Certainly, but you need stakeholders who are willing to make the investment, do the hard work over years, decades even, and not use it as resume building who are going to bounce to something else and leave a pile of garbage behind.

Are governments willing to keep technologists happy to run sovereign clouds with comp and working arrangements? Or are they going to treat them poorly and pay them poorly?

This is why mainframes still run while other workloads churns back and forth between on prem and cloud: hype cycle peaks, folks moved to cloud, found out it was super expensive and they didn't need the agility it provides, and now they have sticker shock and are trying to figure out how to come back on prem. But come back on prem to what? VMware gonna rake you over the coals, and there isn't a great on prem story besides say, OpenShift after Mesos.
Well done! Keep at it slowly slowly
Consider the following...

If you conceptualize it as "Annual fee minus reward credits" it's far more reasonable than that. For example, Amex Platinum is $695/year, but the Walmart+ and Digital Entertainment credits are $395 combined. Compared to the next highest card in Amex's line - Gold @ $250 - this makes more sense that you might originally think.
> The USPS will never text you, I asked. They only do things by mail :]

Rather the USPS will never text you unprompted. There are a number of services (like package tracking) where the USPS will text you.

PS: Sorry for the pedantry
I imagine not having to physically forking out the notes and coins from the one you have in your pocket/wallet, where you can literally see your money supply diminishing, also has something to do with that.
Is this because Americans are easier to dupe or that there are so many online Americans it pays off to target them the most? All the other brands are used in multiple countries whereas USPS is only for the US.
Or maybe you can pay 4-10x or even more the price for chips when something in the world destabilizes (remember that during covid?), was that not real money?

Libertarian types love to make models of the world that are so simplified they are totally incorrect. But hey, you'll be able to save on taxes in the good times, and starve in the streets during the bad.
If that is the case, why should I switch to a terminal with lower latency?
It only matters to a certain point. After the latency is below some threshold it no longer matters.

However because how Linux graphics system was developed, there is a lot of extra latency and bad software out there, so it might be noticeable.
> A binary sensor reading the wire going to the speaker isn't some magic modification that invalidates the safety

That’s where you have to be careful about what you’re calling “safety”. There’s “does this, even a little bit, make it less likely that my fire alarm will go off at the appropriate time?” and there’s “will this modification invalidate the UL certification of the fire alarm?”

If reasonably designed (e.g. not low impedance) you could pretty readily conclude that the answer to the first question is No. However… the answer to the second question is almost certainly Yes, which can transition from irrelevant to “a very big deal” if there’s an incident that gets fire marshals and insurance companies doing an investigation.
I big part missing from this conversation is what happens when you lose a device, want to leave an auth platform, or are deplatformed.

I don't want my credentials to be locked into any vendor, be it Apple, Google, or Proton. I currently use email + passwords + yubikeys. My credentials aren't dependent on some passkey auth server working correctly, or device that I don't control or have copies of. If Google or Apple wanted to ban me without recourse, in theory it wouldn't affect my ability to use other services. This doesn't appear to be the case with passkeys.
Unfortunately I haven't solved that issue either and the UI could easily break on updates

And format. The glob spec that gitignore uses isn’t necessarily trivial.
Are there any downsides to citizens to enact legislation requiring something like 1 price no matter the payment source? I.e. the same price whether you pay online, in-person, or whether you pay with a phone or through the web? I could see some differences with in-person versus online, or with difference prices for various locations, but why not charge the same whether you're using a phone or website?

Maybe someone should create an app or some other technology that identifies the lowest cost payment method (web or mobile) and then sends that data as your user agent so you can get the lowest price.

EB-2 is technically a path, but from all I've heard it's not that much easier than the regular pipeline, since it involves having 10 years of post-degree experience, thus still leaving you at the mercy of the H1B process in the meantime. That process is also still dependent on the employer's willingness to sponsor, and I've seen several cases of employers refusing to go beyond an H1B sponsorship (of course, they only outright say that right near the end of the H1B's maximum term). 10 years is also still on the order of the time it takes to get permanent residency through the normal lottery.

It makes sense. You want to pick something that more people are customers of. These are numbers of US based people. Just about everyone at these numbers interact with the USPS. I recently received a few Wells Fargo txt messages. They didn't fool me. This was thanks in part (a large part!) to the fact that I'm not a Wells Fargo customer.
Fully agree with this sentiment it's very much our focus and goal at Crunchy Data with one big thing I'd add-great support.

I recall seeing them crop up in the early days of building and running Heroku Postgres, they were a very very early managed service provider. To my knowledge they never seemed to grow to massive scale but were a steady business (though I don't know any of the details for sure). That they were still around for over a decade is a testament from a lot of others.

They've already got the dish. They can use it for solar panels for now and if business comes back they could take them off and use again for its intended purposes.

It's a little wacky, but at RF the dish performance isn't actually degraded as much as you might think by the panels. It's possible that at night the system could be used for its original purpose and then in the daytime generate solar.
pax is in all the BSDs - an implementation was included in 4.4BSD. libarchive implements the pax file format, so bsdtar and bsdcpio can handle pax files.

>Like I said, if all social security was through private insurance the tax burden would be lower but the people wouldn't have more money.

It won't be that lower. The German pension has existing liabilities that they must pay. Since it is backed by the state, it will inevitably be paid by the taxes.

Even if the pension payments were abolished, just to pay existing entitlements, the taxes would be increased proportionally. The public pension can be considered a plus in a young country with a healthy demographics. In a geriatric state such as Germany, it is a big burden.

The popularisation of the concept of Central Europe stems from some people being ashamed of being from Eastern Europe and feeling inferior to Western Europe. Eastern Europe is defined by the Iron Curtain whose effects are still visible today, while Central Europe is a category created purely by selecting a region on the map without regard for political or cultural factors, just to push Eastern Europe further East and exclude some countries from it. It’s fairly arbitrary. I don’t see Eastern Europe as inferior and am not ashamed of being from a part of it, so I see no point in using an arbitrary term like Central Europe.
This is correct. You need some kind of running check on the environment and when possible code that handle exceptional cases.

Sometimes that's as simple as a service that shoots other services in the head to restart them. Othertimes it's more complicated. But lot's of places can't afford to get more complicated than "alert a human and have them look at it".

I assume that a lot of people who have medical dept know that they will never pay that. Some even will choose that without eveb try. So regardless of the details, morality and problems in healthcare system. I would like if someone can explain what are the consequences or non payment.

But phones aren't free, they have both significant up-front and recurring expenses. Trading "I need to buy a map" for "I need to buy a phone so I can look at a map" isn't a straight win.

And at the same time, before phones, every municipality had a place with free maps of major landmarks, precisely because they want to encourage tourism without forcing people to buy a local map.

The situation of needing to own a phone in order to participate in society is similar to how here in the US we require people to own cars to participate in society; it is a financial burden whose effects are felt disproportionately by those who are less wealthy.
It's because US cell phone networks refuse to implement basic authentication, and because USA population has the most excess money to steal.

Firefox couldn't do this on its own previously. They'd still have to go through the system menu. If Firefox asks to be the default it just takes you to that menu. Default browser settings have been corrupted by capitalist perverse incentives for a long time. There's big money in being a default so MS and OEMs and Google/FF have been fighting this war forever. The EU just got sick of it, again. Hopefully this is the last time we have to mess with this.

MS pushing Edge as the default without user permission, again, is the problem. I've booted my computer from an update to find Edge my default. Also Outlook will use Edge as the default for opening links even if your system browser is something else. This can be changed with a setting in Outlook, if you can find it.

Per usual MS finds value in anti-consumer and anti-competitive practices. This is how they please stockholders as a publicly traded company.

So, IIUC, passkeys are a form of public key authentication. You register a public key with a service and then prove you have the private key. It sounds like this article is blaming "big tech" for not creating a universal, seamless, transparent private key sharing mechanism. That seems... silly?

As a user, sure, I'd like to share my private keys around, and maybe one day we'll get there. However, exporting keys manually—which is what it sounds like proton is doing—sounds pretty sucky as well from a user experience standpoint. Now instead of having a password, I have a bunch of private keys that I have to manage and do... something... with on different services.

This article would do well to acknowledge that this is a very hard problem rather than just ring the "big tech suxxorz" bell again.

Presuming my understanding of persistent sessions lines up with yours, set `terminal.integrated.enablePersistentSettings`. You may also want to change the value of `terminal.integrated.persistentSessionScrollback` to something higher than the default (1000? not sure)

Use SQL to search within a Git repo
A few days late here (joys of opening multiple tabs then only getting to them when bored), here's hoping you look back and see this:

The difference between using a LIMIT and not hints this is happening because of a low correlation statistic between that index and the order on disk. Postgres is avoiding random-access lookups in what looks to you like the optimal plan, because this blows away the disk cache (paging cache) and would result in a much slower overall time than you think it will, given other configuration values.

The CLUSTER command will reorder the table data to match a chosen index, after which postgres will use that index with an index scan the way you want it to, even if you retrieved the whole table and have a slow disk, because now with a high correlation statistic the query planner knows it'll be working with the disk cache instead of against it.

If you're on an SSD or are otherwise sure it can all be held in memory, check out the "random_page_cost" setting on https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-query... which may allow the index scan without having to run CLUSTER.

My $0.02: correct chunking can improve accuracy, but it does not change the fact that it is still a single-shot operation. I have commented on this before, so I am repeating myself, but what RAGs are trying to do is the equivalent of looking up some information (let's say via a search engine), and you happen to have the correct answer in the first 5 results - not the links but the actual excerpt from the crawled pages. You don't need many evals to naturally figure out that this will only sometimes work. So, chunking improves the performance as long as the search phrase can discover the correct information, but it does not consider that the search itself could be wrong or require more evaluation. Add to the mix that vectorisation of the records does not work well for non-tokens, made-up words, foreign languages, etc, and you start getting the idea of the complexity involved. This is why more context is better but up to a limit.

IMHO, in most use cases, chunking optimisation strategies will not substantially improve performance. What I think might improve performance is running N search strategies with multiple variations of the search phrase and picking up the best answer. But this is currently expensive and slow.

Having developed a RAG platform over one and a half years ago, I find many of these challenges strikingly familiar.
I am 37 years old and I have never ever found payments to have any friction, my 1950s/1960s parents feel the same with the credit card being the last significant technological advancement.

All the rest have been many but minor quality of life improvements here and there, but payments have been frictionless for as long as I remember.
I really liked the book and then watched the show years later. The first season of the show covers the book. Overall I liked the show, though not as much as the book. It followed my memory of the book fairly well aside from a few significant changes.

There's a second season of the show about a totally different story that I didn't really care for.

> but in general you can stream a few times before buying, and then stream as much as you want afterwards.

Not exactly what I have in mind. I am working with the model where all songs are always available (like Spotify) and people simply choose how (a) how much they want to give per month and (b) how to split this amount among their preferred artists.

In effect, it's the same as a "pay as you want", but there is no overhead of thinking about which songs to "buy".
Rhythm is about frequency, not latency. As long as latency is stable, anyone adapts to it.
Increased cost to consumer, less margin for sellers, and perverse incentives.

Amazon already does this with anything covered by Amazon fulfillment (you’re not allowed to have a lower advertised price anywhere else). This just means that more people are funneled to the easier method, because if it all costs the same why would they care? So Amazon gets more money, the seller gets less overall (worse margins on fulfillment orders), and Amazon’s monopoly is entrenched further.
The analogy would be creating a site called amazon.org, providing an e-commerce like experience then redirecting people to the real site once you go to the shopping cart.

That might be the case if we were comparing it to cash, but the article appears to be comparing it to card payment.
I'd be wary of this approach - either from issuers suspecting you are gaming the system, or the effect on your FICO score as the average age of your accounts decreases.

I might be totally off base, but this seems like it can't end well.
I do believe that some people account for money that way, but for me it's the opposite:

On my credit card statement or bank account, I can at the end of the month see in detail how much I've spent, broken down by category and merchant; with cash, it all just shows up as "ATM withdrawals" and I have no sense for where it all went.
This is an overly cynical view in my opinion. Firstly, payments is certainly not the first thing we made frictionless using technology. Reducing friction for things is not at all a new trend. Heck, just take a closer look at the device being used for Apple Pay: a Cell Phone! A technology that made it easier to talk to anybody, anywhere!

Secondly, automating payments is just an easier accomplishment than automating access to healthcare. With healthcare, you need to find the right provider, and do a bunch of other non-trivial things. Payments boils down to moving numbers from one ledger to another which is much easier. So of course society accomplished that before automating access to healthcare. It does not at all mean that society doesn't value healthcare
The consequences are not the same as a credit card. Medical debt in the US does not show up like credit card debt and does not have bearing on your credit score. People with massive medical debt can arrange with the health system to pay $50 per month on a $50,000 medical bill, and it has no material impact on their credit.
Why not both? USPS is most prolific and polluting spam purveyor in the world.
I wonder if part of this has to do with the more complex, piecemeal nature of medical debt and these buybacks.

How I understand several of these groups (I'm not certain of the one in the article) do these debt purchases is that they purchase debt that has already been bundled together and resold. So when a person owes medical debt to a hospital, a doctor, a surgeon's practice, a pharmacy, etc, they may owe 15k in total, and these buybacks only cover one resold debt, they may have their hospital debt forgiven, for example, but still own 10k in total to the 3 or 4 other creditors.

Contrast that to a mortgage debt, for example, where paying off the mortgage relieves all anxiety around that debt, and I can see how the difference in complex, multi-creditor debt versus simpler, singular-creditor debt could help address the findings of this study.

> Healthcare does not require money transfer for the consumer. (Well in a non third world country).

I think the commenter was suggesting that by making health care frictionless people are more likely to use it.

There is ultimately money going from consumer to health care provider - whether that's later with an invoice or indirectly via payments to insurance company and from them to the health provider (or taxes for a government provided healthcare). But if you don't have to get out your credit card on each doctors visit, people will go more often.
