Even as an accountant it is very hard to understand local authority accounts. They are usually three years late and poorly presented. Also most of their spend is either recharged to central government or mandatory; discretionary spend is a very small part of the budget.

By contrast, central government accounts in the UK are excellent.
Thank you for saying it. Bed bugs can go literally three years without eating. Using the mixed-toxin (different bedbug poison for each treatment, minimum 2 treatments) approach usually works, but the only way to definitely kill existing bugs and eggs is to get every part of an object to over 125f. AFAIK, 125f is the instant-death point. That is, any bug or egg the hits 125f at all is dead. Otoh, 113f requires 90 minutes of exposure before the bugs are killed, and the eggs require 118f for 90 minutes.
It’s more of an observation. And it applies to the examples you have. In fact, I can’t think of a bigger realm for snake oil salesmen than I the realms of food/nutrition and alternative medicine

Yup - right now, they're throwing all their development efforts at trying to enhance "safety." The goal is to do it without significantly degrading model performance for the majority of use cases.

When the inevitable regulation starts rolling out, OpenAI expects their lobotomized models to outperform competing lobotomized models, because they'll have a huge head start (and probably will have had a hand in guiding the legislation as well).

Marxism is kind of like the chiropracty of economics. Just because Marx can explain everything and point out contradictions doesn't mean they are true.

QoL is still in an upward climb. Average lifetime working hours is still marching down. We've peaked out on literacy and child mortality and preventable diseases with available technology.

You have to ignore 120 years of intellectual progress on economics to still want to apply labor theory of value to problems. There may be a day when we can achieve some semblance of a "socialist" mode of production - but I can almost assure you it will not be from people following Marx's flawed analysis. It will be from people who understand either classical or keynesian economics, or whatever new understanding come from it, and apply them towards actual functional policies.
Yeah, I could see it making things fairer, but not necessarily more prosperous overall.
Power isn't the problem. It's an amoral, nebulous concept.

There are no actual -isms in the world.* These are utopian fantasies supported as tribal, jingoist footballs not worth arguing about. Governments are varying degrees of:

1. Influence corruption of the rich directing elected (or military junta) officials

2. Proportion of embezzlement-adjacent and actual embezzlement corruption of officials spending money on their own needs and wants

3. Overall functionality and responsiveness of police and justice extending protections or harm balancing individual and collective interests, including positive and negative rights to liberties, property, trade, and taxation

4. Distribution of competency across government departments

The problem in the US specifically is that money concentrates power because elected officials are beholding to campaign financing. As a consequent, primarily celebrities and public figures are the only ones who are "electable" in 2 flavors of corporate-owned, tribal factions. As John McCain discovered, there is absolutely no will to fix it from within the system. As such, it can only be resolved outside of it through applying great, sustained pressure in a nonviolent manner.

* Communism was attempted but never implemented anywhere because it's either a utopian delusion or was sidetracked by totalitarianism and/or inadequate leadership. Capitalism doesn't exist anywhere except in a libertarian's mind. There is no "pure" "socialism" anywhere. Every political jurisdiction implements a special snowflake blend of regulations, corruption, freedoms, autonomy, and force.
As it seems that English is not his first language, and that quote you offered appears to contradict "I know I could just take one piece out, and put it back in to feel it myself, but I am looking for a more logical way, so I am able to reason it", and based on the provenance of his other postings, these appeals to contort the question into some kind of uninteresting material science one are not credible.
So they idiotically put into the law something like "wait for technology to be developed to allow snooping without compromising security"? Such lawmakers shouldn't allowed anywhere near making laws.

From an ethical standpoint, there is no reason to assert a human being created from re-embryonized adult stem cells should be any more enslaveable than any child of any parents or the younger of any pair of twins.

... of course, the flip-side of the coin is that for a certain segment of the pro-life movement, using these cells as test subjects will be equivalent to intentionally fertilizing human egg cells and then using those as test subjects.
It was $999 for many years, but has been $299 for over a decade now. But $299 might as well be $2999 for many people.
While your points are all valid theoretically, keeping stuff off of developer filesystems can still help a lot practically.

This attacker probably (it's unclear, since the write-up doesn't tell us) scanned compromised machines for key material using some kind of dragnet scanning tool. If the data wasn't on the compromised filesystem, they wouldn't have found it. Even though perhaps in theory they could have sat on a machine with debug access (depending on the nature of the compromise, this is even a stretch - reading another process's RAM usually requires much higher privilege than filesystem access) and obtained a core dump from RAM.

Security is always a tension between the theoretical and the practical and I think "putting crash dumps in an easy-to-use place that isn't a developer's Downloads folder" isn't a bad idea.
A base model iPad + Apple Pencil 1 offsets about $400 in MSRP. A more decent setup would be iPad Air + Apple Pencil 2 for $650. And of course there are a ton of software that helps prototyping or organizing ideas collaboratively, online.

If any company actually cares about collaboration, they should give every employee a set of these. They cost a fraction of a developer's work laptop and are negligible compared to their salary. There is hardly anything that can't be done online.

But of course companies are not going to do that. They are going to instead ask you to drive one hour to the office and pay for the gas on your own money, then write on whiteboard in real buildings so that the money wasted on the lease is worth something.

> they over and under produce just about everything because the central planners have an impossible job.

A free economy is full of over and under production also - probably because exact production is an impossible goal. I feel the better difference is in how free and responsive all the actors can be. Free to over-sheep in a bubble. Free to copy-cat when there is demand. Free to try and exploit any perceived imbalance. Responsiveness and freedom from dogma is a more important characteristic?

I am curious to hear what solutions people have found for this- for example, does anybody cache S3 in cloudfront and then point S3 clients at cloudfront?

If you want to understand 20th and 21st century European history, you really do need some background in the Franco-Prussian war. There's obviously no specific moment when Germany became ascendant. It was a process that took several hundred years, going back to the efforts of Prussia to distinguish itself amongst the member polities of the Holy Roman Empire.

But the war did solidify or make official many important features of 20th century Europe. Namely, Germany as a unified whole with a German speaking core that defines its contemporary borders, the centralization of the rivalry between France and Germany, Germany as the dominant military and economic power of Europe, the stabilization of French Republicanism sans monarchy, the relative irrelevance of the Austrians, the end of a common belief in great power stabilization as a long term objective in favor of a more manichean struggle for dominance, etc.
Thanks for the link, but

A) from that link it's not possible to tell if there's causality between those two, and

Additional information on Dave Clark's impact:

"Some Flexport insiders say layoffs and an influx of former Amazon leaders are wrecking morale."[1]

'"These people do not have conversations — they make demands," one laid-off employee said. Unsatisfactory answers could be met with harsh feedback, sources said.

One laid-off Flexporter said an Amazon veteran told them, "I don't believe a word you're saying," during a presentation they said took months to prepare.

Clark was asked at Tuesday's conference whether his Amazon hires meant he wanted to change Flexport's culture.

"The only place I've really worked in my life is Amazon. And so I didn't get out much. And I worked in supply chain so most of the people I know are Amazon people," he said. "Turns out Amazon's pretty good at moving stuff around."'

See also, the Dave Clark effect at Amazon:
"Amazon generally delivers later than competitors. That can be terrifying for some of its drivers"[2].

Yes it feels a bit ironic coming from a pure SaaS company (Basecamp and Hey).
You might be kidding, but extended fasting, water fasting, and fasting while drinking salt/potassium water have millions of followers.

I have personally tried fresh vegetable juice only for 30 days and I think it's amazing. I didn't even drink any actual water for 30 days, since I was drinking 1 gallon+ of vegetable juice a day (fresh juiced at home, not pasteurized garbage).

I personally think the ideal diet would be vegetable juice plus some beef. Which is what most people would say ("hey, just eat a lot of salad and some meat sparingly"). Except it's way easier to drink 8 lbs of vegetables than it is to eat them.
> It is a distinction without a difference. I buy on Amazon, I pay on Amazon. They have a complicated supply chain with third party sellers, but it doesn't make them immune from import bans.

Amazon third party sellers work like Ebay.

You are suggesting that when you buy something off Ebay, it is Ebay the one selling you the stuff, which is clearly not true.

You could find things on Amazon that aren't licensed to be sold in the US. That doesn't make them suddenly "legal".

> Yes, that is true, but yet to see any citation of an ban on imports, sale, or use.

If they cannot get a FCC license, they cannot legally distribute or sell their phones in US soil. That's just FCC rules [0]

But I'm honestly not sure what you are trying to prove here.

For example, I recently bought a Japanese Sony gadget on Ebay. It has Bluetooth. It definitely does not have a FCC sticker, nor has been licensed by the FCC. I was able to buy it, but Sony is not allowed to sell it in the US.

Does the fact that I bought it from an US website, mean that Sony is effectively selling this gadget in the US? Of course not, that's ridiculous.

I'd argue that the evidence of "aptitude, intelligence, baseline of problem-solving ability, and ability to finish something" has much less value now.

University is more of a vocational college now - there are specializations for most things, and if you didn't choose the right specialization and are trying to break into a field it's much harder to do so given that there are other people with better education. Because the general university education has become so ubiquitous just having a degree has much less power now.
I don’t remember seeing this campaign. Are there any links?
Nope, any noise of tax break to super rich company like Amazon in politically charged city like Seattle will raise huge public outcry and no one really want that.

Another thing to understand in asking RTO Amazon gets implicit support of city/builders/ tons of other vendors. Further it should be no surprise (but it is!) that multiple hundreds of thousand dollar a year earning employees are going to get no sympathy on their plight from public at large. So why should CEO care at all on this issue.

That may be true for you but I don’t think it generalizes to all autistic people. Anecdotally in US leftwing (like actually left not Democrat) political groups it’s very common for the most involved people to be 1. on the spectrum 2. have strong outgroups (eg basically every ML group hates other ML groups) even to the point of it including people nominally in agreement on 99.9% of issues 3. are willing to purity spiral and reject anybody in their outgroup.
The parent comment mentioned "processed foods", and that's what I was attempting to define, not "ultra processed", which doesn't really seem to mean anything coherent.

Why die, vim is thriving and in a much better shape than CUA(I wont repeat myself). And no, there is no standard for CUA, only very loose conventions which are largely inconsistent. On macos in editors and text entry fields I have a better luck with readline keybindings than with CUA and it says a lot about how much of a “standard” it is.

So, why again should emacs care about it? There is no heresy, vim and emacs gurus just do not care, this ship has sailed long time ago. Today across every editor I have used in past 20 years (vim, Idea, emacs, VSCode) and across 3 operating systems vim keybindings are the most consistent thing. CUA is laughable, not only does the overlap not allow to work with text effectively, it is also completely inconsistent, such as usage of cmd as modificator in macos. You may stomp with your feet about it, but people will not care more. If anything, these highly specialized editors in their niches will survive any mouse-driven fad (and let is be honest here, CUA-influenced editors are all mouse-driven). So, go emacs, go vim, you are doing everything right.

There are probably good Samaritan laws forcing public officers to provide "help" if they are informed of a situation and no way out of it. A family member that is a cop said to never tell anything in good faith to a cop because then they are forced by law to follow procedures, even if they don't want to otherwise they are the ones getting arrested/fired/suspended.
