No, you need to stop them. You need a plan for victory. Testifying that they have unstoppable power is an indulgence in cowardice. At halfime, do athletes say 'we can't possibly stop them!' It's just someone acting out their fears.
I don't know about Canada, but here in France many things come as a long-term contract with monthly payments and cancelation fees. Most common which come to mind are mobile phone plans and ISP subscriptions.

Many companies still have 12 or 24 months plans, and you're on the hook for some form of penalty if you cancel before the term. And no, I'm not talking about buying a plan-subsidized phone, even "naked" plans have this.

Since some years ago, companies have started offering monthly-only plans, so you can cancel anytime. But, for some reason, there still are cancelation fees, which are fixed. What's funny, is that they also usually offer rebates if you switch providers, which usually cover those fees.

I'm not saying this is a good thing, but, at least where I live, the Adobe scheme is fairly common.
Agreed, at this moment it’s an anecdotal labeling. Honestly if anyone can point us towards some other great tooling in this space, we’d love to compare and contrast more deeply. Right now we’re benchmarking against data.gov
Yeah, I see this a lot on HN as well. "$BigCorp is secretly doing $NefariousThing!" "How good is the evidence for this, though?" "Why are you shilling for $BigCorp, we all know it's nefarious!"

Like, I can easily believe that many big corporations are doing all sorts of shady stuff, but the lack of precision makes it impossible to put everything into perspective. (And it's not like "just break them all up, regardless of the details" is a viable solution: you'll just end up with a bunch of slightly-smaller shady corporations.)
That's exactly how it works in Russia. This led to some innovative services and exotic contermeasures, like locating the datacentres inside the perimeter of military factories (hard for LEOs to breach unnoticed), or installing racks inside trucks - you have time to drive them out of a nearby building while the front doors are breached.
Sure. My mention of "printing press" was specifically meant to be moveable type, but that detail doesn't matter.

Now how do you get from your true observation to characterize how technology now is 'several orders of magnitude' greater than the 'very little "technology"' af3d had as kid?

When you talk about "demands it places on our lives", do you mean modern life has higher demands, or lower? And is that a good thing?

Like, in the 1800s, employees worked 12 hour shifts, 6 days/week, with few rest days or holidays. Working conditions were horrible, and a simple slip in attention could cut your fingers off or worse.

That placed a high demand on people's lives - higher than ours now, and higher than those in the Middle Ages. Quoting https://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/users/rauch/worktime/hours_... :

"Before capitalism, most people did not work very long hours at all. The tempo of life was slow, even leisurely; the pace of work relaxed. Our ancestors may not have been rich, but they had an abundance of leisure. When capitalism raised their incomes, it also took away their time. Indeed, there is good reason to believe that working hours in the mid-nineteenth century constitute the most prodigious work effort in the entire history of humankind."

My mother would make clothes for the family when I was a kid. Sewing is a complex skill which takes effort and time to learn. She stopped when the price of cloth got more expensive than the price of pre-made clothing. Does technology place fewer demands on our lives now?

And how do you factor in the lack of effort we should have been doing to avoid global warming - a problem we've known about since I was a teenager in the 1980s?

The English-speaking Internet is more affected by this (and maybe a few others like Chinese and Spanish).

There's less money to be made by targeting languages with fewer speakers, so it tends to be more real. But maybe in the future this will also end because LLMs are quite good at writing in non-English languages as well.
Right and this is exactly why the Hamas covenant says:
"The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews." (related by al-Bukhari and Moslem).

I mean he must just love the Jewish people. Lovely guy indeed.

There's something cooked about Windsurf/Cursors' go-to-market pricing - there's no way they are turning a profit at $50/month. $50/month gets you a happy meal experience. If you want more power, you gotta ditch snacking at McDonald’s.

In the future, companies should budget $100 USD to $500 USD per day, per dev, on tokens as the new normal for business, which is circa $25k USD (low end) to $50k USD (likely) to $127k USD (highest) per year.

Because time spent updating dependencies won't contribute to adding new features.

Besides, any update risks breaking stuff. Not freezing dependencies isn't an option, because that means any commit can cause breakage in a completely unrelated part of the codebase, in a way which can be extremely confusing to debug. And you don't really want to install the very newest versions either, better wait a week or two for someone else to run into bugs and release a .1 version.

The sweet spot is somewhere in the middle: update often enough to avoid updates becoming a massive burden, stick with fixed versions between updates. I reckon it's best to just schedule some dedicated time for it every month or two.
From that same CNN article:

> “They dressed us in military uniforms, put a camera on us, and gave us a metal cutter,” he said. “They would ask us to do things like, ‘move this carpet,’ saying they were looking for tunnels. ‘Film under the stairs,’ they would say. If they found something, they would tell us to bring it outside. For example, they would ask us to remove belongings from the house, clean here, move the sofa, open the fridge, and open the cupboard.”
They seem to be the ones who pride themselves on being independent, real adults, salt of the earth and look down on supposedly overly dependent young people.

These same flaws exist in every safety device we deploy. In practice it's obvious that having a consistently deployed base mostly solves these issues. There are corner cases, to be sure, but how is the greatest amount of good served?

Having these on delivery trucks ferried by unskilled drivers in non emergency vehicles who might just happen to be close enough?

Or just having them in almost every house on the block even if some number of them fail to work on first use?

I strongly suspect the latter is the better choice. Just replace AED with fire extinguisher and we could literally repeat this entire conversation.
I don't understand arguments against UBI that rest on people not working anymore if they get UBI. A society where UBI is possible surely has to be one where humans no longer have to work. Otherwise it's impossible to finance.

I've never seen any explanation for how it's going to be financed that passes even the most rudimentary fact check. There is not enough existing money to pay for it, and if we create new money it will lose value.

As long as necessities are valuable, meaning people actually have to work to make them, we can't pretend that they're worthless by covering their costs with a UBI. I see no way around that.

Before we reach the stage where necessities are free, UBI seems to result in taking thousands from people in need in order to give twenties to everyone including FAANG-programmers and lawyers.

I'd rather see the ones in need get thousands and actually survive.

I agree with you here. I do personally believe in democracy, though for a slightly different reason.

I believe in democracy because I think the public should be able to collectively pick their fate and then own the outcome. I don't want an elite class doing what they think is best for the rest of us, and I don't want to own the result of their decisions if I had no say in the decisions.

I live in a very red state. Though I didn't vote for Trump I am surrounded by a strong majority of people that did. I've viewed it the way you're describing from the beginning - we made this bed, now we get to see what the result is and decide what to do next.

As an American please be careful blaming all of us for this. Less than 1 in 4 Americans voted for Trump. It doesn’t mean you need to buy an F-150 but please separate the concept of the American people from the GOP voter base. The complexities of our electoral system and our unique racist history made this very hard to avoid. Please don’t assume Americans in general wanted this or are ok with it.

This is completely false. A cursory internet search will find many examples. Churchill was a vocal opponent of the Nazis in the 1930s.

Right. Nobody who was paying attention is shocked. This includes many Americans.
Same here. I'm not sure what the "not translated into English until 2005" in TFA is meant to mean; sure, maybe that specific book wasn't translated until that date, but much of Europe watched the Polish fuzzy-felt TV adaption in 1978 or 1985.

The best oranges [0] I've had were half green. Fresh from the tree, but still plenty ripe.

It's my understanding that oranges for transport to colder countries are picked unripe and ripened in the holds of cargo ships. This ripening process is great at making the skin more orange, and OK at improving the flavour, but nowhere near as good for that as ripening on the tree.

So if I saw green patches on my supermarket oranges, far from the tropics, I'd be conditioned to expect them to be really good. They wouldn't be, of course.

At scale, I'm sure this will work; might be hard getting there. I've been thinking about this window's gui concept for a while. Cursor helped me build this faster than antificpiated. Super gnarly, great fun.

Prompt Mode -> Create a prompt and it gets 'activated' to the entire network. Basically, as long as you're both online, someone in the respond mode has a chance to see it. Only when you're both online though, real-time conversations only.

Respond Mode -> Just as it suggests, you'll get random windows popping up of online prompters. Switch between both modes seemlessly.

> Fennel's approach of compiling to Lua while maintaining meta-programming capabilities is elegant.

Yeah, it is very nice to work with.

The only tiny "complaint" I have is that it doesn't compile to pure Lua, but instead assumes you'll be running it together with Lua's libraries.

I say this because, for me, the places where I'd like to use Fennel have a lot of overlap with the places where I'd like to use Lua without loading any of the provided libraries (e.g. embedding Lua into other software, instead of using it standalone).

No, that's okay, just be aware that I'm not an expert in Haskell and so I'm not going to be 100% sure about answering questions about Haskell's evaluation system.

IO in Haskell is also lazy, unless you use a library for it. So it delays the action of reading in a file as a string until you're actually using it, and in this case that would be when you do some lazy transformations that are also delayed until you use them, and that would be when you're writing them to a file. When you log the transformations, only then do you start actually doing the transformations on the text you read from the file, and only then do you open the file and read a chunk of text from it, like I said.

As for adding a progress bar for the user, there's a question on StackOverflow that asks exactly how to do this, since IO being lazy in Haskell is kind of unintuitive.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6668716/haskell-lazy-byt...

The answers include making your own versions of the standard library IO functions that have a progress bar, using a library that handles the progress bar part for you, and reading the file and writing the file in some predefined number of bytes so you can calculate the progress yourself.

But, like the other commenter said, you can also just do things in IO functions directly.

I read the 1st third (it's really long) and while the data analysis is interesting, the conclusions say a lot more about the biases of the author(s) than those of the BBC.
Fundamentally you can't use sympathy as a measure of bias without first establishing a baseline for how sympathetic the views and/or groups of people are. The report mentions that Palestinians might be more sympathetic because they're the ones being blown up, but then discards this by pointing out that the BBC is supposed to "ensure broadly comparable treatment of the Palestinian and the Israeli viewpoints" without acknowledging that maybe they do and one viewpoint is more sympathetic than the other. The least sympathetic group according to the report is Hamas, so according to it's logic they're the group the BBC is most biased against. Not a reasonable conclusion.
There's plenty of other indicators that this report started with a conclusion then tried to gather data to support it, but I've already spent more time on this comment than the report deserves.

Even if the company has a successful exit lots of times the founders have different stock class than employees which allows them to cook the books in creative ways where employee stocks are devalued without affecting founder stocks.

I now am granted stocks which are traded on the NYSE so nobody can cook the books without commiting securities fraud.
