Sure, that would also be a way to address the problem. Quite frankly I haven't read up on the UBI enough to give a qualified answer about it, but given the observation that many places appear to try it out we will probably have very conclusive data soon.
XMPP is still used here and there. You can just use your own server and encryption and stay secretive, which explains the interest of certain actors.
So the solution is to throw many of the people who currently make $10/hour out of a job and onto welfare? That's what you're proposing.

If we raised the minimum wage to $20/hour, some businesses would raise their wages, and some will fire those workers.

And once on welfare it is extremely hard to get off welfare because of claw-backs and because once you have a gap in your resume it's really hard to get a full time $20/hour job. There might be employers willing to take a chance on you for a lower salary part-time.

The solution isn't to raise minimum wage, it's to eliminate minimum wage and put in an equitable UBI/welfare system. It'll raise wages naturally, because if they have a decent safety net, most people will feel comfortable quitting / not accepting an unjustly low salary. OTOH, if companies make massive profits through paying low salaries then we should tax those profits to pay for the UBI/welfare.
Spherical cows are more or less a natural impossibility. The economic system in the US is designed to add friction for people like those in these types of situations to switch jobs, retrain, etc. That's an important distinction.
An explanation is not an excuse.

It's tiring seeing people be so, so confident they know what's going on behind the scenes. In reality, they know just as much as everyone else.

> OSS burnout. Very few FOSS projects are lucky enough to have grown a sustainable and supportive community. Most of the time, it seems to be a never-ending parade of angry demands with very little reward. When the software labour market was growing steadily, burned out maintainers often got replaced by fresh-eyed graduates or coders who relied on the project at work.

This is big not just because of angry demanding "gimme free stuff slave!" users but burn-out due to the realization that open source in 2024 is often just free labor for SaaS companies.

Open source should not be considered "free." It should be a kind of gift culture where one is expected to give something back. Showing up with angry demands for something someone made for free makes you a parasite and an asshole.
professional wait staff sure make enough to pay income tax; it's a skilled trade. In Canada the tax authority would audit service industry people who don't declare other income, where tips get captured.
On the other hand, silicon has never been so cheap.

The hardest things would've been the DDR4 and PCIE interface. But as they're using standard interfaces, and last generation. I'm sure they got a good discount on all that IP and it didn't cost them hardly any man hours to integrate. And Tesla might've even already had the licenses and IP setup as they make other ASICs.

I didn't do a budget or anything, but at even 10Ks of units, I could see how this could save money. Or at least not loose money. Assuming a comparable IB network card is ~$1000, which I also didn't price.

And there could be other potential cost offsetting features, like power savings.

Not being able to "backdoor it" (presuming this means "exploit a backdoor the torturer presumes you have already put into it") does not prevent you from getting tortured to backdoor it.

All it does is, should that occur, prevent you from giving the torturer what they want to end the torture.

OTOH, convincing the torturer by, among other means, public statements in advance that you have failed to consider this anhd believe that not having that ability prevents torture, and that for this reason you do not have it, might prevent torture. But that's a big gamble on potential future torturers believing your public statements of motivation.

I probably could have tweaked it for my own purposes, but with only 100 posts, I just reviewed every one. It probably took me a few evenings to get everything looking right following the conversion.

I guess that's the occasion to remind that ML is splendid at interpolating, but extrapolating, maybe don't keep your hopes too high.

Namely, to have a "perfect flight sim" using GoPros, you'll need to record hundreds of stalls and crashs.
I saw a tip once from a 3D artist on how he mastered sculpting. Everyday he would force himself to just sculpt a straight line on his model. This one line was enough to engage his brain and before he knew it he would keep sculpting.

I use this in coding. Just do this one function then you can do whatever. Most of the time I won't go back to procrastinating, but end up spending an hour or so working on the project.

I also think the opposite is true. If you try to force yourself to work many hours per day on side projects by disabling the internet or netflix etc. you will burn out.
Ah yes, the classic story: first they came for the hectomillionaires, and so forth.
Maybe take another look at frameworks, they are by far some of the best laptops out there for computer people imo. Other than that, steer clear of system76. I've only bought one laptop from them a few years ago, but the build quality was astoundingly bad and after a year of use the battery couldn't last more than a couple hours.
I don't think it's ridiculous, it's just they might not necessarily care enough. They will consider it a bug if there's enough uproar, for now there are just a couple of unhappy users here and there, no reasons to revert something that presumably took a lot of work to implement, especially if the fix takes more effort than the original implementation (I wouldn't be surprised since we're talking about performance differences between browser engines).

I suppose I misspoke a little. GTK has a stylesheet that can be modified. In fact the Cosmic appearance settings has an option to apply the current Iced theme to GTK apps.

Gnome does not expose this at all (except for the built in dark mode) and they actively discourage any kind of theming. Gnome 47 will finally support accent colors, which they reluctantly implemented after it became a freedesktop standard and most distros were patching it in anyway.

/31 linknets are common in the ISP world, it might even be /32 loopback of those devices, who knows.

I do agree that its bad but not for the same reason. On the diagram it looks like router IPs are their loopback IPs rather than the link IP, as we know a traceroute response comes from the interface the packet came in and that IP is used in the response. Seems like the creator tried to simplify the diagram and excluded linknets but made it more confusing instead.

> In the new whistleblower report, the group claims there are “too many deficiencies in the culture and behavioural areas” at Fermilab. They point, for example, to the lab’s dismissal of an early-career researcher in 2023 who had alleged sexual assault in 2018, and raised several cover-ups by management of dangerous behaviour. The report also highlights a case of guns being brought onto Fermilab’s campus in 2023; a male employee’s attack on a female colleague using an industrial vehicle in 2022; and retaliation against an employee who had predicted and warned management about the failures of beryllium windows.

Excellent point. If any change on the site caused ad views or clicks to drop by >1%, automated tests probably shoot flares up to the exec level. Whereas the vast majority of users on FF are blocking ads anyway, so their lagging performance probably barely registers on those tests.

While YT probably still has non-ad automated performance tests, in the case of a non-Chrome, non-Apple desktop browser, those tests probably run every odd Thursday and regressions send a toast message to an intern. :-)

Seems like a minor incident that should be resolved quickly.
This is extremely interesting.

At first people expected him to be jailed, because he obviously has means to leave France and never get caught again, but then analysts pointed out that he knew there was a warrant in France to get him and that he decided to land in France anyway, so they raised the question that maybe he came voluntarily in order to strike a deal with French authorities.

The fact that he's now free from custody sounds like this analysis was likely the right one.

Uks a bit odd since Service charge is a thing as well and sometimes it's always added (at bill calculation) and other places only add it when it's a large group.
So small business can't take out loans unless they can realize and be taxed on the full valuation of their company immediately? As much as I can appreciate the goal, this is absurd.
It feels more like YouTube just doesn't prioritize an unpopular browser. Google only put resources into Firefox so they can say they're not a monopoly, but that strategy didn't really pan out. So, now, they're probably going to stop caring about Firefox altogether.
Another perfect execution of embrace(Microsoft became the steward of the Mono Project when it acquired Xamarin), extend(Microsoft maintains a modern fork of Mono runtime in the dotnet/runtime repo and has been progressively moving workloads to that fork), extinguish(we recommend that active Mono users and maintainers of Mono-based app frameworks migrate to .NET) for anyone who thought MS had actually changed since the bad old days.
Another thing to consider: Regardless of my own views, I think it's more valuable than not to have the voices of the wackos at the extreme ends in all directions.

The extremists may have some opinions or beliefs or attitudes that don't add up to being a reasonable balance between some ideal and the reality of life, so you can say technically literally irrational or disconnected from reality, but those people are the ones who are motivated enough to find out things despite difficulty, and those people are the ones who make observations and points that are outside of your comfortable established norms rut, yet can't be denied when examined.

Practically all forward progress actually only ever happens thanks to some discontented initial minority who are considered unreasonable for some time initially simply because they are the minority.

But they are the devils advocate, and that is a critical role. If you have an idea or a philosophy that fails to stand up to some devil's advocate charge, then your philosophy was never valid in the first place and maybe you're the devil.

Even if the devil's advocate is an extremist who also says some other things that are demonstrably invalid where you can easily provide a counter argument. It often takes that extreme person to spot a problem and bring the valid argument to light even if the valid argument is bundled with also a bunch of invalid arguments and conclusions.

I believe that originally it was more a function of college students spending their free time on it. Of course, this results in addressing fewer enterprise-level use cases.

With all these sorts of things where they promise it'll only affect subset X of people, and then in the future once its been passed it's then changed/extended to affect subset Y in addition, I wish someone would suggest some way to just add a clause in, something like "This law is only to target X subset and if anyone tries to change it to affect a different subset of people, or pass a new law that extends its scope to a different subset, all such laws are instantly made invalid and dropped from the books". Or something along those lines.

If they promise it'll only ever affect the "super rich", then encode that in the law and ensure us, by law, that's what it'll be. If they truly don't want to expand its scope further, then have a mechanism that enforces that.

(Of course, this is a separate issue from whether it's even moral to target subset X in the first place, which I won't get into).
It's a variation on the prisoners dilemma.

The lowest risk option for the herd is that everyone get vaccinated. The lowest risk option for healthy young individuals may or may not be.

The parent is publicly admitting that they chose the more selfish of the two options. This rubs the rest of us (who considered the greater good more important than the incredibly small personal risk) the wrong way.

It's sometimes ok to be selfish, but it's never going to be the most popular decision and don't expect the herd you are a part of to respect your disdain for the well being of the larger group.

Yeah, I agree with this take. I think making an issue of unrealized gains isn't the real story here. Using unrealized gains/assets as collateral is the way the ultra-wealthy avoid large swaths of income tax.

I see two reasonable paths forward for taxing using assets as collateral:

1. Treat it as a sale and repurchase (as you described) and transform capital gains into a progressive system
2. Treat the sale as earning income for purposes of using the traditional income tax brackets.

Either way, you don't get into a weird speculative tax gray area. Rather it's when the ultra wealthy want cash-on-hand that they incur some kind of income tax penalty. Maybe even put in a reasonable exemption ($25-100k/year) that doesn't trigger tax so that middle class households aren't hamstrung by this.
No that is not what I am proposing. I have lived through the introduction of minimum wage in 2015 in Germany. Maybe you lived through more such transitions, but I did not observe what you (maliciously?) claimed to be for.

Sure the US is always different (and solution working elsewhere can't possibly be applied to it), but granted: a UBI might be a better choice ultimately. But the question is if that is really within the set of realistic choices. A UBI is a hard sell even in comparably "socialist" countries in Europe. In the US it would be dead on arrival. Consider that maybe this is the idea.

You know, a bit like what the Hyperloop did for intercontinental trains, proposed by a guy who wanted to sell more cars.

If you want capital flight this is how it starts. If this went into effect I would owe taxes on several hundred thousand dollars in gains that I can't afford, or I couldn't afford unless I sold stuff, causing more taxable gains.
