As you note it's not built into other legal systems. In which case, those other legal systems aren't automatically corrupt or based on extortion.

A legal system is designed to advance a purpose: justice, the protection of citizens, etc.

Assumptions of guilt or innocence aren't immutable laws of the universe. They likely simply reflect prejudices held at the time of creation, or inherited from even older systems, like Roman justice.

This story doesn't hint at corruption or extortion: a plausibly innocent man was swept into a forfeiture system that didn't work as it should.

It’s difficult to maintain basic features in a popular calendar, at least according to the ms exchange team blog:

> calendaring is particularly tricky. Why’s that? Well, consider time zones for a start – a meeting you set up isn’t necessarily in the same time as it is for me, and then you also invited people, from a whole bunch of other time zones (did you know some time zones are 30 mins off, not a full hour?) (…)

Thank you! This is exactly the information the OP seems to have missed. It seems to confirm my suspicion that the author’s concerns about server-side privacy are unfounded — I think:

I think the author is simply wrong is their assumption. I'm pro-homeschooling, more or less fit the described profile and I don't see a slightest problem with my kid interacting with average people nor do I have contempt for them. The problem I see though is with putting the child into a non-voluntary community. Those tend to be toxic and prison-like.

Also, the school education is not crap because it's done by average or designed for the average. It's crap because it objectively can't adapt to an individual kid's pace. There's just no way around teaching kids in huge groups that doesn't involve everyone working as a teacher. Maybe AI will help here.

I have a degree in theoretical physics, and also did research on general relativity.

The result is cool, but it's not directly applicable to the traditional (sci-fi) scenario "I travel to the past and meet myself / my parents / my ancestors"

The reason is simple: the authors suppose a CLOSED timelike curve, i.e. something like a circle, where you travel back in time and BECOME your younger self - which by the way only exists because you traveled back in time in the first place.

A slightly different scenario would be much more interesting, but my guess is that it's much harder to analyze:

a NEARLY closed timelike curve, which arrives from the past, coils around itself one or more times - like a coil, indeed - allowing causal interaction between the different spires (i.e. one can interact with its future self/selves and with its past self/selves), and finally the last spire leaves toward the future.
> This doesn't always work because the computed value should be an even integer; if it's not, ffmpeg will raise an error and tell you why; then you can replace the -1 with the nearest even integer (I wonder why it can't do that by itself, but apparently, it can't).

It's not about integer, but some of the sizes need to be even. You can use `-vf scale=320:-2` to ensure that.

It’s one of the only tools where I reach for a GUI equivalent (Handbrake) by default, unless I’m doing batch processing. There are a few pure ffmpeg GUIs out there as well. There’s just something about working with video that CLI doesn’t work right with my brain for.

Also, there might be plenty of cheap used balance bikes out there. We bought ours for 10-20 bucks, our 2.5 year old used it until she got promoted to real bike with 3.5 or so and had zero issues.

Compare that to me as a kid, where would I had the training wheels nonsense, and it took me waaaay longer to learn how to ride a bike.

I'm slightly surprised this is such a revelation in this thread, around these parts (Berlin, Germany), balance bikes are extremely common and training wheels are seen as a maladaptive thing from yesteryear.

Whether something is worthwhile or not is usually up for debate - not all projects are equally worthwhile. Having more "worthwhile" projects than engineering resources gives engineers a choice of work. That too is a good signal for whether or not something is worthwhile, because then you get motivated people to work on those things, rather than people doing things because they have nothing better available to them. Idk about others, but I feel trapped when I don't have a good degree of autonomy/choice. And when I feel trapped, I leave.
The author paints a picture of schools as literal prison, as a place where children are forced to go to waste their time and be tortured. They invite the reader to conclude that the entire exercise is worthless and should be abandoned -

"Education? You probably mean repeating exercises in rote? You likely mean memorisation? That’s not education."

"I find it hard to think of school as anything more than forced internment for children while their parents go to work, with exercises designed to keep you busy more than to give a functional understanding. "

> why on earth should a conclusion about school _not_ be drawn?

It depends on the conclusion. If the conclusion is "school as a concept is so irredeemably bad that we should scrap schools entirely because of my experiences", I'm not sure it's supportable because of the lack of universality.

If the conclusion is "some schools have been run so poorly that students are left with lifelong emotional scars and little education to show for it, we need to do something about that", I'm all onboard.
Oh oh hold your horses. That is TAX, above TAX in Germany you will have to pay "social loads" for health, pension fonds, church, etc... You get to keep much less than that!

Even when in UK is the same, you still have to pay the TV-tax, VAT 19%, fuel prices are high because of gigantic taxes, all of those do not exist in USA.

Also in Germany public health is getting more expensive (there was an increase of 1% this year) and worse (although still good). Also education is getting more expensive slowly.

Depends on the chip. A typical consumer processor is 100-200 mm². Wafers are about 1mm thick (actually a bit less, but close enough) and silicon has a density of 2300kg/m³. So it's 2.3mg/mm² of wafer area. The chip is then 0.23-0.46g. if it's high end and worth $1000, then the wafers are $2-4000 per gram. Probably the low end of that since the fancier chips are usually the physically bigger ones.

However, low-end processors will be worth radically less ($100 CPUs aren't 10x smaller) and things like top-end FPGAs will be worth substantially more. An Agilex 7 can be $40,000 and if it's got less then 4 grams (around 1700mm², or 41mm*41mm), the wafer is worth over $10k/gram. The entire chip is 56x56, and from the package drawing, the die appears to be around 30x30, so it exceeds the threshold.

This is assuming all the value of the retail price is the main wafer, which is also not true.

Thousands per gram, certainly seems possible, though I doubt it's even that on average across all chips, and considering that there is non-wafer content in the price. Tens of thousands is probably pushing it. However, it's certainly likely to be rather more than gold in terms of specific value ($100/g, ish). Harder to fence, though.
40's, male, had a horrible experience at state secondary school in semi-rural Scotland. I now have young kids in primary, and I can see how shit the education aspect in particular is - my kids constantly complain about how boring it is, and one finds everything ridiculously easy. For example, he's been doing addition and subtraction up to ten at school for 3 years!?
I think there's not much inherently wrong with algorithmic curation; the problem is more that the algorithms that make up your average social media feed aren't set up to favor the most enjoyable experience for the user, but as you say, for the platform. It's to appeal to advertisers and to keep you engaged first, showing you interesting posts is fairly low on the list of goals[0].

Another problem is how opaque they tend to be; people have a mental model of how a feed should look like (not gonna describe the entirety of it, but a basic example would be "only the people I follow"), and most of the pushback tends to come from when an algorithm decides to break that mental model. (Such as for example showing you a random person you don't follow because the algorithm thinks you might like them, since someone you actually followed has engaged with their posts, to piggyback from the previous example.)

I think a really basic "no more than the X highest engagement posts from each followed user from the past 24 hours" option could do a lot as a basic heuristic to prevent people who no-life their social media from taking over the feed of someone who also wants to see what other people they follow are posting. (X can be any number but should probably go down the more people you follow.)

For a global feed, you don't need an algorithm, mostly because no amount of algorithmic curation can fix what's essentially looking into a firehose of posts - you'll probably find something you either like or conclude that it's not worth looking at to begin with.

[0]: Because anger and outrage is way easier for people to spread organically, algorithmic social media tends to overfocus on spreading it even more as that's what drives up engagement the best and that's what advertisers want. The fact that this creates a paradox where ads (that want lots of engagement) often risk ending up next to really heinous shit on those social media (what actually gets engagement) is an interesting side effect.

> They’re being pushed until these administrative roles because Directors have no idea how to leverage their talent and default to putting them into EM-like roles

I think the explanation is simpler, I suspect it's just many people have a desire to be in a different role or multiple roles. Also, successful generalists tend to think everyone should be a generalist. That's why they muddle the role descriptions in their heads.

I'm a NixOS user and contributor.

This post is fair.

Nix is very flexible, and it hasn't yet stabilised on a firm set of recommendations for a happy path.

Going on a whim:

* Use nixos-unstable. It's defacto stable, and gets much more attention than nixos-stable.

* Use flakes.

* Don't use multiple versions of nixpkgs. In the rare case a package is failing to build, then raise an issue, or wait, or rollback.

* On NixOS, don't use user profiles. They won't interop in the way OP hopes.

* Only use nixpkgs. If you absolutely must use another flake, only use popular ones from https://github.com/nix-community.

But until the community give opinionated suggestions, users will stray towards bad practices.

Android does this too. I don't really want all my photos indexed like that, I just want a linear timeline of photos, but I cant turn off their "memories" thing or all the analysis they do to them
I don't care because I honestly believe that caring in a world of stupid cunts is not worth the limited time I have on this Earth, which I'd rather spend doing things that make me happy, instead of being perpetually frustrated and disappointed. There are some people who keep pushing out good value despite the frustration and I think they're the real heroes, but I'm not a hero myself. BTW the society is constructed in such a way that I won't have kids so all of you can go fuck yourself once I die.
Some counties in England still have state grammar schools and still follow the 11+ process.

What I would believe, I don't know if true, is that different applications support subtly different feature sets, integration has varying levels of support and correctness and so on. Additionally, I feel like vendors are incentivized to offer good support within their ecosystem, but integration with the outside world is a second-class citizen.

Can't wait to see the factory in Germany also starting to pump out chips.
I liked how this project used "reverse mount LEDs" [1] which are perhaps not known to everyone.

It means that instead of being mounted to a PCB and having the light shine "up" from the board, it instead shines down between the solder points, and you arrange for the PCB to have a hole there. It means all the components are on one side, but the light is emitted on the back which can be clean and/or have cool silkscreens etc. Nice!

German TSMC fab will produce 16nm there, not 4nm though. Useful for the auto industry but much lower margin and less strategically important than 4nm fab in the US.
I agree with this and that's why I think social media, mass media and so on exist.

However I'm curious as to why you attribute or limit this to 'conservatives' only. Is this really something exclusive or characteristic of the conservative side? At least where I am from it's the left that's more interventionist in regards to education rather than the right, that interventionism being used to make education more rigid and controlled by a biased government.

And the media is definitely not consolidated, you've got clearly two sides competing at a pretty equal level.

Forfeiture is different from seizure. Seizure is perfectly legal, and even ought to be required pending completion of a court case.

Forfeiture is the end means of seizure.. usually. Forfeiture does not require a court case. Forfeiture can, in some circumstances, be determined without a court case. Most often and fairly universally means when no one offers a claim on seized property.

I have read on this a many times myself and have conflict with it. I started off with naturally believing it is violation of 5th + 14th amendments. I only hold now that it is likely a violation of the 14th, but its quite complicated.

Seizure in this sense ought to be illegal given no due process. However, SC has opinions that property itself can be ruled against. Further, has ruled in many instances that innocent owner defense is not sufficient, thus innocent owner must prove that the entrusted party acted out of consent/contract.

I recommend reading 983 article guidelines for asset forfeiture/seizure: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/983

It is not simple, at all. Most guidelines really are in favor returning property. IMO, timelines could be adjusted so they are a bit harsher on government considering speedy trials are not so speedy anymore.

I'm not a lawyer of course

On a somewhat related note, the reason why Peugeot cars have a "0" in their model numbers (e.g. 208, 308, 408, etc.) goes back to the days before electric ignition, and when you still needed a crank to start the engine. The model number was in the middle of the grill, and the crank would go into the "0".

Very often I find myself wanting to store item(s) using a key.

My items are not relations, and I don't see the point in transforming them to and from relational form. And if I did, each row would have like 5 columns set to NULL, in addition to a catch-all string 'data' column where I put the actual stuff I really need. Which is how you slow down an SQL database. So RDBMS is no good for me, and I'm no good for RDBMS.

RDBMS offers strong single-node consistency guarantees (which people leave off by default by using an isolation level of 'almost'!). But even without microservices, there are too many nodes: the DB, the backend, external partner integrations, the frontend, the customer's brain. You can't do if-this-then-that from the frontend, since 'this' will no longer be true when 'that' happens. So even if I happen to have a fully-ACID DB, I still lean into events & eventual consistency to manage state across the various nodes.

Given that I'm using more data than a naive CRUD/SQL app would (by storing events for state replication) and my data is stringy enough to kill my (and others') performance. So what's the solution? Make my read-writes completely independent from other read-writes - no joins, no foreign keys, etc.

The thing that would put me off using DynamoDB is the same reason I wouldn't use any other tech - can I download it? For this reason I'd probably reach for Cassandra first. That said I haven't looked at the landscape in a while and there might be much better tools.

But it also wouldn't matter what I want to use instead of DynamoDB, because the DevOps team of wherever I work will just choose whatever's native&managed by their chosen cloud provider.
I think it's more like: "Quantum mechanics is consistent with what we expect to happen with matter that exists in a closed timelike curve: everything is reset upon return to the starting spacetime point."
