I can not speak for anyone else just me personally. Had I owned any .io domains that were being used for email or websites I would start redirecting to any of my other domains and put an inline easy to read but attention getting banner at the top of the page that said something like, "Redirected from old domain to new domain be sure to bookmark" and I would link that to a news page explaining why I was taking that precaution and I would email my customers and communities with a short but sweet easy to read email explaining the same thing and would credit customers for their trouble so there is something in it for them.

If it turned out to be a nothing-burger then I would use that .io for a blog page related to the community or something else non business or revenue critical and have links back to the new domain. I would keep the commercial content on the .com, the community forums on .net and philanthropic type content on .org or .io. i.e. news about donations to funding a new no-kill animal shelter and such

I think the article's wording

> guidelines issued by the body regulating the use of Standard High German orthography

gives a somewhat false impression regarding the influence and standing of this body. Orthography was traditionally what was written in the Duden dictionary/thesaurus. Only in 2004 or so there was a push for a moderate reform for German as taught in schools, and it was deemed necessary to have at least Austria and Switzerland join (hence the council isn't a natioval body), whereas neighbouring countries with German-speaking minorities such as Italy were not sitting at the table it seems.

Indeed, dictionaries and governments are just writing down what's already happening in the language.

In a way language is one of the only truly democratic institutions. We all vote for new words and new pronunciations by using them or not using them. The collective action of all these choices is the language.

Love my little 2K watt inverter generators, but I don't think it's a good substitute for a residential standby unit. I can't get a 240V split phase generator that can be carried, that's the big thing. I could get past the time it takes to turn on the generator, but there's a good chunk of my house that won't run without 240V (unless I want to run extension cords everywhere, which I do not...).

>> The firmware usually runs on processors without hardware floating point units.

I'm working on control code one an ARM cortex-M4f. I wrote it all in fixed point because I don't trust an FPU to be faster, and I also like to have a 32bit accumulator instead of 24bit. I recently converted it all to floating point since we have the M4f part (f indicate FPU), and it's a little slower now. I did get to remove some limit checking since I can rely on the calculations being inside the limits but it's still a little slower than my fixed point implementation.

If you have a strategy and need plans, maybe you could use an AI (probably not LLMs). If you need a strategy, maybe you can feed high-level goals into an AI and it could come up with one (though it will have difficulty thinking outside its box). But the primary value of a CEO is being the definitive source of high-level goals and systemic values. An AI is not going to come up with those, except by mimicking the stated goals and values of other CEOs.

It's easy to say "the high-level goal is maximizing profit" but as we all lament daily, having that as a goal is both vapid and only functional in the short-term.

I'm not longsighted but my myopia has really progressed in my 40s. The Viture XR Pro has myopia dials which means that I can dial both to suit, but unfortunately the whole setup is awful for productivity, especially on Linux. Their android app is also just a "toy". And I definitely can't imagine using them for AR. Maybe their competitors, XREAL (which claim 6dof) are better here, but they don't have the myopia dials.

> While many think having a "largest customer" is an asset, it's actually a company's biggest weakness.

100% correct. It's always better to get one nickel each from 100 people than 100 nickels from one person. If you get one nickel each from 100 customers, losing a customer won't hurt you. If you only have one customer, losing them is an existential problem. Also, if you have a customer that is singularly large enough, then that customer will inevitably start to direct how you operate your business.

The extreme example of this is being an employee. In that situation, you have a business with exactly one customer and so that customer has the power to demand all sorts fairly extreme things from you, such as having to work in particular places at particular times, dictating exactly how you engage in that work, etc.
"Free" healthcare is actually massively subsidized by our own taxes, which can reach as much as 52% where I live. We also have paid parental leave (maternal and paternal), good public transport, paid sick leave, and all the goodies that make a society civilized.

Kuo: iPhone 16 sales matching expectations so far, no cutbacks anticipated
The author argues that when people say "billionaires can't sell their holdings" that they mean "instantly" and that's not true because they can sell their holdings slowly, and then the author argues that this won't affect the price of those assets because they represent a small amount of the value in the total market.

This is not a serious argument. You're telling me that if shareholders see a founder divest entirely from their companies, they aren't going to take that as a bad signal, and also choose to divest? Bullshit. The size of the total market is completely irrelevant.

But you know, if this was a serious argument, the author would've been able to have it published SOMEWHERE and it wouldn't just be a gist

Don't know why I wasted my time clicking that link. I knew it would be what it was.

There is a recent suit that is already proceeding.

https://apnews.com/article/amazon-antitrust-lawsuit-ftc-case...
The value of the super wealthy’s net worth is paper. It only has value because we all agree it has value. If you started to seize their paper wealth and give it to everyone else, the value of that paper would immediately fall, not just from the threat of seizing it but their lack of ownership and stewardship would make it crumble.

When someone actually uses their money, like to buy a mansion, we do indeed tax the shit out of it. We tax the corporation, we tax the dividends, we tax the gains, we tax the seller of the property and we make the buyer pay various fees. We tax the property yearly, and we increase the assessed value of it upwards to get more tax every year. Tax tax tax.

The only place to get more tax is to just seize the paper straight. And I think that’s a terrible idea.
I want one, but can't justify it. Probably be into it around 10K installed, maybe more. We've only had one multi-day outage in the 12 years we've lived here, because our wiring is all underground and it took a century level storm to wipe it out. We get occasional outages of a few minutes to a couple hours in the winter if a tree hits a power line somewhere in the nearby above-ground grid, but that's about it. I'd still love to be the only guy in the neighborhood all lit up when everyone else goes dark :). To be fair, I'd actually be #2 now, guy a few houses up the street is that beacon of light now. But still.

When we were shopping for houses out in the sticks, I had that generator budgeted right into the price of the house. If I got a multi-day outage very year, it's a no brainer.

Do you know if VAX BASIC fixed the other problems I mentioned in BASIC, other than being interpreted? You were the one that brought it up as an alternative. Specifically, did it have record types, local variables, and subroutine parameters? This is the third time I've asked in this thread, but possibly you didn't notice the first two times.

I think "a macro assembler with nicer syntax" is an excellent summary of C. Though it's transitioning to "a retrocomputing programming language we have to support in order to be able to run software that was written long ago".

I agree that many other macro assemblers have more powerful macro capabilities than C. After looking at most of the output of the group that produced Unix, I think that's on purpose: cpp was deliberately less powerful than GPM or m6, but that's not because they weren't familiar with m6 or couldn't figure out how to write it, and ed was deliberately less powerful than QED or TECO, but that wasn't because they weren't familiar with QED. Possibly Plauger's remark about how one of the worst things he'd done in his life was to write a relocating linker in QED provides a clue as to why.

With the benefit of 45–55 years of hindsight, the decision to prioritize clarity over expressiveness in ed and cpp seems to have really paid off. You seem to disagree, but you don't say why; maybe you think it's axiomatic that more expressive languages are better, despite the fact that we're having this discussion in HTML rather than PostScript or TeX, using URLs rather than Smalltalk or Open Firmware bytecode packets, with browsers written mostly in C++ rather than Scheme or Common Lisp, over TCP/IP rather than CHAOSNET. If my suggested axiom were correct, all of those would be the other way around.

I'd like to see RatC, but I haven't been able to find old editions of A Book on C, and the later revisions seem to have removed it.

I don't see how Modula-2 is relevant to a discussion about Pascal. There were lots of Pascal-inspired languages in the 70s and 80s; Modula-2 was neither the most influential one nor Wirth's favorite.

It remains true that you could easily do portable systems programming in C in the late 70s and 80s, and you could do nonportable systems programming in VAX Pascal, but doing portable systems programming in Pascal required major compromises when it was possible at all. (Just to clarify, when I say "systems" I don't mean "kernels"; I mean "not applications", as you clearly also did when you said "VMS also supported Pascal and BASIC dialects for systems programming.")

There were other parts of your comment I wasn't able to make any sense of, but if you feel you said something I haven't responded to, please feel free to clarify.

Yeah these things are all pretty relative of the reader's perspective. FWIW I mean this specifically for the less technical threads. Technical threads still seem to rank contributions appropriately. But the moment you touch on something more cultural, like the long term computer thread, or the Mr Beast thread from the other day, you get a lot of pretty low signal comments that get a lot of karma. I do find that the very top of the comments page stays okay but the moment you get past the very top you get lots of low effort comments.
When I was in the army I switched to holding my assault rifle right handed because I was near sighted on my left eye.
(Not getting the casings ejected onto my right arm when they later gave me an LMG was an added bonus, man that gun was poorly designed)

It took maybe a week to get used to the switch but wasn't that big of a problem even though I'm both left handed and left eyed.

So you just.. do it, I guess?
> other times I'll spend days just breaking up thousand line functions into simpler blocks just to be able to follow what's going on

Absolutely, I'll break up a long block of code into several functions, even if there is nowhere else they will be called, just to make things easier to understand (and potentially easier to test). If a function or procedure does not fit on one screen, I will almost always break it up.

Obviously "one screen" is an approximation, not all screens/windows are the same size, but in practice for me this is about 20-30 lines.

Getting a loan against assets is another way of "using" it, so why not make that a taxable event?

Just like now your stock value would not be taxed while it is invested. But now it would be taxed if you use it as collateral for anything. If you don't want to pay capital gains by selling the underlying stock then you can just get a bigger loan and pay the taxes out of that.

There, now you don't have to liquidate but the taxpayers benefit too when the wealth is "used" by the owner.
> prevent you from understanding the situation from this particular person's point of view

I'm not, because you're not that person, you're a different person, who for some reason is trying to answer for them, while not actually knowing the reason. What's preventing me from knowing the reason is that person not answering to the question. Then it's not a life-or-death situation for me if they answer or not.

> Even if his annual income is $135,000, it can be rational and ethical to sacrifice some aspects of job satisfaction for even more income, e.g., if he is responsible for the economic security of an entire family.

Absolutely, I don't disagree with that. I disagree with the notion that this person cannot answer for themselves, and you have to somehow assume how my living situation is, when that's pretty far away from the topic.

I did lose my cool a bit when you asked me an irrelevant question, and then I replied with an irrelevant question myself just to show how off-topic all of that is. I'm sorry for letting my emotions get the best of me.
Correct. From the user's point of view, forward the email confirmation and have it added to your itinerary. Internally, it could use ChatGPT or anything else to parse it and call the import API.
This argument doesn't account for would happen to the valuations of those assets once the government decided that it owned a portion of them or started forcing people to sell them. Suddenly they are a hell of a lot more risky, presumably the market would price that in very quickly.
