Came here to say this. YNAB is awesome.
Our OKRs are being dictated to us from several levels of management above us, who don't really understand what we even do. I know how it should work, but it's not the reality I currently live in, which is all part of the demotivation.
I haven't met any techie so far not being in LI. Otherwise for the occasional driver or plumber I'd just get their number on the spot (if not already having it from their site). Worked fine for me for decades.
I think it's perhaps better to abandon ideas about going at high relativistic speeds to bridge large distances.

There's a more practical idea in nature: become a seed. It's how living things traverse vast distances and overcome intractable resource constraints during transit.

Compact oneself into an inert crystalized form, aim rocket, launch, wait. All you've gotta do is prevent chemical/structural breakdown for a few millennia or eons. Upon arrival to destination, have a machine turn-on and reconstitute the body and voila, you're there, all refreshed and ready to explore and virtually no time has passed.

Of course to do that one would have had to master biology, or maybe skip biology entirely and opt to copy oneself into a machine format, but that is likely easier than travelling at a sizeable fraction of c?
Yeah, it is really weird. TBH, I expected them to ship without "FSD", but was really surprised to see that even basic AP hasn't been enabled.

I think it is because of the significantly different vehicle size and camera position.
Never ever. Humans are idiots. If you build machines like humans you will get idiotic machines. Machines need to do things exactly right and not almost right or mostly right. Current AI trends will not create better machines, just more idiotic machines. Those idiotic machines will be sufficient to impress idiots, but they will not help to do things exactly right. Automated theorem proving is the only way to build better machines.

Give them something to do that normally doesn't get done. I could think of them building trails and huts in national parks like the CCC did in the 30s. Or other charitable things. Them working for cheap for profitable corporations is a massive market distortion which costs other non-imprisoned people their jobs.
What CA laws do the other (presumably most or all) states pass?

Some CA laws only have an effect outside California because the state has so many people (with money). So if you are designing a physical product to sell, it is cheaper to just make one that complies with California.
I've worked with many talented folks in govt. Fortune 500 and startups like to poach talent from my organization on a regular basis - they are regularly grabbing a significant % of our top talent and offering > 200% increases in compensation. I think more of the challenges of the govt revolve around continuing resolutions, and the ever shrinking discretionary budget.

Some protections for government personnel exist because of the challenges of working across administrations. As a non-political career civil servant you have to be very willing to work on someone with an R or D after their name's key priorities in order to excel. Having a non-partisan approach towards professional work is a big thing. Despite being a libertarian I eagerly supported Potus#44 by volunteering for some of his broadband initiatives.

It is easy to get rid of non-performing government personnel if an adequate paper trail exists. I knew a fed that committed fraud regarding covid19 and he was fired same day by the IG once the investigation concluded.
Used to run data centers for ISPs and such around NoVA.

This was built into the building plan by room, with most rooms going down first and Meet-Me-Rooms + the rooms immediately adjacent where the big iron routers were, being the last to fail. It's been a while but IIRC there weren't any specific by-rack or by system protocols.
The concept is a deliberate scam. Brave removes the legitimate ads from the website owners, and puts their own ads on top. Then presents that as somehow helping website owners.

> I don't have the 16, I have the 13, but I've been impressed. They slots would be cooler if they were hot swappable, but it's generally not been an issue.

I thought all the slots were wired into the XCHI/Thunderbolt hub system, so they should be hot swappable, no? Or maybe my understanding of the system is incorrect.
You're probably right, but the law and reality often seem to be orthogonal.
If you need a privacy.com alternative for the EU, Revolut is a good option. They offer both one-time-use (disposable) cards, as well as normal virtual cards that are valid until revoked. They're not as advanced as privacy.com AFAIK, cards that only work for a single merchant but multiple transactions aren't offered for example, but they're good enough for most purposes.

Eu regulations on card networks make such a service much harder to offer, privacy.com makes money on card fees, which you can't really do here. Such a service would either have to be paid or bundled with other services which you can make money on, which is what Revolut does.
There's no difference in detail for 1080p content.

There absolutely is for 4K content though.

If you're happy with 1080p the Quest is perfectly fine. Not for the AR experience of a screen in your living room, but for a VR experience watching a floating screen in space.
Boeing's Next Crisis: Aerospace Workers Demanding 40% Pay Raise
The comments in that thread make me feel like they actually read the article.
A resale market is on our roadmap, but in the meantime we’ve seen the secondary market popping up on our community forum, a subreddit, and our Discord. We definitely agree that it’s beneficial to have an dedicated marketplace for this though, especially as the number of Framework Laptops and upgraded Mainboards continues to increase pretty substantially each year.
The productivity targets are always increasing, but real productivity obviously can't. That creates a pressure to meet the goals through fraud.

Stakhanovite is the most benign fraud (pooling productivity). There was a Microsoft engineer that outsourced his job to several engineers in India. I bet he seemed very productive.

There are less benign frauds. Boeing and their suppliers let quality slip. Wells Fargo met account opening goals by opening accounts without asking the customer.

I'm very curious what focal length they're actually targeting here. I figured they'd put the image at infinity or even ever so slightly past, but the fact they're selling "reader" lenses for it makes me concerned that this isn't the case.

Related: I've had success over the past few years purposefully correcting my computer monitor to be at ~infinity focal distance (EndMyopia method). The idea of using AVP to achieve this focal distance consistently (whereas in real life it depends on careful head placement compared to monitor) is quite tantalizing, though the lens pricing is pretty obsurd.
Definitely. Hootsuite is the one I’m familiar with but it’s targeted more at agencies or larger content creators and is priced for that.

Hypersonic missiles are different. I think the idea with those is whether they have a warhead or not they come in so fast you can't possibly shoot them down. The US, Russia, and China are all either confirmed or rumored to have hypersonic delivery systems like this.

The "rods from God" concept is the idea of creating an artificial meteorite as a weapon that comes in from space. These may or may not already exist, but if they do they'd be secret and would probably violate some treaties.

Powershell has some cool things, but it's a disaster when it comes to usability.
> but it's not a physical barrier

AVP is a V1 product, but it’s already clear that Apple understands this and is interested in solving it. It has the best pass through of any VR headset, with reviewers able to do real-time tasks like playing ping pong or playing catch. And it has a screen on the outside that displays some weird virtualized version of your eyes to try to pass through in the opposite direction. And, lastly, in has a “persona” which it can use to make you seem like your not using AVP in FaceTime as much as is possible.

These are, mostly, janky attempts to solve the problem, but it’s easy to imagine them getting more refined over time. It’s easy to imagine that someone walking down the street wearing future versions will be able to make eye contact with other people and will appear as their persona to other AVP wearers rather than someone wearing a headset, though likely with some green aura that’s only blue for wearers of other copycat headsets (there’s no way that Apple isn’t carrying their green bubble social stigma into the spatial computing market). All the building blocks are there for that physical barrier to feel a lot less physical, they’re just really, really raw and don’t quite work yet.
Semiconductor Complex in Mohali Set to Become a Mini Silicon Valley (1983)
I'm more worried about the financing of Bluesky. You have taken VC money, and we all know what that means - growth at all costs.

> The protocol is also designed not to require trust. The network is being "locked open" in a way that would allow it to survive Bluesky becoming evil.

I feel like we have seen this movie play out a few times. There are always way to close things down the road. For example, I can imagine that even with federation there will be a power law of distribution, and there's a high chance that most users will end up on official Bluesky servers. This means that you could one they stop federating, and most users would be backed in a walled garden. Sure, the protocol would be out there in the open, but it wouldn't matter because overnight it would lose most of its users.

I trust that you and the initial team has genuine motivation not to do this. Forgive me for being cynical, but history does reapeat itself.

I think the only antidote against this is regulation, as we're seing now with the DMA in EU that forces WhatsApp and other gate keepers to open their platform to other clients.
100x this. Put very succinctly.
I switched from mint to personal capital years ago and I couldn't be happier. The UI is so much more responsive and the site is more reliable. The design is a lot better too.

Nor do the US, but most legal impositions (no accounts under 13 years, dmca, etc) get replicated around the world because services want to work in the US market.

Your best bet is to register your own domain. Preferably with an unrestricted generic TLD like .com or .net as you may lose the right for a specific TLD at some point, for example if you are using your country TLD and you move.

What is less certain is: will the service still work and will the email pass the spam filters?
See? That’s the kind of thing I’m talking about.

Imagine me saying a US law applies to someone in Prague because the US law said it did. I’d be rightfully laughed at.
At that point, any reply back from the original sender just proves them to be legitimate (ie. able to receive messages on the originator phone number, so not spoofing it).

The comic on this post is a whole lot of mess. Talking about moderation? Talking about "what if I want to leave"? Those sound like (1) work for me, and (2) why would I want to leave if it's so great?

Uggh. And the fragmentation into silos continues.
This doesn't really comport with the information in the piece:

- Sharma wanted the money that Zac represented he had.

- Sharma remarked to Shamji (before the events) that Zac, having involved himself with them, was not allowed to run away.

- Zac was thinking (before the events) of entering witness protection.

All indications are that nothing special happened that night; the situation had already gone bad. Why postulate a comedy of errors?
>Prisoners should be denied as much freedom as is necessary to protect the rest of society and no more.

I think many of those prisoners are already denied far more freedoms that necessary to keep them safe, so would that mean they are already worse off? The added labor is even worse, but I don't find that as the tipping point of good to bad yet a lot of the past discussion I've seen on if prison is slavery or not does seem to treat it as the tipping point. Getting past how we are naming things, my disagreement is that forced labor isn't what tips us from having a just prison system to an unjust one, and instead that we are mostly already over that tipping point even without forced labor being included.
Dont talk about salary with recruiter. Demand to discuss your salary with person that is hiring you. They are looking to hire people, they have the say who gets hired and they decide on the number.

Talk to them not man in the middle that has no power. And person that will try everything to lowball you.
Yeah the VW/Ferrari analogy is good, because as two cars they do essentially the same thing.

Also I think the group of people who are shelling out $4k for the AVR are going to be heavily biased to justify the expense. I don't think there's a $3000 difference between the two devices. Maybe $500.
Poetry is a step up from plain pip but it's not complete either. I recommend switching to PDM. PDM follows more Python standards and is faster too.

Bluesky is in good financial shape for quite some time based on existing funding. And we're also working hard to be sustainable, which we believe is entirely feasible given our small team. But we're also ensuring that everything required to make the network sustainable over time is completely open.

I won't call the bearded Pashinyan "a girlfriend", but it is the other way around:

Armenia basically tell Russia they break up with them to join another relationship. However, the other side does not look like they want Armenia. No breakup exchange of personal effects happens. In the end, Russia lingers there to see what happens and is not closing the door yet. Again, it is a bad analogy because even the closest country to country relations are not monogamous.

The reason of why the breakup is discussed: your bearded girlfriend taunted another girl (with a mustache) and got serious bruises in return. Now she thinks you should've fought with that another girl instead of her doing so. Your girlfriend was the cause of the fight but you do think the mustached one has overreacted.
The fact companies and people can make money of prisoners created an incentive to imprison more people for longer. That’s the problem.

An interesting piece of tech history, with similarities to India's attempts at rebuilding Fab capabilities today.

A lot of the alumni of this fab ended up working at TI, Qualcomm, Broadcom, Sandisk, Samsung, and Intel or becoming faculty at UC Irvine, UC San Diego, UCLA, UT Dallas, and UT Austin.

>folks will pretend the actual Fediverse doesn't exist

What is "the actual Fediverse"? Because the Mastodon network is quite fragmented. misskey.io (442k users) has limited federation with mastodon.social (252k active users). pawoo.net (34k active users) on the other hand is blacklisted by mastodon.social. And Threads isn't really federating properly yet, but how much of the Fediverse is just going to blacklist Threads and its supposed 130 million MAU?
Still more secure than using a browser on Windows, I guess. If that's acceptable, an outdated version or a custom ROM should be even more acceptable. Devs can also selectively disable features that they might deem too insecure.
Point number three is critically important and no matter how many nerds complain it is not activity pub or some crypto thing, the company focus on delivering a product which is viable to use by normies is awesome.
I remember that before the whole fiasco of a sale Twitter was a place where I could follow interesting tech people. These days those people have left for Mastodon etc. (or stopped posting entirely) and were replaced with hoards of $8 spammers whose only interest is to push inflammatory content to generate the most views and get paid for it.
Sure, they created proprietary CPUs and invented a proprietary language to run on them; prevented as much open source or cross-platform work as possible; and cornered the AI market.

Now, they're extracting 50% of what people are paying in profit. Great!

And, what, you're their defender? I hope you have shares, or else, you've been hoodwinked.

In the "free" market, be assured, you're the loser not the winner. /We/ only win when there's sufficient competition, and clearly, there isnt.
