No country is paying the amount proposed. If so, please provide. It should be simple by just showing entitlement amount divided by people.

Countries pay substantial amounts but not to the level proposed by UBI amounts.

There’s an argument for just simplifying payouts by leveling and ditching the “army of bureaucrats” and paying out the costs. But that has problems like reducing payout to people who need it and also not being anywhere near $10k or $20k per person. And these seem really obvious and glaring so are peculiar that they aren’t addressed.

Longest-living bug in Linux (2015)
It bothers me how much folks parrot this XKCD, especially using it to imply passphrases are superior. They are in fact not! Four common words are definitely easier to remember, but is it really feasible to remember hundreds (thousands?) of truly unique four word combinations easily? I would argue strongly it’s not for most people, so then you’re still using a password manager for the vast majority of passwords. Yes, you still need to remember a few, where then passcodes are ok. Also, many sites have arcane password complexity requirements (protip site owners, the only thing that really matters is length) which may not allow for your passphrase as suggestingly formatted by XKCD, thus needing a password manager more.

If we are using a password manager as we should be, there is no real justification for using memorable passwords for the majority of passwords. Let’s use the example from XKCD:

correct horse battery staple = 2048^4 = 2^44

If instead we use the same length of 28 characters with the full range of characters allowed by most websites:

M4Uk@gQRU!JFgwlI6MV$VV39TEA. = 70^28 = ~2^172

Dunno about you, but I’ll gladly take significantly more entropy with zero extra cost any day.
It was indeed very provocative of me, I admit it.

However my point stands; very basic labor rights, and contributions to social security are human rights.

Fundamentally, a lot of those companies haven't created anything new; their incredible ability to circumvent workers rights as to be able to extract more from them, and thus offer lower prices than their competitors was their main "innovation". That's how they also got to attract so much capital!

This sounds very much like a federal system of government like the US, with each level of jurisdiction applying their own rules.

For Bluesky, by default does power lie with the highest authority by or the lowest authority (i.e. the user)?

The US model was originally designed bottom up, with power having to be granted to the higher authority. Admittedly we've effectively abandoned this today.

- Microsoft product packaging is produced by slave labor

- Victoria's Secret used slave labor to replace "Made in Honduras" tags with "Made in USA" stickers. They retaliated against inmates resulting in them put into solitary confinement for whistleblowing.

- Car parts from manufacturers such as GM and Honda

- "American retailers JC Penny and K-Mart have both been known to utilize prison labor from private prisons in Tennessee. In Oregon, a company known as Prison Blues proudly boasts that 80% of their incarcerated workers' wages are withheld."

- Microsoft uses slaves for customer support call centers

- Official baseball caps

- Police armor and shooting targets

- "Cage free" eggs by Arizona's largest egg producer

- Whole Foods relies on slave-produced tilapia

- IBM, Dell, Intel and others rely on slave labor for chip production

Because it is considered to be blasphemous by the true believers. This is only half in jest and all the more remarkable for the frequency with which the apostles of Apple need to defend user-hostile changes.

It looks like a combination of Effort Justification [1], some form of Confirmation Bias [2] and some form of Learned Helplessness [3] to me: given the money, time and effort spent in buying into and learning the ways of the Apple world and also due to the way that world creates a visible distinction between those inside the walls and those outside - blue and green text bubbles etc - some users get caught in a vicious circle of gettin the latest Apple thing, finding out about a user hostile change - ports gone from laptop necessitating a herd of dongles, 'butterfly' keyboard breaking due to unavoidable common contaminants, drives and memory soldered to mainboards making user-upgrade impossible, spare parts serialised making user or third party repair impossible as well as the software devolution described here - and needing to decide to either go with the flow or jumping ship, again. They choose to go with the flow but feel the need to defend the change to suppress the feeling they are at the whim of the company.

Ask HN: Is it normal to pay to a digital marketing agency as a pre-rev?
Hi all,

I have a B2B SaaS startup, trying to personalize UX, got +4 LOIs so far.

A digital marketing agency came out to me and said "we will help you to get $10k/mo. as pricing, you pay $500 now and $2000 after you get $10k/mo."

Does this makes sense to you?
> Is it because people are delusional

Dunno how any dev could rely on some SaaS pay2win autocomplete or the SaaS batch job processor stuff they sold.

Or rely on these kind of companies in the first place.

I mean, sure, pad your resume by making your employer use Best Practice SaaS products, but using Fig seem to be a "don't shit where you eat", messing with your workflow.

That's more or less what happens in real life. If you are having any success with your physical business, you can bet your ass that your landlord will increase rents. They keep a keen eye on this. Sometimes they'll even state that it's not more than fair that they should get more in rent, since your business is doing so well.

Indeed I wonder at “normal” speeds (not racing say) does torque matter or is wear dominated by total miles driven? If I zoom to my destination do my tyres wear substantially more than if I take a more sedate approach?

What about this emerald diamond that Elon got as a gift for an ex-girlfriend that was on auction (With picture of said girlfriend and Elon)

[1]:https://www.rrauction.com/auctions/lot-detail/34638440643009...

Wonder if it would be possible to somehow trace the origin of that emerald to where it came from. Anyway its probably the Musk Family office that was the winning bidder so we may never find out now.

I don't know why this guy keeps having emeralds come up in his life. This auction is hilarious given that he repeatedly denies having anything to do with Emeralds. In fact the origin of the Emerald story is Elon himself, in a Forbes article that has since been scrubbed from the internet.

The best I can find is this Snopes article that references the Forbes article

Here is the quote:

JC: How do you handle fear?

EM: Company death – not succeeding with the company – causes me a lot more stress than physical danger. But I've been in physical danger before. The funny thing is I've not actually been that nervous. In South Africa, my father had a private plane we'd fly in incredibly dangerous weather and barely make it back. This is going to sound slightly crazy, but my father also had a share in an Emerald mine in Zambia. I was 15 and really wanted to go with him but didn't realize how dangerous it was. I couldn't find my passport so I ended up grabbing my brother's – which turned out to be six months overdue! So we had this planeload of contraband and an overdue passport from another person. There were AK-47s all over the place and I'm thinking, "Man, this could really go bad."

I agree with starting with a specific repair is ideal. One thing about electronic repair is devices that need repair and are easier to repair will often have walkthroughs on forums, blogs, or YouTube. Starting with projects that others have solved will be an easier ramp up than starting with an obscure repair.

For example, I had a pair of Samsung LCD monitors that stopped working. I looked up how to repair them and found that they suffered from leaking capacitors. Some video showed how to identify the capacitors and how to desolder an solder replacements. I followed the instructions and got the monitors working again. Another example is I have a Delco car radio from the 90s with burnt out illumination bulbs. Again there are walkthroughs on repairing these.
No, but code behind compile flags in a stable release seems like something we should file CVEs against.

It is indeed an option, I guess the problem with this is that its static and and you need to re-create the tables each time.

For someone more techie probably could work, as you could dump the data to sqlite and then query it. But if you want to have it dynamically and from sheets in real-time probably it would be harder to handle this way.

I don't think so. Different fairness properties.

A roundabout has conventions for who has priority on enter/exit which means one of the lanes waits for a space in the other.

Motorway junctions and this example have the joining lane separate from the existing one so either can block the other.

Note that high traffic roundabouts usually end up with traffic lights to force a degree of fairness, where relative flow rate can be adjusted by different timing on the lights.

It's the difference between enforcing mutual exclusion by control flow vs a futex.

I don't remember all of them and I use a password manager, that's true.

But If I need to login on a device where my password manager is not installed, or you can't use a password manager (e.g. windows UAC prompt, linux tty), it will be way easier to open my password manager on my phone and type a password rather than a long random string.

I don't use a passphrase for every login, but for some logins where I think it could be benefitial to easily type it without using autofill I use them.
Ball's Point Revisited – Again
The problem is you need to create a table with the correct data types first, which can be time-consuming. Additionally, using CLI can be a bit cumbersome to use, especially if it involves quering multiple tables, or using joins. I don't want to point to the infamous "dropbox" comment [1], but it's important to understand that many folks just want a friendly interface where they can put in a URL/file, and start querying.

This is the exact reason I built TextQuery [2], which solves a similar problem as OP's. I just wanted a simple app where I could drop a CSV and start SQL querying it, without creating schemas or writing code/commands.

I use to keep homing pigeons as a kid and participate in racing, it use to be quite popular in The Netherlands and Belgium, the area where I live. But it's a dying hobby. The biggest race is Barcelona, 1000 km or 600 miles, which birds can fly in 10 hours.

I recently built a coop and finally have a few pigeons again after not having them for almost 20 years. They are intelligent animals that are fun to keep and bring me peace having them around me.
LLMs, even as a technological achievement, are trained on pirated content. That doesn't differ much from illegal obtaining and processing of data (especially for commercial purposes). In that sense processing is not individual consumption, but still consumption for model training purposes.

Besides piracy itself, in US legal system, there's a concept of a "fruit of the poisonous tree". The logic of the terminology is that if the source (the "tree") of the evidence or evidence itself is tainted, then anything gained (the "fruit") from it is tainted as well.

That would mean, that all LLMs creations would be considered as illegal. This would also apply to generated training data, in case the model would be ordered to be destroyed.

That's my understanding, too. And since it's underpinned by ATProto, rather than being coupled with Bluesky, "moderator score" apps could be built that independently track how 'useful' the labels are (and, by extension, the labeling services), subjective to each individual app's preferences. Then users could rely on moderation rankings from their favorite moderation ranking app to determine which moderators to use and when to switch if the quality tanks.

I'm pretty sure the Israel-Palestine genocide has played a part in speeding up partial transfer to the US.

The support among teenagers who have witness the destruction and terrorism caused by Israel has cause organic support for Palestine in both the US and Europe. Exactly against the wishes of US/Israel gov.

US based companies already have a tight grip on what's allowed to be shared on social media - and there's frequent documented cases of censorship in the name of anti-Semitism etc. The Israeli govenment has a degree of control already through their cyber warfare arm to flag material but it's a far cry from modifying the algorithm at will and outright account bans.
‘Nearly 20 years’ got me. I thought ‘no way, the very first iPhone was released a little bit more than 10 years ago and Android was released a year after’. Then I realised we’re closer to 20 years than we’re to 10 years. It was almost 17 years ago, the very first iPhone!

I try to understand what stays and goes. I read this:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/t...

So all 16 bit goes away. 32 bit is still possible, but only in user mode. The OS is always 64bit. 32bit style segmentation goes. Insb/outsb goes.

This doesn't seem so bad. 16 bit is almost always in emulators anyway. 32 bit user code can stay. Presumably OS page table magic can hide segment registers missing. We need to upgrade the OS, but user mode won't take much of a hit.

I wonder how much they gain in practice. Probably a huge simplification in speed critical address calculation.

Can't see them gain much by dropping ins/outs, but they probably won't be missed much anyway.
