My wife’s response, verbatim, she thinks it’s hilarious that I mentioned it here.

“Okay, so it was explained that Lord V didn’t actually care about pure blood, he was a mud blood himself. That was just to get the pure blood families on board with his revolution.

And he didn’t actually care about the babies, it was just that Malfoy was a really good mind reader (I forget the technical term) and he wanted Hermione’s hidden memories to root out all the secret members of the order.

But the wizard pop culture was really into the babies so it was more of a PR thing.“

She said she highly appreciated the realistic political stuff in the book. Anyway this is as much thought as I’m willing to put into this topic, you’re welcome to search “Manacled Harry Potter” if you really want to learn more.

I've been happily living on android for maybe 5 years now after iOS for maybe 10 before that. I don't really miss it at all, but the tier system is hard to ignore. besides the infamous "green text" phenomenon, iOS tends to get the apps for applications that only support one, or in my car, android auto only takes up the top half of the screen whereas car play uses the full display. and of course, the software ecosystem for the Subaru infotainment is completely proprietary and non-user-serviceable so I can do nothing about it.

but that's just how it is, choosing free, ethical software is choosing a life of austerity and alienation.

It's possible that it will keep going long enough to be competitive, but it's not a safe enough bet to put all the eggs in one basket.

If we build a lot of nuclear reactors and then it turns out that storage becomes cheaper, it will cost an amount of money in line with what we currently pay to generate electricity, much of which will be paid by the investors who bet on the wrong horse. If we don't build a lot of nuclear reactors and then it turns out storage is not cheaper and so we keep burning fossil fuels, that is bad.

You'd be surprised how well a US Passport Card is accepted as an ID around India. Most people are just looking for something official in a card-sized format. There's no address, no real passport number on it. It's a more harmless document to identify yourself abroad.

Not really, the drums of the Futurama Theme are indeed sampled from the Amen Break, together with some bongos from Rapper's Delight.

Psyche Rock was sampled for the bells.

Check out this breakdown/remake and compare with the 30s theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoq5-bLYM5Q

(EDIT: It is even easier to hear the Amen Break in the extended version, check this site for the timestamps: https://www.whosampled.com/sample/808/Christopher-Tyng-Futur... )

Also keep in mind that the original Psyche Rock is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb32bdQJBxM

...and not this 1997 remix by Fatboy Slim, which is the first result in Youtube for Psyche Rock, and also has an Amen-ish break, and sounds indeed close to the Futurama theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qssa6ec7faQ

I did a lot of Assembly language programming in the 90's, on Intel, but I haven't really since then. Still a fan of it though.

The best thing I got out of it was a super-deep understanding of how computers actually work (versus what it seems like they do if you program with higher level languages.)

How about a nice bike ride near where you live and marvel at the beauty that is near you? It's still beautiful. And you did our planet a favor.

I do not have an answer for your specific question and I am not an expert on this but for what it's worth one can purchase properties in the name of a trust or a business. It will still be public but a trust can be anonymously named in some states. This can have property tax implications depending on the type of trust and the state so review the options in your location with a lawyer knowledgeable in trusts and property taxes.

“I can't wait for the games that let you talk to NPCs in natural language, and have them respond in natural language.”

That is as simple as popping together a speech-to-text model with an LLM and pipe the output to a text-to-speech module.

We can have a demo by tomorrow, and something actually enjoyable in a week. The challenges are purely of engineering (to for example reduce the latency so the conversation flows, and to fit the models on the average consumer’s hardware) and art direction (what do you want the npc to say?).

To make the npc act on the conversation is a bit harder, but stil within weeks.

Modular Neovim with Nix
They'll have different duties, like traffic cop and patrol and detective, but they are all part of the same department and most go through the same training "school".

And, of course, they are all part of the same union.

By subdividing into distinct departments, it is the basic divide and conquer. And you can replace departments more readily: keep the traffic and crime investigation units, but replace the patrol cops that are refusing to do their jobs.
Way to miss the point. The author's trick was to try get us to look at the relationship of strikers to scabs and employers in isolation without considering the totality of the power relationships or the social results of the collective action. This was done to obscure the fact that employers hold the vast majority of power and use it unjustly all the time and to the detriment of all but a tiny minority.

So maybe it's not me that's having trouble with critical thinking Maybe championing wrong and regressive billionaire propaganda is not something you need to do, especially since you have no talent for it. None of the points you made held up to scrutiny, and let's be honest, you didn't even make much effort.
We can't survive without biodiversity.

All previous mass extinctions took approximately 1.8 million years. We might be able to manage the current one in 100 years.

There's nothing natural about this extinction, and there isn't enough time for evolution either.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_extinction

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/09/01/insect-re...

“We are seeing the rapid decline of insects pretty much anywhere that they’re studied.”

It’s hard to overstate how ruinous this could be. If this mass extinction of insects isn’t reversed, it will decimate the entire food chain, threaten crop pollination and generally cause havoc. Some bird and mammal populations are already shrinking even faster than the bugs are.

Without insects, the legendary biologist E.O. Wilson wrote nearly 40 years ago, “I doubt that the human species could last more than a few months.” First, “most of the fishes, amphibians, birds and mammals would crash to extinction.” Next would go the flowering plants and forests. “The earth would rot,” he continued, and the remaining vertebrates would disappear. “Within a few decades the world would return to the state of a billion years ago, composed primarily of bacteria, algae and a few other very simple multicellular plants.”
Well I did the Christmas ornament to protect from birds which helped a lot but did not protect from the fly. Next year I will buy some stick paper that is supposed to fight the fly.
Amex acceptance in India is really good. Hotels, malls, Ubers, restaurants all take it without issue. I mean you can't buy food from local stalls, but as a foreigner visiting it's better to stick with branded restaurants to avoid food sickness (and if you're going someday, pack Imodium, best thing to get back on your feet after just a day)
Totally possible to raise animals without this though. There is a massive percentage of the land that cannot grow much other than grasses and shrubs. Animals can convert that to calories we can consume, leaving more biologically diverse land available for other species.

The issue is that animals raised on pasture need more land and more time, which equals more money. It's cheaper to raise animals on what amounts to junk food (soy, corn, legumes).

We raise and sell pork, chicken, eggs, and dairy products that never eat anything that our own land doesn't produce (grass/nuts/native fruit). But my hogs grow over a year not six months, my chickens don't lay in the winter, and my cows don't produce 10+ gallons per day. My business is only sustainable because of people who care for quality of cheaper quantity.
I think one reason is historically, if you and I own property next to each other but you pay twice the property tax that I pay, the public might have an interest in knowing who I was and how I got a sweetheart assessment.

If you want to obfuscate your ownership i imagine you could create a trust or LLC and transfer and sell your direct ownership to the new entity. This might have some short and long term tax implications and I would consult a tak expert.

Many ranches were i live are now owned by family trusts i assume for inheritance reasons.

That would be a game of group sculpting some condensed material structure out of fog.

How can you add «detail[s]» when the original idea is, as I tried to communicate, so undefined?

You should better define your premises and question. The idea is either clear to the proposer but not sufficiently expressed, or not clear enough so requiring further work for re-expression.
the youtube people who work on shorts should feel ashamed of themselves. They have a platform with a certain reputation and acclaim by users for providing - and supporting- all sorts of quality content, yet they push hard (very hard) an awfully trivial form of (not even) entertainment where you can't even seek the video back and forward. you should at least adjust your messaging to say how sorry you are for shoving shorts on our faces

The mistake you're making is that you're thinking like a user instead of an MBA. MBAs are taught that when you have a profitable segment of the business that isn't growing (such as Windows license sales), the correct move is to spend as little money as possible maintaining it and spend all of its profits on business segments that are growing (in Microsoft's case, cloud services, gaming, and advertising).

Once you start looking at things through this lens, Microsoft's handling of Windows starts to make sense. For example, they've laid off their full-time Windows QA staff in favor of volunteer "Windows Insiders", and have basically given up on having a consistent look and feel for their operating system. Meanwhile, all their new Windows features and programs exist to drive business to growing business segments. To name a few examples, Visual Studio Code and WSL exist to drive business towards Azure and Github, Edge exists to collect user browsing data to sell to advertisers, and the game bar (Win+G) and preloaded Xbox app exist to drive business towards Xbox. They even replaced the right Windows key on their later (made after ~2019) keyboards with an unremappable button that launches the cloud version of Microsoft Office.
Unfortunately, suits and other manager types rarely take responsibility for their failure of leadership. They'd rather blame a contractor or a junior IC than admit they don't know what they're doing.
Late 60s, early 70s had the best combination of technology & limitations to create some of the most memorable music. Go much earlier than that & everything sounds hollow. Too much later ( I'm looking at you, 1980s) and everything is polished & synthetic to phoniness.

The different examples really make the steady liquification of drum and bass over time clear. Yeah there's still a subgenre of really hard stuff but in the 90s it was all like that, just amen break over really dark metal/industrial kind of sounds. The melodic gap between Vic Acid and the Sub Focus remix is indicative, as dnb artists got older they got more classical training and started to focus on less harsh, more ethereal sounds and way more unique melodies (sadly often lost in the club environment).

I guess the success of Hold Your Colour was a turning point. Although even that has quite a harsh sound compared to some of the stuff the DNB scene produces today.
We're not okay with it. We are however beaten down by every brainwashed fanboy, marketer, investor and news outlet pushing this bubble along to drive some pissy revenue stream though.

You are a really patient person. There was a tiny interval of time when Edge had some promise, right after it switched to Chromium engine. But it quickly went sideways, probably when management seen rising usage numbers.

Web browser should be as basic as possible by default. Only with minimal set of features, that user expects: bookmarks, history, etc. All other nonsense should come as extensions that user installs if he needs them. I might go as far to say, that notifications or gelocation should be extensions too, that can be easily disabled. So you take "browser base" (engine) and build whatever you desire on top of it. Want Google integration? Use Google extensions. Prefer Microsoft ecosystem? Install Microsoft extensions. Or just install an ad-blocker and browse in peace.

You don’t need a vote for „Warnstreik” (warning strike), which frequently is enough to make a point, which makes the „real”/open-ended strikes much more rare than otherwise.

AFAICT all strikes I’ve ever seen happen here (the plethora of different train and airport unions) were technically warning strikes and not „real” ones; but they were enough to get the unions their wins.

> Is this supposed to be a massive difference?

I'm not sure how helpful it is to compare different cars.

Here's a more apples-to-apples comparison: a 2023 Kia Niro (which is itself a conventional hybrid, with a gasoline engine and a small battery and electric motor) compared to a 2023 Kia Niro EV. Almost everything is the same except the drivetrain. The EV[0] is ~500-800lbs heavier than the hybrid[1] depending on trim level and options, which is basically the difference between an empty car and one loaded with four adults and some luggage.

> convert hourly to project based billing

I can see how that helps in increasing revenue, but it also makes the work less agile, requires longer negotiations and adds risks. So it's probably not for everyone.

Some others have found a way to bill similar amounts but on short projects billed by the day/week. That sounds preferable to me, but you need to have a skill that produces value in such short projects.
Wherein it feels like we are starting to reimplement RxJS
Yes, maybe it's the non-native tree issue. So I'm in Canada now, but I clearly remember as a child in Belarus/USSR that we had so many apples trees and never had issues with bugs. We would collect many boxes and have them stored until early spring.
And thus, the spice must flow.

When I was a child I looked forward to all the amazing medical breakthroughs that would come in my lifetime. Now all I can imagine are companies patenting them, stifling innovation and causing prices to skyrocket.

Glad this 'article' is BS.
There are 8B of us homie. Big Ag, mono culture, pesticides all come with the territory.

Have you ever kept a garden? Did you do it on natural soil, with no pesticides? The food problem is hard, especially because food isn't very fungible. (Consider crickets if you think otherwise)

GMO's should be regulated so that pesticide restiance is mitigated. Personally I think GMOs should have multiple pesticide restistances for each class of pest so that resistant pest mutations can be treated with a seperate pesticide.
Most of that subsidization has already happened and will be locked in place for some time unfortunately - it's not like governments can realistically get away with discontinuing infrastructure maintenance while people are still living in an area. More politically feasible is higher levels of direct subsidisation for neighbourhoods that do measurably have a lower ecological impact per capita, to entice people to move to them. After all those who've grown up in suburbia with various expectations around house/land size and ability to get yourself everywhere via private motor vehicle are going to need quite some persuading that they can maintain their desired standard of living in much more built-up areas where transit/walking/cycling are the standard ways of getting around.
OTOH there's still a lot more than can be done to massively reduce the carbon footprint of the average suburban home (and its occupants).

And yes, it's worth pointing out that in many first world countries (esp. my own), many higher density neighbourhoods actually have relatively high environmental footprints - usually because they're quite affluent ones. But also because they're often occupied by single people who don't have as many opportunities to share/pool resources with others as those in suburbia. So we need to realistic about what could be achieved simply by changes in government policy around subsidisation of various modes of urban development.
