I respect the hustle.

As an entrepreneur, you're light years further than most of us will ever be.

Chin up! Launch again, launch different, launch something else, Pivot if need be. You make me proud.
As you get older you probably just get more sure in your on views, abilities and ways of doing things. Not judging whether or not what your saying is correct, just something I've noticed my parents do. Sometimes they do this to their detriment.
I always propose the: “Technically, your honor…” standard. If you make a commercial statement and in court your defense is “Technically, your honor, it means something completely different than what anybody hearing it would think and I spent a bunch of time in focus groups crafting the message to be deceptive”, then you lose.

It should be your duty to be intentionally honest and only accidentally confusing in proportion to your time and experience in crafting messages. A carefully curated message should be required to be entirely honest, a quick retort can be less rigorous (but still not intentionally deceptive; much harder to prove, but also less likely to be perfectly deceptive).
This is what I want too. Been wanting it for years.

Had to make sure mom did not find out but it seems to have worked fine. No toast yet but I plugged it in and was not electrocuted. It was still pretty hot and a little damp (did not finish the dry cycle). plugged it right in. A little sizzling from the damp elements but looks ok.
Traffic?

Build rail and deploy bussing like you fucking want it. Make it so good Japanese and European civil engineers ask you for help.

Noise?

That’s an engineering problem.

Teacher ratios?

Your property taxes too low for the services your community needs. Notice how I said need - it’s necessary. 20-1 is high, 30+ plus and your local governance is criminally incompetent.

You’re distracted by change and upset that you need to adapt to a world that’s moved past you. Tale older than the dirt we walk on.
Alas for many negative things to take flight, they will always make a call to virtue.
Is it not contradictory to say that traffic/activity/noise are almost the same, but it'd support lots of corner stores and restaurants and people would want to visit the neighborhood? The entire point of living in a suburb is that people who don't live here have no reason to be here. I actively do not want a restaurant or a bar or a coffee shop a block away from my home.
Were you using the API or ChatGPT? ChatGPT uses RAG on large documents which is useless for many tasks.
My tinfoil hat theory is that this isn’t about tax revenue economics per se, but rather removing one of the few remaining large scale use cases for cash.

You pull the barbell up from the ground (like a deadlift) while dropping into a squat, and then get it up over your head while standing up. It is much more explosive than either the deadlift or squat separately.
From my years on GCC I can remember that 90% of regular users' bug reports were user error, not a compiler bug.

We really need more public transit, though there also exist pavements that reduce road noise (most of it comes from tires) considerably… it’s just that it’s more expensive (and more effective) than noise walls… but government mandates say noise walls are “adequate”.
Apple is also being investigated as part of a DOJ lawsuit. Epic's spat with Google has been moving along faster, though I suspect that's because it's a simpler problem to solve. Apple's position in iOS is entrenched deeper and isn't as easily solved as Google's position on Android.

As someone that doesn't like Apple very much, I think it's good news. Google should be scrutinized fully to make the relative harm of Apple's actions more apparent.

Mild to moderate exercise won't fix it, but intense exercise, e.g. running or similar, carries hope. Good sleep will slow the damage, but after a certain age, e.g. 80, it may not work.
Are you even reading the same article?

Title: "Germany cautious"

"The New York Times also reported Tuesday that U.S. officials reviewed intelligence that suggested a pro-Ukrainian group was behind the blasts."

'German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said he read the news reports “with great interest” but warned against drawing hasty conclusions.'

'“It would not be the first time in the history of such events,” the German minister said. “As such, I’m refraining from drawing premature conclusions.”'

'“The identity of the perpetrators and their motives are the subject of ongoing investigations,” it added. “At present, it is not possible to make any reliable statements on this, in particular on the question of state control.”'

OP insinuated that western media was confidently blaming Russia. Almost nothing in the media or government officials was damning, it was speculation, no one really knew and that's what they reported. The article is AP and citing NYT.

It's wildly tiresome to hear people rail against "mainstream media" because they reported on one government official saying "I think it might be Russia," but when they read Seymour Hersh's substack that puts 10,000 words of just completely made up bs, they're like "wow so good, mainstream news only lies"

> There is no law with being a monopoly or anticompetitive. A company must be found to be both.

Not quite. There is no need to prove a monopoly in order to prove a violation of US antitrust law. There FTC has a nice summary of the core federal antitrust laws here [1]. Some quotes:

> The Sherman Act outlaws "every contract, combination, or conspiracy in restraint of trade," and any "monopolization, attempted monopolization, or conspiracy or combination to monopolize."

...

> The Federal Trade Commission Act bans "unfair methods of competition" and "unfair or deceptive acts or practices."

...

> The Clayton Act addresses specific practices that the Sherman Act does not clearly prohibit, such as mergers and interlocking directorates (that is, the same person making business decisions for competing companies). [...] As amended by the Robinson-Patman Act of 1936, the Clayton Act also bans certain discriminatory prices, services, and allowances in dealings between merchants.

It's pretty much all about unfair competition and about attempts to create a monopoly.

Yay get him out of NZ. All he does now is parrot propaganda for the CCP, Russia, and Hamas. Guy has lost the plot.
We are talking about programming computers. What the CPU does once it gets instructions is mostly irrelevant to the programmer. The act of programming is still just building big lists of instructions to feed to a CPU so why has the programming stack grown to such a massive precarious bloated pile of abstraction that gets in my way? Every fancy schmancy language you can think of still just comes down to feeding the same instructions to a hungry CPU.
My problem with NPR is that is the spirit of remaining unbiased, they allow both sides of the political spectrum to say their piece with little to no push back. Whichever side spews the best lines of BS wins regardless of the actual facts on the ground.
Right, but you're not logging in to a separate account for that.
My parents still pay for the local newspaper to be delivered at home but it went from every day to I think now twice a week - Sunday and Wednesday or something like that. Same price, they get a "free" online subscription in addition to paper, but its still disappointing to not be able to have a paper with morning coffee anymore.

Re: Witnessing an operations manager show us folders of spreadsheets for his business, we realized that spreadsheets have limited functionality.

did you bother finding out where those spreadsheets come from, internal systems, external reports from vendors, are they consolidated bank statements, inventory counts and status, amazon/shopify inventory status

your ai tool should enable them to work with these spreadsheets as a starter.

I totally agree with vector_spaces comment, having a AI agent create a new workflow and train business manager on using it is a dead end. They have had the last 30years to explore VBA, Access and the other tools Microsoft comes with, and they last thing they will do is understand python the way your demo shows

Quick observations:

- several people here mention that they learned this phrase in the military

- the first written mention I could find is in a 1998 army report [0]

- the first Google Books hit for this phrase is from 1970 but this seems to be an error - the full text preview is from a different, recent book [1]

- Internet Archive has a lot of hits - but the earliest ones - except for the army report mentioned above - are from the 2000s (don't be fooled by wrong publishing dates in the metadata) [2]

- Google Ngram Viewer shows a brief appearance around 1980 (maybe a fluke) and then a steady rise in the 2000s [3].

- In one army magazine I saw an extended version: "slow is smooth, smooth is fast, fast is deadly" (which doesn't transfer that well to other professions)

I feel like macOS had the right idea for desktop security, with a per-binary permissions model when it comes to accessing sensitive areas in $HOME.

I know this can be done in Linux using flat packs, snaps, and the like, but I would really appreciate if sandboxing could be done at a more fine grained level, without coupling sandboxing and distribution.

Okay, let’s see your data-only implementation of “shoot n fast homing projectiles in a burst that takes a total of a third of a second where n is the number of times this attack has been performed in this phase at a location where the player was one third of a second ago.”

I guess you could accomplish this with invisible bullets and making bullets targetable, but at that point, you’re just creating state and loops and pretending you’re not.

My understanding is that the HSTX can do twice the bit clock as the frequency of the CPU, as opposed to 1x for RP2040. So 800x480 (60Hz) is possible with no overclocking (295MHz bit clock) and Luke said [1] he got 1280x720 50Hz with overclocking (530MHz using CVT-R according to the video timings calculator [2]).

"As president, she would work with Congress to craft a proposal that comes with an income limit and with strict requirements to prevent hedge fund managers and lawyers from structuring their compensation in ways to try to take advantage of the policy," the official, who isn't authorized by the campaign to speak publicly, said.

I was deeply unimpressed with Tesla’s highway driving when I test drove one. I found both Ford and Hyundai/Kia to be at or above the level of the Tesla.

Frankly, I didn’t see any benefit of Tesla over most of the lane centering and adaptive cruise solutions in the market. It felt so unpredictable that I preferred to simply drive by hand.
ok, I understand what planes we're talking about here, and they're interesting, but I do think there's room for the obligatory:

I bowed out of the process. I just couldn't quite figure out how to reconcile what was asked of me.

Don't be around people in possession of illegal drugs. Ok, well grandpa died and I know for sure his oxy is in his medicine cabinet. Grandma hasn't thrown that away. You're not really allowed to do that, ya know?

I understand why the rules are the way they are. I understand that they would not care about that situation. The FBI agent asked rather pointed questions about, am I the kind of person who follows the rules when no one is watching. I feel pretty comfortable saying I do. I feel pretty comfortable believing they do not.

There are plenty of smart hardworking people with clearances. I believe in them and I believe they're generally trustworthy, but are held to an impossible standard so they can be fired at any time. I get it, but I can't accept that, so I don't.

Kim Dotcom to Be Extradited from New Zealand to US
(Started writing this as a response to mhb[1], but posting at the top-level because I think it's generally relevant.)

Most newspapers have deliberately promoted the online editions in preference to their traditional print editions, which is compromising the economies of scale in printing. The online edition of the New York Times is half the price of the print edition because they want it to be, not because that would be its natural market price.

A specific newspaper is not a free market resource; the editorial stance and quality is exclusive. But assume for sake of argument that it is: that there are dozens of different companies that can produce the New York Times. As long as the physical quality (of the ink, paper etc.) is adequate, consumers will purchase the paper which is cheapest. Eventually, a monopoly would emerge due the economies of scale - the producer which sells the most papers would also be able to provide the lowest prices. Yet, this hypothetical printer would still be kept honest because, with no exclusivity over printing, they couldn't raise their prices above the basic printing cost of a single copy (which does not benefit from economies of scale).

Here's the key part of the argument: the difference between the online and print edition is $3. For less than $3, I can print the entire Sunday edition at home, probably on higher quality paper too. That means that the New York Times are deliberately over-pricing the print edition relative to their online edition. They can do this because they hold copyright over the text. They want to do this because they can target advertising to individuals, lock customers into subscriptions more easily online, show attention-grabbing multimedia and a do whole litany of other profitable things.

I should note that abolishing copyright wouldn't fix the problem, because that would drive prices down below even the true market value of journalism. This is because nobody would want be the first to purchase a copy of the article; wait a little longer and someone else will sell you theirs at a discount. I personally believe it would be closer to the real value than the status quo, but it is still below it, and that isn't a sustainable income for journalists. It would harm professional journalism eventually.

Ensuring that anyone is allowed to republish an article verbatim at a fixed royalty - a royalty no higher than the price of the online edition - would, I think, go a long way to making print editions reflect their actual relative value compared to electronic publishing. Legislation permitting format-shifting, and resale of the format-shifted work, would facilitate this.

But there is so much inefficiently-used land and so many cities that you don't have to deliberately go into an existing town and change its nature head to toe.

There are plenty of already-urban areas that have poorly-used lots that could benefit from building more urban housing. Why not start there? Keep like housing styles together: If you're the one single family house in the middle of a city surrounded by dozens of apartments, then yea, that lot should probably be re-developed into an apartment. The single family home is out of place and the neighborhood is already set up for dense living.

But if you're in a small town that's all single family houses, it doesn't make sense to re-develop a random sampling of them into apartment buildings. 1. They'd look out of place and 2. These small towns don't have the infrastructure to suddenly 3X-10X their populations. They'd need more schools, transportation, electric capacity, water/sewer capacity, trash collection, retail, industry, everything.
