I have a lot of other things plugged into my desktop too. Hdmi-in, a nice USB mic. A USB light.

It's hard for me to take a two port device seriously. The cost is just so very low to add more USB3 ports, at least via internal hubs, which would be fine for 90% of my use cases.
Yeah but we re talking about the real world. If we re honest, when do most conflicts arise with bystanders ready? When people are drunk at night... (or similarly mentally impaired maybe? why do people have open conflicts in the streets in the first place should be part of the theory).

So you might say that if the theory didnt take alcohol, nights and all your factors into account, then it was as useful as considering investors as rational in an econ theory and predicted nothing worth predicting.

Something tells me there are 100x as many cute country villages in the UK as there are in the US. Here if it's not a big city, it's a depressing shamble. The exceptions are insanely expensive retreats for the rich.

Caveat - only available to tourists from a G20 country, and they need to register while exiting at an airport. This doesn't work for our neighbouring countries - Bangladesh/Sri-Lanka/Nepal which have the highest number of visitors to India.

Survival bias get in the way. The morality you refer to exists, it just doesn’t survive long enough to notice. So yes, you do something ostensibly immoral but legal for some advantage, that advantage allows you to economically out compete your more moral neighbor, who winds up insolvent eventually. If morality isn’t encoded in law and their is an economic advantage to being immoral but legal, then that’s what you will ultimately wind up with, because the moral actors will simply die off.
Maybe I've just seen way too many random sequences, but I was able to hold it around 40% for a while. True randomness tends to generate sequences that are slightly "uncomfortable" or "inhuman" -- I can't think of a better way to describe it. So I just kept trying to generate the least-comfortable sequences I could think of, and it worked alright. There should be a lot more long runs than you'd imagine.
Many of Raymond Chandler’s works take place in a California before freeways and megacities. It’s interesting to read about what was then rural LA and is now just another built up urban area.

Here’s a relevant documentary about Chandler’s relationship to LA: https://youtu.be/-MYY4CxG_GQ?si=4soVWY0UOwQMUwaR
"Graphics-intensive games like Myst have incredibly realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections, thanks to the next-generation GPU of M3"

This is the funniest thing I have ever seen in an Apple press release. Myst came out in 1993, and the "graphics-intensive" version of Myst that they are demonstrating is clearly realMyst which came out in February 2014, just a few months shy of a decade ago.

Meanwhile, my wife is happily playing Baldur's Gate 3 on her M1 Mac. Could they really not get the sign-off from any other studio but Cyan on this? No shade against Myst, it is one of the best games ever produced, but this is not how you do a graphics demo...

----

EDIT: Just now learning that there is yet another Myst remake from 2021 made in Unreal. It turns out I have played this version, but I did it on a Meta Quest 2, so I thought I was just playing a VR port of realMyst because it looked equally bad.
There's no clear, bright line between personal and professional and that makes it hard to escape the quagmire.

Orrick dismissed McKernan and Ortiz's copyright claims because they had not registered their images with the U.S. Copyright Office, a requirement for bringing a copyright lawsuit.

That is the key.
True, and we do, but broadcast and cable TV have done this for decades, and some current streaming services do this. If an advertiser wants to pay for guaranteed attention, maybe some sort of "click this dot in next 10 seconds" and the ad ends, else it'll play through. The online ad space is a pile. Silly options may work better than the current models.
I don't think that makes any sense.

I don't understand. Youtube is not forcing you to watch their videos, and that they show ads is an information you are already aware of before watching them. So I don't understand how it is YouTube's "Entitlement".

Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI's chief scientist
What's your point?

I'm not sending these.
I don’t think this is a legitimate concern any more. There’s basically zero value in “confirming” an email address is legitimate. Between all of the data breaches and various other ways to get actual email addresses this isn’t a problem. It’s also so cheap to send email there isn’t an operational cost where you need to optimise for sending only to know addresses.

There is definitely a punitive cost for sending emails that are repeatedly marked as spam though. You also can’t just cycle IPs because a brand new IP with zero sender reputation is treated with almost as much suspicion by the big player as one that is known to be a spammer.

It’s much better to give people an option to opt out, and to honour it. Most of the email sending providers (e.g., SendGrid, mailchimp, etc) force you to include the link and automatically block future sending to that address. Some will even provide you the option to provide a reason, where you can specify “I did not sign up for this” which in sufficient number will flag the sender account. I suspect the vast majority of cases where people unsubscribe but continue to get email is actually some incompetence from not having multiple disparate email systems sync back to a shared do not contact list (rather each system is maintaining its own).

Click the unsubscribe button.
Hah, that should be a trivial transpiler rule to add to one's web development build pipeline...

Is this really happening right now? Are people really rendering their entire websites into an opaque canvas? Decades of moving the web platform forward and it has come to this?
A lot of folks are talking about “incumbents in AI taking regulatory control.”

That is extremely premature. There are no real incumbents. The only companies with real cash flow from this are hardware.

We still don’t know what commercial AI will look like - much less have massive incumbents.

Maybe we should be a bit more skeptical of privacy laws that conventionally make it harder to start a social networking site or search engine.

But AI still doesn’t have a clear application.

US equities market for retail investors are riddled with sharks taking the retail investors money left-and-right.

From high frequency traders, to the fund managers, to money managers, to Jim Cramer-style filth marketing stock picks.

Hoping that investing in US equity markets as a retail investors, will bring you same benefits as it did for folks in '60s, 80s and 90s -- is being delusional, and lacking critical thinking.

The US institutions that supposedly provide a system of checks and balances, and a form of judicial and executive branch oversight, had long been gone.

We are now in the era of corruption, selective outrage, a system of sabotage/entrapment-of-opposition/spying and executive-level incompetence across most of the institutions that are supposed to provide businesses with a level-playing-fields, and consumers with trust/confidence on those businesses.
Alright, you've nerd-sniped me.

Our assumption is that the ratio of people with autism and ADHD to people with just autism is greater than the ratio of people with ADHD to people in general. Using your variables, that is: W / (W + X) > (W + Y) / (W + X + Y + Z).
This simplifies out to the constraint that ZW > XY.

We want to show that the ratio of people with autism and ADHD to people with just ADHD is no greater than the ratio of people with just autism to people in general. This is: W / (W + Y) <= (W + X) / (W + X + Y + Z).

We can recognize that this is almost the same as our assumption, just exchanging the roles of X and Y. (I guess that's obvious from the problem statement.) That means our goal is to show that ZW <= YX, which is immediately just the negation of what we're assuming. That would be a contradiction.

So, indeed, this is mathematically impossible!

(EDIT: It's surprisingly hard to write these formulae down in English without getting confused.)

I think something that would be possible is that having ADHD if you have autism is more likely than having autism if you have ADHD. For instance, "being older than 20 if you're older than 30 is more likely than being older than 30 if you're older than 20" is just obviously true, because one entails the other.
I'm weird, I sit on the floor on a cushion with my back against a wall. I have a folding table over my lap that the laptop sits on. The keyboard actually works unlike my old Intel ones with the crappy butterfly. I hardly travel these days, but throwing it in a backpack isn't the end of the world.

That said, I was actually thinking ergonomics in terms of performance of development. The thing is so fast that commands complete faster than I can deal with them. My IDE can keep up with me. I can run a ton of apps and it doesn't slow down or glitch. It doesn't get nearly as hot and there is rarely fan noise. The screen is higher quality. The speakers sound better. Magsafe is back! The button for my fingerprint works very well. No more stupid touch bar. Function keys!

> what if child labor is the only alternative to extreme poverty or starvation for people in those countries?

Many child laborers are in extreme poverty, as are their families. This has been going on for decades in Ivory Coast and Ghana, so child labor clearly hasn’t allowed the younger generations to escape poverty. It has definitely made it harder for many children to go to school, though.
As a former LA resident: Yup.

I was the kid making $9 CAD at McDonald’s in the early 2010s; it’s certainly interesting to me the same job is paid almost 3x in California.
In my experience, while maybe 60% of the tasks at McDonald’s are well optimized for machines, lots still are not and will be a long time before they are. Drive-thru immediately comes to mind - our store was frequently moving 100+ cars an hour, I can’t imagine machines being able to hit that frequency any time soon.

Japan got burned by real estate investments in the 80s and now real estate isn't considered an investment, so housing in even Tokyo is affordable. It also helps that housing structures are considered as a deprecating asset, to be rebuilt every 30-40 years.
Yeah, it's pretty pathetic they keep bringing up Myst. I definitely highlighted it as a laughing point when summarizing it to others.
This is 1000% my experience. Even farmers with working herd dogs, who can completely trust their dogs because they work off-leash 10+ hours per day, still clip on a lead in public.

It's not because they don't trust their dog. It's because they don't trust OTHER people's dogs -- especially because a good 80-90% of people with off-leash dogs don't actually have control of their dogs. They just really like the aesthetic of an off-leash dog and, by golly, they're going to do it--even if they haven't put in the gruelling training it requires, and even if it means their dog is endangered by other dogs. They don't care or think about it because they don't actually have a deep bond with their dog and value it; it's an accessory.
Yeah, but now you're associated with a killer, whatever SNPs you share pile up into correlates.

Insurance companies see you as feckless, lenders see you as risky, law enforcement sees you as a likely criminal, justice sees you as a burden.

And maybe it wasn't even you that volunteered the sample. And maybe I share some of the SNPs, and maybe I have some countermutations, but they aren't properly analyzed. Now my feet are in the fire despite no predisposition to violence or recklessness just an association.

This is one step and I expect another. For the greater good, for security, for the safety of the nation, for the children.
In my part of the world that would be inner sheep.
If the selection criteria for two groups of people is "anybody" and the rules imposed on them are, "do whatever comes naturally in the absence of institutions or accepted culture," the things you see the groups doing will be almost exactly the same.

Considering the $100 million loss at MGM and the $500mm loss at Clorox, it makes total sense that they are going after them especially considering their private equity owners actively avoided their risk management duties.

Additionally as a government contractor, they should hope they don’t get hit with a FCA suit as well considering the DOJ is looking for whistleblowers in cybersecurity.

I had four or five gens of MBA over the years and generally agree. The new form factor is just not the same. It is much more like a how I'd envision design on some modern "Macbook" proper.

But the Air brand has been so successful, I think they just called it that knowing it would help move units.

That said, I use MBA M2 for my main machine and its so powerful and has such a fantastic battery life it is still the best Mac I've had since 2015 MBA.

I fail to see how it's related to free will.

I can look at the digits of PI and press d and f depending it's odd or even. So what does it prove? Nothing. Being able to beat this algorithm doesn't mean that I have free will, and choose to fall into patterns (knowing the PI solution exists) doesn't mean I don't.
Depends on the founder's situation, whether they're independently wealthy and whether their investors (if any) have taken on some of the risk. But for some bootstrappers, they get next to no salary and if their company fails, they might lose their house and be unable to feed their family. They're truly all-in.

That's not going to happen with the first example from the article:

> Fiorina received a larger signing offer than any of her predecessors, including: US$65 million in restricted stock to compensate her for the Lucent stock and options she left behind, a US$3 million signing bonus, a US$1 million annual salary (plus a US$1.25–US$3.75 million annual bonus), US$36,000 in mortgage assistance, a relocation allowance, and permission (and encouragement) to use company planes for personal affairs.

A particular feature of LA and SoCal is that it was well settled and the car culture was in full swing before the freeways really arrived. An artifact of that is the freeways were, mostly, essentially laid on top of all the existing transportation and transit infrastructure.

So much of the original roads, and the communities served by them, still exist. Most of what we’re considered highways in the past are now major boulevards with stop lights at every intersection, while the nearby freeway is laid on top of the original traffic grid and neighborhoods.

This is part of LAs notoriety for its “shortcuts”. As folks jump off the congestion of the freeways onto the local streets. An ability now obsoleted by modern navigation apps.

Lived here most of my life. LA is not kind to its past. We tear down the old to make way for the new all the time. But they can’t flatten all of it, several active history and preservation societies doing their work. Some wins, some losses.

But a lot of TV show’s were filmed here, and act as an ad hoc window to the past. I like watching shows like Colombo, and looking up the locations they used. (Colombo’s suspects lived in some VERY expensive homes.)

Similarly, in my neighborhood are brand new homes behind a 40 year old church that sold their backlot to a developer. But the church is across the street from a 100 year old farmhouse. Barn and all. And there’s a mix of others nearby.

Outside of the Master Planned communities of Southern OC, there’s still a lot of this interface of old and new all around SoCal.
As another commenter already pointed out, open source tends to build on open source, so I'd expect more and more complex chips to be built on the platform over time in the open. Maybe there's a future world where a viable open source smartphone can exist even.
Housing also depreciates. We just have a lot more land appreciation, and apply high maintenance costs to our housing to counteract as much depreciation as possible (we pay down depreciation more immediately).
The first issue is that it's too long, so none of his ticky-tocky-tribe even read it.

Joking aside, the review doesn't feel over the top or unfair and given that any review is an opinion piece, it's the reaction that was way over the top.

practically: minimised expenses, quit job & university, went to coding meetups in my city 1-2x a week, signed up to a couple mentorship programs as a mentee, read through and completed exercises in books on web fundamentals (via codeacademy, pluralsight etc - microsoft used to give free memberships), C ("the c book"), JS (ydkjs, eloquentjs), Go (straight to the docs), posted all exercises and projects to github, built and deployed an application for a not for profit, took on average ~15hrs freelance work a week, reviewed job boards, requested feedback from recruiters and interviewers and used it to adapt syllabus.
Why the question mark at the end of the title? Did you or did you not make that app?
I am defining force as literal force. What theft can occur without physically touching the thing being stolen?

This is like saying you work 24-7 because breathing involves physical motion. Insisting on ur personal definitions of well-understood terms while disregarding how everyone else uses them is childish. But even if we use this, ah, special definition, legal remedies in tort cases typically don't involve force. You get a judgement of liability from the court, and and are ordered to write a check. You can complain about government force, but by your criteria your injury is wholly imaginary.

Meanwhile it seems clear that you do not consider that authors of creative works to have any rights whatsoever in their output. I hear this a lot from people with no creative abilities of their own.
ZSA. (https://zsa.io) they make keyboards like the Moonlander, Ergodox EZ, and now the Voyager.

I once reported a bug in their online keyboard configurator. About an hour later I got an email from one of their developers asking me to send him a link to my config. Another hour went by and I got an email saying that he had found the bug and pushed a fix.

Later, when I had a power module failure, I emailed support for help. They asked for my address and shipped me a new keyboard. All I had to do was ship the broken one back once I was happy with the new one. Super super solid support. I’ve had the CEO email me personally too. I love small companies like ZSA.
I mean San Pedro is also part of the city of Los Angeles. LA is basically an hour away from LA.
If you are running your own postfix MTA and those mass email providers keep spamming you even when you write their abuse@ teams: I created a simple anti spam tool/blocklist generator that can be integrated with postfix's postmap format, because spamhaus was totally useless for those providers. [1]

It's trying to be dead-simple, and also blocks the alternative ASNs these spam providers have in reserve. Haven't found a fully automated way yet because whois protocol is kinda broken, but I'm working on it.

Ya caught me. My 15 years of road trips across the US, moving across multiple states, and frequent visits to the UK have made me ill-equipped to comment on the state of US cities and villages. Dang. I thought I could get away with it too.
> they're at risk of being sued

I think this risk is overstated. Individual spam recipients in the United States have no standing to sue under CAN-SPAM; only the FTC does, and there's a high bar to get their attention.
Any instance of an individual person, at any level, deviating from the mandate of the corporate machine is eventually removed from the machine. A CEO who puts the environment before profit, without tricking the machine into thinking that it's a profit-generating marketing move; an engineer refusing to implement a feature they feel is unethical; a call center employee deviating too long from script to help a customer.

All are human actions. "Against corporate policy." Go ahead, exercise your free will. As a shareholder, an employee, hell as CEO. You will find out how much control a human has.
Right, but why can't you disable the internal display to run 2 external displays? That wouldn't be an unreasonble compromise but seems not possible.
I do think there's a bright line, but it's between trying to express yourself while negotiating reasonable emotional common ground (personal) and constantly trying to prove yourself while expanding your "turf" of opinions and beliefs as far as possible (professional), which is then confused in context when people operate in one mode in an environment that really fits the other. The complementary mode swap to the one you are talking about, are the crowd who argue non-stop in the Twitter replies of people who were just having a thought and not actually planning to become a Socratic philosopher. That is the consequence of treating every interaction like it's a task-focused meeting with implied rewards for whoever comes out looking like they were on the top of it.
Excellent! Thats actually very helpful and rich in actionable steps or moves :)

Sometimes I see too much of myself where it isn't 100%certain its there. Forget about it ;)
Don't use a catch-all. List specific allowed addresses, and remove them (after reporting) if they become spam sources.
