> Sure, you might need that BMW to "drive to work" but obviously a significant fraction of that car's purchase price isn't for "the sake of maintaining their job". Even a benchmark of "cheapest sedan you can buy" is tricky, because you can take public transit (depending on where you live), buy used, carpool, or bike. All of which get you to work but in a slightly worse way. Where do you draw the line between necessity and paying a premium for a better experience (ie. consumption)?

The thing is, a company can buy or lease that BMW as the CEO's company car and the taxman won't bat an eye. It's the double standard that really bothers me.

The words "undefined reference to '__main'" give me war flashbacks.
It seemed to flow the other way: had Russia believed that Ukraine was preparing bioweapons, or wanted to use that excuse, Putin would have absolutely used that in his speeches justifying the invasion.

Instead, American right-wing conspiracy theorists seized on the idea, and then Russian media started talking about it.
Huh? That's just totally incorrect. Consider FedEx, UPS, DHL, even USPS.

Perhaps some things we just shouldn't be allowed to do
It’s especially a problem with women and minorities. Doctors just don’t believe them. I’m neither of those and I had to convince my doctor that I had Lyme disease. I had the bullseye right where the tick had bit me. It was clearly Lyme disease. He assumed it couldn’t be because it took 8 weeks for the bullseye to show up (it’s usually a matter of days in America). He did not know that European Lyme disease takes much longer for the bullseye to appear. He at least had the tact to call me later and apologize after he did more research
Actually I was having this same conversation a couple of days ago. Despite all the advances in build systems I still find Makefiles and make so dependable and just works. Yes yes it not a fancy nor bundled with a lang/domain specific dependency manager. But I can just get started!
There’s no specific link between SBS and hypnosis except for this particular case.

The problem is:
1. The science seems to point towards ‘Shaken Baby Syndrome’ being able to be caused by several different things, including ones that don’t even involve physical trauma, so physical shaking is only one cause amongst many whereas most doctors and the justice system still mostly confidentially assert it’s always from shaking. Saying SBS is always a result of shaking is junk science.

2. Hypnosis is a way to extract confessions, but it’s probably extremely likely to extract false confessions. Hence why it’s generally disallowed, because it’s pseudoscience.

3. The particular case involving (1) assuming SBS is always from shaking and (2) a false confession from hypnosis happened in Texas.

So that’s the link.
Because you would need to check every message against a hash map of disallowed private APIs.

The performance degradation would be so significant it would render many apps and most of the OS unusable.
The mammoth. https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/06/taming-mammoth-let-peoples-op...
I recently had the experience of moving to a rural area, where I didn't know anyone for 2+hours away. I worked from home.

Within a month I knew a few people to ask if I wanted to buy 1/4 cow or more. It wouldn't have been hard to find lamb or goat either, but would probably need to call a person that knows a person that knows the farmer. By the second hunting season I had two people bring me jerky from their hunt, and offer bargain prices for game meat. Buying rural meat is about having a deep freeze in the garage and buying in bulk.

Aside from the meat, there are several people near me that have egg stands. They put out eggs by the road and have a jar to collect cash. Similar situation for veggie harvest time.

I think it falls in the same trap as lamb, mutton and goat. Americans don't like food with a lot of flavor. That's also why there are fairly few fermented foods that are commonly eaten and why Tilapia is a popular fish.
One phenomenon I don’t think psyop brigades seem to have caught on to, is that by flooding comment sections with controversial statements they invite vigorous debate, which ends up boosting engagement. In the end they bring more attention to the stories they are attempting to squash.

How can you afford to be 10x cheaper? Google being overkill?
Completely agree. Half the lactation consultants have never breastfed themselves. The advice my wife got from the nurses versus what she got from her own mother and my grandmother were completely at odds. Both of those women told her to just keep doing it and to ignore the nurses while the professionals were single mindedly focused on a few days of weight loss. The milk came in (as all the older women expected) and my daughter breastfed for many years after.

Really the advice given is simply ridiculous. I honestly think most men who's children have nursed can give better advice than the lactation consultants. One that always makes me roll my eyes is the idea that a breastfed child should eat for a few minutes and then be full for an hour or two. That is simply... Not how it works. Babies like eating and being with mom. Breastfeeding mothers should expect to be with their newborn all the time. We are lucky to know many breastfeeding mothers and I don't know any family where the baby is satiated after ten minutes. And yet... The professionals are convinced this is how it works
If the third party App Store is owned and operated by the bank then there would be no choice.

I can't recall the exact details, but something didn't work anymore and all the things said "upgrade to 8" and it wasn't until after I got to 8 that I realized there were ways to keep 7 and keep it working.

Honestly, the feeling that I got "forced" into 8 is what makes me mostly dislike the company, and will eventually bounce me out once I get the motivation.
Amazon inflating rates after capturing the market, permitting counterfeits, and penalizing sellers offering lower prices off-Amazon, has nothing to do with market efficiency or commoditization.
"just give us root on your system" install scripts like that are a security thing, yes.

I think the issue is more the attitude towards security and system stability that is implied by such installation methods, which is apaprently endemic to the entire "JS ecosystem". That attitude being "who cares about security or stability?"

When It's my system and I don't want to mess with it, just set stuff up and have it run trouble free and do the things I want (and only I want), then I do care about such things and agree that JS has no place other than sacrificial toy boxes that get insulated from "real" computing like they was a modem with its phone number posted at the payphones by the 2600 meetup.

Homebrew built almost everything from source back when everyone was already migrating to it. Fink and MacPorts being frequently broken was really the big driver, IMO.

As for why Homebrew packages seemed to be broken less often, I can only speculate. At least one big benefit it had was being on GitHub. A lot of folks were already familiar with how to cut a PR. Not so with how to submit a Portfile patch to the MacPorts Trac.
Consider migrating to a different channel.
Basic life lesson – if you enjoy something, do not do it competitively.
This. This is what she meant. But the problem is, if you really like home automation and don't want to spend an arm and a leg buying just one spec, you'll have problems and will have to use multiple hubs.
That's such a weak argument. Suppose Amazon does both, at different times (which they do); do you think they should cancel out and therefore not get in trouble?

After AI, next is fungal computing?
This unique book explores fungi as sensors, electronic devices, and potential future computers, offering eco-friendly alternatives to traditional electronics. Fungi are ancient, widely distributed organisms ranging from microscopic single cells to massive mycelium spanning hectares. They possess senses similar to humans, detecting light, chemicals, gases, gravity, and electric fields. It covers fungal electrical activity, sensors, electronics, computing prototypes, and fungal language.
> It's telling that this anti-automation and anti-AI movement is finally reaching its crescendo

Is it? I just fail to see how it "reaching its crescendo". Luddites DID destroy machines. Where are the anti-AI people buring data centers down?

If anything I will say there is barely any anti-AI movement happening around the world right now.

There are millions of vegan people choose to not eat meat as their lifestyles. Do you see people choose not to use AI product as their lifestyle? About zero? This is how small so-called anti-AI movement (if exist) is.
Do you live in a binary world, or an analog one?

I mean, if you believe you live in a binary world everything is pretty easy. It's a one or a zero. Capitalism, or some kind of hellish pit of communism.

That is not the real world. Instead it is a moderation of forces. Capitalist robber barons would enslave you just as quickly as the most brutal authoritarian would, if allowed. We succeed not because we let the captains of industry do what they like, for we know their greed can never be sated. Instead we have we share are progress in a way that benefits humanity and not the few. We strive to make the world better and not just ourselves richer.

No, of course not; that would be foolish. I'm pointing out that this argument goes equally well to justify either practice, and a lot more ill besides. That makes it a weak argument, and it makes someone who uses it look likewise, because who'd go for this if they had anything better?

Some things I do, all running locally with Home Assistant so minimal cloud shenanigans:

* Turn the light red in my laundry room when a load is done

* Turn all my lights off when I set my alarm at night

* Slowly turn light on before my alarm goes off in the morning

* Turn off lights when I leave the house, then turn on the one by my front door if I get home after dark

None of these are life changing, but they're all marginally useful. And for me, half the fun is the sense of accomplishment getting these automations to work

The original meaning of mutton is an adult sheep. In English I don't believe there is a proper name for goat meat other than "goat meat". In some areas of the Anglosphere mutton is used to refer to goat meat.
I think people are overblowing his investment in making it competitive

It's quite easy to cheat in Zwift as you can put any weight on your profile (and the metric for measuring speed is generally W/kg). As well as different trainers have different power measurement accuracy, etc

But to some degree Zwift and other 3rd party Zwift race-tracking platform find the cheaters based on outliers and other factors and remove them from the list

All he did is figure out a way to cheat which should be simple to detect by the platform itself (changing weight mid-ride -> ie make yourself lighter uphill and heavier downhill) and demonstrated it. And he got banned for it

The way I see it, it's the same as someone demonstrating an LLM prompt injection or a cheat in a video game. A geek hacking a thing they like and showcasing it
oh wow that's perfect! In fact, this does something a little extra I wish Unity could do - because I can play the edit scene and game scene side by side, I can modify experimental properties at runtime, then copy+paste them into the edit scene on the fly (in Unity it's a lot of copy+paste into notepad, stopping the game and hoping you didn't forget anything and pasting back in).

Have you ever run a business where you have to manage your own inventory? What you listed and likely the 5 things you omitted constitute real work. Perhaps amazon's fees are capricious but they're doing all the work for you. You can manage your own inventory and shipping logistics and still sell on Amazon

So predictable. "Please keep Mr. Feynman away from the locked safes."

It seems really hard to get this 100% fair, because so much relies on physical equipment. E.g. "Elite riders learned the serial codes of batches of smart trainers that overreported a rider’s power, and sought them out on the used market" isn't necessarily "cheating" – if you happen to have one of these trainers but don't know it reports the wrong data. And what's to prevent someone from just hacking these things (e.g. the firmware, or modify it so there's less friction when pedalling, endless possibilities)?

Seems basically impossible to detect all of this without physical access to the equipment. The stupid "cycles better than a doped up Lance Armstrong" ones get caught (what did you expect lol), but the more careful people won't.
Are you then suggesting that it doesn’t matter? That we should just shrug and give up?

Or that we should just allow for any group of people to do anything to another group of people, because it just happens, it’s just human nature, so whatever?

you either wouldn’t have a business at all without FBA, or you’d have higher margins with the same net earnings.

if you don’t like FBA try advertising on facebook. it’s very expensive because it’s very effective. the cost of the ad is so great that socks have to cost $20 and t shirts made in china have to cost $30.

i used to buy from marketplace on amazon. but dealing direct with sellers is worse than the ebay gamble. so i only buy FBA. i prefer direct sale from amazon if possible. the price is always higher but i have guaranteed no hassle.

otherwise i shop local.

i don’t know about dirty tricks but from my POV amazon earned their market by having consistent and reliable customer service. if you want to increase your sales it’s worth it to ride on _their_ brand. $250k to $5m for a mom and pop drop shipper sounds absolutely fantastic to me.
Thanks, I was genuinely curious to see any answers.
Prize game machines (crane games, stacker, etc.) are scams (though technically not gambling since they are predictable?) but they seem to be the last arcade machines standing in many venues.

They have a contempt for the cost of human workers and, frankly, just cost in general.
I wouldn’t be shocked if third party solutions become mandatory for this use case in the near future, similar to how smart thermostats controlled by the utility company are a thing already. I know some areas have incentive programs to have utility controlled car charging plugs already as well.
>would want know how to maintain the automation.

Ah, I see we're following the foundation timeline.
No, they never said anything about lying. That would be selling something the customer didn’t paying for.

Selling lower quality goods like the article mentions is not a problem if the customers are fine with it given the lower price of the goods. The customer is responsible for making their own decisions about whether to prioritize cost or quality. As the person you were replying to says, by their actions (purchasing the cheaper, automated cloth), you can tell that the customers to appear to vastly prefer the cheaper, poor quality cloth. Who are we to tell them their preferences are wrong?

Edit: I see your original comment. Where the heck did you get that factory owners were doing illegal worker displacement or doing false advertisement? I don’t see that claim in the article.
what I'm suggesting is "abuse of total reproducibility of the system" or "premonition"
