I'm not a cryptobro, but I was really hoping for a while that browser based miners could maybe solve the payment issue.

I was happy to trade some cpu cycles for an ad free experience. I would win, the site would win, it seemed like a really nice idea.

People immediately balked at the concept though and while I have no faith in crypto or its proponents at all, it's nice to think of what could have been.
There are plenty of factory/labor jobs that don’t require people to wreck their bodies. Many of them provide workstations where people have the option to sit/stand or they are walking around most of the time. Occasionally bending over, not too much heavily lifting. Many of my ex coworkers who did these jobs were in fantastic shape. It’s disingenuous to pick out an extreme example.
Yes that's my point.

And since literally nobody wants a policy that reliably and predictably costs more than not having the policy it's not a thing. And since it's not a thing anyone wants insurers don't really have it.

Yes somewhere there's like someone that might have something similar for sale, sort of. But the point of the comment is that in general businesses don't have it.

I constantly see people say that retailers don't confront shoplifters because insurance will just cover it and it's not worth it. It's true they often don't, but not for that reason, since it's basically not ever insured short of a more extraordinary event.
Really beautiful.

Why 0.5G and not 1G though? Aside from the narration that decision doesn't seem to have any impact on the video. I would expect that difference to have a noticeable effect on things like the posture of the plants, the design of the pool, the flight of the butterflies, the posture and gait of the man. Ever accidentally bump a drinking glass, but not enough to knock it over? A wine glass sitting statically on a table will look pretty much the same at 0.5G, but half the downward force means you're probably much more likely to accidentally knock it over. So would we really use the same sort of glasses on a space station like this?

Aside from one line about "walk, don't run, don't jump", all of this would be arguably more realistic/accurate if they just called it 1.0G, so I find that decision to be curious.
THIS is the problem. Software, from games to business applications has the general problem that people don't consider it worth what it costs to produce. Most "tech" companies can't exist, and certainly cannot be the size they are, based on paying customers.

If you look at even very cheap providers like fastmail or protonmail, who provide a decent subset of office products online for a subscription fee ... they're <100 people companies, and not for lack of trying to grow.
I have a T495 and it's fine.
Why would you say something is wrong with home owning. Why are you surprised that market conditions change over 5 years?
After reading Chip War I read Conquering the Electron by Eric Brach and Derek Cheung. Very good book that goes into a bit more detail than Chip War. Chip War focuses more on the geopolitics than the science.
Here's the one-liner I use for downloading playlists in parallel: \n
yt-dlp --flat-playlist --print id $(cat dl-target-playlist) | parallel yt-dlp -x --wait-for-video 3 --download-archive ~/archive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v={}
/n I'm not sure if it's faster than the default yt-dlp in parallel but with this script you just have to modify the file named dl-target-playlist.
My understanding is that the librarian of Congress has granted an exemption to the DMCA anti-circumvention clause to allow ripping DVDs for non-infringing fair use purposes, including personal backups.

I am not a lawyer, though.
Never saw original thread, I am intrigued by what responses however the responses will be given here given the current geopolitical/economic climate with rising interest rates and tech doomery through the news cycle. Thanks for posting.
> Well, it would increase detection. Increased detection does not always mean increased crime levels.

surely this is figured out and accounted for. The healthcare industry has been coming up with better tests forever that result in more disease detections. But they don't scream to the hills of a skyrocketing outbreak because they account for the better test.

About:

My name is Gavin and I am a mechanical engineering graduate from the University of Victoria that is currently working full-time as a process engineer. I am highly motivated in pursuing a career in software development. Outside of working hours, I volunteer part-time as a backend developer and a software developer for 2 separate non-profits. Additionally, I have initiated software solutions in past and current roles, and completed personal projects in my spare time. I love working with others and am easy to get along with. Looking forward to connecting!
oh hey, i just saw this option after you mentioned it. thanks. it’s really quite helpful
How have you benefitted from the replaceable battery? I like the idea, but when does it come in handy?
But then how do avoid errors introduced due to the lack of app awareness? For example the old app can keep writing data with the old schema, whereas the new version makes assumptions based on the new schema, which could be broken by the new data in the old schema that don't follow the same assumptions.

Seems like a dangerous way to introduce very hard to find data inconsistencies.
My school had at least a thousand DEC MIPS/Ultra/pmax workstations in 1993. When they announced they were killing the line we bought thousands of Suns and HP-UX machines. I remember seeing 2 Alpha machines in a special computer lab and I could log in but none of our engineering software ran on it. Maybe in a few years but I graduated by then.
Heavy machinery all has the same key unless the customer paid for the option to have different keys. Most modern stuff has a GPS attached and some form of cell connection: the machine won't start if the machine isn't in the geographical area it is supposed to be. If you have the key you can start anything.
I agree. Today we help IT teams solve this with our integration level RBAC but there's a lot of interesting ideas brewing internally for this very problem.
yeah I get the benefits. And yeah the "repair" argument I agree, good luck finding a bad stick :)

The real frustrating thing as for now in the real world is, there is an extremely low number of laptops with soldered ram that offers 64 GB. And the few that do, charge an absurd amount of money for it.

With socketed ram, I can:

- buy the cheapest built-in config of a laptop

- then buy the RAM I currently need on my own, often saving a few hundreds bucks just doing that

- then, in a few years, buy some new RAM again, when I need it, if I need it, instead of having to buy a whole new laptop.

That's how I went with thinkpads during 15 years. Now I have to pay 500$ more to be a bit future proof. If the manufacturer offers it. Double that if you want a mac.

So, still today, I'm 100% taking socketed ram instead of soldered one.
Thanks! That last one lists 84 results. None looks obviously like 'main'. Trying a random one:

bazel run //in_memory/clustering:graph
ERROR: Cannot run target //in_memory/clustering:graph

I'm going to wait until someone updates the readme I think!
It has nothing to do with fraud.

Even if every business is completely and scrupulously honest this kind of insurance policy is completely unworkable because it's not an insurable risk, it's just a cost of doing business.

It's like trying to buy insurance to cover your monthly cost of airline travel. Like it's not a thing, that doesn't make sense.
> and cracking down on them would be considered racist (well, most of them are white, the argument is confusing).

Most of the shoplifters are too lol!
Even before then, their cash cow was first BASIC implementations, on at least 6502 and 8080 relatively initially.

Then Multiplan ran on most of the major microcomputers of the time.

It's interesting that in their history, strict Wintel is more the anomaly in their history.
Having used tablets with external keyboards (both integrated into cases and freestanding), as well as laptops, my on-the-go preference would be a flyweight laptop with integrated keyboard and e-ink screen. Low battery consumption, universally-readable screen, real keyboard, Linux, and low distractions.

Onyx BOOX + Bluetooth keyboard + Termux ... gets me some of the way there, but it's not quite the same, and it's cumbersome to set up. I'd avoid Android if I could.

Thing is that a freestanding (and lightweight) display is also quite useful on its own, for reading, and any hybrid design is going to bump weight up a lot, which starts negating comfort of holding that in your hands and reading.

Which is to say I'm validating your design and thinking here. Watching with interest.

About: I'm an adaptable senior level full stack engineer specialized in backend and platform level systems and architecture with 7 years of enterprise experience.

Fun stuff: I developed an in-house implementation of a universal data graph (comme ci: https://tyk.io/docs/universal-data-graph/) from scratch as there weren't any commercially available at the time. I'm currently playing around with Rust, WebGPU, and DSP to make my own synthesizer. I am consistently the most enthusiastic dancer at the christmas party and love physics.
This was a diplomat joking about the claims from Canada that had no evidence. Canada said "We have credible evidence about India involvement murder of a Canadian citizen". The diplomat meme'd with "We have heard credible rumours of cocaine being on Trudeau's plane".

Then the joke got misrepresented either accidentally or purposefully for clicks.
Let me correct that title for you: "root with a single command: sudo"
>I agree realtors generally don't provide value for the money anymore. However, all else being equal, removing realtors will itself make it more profitable to invest in real estate.

I'm a Realtor, but I'm not here to turn this into a pissing match - if you believe that representation doesn't benefit you, then don't use a Realtor. In the same way, if you believe you can represent yourself successfully in court don't use a lawyer or if you can adequately assess your financial future, don't use a financial advisor. Expertise exists for a reason - because I can tell you a lot about water rights, land use, zoning, negotiations, market and pricing, and I can connect you with other professionals to meet your needs. Many people find those professional services to be worth their time and money.

All that said - yes, I think we will see changes to the cost (commissions et al) of real estate services. But when I hear people talk about "normal" real estate transactions or comments like "you don't need an agent for residential" I know this person is either very new to real estate or very experienced. The newbie doesn't know what they don't know, and the experienced person likely has sufficient knowledge that they will only bring in an agent to supplement that knowledge. The majority of people do not transact enough real estate such that they may think they know more than they do.

Each shoplifter was arrested an average of 20 times? Why are they released? Why even waste resources arrested this, it's a free taxi at this point?
This is a really good question. Can language be de-weaponised?

Wittgenstein and Marcuse thought not - that words stand in as tools
of intent. It is our hostile times that make weapons of words.

But it's frustrating because neutral prose is hard to reach. We seem
in an age where it's hard to say anything succinctly, in a fashion
that will pique the wretched attention span of the ordinary reader,
that isn't either drenched in political bias or ungainly.

I think the media industry absolutely embarrassed themselves by
misappropriating the word "piracy". Even after 30 years it still jars
as awful, childish cringe. When I see a grown man in a suit talking of
"piracy" I can't help but see a pitiful clown before me.

But one cannot police other's language. They must be allowed to make
themselves known through the words they choose.
The most fascinating part of this is that it puts a concrete figure on how much your attention is worth to Facebook with regards to what it makes from advertisers.

$14 a month is (to me) an astonishing figure when you see it written out. To think that just Facebook’s cut, of just the profit, of just what you’ve been manipulated to buy beyond what you otherwise would have would mean that earnestly the data suggests that the average person is likely spending well over $100 a month on things they didn’t even want in the first place because of targeted advertising.
Opposition to GC is mostly people being fooled by GC-ed languages tending to be higher level and thus generating more garbage.

In the embedded work I've done I barely allocate at all, so it matters not GC or otherwise.
Meanwhile in the real world, true convergence seems to mostly break down at the application layer. Many desktop Linux apps are not designed to work on a mobile device. It turns out that the UX in Android apps is purpose build for mobile use. This software gap seems really difficult to overcome. Not impossible, but we are not there yet in terms of mobile Linux devices being useful for the majority of consumers.... (I do think Waydroid offers some interesting opportunities here to bridge the gap!)
> Why 0.5G and not 1G though

Then the ring would either have to be larger or faster. Both are harder to build.
Now we just need a resource about which companies will ghost you at some point in the process.

I can take being rejected. Disappearing into the night is so disrespectful.
Facebook and Insta seem like they would lend themself well to showing ads related to the content of your timeline. For example a post about a wedding would pair perfectly with an ad about wedding gifts or nice dresses, no tracking required.

Facebook's issue might just be that their entire ad platform is instead built around personalized ads. Revamping their ad network to do well with content ads might not be worth it. Especially since that would cede ground and might compel other jurisdictions to force them out of personalized ads as well.

The US gets most of its oil domestically, but since oil is traded globally, even if it isn't actually getting oil from Russia, maybe parent post thinks it is still complicit by letting India use the oil itself?

What's the alternative? People choose the ad-supported options because they like the product experience. I having a hard time understanding what the legislative solution to this problem is
In California, aside from pedestrians in a crosswalk having right of way, a driver approaching a crosswalk with a pedestrian:

> ... shall exercise all due care and shall reduce the speed of the vehicle or take any other action relating to the operation of the vehicle as necessary to safeguard the safety of the pedestrian.

In addition, all of the rules for pedestrians (no jaywalking, don't dash off the curb in front of a car, even in a crosswalk) include a provision that state they do not "relieve a driver of a vehicle from the duty of exercising due care for the safety of any pedestrian within the [roadway or crosswalk]"
I am not sure they are their most valuable product to be honest. They make money with literally anybody on the planet.
it's long if you don't have the connections to get a job through your network and need to sort of spray and pray to even get to a recruiter screen
Can we charge Meta $14/month for tracking us across the web without consent then? It's only fair...
You can’t regulate the ownership of computing devices.

It’s too generic. There are too many of them.
We had billions of Protobufs to store in Cassandra as byte blobs, using a zstd dictionary dramatically reduced storage size and improved latency over the built in compression. The complexity overhead of managing these dictionaries and making sure the client always has access to the right dictionary to decompress was non-trivial but well worth it.

We looked at Brotli as well but decompression speed at acceptable ratio was the most important factor for us, that plus the far superior docs and evangelism sealed the deal for zstd.

I used GPT 3.5 for a mundane thing
For a long time the GPTs were just a fun little plaything chatbot. It was the idea of "agents" that clued me in to using it differently. In a really small way to do something that I don't want to do by hand, I used GPT 3.5 to organize my bookmarks.

We use a few statements that are not supported by previous versions. For instance `CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER`.

Supporting previous versions would be possible, but we went for the most recent ones to reduce complexity.
I think it's more like "in order to match my megaprofits, you need to give me this". I really believe they make a lot or money with custom ads - I don't have data though.
I also am a big fan of the dedicated 3.5mm! That being said, it is definitely true that I am running out of situations where I can actually use that port on my device... sigh

I’m very close to giving up. I am now on unemployment and living with a friend m. Luckily my lease ran up earlier this year so it wasn’t as bad as it could have been.

In the last month, I’ve had:

- A call with a recruiter for a company I applied to. The position seemed like a very good fit given my past experience and what they were looking for. Got an email a week later saying they’d gone with someone else.

- A call with a third party recruiter. Went well initially, but the higher ups didn’t like that I’d been out of work for so long.

- A job offer, but with so much bureaucracy and red tape I don’t even have a start date yet. And there’s a good chance I won’t be able to hold down the job for very long anyway. I suspect this offer was somewhat of a nepo hire anyway. I was referred by a family member, and despite having an awkward interview, and admittedly not having much experience with their tech stack, I got an offer. I will have to move though to an area that doesn’t appeal to me and ruins all my medium and long term plans.

- Various ATS rejections. Including getting rejected from a company I worked for pre Covid, which I had no issues getting in via cold app some years ago.

Long term I need to get out of software, but there doesn’t seem to be a good path to something else.
That ARM video is useful because it somewhat ties together lots of things in a short-ish video. But I hate the breathless style and the video confuses and mistakes many things. Also what's the point of that silly [the iPhone is british, Fitbit is british, DJI drones are British...]?

In the end it is not about the semiconductor business - just hits several aspects of it at the periphery.
The processes to initiate arbitration can be ignored in some cases. You'd typically either file a 9 U.S. Code § 4 motion to compel or you would view failure to attend a a breach-of-contract and sue in civil court.

That said, a recalcitrant defendant can delay the start of meaningful proceedings a really long time. For example they can appeal the motion to compel and this would stay the civil court proceedings in the meantime (see Coinbase, Inc. v. Bielski).

The reason to do this is if the defendant is most likely in the wrong and just wants to delay paying as much as possible (or wear down the plaintiff). In true civil court the attorneys could have sanctions against them if they pointlessly delay the proceedings. Less so in arbitration.
Because most users are on mobile devices and battery life is a limited resource. It isn't good for the user OR the business if their device dies mid-day and they stop consuming because you ran a miner in the background.
Came here to say this. It's a fabulous history and easily one of the best and most informative books I read last year. It's not necessarily going to teach you much about the current "business" per se, but it's a must-read for the history and has quite a bit about the current global state of affairs, especially re PRC/ROC, and state of the technology.

Bordeaux should be pronounced like eaux so that part is correct :) I just mean that Bordo would be the same, it's all closed o sounds.

In the north and the south east (Toulouse, not Bordeaux) people tend to only use the open o sound though (especially obvious since Toulouse's nickname is la ville rose which should be a closed o) but that's not standard.

Interesting that you're from Greece, I have met quite a few Greeks who speak rather good French and it's always fun to notice how much of French comes from Greek.
Poof! You're a font.
I didn't know her, so I googled her. What comes up the most: her YouTube videos and podcasts. That's the definition of "content creator".

I find 35 young. Young != not adult.

Having a successful nationwide bookclub does not stop her from (apparently) being a content creator. And vice versa, being a content creator does not diminish the success of her bookclub.

You seem to suggest that being a content creator is somehow "less worthy" than having a bookclub. Many people are super successful being content creators on YouTube. Are they less because they don't run a bookclub?

Sounds pretty elitist to me
