I still wonder if Microsoft is going to blink with the whole Windows 11 requires TPM + modern(ish) CPU requirements vs the EOL of Windows 10.

I have a lot of hardware that will not run Windows 11 without hacking the installer to bypass the TPM/CPU checks and even then the end result is something that would be unsupported by Microsoft. If I move these machines to Windows 11 I'll be at risk of a future update hosing the install because it relies on newer CPU instructions or non-existent TPM.

I'm not going to retire those systems - I'll just migrate them to Linux instead.

Functioning 3D Printed Records
I recently had occasion to purchase a duplicate computer running Windows 11 --- when I was done setting it up, almost all the data from the original appeared on the new unit after synching up --- when I noticed that the desktop background I was currently using wasn't available on the new one, I then copied it to the desktop --- while I was trying to decide how to transfer it to the new computer, it simply appeared on that desktop.

Same, and we’re deep red. My power company is a member-owned co-op. It’s cheap as hell (6.8¢/kWh for wind) and doesn’t enjoy burning down the state as a hobby.

For all the fearmongering of the Red Scare, this is what socialism looks like. Socialism is an industrial co-op like this where workers are fairly paid for their labor. Capitalism is Walmart where all profits are captured by a handful of shareholders and executives, being subsidized by the Federal government through food stamps to employees and decimating local economies to the point where they're left with dollar stores.

There's a Tiktoker who is having the Amish build a barn on the land she bought in upstate New York and she keeps calling them "capitalist". The Amish in question are entrepreneurial for sure but that's not capitalism. The Amish keep their surplus labor value. It saddens me to see how fundamentally people misunderstand what capitalism actually is.

All we've done is replace the divine right of kings and landed aristocracy with the capital-owning class of the likes of Jeff Bezos. It's sad to see how many people champion their own serfdom when examples like Mondragon show it doesn't have to be that way.

It maybe "liable for losses" in the way that shareholders often are - if they want the company to continue when it is losing money, they need to "pony up" and invest more.

But it may be a different type of corporation than the standard US "limited liability" type (where you can only have your shares go to zero unless you're significantly materially involved AND do criminal shit).
That is a bad idea. Some of those balls in the air are things you should be doing but can skip. Exercise is a perfect example - we all know that it is important for good health, but it is also something that if you skip a day here and there it is okay (just don't let one day skipped lead to a week). Similarly I practice my musical instruments, but I often skip that when something else comes up, but I have no interest in not having practice as a ball in the air even though I drop it more often than not.

Life only rarely goes perfectly to plan. You will have to change plans at the last minute because of emergencies, but planning to do nothing just in case there is an emergency is a bad plan. Your boss will ask you to work late. Your kids will get sick. You will get invited to a last minute event. It is likely that you will be involved in two different activities that schedule an event at the same time. All of these are a sign of a fulfilling life, not of a problem.

Mergers can actually increase the competitiveness of a sector if two smaller players can stay alive by merging and more effectively compete with the bigger players. An example is the proposed grocery merger of Kroger (#4) and Albertsons (#9), which the FTC is trying to block. https://progressivegrocer.com/pg-100-ranking-top-food-retail...

How long before Microsoft implements some hostile change to discourage or block this? They already did this to other customization apps like Startallback (https://www.startallback.com/) by preventing you from getting windows updates if you have it installed:

> Western, sure. American, not really.

The thing is that I am not sure what american - that is not software services and some PC hardware - is even sold outside of USA. Coca Cola and McDonalds? But aside that I haven't see much american stuff even in Europe. It is usually german home appliances, local food, nestle (swiss) etc.

> True, but there needs to be a middle path between being selective but also attracting the cream of the crop. Take a look at the placement statistics of IIT graduates nowadays (2017 onwards) - barely 5-10% choose to immigrate abroad now, ad it's a similar trend in mid-tier Indian programs as well.

The problem is that even 5% is a lot. Like Indian's population is probably 2-3 times bigger than the whole europe. My own country has less than 9m people and my friend got his USA passport after 5 years only...

> America's innovation ecosystem only worked because we were able to attract the best and the brightest from Russia, India, China, etc. Without that level of openness, we fall to the same pit of stagnation that Mainland Europe, the UK, and Japan fell into.

One of the reason for western stagnation is just the amount of regulations. That's why heavily regulated industries are usually quite successful in Europe (like pharmaceutical companies), but garage startups? Not really. Sweden is basically the only exception. And UK (every 10 years lol).

Typically I get one spam email per day in my spam folder and check about once a month for anything that I may have missed. Recently, it's suddenly about fifty spam emails per day.

The insider constraints are real, though. Sometimes they're self-imposed, and that can be for good reasons (value system, long-term goals) or bad reasons (emotionally stuck, a disproportionate fear of small risks, etc.).

Co-ops are just the way that socialism can exist in a capitalist society. And while capitalist businesses can usually undermine them using all the tools of capitalism, notice that co-op workers are usually happier and paid better, co-op customers are treated better and receive better service, and the community suffers less from having a co-op in the area.

The Folly of China's Real-Estate Boom Was Easy to See, No One Wanted to Stop It
Suppose that applies to your open source because you are using a commercial split license and / or providing premium support or otherwise clearly commercialising the activity.

If you comply with all the CRA requirements (whatever they are) but the (free) USER of your software (user, not customer) gets hacked because of a security hole in one of your dependencies (that was not known) or a security hole in your own code (after all, is it possible to create something bulletproof) - are you liable for damages and what does it mean exactly in practice?

How does it differ from a situation where you offer proprietary software free of charge as a commercial activity? Can the right EULA protect you from receiving such damages. In order words, does it make the "THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND..." well-known license even worse from the liability standpoint than a proprietary license agreement?

Would it not even invalidate those licenses since the license text cannot comply with the law? This is a big blow to open source. It does not matter whether it's monetised or not, open source is open source. They are messing with the definition. And to achieve what effect? The biggest cybersecurity problem that dwarfs all others combined and one that especially governments should worry about is the fact that memory vulnerabilities are everywhere, everything from the OS, the web browser and most popular GCed language interpreters are built on C++. And someone as determined as the people behind xz could probably bypass this regulation, if it could be of any help (obstacle to the attacker) at all in the first place.

It does potentially shut down a project I have considered commercialising (like, I may release, as "hobby open source" and dump it because I otherwise have no incentive to give my free time). If for every paying customer I am to be liable for 100 - 1,000 non-paying users, no thanks. Maybe I would not do it anyway, I have something else in sight, but I was very serious to experiment with it since I have most of it built anyway and it's just this opportunity to try it out as a side gig for a couple years, taken away by some bureaucrats. I have yet to do some more research on this (check my question in the second paragraph) but it does not sound like fun.
Sorry for the typo. I meant "War means something, and it is not that". By "that" I mean the above claim that what the FDA is doing (or not doing) is some kind of war.

I don't mean to split hairs nor imply that I alone get to decide what words mean. But I do have good reasons to suggest that words matter and that we should pay attention to them.

I am saying that rational people seeking truth strive not to use phrases "waging war" in a spirit of rationally discussing an issue. The way it is used above doesn't shine light on the core issue. The phrase invites tribalism and gut reactions rather than reason.

At the very least, such a phrase (1) presumes intention; and (2) assigns blame. These are two additional claims beyond the claim of harm to people with ADHD. I think one can make a decent argument about how agencies with too much authority can cause harm without invoking the war metaphor. Invoking that metaphor makes it harder to discuss the issues that seems to be driving this (interesting) discussion. I would frame that issue broadly as: (A) To what degree do agencies have legal and rational authority to clarify ambiguous laws? (B) Given what we know about human nature and organizations, what are some possible downstream outcomes?

Again, I'm making the case that a sentence like "But people have different opinions", when offered in the sense of e.g. "and that's all we can really say about that" is a disservice to understanding. As I see it, we have much necessary work to do that has nothing to do with pointing to differences of opinion. I think we need more substantive truth-seeking. If we engage in that fully, yes, differences of opinion will remain, but they will likely be applied to more nuanced aspects of the issue. This would be a good thing. It would help us talk in clearer ways.

I hope you can see that I am not dismissing rational claims of harm. I am instead expressing concern about the rhetoric used.

If you find yourself disagreeing with me, it might help to know that (i) I generally push back against moral relativism. Also (ii) I don't assign moral worth to mere opinions. I assign moral worth to people and their well-being, not merely to any and all electrochemical fluctuations that we call thoughts and beliefs. To summarize, I respect the ability of people to have opinions, but I don't give those opinions some kind of fundamental moral weight.

Why? Many such opinions are unconnected with reality. Sometimes, they don't even make sense _for them_; i.e. for their own self-interest! Moreover, enlightened people who pay attention to their own thoughts can notice this -- it is not something I have to impose on them.

I see there are two big ways people approach success in life, either supporting others or pioneering some thing. This seems like a good way to look at priorities if you take the support approach. For pioneering, you just don’t know what is glass or plastic, that’s what you’re trying to figure out. I wouldn’t stretch this metaphor to cover that situation.

It's only a fixed 2d arrangement. It isn't any more expressive than the CSS table layout or position absolute+relative combos. It has no ability to react to size constraints in any other way than naive stretching and hitting min-width hard. It can't do anything "responsive" like wrapping items to the next line, or switching a grid from 1x6 to 2x3.

You can't make masonry in autolayout constraints, other than precomputing specific constraints for every item, which won't automatically reflow the items to a new container width.

This is amazing. It starts with rightly understanding that problems aren't actually as simple as they might seem from outside. But then it bizarrely seems to take that to conclude that our friends aren't trying for inertia or fear or something else, and so they just need to get unstuck.

It seems to me that the far more reasonable and understandable conclusion is that our friends are much like us. Things aren't as easy as they may seem from the outside.

> Making other peoples products less competitive by aggressively subsidising part of your business is not that cool of a move.

I don’t see it that way. Meta doesn’t have AI products, really, they have AI backend infrastructure. It’s like the Open Compute project for them, making their own infrastructure cheaper via openness, which seems perfectly cromulent to me. This could change.

Of course they’re doing good things out of self interest, but that’s how the system is supposed to work. It might even be preferable for us outside. Self interest tends to be more durable than altruism - particularly corporate altruism.
