In theory, but it is extremely easy to get into the mindset that your hypothesis is absolutely true, and as such your goal is to prove that hypothesis.

I’ve never fabricated numbers for anything I’ve done, but there certainly have been times where I thought about it, usually after the fourth or fifth broken multi-hour test, especially if the test breakage doesn’t directly contradict the hypothesis.
I just use a simple priority list when managing teams or working individually.

New issues are added to the list based on priority. And only “emergency” issues can pause current work to be paused.

Everything else is done face to face as needed without formal meetings.

It’s simple. It works.

I tried it again, and still couldn't figure out how to get rid of the About screen once it has been run.

What I additionally noticed, is that right clicking on its minimized form re-maximizes and gives the browser dropdown at the same time. I'm not sure if you can stop the browser part though. That might be out of your control.
good write-up
OSI was established specifically because companies got queasy over free software's quasi-religious rationale behind the "four freedoms" and wanted something that sounded a lot more pragmatic while effectively being the same thing.

Don't get facts twisted, it was never "if you happen to peek at the code, it's open"; it's the full freedom backing behind it. That's exactly what the OSD is about, which was linked int the parent, if you bothered to read it.
If you think Bluesky is relatively progressive then Mastodon would abhor you.
People like X because they can just start shouting into the void and people who care what they have to say might hear it and actually start listening to them on purpose.

But then they complain that some such people might say negative things about the thing they've shouted into the void. Not csay negative things to them. That can already be prevented. Say negative things to other people.

If you're going to say something publicly, you don't get to complain about who can hear/read/see it. If you want to control your audience, speak privately.
Not your parent here.

People around is great. People around in great density tends to breed problems instead. Your parent is probably thinking density. Like lots of 3 storey plus buildings with paper thin walls and ceilings. In dense urban development.

You can like people and community all you want but if that's all over the place you are gonna breed interpersonal issues. You have to be a very tolerant person to endure that.

And for the record, yes, not everyone likes non family people being that close. I am OK with my neighbors doing whatever they want if I can't hear their loud bass all afternoon and night time. But if it feels like their every weekend (or worse weeknight) is happening right in my bedroom then yeah I "can't stand people".
That's largely a myth these days:

Scheme rules mostly require issuers to extend a zero-liability policy to consumer debit cardholders.

Even if they wouldn't, there is a little-known debit counterpart to Regulation Z (which is the federal regulation affording you all the nice credit liability protections you might be used to) called Regulation E:

As long as you notify the issuer/bank within 60 days, your losses are also capped to $500. But since most banks don't want to lose a customer over a deductible in an edge cases (usually they can recover the funds themselves via a chargeback), the real loss is usually zero.
That's not the use case of the parent comment:

In prague there is both extensive bus network and tram network. I almost always go for buses. The capacity is just so much higher and usually the drive is much smoother compared to buses. Also trams are powered by electricity making it more efficient and c02 neutral...

> standard road paving seems easier to maintain than streetcar tracks

I would think that tracks last way longer.

Overall I think the cost is lower in long term for street cars but the initial cost is super high - e.g. edinburgh build one awkward tram line for around 700m. But thats with depots, cars everything. In Prague with all existing infrastructure it cost now about 78m usd to build 2.2km of tram with 6 stops.

I did not say anything about making money in the current economy. Research requires funding and only way to have academic freedom is to have a steady source of recurrent income or funding. One way to get that is to please those who have money but give up part of your control on what you study. Other way is to monetize your knowledge and acquire a ton of money. You seem to misunderstand what I said or have very little clue on how the academia works.
It’s true, I would.

But everyone is different. I have a probably uneducated belief that I am charming enough and resilient enough to get through a month in jail without too much harm coming to me.
There are externally motivated scientists who are in it for the prestige or awards. Some fields are more like this than others, but they show up in all fields.

Plus these days there's a lot of pressure to run universities more like businesses. To eat, academics have to hit certain numbers, so you see behaviors common in business like faking the KPIs.

UBI means you don't have to be productive or take any risks. Just sit back and collect the dole and drink beer and enjoy the sun. Or fentanyl. I'm not against giving people a chance or taking care of people when they're down. I don't think UBI is the way to accomplish that though, and that a well funded, and properly managed jobs programs would do more to improve society, and is more tractable, than giving everybody a magic money fountain.

I don’t think you’re making the argument you think you are. If an agent is there to be the rational for the irrational, then an AI listing agent talking to an AI buying agent are two rational beings getting more done than ever before, on behalf of sellers and buyers who are free to be themselves.

Yup. Here in Norway all debit/credit cards are combo BankAxept and Visa/Mastercard. BankAxept is used for 8/10 in-country transactions.

BankAxept charges maximum 0.135% fees, even less for high-transaction businesses:

My Pixel keeps getting worse. The only thing I can count on assistant for is setting a timer (as long as I don't interact with the phone before it takes a pause then says 'starting now', because if I don't wait then apparently I didn't actually want the timer I just requested and it doesn't get set). So, I guess it's 50% on the timer thing too.
I strongly advise not relying on embedding distance alone for it because it'll match these two:

1. great places to check out in Spain

2. great places to check out in northern Spain

Logically the two are not the same, and they could in fact be very different despite their semantic similarity. Your users will be frustrated and will hate you for it. If an LLM validates the two as being the same, then it's fine, but not otherwise.

The government is ineffective, and companies can be policed but often the government chooses not to because it is corrupt, when it's not simply because they are incompetent. Often the smaller companies or ones who haven't bought enough politicians and bureaucrats are over-"policed" in order to benefit other companies.

Right. My imagined reason was they signed ambitious contracts a long time ago that promised some decades of support and they're running it in a way that's less then the penalty they'd have to pay for breaching the contract. This works with the modem Jack Welchified HP.

How else would a car manufacturer put staff and inventory in every town across the country? They would either build dealerships themselves or franchise it out. Their cost structures don't cover this brick and mortar presence currently so costs would rise across the board.

Car dealerships are mostly middlemen between customer, manufacturer, and state government for registration and tax collection.

I just can't see how you eliminate the need to have locations to store and move around 5000lb metal objects without them.

What exactly are we seeing?
There was no penalty/death sentence for the recent public incident of the oil tank truck that was found transporting both toxic industrial oil and cooking oil, without cleaning in between. Which apparently was a wide-spread practice, as confirmed by netizens. Instead the officials just hand waved and said it's an isolated incident, and they're looking into it. And no news of it since.
there are a few

* recently a big trend is grass tramways. generally speaking this is more ecologically friendly by reducing impervious surfaces and replacing it with greenery, which generally lowers the urban heat island effect and is better for stormwater absorption. as a nice side effect, it is also generally a more visible differentiator from car lanes that people are less willing to drive over.

* trams are generally more capacious than buses because they are laid out better for more standing room. they are also more capacious because it is safer to run very long trams since the tram is fixed to the tracks; there are practical limits to how long a bus can be since a driver needs to be careful when switching lanes and whatnot. The longest single tram unit is 58m, the longest single bus is 32m; and you can couple trams together.

* trams don't really move side to side due to being fixed to tracks, so level boarding with little to no gap is much more realistic to achieve than on buses. This is generally much better for accessibility and speeds up boarding time; if you've spent any time riding a city bus, even a low floor bus spends a significant amount of time kneeling to achieve worse results for level boarding. And buses kneel not only for people in wheelchairs, but for people with strollers, with luggage, the elderly, etc.
If you don't want to live near people, maybe you don't want to live in a town.

But for people that live in towns, they shouldn't live in environments built for cars rather than people.

I'm European and lived in Columbus, Ohio for a period and traveled the US a bit and I just can't understand how can people do not recognize those cities are barely livable, walkable let alone enjoyable.

At the end of the day it's a matter of trade offs and I have nothing against people willing to live in car oriented cities, I'm just surprised that it's like that literally everywhere bar some downtowns I've seen like Boston (but my memory may fail me), there should be more variety of city planning, rather than isolated buildings with countless parkings everywhere.

Also, cars are really bad for health, even if they are not gas powered tires create tons of dust. If you've lived in a city and a country you know the difference in dirt in them, and it's largely car dependent.
The way I think is this: there are infinite computer tricks you can use to do all sorts of things, but how many malicious people are also good enough with computers to know about them?

For example, if all they know is the app, they may even think you NEED the app to see posts, or that you CAN'T create multiple accounts on the same app because they signed up with their phone number instead of e-mail.

Just like the smallest UI hurdle blocks onboarding users, the smallest UI hurdle also stop malicious behavior.

Not every malicious user is the hacker type. Sometimes it's just someone stalking their ex-partner. The malicious user could be an elder, could be a teenager, they could be from the U.S. but they could also be from Africa.

When you consider non-English speaking countries, expertise drops tremendously because any high level information is kept behind a language barrier.
And then how do you reverse a wire transfer? What's the liability split?
Can anyone give context on what the app is and why it's considered "grifting", "predatory" and "shitty"? I'm just curious.

Insightful :)
I've purchased two condos and one house in the Seattle area. My first condo I bought remotely and my agent toured a couple of places for me. Agent was very valuable in this case as I was in medical school trying to buy a place for residency.

Second condo I found myself and my agent merely facilitated the transaction. She hired a home inspector who missed a couple things. Not saying I would've caught them with my own inspector, but when your agent is chummy with an inspector, you can't really call them out on their mistakes.

When it came to looking for houses, I saw a few with my agent, but the one I ended up buying I found myself on Redfin. I went to an open house myself and just told my agent I wanted to make an offer.

Of note, my agent got paid the least for the first condo (because it was the cheapest), but she was most valuable in that transaction. The other two transactions just required the agent to fill out the paperwork, yet they got paid much more. There has to be some relationship between the amount of work done and the cost of the buyer's agent, not just a percentage of the sale price.
I’ve been in a meeting with government research officials where a director of the primary global institution in that field described how when she writes or does research and writes papers she draws a graph she needs to support her research or a point she is trying to make and then goes to look for the data to create that graph.

Maybe I’m missing something, but I do not believe that is the way it is stopped to go. Btw, she has a PhD and failed up into a global scale.

I’ve been meaning to find out if there are any open tools to evaluate someone’s dissertation.

It was equal part stunning and seemingly a bit traumatizing to me considering I still remember it as if it had happened earlier today. I think what surprised me too was her open admission of it, even with external parties present.

It's a pity this whole domain of awesome tech is so remarkably unavailable. Interesting seeing Nvidia move on this. I don't recall how far AMD got with drivers for their MxGPU.
So whenever someone gives me a detailed argument with cited sources I can show them this and render the truth into an unobtainable objective.
I don’t think this is true. Or, rather, I think this is only true if you define “losing capital” in a very specific way that isn’t consistent with reality.

What “gaining” capital looks like is “we upgraded our ovens from the 1980s to brand new ones with steam” or something. So losing that capital would look the same as well. We would lose the luxuries, not just a random assortment of capital that would make everything totally disfunctional.

Whereas, losing 80% of the workers generally doesn’t work ever. We’ve never seen 80% of employees go on strike at a company and the company keeps working. Maybe you could use twitter as a counter-example but I think anything more significant than a social media company (hospital, etc) would be a disaster (and I think most people would consider twitter a disaster as well).
It was Ghost in the Shell for me.
Maybe, but given how good Gemma is for a 2b model I think Google has hedged their bets nicely.
There is a high time cost to actual video editing and managing the details well, quite different than generating one template/perception of it, which is more where social media slop is at.
Eh, it's no longer allowed to voice discontent in public once Linus has spoken? What a bizarre thing to say. This is never how kernel dev worked, or indeed, how most projects work. Linus is not and has never been a "I have decided, now everyone heed my edict"-type of BFDL.

A long-term contributor with a great deal of investment in the project phrased things in the moment in a way that perhaps wasn't too brilliant (he was clearly emotional/nervous/whatever, as can be heard from his voice), and now he's somehow a bad faith actor trying to poison the project? Again just completely bizarre.

You come out here with some pretty big accusations based on basically nothing other than "he strongly disagrees". Well, he, ehm, he is allowed to state those views. If you want to radically change how kernel dev works and expect people who have been working on this for 3 decodes to just nod and smile and voice disagreement only in the Approved Way™, then I think you will end up bitterly disappointed. That's not how it works anywhere.

You need to actually convince people. And yes, sometimes people will phrase things in a suboptimal way, but that doesn't mean they're acting in bad faith. Bizarre thing to claim with such aggression and force.

> Snipping, delay tactics, bureaucratic maneuvering, and endless bike shedding can poison projects.

So do your baseless accusations that border on character assassinations, or dismissing people's concerns as "bike shedding" that they're somehow no longer allowed to bring up.

If you want to hold people to high standards of kind, empathic, and careful communication, then start by employing those standards yourself. That is: it's okay to criticise Ted for how he handled things. It's not okay to guess at his motivations, dismiss his views outright, and things like that. One is (hopefully constructive) criticism. The other is a personal attack and exactly the sort of thing that toxifies these discussions.
