There are 23 species of crocs and some are smaller than Komodo dragons. Temperaments vary quite a lot between species also, with crocs from the alligator side of the family considered to be "easier", though they're all crocs so everything is relative.
So 52 years worth of reserves assuming maximum capacity of 12mm barrels harvested a day. Now I am no mathematician but given a 1-2mm per day average and what will likely become a declining demand for oil over next 20-30 years, they have half a millennia worth of oil lying around. This well seems like a non issue to me.
I don't get it.

The article states that the Ghawar is "the world’s largest conventional oil field", and "can produce a lot less than almost anyone believed", and is in fact "able to pump a maximum of 3.8 million barrels a day -- well below the more than 5 million that had become conventional wisdom in the market"

The saudi "12 million b/d capacity" was known from before, I assume, so isn't the surprise that other fields make up a larger percentage than "guessed"?

Then how can it be "fading faster than almost anyone believed"?

And, isn't slower fading of their biggest reserve a good thing?

I have it on -- if my Yubikey is locked out or lost, it's not a problem as I have a backup of the master key in my safe. I could revoke the subkeys if the yubikey is stolen, or trust that whoever finds the yubikey has only three attempts on the pin.

Also I further mitigate the risk by having an explicit wrapper (gssh) to be selective about when I forward GPG/SSH agent.

The thing is, by 2022 they will likely have 7nm which is a totally separate team and effort and it's much more likely to succeed thanks to EUV. I have even seen late 2021 estimates for that and it's not entirely impossible they can crunch off a few months off arriving to a point where 10nm will have 2020 for it and that's it. An effort that took more than seven years and it's all going to waste.
Maybe the issue is the production fading, rather than the reserves? Any amount of oil in the ground doesn't do much for you if you can only extract it very slowly.

I never said it was, but a knee-jerk reaction to an anomalous event like this is obviously ignorant of trends. "Crazy people" (deemed by whatever "sane" minority) will always be connected/have the ability to connect provided they haven't already committed acts of violence and are locked away. Sure you can make it harder for them by enlisting private entities, but that undermines the market and places undue liability on the participants.

This is all blame shifting anyway. Why isn't the government held accountable here for allowing "crazy people" to be on the streets? Just think of all the things that can be used as a weapon!

Which definition is that? I've owned an old model 'Kindle Keyboard' for many years. The only thing needed to strip DRM from those ebooks is to type in the serial number of my kindle into calibre. It's never not worked for me; in actual practice it's very reliable.

I must admit though, these days I typically just go to Library Genesis. Because I'm a dirty rotten thief.
wow this is quite shocking! this means that we have reached peak oil quite possibly some time ago....OR for the cynical, the Saudi might be trying to pull a fast one by inflating the prices through scarcity...but that seems unlikely here.

What's more curious is that the US reported it as 5.7million barrels in 2004!

How to Pitch Freelance Stories to Gizmodo
The biggest and most direct threat to the publisher model is other publishers.

Publishing used to be hugely profitable because you needed a printing press or a big radio tower, which cost a million dollars, which made it rare and therefore valuable. If you wanted to advertise there weren't that many publishers to choose from in a given market, so they got to charge high rates.

Then the internet smashed the economics of that to smithereens. The New York Times now has to compete with your blog. And your blog doesn't have that much traffic, but the sum total of all blogs and social media actually does, so the number of ad dollars going to traditional publishers has gone way down.

People always point to Google because they sell advertising and get their cut when they do. But the thing Google replaced isn't publishers, it's ad sales reps, and nobody weeps for them. The "loss" isn't the commission going to Google instead of some ad rep, it's the tiny amounts each going to millions of bloggers which used to get summed up and pay the salaries of thousands of reporters.

Which is why the publishers are willing to resort to underhanded dirty tricks as they did to get the EU copyright directive -- because their goal is to shut down all of this user generated content which competes with them for lucrative eyeballs.
Those requests seldom get far enough to start significant server activity. It's the ones that look like legit requests that are the problem.

The speculation on whether Ghawar can yield a lot less oil than most people think has been around for more than a decade. People used to worry about this stuff a lot more, back when it wasn't clear whether heavy oil and shale would be able to fill the gap (not to mention renewables).
This is a very good point. The few acts of terrorism in my country's recent history were inspired by mainstream political discourse, I which certain groups were demonized and vilified. It doesn't take violent content to radicalize someone, our polarized political discourse is sufficient to do that in vulnerable people already.
Seldom isn’t good enough. When it comes to security you have to be right 100% of the time. An attacker only has to be right once. Good luck.
Pumping rate tails off as the extractable oil drops, so the fact that it's dropping off faster than expected in their biggest oil field is notable.
The other articles on this clearly say the the pilots started following the procedure and disabled electrical control of the stabilizer, then later stopped following the procedure and hooked it back up to the electrical controls.

This Ars article here does not make sense with the way a 737 works. If the electrical motors are physically disconnected from any form of electricity, no amount of rebooting or software will make them start controlling the aircraft’s pitch. The pilots reconnected them.

Generally extracting oil slowly is a good thing, it increases the total amount you're able to pull out of the ground. Increasing immediate flow means having to do things like pumping water into the field to increase pressure, and getting an increasingly watered-down mixture back out. Things that involve a pretty huge increase in complexity.

What do you define as "content"? Given the position you're taking,I take it you don't consider game mechanics, difficulty, and the satisfaction of overcoming a challenge as "content"?

If you want a book, then buy a book. If you want a movie, then watch a movie. If you want to overcome a challenge, then accept that failure is a possibility and thus won't be allowed to enjoy the reward. Failure in these games is accepting specifically because the downside doesn't affect us in a meaningful way. We won't get hurt. We won't lose money. The failure itself is part of the game.

I follow a similar workflow:

1. Make exploratory modifications

2. "git add" pieces that I think are "commit worthy", even if I'm not sure I want to actually commit it yet (still exploratory work).

3. If I decide I don't like the latest set of modifications, I clear them all, going back to what's in my pseudo-commit.

4. Once I'm happy with it as a whole, I turn it into a real commit, complete with message.

What would be really nice is some sort of "pseudo-commit stack" whereby you can do this workflow, but every mini-commit goes into a stack that you can unwind to whatever point you want if it turns out that you've been going down a blind alley. If pseudo-commit stacks had first class treatment, you could even stash them, which would be great if some other emergency came along that you had to deal with now.

Internally, you could create some kind of HEAD-like pointer for this, store commits that go from HEAD to PSEUDOHEAD, and then when you're finally ready to commit, squashes everything from HEAD to PSUEDOHEAD and follows standard commit procedure from there.

Or maybe you could implement it as a "reset HEAD" kind of thing to collapse the pseudo-commits, which then allows you to use standard partial commit semantics if needed.

Actually, now that I think of it, I could do a poor man's version by tagging REALHEAD before I start, making actual, real commits as I go, and then "git reset REALHEAD" to start building the actual commit I want...

The Japanese eBook store BOOKWALKER, owned by publishing giant Kadokawa, is by far the most draconian I've seen in recent years when it comes to eBook DRM: https://bookwalker.jp

Some examples of the lengths they go to:

- They used to have a desktop app that allowed reading offline. Not anymore. They're phasing it out in favor of their web reader which has no offline reading functionality. Presumably because people were cracking the DRM there.

- Their Android app detects root/custom roms and disables itself and starts spamming you with a new browser tab every few seconds, even if you don't try to open it at all (I have no idea why this is even possible on Android). It doesn't just use Android's built-in SafetyNet APIs either, it uses some custom methods that somehow managed to bypass Magisk's root hiding feature until version 18, when I discovered that it finally started working. But soon after that I found my account mysteriously locked, and upon contacting support it sounds like they were able to find out I was running under root somehow, and reinstated my account with the caveat that the next time they catch me my account will be disabled for good. That was the last straw for me, and I vowed never to do business with them again.

With that said, I do hope someone who's more well versed in the dark arts of reverse engineering than I am could take a crack at breaking the DRM in their Android app or Desktop app (they still post a really old version on their site, not sure if it's still usable) dump their entire library on a torrent somewhere and show them the futility of their ways. I honestly think their DRM only survived for so long due to sheer obscurity because they have a such a limited audience and not enough smart people are interested in fucking with them. I'd love to have some means to liberate the library of books I've already regretfully purchased on there (they lured me in with their frequent sales and rewards program).

They have an English site too if language barrier is an issue: https://global.bookwalker.jp/

Tesla Model 3 Deliveries Falter, Deepening Concern About Demand
That's why I love the way we get ebooks in Poland. When we buy an ebook, we usually get a pack of files (epub/pdf/mobi), without any DRM, but with watermarks, some visible, some hidden. Same for audiobooks. There's no DRM, there's some piracy, as always, but the system works and it works pretty damn well. I wish american ebook and audiobook stores were like this.
Talking from my experience - I tried it but I just didn't like the taste. Obviously that's subjective, but maybe that's how most people perceive it.
But a fair number of people had similar upbringings without that kind of fluency. Plus, English was slightly passé to that cohort.

There's a RainbowCrack plugin which allows you to extract your activation_bytes which is both fast and free. Once you're extracted your activation_bytes, it can be saved and re-used to remove the DRM from all your audiobooks.

Then you can use ffmpeg to convert the .aax file:

ffmpeg -activation_bytes $activation_bytes -i $audiobook_file -c:a copy -c:v copy $output_file

I'd suggest converting to m4b, which you can achieve by replacing the aax extension with m4b as part of the output_file. This preserves all chapters, metadata, and even the cover art. The m4b format also has a neat feature which lets you bookmark your last position in the same file.

k/os: everything we know so far
You have essentially four cases for Korean fonts:

- Gulim and Dotum, two sans-serif typefaces introduced with Windows 95 (!!!!!!) [1]. They have hand-fitted bitmaps (which are not that bad for small pixelated displays) and awfully hinted vectors. Their monospaced variants (Gulimche & Dotumche) still remain as the only portable choice for monospaced Korean fonts.

- Malgun Gothic, a sans-serif typeface introduced with Windows XP. Yeah this got much better! Except that it is not well hinted and thus eye-jarring for smaller texts (hopefully this concern will be obsoleted in the future). Also in my opinion it is slightly unbalanced than other alternatives.

- Noto & Source Han Sans CJK, a sans-serif typeface shipped with Android. This is even better than Malgun Gothic, except that it does not ship with Windows (hahaha). Its monospaced version is also very good, except that it does not ship with Windows and Android (you read right).

- And of course Apple Korean fonts. In the past they shipped AppleGothic which is slightly better than Malgun Gothic, and nowadays they ship Apple SD Gothic Pro which pretty much matches well with Noto Sans CJK.

Thus you go with Noto Sans CJK, Apple SD Gothic Pro, Malgun Gothic, and (hopefully never) Gulim or Dotum. And you know what? There is essentially a single different Korean font acceptable for each platform and their metrics drastically vary (Malgun Gothic is the biggest outlier IMO). And note that serif fonts are completely absent in this list---there is really the single most portable serif Korean font there, namely Batang, in the same page with Gulim and Dotum. If you want serif fonts in your web page you are simply doomed.

There are numerous attempts to improve Korean web typography. Spoqa Han Sans [1], an extremely subsetted version of Noto Sans CJK, is a good example. And it still weighs 441KB---at such size it will be a full-featured font for English but for Korean it is barely comfortable. And I don't know what can be done with this.

[1] Their prototypes were much older, back to Windows 3.1.

I REALLY don’t agree with giving Amazon money (ethically) but I am a hypocrite and end up buying a lot of ebooks and audiobooks from them, I do my best to back up the files using calibre but I‘m sure they could lock down devices / files using DRM and their latest DRM incarnation is very hard to remove. I try to buy DRM-free ebooks and audiobooks whenever possible but I think mostly due to market domination authors and publishers end up at least mostly exclusively providing content via Amazon.
