Hey I wanted to rob a bank...and despite advice to the contrary, I went ahead and did it, and now I am "surprised and disappointed" by being sentenced to prison.
I imagined a world full of robots with personality as well.

I never imagined that that personality would be working for it's real owner (Amazon, Google et al) and trying to control me.

Until it's MY friend, I am not interested in lending some of my soul to it.

We're not on the correct path are we?
You absolutely should blame these players. 'If I can get away with it, it must be morally defensible' is the thought process of a psychopath.

What they're doing is knowingly stealing out of the pocket of the taxpayer, and it is deserving of the same attitude you'd have towards a street gang running a protection racket. Just because it's profitable for them to do, doesn't mean it's deserving of respect.
Not really, it has a lot of competitors (vrbo, booking etc) and most owners list in multiple websites. it's not a competition problem, and tourists do comparison-shop around.

The problem is with tax evaders. Many use airbnb as a 'first contact' platform. If there are returning customers, they often take the money 'under the table'.
65kW in (1) Cabinet?
Is it possible to have enough cooling for 65kW in (3) cabinets and 43kW in (1) other? What Data Center in NYC/NJ market can supply this ASAP? Please note there is no chilled water that can be used. A Major DC provider said they would have to split up 65kW through 4 cabinets which makes sense. Just looking for thoughts.
Then they are the offspring of dogs that escaped or were abandoned long ago. Probably they also took over the population of any related species they can interbreed with.
Vaccination campaigns are great but can you explain how you can declare countries rabies free without doing the same for their land neighbors?

Last time I checked there were no border checks for foxes crossing from France, Poland etc. :)

Is the assumption they don't have suitable habitats outside those countries? Or how do you stop backsliding?
This is true. The CRT itself holds a small charge but at a huge voltage. So the current through you would be quite high but extremely short, and will not have time to do much damage.

Now, if you open up an old TV, what you REALLY need to watch out for are the big capacitors in the power supply. Those may be only the voltage of your power grid, but hold enough charge to power the whole TV for several milliseconds. On a 28”, that’s enough to kill you dead. Luckily the leads on those caps are not exposed unless you disassemble the TV (removing the PSU PCB).

Yup - we digitised some existing, hilariously inefficient paper-based systems. Incredible what a difference it makes.

I think at least for the NHS, making procurement more effficient would actually be a pretty impactful idea. It cost us more than a year's licence fee just to onboard each trust, as they're all different.
I don't know of any country in the world, developed or not, that has static IPs for residental home users. It's a waste of IP addresses.

The typical complain it is not so much that not enough tax is collected. The issue is the perceived unfairness that salaried employees of medium and large companies which cannot meaningfully evade taxes, get a larger share of the tax burden than self employed, and to a lesser extent, employees of smaller companies that are more likely to be paid under the board.

Whether this perception reflect the reality today (or ever), I don't know.
If the suppression from competition is having an effect, then you’ll have dogs dying in random places from malnourishment. You might also have more aggressive dogs as the hungrier an animal is, the greater risks it will take to feed.

Directly euthanizing them would definitely be more effective. Reality is just too grim for some people to admit.

are there negative consequences with regards to women? sure, as with many things.

is it "harmful to women"? oh, yes, maybe we need to put blinders on women and assign a guardian to them to help them avoid this harm!
Yeah whatabout Italian citizens? Why shouldn't we allow international corporations to socialize large parts of the economy with barebones middle man services and almost a complete lack of responsibility and liability to their customers and offer no services besides protecting themselves with Ai?

This is clearly selective prosecution against the benevolent venture capitalists who never wanted to do anything but globalize the economy and enable commoditization of humanity. :(
Honestly the companies that completely ignore ethics are the only ones who are going to scoop up any market share outside of OpenAI.

Getting a chiding lecture every time you ask an AI to do something does absolutely nothing for the end user other than waste their time. "AI Safety" academics are memeing themselves out of the future of this tech and leaving the gate wide open for "unsafe" AI to flourish with this farcical behavior.
I'm building a computer around a DEC J-11 CPU, from first principles, that is, only parts datasheets, not "just" recreating a PDP-11 compatible machine. I'm hyper-focused on it, so much I'm starting to think in octal and gate logic. It's great fun, even if nothing comes out of it in the end (except much wasted time and money).

Actually, my machine WILL NOT run unmodified unix, nor do I plan on porting it, I want to write my own, single-user system for it.
I can see where your generalisation is coming from, but again, it's a generalisation. There are a bunch of nice layers that build cleanly with Linus's tree against OE master no problems. That takes work, naturally.

In one of the Yocto Summits I've been to there was literally a talk about "stop venturing the kernel". Everyone hates it. We really do fight against the major SoC vendors to stop not upstreaming stuff and it has been getting better :-)

As Tesla seems to be trying to circumvent the blockade by using other ports, the sympathy strikes is now going to be expanded further, putting all Swedish ports under blockade (against Tesla, specifically).

This second expansion goes into effect midday on the 17th of November.

According to an interview with a representative from IF Metall on Swedish Radio (public service) yesterday, other measures is to be announced in a few days as well, adding that they have the support of other unions here in Sweden.

These coming measures is due to Tesla still not being willing to negotiate, arguing that they will bring in strike breakers to be able to continue doing business here in Sweden.

That model would make sense if you have interesting ideas/culture/tech but are capital constrained. WeWork's problem was the exact opposite - they had an excess of capital and nothing to spend it on except for buying buildings and taking out long-term leases.
Czech pronunciation is extremely regular and straightforward (sounds close to Latin or even Italian) with no weird "which vowel was that" or "half the word is silent" features and just a few exceptions. Usually if you write a letter, you pronounce the sound, and if you hear a sound, you write the letter.

A great example is that — for most words from any language that uses a subset of the Czech alphabet — a Czech speaker can just pronounce the word instead of spelling it and another Czech speaker will be able to write it down.

e.g. "messerschmitt", "nešamas", "cadeira", "philosophy", "tastaturi", "nicchia", "kaupunki", "abordagem", "povjerilac", "primauté" are all foreign words with very unambiguous pronunciation in Czech.
Saying "please" and "thank you" is hardly dealing with a personality. It's civilized behavior 101, and arguably not doing it is what takes effort.
The correct wording makes everything look more exciting.
> if it did, people would do it right, and it would work

No, that's a non sequitur. People aren't machines following rules. It's hard to stick to principles. Saying "if love thy neighbour worked, people would do it right, and it would work" is just not right. It would work if we did it, but we don't do it.
It might be surprisingly cheap. Prague was doing DNA matching on dog poop in the streets to fine owners for not cleaning up.

I think there were some problems from people breaking the poop bins and scattering the contents everywhere to reduce trust in the system ("it's not my fault, I cleaned up, someone took it out of the bin") but that wouldn't be a problem for strays right?
I'd actually be happy if tax money went on welfare as opposed to funding government incompetence, mismanagement or subsidizing the tax avoidance (if not evasion) of those at the top.
I think you too take "solve an easy problem as quickly as possible" as meaning finding the fastest performing solution to the problem.

I don't think that's what the author means. Thought TFA is a little vague about this: "Instead, I learned it was possible—and fun—to optimize on other dimensions, or play a different game. Rather than competing for an A+ on a hard problem, I could try to solve an easy problem as quickly as possible (like Wave’s accounting), or find the easiest problem whose solution would be useful (like identifying Kenyan names), or hire a team to solve easy problems faster than I ever could myself".

To me "solve an easy problem as quickly as possible" doesn't imply "fast" as in program performance, but as delivery time. And this is further corroborated by line "hire a team to solve easy problems faster than I ever could myself".
Yup. Realized this when I tried to catch up after a nine-year gap. It has started feeling like a chore now, I find myself playing for the sake of finishing it instead of being in the moment.
It's not even "kinda true". Emacs and vi are just part of the landscape, there for those that want to use them. People don't have much to argue about (beyond jokes) after nearly 50 years.

I guess the proposed solution in the article would not even be useful since a filtering on a encrypted boolean would not work and there is no way to "hide" this value.

I don't know of anyone personally who buys all their groceries on Amazon. However, I will buy a few some canned/bottled stuff on Amazon if it's hard to find in the stores around me, or if it's cheaper (sushi ingredients like nori and rice vinegar). I also think I only know about 3 people personally who have Alexa.

I think there are fewer region restrictions here, maybe because they were a US-first company. Their account management and customer service is certainly lacking.
It used to be common in Estonia, these days I think it's slightly less so, but the price is in the ballpark of five bucks a month to have a static one. It has many good uses and is definitely not a waste if you need it.
I know my device can do HDMI out and USB at the same time over the type-c port, so that's my main plan if I end up with a destroyed screen.

Estimating energy use for Apple Silicon chips
Guidelines for the Governance of Digital Platforms
When I was at Apple (started in '87, about the time the Macintosh II shipped), many of the groups in the systems software and support orgs (development tools, networking, etc.) had a table where there were binders of ROM assembly listings, maybe 2-3 linear feet of paper bound in a metal rack. They were a big help with particularly tricky crashes, or for figuring out ROM bugs, or just learning about the system.

This practice got more and more awkward as the number of Macintosh models ballooned, and was largely abandoned by the early 90s (too many machines, and groups got file servers and ethernet instead of floppy disks and localtalk).

It was fun just reading the code; it was really well-commented, and nearly every line had someone's initials on it (spot a bug? track down the responsible party and talk about a patch...)

Developing software without source control is difficult to imagine now. ("We do have source control, his name is Mike -- just give him a floppy disk with your changes and some instructions on how to integrate them.")
> it is deserving of the same attitude you'd have towards a street gang running a protection racket

The difference is that their actions here seem within the law? The law allowed them to drag out the process for so long. I wouldn't blame them for doing so.

My argument is that the legislation/regulatory environment is to blame. There should be laws/regulation on the books to discourage/punish/recoup costs of behavior we consider unacceptable.

>One thing I've noticed with young and ambitious employees, is that many need constant feedback. If they don't get any direct feedback immediately, they feel left out in the cold, and don't know how to react.

It's an increasingly cold world and some young people may legit get zero feedback outside of work. Ghosted on dating scene, ghosted by the remaining friends post graduation, and now feeling ignored at work.

Add on no third place to go to and how work is increasingly ceasing to be a second place with wfh and you just have a loneliness sandwich. They spend 18-20 years having people their age all around them and then it poofs up in smoke. I'm sure they want some kind of feedback in the one remaining place that is now taking up more and more of their time.

On the balance, the UK is better off with having a cheap LTD process, but as a downside, they are an easy way for less than reputable traders or small companies to avoid all liabilities and simply pivot to a new company when sued.

The BPF-programmable network device
It is rare, but some fake products due get through even if you always get things fulfilled by Amazon. I've never had the problem myself in years of buying things including PC parts via Amazon, though a friend has. (we are both in the UK)

Due to the way things are co-mingled in the warehouses there isn't really much distinction between “sold by Amazon” and “fulfilled by Amazon”: if something has the same product code the system assumes it is the same thing, so the picker is sent to the closest one on the assumption that they are the same thing. In my friends case this resulted in him getting a counterfeit SD card. He noticed oddities on the packaging before actually opening it, so we don't know how far it was from spec. The return process was smooth and the right product was received the next day, but it was a faf he could have done without and if he'd not noticed he might have had a shock later if the card corrupted itself after writing a small amount (many fake storage devices pretend to be far larger than they are and stop writing (or worse: data is silently corrupted) once you approach their real size). Luckily it wasn't needed urgently, so the extra day wasn't a massive inconvenience.

Rural folk tend to be more resourceful when it comes to personal vehicle repair, and EVs are usually difficult or even impossible to repair without a certified mechanic.
The source is public. Public source is not open source.

It is not open for me to port, repair, improve, or redistribute to signed and reproducible built distribution channels like f-droid, arch, or debain as I see fit. Honestly really disappointing from a team known for promoting right to repair. I was totally on board with sharing grayjay from the rooftops until I saw the LICENSE file and my heart sank.

Also at a minimum this creates a lack of accountability to prove given binaries came exactly from published code. Someone backdoors the grayjay CI/CD server and everyone gets a backdoored app. Centralized software distribution is irresponsible in a world where supply chain attacks are common.

If they just care about malicious impersonation they should have just done what Mozilla did and file trademarks but leave the code open.
Quite the achievement. Many years ago on a Thai beach there were a few stray dogs and the locals said one was called "Balls" because he was the only one that they couldn't sterilize. Every time the vet arrived Balls would smell him a mile away and just bolt, disappearing for a few hours.

I already addressed why it doesnt help above:

>Nuclear power doesnt store energy. It will pump out 2GW all the time whether you need 6GW or you need 0GW. It doesn't really help in that respect at all because it can't be scaled up and down. It's not a peaker.

i.e. nuclear power needs peakers or storage too. not as much as solar and wind but it still needs to be paired with peakers or storage.

>build a lot more storage to deal with seasonal and other variations.

This is what makes the most economic sense currently because pumped storage + hydrogen storage + solar + wind <<< nuclear power costs.

Even IF you assumed nuclear power plants could be peakers (they can't) or that Fukushima/Chernobyl events had a probability of 0% (they dont), it would still not make any economic sense to build thrm when those 4 technologies can handle everything together at a much cheaper cost and can be built in 1/2 - 1/20th the amount of time.
