Good reasons for the developers, not so much for the end users.
I think you're confusing their goal. It's not that they have a problem with people working remotely on tourist visas, it's that they want them to do it for longer as it brings economic benefit to the country.

If they disliked the idea they wouldn't be creating new visas for the purpose, since that only makes it more prevalent and normalized.
To start with, Boeing benefitted from massive amounts of government contracts during their history, which provided much of the money they "dumped into airplanes".

Secondly, we now see a company whose products have severe safety defects due to the influence of cost-cutting managers, more concerned with profits than quality.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to check this, that's very useful info.

Although the reason I haven't set 20% as the default, is because I'm concerned this may create too many situations where guessing would be required. So I'd need to have the solver in place. So thank you for the link as well.

Although now, I'm wondering if the solver can be smart enough to allow situations like this, where finding how to progress isn't quite obvious, like this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39234686
Users flagged them. We can only guess why users flag things, but in this case it might have been the desire to avoid gender flamewar hell, which is mostly always the same and which HN has had more than enough of. Also, one of the submissions was paywalled (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39104886), while the other was just the tweet of a graphic.

We sometimes turn flags off on such submissions, assuming that the article is substantive enough to have a chance at supporting a thoughtful discussion; and also assuming that the topic hasn't been discussed recently. But neither of those particular submissions was likely to be such a solid foundation.

It doesn't look like https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00169862231175831, the paper, has been submitted yet. That one might work, if you or someone wants to try submitting it.
While you argue against transparency, keep in mind that you are doing it in full public view.
Forgive my ignorance but why is this preferable to a big ZFS pool?
One ancient form of democracy was to draw lots and the unlucky winners had to go and be the senate for a term. I kind of like it! Like jury duty, but you have to run the country. It can work if you draw enough lots.
I make less. It sucks.
Governments shouldn't be able to prosecute people with secret evidence and secret processes in secret locations. You can keep your classified materials secret or you can prosecute someone, but you shouldn't be able to do both. Anything else is categorically incompatible with the liberal democratic principles of accountable government.

As it's said, "Put up, or shut up."
There are now at least five major cloud providers so something tells me it's not a 'bolt of lightning idea' and it's actually rather easy with some funding behind you.
Hrmn. I might ask the same question in reverse.

What moral justification is there for them to hoard absurd sums of money, particularly when we have folks without homes and kids in poverty?
Recapping American jurisprudence in 2024: anyone can file a suit in order to get a jurist to draw a conclusion of chemistry. Nobody has standing to get a jurist to draw a conclusion about matters of law, such as whether their rights to vote have been violated.
My understanding of the Tesla EPS system (this is also a guess, based on discussion observed between Comma 3X devs working on Tesla integration) is that there's not a separate mode it operates in while under FSD is enabled. That's in part how the safety of the EPS is validated independent of the LKAS - driver should always be able to easily overpower it. Contrast this with other car models with a "parking mode" for their EPS, which operate under greatly increased torque limits.

Clearly something is going wrong if drivers have to fight hard against the EPS, but FSD shouldn't be able to do anything that a typical LKAS can't either, safety guardrails included.

(also, thanks for your work on solvespace, great piece of software)
Sure, but so far so good. The only "spam" call I get is people trying to get ahold of the previous owner of the phone number, but I find that far less annoying than marketing robo calls.
You are presupposing that such things would not have happened if the resource allocation decisions made by the wealthy had been made via some other (more democratic) means.

There's not really much evidence to support that claim (though to be fair, not much evidence to refute it either).
Can you point me to a study showing definitive harm due to bioaccumulation of expected exposure levels? EPAs own page cleverly dodges the issue by saying (1) it can accumulate and (2) high exposure levels can cause harm. But the exposure levels we've seen in the studies evidencing harm are thousands of times higher than any observed bioaccumulation. For me to be concerned about environmental exposure, I'm going to actually need to see some science showing somebody was harmed given the range of expected exposure mechanisms and expected exposure levels.
SeaweedFS does the thing: I've used it to store billions of medium-sized XML documents, image thumbnails, PDF files, etc. It fills the gap between "databases" (broadly defined; maybe you can do few-tens-KByte docs but stretching things) and "filesystems" (hard/inefficient in reality to push beyond tens/hundreds of millions of objects; yes I know it is possible with tuning, etc, but SeaweedFS is better-suited).

The docs and operational tooling feel a bit janky at first, but they get the job done, and the whole project is surprisingly feature-rich. I've dealt with basic power-outages, hardware-caused data corruption (cheap old SSDs), etc, and it was possible to recover.

In some ways I feel like the surprising thing is that there is such a gap in open source S3 API blob stores. Minio is very simple and great, but is one-file-per-object on disk (great for maybe 90% of use-cases, but not billions of thumbnails). Ceph et al are quite complex. There are a bunch of almost-sort-kinda solutions like base64-encoded bytes in HBase/postgresql/etc, or chunking (like MongoDB), but really you just want to concatenate the bytes like a .tar file, and index in with range requests.

The Wayback Machine's WARC files plus CDX (index files with offset/range) is pretty close.
Let folks keep their wine and art collections. Limits need to be placed on ownership of productive assets.

Employee, consumer, or even municipal ownership of firms would be a natural consequence of such a limit. No other way to offload assets fast enough, especially since the usual sources of capital would be under the same limits.
Anything statically linked to the C library will also have direct syscalls in the binary.
I have also googled this, and this does not reliably work - especially for things that aren't TV shows, such as videos from YouTube channels or music videos.

This giving codenames to projects thing seemed so endearing when I was working in a team and company of 10, but now that I’m working in a team of 100, and an org of 2000, it’s so extremely aggravating.
I may have misunderstood, but I'm pretty sure APE is not a "binary format" per se.

It is a script that can be executed on any system. That script can then LOAD a binary. IIRC the original needed to decode it from base64 before it could be loaded.

So... it's an executable binary loader
Blade & Sorcery was worth the price of VR for me, at least. A couple mods and suddenly you're in the best Jedi simulator ever made. It's also the only way to play DCS or any racing game now. No going back.
Explain how to reconcile these two things:

“ if some minerals are discovered on your heretofore low value land”

And

“ creating millions of dollars worth of goods or services”

Where was the act of creation that led to the increase of the value?

How did the land to acquire become yours?

Most likely you didn’t discover the land, or do anything to find the materials (hiring people to do labor) so there’s no reason to think you should receive anything
Specifically, this is how it works.

Are Elon’s rocket and car company infringing on your well-being? What about the pensioners holding Tesla shares? Are they stifling your ability to come up with some funds for the public good?
The original claim was:

> On a preemptive OS, all multitasking with (non-CPU) contended resources is, to a certain extent, cooperative

This just isn't correct.
> I've been delaying sharing a complete list of my personal work for about 10 years

Can relate. I think the problematic word is "complete"; it's a kind of perfect. Initially aim at incomplete/minimal, then build.
Well, what I'm not ok doing is arguing silly points steeped in what-about-isms. There are far more entertaining ways to waste time.

> Agency documents say drivers are reporting loss of steering control, often accompanied by messages showing that power assisted steering has been reduced or disabled. Some complained of an inability to turn the steering wheel, while others said it required more effort.

This is an area where the rampant scientism really bugs me... and everyone is polarized politically without looking at the actual evidence.

I looked into the peer reviewed evidence myself when deciding if I should give my kid fluoridated water, and it is pretty clear that high doses of fluoride do cause intellectual impairment, among other problems. The approximate dose where this effect likely just begins to occur is right around where municipal water systems that add fluoride target, but the data is unclear.

Dismissing this possibility as crazy (as it usually is) seems really ignorant. The most plausible explanation is that current levels likely do cause some small level of intellectual impairment in at least some portion people.

I suppose some people would say all of the workers who manufactured the glue and binding for the books and harvest the trees that constitute the books, and the truck drivers and ship captains who sent her books around the world. The causality is beyond me, but if I could steel man someone on that side of the argument, I think it’s that
Understood, but it also get clicks, especially for a company as loathed as Tesla.

Would this be useful to Shopify Shop Owners, those who buy 3rd party/additional apps on the shopify app store (or any similar such services, like an etsy store)?

Can this be used as a pen-testing tool to Highlight-TraceRt through a {target url}?

Yeah, though what benefits would surmise a Shopify Shop Keeper could get from your service, or do you think this is a tool that Shopify Corporate should be using on their hosting infra?
I'm old enough to remember what AltaVista search and the rest were like before Google.

It feels exactly like that today.

Google didn't need to improve much over the years to stay in business; they only needed to keep ahead of the SEO spammers. They did that for a while. But now we have SundarGoogle which expended active energy getting worse and worse and worse.

Google is done.
There is no science connecting Goretex -- even direct skin application of Goretex over long periods of time -- with any harm whatsoever. The shrill nature of the commentary around PFAS (which by some definitions doesn't even include PTFE) is wild to me.
Approximately no one commenting here has read the book; it's only been out for a day, and while I'm a big fan of "actually read the fucking article before commenting", expecting people to purchase and read an entire book before commenting is a bit much.

IMHO this is a bad submission; not because the book or the premise of it is good or bad, but because all most of us can do is discus the title and (very) brief premise.

Yes but I assume that people do not usually get "addicted" to sending emails, and that feature seems more oriented towards making sense one did not forget sth or clicked send by mistake (has happened to me). What we talk about would be more relevant in social media, both in passively consuming and in participating more actively.
They literally declared that the only harms are to enterprise and are trivial.

>For what it's worth, depending on the harms, a sudden total ban is not out of the question as being beneficial to humanity as a whole.

Total ban should be considered against harms.

>It would just be disruptive to enterprise, boo hoo.

Harms are trivial because they are to enterprise.

>We don't need to always treat bad actors with kid gloves.

Implying that enterprises are bad actors, and deserve more harms.
no, it literally says that they do not have a conclusion. You are trying to read it differently because you have an agenda. Please do science instead.
>Is this legal?

In my limited experience, if your clients are asking if its legal, there's going to be a minefield of ethical and regulatory problems involved...
As it turns out, the definition of PFAS is hotly contested, with those advocating for increased regulation often also advocating for a very broad definition. https://www.bu.edu/sph/news/articles/2022/is-there-a-right-d...
Congratulations on your accomplishment.

Just buy what you can afford and get on with life.

Because what you need is experience. Then you will have a better understanding of what actually matters.

I have nothing against Framework laptops, but I think they are suboptimal for a first laptop because they add complexity and over the past thirty years I personally have never seen anyone benefit from buying bespoke upgradable hardware. I am sure someone has, but sticking more memory, more storage and more graphics in a generic box is the only thing I’ve seen work…

…ok so maybe I have a bit of bias against Framework. But a new computer is almost always a better option after a few years than niche upgrade hardware for a niche product.

Anyway, old macs are fine but the hard part is finding a good one that will just work out of the box and will stay working.

That’s true of all used computers in general and laptops in particular.

Someone got rid of them for a reason and unless you know someone or pay a premium price you that reason may mean you are dealing with difficulty, faults, and/or missing components.

Computers are cattle, not pets and a cheap new Windows box is the simplest thing that might work. Maybe a base Thinkpad (that’s the most recent new computer I bought and it’s more than good enough).

Just put some stickers on it to make it look cool. And install Linux if that’s what you know (but running Windows is also the simplest thing that might work).

The future where you can indulge in technical whims is still ahead of you. And no matter what computer you buy you will still have the same heaps of hard work to do.

Good luck.
Almost as good of a deal as those $700 Mac Pro wheels!
Not the only reason, but we have a distributed workload so HTTP is a better protocol than NFS for our use case.
Having owned a Quest 2, I think Apple has as shot at this, because I think most of these devices are essentially PC Monitors. Apple is the first company that has put a full on laptop chip into the device and unlike Facebook, they control a major desktop operating system, so it will likely be able to run full applications like Word, Excel, and a full Browser and more apps are going to easily be able to port.

Instead of building a wall full of monitors, I think running on the entirely on device makes a lot more sense. Facebook just can’t pull it off, because they don’t have a full operating system like OSX to pull from, but they were right to but the processor in the headset.
Mozilla hasn't a leg to stand on. And it can eat it regarding Pocket and new 'enabled' ad related settings, when last I changed anything, was to disable them all. Sneaky, annoying, every company does it. It makes me hate my computer. I look at the software trying to trick me and I resent it.

I resent computing when these companies think they know better than what I want.
Tesla Battles to Maintain Market Share in Growing EV Industry

OK, so this is definitely something to follow up on. But also, that other recall for the warning lights being too small that the article mentions really caught my eye. Seems like Tesla failed the brown M&M test[1] on that one.

Because, someone doesn't just create millions of dollars of value, teams of people do. And in the current system someone does get to choose where to cut the "sandwich" and they get to choose which side they take. And with negligible repercussion, they choose the largest portion.

They started fluoridating the water in 1946.

GP said electricity consumption, not energy. While it's true that EVs use less energy (in a raw material/CO2 sense), they clearly use more grid-supplied electricity, and grid capacity needs to be built to meet that demand.
They want it for pr0n! Just like they wanted VCRs for pr0n.

Super tangential but this documentary is about pr0n going mainstream

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0418753/

In it they point out in the 70s how the movie the documentary is about was a huge public topic of discussion. They show Phil Donahue actually telling people to go see it (or at least I remember that in my memory. If it wasn't him it was some other household name). Eventually the prudes push back and effectively get it banned from lots of places but the VCR comes out and the prudes lose.

VR pr0n is pretty amazing. It's not perfect because there's only so many things that make sense first person. But, when someone gets up close and breaths on you your brain tells you you felt something even though you know that's impossible. If you saw it and didn't find it compelling I'd suggest you ask around for some better examples.

Then there's apps like Virt-A-Mate that take to the next level by being real 3D (Game tech) instead of recorded video. They're not perfect. They have bugs. They run too slow sometimes. But, unlike video, you can change any character to anything you want. That's only going to get better. Apple might ban it but eventually it will be a reason lots of people want VR/AR

Friends at Meta already tell me their metrics say the #1 use of VR is pr0n. (no different than the internet itself.

The corollary is that everyone is an idiot until they win, or quit. Then they're either winners or quitters.
The thing which frustrates me the most is that consumers today have too many options; more than they need. Every genuine problem which humans had, has been solved decades ago. The problems which people are solving today are things that people want but don't need.

What the majority of people need is:

- Financial independence.

- Genuine social relationships.

- A sense of community.

Disturbingly, our political and economic system works against all of these things by using our monetary system to artificially create poverty.

We've reached a stage in human development where it doesn't make sense to solve any problem until we've solved the problems above for the majority of people.

That's why I never know what to build. Every project which will attract any money is going to be some band-aid patch. A drug which gives users a temporary high but doesn't benefit them at all in the medium or long term...

Or if the project is a b2b solution, it's just going to be some gimmick to further enslave humanity away from the things they need.

I got into cryptocurrencies because the kinds of communities that it could facilitate are exactly what people need. It was working in the early days, but the powers-that-be wouldn't allow it to continue and they monopolized the sector and now it's all 100% about making quick cash and nothing else.
I still think the headset must be merely a display. Feom your phone or desktop you stream to your vr display. The only way people are going to use vr is when the devices are small. Ideally just like a pair of glasses. Before this happens it's not becoming mainstream

There may be other reasons it’s the way it is, I’m just saying the language choice made 40 years ago is not one of the valid reasons. People do rewrite things, even complicated things, in different languages all the time when there’s sufficient benefit. There have been plenty of other major changes to glibc in that time.
why are you saying pr0n instead of porn? lol
That would be nice and that’s why we first tried MinIO.

But with MinIO and erasure coding a single PUT results in more IOPS and we saw lower performance.

Also, expanding MinIO must be done in increments of your original buildout which is annoying. So if you start with 4 servers and 500TB, they recommend you expand by adding another 4 servers with 500TB at least.
