Switzerland has 1000 Franc notes which is around 1140 USD. The central bank just decided that the next series will also include the 1k note although the EU doesn't want it (not that they really have a say) and some others are opposed to it as well.

CHF 1000 is worth less than it ever was so the whole claim about it being used for crime is bullshit. People keep cash at home and safety deposit boxes. When we had negative interest rates it made sense to keep some money in cash.

A bigger debate that is coming is the elimination of the 5 rappen coin. The 1 rappen coin was killed a long time ago and the golden colored 5 may soon also go.

Strange. Have been on Threads since launch and have never seen this.

Nor have I seen any growth-hacking dark patterns other than the For You algorithm pushing high-engagement content which they've said they are sorting out. But a lot of this is because Threads has the legacy of being built on Instagram.
haha, I think I've got many miles to go before I'm qualified to answer this :')

I've just been hacking away at things since I was in middle school, am lucky that there's some transfer. LLMs have also been a huge unlock—really cool to be able to try things at near speed of thought!

Nice machines, but $600 for an extra 16GB of ram and an extra 512GB of storage is theft.

My new AMD linux laptop compiles my projects faster than my old M1, and that's good enough for me. It has 32GB of ram, 4tb of storage, and was half the price of the equivalent Macbook. Apple may make the best laptops right now, but other manufacturers are closing the gap.
I agree.

I definitely loved Gary Owens as the narrator, though I've never seen Laugh in. The inclusion of the 'smell' and 'taste' "verbs" for no other reason than for laughs was also great.
Initial release date is less interesting than when its last version/patch was released, which https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_7 puts at

Hate to ask but are you a person of color? My brown friends have been pulled over and stopped while just walking around many more times than me (plain white dude). I have been pulled over one time in my life and never so much as had more more than a “hi how are you doing?”from a cop on the street.
On Trump's official campaign page there There are 21 or 45 'groups' of policies (each video contains a handful of policies or directions)

https://www.donaldjtrump.com/agenda47

All of these videos are from 2023, so, before Trump began working with Elon, RFK Jr, Tulsi, Vivek.

I was introduced to these videos only recently on X- the videos about censorship, homelessness, and the deep state in particular are .. interesting.

It's also interesting to see the refrain "Trump has no firm policy ideas" when these videos have been up since 2023

> Staying with .NET Framework is a factor that increases talent attrition

100% this. If a company is not willing to move the product forwards because "there is no need to" then I would be looking else where. .NET Core will be a decade old very soon and a company not willing to move to that tech stack is just pure neglect.
Even with turbo set to the slower speed, on my Pentium the CD-ROM version of SQIV still ran too fast, with the sentry droid in the first area spawning every few seconds or so, making that area damn near unplayable.
Jelly looks really nice for replacing Google Groups for some things at $DAYJOB. However, having to look at yet another website for tasks is annoying. I'm about 90% of the way to "everything through `mutt`", so regressing back for such a steep price increase seems…hard to swallow. Would you consider at least making IMAP accessible on the lower tier (just as an access method, not necessarily "sync mail back to gmail" if it is separable)?
So in your threat model the attacker is someone who has the resources to target you individually (plausible for high-value targets), the capability and capacity to further develop the physical field attack kit (current cost at ~11k for lab condition hardware), and can haul around essentially a mobile electrics oven - approximate size between a fusion splicer and a small 3D printer - to re-shell a decapped YubiKey.

I'm discounting the need to conduct phishing. That comes for free. I'll also give you that the victim may be rather unlikely to spot that their YubiKey has been replaced with a freshly manufactured copy.

For those kinds of capabilities you're still looking at nation state actors or very motivated enterprises.
Thanks for verifying

In its heyday, before the most recent acquisition, Twitter was really good for local info (ignoring celebrities, shitposting, and the like). Not just news but announcements, alerts, and other local stuff if you followed the right accounts.

Mastodon is cool, but it's hard to consistently find that local info. Bluesky seems like it has a chance of supplanting Twitter in this way, but it's not there yet. Some of the accounts I used to follow on Twitter are on Bluesky, but they don't post. If they started, I think they'd get tons of followers now.
It's not based on this incident, it's based on this incident happening and on the fact that there are laws making this possible, plus zero checks on the people doing it. Nobody saying "this is insane, stop it". This was voted in, in theory, by the majority of the US population.

Oh, and of course that they're doing it. After all, they're not doing this of their own volition. They're paid by the government. In other words, by the majority of the US population.
I’d probably “dig it up from my backyard because I’m a newly minted metal detector hobbyist” or something. If the bills were marked though I think your point is solid, it’s hard to make bad money clean.

Find some millionaire to pay you your own money for a job or something, give them 10%? I guess you still need to launder the money somehow.

Now I want to know how people can turn illegal cash millions into clean laundered money in 2024.
I haven’t used AI for sorting email yet but have over many attempts over many years tried to setup manual filters.

I try to make them as absolutely bulletproof as possible but I’m still running into problems because email is so rough.

Critical Microsoft emails for example constantly have random sketchy looking domains but are legit.

Or someone named “Don Otre Plyson” gets caught in the “DoNotReply” filter and I never see his important message.

I don’t know if I’d blindly trust AI to guess patterns better than me where I’d have no way of ever knowing if I potentially missed something.
This is an exaggeration
Is that true? I was under the impression that Steam's (default?) DRM required the Steam client to run games.
It appears that the Hearing Aid feature is actually an equalizer preset that is pushed to the AirPods and will replace your transparency mode.

Apple could've just not marketed these as "hearing aids" or used the medical terminology, as every other TWS with parametric EQ and transparency mode can do the same thing, and they wouldn't have the regulatory hawks going after them. They only lose the marketing edge, but perhaps that was a huge calculated risk.

There's an incredible amount of processing power and flexibility in these things. Even the sub-$10 ones using the infamous JieLi SoCs - a 160MHz 32-bit computer in each ear. I'm surprised there hasn't yet been any TWS advertised with open-source firmware, although there's been some work in the usual Chinese (and Russian) communities on customisations.

> One can engage on multiple platforms. Don't have to leave something else to use Mastodon.

Sure, and those who have a technically savvy audience can use Mastodon can post on multiple platforms.

In this instance of bad changes X has made, the majority of those who are moving away from X this time round are more likely not going to engage on Mastodon as a second platform.

Too much hassle for them.

They are more likely to engage on platforms that have more engagement, like Bluesky or Threads.

I cannot see artists, journalists, etc going to Mastodon when X makes changes to their platform time and time again.
Even if they could afford it, they won't. The UX friction of charging money would send engagement off a cliff, even if the nominal charge was $0.
Different technologies are for different approaches and applications.

It's relatively trivial to use the pve command line utility to create or modify vms in proxmox.

Still, the originating reason of this post is due to a large number of useful scripts to help make things more manageable and maintainable, and the founder of it having to step away, and there being gratitude for their help to make things much more manageable.

The IQ test may be flawed, but is the concept flawed?

Can you see any downside in not acknowledging differing intelligence among individuals?

(we know the downside of acknowledging it - right from the Natzis, to individuals who may not try hard enough to achieve something)

And oh well - there are both twin studying and studies on kid adopted by their non-biological parent. Given the taboo, it may not be easy to find them.
The standard Windows first-run setup prompts with dark patterns to show advertising and send private data like keystrokes and microphone audio to Microsoft. It very strongly pushes the user to use a Microsoft account to sign in to their own computer.

(This is my experience in the EU, so presumably the relatively polite version.)

It seems reasonable to call this malware. It's what software like browser toolbars did 20 years ago, and they were widely criticised for it.
I'd be happy just paying groceries with cash for the rest of my life tbh. Although I can imagine a lack of grocery shopping on anyone's bank account would be suspicious. But moving to a country where nobody knows you / nobody cares would be an option too. Of course, then you get the challenge of moving 20 million in cash abroad...
Local dealerships will take cash but if you show up with enough of it (even a very large down payment amount), it's not uncommon that the person you try to give it to isn't sure they are allowed to accept it and will disappear to run it up the chain to get permission.

You seem to have an interesting product philosophy - how does that translate into your engineering choices? I’m curious what you built Jelly with and how you approach building web apps from a language and framework perspective.
Fox news because of the hate that is sipping through every pore and axel springer se because of their usage of what is called in Germany "Witwenschütteln"(widow shaking), an practice where the people do anything to get any information from victims or an suspect by any means.

i tend to follow paths laid out by wishful thinking —knowingly, yet is there no intention.
and is it tough, i like to wander just as slow into the lostness.
if i was you, i‘d see the hope, that life, or god, the universe… whatever i might call it, has forced this life upon me while whispering to me, that just through pain, it will be honest,
and that i (specifically)— would not have grasped, in time, the misery, of what it— takes, not what i‘ve lost— for, and not from, me, to be the loving, present parent for my daughter, that i will— now for certain— be.

through the darkness, every cry through every scream,
for all the pain you‘ve taken— and not given me.
I did not say it was evidence. I actually stated it was a quite poor source; but that it is at least illustrative of the point.

yep, we're old fogies now. at age 9 my best friend and i would ride our bikes about 5 miles to the beach. no cell phones. no arrests. no problems. we'd ride our gas-powered scooters to the gas station for slushies. we too played in the woods.

i don't understand what changed or why kids today can't do anything on their own. it does not seem good for their development, which in turn does not seem good for the future of our country.

That seems like a likely scenario, some engineer started an email thread that ended up in their director's inbox who said "sure why not".

Even if that were possible, the GPL license makes no sense for artwork or music, and is quite possibly legally unenforceable in such a context. You need a combination of GPL + Commons; and how many games are licensed that way?

But even then, GPL + Commons does not give you trademark rights, only the ability to reuse the assets under a different name. So unless you have GPL + Commons + Trademark, do you really have ownership?

But hold on, in Japan and in the US, game mechanics can be patented. So who cares if you have the code, assets, and trademark, if you don't have patent rights? I suppose you need GPL + Commons + Trademarks + Patent Assignment; or maybe you swap out GPL with Apache2.

Now hopefully whoever made the artwork doesn't sue for unpaid royalties. You're relying on the declared licenses, but it's still possible that whoever made the game, lied in one way or another. It's also possible there are applicable patents owned by other companies, which weren't disclosed.

The point is: Even with GPL code, it's still a long way from being "your game." I didn't even mention the middleware like Havok Physics or Unity Engine; which would render your GPL game code pretty useless without a proprietary attachment, if using the GPL license at all is even legal with such a combination.
SmartOS Web UI Release
to me this makes it all the more odd - at a glace the top level responses are about how the piece made them emotional/sad or are reminisces about their own parents.

What's wrong with that? Because these folks experienced the "best outcome" (presumably to see their parents live to old age) they shouldn't get emotional about it?
Regardless of numbers, Netflix is nowhere near as influential as the others. It’s just a website that plays videos, and one can easily live life without it.

As much as I hate to admit, I agree.

The effort, intent, and practice (for lack of a better term) required to get the same effect in a remote environment is high enough that it just doesn't—and won't—happen for all but an extreme few.

And there's less of a "rising tide lifts all boats" effect on teams, where the growth of one member tends to level up the rest.

It's just way easier and cheaper to get this effect in person than trying to do it remote.
Blaming all ills of any Japanese industry on the keiretsu is in vogue for decades, but at best, keiretsu is a symptom, not a cause, of the underlying risk-averse culture. Keiretsu, even when they were toxically anti-competitive, did not go out of their ways to crush would-be global startups in Japan; keiretsu, by the author's own argument, didn't care about the global software-only market, thus would not kill those startups. The true culprit, the risk-averse culture -- while with own merits -- did not mesh well with the more fluid flat culture of software development.

It was not an accident that software did well in the most hippy region in the US, San Francisco. On the contrary, hardware development, due to much more constraints from the laws of physics and economics, has been done well in Japan et al as careful top-down planning is the edge, not individual-level agility.*

I am a little surprised that the author, who is active in Japan, is off the mark. I regularly talk to many engineers/entrepreneurs in the region, and the cause-and-effect are quite easy to see and are unanimously agreed upon. Kudos to people there who are trying to change the software development culture for the better.

* Elon's ventures seem to challenge this conventional dichotomy as he attempts to bring both agility and top-down leadership into his firms. More power to him.
This sounds sensible.

Until you consider that almost all children in N.A. that are learning rely on Kahn academy & YouTubers to make up for the fact that their school’s can’t figure out how to replicate a great learning experience that is available for free.
One way people here could help with that is to improve posting tools.

I have a couple of informational bots. It's a lot easy for me when I can just download a cli tool and run that to post than if I have to signup to a platform as a developer and then write custom code to login via OAuth.

Actually if I have to write code to talk to OAuth I probably won't bother.

Currently using bsky to post to BlueSky and paying for IFTTT because I have to make time to sit down and get twurl working.

Dailymail is dailymail but this particular article is boring.

Things like this happen every year, thanks to both the tomb building tradition and the climate of the region.

Middle kingdom did thrive about 4k years ago, this is the height of the classic Egyptian culture. Numerous tombs were escavated already.

Thr comment you replied to reasonably noted how the culture survived for 2.7k years. They kept track of every pharaoh they had, as well as dynasties, and key events.

This is amazing. Not the boring tomb. Although I love tombs.

Twitter has always been one of the most toxic places on the Internet. It's why I have refused to use it, because I have better things to do with my time than watch terminally online people get into diatribes about their extreme left/right political views. I don't have any faith that any replacement will be better, considering that they are primarily populated by the people who are so extreme left that they couldn't abide the idea of new Twitter ownership.
The OS and preinstalled / uninstallable apps from the OS provider, the phone manufacturer, the hardware manufacturers, sometimes the network provider have their own TOS, their own gag orders, etc. The TOS undoubtedly extends to the UI toggle, and even if it didn't they are almost certainly under gag orders about that functionality anyways. That is what I see as virtually unavoidable. Just accept that you are compromised and that your efforts are to mitigate, not eliminate data exfiltration.

You don't need to go full prepper mode to recognize the situation. I just want to promote honest awareness, not a specific course of action as a consequence of that awareness. My threat assessment is that this happens nonstop. It has been revealed to be the case in the past, in the present as per this article, and undoubtedly will only continue in the future.
You don't have to guess, it's easy to check.
