>FTC definitely has some teeth now, but they can't wish monopolies out of existence

Monopolies are not inherently illegal.

If a business obtains a monopoly by offering superior products or innovation, or through superior business acumen, the monopoly is legal. Antitrust issues arise when a monopoly is achieved or maintained by exclusionary or predatory acts.
India also has a similar tough civil service test called UPSC. I have a cousin married to one dude in India who passed the test and is some sort of high official there. Apparently people study for this and another stem exam called IIT which are for some OKish colleges but the entrance rate seem to be crazy because of how many people sit for these exams, not that the colleges are any good.

There's an entire community doing N64 homebrew: https://n64brew.dev/wiki/Main_Page , including a faction who are working on a Rust SDK (basic demo: https://youtu.be/XmlmvRrRFqs).

> It's not fine when this "magic" is being advertised as on-device.

I can't help but notice that you included a lot of references, but none for this claim.

Neither of the features mentioned in the article is claimed to be on-device in the official Pixel 8 Pro announcement blog[0]. The only feature that the blog post claims is on-device is the Best Take feature, which the article does not say requires an internet connection.

But of course that's just one bit of marketing material, and I'm sure you've seen these features advertised as happening on-device. Maybe you could post a link?

Again, I see zero value in those silly tests so I won't force them on anyone, at any stage of the process. That would be a waste of everyone's time.
OLE as concept, is based on how Xerox Star and GlobalView handled documents.

Some of the Office team early developers were ex-Xerox researchers.

I haven't mentioned them, because they aren't well know outside Xerox PARC archeology.
In the context of this thread, if you consider Apple and country governments around the world one and the same, then our models of the world are too different to productively converse.
That's not theory. It's just a bunch of opinions.

You can see plenty of companies that follow those principles and still end up in bad places.

Theory is like number theory. You need axioms and theorems. Just because you assign acronyms and big words to things doesn't make it a "theory". You need proof or empirical justification.

Solid is like scrum, someone made it up. It was pulled out of someone's ass. Doesn't mean it's bad, but it's not categorically correct, it's more of someone's opinion.

Something that is categorically correct is complexity theory for algorithms. You can definitively say Algorithm A is better than algorithm B from a performance perspective. But for program design and organization? Is one design better than another? How Solid is one design vs. another design? Can you concretely even define Solid in formal terms? No.

I say again there is no theory on software code organization. None.
Because again we have not made learning fun. It is no longer cool to be learned.
Seems reasonable to me that they'd hire a commercial company to do the drone surveillance instead of their own LE for the same reason that LE purchases e.g. cell phone data: to avoid an easily discoverable record and maintain plausible deniability.

Countries and nation states are different things. Prior to the development of the nation state and national identity, cultural changes were much smoother across Europe. That doesn't mean that the cultural differences between regions weren't larger than they are today, but the change was more gradual. It was only with the development of national ideas that it became important for people living on one end of the country to identify with people on the other end.

Heavily centralized nation states create discontinuities in culture. You can see this clearly with countries such as France and Denmark, where you cross the border and suddenly everything is different. For other countries the borders have historical reasons, but are fairly arbitrary. Consider Germany and the Swiss province of Schaffhausen. Why should the people of Schaffhausen be governed under a completely different set of rules than their literal neighbours? I know Switzerland is not part of the EU, but it highlights the absurdity of your claim.

You rage against unaccountable bureaucracies as if they are new. They're not, and they're more accountable than those of the past. The Roman Empire certainly had a great deal of power over its citizens, and I find it hard to take you seriously when you imply that the EU is less accountable to its citizens than literally any government of similar size that has ever existed...
About using mental illness as a way of gaining sympathy/popularity?

Unfortunately I have to agree with the parent, it does seem to be true.

In my own experience: my niece never mentioned depression until she saw videos about it on TikTok. Then she was always moody, and constantly stating "I'm depressed, but therapy is expensive. Can you give me money? Don't you feel bad for me?"

I see people walking around with T-shirts advertising they suffer from depression.

I don't know if social media and exposure has brought the correct view of mental illness to light.

> They're really not supposed to be litigators of "what actually happened," which may not be knowable

seems like best thing would be to be able to say "this is not verifiable" or similar. seems to me these issues people have could be solved or improved a lot by having more and more nuanced info not less. Like if people are just so damn insistent the myth stay up there it should also be fine to point out "though there seems to be no evidence supporting this claim or claimed notion" when the books or stuff cited have nothing but more claims. More info, more context, not less
It features an alternative way of object-oriented design with focus on messaging and message inheritance (instead of the usual dynamic dispatch and class hierarchies). And the Gadgets framework is also pretty interesting and likely worth to be reused in current systems.
I am against animal cruelty,I give a shit. But there is an explanation for this.

We eat animals that eat stuff we don't value.

Cows eat grass, chickens eat grains we don't want, etc.

This is for efficiency, if we wanted to raise lions for food we would first have to raise another animal for the lions to eat. Same thing with dogs, cats, etc.

I guess the main exception is fishing,for example Tuna or Salmon. But in this case those fish eat other smaller fish that we don't value. You also don't (normally) see people have a pet tuna.

well but it is very difficult to guard against all exceptional situation requiring some basic aviation skills. i think the point made is that you can fix leaks one by one, which takes a very long time, or you can know the abstraction layer below.

fixing one leak and assuming there isn’t any other is not the right strategy, is my point.
Right, and playing games with words is how you have 'advisors' in Vietnam, 'team members' who aren't eligible for benefits, 'enemy combatants' whose legal designation allows them to elide any rights typically afforded the accused.

I've sometimes heard it said that job search centers can help people look for jobs, but they still expect people to be able to fill out an application, because that's a bare minimum expectation that an employer is entitled to have.

And I feel like there's some sort of correlate when it comes to a certain amount of functional literacy in conversations like this. If a person doesn't have the literacy to understand that the exercise of shuffling labels around to insulate from criticism or evaluation, to me that someone who's not showing up having fulfilled a bare minimum expectation of functional literacy. It's not a formal or informal fallacy but I do think it's fair to categorize it as a failure to bring the necessary type of functional literacy to a conversation of this nature.
Ongoing cost reductions. Next year it will be cheaper. The year after that, cheaper yet.

Yeah, I absolutely hate it. MacOS is the only system with sane handling of copying and pasting, because it doesn't have that obnoxious thing and it doesn't overload the ctrl key. Command+C doesn't interfere with ctrl+C in terminals.

Copying should always be deliberate, not something that blasts out your clipboard when you click in the wrong place and select something unintentionally. And middle click is for opening tabs.
That will cause UX regressions in cases where text is selected by JS and you want to copy it, and leads to "this text is clearly selected but if I press middle click it pastes something else, wtf?!" kind of scenarios.

You can consider that to be an acceptable trade-off, but it is a trade-off.
I praise O3DE and Godot for being open source. My experience of Godot is that it has been consistently very stable, while O3DE was not.

I fully expect O3DE to improve and maybe it is more usable now. Alternatives are good.
> they've been doing accurate jobs on factual reporting about ... events unfolding in Israel

Well no. Just a few days ago most of them ran a story as front-page news that turned out not to have happened. Hell, a lot of them even seem to have Google image-searched for "bombed-out hospital" to get an accompanying photo, again of something they can't possibly have verified first-hand because 16 hours later the evidence came out that the hospital hadn't been bombed at all.

If customers know what they’re buying, and unsubscribing is convenient, then I see no ethical problem with selling limited-term licenses—but as you mentioned, some potential customers might choose not to buy.

Depending on the purpose of the software, it might be reasonable to require a current subscription only to enter new data or to perform new calculations, while allowing customers to view and export their existing data in perpetuity.

>What’s the incentive for a developer to inflate their estimate?

Under-promise. Over-deliver. I'm not doing software development most of the time but it absolutely works out better for everyone concerned if I get things done on or ahead of schedule without mostly having to resort to a lot of unnatural acts to do so. If there's a real need for something faster, I'll tell people I'll do my best and (usually) I can get there absent blockers from dependencies. But I try to manage things so that I can meet/beat estimates sanely. It probably helps that people think I work quickly even given some sandbagging.
Modula-3 is not directly related to Modula-2, despite what many think.

Modula-2 was designed by Niklaus Wirth, influenced by Mesa, and the XDE environment after his first sabbatical at Xerox PARC. Oberon would be out of his second sabbatical, influenced by Mesa/Cedar.

Modula-3 on the other hand, was born out of research at DEC/Olivetti from Mesa/Cedar former researchers, after they came out with Modula-2+, as Cedar's evolution influenced by Modula-2 design.

Oberon is written in Oberon, by the way.
It absolutely serves this purpose in a world in which there unfortunately is no TOFU/unauthenticated encryption for TLS (i.e. ours).

Thanks to widely available HTTPS certificates, "evil hackers stealing your cookies on public Wi-Fi" is not a thing anymore.

We should definitely have a discussion about whether it's made active attacks more feasible, but I think the goal of making passive sniffing less trivial than it was before can be considered achieved.

You know the LG G5 H850?

- LineageOS Support
- Small-ish
- Up to 2TB microSD space
- Exchangeable Battery
- Audio-Jack
- Extension-Modules supported
- Decent size

My current favorite is the Pixel 4a with Audio Jack with GrapheneOS, but I won't buy it, because of the work that is required to change the battery - and there are not many used / affordable ones with reliably decent battery life.

I'll wait until the EU forces the manufacturers to support USB-C and exchangeable batteries again :p
There are a couple of key oversights in your post which explain the difference: they showed that thousands of people did try to follow his advice to vote by text message, and he misrepresented himself as speaking on behalf of the Clinton campaign. That crosses a key legal line and if you tried to impersonate the Trump campaign you’d get the same stronger reaction.

Secondly, you’re wrong that Twitter didn’t remove other instances of that joke. They removed lots of election misinformation but the difference is that Democrats, along with most mainstream Republicans, didn’t feel that was unfair and make a big stink about it. A private company has every right to say that they have rules about use of their private property and not spreading election misinformation at least used to be a pretty uncontroversial policy.
Scary I think is one thing, and I certainly think some people feel exactly this. Other folks I think struggle with maintaining this very direct but neutral voice that works well in pair programming. One that reflects curiosity, scrupulousness, and empathy all in one voice. Others I think struggle with the idea that it's more difficult to control the image people see when they're so rawly exposed to people.

I do not like specific dollar amounts. Prefer a lifestyle scale.
If you have less than 5 meals a week (not by choice) you are very poor.

If you have less than 7 meal a week, you are poor.

If you have a meal a day and not 3 a day you are upper poor.

If you have 3 meals a day but have to eat at home you are lower middle class.

If you can go out to eat a few times a week you are middle class.

If you could go out to eat most meals you are upper middle class.

If you can go out for ALL meals you are lower upper class.

If you can have ALL your meals delivered you are upper class.

If you have a full time chef you are upper upper class.
If we are going to translate animal body language and sounds to English, then I think you won’t find any animal who doesn’t show fear in front of certain death.

You said:
>Given the vagueness of the prompt, you're actually free to paint anyone, from Kumari Mayawati to Satya Nadella.

let me re-emphasize

>you're

the abbreviation you are is evidently in reference to a person, a person free to paint anyone. Specifically you asked the previous person if THEY would paint a stereotype if asked to paint an Indian.

If I am free to paint anyone when asked to paint an Indian I will never paint a specific Indian and always attempt to paint a stereotype because my personal painting skills are not good enough to paint any specific Indian and have them be recognizable by anyone.

I assume the abilities of Stable Diffusion and Midjourney are actually good enough to paint a specific Indian, their abilities are definitely greater than mine when it comes to 'painting'.

For some reason you decided my response had something to do with Stable Diffusion and Midjourney from an engineer's perspective, rather than the specific subject of what a human would do if given the same prompt.

I don't know why you would make this mistake, maybe the response demonstrates the tendency of engineers to misunderstand the meaning of simple texts if they do not match up to their preconceptions?
Note that compiles Oberon-07, which isn't the same as Oberon.
what are you talking about?

the suggestion in these posts is that the German cops made them do it, which is exactly what happens to every provider in every country - they get a subpoena, they may fight it, if they lose they do whatever it is. every hosting (and transit and peering, I assume) provider in every country has an elaborate "lawful intercept" system already set up for secretly copying traffic to the feds / cops / intelligence services.

a hijacking of said LI system is what caused a huge scandal / deaths in greece ~twenty years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_wiretapping_case_2004–05
This argument seems to say: I observe a pattern, therefore it is caused by a conspiracy.

Every pattern isn't caused by conspiracy. The nature of knowledge is to first establish that there is a pattern (I've hypothesized the same one), and then look for what correlates with it.

In this case, it's been well-known - or rather the leading issue - in international relations for generations, if not centuries: How do people get into dumb wars (all wars are awful, a very few are necesssary)?
Why would it depend on that? At which response (or intelligence level? or what?) would you stop? As soon as you could have a reasonable conversation with them?
Making Jira Tickets Better
No, this is the misleading thing. Which your article is largely agreeing with me on.

The compounding effect of wealth scales with the amount of wealth you have more than the incremental savings you’re likely to earn. Trimming your expenses won’t make a difference. If you have no wealth and low income then the compounding is irrelevant. Even if your income is high it’s very hard to acquire “wealth”.

Poor folks will be poor even if you chop their expenses by half.
> Many experts in drywall installation before drywall screws were popularized swear that screws are slower and worse.

Screws are superior as an end product. Old houses will tell you that with the amount of creaking and slop that builds up with nails.

But there are videos floating around about the expertise of some old nail drywall experts. Holy smokes it could be fast. They are probably right about the speed.
overall span is the total revenue, the individual colours within are the share of each format. normally a graph like that would be fine but they mirrored it across the x axis because someone in the chain don't care about the data really they just want the appearance of statistics. that sort of mirrored plot is gaining traction is some science fields too and some people hate it, look up "violin plot"

Has there ever been a case where trusting the client ends well?
I do not expect it would change it, but I wouldn't know something that hasn't happened yet. However, I might also be skeptical of the AI working very well. (I might also avoid to eat if they are too endangered.)

But, I do think that people treat animals badly (and treat other people badly too, who are also animals, of course), and should be avoided. (Also should be avoided attacking them as much as they do (sometimes indirectly due to policies relating to other stuff, such as structure of lands, pollution, etc), which is, I think, too much compared with how much they should be; but also the how badly is treated even by one instance is also too much badly, too.) I don't know if such AI communcation would help; maybe, but I guess probably it won't help very much. Because you will eat, is not the excuse to treat everyone even more badly and even more often.
