the way I used instructions was for ideas on how things could be put together that were "non-obvious".

I would build it once, then play with that model for a bit, then deconstruct it, put it into my box of loose LEGO and then build whatever I wanted - sometimes it would look similar, but it was never the same way twice.

I fail to understand expensive sets that get built and sit on shelves or in glass enclosures... Might as well break out the Kragle (I think many people failed to see the point of that movie...)
lol why is this being downvoted? This is the truth.

Like I have a Saturn and love it, but I bought it in Japan to play shmups, which are not a popular genre or sales darling.

Was the mainstream market interested in shmups or JRPGs (neither of which Sega of America brought over?) no.

The kids wanted Mario 64, Mario Kart and [insert your favourite big 3D tentpole game from the Playstation side].

Sega had the misfortune of 1) being excellent at making a sort of arcade style game that was waning in popularity and 2) making a type of hardware that was excellent for 2D games that were becoming less popular.

The result is that they had a system that had lots of good games on paper, but which weren't the trendy rising stars the market was looking for.

If they'd made a 3D Sonic game near launch to keep the pace up after folks were done with Virtua Fighter maybe things would have been different, but that didn't happen.
But they said themselves that they pinged his phone.

The instant game streaming service I develop targets Unity (see https://appmana.com/watch/virtualtestdrive for an example) and I was considering supporting Godot. But it would probably make more sense to fix web exports.

Other than time and money, what obstacles did you face contributing a web export fix for Godot? I am not saying that you should, but I'm sure it crossed your mind.

In the game services business, it's my opinion that in order to thrive, you target people who pay. Because Unity costs money, it attracts developers who pay. It's the halo effect. I wonder how the Godot ecosystem attracts developers who pay.
Here's an even more interesting physics brain teaser: Imagine you put a reverse osmosis membrane at the bottom of the ocean and connected it to a pipe filled with fresh water leading to the surface. The pressure at the bottom of the pipe would be less than the pressure at the bottom of the ocean, since fresh water weighs less than salt water.

In this setup, would an endless supply of fresh water flow through the membrane and bubble out the top of the pipe? I'm guessing not, but I'm having a hard time understanding why.
I think it's despicable that Hunter Biden had a position on the board of a company heavily involved with a foreign government that US foreign policy affects, while having no qualifications and while his father was vice president. Even though Joe biden's actions as VP toward Ukraine were consistent with foreign policy of the US and its allies, it still smacks of influence peddling. I would love to see a federal law prohibiting federal judges and federal elected officials families from serving on the boards of foreign operated companies.

That said,

It is insanely frustrating that people like the person you responding to come out of the woodwork to complain about aspects of the Biden presidency that pale in comparison to the obvious treason in misbehavior of the Trump presidency and of his family. It shows just how partisan people's mindsets are.
I landed on a "flexible OR" life. I've found that focusing on fewer things (OR) without being dogmatic (eating healthy can mean cake sometimes) brings me a lot more satisfaction than focusing on many things and not enjoying any of them fully.
No, that's my point.
Agreed, Adam Ragusea's podcast is great. I think it comes from his background in public radio production. To that end I like NPR podcasts a lot. They're good about using music, audio cues, different performers etc to separate information into digestible chunks.

On the other end of that scale are very information-dense podcasts that have transcripts. I like those a lot because I find I can read the transcript after listening (or vice versa) and I get more information retention than either just listening or just reading.

My example for this is Alie Ward's 'Ologies' wherein she interviews doctors and scientists about their work, there are many excellent transcripts available [0], including this one: [1]

Not to comment on your friend's situation, I just feel it's worth noting for passersby and posterity that there is nothing necessarily irrational about choosing less lucrative employment if it aligns better with one's value system.

At this point, they don't even need to brainwash anybody - they will just 49/3'd the law and say "xxxx it" to the parliament.
I'm in my early forties but I still grew up with instructions and sets. Usually I'd assemble a set and probably learn a thing or two along the way, then I'd tear the sets down and build stuff myself.

As a father of three, that's exactly how I see my kids using the sets today. The sets get built once, then they get torn down and the bricks get reused.
Ah, so you have no clue what I said. Thanks for clarifying, makes it easy to dismiss your emotional outbursts as such.

Let me know if you figure out what my argument was, and maybe we can discuss, but it honestly seems out of your grasp at the present moment, given how focused you are on "winning Internet points".
Seems much more likely that his sister knew the friend, and suggested he might be there? Or there was some relation to the friend to know the exact address. Unless he lived at a single-family house, it's unlikely a phone's GPS would be exact enough.
You wrote a huge post but still did not address my argument. Any task based AI that is not necessarily conscious can just upload itself on many computers trivially. You agree that unplugging it is hilariously naive? Instead you talk about the possibility of biological superintelligence and other stuff that I do not mention. Lastly, you mock the argument that people vastly more accomplished think is our biggest issue humanity faces. That's a pretty big ego, big wolf.

I liked Lévy's insistence on human rights but he became an ideological crusader.

this depends on the rates. with high interest rates, if they have bad credit and get a rate 7% or higher for a mortgage, it may be better to put more down. historical average is 7% over. long period of time (30 years). if OP thinks refinancing into a low rate isn't an option 10 years from now, lower mortgage may be the way to go
While this is true and I think most VCs are idiots, there is a natural phenomenon of the internet which allows for exponential growth and which means that startup = growth is a very real thing. What VCs and a lot of startups try and do is fake the actual utility of a product through forced marketing and Glamour.
A narrowly tailored prohibition on specific speech aimed at specific government officials may be permissable in some cases. This injunction is carelessly worded to apply to millions of people and to preclude essentially all communications related to "protected free speech". The breadth and vagueness is specifically what I'm objecting to.
> This all seems cobbled together and very prone to failures.

AFAIK it's not like FastMail has a crazy number of network-related outages, so overall it doesn't seem that "prone to failure". As with many things, it's a trade-off with complexity and costs.

I started with 70s-80s British heavy metal when I was 14, and in the past 20 years my music tastes have only been expanding. Most people I hang out with also tend to be curious about new (unfamiliar to them) music.
Oh man, this sent me down a trip to memory lane. I had a lot of the Spyrius set as a little kid, and I loved them to bits. I just looked up how much they'd cost to buy them again, and they're like $1000 a pop :o
My own take:

Some people want to play with playsets. Some people want to display models. Some people want to create art. Some people want to construct machines. Some people want to assert allegiance. Some people want to collect.

All of these aims are valid. The diversity of ways to buy LEGO supports them all, while maintaining a high-quality, largely compatible, reasonably consistent medium.
Their expectation of neutrality probably stems from the word 'journalism'. I'd say that the expectation of neutral journalism is a (commonish) fallacy, though.

Unbiased, neutral, objective reporting is a great ideal and aspiration for those who fancy themselves journalists. But that doesn't mean it could be 100% achieved. The very nature of reporting means that you need to make editorial decisions about which stories are newsworthy and salient. We probably don't need to know how many hairs were on the Senator's head as he gave his speech. Different people will make different choices about which details are important and those choices will inevitably be colored/informed by the things that're important to those making the editorial choices.

As much as it'd be nice if we could somehow fix it, bias affects everything. Even institutions which we hold sacred like education, jurisprudence, science, statesmanship, etc. are all irrevocably tainted. What's especially interesting about the media, though, is that it comes with a megaphone.

The medium is the message: "The most trusted name in news", "Fair and Balanced". Where the self-promotion is repeated often enough, it's particularly easy for people start believing it--at least about their favored side. Every other outlet produces nothing but salacious, yellow, muckraking tabloid-esque sound-bites but 'journalism' is as pure as the wind-driven snow.

You can't apply the term 'journalism' to a real, human organization unless it's one of the organizations that I like. Otherwise, you're implying neutrality where none exists.
> They have been reducing the force for 15 years (especially the forces that investigated financial and workplace crimes)

IMO the real value of a high leverage mortgage is that you can buy sooner.

Saving even 20% ($100k) could take many people 5 years. so saving 60% would take 15. Part of the trade off is life momentum. We can't be spending 15 years with life goals/dreams on hold, renting means a lot of moving, being subject to landlords' whims, and generally being treated as commodity cattle for profit.
And not just the tap water. Eating a fish meal out of the Mississippi in Minnesota (by 3M) will give you a month's worth of PFOS if you were just drinking contaminated tap water.

It's a real shame because the Mississippi mercury levels were finally down enough to eat fish.
Perhaps your hindsight is selective. After HTTP/HTML and related technologies such as JavaScript have become hugely successful following this principle, it's easy to look back and say "the technology stack which beat all others and became ubiquitous is now hard to develop against because it's too permissive".

The graphs in the article don't support the text of the article or the headline.

Peak job quitting rate was briefly 4.5M (it was above 4.1M for 12 of 26 months), but has been closer to 4.0M during the "great resignation". It is currently 4.0M, so within rounding error of median. It was at about 3.5M for the second half of 2020, where the graphs start.

Open jobs are at 10M off a peak of 12M vs. 6.8M at the beginning of their graph.

They don't report pre-pandemic numbers, but the graphs suggest the market is significantly hotter than it was in 2020, with no clear trend in recent months.
I personally agree about the whole point of Lego being free form building - and I still have some Lego magazines from the days when that was explicitly encouraged by Lego - but you need kits and instructions to get to the point where you can do free form building. It's like composing music, you're going to have a very difficult time of it if you don't first study a whole lot of existing, well-constructed music.
They may have done both. Or they may be lying. In most cases it's best to assume that the police won't give you any info unless they are compelled to do so (and sometimes not even then).
I might imagine that this is a good example of it not truly "understanding" what it is saying, but saying the statistically most likely thing.
You don't exactly sound like the type of person who would have needed convincing that atheism is not "a serious hypothesis". So are you really someone who can declare that with any credibility?

This also feels like terminology nitpicking. Plenty of scientists are agnostic instead of explicitly atheists, but they tend to be just as unreligious.

Speech is similar to our criminal system. When you're accused of a crime, you're innocent until proven guilty. And anything you say is "protected" unless it falls into one of an extremely narrow range of exceptions. And those exceptions are actual crimes, not just 'silently censor and move on' type stuff. So the injunction basically comes down to 'stop doing unconstitutional things' while offering a list of things that are obviously unconstitutional, and a list of things that are obviously fine.

So e.g. "urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner social-media companies to change their guidelines for removing, deleting, suppressing, or reducing content containing protected free speech" is obviously unconstitutional. By contrast, "informing social-media companies of postings involving criminal activity or criminal conspiracies" is obviously perfectly constitutional.

> If the code you write is uncovering bugs in compiler, you literally are too smart for your own good.

Nah, it can happen through sheer chance. I remember hitting a compiler bug when I was young (the only time I hit a compiler bug). I was certainly not particularly smart, just unlucky.

The interesting thing is that it had been drilled into me that "it's never a compiler bug" and so I banged my head against that wall for a couple of weeks before a more experienced programmer took interest and showed that it was actually a compiler bug.
Is it on topic though? Putting "yet" at the beginning of their comment suggests they think they are refuting the assertion in the article, which would be absolutely incorrect.
I do understand your point but that rings as sort of a tautological question to me? Either don't claim this time 100% for audio content or just think at some other time.

Unless it doesn't, of course. Viewed from this perspective, putting more cash down so as to lower your mortgage is effectively an investment with a guaranteed X% return, where X% is the interest rate on your mortgage.

I realise that on average the index fund is likely to outperform it over the long run, but a lot will depend on your attitude to risk.

If you're delivering more value than they pay you, why would they? They're literally profiting by keeping you, and losing by not. Sure they could marginally employ another person for even more profit, but save for network effects like cost of communication or layers of management there's little reason to remove a net highly productive person.

They're also constantly changing the game you paid for by adding massive amounts of content. When you get GTA Online, you know it's an evolving experience.

It's not a static game you pay once for and then expect to remain the same.

The article specifies paid holidays, so it wouldn't make it more difficult to make rent. But I agree that business will do what they can to avoid that, and hire only part-timers like you said. There could be laws introduced to help counter that though.

Edit: oops, the article actually doesn't seem to specify paid or not. I'm also guessing the author is used to working salaried positions and not hourly.
It's quite silly in hindsight how we invent false choices (I am A XOR B) to "escape" the daily responsibility of real decisions, i.e. whether to spend this moment working on A or B.
