The author attends the High School I attended nearly 40 years ago. I was born, raised, and still live in Fremont.

Fremont has begun doing some of these trendy concepts that are mentioned in the article, but when I grew up none of these ideas had been implemented. I socialized with other kids and rode bike around the neighborhood. As a pre-teen, we socialized in the street and at each other's houses. As a teen I was not really restricted in where to go and there are plenty of neighborhood parks and libraries to hang out at.

None of the article's critiques of suburbia ring true to me with respect to Fremont. If you are seeking nightlife as an adult, you might feel it is a wasteland. But for children growing up I'm not seeing a problem. Part of that is that most of the city can be navigated without ever being on an arterial. Part of that is that most of the city was developed during an era where neighborhood parks could be mandated. Part of that is the city was master planned when it was small and they foresaw today's population.

It is true children spend less time outside than they used to. Part of that is fear; when my kids were young, I didn't trust that strangers wouldn't be a problem if they were outside the house. But right or wrong, that fear is worsened by the proposed changes to how suburbs are laid out, not improved.
I assume the hope is they will be needing new board members just as he becomes available.
1) Per the claims in the video, the Chinese officials were not "dumb enough to talk about highly classified geopolitics within earshot", quite the opposite. The brand new Governor, on the other hand, was. And supposedly also bragged about being courted by Chinese diplomats with half of his acquaintances.

2) It was a restaurant - one of only two restaurants on the (very small) island. And supposedly owned by the Governor.

3) I'm not sure what the nation being "well known" or not has to do with anything.

4) The youtuber is Chris Hadfield (the astronaut)'s son. I mean it's theoretically possible he could be making it up for views, but if he wanted views there are other topics he could probably milk harder.
The hard part of AGI is the self-training and few examples. Your parents didn't attach strings to your body and puppeteer you through a few hundred thousand games of baseball. And the humans that invented baseball had zero training data to go on.

Saying he is the problem is just as non-constructive as saying I'm the problem.

People aren't problems, they're people.

Rather, I have a "me and my CTO" problem.

Judging by how my senior colleagues handle this by saying "it's just a job" and not get upset, I can see how their "me and my CTO" problems are much smaller and don't overheat on a daily basis. However, since my ambitions don't align with saying "it's just a job", I am still looking for other options. Quitting is on the list, so thank you for spelling it out.

I was a kid 30 years ago. I may have wanted to watch TV all the time, but it was self-limiting back then. Much of the time the stuff on TV wasn't anything a kid would want to watch. There were only certain times of the day that you could find someone you wanted.

Screens today provide a bottomless pit of content for kids. At a parent, yes I have to limit my kids time or they'd just do it 24/7. People talk about letting their kids figure out how to moderate themselves, but either I'm doing that wrong or (perhaps more likely) that just doesn't work the same for every kid.

Windows 11 requires a hardware TPM (Trusted Platform Module), which is a black box for crypto key storage. They want to be able to lock you out of certain things on your computer. The nanny processors (IME for Intel, PSP for AMD) and TPM in conjunction with HDCP standards can control whether or not you can view certain media, when used in concert.

The end goal of major tech companies is to limit your freedoms on computing machines. You do things their way or not at all.

Requiring a TPM is a pernicious requirement added for political reasons. When Windows 11 adoption remains crawling, they will suddenly realize "oh you really don't need a TPM for Win11 guys, try it out! :)" to fool people into switching over.

We need more players like Purism and Pine64 who are trying to wrest control of the hardware layer away from businesses and back into the hands of computer owners, where it belongs.

While not a ferry, it looks like Sweden has water taxis.

Looking around I found a few listed at https://visitsweden.com/about-sweden/getting-around-stockhol... , for example, https://www.battaxi.se/our-boats says the m/s Alma ("Our fast all-round boat") carries 20.

I also found https://waxholmwatertaxi.com/services/taxi-boat/?lang=en says "We offer Taxi Boat for 1-12 passengers throughout the Stockholm archipelago."

I can imagine some people might pay good money for significantly faster transport + "eco friendly".
> Or just… not hire all of them. Much easier.

Then a competitor might hire all of them. If you're in the AI business you don't want that. You want to grab either all of them or balkanize them. Come on, this isn't a hard concept to grasp.

* Other countries like Fiji and the Solomon Islands have been shifting towards China, ...

That's the take home point for anybody unaware of China reaching out to smaller nations in the Pacific and elsewhere across the world.

They're following in the path of European colonisers and offering big loans with small | deferred interest rates and building support for China, Chinese ports and ground stations.

It's entirely possible to overhear discussions between chinese diplomats | business consultants in small nations, it's unlikely to hear any deep chinese secrtes, just sweet talking and general misdirection.

"We'll give you access to large amounts of money and kickstart big public works if you just support us with votes in the UN" is very much a teaser to lock people in for the longer term plans.
Sidewalks vary wildly, often with some nasty history. I grew up in Southern California and and was used to sidewalks pretty much everywhere, rode my bike to school a couple miles away in bike lanes, etc. I thought pretty much the same as you.

Then I moved to the east coast and, wow, there are visible fault lines from white racists losing Brown v. Board & other civil rights cases in the form of these suburbs built between 1950 and maybe 2000 which have no sidewalks, windy layouts designed to discourage visitors and prevent transit, no public pools but private ones, etc. One of my coworkers lives off of a very busy road which has a sidewalk from their neighborhood which ends abruptly a ¼ mile away in front of the house with the Confederate flag whose owner has gone to every meeting for like 40 years arguing that completing the connection to the park & bus stop will lead to a crime spree. Most of these places had racial covenants in the deeds which are no longer enforceable but definitely set a trend for the formative decades.

(This is not to say that California doesn’t have exclusionary suburbs – I used to ride my bike through some of the ones around San Diego where a Caribbean friend only rode when there was a group to vouch for him after he got tired of explaining to the local police why a black dude was on a nice bike – but they tend to be smaller and less inclined to forgo basic civic infrastructure. Even with that experience I was surprised by how widespread it was in a lot of cities we’ve visited from Florida up to Massachusetts)
Is this really a good argument for casual sexism for the sake of shock value? If we're going down that road, there are plenty of racial and homophobic slurs that are culturally acceptable (and encouraged!) in other cultures.
My kids can't even go to their (suburban) school by bike because they can't get there without riding on a road for part of the way. That's a direct consequence of car-centric urban planning.

These low-density car-dependent suburbs provide a very poor experience for everybody outside a car, from children/teens who can't drive yet to people who are trying to get to a destination (work, shop, library, restaurant, etc.) without a car.

To be fair, this was deliberately done. You don't want the person selling you the bombs to be the one deciding how many you use.
Got to love the builders. Even the EA decels can't stop them.
Perhaps because "the press" means journalism in general any way you cut it and you need to be very disingenuous to say otherwise as the spirit of the terms is obvious.

Whereas "well regulated militia" absolutely doesn't mean "random redneck with a gun fetish" - the spirit is also obvious here.
There's a feedback loop happening as well. Kids don't play outside so there are no kids playing outside.

Screens are much more compelling than playing outside. Kids are still using their imaginations but they're playing in a much more powerful sandbox. And, at the same time, outside is actually getting less compelling.

It's not healthy -- probably both in a physical and mental sense -- but the solution is far from just taking away screens. Society is structured around this now.

What suburbs are you talking about? Whenever I see the topic discussed here, people always seem to be referring to some strawman neighborhood surrounded by desert and highway. And maybe that's true out west where land is sparse, but all the suburbs I've known have been places like Abington, PA. Look at it from street view. There's plenty of sidewalks, detached houses, shops and restaurants, big chain stores, small mom and pop stores, and train stations that take you downtown. You can start from anywhere on that map and make it to a supermarket within 20 minutes of walking.

On the plus side this article is absolutely the cringiest, crypto-bro take on the idea so completely unlikely to go anywhere except a collapsing seastead.
I don't have kids either, but I'm in touch with my nephews (ages 7-14), and get to see how they're growing up. It's a very weird mix of culture change, everyone's being on their phones 24/7, and not walkable streets for kids. Luckily they live in NYC, and eldest one is now allowed to subway around, go to places as long as he follows the general guidelines set by my sister. That being said, he tells me how nobody else in his class is allowed to do the same, and their parents basically take them everywhere. At the end of the day, he still goes and plays Fortnite with his online friends anyways though.

It is definitely different from my childhood where even as an 8 year old I remember going to school by myself, hanging out in the neighbourhood with friends and etc. Definitely wouldn't blame it on just one thing, as every complex problem, it has multiple contributors.
Librewolf is great, but an easy way to lock down regular Firefox is to generate a profile on something like ffprofile.com and replace the default config.

And those are just the ones I can think of from the top of my head.

Plus the terrible excel VBA replacement they made, then abandoned, and now it's some fiddly javascript mess.

I'm sure there's a ton more people can add. Those are just the ones I personally wasted time on.

And let's not forget Window Mobile!

Edit: They've also gone through a stupid amount of changes in the asp.net MVC model in quite a short time. Plus constantly seem to overhaul their consistently overcomplicated authentication/authorization system. The state it's in at the moment is shockingly bad.

> All trade is fundamentally a person who has a thing and doesn't want to give it up giving it up in exchange for money. Labor is the same with a persons time.

I disagree. What is a farmer going to do with 100 bushels of wheat? What is an oil producer going to do with 1 million gallons of oil? Trade happens (much of the time) because a person who has Thing A would rather have Thing B and is willing to give up Thing A for it. And person with Thing B would rather have Thing A and is willing to give up Thing B for it. And money is the technology that enables this exchange to happen more quickly and easily.

>While it is unlikely that most money is used to cause "evil" acts, it is very likely that most "evil" acts occur due to money changing hands.

This has nothing to do with money or trade. A bushel of wheat or barrel of oil could have changed hands instead of money. The evil act occurred because someone wanted it to occur, and it could occurred with or without a trade.
I think part of it is also that many parents in our cohort were already raised as indoor and car-shuttled kids themselves. Some of us were still roaming around the bush in the '90's but it was already fewer of us than it was 10 and 20 and 30 years before then.

What should we expect of those folk as they become parents themselves? They have no nostalgia to lean on, and if they developed self-confidence and contentment as adults, then they're probably more inclined to refine the way were raised rather than challenge it.

So while media dramatization and fear culture surely played a role in the cycle too, and perhaps the initiating role, generational re-emphasis are probably what let it feel so pervasive and permanent.
Maybe to a very young child that is an interesting spot, but this kind of intersection certainly was representative of the closest points of interest in the suburb where I spent my middle-school years.

In my experience, older children tended to want to congregate at cafes, Einstein Bagels, etc., especially if coming home after school when the parents aren't home and all one wants is a spot for a hanging out with friends over a snack. Also, a park being a gathering place assumes ample tree cover and good weather, missing during most of the the academic year. Meanwhile, at least in the American southwest, a park is unbearably (near 100F) hot in the summer.
... I mean right now maybe, OTOH that space is as volatile as Crypto was 13ish months ago.
One other thing (among very many) that makes no sense to me:

1. Ilya was on the board and deeply involved with the original decision to fire Sam - he in fact delivered the news to Sam.

2. Ilya has since had a change of heart, saying he regrets his participation in Sam's firing, and even signing the employee letter demanding the board resign.

3. But obviously since Ilya went along in the first place, even if he wasn't the "ringleader" as many originally assumed, he must have had discussions/evidence presented to him that convinced him that Sam needed to go. While he obviously underestimated the chaos this would cause, he must have known this was a huge decision and not one he would have taken lightly.

So my point is, why doesn't Ilya just spill the beans if he is now on "Team bring back Sam". Why doesn't Ilya just write a letter to Shear saying this is why he decided to fire Sam in the first place?

God I'm having a hard time imagining how the Netflix version of this will be better than the real thing.

Why It's Great to Be an Investor Now in 2023 – Validea's Guru Investor Blog
I liked the thorough article, but my goodness did they beat around the bush w/regard to their actual contribution to this process (per the title).

I think the short version is: they made `git-cinnabar`, which is a git-to-hg translator, to help git users interact with the Mozilla repos.

----

One contribution I can make:

> For reasons I don't know, Mozilla decided to use separate Mercurial repositories as "branches".

Originally, separate clones was the recommended way to do "topic branches" in Mercurial (not to be confused with "named branches"). There was no direct equivalent to git's branches. Eventually, Mercurial got 'bookmarks' which basically closes that gap, but that only became a core feature in 2011, well after these Mozilla repos were established.

----

Aside: I prefer Mercurial myself, and I hope to keep using it for personal projects until I die (:

Investing Behavioral Hacks – The Big Picture
Yeah I’m in Melbourne and thanks to working in tech, I can afford to live in one of those inner areas with cafes and community events at my doorstep. But the average person is forced out to some hellscape like Craigieburn or Melton where kids will be surrounded by mega highways in every direction.

We really need to do more to bring pedestrianisation and walkability out to the cheaper areas rather than having them be a luxury for the rich.
