I agree that the name is not worth the confusion.
My first thought on seeing the name was, "Someone is still working on mkLinux?" I think it would be possible to run multiple kernels on the Mach microkernel, but kernel development was never my thing.
> But on the flip side, nobody would still remember how to compile code for it, so maybe not
Oh, I think I might remember or could figure it out rather quickly. I remember developing for KDE on a Performa 6100(?) back in the day and the compile of the entire KDE suite taking 3 days or so. I still have the machine with an out of spec 72MB of RAM sitting in my attic. I haven't touched it in 2 decades, so it's probably dead or needs batteries at least. mkLinux is still on the hard drive since I never wiped it.
Cheers to you, dgatwood, and to nester for your fine work.
About county level voter suppression Trump is going to win the third term.
The constitution is clear.
The Constitution is a document with words. Different people read those words and see different meanings. Only the five majority votes on the Supreme Court matter. If they want to throw an election to Bush or declare that Trump can run for a third term or even declare him as President for life without an election because of how they interpret the Constitution, they will be right and everyone else will be wrong.
The strength of the US governmental system never rested on the Constitution. It rests purely on the willingness of the people to behave in proper ways. Washington stepped down after his second term not due to the Constitution but due to his own ethics. Nixon was forced to resign not due to the Constitution but due to Congressional bipartisan ethics. It's not the Constitution that matters but the ethics of the people. And that is the real problem today.
And then clueless exec's claim that the feature that they got stuck with must be valued because they bought it (simply because they had no choice to get some other feature they though was important).
Tesla got rid of buttons and radar to save money. Of course, that's not good for marketing, so they turn that cheapness into a positive.
Seems like something similar here with BMW. A money saving decision is being spun into a positive. Do young people really want center screen controls instead of buttons?
It's now common for executives and politicians nowadays to spew falsehoods that are said repeatedly and loudly enough until it's accepted as truth.
Even if you're not stupid enough to gamble because you know you have to lose because of course you do you're going to be negatively affected by this because tens of millions of young men will gamble with money they don't have to lose and that will increase crime and cause a ton of other problems.
Also at a macroeconomic level, gambling is like a government tax where the collected revenue is entirely handed over to a private individual or company, i.e., a tax following by a 100% kickback or 100% inefficiency. Gambling and taxes both depress the economy by pulling money away from consumers, particularly the poor consumers that tend to spend and not save.
A chatbot conversation that police can legally see is just as admissible in court as a private journal entry on a desk in one's home that police can legally see. That seems obvious. However, there are separate issues involved. Was the evidence gathered legally? Was there a legal warrant or request? Was there duress? Also, using a chatbot conversation in court is far different than constant review to determine if police or supervisors should be notified.
MASSIVE win for Meta. They faced as much as $1.4 TRILLION in liability and got off with just $17 billion.
Furthermore, it has nowhere near the impact of a $18 billion fine (counting all payments). 30% is predicated on YouTube and TikTok agree to similar payments and changes. So, it's (at least for right now), only 18 * 0.7 = $12.6 billion. Furthermore, that $12.6 billion will be paid out over 10 years. That's really $1.26 billion per year. Yes, that's something, but $1.26 billion compared to $18 billion for a company with $62 billion in post-tax annual profit makes a big difference.
On what planet are the bay area *or* new york *islamist* (neither of which has a Muslim population over 5%)? And how on earth is the glowing core of American capitalism, home of freaking *wall street*, marxist?
Go to places and experience them before you decide what they are.
How one labels others often reveals the spectrum location where one is situated.
"According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the unemployment rate for recent graduates — which it defines as 22-to-27-year-olds with a new bachelor's degree or higher — was 5.7% as of June, more than the rate for all workers, which stands at 4.1%"
The unemployment rate may be 5.7% for recent graduates, but the underemployment rate is 42.0%. That counts people who are working at a job that doesn't require their college degree. The unemployment rate was as low as 3.9% in May 2022, when the underemployment rate was 40.7%. That means that the full-employment rate has been quite steady over the last few years. There has been very little change in job finding probabilities for a single individual.
However, there are factors that make a similar employment rate feel worse. College costs have risen, and today's graduates have a lot of debt, while inflation-adjusted salaries have lagged while inflation chugs ahead.
Granted it's in a different discipline, but the instructor having to use AI to write backs up the claim that people are forgetting things by using AI. It's a bit ironic for other reasons, but still supports the point.
Is using AI to help edit worse than using Gramatik or a spell checker or a buddy?
"the FCC said the gigabit speed goal is not 'technologically neutral,' suggesting that it isn't fair to other, slower technologies."
DEI is evil when applied to people but is glorious when applied to network technologies.
Are they turning this on with or without permission of the customer? Would they tell you if they did it on their own?
Maybe it's in the terms of service. Comcast could monetized this data stream by selling to burglars who wish to increase their operational efficiency by identifying people on vacation. If this works out well, maybe Comcast could take a cut of the proceeds.
With all that said, the study does mention that children exposed to less sugar in early childhood appeared to have longer telemeres and that there is likely the smoking gun on the early childhood / sugar link, as theres a pretty well established link between telemere length and cancer succeptibility in late life. Essentially the telemeres are the caps on the end the genomes, and the longer they are, the better protected the ends of the genome are from copying errors. Its also closely associated with the hayflick limit (essentially how many copies a cell can make before it shits the bed).
This is the one really interesting part of the study, or rather would be. However, even the abstract of the paper (which is paywalled) doesn't distinguish between sugar-deprived children who later increased sugar intake and those that didn't. Are the health effects still evident with sugar deprivation during childhood followed by higher sugar intake during adulthood? Or are the cardiometabolic disease, cancer, and telemere length effects mostly due to adult behavior, even if that adult behavior is influenced by childhood habits?
A related phenomenon is, Holocaust survivors live(d) longer. There is no good explanation and repeating the experiment is, thankfully, quite impossible...
Simply the Forbes link was enough to confirm this point
Nope. One link is not enough — from the very beginning I asked, that each citation consist of two links: one to the prediction being made, the other — to confirmation/discussion of it coming true. Another rule was, the two links must be at least 5 years apart.
The purpose is easy to understand. A person can privately record 20 predictions of, say, an average temperature somewhere changing from -10 to +9 degrees. Five years later one of them will have made a precise match, and Forbes will write about him. If you didn't know about his 19 other predictions, you'll be impressed... This is why I insist on the prediction to have been published — prominently — ahead of time.
you purposely ignore the arguments
Because I was not asking for arguments — I was asking for citations...
