Disney might be a big name behind it, but don't let that fool you into thinking individuals haven't tried to shape this too, see Sonny Bono for one. But you can also look around at the current massive fight over AI and see a lot of individuals who are fighting very hard for stronger enforcement of copyright in its current form. Even here in the tech community we see a lot of people wanting to keep their public sites and code from being used in these models, which is a significant change from the "Information wants to be free" days of yore.
This idea gets something right, which is often missed: individuals are ultimately responsible. Personal responsibility is like a muscle. Stop exercising it and eventually you wont be able to use it. When personal responsibility gets mocked we lower expectations and beget the idiocy we claim to detest.
My water bill from the city adds $3 for credit card. That's more than 10% most months!
Is it actually something mandated by the city?

If it isnt that sounds pretty damn fraudlent to me.

We have a similar issue where I am from because businesses are not required to give tips to their employees. Most people dont know about this law and a reasonable person would think that the money would go to the employees because that's what the word 'tip' means.

So in my mind any restaurant that doesn't have a sign next to the tip jar spelling out who the money is going to in this situation is commiting fraud.

The name they're choosing is intentional and the purpose is to trick you into spending your money in a way you otherwise would'nt. That's a crime.
They get away with it by using fine print that discloses additional charges.

If you think how we handle sales tax is odd, just wait until you see a medical bill from the US!
Modules is another of those features that were added to C++ due to peer pressure from other programming languages.

The thing is that they're heavily implementation-specific things. Two of the biggest compiler vendors pushed the model that worked best for their implementation. The Microsoft model won the committee politics, which is why they're the only ones with an implementation. Too bad most C++ developers don't really use Microsoft software to begin with.

They should have just stuck with a simple PCH-but-you-don't-have-to-include-it-first model. That would have been straightforward and immediately useful to everybody.
MariaDB is for companies that rely on MySQL and don't want to migrate to a non-MySQL solution, for various reasons.
thank you for bringing this to my attention!
I saw a discussion about tipping on FB not long ago, where many participants were servers. One waitress posted "If you don’t tip at least 20%, you’re going to get some nastiness in your food next time." That attitude seemed to meet with others’ approval, too. So, in your case, you really would have to never go back.
Kitchen fee? A fee for the restaurant to cook something?
Has the C++ standardization committee given a rationale why a module definition does not automatically also create a namespace with the same name? That would seem such a useful feature.

Can mobiles be nested? (I'm thinking java.util.StringTokenizer.) If so, has a module hierarchy (as for Java) been defined for all STL standard functionality?

Are their any compilers that implement C++20 in full in 2023?
Sure, if they actually increase the prices written on the menu. But the way I understand the parent comment, they didn't, they just tacked them on as extra fees at the end.
This is very much like the least action principle [0]. The optimal path between two points is the combination of optimal paths between the starting and an intermediate, and the intermediate and end points.

It does, but depending on your shipping patterns and volume, it can be worth it. For example, some provide storage so you can hold your merchandise until you have a container full, and then ship all at once by ocean freight. Other times, they have deals with shipping companies like DHL that might make it cheaper than dealing with DHL rates by yourself.
The interchange fee schedule is bizarrely complex. Maybe taxes have a really high percentage?
People still be angry at receipts.
We need to rework creator payment mechanics before we do that. If you ban copyright the first thing that will happen is that a pile of companies and people will make copies of all the best-selling books and put them on sale on Amazon for a penny over cost. The books for sale by the authors will be buried and they'll make nothing.

Same for movies. It's going to be slim pickings when only people who can afford to and desire to make movies to give away for free actually make movies.

I give away my stuff for free online, but do sell paper copies of books for profit. (People can print their own personal copies cheaper if they want.)

That said, I'd be FUCKING PISSED OFF if other people who did nothing were making all the money off my stuff and I were making nothing. Because that's some unjust bullshit right there.

I think the copyright term should be dropped to 14 years plus an optional one-time 14-year renewal. Or, to simplify the paperwork, just a single 28-year term. I'd also support no corporate ownership of copyrights, but I haven't thought that through yet.

That's fine. But it makes sense to treat putting a price on the menu that doesn't include that fee as fraud.

This (although as others said it’s the list cost, not the delete). If you want to nuke a bucket don’t waste your time with the API and just age the files out. I’ve done this with buckets with tens of millions of files and five minute’s work.
I explained to you what the SSPs are.

Why the obsession with nuclear war and trying to get totally imprecise scenarios there? They serve very little purpose other than building scary narratives. Some people's job is to worry about them, but that doesn't mean they are central to what we should do.

When a hurricane strikes, things are usually not just Lord Of The Flies - the idea of collapse into violent chaos is a popular one but doesn't really happen much.
As an American who has lived abroad a fair bit, I can confirm that the American approach seems deranged if you're used to prices that match what you will pay.
Preventative measures haven't necessarily failed entirely. The renewable power and battery electric vehicle revolutions are underway, and vastly more successful/rapid than almost anyone predicted. But, they need more time. I see geo-engineering as a way to buy time for the science and engineering needed to solve the problem without austerity measures. (unfortunately, while austerity would have allowed us to attain the Paris targets, it was a political lead balloon from the start)
CPU and OS independent methods. For example to shutdown, reboot or change video mode. Much easier to run a bytecode sandboxed on any platform.
You can also temper chocolate by melting it to 50°C-55°C, cooling it to 28°C and then working with it, barely melted, at 31°C. I don't know how we figured that out to start with though.
No it isn't. The cost of my widget isn't broken out to material sourcing, transportation, and other overhead. Doing it this way causes unnecessary mental gymnastics and is done for the sole purpose of creating political pressure. I don't mind companies having and sharing political opinions, but keep it off my receipt. Just put up a sign that says "prices have increased due to new regulation" and feel free to hand out pamphlets decrying the state of things, don't be disingenuous about your motives.
That's true, although isn't the thing here that they plan for realistic worst-case scenarios, which is the scary part? There are probably lots of worse worst-case scenarios which they'll never do much preparation because they're so unlikely. War with China does not seem to be that unlikely.

Not at all true. Unspent money is potential energy. It dramatically alters the holder's perception of risks, and thus influences major life decisions.
Ah thank you -- somehow I missed that part. Quoting:

> “It’s an average of about 30 or 40 meters deep; it’s very shallow. It’s a huge lagoon where the circulation with the Pacific Ocean is very much cut off. So water exchanges slowly through these 3,000-and-something reefs. The reason that cloud brightening can work for the Great Barrier Reef is that you’ve got all of this water trapped here.”

You're ahead of the curve! Nice.

You gotta market aggressively, because you've got a map of sorts and you've got an alpha. Developer convenience is the only thing that's missing. IMO I think we'll end up looking at interfaces that specify the maximum number of layers to ease new users into the experience. So you could have, instead of spatial XML/CSS, just another React app but with "layers".

Obviously, game development tools will feel much more at-home for AR/VR. But not everyone can grok C# and not everyone can pay the salaries required for it.
I'm asking what people actually use in production. It is part of a thread that started with

One's health will eventually fail no matter the safety net, but I suspect time spent focused on your own wellbeing (rather than your boss's) will pay great dividends; use some of that time away from work to hit the gym and cook healthy meals for yourself/friends/family.

I'd say the problem with b is that there are lots of ways to rise above the chaff - you can sell NFTs or some other MLM/scam or resort to more outright crimes; without any morals you can extract as much value from society as you wish and it seems like no one will stop you; see my above comment regarding private equity.

It seems you've missed at least one option and that is the so called "quiet quitting" that the article is about, though I suppose you could file that under giving up, I see it more as playing the game just enough to get by.
Beast Academy online (subscription $) has video explanations for each topic. Video isn't the main focus, though, and it's only suitable once a child can read.

gus_massa mentioned Numberblocks. I think it's worth watching every video and, once done, starting over from episode 1. So much nice content, especially about multiplication and primes.
If the prices on the menu are just 10% higher, this is fine. You know what you're getting in to and can always decide to order something cheaper or not eat there.

If the prices on the menu are the same, but there's a note at the bottom of the menu saying "additional 10% fee to support our workers' healthcare" (or something similar) they are technically telling you, but this is certainly misleading (possible to miss the note, and it's harder to do math) and is very annoying. I've noticed several restaurants doing this. The new CA law explicitly bans this practice.

If the prices are the same and you aren't notified until you get the bill, this is highly unethical and IMO fraud. There's a restaurant near me that does this; they offer to remove the fee if you notice and complain, but also try to guilt you into paying. The new CA law bans this too.
Every browser does. I'm arguing they should have even more extensive workarounds for website idiocy than they do now. They're our user agents. Their purpose is to make the consumption of data from remote servers as painless as possible. They should totally fix sites in pursuit of that goal. Whether the sites want to be fixed or not.
A much, much simpler explanation is that not including taxes in an items price increases the likelyhood of a consumer buying the product. Once a consumer goes to pay for a product, either online at checkout or at the cashier, they're much less likely to back down from a purchase.
The great thing about the free market is, we get to run the whole country like it’s a ferengi casino and then tell everyone that it’s their own fault that they work 80 hours a week and can’t afford to buy insulin.

Do they offer direct payment from your checking account? If so, this is an incentive fee to do that rather than use a credit card. It is annoying however when the only alternative given to using a credit card is a paper check sent somewhere using a stamp (but that is where your bank’s autopay might be useful).
Is there any curses based good spreadsheet?
As a business owner who geoblocks:

It's not usually a benefit to a business if a customer pays upfront.

Whether my customer pays by debit or credit, I get all of that money upfront before I let the transaction proceed.

Some businesses, like car dealers, actually make more money if the customer buys using debt, because they get incentivized by the loan company.

And lastly, the sheer scale of the US economy means that it's really not worth the hassle. All of Africa would be equal to one of the larger states (Wikipedia says $3T, Texas is 2.1T and Cali is 3.5T).

So it's vastly simpler, cheaper, and easier to deal with say 30m Texans or 40m Californians than literally 1.3 billion people in Africa or India, and you get roughly the same total addressable market and a fraction of the bots & scams.

Hence why many sites simply block non-North American traffic.

I think I generally pick up smoking/vaping again due to acute stress, and after a quick ramp up back to dependence I start suffering the chronic stress of needing a smoke, if I may add a little nuance to this addendum

But I do like the stress vs abuse framing because it focuses attention on intervention and treatment rather than the scaremongering discouragement to which most people’s sense of personal exceptionalism provides immunity (nah, I won’t get addicted)
My take on this: if there is some DDoS taking place from same IP I am connecting from, that sucks for me but I'm willing to tolerate it (good old fail2ban). But having such a firewall all the time, even when you are getting less than 1 request per second from ToR? That's an overkill
Anecdata: I have been having a really difficult time relating and empathizing with new acquaintances (and even existing friends that I now see more often) in a meaningful way. This became noticeable since the pandemic. I basically operate on a principle of being so disappointed with my interactions with people that I now invest my time and emotions in other things, which I know is not sustainable or healthy. But the experience of trying to get to know people lately has been repulsive.

Not sure what else to do! (and before anyone mentions therapy, I’m way ahead of you.)
I agree tangentially with the sentiment—specifically in the US, we should be judicious about how our money is taken and used.

Not because we work our asses off, rather because it’s our duty as electorates (not to mention general good practice to watch your finances).

> I often resort to searches in a smaller language, where economic incentives are 100X smaller than English.

I wonder for how long that's going to work: the cost of translating with LLM are now basically $0 and LLMs are exceptionally good at doing that. So basically: have LLMs generate complete, total and utter crap in english. Then have LLMs decline this crap in all the world's languages.
I'm aware of this, CF can be very granular, but businesses do not on average have the know-how or bandwidth to properly setup their rules to not come off like a...holes. So the effect is that most businesses behind CF come off like a...holes. My point is CF does not seem very interested in coming up with a better solution, like maybe a list of CF managed WAF profiles that work well and don't make both the businesses and CF seem like they do not care. Those profiles could be paid.

And yes! it's better to buy local, and Africa can't blame the US because our economy isn't there, and we aren't building all the things we should be building. But that is an entirely different discussion isn't it?

$5k/month is just Cloudflare's opening bid. In Enterprise sales, you are expected to negotiate for a discount. Common rule of thumb is that Enterprise sales (in general, across vendors) start at ~$2k/month (this is what's necessary to pay for salespeople's salaries) and savvy negotiators will end up close to that figure for bare-bones plans.
That's tricky reasoning, though, because it leads you to base your business model not on serving your customers but on reacting to criminals.

I mean, it certainly does seem that way.

But the problem is that right now a supermarket chain can advertise in the newspaper that chicken breasts are $4.99/lb at all of its nearby locations.

If sales tax were included, you couldn't advertise prices at all, because they might be different at each store!

How could Apple advertise the price of a MacBook, when sales tax is 0% in New Hampshire, but 8.875% in New York City, but 4.5% in Yonkers just north of NYC? That's a price variation of around $100–200.

It's really hard to meaningfully compare. They're designed for other things.

Most desktop or server CPUs prioritize massive parallelism, which is useful for OSes and multithreaded apps. In contrast, most MCUs have just one single-threaded core. CPUs are expected to run with sophisticated and bulky active cooling, so they reach speeds up to 3-5 GHz; in contrast, MCUs are almost always used without any added cooling and need to be power-efficient, so they seldom venture above 500 MHz. CPUs require external power controllers for dynamic voltage scaling to realize that performance. MCUs are often expected to run off a single supply, often something like "anywhere between 1.8 and 3.3 V". CPUs have a variety of hardware accelerators for operating on gobs of data (e.g., AVX vector instructions). In contrast, the most an MCU is typically expected to do is handle some low-resolution camera, and only some higher-end models have a hardware floating point unit.

Most benchmarks are optimized for desktop tasks too, so you can expect MCUs scores to be two orders of magnitude lower. But that doesn't mean they perform that much worse at the tasks they're intended for.

In situations where you need to do some real-time ML-based image classification, drive a 4K display, and stream H.265 videos, you generally don't reach for a traditional MCU, but for a CPU, with all the extra power supply complexity and thermal management issues this entails.

SoCs blur the line somewhat, because they often combine a CPU core, a graphics card, lots of memory, and a bunch of other things in a single package - making them essentially a fully-fledged computer that can run Linux, but is about as easy to integrate as an MCU. These are still slower than top-of-the-line desktops, but they're in the "one order of magnitude" territory.
