I believe that you are more real than Donald Duck if and only if the future is not yet determined.

In philosophy, theories of time are categorized in A- and B- theories [1].

In B-theoretic time, the difference between past, present and future is only subjective. Objectively, all points in time exist and are equally real. I view this to mean that there isn't any particular difference in the degree of reality between our reality and any mathematical model or imagined reality. Only with A-theoretic time are you objectively more real than Donald Duck.

> real estate gains have traditionally lagged the stock market

Does that take into account the relative ease and long term leveraging in real estate vs. the stock market?
Yet tech people will insist it's a tech problem.

Clay Shirky basically called it a couple decades ago that there's a mental transaction cost to buying things.

I guess it's sufficiently indirect sometimes that it works. "Hmm. Is it worth it to turn on this light given that it's going to cost me $X cents to have light for the next hour?"

But $1/song only lasted as long as that was the only legal model relative to buying a disc. And 5 cents for an article wouldn't work either.
For Disco you're in luck, there are some really decent ardupilot-based projects out there[1]. Plus, unlike the Bebop camera which is inaccessible via the shell (you can only use the Parrot SDK), the Disco camera can be commanded to stream/record with a few simple commands, and even bound to controller inputs.

A caveat with the controller: it needs to have custom firmware[2] to get it communicating with ardupilot, and to get the firmware onto the controller you need telnet/adb into it via SkyController→usb→ethernet→usb→Laptop adaptor(s) setup.

For a ground control system (GCS), there's three to choose from: Mission Planner, APM Planner, and QGroundControl[3] (ignore the rest, use this one).

For configuring the drone, mission planner is pretty good... but you can also just use MavProxy[4] which is a fantastic commandline program that all the GCSes use in some way, and can even be installed in Termux/Android.

It's one of the only assets available to "normal people" that is highly leveraged (yet also protected in many ways).

So that 200-something-thousand-dollar increase is on a downpayment that may have originally just been 200K or less.

Short-term "stepping up" through a series of properties can be much more wealth-building than, say, renting + investing in stocks. The longer you stay in one place the less advantageous the returns are over just putting the down payment in the market, but then having a concrete asset has its own benefits even then.

Not a Rust developer, in what way is Rust forcing you to write less performant code? Any good example?
As Nicholas Nassim Taleb would, maybe, speculatively, put it: highs school statistics teaching based on normal distributions claims another victim.

The writers constantly writes about averages. Digital economies almost always follow heavy tailed power law distributions for which the mean is a completely worthless statistic.

The top 100 or whatever creators in any market are clearly making it work nicely. The rest of the chumps are merely trying the market. How the game works is: you invest person time/money to try something. If it catches (which it almost surely will not), you will do very very well. If it doesn't, you go do something else. It's akin to playing the lottery, but maybe with a bit higher odds at succeeding.

More people will never make a profitable career out of writing simply because there aren't any more readers to read all the stuff that's being written. If the top 1000 or so writers can approximately satisfy the reading needs of all the people in the world, the rest of the writers are not needed and they will not make any money no matter what monetization system is being utilized.
>The situation in C++, where every library or API you use has a different cleanup convention, that you need to carefully read about in the documentation to even properly review a pull request, is proof of that.

Lol wut. The C++ resource management paradigm is RAII. If you write a library that doesn't use RAII, it's a bad library. Not a fault of the language.

The ruling actually overturned most of the district court judgement and injunction, pretty much tearing it to pieces. It modified the small remaining piece, which, yes, enjoins 4 parties in a small way (especially compared to the original ruling)

"The district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED with respect to the White House, the Surgeon General, the CDC, and the FBI, and
REVERSED as to all other officials. The preliminary injunction is VACATED except for prohibition number six, which is MODIFIED as set forth herein."

The remaining judgement/injunction is also stayed pending application to SCOTUS.

Despite the news articles, this is almost a complete win for the government relative to where the original ruling was.
The remainder is a case of first impression They retain the possibility of getting a complete win if they wish to appeal to SCOTUS, who would take it for sure

I'll withhold judgment until then.
There isn't a successor board, not really. But people have started to buy ultra small form factor (USFF) x86 computers and thin clients that got cycled out by corporations and leasing companies, with great success I might add.

The price/performance (+size) is about the same as for the Pi, the power draw is not as bad as with older Intel/AMD machines, and your I/O options and x86 software compatibility is vastly better.

The only drawback is that you're buying used instead of new, and that your starting price for a small home lab (albeit one that starts at 2-3x the power of a single Pi) is larger, which harms students and other makers on a shoestring budget.

Many societies of the past were conglomerations of tribes where each group/tribe had their own hierarchy and the various groups interacted with various kinds of hierarchy or lack thereof. Think of ancient Gaul or North American native nations. Despite them being formally independent groups, a common culture united people against what they perceived foreign. Gauls resisted Roman invasion, and even managed some degree of cohesion under Vercingetorix because they felt the threat of the common enemy.
Indeed. They’re both eligible.
I can hardly accept a cool $3230 per year license. I didn't even attempt to go this route. I doubt they would even allow it tbh. The site isn't exactly clear on that.
Not every user of Quora or Slashdot post trash, but the signal to noise ratio is high enough I don't use either of those sites. Yes it means I undoubtedly miss out on some really informative content, but it's not worth the work of sifting through the trash to find it.

I don't have a Twitter account, but it seems very reasonable that for some people blue checkmark could have the same problem, blocking them all might mean missing out on some good content, but not enough to make it worth shifting through the garbage, especially since Twitter will happily promote any paying user's post. If someone has to block hundreds of people to let the good one or two through, it probably makes more sense to just give up on the few good ones or make exceptions for them.
Damn I want to see the sexual version now.
San Francisco has tried. The first modern try was the JCDecaux self-cleaning street toilets. (JCDecaux is really an ad company. The street toilets are just a way to get ads on public property.) The first problem was that that the US required them to be wheelchair-accessable. So they were 3x as big and several times more expensive than the smaller units in Paris.[1]

They are noted for working fine in tourist areas, and badly in homeless areas. Making them big enough for wheelchair accessibility makes them big enough for drug deals, too.
They're also far too expensive. The cleaning machinery is standard industrial automation equipment from Telemechanique. I've seen one opened for servicing. If you built a washing machine that way, it would cost $20,000. It requires power, water, and a phone line.

There's the Portland Loo.[2] This is designed for maximum homeless proofing. Graffiti-resistant. Gratings at top and bottom instead of solid walls, for reduced privacy.
It's not self-cleaning, but can be hosed down or pressure-washed. Only needs a water line; power requirements are low enough to be supplied by a solar panel. “It’s not supposed to be a comfortable place” - Portland Loo sales manager. Seems to work, but $500,000 installed is a bit much, even with all that heavy stainless steel.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I will admit I was fulminating a bit. I'm just extremely frustrated that their solution to edge cases is to drop them on the floor and there's nothing to be done. No individual Google user actually matters to the company, but many people actually need their email account. The asymmetry of power and money here just isn't sustainable.
I don't think the comparison between the NYT and substacks or podcasts is apt, because the NYT is a NEWSpaper. Does it contain opinion columns? Yes, among countless other columns. But the fundamental purpose of the NYT is not just opinion. Whereas substacks and podcasts appear to be mostly opinion pieces. You don't often have news broken on them.

What substacks and podcasts have shown is that some "thought leaders" can make a massively lucrative living independent from the newspapers, and more than they could make with the newspapers. But none of this applies to writers of news. News writers still need the news organizations, and the subscribers of the newspapers, to support them.

The author talks about "writers" in general without making that crucial distinction. Hard news writing is mostly a thankless job. It rarely provides the opportunity to build a "personal brand" like opinion writing does, unless you're Woodward and Bernstein breaking Watergate. Even someone like Glenn Greenwald, who has broken some huge stories like Snowden, makes most of his money from spouting his opinions online rather than from breaking hard news.
Reminds me of I am Legend
The McDonalds in downtown Dallas, at least for a time, played classical music outside as well as inside. The theory was that the homeless wouldn't hang around as much. This was back in the 80s when my mom worked downtown, and it was common water cooler conversation. I'm sure as a manager, you're pretty much willing to try anything to avoid the situation you've described. Making it even harder, the location is one block away from the central Greyhound bus station.
"All cash" just means "no contingency on financing". It rarely means "will not be financed".
While there are trade offs in every place one chooses to live, and can relate to the eye rolling elitism of folks who’ve never visited most of America as a person who grew up in Tennessee. I think you overplay your hand referring to a state in the bottom third of GDP and growth rate with slightly above median GDP per capita as an advanced part of the country.
It's rather an illustration of the Münchhausen trilemma:

1A) Is China (PRC) a part of Taiwan (ROC)?

1B) Is China (PRC) an independent and sovereign country?

2A) Is Taiwan (ROC) a part of China (PRC)?

2B) Is Taiwan (ROC) an independent and sovereign country?

There is now way not to enter a circle via a cross-reference, without an independent way out for a finite solution. Thus, well, dogmatic abort, also known as diplomacy.

Generally speaking, ARM sells chip blueprints in return for a royalty on every chip manufactured using their blueprints (or designed to be compatible). Their growth potential is more chips being made using their blueprints or getting a higher royalty per chip manufactured.

I believe so, yes. I think it's somewhat likely that mathematically minded people would come up with that idea independently -- it's essentially Platonism taken to its logical conclusion.

I worked for a long ago minicomputer company that sold a scaled-down version of their first SMP system in 3 flavors--and the only difference was microcode that throttled the performance of two of the models.

And when I was an analyst, many people were always surprised to hear all the games that IBM played with mainframes (and to a lesser degree with POWER servers) to sell you the same compute capacity that was cheaper when only used for certain workloads (like Linux) or that was inaccessible until activated "on demand."

“For centuries, the courts of France, Italy, Switzerland, and other nearby countries tried pigs, dogs, rats, grasshoppers, and snails for crimes against people, property, and God. These animal trials were of two kinds: (1) secular suits against individual creatures who had maimed or killed humans; and (2) ecclesiastic cases against vermin like mice and locusts, who were excommunicated for their grain-related crimes.”

I'm kind of surprised at the statement that Terraform is bad at bootstrapping things like Kubernetes, not the statement on it's own, but in context of using Talos. Yes, for a lot of roll-your-own Kubernetes cluster distributions, it isn't great at it and implementations are somewhat badly maintained, but for Talos specifically it's actually a very nice experience. They've done a good job on the provider and made it possible to bootstrap in an idempotent way, and it helps manage the lifecycle, upgrades, going forward by talking to the Talos control plane after it's bootstrapped. It's still being actively developed but I think their approach works better than most, and in some ways feels nicer than trying to bootstrap something like EKS with terraform. https://github.com/siderolabs/terraform-provider-talos

I would expect to be able to raise such concerns myself, and not face much blowback for doing so; however, attitudes towards academic conduct vary around the world. There are even places where you can't report data fabrication without risking your entire academic career.

Really hard to judge the usefulness of this without seeing the actual prompt text and configuration for each prompt/model - different templates and different optimal configs means it's not always going to be a best-capability comparison. It is interesting to see what models can do with zero config, but for determining which is useful for a specific use-case we'd want to put a best foot forward and specialize the prompt a bit for each model (like the benchmarks game https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...)
You cannot legally wager on WWE anywhere in the US, currently (or I imagine anywhere outside it either). [https://www.forbes.com/betting/novelty/wwe/] I didn't know anyone took it seriously as a sport, let alone would want to bet on it. But apparently yes. It's hilarious to hear the term "Academy Awards... a fixed entertainment event". (Waiting for cynics to mention elections.)

> According to a March 2023 CNBC report, WWE—which produces fixed sports-style events such as WrestleMania and Royal Rumble—wants to quell gambling regulator concerns by reducing the chances that high-profile match outcomes leak to the public.

> WWE is “working with” the accounting firm EY, better known as Ernst & Young. EY and rival PwC have helped safeguard results for the Academy Awards, a fixed entertainment event available for wagering in select sports betting states. As it stands, betting operators like DraftKings Sportsbook, FanDuel Sportsbook, BetMGM Sportsbook and Caesars Sportsbook have offered limited wagering on the Oscars.

The point is that it's not so easy to narrowly construct a legal contract that covers the manufacturers from liability.

Don't you think Mozilla's message would be much stronger if their privacy guide had an example of what the legal agreement should look like? I didn't see anything like this, maybe I missed it. Clearly manufacturers have gone overboard in some cases, but I don't believe it's that easy to make you guys happy.

There are lawyers in the audience here, how about post some legal contract that protects manufacturers from a passenger pressing the OnStar button while the driver is in the gas station bathroom and being liable for anything resulting from that, and every other possible liability from OnStar. I'll take my -4 and your lack of constructive counterargument as the answer I know it is.
This is absolutely not true for one simple reason:

Subscriptions increase valuation of companies
In absence of an easy definition, what is illegal should be the gun which has the capability that is banned.

If someone wraps a shoestring around a trigger group to make it "automatic", boom, it's an automatic weapon, seize the gun and arrest the citizen. It's the characteristic.

It's why banning guns based off scary black foregrips is silly. If we were to limit guns meaningfully in the US, we should ban all semi-automatic weapons with interchangeable magazines. You still have bolt actions, revolvers, shotguns, but this lowers rate of fire/reload time in combination well enough to meaningfully encumber terrorists.

For the 2A crowd ( of which I am a tepid member), my main principle is that citizens should be no less armed than their domestic law enforcement. So if we as a country made such a change, we would have to set a date past which domestic law enforcement must also switch back to revolvers and shotguns only.

And now we really live in a fantasy world! Truly, it would be better for society to be less armed, but we're past the point of no return. I say this as someone who owns close to a dozen firearms, including mosins, AR-15 and several semi-automatic pistols.

It’s not a consumer unit problem.

Heated seat subscriptions are bad because by not paying for them, the heated seats are objectively costing you. You are paying for extra weight, streets are paying for extra weight, materials are extra mined and produced so the environment is paying for extra weight. Etc.

It is directly and indirectly objectively negative for you to have heated seats that you don’t want and are not subscribed for.
