Very cool work!

Do you think it's likely someone will eventually write a full database system in Julia?

It'd be kind of crazy do do it I'm such a high level language, but I wonder... It seems like Julia is pretty fast and capable.
You mean like those curl url | sh advices?
Yes, I've seen this on Windows 10 Pro since 1803. Hilariously, it fails to open PDF's on an SMB share, says the file can't be found while listing its path. And the Microsoft Store is still so shady that I don't trust installing anything from a non-recognized vendor, so I ended up going to Adobe's web site to get Acrobat Reader which can open PDFs whether local or on that same SMB share.
> my younger cousins were busy texting the event to their friends. It was as if they were there, but not really there.

Sounds like they were meaningfully interacting with their friends.

Back before the internet, they'd have probably rushed inside and fought over who got to use the phone to call their friends first, and describe the incident outside over the phone to them.
OK, here's a drug price cheat sheet.

AWP (average wholesale price) = "ideal" list price, excluding discounts

WAC (wholesaler acquisition cost) = supposedly realistic wholesale price, excluding some discounts

ASP (average sale price) = supposedly realistic market price, including all but the best hidden discounts

Generally, AWP>WAC>ASP. And real bottom-line prices may be below ASP. Because of bundling and other well-hidden discounts.

I think that Medicare and Medicaid now use ASP. Medicare used to use AWP. For Medicaid, some states used AWP, and some WAC. Both were getting screwed by AWP-ASP and/or AWP-WAC spread, and they sued the drug industry over it.

The problem here is that PBMs are still allowed to bill at AWP or WAC.

There are at least four easter eggs in the Sidekiq source. You've found one.

Kudos to antirez for starting this refactoring. Switching to replica will clear up this confusing terminology.
Sorry but this isn't a problem with socialized healthcare, this is a problem with education of people in general and voting knowledge and the election system. If a party that bankrupts a popular system keeps getting re-elected then something is wrong, _generally_ this can be attributed to the two party system of government that has become much more predominant in the western world and enables extremism by catering to single issue voters.

To reword your statement, "My sandcastle building is going great except every once in a while this jerk comes over and kicks over my sandcastle, I guess there's a problem with my sandcastle" and the correct answer is that the problem is the jerk.
> What do these political police stand to gain from all of this?

A warm fuzzy feeling of seemingly contributing to the Forces of Good and fighting the Forces of Evil. Some launch rockets to the Moon, some create beautiful art, some create awesome software. Some instead bully people to not use certain words. The consider it their contribution to the society. Unfortunately, as more and more people fold to their pressure, this serves as confirmation that this contribution is worthwhile and there's more to come. If you write a symphony and it is applauded, you want to write another one. If you speech-police one project and it works, you want to speech-police another one.

Nicotine has its own risks as a stimulant, for sure, no different than caffeine in a lot of ways.

> If these news aggregator shutdown they will look for alternatives which might create an opportunity for people to develop news aggregator that share the revenue more fairly with the newspapers.

The problem is, what revenue? News aggregation is not a huge profit center to begin with. Then you take that already-small amount of money and split it between thousands of independent news organizations, each of which requires its own transaction costs, and the transaction costs sink the whole enterprise.
7nm != 7nm - there's a lot of variety between processes.

7nm on a (relatively) small ARM is also a different world to 7nm on a chip the size of the latest Intel's.

This is the standard statement of people who make profit from others ideas. If ideas are not worth anything, go implement your own instead of using an idea someone else had.

It's true that an idea in isolation is worthless. People need to bring it into existence, refine it, market it, in order to get any money out of it. That doesn't mean the idea has no value. To illustrate, one can ask "why this idea vs some other idea" and suddenly one is better than another.

TSMC is Apple's sole fabricator for their A series chips so they must be able to make 7nm chips.
That's a good point: a permissive license doesn't automatically transfer. This should reinforce the peril using code from an employer... unless you were granted permission or can otherwise publicly obtain the licensed code, best to not even have a copy or look at it without explicit permission... it's a legal minefield.
I didn't find the machine-learning course to be that great, but I don't know anything about machine learning.

Actually Global Foundries just announced they are abandoning 7nm for the short term.

Given that generating discomfort is a very low-effort endeavor, and no discernable skill besides having lots of free time is required for it, if there are people who want to generate discomfort, they will always be able to generate enough to overcome any boundary.

Since people don't like discomfort, squeaky wheel gets the grease, even if the squeaky wheel represents only a tiny minority of the community, because other people are not interested in wasting time and emotional energy on arguing and being target of the outrage-of-the-day mobs.
Malwarebytes has had a few (seemingly) false positives lately. Anecdotally, I was just hit by it falsely flagging BeyondCompare and my password manager.

I assume they have just upped the ante of their heuristics, but am still concerned about the fallout, since I am starting to ignore them.

Not related, but considering that it does not scan except on demand, why is it ALWAYS running? Who vouches for Mr. Malwarebytes?
> It doesn't spy on you or anything, it's just a hyperlink.
You are incorrect. It's much more than a hyperlink. It's an application which was installed in Ubuntu. It specifically runs:

unity-webapps-runner --amazon --app-id=ubuntu-amazon-default

The unity webapps runner manual says (among other things):

Application Options:
-a, --amazon Launch amazon (with geoclue store selection)
-i, --app-id Launch a webapp with a specific APP_ID
-c, --chrome Launch a webapp in default browser

Look at that. Amazon and Google. The --amazon switch tells amazon where you're at ("geoclue"), at the very least. And, Chrome being the "default" browser? That's funny, because Chrome isn't even installed.

So, that webapp also runs

/usr/share/unity-webapps/userscripts/unity-webapps-amazon/Amazon.user.js

Guess what that script does? If you even accidentally click the Amazon "hyperlink", you've now associated the _machine_ to a user.

Okay, ignore that. What else is default installed as webapps? Looking around the

/usr/share/unity-webapps directory shows only Google and Amazon.

Hey @sevensor, I'm not sure which announcement page are you talking about?
Doing a lot of extra work just to gain access to entertainment content seems to be kind of missing the point of entertainment in the first place.
Others have covered the legalities, but I'd wonder - as a useful question to ask in general - if it's as good an idea as you think.

A lot of the value of any idea comes the execution - which doesn't mean the code, it means the marketing, branding, support, networking, customer acquisition, and reputation-building.

Unless it's a very unusual idea that needs minimal customer interaction - they exist, but are rare - or something that works solo (games, mostly) you should budget time and money for all of these.

Many apps are killed by the support process, not the development process. The app sells, bugs appear, customers get various shades of irritated and angry, negative reviews are left, and dealing with all of this can turn into a huge time sink if you're not planning for it. This is even more true of projects that have a significant server back end.

The app store is full of abandonware left by devs who didn't realise how much extra work is involved in turning an idea into a reliable income stream.

I'm not saying it can't be done, but I am saying it needs some consideration before you go ahead and spend time (weeks? months?) on a clean-room rebuild of everything you've done so far.
Mega-corporations already do this, though, sometimes you get the courtesy of a buy out, other times, their next release includes a copy of your features.
They were lying. You can buy the drug however you like. There is no legal restriction (unless you're in Medicare or Medicaid, then it gets complicated). Then again, they also don't have to sell it to you.

A lot of independent pharmacies do things like that. For pharmacies, it's usually better to go with a chain than your local shop.

Case in point: abuse of the DMCA ironically took down this[1] article titled "EU censorship machines and link tax laws are nearing the finish line".

The video files are DRM encrypted - I don’t know how long iTunes or macOS retains local decryption key caches (especially if it uses Apple’s TPM equivalent) but based on my experiences with the iOS App Store provided you retain the actual video file then Apple will still grant you a decryption key. iOS App Store apps that have been removed from the store can still be installed on a new iPhone if you still have the IPA file. (Unfortunately newer versions of iTunes don’t let you backup and restore IPA files anymore and even “iPhone backups” don’t include apps themselves anymore, only your app’s user data.)

> I've also tried to avoid EFI and Intel processors.

While your entire principled nature is worth admiration, may I ask what your objection to EFI is?

As far as I know it's an open standard, and there's nothing fundamentally bad about it.

I know lots of people have issues with UEFI Secure Boot (mostly based on FUD), but secure boot is strictly optional. Not to mention many UEFI firmwares lets you load your own keys: I.e. it respects your freedom.

Are you sure you're not accidentally conflating UEFI with Intel Management Engine (which is indeed spyware)?

With FDA clearance you're allowed to brand and advertise your product as a "medical device". Also, without FDA approval, you have to be very careful about certain terms you use to describe your product's features. For example, without FDA approval, you cannot say your device "monitors" falls. You can only say it "tracks" falls. There are several other limitations because the FDA doesn't want you making these types of medical promises to customers unless the FDA has approved it.

Agreeing with you, I guess the weird thing is that it WORKED for 20 years or so!

I'm sure people have written a lot on this. I think some of it is because most people actually _are_ interested in treating each other respectfully, and the internet was smaller, with less opportunities for making money (at one point enforced anti-commercial in fact), and more homogenous (for better or worse).

One of the points they made was that people who go to the hospital reporting symptoms are not necessarily experiencing those symptoms during the visit, and collecting ECG data when people are going about their daily lives allows doctors to better diagnose heart conditions (Apple Watch ECG data is stored in PDF format in Health app).

Good customer service lesson here: Apple should've offered either a refund or to mail him the Blu-rays of the movies. I imagine this is a rare enough scenario they can easily afford for that to be their default response to such a support ticket, and the customer would most likely either tweet positively about the experience or not at all.

Russia. The first bill was passed around 2012. There is one key difference, though. As Russian government generally lacks influence on Western tech companies, they chose to target ISPs, while the EU law in question goes after hosting providers.

It is significant because while network-level filtering is potentially more destructive, the agency in charge of enforcement of the russian law (Roskomnadzor) stumbled upon cryptography (who could have thought!). Their IP-level filters don't work for TLS, so the only option they are left with is all-or-nothing block by IP. This kind of censorship lacks subtlety, therefore big companies have some room for negotiation (small ones get banned without any questions asked).

The EU law doesn't even bother with networks, it threatens companies directly. And the EU market is large, so tech giants won't just shrug, they'll probably choose to comply.
