You should not accept this contract.

You are being asked to accept liability for people without an incentive to deliver good work of whose reputation you don't know.

The more unspecified the liability and acceptance/delivery or services description is, the more likely you are to end up with an endlessly "unhappy" client who won't make more payments but won't say it's all finished.

I suggest you run. Never take liability without responsibility, especially not without any large upside possibility. In the absence of clarity, clients will try and argue that you own the liability because you directed other people for the final product. You want to specify details and work against them with a healthy 20% buffer of extra quality/work to make sure the client can never argue you didn't fufil the work. This is the opposite of that. Don't do it.
I think the restrictions on pharma, while doctors have more freedom is quite helpful. There are some problems here as well where this freedom has been abused, but overall that isn't a problem in my opinion.

Clinical trials are long and expensive, the medical advisory board wants compensation as well. But even startups can theoretically fund new therapies if they and their medial advisory boards get subsidies. It is a lot of risk though because for most drugs or medical devices, the real effectiveness can only be determined later in the trial itself.
We're drinking one of the cheapest drinking water in the world, but this doesn't change the reality of sinkholes appearing where we deplete the water in our country.

So, the prices might not be rising that quickly for now, but sinkholes are giving us the warning.

Prices don't always point correctly, esp. when there are other economic and socioeconomic factors at play.

Fastest feature request implementation ever! :-)
As an example Alacritty+tmux feels wayyy slower than iTerm for tabs/splitting.

Tmux also comes with some limitations that make it annoying (to me) to use 100% of the time :

- scroll back is painful compared to native terminal emulator scrollback, so is mouse support

- rendering gets slowed down by tmux because it parses the output itself, the fastest terminal emulator with tmux will feel slower than iTerm without tmux

- some TUIs work badly in tmux, neovim for instance. I’ve also had issues with htop in the past

Tmux is a great tool, but I can’t conceive using it by default, it’s too janky for that.
I haven't seen an increase in multiple choice tests in my area (mathematics). We still require written answers and proofs. Some testing is computer-based but it requires entry of formulated results properly.

Really I spend my days shovelling PDFs around.
A single-sided focus on the negative aspects of western society and its actions combined with a Rousseau-inspired 'noble savage' attitude towards non-western societies is hating the west and is most likely what the grandparent poster refers to. All the vices attributable to western society - slavery, colonialism, brutality, sexism and all the other -isms - can also be attributed to other societies but these go mostly unmentioned or are mentioned in passing without leaving a mark while they are portrayed as being essential elements of western cultures.

Card counting is a meaneal mental task you can train yourself at, regardless of how many decks there are. It's more about how fast the cards move on the table and keeping up.

This hits the nail on the head. In the end, I am trusting other people to do the experiments and reporting the findings.

I can regurgitate a lot of stuff about science, but in the end I believe it because I grew on the scientist side of the fence. If you look at conspiracy theories, the thing they always do is come up with a reason not to believe in the established authorities.
This simple statement shows that either they don't understand what kind of "businessman" Musk is exactly or they know but they don't care about it. He's the most successful grifter. Most successful conman. Those are simple statementd too. I condemn people who say those in honest admiration. I also condemn those ignorant of what means to be the kind of businessman Musk is while praising him.
I'm all for that. Sounds great.

I very well might be wrong. I hope I am, since I can't of any other way to make things work.

Do both the sharing and receiving users need to install the app? If not, it would probably be much easier to start using the app if at least the receiving user could view my screen from their web browser.

Apart from that, I often fall back to https://github.com/adamyordan/laplace when I need to share my screen. It works in the browser and has great image clarity. Sadly, the demo instance is down, so you need to host it yourself. Also, it can have trouble inside some enterprise network/firewall setups.

I've always found it amusing that somehow custom silicon makes economic sense in the absolute cheapest products.

> things like the FT and the Bloomberg terminal continue to be reliable

"Reliable" doing some heavy lifting here.

Sports figures and statistics are reliable. Stock tickers are reliable. Neither will ever lie to you, but neither are they likely to teach you anything of real value.

FT and Bloomberg are extremely biased toward class interest; in what they choose to cover, in how they cover it, etc.

Did they ever speak out against torture, or illegal war? How much? Did they ever go into the long term advantages of Jill Stein's economic plans; or Bernie's? How much?

The fact that we spent over $8 trillion in a murderous money laundering scheme should have been front page news every day for years. The costs of our incredible and historic inequality are rarely discussed, and if they are, it's in the most limp manner imaginable. The opportunity cost of all this fuckery, from a rational economic perspective, is mind blowing.

The Overton Window is now looking onto bipartisan genocide, after decades of bipartisan illegal war and an extreme agenda of Islamophobia.

People like Musk buy news sources to spread their biases. Same for Murdoch, Turner, Bezos, etc.

Once again an entirely backwards, upside down perspective. On Twitter he called politics the easiest job in the world.

Xenophon said that man is the hardest animal to tame. And the author’s “make AI great again” mentality is a perfect example of this untameability.

If it’s not actual AGI don’t tell me how a tool can actually fix the problems it creates. It’s like the author doesn’t have the most basic concept of what a tool is.

> Now that you’ve brought up political money and public and private interests

"Crony capitalism, sometimes also called simply cronyism, is a pejorative term used in political discourse to describe a situation in which businesses profit from a close relationship with state power, [...] In other words, it is used to describe a situation where businesses thrive not as a result of free enterprise, but rather collusion between a business class and the political class."

> I can think of any other business who doesn’t spend millions for politics and “commingle public and private interests”

So if cronyism is prevalent in US to some degree then a person who does that best shouldn't be criticisized?
On the API front, the endpoint that's being killed that was most interesting to me is actually their music analysis one. That was super-nerdy fun to fuck around with, I had a half-finished project on that with an old job. Totally interested in hearing of feature-parity alternatives I can run locally. I'd also thought I'd sometime get around to doing some network analysis with related artists too.

I honestly don't find Spotify's recommendations all that great. I definitely experienced a broadening (perhaps deepening) of my listening early on, but my experience has been that the recommendations are pretty shallow.

I find after throwing together a playlist with some stuff I like, it'll add a few more artists to my mental roster, then nothing. I'll get thrown around in the same loop with the same tunes and artists -- usually from the more famous albums.

I don't want to sound too much like the grouchy aging hipster that I am, but recommendations engines are just one of many ways of discovering music, and I feel like y'know, the old ways were better than just paying some company to do it for me. I'm talking here about being a regular on a local music scene, smoking weed with musicians, trading MP3s on the sneakernet.

Another thing where we just pay some money for "convenience", but are left with some hollow and empty algorithmic imitation of something we once loved.

I watched Grace Hopper’s declassified talk recently and was struck by how often she was right on the money (not all the times, she was also way off on some things), but in a lot of things that sounded truly prescient, she was often emphasising that these things were already happening.

>You can't do your own medical trials and your own long-term toxicity studies.

I can quite easily do a meta study with LLMs and chat with the corpus of works.

In fact I did this just today and came to my doctor, who happens to be a tenured professor at a top 20 world university, with a bunch of tests to hone in on possible customized treatments which we're going to be doing over the next 6 months.

Out of the 30 studies I cited he'd never seen 25 and they were all by people who he knew as experts in his field and was keen to read them after I left. Luckily he had access to all the journals legally unlike the average person.
If you have to include a date, the best thing to do while keeping builds reproducible is to use the date of the commit you're building. I quite like this approach, especially since it's fairly simple and readily available to get hold of too. Eg:

or %ct if you want a Unix timestamp.

That's true too. Both costs matter.
Cannabis is a medicine, and, as such, must be used as minimally as possible, and never in combination with alcohol. And, of course, cocaine is no damn good for anyone, and lsd has been known to really wreck some people.

I was just spitballing, but it's possible:

First you coat or anodize the magnesium, which I imagine needs to be done in any case. Then you apply a layer of epoxy. Then you wrap in carbon/epoxy. Done properly, there's no direct contact between carbon and magnesium, and you're probably less likely to see corrosion in the Mg-CF composite than you are with magnesium by itself.
Threats to Climate-Related US Agencies
Interesting conclusion: the author once backed up old climate data, but won't do it again and asks that someone else does it this time.
Valve isn't in this horror cabinet of an industry lobbying group because they have customer orientation. Against all odds, they pioneered online distribution. They had a secret though and that was to not being shitty to their customers. And that even though Gabe Newell and consorts got a lot of shit from parts of the gaming community at first.

There is not a single example where any company replicated something like that, it always has been corporate enshittificated bloatware. With the exception of GOG for DRM-free titles. I doubt the companies listed in the article can achieve anything like that.
> if there's a common understanding

Its only a common misunderstanding with these tech companies.

If I had a free trial with a sports club, or many other things, they will not charge me at the end of the trial. They will ask me if I want to join.

If I take a car for a trial drive, they won't bill me the entire price of a car if I forgot to mention explicitly that I don't want it after I return it.

Are tariffs already in place or is this just a thinly-veiled scapegoat for haircutting traffic allocation by 95%? To a customer, it certainly feels like a bait and switch to sell a subscription product and once customers are embedded materially change the economic trade.
Oh nice! I'm actually building a tool to understand and summarize what has happened within the tech space based on keywords, setting up an API for it so you can get summaries for each keyword within several categories (gets you general sentiment numbers as well).

Magnesium, especially a casting, can be something like an order of magnitude cheaper. Carbon fiber is an intrinsically more expensive material, and manufacturing complex engineering parts solely with CF, to high quality standards, is almost an artisanal process.

And maybe also the press duration; even with preserved auto-repeat, there seems to be quite a variety in typing: getting duration from key-down to key-up between 30 and 120 milliseconds. Naturally we can "squeeze" it up to auto-repeat threshold, which is usually around 500 ms.

What surprised me is how often I have concurrently pressed two or more keys during typing, never occurred to me how frequently key press of the next key happens before the previous key was released. It could also be interesting signal perhaps.)

I didn't say print is bad. There is a ton of problems where debuggers alone are not enough and print is required. I meant choosing print when the debugger is readily available and allows developers to get what they need without constantly changing the code to insert "print" and recompile/rerun the code.
A lot of the problems we are dealing with now are definitely self inflicted.
