The other reason is how it looks to business customers.

Buying a piece of software (one-off) almost always requires budgeting and capital-expenditure approval. Add in the mess of depreciation calculations and maintenance fees, and it's just a mess. Can be weeks of work just to buy £200 worth of software.

A subscription service usually gets budgeted and booked as recurring expenditure, and looks better on the balance sheet.
You need a licence to watch any live tv service. The law was changed in 2016(?) to add BBC iPlayer catchup services. It doesn't include other channel's catch up service, so you don't need a licence if you only watch catch up on 4OD.
"Cobordism" is actually more descriptive than he thinks, but it is French derived. "bord" means edge or boundary and a cobordism is something which connects two boundaries.

Sometimes IT and biology share some jargon, or at least they share the words but not exactly the meaning.

Both in IT and biology a collection of trees is called a forest. In IT, if you take a tree and remove the root, the result is a forest. Biologists don't agree.
I'm not sure what your point is. Microsoft sells hardware as well. If anything, that's another nail in Ballmer's coffin.
As I understand it, for much of the permafrost, there's ongoing vegetation growth, and has been for millennia, with a carbon cycle that's sequesters more carbon than most other places. The plants grow slowly, extracting CO2, die, but don't rot due to conditions, so the levels stored in the soils keep on increasing, and the land rising.

Not dissimilar to peat bogs in temperate regions, though the detail is different.

A thaw would release the thousands of years of stored carbon, and could promote growth that sequesters less carbon.
Yeah our local public broadcast does this and it is local market leader. https://www.audienceproject.com/blog/key-insights/new-study-...
Emotions make you stupid.
I think you may have misunderstood me. Broadcast TV does indeed require a license, but catch-up services are not broadcast TV, and I’m referring to that.

To quote from the TV licensing website:

””” Do I need a TV Licence for all on demand programmes?

No. You don’t need a licence if you only ever watch on demand or catch up programmes on services other than BBC iPlayer* (and you also never watch live TV programmes on any channel, including on iPlayer).

You don’t need to be covered by a licence to watch any films or TV shows that you buy online.

*You don’t need a licence to watch S4C TV on demand or listen to radio on iPlayer. You also don’t need one to watch films or TV shows on iPlayer that you’ve bought on the BBC Store.”””

Is there anything particular you would like to know? I've heard a little about Setun from my parents, but nothing too exciting, I can ask around if you're interested.

For a little context: my mother studied cybernetics and father studied electrical engineering in USSR in 70s. They still have their college textbooks lying around, so I can try to dig something up for you from that era. But keep in mind, even in 70s it was obvious that USSR was decades behind USA. Heck, my first algorithm textbook was my parents' 2nd edition of Knuth's TAOCP (interestingly, my parents combined have 1 copy of 1st volume, 0 copies of 2nd volume, and 2 copies of 3rd volume).
In Russian they say: the machine is built with triple redundancy and majority output/input selection (2/3).

But they don't mention anything else besides that about stability. No environmental hardening or else.
They didn't mention that the requirement for a TV licence to watch iPlayer content is relatively recent. When iPlayer first launched it was exempt from the licence. A TV licence costs about the same as Netflix + Prime does so is not surprising it's now losing out to other, more comprehensive streaming services that often also host BBC content.
> Spitting in an empty swimming pool to try and fill it?

With enough people spitting, that isn't a problem at all. Shame so many people are just standing back saying it can't be done instead of helping.
Yes, the law changed in 2016. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-37226030

> All viewers who use the iPlayer to watch any BBC programmes must now be covered by a TV licence after new rules came into force on Thursday.

> Previously, iPlayer users only needed a licence if they were using the service to watch live broadcasts.

> That meant it was legal to watch programmes after broadcast on catch-up without paying the annual £145.50 fee.

> But the TV licence requirements have now been extended to include catch-up, online premieres and online-only shows.

It only covers BBC iPlayer tv. It doesn't cover eg Channel 4's catch up service.
Or you could have a second partition with different set of apps/documents and have a second pin that unlocks that.
I've been an avid viewer of Jools Holland since I was very young and I second this - there have been a few DVDs over the years IIRC and they're finally starting to put current performances on YouTube but having all of the past recordings available would be incredible.
If it is in the publics best interest for the BBC to own the rights then that can be arranged

Is it in the public interest?

What is the benefit to the public of the BBC spending the money necessary to reclaim the rights to their old content? I can't think of anything. The shows that have any value (eg Dr Who) have already commericialized. Everything else ... why bother? The obvious point is that it'd be nice to watch some of the old shows again, but really, out of the 97 years of content across radio and television probably 99.9999% would never be looked ay by anyone.

Just as a parallel, there's millions of hours of old content on https://archive.org/ that never gets looked at. Why would the old BBC content be any different?
Have you not been paying attention? The measure of "crazy" has changed drastically over the last decade.
"Don't use CURRENT_TIME. Never"

Honest question. If we should never use it, why have it in the first place as an option ? Is it some type of backward compatibility issue ? This list is great btw. Why we shouldn't do something is a great way to learn stuff.
You can, but it's still easier to pirate said software.

And in Oracle's case, you're neglecting to mention their ability to bring lawyers to bear on any infringers, something not a lot of software companies may have the capital to do, compared to a SaaS model.

>Imagine having to install Trello, Google Docs, Slack etc. manually everywhere you wanted to use it, deal with updates yourself and ask people you wanted to collaborate with to do the same. That makes no sense.

That's the way things worked for years, and the way most software still works (except through app stores) and it wasn't a madhouse of anarchy and suffering, it was perfectly fine.

Installing software "manually everywhere you want to use it" implies installing it once in 99% of cases, maybe twice in most of the rest, where "install" is a trivial process. Businesses will require that everyone use the same set of installed software, so that's not even an issue to begin with. It's not unreasonable to expect people to have a PDF reader, or Adobe software if you're working in graphics, for instance, or for Windows users to be able to read Windows documents.

Plus... you do know native software can handle automatic updates and security patches as well, right? And if you don't think people can share documents or collaborate easily with native software, I mean, that's been a thing since Napster and IRC. FTP and USENET. SAAS didn't solve any of those problems, because they were never problems.

China uses biometrics and digital scanning 'data doors' to track Muslim minority
> Families are separated when citizens commit crime

You're equivocating civil and criminal law. Illegal (re)-entry is a civil offense, as it's not directed against a person.

Anyway, the controversy is specifically about the recently implemented Family Separation Policy[1] and the fact that the government claims it does not have the desire or ability to reunite families[2]. This is very new and what most people are outraged about.

Especially since its being used as a political cudgel, as illegal immigration has been declining precipitously for well over a decade[3] with existing measures in place.

The whole debate does have a tinge of irony: illegal European immigrants flooded across the Canadian border, to avoid quotas, after immigration reform passed in the early 20th century; their ancestors are now complaining about the same acts.

It's so weakly enforced that it's hardly a realistic impediment anyway.
> will need to learn libraries

which is easier for me personally, because the calls to the libraries are generally very much in keeping with the core language syntax, whereas the decorations can be very much a framework specific deviation. I can generally easily identify calls to libraries, whereas I cannot guess easily at the consequence of a particular decoration I have never encountered before.

Look up the sheep prion disease scrapie.
It’s been around a lot longer than mad cow (1700s) and likely continues to arise spontaneously.

The protein structure needs to have a mutation which gives it a propensity to occasionally misfold. That creates a chain reaction.
If this happens at a low enough rate then the underlying protein may become widely distributed in the population, and then it may only take a chance mutation or misfold to cause the cascade

The reality is we don’t know what the prime mover in any of these conditions are. Likely some combination of random occurance and possibly some other mechanism as well. For example, CJD comes from mad cow - so mad cow is transmissible, but scrapie seems to both arise spontaneously in flocks and be transmissible between sheep
The BBC has suffered a lot from the Savile scandal back in 2012. Many executives were fired and new ones were hired straight from mainstream media, breaking the old impartiality that made BBC a trustworthy source.

They lost Top Gear because they started under funding their biggest show. BBC studios here in Twickenham got redirected to push for a political agenda.

As the company became unprofitable under a new administration, things became quite unstable and even today they still are. So many things going wrong that people can't find what to tackle first.
MS saw it coming, enjoyed some brief success with OEMs like htc around 2004, and then Android and IOS steamrolled over it by the 2008-2010 time frame. Sitting ducks basically.

I worked at Nokia back in the day. Nokia knew this as well (I read the internal mailing lists, this was debated and speculated on heavily) and they did not act in time either.

2005 was in retrospect the key moment to act. Neither Nokia nor MS managed to do the right things. Apple and Google did. This was not exactly a secret except it did not translate into meaningful action.

Worse, Nokia actually shut down several projects that in retrospect could have saved their ass when it was handed to them by Apple in 2007 with the iphone launch. E.g. S90 (touch UI for S60) was killed in favor of S60 (no touch whatsoever until 2008) in 2005. Then in 2007 they went "oh fuck" and tried to bring it back on S60 ultimately resulting in a prematurely launched device that was everything the iphone wasn't (slow, ugly, unstable, etc.). Subsequent attempts to fix it yielded no results. Bringing in windows phone years later was an act of desperation.

Likewise Debian linux on tablets and phones was a thing in 2005 already. E.g. the N700 and N800 tablets shipped with it long before the ipad or iphone were a thing. Google ff-ing prototyped Android on these devices even before they shipped their nexus phone. Also, the chrome browser that made Android so successful? Guess what, Nokia had a webkit port for S60 in 2005 already. Google literally built Android/Chrome ecosystem on top of R&D done by Nokia (kernel drivers and optimizations, browsers, and other low level linux stuff).

I'm pretty sure MS has similar stories of death by management. Balmer was the key person in charge at MS throughout this.

2005 is also the same year that AJAX browser apps started displacing desktop UIs at a no doubt alarming rate for MS.

By the time MS was trying to push windows phone, their windows only development stack was a huge part of their problem. They needed developers to write apps for windows phone; especially developers already successful on IOS and Android. Only problem: all the IOS developers were on Macs (because Apple). And many of the Android developers were too (because they were pretty awesome). A windows laptop was a really hard sell to developers at the time because, well, they kind of sucked. Google was actively trying to compete with MS and still best friends with Apple so, the two of them created a developer friendly ecosystem outside of the MS bubble.

Because their developer ecosystem sucked, windows phone lacked apps, and therefore it flopped. Techies matter if you are a tech company trying to create and push new tech. If you are milking cobol, vb6, or some other ancient crap: fire all the techies. Basically, that's what IBM and Oracle did. Techies used to love IBM stuff. Not any more. Lets not talk about just how much they loathe Oracle at this point.

So techies not only matter but losing them cost Balmer his job and regaining their trust is a huge part of Nadella's current success.
As a German, I can't follow you about our out of control spiraled energy costs.

Yes, the EEG made electricity more expensive [0], it also didn't help that energy companies abused regulatory loopholes to fill their own pockets.

But nobody can expect large scale changes like this to be free, somebody gotta pay for this and I'm absolutely willing to pay for this because in the long-term it will be worth it.

It's also my understanding that electricity exports ain't a one-way street between France and Germany, electricity exports and imports are on a pretty similar level [1].

Imho the real problem currently is a lack of proper storage technologies and infrastructure, so we can fully utilize our renewable capabilities, but I'm hopeful that we will also get there.

This looks like a great article and not highly specific to Azure. It is a tutorial for Azure AKS, sure, but while you do use AKS for the cluster management and Azure services for a few things like DNS, you've taken us all the way through installing nginx-ingress and are not using or even mention the ingress addon from Azure.

I don't mean this as critical feedback! I love the article and will go over it reading in a bit more detail later, but that one thing I noticed off the top of my head made me want to ask why not use the provided nginx-ingress addon?

(I can think of a few reasons why myself, but if you are OP, I thought it might be better to ask why _you_ did this rather than just throwing in my own $0.02.)

We have a large collection of these letters pinned to the wall at our office. Not sure how they got our address but we don't watch broadcast TV so of course don't need a TV license. They're more than welcome to visit anytime to confirm.

I'd much rather the money that I (willingly) pay for my home TV license went towards improving content and broadcast infrastructure than going straight into the pockets of utter scum like Capita.

Whilst there have always been loony left, misandrist etc. articles in the Guardian (I speak having read it regularly since the 80s) I'd argue that to make their supporter model work they've had to drop their editorial standards lower still.
Great resource! I have used PostgeSQL since, well forever. And I didn’t know the advice on text storage. Shame on me, but now I know.
I'd happily pay to get access to the full BBC catalogue - in fact I'd probably find more to watch there than I do on Netflix & Amazon (which I already subscribe to).
If they are recent books (from about 1980) then they probably have a barcode on the back cover, so use that. My guess is that it won't be worth trying to automatically recognise older books from the cover: a lot of them had a dust jacket, that goes missing, and a cover under the dust jacket that is not at all distinctive. The title might be on the spine, but how many online images show the spine clearly?
Cloud is unnecessary with the kind of hardware backed crypto being used now. Apple's setup with iOS in particular given the strong app-based containerization and granularity of keys would be well suited to allowing users to define conditionals for decryption that go beyond passwords, like GPS, time, network connections, or any other data input. Coercion inputs could also fit into this (both biometric and alternate codes). I'd love it if they allowed the creation of "views" where only certain apps (and associated data) could be accessed, cryptographically enforced. But the data would still be there on the phone, so it'd work fine with no cellular and be instant and in turn convenient.

It would usefully have applications far beyond mere border privacy (usefully because it wouldn't just be a "border check evasion" thing at all). It would just plain be good for security period first of all, if sensitive applications just autovanished while traveling it'd further reduce the risk of a device being stolen or someone being held up and coerced. But also important, and related to growing concerns about overuse of devices, it would allow device owners to reduce mental load, clutter and temptation by recreating the lines between various parts of our lives that have been blurred. I'd love to be able to have "views" for work, working out, travel, and home (even times of day at home) where some stuff vanishes and thus isn't tempting. Work apps could vanish off hours, news apps and games except for limited times of day, etc.

> However, the operating profit excludes cash payments of between £25-30m for capital costs and other business expenditures, which are an annual draw-down from the Scott Trust, of which The Guardian is part. If these annual costs were included, The Guardian would still be loss-making

At first, I misinterpreted this to mean they're counting money granted by a wealthy donor as profit. And without that, they would still be losing money. But, as clarified in the comments below, the Guardian is actually paying the Scott Trust. Also the Scott Trust owns The Guardian. Forgive my confusion. This isn't a straightforward relationship.

> Nevertheless, the operating profit marks the completion of a three-year plan that few observers thought likely to succeed, and which leant heavily on a - for British media at least - eccentric business decision to ask readers to contribute financially for something they could get for free.

So the business model is asking users for a donation? This sounds more like a non-profit to me.

I guess this is better than bleeding millions/year but we can hardly call this a good business.
Nope. That's a bad accident waiting to happen.
BBC became quite unprofitable since the Savile scandal,with the change in management and direction the company became a bit lost. That's why quality of the shows dropped and they lost a lot of the money that came through them via BBC World.

That's why the BBC is already selling out their assets and removing access to british citizens that already paid for the shows in the first place.
If you use LibreOffice then you can make a spreadsheet into a "database source" and query it with SQL. That seems like a good interim, you can move sheets and make them external tables as you grow in confidence/knowledge.

At least you could 10 years ago, very easily (it was OOo.org I was using then I think) - I made a simple customer record system just 4 or 5 tables but the address "table" was a kind-of view of the spreadsheet for email-merge.

Presumably Excel and others do this too.
