Oh no, I meant nationalising companies instead of simply trying to rely on taxes to solve whatever issues you need to get solved. Gotta attack the root causes instead of the mere symptoms.

I'm replying to my own comment here since it was so severely downvoted. OP was musing about a bunch of questions that didn't seem useful to the discussion. Who was he asking? And if you're going to say an Uber staff member, why doesn't his comment indicate that? It just didn't seem to add to the discussion at all.
You'd still very much need virtual memory to isolate WASM linear memories of different processes, unless you want to range check every memory access. If we're dropping linear memory and using the new age GC WASM stuff, sure.

An exploit to the runtime in such a system obviously would of course be a disaster of upmost proportions, and to have any chance of a decent performance you'd need a very complex (read exploitable) runtime.
I'm confused what conversation you think we're having. Someone said that car crashes are "not accidents." That's fucking crazy, so I'm pushing back on it. They are clearly mostly accidents. Not liking cars, people who make cars, people who sell cars, and people who drive cars doesn't make them not accidents.

The EU is already planning to make that happen through the Cyber Resilience Act[1], which imposes unreasonable constraints and litigation risks for FOSS users unless certified.

I was unemployed for 8 months and only had a little bit of work from my clients to attempt to make ends meet during that time. I was very busy with a huge project and passed most of my clients off to colleagues in 2 years prior. I applied for over 500 jobs and got ghosted by most. Got over a hundred rejection letters. Only 3 interviews. The first 2 ghosted me after making me meet everyone in the company and giving me tours of the facilities.

I recently made a new business partner while interviewing for a position in a company that was just all sorts of wrong. The office manager listed for marketing but the guy wanted salespeople. We ended up hitting it off and now we're working on setting up a few new businesses together. Worked out great. Hopefully I can start hiring some teams, soon, and get some jobs out on the market.

> It feels weird to use quotations on "smarter" or pretend this is a complicated concept when it's just describing how humans achieved greater intelligence faster than the speed of evolution.

It’s in quotes because the orca did not become smarter.

If you replace orca with human, the quotes would still make sense.
Just use podman, it works just as good
This seems like an e-washing argument to me. Just a couple of months ago (well after the new CEO joined) they were touting their ammonia engine as the 'death of EVs'.

Can you point me to where the US ratifies this minimum tax?

Note that Ireland has already implemented this, and I'd estimate the chance of it being made into US law as less than 10%.
There's also some amount of national politicians laundering unpopular at home legislation through the EU, having it proposed and passed there and then throwing their hands up and saying "See, it's the EU making us do this". The UK's "success" on that front is part of why the anti-EU sentiment there was so high.

> Anyway, useless information, you shouldn't be using password schemes like that. The horse shoe battery staple type password style should be quite sufficient I think.

I wonder if its better to make an encoder that uses words and the output looks like "horse shoe battery staple" except you don't release your dictionary list of potential words output by the encoder, but then you guarantee that you can always re-create a password if you lose it, assuming you don't lose the dictionary file.
No one is suggesting people ought to spend thousands of dollars on their hobby. The point is that the difference between an $80 computer and a $120 computer (for example) is not going to break any hobbiest in 2023. I'm trying to figure out why anyone wants to pretend that that kind of difference is a big deal, and why it always manifests in Raspberry Pi conversations. It's weird.

I hate these things, I have seen them in some of the Walgreens around town and I just keep on thinking about the energy wasted both by lighting up the whole screen brightly enough to see in the store, and by customers opening the doors up so they can see what's actually there and letting more cool air out.

I've never seen them displaying ads, just big graphics saying "WATER" or "ICE CREAM" or "MILK" or whatever when there's nobody in front of them. And I find it kind of fascinating how, when they do notice someone's in front of them and deign to switch to showing the inventory, my brain just completely slides off of the crisp pictures of the drinks on a bright white background. Even before the first time I opened one up to find that it was inaccurate, it felt like my brain just knew that the inventory would not necessarily match what would actually be in there, so why bother wasting energy parsing it?

(And this is with them all working, largely as designed.)

I am glad to know they are on the way out. "'Vegas' in a derogatory way" is a good summation of my reaction to them.
Last spring, I stopped at a nice brunch place in central Hamburg. The waitress spoke English and asked where we were from, etc. Usual touristy stuff.

When it was time to pay, we were surprised to hear only local German cards were accepted. I couldn’t use Visa, Mastercard, anything. It never occurred to them to warn us. I had to walk around for 25 minutes on the hunt for an ATM to pay my due.

What was a nice lazy Sunday morning turned into an annoying time travel back into the early 90s.

Bloomberg Businessweek has run a series of articles about the problems at Walgreens.

https://www.google.com/search?q=walgreens+bloomberg

They just settled a shareholder lawsuit over the failed takeover of Rite Aid.

(I patronize Walgreens quite a lot because they are one of the closest stores to my location, mine used to be a Rite Aid.)

Before that they merged with the Boots chain in the U.K. and got the idea that they could increase sales in the front of the store (e.g. not pharmacy) but they didn't seem to understand the "cost disease" in the U.S. that makes health care an order of magnitude more expensive than anything else such that CVS, doubling down on health care, had the right strategy.

The pharmacy staff at our Walgreens deal heroically with a huge amount of brokenness, there was the time I needed a prescription filled in a hurry and they called around and found a competing pharmacy that had it in stock and sent over all my data including my insurance for one of those "seamless" experiences that marketers are always talking about. Then there was the time I came on Friday and they told me they could have it ready in 30 minutes but I said "No, I'll come tomorrow because I want to make it to a football game" and they said it would be ready the next day.

Well the next day they weren't able to fill any prescriptions because of some electrical failure that had technicians working in there. It turned out the pharmacist, because of a worker shortage, had driven two hours to get to work that morning! He also told me that they couldn't fill the prescription just yet anyway because my refill only became available the next day to which my reply was "I wanted to get the ball started early in case something went wrong."

No. It's setting an async timer in a module that might not support that at all. It's establishing a variable for that in a scope the programmer might not normally have access to. It's making decisions about how quickly to back off and is there an eventual minimum floor. It's making decisions about what events ought to reset the timer, such as starting the car. And it's about creating a series of tests to verify this behavior, which is awfully non-obvious when the behavior might take 10 minutes to verify and tests are supposed to complete in 5 min.

It's fancy.
That would be somewhat OK, IMHO. The power of big companies comes from the fact that they can throw money around. Breaking them up would limit it, and make these flows publicly visible.

It might be interesting to consider others who are involved in child-rearing as well. If the main predictor is having two parents stavly present, as opposed to marriage, it may be worth considering other ways in which this is accomplished. For example, by friends or family. I've considered becoming a parent and one thing that strongly factors in whether it would work is whether I would be able to have that kind of support network beyond my partner, as raising a kid even as two people seems like a lot of stress: but 4 people dividing the work of 4 kids is seems much easier. Traditionally family would be around to fulfill this kind of role, but both I and my partner live far from our relatives, so we would need to lean on our friends instead, and given how hard it is to make friends as an adult these days, let alone ones close enough to help with childcare, it seems that's an option which is available to few. Perhaps fixing that problem would also help with this one.

At some point property damage really is self defense if said property is actively engaging in what amounts to assault. And vote-with-your-dollar is silly advice when we cannot assume there are available alternatives, and when the "disruptors" and "marketing wizards" involved with this crap are explicitly reaching for captive-audiences, do not provide volume controls or off buttons, etc. Sometimes the gas station ads start up blaring noise after you've already paid, so you can't tell when you're going to get hit with them. And good luck finding a taxi or an airline without a screen blasting at you, effectively further monetizing people even though they are already paying for a service. Even first-class passengers everywhere are subjected at minimum to a litany of "join our miles club" crap every time they fly. If passengers aren't force-fed this stuff on the screen in front of them, it will be on the PA system, which really ought to be reserved for actual information/emergencies and not used as part of "captive audience" shenanigans to improve someone's margins. This behavior is sickening and should really be illegal. Since it's not illegal to engage in assault-through-advertising though, property damage starts to look like the only way for consumers to speak a language that corporations understand, i.e. by affecting bottom-lines and margins.
maybe excel is just not the tool for the job?

That looks great, I was not aware this existed.

However, considering you have to build your own custom Arduino board or be on the waiting list to buy one, it's a bit more complicated than "Just buy a simple USB floppy drive for 15 bucks online".
This was the first time I’ve ever seen these. Thanks for the walkthrough. When I was in grad school I remember these books and all the freshman who could see them telling me I had wrecked my eyes from spending countless hours in the computer lab.

The european parliament can vote the bill down. But that's the last line of defense. The danger is that a lot of politicians will think that it's for the benefit of children (which is nonsense) and will therefore vote in favor of the law.

Right now it is actually the council of the EU that is preventing the law from progressing.
It’s been a couple years since my last attempted strike but it’s good to hear that they are trying solutions. Maybe that’s why I haven’t gotten one in a while.

I enjoyed that what I did made a real impact on people, I enjoyed the sense of satisfaction from making a space nice again, and I enjoyed that it wasn't intellectually demanding, which gave me plenty of time every workday to think about hard programming problems.

There's a real sense of accomplishment in it, and it's nice that people can immediately see and enjoy the results of your hard work. There's also something about doing manual labor that is satisfying.

And I enjoyed being "invisible" around people who used the spaces I cleaned. You usually don't exist, so people tend to continue to speak to each other as if nobody else is listening. I learned a lot about people that way.

> The declines challenge an argument often presented by skeptics of mainstream climate science to downplay the consequences of global warming: the idea that plants will grow faster with larger amounts of carbon dioxide. The argument hinges on the idea that food supplies will increase.

> It’s largely a red herring, as climate scientists have patiently explained for years. Rising CO2 does benefit plants, at least up to a point, but it’s just one factor. Plants are also affected by many other symptoms of climate change, including rising temperatures, changing weather patterns, shifts in water availability and so on.
Google made the situation a bit harder for themselves with their info boxes (that just repeat the first result, but in an authoritative Google voice) but the "secondary publisher" argument used in the lawsuit makes sense to me.

They weren't required to know the truth from the get go, but they had to remove the libel on notice. Perhaps Google disagreed that there was anything wrong with the assertion that this person was a stalker, but that's a rather risky position to take without any criminal convictions to base their claim off, and a stupid one from a business sense.

Furthermore, their autocomplete is entirely their product, you can't go after anyone else for that.

I imagine this approach wouldn't work in other countries, but if the lawsuit really was baseless in Australia, Google would've won a long time ago, rather than settle now.

Yeah, there are half-hourly pricing tariffs too, but I think that's a bit more niche - the added value is mostly if you have an electric car and your own solar panels.
Like I said in another thread, I use a rpi zero2 as the backup of a VPS so I can program on it with my iPad even no internet is available. The reasons I use it is that:

1. You can configure the zero2 so that when it is connected to the iPad with a usb cable, 2 machine will construct an ethernet over usb and you can mosh from iPad to zero2 without any external network. zero2 also get both the data and power from a single usb cable

2. zero2 is cheap to replace. Micro sd card is cheap and easy to be cloned. You don't worry about software or hardware loss.

3. zero2 is actually quite usable in headless/ssh mode. I used to do the same thing on zero1 and it's a little bit sluggish.

I actually have my entire setup stored in a mint tin box.

This is a reply from an actual youtuber for reference:

"Hello, from the perspective of a channel owner with some experience, I do agree that your problem is real and common among YouTubers who outsource their editing. Your proposed solution does seem viable and efficient: it cuts down unnecessary steps, saves on bandwidth, and still ensures control over the video approval process. It's straightforward and practical — like a streamlined content management system specifically tailored for YouTube content creators. A potential challenge might be ensuring seamless video quality during the approval and upload processes. Nevertheless, with the right platform and technology, this could be an innovative solution for many YouTubers out there."

> I mean, when you're talking about things (items in your "finite hobby budget") that cost less than a hundred dollars, why are you going to fuss about the "price point?" I am intrigued by how much this appears to matter to people who comment on Raspberry Pi threads.

Usually an SBC is just one item on a project's part list. If I can get one that's equally suitable and 20 Euro less, that's another bunch of sensors, or another smart light, or a few additional PCBs, or a spool of filament, or another display, or other peripheral, or another filter for my photography kit.

> Is there some missing context here, like "...and they only have ten dollars to spend on hobbies during the entirety of 2023 due to the famine wracking their homeland?"

People in that kind of situation will probably not be looking at a Pi 5 for a hobby project. A lot of people are better off than that and still not in a place where a hundred dollars here and there isn't even worth thinking about. I try to limit hobby expenses because that allows me to have more projects and play with more things without cutting into anything more important.

> Hobbyists spent, at times, thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars on microcomputers in the eighties, and that was real money back then. Even the quaint ZX whatevers that were sold in Europe were, in inflation-adjusted terms, much more expensive than a Pi.

At least for the things I do, that's a wildly inaccurate comparison. A Pi is more like a drop-in part like an electrical component would have been back in the 80s, and most hobbyists would not have paid thousands for a specialized diode or the like, and most wouldn't have bought another personal computer for a new project. The closest analog to a proper computer back then would be my laptop, and I did pay "real money" for that. I don't buy Pis as standalone personal computing devices, they're for automation that I can't or don't want to fit on a microcontroller. Two Pi 4s are running Home Assistant deployments, another (zero W) is driving an e-ink info screen, one Pi 3-something sits inside a half-assembled robotics kit, I had another 3-something running OctoPrint until recently. If I had to pay "real money" for any of those, I'd just do without.

That's a particularly weird one, because it's just populated with phrases people search often (as befits an autocomplete box). The point of search is to find things you don't know, though! I search for e.g. "XYZ scam" to find information to help me conclude whether XYZ is a scam, not to register my belief that it is in fact a scam.

I guess that goes to your point, though: maybe Google needs to make that clearer?
