Looks like arsTechnica mastered the clickbait. The title is misleading, the first sentence contradicts it, the claim is false (there is stock), and even if it weren't it's irrelevant without knowing inventory size. I can think of 0 positive things going for this article.

Why? You are still giving up privacy. There is 0 reason to be using Meta products, let alone pay for them.

Seems absolutely unhinged. I don't know who'd pay to doomscroll AI-generated slop and fake news. $49.99 for the top plan, lol.

I had cynically done this sort of tokenmaxxing for a while as a burnt offering to the token-hungry non-leadership.

Eventually I got tired of it and got back to work.

Very interesting story and also hands-on walkthrough of PCA.

It was never about security. '"Secure" boot' is older than this and was the same trick, they would ideally not allow you to boot anything that wasn't signed by them. It is already very frustrating that you have to go out of your way to enter the UEFI and disable it. For everyone but the technical user, their goal is already accomplished.

Maybe dang can respond. I am curious if this was flagged by users or just censored by mods.

Non-linear feedback with literal stalls, yikes.

Some people should not be allowed to make a website.

I constantly battle this dichotomy where I care about the work I do but I also cannot possibly care about the corporate model, given 0 ownership of flawed processes across the org and the looming layoff that'll happen any day now.

Some people are given the button and really do not care.

This is the game to be decompiling in 2026. Many good memories.

It's the new deal.

I don't dispute OP, but Adam Smith's premise was that the free market and "invisible hand" were meant to benefit society as a whole, and the minimal government intervention was there to enforce that. Therefore one could argue that the kind of capitalism we have today is not Smiths's original vision, but rather, a failure to implement that vision.

To be clear, I am not defending the position, and maybe that vision just cannot be implemented in practice, or the premise is wrong, etc. Just trying to answer the question as to why OP might be downvoted. We cannot generally conflate defenders of free-market capitalism with defenders of the existing capitalism. I've heard such arguments before, maybe somebody can elaborate in more detail.

Not OP but a progressive tax generally scales non-linearly to tax higher brackets a higher %. So then you have an increasingly lower / decreasing incentive to make even more money.

Many countries already have a progressive tax on income, but that is irrelevant to business profits.

Why is "rationalist" suddenly a pejorative?

I am definitely out of the loop. I assume it is used pejoratively only by self-labelled idiots?

How isn't this the actual link in the post? Have to go through all these loops and hoops and the post doesn't even link to the source from what I can tell.

H1-B (I think H1 generally) is dual intent. https://fam.state.gov/FAM/09FAM/09FAM040210.html

Sometimes I squeeze in an hour or so a day to read. Living on the edge, looking for the next dopamine hit.

You're absolutely right.

It's almost like they are about to rediscover taxes.

How? Labour mobility sounds like easier visa applications. Free flow would mean you can go from one place to another without a passport (you can do this currently within the EU with a EU ID.)

Peak Windows. Everything went downhill from there.

Should have gotten an MBA instead of a BS.

L2? I'm hot L1 material, dude.

But I like your and OP's analogy. Also, the productivity claims are coming from the guys in main memory or even disk, far removed from where the crunching is taking place. At those latency magnitudes, even riding a turtle would appear like a huge productivity gain.

Interesting that the previous post was flagged. You may or may not find the list useful, but flag? Did it hurt some sensitivities?

I wonder how this guy implement a ray tracer, then.

Does it take that much funding to make such a poorly-secured system?

God, these guys must be real noobs.

Right, because cameras exposed to public Internet access without authentication cannot at all be used to aid in crime.

You must have very little imagination to not see the irony of your own comment.

Soon the only way to assure your readers that your writing is human is by calling them a motherfucker in the opening sentence.

But then, you'd only be sure that the first sentence was legitimate and not the rest of the article. That is why I constantly reassure my readers that they're some goddamn motherfuckers throughout my writing. And you, too, are one, my friend.

The arrogance of calling it a "simple misspelling". We get it; you have commands from above to deploy AI and you're too pathetic to morally question the directive, but at least let's not pretend that LLMs make typos now. "Oh, oopsie, it was just a typo."
