"Organic means better" is the embarrassing and misleading talking point here though, not being against having toxic chemicals in our food sold as "organic". I don't want added copper compounds and residue in my food, and copper sulfate used in organic farming empirically does that.
"The most frequently quantified [organic] pesticide was copper." https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/BRIE/2015/5570...
This is untrue. For example, Copper Sulfate is a moderately toxic substance used in organic farming and is highly corrosive. It is approximately 5 to 10 times more toxic than Glyphosate (LD50 of ~300 to 790 mg/kg for Copper Sulfate vs. >4,320 mg/kg for Glyphosate.)

Unified Memory or VRAM, not just RAM.
Ironic, I just had a phishing attempt yesterday from a phone number that showed up on my Pixel as from "Google".
I've been running an N100 for 3 years with a 5 bay external enclosure over USB 3.2 Gen 2 and ZFS, and have not had any issues. It is pretty phenomenal, pulls about the same power, and costs around the same as an RPi 5 but provides substantially more compute and throughput.
They were a fairly common occurrence in the late 90s. I worked at an OEM at the time and we would stockpile it during gluts for that reason, then make a killing ~6-9 months later.
It's a link from the sheriff's office, and I agree Sam is not a mean person. I've known him since childhood.
I hope you're right and the information I got was incorrect, we all want him back on the right path. He was found guilty previously for the same charge and did multiple years, so the reality is he did do this at one point, even if the latest charge was acquitted (I had not heard this yet, if it is true).
I didn't notice that but you're correct, and that does change the calculus. In that case: https://www.mctxsheriff.org/news_detail_T6_R1333.php
If I link to any articles about it, I dox him unfortunately and I'd prefer not to. I was friends with cmang from our pre-teen days, and we were both heavily involved in the ansi/ascii scene. I'm sure there's still some here who remember him from efnet, or other places.
Unless someone forks this project, this is the final version. The author is serving a life sentence, so I cannot imagine he will update this ever again.
Then it should be easy to prove, instead of saying "it isn't up for dispute" or citing a person's model.
That article cites nothing other than someone's model. There is no hard evidence in what you linked.
RDR2 is quite optimized. We spend a lot of time profiling before release, and while input latency can be a tad high, the rendering pipeline is absolutely highly optimized as exhibited by the large amount of benchmarks on the web.
It is acceptable to condemn others you disagree with, it is not acceptable to throw them in a cage.
I can negotiate my own salary, hours, and working conditions. I don't need someone to do it for me, and I certainly do not want to be forced into such an arrangement. Just because it's something you personally find advantageous doesn't mean others feel the same way, and no one should ever be forced into it.
64 core EPYC chips based on Zen 2 is what really blows my mind.
Along with all our other services, they're monitored by our off-prem Icinga instance.
Free Markets aren't amoral at all, if I produce something of value and we swap value, I fail to see how that is amoral. In fact, preventing that transaction is amoral. Slavery itself was amoral, and codified and enforced by the state.
Many in the South abhorred slavery and segregation, but had no choice but to follow the law.
Killing and maiming people has been a State activity since they've existed. It's one of the things they're very efficient at.
I wonder if we'll look back at the Bloomberg "chip implant" story as fake news, and if that's the case, can you imagine the police breaking into their offices with a warrant because of it?
Fraud is one thing, but hiring some e-celeb to pitch your product isn't something we need jack-booted thugs kicking in doors for. We don't even have an objective definition of "fake news", and you'll never convince me the State should be the one defining or enforcing that.
If this stands as-is, it could set a precedent enabling registrars to hijack domains, which is frightening.
Netsol absolutely has the right to no longer provide them DNS and/or registration, but they cannot simply place the domain on hold indefinitely due to their own capriciousness.
How is it acceptable to let a corporation arbitrarily decide, after taking your money, that they no longer wish to provide you with that service AND block your ability to use what you paid for?

The "Internet" would've happened regardless, Xerox's Parc Project and their "Parc Universal Packet" is one example.
How do you know they're not doing it because they're not ready to retire? Why does everyone instantly believe someone working a remedial job in their 70s hates it? I strongly suspect by 70 I won't want to do what I'm doing now, too much stress, and if I'm not ready to retire it'd likely be low-key, undemanding work.
"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have."
For all the talk of "negative externalities" I see on HN and the valley in general, I never see people discussing the rampant "negative externalities" of the laws and regulations we pass. It's unfortunate there's so little introspection going on, and so much reliance on the monopoly of the Government to further what Group A or Group B wants. (But it's OK, because I agree with Group A!)
How much value does the collecting of shopping carts gain a corporation, versus some employee in their mid-20s working on a core component of their company's machine learning offering? Depends on a number of factors, but generally speaking it's safe to say the latter provides substantially more value to the bottom line.
Saying there's no correlation to the value you provide your employer, and your pay is patently absurd, and simply pointing to some outliers (like CEOs) doesn't make this a binary function. If you provide great value, you will make a lot more than someone who fulfills functions a 15 year old can be trained to do in 30 minutes, and likewise, you'll be that much more difficult to replace.
We throw people in jail far too often as it is, and you want to add to the prison population for something that didn't harm anyone? I honestly don't follow. If this were executives covering up the harmful effects of their product on humans, I'd agree.
The Government makes the vast majority of their money off corporate profits, so they have a vested interest in seeing them succeed.
If you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content
Unfortunately it's not confined to simply "harassment" but anything "offensive, inappropriate or objectionable" by their own wording, which is highly subjective. If there's a legal issue, BBC should contact law enforcement, but beyond that informing others feels entirely punitive.
"Free" meaning coercion via the state to fund other people's pursuits. Perhaps we should look at why costs are rising? People need to seriously evaluate if it's really needed for them. I reject your notion that everyone, or even most people need a college degree. (I didn't, and I live quite comfortably thanks to tech with a 6 figure salary)
Part of the problem is exactly that we're subsidizing many people, forcing more scarcity and leading to higher prices. Using force to make someone else pay for my stuff isn't something I want to condone.
The state did a better job because when you have a monopoly on the use of force, the ability to pass and expand imminent domain laws, and an insane amount of funding via coercion, it's amazing what you can get "accomplished".
That's true whether it's for ill or for good. Last time I checked Google isn't bombing kids in other countries, our government is.
