I would describe those as statements as more about economics, and which tradeoffs people are willing to make in their clothes buying decisions.

The clothes in Costco and pretty much every other store in America take advantage of developing labor.

Then why complain about women's clothes being dysfunctional?
You’re deliberately ignoring an honest explanation.
TBF it's not supposed to be a direct democracy.

You can start a campaign. They can bring about change, in the long run. If a think tank was campaigning for something you didn't like, I bet you'd be first to complain about it...
And the vendors who supplied the Voyager program may have made quadrillions across the entire customer base for all we know. But there is no reason for a vendor to use the income from one customer to subsidize another.

If you only pay $1,000 for an iPhone, you are going to get $1,000 worth of support. Don't be such a cheapskate if you want greater service, I guess?
True. But I would say there is a place for simpler tools too, and that is what I aim to build with this calculator. Plus you can go a long a way to factoring in big life changes even with the simple inputs currently provided.

Btw did you misspell Voyuent? I can't find it anywhere.
> my default stance is to simply believe people when they tell me what they want

That is even more childish though, we know for sure that people don't really know what they want. What is available is a much better predictor for what people want than what they say they want.

Peoples opinions are a valuable input, but it isn't the most important. Expert decisions that considered peoples opinions among many other things are a much better signal.
How do you expect more competition when most people in tech support more government regulation that inhibits smaller firms to compete?

Serious question.
Men is shorthand for men and women
The amount of men here explaining to women why their lack of good choices is their own fault is depressing. I suppose I needed a reminder that just because it's the 2020s doesn't mean people have advanced beyond the arrogance of ignorance.
Fallout 1 was excellent too, and the series still suffers from the decisions made in Fallout 2 - particularly the timeline jump, the tribals, and the Enclave (which is fun but even more implausible than many of the series' other elements).

Fallout 1 was 84 years after the war, and it was easier to imagine that functioning structures, robots etc. still exist. Fallout 2 was set 164 years after the blast, sadly, and the rest of the series has been stuck there for continuity's sake.
Great question -

Our pricing is in-line with B2B customers and the way we define a connection is a single tenant (example: CRM) connecting through our APIs. Within that CRM/tenant, you could make as many API calls as you'd like (upto a certain limit). Usually this means, one connection <> one customer of yours.

If you're a B2C application with a lot more connections happy to chat more and work out a pricing that works for both of us.

You could book a time with us, happy to chat further: https://cal.com/allenrevert/30min
But now you have two kinds of 16-bit instructions, the ones for the leading position and the ones for the trailing position, and the latter ones have slightly more available functionality, right? Personally, at this point I'd think the decoder must already be complicated enough (it has either to maintain "leading/trailing/full" state between the cycles, or to decode 8/16-byte long batches at once) that you could simply give up and go for an encoding with completely irregular lengths à la x86 without much additional cost.
Back in the early 2000s before social media, google news aggregator revealed how much journalists lied. Straight up propaganda in some cases.

I made a prediction back then that journalists would up their game and only publish the truth. I was wrong.

Now social media is expansive and obvious lies are called out immediately but they dont retract. They still can't stop publishing lies.

Journalists can't help themselves.
Israel is an ethnostate[1], resolutions of Congress notwithstanding[2]. Imagine if Biden said "The US is a Nation-State Of The White People And Them Alone" the way a leading Israeli spoke about Israel[3].

But instead all major western governments are busy sucking up to Israel (this article is just one example) and declaring that Israel will always be our best ally.

Hard times create traumatized people with learned helplessness.

Issac Newton, Albert Einstein, Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Nikola Tesla, ... keep thinking of names of profoundly accomplished people in areas like science, business, sports, art, etc. Then tally up how many of them had traumatic hardscrabble origins. Not many. Most grew up middle class or better and had the benefit of good education, solid family life, and a stable society.

This whole meme is bullshit, and comes from a post-apocalyptic novel where it's used as a justification to murder a prisoner of war (in context). Most people don't know its origin though. They just repeat it because it sounds "truthy" if you don't think about it very much.

The points brought up in this talk are valid though, but I don't think the answer is "good times." I think the answer is a very specific type of good times, namely zero interest rates which favored a business strategy of "expand at all costs and then we'll fix it later." (Fixing it later usually involves enshittification.) There are other types of good times that favor more balanced sustainable business models, and those tend to encourage software with a bit more of a focus on quality.

I think there's some survivorship bias at work here too though. There was a lot of total crap software in the 80s and 90s that we don't remember. There were lots of DOS and Windows apps with horrible UI/UX that would crash your entire machine because operating systems were much less solid than they are today. Security almost didn't exist unless you were on a Unix-type OS or VMS, and even there it was pretty basic and coarse grained.

Software has objectively gotten worse in one way though: it is much more bloated today. Some of that bloat is explainable by things like high-DPI displays and larger data sets, but much of it is a result of bad architecture and perverse incentives.

Conducting an examination
34. The examining officer must explain their role to the person and that Schedule 7 is a
part of counter-terrorism policing at the port/UK border, but that this does not mean that
they are suspected of being involved in terrorism. The purpose of the examination is to
determine whether the person appears to be someone who is or who has been concerned
in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. If requested, the
examining officer must provide sufficient information, such as an identification number
and location, to the person or his or her representative to enable the officer to be
identified in the event of any query or complaint.

35. The examining officer will explain how the examination will be conducted and must
offer a Schedule 7 Public Information Leaflet. The Public Information Leaflet is
available in multiple languages, and outlines the purpose and provisions of Schedule 7,
duties under Schedule 7, key points of the code of practice, including an individual’s
rights, and relevant contact details (including those needed to provide feedback or make a
complaint).

39. Where an officer decides it is necessary to examine a person for longer than an
hour, then questioning under paragraph 2 and 3 of Schedule 7 may only continue beyond
the hour point if the person has been detained under paragraph 6 of Schedule 7. Any
period of examination, including detention, must not exceed six hours from the
commencement of the examination.

Wars are going to play havoc with fossil fuel deliveries. Basically any place that relies on cheap overseas ship-born delivery of liquid fuels (think, Europe and much of Asia) is going to have a tough time if things get bad enough. Once built, renewable sources have no fuel needs.
It's not really a console though.
We will never know. What we know is that it didn't harm them.

Add Twitter to the list. They started with Rails, then switched to something else. Too many background jobs, Ruby is not ideal for that. However they became Twitter and owned that space before having to switch so Rails didn't harm them too.
> you'd have to do two fetches

I think this is the big downside. You're effectively taking information which will always be needed at the same time, and storing it in two different places.

There is never a need for one piece of information without the other, so why not store it together.
It's a hard question when you mix the content as well, but yeah, reading a YAF-y book is way more actively engaging than watching the TV version of it. There's also an extra effect of the effort needed to get to the end, possibly over a number of days that will make you think of that content again. The movie will end in a couple of hours whether you care about it or not. The details of the world building are also going to be much better in the book version where the author has more space for it.
> You know, guys, you hard-loving bash die-hards and sed+awk magicians, you should give this PowerShell thing a try before inventing the wheel again.

I did several times over the years, but it simply didn't stick. If I have any non-trivial scripting tasks to do I run a Python or Deno script instead (at least those run anywhere, no matter if bash, zsh, fish, cmd.exe, PowerShell, and also run on any CI system without hassle).

(PS: I'm not actually a Bash diehard)
Nope! Clojurescript also has bloat, but I’m referring to the unique problems that arise with combining the two.
What is the advantage here compared to cert auth which is already supported in most browsers? Aside from ease of installing a client cert.
Apparently there's more to this. They're blocking the usb port to get the user to set up over wifi first, not because it's non functional. Why does a printer need to be set up over wifi? Because certain models are tied to hp ink's subscription service and sold at a discount.

Yes, some of those things do sound silly... but they are not at all what most Christians believe.
I've thought along the same lines. I currently have some personal projects going in this direction. My vision is to create a set of tools that would allow you to set up a micro infrastructure to self-host all of these services on any cloud/hosting provider with a reasonable API.

I have professional experience with all of the technologies involved and the biggest hurdles are getting time to work on it and dealing with the absolute horror that is HTML/CSS/Mobile. Once I can get enough built I can farm that out to someone else, though. In the meantime I'm still hoping to win the lottery while not wasting any money on tickets :)

But do you admit that a handful of giant corporations controlling public debate is a problem? You just think one of the possible solutions is worse than the problem itself?

I should point out that the Westminster Declaration also attacks government censorship - presumably you agree with that part of it? As well as with the counter-speech interpretation of it - i.e. calling out companies that censor, exposing them to social, not legal, consequences?

It's tiresome to see all the problems of government/corporate censorship ignored with "I don't want government forcing me/giant corporations to promote evil people", while ignoring the options of social resistance to this censorship (i.e. not just making alternative platforms, but criticizing and pressuring existing platforms (the pro-censorship side doesn't shy away from pressure campaigns). To compare it with labor rights, they weren't won with "just quit and go work at a factory that doesn't employ children".), and ignoring the instances where government itself is legislating censorship.

I recently gave Apple $800 for some smart watches. UPS never delivered and lost or stole them while returning them to Apple. I've been on the phone with Apple once a week for the past month. It's all been very cordial. They have repeatedly "issued the refund", said I'm not at fault, etc. but the money has not been returned to me. At the end of the day they are holding a fair chunk of my cash that would be earning interest in escrow indefinitely. This is a case where a chargeback would be warranted, but if I did that then my Apple account would be locked out. This made me realize I have too many digital eggs in one basket. Even if I liked Apple more than other options I was taught that I should never put myself in a position where it is painful to walk away.

Very few printers I've unboxed actually shipped with a USB-cable... They always use USB-B ports which nobody has cables for and seldom include a cable in the packaging, infuriating.

So you're a man, presumably born as such, and with the stereotypical anatomy thereof. You also acknowledge that you have somewhat idiosyncratic preferences, and the "stuff" you have in mind doesn't fit in pockets anyway. And yet you have the audacity to tell other people what to do, based on your n=1 experience, with the implication that if they just did what you did they'd be happier. That's utter nonsense and defies logic.

Unfortunately the cheapest sort of access to this product is around £120/yr via an advisor sponsored subscription, but the insights they provide are nothing short of comprehensive

I pay it, but it is pricey for something you might want to look at just once or twice a year.

A freely accessible alternative is called Timeline (https://www.timeline.co/, sign up as an advisor and add yourself as a client), but it's nowhere near as comprehensive at calculating all your tax burdens and optimizing things etc.

There's a fair amount of tactics in working over the tax system to achieve better outcomes.
Ruthless and clumsy: Twitter alumni give Elon Musk low marks on his first year
I worked at a company that designed whole systems from chips on up. I thought it was odd that they chose MIPS as a base architecture, until someone explained that the alternatives all had far higher licensing costs. IP licensing for other parts of the chip was already their second biggest cost after payroll, so I guess that made sense.
Yeah, there is a ton of fud in the tech YT channels.
The default assumption here that someone has £30,000 per year to put into savings seems a little bit high for most UK salaries?
That's what I said (or at least tried to say), just less intelligently lol.
Yeah, and to my understanding that kind of repeated failure is par for the course for dark triad types. None of the psychos I've come across are the type to make it to CEO in even the most negligent organization.

But if dark triad behaviors are the result of handling stress poorly, CEOs becoming CEOs by being normal people capable of forming strong relationships first and then becoming psychopathic due to the stress of the job makes a lot more sense. And some people just handling stress so poorly that they become psychopathic from a normal adolescence, then stumble from failure to failure ever after (barring some kind of effective treatment. I formed this theory after reading about decompression therapy for psychopathy).
Your argument that they want this war crimes to initiate a regional war is funny. Why would you even go all this direction while an easier and more logical reason is that they are fighting for a Palestinian state [1]. And its funny that you put the blame on war crimes on anyone except who make them. No one is ever forced to make war crimes. If it is done, the perpetrators are never considered the victims at least in a sane world.

What I can see your comment is some version of, these savage people are forcing nice people at the Isreali army to make war crimes. So the victims in this story are the poor Isreali soldiers who have to kill all these people and might suffer emotionally as a result!!

This is actually useful for teaching, thank you!

Sometimes junior devs get confused seeing the clear command at work, thinking I opened a new terminal window.

Having a small (fun!) animation actually makes it, um, clearer what's happening.
There's at least three "levels" you can consider with image generation: composition, facial likeness and style. Prompts are pretty weak at composition and are the strongest point of controlnets - they do a great deal to make up for the weakness. But there are some compositions SD can't find even when given detailed controlnets.

Style generality is frequently lost in fine-tuned models. The original dreambooth tried to get around this by generating lots of images of the class to retain generality, but it's time intensive to generate all the extra images (and ideally do some QC on them) and train on them too, so it's not often done.
The set of polemics that include the word "woke" and the set of opinions that I learn anything at all from has zero overlap. None.

It's a strong signifier of a value-driven rant and a slightly weaker signifier of Dunning-Kruger.

What experts? All the women posting in this thread telling you they want bigger pockets and can't find pants they have bigger pockets?

Those are the only experts worth listening to: the actual people affected by these decisions!

Yours is precisely the same twisted illogic that prevents progress on a whole variety of economic and social issues.

As an extreme but hopefully illustrative case, consider that the people who listened to the "experts" on the topic of smoking tobacco in the first half of the 20th century had a substantially elevated probability of dying from lung cancer or heart disease.
New tech will not magically make developers security conscious.

We'll just make (different) silly mistakes with the new tech.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, why don't we just gradually improve the defaults for cookies in browsers and educate developers on using the tech we already have with security consciousness?

It's always fascinating to see how they attempt to study things like this. Press releases put these broad sweeping titles on articles that make it sound to the lay observer like some sort of interventional trial was done in humans tracking some outcome we care about like time to full function return or level of permanent impairment, after incurring otherwise similar levels of tissue damage.

Then you read it and it's dead rabbit tissue put into a machine that simulates repetitive stress and the outcome measured isn't actually healing (because dead tissue can't heal), but the expression of anabolic genes known to be associated with healing in live animals.

I'm sure it's interesting work and far more feasible to do than a proper RCT, which is almost certainly illegal because you can't randomly select humans and injure them. The best way to simulate an RCT is to select people who are already injured, but then to ensure there is some comparability in the level of injury, you'd likely need to look at athletes, in sports played by both men and women, and only look at non-contact injuries. The controls to get reliable data start to become onerous quickly. So it's far easier to cut dead meat off an animal and put it in a simulator.

Readers just need to be aware of the limitations of mechanistic studies in non-human subjects, especially when it involves artificial stimulus of excised tissue and not even injuring real rabbits. The results don't support a title like this. The researchers realize this. Other scientists reading their results realize this. But consumers of science and health content in the news reading press releases do not realize this and end up forming this broad web of reinforced "facts" they believe in that they think have scientific backing behind them, when in reality they very much do not.
My son befriended one of the leading African elephant researchers who is now one of the big wigs at Disney's Animal Kingdom. When we met him, he explained how researchers used this knowledge to teach African villages how to become beekeepers. Elephants would often trample their crops or other areas of the village, so they taught them how to keep bees around the perimeter of the village. The elephants stay away and the villagers are able to use the honey, etc. as a trade. The net result was fewer elephants were being killed and the villagers gained a new skill.
Any potential for incarceration or institutionalization is an exorbitant cost to factor into transacting with the "wrong" network.
>Law enforcement is basically allowed to lie to you

Is that actually true in the UK though? I was once "detained" in far less intimidating circumstances. I had a meeting in Bradford(UK) at 9am at some business client's place and I arrived by car half an hour early so I parked my car in an empty parking lot overlooking one of the main streets and I was sitting there waiting. Then a policewoman appears out of nowhere and asks me what am I doing there etc. I answered, and next she's asking if I have any id. When I asked what for, she used that phrase that "I was detained (but I forgot the reason why, something about assessing what I'm doing there)".Fine,I gave her my drivers license. She wrote the details down and then filled and gave me a piece of paper with various things along the lines of "you were detained today for the following reason..., you can complain here if you want etc.". She said thank you and walked away.

Later I learned some important person was visiting Bradford and they were doing security in advance. I wonder if they had a right to stop people like that prior to the" terrorist act".
