The same principle applies to colonialism. The British in India, the French in Indochina, and countless other examples from history: the imperial power always needs support from the locals, usually the elite or in some way privileged classes whose welfare becomes tied to the rule of the imperial power.

The John Oliver episode on it dug up the fact that sums as little as 100 dollars are seized and most seizures are less than 300.

I travel usually with 150-200, just in case of credit card issues. You can bet I would be mad as hell if police took that kind of cash. That is not "asset forfeiture" that is a mugging.
That is not necessarily true. I don’t have an X account; if I go to Musk’s X page I see his pinned post followed by something from 2022. So Slack could always pin the most recent post but they’d still lose the progress of the incident.
Funny enough, I would fail your interview. But not because I don't know how to solve the problem, but because I don't know how to solve the problem without Google and/or documentation. My struggle is: I can come up with some working solution by myself, but I always know that my solution is "not the best", so after "solution v1 made entirely by myself", I jump into Google and find out what's "the best way to solve my little problem". After a few iterations, I come up with "solution v4 by myself and the help of the internet" which turns out to be way better than v1.

My v1 would not pass your interview. My v4 would be a world-class solution. Fair enough, you are not looking for my v4, and rightfully so I should fail your interview (because I bet there be some people out there who can produce world-class solutions without relying on external sources)
'Mind-blowing' IBM chip speeds up AI
Oh that might be what affected me in Canada.

I was using Mint connected to my RBC account and loved it, but it stopped working forever about 2 years ago.

Now I just do it all on spreadsheets which isn’t as bad as I thought, but Mint was still nice and actually pinged me when I overspent in a category. Now I have to remember (taking away cycles) that I can only spend $X, Y times a month for lunch, beers etc.

That's likely not down to the tool, more likely a complex requirement you understand but they don't. (And are you sure you're getting the right answer? IIRC an analysis showed 10% of spreadsheets have errors - devs do care about good results, and that does take extra time)

> Where a programme solution is static and needs tons more hours for every change needed.

Hmm. Sounds like there's something wrong here, with your guys or some aspect of the business (and sure, excel is not a bad tool, just to be clear).
Exactly. The important quantity is how many calculations are being used.
zathura is superfast on Linux, can handle thousands of pages, and may be used under either MuPDF or poppler.
It's a fun argument, but using it in earnest is also committing a category error. IP laws care not just about the bits, but also about their provenance (the famous "colour of your bits"). That is, the code in question may exist somewhere in pi, but it's not where you actually got it from.

(Also, even if the code exists somewhere in pi, finding it there requires more effort than coming up with it in the first place. There are interesting mathematical/philosophical consequences of this reasoning.)
This will raise the entire world's GDP by at least 2%.
> If they know about it

What exactly leads you to believe that each and every employee of Slack would fail to notice that each and every single service accessed through the domain slack.com was down?

I never saw a single status page that provided that. At all. In fact, the most reliable status monitoring services tend to be crowdsourced third-party services, which obviously do not track ETAs for fixes.

> Any other problems related to their service which I haven't noticed

I see no reason why that could not be provided through the company's domain.

Super intelligent AI is developed, but somewhere on their (doomed) planet copyright holders get it banned. The most advanced AIs our outlawed, so only outlaws have the most advanced AIs. Chaos ensues, and the civilization falls.

Without IP laws it would have been easy for everyone to have the information to rebuild civilization, but lawyers made that illegal, so nobody rebuilds in the first hundred years and most knowledge is last forever.

Of course the civilization rises again, but the same thing keeps happening.

> For one, more workers are using up sick time often for reasons such as mental health.

Aren't vacations supposed to be for mental health? I think it's important and healthy to take time off, but why lump it with "sick" days? It's difficult to even pin down what qualifies as a mental health day. Some articles I read it's as general as "not being in the right headspace". I think it's categorically different than when you have an infectious disease.
Calling people communists is hardly a productive mode of discourse.
> only around a third of people are taking even one sick day per year

That's just people with access to paid time off, too. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says that in the US hourly workers are the majority, which means a large percentage of them simply don't get paid if they don't work, and they often can't afford to not get paid.
And I submit that this is what the real, no bullshit value of your liberal arts education is supposed to be about: how to keep from going through your comfortable, prosperous, respectable adult life dead, unconscious, a slave to your head and to your natural default setting of being uniquely, completely, imperially alone day in and day out.
There's no Typed Clojure, still? I seem to remember people porting Typed Racket to Clojure; a quick search gives me core.typed[1] and typedclojure[2]. There's an example[3] looking like this:

(t/ann hello-world-error [t/Int :-> t/Str])
(defn hello-world-error [a] (inc a) ;#"Simplified a bit")

which looks like Typed Racket, where you'd get:

(: hello (Number . -> . String))
(define (hello num) (add1 num))

(both definitions are rejected at compile time; in Racket, it works in the REPL, too, not sure about Clojure)

...and Typed Racket is a really powerful type system (see refinement types[4]). So, I thought it's just a matter of time for Clojure to get to that level of power and support. It should be much easier to do this to Clojure than to Ruby, given that you have a working example of how to do it well. So I'm really surprised Clojure isn't gradually typed by now, with most of the code being annotated and type-checked at compile time.

Not mentioned here but (as discussed by others) X/Twitter's new(ish) policy of ad revenue sharing is probably also one of the major contributing factors. It rewards engagement, so there's a financial incentive for individuals to gin up misinformation on the platform to generate cash.

"How easy that would have been to fix in OS/2 and REXX"

I loved REXX when I used OS/2. Besides using it for scripting, I wrote a few programs using Watcon VX-REXX which was similar to Visual Basic but used REXX. I was most proud of the graphical ftp program I created. I uploaded it to the OS/2 BBS but can't find it in any of the archives of the site.

In the mid-2000s I used REXX one final time to program an IVR system. I was not and had never been a developer by profession but I was the only one with any familiarity with REXX, so it fell to me.
> The only real experiment of Anarchism that was remotely allowed to stand in China was Kowloon's walled city [0], and to no one's surprise the CCP has been doing everything to hide it's 'shame' and 'colonized' past ever since the uprising in 2019, forcing everyone out and bulldozing the area under 'renovation' and offering the HongKongers little to nothing in return in the process.

What exactly do you mean? Kowloon Walled City has never been under de facto mainland Chinese control. De jure sovereignty was transferred to the United Kingdom in the early 1990s so that it could be demolished, so by the time Hong Kong was handed back to the Chinese, the walled city had no longer existed. So how can the evictions and the bulldozing, carried out by the British-controlled Hong Kong government in the early 1990s, be in any way related to the 2019 protests?

No, building that wouldn't give us anything. We use Chrome. Also works with anything else derived from Chromium, so that's Edge, Brave, etc.

I tried to create a simple family tree, Dall-E on ChatGPT Plus failed spectacularly in the 8 attempts.

That is I wanted a simple binary tree in three levels..

Regular ChatGPT Plus got to the point quickly:

[Child]
/ \
[Mother] [Father]
/ \ / \
[GM1] [GM2] [GF1] [GF2]

Note, the wrong grandparent distribution but at least the structure is right.

ChatGPT even provided a decent prompt for Dall-E version.

However the Dall-E version was giving horrible cyclical graph monstrousities that in no way resembled tree, just graphs with multiple fathers, mothers, complete non-sense.

Also, I was hoping to see pictures of people but that also was failing.

For years, a gang operating in New York allegedly offered a cash-for-Bitcoin service that generated at least $30 million, with men standing on street corners with plastic shopping bags full of money, drive-by pickups, and hundreds of thousands of dollars laid out on tables, according to court records.
The records provide rare insight into an often unseen part of the criminal underworld: how hackers and drug traffickers convert their Bitcoin into cash outside of the online Bitcoin exchanges that ordinary people use. Rather than turning to sites like Coinbase, which often collaborate with and provide records to law enforcement if required, some criminals use underground, IRL Bitcoin exchanges like this gang which are allegedly criminal entities in their own right.

It’s not difficult for everyone to tell what a mental health day is. Sometimes you can’t get out of bed. Sometimes you’re flashbacking so hard you have the capacity of a 10 year old. Sometimes someone is trying desperately to not self harm. There’s a tendency to trivialize mental health as somehow not health, I think because a lot of the time people have such trouble empathizing, as if somehow it’s not a real thing. This attitude is why so many people with mental health problems find it difficult to keep and maintain employment - so many question and trivialize any mental health problem as some inherent weakness rather than as a disease, or an injury.
