The reality is that actually getting your rights is often an enormous hassle, in terms of time, money, and/or stress.

If you're BigCorp™® with a Lawyer Department then that's not really a problem: you just send it off to the lawyers and continue with your day. If you're a private individual and/or small business: it very quickly becomes a trade-off.

So imagine SourceHut sues. And they win. And losing shipping company has to pay all of sourcehut's fees. There is a very real non-zero chance they will just say "lol nope, fuck you". And then what? Basically nothing you can do about it. Even in domestic cases this is true, international cases even more so.

In reality a lot of the world runs on goodwill and voluntary adherence to the rules, with not all that much little stopping bad actors from abusing things.

It does kind of concern me that as a society we've just kind of decided that Ponzi schemes are fine as long as we have some fancy Silicon Valley branding attached to it. WeWork is the most glaring example of a company that seemed to operate something Ponzi-adjacent and just kept growing on that until they became public and then became the shareholder's problem.

There are practical reasons why we build less ‘beautiful’ buildings.

1. First, beauty is subjective and many of these so-called ‘ugly’ buildings will be considered attractive decades in the future. Think Brooklyn Brownstones or New England triple deckers, both considered scourges at one time.

2. Labor costs. It’s relatively expensive to build ornate masonry buildings in high-wage economies. Overall, this is a good thing.

3. Zoning. It’s difficult to get approval for most building projects, doubly so if the building is in some was unique or unusual . Developers go with has been approved before.

4. Survivorship bias. Old, ugly buildings were torn down long ago, leaving the relatively attractive standing.

There is no need to conjure up half-baked, speculative, psychological theories like the author does.

Fully agree on toxic chemicals.

When you get a workflow down and need quantity, though, resin is cool. Since it exposes the whole bed at once, I can, for example, pull 24 small prints off of a small printer every 1 hour. 2 days of production, and I have hundreds, using just one printer. With FDM, this particular part, FDM couldn't even make, but if it could, it'd be more like 15 minutes per part - would need a small print farm to keep up with literally one $150 printer.

I don't even have a space for the resin printer right now, though. It really needs a dedicated and well-thought-out station to keep the toxic stuff from ruining your day.
I thoroughly enjoy shifting through the 1000's of CD in the many thrift shops in my town, hunting for nostalgia from the 90's and early 2000's! I have also discovered some 'new' music this way.

Initially I started ripping CD's to FLAC and building my offline music library, using Navidrome to make it available on my phone and laptop, but then I found a classic CD-player and started listening to them in my living room, like in the good old days. From start to finish.

In the age of Spotify, I have really found myself missing the slight friction of physical media, the tactile aspect and the focused listening experience.

Maybe I should go all in and buy some cassettes as well?

The JS resurrection was not related to the zombies, as JS was able to resume a normal life.

(Zombies violate the laws of physics, like conservation of energy, which makes it sad that most zombie movies try on some hackneyed explanation for them being the result of some virus. If you're going to try a scientific explanation for them, don't blatantly violate fundamental laws of physics.)

I've seen this across most companies I've tried reporting stuff to, two examples.

Sniffies (NSFW - gay hookup site) was at one point blasting their internal models out over a websocket, this included IP, private photos, salt + password [not plaintext], reports (who reported you, their message, etc), internal data such as your ISP and push notification certs for sending browser notifications. First line support dismissed it. Emails to higher ups got it taken care of in < 24 hours.

Funimation back in ~2019(?) was using Demandware for their shop, and left the API for it basically wide open, allowing you to query orders (with no info required) getting Last 4 of CC, address, email, etc for every order. Again frontline support dismissed it. This one took messaging the CTO over linkedin to get it resolved < a week (thanksgiving week at that).

People who want to subtract themselves to what Central Bankers (who are de-facto unelected Sovreigns) are doing have no other option if not for crypto and gold.

In general what you say about scams and money laundering could also be concomitant...how do you think Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan arrived to be the companies they are today? They were pulling so many scams and laundring especially during the 1880-2011 period. And quite frankly also after the touted post GFC regulations they keep laundering and breaking laws (Credit Suisse, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan etc, they all had a major multi billion dollar scandal or more in the aftermath of the GFC)

People aren't stupid, they can see how nowadays Central Banks, Governments, big Commercial Banks, big tech are all about stability AKA the winners realize that they won and want to prevent other spins at the roulette, actually ideally they want to close all the tables in the Casino so they'd be the perpetual winners from now on.

If you zoom out and see the picture from 30.000ft you might guess how some scams and laundering option for the common person isn't the worst thing that can happen when the powers that be want to freeze everything in place and sit on their winnings (while also continuing to break the law , scamming and laundering money)

People in 2024 -> This indulgent new cathedral is made from the exploitation of the masses and is a symbol of a something-phobic regime. Seize their assets!

This also works on an individual level, especially online - being novel makes you a target, so instead everyone chooses to be boring.

I just wanted to point out the logical gymnastics you just performed here: I find it true, thus it is true universally.

Your initial premise: "I find that literature that requires work does not provide more food or insight into the human condition..."

Your conclusion from this premise: "If complexity is not what makes the work valuable, what purpose does it serve?"

And you answer your own question with a cynical take: "I posit that for some people complexity for the sake of complexity _is_ the appeal."

Yea, smaller and medium sized companies just don't have the recruiting infrastructure to weed out the fakers. When I worked in FAANG companies, by the time a candidate got to me, they were pretty good. They went through enough filters and checkpoints and annoying gates that I never really had to do a FizzBuzz equivalent.

When I worked for more medium sized companies, I'd get software engineering candidates who obviously did not even remotely know how to code. Imagine the worst possible software candidate, and then lower your expectation even further. One couldn't even tell me what an "int" was. I think a single "for loop on a whiteboard" question would filter out at least 50% of candidates.

> What you seem to mean is that you don't like their boyfriends and are upset you can't jail them.

I truly hope this isn't a genuine comment, but I'll reply assuming your comment was in good faith. Not going to lie I probably would have punched you in the face had you said this to me IRL though.

Part of the problem was that many of the girls groomed were 16-18 so it was very hard to prove rape and coercion.

Like most people from working class backgrounds I know a couple of girls who were groomed...

At the start these girls are made to feel special because there's a guy in his 30s spending money on them and buying them gifts. These guys take these girls out for food and to the cinema and eventually the girls will develop feelings for their abusers. At this point they coerce the girls into sexual acts and isolate them from friends and family.

One of the girls I know who was abused genuinely thought her abuser loved her, and it wasn't until a couple of years later when she was in her late teens that she started to understand the extent of abuse she was subjected to.

While you're right that rape is illegal, it's not always clear to someone in the moment that they were raped – this is even more true of children. If a 16 year old child does something sexual because a much older person asks them to do it, is that because they're truly consenting or because they don't understand the situation they're in?

I'm a guy, but when I was a teenager I was dating a girl that was quite abusive looking back on it, but I loved her so I allowed her to do it and honestly in the moment I didn't even really understand what was happening. In my case it was "just" emotional abuse, but the same can obviously be true of physical abuse too.

Were it illegal for older men to have sex with children in the UK then it would have been far easier to have put an end to the abuse.

But either way, you're just wrong on this. At this point it's uncontroversial that these young girls were sexually abused. The comment you made, however is a common defence made by the abusers. Anyone with any first hand experience of would know they were not boyfriends. In fact, these men were often married and lying to the girls about their relationship status.

Correct, it depends on the observation. Both sides have adaptive optics correction, but they work independently. This particular instrument (SHARK-VIS) is mounted on the "right" side, while SHARK-NIR is on the "left" side.

> If they fail fizzbuzz I generally just turn the interview into a chat or give them easy questions to practice, rather than say "yeah no thanks", because I feel like the latter is a bit mean, and everyone can benefit from interview practice.

It’s kind to politely ramp the interview down in that case but I’ve learned to then cut off any later interviews. It’s a waste of the company’s time and the candidate’s too.

If we were going to have lunch the recruiter takes them to lunch anyway, unless the (now former) candidate doesn’t want to.
People don’t need to eat 10’s of kilos of plants per day which should suggest your off by an order of magnitude.

Chemistry means converting 1kg of CO2 > O2 would mean removing ~273 grams of carbon. Hydrogen and Wet vs dry weight more than offsets this, but you’re at closer to 2kg than tens of kilos.

This still assumes an air tight system where people never leave home, so plants can make a difference long before they are a 1:1 replacement.
So say they mark them down to some reasonable level — they are still supply constrained and now the line just gets longer. It doesn’t really fix anything.

Pricing allows them to prioritize their customers, which seems reasonable.

Sorry I'm not a big expert in the field of optics, but I am aware of our cameras being used to perform adaptive optics and lucky imaging.

Adaptive optics in particular requires very fast framerates and low latency to make rapid adjustments to the mirror's shape to compensate for the constantly changing atmosphere. It's really amazing that it's possible at all! I believe this is the method used here, though I can't say with certainty.

Lucky imaging is more akin to a brute force method, where you acquire lots and lots of images quickly and process the best ones when the atmosphere was being particularly cooperative at the time and not distorting the image very much.

Again, there are lots of experts out there on the topic, this is just my simple view into it.
I just assumed the interviewers were incompetent.

Here is a list if things to NOT say when interviewing for a job:

* I can not talk to you anymore. I need to talk to someone who is competent.

* Are you in drugs?

* Is there a technical person here that I can speak with?

* I need a list of the drugs you have taken in the last 48 hours.

* Are you serious?

* Are you hallucinating? Nobody said that. I think you need help.

* No. This job is not worth being humiliated by someone who is so innumerate that they have to put things back at the grocery store checkout.

When someone borgs[1] up their data to store at rsync.net we just assume that we are the threat. Of course I don't believe that but it's perfectly rational and we encourage people to think of rsync.net as a threat as they design their backups.

Comments in this thread are actually discounting the threat of Amazon personnel, GCS personnel, etc., as if that threat was zero.

Not only is it non-zero, I would go further: if you're storing the data on AWS and generating your keys on AWS and managing your keys with AWS ... you're doing it wrong.

I think it’s connected to how Tolkien always connects his ‘fantastical’ elements with the ‘ancient’.

The balrog is a primal evil the dwarves released by digging too deep; Tom Bombadil has been alive forever; Fangorn and Mirkwood forest are remnants of the ancient forest that once covered the world; Gollum has been granted long life by the ring making him a remnant of the past that has survived; The elves’ long lives make them a living connection to the past.

His mythology is all about people touching and being touched by something primally ancient, so to confront that world requires that kind journey through time.
Hyperthreading is also useful for simply making a little progress on more threads. Even if you're not pinning a core by making full use of two hyperthreads, you can handle double the threads at once. Now, I don't know how important it is, but I assume that for desktop applications, this could lead to a snappier experience. Most code on the desktop is just waiting for memory loads and context switching.

Of course, the big elephant in the room is security - timing attacks on shared cores is a big problem. Sharing anything is a big problem for security conscious customers.

Maybe it's the case of the server leading the client here.
