Windows mixed reality was particularly half-hearted for a Microsoft effort or maybe it’s just another indication of how Microsoft and its hardware partners are at best frenemies. (Microsoft’s partners can never seem to quite say ‘no’ but they sure can sabotage anything new Microsoft tries to do.)

There were the hololens devices which were expensive and unobtainable to many, then there were the dollar store VR headsets and nothing in between. Meanwhile, Steam and Oculus were running more successful ‘stores’ of VR applications which somebody might want to use.

Prohibiting someone from competing with you is not at all the same as forcing them to work for you. Furthermore, if an employee doesn’t want to be subject to a noncompete agreement, they could just…not work there? Also, non-competes don’t prohibit working anywhere else.

Let me quickly ask you if Norwegians are seeing the same rates of Tesla mishaps as the rest of the world ( or atleast North America )?

If you happened to be unaware all of these Tesla-skeptics ( atleast this latest round of skeptics ) are being buoyed by this Reuters report about major problems Tesla owners have faced off late. One describing a new owner's experience with his spanking new Tesla : "The vehicle’s front-right suspension had collapsed, and parts of the car loudly scraped the road as it came to a stop."

Tesla blamed drivers for failures of parts it long knew were defective

The surplus in summer during noon isn't useless bit rather means that during morning and early evening we need less fossils. This is the main point of all of this, remember?

A surplus also leads to reduced prices which enables novel uses such as charging an electric vehicle for very little money. This replaces CO2.

The market will be clever to profit from the available cheap electricity.

The problem is more that printed magazines are not searchable, and having a giant pile of paper in boxes in the attic, stuffed somewhere behind that awful vase and that camping equipment I haven't touched since the late 1990s, simply doesn't compare to typing a few keywords prefixed with `insite:DOMAIN` into a search bar, and getting really close to what I am looking for in an instant, and being able to bookmark thousands of articles (also searchable) in silica.
It is relevant if the cause of the slowness is due to the framework rather than the language itself.

The performance can vary drastically depending on which Ruby framework you use, so it's not due to the language but the upper layer instead.

Note, even if Rails is the most popular framework, there is still other alternatives which makes it even more relevant to the performance impact.
This is the kind of review that's pointless. Valve didn't market the new version as some major change or major update. It was quite the opposite, they were were quite clear that the real change was the OLED screen. Yes there are lots of other small tweaks here and there, and some of the internals are optimized in ways that mostly don't impact the users experience.

So, anyone who bought this and was underwhelmed by it, is too ignorant of a person to publish a fair review because they clearly didn't read Valve's marketing material. I have the original and I ordered the OLED limited edition the day it was released. It was exactly as I expected it to be based on the promotional materials that were provided. I was not disappointed or underwhelmed in any way because I have the ability to read and comprehend and Valve's marketing department was very straightforward about what I was getting.

Some important extra context on these fines.

1. They apply to only to messaging gateways for sending mass messaging campaigns, not consumers.

2. This is part of a long running industry process (since at least 2020) for reducing the abuse of SMS messaging in U.S. for the purposes of spam and phishing.

3. T-Mobiles “Code of Conduct” has existed since November 2020.

4. These new fines are just the latest set of fines for abusing messaging services. Since 2020 a number of fines have been introduced, but they’ve focused initially on simple technical violations (sending mass messages without properly registering your source number, or properly registering your campaign).

5. Reading around, it seems industry players are expecting these violations to be detected via customer complaints, rather than actual scanning messages. It seems the networks don’t have the infrastructure or the interest is mass scanning messages. But if they see unusual levels of complaints from customers, associated with a specific gateway or campaign, then they’ll manually review customer complaints, associated messages and issue the appropriate fines to originating gateway.

TL;DR if you’re not mass sending SMS via A2P (application to person) platforms, this has zero impact on. Except you should start getting less spam.

They would get no more new debt.

It is revolving system. Old debt is paid with new debt and then even more debt is taken for consumption. If this stops, it means no one would loan again. They would trade in alternative ways. Or then the rates must go up to match the risk premium of not getting principal back.

End result is probably starting to print money. Which then will just lead to even higher rates to get the return.

We are not directly a tmobile customer. We use Twilio. Our relationship with Tmobile is mediated by them. But ultimately we are a customer, and this is not how you treat customers.

We operate numbers for thousands of of businesses. They sell cbd products as some tiny percentage of their business (hell, you can get cbd at convenience stores now). We can ban the word cbd, but we can't stop evasion. And the carriers are not cooperative about sharing techniques for detecting illegal content.

And again, the verbiage saying we can't send content that is illegal in a single state has never been communicated before. As I just stated, the abortion example makes it clear that this is a big problem. It is an unreasonably broad restriction.

These fines are excessive in any case.

What I'm going to recommend to my company is dropping all our tmobile numbers and to stop sending to tmobile customers, while we continue to explore non-sms alternatives for direct messaging.

Merry Christmas Everyone! Reflecting on the past few years, I've faced some of life's toughest challenges. In 2020, we lost my father-in-law to Multiple Myeloma, a difficult time for our family. The following year, my dad's battle with Pancreatic Cancer came to an end, leaving us with the task of closing his business and resolving financial matters. Then, in November 2022, my mom was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. After enduring multiple rounds of chemotherapy, I'm grateful to say she's doing much better.

Through these hardships, I've learned about strength, resilience, and the importance of true friends who have your back. I also learned that I am strong and can deal with difficult hardships. As I look forward to 2024, I'm hopeful for a return to normalcy and better health. Here's to a year of healing, growth, and brighter days ahead.
What makes you think they’re not reporting stuff to cops? These are fines sent to message aggregators and gateways. Providers like Twilio who have thousands of different customers, and provide a simple on ramp to sending SMS into mobile network infrastructure.

Terminating those relationships after a single violation would simple result in the eradication of all SMS sending services, except physical mobiles phones.
> Tesla isn't SV. For every Tesla there is a Facebook

Totally agree. But looking at specifics, and dissecting why they work or do not, helps suss out patterns.

For example, Tesla’s benefits are amplified—perhaps even characterised—by their ecosystem effect. That doesn’t happen when you have a quasi-monopoly like Facebook. On the other hand, their downsides are largely a function of lying. That’s common across Silicon Valley, and may similarly have a systematic treatment. (Or, at least, if you’re replicating the model, consider removing that in your iteration.)

It all comes back to revenue: Android has twice the market share but users are about as third as likely to pay for apps / in-app purchases so the market is a lot more even than it might seem. I don’t think that’s because android users are significantly more inclined towards piracy but rather that there are really two groups, and the ones who bought the cheapest phone they could find contribute market share only for free apps.

I stopped supporting AMD when I bought an AMD card, and they discontinued support a few months later. If AMD sends me an MI300X for free, I'll make sure my software is compatible. Otherwise, if you want to run my stuff, you need Nvidia (or, hopefully soon, Intel).

(Note: I know they never will. This story, multiplied by the number of people building stuff now, is why I'm bearish on AMD and bullish on competitors. This would be a very nice card -- 192GB is sexy -- but I just get headaches thinking about compatibility, software, and drivers issues. To quote Steve Balmer, what AMD is missing is: "Developers, developers, developers." That's not a small hole to dig out of.)
Just like many proponents of a 2-party state are happy to explain their advantages over a 1-party state but strangely incurious about the opportunity cost they incur by not investigating an N>2-party state, the advantage of monotheism over animism is widely held to be a reduction in the number of intentional agents, but reducing the number of intentional agents by one more* is strangely anathema.

Here you go: https://www.cbo.gov/publication/58946.

If we do nothing, “the deficit amounts to 5.3 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2023, swells to 6.1 percent of GDP in 2024 and 2025, and then declines in the two years that follow. After 2027, deficits increase again, reaching 6.9 percent of GDP in 2033.” It becomes problematic around 2050, when net interest starts approaching 8% of GDP, but that is again if we do nothing (or blow the purse).
It's much easier to not exist than to exist.

Yes, this can be used as a document manager for those purposes, with selected plugins (which ones are based on preference; the list is not too long [1]). It now has the ability open and annotate PDFs, although for a long time it did not. There are additional notetaking plugins.

It doesn't have all the features of traditional document managers, but it will be far better for handling annotations.

> the main caveat regarding designated initializer usage is that initialized members must appear in declaration order

I hate this about C++! In C you can initialize them in any order, and this allowed us to write nbdkit plugins in a very natural way:

static struct nbdkit_plugin plugin = {
.name = "myplugin",
.open = myplugin_open,
.get_size = myplugin_get_size,
.pread = myplugin_pread,
.pwrite = myplugin_pwrite,
/* etc */
};

where the order is not related to the order the fields appear in the struct (that has to be maintained for ABI reasons), and not all fields need to appear (the others are initialized with 0/NULL).

For C++ we have to do this mess:
