The kind of remote identity you're describing is what you can get with something relatively simple like LDAP. Unfortunately, that's not at all like what consumer operating systems are trying to support. Using a Microsoft account or iCloud account doesn't get you the easy NAS access, but does come with lots of other baggage.
I'm willing to believe you are right, but not without someone finding the text to indicate as such. I do not recall this being the case, but I've only read the first two.

> grocery corporations will actively work to grow larger and close stores in Black neighborhoods

If black neighborhoods are underserved, go make a fortune in black neighborhood grocery stores or their suppliers.

If I got BH theory right, each particle of the ship entering the event horizon will almost fully stop, while the next particles entering will still slightly move, compressing the whole ship into a thin shell or crust that, due to atomic mechanics, won't function as normal matter, so the crew won't know what happened to them. The entering ship will redshift until it dissapears. Their particles will "spacetime-travel" far far away into the future until the compressed crust bounces back to space as radiation. Did I get it right?
It doesn’t say that prices have to higher, food suppliers could meet the requirements by providing the same low prices they provide to big businesses to small retailers.
> suppliers and distributors have insane leverage over grocery stores.

> The only leverage grocery stores offer is volume pricing.

This is directly contradicted by the article:

"Congressional hearings and a federal investigation found that A&P possessed an advantage that had nothing to do with greater efficiency, better service, or other legitimate ways of competing. Instead, A&P used its sheer size to pressure suppliers into giving it preferential treatment over smaller retailers. Fearful of losing their biggest customer, food manufacturers had no choice but to sell to A&P at substantially lower prices than they charged independent grocers—allowing A&P to further entrench its dominance."

"That move tipped the retail market in favor of the largest chains, who could once again wield their leverage over suppliers, just as A&P had done in the 1930s. Walmart was the first to fully grasp the implications of the new legal terrain. It soon became notorious for aggressively strong-arming suppliers, a strategy that fueled its rapid expansion."
Cool, I like the other three, I'll give battleship chronicles a go.
This site is from that era, a bunch of posters on this thread are registered from then or before.

There was plenty of cynicism in tech back then too, plenty of posters who always complained about 'micro$oft'. How Oracle had been corrupted, etc.

What seems to be different now is that the optimism hype fades quicker. Back then Google kept it going for years. Recently things like Tesla and OpenAI the optimism gave way to the harsh reality of greed a lot quicker.
I have read the proposed amendment, and it still looks woefully insufficient. It changes the rules from "software is presumed to be reliable" to "software previously certified by any government authority is presumed to be reliable."

This applies even if the certification body did not, in fact, do any significant stress-testing that would, e.g., uncover the races, or was not aware of the specific use case that triggers a bug.

In other words: "the Court will presume correct operation of the computer system and will ignore the fact that the other party challenges this; the amendment references certifications coming from a government body at any time in the past as a valid basis to ignore such challenges."

MSN spam article - requires app download. No reader viable reader view. Why do people abuse the web like this? Just why.
The article claim is not that bigger stores used their pricing power to get cheaper deals and passed that savings along to consumers who then preferred them and their lower prices.

The claim is that the large grocery chains are able to use their pricing power to demand prices that squeeze suppliers, keeping the difference for the grocer, not for the consumer. Their ability to do this has increased the more consolidated the grocery store chains have been allowed to become, giving them much more power versus their suppliers.

Oh, man, I can still remember how when barcodes started showing up on products in the late 70s that there were people saying it was the mark of the beast or a precursor to it or that it was some government ploy.
Yeah I do this too.

I also, when playing a totally new game that no one has played, state up front that we're pretty much going to wing it for a few turns and after that we can see if we want to keep playing or start over.

Start over is often better, and it lets people not worry about getting into an hour-long game where they badly misplayed the first few turns.

There are some recent foundation models pre-trained on time-series data. For example TimesFM from Google. Of course, it's not directly built for classification, and it's meant for univariate datasets, so it would take some work to adapt it to these problem domains.
> If retailers were a monopoly they would have raised prices, and that hasn't happened.

Huh? Where have you been the past few years?? The price of groceries has gone way up, and this might have even determined the outcome of the Presidential election.
If I was interested in people I would likely have gone into business/management in school. I imagine if that were the case, I would probably have not liked software development much either. I've consistently chosen to continue to develop and it breaks the minds of management who can't understand why I don't want to be in leadership. Often development career paths in corporate America end in leadership positions. It's a different job -- one I don't feel qualified to do just because I'm good at the other one. I think this helps to show how people can fail up in an organization and that oftentimes management is a place to store good employees to keep them away from the competition. Don't get me wrong, there are people who do a job who make fine managers, but that's a happy accident in my view, and not a logical progression.
If they have no qualms doing this to their own employees, I imagine customer privacy is little more than PR at this point (but the more data pointing out their hypocrisy to customers the better).
> Not really. The number of deaths per Joule is orders of magnitude lower for nuclear than for eg coal; and that includes all the infamous nuclear disasters like the one in Chernobyl. But we still allow coal fired power plants.

It's not just about the deaths! Factor in the amount of land contaminated in a worst-case scenario and the duration of such a contamination and suddenly the entire comparison shifts in its result.

A NPP blowing up or getting damaged enough to spew radiation in a densely settled Western country impacts potentially hundreds of millions of people for decades. A coal plant blowing up? No one cares, maybe a few hundred people die and a few thousand lose their jobs - even the biggest coal power plant in Poland employs 8.000 people [1].

Oh believe me, I do. The democrats are absolutely complicit. But noting Reagan as an inflection point is also important because it humanizes the span of time. It was not "always like this". It happened because of one admin. It can be undone, we just don't care to, apparently.
We're not talking about inheritance of real property or money, we're talking about "IP rights" or "royalties". The two are not the same. Why should someone's kid get money from their parent's book decades after it's been published? No other profession has this perk.
I think the movie The Social Network was responsible for bringing this into the public consciousness, and constructing it to some extent. It kind of framed the discussion about the software industry for at least a decade.
This is an intellectually lazy argument.

The 1980s was a huge inflection point for our economy overall. It was the beginning of the baby boom. The end of Bretton Woods was just being felt. Instantaneous international markets were a thing for the first time.

You can pull as many threads as you want to make the case that it all points to the minutia of a single administration - but they just happened to be at the wheel when the tide was changing.
Understanding of hieroglyphs was lost because Egypt was invaded by Greeks, Romans, and Arabs over the course of a thousand years.

I harp on this. Unless I biffed my calcs a solar farm produces 25-50 times as much energy per acre as corn. That alone tells you biofuels is a dead technology.

A solar farm doesn't need to be weeded, ploughed, planted, weeded again, topped, and harvested every year like corn does. You also don't need to ferment it to ethanol then burn it at a 70% loss to power a set of wheels.

Possible also that the vegetation growing between and under the panels sequesters carbon.
The Marines also referenced sexual relations with "Arcturians" which might be human colonists or sentient aliens.

I really like your point about the Marines having fought/hunted/exterminated other "bugs". It casts their bravado in a different light. Even after seeing catastrophic damage from "acid for blood", the Marines are still very confident, which after beating other alien species, makes perfect sense. It's only when they get into the nest do they start getting scared.
Sounds like a good application for e-paper.
Thanks for sharing. This new feature is neat! It might sound a bit out there, but here's a thought: could you enable assigning unique IP addresses to different serverless instances? For certain use cases, like web scraping, it's helpful to simulate requests coming from multiple locations instead of just one. I think allowing requests to originate from a pool of IP addresses would be doable given this proxy model.
I think the first 5 years should be free; after that, fees apply, starting at probably $1000 for the next 5 years, and going up exponentially afterwards.
> 30 years ago you could go days without seeing ads

If anything, it is easier to avoid advertising today than it was 30 years ago. You can block notifications, spam filters are significantly better, content filters at the web browser and DNS level are available. On top of that, certain nuisance devices are possible to avoid. For example: you can still buy traditional watches.

Contrast that to 30 years ago. Nearly all radio stations, television stations, news papers, and periodicals included a lot of advertising. Telemarketers were certainly a thing. Advertising in public spaces was certainly a thing. You could consciously avoid most of those things, but you would also be isolating yourself in the process.

Perhaps you could make that argument if you were talking about 100 years ago, of people who lived in rural areas, and had very little contact outside of their community. Even then, you are talking about a form of isolation. The only difference is that type of isolation was much more common.
Yep, one business line is an albatross around the other. Some think this means it’s better they stay together. Others think you can save one by separating the other.

I, personally, found my life to improve when we decided that the cleaning lady could be someone from outside the marriage.
Ubuntu came with Compiz by default in 2007: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2007/11/ubunt...

“Ubuntu 7.10 is the first version of Ubuntu that ships with Compiz Fusion enabled by default on supported hardware. Compiz Fusion, which combines Compiz with certain components developed by the Beryl community, is a compositing window manager that adds a wide range of visual effects to Ubuntu's desktop environment. The default settings for Compiz enable basic effects—like window shadows and fading menus—that are subtle and unobtrusive. For more elaborate Compiz features, like wobbling windows, users can select the Extra option on the Visual Effects tab of the Appearance Preferences dialog.”
How much of this is just "most board games are awful"?

Awful in the sense of overly complicated and fiddly. There are plenty of games with deep strategic depth that have been around for hundreds of years and are simple enough that the rules fit on an index card and children routinely learn them from other children in the course of playing.

If you end up with a 20-page rulebook, perhaps the problem is not how best to organize that rulebook, but that you have 18 pages too many rules in the first place.
One intuition could be: As you divide 1 by negative numbers of smaller and smaller magnitude, you get negative numbers of increasing magnitude. At 0, the positive infinity of 1/0 is met by the negative infinity of 1/-0 and their average is 0.
> if people have the option, they prefer the locally grown, locally owned and operated smaller stores that might cost more

If the close store is the same price, then for sure, everyone will prefer what's nearby. If it is one hundred times the price (hyperbole) then everyone will take the drive. At some point of price differential is the current situation where people who are already forced to have cars will frequently take the drive for less expensive groceries. It's prima fascia the case.
I haven’t experienced any server issues, although I purchased it a few days after its launch. I have encountered a number of other problems, however. I cannot use the backspace key in text fields in the EFB, because it still triggers the camera view switching. The NAV systems are very glitchy, and frequently miss waypoints. The clouds look like cotton balls in a child’s diorama. Thrustmaster Hotas flight sticks have no preset mapping, are not fully recognized in the menus, and flat out don’t function properly even when manually mapped.

This title should have been delayed, but then I guess there’s not much time left in 2024 at this point. I feel sorry for the devs, there is a lot of exciting potential getting washed out by painfully obvious failures.
Before we started using "share" to mean "post" or "upload", and long before it meant "rent", it meant other things. Now it's so normal that we don't even think of how that word is a particular framing of those activities.

It's not ill defined to everyone else. If I say my phone is fast but it's nowhere close to the speed of a new phone, no one else would say it's fast.

High performance means you show that its speed is competitive against the other fastest programming methods.

You labeling something "high performance" because you wrote something slow and made it faster has nothing to do with releasing something and calling it "high performance" publicly.

It depends on how strong the demand is. China's strategy works with America since there is such a huge base of capital you can access and market cheap products to. India and Africa still have a ways to go, and even collectively won't represent demand equivocal to the value of the US market. In either case, China will be spending more to build more stuff to sell at lower prices.

I personally don't think tariffs are the right call, but I also don't think China has a perfect response either. They can't cover tariffs out of pocket because their government already bends over backwards to subsidize manufacturing. China is not the supernaturally stable power they project to others, and their power structure can be broken by refusing to give them what they want.
We are closer then ever before. Yes the tech is in its infancy, it's like buying a computer in the 80's. Some dream of the possibilities and chase them, others ridicule all this effort pouring in. History currently is on the side of technical innovation speeding up. humans are getting further faster and leveraging new tech to do so. I'm more concerned if our society handles this rate of change well, and what models in the future, that have the intellectual power of every human that has ever lived combined, will do as soon as someone sets them loose in full self agency mode. I hope it's everything the best of us aspire to be. I hope that models value truth above all else, I suspect truth and usefull training data are closely related. so yes, claims made are well within the realm of outcomes.

Where I come from: I've worked for NASA , as a System Administrator and Operational Test Conductor,helping to run field ops as well as maintain security , provision and administer their launch systems.

I've helped run operations involving multiple sites and multiple groups around the Country to that involved testing aspects of space hardware ,software involving multiple various teams and groups.

I currently am part of the requirement testing process for NASA's Launch Control Software and help design tests ,ensure the software is up to spec , and that it meets requirements for Artemis 2; putting the software through it's paces for our ultimate launch (and as the software comes along since future launches such as Artemis 3 and beyond will build directly from this) I'm also currently working the effort to confirm Artemis 2's communication links for launch!

I'm a team-orientated, friendly, detail focused technologist with a eye towards expanding and delving more into the development side of tech, leveraging my experience in administration and operations over, and getting a little deeper to working with the innards that make things tick and being able to tweak them,.

A Memory Called Empire is probably the best book I’ve ever read
I found this series a pulp read. Found it because one either won or was nominated for a Hugo. It’s no match for the old Hugos. It’s light fiction in a future universe rather than the kind of novel sci-fi I most enjoy.
Nice that it installs on mobile too.

Which baby boom are you talking about?
This is very silly, and the evidence for it is in the world all around you. Walmart is cheaper for most things. If they did not in fact pass the cost on, then there is the idea for your startup business: a grocery supplier to small neighborhood retailers.
Amazon also likes to tout their way of doing things as Amazon's peculiar culture. Some practices like reading the design proposal doc before starting the discussion about it looks right in general sense, but it usually turns out that almost all people who are invited to these meetings don't actually read that doc (instead are busy working on their tasks) or don't really have the depth to understand what's written in the doc in 15-30 mins. So what ends up happening is a lot of these meetings end up being dominated by whoever is the top dog (usually the guy with higher level in the room) in that meeting and the rest of the attendees end up listening to his/her opinion without much challenge (because most are intent on just getting out of that meeting).

The whole 2+ years I was there (left because of 3-days RTO), I felt like it was a cult and some people seem to drink the kool-aid (or they are good at pretending to like the culture), but some like me, who are more skeptical, don't.

This is pretty amusing but true. I enjoyed the series for its quirks (unable to detect many character genders) but it’s very young adulty with focus on social things and stuff.
