There are no real problems for him mentioned in the article. He had loans of about 1 billion, increasing to 1.2 billion at the peak, but his shareholdings in Oracle were 10x of that.

His advisor did his job by warning that this could go wrong if Oracle stock dropped massively. But it never dropped that far, so he was fine.
Right but I feel similarly about excel/sheets and powerpoint. But they make almost every office worker a bit more productive, so it’s a good market.
Maybe there's just no good solution here, but I think the original inspiration for this sort of law was about family homes. It's one thing to inherit stocks and have to sell some of them off, but it's much more complex to try to pass down a property that can't be arbitrarily subdivided. There are various options obviously, but I think enough people had to sell their beloved childhood home because of the tax obligation that came with the inheritance that someone thought there ought to be a law. Maybe your idea plus a carve out for a primary residence could work, but it doesn't seem politically feasible to me.
What your choice of workplace web browser says about you
A person who believes they'll be caught and face consequences for committing crimes is strongly affected by knowing there is heavy surveillance of their criminal activities. They're less likely to be deterred just knowing that a lot of other people will randomly have guns, in fact that makes them more likely to also have a gun and to shoot first (e.g.: that actor who was gunned down confronting someone who was stealing a catalytic converter).
Immutable distros like Fedora Silverblue, Kinoite, etc don't let you modify the base system at all, and always let you roll back in case an update broke something. They're probably the most reliable Linux systems available today.

Back when I used to cross the San Mateo bridge frequently, I'd see the same group of drivers routinely driving dangerously and breaking multiple laws. I had dashcam footage. I once called up CHP and asked if they wanted it. They politely told me where to shove it

The police don't want to enforce the laws that are written. They don't even pull over drivers without license plates.
Remarkably, Twitter had fake jobs for most of its history. Any new Stanford graduate in any field could have one.

I suspect he’s optimizing everything he does to be immediately suitable for publication. He’s not so much publishing the results of his research as he is publishing the process of it. I also suspect that he is driven by a deep-seated need to prove his worth to the world, a need that he has to continuously satisfy (but is never really satisfied), that motivates this level and method of activity.
Yea. They all do it. It's a well known exploitable tax loophole. You have to be rich to even take advantage of this method of tax evasion. This is probably one of the best digestible write ups that I've seen on the topic, I highly recommend just reading it.
Last blog post he wrote on Medium. Guess there's not much more to say when the computer's writing the code.
Seems unlikely. Value extraction would lead to big dividends but declining share price.
What's this non serious crime you speak of? It certainly not theft and traffic violations. theft ruins people's lives. traffic violations get people killed. Since 2010, the number of people dying in car accidents has gone up 50% per capita

I can imagine scenarios where known failure modes on an "inferior" tool are better than unknown failure modes on a "superior" one.
It's not just the hardware, it's the software stack too and my understanding is that they aren't very good. Even TPUs aren't great if you aren't either (1) doing something extremely standard and a little bit old (e.g. not forefront of research and the stack has already been optimized for your model) or (2) in Google with access to the people who build the stack.

Maybe it is working for Meta or Tesla where things can be vertically integrated, but for the public clouds, they have to buy NVIDIA for their customers.
So if the camera is in your car you are ok with them towing it away to pull the footage if they can't get in touch with you right away leaving you without a car?

What if while looking at your footage for a crime outside your home (not related to you or your property) they see you doing something that could constitute a charge should they be able to share you for it as well?

If someone saw you out in front of your house on your phone during the time of the crime should the authorities be able to seize your phone under the assumption that you were likely recording the incident?

The Constitution was written by wealthy white men. Is it any surprise that it's design was to protect the minority interests of the very men who wrote it?

And to this very day the Constitution still provides those wealthy white men with the means to use their wealth to control the levers of power. Money equals political power in America - and almost certainly everywhere on earth. Those of us who do not belong to the top 0.5% are left to argue over the inconsequential changes in government. We have nothing to say about changing the power structure itself.
Cassidy Williams: Navigating the Career Jungle Gym in Tech
Speak for yourself. My ancestors pre-industrial revolution were half starved tenant farmers making a subsistence living on too small plots of farmland in colonized Ireland, subject to random slaughter when the English changed their plans.

Now, our extended family is prosperous in the US, Australia and Ireland. We’re taller, healthier and mostly in professional or skilled trade jobs.

The past is often seen through a sepia tinted idealized slant. The past was full of suffering and brutality. Even warfare was just as brutal - in ancient times, Caesar slaughtered 1-2% of the global population in Gaul. In the 17th century, marauding armies picked regions cleaned and left thousands to starve.
> If you are doing mostly web development, I don’t think you will need Linux specifically

That leads to the nightmare that is Windows servers running custom code.

Nope, if you are doing web development, you should learn Linux too. You are excused if you are doing Windows desktop software, or working on one of those proprietary platforms that only run on Windows. But even on the second case, you should learn Linux so you can look for alternatives, as they are a very degrading experience.
Hillbilly Lament
The state’s first goal is to protect the state’s continued existence. Anything that can be seen as interfering with that can be labeled an enemy and relegated to subhuman/other/destroy on contact status. From there, state violence, and from there, nazis.
Can't fathom why this bothers you so much but it is relevant as this sentence immediately leads into a story the conductor on the train was giving about the history of the rail. Would you rather the author leave that experience out of the story because it makes you uncomfortable?
As you become fluent in shell/CLI, you will naturally gravitate towards Linux anyway, at least if you want those skills to be usefully transferable.
I love the way Bubbletea looks, but it is nightmarishly hard to do anything more than what is outlined in the examples.
So funny to watch the US competing with China to be the most authoritarian state.
Looks nice! I was using typeform to collect surveys but found the UX weird so I switched to Google Forms. Found we got more conversions too, it's just simpler to use. The one thing missing was I wanted a way to redirect someone after they completed the form. That wasn't supported so if there is anyone else in a similar boat, I made this (free) service: https://www.gfrdr.com.
Ambitious effort! Was this motivated by regulation?

It would be interesting to compare the capabilities and policy challenges of at-scale data privacy, with patterns in single-node systems like SE Linux and App Armor, which have been historically daunting.

As much as I think I'd love to be able to write traffic tickets during my commutes, I don't think anyone wants to live in a world where everyone is a cop.

I think you'll find too that a lot of people think laws are for other people. My speeding is totally justified.
Oh, definitely. But the average tumblr user won't wake up one day and have their page look like a wordpress site. (There's a chance they'll wake up one day and everything is down for a while, but that's a different matter.)
This is why Amazon, Red Hat and Google all can justify to employ hundreds of engineers all contributing to a common product. Amazon can work on security functionality with no risk that Red Hat will veto it because it threatens its revenue stream. And while none of the top kernel developers have made billions from their important work, they still earn well, and all the mentioned companies have grown to become billion dollar companies.

This can't be stressed enough. OSS does monetarily work for the developers too. FAANGs love paying top dollar for OSS maintainers.
All 4 day week pilots to date have been overwhelmingly successful [1]. This should be a no brainer considering existing productivity levels combined with Parkinson’s Law (“work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion“). With process improvements and scheduling, the biggest hurdle is ideology around work. You see this emphasized in the US with people bragging how hard they work themselves, in Japan it’s not leaving until the boss leaves and similar [2].

Tangentially, as the working age cohort shrinks, labor has more power in this regard, and Japan’s labor force continues to shrink due to structural demographics decline [3].

I do not want to stop tech progress, but I do want to stop social regress. Give it another 20-30 years and we will have same shit problems with freedoms as China, Russia, insert your fav scapegoat here.
No, but be careful where you draw the line. In particular, don't draw it between "real estate" and "financial assets". Real estate can easily be a financial asset. Instead, the trick is to draw it between "family farm" and "billionaire who bought 100,000 acres of prime farmland".
Lovely that their blog with privacy propaganda has a cookie banner that is not compliant with any privacy law in any way. Says everything about their efforts, I guess.
I think the difference is historically the average person wasn't doing a lot of surveillance where as an office place did.

Many people do not want their cameras in the doors, property, cars, etc being used by the police for cases that do not directly impact them.... they do not want to be involved, same as many "witnesses" will simply say they didn't see or know anything and be uncooperative.

As cameras start becoming more and more built into every day items many people suddenly can find themselves thrust into situations they want nothing to do with, so sure search warrants have existed forever but the chance of it impacting the average non-involved party were pretty slim, that chance is growing and people dislike it.
Unless I missed something, they’ve added a handwriting mode, which is cool but not necessarily an improvement over something like Mathematica. I don’t want to have to carry an Apple Pencil with me and write long hand every time I want to solve an equation.
> hardware product as well, the Copy II PC Option Board, which intercepted data from the floppy drive directly (much as a modern flux capture device does). This allowed duplication of many copy-protection methods that software products couldn't handle. It was relatively inexpensive as well.

Those were so much fun.

I wrote disks for software we distributed; we never had formal "copy protection" but the disks were signed. When folks called in and support asked them to read their serial number off the help screen it would say "copy". standard floppy drives with a small hack using this board and some lightly hacked demo thing to write a "bad" sector with the brand after the main duplication, as i recall.

It's not just the police. How could such a corrupt police exist without corrupt superiors higher up in the government? Fear of governments is justified, they're the most powerful entity in our world. They can get away with murder.

The US is not Iceland, a simple fix that would just make people trust the police is impossible. Also as an aside, the police isn't your only problem. Tesla, Google & co are paving the way normalizing these mobile surveillance units. We'll have millions of them driving around everywhere with HD cameras, microphones, in some cases even LiDAR and radar. Recording constantly. Of course there's a bit of an issue if you are not a fan of mass surveillance. Even if corporations are the only ones in charge of that data. I know for example that the Tesla video feed can be accessed online, because owners can remotely view it with their app. And if they can do this, so can others in theory. All you need is a bug or Tesla servers getting hacked.

Ugh, upvoted because I've seen this too. Lots of "businessing" being done so it could be billed, but nothing actually gets produced besides reports and talks and dinners and meetings and documentation, and then, the project gets quietly scrapped until the next one starts and it's rinse-repeat. It feels like perpetual money laundering of shareholder value into contractors (and employees, honestly, too).
Regarding #2 is that not an OPTION that may or may not get turned on?

Regarding #1 you are correct that DRIVING is a privilege however property ownership is a RIGHT and I'm assuming we aren't talking about a vehicle in motion when we are talking about the police unable to contact an owner.

Their nest is about 15 meters from my window, and they often sit on a fence about 5 meters from my window. And because it's always the same pair, you learn how they look after a while.

I probably won't be able to distinguish them in a big flock, but we only have a few crows that regularly fly around my area.

Recently, their chicks also started flying around, so I also keep seeing them. They are slightly smaller, with really nice glossy "baby" feathers.
Don't be naive. Today they require photos from cops, tomorrow from fans.
They aren’t getting warrants to tow the vehicles. They have no right to seize private property, especially the private property of someone not even involved with the crime in question. And what if the Tesla owner, as is their right or at least should be, refuses to release the video footage? How long do the police keep the illegally seized vehicle while the owner sorts out the seizure before the courts and at what personal cost? And what is prevents the police from obtaining the video through extrajudicial means? Does Tesla itself have access to the video? Can they sell/give it to the police? Are there legal safeguards against this or is it an open market as the linked Reason article shows? All of the above applies to any aftermarket camera security system as well. Also, if the police get access to the car data by some means, can they use any of the data to file separate charges against an uncooperative owner as retribution if they desire? There are many questions along these lines when dealing with an intrusive police state.
It would still make sense to have a single manager that also makes then to have multiple mentors each kinda faking the managing part.

Freedom does not require Liberty because Freedom does not require the state. Liberties are granted, not natural, Freedoms. Freedom sounds great and people love to hype it, but doesn’t exist in a meaningful way in most advanced societies.

This is becoming less and less the case, unless you use a more DIY-oriented distribution such as Void.

Most systemd distributions have a lot of technical merit (I like Fedora Silverblue), but they are increasingly becoming monolithic, so hackability isn't one of their strengths.

I remember a time when Linux was pure anarchy, with loosely coupled independent subsystems that could easily be experimented with and replaced. Now, most distributions are much closer to macOS: they "just work", but you're not supposed to mess with them. So long for hackability.
In a country of ~300 million people and with billions of people speaking English or having English as a second language that doesn’t sound like that many? If I bought the paper edition of the NYT most days for $2 that would be ~$600/yr in which case the online subscription would be good value and they would probably keep those subscribers as they are already demonstrating that they are dedicated repeat customers. If they also added the option to add 15 article reads to your account every now and then for $2 they would create a digital equivalent for the kind of person who buys a paper now and then.
Mac is so far behind it isn’t even close. WSL2 for most people is perfectly fine and is 100% Linux. macOS docker support is just bad in comparison.

The sad part about all of this is that Mac hardware is on another level and you can’t buy anything like it for other oses.
Typography is hard and takes up a lot of cpu time. Even though AmigaOS had support for proportional fonts with bullet.library, I would still use Topaz, MicroKnight, p0t-n00dle or some other fixed 88 or 816 font for Workbench.

The example code for the Amiga with bullet.library seemed OK on the 8MHz cpu (7.xx MHz) and would be fast enough maybe with 1 bit plane, but when the Amiga is advertised as a colour computer people would complain why it's only 1bitplane, although the Amiga DTP program did that and in interlace as well.

Early 1980s Atari TOS/GEM had the windows aligned on 16 pixel boundaries (M68k word length) to make redrawing easier and faster, I don't know if early Macontish System 1.X had that as well to speed it up on 8Mhz M68K CPU.
This irritates me. What was the point of THEIR comment? To be cunty? It absolutely was NOT a productive comment. They were being an ass. And you’re defending them being an ass, asking me who I am like I’m somehow not allowed to point out someone being a cunt unless I have some type of status symbol of which you need to approve. At this point I can only fathom you’re a coworker or friend of theirs, hence the defense. Nothing else makes sense.
Honestly surprised weather is so low. I’ve seen a few that seem shady and they don’t even have to make up a lame excuse as to why they need location.
