These kinds of stories seem to have no other effect than to make the world feel darker, scarier, more dreary. It is, at best, another data-point in the argument against the criminal justice system, that it is run by ignorant, ego-inflated bullies looking for anything to make their bullying easier and more total. It goes along with the many auditing videos of LEOs overtly breaking the law, issuing unlawful orders to citizens, assaulting them, arresting them for nothing, knowing how much pain they are causing and knowing they'll get away with it. It goes with the SWAT teams violently entering homes at the wrong address, shooting dogs and leaving with a snide, "Be grateful it wasn't worse."

It paints a picture of an American justice system that is entirely corrupt, where judges, attorneys, police and prosecutors all work on the same team, all operate different levers of the same meat grinder, where the rules are an impediment and treated like a joke. The only people to get any kind of justice are those with deep pockets, and often not even then.

Local police have far too much power, far too little knowledge of the law, and far too often escalate an interaction because of their hurt egos. And they have so many tools: 'officer safety' being a perennial favorite. How does this stop? Why are the police in other countries better behaved? When will people stop being distracted by pronoun wars and get outraged at something real and urgent? What do you do with the legions of unthinking supporters of the meat-grinder, who cannot or will not imagine that one can have societal order without it, and that the lever-pullers are doing God's work? One can play whack-a-mole with this systemic injustice and that one, but the system as a whole is so deeply embedded, it seems impossible to change incrementally. The cops, judges, lawyers, AGs are just too comfortable operating with impunity, and they are too politically connected to ever change.

During the Ballmer era MSFT was famous for the lack of cooperation between and within teams. That's what you get when you use stack ranking to decide compensation.
I regularly move $10k+ between different DeFi applications and my own personal wallets. Pretty crazy stuff here
I was listening to this podcast [1] by a previous head of the IMF, who basically said the same thing.

> A police chief in Michigan said Harpster’s class paid off immediately after a man called 911 and said he had just found his mother and sister dead. “He made the mistake of saying ‘I need help,’” the chief explained.

I can't even...

It'd deeply distressing that these sorts of charlatans steal decades of life from their victims, and the closest thing to a punishment for it they'll ever face is having to say "oops!"
quick note, after I almost did: Please don't feed the trolls: they're replying to every. single. reply. with more bait.
This is key. Due to hedonics/replacements inflation hasn't reflected what people actually feel for a while now.
No. Microcontrollers are the improper solution for this problem.

You can run full blown Linux efficiently at 500MHz or 600MHz processors like STM32MP1 processors, powered by AA batteries or other small battery packs.

There's also SAMA5D2, and a few other competitors in this space (both above, and below, the STM32MP1).

When we're talking about "consoles", that's "plug-and-play executables", meaning you now want a proper compile / library -> ELF + loader == Linux kernel, security, etc. etc.

Besides, a DDR2 chip gets you like 512MB of RAM for $4 and easily fits within the power-constraints of AA-batteries. There's very little benefit to going to the microwatt-scale devices like STM32 Discovery.

----------

Microprocessors for the win. Entry-level MPUs exist for a reason, and there's a ton of them well below Rasp. Pi in terms of power / performance.

There's many at the 2D level of graphical performance, but 500MHz is still a bit low for this. You'll probably want to reach into faster 1000MHz / 1GHz MPUs and push into STM32MP2 if you're reaching into 3d levels of performance. (Which is beginning to look like a cut-down cellphone chip really)
Your program takes various inputs, does processing and gives you results. To quote the book this applies to programs "including those with control flows and data structures" and are not entirely numerical in the most common sense. Broadly speaking, with AD you can modify the results and the program will spit out the required inputs to get those results.
Reading about the use of Excel and the complications it has brings back memories when I worked at a firm that used Excel for vendors and suppliers for mechanical drives.

The spreadsheet became a monster, loaded with complex formulas, pivot tables, and macros that were supposed to automate tasks but instead introduced a fragile, error-prone system.

Every time I needed to update a supplier's information or check on a component's delivery status, I felt like I was navigating a minefield. A single misstep in updating the data could cascade into significant inaccuracies, affecting decision-making and project timelines. It was a constant game of double-checking and triple-checking, which was not only time-consuming but also mentally exhausting.
State taxes as well. The IRS didn't partner with individual states for this initiative. They also don't have limits on interest income or household income, which make this worthless for people who file high income returns.
Largescale use of electric planes still seem like sci-fi for the time being, but you did get me thinking that airships would likely produce a lot less noise pollution than planes.
Semi-related FYI if anyone is a Subaru owner (with Starlink): you can opt out of all 3rd-party data sharing from their Starlink telemetry, as they've extended the CCPA rights across all of the US [0]

My childhood home was in the flight path for NASA when they were given the Blackbird after it's official retirement. We also routinely had fire-retardant bombers flying eye level close enough you could read the tail numbers off with a naked eye (we were on the side of a mountain, bombers flew down the valley).

Point is: the Blackbird, flying at altitude, sounded like a tree fell on the house . Big crash/thud suddenly. The bombers, though loud, were a steady build up until they passed, then quietly faded away. The Blackbird, I literally remember leaving the house to make sure there wasn't a hole in the wall or roof.

founder and CEO is Dimitri Shelest from Minsk, Belarus

.. just so there is no mistaken identity !
Great question! First off, we absolutely love the guys at all those companies, they're building awesome stuff.

DryMerge differentiates by focusing on plain english chat as an interface. The reason that's important is because it's accessible to more non-technical folks, lowers time to value (a lot easier to say what's on your mind than drag & dropping/building), and allows for cool semantic filtering like "Angry emails", "Investor", or "Potential customer" which we've found opens up a whole bunch of cool new possible automations. We also heavily focus on event-driven workflow automation (we have a lot of triggers).
I don't believe leading economists didn't see this coming. Even if they didn't originally, it's been clear now, for decades.

This is the system working as intended, making government spending easy and gradually worsening poor's people lives.
I'm a big fan of anonymous payments as a component of a resilient democracy, but to me, there's an amount cap where the tradeoff starts getting skewed from that to facilitating money laundering, tax evasion and other bad things.

I can imagine dozens of good use cases for <€5000 anonymous payments, but not many above that.

If there's real demand for it, I think we should come up with a technical solution that e.g. provides one-sided privacy like GNU Taler (taxation usually happens at the payee level, so the payer can usually remain anonymous; the same applies to things like terror financing etc).
I think of dependency injection as a generalization of LD_PRELOAD, the point being that the "injection" is done via configuration that is external to the application's code.
> But people should be able to save.

If everyone saves, the economy will collapse. Every dollar you save is a dollar that someone else doesn't earn.

In an inflationary environment, people can still save by buying equities.

This has tax and timing implications... But it's still possible.

> Without having to take up a loan to do so.

The existence of 25, 30, 35 year mortgages driving housing prices into the stratosphere is a separate problem, but not one you're ever going to unwind without having existing mortgage holders stringing you up from a lamp post.

That's a completely separate issue to inflation.
I was thinking about Litestar as well. Would be a good fit for this project. I hope the maintainers consider it.
Ok? How are you comparing these systems to the benchmark so they might be considered relevant? Compressing "Lots of small files" describes an infinite variety of workloads. To achieve anything close to the benchmark you'd need to specifically only compress only small files in a single directory of an average small size. And even the contents of those files would have large implications as to expected performance....
You can make PDF client-side by html2canvas or webkit.js (https://github.com/trevorlinton/webkit.js)
Sounds interesting, but lost me at "sign in with discord"
The real problem is using monetary policy as a tool at all. We should have ZIRP forever and use fiscal policy to target price stability and full employment.
That's the honesty and directness shining through!
Are you sending that to another iPhone?

No, I'm sending them from an iPhone to Google Voice via MMS. iMessage does not work over Google Voice. All that an iPhone knows is that the Google Voice number is not an Apple device.

It's completely broken.

Yes. MMS implementations are terrible, just like carrier implementations of RCS.

Apple wants to force Android users into iPhones so that their tect messages stop sucking, as if it's and Android issue.

Repeat after me: Poor MMS implementations are not Apple limitations.
I spent 3 years trying to run a marathon but I mostly stick to 5ks.
Priority check-in, priority security, priority boarding, priority disembarkation, priority immigration, priority baggage pickup, priority customs lanes all exist and these add up, particularly for international travel. My APEC card alone has saved me hours more times than I can count.
I would ask a different question. Why combine a bunch of prices into an opaque number and call it "inflation"?

I'd argue that doing so masks the true causes of price rises. Prices go up because companies make the choice to raise their prices. Sometimes this is because their own inputs became more expensive but in many more cases it's because the people running the company want to increase profits.

By hiding the choices made by people running companies behind this opaque number called "inflation" that people perceive as somehow controlled by the government we've allowed companies to get away with making decisions that increase profits for wealthy executives and shareholders at the expense of people who rely on the goods produced by the companies.
So if a program's result is "no access", then AD can figure out how you can get access. Sounds like an important hacker tool.
No. It only leaded to a propaganda boom. /s
1: Use Firefox.
2: Don't use Google anything.
3: If you can't do 2, at least do 1 and add a search blacklist extension like ublacklist.
4: Actually, use uBlacklist (or whatever) anyway, it will let you add other search engines, and block the annoying sites that clog the search results.

Here is my current search result blocklist, these sites earned a position on the list by either being intrinsically unwanted, (i.e. news sites, social media), completely useless (learn.microsoft.com, a site specifically written so that you can't learn anything from it (Oh, I define a few of the function for a specific thing but can't be searched and only rarely show any examples, hope you have a dev DC to practice your poorly written powershell scripts on! of course, we never tell you that there is a book series that actually teaches you microsoft stuff because otherwise more people would understand how easy it is to operate windows), or SEO spam optimized BS that prevents me from finding what I am actually searching for.

Thank you for the advice! Regarding building a RAG, do mean making one based on, e.g., the this example? https://python.langchain.com/docs/expression_language/cookbo...
Eh, maybe. The suitcase itself is also, more simply, literally just something designed to be a reasonable amount of stuff that a human could carry. Many early portable PCs (e.g. Osborne) targeted a suitcase form factor just because it was a reasonable form factor for people to carry around.

And the comparison is something colloquially convenient. "The device was the size of a suitcase" is just more illustrative than "the device was 50 liters in volume"
Sorry about that; should be fixed now.
because they were sending to an iPhone

No, I was sending it to a Google Voice number which means it goes out via MMS. Google no longer does SMS/MMS forwarding so I logged into the Google Voice site and downloaded the image that Google received via MMS. There is no 200 kilobyte limit.

I really love how folks are frothing at the mouth over things they don't understand.
Good answer. Inflation is just a euphemism for stealing from working people.
If all the money becomes digital at some point, should we switch from inflation target to just automatically reducing every bank account balance by 0.005% per day (equivalent to 2% p.y.)
I've definitely experienced this with things like an air conditioner emanating classical music...went through the same process of freaking out only to be relieved by a professional.

One thing I'd notice -- it was way, way worse if I was severely sleep deprived (which is not often anymore).
There is also HTML/CSS layout engine litehtml (https://github.com/litehtml/litehtml) and even a full-blown web engine in JS: WebKit.js (https://github.com/trevorlinton/webkit.js)
Your comments set off my spidey senses; they don't pass the sniff-test for a trustworthy, well-informed, pro-Intuit stance, especially on message board catering to tech.

Intuit practices the classic rent-seeking behaviors endemic to late stage capitalism. Who is this helping? They also actively lobby against tax reform because it's an existential threat to their cash cow.
Basically yes..

Privately owned houses, flats or other privately owned properties can't be entered without permission. The demonstrators can start a demonstration in my garden, yes, but the police will help here. And, no one would even think of doing so, because everyone knows thats illegal. This is different with companies. You can't enter, but you can block their parking space or demonstrate in front the maintenance. They can call the police, but they're can't do anything about that - public ground.

Just remember the "occupy" movement that camped in front of banks in Frankfurt, Germany, and made it nearly impossible for the guys working there to enter their workplace.

This restrictions of private property applies
Without exception for every one, and for the police or other state organs like intelligence or ambulances. If, then, only a search warrant issued by a judge, who is bound to certain laws or on your invitation can enable them to enter without your ok.. and even that can be stopped by a lawyer. If it was unlawful, then everything they found must be given back or deleted. That's the way love goes - love for the rights of a single person. Nothing is more important so it is written in the basic law.

So yes. I'll wait until the day you'll have a highway in your backyard :) and then I ask you, why didn't you demonstrate?
It requires the sqlite3 library bindings, which might be a lot of effort.
> The issue isn’t that the same device will be cheaper in a year, but that the latest device will be the same or close to it.

I can't see how this is not a matter-of-degree of what GP comment said. If the latest-tech device is going to be cheaper next year, I will still have to use the old tech for another year before I upgrade. I don't think the equation changes at all.
> In general, halving my in-air time is honestly not worth a lot.

If I have a 2 hour flight then no, it isn't. If I have a 12 hour flight then it's worth more.

> Everybody's winging it, nobody knows what they're doing

I’ve seen this comment a lot in recent years and I think there’s a lot of nuance here that is unappreciated.

When taken literally, it is used as a weapon of anti-intellectualism e.g. the doctors don’t know what they are doing when it comes to vaccines.

What it actually should mean is that the experts know there’s only a small slice about the universe/society that we understand, and thus proposal represents the best of our knowledge. It cannot guarantee success. But by god, it’s a lot better of an attempt than the opinion of some guy off the street
Yes, very good explanation.

Quantitative easing is just printing money with extra steps through the banks.
Yeah, it's just a bandpass filter (very easy to make by accident) and an amp.
I hear singing, voices and a lot more in the shower. Sometimes a complete orchestra; I have tinnitus from damage (black metal frontman for decades) and a very active imagination. I like to listen to it. Sometimes when we are on a long trip and I don’t have to drive, I hear the same in the air conditioner. I enjoy it.
Many people take inflation as an immutable law of nature, but that has not always been so. Food for example, for a long time, became cheaper. Computers and technology as well. Think how nuts it would be if you could get a better house for less money every few years.
Can you elaborate how they are different?
I see it as a wealth tax and I agree, 2% is roughly long term stable maximum returns that leaves enough on the table for the middle class to prosper. I think at 3.5% or whatever they want to up the target to be will not be long term stable. It’ll work for a little while as GDP increases with increased inequality but civil unrest will from said inequality will reduce efficiency as more will need to be spent on security.
High-end JavaCards can do this. A few have RFID/NFC interfaces, but they are expensive.

Looks like it wasn't all that hard. Honestly the harder part is getting my shell to remember the changes to PATH.
1. I don't agree this is useless. You may very likely never need to use it, but not for others.
2. Until every single JavaScript file in the world is in the ESM format, anything that happens before that will be a band aid of some sort.
What about differences in productivity?
An uber from Sea-Tac airport into Seattle can easily reach $80, and almost $100 with tip.

Given how far NRT is from Tokyo, $200 doesn't seem too bad...
Now try sending to an at&t iPhone.

Why? Sending a message to a Google Voice number will always happen over SMS or MMS. iMessage does not work over GV. RCS does not work over GV. If you mean try receiving messages from an AT&T Android phone, sure, I've done that. No complaints, although AT&T seems to throttle the image size more than other carriers in my experience.

By your experience it seems that Apple is limiting iOS-iOS image size, to promote iMessage

What? If I were sending messages to an iOS device directly it would go out over iMessage. Instead I chose to send a message via MMS to a Google Voice number where Google serves as the end device. iMessage does not work over Google Voice. There. Is. No. 200. Kilobyte. Limit. There's no gatekeeping, just shitty carrier MMS implementations.
Shame on you.

We will not have supersonic transport for average people unless outsiders do it first. There are only two meaningfully large manufacturers now, Airbus and Boeing.

Boeing and Airbus both cannot financially afford a technologically promising but possible failure now. Boeing built the 737 MAXX because they couldn’t afford a clean sheet update of 70-year old technology despite the savings. Airbus lost almost as much as the entire company was worth on the A380, kept afloat by EU subsidies.

All new technology happens for the wealthy first - we would not have smartphones today if Apple was forced to price them at the median price of cell phones in 2004.
> Politicians Who Voted to Ban TikTok May Own as Much as $126M in Tech Stocks

No. What is this ? Witch hunting ? /s

And, anyway, how much they get from "Tech" besides stocks ?
It’s called auditory pareidolia. A more personal example for you would be hearing your 6 month old crying in the store, only to suddenly realize you went there by yourself.
Many countries share information they have about imminent terrorist attacks with each other even when they don't have good relations. Russia and the US have done this before.
