The article had me at "European Chicken Monopoly In Control of US Egg Market." The rest is interesting, but fairly predictable in outcome. Normally competition will drive prices down when margins are good. In this case, the monopoly breaks that cycle and is like ... "Mmm, I like these margins, thanks."
You mean why do we need Greenland and Canada?

US power in Europe has been our intentional policy since the end of WW2. I can't do justice in educating you on the geopolitics of it all but there is a plethora of information out there for you. Not sure how an American can get to be an adult without understanding the background and reasoning.

We did this to the point of encouraging Germany to include limitations on their own power in their constitution (along with Japan). Anyways it's a long, thought out standing position of our country that has 70 years of thought put into it versus the recent 'but it's not fair to us' MAGA reaction based position.
I have a library subscription which comes with PressReader. I get all the magazines and periodicals and I don’t pay anything. It’s my right as a taxpayer and I get to be an informed citizen.
> He is the gremlin on the wing of the plane

This is the scene I keep coming back to! Can you imagine having actually gotten into a space ship bound for Mars with this guy [0] ? He'd be whining that the trip was taking too long, complaining that the ship must be too heavy, and trying to drill speed holes in the hull.

[0] (as we envisioned back when we thought this guy might actually put his own skin in the game like that, before his tragic spiral into social media and ketamine addictions)
You need to attach a video of you saying thank you multiple times and also wearing a nice expensive suit, if no suit then is invalid.
> as long as it hurts the other half of the US population more.

if it was only half of the US population they want to hurt, it's also the rest of world, even the environment.
Interesting, I tried using DuckDuckGo for a while, didn’t find it competitive with Google
That was always touted as a reason, yes. I am sure it is partly true, within certain bounds.
Well I hope you are right. All of those things were already either done or tried by Trump during his last term. The trajectory is leading towards further escalation.

The protests will escalate in the summer, when the weather is warmer, more time has passed for awareness of what is happening to soak in, and students are on school break.
I think the best candidate to replace Starlink is Eutelsat OneWeb.
There is currently no drone that can replace everything the F-35 does. There might be one in the future, and it will likely be the most expensive aircraft ever made (see the two NGAD programs' unmanned components)
I know a lot of people who can tweak code that already exists. However, if they are sitting in front of an empty text editor and given a goal, they don’t know how to break the problem down and build a solution with the tools the language gives them.

In a large environment, someone may rarely need to start from nothing, so the interview format throws them.

That said, I think being able to break down a problem to solve it with code is a really important skill. Without it, the person will always have to lean on others to fill that skill gap.
Not passing any judgements on any life choices here, but occasional months off sounds like a good thing. I would not necessarily need to go anywhere to enjoy (make use of) the time. The notion of getting a month off with pay sounds good.
Because RISC V results would be something the Europeans could produce?

We are reliant on the US as only 2 companies can make the x86/64 chips. I don't think Europe would be completely against working with a US or Chinese company like Hi Five/Star Five, as long as we weren't dependent on them, and could pull ties if they abused their position of control.
It's well-accepted that Stalin's various purges and famines killed several times more civilians than Hitler managed to, for instance.

Here in the US, I'm personally more concerned about a replay of Pol Pot's regime. He took Hitler's warped notions of anti-intellectualism ("Jewish physics") to a whole new level ("Kill anybody wearing glasses.")

The fact that he did so under the standard of leftism doesn't really seem that meaningful or relevant, because if/when it happens here, it will evidently be perpetrated by the extreme right. A pox on both their houses.
Don't chide people for failing to read your mind. If you wanted people to take that away, you should've said that. Using a specific example as a metonym for a larger phenomenon is a poor choice in terms of clarity. Of course people responded to the specific example.
gccrs (and gcc-codegen which is a project with the same objective but only implementing the backend) is an independent project to Rust4Linux (but they talk to each other).
ARM in stock listed in New York, it cant avoid US assertions
What does Rust have to do with it? You can write MIT or GPL licensed code in any language.
> I'm not sure everyone in a country "knowing" to drive on the same side of the road is an example of a Schelling point -- drivers are trained to do this.

The driving side is usually also the walking side. When I travel to a country with another orientation, I bump into people on the sidewalk or corridors a few times before adjusting. Same on the way back, all without driving a car myself.
p.s. It also explains why at my local Pacific Northwest family owned market, there were plenty of $4.99 and $6.99 free range eggs per dozen for sale -- I believe this small chain prefers local suppliers.
I think the solution for this would be for companies to proactively raise wages in order to keep up with the market.
Don’t they do that already?
Hello google translate, how is it going in the google translate land?
> Excess B12 is really bad. Neuropathy.

How much really is dangerously excess? How do methylcobalamin vs cyanocobalamin compare in this regard? I noticed B12 supplements usually exceed the RDA by some orders of magnitude.

> Increasingly hard to get Mg tablets without Vitamin B

Same problem with iron supplements. Not particularly easy to find iron without folic acid. Folic acid can be very harmful for people with methylation problems (an extremely widespread genetic thing) who should supplement methylfolate instead. Whoever feels stimulated and harder to sleep after taking a folic acid pill - beware.
Given how simple it is to use cargo, and avoiding the per distro dependency problem being one of the reasons people like rust, what are the chances people actually bother doing that? Especially given most dependencies are statically linked
The main victim of this order is the US defense industry.

What Ukrainians need most are the low-cost drones made of commercial parts from Asia which have made it hard for the Russians to fire artillery and supply the front. To produce these drones, they need cash. The Europeans have mastered the art of sending cash to Ukrainian vendors that serve actual battlefront needs, and doing so under strict supervision to prevent fraud. Europe can fill the gap the Us is leaving in military aid if they spend their cash right.

For the last two years, I have supported a US non-profit sending non-lethal aid to Ukraine, my CB if it used for drone defense and EW.

Cheap is a technological frontier. If you operate on that frontier, you are able to trade less expensive pieces for more expensive pieces, pawns for queens. This is the cost-exchange ratio. All other things being equal, the country that best lowers the cost basis of its materiel will win a war of attrition; ie the other side exhausts its resources first.
The US does not operate on the frontier of cheap because of bad incentives, namely cost-plus procurement.
Standard practice in many companies.

I've never understood the appeal of returning to a place you left. The one time I did, I quickly rediscovered why I left the first time. I was gone again a year later.
People don't chose the abilities or disabilities they're born with, nor those they receive at the hands of others.

A couple weeks ago Google announced more layoffs in their HR and cloud divisions. They have $100 billion cash on hand, literally more than any other tech company, and much more in longer term investments.

In round numbers, that's enough money to cover roughly 10,000 employees for 25 to 50 years (depending on how much you think the salary averages out to).

Regardless, the CFO said one of her priorities this year was more cost cutting.
I'm not native English speaker but I think that the current and near situation in local Carrefour would be influenced by “abandoned” rather than “abandoning”.
I'm sorry, but when you argue that Ukraine losing some territory is bad enough to call for the extinction of the human race, I can't help but think you're not sane enough to be taken seriously.

Frame of reference. Kelvin immediately tells you the distance from absolute zero, which is at least somewhat relevant in this context. Celsius tells you the distance from liquid water which isn't very helpful in understanding the figure.

I think fewer people know the offset between K and C than the fact that 0K represents absolute zero.
Probing the Design Space: Parallel Versions for Exploratory Programming
> Zelenski indicated that he was willing to sign a deal if there are security guarantees. He was then presented a "deal" with no such guarantees in it. Your statements are simply false.

Did you even read your own link?

>> Ukraine has agreed on the terms of a minerals deal with the United States and could sign it as early as Friday on a trip to Washington by President Volodymyr Zelensky, a senior Ukrainian official said.

And then later on:

>> The source said the draft of the deal includes a reference to "security", but does not explicitly set out the United States's role.

He agreed to the deal without any explicit guarantees. Told them he'd sign in in the USA. Then after he got here, he demanded additional things that were not part of the already agreed upon deal.
Interesting.

per this article, Amazon 401k has a cliff vesting on matched funds at 3 years of employment. After reading around, it seems like 3 years is the legal maximum for 401k cliff vesting, with 6 years permitted for incremental vesting.

Economics aren't the only factor, so the rural areas may not care so long as they are free. That also assumes the rural areas keep the same service levels and regulations. It's possible they could create conditions to lure some industries to them. They would also have to raise food prices to deal without subsidies. It's likely many services would see reductions, such as road maintenance, anything heavily relying on grants, and possibly schools. Certainly the colleges in the article would be closed.

Decreasing the ratio of constituents to representatives won't really work. It may work at the margins, but you will still have the mismatch in proportions between urban/rural.
Who cares if it’s ugly. Your priorities are mind boggling. You doubling down on that argument is comical.
This article is funny

> "I'm going to state the obvious, that Rust is very good for security, for parallelism, for performance".

> The idea to replace GNU coreutils with Rust versions was not about security, though, because the GNU versions were already quite secure. "They did an amazing job. They almost don't have any security issues in their code base." And it's not about the licensing, he said. "I'm not interested in that debate."

> One of the reasons that Ledru liked Rust for this project, he said, is that it's very portable. He is "almost certain" that code he writes in Rust is going to work well on everything from Android to Windows.

> Ledru cited laziness as another reason for using Rust. "So if there is a crate or library doing that work, I'm going to use it. I'm not going to implement it [myself]." There are between 200 and 300 dependencies in the uutils project. He said that he understood there is always a supply-chain-attack risk, "but that's a risk we are willing to take". There is more and more tooling around to help mitigate the risk, he said.

People who keep promote this fraud are fraudsters too
>My source is the original article

>The Canadian Automobile Dealers Association has urged Transport Canada to investigate, citing potential misuse of the rebate system. Attempts to reach Tesla for comment have gone unanswered.

Your source and the primary source provides no proof of the supposed fraud, it simply lists quotes from pissed off competitors that didn't sell as many vehicles as Tesla, and therefore were not able to collecte the rebate.

>A simple search yields https://tc.canada.ca/en/road-transportation/innovative-techn... for citations of program overview.

>- "Individuals are eligible for one incentive"

>- "Organizations and businesses are eligible for up to 10 incentives. Organizations and businesses that share common ownership, other than common ownership as a result of being a publicly traded company, are considered as one single organization eligible for a combined total of 10"

Yes, individuals and companies qualify and the instant point of sale rebate is applied to the sale price after taxes and fees. The dealerships are not entitled the rebate on a per car sold basis, only the individuals are.

>The story is that Tesla sold as many cars, at four dealers in three days, almost as many as they sold in Canada in all of Q1 2024 at a time when their Canadian sales are trending down.

Tesla does not sell cars at dealerships. All online orders in huge areas 150 kilometers wide get tagged to these show rooms even though you cannot purchase there.

>There are 1440 minutes in a day, they sold 8600 cars. Assuming a 12 hour dealer workday at 4 dealers. Articles say 2 cars a minute, I get one car per minute. It still they correctly process the incentives at point of sale or delivery? The investigating will find out.

Four dealers doing online sales for large swaths of provinces. These "dealerships" do not have sales staff nor do they actually deliver vehicles many of the times, even though they're double as the "dealership of delivery."

>The fraud also might be if anyone bought their own vehicles to sell later, or are otherwise violate the 10 rebates per organization limit and attempted to hide this.

This wouldn't be Tesla committing the fraud then.
This links to the original article from 5 months ago but on the good news side, many suppliers now have stocks of the RP2350 chips, which should be good for RiscV. Be interesting to know if any changes were made to the silicon in those 5 months, maybe I will google around a bit later.
"PHP should be dead"

Says who ? PHP works. Has a great ecosystem. A hell of a lot more stable than JavaScript ecosystem and package management. Tons of investment in frameworks like Symfony and Laravel. Great out of the box Hosting options. It just works. Upload index.php and boom. Then you have the beast: WordPress.

Don't get me wrong. I like other languages too (except JavaScript). There is a place for every language and PHP is no different.

I honestly think that PHP haters are just jealous because its supposed to die (in their own minds) but they are not able to accept that it is everywhere.
This blog post is wrong, it also just doesn't matter in practice. Nobody who is making this sort of decision is going to give this kind of obviously false argument a second thought. When you're the one that actually has to make decisions that matter you're going to be better at ignoring bullshit. The audience for this is just people wanting something to upvote that sounds good to them - driven by motivated reasoning.

> “You could blame the workforce,” he says, “or the managers and leaders who are leading that workforce.”

They often do fire large swaths of middle managers - when Musk bought Twitter cutting out the middle of the hierarchy and the orgs that didn't need to exist was a big part of it. It's the same with DOGE. After the twitter layoffs they've shipped more features, faster, with better margins (and he fired the CEO). Meta and Coinbase over hired during the covid 'zero interest rate phenomena' and had to fix it. Reducing hours instead is a joke - I find it hard to believe anyone being honest takes that seriously.
You can take a few years off with one year of FANG comp but if denial feels good I am not going to ruin the moment.
> Why do you say unblinded?

It’s unblinded because the subject is preparing the concoction under study. There is no way they can create a blind experiment if they’re the ones preparing the control. The placebo effect is nothing if not pernicious and cunning, able to exploit even the most subtle psychological signal - like minuscule differences in the amount of powder in a capsule.

Blinded studies have independent doctors prepare and dispense the candidate drug so they know whether its the real thing or a placebo, but their patients dont. In double blinded studies, neither the doctor nor the patient have any idea about what they’re getting because a third party prepares the drugs.
3rd wolrdism also exists in Europe. I'm pretty sure it's far more popular.

The reason why they feel overrepresented in the US is simply because a real, progressive leftist political project is essentially impossible, so the most extreme of the extremes are proportional more audible.
Any hardware company which would want to block 3rd party firmware from loading or executing on their systems. They can add a small handshake code to every binary on that system to authenticate via TPM or the processor's embedded secure element on start.

They don't need to make extensive changes. Pull the latest, patch, compile, burn to FW. TaDa!

IOW, TiVoization 2.0. GPL2 makes it very hard already, but GPL3 makes it impossible.

With permissive licenses, it's very possible.

Used to be "buy cheap, buy twice", now it's "buy American, buy twice".

One step could be to replace what Israel replaced, for more independance. Wouldn't buy their solution though, they sell bad pagers.

Trump has the soccer world cup in USA soon. Spectators could make it hell, boo the USA anthem at every game. I think they will.
I would pay tons of money for control of the algorithms. It’s annoying I can’t tell YouTube, twitter, etc. what type of content I want to see, what I do not, the frequency, etc.

The complete lack of control by users of their feed makes Feed Providers publishers imo. Give me control or take responsibility for the content.
Isn't the supplier of lithography machines for TSMC Dutch?

While that's not the entire process, and it would be a 20 year endeavour, it seems like funding the development of local capability here would be eminently doable.

Europe is also the current heavy hitter for fundamental physics research, so attracting talent and maintaining an ecosystem should be much more achievable.
"enuf"

I don't think this is incorrect but it's definitely a grey area to spell it this way. It would be ironic to be downvoted for pointing it out based on the intent of the article.
Having ripgrep installed by default doesn't preclude grep also being installed.
Even without noticing the pattern (the names are nth derviatives of a vector displacement with respect to time), "speed" makes no sense to include in a sequence that already includes "velocity".

I mean it's not like I told them they were agreeing with communist propaganda at any point during the conversation so from everyone's perspective in the moment everything was going fine. The typical workflow was something along the lines of them bitching about liberals which is fine by me until they misapplied the term leftist or similar at which point I'd normally inject a non-sequitur about how bankers and execs are piling up cash with a forklift while the folks that actually work for a living can't hardly get by. This never gets any pushback and provides the perfect opening to quote your choice of communist propaganda, which also doesn't get any pushback as long as you aren't goofy enough to attribute your sources. ;)

My favorite example is probably getting my wife's uncle to agree that the proletariat has nothing to lose but it's chains mid-rant about how right-wing militia groups are the only folks in the country with a finger on the pulse and how they were absolutely going to overthrow the federal government with a selection of canned goods and small arms...
Wtf is that background

Oh look one of you. Hitler didn't get the chance to execute Generalplan Ost.
And the astroturfing and bots. So much in the bigger subs.
That’s what should be expected. A company in a stronger position can more confidently avoid laying off people and “ride out” the painful market conditions. Not every company’s revenue is composed of similar risk items even within similar industries. Some companies are already knee deep in some new strategy and need everyone on board to roll it out. The other company is just a bunch of variable labor that can be culled when volume shrinks. It also means they’re not investing in the future and going to get beat by a more strategic competitor. So many other riffs to take on this, but short term minded financials are absolutely improved by layoffs and that’s usually all the action is trying to effect.
Wrong erd! https://github.com/solidiquis/erdtree

This looks really cool, though. I might try using this as an `ls` replacement, too, just because of how it shows the recursive directory size like `du`. I've always wished windows explorer did that (do any linux gui file managers?)
No, just cutting people across the company tends to be bad.

Restructuring aka cutting programs and the people working on them has fewer downsides.
You and I had a very similar experience, and walked away with opposite conclusions. I find that pretty funny!
Comparing 90s Russia to 2025 Russia is naive at best. Not even Clinton at his Bill-Clintonest would think of normalizing with Putin's Russia in 2025 had his presidency time-travelled to today.

This is before we look at the cost of "normalizing" relations with Russia, if we assume that's what Trump is doing. Turning back to allies, ripping up treaties and trade deals, threatening annexation, knee-capping your own Military-industrial complex, the list goes on. That's nothing like liberals in the 90s.
Fair. I suppose it comes down to what "supported" means. AFAICT there's no official CI testing for any platform; the closest thing seems to be a mailing list where people will sometimes test new releases. It would be interesting to see what would happen if someone found and reported a bug for something obscure.
I'm very impressed and fascinated by the Chinese society and their progress. I love the country and it's rich history. But is it a democracy? No not according to my idea of what that word means.

It's a great country nonetheless, people are free in China, they have their own system and it works for them, good! Why pretend it's a democracy?
