I owned a series of Moto Gs that could, but with the removal of headphone jacks I am not sure how much reception you could expect. I did manage to pick up FM stations without anything plugged in but only pretty close to a transmitter.

Some phones even used to have TV tuners in them, though I don't think any of them were sold in the US.
There is another reason for a service to daemonize itself: you can have the parent process wait for the child to be fully ready before exiting. Modern init systems often have a better way to communicate readiness (for example systemd-notify, or writing a pidfile when ready) but older systems often didn't have a way for a process to directory tell the init process it was ready.
Sure there are tradeoffs but they still are concrete decisions. Do I care about X or Y more.

Making a game fun is a bit of a black art. A little more juice (screen shake/SFX/etc) can make the exact same experience otherwise a lot more fun. An interesting recent example of this for me is playing Witchfire, a 1st person single player extraction shooter that just came to steam in early access. One of the bolt action guns once you level it up makes a bell sound with every headshot that makes it feel incredibly epic, along with the benefits headshots give for that gun.

Unless I'm missing something, this doesn't rely on something really advanced and low-level like USB drive firmware, but a classic flaw that's existed in Windows for almost 30 years:

It is probable that this unknown component finds the last modified directory on the USB drive, hides it, and renames itself with the name of this directory, which is done by JackalWorm. We also believe that the component uses a folder icon, to entice the user to run it when the USB drive is inserted in an air-gapped system, which again is done by JackalWorm.

It's just another variant of the classic .jpg.exe scam. Stop hiding files and file extensions and this hole can be easily closed.
> So, would ticks brought to a new prairie by bisons

Ah, no. Nature is specifically what has unadulterated by humans. If humans are involved, it's not natural. I didn't make up the words, but that's exactly what it is. At least if you're talking about nature as being distinct from something else. If you're talking about nature writ large, then there is no distinction, but we're not talking cosmology here.

> we can CHOOSE any moral framework

I was only making clear the distinction between natural and unnatural.

But, to take on this argument, cats and mice are exotic pest species in many places. You might object to them being called pest, but their existence is usually at the extinction risk of native species. It's fair to say there'll be enough cats and mice around the world. You could say that we should just let whatever thrives to thrive, but I'd argue the world would be a more boring place without native species, and indeed ecosystems can collapse from the introduction of exotic species, potentially even causing existential risk to the introduced species (including us humans).

To me the the idea of "macOS on iPad" is more about making the iPadOS more open and capable like macOS (instead of directly running macOS on iPad). And probably also have the ability to run macOS apps on iPadOS so that you can use them with the traditional mouse/keyboard input. This will never happen especially after Apple has learned to make lots of money by locking down their platforms and using app store model.

It's fascinating how "preventing web extensions from having full access to everything on every site you visit when there is a repeated history of extensions being bought by companies that turn them into spyware data miners" gets turned into "blocking ad blockers".
I'm not claiming to be qualified to judge it, but it's quite clear that no one who is takes it seriously.

As a music lover (and working in the music industry) this 100% checks out.

Only focus in in politics, money and business… the value of music as art is totally forgot.

I believe this is a similar status of many things, when only business people runs an industry, the value of the things being managed decreses in importance, although not precisely in money.

This is an entirely ridiculous argument. Who actually ‘writes the check’ is actually important in a discussion about who writes the check, despite the fungibility of money. Renters don’t pay the owners property taxes in the US, even if they pay rent. Full stop.

Why this matters is because in some cases, owners can end up ‘under water’ with even rent not covering property taxes in the US.

In other places, that may not be possible.
>How did the ports "go too far"? They agreed to 50% raises over 6 years. That's still well above inflation.

I think you can look up all the stipulations dock workers had to put up with, especially over the pandemic. But just to keep it to this question: we had inflation a lot crazier than 7% or so they initially offered.

And given historical ways they use "automation" I would want better contracts highlighting what they do with workers when automation is stationed in. The whole bust of "okay we don't need you get out." is already way over the line of what EU and Asia would do. Especially for pensioned workers.

>they're being paid to do nothing by mere virte of the fact that they used to be longshoremen. Even if the get another job.

Yeah, sounds like a pension by another name of "royalties". I'm sure the first thing to automate out is whatever they define "container royalties" as. Even if it is indeed less efficient.

There's probably issues to address, but my general theme is that companies (including the government) will always keep trying to take from workers. If that means higher taxes, then whatever. They'd make up any other reason for tax hikes anyway.
The job goes back much further than you probably think!

That reminds me of Debt: The First 5000 years by the late anthropologist David Graeber.

Among other things, it asserts it that the typical history given to kids is wrong, namely a modernist story of civilization advancing linearly through barter -> cash -> credit.
> Warrior nobility systems farm farmers

A farm is a system with many living beings, but most of the benefits accrue to those we call the farmers.

A farmer farm is a called a fief (feudum in latin), so it's no surprise that under feudalism most of the benefits accrue to those who have control over heaps of feuda.

Would it be true that under capitalism most of the benefits accrue to those who have control over heaps of capital?

[to the original point: capitalism works very well when it allows people to trade and specialise in their comparative advantages; under what conditions might it work less well?]

EDIT:

> little need for military defense against external forces

I think they were also successful even where there was need, as long as those external forces were also based on a warrior class.

What Napoleon managed was to "scale" the nature of warfare; two poorly remembered quotes from a book one of his cavalry generals wrote:

— 10 mamluks could beat 30 french, but 100 to 100 was even, and 300 french could beat 1000 mamluks

— our troopers' horsemanship was pitiful, and their officers' not much better, yet with this cavalry we made the tour of Europe

I'd say both point to innovation in the use of mass over class.
Help me understand why a family farm would have such an issue if the owner-operator dies, but Walmart didn't when Sam Walton died? Is it an issue of incorporation/business structure?

Every so often someone announces that they've reinvented that idea but it doesn't go anywhere. These days the problem is probably mostly mobile Internet, but also the sheer difficulty bootstrapping enough of a community for it to be worthwhile.

And of course any such project that became popular would either ruin the creators as they try to keep up with moderation, or devolve into an unusable mess if they don't moderate.
Most tax dollars go to social security, health (including medicare) interest and defence.

So on the one hand, very little of that is infrastructure. Mostly it seems to go on "keeping people alive".

Now sure, the govt could invest the money instead, and let a bunch of (mostly old) people die.

In our "money" equation, old people have little practical value (and there's no line in our fiscal analysis for measuring our humanity).

Which perhaps is why it's best not to evaluate returns on govt spending the way you would measure returns on personal investments.

[As a PS I'd add that all those taxes, flowing back to the old people, is flowing back into the economy, which is what keeps businesses in business, and keeps those share prices going up.]

There's also no fundamental reason for the state to institute any form of estate tax; on the contrary, I specified it goes against our usual federal regime of taxing value as it's moved rather than value at rest. If anything, I'd question why you believe there's some inherent reason or right to have any form of estate tax, let alone to the point one forces liquidation of assets. One form of taxation can be more or less just than another and it's much easier to make the moral case for using force to collect a portion of value moved through government infrastructure (banking system, roads, ports, etc.) than something that remains unsold.

I didn't say taxation is theft and would rather you didn't put words in my mouth. You're assuming I'm against any form of taxation whatsoever on a moral basis, which isn't actually true. I think there are values reasons (most of us actually like the idea of a family business staying in a family, not getting sold to private equity) and moral reasons why we should continue resetting the tax basis of inherited assets. As a compromise position, I think it would be more reasonable for you to suggest removing the stepped-up basis but not counting inheritance as a taxable event.
I'm not so sure this is a problem. They're not completely blocking ad-blockers, just neutering them somewhat with MV3. You can still use uBOL (the "Lite" version of uBO) and get a lot of ads blocked on Chrome.

Remember, Chrome is not installed by default on Windows PCs; Edge is. People are using Chrome because they want to. They could just as easily download Firefox and uBO, like more-savvy users do. Unfortunately, too many can't be bothered. Should they be saved from excessive and intrusive ads? Again, they can easily install uBOL on their Chrome instance, or they can download and install FF+uBO. Or use something else like Brave.

>Tell your friends to use Firefox, people.

Absolutely, yes. Just don't be too surprised when you visit them later and they're still using Chrome (or Edge) with no ad-blocker at all. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

> Most of the video you encode on a computer is actually all in software/CPU because the quality and efficiency is better.

I don't think that's true. I bought a Thinkpad laptop, installed Linux and one of my issues was that watching youtube video put CPU onto 60%+ load. The same with Macbook barely scratched CPU at all. I finally managed to solve this issue by installing Arch. When everything worked as necessary, CPU load was around 10%+ for the same video. I didn't try Windows but I'd expect that things on Windows would work well.

So most of the video for average user probably is hardware decoded.
Very interesting! Thanks for the pointers! I'll need to take some time to digest these.

>I don’t see any easy way out of this, and it will just get worse as the automation gets cheaper and more efficient.

I see many "easy" ways out of it. None that would satisfy the USMX. Because their primary goal isn't efficiency of process but of costs.

So I guess I agree.

>We expect ports to be run like efficient businesses, who pays for that? Consumers I guess via increased shipping fees. Isn’t that just stealing from Peter to pay Paul?

Sure. But the ILA didn't make that cost increase directly. The USMX decides instead to pass the costs to the people. Because they'd rather do that than simply pay their way into automation that satisfies the port workers.
It's pretty dang hard to give the output to Fibonacci(x) for any x up to infinity without having done the work up to that point.
I read Les Miserables for fun in high school. I was introduced to the story through the musical (maybe originally just a song from it), I think, and became curious about its origins and elements I might've missed in other depictions.

I can't find my copy now, but it was one of the nice fancy hardcover Borders Classics editions, which afaict is a 600-something-page abridgment of Wilbour's 1862 translation. There were still some slow or awkward parts but I definitely enjoyed it overall.

Moby Dick, though, I was assigned and did not read.

If I'd been assigned Les Miserables and not Moby Dick, maybe it'd have gone the other way around.

Anyway you're wrong that this never happens. Me and my friends growing up read Hugo and Dostoevsky and Kant and Hume and Dickens and Marx for fun, alongside lots of stuff outside the 'Western' literary and philosophical canons.

And dated language is fun sometimes. It adds to a sense of place in the work, and often a lot of flavor. It can even be nostalgic, in a strange way— I recently started reading 3 different translations of Monkey King/Journey to the West. One of the translations is extremely contemporary in its language, which is great because it helps make a lot of jokes land well. But another is an audiobook recording from the 80s of a translation from the 1940s, and it's pleasantly nostalgic for me because it reminds me, just through its 'flavor', of already-outdated media for children that I encountered as a little kid— stuff like School-House Rock and claymation Christmas specials. It gives that presentation of the story a kind of soothing bedtime reading from a storybook vibe for me.

Anyway, even challenging reading can be a lot of fun for kids if you let them choose the challenge and mostly stay out of their way after that (instead of, for example, nagging them with regular quizzes or forcing them to go over each sentence in agonizing detail in a group setting).

+1 to Adam Back. Who is more likely to build ontop of some obscure code base called "Hash Cash"? Some random people that trolled the same forums or the original creator of it?

Imo this "secret" is known by many people as I have seen so many censorship and misdirection campaigns throughout the years if people mention Adam being the one.

Him being Satoshi also makes bitcoin core seem more legitimate. He can guide his creation without being formally known as satoshi.

It is obvious. Especially if you have ever been a solo dev for an extended period of time (like adam was)

There is a ton more evidence but seems like no one really wants to dig into Adam.

Adam literally stopped updating hash cash and a year later Bitcoin is released... check his website on archive.org.

Its ok. I like that there is still conversation as to who it is. It gives protection to him since there likely wont be anything concrete (if hopefully he was slick enough)

It seems pretty clear to me that this desire for "perfect" layers of abstraction is something we strive for due to our own intellectual limits, and that in reality all abstractions are lossy to some degree. Heat as a single integer in Degrees F is good enough most of the time but when you're designing CVD for a Silicon Fab you might actually care about the positions and orientations and vectors of the gas molecules.
React how though? Are you raw-doggin React.CreateElement? Doubt it.

Scraping auth data using JSDOM and without running browser
I used to be a try-hard. I'm not infosec or a programmer, I'm just a person with a computer. I would install every extension possible that claimed to do something, I encrypted everything, basically following every how-to article willy-nilly and fell down a rabbit-hole[1].

Now I keep things simpler:

- social media has been whiddled down to Fediverse and LinkedIn, phone is degoogled

- I do send many of my important emails encrypted
- My browser has minimal extensions installed --- because I learned about fingerprinting

- No cloud, no AI

- Never use public WiFi at McDonald's or hotels

- I've used Linux for the past 18 or 19 years as my daily, but that isn't a magic shield.

In short: didn't get into hardening; some encryption, no cloud; mostly avoiding social media (LinkedIn will soon be deleted).
