As others said, you need it from a legal perspective rather than a technical one. This is particularly true in the US, where the "fruit of poisonous tree" doctrine is pretty strict: if your evidence was not gathered in the proper manner, it must be discarded and it invalidates any further effort based on it. In specific, wiretapping is illegal even when done by authorities, unless they've been authorized by judges - the relevant US laws were tightened up after it emerged (with Watergate) that president Nixon was eavesdropping on his political rivals.
Having read Sapolsky’s stuff (firm recommendation for ‘Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers’), I’m under the impression that trying to eliminate chronic stress is of paramount importance for one’s health.

Nowadays I’m an entrepreneur which isn’t stress free, but I feel like the bouts are more acute and chronically I feel quite liberated due to having control over everything.

I know this will vary by person. Some would dread having so many moving parts in their life, but I always found being bossed around to be the most draining part of work.

Super impressive, and I can see it being useful in many cases already. Especially making interactive experiences in combination with position tracker of a user in a room. As you move around the room your perspective changes.

In a more creative approach I could imagine creating fake windows using flat-screen TVs in this approach as well. As you move around the room the perspectives would change as well, giving an illusion of the windows being real. Of course this would only work for a single person at a time but it would be quite interesting to experience. It should not be too difficult to hack it together as a solo dev.

> "Over the last several years, the company's financial position has been severely impacted by the challenging macroeconomic environment," Tupperware's chief executive Laurie Ann Goldman said in a statement to investors, external.

I agree that their food storage products, which is what Tupperware is most known for, have suffered from the abundance of next best alternatives in the market. However, I just went on their website and all their products and product lines feel so uninspired.

I would blame their decline in demand due to lack of innovation as a way to stay relevant. They could’ve ventured into other areas that capitalise on their ‘airtight’ applications. That’s what made Tupperware unique when it was founded.

For example, a consumer product line of waterproof bags or cases for electronic devices and other important items. Due to brand awareness and trust, they could’ve really leveraged the ‘Tupperware’ brand there in a way that other brands couldn’t.

Or highly invest in R&D for more industrial and scientific applications that require airtight solutions or vacuum spaces. This would’ve created highly lucrative partnerships that would’ve kept them afloat even if sales for their consumer products dwindled.
Interesting. I see HN has mangled my code block onto 1 line and replaced a couple stars, but the fixup should be obvious...

Yes, it is, it should, and that's exactly the point. It'd look janky even without the `[-1]`, and this is what the core devs are trying to protect against. Lambdas are anonymous functions meant only to be used in places where expressions are valid, such as function parameters and return values. There's even a linter warning if you assign one to a variable. All to help reduce the creation of janky-looking code, and that's a huge benefit for most developers.

That is why we have GDPR in a first place. But apparently we need something more strict then.
The fetishisation of work addiction has a part to play in this. People have a tendency to accept abuse when they think it's "normal". For example, if your parents fought and argued all the time it's natural to think that's normal and find yourself in a similar, toxic relationship and never question it. We keep getting fed this idea that you need to break your back ("grind") to succeed, that working all day and all night is a good thing etc. So people will push themselves much further than they otherwise would.

The people who cared for this person told her to stop, but she kept going because she believed (and this is a direct quote from the still grieving parent) that "becoming a chartered accountant involves years of toil, hardship and sacrifice". But who is telling these lies? The media, who fetishise this stuff, and the people who "made it" who, by the way, inherited their wealth, were a nepotism hire or are just more genetically gifted and/or lucky than you. Everyone will tell you their job is hard, they struggle and they deserve what they have, yet their backs are miraculously intact.

Getting to the position I'm at has involved years of work and study, but hardship and toil? You've got to be kidding. I enjoy what I do. It's not a hardship. I read books and write programs for fun. I would never tell anyone that to succeed in this field they need to lose sleep and sacrifice their health and relationships. That would be abusive. That's how this starts.

You know, as this is a tech forum, I'll reply via a tech business, re: branding angle.

Yes Gold Apollo, they were yours. That's because you licensed your name, and your name is your business.

(EG your mark(name) of trade)

I've seen this in everything from hotels to frying pans. License that name! We made 1% more this quarter. Yeehaw!

Holiday in has corporate owned hotels, franchised hotels, and of course licensed hotels. Franchised ones have more control from corporate, licensed far less. And it shows.

Same as t-fal, which in Canada is just the cheapest junk you can get, with Canadian Tire owning and manufacturing under the name:

This worked well pre-Internet, but now people see reviews for Canadian Tire t-fal when researching pans in Europe. Way to trash your local name.

Now a tactic saved for supplements and conspiracy theories
> Both posts linked above were made with full identity disclosure.

Well that's why I said those posts are a bad example. I'm talking about those who pose as something they're not funded to do so, covertly.

So lets say, if you had someone from a foreign country with an ID Check claim to be something they're not (you could even publicly display their country), would make all of those efforts a bit more transparent.

Or for example, with group of Youtubers known to promote propaganda, now we know they were paid to do so by a foreign country. Now you can completely dismiss them, and with an easy reminder, you can put their credibility in check.

> Does this awareness make manipulation less effective?

I think so, the best thing you can do is inform people. Of course, this should be done collectively, or else it would be targeted for conspiracy theories.

It's actually a pretty common law to have in some form to penalize tax evasion and capital flight.

Most higher developed countries have it in some form (with varying degree of strictness, scoping etc.).

Technically you also pay the tax in the process of losing your citizenship not after losing it.

A more "fair" approach probably would be if capital (especially bound capital which generates more capital, like companies) are "pinned" to a country and transferring it from there involve paying tax (oversimplified).

Then when renouncing US citizenship you would only need to pay "exit" tax if you also move your capital out of the US (e.g. your US company) but if you have a UK company it would already be pinned to the UK and you wouldn't pay exit tax on it (but you would have had to pay taxes on moving capital from the US to the UK to found the company).

But I mean it's a purely hypothetical approach:

- it is very much in conflict with globalization and investing in foreign companies (you have to pay exit tax on the money you invest outside the US!). This means it also hinds projection of US power by getting influence into foreign companies through investments.

- it's not really viable to retroactively apply it

- it kinda requires all countries to agree on this law

- it would mess with investment banks, fond etc.

- it's a mess when it comes to international buying of goods (as you want to prevent laundering capital moving through unusual good buying schemes)
Somebody in Russia is probably thinking right now "you know, that was quite a clever idea".

This makes an assumption that Israel cares about making it's list of targets as small as possible. Israel has shown over and over again that it is happy casting a very wide net when labelling people as legitimate targets, using fuzzy machine learning to label large numbers of people without any direct evidence. Israel also has a higher acceptance of the deaths of innocents than any other western aligned & supplied nation, literally happy if dozens or more civilians are killed in order to kill one member of Hamas or Hezbollah. They or their proxies then blame their opponents for the deaths of innocents, ignoring that the accepted rules of war are that civilian deaths should be minimized.

For me the huge part of Grammarly's magic is that it's not just in the browser, but in any text input on desktop with their desktop app (with some exceptions). Having it only in only in one application just doesn't cut it, especially since it's not my browser of choice.
Are there any plans regarding desktop integration. Linux is woefully underserved in this space with all major offerings (Grammarly, Languagetool) having only macOS/Windows versions.
A lot of what I have been following is from here[1] and mentions:
- "Today's attacks exposed many members at various levels. While the group says many of those injured are medical staff or administrative personnel and not fighters..." as well as
- "Then we started seeing CCTV from inside shops and supermarkets of these small explosions targeting people doing their groceries or paying at the checkout.

Then for hours on end [we heard] the wail of sirens. The internal security forces were asking people to get off the streets because traffic was overwhelming the city."

And from my understanding of that region's geopolitics, isn't Hezbollah a political party? So this is like reading about a nation state blanket bombing targets that are of members of the Republican party right?

This is complicated. The don't just zip up all the customer data and send it over, at least they say that they run aggregated queries for GSK and just tell them the answer. But then they say that the data is "anonymized" before this, which seems unnecessary and impossible.

Imho it's very difficult to anonymize any data, and especially something like DNA. Without an external audit amd some mathematical guarantee (e.g. differntial privacy) I work on the assumption that they do the bare minimum to pass legal muster but anyone who made the effort could confidently associate the data with real people after the fact.
You're overestimating the importance of that specific chip.
That's what makes Linux great. The entire Linux user space is replaceable. You can trash it all and make your own if you want to. You can trash systemd, write your own program and boot Linux directly into it if that's what you want. And people do, myself included. Not a single other operating system lets you do this. There's always some component that you cannot touch.

I'd rather have the chaos of Linux distributions than the tyranny of "standard" ways of doing things.

> Nvidia's Grace CPU are competitive against AMD's CPUs

I don't think PS/Xbox are using AMDs 64+ core server chips like Milan etc.

> I assume you have good sources to back up the claim that Neoverse V2/V3/V4

These are data center CPUs designed for very different purposes. Neoverse is only used in chips that target very specific, highly parallelized workloads. The point is having a very high number 64-128+ of relatively very slow but power efficient cores and extremely high bandwidth.

e.g Grace has comparable single thread performance to Ryzen 7 3700X (a 5 year old chip). Sure MT performance is 10x better but how does that matter for gaming workloads?

I assume you could boost the frequency and build a SoC with several times less core than all recent Neoverse chips (if ARM let's you). Nobody has done that or publically considered doing it. I can't prove that it's impossible but can you provide any specific arguments why do you think that you be a practical approach?

> substantially more powerful than something like Cortex-X4.

Of course it's just rumors but Nvidia seems to be going with ARM A78C which is a tier below X4. Which is not particularly surprising since Nintendo would rather spend money on other components / target a lower price point. As we've agreed the GPU is the important part here the CPU will probably be comparable to an off the shelf SoC you can get from Qualcomm or even MediaTek.

That might change in the future but I don't see any evidence that Nvidia is somehow particularly good at building CPUs or is close to being in the same tier as AMD, Intel, Qualcomm (maybe even Ampere depending if they finally deliver what they have been promising in the near future).

Same applies to Grace, the whole selling point is integration with their datacenter GPUs. For CPU workloads it provides pretty atrocious price/performance and it would make little sense to buy it for that.

Excellent quote. While the effect of American music is huge without a doubt let me go off on a personal tangent because it's related.

I have immigrated from my homeland (first to Canada and then Malta) and I usually say "I had the bad luck to be born in Hungary but I fixed that when I could". In other words, I am not particularly fond of the country / people living in there. But it being my mother tongue, growing up there has an interesting effect: some Hungarian songs have a much stronger emotional effect than any in say English. These are not even songs I knew as a child. I am actually quite curious whether there has been scientific research in this.
Almost 3000 wounded are not a problem if they're Hezbollah, no? The child is tragic of course, but one dead child when targeting enemy soldiers is more ethical than the dead children in deliberate attacks on civilians, which is what Hezbollah is doing.

Why are you pretending otherwise? Is it the bigotry of low expectations? Arabs/Muslims can act very reasonable and humane too, so there's no reason to measure them with a different yard stick
