Do you have anything else as useful as this? THis is perfect

The game certainly needs a progress bar (I tried on iPhone) and option “there’s no chance in world that I will ever use any of proposed options”.

Funny enough I realized that every several years I oscillate between trying to get readable narrow fonts (that brought me to Iosevka) and wide ones (Azeret Mono, anyone?)

I always was thinking about guide like “joins are expensive” for cases like here’s query in your relational database, here are multi table joins, on top of them there are more complex filters (especially if there are subqueries and/or ), statistics is stale-ish, cardinality estimation goes out of the window and join ordering problem kills you. Especially bad when the same query was working no problem yesterday.

And this is the place when people usually quickly start to study query hints section of their server of choice. (pg_hint_plan)

And, as usual, quote from https://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol9/p204-leis.pdf

> … For all systems we routinely observe misestimates by a factor of 1000 or more. Furthermore, as witnessed by the increasing height of the box plots, the errors grow exponentially (note the logarithmic scale) 207 as the number of joins increases [21]. For PostgreSQL 16% of the estimates for 1 join are wrong by a factor of 10 or more. This per- centage increases to 32% with 2 joins, and to 52% with 3 joins.

> A CRDT merge always succeeds by definition, so there are no conflicts in the traditional sense — the key insight is that changes should be flagged as conflicting when they touch each other, giving you informative conflict presentation on top of a system which never actually fails. This project works that out.

It has clear contradiction. Crdt always succeed by definition, no conflicts in traditional sense so (rephrasing) conflicting changes are marked as conflicted. Emm, like in any other source control?

In fact, after rereading that intro while writing that answer I start suspect at least smell of an ai writing.

Invoking Trump (that I don’t care about, especially in the context of this conversation) is so cheap... I suggest you to go straight to Godwin law and compare me to literal Hitler, because that’s the quality of your argument (lack of there of, to be precise).

Let’s look at, let’s say, Apple and its tight control over entire hardware and software iPhone stack. Nothing prevents them to announce that starting from iPhone 19 they cryptographically sign the video to ensure that it’s authentic and, at least, the video and sound are what the camera saw. Pro cameras can do it, for Apple it’s even easier, more or less. I’m sure that even on this site there are experts who can design such system that is as secure as we expect from Apple devices. And that thing will slowly spread due to competitive pressures.

Involuntarily drug testing was one of examples that I gave, and you seem to be against. To some it may be extreme, and I completely understand where you’re coming from. To me… as I said - for some examples from the side the murderers surely lost their human privilege. That comment summarized my feelings after reading the website in much more succinct form: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47302490#47305803

Killing 13 month infant, putting bleach on 20 yo gas station employee and setting her on fire, stranding female who was screaming for help during sa. Mate, if your kidney is compatible with someone who is in need, you made your choice way too long ago to have any right to say anything now. Or if there are other uses that will benefit society and humanity as a whole - they are allowed. You are guilty (without doubt and with clear evidence) and sentenced to death. Now you have same amount of rights as cadaver on the table, but probably more uses while you still breathing.

At the same time, I think that with the advancement of the tech (surveillance cameras everywhere, dna tests, the cell tower triangulation and/or mobile device location tracking) there are cases when the guilt can be established without any doubt, and the overall chance of wrongful conviction will drop down.

Hell, have you read the website? One of those pieces of shit made his accomplice to video the murder on the phone.

I am not talking about generic inmates, who deserve all protection (“no cruel and unusual punishment”), I’m talking about people like ones from the website. Who did horrible stuff and were convicted to death for it.

I’m sure that if needed, society can develop necessary framework (declare them “legally dead” or something like that).

I’m sure there are enough people who will consider goals 2, 4 and 5 fulfilled. I disagree with your assessment.

As I said - those pieces of shit lost their human privileges after what they did. You don’t fix them or reintroduce them to society.

I don’t care about abstracts. I care about the fact that some of those scumbags were kept alive longer than their victims lived on this earth, and suffered less in their demise.

Those apologies are too little too late. Good riddance.

I have no sympathy for them, and I’m all in for using those for involuntary dangerous drug testing and stuff like that. Those pieces of shit lost their human privileges after what they did.

RCW 1.90.100

Personal income tax prohibition.

Neither the state nor any county, city, or other local jurisdiction in the state of Washington may tax any individual person on any form of personal income. For the purposes of this chapter, "income" has the same meaning as "gross income" in 26 U.S.C. Sec. 61.

https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim...

Gross income defined (a) General definition Except as otherwise provided in this subtitle, gross income means all income from whatever source derived, including (but not limited to) the following items: (1) Compensation for services, including fees, commissions, fringe benefits, and similar items; (2) Gross income derived from business; (3) Gains derived from dealings in property; (4) Interest; (5) Rents; (6) Royalties; (7) Dividends; (8) Annuities; (9) Income from life insurance and endowment contracts; (10) Pensions; (11) Income from discharge of indebtedness; (12) Distributive share of partnership gross income; (13) Income in respect of a decedent; and (14) Income from an interest in an estate or trust.

Current government is using it as toilet paper, first by introducing capital gains tax, and now income tax.

I see in another comments though that you argue in bad faith by dismissing opponent arguments as “small amount”, “talking points”. If you don’t have anything real to say, don’t bother to answer.

Where and how do they make money?

> Alongside him, Xbox President Sarah Bond is also exiting the company, who many suspected would be Spencer's successor in leading Xbox.

One of very recent examples: handheld Xbox.

There are rumors about upcoming handheld Xbox. Many like the idea

It is announced, marketed as handheld Xbox (asus xbox ally x). Quite expensive, but okay.

After some time (!) they reveal that this handheld Xbox actually won’t play your Xbox games/subscription. It will play your pc subscription and pc games. Wtf

Literally about time when the sales of the device actually start, Microsoft racks up the price of Xbox ultimate from $20 to $30 per month. They unsubscribe page is overloaded.

How any coherent management would allow this?
