I'm afraid there are no 'wild star cores' in the Solar System backyard. A supernova remnant would either be a white dwarf, or a city-sized neutron star (possibly a black hole) with a mass larger than that of the Sun. The latter could go undetected, but can be safely excluded since in that case it would be the Solar System actually orbiting it (or anyway being affected by it - the minimum mass for a neutron star is ~1.4 Sol, and a black hole would be even larger), and we already know the Sun's path around the Milky Way to a certain extent. OTOH a white dwarf would likely take billions of years to cool off and we would be able to spot it - so no, only planetary bodies may still be lurking there undetected.

Edit - clarification.

Any EU/EEA resident, but that wasn't my point.

One of the biggest things people bring up against the GDPR is "how will the EU punish companies outside of their jurisdiction". The answer is that most "American" companies actually use EU tax breaks and thus can most definitely be punished by the EU.

Also, the user was based in Iran. He doesn't have relevant rights under the GDPR.

Why would you call those people "true" libertarians? There are a lot of people who consider themselves libertarians of various sorts who strongly disagree with this. Some consider property to be theft.

There are many kinds of libertarianism, and the American-style extreme capitalist libertarianism is not the only one, and probably one of the most irrational forms of libertarianism.

Personally, I feel providing essential care to everybody equally does the most to free people from oppression and extortion by those who wield power over them at a time when they're vulnerable.
I never said anything about your religious beliefs, only that your need for hard proof one way or the other is similar to the need displayed by people who want to believe in god and who dont want to believe in global warming. there are many such examples but the bottom line is that demanding me to show you a sentient computer right now is not reasonable. We have the ability to reason about things without developing formal, mathematic proof about it. And in this case, there is no possibility that anyone could ever prove that AI is possible or impossible. Nobody can prove what it will do. If accept nothing less than hard proof then you are opting out of survival in basically any situation whatsoever. Sometimes logical reasoning is all you have and this is a case of that.

Yeah and before the measurements were done, before enough time had elapsed for meaningful change to be measured, all there was was people like me screaming at people like you, trying to make you see. When ai comes you’ll have your proof but it will be too late.
I use VBScript at work. I maintain a system that was started in the early 2000s and uses Classic ASP and continues on to this day. They are rewriting it slowly but in the meantime I get the joy of keeping it running.
So you broke the law, willingly, and got out of it because you have money.
You hit the nail on the head, I agree completely. But:

> Try thinking like a regular user, who just wants everything to work properly out of the box, rather than a technical user

I'm by any measure a technical user, with over a decade in software dev and a decade before that in network admin and corporate IT, and I absolutely insist on things working properly out of the box. Anything else is Work™ and I'm simply not going to do it for personal devices. Sure, I'll spend hours tweaking a server to get it behaving exactly the way I want. I am almost OCD about reliable, robust, version controlled environments. Just the other day I spent literally hours massaging some stupid nginx config file so it did exactly the right thing, all of the time, in exactly the right way. And all was right with the world.

My personal stuff though? I have zero, and I mean zero tolerance for any of that shit. My personal stuff better work perfectly first time, every time, or I will be taking it back for a refund or throwing it in the fucking river (regretfully this is not a metaphor). At work I am all linux and open source. At home I am the biggest Apple whore you ever met. I just want things to work.

I am also disappointed in Canonical, who I thought might do as you suggested and create "MacOS for Linux". I think such a thing is sorely needed. They haven't succeeded, though - perhaps MS could. I'd like to see that if they did it, and I'd give it a solid chance.
Ah gotta love social justice warriors... someday we're going to have to draw a line on where we throw people (and their ideas) over the bridge just because of 1 or 2 thoughts (or 2 million).

It could be said this package is history and it could be taught that this is offensive and why it's offensive.

So it should stay in the packages; maybe in unofficial sources or something.

To really hammer home the point here, that Conservative government, in an effort to make immigration numbers go down set immigration rules to impose a minimum income for jobs that could recruit outside the EU. That minimum was lower than the government austerity cut maximum pay for nurses. Result: can't hire non-EU nurses, shortage worsens. Waiting times increase.

Eventually, as this started to be more widely known the Conservative government "fixed" it. Not by paying nurses more, not by lowering the immigration income requirement to match what they pay skilled workers like nurses, but by specifically exempting nurses.
That would be right. The plane will pivot around the center of lift.
People using WireGuard: how well does it work in public networks that only have a few select open ports (http/https/openvpn…) ? Does anyone have a workaround (e.g a reverse tcp (+tls/sni?) proxy on port 443?)
I would say that this has been known for quite some time in philosophy, but I guess it's good to have some real-life verification for it. This article on Belief Merging and Judgement Aggregation[0] is a good entry point for the field, for anybody that is interested.

exposing the etcd key via the metadata service and then having etcd visible on the Internet is bad.

This means that a single SSRF or RCE bug in any application running on a cluster using this approach can be trivially escalated to full cluster compromise.

Can you explain why that would be a problem? It's certainly not a technical one, none of these are special when it comes to versioning or dependency management of software. I can see that there's a social/political problem - which is exactly what I'm talking about.
For everyone that’s not in the EU: GDPR puts a stop to that behaviour (theoretically at least - with a shadow profile there’s by default no consent collected, and it’d be difficult to argue legitimate interest).

"certainly was uncomfortable before it was extremely painful"

Actually it wasn't - went from nothing to blinding pain as if someone threw a switch. I'd have 10-15 minutes of agony then it turned off for the same time and it repeated at that frequency all of the Saturday until a GP came out on the Saturday evening and gave me painkillers and told me to go to the emergency dental clinic the next day.

It was right in the middle of my 3 years exams at University - which was a bit of bad timing!

First public reviews I saw note highly microphonic nature of these "tubes". This is a big disadvantage for applying them in guitar/bass amplifiers or any other live gear.

First yes I think it does. Second this is more like paying people not to smoke a particular brand - they could change to another.
It can be seen as a matter of convenience in Schroedinger’s equation too. Other representations of QM exist. For example, in the phase space representation we have a real function of positions and momentums. In the wave function representation we have a complex function of positions: the (square of the modulus of the) amplitude is related to the position and the (derivative of the) phase is related to the momentum. In the Scroedinger’s formalism we can also go from the position representation to the momentum representation via Fourier transform.
You don't even need "a few times the Earth's radius." Assuming identical density, mass is proportional to the cube of radius.

Earth already has the highest density of all the large objects in the solar system, at about 70% of the density of solid iron. An object that has the same density as Earth, but with 2x the radius, will have the mass of 8 Earths. If the object was made of solid iron, it will have the mass of over 11 Earths. That's a lot of mass in a small area.
You're assuming you can get cars into the elevators at 5s intervals.

Almost all assumtions in the discussion start directly in the tunnel, and sometimes at the elevator. Almost no one thinks about: how will cars get into that thing from the road, how the cars will get out of that thing onto the road.
Not really, you could very well imagine private hospitals bidding against each other to win a contract on providing ER services.

To my way of thinking, copyright should be set to the minimum required to induce/allow creators to create.
I can't think of any creative medium/industry that would look more than 10 years out (except maybe Disney with their Marvel and Star wars factories, but I think that supports my point).

Copyright is a government granted monopoly. We have pretty beefy laws regarding virtually every other kind of monopoly because its generally against the public interest. The only reason to offer the monopoly in this case is to encourage content creation. So the period of monopoly should be no longer than necessary.
The new york times seems to have a personal agenda against facebook. Their reporting is unfair and wrong at best.
Some sites shoot themselves in the foot with dark patterns. J.C. Whitney, the auto parts company, does this. If you go to their site, you probably want to buy an auto part. They have a reasonable system where you select make and model of vehicle. But then they start throwing full screen ads at you on mobile which get in the way of buying auto parts. It's really hard to get past those ads.

I tried twice to buy a part from them, then gave up and went to a competitor. On the compeitor's site, I was done in five minutes, and the part arrived today.

Fandango, the movie ticketing service, has a similar problem. If you go there, you either want to buy a ticket or find out what's playing. They keep shoving trailers and popups in your face as you try to get to the desired movie and the ticket ordering page. And they keep trying to get you to install their "app". I've stopped buying tickets on line from them; I just go to the theater and pay cash. It's faster.
The books Difficult Conversations and Thanks for the Feedback from the Harvard Negotiation Project are somewhat helpful, but really only for heavier topics. I've been looking for a good resource on how to lightweight to medium-grade banter.

That... Doesn't make sense. What if the "button" (probably a jumper or connector on the motherboard) isn't normally accessible to the end user, like a lot of embedded devices? If it has a CPU, ROM, RAM and runs code it's a computer!
My point is not a legal one, it's moral point. If they're complied with the GDPR it means they even have processes and systems to give users their data; but didn't had the decency to respect their customer and atleast close their account in a much better way.

I am most frustrated not with Edge going to Blink, Not the tone of the article, but Web Technology as a whole.

I remember when I was doing Web programming in pre IE6 era, it was insanely frustrating. Pulling your hairs out trying to make the simplest thing to work across browsers. I didn't hate IE6 for Active X or its Standard forcing practice ( It is actually both good and bad ), but M$ unwilling to improve IE when there are lots of low hanging fruit, while actively stopping other browser from gaining ground.

Nearly 20 years passed, it still looks like a bloody mess. Yes it was a lot better than IE5 / 6 era, CSS still sucks, ( just less ), Cross browser handling of Keypress and Video still a mess? And we have now arrived to a point where Chrome/ Blink becomes a living reference implementation to test out ideas before it is "standardise". Web Pages that only works well in Chrome? ( I am not even talking about Web Apps which somehow 90% of the case we don't need but we still made it )

Was this what we envisioned the web 20 years ago?
If copyright lasted (say) a year or two - maybe. But even then, it's a terrible tool with huge social costs and limited upside. In any sane world, given the increased pace of information exchange and cultural change, copyright terms should have decreased over the years. That's not exactly what happened, now is it?

It's completely laughable to assume human culture would cease to develop in the absence of copyright; which is essentially it's stated aim. Evidence: the entirety of human history. The idea wasn't the brightest from the get go: this was lawmakers simply trying to be too clever.

But what bothers me most is the framing of "authors of a creative piece of work should have the right to protect their work"; when in fact it means "anybody or any organisation who made even rudimentary changes to almost any kind information can limit the rights of every other human on the planet". It's an absurdly blunt regulatory tool that's eminently vulnerable to regulatory capture, and oh hey; that actually happened many times over the centuries - and not just in terms of durations; it was expanded to corporations; penalties became more severe; exclusions were reduced; scope crept in the form of anti-circumvention measures; reach expanded by population growth and international cooperation.

Copyright and derivative laws in its modern form has to be up there as one of the worst forms of regulation, with huge economic and social costs, yet no good way out and no practical sunset clauses because of extremely entrenched habits and vested interests.

Even tho supply of local labor was high during recession, it should not have been possible for emmigrant to come to US during that time. There was no need to bring labor from outside, it demonstrates problem with this program.

I doubt that Joyent/Samsung will abandon their work on-top of Illumos. They contribute work upstream to Illumos.

They continue to port code to Illumos (i.e. KVM, continued work on Pluribus port of bhyve, etc.).

SmartOS is what their data centre orchestration solution gets built on-top of.

You can see their changelog for SmartOS they are quite active:

Security by obscurity is better?
By the way, I totally understand why almost all guitar amps that marketed as hybrid use preamp tube stages and solid-state power amps. However, the reasons are almost all are from the standpoint of engineering, not sound quality.

From my experience, overdriven guitar signal formed by ubiquitous FET-based approach driving a saturated tube power amp can sound gorgeous, tight and punchy, and feel very "natural" and responsive. 12AX7s into your ordinary solid-state power amps - not so much.
Can you show evidence of this? What about airline tickets?
Ok so the article says this successfully destroys the amyloid plaques, but does it help cognition or slow the disease?

Specifically for “slowing” it seems entirely plausible that breaking up the plaques will allow misfolded proteins to migrate (due to reduced size).

Ignoring entirely the there have been multiple drugs that successfully reduced amyloid build up, with no actual benefit. Eg they did exactly what they were designed for to no avail.

A small correction, white dwarfs are not produced by supernovae but by main sequence stars running out of fuel.

From my understanding, jobs in Canada are scarce, at least for new immigrants, it seems most of them can only start off of menial jobs.

Since Canada is relatively easy to immigrate to, newcomers have to stay within the country to compete for scarce and low pay jobs, while citizens of Canada can pursue high salaries abroad.
Oh yes you do, or you couldn't even use this site, let alone do any programming.

For better or worse left-to-right has "won" in programming-land and I fully agree with alangpierce that it's the natural choice for evaluation order as well. We read left-to-right and the computer should as well. That's one of the main problems I have with Python. Evaluating right-to-left just feels like being contrarian.

Riiight... as the author of the Mu editor (a volunteer led code editor aimed at beginner Python programmers and educators -- https://codewith.mu/), this was rather a surprising turn up for the books this morning.

I guess "just Google for Mu" won't work any more. Beginner coders are just gonna love "Firmware as a service". ;-)
Rather, it's true when the existing roads have a lot of traffic.

The reason why widened roads increases traffic isn't just unmet demand; demand actually increases. The extra capacity means that people can shorten journey times by using the road, and they then locate their homes and businesses at either end or along the road. The road itself increases demand.
Sure complex numbers are convenient for representing phase and amplitude.

BUT why is there a phase?
While true, the convenience in the Schrodinger equation is due to a symmetry in nature which the algebra of complex numbers mirrors. The pattern of a symmetry in nature corresponding to a convenient algebraic object used to represent it happens in many other places including Pauli spin matrices. In signal processing complex numbers are useful for more purely mathematical reasons.
Actually it doesn't look that way. You can run Linux on a surface device just fine. The tricky part is largely what they just released: interacting with UEFI and ACPI peculiarities like "connected standby."

Though the surface laptop does have an Nvidia GPU, so there's that piece of proprietary bullshit. :)
