In the sense that a 1lb thing of ground beef plus whatever fillers mcdonalds uses (I believe it's some kind of oatmeal) would probably produce like about 10 happy meals, and a 50lb bag of flour from winco (plus a few tbsp salt and water) would make hundreds of buns, I think you could get it way below $3 / meal. I mean, safeway often has ground beef for a few dollars a pound, that's a lot of happy meals.

In reality, these ragebait articles are written by young people (guessing young men) who have no experience cooking for a family.
If I understand correctly Ticketmaster is still the one creating this problem, they demand exclusivity in their contracts which often means the venue has no choice if they want to participate in a large enough market to continue operating. Similarly artists have trouble securing large venues if not participating in their scheme.

This is the problem with most 'monopolies', they reach a certain critical mass where they can no longer be dealt with on even footing. You are at their mercy as a vendor and as a customer. You can often argue that 'choice' exists, but what choice is it really? Taylor Swift isn't going to come play at our local music house/bar.
Really? I'd think truly arbitrary — root access to / — writes would be an RCE. Could you not just write out a cronjob, and wait for it to execute? Or change any common binary that would easily get invoked to do some "extra" work, etc.
You can run a DoH-to-regular-DNS bridging resolver locally.

My router supports that out of the box, but unfortunately it's somewhat unreliable compared to regular UDP resolution and I had to turn it back off.

Idk, hard to guess based on the layman description, but maybe what they are describing is a rolling average? That would be quite a standard low-pass filter for applications like this.

Hard to get upset over that. What matters is not the signal processing but the validation. You take a bunch of people with various blood alcohol levels measured by some already accepted lab technique and you verify that your new measurement technique is measuring within some acceptable error bound of that.
My dad and I were watching a TV show where someone received a time traveling fax. I remarked that the software on the Fax machine may have just had a bug.

He immediately remarked "they're scientists (physicists who sent the fax) and it was impossible that they wouldn't have accounted for that".

I've been a software engineer for 10 years. He's a well-read hard-working blue-collar guy, working as a taxi driver and behind a deli most of his career. I just nodded and moved past it.

People want to anthromorphize AI. People want to yield divine knowledge to computers. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic indeed.
I mean, that's one possibility, but does evidence actually indicate that's true? I play Grand Theft Auto like an utter psychopath and I don't go around running people over in my free time.

I'll acknowledge it's not an apples to apples comparison, because it's much harder to view the characters in GTA like real people, they are still pretty obviously cartoon characters, but these are the arguments people made when violent video games started getting popular in the 90's, despite the fact that the violent crime rate has gone down pretty consistently since the 90's.

So I don't know, it's possible I guess?
While you are at it, stop this "maybe later" nonsense.
No, but a "We're not taking your tax money anymore" should be forced.
I agree. The dual licenses don't really slice reality the way they want them to - that large companies should pay, and everyone else should use for free. So just say that. Pick a revenue number, and say that anyone above that number should contact for an alternate license.

To answer sibling comment by theamk: I think such projects should just disclose their rates up front.
You have like zero molecules left in your body from 10 years ago.
If you are worried about physics, the most important consideration is your diet.

And are you really a derivation of your state, or of the things that happen to you? The guys who were drafted into war in Vietnam and then got killed there, was there anything about them that would have made a difference to their cruel fate?
If we go by this philosophy, the most import decisions are when you were born, where, and into what environment.

For example if you want a house, you should have timed your birth to 30 years ago.
Smartphones enabled internet addiction to reach the masses. Previously it only engaged those who had the patience and wits to maintain a PC and sit down at a desk to read and write on the internet. As long as the professional and volunteer skills to invest in a "wild" project are transferrable to that of a centralized platform, creators will gravitate to the side that has more users and can pay them more and consumers will gravitate toward the one that is easier to access and worth the according cost of entry (oftentimes free).

This isn't a unique phenomenon. Look at video games. When any subculture/industry goes mainstream you don't see it preserving the thriving ecosystem of before and just adding on a synergistic mainstream bloc. Rather, the mainstream bloc cannibalizes and leaves dwindling ghost towns. That's the price of attention competition and opportunity cost.

Important to note that the "people" in this case is the company that bought the rights to the Redis trademark from the original creator and then took on $350M in VC funding. The community that created and supported Redis since its inception was not involved in the decision, and isn't getting any of the benefit.

> in the late 90s, NPR and CPB member stations were caught selling their membership lists

The article specifically says partner television stations and apparently some sold their lists to Republican campaigns too ("including the 1996 presidential campaign of Sen. Bob Dole").

Your initial statement "NPR that sold it's subscriber list to the Democratic party" doesn't appear to be correct at all if this was the end of the story.

Because if you see OP's comment, they were testing their migrator on real users' devices (in what I presume is a blue green manner, without explicitly informing them except in small print) before their "official launch". If their beta test didn't go well, they will have to rollback their change, consuming more writes.

It feels like a good response to me, similar to nrp's comments in this thread: it acknowledges the issue and explains what they're doing to address it.
Eh.

Russian folk wisdom says "Жид крещёный - что вор прощеный. Веры нет" - "A converted Jew (slur) is like a forgiven thief - no faith/trust".

And in later times, "бить будут не по паспорту, а по морде" - you'll get beaten up on your face, not on (according to) your identification papers, a play on words meaning if you look Jewish, it doesn't matter that your papers say otherwise.
I mean yes some Austrian dialects are hard, but the grammar is the same in Austria and Germany, and apart from certain words that sometimes confuse the other it's still the same German.

Especially at the border you can have German pupils to attend schools in Austria and vice versa and none of them needs a special class for learning the other German language
I really hope that we'll move past DNS load balancing for large media files at some point.

It's definitely better than nothing for small/one-off fetches, but VOD streaming sites usually have to fetch a license file from some API server anyway – so why not direct the viewer/client to the best CDN host based on the client IP address instead?
Your post makes me realise that (unlike with most other software, like window manager, browser, office suite, etc) I've never really had a clear favourite FOSS music player. Even before Spotify (which has been my primary music player for years now). I've tried all the main ones, but none really stuck. ncmpcpp came closest.
I think we have a duty as consumers not to reinforce anti-consumer behavior, when at all possible.
No CLA for commercial license would mean that any contributor retains copyright to their work. So, you mean they get proportional dividend from commercial contracts? Is there a precedent? I'm honestly curious.
> Is the stock market for investing in a company

With the exception of the IPO and buy-backs, the stock market is NOT for/about investing in the company.

When you buy IBM on NYSE, IBM doesn't get anything. Similarly for selling stock. If IBM doesn't see any money from a trade, how is that trade an "investment" in IBM?

Stock trading is trading partial ownership. That's very different from investing.

In other news, there's no money in the stock market. The money that you pay for IBM stock does not go to the "stock market". It goes to whomever owned the stock that you bought.
Strangely this doesn't work inside tmux...

It really seems like there are a lot of issues with rendering images in the cli. I know kitty has a python version too but kitty doesn't play nice with tmux and the dev isn't a fan of tmux[0]. To be fair, I'd love to move away from tmux but I use remote machines all day and I haven't found a good alternative. I don't care about tiling (I can do that in vim, even the terminal), though it is useful (mostly switching sessions for managing workflow context). I'd also love to see someone pick back up mosh (ssh).

A critical problem is that if you work on remote machines a lot you probably gotta be able to build some things from source and build into your local bin because you don't have sudo access on the machine. Preferably installs without network access.

> I grew up listening to NPR, it was always on. Car talk with my dad on the weekends, Prarie home, etc.

Note: These are not NPR shows. They're merely shows that your (and most) local NPR affiliates purchased for broadcasting.

If you think your local affiliate doesn't have enough of these types of shows, let them know! Many local affiliates have wide discretion on the programming.

It affects users who were using hosted redis - there is no longer any competition. If you liked to use redis hosted by someone else (for example for lower price, or better integration, or something like this), it is no longer possible. It's Redis Lab way or highway, and they can jack up prices as high as they want.
> Amazingly, given all the time elapsed, AOL still makes a decent amount of money on the site and on the program—while the company has declined to release official figures, former employees who worked on Winamp estimate its current revenue at around $6 million annually.

How does it make this money? What's the source of revenue? Are there ads in Winamp?
things are changing recently in aws, but few years ago R-family instances had one of the fastest uplink to EBS. for example only the larges M4 instance (m4.16xlarge) has 10gbps uplink, versus R5b where it starts from 10gbps (for the lowest tier) and ends on 60gbps @ 260k IOPS. you can very easily choke EBS with DB.

EDIT: only newer C instances have comparable uplink to EBS, C5 or C4 (and some C6) starts from ~4.7gbps. just compare the EBS bandwidth column in https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/

The story you linked either omits the information or buries it deep enough to obscure the _actual_ source of the controversy. I was living in Chicago at the time, and the scandal wasn't the name choice, it was the fact that Aloha Poke sent cease and desist letters to other poke shops across the country demanding that they remove "aloha" from their names:

While Aloha Poke contends it sent notes in a “cooperative manner” to defend intellectual property, Native Hawaiians feel the poke chain is trying to restrict how they can embrace their own heritage.

No. I never said I actually made that complaint, because I don't. I was just pointing out that contrary to resource_waste's assertion above, fast food can in fact be less expensive than grocery food. It is not a statement of error so egregious as to be worth writing off the content of an entire media organization.
Nematodes as an effective, alternative to control the fall armyworm in Africa
I remember when they were on the agenda path to eliminate gifs. You'd see posts on hacker news written by Giffy, a company seeking to make its existence justified by getting rid of gifs, all over hacker news.

When I would say: This is a terrible idea, they just want to control and own the content. a gif you own, a gif you can download and so what ever you wanted, etc. boy was I down voted into oblivion.

One of the reasons for this is many posts aren't on hacker news by accident, they are hidden advertisements. Chances are, you got the karma to downvote people. Just starting off at -1 is a disadvantage.

You can try it too: just disagree with what an article says in the comments, 99% of the time you will be downvoted. Agree and you get free karma. This is not always the case, but generally is.
Judging by the name of supported operations it looks like this is built around a type of CQRS pattern. Am I reading this right? Is it possible grant granular operations like a specific type of read or write for an entity?

> Yes. Perhaps if the chief cause of secession were taxation or political oppression, more nuance could be tolerated (?!) regarding the South.

So you're willing to forgive and largely ignore the role of slavery in a revolution "with" slavery, but you're not willing to do so in a secession "for" slavery? I can't help but notice that this line of reasoning applies more moral weight to the mindset of a few political leaders than it does to the enslavement of millions. Could it be that this is more of a rationalization of the contradiction between two of your priors (union founders good, confederate founders evil) than a true statement of principle?

>This standard, of course, by which imperialist aggression is justified by the moral failings of the conquered people, is itself considered to be evil in every other case
>No.

I'm not sure that Jan 6 is a useful comparison. Consider the Vietnam war instead. When discussing Vietnam, would I be within my rights to declare the Vietnamese evil and undeserving of a fair hearing in the court of history, their point of view dismissed as intolerable nuance, simply because we consider totalitarian communism to be an abject evil? Of course not! If anyone made such an argument, you would immediately be suspicious of their motives. You would be suspicious because you understand that, though totalitarian communism was a great evil, a good-faith understanding of the history requires that we, at a minimum, hear the Vietnamese side of things, consider the full range of their motivations and have the good grace to question our own.

All Southerners want with regards to the history of the war is the same good-faith and courtesy that's afforded to the Vietnamese, but apparently that's too much to ask.
Do you have to use their modem or their router?

I've been using my own router across many ISPs over time, and almost all of them offered a "bridge" mode that would just hand a public IP to my own router over DHCP.
Yeah, my attempts to learn Estonian met with roughly the same success as my attempts to learn Latin.

Japanese was easier. German too. Spanish was much easier.

Anecdote: Firefox (124) has become unusable for me on Arch Linux. Highly resource intensive applications (particularly including video streaming, even worse with camera / webrtc) consume way more CPU resources to the point of my laptop lagging out.

I don't remember the exact versions, but I upgraded to 124 earlier this month. Brave works great for video streaming, but breaks applications I use. Firefox development (125) also breaks some applications I use, and has the same performance issues as regular firefox.

The fan on my laptop has been broken for most of this year (replaced due to first fan making noise, but havent had time to figure out why the replacement stopped working). I have been running with all high performance CPU features disabled in the BIOS for years with the purpose of not using the fan anyways, and it has been working great with 1 or 2 intensive applications max running in firefox (and as much other low intensity stuff that basically doesn't consume much resource such as another browser - chromium, vscode, my development environment including a vm).

I don't currently really have any conclusive idea about what's going on. I will have to start using my desktop, fixing issues with my laptop, and do some more testing out of my workloads. Overall I'm just getting the feeling that something is horribly wrong with Firefox.
Doesn't speaking Vietnamese properly involve mastery of tones and a complex system of pronouns/honorifics where you have to figure out the appropriate age/familiarity level which might be more challenging than the actual words?

The main difficulty with learning German is that you tend to get replies in immaculate English

My horror story of Ticketmaster; I recently bought standing-room-only tickets on short notice (<1wk) for an event near me, declining the additional fee to be able to refund my tickets. After more discussion with the others I was going with, I bought seated tickets instead through SeatGeek. Understanding I declined the ability to refund, I attempted to sell my tickets, but their system kept encountering an internal error preventing me from selling the tickets.

I reached out to support for assistance, and after several days of wasted time and run-around, they finally sent my issue to their engineering team saying they'd get back to me in 5 business days. Keep in mind I said I bought these tickets a week before the event, and they'd already wasted a few days giving me the run-around, functionally meaning I wouldn't be able to sell my tickets.

I attempted to charge back the purchase since they did not provide what I paid for (tickets I could sell), and they fought me and won somehow.

So thanks Ticketmaster, for sucking me out of hundreds of dollars for nothing more than bytes in your database that I couldn't do anything with. I hope they go bankrupt.

For anyone who is in my shoes and hasn't used Ticketmaster yet and might be tempted to give them a chance thinking all of these horror stories are just unlucky people- don't. I was naive to think that all of those companies with bad reputations are just the loud minority but Ticketmaster is the only one I've had the misfortune of finding out is seriously awful. Use SeatGeek or countless other platforms instead. Gun to my head to use Ticketmaster again I'd probably take the lead instead.
> But the real problem I have with, "I hope the lesson will be learned" is that the lesson people are learning is "don't try to build ambitious software requiring a lot of work from a dedicated core team using an open source license; you're going to find yourself damned if you do and damned if you don't".

Yeah, for things running server-side that could be used by Amazon and Microsoft, they should use SSPL from the start. In this case everything is clear and everybody knows what to expect. For regular users, there is absolutely zero difference between SSPL and OSI-certified licenses.

> I would say that the circle of influence people have is by far the most impactful on their happiness and that of their family.

This is factually wrong. Otherwise there wouldn't be such a strong correlation between socioeconomic class and later success in life.

> The individual choice to try meth or not will vastly outweigh any genetic or environmental factor on personal outcome.

Drug use and poverty wouldn't be so strongly linked if that were a free choice.

Maybe you should tell all the drug addicts to just not do drugs. Problem solved.

Are you telling people with depression to "just snap out of it" as well? Drug addiction is a serious medical illness. It requires a whole support network of people to cure in most cases.

> Teach a generation of juveniles that they have no agency, and their individual efforts and work, and they will never succeed.

You empower them by teaching them that it a systemic issue, that it is NOT their fault. That they can organize together and lift each other up. Individuals are weak, groups are strong.

Individual responsibility only works for the rich. Collective responsibility is what breaks the cycle of violence of poverty. It takes a village to raise a kid after all.
