you won't beat us in that regard. The article is a bit biased but the examples are real(uk). https://care.org.uk/news/2023/08/the-new-thought-police

I'm using a DUO 16 2023 with 4090 16GB and ryzen 9 7945HX (16c/32t). It also uses another 32 GB shared RAM which makes it a 48GB 4090. It's quite a bit slower than a full on 4090 but it can load decent sized models and works well.

Tested both Linux (some things will need manual patching) and windows. Works like a charm.

I wonder if that could be used as a list of possible organ donors. I don't know what else (data) is stored there tbh but if it helps narrow down to find a kidney or heart for someone rich...

" because the photos were taken from public property " ==> By that logic - someone in a tree, on "public property" (aka outside your courtyard) can take photos of your family in the pool (in your courtyard).

Would it be a one off or some kind of subscription thing?

The relay seems to be a N/O that is held closed when charging.

A reboot will stop the charging process.

You are assuming that there are no families that can barely afford what they need and really can't afford the waste or can afford the price increase.

Fasting is healthy but I'd rather it not be done because you can't afford to eat.

I had to go to China for 1 week+ for work and was in the same boat. Found a few places that only take WeChat but I ask someone around to pay for me and give them cash. More often than not it would be the person at the register. People are quite helpful if you ask nicely.

I keep a fb account exactly for the same reason. Keeping in touch with friends and family from all over. I'd never post anything because you never know what random s..t gets you banned for life next year.

soo... you want those that ammount to tourists to pay taxes in the country they visit? By your logic I should pay taxes to the country I go on holiday on the paycheck I get while being there.

You are forgetting the tax income from the money all those "tourists" spend in that country. Who do you think benefits from those taxes?

I do agree with you that it can befome a problem if those "tourists" start buying properties in those places. That should not be alowed without permanent residence (of, at least, a few years).

"That in turn drives up prices of everything for locals "===> Are you serious? Do you realise how many of these "tourists" (% wise) are needed to affect the market in a city? Even 1% is nothing more than a blip(IMHO).

This should be mandatory for any product/software that becomes EOL with no exception.

Not sure if this falls in line with your workstyle but...

I'm using a few XCP-NG vm's for anything dev related(including test environment). I keep a few main images depending on what I'm working on and just add/remove resources if/when needed. A lot more effective (for me) than being tied to a specific machine.

I carry with me a cheap 13" laptop and my phone, both with VPN's set up to dial in into my home network. I can use either. When I'm travelling somewhere I don't even take the laptop. I only have a foldable keyboard, mouse, small pocket projector.

For remote connectivity without my VPN I use Splashtop business (very very rare). It happened to me a few times that the VPN was not working over 4G (still don't have a cliue why)

There's a similar one from 1979 for an Automatic emergency call system for vehicles

A sharp enough 3cm blade is more than enough to make someone bleed to death.

A 5cm screwdriver is more than enough to give brain damage to someone.

A flexible extension hose like the ones that go under the sink (with the nuts attached) is perfect for knocking someone out.

A titanium tipped pen is quite good if you aim for ears, temple or throat.

A tightly rolled newspaper makes a very good blunt weapon.

Breaking/banning encryption like would have minimal benefits while exposing the whole society. Don't think that only the gov't will have the secondary keys if they decide to "only" have back doors. Anyone motivated enough will have them.

If chat encryption is banned... let's say it's not hard to reintroduce it on top of existing layers for anyone motivated enough or with enough money.

Civilians should not be dragged into it. Soldiers killing soldiers is one thing but civilians must not be dragged into it.

"but they're not innocents." ===> I'm wondering if those crazy bombers think the same as you do when killing/bombing "Civilians" instead or armed forces.

You logic was prevalent in feudal times. If someone attacked you, you'd wipe they whole city/area and their entire family tree just to make sure theree's nobody left to take revenge.

Any youtuber that uploads comment/react/compilation/commentary videos are good targets.

This is not a new thing. It's been going on for at least 4-5 years if not more.

Blackmail is also a thing. "take down video x or I'll strike your account" and such.

>>> "However the first thing that happens is it begins playing audio."

Yeah. In the same boat and my wife like to play pranks when she uses the car. Turns the volume to max right before removing the key. When her phone is not found it defaults to radio. That "saved me" from having to drink my morning coffee in the office on more than one occasion + it's good training for the heart.

Edit: Forgot to mention that the volume knob is ignored until the system fully boots up and the audio starts as soon as you twist the key.

How much of it is actually news?

The way I see it, (90%?)most of it is propaganda, rage baiting and interest pushing. That is not something I want to spend money on.

Central management/centralized control at that level is not something I'm really confortable with seeing. I can see the results of EU and how it shut down a huge chunk of small producers from the coutry side in Romania(my home country).

>"the only objective measure of value is what people will pay for it" - I think the ratio between demand/supply would be a more accurate one. I really don't know what systems have been proposed like this but "what people will pay for it" wouldn't be an option.

The whole chain - raw product to shelf would be (?mostly) quantified and you'll pay what is is out of your "produced/contributed hours".

In that regarding not much would change compared to today. Just the currency and formula used.

Production can be ramped up or down just like today, manufacturing lines closed, etc. Nothing special there.

The main difference is the currency used would be the same all over the place and that (ideally) labour h value for a particular skill would be rated the same everywhere in the world. A laboured in UK would have the same h coef. as one in China. This could also contribute to distribution of production centres more evenly around the world (ideally).

Don't get me wrong. It's just a discussion of sorts and no system is perfect. I just think something like this would help equalize things in some way and still motivate those that want to do more to do so. At the moment, all 'isms have their issues and I'm "hoping" a hybrid of sorts would be worth trying at this stage. I'm not pro any of them and agaist all of them... sort of.

>The value of an hour of labor isn’t based on the time it took to acquire the skill, it’s based on the value of the good or service produced to society

I'd think, the reason that a surgeon is paid more than a garbage disposal person is the ammount of time, brain power and skill it takes to learn/master.

In the grand scheme of things, number wise, if the garbage disposal guys are gone (or just refuse to work for 1 year), a lot more people will be sick and die. In todays world, we can't do without them. Why would a surgeon be paid more if he only saves 10000 lives during his lifetime when cleaners keep millions safe from disease, rat infestations, etc? How about those guys that work at water purification plants that keep cities running and that surgeon clean?

I'm not bashing surgeons here. I'm one of the guys that made it through a poped apedix thanks to a surgeon that realized what was going on and did the surgery within 1h of me collapsing.

I'm questioning the concept of rewarding labour based on "value to society". IMHO, that works only for basic needs and services. Food, shelter, security, etc. Anything above that... not so much or at best, debatable.

Value is relative term. Even so it can be quantified by using "demand" of a final service/product. That can be used to increase the value of the hour for a certain vertical.

Even the same thing can be valued differently, depending on the location, circumstances, etc.

Tbh I'm not an economics specialist to account for all variables but I can't see how it would be any different from fiat in terms of complexity.

You'd have to implement a coeficient based on the average time needed to aquire said skill for a person with average IQ and EQ, performance, number of base skills required to learn said skill, so on. This formula would be a bit more complex than this but you get the jist of it.

It wouldn't be impossible to quantify it for all but edge cases.

Awful? Ignoring the crypto coins, I'd love to see all spending/funds in for governments, ONG, non-profit orgs, (mass)media channels, public hospitals, all companies that have shareholders/sell shares, anything that runs on public funds and so on should be tracked via publicly available blockchains. You can probably see where I'm going with this.

I have mixed feelings about banks, national banks, lenders, art trading, casinos, pawn shops and such though. I'm a bit worried about tracking private individuals at that extent because of these.

on top of what lawl said:

- macros and scripts- it's nice not having to enable, disable etc stuff and just scan qr codes, nfc tags or use ble tags as markers to enable something

- chroot

- faking permisions and data for apps is a must

- sim links to app data folders for easy backup/restore

Don't conflate the digital world with the real world. If you really want to go there... The way I see it, Linked in is more like a public square anouncement board. You can write down the details of what is there and sift through it on your own, or pay them to give you a summary based on what you are looking for.

Edit: Would it be illegal photograph the board, OCR it and provide a summary for half the price of others? There is such a thing and "wrong/stupid laws"

I'm not sure what standing anyone at T would have to sue him after a move made to counter him buying it... after he made a public offer like that.

It would make perfect sense to just sell and go for plan B (buy through multiple people/off-shores or something).

I'm sure there are others but you can still find a 1980's Sharp 555 double casette players. I have one and had to do minimal maintenance on it and a bit of patching up. If you're not into repairing the electronics it's not a problem. pretty much any repair shop can get these back to working state. You can also find schematics on russian/asian DC++

You're being kind. "Extreme" doesn't describe it from my experience. For me it was 1 phone call/online meeting and 2 face 2 face. That is about it in terms of interviews. And that is a Fortune Global 500 company that I'm still working for. I was put on a 6 months contract and after 3 they switched to perm.

Other interviews back then and more recent were pretty much the same. Max. 3 x 1h-ish meetings. I do have a bad habit of asking the interviewer to sell me the job on the first face 2 face meeting though. This does offend some of them and we drop it there. No point beating around the bush and wasting time if they think the interview is a one way street.

This here is why I think all these platforms that become the norm/de facto monopolies should be classed as "public utility" and be subject to audits on takedowns, neutrality and such.

Saying no to just block a public infrastructure project is just malicious. As long as people are paid for a new property and inconvenience it's fine. Nobody should be able to block a project that benefits the society as a whole. Communist party or not, a person should not be capable of blocking a project that benefits the whole country just because <insert random reason here>.

Romania does have a lot of issues with motorway developments because of speciments like this. After the first major one that blocked the Bucharest-Constanta motorway for years, the gov't passed a law that allows them to just take the property and pay market prices. As it should be.
