All it takes is a cooperating bank teller, $200, and some patience and you can order a strap of $2's. Chances are large that 100 uncirculated $2 bills in sequential order will be ready for you to pick up in a few days.

I don't expect there's much more value than $200 in there, but if you disagree, you're welcome to figure out what your local bank's limit on currency ordering is :P

That's how analogies are supposed to work. How do you expect civil society to function if people only supported civil disobedience when it's their preferred cause?
Indeed, Trudeau had the whole state-funded media to use as his propaganda apparatus on his side - and it's why free speech is under threat trying in Canada and elsewhere, them trying to manufacture consent by so-called "hate speech" for the fascists to gain more control to censor-suppress dissidents who see what they really are.

Fun fact: I got one of those in the mail from a friend a couple days after my dad died.

He felt terrible for the timing, but it wasn't his fault. He placed the order, and the next day I announced that my dad was in the hospital after suffering a hemorrhagic stroke. A couple days later, he passed, and then a couple days after that, I got the bag of dicks.

I still appreciated it. I thought it was funny.
It sounds like the client you're describing is less capable than the client of 2005, and I'd be curious to hear why you think that's a good thing.
No, because that would be sharing your photo and not unique to you as a user. I also don't really see why anyone would want to do that...
Show HN: Intrepid AI – AI powered platform for autonomous robots
So Disney is selling Hulu to Fubo and loaning them the money to buy it? This can't be good. Why would Hulu with nearly 4x the subscribers give it away to Fubo? Just because Fubo sued over another service Disney wanted to start? It makes no sense unless Disney wants out of streaming that isn't Disney or ESPN branded.

Fubo is to be the caretaker of the "iconic brand) (Hulu) which means it will go away.

Sorry, but Macs require an online account only if you want to use optional online services offered by Apple, just as is the case with Microsoft and something like OneDrive or Office 365.

You aren't required to use the optional services on either platform.

The difference is that Microsoft wants to force you to use an online Microsoft account to log into your own local computer. Macs do not require that.
It was something like the Ottawa police said they were unable to and Ford said it was a local issue or not a priority. He was onboard with emergency act as it helped with Windsor too.

If a content creator hosts their own videos and then Youtube nukes their channel, they're still going to be hurt by it since Youtube is often the bulk of their audience. The other sharing platforms (even if they aren't video focused) are also going to be able to nuke your distribution channel, so the creator is no better that way. Maybe an email list? Heh.

I don't know the last time I actually went to someone's website for video content. Maybe a business, for instructional videos? But those are either inset Youtube videos or are actually annoying to watch.

If the advice is for people to not depend on revenue from their content creation, that might be a fair point. But I feel like the effort of saying that might be better aimed at telling the hosting platforms to not be asses.

(Then again, I don't believe that large social media platforms can be effectively moderated -- so I'm not much help here either. I have no clue how the content creation industry would fit into that world.)

Heh, PirateSoftware, he talks about this, being both sec ops and having worked at blizzard.

If you mean the fake bokeh that blurs the background, turn off portrait mode.

You can toggle "pro raw" in the default camera app. It captures a lot more information from the sensor. The files are a lot larger, it isn't throwing away information that isn't visible like in the shadows. This gives you more flexibility like changing color balance and exposure after the fact because of that extra data. But there is still some sharpening and post processing.

You can use the camera app inside lightroom or "procamera" or other apps and take raw photos, where it records all of the sensor data without any post processing. Most people don't want this, you need to develop the images using software like lightroom to look good.
Satellitetoolbox.jl has reached milestone 1.0

SatelliteToolbox.jl enables satellite orbit propagation, reference system transformation, atmospheric density calculation and numerous other space mission-related tasks in the Julia programming language. This post shows the evolution of the ecosystem, from its initial conception to its current state, highlighting some notable use cases enabled by this package.
This is one of those personal sites where you fall down a rabbit hole. I've been reading this series of posts for quite a while now because it's simply but enjoyably written. He has a nice turn of phrase:

> The let up in the weather didn't last long, though. Even though the forecast for the area had indicated a cloudy but rainless afternoon, it just started pelting down rain in buckets. There is nothing like a really cold, persistent rain to find the weak spots in your rain gear, and before long my face, chest, and feet were soaked and freezing. The rain turned what had been a mediocre day into a miserable day. It could have been worse, I guess, but only if it had rained snakes.
I kinda interpreted it as: "Here's an example of something which we would not call intelligence if you knew how it worked, therefore our definition of intelligence must somehow involve process or understanding, not just results."
Please look at these numbers in depth - not how they're presenting them.

Similarly, the majority of industry growth has been Federal jobs - from Grok:

"Since Trudeau took office in 2015, the size of the federal public service has grown by approximately 43%. By March 31, 2024, the federal government's payroll included 367,772 employees, up from 257,034 in 2015."

43% increase; paid for by the public.
I think he understands quite a bit. People on his team are very far from being stupid. They’re all playing the “populist game in the streets” to garner support, but it doesn’t seem like they have a strategy laid out to confront the upcoming problems.
“South: The Story of Shackleton’s Last Expedition, 1914–1917” by Sir Ernest Shackleton. Here, Shackleton documents the journey of the Endurance expedition, which aimed to traverse Antarctica but instead became a legendary tale of survival after the ship was trapped and destroyed by pack ice.
Yeah, but you have to go all the way to a farm to find cows and sheep. People are right next door, ready to be eaten.
Provinces are absolutely responsible, policing is all on them.
Many children have always hated homework and sought ways to avoid it or cut corners. This tool is disturbing in that you actually do finish the homework, yet in a way where you learn nothing at all.

I personally believe children should have no homework or far less of it. Typical education lasts 12-21 years. An insane amount of time. Use the lesson time more effectively and give kids some breathing room.

Disturbing detail of the post is this young girl watching Squid Games. This is a show where a few dozen people get executed each episode. Some are shot and kept alive so that their organs are fresh for harvesting.

How on earth do you let a 11 y/o girl watch that?

All of this seems like total neglect, but frankly I understand it (somewhat). The modern couples I know are dual income. By the time they're done with work, dinner and cleaning up, it's 8PM. Now we expect them to dig into the homework of their children and micro manage every media they consume? They don't have the time and energy and often don't even understand half of it.

Dual income society is a societal disaster.
Apple is so derivative and marketing-type driven now, that it even got into the VR shit, after it had already resulted in nothing for Facebook and others peddling it for years. Given that, there was zero chance that they'd skip AI slop.

There is an interesting phenomenon going on here. On one hand, this is pretty mundane: a software tool you’re currently using shows you examples of ways to use the software. On the other hand, this does technically constitute an “ad”.

What’s interesting to me is that some people seem to have a strong emotional reaction to the fact that it’s possible to describe this as “Instagram using my face in an ad,” even if the underlying event lacks the characteristics that would make that statement outrageous.
Engineers have lost almost all our leverage. Even if you are a top 20% engineer (which would make you very talented by 1990s standards) you have limited employment opportunities. The education system completely revamped itself and has been cranking out CS grads. Engineers are no longer calling the shots, big corps have the situation under their thumb again.
what is still a big puzzle is why police didn't draw weapons during such a violent attack. Usually police, the DC one including, would draw weapons and shoot at the smallest perception of even smallest disobedience like say even when a pregnant woman just wouldn't follow their commands, yet during Capitol attack the police behaved completely different. From various videos it seems that the police didn't perceive any threat there at the time.

If Instagram shows you an old post with a picture thats got a filter on, or grouped some of your pictures together into a frame, saying "look back on your memories and repost" is that an advert?

what about those stupid "Here is a post from your friends on threads" with most of the stuff cropped off, as soon as you try and click it, its loads the fucking app store?

Meta have done some terrible shit, but this isn't up there. Its not even a mili-cambridge analyitica. (or a pico-myanmar) its just a shitty app in their shitty social network.

It seems like we are just hipster-hate yak shaving on something pointless, and missing the much wider point that the US needs decent data protections laws, and a functioning legislature.
No, it's worse than DALL-E 3, it's an on-device model that can only reproduce placid soulless images. The ones I put in the article have been heavily cherry-picked. The worst ones get far worse. DALL-E 3 can at least do text.

I hope YouTube can make this a better experience extremely soon.

With YouTube video being used as a proxy for credible content on search results..

3 relatively anonymous complaints, in bad faithc can end so much learning and work… without evidence or reply kind of is deterring from having great content on YouTube.

The deterrent to creating good content on YouTube lets the bad content win, except it might not keep the eyeballs for advertising as well or broadly.

I’m not sure if the complainant must be required to contact the channel prior to accepting a dmca complaint? EBay has a built in messaging system, maybe YouTube can too.

Further if there’s ways creators can be protecting their creations before posting they should be built into the workflow, whether it’s registering custom music, etc.

Otherwise the price of success is targetable in an automated fashion to take down a channel if they don’t comply or pay out.

A channel inbox might force behaviour into first creator to creator before escalating straight to too easily triggering things.

Maybe new complainants found to have too many complaints in short order or some other pattern could possibly have to pass much higher kyc requirements to help each other communicate more effectively.
Co-author here! I'll let the proposal mostly speak for itself but one recurring question it doesn't answer is: "how likely is any of this to happen?"

We should have been given the choice to properly send him off in a general election.
I personally don't care about the year of release. The display size is good to know, but it doesn't tell me whether it's an IPS or OLED, which I care more about. Besides, I'm much more interested about the CPU, RAM, disk size, etc.

So should all of these be part of the product name as well, just to please me? Probably not.

Yet if the manufacturer segmented their product by arbitrary brand names (which could also be "Base", "Pro", "Max", etc. mind you; I just think these are overloaded terms, and custom terms like XPS, Latitude, etc. would be clearer), and then subdivided these with sensible model names that encoded this information, this would make more sense. Given that I as a consumer get familiar with it, which one might want to do before deciding to spend thousands on a product.

Again, I'm not saying that Dell has done a good job at this, but potentially it _can_ be done well. For example, I think MikroTik does a decent job at this[1]. It does lead to product names that are difficult to parse/pronounce like "CSS326-24G-2S+RM", but once you're familiar with the scheme, it's easy to know which product has which specs, and to compare them.

Anyway, it's fine if we disagree. I think we both made our case.

> What were the privacy concerns of yesterday that we don’t need to worry about today?

The web/internet is a hell of a lot more private today than 10 years ago. Third party cookies are basically gone, mobile tracking is going out the door with Apple leading that charge, there are tons of relatively popular browsers and extensions that reduce tracking even more, there's enough privacy legislation that big companies have had to re-architect to preserve privacy as much as possible by default.

Hell, if we're just talking about Meta, they literally nuked a thriving third-party developer API ecosystem to appease people's privacy concerns, out right.
I heard this recently - "For the median student, the education system mostly wants to make the student do things they don't want to do.

You can't expect the police to shoot their own. Capitol security are the ones that opened the gates to let people in. Biden said it best, if the majority of these people were black there wouldn't any talk of pardons or calling it a peaceful protest.

There are studies about it.

Even Y Combinator has some history of admitting that they seek people like that:

I particularly meant tech companies. Of course, you can find unethical businesses everywhere.
77 days is quite a while (and assume a few more for final transport home), but I get 5 weeks of leave a year and can rollover 6 weeks from year to year, which, with weekends, would get me 79 days. This is not even a stellar job. Of course, being away from my wife (no kids yet) for 77 days might be a hard sell, and when we do have kids that'll be off the table for a while.

Then you schedule the event to coincide with holidays. In the US, we have (depending on your employer) 3 federal holidays from May through July (Memorial, Juneteenth, 4th of July). 4 for September through November but it doesn't line up well enough to get all 4 starting with 11 weeks off (Labor Day, Columbus, Veteran's, Thanksgiving). If you're willing to travel to get a better climate for an event, you have November-January which gives you Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, and MLK.

So 3, 4, or 5 extra days on top of leave are feasible several times of the year (late spring/summer, fall, winter). That can be used to stretch your leave if you don't have enough to make it, or to give you a recovery week (or partial week).

Or, you get enough money and have no responsibilities and just quit working for 2-3 months.
My preference would be that the fed enforce the laws on the books themselves (if they have the power to do so), or pressure the province to do so (using the democratic leverage available).
I had to restart because I unwittingly clicked the mukbang guy too early: can't handle him unless he is drowned out by everything else. By contrast I enjoyed the wormhole button. Kind of the whole point of the experience, liked it way better than certain noises :)
I once worked on a student robotics project where if you didn't gracefully shut down the connection to a specialized camera, it had a significant chance of physically bricking the camera.

We were using C++ and essentially instrumented code review processes, despite being a student group, to ensure nothing was ever called in a way where the destructor wouldn't be called - and broke out vision processing into a separate process so if other processes crashed we'd still be okay. In retrospect it was amazing training for a software engineering career.

But I always look at the words "simple" and "defer" and shudder when I see them next to each other!

Just like you'd have a "threat model" for cybersecurity, make sure you understand the consequences of a defer/destructor implementation not functioning properly.

From Neil Postman's 1985 "Amusing Ourselves to Death":

> “With television, we vault ourselves into a continuous, incoherent present.”

> “Spiritual devastation is more likely to come from an enemy with a smiling face.”

It's less about whether we "enjoy" the stimulation, more about what kind of people we become when we lose ourselves in this bizarre sea of superstimuli. We're like reinforcement agents creating adversarial examples for each other, drawing ourselves further out of any sort of meaningful life, into a fever dream where the most desirable job for the next generation is to be famous for being famous [1] rather than do anything for any kind of deeper purpose.

It's not unheard of to disband and reconstitute a police department. I would argue its the right move when the organization as a whole has effectively gone rogue.

The most significant example I'm aware of is Camden New Jersey.

The city’s crime rate was among the worst in the US. Within nine square miles and among nearly 75,000 residents, there were over 170 open-air drug markets reported in 2013, county officials told CNN. Violent crime abounded. Police corruption was at the core.

Lawsuits filed against the department uncovered that officers routinely planted evidence on suspects, fabricated reports and committed perjury. After the corruption was exposed, courts overturned the convictions of 88 people, the ACLU reported in 2013.

So in 2012, officials voted to completely disband the department – it was beyond reform.

And in 2013, the Camden County Police Department officially began its tenure. No other city of Camden’s size has done anything quite like it.

It feels like the org issuing the copyright claims would be at fault for any lost revenue.

If the org hadn't issued the false claim, the channel wouldn't've had the video taken down. If a channel hits three strikes for it and is nuked in entirety, the lost revenue is even larger.
