I see this dynamic in tech all the time:

"We'd like to pay/invest in you tremendous amounts of money to make X more efficient": yes, absolutely we know what X is and we understand scaling it is immensely valuable and fundamentally changes everything.

"We'd like to regulate X, making it safer, and therefore harder or even impossible to do": that's ridiculous, you could always do X, what even is X anyway, don't tread on me, yadda yadda.

It's so transparent to me now, and I've passed this curse onto you.

Nothing else in law works this way. No definition is ironclad. This is what legislators, agencies, and courts are for. We all know this.

> It could have and should have.

From a technical perspective, yes. You are basically talking about the Nokia N800 but with a cellphone modem and a bit of effort spent shrinking the bezels down.

But from a product design perspective, I suspect it was impossible to make that leap. We are talking about the point when cellphones were at their very smallest. The 1st gen iphone with it's 3.5" display was considered to be large for a phone. Nobody thought mainstream users would be happy pocketing a phone with a "massive" 4.13" display.

And Nokia were only happy excluding the keyboard from the N800 because it was considered to be a content consumption device. At that time, smartphones were regarded as productivity devices (for email) and the physical keyboard was essential, which would have bulked out the device (See N810).

I don't think we could have gotten to today's large smartphones without first creating a viable browsing experience on an iphone sized display.

We’d love your feedback, feature suggestions, or contributions!
There was a recent discussion about body doubling on HN. One of the theories is that prior to modernity, people mostly worked together and that’s how we are wired. Doubly so for us ADHD people, who would tend to partake in hunting, war or such activities.

Like other bad ideas (TDD) it seemed to rise to prominence during the heydey of Ruby and untyped JS, when it was so much easier to fuck everything up. I think lots of managers haven't written a line of code since then and still hold such a cargo cult mentality about prescribing it.

It does a massive disservice to everybody involved, especially juniors who are never given the chance to prove themselves.

Political messaging is more than TV ads and mailers. There are rallies, online groups, town halls, organizing, basic human communication stuff.

---

The way we reign in government isn't by having no rules (the argument you're making reduces to "any rule can be weaponized against political opposition"), it's political checks to ensure weaponization doesn't happen. Or put another way, there is no system of rules that constrains a regime defined by its rule breaking.

The issue is that if you ban advertising, we still get advertising, but it'll be done in a way that hides that it is an advertisement. Aka, the internet will be full of bot posts that are thinly veiled ads posing as legitimate inquiry or discussion. That's a worse off scenario. Better the enemy you know.
I'm also very interested in this product and have been working on something similar, but I'm not sure if there's a real market for it.
My point is only that these tariffs cannot be motivated by protectionism, since they are not targeted and will also disadvantage local industry.
Rauthy: OpenID Connect Single Sign-On Identity and Access Management
If it's not a user-space, but a driver issue, I found powercfg /sleepstudy pretty helpful to determine why a W11 machine didn't enter or exited sleep too often, after the fact.

On my laptop, this led me to discover that my Qualcomm X55 WAN is a real standby drain and that my Lenovo Thunderbolt dock really likes to disable its sleep mode after some big Windows updates, leading to a standby drain after the first time I plugged it in. I'm still surprised how many pitfalls there are with standby, even on Windows.
John Birch Never Dies
It's about maintaining a feeling of control, it's not about collaboration. Thats just the lie they tell to RTO.

Ive worked in:

1) collaborative in office

2) uncollaborative in office

3) collaborative wfh

4) uncollaborative wfh

Personally i found 4 to be the most tortuous (because of ADHD), but 2 isnt much better.

1 and 3 i think are roughly equally good while you're there but wfh has so many ancillary benefits like not commuting that it wins overall.

After experiencing 4 and before I experienced 3 I actually desperately wanted to RTO.

I think a collaborative environment is only quite tangentially related to inhabiting the same space, though. It's more about culture, trust and shared goals.
> The reality is that more often than not these messages are self serving and profit driven

the reality is that all messages, even those you think ought to be a grassroots message, are all self-serving. It's just self-serving for you as well as the message deliverer. And those "advertising" messages are self-serving, but not for you (or your tribe).

Therefore, this is just a thinly disguised way to try suppress the messages of those whose self-interest does not align with your own, rather than an altruistic reason.
Thought about that years back, and went to the conclusion that you can't kill advertising and political propaganda without strict rules that every big business and their owned politicians would fiercely fight against.
Also, advertising is the way they keep barely alive an economic system almost entirely based on overproduction of unnecessary goods built to not be durable; take out advertising and you'll see millions of people bankrupt; not thousands: millions. Advertising doesn't scale anymore: from a handy tool to discreetly let people two blocks away that a new barber shop just opened, has transitioned to a weapon businesses use to fit their product between a thousand others, grabbing more and more space from every free second or square millimeter, in the hope they capture the attention of someone who doesn't give a damn about them; and it can only get worse. I'm all for killing it, but be warned that if you take it out, you take out the entire business universe built around it that depends on it to be kept afloat. It'd probably need a few decades, not even years, to become reality if someone decided to start the process in a harmless way. But would first need a very different political environment to be accepted: more power to the state, less to corporations, and probably that would conflict with ideas that some propaganda, that is, advertising, stuck in the mind of so many people several decades ago, and those are quite hard to undo.
> In Europe, apart from TGI Fridays, they were never a thing. And they were seen as just simply fast food.

The discussion and the article is US specific, but as general point 'Europe' is a big generalization akin to 'Africa' or 'Asia'.

These places are too heterogenous for blanket statements.

As a point of anecdata between around the 1960's and early 2000's in most mediterranean countries, middle class would indeed sit down for lunch in nearby restaurants for an affordable lunch. Many of these places would serves as cafes during the day and affordable bistro at lunch.

Most either ramped up prices or went bust.

It is either grab a coffee and go or white cloth restaurant prices. The middle ground business model has indeed vanished or really downgraded their offering, in most countries around the mediterranean.
> Rust, Go and others have been building WASM 0.2 support for many years, they currently have a “just works” support...

Can confirm. I was pretty stubborn and wanted to use Go to build a UI in a webview/webview using local app, but oh my, js.Value in Go is so much pain to deal with. A lot of things in the JS world don't integrate nicely with Go as a language (e.g. the difference of Go channels and JS Promises, or magical enum values _and_ URL patterns on the same properties like in the Fetch API)

Long story short, I am now around 3 months into building a WebASM bindings and components framework, and it's still a lot of work until I am on the functionality level of TSX files. [1] All those Web/DOM/Browser APIs are kinda hard to integrate into the Go world, especially if you're as stubborn as me and want to have a real typed bindings API that uses Go's native data types.

Where does specialization end?

Personally, I would like to vicariously YouTube double with a “friend” on our private jet. For about four hours, then another hour looking out the window, listening to said friend continuing to work, while I enjoy a well earned inflight (I.e. home made) cocktail before we land on a tropical island.

Someone would like to host videos like that for a living.
Interesting but the issue is that you can't just ban advertising because it has many aspects.

20% discount or tv ads are a form of advertising, easy to spot. What about sponsored content ?

It's already trickier to detect, and even then there are sponsored content where someone is paid to showcase, review or straight up lie about a product quality.

If I make a great job with a customer and I tell him, make everyone you know aware how great I am. That's also a form of advertising.

Just being myself is advertising for myself, if I'm good at something, I can take part in a talent tv show and purposely avetise my skills to tv viewer.
Thank you, that's the one. I kept looking for the option and couldn't find it, and ChatGPT confidently hallucinated an option that doesn't exist.

Would it matter if it did or didn't? The cruelty is the point for this regime and its supporters.

What's most fascinating is that many of the latter insist that they shouldn't be judged by what it does.

Is the supposed to spur other governments into action?

I could imagine it might have the reverse effect. Plenty of governments would like to see their best and brightest return home, complete with lots of money, stopping brain drain and giving their economies an influx of money and sharp minds.
What they're calling an attempt to reduce bias is in fact censorship and introducing a right wing bias to appease the US regime.
Attributes, mostly. Which have become so common that defer is very likely to be in the next C standard. [0]

if conceptual thinking is manipulating abstract concepts after having been given concrete particulars, I'd say it relies heavily upon projection, which, as generalised "K" (from SKI), sounds awfully like calculation.
I thought for a moment it was a really interesting wordplay which I did not understand.

Rather than stream noise over the network, I've generated it locally with either Sox or Chuck. I've since lost the Chuck script, but this is one for Sox:

But they are both documented - they know their names, their home country, they might even have their passports with them. The presence or absence of documents is irrelevant.
Publishing factual information in a place people expect to find it is not advertising.

Listing a house for sale on an agent’s website: not advertising.

Promoting that listing or the agent on the home page of a local news site: advertising

etc…

Some cases will be harder, all are decidable. We are talking about law not code, so there’s no need for a perfect algorithm, the legal system is designed precisely to deal with these sorts of question.
Not important. This is just testing the water with places most Americans have either not heard of or can't place on a map.
I don't necessarily need someone there all the time. But talking it out really helps when I need get over that hump and get going on some annoying problem.

I've also found it helps sometimes to have the TV on in the other room, on some mindless sports pundit show that I can half-listen to.

> These are just slightly glorified fast food. In Europe,

In my opinion it's a drinking culture thing. These places also served alcohol which is more tightly distributed than it would be in Europe. There's less of a reason for them to exist there.

I also think that's the reason for their decline. The day drinking crowd simply aged out of the business lunch segment. It was inevitable. COVID probably accelerated it some but the writing was on the wall.

> Proper restaurants

Yea, which is why I think it's about the drinks, these restaurants all used a common major supplier (Sysco) that makes restaurant ready foods that are mostly just microwave and serve. It was never about the quality of the food.
> As things now stand, FreeBSD represents many of the benefits of Darwin and the open source nature of Linux.

No. FreeBSD has committed the original sin of UNIX by deliberately dropping support for all non-Intel architectures, intending to focus on optimising FreeBSD for the Intel ISA and platforms. UNIX portability and support for a diverse range of CPU's and hardware platforms are ingrained in the DNA of UNIX, however.

I would argue that FreeBSD has paid the price for this decision – FreeBSD has faded into irrelevance today (despite having introduced some of the most outstanding and brilliant innovations in UNIX kernel design) – because the FreeBSD core team bet heavily on Intel remaining the only hardware platform in existence, and they missed the turn (ARM, RISC-V, and marginally MIPS in embdedded). Linux stepped in and filled in the niche very quickly, and it now runs everywhere. FreeBSD is faster but Linux is better.

And it does not matter that Netflix still runs FreeBSD on its servers serving up the content at the theoretical speed of light – it is a sad living proof of FreeBSD having become a niche within a niche.

P.S. I would also argue that the BSD core teams (Free/Net/Open) were a major factor in the downfall of all BSD's, due to their insular nature and, especially in the early days, a near-hostile attitude towards outsiders. «Customers» voted with their feet – and chose Linux.

It depends. Chords lying on the ground: no. It takes a picture of them and sends it to me to calmly inform me what a slob I am.

I don't prefer the in-person communication personally, but I know it's more productive for me, so I do it and end up preferring it. The same way I prefer clean code; it makes my and the companies life easier. Makes more money. I'm German, and it's painfully obvious.
That has been true in all days not just recently.
I'm claiming that its semantics are simple, not that they've made great choices in the design of the language. For example, I've barely used Javascript, but I think I would have scored fairly highly if that javascriptwft page was turned into a quiz. Most of the examples are fairly transparent once you know the implicit casting rules. I've read certain wtfs associated with C++ or even Java far more puzzling despite years of experience with them.

And yes I do believe that writing an interpreter for Javascript would be no more difficult than doing one for Scheme (which I had to do as a student) - the parser would be more difficult admittedly.
In France, I had watched a video on the subject more than 10 years ago, and since then I have been in favor of banning all forms of advertising, including and especially IRL in the streets. I've been using an adblocker on each of my devices ever since I saw that video, and I no longer see any ads (I use ReVanced etc. for X, YouTube, etc.), except unfortunately in real life since there are still ads in the streets, but at least from an activist standpoint, the online advertising industry should take a hit.

If any French speakers are interested, I believe it was this YouTube channel (which is very interesting anyway for discussions about fascism, advertising, manipulation, etc.): https://youtube.com/@hacking-social

Unfortunately not. It was a long time ago. If anyone else happens upon this paper (or another like it!) I'd appreciate them posting a link.
Some of the heavy metals are likely from the fire retardant, and some are likely from the fire. Look at zinc vs lead for example. There is little lead in the unused sample vs the environmental samples, thus most of the lead is likely not from the fire retardant. I would guess the most likely source is lead from roofs of burning houses.

Zinc on the other hand is present in all samples in about the same amount, including the unused one. That means that the zinc is likely from the fire retardant rather than the environment. Other metals are present in slightly higher amounts in the environmental samples, and often only in some of the samples. In that case both the fire retardant and the fires/environment are likely to contribute.

To me it seems like copper, lead and manganese are mostly from the fires, while zinc and chromium seems to be from the fire retardant. Then there is the sample from the Franklin fire, that seems to be higher in everything.
I'm sure most Americans can figure out South Sudan is just south of North Sudan. Ditto for East/West Virginia.
If I'm in green tech can I set up a charity whose goal is to raise awareness of the problems of climate change and what we can do to fight it? I'll claim that I really care about it and that's why I'm in the solar business in the first place.
What about ads from governments and organisations that promote mental health awareness, DEI, etc.?
There is no line, to fully and strictly ban advertising we basically have to abandon democracy and capitalism. Advertising and capitalism a so tightly related that you can't have one without the other.

You want no ads? Cool, let's familiarize yourself with North Korea.

People might want to rather opt for ethical ad standards and regulations, something fundamental like... GDPR.
Yes, it's not markup but typesetting [1]. Well before 2013 people used to use stars, _underscores_ or /slashes/ in Usenet forums or mailing lists to mimic typesetting, which lead to Markdown.

The name still maintains the confusion as it tries to be an alternative to markup systems such as HTML which had the purpose to introduce semantic clues for computers.

We all know how it went; the semantic part was entirely thrown away and markup was thoroughly abused for layout (HTML tables before CSS - CSS which also has little to do with "style" and more to do with typesetting and layout), as no browser today can just show a table of contents based on the HTML title tags.
