It's not really a courtly dance. It's a near impossible conversation to have because "assault weapon" doesn't have any kind of clear or helpful meaning. Even the expired AWB didn't do a decent job of defining. And arguably many "features" usually shoehorned in are just silly. Like there's nothing especially bad about pistol grips on rifles.
This is why you should never ever use Google Collab.
As an IT industry analyst, Japan also seemed always determined to do things their own way--see Itanium. Which made things more difficult for selling to a wider marker. Could make some of the same comments for Europe for which I also attended a variety of industry events.
The "down to earth local grower" is a form of marketing that appeals to you. It's not a guarantee of quality, and probably more variable. Many vendors at farmer's markets just buy and relabel stuff, because producing goods efficiently enough to make a profit is actually hard.
Most petrol family cars are less than 1500 kg in Europe. Americans are used to overweight cars and that's spreading to here too. Though it's often a problem since most city parking spots are smaller than huge cars like Tesla model Y.

I'm hoping for this effect, as more and more I work with people who don't consider `make` the default (or, more often, have never heard of it).

But I think the hard part -- for any build system -- is achieving the ubiquity `make` had back in the day. You could "just" type "make" and you'd either build the project, or get fast feedback on how much that project cared about developers.
No. There is a mantra in the crypto community about DYOR (Do Your Own Research) but in a way it is an impossibility since most people don't have the knowledge to DYOR. It's like BYOD "Be Your Own Doctor".
I suspect multiple things are getting mixed together... I swear I remember reading what GP said much further back than two years ago.

Edit: That said, the part you quoted supports GP, the part in quotes seems to be what they actually asked. Credit is probably not what most would think of as "cash equivalent", that would be debit, checks, and transfers like Zelle.

16% straight answered like that, if you scroll down to the next table for non-cash-equivalent payments:

"The GL.iNet OEM firmware is a fork of OpenWrt and thankfully is compatible with official OpenWrt sysupgrade images, so returning to OEM is done simply by flashing their sysupgrade image without keeping settings and vice versa."

With GL.inet the buyer can install their own OpenWRT images. The OEM OpenWRT fork is a means of installing the buyer's choice of OpenWRT image.

For Cudy, another Chinese OEM, OpenWRT ToH refers to this as "Intermediate Firmware". See, e.g., https://openwrt.org/toh/cudy/tr1200

An OEM OpenWRT fork ("intermediate firmware") is (pre)installed, allowing a buyer overwrite it with an open source, GPL compliant OpenWRT image of their choice downloaded from openwrt.org or one compiled from source code downloaded from openwrt.org.

OpenWRT One is a Banana Pi board. Like GL.inet or Cudy, the Chinese OEM has their own system images.^1 Can a buyer reproduce them. 1. For example, https://docs.banana-pi.org/en/BPI-R4/BananaPi_BPI-R4#_system...
Your personal preferences are influenced by culture, but they include your material realities. If you're making decisions about your finances/housing without considering your material reality, you've been meme'd into a decision. A lot of people have been influenced into believing that being an owner is always better than being a renter, so they make stupid decisions.

Just give me something that looks like a Buick Grand National or a '92 Camaro..... I'll pay the extra money for gas. Why can't they be creative and reduce the efficiency just a tad.
There isn't a significant upside either.

At the end of the day, buring cable throughout it's way is very expensive while damaging it at one spot, even if it's buried, is not that hard or expensive.
The actual text that all Brave users are seeing when they visit Lobste.rs is:

Blocking a cryptocurrency scam where the Brave browser pretended to be fundraising on behalf of a site without that site's knowledge or consent, then lied about funds being held in escrow and kept them for itself. For details:

https://lobste.rs/c/bwbssx

https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters-ansible/issues/45

and

https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters/issues/761

Edit: repeated below comment.

As I understand it, Brave added a "donate to lobste.rs" link when viewed in their browser, and then kept all the money.

If you are using Brave, confirm any donation (and maybe anything else involving money) in another browser.
You can just block ads and not show any ads at all, the way Internet should be. All the crypto bullshit is trivially disabled. Your other major choices are basically Firefox (which is not to everyone's liking either) and Chrome, in which it'll soon be impossible to block ads at all.
Either you took my comment out of context or I did not do a good job in communicating the idea. I said:

"Outside of what I've come to refer to the "food should be food" group, if you regularly consume five or more servings per week of any food, you will do damage to your body in one of many ways"

Clarified, in simpler terms, this means: Do not eat highly processed shit food.

Restated, if you regularly consume five or more servings of shit food per week, you will do damage to your body.

There's nothing whatsoever good about these foods. Some of the damage isn't immediately visible. This is particularly true of maintaining healthy gut bacteria. The well documented connection between gut bacteria and the nervous system means that damage to gut bacteria can have far reaching consequences.

Furthermore, it takes time to repair damage such as rebuilding gut flora, fatty liver, insulin resistance, etc. There's nothing whatsoever good about regularly eating highly processed foods. Nothing.

My greater point is that health is a complex multivariate problem. The internet is full of single variable "fixes" that are nothing less than ridiculous. Eating five servings of chocolate, drinking wine once a day, drinking coffee, various supplements, etc., etc., ad nauseum. All of it nonsense. Eat real food in moderation and exercise. It's that simple.

I also recoil at some of these research projects, because, for some strange reasons, they always seem to reach ridiculous conclusions and the idea of the studies are ridiculous to start with.

Among these none has caused more damage to society than the government-pushed dietary guidelines published in the late 1970's. Since then, obesity and extreme obesity have absolutely exploded. Not to mention the whole menu of metabolic diseases that have come with a likely 10-fold increase in the consumption of sugar per capita and cocktails full of truly harmful substances.

I could go on. All I'll say is I am glad RFK is involved in potentially disrupting the way we deal with some of the things that have become leading causes of death in societies around the world.

This isn't a bad presentation on the subject:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOgH9LDwBzY
I see two arguments based on published sequences, often presented without clear distinction between the two:

1. If the WIV had a progenitor, they would have published it pre-pandemic. That was always ridiculous, since any active research group in the world has unpublished work in progress. These new samples confirm that to be specifically false, since they were collected "between 2004 and 2021".

2. If the WIV had a progenitor, they would have published it post-pandemic. In other words, they would publish that sequence, knowing that it establishes the WIV's research as the most likely cause of the pandemic. I don't think many people, no matter how honorable, would wish to confess to ~7M deaths. Even if they did, it's likely that the PRC would impose terrible consequences on themselves and their loved ones, since that contradicts the PRC's preferred story of zoonotic origin outside China followed by import on frozen fish.

So I don't think the absence of published sequences means much. Do you disagree?

Or is there any other piece of evidence that you believe strongly establishes that SARS-CoV-2 entered humans by natural zoonosis, and you'd be willing to discuss? I understand you think the points I mentioned from that debate aren't the most important, but you didn't say which ones you think are.
It’s so wild I honestly cannot believe it. 30 years of 3rd party app trust protocols (e.g. Apple App Store, Google Play, Chrome Extensions, FB/IG Apps). 2024 and Coinbase is just raw-dogging third party apps.
He's got mad skills for somehow acquiring a rare gun without LE's first move not being "He's one of these 40 people who bought one." You need a federal ID, a background check, the time to wait for all that, and thousands of dollars.

I have been reading the Hyperion series by Dan Simmons. It's a 4 book series, and each book is surprisingly good. I say surprisingly because some series start good and fade off. Unlike the Culture series read these in order.
They have to make money somehow. They're pretty upfront about the way it works. They just used a different idea than that of Google. You can also opt out of tailored ads. People like it because it's fast with a built-in ad blocker and some like the crypto stuff and the fact you can connect to Tor with it
OT why is your comment history all about politics and mostly Russia?

It's not "all about politics". You could have said "Why is it mostly about ...?" and the question would have had an entirely different ring to it. But the wording you chose was weird and distracting, so I don't think I'll be able invest much time in answering.

Other than to say: I respond mostly to muddled thinking and misinformation (and in some cases outright disinformation). Which not coincidentally seems to bubble forth continuously from posts referencing that country (and a certain other one). Which also tend to appear in bursts, as we have seen. So the intent is to keep the conversation at least borderline reality-centered. And hence, per the site guidelines, more "interesting".

(Not that your post is in this category. I just think you're probably mistaken).

In that sense the interest isn't even all that "political" as such. It's more psychological and cognitive.

It's odd for a startup/tech oriented board.

It's not specifically startup/tech-oriented. Check the guidelines again.

I have an interest in tech also, but am also rather burned out on it.

The more powerful it gets, the more boring it gets, somehow.
I don’t think this is a viable option anymore. Most new patients are scheduled 3-9 months out in my experience. It’s particularly bad trying to see a specialist (I’ve been trying to get a spinal consultation for 10 months now, and I still need one more approval before they will actually put me on the schedule.
I respect DYOR, but how can you research apps that have no bonafides , certs, keys etc?
> For example, if you see a picture of a car, there's very little inherent uncertainty on what the answer is. If you see the world simulator state there's a lot of uncertainty on what happens next.

I've been thinking about this a lot. Many ML people work with what is "closed-domain" data -- the data is essentially complete (image, sound, words, or any kind of embeddings) with no unmeasured variables, so the ML algorithm is essentially trying to learn a function that can predict this.

Unfortunately a lot of "open-domain" data has tons of unmeasured variables that are contextual. Suppose I were to try to predict how a full a parking lot would be over the course of a week. You can gather lots and lots of data, but still never get to a near-perfect level of accuracy because the co-variates that drive how full a parking lot is (unexpected influencer effects on the demand, competitive forces that happen to shift one day, power outages in the other part of town, other irreducible randomness = "aleatoric uncertainty" in technical parlance) aren't in the data (or at least not completely).

Fortunately this isn't a problem in real life because many effects cancel each other out, so we are able to arrive at a good-enough aggregate prediction. But "open-domain" ML problems will never achieve the kind of accuracy that "closed-domain" ML can achieve, even with tons of data. Closed domain ML can assume a degree of regularity that open domain ML can never assume.
One unclear point: how would these planets form?

Stars go through the red giant phase before becoming white dwarves, so they will swallow all the planets close to the star. And blow away any remnants of the accretion disk.
The Danger of Being a Whistleblower
I tend to work on different projects in different terminal sessions so I don't find this a problem, but OK, I can see the benefit of making the tasks a command line executes dependent on the current directory. (There are tools that can auto-adjust $PATH for you like this, but that would be a weak argument against Just (unless you're using them already) since it would mean swapping Just for that-other-tool.)

If you use git and don't need multiple "layers" of Justfiles (i.e., if you have all your scripts in a scripts folder at the top level of your repo), then in bash you can get what you want with:

run(){ `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`/scripts/$*; }

Now from any repo subdir, `run clean` will run a script named "clean" in the scripts folder at the top level.
I’ve streamed city pop playlists while working and never realized city pop was a 70’s and 80’s thing. That’s kind of a funny thing about modern music streaming services— the music is just there and there’s no context. It never occurred to me that I was listening to 30 or 40 year old music…
And as insult to injury, since it's based on the Chromium codebase, using Brave still supports Chrome's creep toward total browser monoculture, much like Edge.
I mean, he did have a safety net and he squandered it.

$80,000 is a great down payment in most places of the USA. You could buy a large country home with a pool and a view in most places of the world with that money.

I like risk takers, but quitting your job and spending all that money isn't actually a risk, it's just kinda lazy.

I'm not trying to be mean. This guy's obviously doing a lot right. He has friends, he's physically active, he has hobbies. But none of these things requires spending down $80k with effectively $0 in income.

Maybe he reads this comment and it lights a fire under his ass. 2 years is too long to get going, bro. You gotta dial in, move faster, and make money in a few weeks tops, or just get a job and slow burn on the side.
Sounds all correct to me, just the second word in your comment: I'm not sure how this adds up to it being a "problem". It's what "paycheck to paycheck" literally sounds like, it's what the dictionary says it means, it's how people use it -- but apparently not everyone. If you want to refer to people who are financially struggling, not using a broad term but just saying what you mean sounds okay to me?
Jira Wrapped 2024 for your teams
Maybe they don't think injecting referral links is bad behaviour. It doesn't hurt anyone's experience, and often gives a financial bonus to both parties in exchange for creating a database record that doesn't tell anyone anything they didn't already know from the User-Agent string or fingerprinting.

"The content you see on a site may not be the content being sent" is a low-effort excuse, too: plenty of users don't want to see plenty of things that site owners want them to see, and use browsers that display what they want to see.
From the Bretton Woods system to global stagnation [pdf]
It's surprising how much of the educated tech workforce subscribes to the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" logic. Software has come such a long way to reach the point where you don't need to buy a compiler or textbook on learning C to be a developer. It's entirely lost on a generation of people that feel like the internet can be "fixed" with microtransactions and "healthy" advertisements.

Brave itself is such a maelstrom of offensive ideas that I really am really surprised they didn't get sued into the ground after the Tom Scott incident. The people that still use Brave better know how to set their useragent - this sort of blocking won't go away anytime soon.
Like joshstrange I want to love this but it's hard. I echo the comments about the front page. It's a lot of marketing speak, but I could really use a 25 word version on what this is going to do for me and how I'm going to use it.

If I go to the examples, I get the chance to see a ton of example programs. But I'm dumped into an IDE that I've never used. One change would be to put a run button as a top menu choice. It would be really helpful if the programs had a comment at the top about what the program will do.

I also looked in the FAQ pages hoping for a "how does this work" "how do I use this" etc. and also just got two questions about "how do I pay for this".

Josh got downvoted pretty hard, (and I guess I'll follow), but he had some spot on comments.

Yep, the bot gave the complete wrong answer to something for me. Problem is that it wasn’t me that asked the question, and the person who read the answer took it at face value.

I knew from the formulaic response it was an LLM but had to fight with the other person to get them to see it. As soon as you see the question being repeated back at you in summary form as part of the answer it’s probably an LLM.

Gasoline has 100x more energy density per kg than Lithium batteries. As you said EVs are 3x more efficient so per kg dofference is 33x. Electic motors are much more compact and lighter than ICEs but not enough to close the 33x gap for the same weight. Thus for a similar range EVs need to be heavier.

My ICE car is 1300kg and it can drive ~1000km with a full tank of 62 liters.

The cultural and legal expectations around photographing people are very different in Germany than in most English-speaking countries, and especially the USA. In Germany, taking photos of people without permission is socially unacceptable, and sharing such photos is usually illegal.

In the USA, photographing people from somewhere the photographer has the right to be is protected as freedom of speech with few exceptions, and is less likely to be seen as rude. Of course a business can still impose its own rules of conduct inside.
It does this under some conditions (I haven't worked out which), but mostly it seems to give a "This site can’t be reached

I believe that BigTech these days look for conformists, not superstar SWEs. If you agree to waste your time on preparation to meaningless LeetCode style interview then you are one of them and ready to be a part of the company. I do believe that is actually one of the things that being tested by such an interview, it's not a proxy for IQ, it's a proxy for candidate's readiness to eat dull corporate BS and not complain about it.
“Europe” isn’t homogeneous either. My English grandfather was stingy, irascible, and highly educated, and he kicked most of his kids out at 16 since that was the age when he had to fend for himself. He maintained strained relationships with his kids for the rest of his life, although he loved his grandkids unconditionally and was a pretty good grandfather.

My Eastern European grandfather never finished high school, and his whole purpose in life was to provide opportunities for his kids. They worked hard and built good lives with the advantages he gave them. Now he’s in his nineties and one of his kids visits him basically every day. He seems happy.

He’s also outlived my English grandfather by almost ten years, but that could be coincidence or genetics.

Recency bias, amplified by the age bias in tech. There are a whole bunch of people in this industry who just weren't around before the post-2008-great-financial-crisis-zero-interest-rate-money-firehouse financed an unusually long bull market and sent pay packages through the stratosphere.
And beyond the location near the lab there are some other things that would be a bit of a coincidence.
battery transition? from what to that? grid-tied/always on electricity? something else?

not against it, I have been starting to build my own offgrid system (mobile, I will need to relocate eventually as I am too far north at the time being for solar/wind gen to work effectively), but the ability to generate electricity is far easier than storage of said electricity. when you scale it up and have a large and/or unlimited budget then options like pumped storage hydroelectricity, or gigawatt tier capacitors make a lot more sense than current-gen battery tech... but for the you and me/average guy on the street, current-gen battery tech is all we can really afford.
