Privatization, Union-busting, cutting social services, trickle-down economics, increasing military budgets and foreign interventions.
Among else, they championed deregulation and trickle-down economics (aka Reaganomics).

In the discussed case, this translates to: We don't need a social housing policy because it "distorts" the market. And it doesn't matter that housing is turned into a money-making machine for the select few, because the wealth generated by tourism will eventually trickle down to society via the generated jobs.
I'm surprised they don't mention grouped query attention at all.
Housing is more regulated then ever in developed countries. What are talking about?
depends. i'd be writing the client such that it just lists all the fields, and then add special handling for the fields that need it. when the backend adds new fields, they will just show up and i just need to fix the formatting. with graphql i'd have to ask for those new fields, and thus make changes in two places. and in addition the backend team has to tell the frontend team about the new fields (instead of letting the api speak for itself), making it easier to accidentally skip a field.
I have an app and I'm trying to figure out the pricing.

I’m offering a one-time in app purchase of life-time subscription. Currently it costs 6x the monthly subscription cost.

I'm worried that makes it too expensive for a simple app, at the same time lowering it would make the monthly subscription less sensible.

I'm curious if anyone has indie experience and thoughts regarding this.
Counterpoint: you can't separate technology, especially powerful/influential products like OpenAI's, without talking about their governance.

The ethics of OpenAI directly affect my career and life. They affect the future elections, art, my dad's pension fund, and many other things I care about.

Discussing Altman as person helps us understand what he might do with is near-complete control over the ethics of OpenAI.

I don't understand the downvotes here either. This is a solid take, we like to talk about it as culture loss but the truth is that cities and regions are constantly changing. With only tourism of course prices and experiences are going to be crafted for tourists.

I would imagine there needs to be direct coupling between the transducer and the container holding the coffee, the water layer likely doesn't transfer nearly as much.

Probably best to just get a stainless cup, glue the transducer(s) to it and let it rip.
that is awesome! When it began development I never really thought PyPy would work this well, it reminds me a bit of GraalVM in that "high-arcane" magic voodoo sense of compiler/runtime development. It took 17 years of dedicated effort to get here, but the result is really impressive.
Skill issue in my case, but I kept fighting against the caching of whatever GraphQL library I was using.

Made the dev experience a nightmare because I could never be sure whether it was my code or the client cache or the (actively in beta) server that was causing me to get back wrong data.
I had a similar thing happen to one of my websites. In Varnish I used something like this:

if (req.http.host ~ "^(?i)(example.com|www.example.com)") {
#redirect to https
}
else {
return(synth(403, "Not allowed."));
}

It basically checks if the host is my domain. I don’t know know what the equivalent of `req.http.host` is on the web server you use. This "solution" might run into issues with Google Translate, but I’m not sure.
Oh they’re referencing the fork and not base PyPy, which is still about performance?
> It doesn't make the tech look bad, but to me it makes the safety driver & the other executive look callous and uncaring.

The safety driver was Anthony Levandowski, who left Google for Uber, taking with him a bunch of stolen IP, at Uber ran a cowboy self-driving car division that got pedestrians killed, Levandowski got sued by Google, ended up in prison and Uber laid off the entire division. Later he was pardoned by Trump.

So good news - the callous and uncaring safety driver has been fired, sued, and imprisoned.

> “I can understand that we need to sell our country to capitalize it because we are poor, but it can be sold to attract luxury tourism and not low-cost tourism,”

This is unfortunately what it comes down to. Every tourist destination wants to be one for luxury tourists. I understand this on an emotional level, but it requires rolling back access to tourism and taking it away from the economically disfavored population.

Rich people will benefit because there are too many poor people for mass tourism.

Not make the advance? I don't know what you're suggesting, but I don't think trying to shift the blame onto the recepient of an advance is the right move, regardless if it is a man or a woman.

There are certainly ways to mitigate the chance of one of those consequences happening, i.e. taking the time to see if there are mutual feelings between you and the other person instead of shooting a shot without any sort of idea if the feeling is reciprocated or not.
Nothing you said contradicts the original message at all though.

It's also true that the british government has some of the lowest support in history, losing the popular vote many times over and only attained power (marginally) due to vote splitting and gerrymandering.

It's not fair to say that "the british people want to bring back mandatory military service" (for example) because the conservative governments do, and the situation in Israel is even more dire in that regard.

You can get the shadow stack pointer using the RDSSPQ instruction. The kernel documentation shows how the shadow stack size is obtained for the main thread. Threads created explicitly using clone3 have the specified shadow stack size. I think this is sufficient to determine the shadow stack boundaries.

Regarding older CPUs, what I wanted to point out is that the code to enable and maintain shadow stacks will not be smeared across the instruction stream (unlike using APX instructions, or direct use of LSE atomics on AArch64). It's possible to execute the shadow stack code only conditionally.
yeah, it's cool! (it's actually not)

Has it though? They've come an impressively long way to have 50,000 rides a week, but that needs to increase a thousand fold to justify the $6B of venture capital and $30B valuation. That's a lot of cars and a lot more work than it takes Uber to bring on another underpaid owner driver (Uber has 23 million rides per day)

Michael, initially I thought it was kind of a naive idea that wouldn't take off because there are so many tried and true and enterprise class alternatives. They are pretty clunky though.

The immense care and diligence you have put into setting this up means the new buyers will have a great launching point with few surprises.

Multisync – The Missing Protocol of the Internet [pdf]
This is a remarkably reductive and unsophisticated take. Businesses acting "greedier" and rents shooting up has correlated very strongly with the DIRECT inputs of stock prices and property values; in other words, artificially low interest rates and artificially high liquidity. Naturally, these sorts of reality-warping forces will feed into a more hostile low-trust culture.

You'd have to prove that there's something particularly special about urban decay as opposed to rural decay, and rural decay is a very strong force in the Western world. Where I am in the USA, rural properties and home prices are skyrocketing, the original communities are being hollowed out, old folks are dying to fentanyl while their grandchildren fly off to urban centers around the country, and investment firms gobble up huge amounts of land. It's just as greedy and unaffordable as the urban landscape.

We have systemic changes with robust explanatory power, and I already gave two. People's character tends to reflect the environment they are trying to survive in; try not to look at people's behavior as a cause, but a symptom.

Someone said "Apple re-activated a password sharing system and that's bad because I intentionally turned it off"- I agree.

To-wit someone responded: "Well, actually I think Apple are going to do a better job of handling passwords" - which, I do not agree with given the context of reactivating the feature silently.
>Portugal and Spain are going to be taken over by gdp/person by Czech republic and Poland. Very poor countries in 90s.

The Eastern block countries had their little economic miracle by having their monopoly board reset thanks to the fall of the USSR and all the communist regimes in Europe which caused insane levels of poverty in the 90s, especially amongst the old age workers, before things could get better.

Spain and Portugal and any other EU country can't and don't want to have such a hard reset with a decade of poverty and bankruptcies, since every country is now about building wealth, not destroying it, all about maintaining the status quo and the generational wealth. You'll see, it will be the same in Czechia in ~30 years when the current gen of well-off young workers retires and the economic miracle growth slows down and start shafting the younger generations who will face high property prices and little job prospects like Spain and Portugal today, and you'll probably also vote to keep your wealth instead of going through another reset like in the 90s'.

> Spain has amazing weather, could be europe tech capital if they only could get their taxes and labor laws in order.

That amazing weather is their own "Dutch disease" meaning the economy is far too dependent on tourism and getting wealthy people from abroad to buy properties there, not invest in creating new jobs.

Also, personally I don't find Spanish weather too amazing. Summers are far too hot outside the beachfront areas to be pleasant to live there. Not everyone loves scorching hot sunt and 35+ Celsius outside for months needing to seek shelter at indoor AC.

I think an aggravating factor in the software world (that's maybe not as prevalent in other fields), is that developers tend to want to use the latest and newest technologies, even if said technology is not really appropriate for the task. It looks good on your resume to say that you used the same technology Facebook uses - the ol' "resume driven development".

Aseprite is a very good product! For me personally I don't like the interface but that's just personal taste and maybe there are others out there who might prefer something like what I've created, I would hope so. Lightcube imports PSD which last I checked Aseprite doesn't do(?), text editing is inline as opposed to a text field in a window and the shape tool includes isometric ellipse which is pain in the butt to draw. Bottom line is 80% of any pixel art editor is the same functionality as any other editor, but once you've established that you can start to add on the innovative ideas and start to differentiate. Well, that's the plan anyhow. Either way, competition is a good thing!

So it seems like a corrollary of this would be that people do not remember what they do not understand and what they can not place in context, which could explain a lot of human behavior. If you do not understand something it mostly does not exist for you, you never remember it and never think about it. This is why complexity is used to hide and deceive.

The answer is SpaceX is being held at a low headcount strategically.

So, here when we rotate the triangle, we are essentially rotating each of the endpoints. For each endpoint, we rotate it by 180 degrees around the line segment joining the endpoint and the center. This by definition will result in a new position for each endpoint that creates a chord (as the two endpoints lie on the circle) and passes through the center (we rotated around it). A chord that passes through the center is by definition a diameter.
