I'm not familiar enough with the motivations behind that specific amendment. I could see it having been an increased concern over people being okay with ignoring the gentleman's agreement, but a political tit for tat with Roosevelt would also track.
I think your point is that bad PR affects your decision not to use Intuit's products, but I'd argue they're a perfect example of bad PR not being a problem. They have sensationally bad PR, yet they're worth >$100B, one of the 100 most valuable companies in the world, and they dominate their category.

Presumably this is not a solution that has already been applied (unsuccessfully) to the technology in this field, so any comment that starts with "If he's just ... then ..." probably doesn't advance us much.

Might be fantastic, might contain a fundamental flaw that hasn't presented yet, there's basically zero information given in TFA other than one other evidently qualified person has reviewed the design and granted the inventor the appellation of 'crafty'.
I am surprised to see this show up again. The idea was ahead of its time, and sank without a trace. Since then, (and during) multiple orgs have attempted to also put some sort of floor below various maintainers. I see these finally beginning to succeed in some places, although I still struggle on a combination of patreon donations and the occasional grant, for what I do. Simon is semi-retired now but I think dnsmasq is mostly out of trouble. I can think of many others still struggling in obscurity.

Eric himself, had a bout with stomach cancer, and has mostly withdrawn from the web, tired of the perpetual onslaught and criticism. He´s been working on a new book, for a very long time. IMHO he was the right person at the right time, to get open source into the mainstream, and although many might disagree with him, and his politics, I think his contribution to internet history is assured.

ESR´s most recent project was ntpsec.org, which vastly reduced the attack surface of ntp. Another key one used in many places, and needed less now, was

Reddit Removing the Ability to Opt-Out of Ad Personalization
If you think about this for two seconds, it's pretty normal that in the country that has done the most to eliminate cars as a risk to cyclists, cyclists injuries are more their own fault.

The stats from the article you cite say that eBikes are 1.6 times more dangerous, whereas road bikes come in at 2.0 and mountain bikes at 3 for mountain bikes.

So in the grand scheme of things, that extra speed has a bit of a cost but less than some kinds of completely human-powered bikes, and it's nowhere near the cost the lack of infrastructure in the US that is absolutely lethal.

Look at the pedestrian death rates in the US:

https://usa.streetsblog.org/2020/10/10/exactly-how-far-u-s-s...

It's kind of difficult to victim blame people just going about their business walking. They're getting killed because of cars and poor infrastructure.

I would argue that pair riding down a hill on a bike would be very common for kids, regardless of whether they would be able to ride back up together or not. Firstly, it's fun and a bit crazy/wild. And the return trip back up might just be two kids walking and pushing one bike. After all, a non-e-bike would get used exactly like this by kids.

Really, giving a kid any kind of moving vehicle means new risks. Even if everything is right, crashes happen. I seriously doubt the one girl bought her e-bike with the strong consideration of it being a "two person bike". Besides, there are plenty of teens or adults who might weigh the same as those two girls together. The second seat is irrelevant.
English's lack of them greatly assisted alphabets like RADIX-50 for earlier computers. Typewriters, too.
My personal pet peeve with the English language is the placement of symbols at the end of a sentence which change the inflection of the sentence? Oh that was a question, I guess you didn't know until you got to the very end of the sentence! Yes I was shouting that whole time, I guess you didn't know.

I find oh so irritating when reading books and not knowing the inflection of the characters speech until the END of the sentence. I much prefer how other languages put a symbol at the start and end of the sentence. Grumble grumble.
Glad to read to you’re much better prepared!

This is backwards: obviously language evolved from the brain's processing of motion. I mean, beginning somewhere back when we were in the fish/frog times.
Sure, I could almost choose any one on Google as they all follow the same template - here is one: https://coderthemes.com/hyper/saas/index.html

1. Six top-level stats jump out at you: customers, orders, revenue, growth %, current week revenue, previous week revenue. All of these stats are adorned with a few substats (smaller text), almost always a % up/down from last period

2. A few large panels with breakdowns: revenue over time, revenue vs projections, revenue by referral source, revenue by location

3. The top right has your filter buttons, and generally it includes every breakdown dimension on the page. For example, "let's look at this dashboard by just the Google referral source" or "let's look at our stats from the U.S. geography only" or "let's filter this for last 2 years only"

4. Drill-down is "top selling products." This isn't truly a drill-down, as it is still an aggregation, so you really want to drill-down to the record-level. If you filter the dashboard for "U.S. sales by the Google referral source for the last 2 years only", people invariably want to see what the actual row-by-row sales were, and that is the drill-down. They can easily export this and reconcile to source systems. As an example, for some of the work I do, sales reps don't just want aggregations about their sales leads, they want the actual names of actual sales leads (as rows) so they can contact them.

So again, four major parts to a dashboard, which really drive from two simpler (likely familiar to most data analysts): metrics and dimensions.

We made a vertical train factory automation game. Railgrade. And we had to solve many or the exact same complexities. I remember the exact moment we too built the track builder to route off A*.

This is, in fact, a huge part of the problem with the T. A the majority of people that benefit from it -- those outside of Boston who get the gains of its economic benefit without being dependent on it for transit -- are in a position to defund it. It's a microscopic repeat of the US as a whole, where the geographically larger but empty regressive areas can reap the benefits of the more concentrated and productive areas while simultaneously contributing far less but convincing themselves that they're somehow being victimized.

Without Boston, Massachusetts would be significantly poorer. But without the rest of Massachusetts, Boston would be significantly richer.
Not too hard to do if you drive a lot faster ;)
As is mentioned in the article, it's not a requirement that you get paid more for working less. Many would take a pay decrease to be able to do the 4-day work week.

Why should an employer always be able to impose their desires on my lifestyle and not the other way around? Ultimately it's just another piece of negotiation, like pay, PTO, remote, etc.
> As an example, the following pseudo-code:

begin dishwashing:
gather(plates)
sink.load(plates)
each plate(rinse)
each plate(dishwasher.load)
dishwasher.on()
end dishwashing

I guess this is the problem with "low code". An actual dishwasher program would maybe look something like:

/* Setup some arcane registers and timers */
...
init_program (&setup); while (state == WASHING);
// enable_pump (78); while (state == PUMPING); // 62 too fast - Fred 2007
// enable_pump (81); while (state == PUMPING); // For Peru market - Kim 2011
enable_pump (1); enable_pump (1); enable_pump (1); // Relay maybe stuck tickle it
enable_pump (11); while (state == PUMPING); // ???
enable_pump (99); while (state == PUMPING);
...

But obviously without the comments. Sooner or later many programs need complex state machines and some order at the language level the keep our sanity.

Got these anyway. ZIRP priced the middle class out of equity ownership. That historic bull run is from goosing the numbers, not record productivity. The S&P was ~750 in 1990. Things are not 6x better.

We should let treasury auctions decide the yield curve, not a committee of 12 people.

At my current day job we have many, many such "enums" that slowly expand over time. I've seen many bugs from new values not being taken into account in the several places one has to remember to double check. Sometimes testing catches these, sometimes it doesn't.
A designated domain for domain fronting is useless because it would immediately get added to every middlebox's list of blocked domains.

I feel old. I've been advising people to get a trusted VPN and use that tunnel to purchase a second trusted (unrelated) VPN and double tunnel, with at least the first VPN being outside of your country. The first sees your payment details (if you gave them one) and IP but can only see traffic to the second vpn. The second sees your traffic but can only see the first VPN's IP and hopefully they let you pay anonymously there as well.

Of course, with my way and Obscura, you should use a leak-proof setup that doesn't rely on you OS/device being nice (looking at MS and Apple there).
I still buy everything I like and want to ever watch again on physical media. I try to get the DVD/Blu-ray combos.

I think it’s worth it even if it’s available on D+ or whatever other platform. And I can rip them and stream them myself. Which I sometimes do for trips.

I think while a little tedious sometimes, it’s worth it.

I hate the Everything-For-Rent world we live in today.
We all know people like this. Anyone that uses this as an example of security overreach or whatever, immediately loses my respect. I am completely happy with what happened here, because this is precisely the sort of childish attitude of someone that would do something risky and stupid “because he could”.
Sad day honestly. Been a long time subscriber, almost sure since the beginning.

The variety is just larger than the streaming platforms. And to be honest while they tracked the DVDs you rented you never felt you had this bird on your back watching your every move.

On streaming you might try something, get through half way of it, give up, and next thing you know the platform thinks it’s your most favorite thing, and starts shoveling “things you may like” while thing you hated sits in the “continue watching” for the next two months.

So, anyway, happy customer. Sorry to see it go.
Just getting started with cryptocurrency I would say. Bitcoin Spot ETFs decisions being delayed by SEC, Ether Futures ETFs were just approved by SEC. Crypto will likely be part of our everyday lives eventually, we just won’t know it.
My dad is getting up there in age now. He has been on the internet since its birth, and is very familiar and savvy with how it works. He knows how DNS and HTTPS and DKIM, etc. work at a very technical level. He knows how search engines work and ads work at a technical and business level. He is familiar with all of the scams and their types, thanks to me getting him into watching scam-bait streamers/tubers.

The other day he had a flight home from an upcoming trip cancelled on him by Frontier. They sent him an email to notify him. He verified the email was legitimately from them. Frontier wanted him to resolve the issue on their website, but my mom was panicking and pressuring him to just call customer service. It turns out Frontier literally does not have a customer service phone number, so every single result on Google is actually a scam call center. While he was slightly flustered about his plans being changed and my mom freaking out, he had a momentary lapse in his scam-dar and just followed the first official looking link for Frontier customer service in Google search results. They “helped” him “resolve” his problem, but in the process asked him for his credit card number. At the end of the call he asked them to send a confirmation email, and he immediately noticed that the mail was spoofed and not from a Frontier domain despite everything looking very official. He then gave them some very choice words and immediately cancelled his card.

I guess my point is that scams are so prevalent these days that even very sharp and savvy people can still get caught up in it sometimes. It’s also pretty insane that Frontier just doesn’t have a phone number. It’s also downright criminal that Google is happy to help scammers as long as they get a cut of the profit.
How would it affect those things any more than devices' use of 8.8.8.8 for insecure DNS (which is already quite common) does?
Oh, yes, I do know that this scene is quite large. I still remember the drama of when AI Dungeon began cracking down on NSFW content due to model licensing (?), or the thermonuclear response that followed character.ai doing something vaguely similar.

It's more that I always pictured AI developers (especially ones that interact with models directly) as these very intelligent, selfless scientists - and not ordinary people who are okay with using these technologies for more "hedonistic" purposes, so to say. Nothing wrong with it obviously, and I'm really interested in seeing where this stuff is headed for in the future.

There are actually a good number of words that historically used a diaeresis in English, especially up until about a century ago: noël, reëlect, reënter, Chloë, Zoë, noöne, preëmpt, daïs, coöperate, coöpt, coördinate, zoölogy...

Right, but the surface area of the glass and the proximity to the heat source more than make up for this. Just hold a phone under load and it’ll be obvious.

His idea was published in the last linux journal, and generated in part, in sympathy for my state of health at the time. Since then there has been a lot of decent research on the "load" and emerging government support for critical projects, as log4j woke up quite a few folk as to the problems that we are creating for ourselves with bad maintenence of open source code.

IRL, however, we're not going to see a rack and pinion lift a 250 wagon x 100 tonne load 2.5 kilometre long iron ore train up a short one story high incline (throw in the engine and the wagon weight that's ~ 30,000 metric tonne).

No, it's Mitch Hedberg.
You jest but this is a computationally slow algorithm that only works for right angle triangles in a Cartesian space. There’s very reasonable and fast trigonometric approximations. The general form would be the cosine law which applies to any triangle. We can derive this from more abstract metrics over an inner product space.. a sort of vector space of any dimension.

Yup. It's in the ToS. Most companies reserve the right to shut down services with no notice. At least MS provided you with 2 years of notice. MS also provided multiple solutions for persons without access to their old email, account information, or receipt.
Yup. Mostly the US operates (both privately and in government) on an expectation of good behavior, and mostly it works. I believe this is referred to as a “high trust” society?

>Im quite bothered by the “standard” one foot roll-out that car manufacturers advertise these day with their 0-60 times. It’s not 0-60 with it when there’s one foot roll out so it just feels unrealistic. And besides the difference in time measured between actual 0-60 and the one with the one foot roll-out is huge.

Dumping clutch is also unrealistic to anything done daily. Or them most likely doing that test in absolute best conditions possible.

Personally I'd like more 5-60 test results so no traction control/clutch dumping or other tricks to shave fractions.

Anyone who has done software engineering on a reasonably sized "2 pizza team" would have to acknowledge that it's easier to do software engineering if you're all co-located at the same physical location in the same timezone several days a week.

The fact that we _can_ get work done remotely doesn't mean it's the most effective way for software engineers (which make up most engineering teams these days) to work.
>What's more of a problem is the opposite: if you increase the rollout so that the car's ECUs think it's being driven normally, and then mash the pedal to see how fast it goes, you get dramatically slower numbers

No, that's a good thing, maybe that would force them to not fuck up their throttle response!

I think that particular quirk is just car companies trying to make slow speed driving easier by filtering inputs more.
