This is a good point. No matter the intent, we must also focus on the real world outcomes of said policy.

The Citizens United ruling didn’t just clarify the FEC’s authority, it fundamentally reshaped the landscape of American politics by allowing unlimited corporate and union spending on elections, which critics argue disproportionately amplifies the influence of wealth. While the Court didn’t explicitly equate money with speech, its decision enabled the flow of money into the political system in a way that is effectively treated as free speech under the First Amendment. Far from "restoring the status quo," Citizens United created a system where the wealthy can now spend unlimited amounts of money to sway elections, a shift that has drastically altered democratic representation.
LibreOffice does everything I need personally, and is far more powerful and useful than Google's or Microsoft's web suite.

Ads on websites are now unusably intrusive – what happened and how do we fix it?
Was on a computer without adblock and loaded a page on sfgate - https://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/daredevil-endless-skydive-over-grand-canyon-20147327.php

there's a banner ad up top, and a banner ad on the side. ok.

then a video ad starts autoplaying when you scroll, and if you scroll past it it shifts to your bottom right corner

you then hit a series of sponsored ads on the right hand column that are disguised to look like original content

then you hit another ad in between the main article

then you get to the video itself, hit play, and a youtube ad starts playing

What happened, internet? And more importantly (I understand enshittification, market forces, Google ad monster, etc), how do we get out of this? I don't understand how people can use the web without ad blockers
Indeed, you can facilitate talking politics without having a set opinion.

It's a fine line, but it is something the BBC managed to do for a very long time. The BBC does not itself present an opinion on Politics yet facilitates political discussion through shows like Newsnight and The Daily Politics (rip).

I rarely eat eggs so haven't been paying attention to it

I pretty much eat the same thing everyday: packaged peanuts (spicy ones), microwave single piece of batch baked chicken, frozen vegetables, brown rice, throw some terriyaki and soy suace on it boom, lazy meal. The peanuts are $0.69 each

Canadian and Mexican egg prices haven’t budged because they vaccinate their chickens [1].

I’m not a fan of factory farming. But this isn’t a story about that. It’s a story about American (a) producers favouring cheap production by avoiding the cost of vaccination and (b) regulators favouring a policy of trade protectionism that keeps our neighbours’ cheap eggs off our grocery-store shelves.

People, though, tend to spiral down into the bikeshedding abyss. It’s one thing to stand your ground about a linting rule that has proven effective in combatting certain classes of errors that you encountered in the field. It’s another thing to make every discussion be about linting rules.

I cannot put it into words right, but you can see there’s usually a vibe. It will be different coming from an experienced developer knowing what they are talking about from lived experience, and from a clueless one who has seen shit but is hell bent on process and rules.
You're right it's definitely a matter of degree. And I would have to say early 2000 when Clinton signed the trade agreement with them. That is when our manufacturing capacity started moving to China and with that our security. It's of course way more complex than that but..
If we wanted to be strategic about food security (and deem supply management to be the way to do it), we’d supply manage primary food energy like beans and oats. Oh, and crop inputs like fertilizer.

Meat/eggs/dairy mostly destroys food energy. I guess you could argue the set pricing ensures food security for the animal.
It's very similar to mine. For instance, for invoices/bills, I do “YYYY-MM-DD $123.45 some-description.ext”—it makes it easy to know what this is and the associated value without even opening the file anymore.

About 8+ years ago, I did this for a team, and that team followed all expense reporting and filenames (or some variations) to what I set with mine.
I was suggesting it was simultaneous, actually, and the worry these consumers are describing about not really knowing what he's up to is just revving it all up.

I worked with a younger guy on a pre-existing, large project written in C. He saw me use the man command and asked why I would do that - was I expecting to be offline?

They're also specific to the software versions on the system I'm logged into, unlike whatever comes up when I Google `man 2 unshare`.
Sorry I’m not sure I follow your point. I’m saying that given the current situation with bird flu, the local eggs are often less expensive at my grocery store.

I’m not saying that they are less expensive to produce or that they will remain less expensive at the store during normal times. However, paying the extra costs during normal times means those farms stay in business, which means I can still get eggs for the same price right now as I can in normal times.
The apt command also merges functionality from apt-get and apt-cache.

With apt you don't have to use two separate tools to search for packages to install them. That's probably at least a moderate usability improvement for many people since you don't have to figure out whether you need to use apt-get or apt-cache for some particular command.
Pricing is CRAZY.

Audio input is $0.70 per million tokens on 2.0 Flash, $0.075 for 2.0 Flash-Lite and 1.5 Flash.

The “Hollywood accounting” meme makes no sense. Anyone in the media production business can take 5 min to read the Wikipedia article on it (or use common sense) and learn that they should not accept compensation on terms completely controlled by the opposing party.

If they do, then they had no negotiating power in the first place, and so had nothing to lose by accepting those terms (because they were not going to get a better offer such as more cash upfront).

I’d wager prescription drug price inflation outpaced food. We know gas prices went down.

Finding out an adult is preoccupied about egg prices means finding out they’re extremely susceptible to propaganda, and not very close to household finances.
> built in an attempt to maximize profit or resiliency

I think framing it as an either/or is a bit of a mental trap. They are sometimes in opposition, sometimes not.

For example, those farms which were not resilient are not maximizing their profits, since they've had more than a year of warning of avian flu. They were operating to minimize work and costs, not maximize profit, and they are losing out on a ton of it right now.

Those operations which built with resilience, or got lucky, are swimming in profits right now.

I guess I don't see why local farmers _wouldn't_ raise their prices to maintain their premium above store-bought eggs. They certainly have around here.

> Even at $700k/yr income

Then don’t live in the Bay Area? I make less than a 3rd of that and live in a nice condo with multiple bars in walking distance - including one downstairs, restaurant downstairs, multiple pools, two gyms. Max out my 401K and HSA and we have over a dozen trips planned this year including a few to see family. But most just to check things off of our bucket list. We are flying out to Las Vegas next week just for concert.

I didn’t make over 200K until 2021 at 47 and I have had two nice houses built over the years, we just bought our condo three years ago.

There is an entire United States outside of the Bay Area and there is a such thing as remote work.

The median home price in the US is $410K.

I had my second home built in north metro Atlanta in the “good school system” in 2016 - 5 bed/3.5 bath/3100 square feet for $335K and sold it last year for $670K.

Funny enough, in 2020, an Amazon Recruiter reached out to me about as an SDE job that would have required me to relocate after COVID. Even with the $100k more than I was making I could have negotiated, I couldn’t have reproduced my lifestyle in Seattle.

I did keep talking to the recruiter and they suggested I apply for a “permanently remote”[1]/“field by design” role at AWS Professional Services based on my background. It only paid $55K more. But allowed me to work remotely and a year later, we moved to state tax free Florida saving more money.

[1] As of this year, even the “field by design” roles have an RTO mandate when they aren’t on a customer’s site. Luckily I left in late 2023.

> I also means that if I lose my work, we're completely fucked and I better find another job very fast. That $20k/month you gotta pay for the home ain't gonna disappear on its own.

You’re really thinking that statistically the chance of you finding a spouse who has an income that can support your budget if you are out of a job is likely?

Guess how little I stressed when I got Amazoned in 2023? I didn’t need to chase BigTech compensation to be comfortable.

My Plan B was a regular old Enterprise CRUD job. I’m now making around what I did at AWS working (remotely) at a third party consulting company. There are some remote jobs out there. At some point, I’ll probably try my lot as a “fractional CTO”.

BTW, when I was living in Atlanta in 2020 with the big house in the burbs in the good school system, our total budget including our mortgage was around $8000. I only put 3.5% down to have it built.

You don’t need to move to Thailand - just out of the Bay Area.
In typical Chrome fashion, they shipped an API that is in status "Specification currently under development in a Working Group"

I don't understand the need for this awkward API.

Ok, `otherParent.append(existingIframe)` reloads the iframe, but that's just a legacy behavior. Why not toggle the new behavior by calling `existingIframe.holdMyBeer()`? This way I could just continue using .prepend/.append/.before/.after et — which by the way support multiple elements at once, unlike moveBefore.

Ridiculous choice, but I'm not even surprised anymore.

Why do I think that Spiderman has just schooled me on my age.
The thing I keep looking for is dropout/failure rate. If their change in hiring procedure resulted in higher dropout/failure rate, then yes, this impacting ATC staffing but it would have been slow burn.

ATC staffing is bottlenecked by the training dropout/failure rate. 1000 people a year go in, pretty sizable dropout or fail so you are left with 500. If 700 are retiring, that's -200 overall. At some point, that -200 year over year becomes impactful.

So, if you need more people, you have two options. Increase the class size but obviously that's expensive and makes the problem slightly worse up front as you are pulling qualified people into instructor roles.

Or try to filter out those who will drop/fail in hiring process so they don't occupy class slots. One of the ways FAA had done that is CTI college courses because those graduates had lower drop/fail rate.
Caged vs cage free chickens are getting bird flu at about the same rate though, so this claim doesn’t really add up. It’s not like the caged chickens are in hermetically sealed chambers their whole lives, they’re shoulder to shoulder with some wire between them.
I didn't put any of those specific requirements out there. I've said a professional working woman. If she made $500k+/yr, that'd be very nice but I don't think that's even remotely plausible for someone of my looks. I've known several women who fit that criterion and all have expressed that I'm way below their looks threshold. Women at or above that income tend to get exactly what they want from a partner. I've yet to meet one that is lacking in great options.

Overall, I'm interested in a more balanced relationship. I want to be involved in my children's day-to-day life and be a present partner as well. I can certainly make enough on my own to afford a $3m mortgage, private school for the kids, and so forth. I've already done it but it has a great cost in terms of my time and energy. I'm not interested in a transactional relationship where I'm used for my financial resources. I don't want someone to be with me due to their reliance on me for financial support either. I've been in that situation already and it's not fun to question whether someone actually loves you or just loves your ability to spend money on them.

I'd rather be with someone who genuinely loves me for who I am and can keep up with the demands that living in the bay area requires. I come from an incredibly poor background and don't expect someone to be where I'm at but if they can't even afford to support themselves adequately with their own labor in some place like NYC or SFBA then we're going to be incompatible.
Syd Barrett and Peter Green always come to mind, as well as some local examples who wander the streets aimlessly. The appeal of psychedelics for depression –Or rather, what I thought was depression– tempted a younger me, until I observed that the people I knew who swore by it were quite strange and not exactly exemplars of good mental health.
I think both are true.

It also goes far beyond farming - it applies to many supply chains.

Many cage free chickens are also free range chickens, where they can roam outside. That massively increases their chances of picking up the bird flu, as opposed to those they are inside all day.

I'm not advocating for one or the other, just explaining. Even cage free chickens will come into close enough proximity where they will all die if just one chicken picks up the flu. It's incredibly virulent.

> when it comes time to vote you'll be voting randomly

Not at all, I think citizens have an obligation to vote, and an obligation to do their research when it's time to vote. But let's say that takes you a week. Why bother being focused on the outrage during the rest of the term? What value is there to you being mad at whatever politician on week 15 of their 208 week term? If anything, I'd say "staying informed" is a hinderance, because you'll always just be focused on the issue-of-the-day and build mental biases rather than being able to take a wider view of what the politician implemented, and how it played out over a period of time afterwards.

Whether you're influenced by facts or "propaganda" unfortunately depends entirely on your own research and critical thinking skills, and has little to do with timing.

Microsoft lost that fight so badly long ago against Sun that Internet Explorer and Windows documentation for like a decade referred to the language as "JScript" (and also tried to make VBScript a viable alternative partly to avoid even accidentally using Sun's trademark) to the bemusement of everyone. Interesting to wonder if the web would have been a little better if Microsoft had won that trademark battle at the time or if Sun had donated the trademark to ECMA so that official standards didn't have to be named EcmaScript.

Fortran does quite well on almost any major CPU since 1950's, including GPUs.

Actually one of the reasons CUDA won the hearts of researchers over OpenCL, is that Khronos never cared for Fortran, and even C++ was late to the party.

I attended one Khronos webminar where the panel was puzzled with a question from the audience regarding Fortran support roadmap.

NVidia is sponsoring the work on the LLVM Fortran frontend, so same applies.

I am a MATLAB and Python user who has flirted with julia as a replacement. I don't love the business model of JuliaHub, which feels very similar to Mathworks in that all the cool toolboxes are gated behind a 'contact sales' or high priced license. The free 20 hours of cloud usage is a non-starter. Also it seems that by default, all JuliaHub usage is default cloud-based? on-prem and airgapped (something I need) is implied to be $$$.

Open sourcing and maintaining some components of things like JuliaSim or JuliaSim Control might expand adoption of Julia for people like me. I will never be able to convince my company to pay for JuliaHub if their pricing is similar to Mathworks.
