> higher wages at a ford factory will force telsa to match those wages if they want to be competitive in the labor market

Given perfect mobility, yes. But the labor market Tesla and foreign manufacturers in the United States compete in are separate from those of the UAW's. The evidence for this is in their present labor cost differential: $45 and 55/hour for Tesla and Toyota, respectively, vs $65/hour for UAW factories, en route to $100+ [1].

Keep in mind, too, that union jobs are supply constrained. The UAW represents about 200,000 automotive workers [2]. That's a fifth of all motor vehicles and parts manufacturing workers [3].

> maybe the owning class should take less profit so the consumer doesn't have to take on that extra cost

It's going the other way. Tesla can cut prices to below where Detroit can turn a profit. That matters when the latter are asking for capital to fund their investments.

One solution would be to tax non-union produced cars such as to equalize the gap. But again, that would require a state to trade their consumers' welfare for another's employees'. A better one is to pass into law worker protections for all Americans.

The post's point is that an API change is a very big deal, to be used only when the older version just can't work anymore or the newer version offers something much better. But the Flask team seems to have a much lower bar on what justifies the change. So the author feels unhappy he has to update a bunch of projects for no good reason.

There are still some embarrassingly parallel applications out there that could benefit from this sort of hardware. I'm not sure if it's absolutely necessary to have this number of cores under each desk though. To me this sounds like a luxury/vanity/status symbol.
My assertion is that none of the refactorings in the 3.0 release bring a benefit to the community. I did not imply that the entire 3.0 release is void of improvements.

TMobile gives me free Netflix, but I use it on my television which uses my home internet. So even if they zero-rated that service, in my case it's irrelevant.

Plus I think I have an unlimited* plan, so zero-rating something doesn't have much impact.
In the US it’s fairly common policy to have when the employee could present a liability issue, such as driving a company provided vehicle, or operating heavy/dangerous equipment. Drug tests are a “cover our ass” measure and also make getting rid of “that fucking guy” easier.

In practice it varies heavily on how it’s implemented, generally a company isn’t really keen to spend the money and time on that shit until after they’ve been burned by incidents.

- Could be once on hiring, then only if you really fuck up. This is what my company does.

- Could be “random” testing that just so happens to “randomly” catch the obvious fuckwit who walked in after driving to work while probably blitzed and now wants to hop in a sprayer.

- Could be genuinely random testing.

I work in Agriculture, and my company provides me a work pickup truck (funny enough, my ATV in the back is my actual “work” vehicle if you consider time spent driving) along with fuel, which I can make reasonable personal use of. The tradeoff is they demand the ability to get notified of tickets/points added on my license, and if I start repeatedly getting speeding tickets and ignore the “hey, stop that shit” talk they give me, they’ll ultimately rescind the free vehicle they’ve provided me. Getting a DUI would very likely result in immediate termination. Which I consider fair enough

If I worked a desk job and don’t have a situation where altered states of mind would present a massive danger to myself, others, and company equipment, then yeah drug tests can fuck right off.
In my state municipalities are required to spend 25% of their budget on police. So effectively 20% of the tax base of the municipality is being used to police Walmart. Walmart isn’t the only business in town, there are lots of businesses, convenience stores, restaurants, you name it - they share what’s left after Walmart, and it doesn’t seem fair.

Universal Music sues AI startup Anthropic for scraping song lyrics
I keep re-reading what you wrote, and I think it's less far fetched than you imply, for the following reasons.

Huge datasets labelled as to ancestry exist, characterizing distributions of alleles that imply "race", which is how Ancestry and 23andme, for American company examples, do some of their analyses.

At least two Nobel prizes were recently awarded, one to Doudna and Charpentier related to Crispr-CAS9 for context-sensitive genome edits, and another for mRNA (which was in development for a decade or so before the entire Covid repurposing arose).

So, I think the part missing, to your point, is the "vector" that would deliver a sequence of patch files, perhaps via CRISPR-cas9 etc, which would perhaps bind to the constellation of race-implication genome sites to collectively build some proteins of whatever sort of interest, whether for fitness repair or fitness reduction in the host.
I think you could argue that b12, ect are just materials in the sense that the consumer is not providing inormation for its manufacture.

In this case where manufacturing instructions are transmitted, you could have a system where neither component is consider alive by itself, but the system is.

One cell with DNA only, and another with ribosomes only would not be considered alive. However, a multicellular combination of them would be alive.

Obligate parasites will be alive in some cases, and not in others, depending on how they handle stored data (DNA), and what they rely on the host to do.
I went on a bit of an odysee creating "smart" thermal printers this summer in an attempt to build something suitable for giving Bitcoin payment notifications to merchants.

I started with battery-powered Bluetooth-enabled printers but found that the ESP32 microcontroller I was working with had trouble connecting to both WiFi and Bluetooth at the same time.

I ended up going with another printer model that supported TTL serial connections and landed on the ESP32 C3 board which has a very small form factor and was able to squeeze inside the case that comes with the printer.

Here's a video showing the end result: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiGoOJZUrP8

Skip ahead to 2:40 if you don't want to hear me talk and just want to see the build video where I connect the ESP32 to the printer.

The work you do with your laptop is what matters. Good luck.

I have two answers, one snarky.

Answer #1: relax, they already know everything about you. With every interaction in society, you leave some combination of name, email, address, purchase history, security-camera footage, license-plate footage, IP address, cell-tower history, credit-card number, Venmo likes, etc. The history of a unit of digital currency certainly helps fill in gaps. But whoever "they" are to you, they already know.

Answer #2: No single tool is a one-size-fits-all answer to privacy. TCP/IP needs TLS for transport-layer privacy, DNSSEC and TLS certs for authenticity, VPNs and Tor for protection against traffic analysis, throwaway accounts to segregate one's personal workstreams, and so on. The privacy of the internet results from an ever-evolving collection of tools.

Bitcoin is TCP/IP for money. It's a pipe that allows transfer of value from one place to another -- that's it. It doesn't provide anonymity, but unlike centralized payment-processing systems, it allows the creation of tools on top of it that could provide a practical level of anonymity. A Bitcoin mixer, for example, is comparable to a VPN.

Note that if VPNs or TLS were invented today, rather than decades ago, the Hive Mind would be demonizing them as tools for criminals and/or the kind of person none of us admits to being (purchasers of porn, etc.). We take a lot of internet privacy tools for granted, mostly because we're accustomed to them, but also because they were grandfathered before September 2001.
Yes, that's a bit odd.

I wish they'd stop treating this like some sort of news. Is there any significant number of people out there seriously claiming that the only carbon or water in the universe is on planet Earth? The mere presence of water or carbon challenges no theories, surprises no one, disproves no one in the scientific community.

I'm sure there will be some sort of interesting thing found about the carbon itself, as there always is whenever something is closely examined for the first time. Perhaps that news will challenge a theory, surprise someone, or disprove someone. But this news isn't it.
> Granted, I don't know what the average is in the food industry

The average is usually 45-55. By far the most common variety is HFCS-55.

I'm not disagreeing with the idea its easier to pound a lot of sugar drinking sweet beverages. I'm just disagreeing with the concept "fruits don't have much fructose" and people thinking HFCS means its generally way higher fructose content than other common sugars. An apple has more fructose than a serving of BWW Asian Zing sauce, as I pointed out in another comment. I'm not arguing wings are healthier than apples, I'm just pointing out the raw numbers of sugar. A cake made with sucrose will have a similar amount of fructose ratio as cake made with HFCS, assuming similar amounts of total sugar content.

Right. The closest analogy I can think of is answers on Stack Overflow. Usually those answers apply to the latest version of whatever software they're about, but this means many of them will eventually be out of date. You can find plenty of answers with code that assumes Python 2, written by authors who had no idea there was going to be a Python 3.

And that's okay. It's not a bad thing for answers to sometimes go out of date.

A really good answer might specify the major version of software it references, just to be future proof, but that isn't strictly necessary since anyone can just add a new answer and old answers can be edited (on Stack Overflow). For tutorials, it's much more incumbent on them not to mislead users into following an old tutorial, since most people will want to start with the latest version. Put a banner at the top that says "this is a tutorial for Flask 2.x, the latest version of Flask at the time of writing", and/or pin versions in your installation instructions.
Piracy vs. not buying it vs. not downloading it are morally equivalent. The actual ethical stance here is whether or not you're paying for DRM; once you've committed to not doing that, whether or not you choose to pirate it at that point is morally neutral because the effect on the author (and publisher et al.) is the same.
You don't need to go that far. Just look at EV culture between California vs Texas.

I didn't know seaweed wasn't a common food until I moved to the Netherlands and started enquiring about the local seaweed, only to be met with blank looks or people pointing me to the sushi nori at Albert Heijn.

I've been here for years and I still don't understand how such a seafaring nation with such an intimate connection with the coast line could lack a seaweed culture.

Until I saw this article I was starting to think seaweed was unique to rockier island coastlines, but I guess it just comes down to taste/fashion?

After all, you can sail the seven seas as pillage the world of all its spices, but nothing compares to a broodje kaas! Have heard the theory that it's part of Calvinistic protestantism to avoid strong flavours, but then I'd expect to see more seaweed etc in the South.

A change that brings new added value to users is a case where the change needs to be made, yes.

But the article's point is that the Flask changes don't seem to be doing that. They're not making breaking changes in order to introduce new features that add value for users. They're making breaking changes just because they feel like it, giving users no added value to compensate for the time and effort required to deal with the change. That's not respecting users.

Exactly. Even if their laws only technically apply within California, no car maker is going to build a car that cannot be legally sold in the single largest market in the US. It gets even more difficult with the internet as there are few internet providers who don't have at least some kind of connection to California and therefore fall under its jurisdiction, and ensuring you only apply prioritization to packets that don't involve California is extremely tough.

Tesla issues with the Cybertruck has nothing to do with it beeing an EV. Tesla manufactures more EVs then any other company from China, outside of maybe BYD.

And EV companies in China are not magical, and most arent incredibly good at EV manifacture. Many of them are losing money just as in the West. And there is consolidation in that market, just as in the West.

And EV account for like 25% of new cars, so they are not that far ahead. And of course, in China they often have much smaller cars, so pure numbers arent a great comparison depending on what you are analysing.
Whether they do or do not have the authority isn't something that can be answered by anything but speculation until it's been tested in court, and I don't think any of the ISPs had enough to gain through packet prioritization that it was worth the risk of going to court.
