First law (inertia) basically states that in the absence of a force, no acceleration can happen (sometimes stated as ‘an object in motion will remain in motion, an object at rest will remain at rest’).

Second law gets more specific, and clarifies that the size of the acceleration is proportional to the size of the force.

Well, they don't _have_ to rent long-term but if the unit is kept unoccupied, then they will be hit with the Empty Homes Tax in Vancouver, for instance. So yeah, they are forcing the landlords hand here.

And yes, I agree the house problem is a supply-vs-demand issue. And this is not addressing the core problem. But in a place with extremely low rent vacancy [2], having units removed from the market for STR isn't helping.

I mean, this may be a good way to take a stance, for someone who deeply cares about a particular issue. But it's also definitely going to result in being fired, from any company. The two things aren't incompatible. Lots of good ways to take a stance have deprived lots of people taking those stances of far more than just their jobs, like their freedom, temporarily in many cases (like Dr. King) and permanently in many others (like Navalny). Making a stand is often laudable, but also often personally consequential.
Microsoft's compliance is largely to allow for Bing to be removed as their built-in search, and ability to uninstall Edge. They are also only allowing this within the EU market, not globally.

Google just needs to allow for the selection of a default browser, provide links in Google search to competing sites (which Google will still make money off of with their ad delivery network anyway), opt-out option for sharing data between YT, Search, Maps, etc. As well as allow outside payment processors for apps.

For Microsoft and Google, none of these changes are affecting their cash cow. Cloud computing for MS, and ads for Google.

These DMA changes are affecting Apple's cash cow, the iPhone. and their second largest cash cow, Services and IAP. Apple has a LOT more on the line with these DMA changes than MS or Google do.
Please perish the thought.
The USB-C mandate is nothing to do with Apple. It’s ensure interoperability and reduce waste.

Setting standards is one of the oldest forms of regulation, ever since weights and measures were standardized to ensure people could trade more easily, ensuring that when you bought a pound of flour from one vendor it would be the same pound as the vendor across the street.

SLS reused a whole bunch of hardware and launched 6 years late, basically doubling the planned schedule and slipping dozens of times.

Obviously a clean first launch can be done, I'm not arguing against that, I'm saying "Basic rocketry isn't all that hard anymore" is nonsense. Nobody looking at the SLS program and its troubles and say that building rockets isn't difficult.

You can spend an enormous amount of time and resources while using as much legacy proven hardware as possible to try to never fail... or you can blow up rockets to test them for faster cheaper results.
Sounds great! I just subscribed to Cody, looking forward to testing the JetBrains support.
The case against Israel brought forth by South Africa states quite clearly South Africa asserts Israel is violating the Genocide Convention [0]. The ICJ never corroborated this claim meaning there was not enough evidence to substantiate it.

That is not the same as what I asked about.
I'm an idiot. I just gave money to kinda-scammers, not the US government
Ok, so hear me out. And may this serve as a warning. I'm technical and usually fairly well-prepared, but still...

Mistake #1. On a Friday evening I decided to quickly settle things out for my upcoming travel to the USA in a little over a week (I'm in a dutch citizen, living in the Netherlands). Friday evening. After a very hard week and lots of travel. Very tired. Idiot.
https://imgur.com/a/lmsaM48

Mistake #2. I google ESTA, and click on the first link that looks legit because it has something that looks like an offical US Gov seal etc. I don't check the domain or that it's under the sponsored section. Idiot.

Mistake #3. I land on a website that looks exactly what I expect a gov website to look like. Official badly designed form. But it's not too terrible. So I'm positively surprised. It's asking lots of questions. I don't look at the fine print. I start filling in the details. Idiot.
https://imgur.com/a/b7kIoVn

Mistake #4. I fill everything in, upload my passport etc. Pay with a credit card (hey, I didn't forget to check for https!) IDIOT!

I receive an email with a confirmation.
It doesn't have the $ paid. And I need an invoice to claim expenses as it's a work trip. That's when I start looking more closely and the penny drops.

I hope they just charged me 98 dollars instead of the official 21. That would be a fair price to pay for being an idiot.

But they have my passport details an all. Which is highly unsettling. I'm still wondering whether I need to go change everything immediately.

I'm mostly angry at myself for being an idiot, but also a little bit at google for allowing this shit. I guess what they are doing is not technically illegal (charging people 70 bucks for resubmitting their form). So it may be hard to pin down from a legal standpoint (assuming they don't sell your data).
But still... prioritizing sponsored links when people are clearly searching for government websites seems like pure greedy evil. Meh.

P.S.
THIS FRIDAY KEEPS GIVING
Mistake #5. I post it here with a throwaway account ONLY TO REVEAL MY NAME in the Dropbox links (since changed to imgur). COMPLETE IDIOT! This day shall be celebrated as my personal idiocy day for many years to come. What else have I f*cked up?
Lately it seems that more and more rank-and-file employees believe that a company has some sort of moral obligation to take their political opinions into consideration. Corporations aren't democracies. Unless you're an executive or high ranking decision maker, you're along for the ride. I don't ask my kids for their opinion about my home budget, what house I should buy, etc. So it is at work.

Expecting a company to kowtow to your belief system betrays a conceited/pretentious view of the world around you. If you don't like the job, leave it.
I'm not saying you're entitled to a paycheck - a company has the right to fire you for your differences in politics. But if you frame it as a relationship, communication can help both sides as long as it's done with some mutual understanding. There are times companies listen to their employees and change their stance. And if they don't then you still have the ability to leave. That said it also matters how differences in views are expressed, I doubt there are many cases where yelling is effective..

> Nobody digs ditches or chops down trees by hand anymore.

I do. I literally cleared out a drainage ditch and chopped wood for my
neighbour last week. I did it to keep fit, feel good and get out of
the computer room for a while.

You should try it.
Interesting point. That could make for some awkward conversations if the patient thinks messages were coming from their doctor but then the director had no memory of the messages. It would also seem fraudulent to have messages signed by the doctor when it wasn’t actually sent by that doctor.

I think it’s much more likely that doctors will end up sending AI-autocompleted messages that take very little time to complete but seem like took much longer.

A board can only really exert soft pressure. Their options are very limited outside trying to fully replace a CEO unless they have something to use as a stick. Apple in particular prints money unlike any other company on earth and its board is not going to stop Tim Cook from doing pretty much whatever he feels like.
How is this EU policy frivolous? Clearly there is 1) anti-competitive behaviour and 2) actual harms from Apple's actions.

On top of that, their record for Apple:EU battles is what? N:0?
Quite possible, in which case he's likely achieved his goal.

Personally I don't think firing him helps Google's PR, rather it makes them look even more "evil". (To clarify, I am NOT saying that it is unexpected for a company to fire such a person. Expectations != what's the morally correct != reality, I'm just commenting on a part of the equation.)
Imagine being such a pseudo-contrarian that you say you'd be an employee of the makers of Zyklon B (Tesch and Stabenow/Degesch) with the words "I would, with no regrets".

This is "Professionalism" to you, jfc.
It’s bad optics to employ someone who doesn’t know what emergency means.
I'm not sure I agree, since there's words like "bookkeeper" that work fine—people just add a stop in front of the k sound and don't really think about it.
I meant that skinning has already been cool before XP, with various degrees of attention to detail and various amounts of system hacks. WindowBlinds for the whole system, application-level reskins. Even Java applets were once considered cool simply because they used their own UI toolkit! Moreover, Microsoft had essentially sold wallpapers and cursors as Plus packs.

However, after the release of XP developers did not stick to using correct native components that would automatically look like Windows 98 on Windows 98, and like Windows XP on Windows XP. They continued to reinvent everything via third-party skinning libraries, but now with kind-of-hip kind-of-XP styles. Random example:

http://web.archive.org/web/20041213230620/http://www.helium2...

Native menus don't work like that. The gradient between “Standard theme” and “Silver theme” background colors is someone's invention. Scrollbars should reach the top of the table views, and their native headers look different. Extra shadows here and there. etc., etc. Everything is improperly remade.

I suppose it was an important topic if they specifically introduced visual style signing at the time when system files and drivers were not even required to be signed. Maybe the perspective of new antitrust trials botched another EEE campaign, maybe the peasants just refused to bow to the king that time.

As for undocumented framework, look up "Windows DirectUser Engine" and "DirectUIHWND". Here's someone fighting with Raymond Chen in comments over IE pretending that having a copy of undocumented system library does not consist of using undocumented Windows APIs:

The ICJ case wasn't intended to say "yes/no" to "is Israel committing genocide?" - the purpose was see if there was that risk. They found there is a plausible risk that Israel is committing genocide.

US-backed Israel has recently been shown to have misrepresented itself to the ICJ multiple times - I can dig up a link later if you're curious.

And in January Netanyahu said: “No one will stop us, not The Hague, not the axis of evil and not anyone else" - I don't think what the ICJ says matters one jot to US-backed Israel.

I won't go into what people have been able to see with their own eyes for the past 5 months, despite the incredible level of bias in MSM, censorship on social media, and the best efforts of Israel's Hasbara.
I honestly have no idea what you're talking about, which tracking code you want me to remove and in which of my websites you saw ads. I was never part of a company that had an ad/tracking-based business model, and in fact all my work in Zaraz is around making third-party online more transparent and permissions based so that scripts don't just run uncontrollably and that it would be possible to completely block their access to cookies, network etc. Your comment looks like you just came up with a fantasy story and replied to it instead... I mean, me losing profit because my ads won't work? what?
Its 7-11 years of additional school, exams, training, and internships. You often work 60-80 hours a week. Most have to move across the country more than once, and apply at every level to work in the field they want -- most are rejected outright at the start, and many won't get into the specific field they want -- ever. I graduated medical school. It is incomparably more challenging than software engineering interviewing. I get it and agree, it really sucks, especially once you have kids. But trust me, people that struggle to survive the leet code grind are most likely the people that would not get into something akin medical school to begin with.
> The value of work is how useful the end product is.

To who?
Your reasoning is flawed as $75k/year is WAY above the minimum wage in the US. Adjusting for that, it comes to about ~$160.

I'm not saying it's fair, I'm saying it's cheap, compared to the US as that is implied by the context of this conversation.

When you buy a $1 dollar shirt from Malaysia, is it cheap? Yes. Is it fair? Who knows.

It's the same thing.

Also, doctors in Mexico make way more than minimum wage, it's not unusual for some of them to have incomes around 200k-300k USD/year, plus read about RESICO and your jaw will drop to the floor. The average person in the US would kill to have the income and purchasing power doctors have in Mexico.
Why stop there?

...Let them fly private!

I don't know about you, but $200 is a lot for me to pay to save an hour.

As an Apple customer myself, I'd be much happier if they spent that money researching a way to charge the Magic Trackpad over USB-C. This is precisely the behavior that makes me ashamed to use Apple hardware.
ICJ didn't ask to stop anything but it did ORDER Israel to do the following:

Medical providers are constantly telling patients not to self-diagnose/self-treat/play google-doctor, but as soon as there is a billing problem, everyone uses that to victim blame. Kind of messed up if you ask me.

Personally I am not qualified to determine what a treatable and non-treatable burn looks like. Where I went to school they don't teach that.
Israel has a professional misinformation and cyber warfare arm. It isn't even denied. Professional as in AC office's and salaried.

I have no doubt they actively work in forums like these and try their best at applying pressure for which works sometimes and other times does not.
That’s funny. This is about didactics for newcomers to the language, I shared an example of what might trip them up. Thanks for taking the time though.
This is one of those things where there is only upside for everyone involved.

Apple (and Google) need to be saved from themselves sometimes.

Meanwhile the repeated reversals are making Apple look guilty and nefarious.
Compromising a single seed source for randomness doesn't mean you have control over the output. That's the whole point to using multiple sources.
The performance overhead is when you're calling a method on the generic type--Go has to lookup the specific implementation in a dictionary. Pretty sure that doesn't apply for straight-up container use cases like this one.

It's true. EU food safety standards are generally higher.

The specific examples you've given are... controversial
How do you handle the fact that Windows 11 is a desktop OS and it tends to want to do whatever it feels like restarting for updates and such. I would imagine it's a bit of a pain to have the system reboot at random, killing your VMs etc.
Because smart moral people don't let themselves be used for evil and smart people also have options to work elsewhere. The guy knew he was going to get fired and he did not care because he was already determined not to work for an evil employer.

He could have left quietly, but he decided to take a personal hit to bring awareness to the issue. That makes him a hero in my eyes.
Well, not a great start.

It says "art theft", but right in the panels before you have "allow unrestricted access". Well, if you allowed it, it surely can't be theft.

IMO, a big problem on pressing on the theft and copyright angles is that they're trivially, trivially circumvented. Because there exists the public domain, permissive licensing, and permissions. And once enough permission for enough content has been obtained, that's it. Digital content rarely goes away, we have high quality data already, and if it works fine now, tomorrow it'll surely work better.

I believe fighting against AI by means of copyright is a dead-end and short-sighted tactic, because it will unavoidably lead to creating models that are 100% legal anyway. First of all from companies like Meta, Microsoft and Google that are big enough to collect the data.

Trying to sabotage it is unlikely to work great either. We're talking about computers here, which excel in the mass processing of data. Any transformation is likely detectable, possible to work around, and won't impact already existing content.
> Luddism is a caricature of an ideology

"Luddites [...] protested against manufacturers who used machines in "a fraudulent and deceitful manner" to replace the skilled labour of workers and drive down wages by producing inferior goods". 1

It's not an ideology and it's not anti-progress. Workers losing their jobs to automation was a problem then and is a problem now and we still haven't figured out a good way to deal with this problem. People are right to be concerned about the effects of automation, people are right to be upset when they lose their jobs, and masses of people losing their jobs is terrible and leads to other socio-economic issues. Dismissing those complaints and ignoring those issues because hey, who cares about people that aren't me, living where I don't, when number must go up, right? is the bad ideology here.

They shouldn't have demolished the historic Akhondji masjid (it is truly ancient), but the slum built around it was built on land that was encroached on.

Delhi is ruled by the opposition AAP.

It's not like Temples don't get demolished either [0], and 4 temples were demolished along with the Akhondji Masjid [1] during the Mehrauli demolishment drive.

If it was truly egregious Islamophobia, Indian allies like the UAE and KSA would have called it out like they did Nupur Sharma's extremely insensitive statement 2 years ago.

I agree that Airbnb is used as a scapegoat, and that it is not the problem, but it still is a thing causing real issues for cities.

There's no real reason to not to bring in reasonable regulations that limit the worst sort of Airbnb uses.
The manager's preferred way is with them in private so they can keep their thumb on the network effects and optics, or just bury it altogether.

Any means of generating substantive resonance within an org is jealously reserved by those at the top of an organizational hierarchy.

It's dumb to conflate an action done in war and what a tyrannical madman did to science based GMOs.
the particular positions christiano is being criticized for are positions on questions such as the following:

- what are the correct standards of right and wrong, if any exist?

- what is the ultimate purpose of human existence?

- what, if anything, will bring about the extinguishment of the human race?

- what sorts of immaterial more-than-human consciousnesses exist, or can exist, and what are the relationships between them and humanity?

it doesn't seem especially controversial or metaphorical to me to describe beliefs about such topics as 'religious', particularly when they are coupled with associations organized around those beliefs. buddhism is routinely described as a 'religion' even though it doesn't involve the worship of any deities and is often described by buddhists as entailing atheism
> Microsoft was acting like this in the 90s. I think history is just repeating itself with Apple.

So... the difference was Microsoft was winning those fights because their enemy was other products in the market. They'd tell Dell not to ship Netscape, and Dell would yank the product. They'd clone java, and websites would code to that to get IE compliance. They'd push ActiveX and bribe web properties to implement it, and they would. This wasn't fair, but it was at least in some sense "competition". (I mean, eventually MS would go on to lose control of all those levers, but over decades of timescale and generally due to market motion.)

Apple here is just flailing. It's a regulatory action, not a competitor. There's no feasible path to beating or evading EU law. Surely they know that, right?
No one was supporting Hamas.

Again, read the initial message. (I'm just going to flag anyone who keeps actively misreading this at this point.)
Then don't work at Google or plenty of other large companies who have offices in Israel and do business with Israel.

I'm not saying your opinion is wrong, you do you.
Isn’t it the price of the LLVM backend? That would make it a rustc implementation price.
Protesting Israel is not equivalent to supporting Hamas. Plenty of Jews are doing the same, how many Hamas supporters do you believe are among them?
Of course, certainly not for many of the fired people (although depending on severance and situations--once I would have been happy to have been laid off). And layoff, and the way they're conducted, can certainly be conducted poorly and with less empathy than is called for. (Though, in reality empathy mostly=money in this context.)
