1 and 4 have an incentive not to keep your data, munch it into AI/ML, sell it to advertisers, governments, anyone who asks.

2 and 3 have absolutely no incentive not to lose your data. When was the last time any company got seriously hurt by a data breach? Hell, even password managers lose data and keep chugging on.
Yes, the contract of String::equals: The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a String object that represents the same sequence of characters as this object.

The article constructs two String objects representing the same character sequence, for which however equals() returns false, in violation of the above-quoted contract.

Science is primarily a methodology, and secondarily a body of provisional knowledge discovered and tested via that methodology.

As non practitioners, if we trust in the methodology, then to some extent we have to take a shortcut and make decisions based on the consensus judgement of expert practitioners. And, unlike some religious people, accept we can never act in absolute certainty.
I'm really intrigued by the smart kerning idea. Are there any other monospace fonts that do this?
Perhaps you could host on twitter while stenographically hiding from twitter. Let them collect ad revenue for rendering ads in a headless browser to nonexistent users.

If you talk to a random person, they will say inflation since 2020 has been ~30%.

If you ask the government, its 15%.

The only way I can rationalize this is that CPI is a lagging number. But deep down, I know its a gamed number.
I have been holding that housing will never decrease in price since the big COVID spike, and it seems to be playing out.
I believe they are using https://readme.com/
The original title here is misleading the report shows a slow down in the inflation rate when looking at the 12 month index. This indicates a 4.8% rate (minus food and energy) compared to something like 5.2% in May.

Basically inflation is returning declining.
From the point of view of the actual customer: the brand advertiser, Threads is a safe bet while at the same time they might be calling Linda Yaccarino to ask "Are you OK?"

What Threads has accomplished is hard to diminish. They pushed an MVP stage thing out the door at it didn't fail. And then it didn't fail when 100 million people signed up without any need for invitations or throttling. That's unprecedented.

They have some things to navigate, like relationships with news providers. But that's not difficult because Twitter is so good at keeping them happy. It's difficult for reasons Meta can fix.
"Those YouTube videos" are made by scammers and cults, keep well away if you value yourself and your family. Life's just not like that.
Oof. You’re really underselling it. It’s more complex than you’re giving it credit for, I think - it’s not just a cynical “nothing means anything” kind of nihilism. Some of the characters hold a philosophy like that, but not all of them, and their ultimate fates don’t exactly suggest that Kundera is endorsing it. The book asks, even in the face of that kind of cynical and over-intellectualized view of the world, why and how do we try to find meaning in our lives regardless? I don’t see how by the end of it - which I’m bringing myself to tears just thinking about - you could believe that Kundera thinks that project is “pathetic”.

It’s also, of course, a very political novel in its depiction of life in the Soviet Bloc and of popular movements. It’s a very pointed critique of collectivism.
That’s nothing, I generally ignore it for months at a time

I'm pretty sure the last reported USA annual inflation figure was 4%.
Both Apple and Google will remove apps from their store if they access a 3rd party API without consent. Not to mention that if using non sanctioned APIs you will likely face lawsuits from whatever service you are implementing a 3rd party client for.
I don't think Linus is interested in merging ZFS.

> And honestly, there is no way I can merge any of the ZFS efforts until I get an official letter from Oracle that is signed by their main legal counsel or preferably by Larry Ellison himself that says that yes, it's ok to do so and treat the end result as GPL'd.

> Other people think it can be ok to merge ZFS code into the kernel and that the module interface makes it ok, and that's their decision. But considering Oracle's litigious nature, and the questions over licensing, there's no way I can feel safe in ever doing so.

I've never used any of them. I made a Facebook account years ago as it was required to log in to something else I needed, but I never did anything on Facebook proper. Never been on MySpace, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, or anything like that.
Science tells you there's a truth and gives you the methods to find it.

Religion says it's the truth, and wants you to follow it.

I'm reminded that a similar problem happened when Photoshop and scanners were new: people assumed that if they scanned something, it was theirs to do with as they pleased. Litigants were confused by the technology.

But eventually society caught up. It will soon become obvious even to those who now are dazzled by this new technology that everything produced by an AI trained on copyrighted work without permission is copyright infringement.

Quoting:

What happens if a gatekeeper ignores the rules?

To ensure the effectiveness of the new rules, the possibility of sanctions for non-compliance with the obligations is foreseen.

If a gatekeeper does not comply with the rules, the Commission can impose fines of up to 10% of the company's total worldwide annual turnover or 20% in the event of repeated infringements and periodic penalty payments of up to 5% of the company's total worldwide daily turnover.

That one was interesting, but seems to be missing some data about regional trains in Sweden. Even though commuter trains around Stockholm seem reasonably correct.
We've been gaslighted.
No. If the candidate spends four hours on a take-home it is basically a moral obligation that you give feedback.

The exchange is literally unbalanced here. You ask for four hours from the candidate. The candidate asks for 1 hour from you for feedback.

The candidate is also doing things on top of existing work to spend time and energy on a take-home.

There's no two ways about it. Morally it's the wrong thing to do.

> OpenZFS is free and open source but that license has been determined to NOT be GPL compatible by some lawyers.

Oh? And let me tell you there is more than a boat load of lawyers who disagree.

See the links on page you linked to (!): http://www.networkworld.com/article/2301697/smb/encouraging-...

> There is a bunch of explanations and legal opinions here.

Did you read the text of that page or any of the linked articles? The OpenZFS position is clear: "However, there is nothing in either license that prevents distributing it in the form of a binary module or in the form of source code."
Well - it depends on the topic really. And, not the fact a law exists in the US. A judgement in the US has no bearing on law in other countries, except where it is used to then set a presidency as others had said.

US law is actually different enough from some other countries that what is legal in the US is outright illegal, and vice versa. If you want some low hanging fruit - anything to do with guns, gender identity, abortion, liable/slander and "free" speech - many countries disagree and actively oppose the US stand point, on both sides of the US position. Another good example is anything granted in the US constitution is not a "God given right" outside of the US (which probably intersects with guns and free speech, maybe other things). US passing a law is not going to change that.

DMCA does not affect other countries - we have our own laws - some of which were put in place in line with the ideas that caused the DMCA, but some of which predate it. Also - "fair use" is a wholly US concept, and might not apply, depending on where you are located.
I would dispute the title. "How the design of Disney parks affects our perspective" should really be "How the design of Disney parks affects our perception of space"

There is no such thing as 'our' perspective any more than there is an 'our' laws of physics. Perspective is immutable. The perspective of now will be the same for everyone in one million years time.
I still have a collection of cherry-picked PS3 games I kept so that I could play them one day, upscaled and potentially at better performance than the PS3 was capable of.

Despite having hardware that could now play those better than a PS3 using this emulator, I can't get the games from the discs; When my OG 60GB PS3 died I disposed of it and got a slim, which also died, so I bought a new slim, which as far as I can tell now can't/hasn't been hacked, so there's no way to dump my disks.

I wasn't too lucky with PS3s to have had so many; I _still_ have my original childhood PS1, sold both my PS2s (OG and Satin Silver) to fund other purchases as a kid, gave away my PS4 to my nephew (who tore it down and couldn't reassemble it) when I got PS5. Same generation as PS3, my 360 also died.
I basically don’t even have to lift a finger. Once set up, everything just hums along. Security updates only.

I have very, very rare deliverability problems, maybe once every two years AT&T decides to block mails from my domain but I resolve it through their easy process.

I have the advantage of having done this for 15 or so years so my IP has some good reputation, but I don’t think IP reputation is really that huge or necessary. The first rule of self hosting Email is “never spam—not even once.” Follow that and you’re in good shape.
Depends where you are. Eurozone entered a technical recession (two consecutive quarters of declining GDP) in Q1 this year.
But, HDMI has multiple connectors too.

HDMI, Mini HDMI, Micro HDMI, USB HDMI Alt-mode and there are also some less popular ones.
We are not, and the H1 GDP growth was positive. Earliest for a recession call will be early 2024

Until Google and Microsoft decide they don't like your IP, or you missed a step in setting up the things you mentioned like SPF or DKIM. It is easy to stand up a mail server, but deliverability is still a challenge.
“The Joke” is absolutely special. I read it many years ago but still remember the feeling it evoked. Like being let into a gust of wind that carries the language

That's not unique to bcachefs; it's how transparent compression is implemented in every filesystem that implements it that I'm aware of (for example, I just checked NTFS, BTRFS and ZFS).
These companies:

Alphabet
Amazon
Apple
ByteDance
Meta
Microsoft
Samsung

Requirements:

They will no longer be able to lock in users in their ecosystem.

They will no longer be able to decide which apps you need to have pre-installed on your devices; which app store you have to use.

They will not be able to “self-preference”: exploiting the advantage of being the gatekeeper by treating their own products and services more favorably.

Their messaging apps will have to interoperate with others.
And from same source:

Will private damages be available to those harmed by gatekeeper conduct?

The DMA is a Regulation, containing precise obligations and prohibitions for the gatekeepers in scope, which can be enforced directly in national courts. This will facilitate direct actions for damages by those harmed by the conduct of non-complying gatekeepers.

So, let's take one example, SVD

- Mathematical foundations for principal component analysis

- Compression algorithms by removing lower-value singular values

- Original design for PageRank

- Kabsch algorithm / Wahba's problem

- Literal rocket science!

- Quantum information

Another one that blows my mind is the Gershgorin disk/circle theorem to bound the spectrum of a matrix.

Matrix analysis was where I fell in love with mathematics and it ceased to be a constant churn of copy pattern-do problem-repeat and I started to see the structures behind the curtain.
Labor? No. Corporate profits? Definitely. Can't really have a labor recession when demand for workers exceeds supply, but you'll absolutely see profits compressed.

Inflation is down, the labor market is robust and we are not in a recession so you can expect that the Federal Reserve will quite likely raise interest rates a quarter point at their next meeting. The decrease in inflation is good news for consumers and for policymakers. We still have a bit to go to get to a level of inflation the Fed is comfortable with. Barring a dramatic change in the labor market or the level of overall economic activity, expect further interest rate increases.

This is my interpretation as an economist not at the fed or in another government agency and with access only to the same public information you have, but with a bit more background in macro. As always, I may be wrong!
Here is what I don't understand. Interest rates keep going up so mortgages keep going up so rents keep going up (this is more pronounced in places that have shorter mortgage terms like Canada). Then we bemoan inflation in housing?
Keep in mind that this minor slowdown of inflation is only because of a drastic reduction of energy prices.

If the Fed doesn’t raise rates then will be back at higher inflation, as winter approaches again.
I don't know anything about Calculus. My time is school was mostly spending a year in class studying to take a single test so that the school got more government money. But I will say that when a bunch of people online carry on about how hard something is, it makes me want to try it. Usually it turns out that what ever they were saying was hard or impossible is difficult and time consuming but not impossible. The hardest part is getting over how other people have built something up as impossible.

But perhaps my FU-mode is stronger than other peoples. Someone on here said I'd never work for a FAANG company, so I guess that's something I'll have to do just because. Not impossible.
Netflix with decades of experience in streaming and negotiating content deals would have had some incumbency/first mover advantages.

It could have led the distribution/streaming industry instead of being just another content/streaming player.
There was a previous attempt 4 years ago. It's normal that there's some pushback and things get worked on for some more time. Nothing that indicates a serious problem here. Kent worked on the filesystem overall rather than addressing the comments and resubmitting immediately.

(But that's still a single initial attempt, not "a few" like the OP claimed)

This because we have around a zillion recipes for codfish, and it is so much a part of our cuisine that nearly every sentence on their main website (https://www.bacalhau.org) makes for humorous amounts of cognitive dissonance.
Yeah it seems the premise of serverless is your code always restarts, which is exactly the same as cloud. The only difference is in front of trillion explosive gotchas in the giant 200GB free middleware called GNU/Linux are their employment in case with the serverless vs yours with the cloud.

UNIX is close to turning 50, and people are fundamentally paying as well as getting paid to make a written program loop to the beginning, instead of exiting. I think this is kind of wrong.

Corporations are "training" their people in MS products by showing them how to save and open documents. A half day of being shown that gives you some useless certificate or other that is often even required you hold (by corp rules). This is for people who actually work with these programs, and I assure you there are employees who need this information.

Of course billions of people who never have to use spreadsheets professionally will not realize what you can or cannot do with them. Or even recognize them if shown a few cells. Just because literally every one memeing on the internet cannot imagine a life without computers and beginners' knowledge about the common tools doesn't mean such knowledge is actually a common baseline in humans.

And honestly, what kind of fucked up wish is it for people to suffer Excel if they don't need to?
> Let’s just pour concrete into the crystal goblet and toss it overboard, along with the banal idea of invisibility.

Love it. And I totally disagree.

Invisibility is akin to the food fight about intuitive user interfaces. (Right?) I've talked myself blue in the face about that one. As an advocate for "intuitive", I still have no idea what that means. Like all of us, I just know it when I see it. (Ha!)

> In summary, a 22 year old Mbuti man named Kenge accompanied Turnbull on a drive to the mountains. Kenge had supposedly never left the Ituri forest before. On seeing some buffalo in the distance, he mistook them for insects. As the car approached and their apparent size increased, Kenge became confused as to how they transformed into buffalo. He made the same mistake with a boat at some distance on a lake, thinking it was a small piece of wood.

> Turnbull’s explanation was that, having spent his life in the forest, Kenge had not been exposed to large vistas and so had never acquired the ability to adjust his percpetion of size for distant objects. This explanation seems to be accepted without question; I’ve read it in a psychology textbook and, I think, in one of Oliver Sacks’ books.
Just don't pay attention to the "content"... that's the worthless drivel you describe (though you forgot some of the business promotion angle).

I maybe go there once a month because someone I use to work with came in conversation or I had some random thought about someone. I'll also go there to learn about business partners and people I'm about to have to deal with professionally... background kinda stuff. Sometimes that doesn't pay off, but usually it's just enough to not go into a meeting or project blind.

I am not going there to read articles, posts, and other "business self-help" stuff and I'm not going there often.
