Why does he not say what his bachelor’s degree is in? It seems highly relevant

You’re making me question how much I missed haha. That was my first FromSoft game. I finished it with the extension and had fun.

Billionaire people shouldn’t be able to vote.

They have power through capital already, they don’t need more.

I thought that’s how it would be too, but I’ve got to admit that the UI gets on my nerves much more than I expected.

The name comes from the US WARN act through the US FCC, and originally they did call the top level alert the “Presidential Alert”, but this was changed in the meantime. Now it stands at these categories:

WEA alerts only cover critical emergency situations. Consumers can receive four types of alerts:

• “National Alerts” issued by the President of the United States or the Administrator of FEMA;
• “Imminent Threat” alerts involving imminent threats to safety or life;
• “AMBER Alerts” about missing children; and
• “Public Safety Messages” conveying recommendations for saving lives and property.

Participating carriers may allow subscribers to block all but National Alerts.

This system was implemented using Cell Broadcast system which is standardized internationally. But I guess since the big US carriers were forced to implement WEA the strings from the US version made it into Android. So now some old versions of software may still show the old US specific text, even when used internationally.

I think that footer is just generic and for this specific comic the English version is the original one. Even on their Indonesian Instagram they posted this English version: https://www.instagram.com/p/CEjQBxFnrHN?img_index=6

When I read teen I assumed 18 or 19, because when do headlines ever shy away from using the most specific and horrifying term.

But no, it was a 13 year old. So a “minor”, rather than just a “teen”!

All I’m saying here is that Vocaloid is essentially an electronic instrument, like a keyboard, or a theremin, or a vocoder, or a synthesizer. Vocaloid is not very similar to AI generation, so there is no particular reason to assume that Spotify would them together.

I’m not trying to comment on what I find good or bad, nor to get into the fundamental debate on what music or art is.

I think the Vocaloids are more similar to weird instruments that are still played by humans, than to generative AI song synthesis.

It doesn’t say whether programmer is he they or she

I hear it’s a pipeline anyway, once you don the programmer socks.

After going around and around with them for 4+ calls and realizing we were right there, I just walked over on my lunch break, got hired as their helpdesk, walked back, quit

What made you switch over? Better conditions? Or just that the job sounded more interesting?

you always play Assassin’s Creed with extra decorations.

Or if there are guns and vehicles, it’s all Far Cry :-)

Non-voting common stock is a scam pulled by these fucking billionaire founders to reduce public participation, and concentrate their power, even as they use other’s money for their pet projects.

If a company just needs to take up money for an investment, it can issue bonds. Then it gives up no control, but enters into a fair agreement with someone loaning them capital at fixed rates, with no pretense of ownership.

If they sell shares, that is supposed to represent partial ownership and allow all the owners to collectively decide on strategy. It also brings with it the right to recall board members who go insane, like Musk or Zuckerberg. To prevent that these scumbags issue non-voting stock, or stock that has such reduced voting rights as to be essentially useless. Like SpaceX recently, all the IPO shares (class A) carry a tenth of the voting rights compared to the ones they kept (class B).

No I’m just pointing out that your view on who should morally control the company is wrong from the start.

i were to own a public company

It is my company

No, by definition it is not, if you sell part of it to the public and make it a public company.

One thing Eric Berger does not go into is bandwidth. There is a hell of a lot more bandwidth available in a single pair of optical fibers on the ground compared to SpaceX’ fastest ground to air links.

They claim 1Tb/s for V3 starlink satelites. If that’s true, a fiber pair provides at least 20 times that with utterly normal off the shelf DWDM components. And that’s a single pair of fibers. Optical cables are often lain with 144 fibers, or 288 fibers.

Does this person know what a break is? Not keeping any momentum going is exactly the point of it. Resting regenerates your mental capacities. A lunch break is not just for calorie intake.

Staplerfahrer Klaus!

The correct method has everyone pulling in the same direction like in this schema:

If they all pull, then the oars move through the water to the left, thereby propelling the ship to the right.

In contrast, in the post, everyone pulling exerts a force that is counter clockwise around the vertical axis of the ship.

I would do what I always do and build my own computer. But as for what you should do, probably get a pre-built with AMD GPU, without operating system to avoid paying for Windows, and then follow Valve’s instructions here to install SteamOS: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/65B4-2AA3-5F37-4227
