Yeah.. I didn't get rude. Sometimes coders just have the NotBuiltHere attitude. I think it's something you grow out of.

We can build something, or pull something off the shelf. If it takes x time to build it, and then x time to debug and test and x^(1/0) to maintain it; far better to just add a gem. Even if it's not the absolute best, at least it's easy to understand and if it becomes a problem fix the edges.
The challenge highlighted in the article is that adds are increasing in areas that are harder to avoid such as billboards, hotel rooms, airline seats, ride-hailing apps.
This is damn interesting. All the best!
Exactly. I've used something like this before when writing a lexer and a parser and it was really helpful.
Between the noted erratic behavior on the plane, his self-reported sleep deprivation, and him effectively turning himself in after, it seems very plausible to me that he was either on a bad drug trip or under the control of the Ambien walrus [1], and somehow the Swiss cheese holes [2] lined up perfectly for him to wander onto the jet bridge of the wrong international flight at the exact moment nobody there was paying attention.

Another issue here is not making a distinction between poverty, and people who are near unable function within the system due to drug abuse or mental issues. These are different issues to solve. If you are unable to work due to disability, but otherwise functional in the modern world, then you can work your way through the path to getting back on your feet. What percentage of these people of the homeless? My guess is that the larger problem are those who are on the street due to drugs or mental issues. I don't know what it's like to be on Fentanyl, but some of the people in videos I have found don't seem to be in a state where they're thinking about a place to live.
> What if tomorrow I drop a small computer unit in front of you that has human level intelligence?

I would say the question is not answerable as-is.

First, we have no idea what it even means to say "human level intelligence".

Second, I'm quite certain that a computer unit with such capabilities if it existed, would be alien, not "human". It wouldn't live in our world, and it wouldn't have our senses. To it, the internet would probably be more real than a cat in the same room.

If we have something we can related to, I'm pretty sure we have to build some sort of robot, capable of living in the same environment we do.
You need to be precise about whether it's the pre-Google system or the current one (after they went all-in on Google).
I also own an i4 and I still prefer its navigation system to Google Maps or Tesla. Navigating to chargers works perfectly, and it notifies you in realtime if for some reason it gets occupied.

Yes, Tesla sentry mode is really good, but I really cannot live without a parking front and lateral cameras in the narrow streets of Europe. Specially without a working PDC system.

I’m very happy with my i4, best car I’ve ever owned. And much better that all my Tesla experiences.

>He said he “might have had” a plane ticket to the United States, but was not sure, according to the affidavit. Mr. Ochigava also said he “did not remember how he got on the plane” and “would not explain how or when he got to Copenhagen, or what he was doing there,” the affidavit says. He also “claimed he did not remember how he went through security without a ticket,” it says.

He is either lying or suffering quite a substantial mental health issue. One would presume it wouldn't be too much trouble for investigators to get some more information about the circumstances of this man's arrival.
Positive Cash flow is what makes a company default alive, so it is important to everyone. Peofiability, EBITDA and ao on, live on a different axis. A company can easily be cash negative and profitable or cash positive and loosing money. The latter one is in a better position, a company that is both, profitable and cash positive, is in a great position (e.g. Amazon), one that is neither is actually dead.

Due to tax payments being weird and uneven where I live (Austria) and having a number of other upcoming expenses, and considering moving flats, I wanted to understand what I'd be able to afford (in terms of cashflow) so I created https://whenwillirunoutofmoney.com/ mainly for my own use.

For the record, I am completely against the illegal settlements. Though if you're referring to the current war when you say "terror bombing", I disagree with that description of it.

> Honestly, I have no idea how solve this besides some larger power stepping in.

Honestly, what needs to happen is completely obvious to everyone. The only way peace will happen is if there is a two state solution in which Palestinians get some land (presumably the WB, Gaza, and/or land swaps for existing settlements that are hard to move). And Israel gets some security assurances.

The only problem is that there have been no leaders on either side willing to reach such a deal, or at least, we haven't had leaders on both sides willing to reach a deal at the same time.

It's unfortunate that Epic is never given the goodwill they deserve for this fight. (I still hate their exclusivity deals, but I don't let that poison other aspects)
Lovely, now that there was spotlight on invigilation through push messages, Apple suddenly decided to close that loophole.(it is still better than what google did - nothing)

it's not about societal changes. It's about calculating risk of invention and let me give you an example:

Who do you think can better estimate the risk of engine fire in a Red Bull F1: the chief engineer or Max the driver? It is obviously the creator. And we are talking about invention safety here. VCs and other "tech gurus" cannot comprehend exactly how the system works. Actually the problem is that they think they know how it works when the people that created say there is no way of us knowing and they are black boxes.
> and gone on a different flight, somehow

At every airport I've been to, the entire barrier to entry for various jet bridges is one or two people keeping an eye on the crowd. I can imagine a lot of scenarios where the entryway ends up unattended, even if just for thirty seconds.
You're also a paying customer of one of those services that you're sharing data with. It doesn't automatically mean that they'll be any better, and Tesla has had quite a few privacy-related fuckups, but one is in the business of selling your data, the other isn't. Take it for what it's worth. Lately they've been pushing quite a lot of privacy related things, but it may just be virtue signalling on their part. One feature I really like is the ability to share a destination from Google Maps on my phone to the car and it will instantly route there.

For some strange reason the Spotify app in Tesla doens't have the option to download playlists, it will only buffer ahead and cache things. I've had it happen that it stopped playing because it lost connectivity and I tried to shuffle ahead quite a few times. I think all Teslas come with at least 60GB of internal user accessible storage, you can also expand that by just plugging in a USB-drive in the glovebox. The Tidal app in Tesla does offer offline playlists, and much higher bitrate. I think Tesla is doing their audio engineers a disservice by the atrocious bitrate that they provide through the Spotify and Apple Music app. And Tidal is borderline unusable if you want innovative and ground breaking features like Shuffle, but apparently that is coming this "holiday update".

You don't need to have a "Premium Subscription" to use Spotify or any other streaming service in a Tesla, you just set up a hotspot on your phone and it will automatically connect to it. I've also seen some people connect a mobile hotspot to the glovebox USB-port. Some of them even come with additional storage and things like internal battery so it'll stay connected even when the car powers down the infotainment system. If you have an iPhone it's a little more convoluted, but it's easily sorted out with just using a Shortcut to enable hotspot that fires automatically when it connects to your car.

Tesla does a lot of things very well, and some things just don't make any sense at all. Like when they removed the "repeat playlist" option in Spotify for a year or so. It made impossible to use shuffle, as you'd usually reach the end of the playlist within a couple of shuffles, and it would just change to radio or something. It still supported the option, I could toggle it on in the Spotify app on my phone, they just removed the UI element. Luckily it came back not that long ago.
I think you're thinking of CompuServe and Prodigy, respectively. The lawsuits against them were Cubby, Inc. v. CompuServe, Inc. and Stratton Oakmont, Inc. v. Prodigy Services Co. Those two lawsuits were the motivation for the passage of Section 230.

I think you have a minor detail wrong - Prodigy was found liable for defamation posted by clients, not hate speech - but the broad strokes are right.

The Threat of Soviet Oil (1962)
Yes, that was a very very mistaken plan by Netanyahu and I hope (and think) he will pay for it with this being, finally, the end of his political life.

That said, what would've been your alternative? For Israel to refuse to cooperate at all with Hamas the last fifteen years? To prevent them receiving any outside money from Qatar? To not allow any Gazans to work in Israel?

That's what would've needed to happen to "not reinforce Hamas", and I have a feeling that had Israel done that, it would've received more condemnation.

Apple forces you to use their notification service. At one point, they even tried to force desktop users of Safari to be bound to their notification service instead of being able to use web push notifications, as well.

Apps distributed on the Play Store also have to use Google's notification service.
Exclusivity deals suck but I would redirect more of your anger to greedy storefronts like Steam which take 30% (25% after $10,000,000 in sales) of revenue compared to Epic's 12%.

> That's an argument from authority fallacy.

Right. We should develop all arguments from commonly agreed, basic principles in every discussion. Or you could accept that some of these people have a better understanding, did put forth some arguments, and that it's your turn to rebuke those arguments, or point at arguments which do. Otherwise, you'll have to find somebody to trust.
I also use a QWERTY keyboard and I use a custom keyboard layout that maps alt-a to ä, alt-u to ü, alt-o to ö, alt-s to ß (plus the same for uppercase for the first 3). That works well for me without the need to post-process.

On macOS it's relatively easy to create using a tool called Ukulele (https://software.sil.org/ukelele/). You can also download my layout here: https://alex.kirk.at/USUmlaut.keylayout

Your quote was the final thing I said, and everything I said before is what made me say that.

We're in a situation where we're a tumor growing on Earth. and we see our growth threatens Earth, so the solution is "we need to spread around so we can keep growing even more".

An alternative solution is to control our growth (which doesn't only concern biological reproduction but also economical). Which will give us practically infinite time.

Technically the notion that "we" (homo sapiens) can spread to other planets is nonsense. Whatever we spread to other planets, if anything, won't be human, one way or another. Because a human is bound to its environment.
