It's odd that we are talking about 'hopium' when mass transit is already a thing in many countries.
Maybe I'm too European, but ~5K out of ~44K total per month doesn't seem too bad. It's also based on what they earn, rather than a static sum, so seems totally OK for what you get back from it.

The data confirms my point of trends worsening in all the charts. Especially from 2015 (uppss... what happened that year? nothing like a small war) onwards. Check the education graph I've linked. You're correct that it rose in the beginning, but it went down from 2015 to 2018 (the last data available).

Personally from hiring people and from my brothers 2 businesses there is a stagnation too. The government talks about "reforming" the universities to break with Bologna system with internationally recognized degrees - this won't help either. Additionally along with the reform and with all the sanctions it'll be harder to go to foreign universities for students.
And don't forget all the "arrests" of prominent scientists:

Population is declining and the war won't help with that either. It doesn't matter than in Japan it's worse, we're talking the number of people in active economic age going down. This is not good in the long term, who would work and pay pensions? Oil is a finite resource.

About the corruption, I can tell you many personal stories (tax authorities & fire department are one of the worst ones and if you try to build something without bribes it's impossible to get the paperwork done ), but this would be hearsay, not data. There are 2 global indices and both suffer from subjectivity. You can check the trends for direct foreign investments and capital outflows from Russia, especially after 2015.
Russian ministers live like billionaires and fly their dogs to Europe in private jets (check the story of Shuvalov's dogs flights). I'm not aware of such gimmicks in the "morally bankrupt" western countries. You're correct that it's subjective, but it's subjectively better in Sweden and Germany than in Russia or Ukraine. If you can't provide a better metric your argument is even more subjective, because it's not aggregated from many people over the years (the trend should be correct even if the values are not).

So please provide links and data, not your "expectations".
And do you live in Russia and have personal experience as I do to have a better subjective perspective?
The goal with this kind of thing is not about actually finding spies. By flattening discourse you make it easier to spot pockets of true discontent. And as a side effect it pits the hoi polloi against each other instead of together against the state.
Huh? Google says MGM Resorts opex for 2022 11.6B or 31M/day, net income 1.4B or 3.8M/day.

It doesn't seem unreasonable to say they are, in fact, losing 8.4M/day to opex.
No, I know. I needed to drop a /s in there and realized I'm not on Reddit.
Many of these are car-specific. Is there a reason you can't use buses on those roads, instead of building train tracks?

Buses use existing infrastructure, cost less than the train itself, are generally good when electric, require significantly less engineering to implement, cut down on noise and air pollution if they replace car drivers, etc.

Safety may or may not be as big a concern with buses; this article [0] seems to indicate Tha bus travel is as safe (if not safer) than train and car travel. That doesn't seem intuitive to me, but it's not a stretch to assume that bus travel isn't significantly less safe than train. This could even be improved with dedicated bus lanes.

Fast floods are definitely a concern, but I'm not qualified to say for certain how large the issue is.

Money not earned is equivalent to money lost in this case. It will affect their quarterly results the same way.
In most places in the world, that's nowhere near a low salary for a developer.
That's a very high salary in a lot of places, perhaps the developers don't feel the need to get 100k+/year...? .-.
I'd say that responsible organizations know that a hack is inevitable and you evaluate based on the response, but I've heard from people who've worked at MGM in the past that the place is disgustingly cutthroat.

Only if that land preservation is in the middle of the city ("land preservation" that typically looks like gated-in parking lots). Nature access can and is subsidized in the city.
As a frequent user of autopilot, I can assure you it is nothing close to NOT DRIVING. It is advanced cruise control and you need to be attentive. Even full self driving does many many things imperfectly, requiring you to take over. I'm not even talking about dangerous situations, just regular driving. It often won't move over when you want, it's too rough taking off ramps, and so on.

If you want to go down the road of regulation, I would like to see ALL driving assists subjected to the same laws. So no cruise control for you without cameras watching your eyes and all the rest. Though personally, I think it's fine as it is, making it very clear that you are still driving. Tesla doesn't do well at the latter in their marketing.

> Not everyone is living in the first world with flagship devices, unless you mean only those are entitled to play games.

Right, but unity and unreal performance were possible to make adequate on my HTC One M7 a decade ago, a device so old that you can't publish apps compatible with it to the play store any more because of the minimum target SDK version rules.

I think stopping sharing is possible it’s stopping generation that’s probably incompatible

AI is taking off like a rocket. Soon it’s going to be as easy as asking chatGPT to generate the photos/videos/whatever you want - and while chatGPT may be censored, there’s almost certainly going to be open source models that are not censored
nobody cares about precision in financial calculations except for nerds. particularly areas like reporting tend to have significant errors, and not just sigma.

this is now a fintech anecdotes thread, but my first ever fintech job was part of a two man special priviledges team directly under a director of X at one of the sifis. we were supposed to cut across multiple departments and through red tape with the main goal if eliminating significant overhead in certain processes (we brought some multi-day multi-step calculations down to 8 minutes in one instance, 2 minutes in another, kept us on a vendor list for a very very very long time). i didn't know how things are done, so i used bigdecimal throughout, with a lot of precision and explicit rounding rules. i did back of napkin numerical analysis for at least inner loop code. we duplicated work done by other departments (!!!), things like instrument pricing, because we couldn't wait for their batch jobs to complete. at the end we were getting from slightly to wildly different results. it took a lot of conversations with business to realize that 1) our calculations were correct 2) for them to realize what the sources of errors were and where they were coming from 3) for everyone to just kind of go eeeehh not a big deal.

i wrote a translator for a subset of j/k to java bytecode using java asm, i was pretty proud of that system, because it allowed to express pricing rules in a what i thought was much more readable way, dynamic reload without restart, but man i am very very sorry for the developers who inherited that system.

I doubt Russia cared much about a cancelled US passport. If they felt he was not worth something to them they would have made sure he was out of Russia.

Personally I don't think it was intentional on his part to get stuck in Russia, just a bad error. But he is certainly living there by their "good will" now, and it shows in his public behaviour.

Australia has a solution to that problem in the form of an island where those who attempt to enter the country illegally are kept while awaiting deportation. The message is clear, do not try to enter the country illegally, you will NOT be allowed to stay. Combine that with a functioning legal migration policy and make sure to enforce the illegal migration ban rigorously. Just as important is to make sure the message is spread widely in those countries where traffickers operate so their promises of a land of milk and honey where migrants get a house and car and wife without ever having to lift a hand are dispelled. Make clear that the practice of sending 'anchor babies' (underage children/minors who are sent to gain residence permits for themselves - which tends to be easier for unaccompanied children - who are supposed to then turn around and invite their entire families to join them) will not succeed by either finding their families and reuniting those children with them or - if the family can not be found or disavows kinship in hope of using the child in the aforementioned way - by denying the family the right to enter the country.

Also, catch the traffickers and prosecute them, relieve them of their ill gotten gains. In a way the fight against modern traffickers resembles the fight against Barbary pirates in the early 1800s [1] in that the pirates needed to be defeated to put a halt to their activities.

Incidentally, you can choose to bump in both directions. It's more complicated (you need to keep track of which end you allocated each data structure on), but in exchange, the allocator becomes sufficient for many more use cases.

Given a choice, the OP implies that you should position small-but-numerous allocations next to the top, and larger infrequent allocations next to the bottom.
15 was factorised on a 7 qbit computer by IBM, so yes, they could break RSA if scaled up. I'm not sure about elliptic curve. That was over 20 years ago: https://research.ibm.com/blog/factor-15-shors-algorithm

I wonder how possible it is that IBM could have already gone further and are already cracking modern crypto in secret, e.g. funded by the NSA. Is that a crazy conspiracy idea, or actually a possibility?
Pretty cool! I actually wrote something VERY similar a couple of years ago: sless[1]. It's a tool for viewing json-based structured logs. Just like your tool, you can explore into a json object. The difference is, it expects the input to have many json objects, newline separated, and it shows few keys as a preview of the object, to make looking for something in the log easier. It's not quite complete but basic browsing works. It was mainly written to learn more about Urwid[2], a library similar to Curses.

I'm curious if MGM fully understood their cyber risks. Many companies underestimate threats until something like this happens. After seeing MGM, if other hotels beef up security too (very likely), will overall costs for consumers go up?
> so I’m not convinced that we have it worse than a few generations ago.

If it's about comparing generations, it's quite likely that your grandparents (or at least their parents) won't be here to suffer the consequences of modern society (I mean climate change and biodiversity loss), but you will.

So yeah, I'm not convinced that we have it better than a few generations ago.
And in rural America it decidedly is not. Tesla Autopilot/FSD, on the other hand, decidedly is.
If an official government employee is already apparently breaking the law and also threatening you personally, you need to ask yourself whether they'll worry about continuing to break the law in order to make good on their threats.

Note that none of the people that coerced Mayer into breaking the law have been disciplined or even named, so I guess they didn't need to worry about such things after all.

I've heard EFF and corporate lawyers advise people to never speak to law enforcement under any circumstances. The reason is that the police are allowed to lie about their intentions and the facts of the case, and if you say something that is incorrect, you can be prosecuted for lying to them.

So, for example, they can spew a bunch of lies and trick you into incorrectly speculating ("Since Jim was waving that gun at you, then I guess he really did buy it after all"), and then later, you need to prove (probably without the benefit of a recording) that it should have been clear to the officers that it was just speculation, or you go to jail.

Their advice boiled down to politely and repeatedly respond with "I want my lawyer". At least one court has ruled that failing to respond at all to a question (even after repeatedly asking for a lawyer) means that you're now responding (perhaps with body language) and the interrogation is therefore admissible.

> Desktop computing needs a massive push towards finely-grained privacy/security controls in a similar way to how browsers work.

Sure. That’s iOS app sandboxing. And people perpetually complain about the inconvenience of having each application in its own file space and having to click a button (or, gasp, go to the files app) to make data appear in another sandbox.

If you can’t make the UX seamless, as in “the OS can read your mind and know which things to make available in the sandbox” then people will complain. And if you weaken that and start letting more through then you lose the benefits of sandboxing. It’s the same battle that seclinux has faced - secure configurations are often quite inconvenient.
> listen to feedback, and implement.

The whole X debacle has proven once again that Elon will never give up on a bad idea that he has tied his ego to or that was shut down by people he dislikes.

These are exactly the kind of idea that he will jump at once the opportunity arises and the pesky naysayers aren't in the room; "why should we have to bother with any of this privacy or informed consent stuff" is where he's coming from.

That is his style of CEOing, for better or worse.

So, here's the thing about lies.

If I start shouting to millions of people that you've been beating your wife, there's literally nothing you can say to undo this damage.

If you deny it, you'll just bring further attention to the lie.

If you ignore it, I'll keep bringing further attention to the lie.

Politics only works well when everyone follows some basic decorum.
Not really. Taxes are so high because people get a lot of things for cheap/free like Healthcare and education. In countries where this isn't the case (USA for example) you'd easily pay 2 to 3 times the salary to get the same developer.

In this case even only paying the main dev a US wage would be more than the taxes on everything.

So very limited driving scenarios and extremely limited product availability.
I don't think this is quite right - as the other comments point out, Youtube will still play ads and they take 100% cut of the money. They have already announced that Brand is demonetized, so they will pay him 0% while taking 100% of the ad revenue for themselves.
