Here is a timeline of events leading up to the prime minister’s resignation.

July 2: Demonstrations take place in Bangladesh’s capital, Dhaka, to demand the cancellation of a quota system in civil service recruitment, which reserves 56% of jobs for people from various categories. Students say this is discriminatory.

The demonstrations started after the *High Court reinstated the quota system in June, overturning a 2018 government decision to abolish it*. While the government appealed the decision to the Supreme Court, students refused to wait for the outcome and demanded a new executive order canceling the quotas.
Meh, markets are a useful tool for the allocation of resources, but like everything you need to keep an eye on what they're doing and who's benefiting. And like everything you need to keep an eye on the people entrusted with keeping an eye on things as well.

It's a very "first world" problem. Maybe it would work in the few rich countries the world has, but as someone who lives in a region with the median monthly income of under $300, I can assure you it would be difficult to extract anything over $0 from most of our population because people don't have money to spend on things that can be obtained for free. Many people I know have literally zero cash by the end of the month after all necessities are taken care of. AFAIU, most of the world's population lives something like that, a bit better here, a bit worse there, but still.

$200 seems pretty cheap for a 24/7 [remote] intern with these abilities. That kind of money doesn't even buy a month's worth of Big Macs to feed that intern with.

It just seems like a lot (or even absurd) for a subscription to a service on teh Interweb, akin to "$200 for access to a web site? lolwut?"
Yep!

Over in Japan, the newly re-elected Hyogo Prefecture Governor is being sued for violating electoral laws concerning his use of social media, with the penalties including voiding of the election and the stripping of his electoral rights.

Incidentally, the Governor was re-elected in an upset victory after being ousted by the Hyogo Prefecture Legislature over alleged power harrassment scandals. Yes, the Japanese establishment hates him and are doing anything possible to get rid of him.
>So why do printer companies charge so much for ink? Because they can. Because they have merged with or bought most of their competitors. Because they have weaponized laws to make it illegal for you to modify your printer, or for rivals to make ink cartridges that work with it. Because they can send updates to your printer whenever they want, not just to add features or protect your security, but to steal functionality from you.

I realize that style of writing appeals to the "us vs them" mentality but I'd rather read about the underlying economics and finances.

The inkjet printer manufacturers are using a "razor and blades" business model: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razor_and_blades_model

The blog's paragraph could have also mentioned that aspect and as a bonus, also educated readers enough to generalize the business practice and later "pattern match" on similar scenarios such as "cheap mobile phones" that are locked down with 2 year contracts. I.e. "teach a man to fish ... yada yada"

Nobody said anything about the US caring about civilians. In fact i implied the US targetted civilians. So, the extremeness of your bias is showing.

> Taking old cartridge (with the right chips and everything) and topping it up from a syringe (they hold only a few ml anyway), so you don't have to break anything, can't be expensive or hard to do if the ink itself wasn't expensive. Everyone should want to get in on this business model. Since the page doesn't say anything about the actual cost price, I wonder if it isn't so lucrative as they make it seem

If you mean setting up a business refilling other peoples' empty cartridges, this was briefly a thing when people still wanted to print things in color, and therefore wanted inkjet printers. It wouldn't be a standalone business, but an additional service at copy shops, computer stores, and sometimes cell phone shops (the sketchy-ish independent kind). When everyone has a color screen in their pocket all the time, there is little demand for this.

Also, the means to do this are very very cheap and the process requires no special skill. You can buy refill kits with the syringes and enough ink for dozens of cartridges for less significantly less than the cost of a single cartridge. If you're interested in cheaping out on printer cartridges, it makes more sense to just buy one of these. A service that requires $20 worth of capital and no skill is never going to be the basis of a lucrative business.
that's not cropping, that's resizing -- you're resizing the aspect ratio of your image from its natural dimensions to 8x10. cropping would be if you cropped your image to only show 10% of that image...

Because they still cost 3x as an inkjet in most places, and then a toner cartidge costs about 100 €.

Psychologically, I think it is people consumers feel "stuck" with a printer once they purchase it, and the cost of ink is bad but not bad enough to precipitate a switch. I also wonder how many people dont want to rock the boat on an IT configuration that is working (certainly the case for my mom!)

A means of furthering division? I've seen nothing but barely-constrained glee from liberals, conservatives, progressives and MAGA folks. This seems to be one issue we can all agree on.

America does not want for-profit insurance interfering in their medical care. The insurance companies are do-nothing middle men who will stop at nothing (including mass murder by systematically denying medical care) to extract value for their shareholders. It's disgusting and morally corrupt - yet they have the government in their pocket and are effectively immune from the law. Hell, they largely make their own laws.

This event was America's reaction to the situation - things have gotten so hopeless that vigilante justice is widely seen as the only option.

No, I'm taking a step back and saying that if the law provides for nullifying the election, it's a bad law. It's an even worse law if no due process is involved (i.e. "nothing has been proven against this candidate in court as of yet, but we're going to go ahead and nullify the election because he benefited from foreign interference, as far as we can tell based on what our intelligence services are telling us").

For what it's worth, it sounds like the runner-up candidate agrees:

> Lasconi condemned the court's ruling as "illegal" and "immoral", saying "today is the moment when the Romanian state has trampled on democracy".
> True but the 10,000 civilians were not all killed while they were living there.

Baghdad still stands. Many Ukrainian towns are nothing but a name on a map and a pile of rubble on the ground. I didn't mean to leave an impression as if all inhabitants have been killed, but the towns have ceased to exist as places of human settlement.

> In Iraq, there were 10s of thousands of civilian casualties estimated within the first few days of the invasion.

Certainly not, that's an insane number. Common estimates put the number of civilian casualties in low thousands for the entire invasion phase that lasted several months, and these figures include deaths from indirect causes such as crime related to breakdown of social order, which contributed roughly as much as the invading force itself, if you trust the data from Iraqi Body Count project.

> That's more than the entire casualty estimate for Ukraine so far.

Everyone doing estimates stresses that they severely undercount due to lack of access to occupied areas. You are comparing a clearly inflated Iraqi figures against clearly undercounted Ukrainian figures.

While formally not civilians, many who have died as Russian combatants were Ukrainian civilians who were forcibly conscripted from occupied areas. These so-called "mobiks" alone make up tens of thousands of dead because they were untrained, poorly equipped and expendable.

The wealth inequality leads to a power inequality in a system where money can influence politics and policy, which is most of them.

This leads to politicians and policies that mostly bend to the wealthy investor class instead of the working class.

The working class feels (correctly) that they aren’t being well represented.

The wealth inequality in isolation may not be a huge problem, but there are many second and third order effects of this. We aren’t just talking about “own a mansion” wealthy, we’re talking about “buy an election” and “prevent reasonable healthcare reform” wealth and power.
Yes, but I trust them.

Specifically, I trust the CEO and founder.

Based on what was written on the casings of the bullets, I think we all have a pretty strong guess.
A few years ago, I started writing a Matrix client library for Kotlin. At one point, I had to make an API decision based on how messages are ordered. When I found this issue, I subscribed to it and planned on continuing with my library when the spec was clarified. Given how foundational this spec unclarity is, I thought it wouldn't take too long.

Well.
Yep, that sort of thing happens constantly. Things get misleading names because the first three alternatives I came up with were also misleading. So I agree, and indeed I considered a foo bar baz scheme instead of icons, same difference. Then you have to look somewhere else for what the thing does. Self-documenting code doesn't really work, and strict naming schemes are long-winded and worse than ad-libbing it, so it would have to be comments, but then the comments get forgotten and no longer reflect the code. I give up, might take up woodwork instead.
AI Weapons and the Dangerous Illusion of Human Control
Yeah, the econoomics of this market explains it all. Printers are a commodity; you really can't differentiate one from another, so it's a race to the bottom on prices. But it still costs money to make+ship them at high enough volume to take advantage of economies of scale. The only way you can play in this market is by being large enough to sell the printer at a loss and recouping money on recurring supplies/subscriptions on the back end.
You'll have to ask the aggressor. I'd imagine they'd tell you it's the same benefit they hoped to derive in targeting a theatre in the middle of town that was known to be in use as a bomb shelter, and had the world "Children" painted in large letters out front:

Last time we spoke, they said something about an urgent need to "de-nazify" the area.
Exactly

it's so stupid to assume they were junk. but it's by no means lonely as an example.

Merely limiting the tremendous stupidity of the human race (in the long run, collectively) to science (when there's plenty more in other fields), this is just more part of human arrogance that has brought us other myopic spectacular fuck ups as:

Earth is the center of universe (at pain of death, no less); We can introduce a new predatory species to a virgin ecosystem to control an existing pest; Aliens can't possibly exist as we are clearly the best God could create; We understand all physics and all reality and therefore even if the incredible impossibility of aliens existing were true, they couldn't possible ever visit us from other solar systems because we can't figure out how their doing so could be consistent with the equations of physics we devised; ancient people's are so incredibly primitive compared to us today, they must of only had inferior methods of almost everything; despite being so inferior to us, they created multiple megalithic monuments (primitively, of course), because we are clearly so superior to anything else that could possibly exist there could never have been other human or non-human civilizations on this planet doing stuff we still can't...

A disappointing collectivist conformity on hyperdrip into the mainline of what should be global creative scientific endeavor on this planet is instead a monument to our collective stupidity, ignorance and anthropocentric, self aggrandizing myopia.

Hopefully that self-limiting arrogance is a genetic trait we will soon evolve out of....as long as people keep reproducing!!!
I was being sarcastic. :)

The whole point of Unicode is to encode languages. We already handle Arabic, which means we should be able to handle most languages. Even if we can’t convert a language into codepoints, we have the ability to record sound and images in resolutions beyond human acuity.

You’re right the technology dictates form. The computers represent English different than print. Due to the limitations of previous technology, indented paragraphs are less common than an empty line between paragraphs. Same with single-width or double spaces after periods.

Seriously, if you are starting developing websites today, the first thing you need to do is learn the web platform: html, css, javascript (probably typescript as well while you are at it), svg; and some basic server-side stuff. React is for when you get pretty comfy with those.
Can you please provide a source for the 10s of thousands claim? I find it extremely hard to believe, considering the way the war was persecuted.

That's so completely impractical I don't know where to begin.

There are hundreds of thousands of substations in a modern country, and more transformers on top of that. And the bigger substations are huge. An urban 275kV substation could easily be 10 acres in size.

"Wires" are also not especially cheap or easy to replace either, even at "low" voltages like under 33kV. It's not a few feet of twin and earth and an h-clip.

And a couple of inches of steel will absolutely not stop small drones if they're designed from the ground up to be anti-materiel devices.

Honestly the reactions to the CEO being killed has been interesting.

Basically most people are at least not mad that it happened.

Folks that are mad I’ve noticed come from a background of generational wealth, which translates to never having dealt with an insurance company.

As a society we’ve been far too comfortable with death in the form of profit seeking and bureaucracy. It’s all good if the death is indirect and many layers deep. It’s bad if the death is direct and targeted.
Great analysis, and I agree it's Fred Brooks' point all over again.

None of these tools hurt, but you still need to comprehend the problem domain and the tools -- not least because you have to validate proposed solutions -- and AI cannot (yet) do that for you. In my experience, generating code is a relatively small part of the process.
