Actually I see a lot of people write x or @ instead of o. The x is the variety most sprayed on walls in political statements, the @ is used for stuff like birthday invites. Some people I know do it.

To use x in an English text comes across to me as political activism.

they are probably talking about their caching. Videos with low views are not cached at all servers, especially not higher definitions. So you want to watch the video, the server realizes "oh hang on, I threw this one out, let me grab it again from another server". while the server fetches the fullHD video, you get it in 360p

Out of all possible trade barriers, I think tariffs are generally the better option.

The alternative is subsidies, quotas or "unofficial" barriers like product safety rules or other burry-you-in-bureaucracy setups. Tariffs bring in taxes (as opposed to costing the public) They're easier to understand. This one makes Chinese microwaves x% more expensive. It's clearer who is paying for it (consumers) and who benefits, as opposed to pretending a policy is intended to protect consumers. Importantly, they are easier to change. Politicians can make a decision and do it. With other options, it's harder to implement patches or predict the results of any change.

Basically, they're simpler, more explicit and more honest than any other approach. ..if you've already decided to have trade barriers.
I'm interested to know how you plan to keep someone with `wheel` access from doing anything on a server that they maintain.

No, seriously.
The complexity here is that there are multiple parties involved: the copyright holder, who suspects there may have been an infringement; the uploader of the potentially infringing content; and the host, who wants as little to do with copyright claims as they can.

The DMCA strikes a balance for the copyright holder and the host, by letting the host avoid any liability for the copyright infringement, as long as they enforce valid requests by no longer hosting the content.

The new EU law builds on this principle, giving hosts more responsibility to check whether copyright might be being infringed. I'm strongle against the idea, but I can see the logic that the host is best-placed to actively monitor all uploaded content.

A big issue I have, both with the DMCA and this new legislation, is that there's no balancing in the direction of the uploader. Aggressive solutions like your proposal do address this imbalance, but they don't do anything to address the actual concerns each side has.

If we want more reasonable copyright laws in this arena going forward, we should also be pushing for an uploader's right to appeal, as a balance against the rights of and affordances for the other two parties:
* There should be an 'appeals'/'counterclaim' process for content uploaders to take responsibility for the content. Presumably, to balance against the copyright holder's needs, they should submit their name and address when they claim that their content is non-infringing.
* From the host's side, the uploader following this process should remove all responsibility for that content from them, so they have no concern about liability and can re-enable access to the content.
* From the copyright holder's side, they need to be able to seek recourse if they still think the content is infringing. This can be done by taking the uploader to court, using the details they have provided.

I desperately hope this new legislation fails, but I think you were spot-on about aiming for a 'fair balance', and even acheiving that would be a great improvement.
Miners don't have the ability to 'print' more Bitcoin. They can release blocks with whatever transactions they like in but they will simply be rejected by the network.

The fact that there is 10,000 public bitcoin nodes (and probably x10 private ones) keeps the system honest.

Where I live, you can't really destroy a forest. You can hack it down and lay concrete over the ground; if you then leave it there, in a matter of decades or centuries it'll be a forest again, if you don't regularly weed it out and hack it down again.

If climate changes - as it has changed in the Mediterranean, prior to industrialisation - that's then different.

I recently had a video with very low views that just wouldn't load for minutes on end. Was wondering if they were down, or if it had to be grabbed from some tape archive because a disk crashed.

No one is saying "no bugs" NASA level code is required. Basic SQA must however be conducted- factory automation software is not something where you can settle for low quality as you seem to imply. Something tells me you've never worked in factory / production environments. There are critical safety requirements that must be checked, especially in environments where machinery is operating in proximity to workers. Not only that, but there are huge financial incentives in place to ensure high quality. A bug in an early step of a manufacturing process can cause massive amounts of rework or even scrap, leading to huge losses.

Care to point to 3 examples of common home routers that do not check source IP? I’ve verified many TP-Links, Linksys (when they were owned by Cisco) and Netgears, and all used the kernel to NAT (and yes, they couldn’t do the 1Gb while NATting - usually 300-700 or so. And much lower if you use IPSEC)

> In the IoT era (where S stands for security), if you don't put each IoT device in its own VLAN, you are in for a surprise.

Never felt the need to put each device in it's own subnet, sensible firewalling seems enough. I tend to avoid devices that really want to talk to the internet though, so most of the time it's "you don't get to talk to the internet"-subnet. But ok, if you love connected stuff and want to split it in very fine ways, that'd be a bunch of subnets.

So yes, as I said /56 would be nice and should be the default but /60 is likely to be enough for the vast majority of users.

i highly doubt that. The youtube monopoly is due to both audience, and the monitization model available (which, atm is getting shoddier and shoddier every day with random demonitizations).

The ‘deaditors’ of Wikipedia
There are tens of thousands of games you could be playing, and only a fraction of single-player games have anything like this. If you don't like the small fraction that do, choose other games. I can't even think of any single-player game off the top of my head that I can't pause or save and quit progress at any time.
Thanks for checking. I actually also expected this to be an issue when IPv6 started to become a thing, but I've seen very little in the way of reports of it and am positively surprised that manufacturers appear to be copying templates that do it properly, so I'm more worried about crap like the "forgotten" backdoors, exposed management interfaces like UPnP, ... right now.
I wouldn't say it's "the right thing", but it definitely makes sense in most scenarios. Who in their right mind would voluntarily welcome a new layer of complexity into their network when it's not really necessary?
Imagine it's kind of a shared singleplayer experience. You play a game by yourself against computer controlled enemies, but you might see notes left from other players, and the ghosts of their last moments. Later you can use special items to hop into a game (co-op) or invade a random player's game (pvp).

It is unsurprising that this falls on deaf ears. The author is the creator of AppImage, the only remotely sane application distribution mechanism in the Linux Desktop world, and it is used by basically nobody. I've come to the conclusion, over time, that the Linux Desktop community just prefers that everything sucks.

"Full of shit" means "not telling the truth", a hypocrite, e.g. one that suffers from double standards.

You can tell a lot by my reply, but not that.

And I understand the author's frustration, because I've been there. We tend to live in filter bubbles, believing the stories of those around us, acquaintances that we picked according to our own ideals.

Step outside that bubble and you'll notice people don't freaking care about most of your ideals. And I wouldn't say they are full of shit. If anything, it means that we aren't realistic, a problem of expectations management and a recipe for depression.

Hence my comment — i.e. I'm one of those that won't quit Facebook due to outrage over the story of Cambridge Analytica, because I don't think that makes any difference. I'm also among those that have been happy with the introduction of GDPR, because companies are unreliable and have built business models that depend on the ignorance of Internet users. I also work in the online ads industry, while being anti-tracking, so compared to a lot of people in this community, I'm not guilty of double standards, at least in regards to tech.
Great idea. Honestly I was not expecting a big support like this. I hope the current state of the project can help some projects now and hopefully in the long term we can include new designers and help as much as project we can.
That's all good and nice but in most cases, this is a matter of policy. If someone actively tries to circumvent the policy or the process, odds are that most software shops would fall victim to the same thing. Especially in the case of internal software. Even if you have a system that attempts to enforce the process, odds are that the system isn't without flaw and is not too hard to circumvent.

Most businesses who's primary money maker is not defense or security related... are not running their operation with a focus on defending themselves from themselves.

and there are plenty of others too.
They're single-player in that you play on your own, but you play on your own with a lot of other people playing on their own. So you could be on a server doing your own thing, and if you see another character whilst playing, that could be a human person doing their own thing, or it could be a NPC doing their own thing (but with the option of interacting with other human players - chat/trade/fighting etc)

It is essentially a single-player experience but on a shared playing area.

If that makes sense!

Its kinda cool, but this forced you-can-only-quit-when-we-say-so thing is not cool. Why you cant just safely despawn when you pause or exit I don't know. I guess it is there for "realism"
What if it's the other way around: what if the feeling of everything being interconnected is an illusion?

When Cartesius said his famous "Cogito ergo sum" that's pretty much what it meant - you can be sure that your mind exists, but not much else beyond that.

And, if you think about it, why would everything in the world be interconnected in some meaningfull way? For what we know universe is just a big bag of energy and particles interacting with each other in the random way. "It's all connected" is a cry from the human mind desperately trying to make sense out of chaos.

Hey, leave Eve Online out of this.
> How close is Futhark to being considered production-ready?

It's not 1.0 yet, and there are ways to trip up the compiler by accidentally writing irregular code (and the workarounds are nonobvious), but several people have used it productively (albeit non-production by most standards). Addressing this is part of the research we're doing, and we are quite sure we know how to get there.

> OpenCL is easy to write for anyone who knows C (far more people than fans of functional programming) and moderately difficult to write decently well. What's the value proposition of Futhark? Is it just that some people prefer writing in a functional DSL rather than C, or does it purport to enable some optimizations that are hard to write well manually?

In principle, a skilled GPU programmer can always outperform Futhark. The value proposition of Futhark is partly that you can obtain decent code without having low-level knowledge (usually within x2 of hand-written performance), and partly that even a skilled GPU programmer can get there much faster. Most low-level GPU languages (like OpenCL and CUDA) make it very hard to write code that is both fast and modular. For example, you might write some really nice CUDA kernel that operates on vectors, but there is no obvious way to apply it to every row of a matrix - probably you will have to write a new kernel from scratch; one that is very similar to the old one, but without direct code reuse. In Futhark, you would just 'map' the old function over the matrix, and let the compiler figure out how to turn it into one or more segmented operations.

Essentially, the Futhark compiler is not bound by the restriction that the optimised code should be maintainable by humans, so it is able to use inlining, duplication, fusion and a host of other transformations that are helpful for performance, but no sane programmer would write if they cared about the maintainability of their code.

In practice, Futhark usually gets beat on single primitive operations (matrix multiplication, FFT, etc), but at an application level, it tends to do well.
It started with the C64: Games and the ability to quickly create something of your own with BASIC.

Interestingly, with the web it was quite similar: "View > Page Source" and the ability to quickly learn and create something yourself really fascinated me about the web. Accessibility in my opinion was one of the key aspects that really made the web take off.
The tension between "all non-Anglo culture is unconditionally progressive" versus "we have to pretend linguistic gender is political" is amusing. The meme that the standard English "he", used in the context of referring to a gender unspecified person, is oppressive can't be older than the 60's; it's probably possible to document its exact source and rate of spread. The meme doesn't even make sense for its own purposes because it disallows an English speaker to refer to a person in a gender unspecified way.
I have the feeling that soon the fishermen will have nothing left to catch and will be forced to let nature recover. I see them just as out of balance predators, killing of their own supply and subsequently they shall die themselves (or be forced into other source of income). Will nature recover? I do think so.

> Access to US consumers is a big bargaining chip

Which is why finished consumer products are not part of the new tariffs, so companies that make stuff in China and ship it to the US are better off than companies buying parts in China and assembling in the US? Or was there a big push of end-product tariffs before that didn't make headlines?

In most cases, buying all your parts locally is fairly impractical. (The documentation of various "fair trade" electronics projects is often interesting in that regard, since they often are willing to accept higher prices from trustworthy local sources, and often find that only a few things can be gotten locally at all, and often only in specialist variants, e.g. high-precision parts, with matching prices). Maybe it'll be enough push to restart some component industries, but I'm skeptical.
