Your product is at best a turd burger at worst, an undercooked turd burger.

The easiest way to do the "more generic solution" is to remove that turd burger from search results. Interwebz fixed.
so it will be less quality/taste product, at least in the beginning for sure. so what? why would you expect anything else in the beginning from such technology?

it is not supposed to replace kobe beef, it should feed the world of poor and severely malnutritioned. it is supposed to help with reduction of greenhouse gasses, since methane is much more powerful than CO2. it also could end bad treatment of stock animals in many places (along the logic that lab meat should replace cheap real meat of questionable quality that we eat all the time ie in most restaurants/quick eats).

when I travel to 3rd world countries, I have no expectations about quality of the meat products. meat is usually laden with loads of antibiotics, insecticides, growth hormones and what not. this should help too.

if it achieves this, while being only mediocre product for burgers and sausages, I will applaud the effort.
Thanks for the explanation. I was hoping for a Github issue number (or Bugzilla or whatever) to easily track this bug, but perhaps the Btrfs dev team doesn't work with issue number ?

At least for RAID1, it seems that implementing RAID1 N-way mirroring would ease the process to recover from a failed drive.
In case of drive failure, we could use the remaining drive in read-only mode to copy the data to a new drive, hence creating a RAID1 array with two working drives and one failed drive.
The OS should then allow to boot in rw mode, and from there it is easy to remove the failed drive from the RAID1 array.

However it seems that RAID1 N-way mirroring (with N > 2) is not even on the roadmap at this moment.

Have I misunderstood something or does this approach make sense ?
The license incompatibility is on the GPL side, not on the ZFS / closed GPU side. The only ones which could sue are the Linux kernel developers.

It sounds like you need better accounting software, it should be trivial to use your accounting software to keep track of this information.

You can have as many wallets as you like, but the problem is the same for all of them: getting coins into them. Transferring between wallets would obviously link them. You would have to go through a (different) convoluted way of obtaining the coins for each wallet.

No, because otherwise it would just be aggression. A trial is a method for the accusers to be able to show that their subsequent aggression (imprisonment, removal of property, etc) is justified.

Netflix recently bought up Mark Millar's comic book company, presumably because they've seen the writing on the wall and want to keep making super hero movies/TV shows after their current deal with Marvel ends.
why should Disney make Netflix richer?

Netflix for Hollywood was just a middleman that siphoned away their profits. Disney is just removing them from the equation because they feel they can run their own streaming service and capture more value than they provide. You only use middlemen when you have to, and they decided they don't have to any longer. And this lets them charge more and give customers more value too. A $30 a month sub with access to everything makes more sense than slowly rotating old shows for a $10 sub.

Clearly "Top Comments" means something to facebook that is seriously divergent from the generally accepted meaning of the term "Top Comments".

Facebook needs to provide a copy of their version control system (VCS) to a senate select committee to answer the question: "Does facebook have the technical capability to manipulate the posts or other behaviors, including "sort orders" on their platform"

Should they find its possible, a second data dump of the actual facebook database to the select committee would investigate has this capability ever been deployed to manipulate "emergent" discourse.

Its that serious. Nationalize facebook if they have been surreptitiously manipulating the de facto "planetary wide" discourse platform.

> Because it usually comes with built-in social security and nationwide health insurance.

That's not the case. Health insurance plays very little role in this. I can go to a private doctor for peanuts. Salaries are low, because companies are "broke" and don't have million dollar funding and you can have a great lifestyle with fifth/tenth of a SV salary.

I think Norway, Oslo absolutely can match or even pay slightly better than Zurich. An annual salary over 100K Euro for a senior software developer is not uncommon.
It's a term for binaries (usually ELF) being byte-to-byte equal in two
different runs of a compiler. This way you can build a binary package from
source package and if its content is the same, you know what source code was
used to build the package, and then you can e.g. inspect the code for
backdoors or build debug symbols without planning for that beforehand.

Great to see such progress made by Waymo and Co. But as the Murphy's law says, if something might break, it will eventually break. With possibly millions of self driving cars and trillions of unique situations, its inevitable that someone will get hurt. So my question is: what kind of progress is being made to draft a legal framework for situation in which I rode my bike in bike lane and for whatever reason self-driving vehicle struck me. Who do I go after in regards to my pilling up medical expenses? Do I sue driver? The car company? The company who delivered self-driving hardware? The software manufacturer? I get that self-driving cars comes with incredible advantages: less crashes (hopefully), no drink drivers, etc. But a legal framework for such automobiles should be in works as we speak.

Edited: of course Murphy's law; thanks for pointing it out!

True, they're not that crazy, but when I looked at the higher salary Vs the higher costs it was financially better to stay put. Of course money isn't the only deciding factor but it's not the land of massive opportunity it's sometimes presented as.

That said, if you've got no dependents and you want to stay in mainland Europe, then it's probably a very good choice.
Lol! this is too much..
Yes, the proprietary drivers have always been an ethical and legal grey area. However, the way a proprietary driver is distributed is different to how ZFS is distributed. Proprietary drivers are distributed as object code that is then built to be a kernel module on the user's machine. This means that at no point does Nvidia or AMD distribute a Linux kernel module with proprietary code. There are arguments however that distributions which distribute this auto-build scheme by default may also be in violation of the GPL. ZFS is distributed by Canonical as a fully functional kernel module.

There's a lot of gray areas because there have not been many legal cases on derived works and the GPL. The GPL itself has held up in court on copyleft grounds, of course.

Also, you've got the fact that in the case of proprietary graphics drivers, the threat is that the Linux kernel community would sue Nvidia or AMD. The threat with ZFS is that Oracle (who is a member of the Linux kernel community) would sue people using ZFS (they could also then sue for patent infringement).

The definition of something as a right doesn't imply that it is absolute. Incarceration, for example, almost certainly infringes on most rights you can think of (assembly, property, association, speech, privacy, pursuit of happiness). Yet it's routinely practiced.

So, no: personal rights don't have to come with costs to be meaningful. Example: "You have the right to peacefully assemble and protest for your beliefs. Yeah, no, not in my living room." Religious liberties, as another example, also seem to be doing just fine, even though it seriously cramps my style that people apparently belief virgin sacrifices are no longer included in that freedom.

Aren't they basically incentivizing Netflix to enhance they own catalog? They are already on it and they certainly got my attention for getting some pretty good content out. Netflix can basically just head hunt great content creators and producers which are left out of the industry altogether.

Unless they offer their content for a fraction of Netflix subscription (which I doubt), I'm not up for supporting this disaggregation of content by each producer. Netflix already has the tech, the infrastructure, the apps, which I'm already paying for. Do I have to pay for it 2x, 3x, 4x?

BTRFS has much more flexible snapshots and clones than ZFS. You can create rewritable snapshots and create new snapshots based on those. In addition you can create COW copies of files with "cp --reflink" which ZFS doesn't support.

It's great but if it really works, isn't there a concern about the existence of our beloved domestic animals?

All domestic cattle nowadays descends from the Auroch, which is extinct. The Auroch disappeared because we did not need it as it was. It was hunted down as tend to be all large animals that can not be domesticated.

If we don't need cows, pigs, sheep and whatnot, isn't there a risk they will fade away?

When we invented cars, the domestic horse kept existing because it still has recreational use. Is there a recreational use for cows?

If freedom of speech is important, speech must have the power to have real consequences. If something has real consequences, those can be either bad, good, or neutral.

If all consequences of speech were neutral or positive, we could make the world a better place by connecting a source of randomness with a text-to-speech synthesiser. But that's absurd.

Therefore, speech has the ability to harm. The distinction between "words" and "actions" is meaningless, as is already obvious from your inclusion of harassment in your list of actions. Because harassment is also just speech.

> A right to water, is different to free speech.

Not entirely. Consider the case of water privatization, where there's a real risk of extortionate pricing of what used to be a common good. If carefully written, right to water laws can ensure that such resources are used for the benefit of the people, instead of being just another market good that gets slowly monopolized.

Edit: In other words, you may already have the right to free speech, while water must be provided, but both can be denied.
