So many goosebumps going down memory lane.

What about requesting delivery receipts? That could trigger an auto-send from the masked email service.

RAMpocalypse are making computing pricey again. This is a complete rollback. Now I am going to stick with my 3 year old a little bit longer

PDF got attached to the browser when the browser needed a printing mechanism that worked in JS. PDF.js was the best approach. Creating PDFs is also part of the same approach. And merging PDFs is part of the same approach. PDF is now a first class child of the web.

Has not digital data always been a secondary source of information, instead of a primary source of information? Paper records cannot be thrown away. And new records are probably recorded digital only but a copy is sent to the parties in the transaction

Actually they went out of their way to make sure someone in California could cancel (a lot of work) online. They only restricted use of the feature to a subset

This whole time I thought lithium was recyclable. We have been wasting our time on this! 50 pct recovery is terrible.

VanillaJS ecmascript needs far more rapid development. Right now too often there are polyfills being suggested to avoid developing features into the browser. For example, react and vue and angular features should be standardized by now.

As for frameworks, we are not progressing towards AI-driven frameworks.

It would definitely punish hosting degree programs that have poor career prospects and outcomes.

I use two different docks. Dock 1 is a cheap chinese dock with some ports that worked (it has many ports). Dock 2 is hp g2 (an expensive dock). Occasionally the screen shuts off and resumes a second later in the dock 1. And resuming from sleep, the laptop doesn’t detect the keyboard. I figured it was until the laptop is fully up, I should not plug in the usb. On dock 2, the laptop goes to sleep and won’t turn back on from the keyboard until I press the power button.

I’m hoping the comments will have a better insight into what’s happening

Non founders like Eric Schmidt are not recognized.

Nothing wrong with working at a newspaper site.

You should ask that question to the workers at palantir

One common way: you go for a camel ride. The camelier offers a very cheap price. He takes you far out somewhere. You get off for a bit. If you want to get back on to go back, he will overcharge you. Otherwise you walk back and that is worse.

Best way not to get scammed is to hire a tour guide. Best care. Best everything. They will tell you what to watch for. If you love Egyptology like others do, you are going to be in the targeted category for advertisement, souvenirs, and scams.

Ian Knots is a rabbit hole of great practical knots and shoe lacing styles.

So this kid uses his home computer at his home, and they trace him down with the IP address, and the IP address also makes a request for Windows Updates. And that narrows down the Device ID. The device id is now traced to this kid.

This is the kind of stuff privacy advocates have been raising the alarms about. This is the kind of capability that de facto erased all privacy assertions. And further led companies like Google to take advantage of this and erase assumptions of privacy all together.

Tiktok US is now participating in suppressing genocide news. Facebook doesn’t allow to follow Palestine interests

an exclusive right to that invention for a period of time, as a legal protection for the activity of inventing.

Can you cite this? What I know is that only Twitter back in the day created this framework that would give inventors the right to disallow for their patents to be used for patent infringement lawsuits. Otherwise, not even the inventor(s) have the right to infringe on their own patents. Inventors have no rights at all. Or if you know otherwise, I would love to hear it.

Listing out inventors is not about protecting the rights of humans but giving proper attribution to the works. The owner (person or corp) gets protection. AI is attributed as contributor or inventor.

With that said, AI contribution should always be disclosed in every medium that it participated in, including patents.

The self-replication and division you're picturing comes from that biological machinery copying and dividing

I think it will be a missed opportunity to not foresee manufacturing applications of "biological machinery". Enzymes have long been used in manufacturing, especially in chemistry. For the first time, ribosomes and membranes could be used as well.

What are the implications for nanobots with this kind of innovation: Artificial cell division recreating itself in 2? Is this a future endeavor of this tech?

I wonder if it is replies to delivery receipts that causes this problem

If Authority being manipulated by tyrants is the theme here, then the reference to the protests and Belgium is apt.

No it could not end up making parallels to nazis. Nazis were a century before. That incident is now moot. We are dealing with a new fascism in the 21st century. And we are seeing this fascism both in Belgium with the Trump celebrations, in Europe with their crackdown on protests, and in the US with ICE activities.

And even if "both sides" are abhorable, only one side is in power of influence. And this is how they behave with that power.

Some key lines:

There is no “right” without a “wrong” to make it right

Once I stopped treating correctness as an absolute, I stopped needing to win.

Arguments Are About Ego

They feel first, then reason backward to justify the feeling

let people meet their own consequences, because that’s the only teacher they’ll actually listen to.

when someone [asks], I give everything I have.

Let people disagree. Their disagreement is where the money, and the meaning, is.

Every hour spent trying to change someone who didn’t ask is an hour stolen from the one person (yourself) you can change

I am sure each person will extract different lessons here from their walk of life, but as an engineer the lines above are a watershed moment on how to view the world. Engineers are quite intelligent creative people who have big dreams. And sometimes in pursuit of those dreams with a feeling of intelligence we swim in creativity ... and put ourselves in a God-complex. We don't judge humans appropriately when we are in this God-complex.

1. Appreciate the wrong. It is a different way of thinking.

2. Stop trying to win. This is not a fight.

3. Arguments are about ego, but ego is about defending yourself. So arguments are really in self-defense.

4. If someone has more emotion than intelligence at a given moment, ignore their ideas. It doesn't count. It is clouded. This is how women judge between informations. They look at the emotion of the person speaking. The calmest one wins.

5. Some people like making bad decisions because it helps them learn. You can't do anything here.

6. Information provided vs Corrections made: But when someone does not seek information, don't give it. And don't correct someone unless you are their boss.

7. You can't change people... is a lesson I can never understand.

More and more we see the relationship with authoritarianism (police) and tyranny (those in power) out in the open. We see this with the protests in Germany for Gaza. We see this in Britain with freedom of speech taken away from Palestine supporters. And we see this shamelessly occurring from the Trump world.

I used to balk at those who were too worried at growing government power, but this is a wake up call. Protections have to be in place for the vast majority of people, even if it does allow a few criminals to get away.

Europe (which could mean anything from the UK to Belgium to Hungary to Turkey) never had absolute freedom of speech like the US. But yes, even by the US standards to champion freedom of speech, it is in retreat.
