Neither have any other tech loss leader businesses designed to create barriers to entry though sheer size of war chests. Amazon lost money on retail for decades, Google lost money on tons of side projects as a means of hiring talent away from would be start ups.

Wall Street doesn't care about fundamental value, it cares about capital gains realized through 'too-big-to-fail' structures which require high barriers to entry and require gross revenue to justify overinflated valuations (which have zero restrictions).

Anything you can’t replicate using given instructions isn’t valid or interesting information. Once machines can be made to understand this, they’ll know to ignore useless information like we (sometimes) do as humans. The situation is not beyond hope by any means if you ask me.
Oregon agrees.
I’ll suggest that’s the wrong optimization to make for an accessibility tool. Modern CPUs are more than capable of handling its speed requirements by several orders of magnitude (they can decode h265 in real time for gods sake without HW acceleration). And same goes for size.

It’s simply the wrong tuning tradeoff.

Running someones immune system or poisoning them is a fantastic way to get plausible deniability. No smoking gun...

Plausible Deniability is when a person's involvement or culpability in an event might be denied, or at least mitigated, by creating a situation where they can claim ignorance or an inability to act.
I'm actually not a libertarian. I guess I'm your standard European socialist: I'm all good taxing (us) rich and providing for the poor.

It still is a choice whether one chooses to work, as evidenced by those who chose not to.

Edit: the "luxuries" was slightly tongue in cheek and perhaps didn't land well. Anyway, you're free to move to the wilderness, hunt/grow your own food, build your own shelter, and do without the socio-economic system altogether.
Some do, but reliable percentage data on this topic seems to be hard to come by.

Not sure if you're sarcastic or not, but it was Heath Ledger, and his death was all over the news when he died right after filming of his Joker role, even here in Europe.

I love that movie, my favorite. So fun how it starts with We Will Rock you to convey that this is not a historic accurate movie, but somewhat also accurately portrays how the event itself was like a rock concert at the time.
Check out Minneapolis vs St Paul building permits before and after St Paul imposed rent control. Same geographic area with roughly the same demographics.

All else equal, rent control discourages investment in housing.

If the government wants to create more housing supply themselves and charge some capped rental amount, I am cool with that. But please don’t tell private property owners what they can charge.
FYI re: Mimic 3: the main developer Michael Hansen (a.k.a synesthesiam) (who also previously developed Larynx TTS) now develops Piper TTS (https://github.com/rhasspy/piper) which is essentially a "successor" to the earlier projects.

IIUC ongoing development of Piper TTS is now financially supported by the recently announced Open Home Foundation (which is great news as IMO synesthesiam has almost single-handed revolutionized the quality level--in terms of naturalness/realism--of FLOSS TTS over the past few years and it would be a real loss if financial considerations stalled continued development): https://www.openhomefoundation.org/projects/ (Ok, on re-reading OHF is more generally funding development of Rhasspy of which Piper TTS is one component.)

Wow.

Hope it accomplishes what they want because they’ve certainly had to spend a fortune to get to this point.

It keeps secrets out of your environment variables and lets you manage secrets the same way you do code (in lock-step with the code that uses it and as easy to update a secret just by pushing to git), but it's definitely for smaller teams or projects. It also has significantly fewer moving parts or dependencies.
>While we are many missing language features away from this being the case, the noalias case is also magic descended upon box itself, with no user code ever having access to it.

I'm not sure why the author thinks there's magic behind Box. Box is not a special case of `noalias`. Run this snippet with miri and you'll see the same issue: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

You don't see an assertion failure though because... dun dun dun it's UB.

The big publishers are always first in row. The circle of Google is simple. Spend a lot of ad money and you will be ranked high. Even the shitietst sites and apps from publishers like UEFA, Redbull etc are listed as top apps/sites. Their reviews are often super bad. Yet they are ranked high. Its because they spend money on Google ads.

Sounds like you're proposing one of two possible business models:
1. Pay a fixed price for the device at time of purchase that includes costs for services used in the future
2. Subsidize the physical device in favor of pricing the services at a margin to recoup costs for the device

Obviously if you don't care, it doesn't matter to you. But you not caring about objective reality versus your own vibes doesn't mean no one else has a valid reason to care. I personally would prefer my family photos not to contain machine generated hallucinations, because that doesn't actually represent reality.

But, just as obviously, you're correct that AI is going to force itself into every possible application and it doesn't matter.

I personally never said Israel is an ethnostate, but a Palestinian state is definitely not a mirror image of Zionism. It was never historically monoethnic and issues with Jews is a post-Israeli thing. Not to discount pre-Israel antisemitism or the Arab nationalism movement, but national identity was always tied to a pan-ethnicity rather than religion or bloodline.

Maybe a simple example of this is Armenians (Christian, non-Arab) who would receive full citizenship in Palestine but are still stateless today in Israel[0].

Oregon Trail Is Changing: We Share Less of Your Private Dysentery Information
Do you not want them connected, or do you not want the connections shared and potentially used against you?
Is this marketing nonsense? Or more Musk fantasist nonsense?

Because it doesn't seem to make much sense.
I make it a point to hit "block all from" anytime I see something shared, after two of those blocked I close Facebook. Like you I have a few friends who's life I want to keep up on. I don't want to see cats - unless it is their cat. I don't want to see a political meme - unless it is one they personally worked hard to create. I want to see their life, and that is often only available on Facebook (I could call that girl who lives in Alaska, but we never were close and if everyone liked me called for 30 seconds a day just to see if anything of interest happened nobody would have time to do anything else.)

When I work alone it disappears in the statistics. However I'm hoping more people start acting like me - enough that Facebook notices and starts giving an option to only see the life of my friends and if there isn't anything just let me go back to living. Right now they keep me scrolling for the friend I haven't seen in ages who might have posted something but the algorithm decides I don't want to see it even though I do.
As another data point: I used Fedora Silverblue for a couple years, switched to Kinoite (Silverblue - Gnome + KDE) without reinstalling a couple months ago, and updated to 40 last week, and everything seems to be working fine. While I can't vouch for Gnome, the only KDE migration bug I noticed was that the update slightly rearranged the items on one of my custom panels and reset my desktop wallpaper (the latter may not be a bug).

As for development/hackability: you need to understand ostree, rpm-ostree, and flatpak fundamentals, not be afraid to layer packages where containerization is impossible or inconvenient, and accept that cookie-cutter configuration recipes intended for other distros aren't likely to work.

I'd also recommend distrobox over the bundled toolbox for managing distro environment containers, because useful additional features.

With all that said, I've been using Silverblue+Kinoite daily as a development (Linux + Windows in libvirt-managed VM) system for over a year without no regrets whatsoever, and only trivial complications (e.g., running a trivial shell script to rewrite JetBrains Toolbox-created .desktop files so JetBrains IDEs run in my preferred distrobox container when launched via GUI).

As a shout-out to another Fedora immutable distro, I've also switched to Fedora CoreOS for new home office network service deployments and this has been similarly pleasant and hassle-free.
Welp, I'm so glad I wrote "at least one person", and not "one person" in my note in the OP :D
Reddit, LinkedIn, and Quora have seen a roughly 2,000% combined visibility increase in Google Search in the last 12 months. All three sites amount to around ~3 billion search traffic as estimated by tools like Semrush and Ahrefs (the total combined traffic is more in the ~5-7 billion range by my estimates). All three sites get manipulated with AI - Reddit for product reviews, and LinkedIn and Quora do it by pre-generating millions of topics (they disclose it is done with AI) and then inviting users to "contribute".

Forbes recently started blocking sections of their sites[0] because in the next few days Google will release an update[1] that is intended to address the authority abuse talked about in the HouseFresh article.

But I don't get the first part, the blatant AI spam and search result manipulation that is hurting the average blogger who can get thrown out entirely because an algorithm deemed it so. But that same algorithm rewards the bullshit I mention above.

Can someone explain the logic here?

Congrats! This is useful. Back when I was CTO of a SaaS this required a patchwork of solutions and a lot of thought.
Sort of a difficult question to answer if I'm being honest, because I'm kind of a strange outlier case.

I was a dropout for almost a decade, but managed to find work at big corporations somehow [1], and the entire time I was pretty obsessed with learning CS theory; partly because I liked it and partly because it made interviews easier. By the time I had decided to finish school and enroll in WGU, I already had roughly a bachelors' degree of education in CS anyway. And that's not just a pseudo-intellectual assertion on my end, I finished all my classes in a single term, most classes were completed in a week.

I don't think it's helped my job prospects much; I had already had senior level positions at Apple and Jet.com/Walmart Labs by the time I went back to school, and I suspect that they look better on my resume than a bachelors in CS from WGU.

(If you're curious, the reason I went back at all was so I would be qualified for a PhD program, which as far as I can tell universally requires at least a bachelors, and usually a masters, so I just wanted to check off a box. I'm not 100% sure why I wanted a PhD; I think my brain had fetishized professorships and CS research)

So it's tough to answer directly. I think for someone starting out today a degree from WGU is better than no degree, and I think the education they gave was "just fine". If you're ok with not working in Wall Street, it's enough to get you to the interview phase. If your goal is to work in Wall Street or to become a lawyer, it's probably better holding off until you can get into a "brand name" school.

I'm happy enough in my current position and they don't really care where I went to school, but I do believe that they had a firm requirement for a bachelors (I don't bother checking), and I like my current gig so it's probably worth it.

[1] I dropped out in 2012, which turned out to be just about the best time to drop out. It seems like everyone on earth suddenly had a smartphone and there was a shortage of engineers as a result.

Seeing the download options was really reassuring. It did clearly address my lock-in concerns / worries about having to re-type everything into a new app :)

Looking at it again you do have screenshots of 3 phones near the top of the page. I think I kinda ignored that because the rest of the page didn't talk about that. I'm gonna blame my mental "ignore in-page advertising" filter for not really noticing the screenshots.

Maybe have screenshots under the 'create/perform/schedule/delegate' items too, so it's clear that you're using an app to do all this? (And what the app looks like, and the UI / UX it provides?). I myself dunno, but good luck with this, and thank you for listening to our feedback!

We don’t know if this wafer is a good investment or not. It really depends on what its performance and cost are compared to the performance and cost of other solutions.
