The raid no doubt was carried out by the police. They just what they are told to do by an organisation that is higher up. No one will get reasons. Maybe the chief of police. But only a limited amount so he can claim plausible deniability.

The dirty people behind all this are in the way they run the investigations. And what way is that ? Well it’s the “organised crime investigations”. The Netherlands pushed the RIEC way of working here to Germany and Belgium. Look it up. Euriec.

The whole way of working is to do dirty tricks in an unaccountable way.
Yup, that's completely true. But as somebody who typically prefers to buy "cheap" brands, and is usually completely satisfied by them, the fact that I experience such a wide gulf between Boar's Head and other brands makes me think it's not a marketing mind trick.

Yeah I didn't phrase it very well, what I meant was that you're not applying for any old job on the tech team. You apply for a specific job, presumably one you're qualified for that would be a step up in your career.

If you look at a very small sample of people and one racial minority or gender has all the "lower" jobs, that doesn't tell you what jobs they were "offered" it just tells you what jobs they applied for.
Watery, yes, that's definitely a component of it!

> For example, one of my favorite Majordomo dishes is a whole boiled chicken. We present the bird to the table in a big pot, bring it back to the kitchen to carve it, and then return with a beautiful platter of rice topped with the sliced breasts and two different sauces spooned over the top. Once guests are finished with that, we bring out a soup made from the carcass. It’s so good.

The point is that the diner gets to see the chicken they will eat and understand the process.

The efficient way described in the blog is to instead use a stunt chicken which'll be paraded around the dining room instead of being cooked.

That's not a process improvement when the entire point of the dish is to show the diners what they will eat before they eat it and flex the restaurant's ability to coordinate.

Purposeful inefficiency is beautiful when it's about retro video game console programming or mechanical watches, because that's about spotlighting the process. Both of these are inefficient---modern computers are more powerful and quartz watch keep time better---but are fascinating because the difficulty of programming in assembly or an intricate series of tiny gears have inherent value to some people, far beyond the result of a video game or getting the current time.

It's a complicated finely tuned process to get a chicken from your table to the kitchen and back again. The chef wants employees that value the process itself, which is a fair ask when the process is the product.

> What does it say about the practical usefulness of this Windows facility that MS has, it seems, never maintained one of these 'personalities' long-term?

I am no defender of MICROS~1 but I think this is a misrepresentation.

1. Win32 is an NT personality and it is still actively maintained after 31 years.

2. Win16 ran on NTVDM which arguably is tantamount to a personality, and that is still present and works in Windows 10 32-bit today.

3. Downvotes or not, I stand by my point: the original POSIX personality became Windows Services for Unix, which went through 4 releases: 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Services_for_UNIX

V2 was effectively replaced by Interix.

But WSU was effectively a proprietary x86-32 Unix. Those are all dead and gone now, Xinuos notwithstanding, and having such a tool is no use in C21.

So, it was axed 20Y ago. 12Y later it was replaced by WSL.

WSL 1 was replaced by WSL2, and I mourn its lost potential. I feel WSL1 should have become a proper NT personality, which would have resulted in some improvements to Windows' capabilities.

I've come to realize I don't want to put that kind of brain energy into ordering fast food. So I just stopped going. I make up some refried beans and some meat (normally chili verde) and freeze them (separately) for when I want 'fast food'. If I have to play (and learn how to maximize) some corporate dark pattern games then nah, I'm good bro.
'filled'

False, you get a few sprinkles.

My toddler unwrapped one of their burritos and... it was all shell. It was pretty traumatic. I stopped thinking I was getting a deal. My homemade burritos are literally 10x more filled. Taco bell is great at wrapping their shells.
If you ever trust comments over code you really need to adjust your approach. Comments are there to help guide you towards the intent of code, not to let you ignore code. Same reason why if a function has a bug, you don't ignore that bug just because the function's doc says otherwise.
If you read books from the early 1900s (Radium Girls, Rocket Boys, Seabiscuit), it's painfully obvious to see how incredibly exploitative industries can become (literally working people to death) without something like a union to check corporate greed against worker well-being.

It's a fine balance though. Unions are organizations very similar to companies and can fall victim to the same sins as exploitative companies (or worse, like in the 60s when the Teamsters Union became controlled by the mafia and was used to further organized crime goals)
And still, it’s one of the greatest works of popular history ever written.

Because you are absolutely right, doing things that are inefficient and stupid for the sake of it is absolutely dumb.

This is where it makes sense. He does care about integrity. If you foster a culture of faking little things like this it can eventually grow into a culture of faking the big things that actually do matter.
> If the content really is a table, then it is very hard to imagine how making an entire row into a link could be meaningful.

While not a link, each file in a MacOS Finder List view is selectable view a single click target that encompasses the entire table row. It's definitely a table, and the entire row is a click target. Is that also odd, or is the _link_ part of it the thing you specifically find odd?
Uber is objectively worse for every single party involved. Driver makes less, customer pays more, Uber has to coordinate a huge system.

>I remain a HUGE fan of Casio watches.

Which models do you have?

I stopped buying them since the features are quite weak (no vibration, no countdown timer, poor UX), and the prices now are unreasonable for what they do (40+ euros for a basic plastic watch that only tells time is taking the piss, when that money can get you a fitness tracker with Bluetooth, color OLED, GPS and vibration).
Interesting but I'm wondering if the last part there is something being overlooked:

> “As long as computers do not physically reproduce themselves, humans will remain the principal and control the behaviors of computers with AI, just like the brain is unable to replicate itself and, as result, continues to function as an agent for the genes,” Lee writes.

I think there are sci-fi stories with AI self-replicating in software, not in hardware. I wonder if this was considered by the author. Surely there can be an AI with its own goals and ability to self-replicate at the software level like a computer virus, in theory. Current AI does not have this architecture though, it is only a static program, but it could be something that is constantly running like service and along with it the goal to spread itself across computers and networks.
Will temporal stability ever be a solved problem? A lot of these shots are still pretty "goopy" and present more action than really exists or just shuffles around constantly. The dandelion and reindeer examples are jarringly inorganic and would probably get identified as AI by most people who see it, I'd imagine.
I'm curious: If I were to share the same link again now, I'll be forwarded to the latest submission instead. Interestingly, this link was shared twice in the past few days (click the "past" link above - and, yes, one of the submitters was I). How, then, was it that neither of the recent submitters, including myself, were forwarded to the latest at the time, but instead new submissions were created?
I think the music video actually holds up today, especially compared to some CG even in the 2000s (i.e. The Rock in the Mummy Returns). The 3D world is clean, bright and colorful.

I think Max Headroom was going for a different mood, and that style wouldn't have fit, but the style is perfectly fine in a vacuum.

> You are claiming

On the off chance that this was not written by some bad LLM that will miss the point again... I'm claiming that some countries with power are in a never ending cycle of pulling some appalling, odious crap that furthers their interest and keep that crap buried for a generation or so, then after enough time passes the crap surfaces and the new generation who also benefited from that offers some weak platitudes about how the appalling, odious crap "was not a very nice thing to do" while pulling their generation's version of odious, appalling crap to further their interest and keep that crap buried for a generation or so. And so on.

In the chorus of voices that say today "wow, what the CIA was doing back then was pretty not ok" are people who benefit from what the CIA did and is still doing as we speak. People who vote, support, subsidize these acts, or take part in committing them even without knowing.

If you just read to answer you'll never get the point. And big words can only take you so far in hiding it.

Supporting AVIF in Google Search
Hi, author of the article here.

Regarding determinism, I think the reason the assertion is "no deterministic local hidden.." is that, you need to break both the deterministic and locality assumption. However there is a nuance, which is, do you need to break both properties to..

(a) break the Bell inequalities, or, to

(b) reproduce quantum mechanics..

which is not exactly the same thing.

For example, in my toy simulation framework, this [1] simple setup --- where Alice's two measurement devices always return +1, and Bob's two measurement devices are conditioned on Alice's returned value, without any randomness --- breaks the Bell-inequalities at S=4, but:

(1) it's not physical, because it also breaks the Tsirelson bound (4 > 2.82), ie. you can't actually achieve this with any known real-world physical system

(2) it's deterministic in the sense that the code does not call `random()`

(3) but from the perspective of Bob, who "calls" the measurement function, it would still appear random, since it depends on whether Alice measures H or T, which was the outcome of a random coin flip; so whether we consider this random is quite nuanced..

So the above is an interesting thought/Python experiment for what it takes to break the Bell inequalities. Then, if we modify the code to reproduce quantum mechanics (for which the 2 qubits stand in), which is the code shown in the original post, in that case we cannot even avoid calling `random()`, because the "first" to measure their qubit must also get +1 and -1 with equal probabilility, so the theory cannot be deterministic.

I semi-agree. We have too many people complaining about economics. Cut out fast food, and suddenly they have an extra few thousand dollars to spend.
Plus IPv6 has significant downsides (more complex, harder to understand, more obscure failure modes, etc…), so the actual cost of moving is the transition cost + total downside costs + extra fears of unknown unknowns biting you in the future.
The <table> element has so many arbitrary restrictions (that I'm sure have their legacy/accessibility reasons) that it's honestly not usable in a fully featured table component. For simple tabular data display, sure. But for anything beyond that, just use divs.

Show HN: AvifHash v0 – Compact and efficient image placeholders
AvifHash leverages the power of AVIF to create image placeholders that are both compact and efficient.

This Proof of Concept shows promising results: at 27 characters, AvifHash outperforms BlurHash https://blurha.sh/ (using 4x3 components) in quality and detail retention. At a similar quality, BlurHash needs 54 (5x5) to 76 characters (6x6 components).

Given that AVIF decoding is done by the web engine, AvifHash is very small: the entire demo page (including parsing and re-hydration code) is only 2.3 kB gzipped.

I buy my chili crunch from an asian market, and both their fresh stuff and their packaged imported stuff is cheaper and tastes better. David Chang's advantage is that he is selling in normal grocery stores so there isn't really competition. Put his stuff on a shelf at an asian market where there is 5 or 6 different brands and a consumer base that has been buying this for years, and they won't sell.

Many if not most companies outsource employment verification to The Work Number. When you get a new job, a frozen report will complicate your background check.

They don't give out salary info in employment checks though. AFAIK they require your explicit permission except for government agencies who use it to verify your eligibility for benefits. I would be surprised if they are not selling aggregate salary data though

When there was a google cache of everything available online it was harder to point at IA because you would need to face the juggernaut if you wanted to challenge caches in court. It feels like google is basically saying "good luck" with this change now, I foresee NYT and their scummy ilk getting aggressive about their precious content farms being jeopardized.

These days there is a full native Btrfs implementation for Windows.

It's complete enough you can boot and run Windows from Btrfs.

I wonder how many of these limitations affect this, notably performance.

If WSL1 could natively talk to Btrfs without the performance-sapping translation to NTFS, would that resolve the poor Git performance etc?
