It's a real problem for all countries not using the metric system, so, uhhh... the US, Liberia, and Myanmar. If the units have no meaningful way of conversation, like gallons, ounces, pounds, cups, and so on, cooking can get hard.
Cuba still exists today and is ostensibly being run for the benefit of all workers.

Why don’t you go visit a Cuban state-run grocery store and tell me how much you’d enjoy living there?

My experiences with NixOS almost exactly mirror yours. I like the concept to a degree but find the implementation flawed. If the project was more cohesive and unified (i.e. OpenBSD); then all the edge cases wouldn't combine to make it less then the sum of it's parts.

I love the idea that every configuration could be treated like a cooking recipe. Here's a list of all the ingredients, this is how I want them combined; and poof it's 100% repeatable.
UBI would be such a big tax burden, that politicians would start promising to abolish it. Hence, I don't think it could last in a democracy.
Building high-assurance systems is expensive. Anyone not doing so must accept the associated risks (which is fine, not everything needs to be high-assurance).
Seems like a baseless restriction. I can't find anything wrong with Firefox support itself as I changed my user agent under Firefox and Apple Maps works fine.

It sucks when companies restrict normal access to a website when it's uncalled for. It's not the first time I've gotten "Use Google Chrome" for no reason.
They need to make money through an associated line of Alexa compatible products, like smart bulbs, door bells, phones, window shutters, ...

It would be very hard to convince me to buy another subscription for something like Alexa. They would be competing with all the other Big Tech subscriptions I'm paying and that budget is limited. There's only space for a few of those before any new ones become a very tough sell.
No, because that falls under the fallacy that every market is a perfect market, where none is.

A perfect market is one where

- alternatives can be created for little to no money so they can easily exist

- consumers have an infinity of time, money and energy to analyze products

- consumers have total agency over their decision

- picking an alternative has no cost, no drawback

- it is possible to buy nothing and still be content

There are 0 markets that fall under those conditions. The measure of how good your product is is not in its sales figures it is in... reviews.
For me it's just about time and laziness. I accept for large and specialized purchases, it's worth potentially going to someplace else to buy something. But for some run of the mill $20 item? I probably spend a few minutes on Amazon and call it a day. I usually get the item in a day or two and, if I don't? It's still probably faster than I would get it elsewhere and it probably doesn't matter.
Why is that? Having Google's ability to navigate with live traffic data isn't a valuable feature to you? Apple's traffic-flow is mostly a joke to me, and I've never seen anyone trust it.

how was the fine tuning done?
If you are now earning enough/lot, you get UBI, but it is all taxed away anyway. So in the end high income people will not gain anything net.

On other side basically nearly all of UBI will be spend, thus generate economic activity and come back in taxes in various ways such as sale or income or corporate.
If you want this to change, ban the CEO from holding a similar job or sitting on a board. If that doesn't work ban them from Aspen.
But, the usual case is that the major companies in the market collude to strip away these kind of offerings, as "free unconditional returns" hurts bottom line of all companies in the market. This is the real power of capitalism.

Think about it, for example the TV sector: All companies colluded to reduce the selection of TVs to "Smart" TVs only. I can't just go and buy from a competitor, because it simply does not exist!
It depends on who you want to punish, the shareholders, who have to give up their shares ... or the company, which doesn't really give a crap, as a whole.
In theory, maybe. I think in practise, in the case of somewhere like Germany, they realistically just won't implement the hypothetical feature and let productivity of employees drop even further. There is no motivation or reward in the public sector here for anyone to do anything better or more efficiently. I'm maybe overly cynical about the public sector's ability to get anything done here, I would like to be proven wrong, though.

I support a PSAP (a Public Safety Answering Point, aka a 911 call center). There's no way I could do the work the telecommunicators do. No way. Between the bullshit they have to deal with and the horrifying psychologically-damaging calls... No way.

I can see that video would be helpful in some cases. Having listened to a ton of calls during my work, though, I think the calls where video would make a difference versus a distraction will be few.

I'm interested in the receiving infrastructure. All of the video will need to be recorded (at least in my state) and retained for an established period of time (90 days here). The PSAP networks are already a twisty maze of VLANs and firewalls (in my PSAP each workstation has multiple PCs plugged-in to different networks with different network and PC security policies).
You would have a hard time denying 20% of users their first choice.

You're not wrong, but this is the reason all of my various partners in adult life have veto me making a Farnsworth fusor or attempting CVD diamond processing at home, and they're not wrong either.
Mandatory is a ridiculous rule if only for the self defeating nature of limiting yourself. I can understand the sentiment but maybe make the rule say to prefer OSS. That is when sourcing RFPs prefer OSS solutions that can fulfill requirements.

My optimistic side tells me that Blue Origin was founded as a tech lab / app lab / skunkworks and not necessarily as a company with the goal of putting humans in space, that has suffered from said bullshitting. But my cynical side tells me the latter.

Or alternatively, there isn't really any evidence that the Israeli government was involved in this, which is probably why its not getting very much flak for this.

Maybe you could make the argument there should be better export restrictions on private companies to treat so called "cyber-weapons" like real weapons. There are a bunch of efforts on this front. You kind of have to have the treaties in place before you can start exerting diplomatic pressure in regards to them. There are plenty of people working on that, but the wheels of the UN move slowly. Anyways, this particular incident doesn't change much in that regard.

For 3, i dont really think this incident (a failed hacking attempt of a type that is pretty typical) really changes or says anything about constant surveilence. We are already way into the era of constant surveilence.
Would it really have been so bad to be inferior at such a specific task?

Great apes are hard for humans to match in e.g. upper body strength, so we are not strictly superior anyway...

I strongly believe that human intellectual superiority will come to an end within a lifetime, will be quite interesting to see how our species deals with it (to be clear: talking about AI there, not apes :P).

> … I didn’t realize the interview task was to re-implement someone’s PhD thesis in 30 minutes...

What a bullshit task. I’m beginning to think this kind of interviewing should be banned. Seems to me it’s just an easy escape hatch for the interviewer/hiring manager when they want to discriminate based on prejudice.

This is describing the broader difference between the BSDs (kernel + userland) vs Linux (only kernel).

Russia actually works both sides to become more heated. During the 2016 election they created facebook groups for pro and anti abortion groups and organised them to be in the same city at the same time.

I think they're also trying to break the wests spirit in terms of faith in democracy and the state of the world right now for policy and political/military advantage. In my eyes the US is currently one big foreign infleunce experiment right now via facebook
Love this algorithm. It feels like magic, and then it feels obvious and basically like binary search.

Similar to the algorithm to parallelize the merge step of merge sort.
Split the two sorted sequences into four sequences so that `merge(left[0:leftSplit], right[0:rightSplit])+merge(left[leftSplit:], right[rightSplit:])` is sorted. leftSplit+rightSplit should be halve the total length, and the elements in the left partition must be <= the elements in the right partition.

Seems impossible, and then you think about it and it's just binary search.
No. You just need to not update them all at the same time.
I was glad to see that social security was mentioned- the universal basic income we already have for the elderly.
No legit project could ever make use of the leaked source code even if it was from just before the end of the pre-sale AOL era so the person who did that never actually helped anyone & imho just hindered things.

I can't use it for WACUP & I don't see how any of the other players out there (clone / compatibles / just looking to hack in some features from it) could ever use it either.

There's also the whole "source available" thing they announced earlier this year still likely means it's never going to be proper open source against how media / others at the time took it to mean. Not like things couldn't be done via plug-ins but for whatever reason so many seem to forget about that & only see source code as the only way to modify things which imho is just going to make things messier if / when something does happen.

I think the idea is something like this:

UBI replaces the standard deduction, or something like that. Everyone pays tax, at either flat or progressive rates, but with the base tax on $0 income being -$10,000/person.

So if you hypothetically imagine a 20% flat tax (not a realistic number!), then once you're making $50,000 a year, you're breaking even. At that point, UBI is nominally costing the government $10,000/American/year, but most of that is an accounting fiction--it's just equivalent to not taxing that person as much as you would've in an alternate scenario.

Now, I don't know how this works for Wilderquist's example, since I doubt that simulation has UBI replacing all other taxes/deductions.

I'm really disappointed by Notion, but the database feature is has no competition. Since a long time ago, I've been wishing to use a psql db for note taking, but when needs changes, adding / removing columns or splitting tables would be a huge pain. So there might be industrial tools that makes this process easier, like python easier, just I haven't heard of?
The idea is that this will increase FOSS investments and create cooperation between municipalities to setup FOSS project managements for their needs.
The current centralization is what keeps it "stable". This stability makes the currency lose it's value in a very gradual way. Only housing, property, education, and healthcare are gaining value at a outlier rate.

Decentralization will incentivize hoarding. Why spend crypto when it might go to the moon tomorrow. Maybe that is a feature, maybe not.

I don't judge.

No-one is seriously claiming CrowdStrike did that.
AI or not, has there ever been a 50 year span in human history where the majority of jobs didn't get redundant? Technology evolves. Newer jobs spring up to replace the ones that were lost. People adjust to the new reality, and our lives are better because of it.
true. I worked with landley when he started toybox, mainly because of BusyBox license.android uses it now.
> If you aren’t talking across continents there is no need to speak two languages

Continents have nothing to do with this. If you live in the UK and need to talk to people in the USA and Australia, you can be monolingual and still speak with people in three continents. If you live in Switzerland, you may need to speak 3 languages just to be able to talk with all your neighbors.
Just an example.

Should teachers be judged on how a pleasant life they live, or how good they teach?
That “miscommunication” you mention has been used against me in several interviews, because I was expected to ask questions (and sometimes a specific question they had in mind) before making assumptions. Well, then the 30min becomes an exercise in requirements gathering and not algorithmic implementation.
I love Amex generally, but they are the sole card issuer who has outright denied charging a vendor back - or even blocking future transactions.

I had to close my account to get it to stop. Not even reissuing a new card helped due to the protocols vendors have now to do recurring billing over number changes.

Just a word of caution for an anyone taking this as gospel as I did.
>
There's much more at play than just "cooperatives are not any better". Cooperatives don't get as much funding from investors because investors won't be owning a larger share of them, and taking their returns, they instead invest in a traditional company because then they can extract as much as possible from their investments.

Unions should put their money where their mouth is and invest in cooperatives.
I had to load this in Edge to actually see the joke. My FireFox config (Ublock/NoScript/?) prevents the custom styles from showing.

Thank You. It is easy to miss these follow up studies.
All their ground support is geared towards the 737 family. This reduces the cost and complexity of supply chains, as they need to keep track of a relatively small set of parts and equipment. It also reduces training (they don't need to train anyone on Airbus, or any other plane type). They only need 737 simulators and 737 pilots, making them interchangeable.

To move to, say, the similar A32x family would take an almost entirely new airline to be built from scratch. That's not going to happen unless their 737's start breaking apart mid-flight.

In my country, I can't not-pay taxes. They are deducted by my employer out of my pay. There is a large gap between employees in this situation and freelancers who get paid in cash and declare nothing. So basically, those who already pay, are paying for everybody that does not want to.

In 2023, some 60-ish billion euro has been evaded. No government has ever tried to rectify this gaping chasm as that would be a political suicide.

On top of this, should I pay even more to keep afloat those that do no not want to work?
Fuck that. Forget it.

> How is a company that requires hundreds of millions of dollars before it's profitable supposed to be a co-op?

People and organizations who talk about social welfare (e.g. unions) should put their money where their mouth is, and do the seed investments.
Indeed. I usually go with “OP” in non-frustrated contexts, myself.
The same with this "metric system"
I've worked with two 911 computer-aided dispatch (CAD) systems (both from Motorola, but varying wildly in quality and provenance) and neither has any such thing. Both don't directly handle phone calls either, however. They have APIs that interface to the phone and radio systems to move traffic between. In the case of the PSAP (a Public Safety Answering Point, aka a 911 call center) I support the caller is being handled by one system that passes the calling number (ANI), static telco-provided geolocation/metadata (ALI), and live GPS geolocation to the CAD system. Aside from these defined interfaces the systems are separate islands and function (and, more importantly, fail) separately.

Edit: Text messages are handled by a third-party with a SIP-based interface (running over a VPN across the Internet) to the phone system. My guess would be this is how video will be brought in. These third parties are already positioned in the telco system to handle this effectively (from a regulatory perspective).
Probably stuck in a local optimum.

> 1) It can’t be enough to desirably live on. It must essentially be “survival level” so that there is still an incentive to contribute to society with your work. Unlike unemployment, this means that if you get a job you just make more money rather than trade unemployment for a paycheck.

such a bizarre position to take. "we could build a basic if functional utopia, but I'm worried about the work ethic of other people and how they have fun so instead I will insist that it fucking sucks".

why are you like this?

why do you:

1) care?
2) assume other people will just smoke bongs all day?
3) care if they do smoke bongs instead of doing something you find valuable?

I fear running all these services is expensive too - not just the data & updates.

You need quite a lot of infrastructure:

1. map tiles

2. satellite view

3. geocoding. Where you have several services like forward, reverse, IP2coord. Likely also different services for different countries.

4. A-B routing. Again with several services like car, bike, walking and transit. Especially transit is a completely different thing. Also traffic data requires a different data pipeline.

5. ratings / reviews

6. user data (when logged in) for preferences etc
At least, the bias is overt here. And winning four times in 42 years and almost as many editions isn't a conclusive proof of vote tampering, in my opinion.
Not mentioned in the blog post is the new addition of `size_of`, `size_of_val`, `align_of`, and `align_of_val` to the prelude, which means they don't need to be imported anymore: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/123168/
At least in America, entitlement programs, once enacted, are so popular they have been impossible to remove, as most recently evidenced by the attempts to get rid of obamacare. See also social security and medicare.

This is different from options and RSUs. It sounds like they’re getting paid directly in stock. They’re not being given the option to buy stock at a later date (with lower preference than the executives and early employees). Those kinds of arrangements still benefit the capital holders the most.

Whether it’s a bad thing to improve employee welfare over profits… I don’t think it’s that bad. It’s perhaps more efficient than hoping that the state will. And it’s probably temporary and tactical: profits still matter when you own stock.
Good thing the US isnt a democracy.
