when you got $5 and need soap and a toothbrush and cat food and paper towels today; you may not be in a position to be more frugal.

The people that shop there often realize that its more expensive; but either they can't swing larger portions sizes for whatever reasons, or (more often in my rural area); the DG is closer than a real store and they don't care to drive all the way into town. 5 minute trip vs 15min.

Kind of wondering what you’re talking about here? Firefox still works great for me, did I miss something in the news? Is there some sort of big change coming down the pipeline?
While Discord Inc. is based in San Francisco, Tencent (China) owns Discord, most likely at a majority stake, considering how they have been funding the devs before they even had the idea for it.

Also one big difference might be that Discord is part of the Deep Web (requiring an account and an invitation to its chatrooms to even see what is going on there), while Telegram seems to be mostly on the Open Web, even providing an interface to be crawled ?
> People use python because everybody else uses python. That's it. It's not particularly good at anything it does. But it will get the job done and I can do it. But that just isn't good enough for me. It's the visual basic for data science. And that's not a compliment. Being idiot proof is it's main feature. But that doesn't make it the smart choice.

I'll leave this here as well, I think it sufficiently implies the notion of Python being a fad and not particularly useful.
I think a bigger issue in this case is the age. A 10-year old should not have access to TikTok unsupervised, especially when the ToS states the 13-year age threshold, regardless of the law’s opinion on moderation.

I think especially content for children should be much more severely restricted, as it is with other media.

It’s pretty well-known that age is easy to fake on the internet. I think that’s something that needs tightening as well. I’m not sure what the best way to approach it is though. There’s a parental education aspect, but I don’t see how general content on the internet can be restricted without putting everything behind an ID-verified login screen or mandating parental filters, which seems quite unrealistic.
Thanks for the feedback and resources!

In designing CodeViz we were inspired by the Maya hypershade, which closely resembles the diagram-based blender tool that you shared.

https://help.autodesk.com/view/MAYAUL/2024/ENU/?guid=GUID-22...

These examples show how taking a diagram-based approach to software development can abstract away complexity with minimal loss of control over the end result. I love your image of "atomic code legos," and these legos can still always be edited the level of code when needed.

And yes, if CodeViz can generate architecture diagrams from code, the inverse can and will be possible: generating code from architecture diagrams.

Oh, if you define specification as something that should be done by people without a PhD, you might have a point.

I don't think software that needs specs should be done by people without a PhD. Jokes aside, I am not saying that Coq is an easy or simple specification tool. But of course it is a specification tool. Actually, it is one of the very few serious specification tools out there.

The search term you're googling for is "ISO/IEC 18013-5", which explains how Apple, Google, and anyone else who wants to implement the standard can do this. Of course, then you'd need to go through a fairly massive audit for the local government to trust that you're not going to immediately upload all your users' PII to the dark web. I'd be shocked if Apple and Google weren't the first ones to successfully complete that part.

It's super annoying to me to be paying $250 a month for a 1 bedroom apartment in Texas for electricity when $2200 of panels, which would be 8000 watts, would be more than enough for my needs during the day (as long as I didn't run the dryer at the same time as the AC, and also accounting for a 400W panel not usually making full power). Obviously other expensive hardware is needed too, but still.
Yeah I keep hearing this but it never pans out, seems like in my experience a lot of people don’t know they might have to turn off an extension or two (ublock, built-in trackers, etc) to get a website to work.
I've lived like that. I lived in the Mission in San Francisco with four of my closest friends (all from NJ) within walking distance. It was great being able to meet up for lunch or drinks or go out clubbing, it was always a pleasant surprise to run into them randomly on the street or in a park.

I lived in midtown Manhattan and I loved being able to go out at 3am in the middle of the winter and find a fresh produce stand on the corner outside my apartment, get falafel wraps and Ethiopian and Thai and sushi and all the other great food during my lunch break, and have museums and concerts and Broadway shows within walking distance.

I lived in the Cayman Islands and had a roommate, could walk to the beach and to my favorite bars, my house was the primary hangout spot for all my friends. I was socializing daily there, and it was a small community where I knew just about everyone everywhere I went.

I'm old now. I don't drink anymore. I have no interest in parties. Even when I live in or near a city, I don't take advantage of much of anything it has to offer. I'm sick of the noise and filth and crowds, the crime and homelessness, the lack of privacy that comes with urban living. All my friends are older, have kids, live in the suburbs and are scattered all over the country. The eight months of the year that I'm not on the road in my RV, I'm living in a cookie-cutter suburban house and have no local friends at all. I exchange pleasantries with the neighbors.

My entire social life is online now, and when I can, I'm traveling. I want maximum peace and quiet. I'll go visit friends and family every couple months if I want to socialize. If/when I do settle down at my far-from-civilization objective, I may very well start feeling lonely and seek out social clubs or social hobbies. But I'll be glad to have my seclusion to return to.

> It's never been misleading about what it is

I would argue "incognito" is misleading when you're not actually incognito to the servers. You're still tracked by many numerous data points that defeat the concept of being incognito.
They are more than middlemen when they are very carefully choosing what content each person sees or doesn't see.

Globalization is a trade policy. US courts still only have jurisdiction in the US.
In case it isn't clear, this case hasn't reached any settlement. A complaint has been filed, but any entitlements of class members are entirely hypothetical at this stage.
Your average person couldn't forge either one. The CA license has a lot of anti-forgery features that I'm sure could be worked around, but not by anyone who isn't premeditating a whole lot of crime.

I can understand a reasonable wish from police departments to verify someone's identity even if they're in a place with bad cell coverage, or during a thunderstorm, or when the radio's busted. An ID card is pretty strong evidence of your real ID that doesn't require power or a radio connection or a computer. A cop can just look at it and say, no, that's clearly your older brother.
I installed the official App for California a while back but the kicker was they said you can't use it for anything. You still need a physical driver license for buying alcohol, if a police officer needs to see it.

> Intel misjudged how much the part would cost to make

I just don't buy it. If Intel realized in hindsight that they could price out a competitive chip, why didn't they sell it to Android manufacturers? So much effort goes into making us lament a world where Intel iPhones existed, but I don't even see the appeal. Intel didn't have a vested interest in ARM (an attitude persisting to this day), they weren't going to acquiesce to Apple's desired margins then or now, and Apple would always have the logical opportunity to cut out their chip middleman. It's about as appealing as a shit sundae sat on a trap door.

> That mistake led to a huge missed opportunity.

Again, was it really that huge? After licensing cost to ARM, core design fees and the bulk deals worked out, I can't see Apple allowing Intel room to breathe. From a certain perspective, it almost seems like Intel never had any desire to genuflect for Apple and only signed the Mac deals to proliferate their existing design catalog. I can't say for sure what the financials worked out to be, but considering Mac market share at the time it makes sense why Intel wasn't super motivated. If we could look at a modern iPhone bill-of-materials, I don't think either of us would feel bad for Intel.

IIRC, the iwmmxt instructions used similar encodings to some of arms vfp extensions, threatening to bifurcate the arm ecosystem (this is alluded to in the article).
At least where we were, you needed a special permit to work if you were under 18, and at the time that would allow kids as young as 14 into the workforce. But, they could only work part-time. I did that later during the summer between my sophomore and junior high school years, to buy a car from my parents.

But as a dishwasher in 6th grade, I didn’t have any adult supervision. I worked alone in there. And I don’t think that kids 16 or under should be working without supervision. And I didn’t have a youth work permit, which was most likely illegal.

I don’t know that I learned a great deal as a dishwasher that would be useful in the adult workplace, other than how to efficiently and quickly load a dishwasher. I guess if I had to go back to that kind of work, I could do it again.

Ironically, the car I bought from my parents was a 1974 Chevy Malibu Classic with a 350ci V8 engine, and if I had been inclined to do street racing, that would have been a perfect car to use for that. But I was a straight arrow and I had no flipping idea what I had in my hands, so I just drove it calmly (well, mostly calmly) to and from school and nothing else.

A couple years later, when I was in college, I wasn’t driving it at all, because there was no reasonable parking on campus, and was effectively forced to take the campus bus. So, I ended up letting the car rot, and we ended up paying a towing company $50 to get it out of the driveway and haul it off for scrap.

Development of postgres is funded by the companies using it, for instance Amazon.

Elasticsearch and Redis are private companies that fund most of the development themselves.

When Amazon sell Elasticsearch and Redis, they are in direct competition with its creators.

Obviously such a situation isn't sustainable in the long run, and as such both Elasticsearch and Redis (and to my knowledge also mongodb) have changed their licenses to avoid that cloud providers sell their OSS product without paying a license or otherwise contributing back.

In the case of Elasticsearch and Amazon, Amazon even used the Elasticsearch brand to sell their own version.

As I see it it's a good thing that cloud providers are forced to take part in maintaining the OSS software (forked or not) that they are cashing in on.
These days the competition is so fierce that everyone's clammed up.
My interpretation of this is it will push social media companies to take a less active role in what they recommend to their users. It should not be possible to intentionally curate content while simultaneously avoiding the burden of removing content which would cause direct harm justifying a lawsuit. Could not be more excited to see this.

A big part of the answer is probably tradition.

But, in general, the further you get from physical artifacts and in-person authentication, the easier it gets to fabricate. I was pretty annoyed earlier this year when I had to show up at a brokerage office for something that was done over email and phone during the pandemic. But I also sorta understand the preference.

There's definitely a tradeoff involved with doing everything online vs. physically showing up in an office.
Yeah but this is not very actionable. It is like saying that one person can win the lottery.

Who knows what websites and pages are even on the web?

There's no index to the web that I know of apart from Google and DuckDuckGo and maybe this Kagi thing.

I want to explore the web - surely search isn't the only way to use the web?

I imagine it could be fun to explore the web, lists and graphs of interest where I can hop from here to there via list of links or graphs or nodes or something?

Does anyone know of anything like this?
In theory you should only get paid if you were actually harmed. For example, I didn't apply for the Sony PS3 Linux class action because I never installed Linux so I never lost anything when they took Linux away. Getting back to this case, I suspect virtually no one can list specific harms due to incognito mode being slightly less incognito than they thought.
Ah yeah true, re-reading not even sure why I replied like that
The T line just opened and I’m already sick of hearing the “transfer here” message eight goddamn times when my train passes Powell Station. It plays in four languages each time, once when Powell is the next station and again at Powell itself.

> or leveling compression that severely unbalance the original mixes. Listening to ZZ Top's 2006 Fandango! remaster

Remasters from ~2003-2013 are terrible because they were mastered in part for listening on shitty iPod earbuds, since that was going to be a large slice of the listening experience for a lot of people.

Later on, as higher-end monitors became more popular, remastering flipped back to being (mostly) good.

This is also why a lot of audiophiles are still confused and keep repeating the “vinyl masters are better” ad nauseam. For that period they were. But before or after that time, a proper digital mastering was already better than vinyl due to the bigger available dynamic range.
author here :)

this is my favorite story from running the site, and possibly the best story I've ever been a part of. I'm not a big crier but I have cried so many times thinking and trying to write about it over the past 2 months. And of course, the process of discovery (and going from panic to excitement) was pretty crazy too.

One of my favorite things about this is that it validated one of the core beliefs I have when making these things - that you need constraints for the small group of people that are jerks, but that for the most part those constraints are fodder for the largely-good and very creative folks that play around on the internet.

Happy to answer any questions folks have!
Key words are "editorial" and "secret sauce". Platforms should not be liable for dangerous content which slips through the cracks, but certainly should be when their user-personalized algorithms mess up. Can't have your cake and eat it to.

Fine enough, if the ranges for each value are wide enough. Compare:

- $120-140k, hetero, white, 190-220 lb, broadly Christian.

- $137,500/y, prefers tall redhead females, Irishman originally from Cork, 197 lb, observant Catholic.

The first one is too unspecific, while the second could suffice to identify a particular person in a neighborhood.

What makes a butter knife safe is not that it's completely devoid of an edge, but that its edge is sufficiently blunt.
The problem is not people’s denials being lies, but that they actually were denied illegally.
Sure it's foolish, but so was trying to 'outcompete' industry giants like IBM and Microsoft in the early 90s with a hobby kernel. That didn't stop a certain Finn from just writing a kernel anyway. If that project hadn't taken off, then maybe another one, or another one.

Replacing any substantial parts of the Linux project with Rust also would be multi-decade effort, most likely more effort than forking off a separate evolutionary branch (which is probably the most realistic option). Such forks happened all the time in the history of UNIX.
I'll do you one better:

We should just have a publicly-funded health insurance plan that applies to every American at a basic level. Then you don't have to have a massive bureaucracy to figure out who's eligible, who's not, how long they are eligible, etc.

We've successfully spent more money trying to deny people public benefits than we probably would have just providing a basic level of public benefits to everyone.
