Oh, really, they do. And no amount of corporate boot-licking can change that. It's, and always will be, worker power.

> You are confusing what you want with what’s happening.

It's possible that you are confusing a potentially bad situation you are in, with what's happening to the rest of the worker force, many of who are empowered and hold a considerable bargaining power in the market. More and more of us have been getting a 4 day work week without the loss of pay, and the right to work remotely.

I, for example, am happily on a 4 day work week, and haven't been to the office in 3 years, and so are many of my colleagues and many other people in the industry. No amount of corp simping or RTO mandate will bring this back.

I've gone back and forward on this. They obviously want to move on as quickly as possible (the local AI updates for example), but it's not clear how long T2 will get support - the last Intel Mac mini was still being sold new from Apple until 2023. Sure, they could still axe it, but hopefully they won't for another couple of versions (which would imply that other T2 Macs get some additional support).

Even then, you're getting Sequoia at least, a year of support for that, then another two (if memory serves) of patch(y) support.
You are speaking as if these are well-defined and mutually exclusive categories.

I agree that Canonical have definitely had a history that feels like Not Invented Here, but so what? That's the real glory of this system, that we can pick out parts and try to do something better.

They've attracted a lot of ridicule from users, members, upstream, but it's their house, their engineering effort. Let's laud their attempt.

Mir, Upstart, Bazaar, AppArmour were all projects that started at the same time as the eventual "winners". It's not wrong to experiment.

Let's also not pretend that upstream always gets it right, or that they do things in concert with the wishes of their users (ffs Gnome).

Whatever solution is simplest, it's probably better. Every rule has an associated cost and, if the universe itself can be seen as a state transformation engine going over a matrix of states, the fewer the rules, the more likely it is.

And yes, this is bordering some form of faith - that the universe principles should be as efficient and simple as they can possibly be.

At least Samsung and LG don't include them, and these seem to be the most popular brands in Europe as far as I can tell.

They both support AirPlay these days, I've never been able to use Google Cast natively with a TV here, which is a shame for my use cases (Netflix doesn't support it, and I generally don't like to have my phone connected to the TV via Wi-Fi for the entire duration of a movie).

Edit: Turns out LG is currently in the process of adding it, and Samsung seems to have support in some models as well, but it's definitely not ubiquitous.

Personally I only care about Firefox, but I think its pretty standard to support Firefox, Chromium, and Safari.

That annoys me as well. What I find even more annoying are the questions designed to sow strife and discord, even when (or especially when) the premise of the question is patently false. All because because that drives engagement.
> But none of the suburbanites worried about cities seem to mind that there are SUVs whizzing around their residential neighborhoods at 40+ miles per hour.

The pavements are often much wider in suburbs, and/or separated from the road by trees. That's the difference. You're not in a high rise apartment building that opens directly on to pavement, which is 4ft from a road.
This is what differs model from reality. You're talking about abstract concept which helps you to measure mutations but as I tried to explain above - is not a real thing. It's just working and useful idea.
I believe this varies widely by region. In Europe, I've never seen a TV with built-in Google Cast support, but many do support Airplay.
That's so true.
I like to take photos and sometimes write things down! In a sense you're assembling a sound sculpture. But once you've found a great sound and lost it, sometimes you end up finding something very similar but not quite 100%! You see this a lot with live performances from any electronic musician to be honest.

Still, most of the time you find something incredible and it's gone as quickly as it appeared!
Well, I'd say you're allowed one strike, but not multiple.
I'm surprised no one here has mentioned artificially created fats/oils

Canola oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower seed oil etc

They are in everything

but if we think about what rancid fats are, they are "fats and oils that have undergone a process of oxidation, or degradation, that causes them to develop off-flavours, odours, tastes, and textures" (Exposure to air, light, and heat)

When you look into how these oils are manufactured these oils are not particularly stable to begin with, and then they're exposed to processes like:

- Mechanical pressing

- Solvent extraction

- Degumming

- Neutralization

- Bleaching

- Deodorization

To get to that clear oil that you see in the shops, this is all before some places deep fry their oils to cook, if an oil has a rancid taste, that is one of the main ways you would tell that it is not good for you, but if something has been deodorised I'm not sure you would be able to say that the oil is rancid

I'd much prefer to stick to fats/oils that existed before the 1900s, you can tell many people are storing fats that have not reacted well within their body

I might've linked a different story than the one I thought of — was a result of a quick google search, sorry.

The tweet I've seen wasn't directed at anyone, just a sentence to the effect of "Women are different from men". By a feminist, so likely not a conservative.

Hey there, As with most other reputable web hosting companies, we have a KYC (know your customer) process. With some customers, we may ask them to provide documentation to help us verify their identity/customer information, and we accept many forms of documents to help us with this. Some customers will indeed use a utility bill to help us do this.
We understand that going through any KYC process isn't fun, but it does help us to reduce abuse, and that is something we take very seriously. --Katie

> "General relativity is just a model."

Everything in physics a model. Quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, Newton's laws... Arguably everything in science is a model. But at some point, a model does so well at explaining observations that we take it to be a Truth. At one point, genes were 'just a model/theory,' but after the discovery of DNA, we took them to be real and physical. Seen in this way, there's nothing circular about either case.

It's uncontroversial to say that gravity is special because it is non-renormalizable. This means that one can't write down a quantum theory of gravity the same way that we write a quantum theory of electromagnetism, because it predicts infinite quantities that can't be removed from the theory. However string theory does unify quantum mechanics and gravity, and gravity is only "sort of special" in string theory (it does look in some ways like the other forces; the force carrier is the graviton). But exactly how spacetime emerges from string theory is still not fully understood.
Why are people shocked everytime they discover that the law applies to companies and companies comply with it?
I’ve noticed this as well with coding questions. I will give it problematic code and ask a question about behavior, but it will attempt to reply with a solution to a problem. And even if I prompt it to avoid providing solutions, it ignores my instruction and blasts out huge blocks of useless and typically incorrect code. And once it overwhelms my subtle inquiries with nonsense, it gets stuck repeating itself and I just have to start a new session over.

For me this is one of the strongest motivators for running LLMs locally- even if they’re measurably worse, they’re a far better tool because they don’t change behavior over time.
The concern I have with these types of solutions (meaning Tailscale, Firezone, etc.), is that I need to trust the provider not to mess up or maliciously exchange keys with rouge devices. Is this the case with Firezone as well?

I see that tailscale addresses this now somewhat:

One important difference is that Airplay is much more of a screen or video mirroring protocol, while Google Cast is focused on the receiver driving presentation, with your mobile device only acting as a navigation source.

Practically, this means that you can take phone calls, hibernate your computer, kill a source app on your phone, leave the house entirely etc. with Chromecast without interrupting whatever's playing on a TV or stereo, while with Airplay, playback usually stops in these scenarios. Airplay is also a bigger battery drain as a result, in my experience.
A 500Eur/quarter budget for books or any cultural stuff (museums, etc) for me or my family.

if we look at the philosophy behind self-hosting - to be able to host it ourselves, aka not rely on an external party for hosting, that means that if an external party is down or otherwise unavailable, then that line becomes fairly apparent. If 3rd party auth is required, then it's not really self-hosting then is it, because if that third party is down and the software can't be used, then that philosophy is violated. if it's optional, then that's fine though.

For something to be considered self-hosted, If the bombs drop and civilization is over and me, and my home lab are the only survivors, can I still use that software? I'd probably have other concerns in that case, like how am I going to survive nuclear winter, but that's where the imaginary line is.

Formal proofs can only prove that the system matches a specification.

Many (most?) non-trivial bugs are actually flaws in the specification, misunderstandings about what exactly you wanted and what real-world consequences arise from what you specified.
Visited SF in the mid 90s, then again about 10 years ago, and the decline was real back then. Tents on the same streets we'd walked as tourists 20 years earlier. I can say the same with Paris as well. New York, not so much, actually.

Living in London I don't notice the day to day differences here, but I would imagine others on here will say the same about London. It seems 'the West' has a general problem.
It also reminds me of how a lot of the most coveted guitars, pedals, amps weren't selected by the guitarists who made iconic because they had some sort of secret sauce in them, but literally because they were the cheapest/most convenient thing available at the time.

Also, I love the sound of a good crunchy 15w practise amp. I think one day those old zoom pedals and the Line 6 bean will be highly coveted!

That would have been too limiting since there are many (e.g. C) functions that can never throw but are not marked noexcept. Not being able to mark your function noexcept just because you call some standard math function would be counterproductive.
SFUSD only busses kids with special needs. Everybody else has to get to school on their own.

Siblings get preference for the same school, so it's pretty unlikely they'd be on different sides of town.

SFUSD has tons of problems but you are not accurate in your description of what they are.

The real problem is that the kids of parents who can't drive them to school end up having to go to a local school anyway, so the egalitarian idea of having kids go to any school did not actually work out as a positive for anybody but kids who were already privileged enough to have someone drive them to school.

Time = Distance / Velocity

A simple middle school formula really spells it out clearly.

If you’ve no distance or velocity, you don’t have time.
If we pretend that velocity is heat (electron excitation, though technically a cloud), you can see why we can never get to absolute zero without discontinuity (black hole), so time increases or the universe gets larger. There is a reason being cold, slow, and dense are linked.

You can keep increasing the heat to “infinity”, making time slower and slower relatively.
Can anybody perhaps share some insight of what kind of investment opportunity BitCoin represents, except for pure gambling?

I have been working in finance for many years, and I've learnt that various types of instruments correlate with specific market properties.
E.g., generally speaking, share value tends to go up when interest rate drops, option prices go up when volatility rises, gold price goes up when there's a lot of uncertainty because it's seen as a safe haven, etc.
But which kind of market property favors or disfavors BitCoin as an investment?
That certainly rules out all chat, email, and peer to peer software.

Other than that, what's your power supply like?
Worse, I've seen CVS do things like place a 180-count package of generic medication next to an identically-sized 200-count package of the equivalent name brand, with the generic costing a bit less, but with a slightly higher unit price due to the mismatched quantities.

Only a few years ago in 2017 that BTC collapsed from its ATH of 15k down to about 3k when it really entered the public consciousness (around the same time that sitcoms like big band theory covered it)

Have you been to Twitter's SF site? It is a weird place, between super sketchy and plainly empty, what is missing is the peace of mind, definitely a valid reason to leave. It has all the downsides from being in the downtown, while none of the perks remain in today's SF.

Talent pool isn't a real issue for Twitter now, under Elon, I don't think they truly prioritize Twitter over any of his other companies, the mission is to keep Twitter's lights on, that is it, the website/app had basically stayed the same after he took over, what talents do they really need, I don't buy it.
This sounds very similar to how Henri Bergson describes time in Time and Free Will.

I use contact lenses basically every day, and I have had no problems working in front of screens. There's a huge difference between the different brands. Mine is one of the more expensive ones (Acuvue Oasys 1-Day), so that might be part of it, but each eye is compatible with different lenses.

If I were you I would go to an optometrist and talk about this. They can also often give you free trials for different contacts and you can find one that works for you.
Depends on the server.

Most have at least 20 TB of bandwidth included in the price, even the lowest $5/mo shared cpu machines. 20 TB is a gigantic amount unless you're serving videos or some such.

Some have unlimited bandwidth (I mean they are effectively limited by the speed of network connection but you don't pay for amount).

I’ve been producing music on both software and hardware for 20 years. Borrowed the EP-133 KO II from a mate and found it to be highly initiative and pure style over substance. I don’t get what its selling point is. OP-1 I can understand but this thing is pointless.

But at least the layout follows she Golden Ratio I guess.
Maybe this analogy will be helpful for you. We have CPU with mutable RAM. You can create immutable language on top and start arguing that you can go both ways in mutations back and forth in RAM. But this is the feature of the abstraction you applied not the core feature of "reality".
It’s deflationary by design so if you can keep hold of them safely and people think they have value it will increase.

It's very hard to trust any source on this topic, which makes it impossible to get a sense of scale, however anecdotal evidence definitely supports 'incompatible' immigration being a problem.

Its not to say we don't have internal problems already, but that doesn't justify importing new problems.

I'm not too sure what the rationale behind the record immigration happening across the "West" is (UK, USA, AU, EU). Is it a population decline thing?

To the best of my knowledge, we do not provide discounts for agreeing to longer contracts, and we don't plan to do so in the near future. We try very hard to keep our base prices as low as possible and hope that customers will choose to stay with us because they have a positive experience.
Depending on your use case and how many resources you need, it may be worthwhile looking at some of our dedicated servers, which you can use together with our cloud servers. For example, if you want a server with beefier storage, you could get a dedicated server and put it in a private network together with your cloud servers. Many of our cloud servers have setup fees, but VERY low monthly fees. So over time, the longer you use a dedicated server, the more you save. We also have dedicated servers on our Server Auction that have NO setup fees.
