Never try to justify your pricing. The moment you go down that rabbit hole, there is no coming back. You will give 1 reason and they will continue to challenge it.

Best way is to just say "It is company policy and I am afraid we cannot work around that. I am happy to discuss alternatives" and go from there.

The thrill of dining at places with suspect food safety is hard to match! We should ask the government to step in and ban the thing that is in my mind keeping everyone from pissing in my soup so that we can all share in the rush of severe food anxiety.
This is intentional because the colors are meant to replicate the effect of analog ink on paper. Ink on paper is not emissive the way that LCD/OLED screens are, so I have strayed away from colors that are only possible on screens.

I'm not sure that the 1A can scale properly for modernity, though. It was written two hundred years ago by men in a different world, without broadcast propaganda that can reach billions in seconds, dark money financing every major politician, a corrupt Supreme Court, and capitalists able to freely convert billions into political speech.

Put it all together and what you have isn't a vibrant democracy with a bunch of dissenting voices, but thought bubbles shaped almost entirely by the ultra-rich and their political allies, manipulating the billions away from human rights and democratic principles -- arguably the intent of what the 1A was actually trying to protect. Instead of a citizen-first democracy, it's been warped into a "capital compels thought" dystopia. There's nothing free about this expression; it is both expensive as in dollars and enslaved as in ideology.
I’ve also deleted my account and never went back to Reddit. I will never create an account or comment on there again. I don’t even miss it, turns out there are 15–20 years old forums with much higher quality information and participants about any niche subject I was using Reddit for.

I pity the fool who don't eat RAM.
Wow, so Widdershins is not just a made-up word from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series!
You are incredibly confused about terminology here.

You have a balance. And then you let Autopay pay it off in full by the due date, which is after the balance appears on your statement and after the balance is reported to credit bureaus. You still don't carry a balance.

What you are describing (having zero balance reported) is called cycling the credit limit. This is indeed a dangerous behavior that can not only affect your credit score but also lead to account closures. Don't do it.
I'm always worried about getting screwed by autopay in some way since it has happened once or twice in the past due to things like card number changing or a failure on the businesses end. So now I have both autopay on and manually pay everything.

For my credit cards my strategy is that I have autopay setup for the full amount. But I also manually pay every paycheck just as a sanity check.

The day I get my paycheck which is every 2 weeks, the first thing I do in the morning is immediately pay the entire balance off all my credit cards. So even things that technically would have been in next months cycle are paid off. Obviously not everybody has enough money available to pay off like this even for things that would have not been charged interest until the next cycle, but its what I recommend.
I'm pretty sure what you're calling RAM compression is swapping to zram, in which case the answer is that Some people prefer to not swap at all because that will still make things janky in comparison to just killing things when you're out of memory. (I would endorse earlyoom for that)
Hmm, both are "possible but not implemented yet". The engineering approach that some of our users do is running their own custom monitoring script (checking TCP connections, checking against a dynamic list) on their own infrastructure, and then just use Heii On-Call to monitor (via Inbound Liveness heartbeats / checkins) and alert on (via Manual trigger type) that custom monitoring script. Feel free to email us at support-at-domain so we can try to understand the use case better.
It doesn't matter how advanced police cars and police training have become over the years if poor people don't have access to their protection. Without taxes, the poor would still get nothing and the rich would still get as much technologically advanced protection as they can afford. Schools have computers today, but even if they'd had chromebooks in the early 1900s, schools would still have been for the elite and the poor would still have been mostly uneducated.

Increased taxation absolutely leads to greater technological and social advances and quality of life but only to the extent that those taxes are spent well and only up to a certain point. There's a point of diminishing returns for everything after all.

The nice thing about taxes is that we're supposed to be able to have some say in how they're spent, in order to make sure that spending is reasonable. It's a failure of our democracy that we don't have a better handle on massive wastes of spending (like Vietnam or Afghanistan), but not a failure of the very concept of taxation. Taxes are amazing, but the lack of oversight, transparency, and accountability is a real problem. Thankfully it's also one we have the power to fix (and if we don't, we'll need to accept that we have a very different form of government than we tell ourselves we've got)
You know what, just stop coding alltogether. Go touch grass.

Code points are Unicode's closest equivalent to "single graphical character" and everything you've been doing when iterating ASCII strings can be done using code points. It's also the closest thing to "a single key-stroke" and "how much text should disappear when I press backspace once".

The linked article suggests basically doing nothing because a few edge cases exist.
I don't see how RAM compression helps address the machine locking up when it'll still lock up when the compressed RAM is used up. It just buys you a little more time.

Also, Fedora has had zram enabled by default for a few years now along with systemd-oomd (which can sometimes be too aggressive at killing processes in its default configuration, but is configurable).
It's amusing that the Hacker News reaction so far is to advance alternative hypotheses as to why helical staircases have a predominant chirality, without first establishing, as one should do if one were rigorous, that there is a need for an explanation in the first place, and that this is not, as is suggested in other articles (including one hyperlinked by the headlined one here), just a statistical fluke without significance that doesn't need explanation.

To put things in modern parlance: A meme, invented from whole cloth by Daily Telegraph writer Theodore Andrea Cook 120 years ago because he liked fencing, was still going strong on Twitter in 2022; and people are still falling prey to believing its assumptions.

One has to appreciate the additional irony of the Twitter account actually being named "history in memes".
Surely that's ideal. Eternal September is not a desirable state and presumably the "docile" are not the desired compatriots. So that means that this is good. One can just go start Sawwit and Reddit will act as the lightning rod for the docile while the John Galts go to Sawwit.

That's not my understanding from reading the linked article and one linked from it.

From: https://www.thestate.com/news/local/environment/article28022...

> The NRC, which rarely issues yellow findings, said nuclear plant operators did not resolve cracking problems from 2003 to 2022 in V.C. Summer’s diesel generator system, one of the most important backup safety systems at an atomic power plant.

which links to: https://www.thestate.com/news/local/environment/article27928...

> Federal nuclear safety officials made a discovery that was perhaps more unsettling than the problem from 2022. They identified a pattern of cracks and leaks in the plant’s emergency generator system going back 20 years. On five different occasions since 2003, the power company has been forced to repair cracks in the emergency diesel generator system, according to an agency inspection report released in August. Diesel oil leaks have focused attention on why VC Summer plant operators did not resolve the cracking problems — and how that might have affected the company’s ability to prevent a radiation leak if an emergency occurred. Officials with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission say they are concerned because the problems keep recurring. Few other nuclear plants in the Southeast have had the same number of cracking problems in diesel generator systems, say officials in the agency’s Atlanta office.

There's some really interesting little details here.

Linux, by default, is making the very reasonable assumption that the marginal cost of converting empty physical memory into caches and buffers is very near zero. This is fundamentally reasonable, because the cost of converting empty memory into used memory isn't really any cheaper than converting a clean cached page into used memory. It's a little more subtle when you take accounting into account, or when you think about dirty pages (which need to be written back to clear memory), or think about caches, but the core assumption is a very reasonable one.

Except for on some multi-tenant infrastructure. Here, "empty" pages don't really exist. There's mostly not an empty page of memory kicking around waiting (like there is on client devices). Instead, nearly all the memory on the box is allocated, but each individual guest kernel doesn't know the full allocation. In this world, the assumption that the marginal cost of converting empty to full is zero is no longer true. There's some real cost.

Projects like DAMON https://sjp38.github.io/post/damon/ exist to handle this case, and similar cases where keeping empty memory rather than low-value cache is worse for the overall system. These kinds of systems aren't super common, especially on the client side, but aren't unusual in large-scale cloud services.

Hey, this isn't _my_ guide. Shared it because I found it interesting. :)
Not if you have a mortgage. You may end up owing hundreds of thousands all of a sudden with no equity backing it.
No, this money wasn't leaving the country.

Suppose some item from China costs $100. Now EU will add, say, $15 tax to it, for the total price of $115. So, $100 is going to China, as previously, and $15 tax paid by EU citizens is redistributed among EU citizens. And no, do not expect Chinese companies to just eat the tax, because their profit margins are usually already thin, as they are competing on price in many markets.

This may change, eventually, if Europe finally learns to manufacture things themselves, but that's a long and hard way. For at least the next decade they will have no choice but eat the tax and continue buying from China.
The money is provided by that monetary system you speak of.
It's competitive politically. Civilian nuclear power shares a lot of the costs of maintaining a nuclear arsenal, subs & aircraft carriers:

I used to joke I was a "venture socialist" -- I wanted to be a writer, but that felt wrong since I was a first generation PhD dropout.

I never worked directly for one, just 1099 but in general I'd suggest trying to run a startup like a small business.

(I've seen a LOT of small businesses rise and fall, often as I was sitting in them overtipping the poor workers stuck in the muck)

I'd suggest looking at the profiles of founders on places like Wikipedia -- then search out the names of the companies whose names you do not recognize.

Then suss out why the company failed -- was it a bad idea? Were they ratfucked by someone with worse technology but better... connections?

Have you seen that Silicon Valley scene where the guy shouts no revenue?

Be the opposite of that guy.

Be socially libertarian in the sense of hiring skilled, kind people... but also be as stingy as the types who used to invade my personal space and say "Reagan" whenever you didn't sufficiently name drop someone from their personality cult.

That means things like wanting to increase revenue, decrease bandwidth.

(I see so many people using these elaborate frameworks to make flashy sites for bullshit startups, rather than a clean and pretty plain static site. Vi not emacs, XFCE not Knome or KDE... income early rather than forever hitting up the Saudis... that kind of thing)

Anyways... TLDR: Look up the failings that came before a site like say... Facebook... both in terms of rivals and previous company attempts by the founders.
In the US, it is because other platforms share data more freely with the government than required by law. Presumably, TikTok follows the law but no more.
It's not being shared. Walmart is both the pharmacy and the grocery store. If you use the same account to buy drugs and food from them, they can see that. Nobody needed to give them the data and they aren't giving it to anyone else.
I’ve heard this position multiple times, and yet every single benchmark I’ve seen repeated by teams of engineers in multiple contexts fails to replicate this fear. Zswap really is something that should just always be enabled.
> Propaganda is widely used on social media. Why focus on TikTok?

Because TikTok is a "rogue" social media (from the U.S.'s perspective, of course)?

> Other countries have laws and agencies to protect against propaganda; the US doesn't bother.

I am not sure I follow your point here; could you elaborate?
I much prefer smart switches over smart bulbs. Because smart switches always work with you flip them physically whether the network is down or not.

Also smart switches ensure that there is no mismatch between physical switch state and light bulb state.

Before I moved over to smart switches exclusively I had some Philips smart bulbs with wireless switches - it was the most unreliable and finicky setup I ever had.

The only smart thing in a light bulb should be it ability to change color.
I think there is an over-focus on being fanless for silence and that leads to wandering down really niche sets of boards like this almost for the sake of looking for a niche board in itself. While it sounds extremely boring, a standard mini PC (called a "TinyMiniMicro" in this, Serve The Home phrasing) will almost always be a significantly better device, limit the fan speed to your liking (I typically go around 30 percent, can barely hear them with your ear up to the fan).

If your goal is to 3d print a custom case, mount things externally, and tinker these kinds of things that's great but I feel a lot of tech folks get caught up in "tinkering" needing to equal "the best option". I'm not saying there is anything wrong with tinkering, I've actually got a few devices mentioned like the mentioned Flashstor 12 and it's a lot of fun to mess with. At the same time, I'd sooner call them my dream tinkering devices than my dream home server.
Jaynes was a big proponent of taking the logarithm as well (as you probably know), referring to it as “measuring in decibels”. Unfortunately, I don’t actually understand what this log p/(1-p) gadget (“logit”?) actually does, mathematically speaking: it looks tantalizingly similar to an entropy of something, but I don’t think it is? Relatedly, I don’t really see how this would work for more than two outcomes—or why it shouldn’t.

What about evidence for a simpler theory, such as they were built in the direction that made most sense from where the doors would wind up?

Like if you go through the bottom/top door, it's more natural to walk straight forwards and then curve, rather than walk in, turn 90°, and then walk upwards.

Obviously this wouldn't matter if the door were located facing precisely the middle of the spiral, but it certainly does if it more naturally opens on one side of the spiral.

The article states that they likely built neither because nobody wants to be fighting for their life 1:1 on a dank staircase with poor visibility. It's actually the much more logical option.

So do Google... Unfortunately the 10,000+ people who work on Android and related projects at Google so far haven't managed to make it much more bug-free than it was back in 2012...

The camera still crashes if you take too many photos too quickly... The backup service still does a shitty job and doesn't backup some apps... The phone still occasionally randomly gets hot and drains the battery by midday... Sharing a file with another android user over bluetooth/wifi/nearby share still fails more often than not. A VoIP/video call still stutters and glitches when you switch from wifi to cell or vice versa.

The fact I can list 5 bugs from memory that have existed for 10 years is a sign that perhaps those 10,000 minds may be misplaced.
This is why many, including myself, are against nuclear power.

They have an engineered lifespan and things start falling apart and becoming dangerous when you exceed that.
Many should never have been extended. They've had to change safety tests and infrastructure tests so the order plans would pass inspection.

This has always been my concern with nuclear. Yes we can make it safe, but the human greed factor is always the weak point. Regulations weakened, automated systems bypassed, skimping on design decisions, etc.

This first link makes me absolutely furious. There's too much to quote from here, but here's just one excerpt. The post has numerous examples of very concerning issues.

> When valves leaked, more leakage was allowed — up to 20 times the original limit. When rampant cracking caused radioactive leaks from steam generator tubing, an easier test of the tubes was devised, so plants could meet standards.

https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna43455859

> The proposal comes as most of the nation’s nuclear power plants, which were designed and built in the 1960s or 1970s, are reaching the end of their original 40- to 50-year operating licenses. Many plant operators have sought licenses to extend the operating life of their plants past the original deadlines, even as experts have warned that aging plants come with heightened concerns about safety.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/17/climate/nrc-nuclear-inspe...

> The nuclear industry is also pushing the NRC to cut down on safety inspections and rely instead on plants to police themselves. The NRC “is listening” to this advice, the Associated Press reported last month. “Annie Caputo, a former nuclear-energy lobbyist now serving as one of four board members appointed or reappointed by President Donald Trump, told an industry meeting this week that she was ‘open to self-assessments’ by nuclear plant operators, who are proposing that self-reporting by operators take the place of some NRC inspections.”

Because they do not get their share of the blame, and the notion that they can plausibly squander goodwill in any Western country aside from maybe Ireland is a fantasy.

Terrorist organizations like Hamas simply help them along in this regard; their attacks only provide further justification for military action. Very few in the West think critically about whether Israel's actions are proportionate. For example, their blockade of Gaza includes food--is there any other country that can get away with starving children in retaliation for a terrorist attack?

> By sharing responsibility as a coalition, it would be harder for Syria, Hezbollah, Iran and others to justify attacking Israel.

There is no rationality or sense or good faith to the actions of those actors either. Ultimately, I think they likely believe Israel's existence to be sufficient justification for violence, which is of course simply unreasonable and not a workable basis for the fantasy of diplomatic or peaceful resolution to this conflict.
