I remember hearing from my mother about how her grandmother (my great grandmother) got her chinaset. It was during the great depression, and some flour companies held long running promotions where a piece of China would be placed inside the bag of flour. If you ended up with too many pieces of one type (for example tea cups), you could trade with your neigbors to equal out your set. It was a way of buying/owning something nice when you barely had money to pay for the food itself. I'm not sure how apocryphal this story is though. Could the China really have survived transport that way? Maybe the purchaser redeemed the China piece another way.

They would also use the bag the flour came in as material to make underwear. Literally nothing was wasted. That is probably also why this stuff got passed down to our generation: they couldn't bear to part with anything.

While some of these improvements rely on a switch to electric, I would love to see as many of these implemented in a much shorter term.
That is a truly exceptional use case, and I'm impressed too.

I should have specified above that I'm referring to the practicalities of professional translation workflows as they currently exist for things like high volume flows in dozens of formats, and translation memory leveraging etc.
Except that Genshin will not be subject to it. Genshin Impact is made by Mihoyo, a Chinese company. In order to sell Unity licenses to Chinese customers, Unity Technologies created a joint venture called Unity China, and, as is standard Chinese government policy, it must be majority-owned and controlled by Chinese entities. The majority owner of Unity China? Mihoyo.

(On top of that, it makes no sense — Genshin would be a poster child for revshare: a single entity that has made billions off microtransactions and that can be easily audited in one go.)

I really do not see what google did wrong here. There should be no flag-planting in the open source community. The fact that one person develops an idea does not mean that nobody else has a right to develop their own version. In this case the authors has even deleted all his repositories due to mental stress. It makes even more sense for Google to develop their own version so that they can be in the control of their project.

In an adversarial case like this, that seems to make sense.

The issue is that there are many, many groups that would happily sue a company to achieve a hostile objective (get access to proprietary insights, change public opinion, etc.) irrespective of the merits of their argument.

Accountability matters, but 100% observability and transparency do not automatically deliver it.

Can you talk at all about the tech that goes into making something like this? Or about the problems you faced building a system for production?
You're right. Competition changes the math substantially. It means the pubic can get tailored services that suit their unique needs and a large number of companies trying to one-up each other fuels innovation.

The public is unlikely to be better off when the service being provided doesn't really allow for competition and utilities and infrastructure are great examples of that. For products and services where competition is desirable, easy, and plentiful I want those options and the government's role should be limited to regulating where necessary to ensure that competition stays strong and the public is protected.
Yeah good luck with that. The founding principal and mission of a corporation is to make money at all costs. Being "Good" will always come second to making money, the individuals who make it up are powerless to stop it.

The reason they don’t want employees to use these words (and why they go OTR occasionally) is, at least as alleged by the government, to make discovery more difficult/impossible and also to hide/destroy evidence of their activity.

The accepted solution in the second link claims your other two links are wrong:

> Some people claim incorrectly that energy is not conserved in an expanding universe because space-time is not static. The law of Energy conservation is derived from Noether's theorem when the dynamical equations are unchanged with time. These people confuse the invariance of the equations with the invariance of the solution. Space-time changes but the equations obeyed by the expanding universe do not change. Space-time cannot be treated as a background, its dynamics must be included when deriving the enrgy equations via Noether's theorem. This leads to the equations given above which show that energy is indeed conserved.

How do shared library collisions break? (2022)
I guess it’s a matter of interpretation. Of course every computer connected to the internet is not government-funded. But in this context we’re talking about the origin of the technology and protocols that allowed the network to exist at all. By the time the internet got bigger than ARPANet, CSNET, and NSFNET (all government funded), the protocols were pretty much settled, and that’s what everyone else’s network used to become part of the internet. If the government hadn’t gotten it to that point, there would be no internet.

Unity temporarily closes offices amid death threats
There’s a nasty cycle of car dependency. The government makes driving easy and alternatives hard through toll free highways, and mandated parking minimums around every building. Entire neighborhoods are zoned for low density housing making apartments and even duplexes illegal. The government underwrites mortgages through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Many neighborhoods lack continuous sidewalks, bike lanes safe enough for kids to use, and safe ways to cross the road.

Faced with government preference for car infrastructure only, employers take the path of least resistance in building parking, and individuals buy cars and drive everywhere. Which leads to induced demand for more car infrastructure and resistance to throwing a bone to alternates (“Don’t waste gas tax money on public transit!”)
All the entertainment unions (IATSE, WGA, SAG, DGA, and I think even some athlete unions, etc), do not base their pay off of seniority and also don’t cap their pay. So higher skilled players can absolutely still negotiate terms and pay when accepting a job. The workers in these unions just have access to more protections.
Likely "to knock" meant "to have sex with" because during the Gold Rush (mid-19th century), a brothel was called a "knocking house"
Exactly, these companies spoiled just train these employees on not to break the law. It’s the drive to find an edge over competitors that’s making employees take these unethical behaviors. When they realize nobody’s watching, they’re more likely to act unethically.

A good comparison is the outrage that arises at speed cameras. People can’t believe that a camera could write a ticket for them. They’ll spoof and obscure license plates, take alternate routes, and try all sorts of things to avoid following the law. Just don’t speed and you’ll be ok. Don’t act unethically in business and you’ll be ok too.
I think you're reading something into it that isn't there. It's just not on the shelf, I'm not likely to notice it and incidentally purchase it when I'm buying ibuprofen or whatever, and I have to go out of my way to get it. I can't just have Amazon overnight some to me. As a result I've just gotten in the habit of buying it periodically without waiting for "I'm sick" to be the reason for the purchase. The 6 month period isn't "trying to not get noticed", it's "that period comfortably covers my household's needs with some breathing room".

Sure, I could buy 6 boxes at a time. I just don't. There's not really any good reason to min-max my pseuodephedrine acquisition.
one catch: The release cycles are too far apart of latest Snapdragons (major release in December 2022) and new Apple's chips from September 2023.

A fair comparison (and closer to each other in release cycles) would be the latest Snapdragon of the Galaxy S23 Ultra compared to the iPhone 14 Pro. Apple is still ahead but not 55%.

There are plenty of capitalists who would disagree by arguing that "intellectual property" isn't capital because such thing isn't even possible. Many anarcho-capitalists hold this position. I'm not versed enough to argue it in depth, but the basic premise is that you can't "own" an idea/thought, and there's no scarcity at play with ideas so it fails the basic test for property.
Well execution pool doesn't even do parallelism really, just concurrency for the most part (thanks GIL). And JavaScript handles concurrency far better than Python; its event loop is designed for just that. JS and Py can also use subprocesses for true parallelism.

C and Java threads are better than Python because, uh, they can actually run in parallel. Rust adds convenience and safety on top, plus its own event loops. Golang has Goroutines. Erlang has some very powerful solution that I don't remember.

IDK about PHP and Perl, barely touched them. Maybe they're worse than Python for this. Everything else isn't. Python was not originally built with these use cases in mind, which is totally fine, but I'm not going to pick Python if I'm doing complex concurrency/parallelism. For simple process pools, Python is good enough.

But their choice will make some people decide not to use their software. If I have an issue that I'm looking for support for, and discover that it doesn't exist outside of something like Discord, I would stop using that software.

It may be that there aren't many like me, or that the devs don't want users like me, but nonetheless, choosing a poor support forum will lose some users.

I initially wanted to like this, but the website made me feel really creepy (I'm not dating though, so I'm not your target audience).

You say "swipe profiles of the opposite gender", why would gender matter to an AI?

As in, why wouldn't you just say "what type of person are you interested in", and have all the options. Again, the AI doesn't care what your interest is, it just needs to have some idea of how to behave.

Ok, so I kinda tried it, and now I see, you don't "require" opposite sex, you just say "what are you interested in. I'd think Bi people wouldn't want to have to choose, so maybe an "both" or "either" option would work (? - ask a Bi person, don't go on my recommendation).

So now I'm getting a tinder like experience, and I swiped right. But I have to keep swiping?

Why? It's an AI, it isn't going to "choose" me, so why make me go though the pain of waiting to find out if she is going to talk to me?

The "generate opening lines" is a title I don't like, and then you want me to past something from somebody elses bio? How did I get to someone's bio? Was I supposed to know to copy that at some point?

Anyway, I'm not a target user, but I think you need a bunch of work on UX/UI, and really figure out what problem you're trying to solve, and if this is even the right way to solve it.
That's certainly the legal theory that the DOJ is going to push.

The counter argument that I'm sure Google will bring to the table is that (a) that advice was given in the context of helping engineers understand that legal definitions and vernacular definitions are different, and it is the nature of adversarial court systems that words they think they're using with one meeting can be taken out of context by an opponent in a court case, so think about what they are saying, and (b) all of the above is just facts and the government suppressing a corporation's right to state facts would be a clear and obvious violation of the First Amendment.

But these are two legal arguments and it's hard to predict how the court will decide.

> it's also a much newer problem in as much as syntax-highlighting is much newer feature

Just an aside. I wouldn't associate syntax highlighting with new. It's almost as old as text editors. Accurate syntax highlighting in real-time visual text editors is over 40 years old by now and was becoming common by the late 1980s.

GNU Emacs gained syntax highlighting in 1989 and it was considered late to the party. Many programming editors and IDEs had syntax highlighting by then.

I feel like leaving the "backing up" section of this till last is burying an important part of realistic threat analysis here: i.e. the risk of losing access to data from losing, accidentally destroying, or a malfunction of your Yubikey is substantially higher then the risk of compromise.

If you set all this up, then it would be an expected outcome that the most likely thing you'll be doing is needing to recover from a disaster, not prevent a compromise.
So, personal anecdotal experience.

You have a working garage. Good for you - however a metric ton folk don’t. Last stats I read had something like 75% of owners had access to one, compared to only 39% of renters.

In addition the Midwest seems to have a higher number of usable garages, but the moment you hit any city then you’re going to be damn lucky.

Your apparent dismissal of other people’s range anxiety based upon your personal experience, is all rather disappointing.
> But that's an naive ideological take on the virtues of business; whilst at the same time you offer a naive cynical take on the vices of politics.

I don't think that's a virtue of businesses. It's their primary function, and their primary good: producing useful stuff or services for their customers, and employment to their employees. The more useful their product/service, the more money they get, and the better their customers' and employees' lives will be. If they campaign to make that easier by making regulation less onerous, that's in pursuit of those primary goals.

That's different to a government job (e.g. in regulation-setting/enforcing) where their sole job is to set and maintain good standards in their area. They provide no value other than that, and if they aren't even doing that, then they're worse than useless. They're useless and they cost money we aren't allowed to refuse to pay.
