The EU have a proven history of not being very good at foreseeing obvious, unintended consequences, they also have no history of addressing those short-comings after they arise which is a weakness common to legislative bodies (large, slow, and change requires significant effort to generate support.) So it strikes me as a bit insane that they want to make a lot of very large changes simultaneously.

Of the new proposed changes, I can see so few actually rendering any net benefit to the consumer and EU businesses. There is so much wishful thinking going on here.

Do EU lawmakers believe that these changes will let EU tech businesses shoehorn themselves into these large, difficult to compete against platforms? It is not clear that it'll just be a land rush lead by large american tech companies. Then for any EU companies that do find a niche, they will simply be bought out - just like how the EU's AI darlings were.

It's like they have been baited into this maliciously: why wouldn't the EU introduce changes in a controlled roll out, where they can manage unintended consequences and limit the political fallout for problems that arise. Doing all of this at once is insanely risk-filled, and I feel this will put the journey to consumer protections on the back foot. A politician is not going to have the appetite to delve into this if it turns into toxic soup, meanwhile other countries progress will stall as they gesture warningly at the EU's mistakes.

Hello, shift+insert, anyone?
Rate cuts are usually done in response to unemployment spiking. It could take things awhile to recover once they start cutting as that likely means the economy has entered a recession.

That being said - it could be the best time to buy, but not for those that lose their job.
As you know, every single progressive effort begets a much larger reactionary effort to undo it.

The EPA in particular has been under continuous assault. Apparently a liveable planet is fractionally less profitable for a handful of incumbents, which is intolerable.

When tortured rationalizations (perverting the commerce clause, equal protection, precedent, the actual unambiguous language and stated intent of any given law, and simple logic) prive insufficient, our reactionary SCOTUS will divine nonsensical plot devices like the "major questions doctrine" to get their predetermined outcome.
The copies are non-scarce, but the production effort is indeed scarce. That's why alternatives to copyright tend to focus more on funding projects before they are released, such as patronage, commissions and public funding [1]. There's also the comically named "hostage funding" where you have a finished project, but you only release it after a certain funding goal is met.

It's worth noting that copyright is rather destructive since it impairs people from building and innovating on previous works [2], so any benefits need to be weighed against that.

> you can clawback illicit payments made prior to the bankruptcy

SoftBank isn’t going bankrupt. WeWork is. If WeWork wired money to SoftBank right before going under, it’s fraudulent transfer. This is just SoftBank continuing to pay for its stupidity.

The only way for other creditors to argue that money should be theirs is if SoftBank owed WeWork that money. But these creditors appear to have specifically struck the guarantee with SoftBank directly.
In the Netherlands an exceptional high percentage of houses are social - so they should not be expensive. But most of them are single family houses connected 'rijtjeshuis'. Think of them as flat buildings flipped over. I can imagine with the countries muddy soil it was the cheaper solution to build this way.

About weight, you can see the strength of the soil in the historic buildings. Like Delft: 3 stories high. Zaandam: 2 stories where one is build from wood. Amsterdam is build on wooden piles allowing for 5 stories.

And you can also see wealth in the height of the building. The Hague is most famous for that (as they say you come from clay or from sand), poor areas were build on clay -> low buildings. Rich areas were build on sand, high ceiling heavy buildings. Living on sand was/is healthier also, another reason why the rich flocked there.
One nit to pick: as far as I am aware, "aarch64" and "arm64" are the same thing. Am I off?

> If the form has an error, I suppose we can jump to the error field.

Yep, that's standard good practice I think for all users.

> If removing the form is the best option, then why wouldn't we full-on remove the form by setting it to `display: none`? I think the reason is that we recognize that hiding content from the page in response to an in-progress submission and then reintroducing that content based on error/success messages is bad visual UX.

So a common pattern right now to indicate the form is being submitted and it's going to take a moment is to fade out the form or the entire screen a little. And if it's going to take a few seconds, show a spinner, progress bar or progress message as well. `display: none` would look very jarring like the page just crashed. On a screen reader, you would want to announce the submission happened and the live progress, which you could get with little effort by wrapping the visual progress indicator with `aria-live`.

I agree to be cautious here but I'm not seeing a problem. I'm also not seeing the reason behind keeping the focus on the submit button when you can't interact with it now.
Is it really the best place we have, though?
I can set aside my impressions, but they exist. That's pretty normal, and unfortunately I'm a lot less biased than many tech hiring panels these days.
This lines up with my general experience with it. It’s quite proficient at turning a decently detailed description into code if I give it the guard rails. I’ve compared it to having a junior developer at your disposal. They could do a lot of damage if they were given prod access but can come back with some surprisingly good results.

Yes, the whole document via document.documentElement.outerHTML. Surely there's a lot of optimizations we could look into but this was more to try if the model could localize elements via XPath by using screenshot + HTML. It's doing a decent job for the most part, I definitely have seen some XPath hallucinations though.
Whenever I see this, my immediate thought is that such brothels are owned, operated and surveilled by three-letter agencies. Do we have any evidence of their involvement, in this case?

You're arguing for more distribution of Texas power sources, which is the real benefit of tying into a wider grid. They achieve elements of this by tying into Mexico. Perhaps feds should deregulate the grid and allow Texas to connect rather than holding Texas hostage to follow regulations before connecting.

Id argue regulations blocking deregulated connection to fed grid as at least arguably as valid an opinion as the regulated one. Regulations killed Texans because they are so obsessed with their fed grid rules theyd rather Texans die than grant ERCOT unregulated access.
As opposed to Seti, who will have something to show for it?

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with processing by itself, it’s what goes in the food that is problematic. I think just saying processing is harmful is like saying baking is harmful. They should be focused on what the food actually is, not how it is made.

“Ultra-processed foods typically contain things like artificial sweeteners, synthetic colors, flavors, emulsifiers, and other ingredients that people don’t cook with at home, Nestle said.”

So maybe focus on the harmful ingredients, not the way it is made.
Given a lot us here are engineers, we should acknowledge that knowing with certainty which screw needs to be turned and by what amount is generally far more valuable than someone who knows how to turn a screw so takes a crack at it.
I’m happy to outline our general reasoning of how we arrived at the pricing, though I’ll obviously not go into specifics.

First of all, our competition is the open source rust compiler. Current Ferrocene is a downstream of rust 1.68 and a drop in replacement, so you can develop your project using the open source rust compiler and at the point where certification is required switch. You obviously won’t get support, but the safety manuals and all the certification documentation is open source. The compiler source is also open source, so you can build from our source.

So our offering is essentially the quality management and handling of all the minutiae required to use a compiler in a corporate environment, including LTS support when required, signed installers, management of known issues, certifications, etc.

We could ask for prices an order of magnitude higher if we kept all the documentation closed, but that would mean our customer base is the people that require certification now. We’d rather have a reasonable price point and charge for the work we save the user - which puts a reasonable upper bound on the per seat price. Also, that ship has sailed - as I said, all accompanying documentation is open, which also keeps us honest.
Also, competitors can analyze your growth more easily.
Anyone have any info on who is behind this project, how reliable it is (will it be around in 2 years), etc? Considering using it for one of my projects.
There are few, and it open the door to spam, yes. I’d rather than not even have the possibility.
> it can be found on libgen, if people are really interested. (It's not a good book.)

Yowzer. I'd never dug quite that deep. You're not kidding.
I would never. I'm either genuinely interacting (with people) or genuinely shitposting in good faith (not sure what else to call it, I'm not necessarily going to stand behind everything I say, but the interaction is genuine). I assume many others here do the same.
What I see in Python is that "aarch64" usually refers to Linux and "arm64" usually refers to MacOS ARM. I don't know enough about these things to understand why they have different names.
Yeah. I need to reread it but Miguel De Landa's A 1000 Years of Non-linear History gave me a lot of framing & ideation, around the same time as GG&S, that imo served me well. And it did so by elaborating through examples &showing patterns & building the metaphor up.

Yes it reduces down to some core ideas. But the wandering around, across how widely those core ideas (some lovely artistic references to geomorphology, in A1kYoNH's case) applied again and again, was what build the 'bumper sticker' idea into a pattern I could see & discern. Neither would have been a formative experience without.
As an adversarial opinion on this, I don't think that good science is bottlenecked in any way by a dearth of grad students. Conversely, society probably already has enough of the "best and brightest" in academia, and it should do more to funnel them to other, more directly practical, endeavors.

Weldments have less shrinkage/distortion than castings, but not none. In machine tool applications, it's the vibration damping that everyone cares about, but my ultimate objective will be to find out whether it matters if you engineer in sufficient rigidity. Theoretically, for the vibrations to be an issue you'd need to get some resonance, so if you tune that out in the design spec it should be something that can be ignored. Nothing like empirical testing, though.
Rhetorical, but relevent, question: Will new measures help catch people with good opsec capabilities?

If SETI wants to make an impact, they should first do more work to disprove the hypothesis that there are small voids within the Earth's crust housing small grey hominids in a breakaway civilization who primarily live in simulated environments, sending UFOs to the surface out of the ocean. It's far more likely we'll find them down there hiding from us than we'll find intelligent life walking around on the surface of planets orbiting natural stars. The former comports with a variety of reports of "extraterrestrials" while the latter contradicts most reasonable assumptions of the game theory around extraterrestrials, if they exist at all.
My point is Amazon is blaming customers for fraud when it's the fault of a delivery mistake such as dropping the package at the wrong address. Or the drivers themselves stealing the packages.
> My default assumption is that the product that stands to make the most money from me is the one that would most benefit me.

Well, see, that's where things like cigarettes, liquor, and gambling just blatantly violate that assumption. Ads are psychological manipulation for the advertiser's benefit, hands down.
Have you ever seen people so dogmatic about a technology? The anti-blockchain group is as bad as the pro group. Why? Many people have completely blocked themselves from even considering anything blockchain ever again. Why? What if energy use came down to acceptable levels? What if there were no pre-mines? What if we can have decentralized low friction, low cost micro payments?

The odd thing about all of this - why do they think Apple will make the messages from other platforms blue?

Of course they won't, because there won't be feature parity. The point of SMSes remaining green even though that they are largely without cost is because it signals to the user that iMessage's/Facetime's features aren't available.

Google who argued that apple's designs aren't worthy of protection are now arguing that the colour of a freaking text bubble has great importance. Which one is it?
Because we still have no licensing body in software engineering (and I like that), the exponential growth of hiring during industry booms means that many teams are working with very thin access to historical knowledge because there are zero or few “old timers” around to convey past technique.

The new generation inevitably reinvents practices and sometimes resurfaces them through independent archaeology, and so there’s a lot of cyclical repetition of both successes and failures. There’s also sometimes lucky innovations when old ideas get aired out in a new context and yield different results than in the past.

If you’ve been around for a while, it’s easy to call out these repetitions and it can be satisfying to do so. But at the same time, it often means that the new generation is finally catching up on things that nobody’s been around to teach them. That’s something worth celebrating, not diminishing.
I think past a certain size it doesn't matter, but my small church let me know that it would be ideal if a gift could be split across two tax years to avoid them hitting some kind of threshold that would trigger an audit they'd have to then pay an accountant a bunch of money to deal with.

I offered since my bank had already pitched me on establishing a charitable gift fund that would allow me to claim the tax credits this year but disburse the money to registered charities in the future.

I worked with Franklin for a short while in the late 90s. He was an intimidating, if fair person. Very little tolerance for bs or people who wanted to look good. But if he asked you something and you didn't know the answer he was fair if you just said so (which I had to do on at least one occasion). Did not know he passed, or that he was involved with SETI. I remember reading in a local SD paper a few years ago that he gave quite a bit to a local charity for the homeless. He was a very independent thinker, so not so surprised that he might make some unconventional choices in how he gave away his money.

Yeah but in reality former tenants are statistically unlikely to be criminals -- you probably ran a background check on them prior to them moving in, didn't you? Former tenants could have copied front door keys after all, and probably did for noble reasons like SOs, etc.

The garage door remote I modified with the Zigbee relay is a remote I purchased and paired with my rental unit's garage door opener, and then took apart for modification. I don't own the property or the garage door opener, I just looked up which model of remote it used, bought one, and paired it. I also have the landlord-provided remote as a backup.

I don't think HomeLink is particularly dangerous in this regard; anyone can purchase additional remotes and pair them, they don't need a car with HomeLink.

If you're really worried as a landlord, reset your garage door openers for every new tenant re-pair the remotes they presumably returned to you, and re-key your front door locks while you're at it. Microscopic cost compared to what the tenant probably paid you.
