As the article says, those who get rewards are richer people who spend more money. so merchants are indirectly rewarding their customers who spend the most money.
What means do you think would be justified for Ukranian resistance? Would launching rockets at civilian quarters in Russia be OK? Or stabbing ordinary Russians in public transport? Is shooting at cars indiscriminately OK? At what point you think the western countries would consider withdrawing their support?

You have an interesting opinion of "successful resistance". What happens in the West Bank and Gaza is really difficult to call "success" for Palestinians. Can you elaborate what you meant with "successful"?

Happy to hear you don’t think rape and hostage taking are legitimate resistance. To follow up on this point – you believe Hamas didn’t do that? Or how do you simultaneously call them "charity resistance org" and disapprove of the extreme violence?
From my experience there's always more tickets you can pick up.
I live in a badly-maintained, "3rd world" country, and since we got office 365 maybe a half decade ago (probably more) it's been down once, for one afternoon. And that was due to what looks like an undersea cable sabotage.

What kind of internet/IT department do you have where you have any sort of regular office outage?
The extra HTML does not happen from the client reading the forwarded email, but when forwarding. That is expected, because the forwarding party might want to add more text to the email.
There was a sharp change to the exchange rates the moment the markets reopened after the result was announced: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=pound+dollar+exchange+r...

If you compare this to the two surrounding 6 year periods, each in isolation seems unremarkable:

I agree that the deeper issue is the failure to recover from 2008; I've also seen the similarities with Japan: one lost decade turning into two lost decades…
I am pretty sure you can simply ask him to no longer come in to work, then honor the contractual obligation and be done with it.

The whole going to harm someone part sounds removed from reality. If people are being assholes then make sure you put your foot down and take control of the situation.

I'm confident it follows a preprogrammed course. Piloting it from remote would be hard to achieve in such a deep attack and the radio link would expose it to detection and jamming.

I concur re not being able to share data structures. I've been using `cudarc` for FFI (Shaders in C++; CPU code in rust), but that would be a nice perk.
That's a load of horse manure and you know it. They can easily find people. The problem is they don't want to pay.
> which I haven't read due to the source

Well if there is a more perfect illustration on why society in 2024 cannot have a reasonable and intelligent discussion about anything, I can’t name it. “I’m not going to read it…but I am going to comment on it anyway” is intellectually lazy.

Just go read the article, then comment. Don’t be afraid of words, you can still think for yourself even when you read things in sources that might occasionally write things that you disagree with…

I've no doubt that there was incompetence involved. Which is to be somewhat expected since Linux requires a set of skills to install and administer at scale, and few people have that particular skillset.

Equally I'm sure it was never going to be a cost saving exercise since firstly the cost of Windows is negligible, and second the conversion costs, in-house skill requirements, re-training of users, and porting existing software are all significant.

So you go from cheap software to free software, but from cheap IT staff to expensive, perhaps-incompetant, hard-to-replace IT staff.

If the savings aren't real then the fallback argument is privacy etc. But Libre Office runs fine on Windows. So by all means start there.
I think for the answer to this question to be yes, you have to think the number of opportunities for investment in private companies to be plentiful when compared to other ways to invest.

I'd argue that investing $$$ in private companies, apart from being very risky, is just not that common an opportunity for anyone, let alone someone who doesn't have a lot of assets or income.

Other opportunities:

* Real estate

* Common stocks

* Mutual funds

* Bonds

* Options

* Working for such private companies (income and stov options)

All of these are more accessible, less risky, more transparent, and more liquid than investing in a private company.

I'll leave aside whether the US government should be protecting investors with less than $1m from themselves (which is a different question).
I gotta say it's been interesting finding online discourse that denies an atrocity that occurred only a few months ago. Never really paid attention when people talked about holocaust denial and denial of the Armenian genocide but now finding comments implying hamas did not torture, rape and murder their way across southern Israel when we have literal video footage of these savages enjoying their orgy of violence makes me understand those people a bit better.

> You can just disable Siri if you're that concerned?

Apple fights you from disabling Siri as much as they can. I've tried to disable Siri multiple times, but it turns off other unrelated features/services, so it's basically impossible.

For example, if you're using CarPlay, it's required that Siri is enabled, even if you don't use the voice controls.
Yes, I can agree and I think that the corona lockdowns at least here in Europe accelerated this impression. Before 2021 it was very rare, that I would talk to a recruiter from UK, mainly those from Facebook, after 2021 it was the new normal.

During the mid phase of corona, let’s call it the Work from Home aka ZOOM phase, big tech hired massive amounts of developers all over the world and English was and is the lingua franca in everything Computer Science related.

I guess that the internationalization and corona together with English being the common denominator played a huge part here as well as cultural considerations. People from UK are tight to the main markets like USA, Canada, EU and India.

Just my 5 cents.
"Strongly typed, weakly checked". Which is a funny way to say "Not strongly typed" or perhaps more generously "The compilers aren't very good and neither are the programmers but other than that..." (and yes I write that as a long time C programmer)

But hey, C does have types:

First it has several different integers with silly names like "long" and "short".

Then it has the integers again but wearing a Groucho mask and with twice as many zeroes, "float" and "double".

Then an integer that's probably one byte, unless it isn't, in which case it is anyway, and which doesn't know whether it's signed or not, "char".

Then a very small integer that takes up too much space ("_Bool" aka bool)

Finally though, it does have types which definitely aren't integers, unfortunately they participates in integer arithmetic anyway and many C programmers believe they're integers, but the compiler doesn't so that's... well it's a disaster, I speak of course of the pointers.
This isn't an issue of someone not being able. It's an issue of anyone WILLING to do it for shit pay.
It’s because inequality is brutal in the island, while the mainland is a bit more equalitarian. So was the UK up until Thatcher really. She released the Kraken of capitalism, and now the UK feels like a small version of the US, inequality wise. Thatcher’s reforms increased GDP and wealth but also massively grew the number of working poor.
I did a rented EV roadtrip in Norway and it was amazing with a Citroen e-c4.

But Norway is probably one of the most saturated with chargers, and i still almost had to call service at some point because i went to zero, a bit nerve wrecking.

This was because there is so many different apps and 20% do not work for foreigners, then 10% just don't work for anyone - so eventually you'll experience a small city where you can't charge, then have to re-route, and if that city also isn't working or isn't providing service then things can get tight.

I'll say we are very close, but the "signing up for 10 different services" and following instructions on so many chargers, giving no service to foreigners because of some weird banking setup is what makes it not feasible yet.

I could manage because im an IT pro, i couldn't imagine my mom figuring this stuff out.

All chargers should have the same system by law, just beep your credit card and it starts charging, instead of requiring you to sign up through brittle interfaces in some weird app with bad cell service.

I skipped the Tesla because it seemed cheap inside, had no speedometer (this is so weird), and the buttons on the steering wheel would drive me crazy, the Citroen was great though!

Ica doesn't sell good quality saffron as far as I know. I got ten 0.5 gram satchels for 100 SEK before 'jul' last year, small paper packets with their own branding placed at the checkout.

Probably more expensive in the 'big' cities.

These are not comparable. You're welcome to use any provider's managed offerings
-- Google Cloud Run, AWS Fargate, fly.io, etc.

I'm really sick of people hating on Kubernetes because it's complicated, sure, but the thing it abstracts is far more complicated. When it comes to orchestrating resources across systems nothing comes close.
You used to be able to deduct any consumer debt. But that stopped in 1986. The reason was "Congress believed deductions for personal interest encouraged people to consume and stifle savings."

No, but tbf that stuff isn’t usually made public.

You both are talking around each other I feel.

In any job there is a spectrum from bare minimum to a master. This goes for welding and baristas. Is someone who pushes a button on a Nespresso a barista? If I go get a soldering iron am I a welder?

You overlay the normal distribution of all baristas and welders and look at the difficulty in learning various skills. I'm sure they are not exactly equal.
My understanding is that such a bioweapon cannot be created with current technology.

We know such things are possible, but we can't actually do them.
It is a bit verbose. Could you allow a syntax like:

logger.log_error("internal server error", {{"http.method", "GET"}, {"http.path", "/"}, {"http.status", 500}} );
Doesn't matter, investors these days demand so much ever increasing profits that their Ws will exceed their Ls anyway. Money begets money after all.
This is a new project from Jean-Baptiste Kempf, main contributor of VLC

It sounds pretty insane, basically real time latency streaming for audio, video and inputs, where both the client and the server can run anywhere, on desktop, on mobile, on the web, so you could potentially play Cyberpunk 2077 by simply opening a new tab on any machine

It will be open-sourced although the project appears not to be yet available https://kyber.media/
Thatcher set out some reforms and flogged off a lot of state run things.

One of the big things she did was de-regulate some of the financial markets (a-la big bang)

The shutting down of the mines was the thing that she was most vilified for. However she left office in 1990, there were 7 more years of conservative rule after her.

However, much as its fun to piss on her grave (no judgement) the stuff she did was/is pretty tame and almost left wing compared to the present government.
Kustomize is pretty horrible stuff. I wouldn't want to use it for anything serious.
Fun times old android phones had the same bug.
Every time my MS rep brings up O365 I correct him: “it’s Office 363. It does not work twice a year”
Material sustenance predominates every other aspect of human society, so the socialists just seem to have their priorities in order when you put it that way.
A former Navy Seal heads the org I work in. He’s an expert in telecommunications and fiber tech. I’ve always wondered how he go the job and knows so much about telecom…especially fiber.
https://twitter.com/MSFT365Status just scrolling through there is several outages, Teams, performance issues, etc. However it does tend to be only a specific area/country or a set of products rather then all of Office 365.
> Looking at their central bank's balance, Ireland the country effectively went bankrupt in October 2006.

... In what sense did Ireland go bankrupt? That would imply that we abandoned at least some of the state's liabilities; in fact the state was criticised by many for not only paying its own liabilities, including those which it could have gotten out of without serious credit damage, but also for unnecessarily taking on others' liabilities (Ireland was briefly about the only country in the world with an _unlimited_ deposit guarantee). Bit confused what you think the _Irish_ central bank has to do with it; the relevant agencies would be the ECB and the NTMA.

> This is when their government hit up against the EU limits on spending. This is when the politicians had to either increase taxation or reduce spending. They chose neither.

We massively increased taxes, massively cut spending, and borrowed vast amounts of money. We spent more per capita bailing out banks than anywhere else on earth. Again, criticism would generally be of _doing that, rather than becoming bankrupt_.

> Their country never recovered from the bankruptcy in 2006. So when covid hit they were unable to afford a response to it.

By any reasonable metric Ireland was in a far better fiscal state in 2019 than in 2006, and we had a fairly extensive and expensive response to covid.

> IReland in 2022 dropped their income tax from 48% to 40%

This is incorrect. Ireland's marginal rate has been 48% or 52% depending on whether you count PRSI (which is not strictly an income tax), has been for over a decade, and continues to be.

Actually, you know what, I'm not going through the rest of this. This is peak HackerNews; absolute nonsense, stated confidently. I'd suspect the involvement of an LLM, but for the grammar.
I agree, and I'd go a step further:

In my opinion, the complexity of the interactions between C++'s {preprocessor, overload resolution, template resolution, operator overloading, and implicit casting} can make it really hard to know the meaning of a code snippet you're looking at.

If people use these features only in a very limited, disciplined manner it can be okay.

But on projects where they don't, by golly it's a mess.

(I suppose it's possible to write a horrible mess in any language, so maybe it's unfair for me to pick on C++.)

Not sure which graph you are looking at but Google Finance shows 2008, the Brexit referendum and Liz Truss giving the Pound/Dollar exchange rate a good kicking, after each of those events it didn't recover. This is the reason UK has been attractive for US and Canadian investors.

You cannot really use that as argument. Everyone does that so it does not make Apple ”worse”.

Do you have a specific critique of the StackIt cloud that makes you put "alternative" in quotes? Do share if that's the case.
I don't necessarily see a link to the advertising and the borkedness of this rollout.

After all, commercials are very often just like this. Sadly, a vast majority of people have no interest in real information, and to be fair, the main purpose of a commercial is to stick the brand in mind.

And as memory is amplified by emotion, humour helps.

The real problem is range anxiety I think. PHEV is what we need now, as a transition path. With one, people can plug in for almost all uses, and still be OK if surprise usage means they won't have charge.

Other comments in this thread highlight this. Primary, because when traveling you have no idea about the local infra.

Where can you charge? What companies are cost effective? What hotels support charging, and for real, not just saying so on their website.. but only having one or two of them?

When you travel, all the knowledge which makes EV usage at home easier, are gone.

And so Hertz should have done PHEV.
A question mark before open source productivity tools find mass adoption is their ability to integrate ML/AI tools.

The current hype notwithstanding, it is likely that the next generation productivity suite (from spreadsheets to document editors etc) will support important algorithmically augmented workflows and non-technical users will expect them to be available. Libreoffice and friends must have a forward looking narrative to remain relevant.

Proprietary cloud based solutions are already rolling in this direction but will always face the extra hurdles that sensitive data are accessible by third parties and essential functionality for business continuity relies on external actors.

But, so far at least, neither libreoffice (nor the linux desktop for that matter) seem to be particularly keen on moving to that next phase. Even while cutting edge open source machine learning and even competend LLM models are getting available in record time, the integration story is still non-existent.

The pendulum of client/server balance and thin versus thick clients is always swinging. With mobile and cloud it seems to have reached an extremum. Who knows where it lands next, maybe the "AI PC" that some hardware vendors already pitch will become a thing.

Paella usually requires a specialized pan to do it properly, which most people might not have, so I thought the bouillabaisse might be easier for people just looking to try saffron out.
Worth remembering it's quite natural for the US to be wealthier. It has the resources of a continent, functionally infinite land, massive energy resources, the thousands of miles and an ocean away from any threats. Like, of course a country like that is gonna be rich.

Primer, one of the great time travel movies, also had a $7000 budget.

Both Primer and El Mariachi are excellent, excellent examples of how to make a quality movie on a tight budget.
Does Hertz charge an additional fee if the charge is below a certain level? I know many renting on Turo do if the charge is below 20%, even those with the fee to return without charging.
