Well, not like the onion could get any worse (frankly) so I’m hopeful. I think this world would do fine with a bit more self depreciating and satirical humor.
I'm confused by your questions. Are you suggesting that ignoring the structure of government carefully laid out in the constitution and agreed upon by every state in the union is more democratic because you like the outcome?

This is happening in an election year, so the office of the presidency is driving this for political reasons. I sincerely doubt you'd be comfortable having someone you disagree with politically wield the same powers in the same way.
For the math that would mean after 8x he’s now making ~111k. Depending on the place he lives this may very well not be keeping pace with COL
True! Hydro would contribute, and likely geothermal as well. Probably also some generation from the methane generated by composting garbage at scale.
I remember my first introduction to the onion was the print edition at my university. What a great publication- and they authored what has to be the best amicus brief to the Supreme Court ever. https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22/22-293/242292/2022...
That was their design to be agile. Regulations can get passed in 100 days and not years.
Agreed.

What is interesting is that this is of the era when he mentioned that Americans tended to talk about how many lines of code their compiler had. He claimed that Europeans tended to emphasize how few lines their compiler had.
I had a colleague talking this up for AAA gaming today. I'm not convinced but also, fuck yeah, happy to hope for better.

By far the worse scariest shittiest part of our unchecked lobbyist-lead capitalism is consolidation, is less and less options being out there. Healthy capitalism requires competition, but the big keep eating the young, and the Zeus titanomancy versus the elders opportunities keep happening less and less.
I had a client who had quite a decent network, but was always having issues. Upon investigating and subsequently asking him how he designed his last mile, he pointed us at the facebook wisp operators group. He was servicing high value customers with large dedicated speeds, based on a network design that kind of works for servicing trailer parks in rural USA. Mostly because the loudest voices in the space come from the jankiest moron wisp operators.

The issue is that a lot of the advice is bad, the good advice costs money and is indistinguishable for the lay person from the bad advice, and its very easy to access terrible advice. This website isn't terrible, but it would serve to pay for the best advice possible before spending even more money on the wrong hardware in the wrong area.
Not going to pay 50 bucks to read that article, but if the term "populist anger" is used there in its common meaning, it's not about "other side" at all. It's mainly about people feeling supposedly representative government has abandoned any pretense of representing the population and their interests, and that understandably makes some people feel bad about it. It's not about pissing off some imaginary opponent, it's about making the persons taking decisions hear what the population is concerned about. And yes, a lot of people supported Trump because they thought - and think (correctly or incorrectly) that Trump is more attentive to these concerns than the alternatives.

What if I am writing capital-B Black out of respect, though, for that unique ethnic group? Like, even if I recognize that I was part of the problem, or that is somehow still not ideal, but I am trying to make the situation a little bit better?
10 years ago I took a few months between jobs during which I was able to estimate how much money our family of 4 would need per year to maintain a modest middle class lifestyle. That number turned out to be around 130k _after_ taxes. And that was a decade ago, it’s probably close to $170-180k now. I frankly don’t understand how people with five figure incomes are able to even survive in our neck of the woods. And yeah, with the real inflation being as high as it is right now, if I do decide to retire, I’ll have to move to a much cheaper country even though I’m financially very well off. The exponent does that to ya.
Well there was that time they dumped 1.1 billion gallons of fly ash slurry into a river, just off the top of my head.

When I lived in the midwest I vaguely recall people complaining about them for other reasons (but PGE seems to be doing more for people to bitch about. Or more precisely, doing less than they should).

I have the vaguest of recollections of foot dragging around coal plant emissions but that could just be the 1.1 BILLION GALLONS of fly ash water talking.
He wants to be Marc Benioff so bad.
In fact, just yesterday, I came across this video on Reddit where a group of people are fleeing after stealing detergent powder and other essentials from a store. One of the comments mentioned how there are organized gangs who sell these items to unscrupulous businesses.

Don't Starlink satellites only last 5 years? I'm not sure it's a sustainable solution compared to towers and lain cable.
These days it would be considered a problematic allusion to people with cognitive or emotional issues.
But I'm guessing we're agreed that video and books have been treated seperately and that limitations on availability have been applied to film|video content by a Federal US Government despite a "free speech" ammendment?

Which really is all that is sufficient to establish the point that free speech has categories and that video has been treated in as a seperate category to the spoken word and both to the written word.

The claim that free speech is equally and equivilantly { film , speech , writing } in the USofA is false in law.

They overlap to a large degree, but not perfectly.

There is precedent for limiting video content within a free speech society.
_By default_ GPT gives the average advice. You can prompt it to take perspectives that will lead it to give very different advice.
IF running software is what matters, there's dosemu2 and dosbox-x.

Good luck to everyone not on the US economic team
As someone who recently asked our QA team to change the name of one of our test suites from "sanity test" to "quick test", maybe I can provide some perspective.

Many software developers like me have faced challenges to our mental health.

Indeed, there has been a time or two when I questioned my own sanity. And perhaps the sanity of some of my colleagues!

It's not so much that there is something inherently wrong with the term "sanity check". We all know what it means. It's just that there are more descriptive and neutral terms available to us, so why not use them?
Not the best, he optimized the company to the point that it could no longer improve. That was good. However, he used the company's assets to back financial businesses that he and the company had no experience in. He goosed the company's profit during the good times but almost bankrupted it during the bad times. Basically, he leveraged the company for short-term gains while endangering the company long-term. That's not the mark of a great leader.
According to some it's ableist language, e.g.: https://developers.google.com/style/inclusive-documentation#...

Not really interested in discussing this and not saying I agree (or disagree!) with that. Just answering the question.
I guess the issue is that content creators ripped Nintendo assets and included them in their Garry's mod creations, is that right? Hope I didn't misread that.

If so, I'm somewhat surprised that a takedown notice can be so expansive as to include all GM content, and not just individually enumerated creations. I'm sure there are dozens or hundreds of IP violating Garry's Mod creations, but also thousands that don't. If there was just one single example of a Garry's Mod user that ripped a single sprite from a single Nintendo game, would that also necessitate a takedown of everyone's content?

That is indeed the entire point of the thread. I fear your reading comprehension is not up to this task.

Anyways, I don’t have a twitter but you can feel free.
Curious if others have the same experience. I saw one of their software engineering job postings a while back and was thinking about applying
I'm curious to learn more about what your customers look like, what sorts of businesses and activities they are in. Where stripe's customers are working on products unrelated to payments, yours are working on products related to payments? I'm having trouble conceiving of examples.
Really? I found Canada one of the least regulated. Although there were a few weird hoops.

Out of ~10 countries I have supported WISP's in, I have never seen a country with less of a barrier to entry.

We did have a theory that our customers were rural, and that the cities might present different issues. But trying to do what they did in Australia would be add 2 zeroes to the end of every cost.
I honestly don't blame them. Couple of reasons.

First, having your assets in Garry's Mod is, in my opinion, a ticking time bomb for those assets going viral. This can be good, however in Nintendo's case their target market is kids and naturally they want tight control over the (squeaky clean) image of their characters. They have spent decades building that brand recognition and association.

Second, the only people who are going to get angry about this are Turbo-nerds, and Nintendo has already turned their back on Turbo-nerds. The overlap between people who are mad about this and who were already mad about Yuzu has to be substantial.

I don't know. I think this sucks, and it's particularly sucky that they just filed a DMCA action and didn't contact the developer directly. I feel bad for Gary.

All in all, it seems that they want to send a message that messing with The Plumber is just about as bad as messing with The Mouse.

This is a splash of cold water if you're familiar with who Ben Collins is.

This will not not be a return to The Onion you fondly remember. Most likely it will be a continuation in the same direction it's been going.
I was thinking more their attempts at Cloud but your version is more sardonic.
Americans retirement plan should be to learn Spanish and save some money to live in Latin America. There are pretty good places where the QOL is good to retire.

Around 20 years ago I lived in La Paz BCS Mexico (small city near Los cabos). There was a decent number of old Caucasian folks chilling out at the malecon (broadwalk) everyday.

That place is more expensive now, but there are others in central/south America with good cost/qol
Could this be run in the browser (via wasm, lets say) as a base layer service to build decentralized versions of twitter/facebook/etc on top of?
Trademarks must be actively defended to be maintained. Nintendo has to either do this or hand out free license to all of the creators. Even doing that could be used against them in the future, I suspect.

Doing nothing would literally cost them their company, because without exclusive rights to Super Mario, Zelda and so forth, they're just a manufacturer of subpar hardware.

I hate that Grindr is useful. There are alternatives, but if you live outside a bit city where there aren’t gay bars or LGBT events it’s pretty much the only option for easily meeting other gay guys within reasonable travel distance. They’ve got ABYSMAL privacy practices, and I also don’t like how they used RTO as a bludgeon to interrupt their employees’ attempt to unionize, but it’s where the people are. Network effects are a bitch.
We are now using a self-hosted Gitlab-CE instance to manage issues. It does not have so many configurable features like Jira. But the performance is much better than the Jira. We are all happy about moving away from the stupid Atlassian family bucket.

> Look up the comment tree to the original question you responded to. Teaching kids gradeschool-level math/science is not the same thing as helping with homework

Your reading comprehension is as poor as your communication skills. Teaching them things they don't know to shore up what they learned in class is EXACTLY what helping them with their homework is about.

Child: "I don't understand X."

Parent: "Well, let's go over your materials to help you understand what X is."

This is NORMAL. It is also TEACHING.

> There's far more consternation about "discovery-based learning" curriculums and disruption in classrooms.

I can tell you've never been a parent or spoken to parents.

LOL.

We've been hacking up using generated code at https://lutra.ai

The idea is to use LLMs to generate glue code between applications/APIs; making it easy to connect different apps together (e.g., you can scrape websites directly into google sheets; get it to classify gmails, etc.)

Experience so far -- model quality really matters. Claude Opus does surprisingly a lot better than GPT4Turbo. Creating good abstractions matter. Syntax, type checking matters. Models do get stuck sometimes, and GPT4 often gets lazy (placeholder/comments instead of actual code).
It does not disallow charging consumers for traffic used. But why should they be able to charge for it twice?
> This is based on the false premise that the only stable thing for an economy is growth.

Are you sure it's false? I'd like to believe that we could just have the generation being born replace the generation that's dying. But when you're saving for retirement will the inflation adjusted price of your stocks go up?

There are a lot of interesting details to look at. For instance, housing: With population size fixed, once a country has built enough housing, you'd only build new houses if you're going to tear another one down. Maybe this results in better housing over the long run, and maybe it results in the construction industry diminishing.

"Fully" is anything but fully. It is an unrealisable ideal.

Money is not fungible across currencies or across time or in different locations or a wide variety of different characteristics. Even 1USD at the same time in the same place can have have different values depending on how/where it is stored ($1 on credit card, $1 in USDT, $1 note at a place that doesn't accept cash, $1 silver coin, $1 in Argentina, $1 promised, etcetera).

Even "fuels of the same specs" are not really fungible. Only approximately on some markets. Russian oil? Fungible is an ideal and markets are designed to try and get closer to the ideal but markets and specs are nowhere near perfect.
Ground up projects like this are fascinating!

It’s also neat how “ground” has been deepening. It used to mean building mainframe from source. Then building a compiler. Now building from logic gates.

How much deeper can you get? Building a mainframe out of Gödel numbers?

I don't know any of the context around that tweet, but The Onion has obviously chosen the most innocent, blameless celebrity they could think of to make sure it's a clear joke to everyone, right? Like finding the skinniest person and calling them obese.

The writer of that article seems to have still somehow misunderstood and come to the conclusion that The Onion actually hates Quvenzhané Wallis. I wonder if they really don't get it, or if they're just sort of performatively not getting it for the outrage article.
That is the goal. The price increases, cost of living increases and the gentrification that is brought by tourism in certain places in Europe are so high that "tourist go home" became a common graffiti and the locals are livid.

https://www.thestar.com.my/lifestyle/travel/2023/10/09/fed-u...

“The Brits and Germans are the worst, they make our lives hell here,” the pensioner yells, after a group of young tourists fails to move out of the way on the narrow pavement. Her insults are met with cheers from a group of elderly gentleman sitting in a nearby café.

“I spit on the scum from my balcony,” one of them says to the jeers of his friends.

The beef that the young have with tourists is more life-affecting: They get gentrified out of being able to rent or buy housing in the neighborhoods that they grew up in. Either through housing moving to become airbnbs or through rich foreigners buying out houses. The latter relates more to golden visas and digital nomads though. Ah, and yes, 'digital nomad go home' also started to appear as a graffiti as well.
Do the PhD for yourself-- for your satisfaction. Chances are that you'll get your PhD but you will still need to hustle outside academia to find a business partner. If you don't have a big desire to get a PhD then it's probably best to skip it and start to actively search for a co-founder now.

Windows 2000 was a pretty great OS. Used to enjoy using a Litestep shell instead of explorer. While it wasn't great for a lot of games, many did run fine. I liked it a lot better than OS/2 that I ran previously.

I generally ran 2-4x the amount of RAM as most did. Still do. Pretty sure this made a lot of the difference.
It stopped being true after the Romney loss. They wrote a report [1] that basically outlined the fact that due to demographic trends and the makeup of Republican electorate, the RNC would have to start becoming a big tent, multicultural party in order to succeed in the future.

The decided exactly the opposite -- they elected Trump and decided to become a party based on white Christian grievance.

Where are you getting that $150M spent on RSU grants per year from? Unless I'm missing it, I don't see that in the report and it seems way too low.

Let's say the average engineer gets $100k/year in RSUs. (I would guess the actual number is higher.) That would only cover 1500 engineers.
I have this same thought whenever I'm in traffic. They need to figure out how to get all these people out of my way.
Perhaps this release is not for historical research purposes.
Sure. So they are pulling down 20 years of content based on their IP. So when did they start handing out free licenses? Year 21? 25?
Nintendo's strictness with its image reminds me of Bill Cosby, who was so particular about how he was presented that he got his lawyers to order the shutdown of Justin Roiland's "House of Cosbys" cartoon.

Well, we know now why Cosby was like that.

There are probably secrets about Nintendo that only the board and the yakuza members who sit in on board meetings know, and they're not telling.
