Google is only pursuing what advertisers want. Most product changes to Youtube, Google search etc are for the benefit of advertisers and copyright holders, not end-users.

AR at Google will be just another canvas they'll try to optimize for ad delivery.
Edited to correct the percentage from comment below. Thanks!

It's not clear because they move when they calculate the probably of a collision is greater than 0.001%. So after moving, the probability is less than that. Using that as grounds for believing collision is inevitable seems disproportionate to the risk.

If they didn't move, then I'd say differently, as 25000 attempts at a 1 in 100000 is bad odds.

Genuine question. Why is this important to note?
Yes, I remember when LinkedIn was tricking people into spamming everyone in their contact list on their phone and using the information to suggest connections. A coworker was fooled and sent out invitations to everyone in his massive contact list. He was in sales for over 40 years and was mortified, then pissed off.

I refuse to install the LinkedIn apps on my devices. Microsoft didn’t help matters when they integrated it into Outlook.
Some people wouldn’t mind if the economy is plunged into recession if it means some rich people get theirs. These misanthropes pop up during every financial or possible financial crisis.
An argument for federal student loans being a significant driver of inflation all on their own is pretty strained. I'd want to see numbers.

But regardless, this isn't even true on issues of fact. Federal student loans are still in forbearance, and will be until October.
I paid MORE to sit at home on zoom during Covid, through a "distance learning fee". And that money didn't even go towards buying the professors decent internet.
I am very grateful for Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson for inventing Ubuntu and the automatic yoghurt maker.
> they don't see matching the government figures because the government is playing funny with the numbers

This isn't seeing things differently, it's seeing them incorrectly. Yes, there are zip codes and metropolitan areas with higher than median inflation, but that's also true for the reverse. Someone missing the forest for the trees isn't seeing things differently, they're misattributing their problems.
I think this is an amazing idea. My high school was also home to a regional vocational trade center, meaning we had amazing facilities for any kind of trade, including a small restaurant. Students in the program actually built a complete house one year, and many of my friends took full advantage to jump directly into trade careers upon graduation.

As a student on the honors track, all of this was completely inaccessible to me due to academic requirements. For example, to take Calculus as a senior, I had to have already complete 4 years of math classes (meaning doubling up one year). Calculus itself was a "lab" class, meaning it met 3 days a week for an hour, and 2 days a week for 2.5 hours. That left zero time for anything not "academic".

As an adult, I use algebra and geometry frequently, and have to resort to Youtube to learn the plumbing, carpentry, and light electrical work I use almost every weekend to maintain my home. It would have been nice to have learned this at a younger age, so that I could do things efficiently and at a higher quality instead of fumbling around for hours.

My day job is helping sell ad-free, subscriptions, so I'm a fan of the idea. That said, Elon is driving away the lucrative advertisers and not dropping ads entirely. Even Blue subscribers still get ads, albeit fewer.

At their scale and in their market the premium subscriptions model doesn't appear to work, unless their costs can be reduced much, much further.

Sharing revenue with creators is great. Not everything being done is bad. On the whole it just doesn't seem sustainable and sometimes even petty and foolish. Almost appears as if he's trying to bankrupt the company.

Oracle's ZFS code is controlled by a single entity, but OpenZFS (which is what you probably want) is a community fork with copyrights owned by a huge list of people and companies.

Tech Trailblazing: Your Ultimate Guide to Landing Your First Job
No doubt the (very excellent) film.
Hey Folks!

Over the past few days I have been working diligently on creating a blog post (after greatly enjoying writing others before).

This article is all about my journey to landing my first job in the high-tech industry. I've shared my insights, perspectives, and all the juicy details that I think you'll find interesting.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could spare a few minutes to read the article and provide your valuable opinion, and most importantly - if you found it helpful!
Oh, come on, The Verge, you know what's happening, and it's not odd; it is, at this point, pretty much expected.

I assume, as with Mastodon, next step will be autobans for mentioning the dread word Threads. (This will enrage the knitting and sewing people, leading Ravelry to emerge as yet another Twitter-killer).

Can confirm. We bought during the minimum rates, and the competition for housing was absolutely insane.
But this isn’t just about the web view, is it?

My understanding is that they’re still hitting API endpoints.

What I’m getting at is that it’s theoretically possible to start locking down the APIs such that only Reddit’s own clients including the web view can continue to call those APIs.

Clients that are calling the unprotected endpoints would be forced to start circumventing the new API security, setting up an avenue for Reddit to go after such clients.

Getting rid of the web view isn’t necessary.

Famously saved in a way that kicked off the American craft brewing movement. Fritz Maytag brought a modern microbiological perspective to American brewing, reintroduced dormant American styles, validated that there was a market for such beers, and deliberately helped other breweries brew great beer rather than expanding faster than he felt comfortable to meet demand. It was a viable business when Maytag decided to retire in 2010.

I think we can start dropping useless affectations like "it's important to note" now that ChatGPT has utterly co-opted them and revealed how meaningless they are. You could have simply stated that Anchor division is being dropped. I'm already reading your comment. You don't have to sell me on why you're noting it.
I see the problem like this.

As an engineer my take is we should make a plan to solve the problem and execute it. Basically that means fiber everywhere, probably the electric company should just run a fiber that is installed and maintained next to your electric feed, I'll explain why in a minute.

This would have an eye-popping bill but it would be done.

Instead the Democrats allocate some arbitrary amount of money, say $20 billion, they build out some broadband, but not enough. Then they go out and spend $30 billion and then another time they spend $40 billion but those of us not lucky to get broadband are saying "they are spending all this money but we still don't have broadband", there is this mental disconnect though because for many Democrats the fact that they spent $X billion is a reason to celebrate and that's the problem, the endpoint is spending $X billion, it is not the product of people having broadband. And they wonder why people vote Republican.

(e.g. the Republicans are not on board w/ solving the problem at all but the Democrats really don't get how repeated failure in public erodes the legitimacy of institutions, particularly when they are celebrating failures as if they were successes. They see any resistance to this as mindless partisan negativism unfortunately.)

Here's my situation.

I live on a farm that is rather hard to serve because my power lines go through a beaver swamp. My phone line is mostly buried from the nearby crossroads to my house.

I used to get ADSL from Frontier which came all the way from the nearest town, the distance was near the absolute limit of ADSL but they had some analog hardware that boosted the signal so towards the end of that era I had two 2 Mbps connections.

More recently they ran fiber to the crossroads and now I am just past the VDSL limit and I have two 20 Mbps ADSL connections which are load balanced, it is fine for most purposes... I remote login a lot to my big desktop PC and the slow uplink makes waiting for windows to open painful but once I have them open I can get stuff done. I am paying around $250 a month for that and two phone lines and that is an astronomical cost compared to people who get cable just two miles down the road.

The same people who have a party because they spend $X billion are "technology agnostic" and believe DSL is a good technology for rural areas are completely wrong, you can wire up Koreans who live in huge apartment blogs with VDSL but the limited range of DSL does not work for rural America.

I don't blame anybody who doesn't want to go into my swamp, but...

Every 10 years or so the power company sends some huge machine into my swamp (sometimes gets stuck) to limb up trees around the power line, when they do that another crew should follow them and add fiber. Doing it that way would be as cheap as you could make it, and we really need an approach to the problem that finds those kind of economies and gets the job done.
No feed. No social network. Et c.

Reasonable people disagree over whether it's appropriate to label any piece of software in which two or more people interact "social media". I tend to think it renders the term uselessly broad.
I also don't think that "the smooth running of the financial system" is the most important responsibility

Anyone old enough to live through the financial institutions collapsing, one after another, like dominoes would probably at least concede that it is an important responsibility. No one likes to see those responsible get rewarded for their actions, but it sure is important to not let the patient bleed out on the table.
Can Anchor be considered a craft brewer if its owned by Saporro?
Starlink is in a self-clearing orbit -- if a Starlink satellite dies, it will deorbit within five years. Collisions with a Starlink only decrease that time -- collisions remove energy, the vast majority of debris will have a decreased perigee and deorbit much quicker. Those that don't will have an increased area/mass and also deorbit quicker.

Also Starlink is basically the only thing at those altitudes in volume. Every piece of debris from an exploded Starlink has two possibilities: 1 - it basically stays in its original orbit, not causing problems for other Starlinks. 2 - it changes orbit, only crossing the Starlink orbital plane twice per orbit. Given that most debris in #2 will deorbit within a single orbit a cascade is pretty much impossible.

IOW, it's basically impossible, and if the impossible does happen it will clear within days.
There's loads of satellites up there, not just Starlink. How do rocket launches miss them? Yea, there's lots of room but everything is going really fast.
Predicting interest rates accurately in the long run is impossible, you have no basis for these statements.

Its because those people aren't working, so they have time to write articles at how to be better at the stuff they don't actually do.

The rest of us that are already good at X, don't have the time or energy to write articles about how to be better at it because we are too busy doing it. And when we finally get done for the day, we want to do something else with our lives except go back and write about how to be better at it.
Arguably then it is no longer your emails.
The obvious follow up is I think they must not have kept up with the times

I’d guess bottles are the majority of the business and I think that product is inferior

I don’t know what the other breweries do, maybe it’s just freshness and inventory, or a better or more consistent bottling

—

I should also add that I lived in SF, so it’s definitely possible that most customers out of city think of them as a bad bottled beer brand, whereas I had a different impression
When it comes to the global economy, it’s basically true. Only the US and China, and to a lesser extent Europe collectively, really matter - everyone else follows.
In other words: The massive inflation experienced across 2021 and 2022 is here to stay and it's still getting worse, just a wee bit slower.

Edit: Downvotes? Pointing out the big picture is too inconvenient a truth? We shouldn't be celebrating 3%, we should be demanding why it's not -3%.
> If one of their birds is hit in a similar manner

Getting hit by a centimeter piece of debris is fatal to a satellite, but is not remotely comparable to being hit by a 100kg ballistic warhead, in debris-generating capacity.

Yeah the article is a little muddled; it’s better to understand Anchor as the oldest existing brewery that makes what we think of as craft beer.

When it started there were many small, local brewers making a variety of beers. Prohibition and changing tastes killed off most of the breweries — it helped to be above a certain size so you could profitable brew, say, malted syrups during prohibition. Those that remained after prohibition ended quickly consolidated — that’s how we got the oligopoly off Bud, Miller, and Coors.

Consolidation continues for decades afterwards of course; the brands that got rolled up into the conglomerates included a number of light lager breweries. What distinguishes Anchor from Yuengling and others is Anchor made something other than a light lager — they made steam beer, a warm-fermented lager that has some ale characteristics.

I would categorize it as “proto-craft,” since the real craft movement started in the 80s with Sierra Nevada and Sam Adams; Anchor was an inspiration, a holdover, and an anomaly.

(Most of my sources for this post are Celebrator beer magazine and a series of books I’ve read, but I don’t have them at my fingertips so I may have some specifics slightly wrong here, caveat emptor for reading random internet comments.)
>also the only reason most of europe has freedom today and not a german dictatorship is the US in WW2

German soldiers killed on the Eastern Front before the final battles of 1945: 2,742,909.

On the Western Front, the Balkans, Africa, Italy, and Northern Europe: 640,541.

I'm no mathematician, but but it seems like it wouldn't have been possible without Russians killing over 75% of the German soldiers and then marching on Berlin. Could Europe have have handled the other 25% without the US? Maybe. Could the US have handled the other 75% without Russia? I am very skeptical.
Matt really saved the day when he started up xemu from xqemu. It was advancing by leaps and bounds there for a while but has slowed down once again over the last year. I'm hoping it picks up steam once again.
You are completely missing the point here. If you know "why empires fall" (nobody does) then you could just teach that, the historical context would be almost irrelevant and even the premise of a cyclical history, which can be broken by voting, seems completely insane.

>Thankfully you did all those things, so now you can write a well-written letter to the correct person in government, citing the parallel problems with the current education system and the fall of Rome, and stop children being taught this stuff (-:

Okay, that was funny.

I think what you are trying to articulate is education as a hollistic system, not with the goal of expertese, but with the goal of offering some moral foundation and grounding in the world and society. But if you believe in that the utilitarian stance of education immediately becomes irrelevant and "when am I ever going to use this" becomes a non-sensical question, which misses the point.
Ah! Fare arbitrage surfaces again! Quoting below -

"when one individual is traveling from Millbrae station, a suburb south of San Francisco, to Embarcadero station which is downtown San Francisco, and at the same time a second individual is traveling from Glen Park station, a residential area in San Francisco,to Berkeley station. The two tickets cost (according to 2014 fare chart) $4.50 and $4.20 respectively. But if during the segment between Glen Park station and Embarcadero station the two travelers agree to exchange their tickets the cost becomes $5.10 and $1.85. So from a total cost of $8.70 a simple ticket swap saves $1.75 or 20% "

Someday I might write about the amount of light and fury generated by the paragraph above.

> making a decision based solely on quantitative observations (or metrics) and ignoring all others

I literally just stated how you should observe "all others". With everything important considered, you should then "count your bodies" and optimize. McNamara would agree with that.

Most UIs don't. Just take any app or program you use daily, and imagine better paths to the goals you repeat on a daily basis. If you're a UI person, you should be focused on optimizing these paths.
