I'd assume it's due to the discovery not being some human remains but rather processed wood, making it the oldest evidence for wood working we have by a massive margin. Quote from the article:

> Prior to this discovery, the oldest known surviving wooden structures were built by people living in northern England around 11,000 years ago.
Well sure. The homes my landlord rents are mortgage free. I can say the same for folks I know with 2nd vacation homes and airbnb rentals.

For the rest of my anecdata: For folks I know living in their own households, about 20% have it paid off. About half of those folks own multiple homes.

Originally, probably because it was inflexible. You have to use the in-memory layout required by the hardware, and you can't do anything not supported by the hardware. Later, it didn't get updated (probably because no one used it) so today it won't save things like the MMX and SSE registers, which makes it even less useful.

It's certainly much faster today to use sequences of mov instructions. In practice, it's a block move of multiple registers to memory/cache. That's something any modern pipelined and microcoded processor will have specialized support for. What instruction or instructions generates that internal action, is largely beside the point.
The article gives not a hint that "Weak Toy Sales" are a problem for non-Hasbro toy makers.

And a trivial web search found a Business Insider article from July - stating that Mattel was betting big on their just-being-released "Barbie" movie, while Hasbro was de-emphasizing Hollywood.

Sounds like the headline should be "Hasbro's Bad Business Strategy Leads To Big Job Cuts".

It's fun to compare the story of the cook with the renaissance concept of Sprezzatura - the art of doing hard things, while making it look effortless, so as to attract the attention of the ruler.
Appellate courts set binding precedent, but district courts routinely look to eachother for guidance on how to rule on questions where there is no circuit/SCOTUS ruling.

Similarly, a judge in one circuit may look to the decision of a different circuit court when their own circuit has yet to rule on an issue, even though a different circuit’s opinion does not bind them.

In this case, however, the issue was ultimately put before a jury which doesn’t produce the kind of written decision that other judges would look to when deciding similar cases.
This isn’t news… Facebook won’t remove any scam ad, post, or account either. They just don’t care.
Fun fact: under Australian Consumer Law you cannot specify a set period of time for warranty purposes. The device must be fit for purpose and be of acceptable quality. That's it.

Obviously, if you buy a $10 toaster, the reasonable timeframe is shorter, but there is nowhere in the law where you can specify a particular time frame.

HP, Apple and a bunch of other companies have found this out the hard way. Basically, if you are a multinational, then do not screw with Australian consumers!

Did they say “all there is to life is to pay taxes”? You’re reading what you want to read and shifting the conversation. There is a social contract that the majority of the population voted for you like it or not. That’s what society is.
If you want to follow your own calendar, pay with your own money, not share your bread with the rest of the team, then don’t expect that team to pay for your needles, clean your poop, and also expect them to let you continue doing this indefinitely in the nicest parts of the town that was built with the shared bread of everyone else.
The “contribution to society” we agreed on at a monetary level is taxes. We agreed on it so hard that if I don’t pay them I go to jail. Why should I be happy to use that for people who don’t want to be part of that system?
What contribution to the greater society are hard drug users or homeless with mental issues without a recovery plan giving the society? Are they donating their time to clean up downtown? Trimming weeds? Walking old ladies across the street?

Why normalize this? The more permissive you get the less pressure there is on fixing it. I’m not saying jail like a thief or murderer would get, but why not make the decision for someone unable to do it themselves and enforce recovery?
According to the followup toot, Youtube seems to assume Firefox + Linux + aarch64 = HiSense 65a67gevs. This was reported elsewhere too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+... ; that issue was then forwarded to Chrome's bugtracker (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=150011...) which was closed with the comment "I'm hopeful they'll eventually get around to fixing the bug that you've reported".

It sounds less like "let's help the poor Raspberry Pi users" or "let's make Asahi's experience worse" and more like "workaround for a buggy TV that nobody bothered to implement correctly".
Addiction and the like has a genetic component. Also we, as a society, voted to stop investing in services like mental institutions or publicly available and affordable healthcare... so yeah sure blame the victims: they at one point had their faculities but now some are so far addicted they don't act as you or I would expect but in service of their addictions or afflictions.

Yeah we've been thinking about a headset-only version too :-) The advantage of the controllers is they have 'Quest compatible' inputs - so content built for Quest can be ported with minimal fuss. That said there's many use cases that don't need the controllers, or for which hand tracking is sufficient, so we're definitely looking into it!

What?

I never said that. The Apple iMessage APNS is proprietary - and Apple explicitly state it cannot be used without their blessing.

In addition Apple have the right to terminate any Apple IDs that they feel are being used to circumnavigate their approved service access.

I’d be grateful if you’d stop putting words into my mouth here. I’m not claiming any analogies- just facts.
But that argument goes both ways? Why should abortion be legal at 9 month but killing a born infant being one day older is murder? And if it is not then what is the cutoff point? The previous schelling point of viability (which was moved earlier over time by medical progress) also is unconvincing.

Time limits can be a pragmatic and tested solution. I think most European countries use 12 to 15 weeks.
No, that's apple marketing, eg. apple upselling 32 or 64 GB phones or ipads to 256 or 512 etc gives them huge margins on the SDDs they resell by a $100s. If that was its own business it would be larger than 3M.
I'd say in Belgium's case the country is sufficiently developed and it's institutions are also sufficiently developed to function without changes. The state can run itself (it's still in control) and there's little need for bold, perhaps controversial government decisions (long term versus short term). In the longer term it could be to their detriment if they are not able to act on changes needed in a future changed version of the world.

I'm not doubting it will be grounded in peace, a stalemate can be a form of that as nothing will happen. A state not only keep residents safe (ideally they should try do this). It becomes a failed state when a state is no longer in control. When other government services like utilities are no longer delivered, that's when the failed state question can also come into being. Lebanon isn't quite there thank goodness but it's not great either.

I routinely see ads for fake medical treatments that they refuse to take these down when I report them despite the fact that the ads obviously violate Google's policies. So many of the ads on YouTube are for things that are obviously sketchy that when I see a new product I'm not familiar with for the first time in YouTube ad I just assume it is a scam.

It's crazy because YouTube has probably more information about the sort of products that I actually want to buy than probably any other company besides Shopify. About a quarter of what I watch are literally just product reviews. They have a ton of high-intent purchasing signal for reputable products, and instead they are showing me ads for trash. I know it doesn't have to be this way, because Instagram somehow manages to show me highly relevant ads for stuff that I've actually gone on to purchase after discovering there.
I like to read news after some "cool down" time.

In the case of Israel vs Hamas I did not pay much attention to the event initially. It https that I have no special interest in any of the actors.

After a few days I had a better view and I build dig into the history of the conflict and end up with something more substantial that hysteric and contradictory information.

I am French and our minister of interior has had his proposal of law rejected. Looks like this is something serious but I will wait a few days to look more closely once the dust settles.

Following the news is extremely stressful and outside of effects that directly touch you, I am for the wait and see approach. The last event that required an immediate followup, as far as i remember, was the beginning of COVID when regulations applicable overnight were coming daily.
A while ago I reported a video of a cat being blended in a blender on Facebook. Apparently that didn't go against their policy either.

No, i was asking if it was free in respect to beeper, because the beeper not being free is literally the comment i replied to. I feel like you're looking at my comment in isolation, but expecting me to keep your comment in context - which also seems to be lacking context.

LOL, though I didn't take a course in BASIC (AP CS was taught in Pascal), I swore up and down as a teenager that Pascal "would win" and put off learning C/C++ as a result.

It didn't hurt me much since I started writing software, professionally, in C#, which I'd started writing code in shortly after it was released. I'd even offer that my background in Pascal was relatively easily translated into C# once you get past the minor syntactical differences[0].

I think discovering how wrong I had been about Pascal's future is one of the reasons I don't fanboy programming languages. Don't get me wrong, I favor C#/TypeScript over nearly everything, but I recognize that's because those are the languages I understand the most, I understand their use cases and where there are better choices, but the best choice -- for me -- is the one(s) I know and there's plenty of jobs writing code in those languages.

Not the first Macs, the work-in-progress Lisas they used for user research https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?story=Do_It.txt:

“Starting in the summer of 1981, Larry organized a series of user tests of the nascent Lisa software, recruiting friends and family to try out the software for the first time, while being observed by the Apple designers who recorded their reaction.

[…]

Finally, the team noticed one user that was particularly flummoxed by the dialog box, who even seemed to be getting a bit angry. The moderator interrupted the test and asked him what the problem was. He replied, "I'm not a dolt, why is the software calling me a dolt?"

It turns out he wasn't noticing the space between the 'o' and the 'I' in 'Do It'; in the sans-serif system font we were using, a capital 'I' looked very much like a lower case 'l', so he was reading 'Do It' as 'Dolt' and was therefore kind of offended.

After a bit of consideration, we switched the positive confirmation button label to 'OK' (which was initially avoided, because we thought it was too colloquial), and from that point on people seemed to have fewer problems.”

There is incentive, but they don't realize it. I know that online ads are often enough scams, so I won't buy anything from those ads. I do have to take effort to ensure that they don't effect me anyway (hint from basic psychology: they do, but I can make that effect less). If they did some work to ensure ads were not scams - I've seen ads for a number of interesting things that I intentionally did not buy because odds it was a scam was too high.
it explains why typically markets with fewer players have higher margins. This is why competition is good (and also why the government has whole departments to consider whether mergers in sparse markets will hurt consumers)
It may be extreme, but I think we need to pass legislation to make advertising networks civilly liable for fraud facilitated by their services. Google will change its tune quickly when it's their wallet on the line. As a bonus, this also provides a restitution path for victims (most of these frauds are run overseas, so the perpetrators are out of reach of the justice system).
On my 1080p phone I set the resolution to 4k because 4k + downscaling makes for much better video quality than the butchered blur of pixels that Youtube's 1080p encoder produces.

I would've preferred a higher bitrate 1080p stream, but Youtube only offers that on a limited amount of videos (assuming you have Premium of course).

I can't wait for the lawsuits over who pays to repair a feature that failed caused a car to be un-safe/un-drivable and was never subscribed to.
This tracks roughly with the 4 categories of unknown and know, as in the Rumsfeldian "unknown unknowns". To me the most interesting is the "unknown knowns", those ephemeral things you know but don't consciously think about that knowledge until it's pointed out, like the ability of native language speakers to stack adjectives in just the right order (e.g. "big old yellow ball"). For most people this is one of our unconscious competences, though I'm not sure it ever passed through a period of conscious effort to get there.
Easiest calibration: if the feature is already present to the client, requires ONLY pushing a secret button or sending a special one time request, but doesn't require any ongoing http requests or unpaid maintenance on provider side, then it should be free. Like cabin heating or snow chain deployers.

Theft.. it's the process of the government employees literally stealing from citizens. If people want their money back, it's off to the labyrinthine constructs meant entirely, to waste someone's time and money and dissuade them from pursuing it.

While I realize you're simply defining the term, I believe, in a more accurate summation.
> It's a generalization, there's always occasional exception to the rule

The point is it’s not a rule. It’s a meme that results from misunderstanding the bureaucratic imperative and oversimplifying into a monolith the complexity of politics and power competition.
Okay, but why?
Why do I have to dig so far down into this thread before finding someone with an informed position based in actual history of cities? Everything else I'm seeing is coming from a standpoint that screams of a sheltered position separated from the realities of the city and a society that fails to provide a dignified existence for these people. I have seen no mention of the fact that america has the most homeless and undernourishment for any developed country, or three times as many empty homes as there are homeless. Or that we subsidize the lifestyle of these suburban dwellers by exhausting municipal budgets just repairing the sewer lines that serve neighborhoods that are 1/5th or less the density of the city. Just a long stream of "this looks bad, I don't like looking at it, we should just push the problem outward."

Portland is the only city in the country that is taking as aggressive an approach towards decriminalizing and formalizing encampments, and it shouldn't be surprising that it is experiencing visible failures this early on, or an indictment of those policies.
I’ll add another inconvenient truth that I’ve realized. You can copy every law and policy that’s working so well in some other (Scandinavian) place and have it still fail horribly. That’s because it was never the laws that were working, but the society and culture as a whole. You can’t bring good laws to a place with a disintegrating social fabric and expect the same results.
I've used Preact in production, but if you're using modern Next.js with tree-shaking and don't care about bundle size, you can ignore Preact entirely.
Repeat "freedom of speech" enough times, and it stops having its meaning.

So when the authoritarians come to power, you can scream "freedom of speech" all you want - no one will care.

It's a brilliant tactic. It worked in the other direction with "fake news".

Used to mean "actual made up news, usually from Russian proxy 'news' sites". Now the term is completely void of meaning.
