Maybe you're relatively young, but I'd wager the old heads among us remember the days when these things were settled out at the bike racks. So that worry was already happening, and had been happening for a very long time.

Decriminalization (which is subtly different than legalization) of drugs isn't in conflict with preventing addiction and abuse by treating these as health problems, which is what they actually are.

The opioid epidemic was in significant part pushed forward by the unscrupulous marketing of prescription opioid manufacturers, and further catalyzed by the declining socioeconomic conditions in the areas most affected by the epidemic.
Courts in Germany have ruled that you can not add additional clauses to a contract after the contract has been signed, e.g. the purchase has been made.

So unless Hetzner is buying directly from nvidia, nvidia has no way to enforce such a clause. And when I buy a nvidia card at any retailer in Germany, I will not have to sign a contract that obligates me to not use it in a data center - heck I can just take the box off the shelf and pay in cash without having to sign anything.

So anything they put into the EULA is void as it is only known after the time of purchase.
Wasn't it forbidden by the driver licence to use 1080 on cloud ? Nvidia tries to bully you to buy ultra expensive Tesla card for that. Maybe the germans don't care ?
thanks Obama, what a great healthcare reform it was
I’ll probably get downvoted for this, but a strong argument can be made that the European welfare state has only been made possible due to massive US defense subsidies and economic stimulus during the post WWII/Cold War. This doesn’t mean that the US has a good excuse for relatively poor domestic social services vis a vi many European states, but let’s also be real about what allows Germany, France, etc to provide “free” healthcare and other social subsidies.

In the particular case of Germany, defense spending is only 1.2% (this stat is easily found via google). I’d rather have Pax Americana (which arguably is in decline) over the past 70 years providing stability in Europe, helping to lift hundreds of millions of East Asians out of agrarian subsistence, etc than slightly cheaper healthcare. Although, tell that fact to someone who receives huge, opaque medical bills for simple procedures in the US and they probably wouldn’t take too kindly to that line of reasoning...
> you deserve to have your privacy obliterated by a huge private corporation

You don't have a smartphone? Or a laptop with a mic and/or cam but no hardware switch?

I have one of these things precisely because it is not as easy to overlook as a smartphone's assistant app always listening in.
I moved from the EU to the US...

Toddler had a seizure (first and last ever). Called 911. $1300 for a 1.5 mile (per Google Maps) ambulance ride to the hospital plus a $300 bill just towards "medical care" for the ride (none actually given).

Then $800 for the ER, and a seperate $400 bill for the doctor (who sent us home after telling us to come back if more occurred but otherwise give child's tylenol and go see the child's pediatrician on Monday).

Did I mention that both the ambulance company and the hospital have a local monopoly? There's no price competition, no choice to be made, nor could there be in a medical emergency.

The problem with all of these is: If it happened again, I'm genuinely going to think "is this an emergency enough to justify a $2K medical bill?" That shouldn't be how medical treatment is decided.

The whole "capitalism will solve it" thing just isn't working. I cannot shop around for medical care, I cannot see prices, and insurance is $1300/month for essentially no benefit (except to turn prices from bonkers to incredibly high).
The problem is that it only takes some passive support to establish the system initially, but removing it takes the majority of people actively complaining.

Honest question: Where do people think those cookie banners come from?

Because, they aren't a dark pattern. They aren't a sneaky way to try to juice your engagement numbers. They didn't show up everywhere because growth hackers started getting jealous of the other guy's cookie banner. They are literally required by law, or at least many lawyers interpret the law in that way. The designers at my work really didn't want to make one, and especially didn't want it added to our site.

Nobody likes them. They came from lawyers.

IEO Marketing Guide: Strategies and the True Cost to Launch an IEO in 2019
How can you ensure the footage is kept "at the school" (as if that was sufficiently limiting the exposure of the footage)? Who has physical access? Is the surveillance system cloud based? How is the school's security? Are her superiors legally allowed to watch the footage to evaluate performance? Could those overbearing aggressive parents eventually demand access to the footage, and worsen the whole problem?

Are the childrens' parents aware of the consequences of the cameras? That every tiny little move in the formative phase of their children's lifes is recorded for all eternity, and that data generally tends to leak, and all kinds of entities want access?

It is data. People were surprised when 1980s-era USENET forum posts where made accessible a few years ago. Back then it was unfathomable that this data would be searchable and accessible or even relevant, but it was. Same with our data now: it will be analyzed in ways we cannot even imagine.

I am stunned by how quickly surveillance spreads.
Some people just need to find additional validation to prove to themselves they're doing the right thing. Don't worry about it.

I have no idea what they're talking about though. Installing qBittorrent takes about a minute, adding an RSS feed one minute more; that's it. I think I configured my setup about two years ago, the files just magically appear in whatever directory I asked them to.

How much more time does this consume compared to opening the web browser, going to <whatever streaming site>, and so on? I'd say, about 300% less.

Edit: to whoever is reading this, after pressing the downvote/flag button, please do the following: set up a VPN to any third-world country, go to your favorite streaming provider, and have a gander at the breadth and diversity of their catalog.

iOS Attention Correction Feature Enables Appearance of Eye Contact in FaceTime
I sympathize with your problem, and it feels that things would be easier were the courts not so screwed up. It was formerly the case (hundreds of years ago) that if your neighbor burnt your lawn, you could sue him. No lawyers needed. It's sad that's no longer an option. That's how negative externalities were addressed in the past. The advantage to this system was that it didn't require the incompetent, corrupt, moronic politicians to stick their grubby hands into every thing; problems could be addressed on a case-by-case basis rather than some pencil-pusher with no wit deciding he knows best for a large group.

I like your idea, but it depends on what you see as "the opposite". There's already an opposite in existence:

1) Not complain about adblock (ie. silently allow it instead of moaning).

2) Simply don't use cookies.

3) Don't mention app (which is often just an Electron frontend anyway) in any way.

4) Allow the website to be used without signing up.

These 4 examples used to be the default back in the early days of the WWW.

Race is a social construct and has to be addressed on those terms. Science isn't going to wipe it away with a magic wand and humans are very good at finding patterns and reasons for their tribalism, it should be no surprise that they can use science for that too.

There is nothing about science that automatically provides justice or equality....but it seems some behave as it might.
Generally it's cheap/poorly designed audio amplifier circuits. Even though modern PC audio is mostly digital, the final stage (getting sound out the speaker) is still analog. If the motherboard designer isn't careful about how they place/isolate/ground the analog audio circuitry, it can pick up some of the PC's stray high frequency noise which gets worse the more you turn up the volume since now the noise gets amplified too.

A work around if you have a motherboard that is particularly bad about this is to use the digital audio output (S/PDIF via an optical or RCA jack) to connect an external amplifier or you could stream it via software. This tends to only be an option if the machine is stationary and not terribly realistic for people with a laptop on the go.
Content filtering is draconian and fundamentally opposed to a free and open society.

Now, I'm not a supporter of current copyright laws as I think they are absolutely ridiculous as is, however, I disagree with your statement. It all depends on who is doing the filtering. Done correctly, content screening is a part of a free and open society. And with some care, sometimes it is required.

I am also going to assume that you are more referring to the entertainment industry than the "copyright industry" since the topic is content instead of, say, logos or toaster design.

If I had children, I'd really want age-appropriate filtering to be available and I understand someone wanting "wholesome" content for themselves. I simply don't want them choosing for me and I am not the one to choose for my spouse. In most cases, as long as I have control over what sorts of content filtering I'm good. I do think society should be free from rhetoric that puts others in danger (anti-vaxx) or that calls for dehumanizing or wiping out others or their religion in most cases (white supremacy, for example). I don't think we should be so open that our brains fall out, in other words.

But more to the point: All of that entertainment that was listed was made by someone. Likely many someones. So was the music people listen to in a store. And the art people look at in restaurants and people's homes.I completely understand people wanting to make money from their own work. When there is absolutely no screening, you get places that steal others work - music, art, entertainment, and so on - and make money from it. This might come in the form of making purses and coffee cups with art or someone getting taking your music and performing it for money. It is a real issue - and the "big industries" are not innocent of this. So yeah, if it is technologically possible for an entity to filter content based on these things, I can understand requiring it. Beethoven might not have been able to stop folks from memorising his music and playing it in a foreign land, but he would have had a chance with today's tech.

Content filtering itself isn't bad - and I post this on a site that filters content to a point - and it doesn't make the "copyright industry" bad. The copyright laws make the copyright stuff bad.

A surprising number would be able to add Irish, thanks to their descendency rules.

In that talk he literary says how he got names of files and variables.
IMO, the countries passport holders can travel should be weighted by: 1) their size and economic strength 2) attractiveness as a tourist destination.

For example, right now, Estonian and Polish passports have the same score. However, Estonians do not need visa to travel to the USA, while the Polish need it. This is arguably a significant difference.

How exactly countries should be weighted is a separate debate.

So if I open a new small business and want to advertise it on AdWords or elsewhere on the internet I have no recourse? Word of mouth is random and unreliable even if you have a good product. Advertising is a healthy and essential signalling mechanism to broadcast the availability of a new service and there is absolutely nothing morally wrong with it in its self. The non-benneficial side-effects like extensive user tracking and practices that drastically harm user experience however are bad and a seperate issue to be dealt with.

Not enforceable in Europe IIRC. So they rightfully don't care.
I'm late to this party but I just wanna add, boulos could be wrong or inaccurate and it wouldn't be a big deal. Those status updates are communications to customers, and thus tend to be more conservative. Inaccuracy is a much bigger deal there than the informal status here.

Sadly, the closer you are to the action of a thing like this (for example, I'm on NetInfra SRE and we were part of the group that put in place the current mitigations you're seeing work now), the less you can say without fear of subtle inaccuracy or releasing non-public information.
I think one of the most interesting and actionable takeaways from the previous discussions is that holders of weak passports with a US, Canada, or EU tourist visa gives tourist access to an increasing list of developing countries. The thinking seems to be, "If the US/UK/EU/Canada vetted the person, it's good enough for us, and that person would probably prefer to overstay in those places, not here." With visa validity periods trending upwards of 5-10 years, it's a good way to temporarily increase passport power.
If it helps, this is a very realistic portrayal of how privacy is degraded over time. Invading privacy has all sorts of practical applications. You can fight crime more effectively, and measure trends, and generally be more effective at all sorts of capitalism and statecraft. But, problems, and risks just pile up over time. Just think of what we could do for just one small sacrifice!
Zorax daily predictions. Full report
It's highly interesting to consider that none of your examples are actually originally native to the areas I suspect you're referring to. Dandilions, for example, come from Europe IIRC. Mesquite and cactus were moved in and became dominant with cattle trade. Thistles refer to many things, but almost certainly the weed you refer to is not native.
One problem here is that in-kernel self-modifying code is very expensive on current CPUs due to the synchronization and possible flushing involved. There's flushing because the various levels of instruction caching are, in general, not coherent in hardware, and there's flushing because you can't turn writable memory into read-only executable memory without flushing the writable TLB entries.
Truly brilliant. I confess I had to view source to figure out how to get to the second page (which I supposed is a form of UI in itself).
Postgres built up a whole separate infrastructure for BLOB storage, with a streaming API in/out of BLOBs et al; but after landing the TOAST-table logic, it became basically† obsolete—you can just use a regular TEXT or BYTEA column to achieve the same things now.

† BLOBs are still relevant in the cases where you have such huge data in each BLOB that you need to work with it in a streaming manner. But people don’t tend to build systems with this concern (i.e. object stores) on top of RDBMSes, so it’s pretty darn rare that anyone actually turns to Postgres’s BLOBs to solve a problem in practice.
> I always knew you can only install apps from the store on Apple devices

This couldn't be further from the truth. At least take the time to understand how the various platforms function before spewing inaccurate statements about them.

You've been able to side load apps on iOS since the App Store existed. The App Store has never been the "only" way to install apps.
No doubt. Insomnia is merciless. It's just that, for a lot of people, this approach will be out of their reach. Not that that means we shouldn't try to make it affordable, of course.
Freedom Fries
If you only use Plex infrequently it can be a bit of a power waster for a standalone server. But one of the really cool things about Plex is photo backups from your mobile devices. If you'd rather not have them up in a third party, then it's a really great solution. Also Plex has streaming audio options, though it could be better with audiobooks. My storage array for Plex is in the same place as my home back up so it's never really wasted for me since I store all my files in one location and just open them at whatever computer I'm at.
This also happens with posts from Facebook often. People just want to show the world how virtuous they are by not having accounts in popular networks, so they don’t even click the link but complain they can’t read the content. Reminds me of this:

> "temporarily displaced rich"

So many people in America believe this, that they would be rich or successful if it weren't for X. X is different based on race, gender, and geographic location but the sentiment is the same.

The reason politicians like Trump are so popular right now is that they're successfully speaking to that shared sentiment and not to any one specific issue.

The political parties are basically comprised of groups with non-conflicting sentiments who are willing to support each other's ideologies.
Huh. I was on a team that experimented with this a few years ago, and the results were so uncanny-valley that we quickly stopped going down the path -- despite it looking "real", people wound up looking like slightly possessed demons because there was something "just off" about their eyes. I mean, it seriously freaked us out.

I'm really wondering if/how iOS avoids this, or if it took a ton of extra work.

I had something that may have been related. In VLC with my old monitor (1920x1080) watching a film it would often flicker painfully. I found moving the mouse continually would make it smooth. A bit of python...

import ctypes, time

def move(x, y):
ctypes.windll.user32.SetCursorPos(x, y)

for x in range(10000000):
move(0, 0)
time.sleep(0.01)
move(1, 1)

... and all was well.

(When I upgraded to a 4K monitor things got worse and the cursor fiddle doesn't help).

Tech Stack: We spend most of our time in Python/Django and Javascript. Our frontend is mostly jQuery but we're planning to change that soon (we do a bit with both React and Vue, and would like to do more). Other things we work with daily/semi-daily include Postgres, ElasticSearch, MongoDB, Neo4j, Pandas, and Less.

We're a small team with good people, solid work-life balance, and interesting problems to solve. A lot of the job involves building new functionality around vendor integrations (Salesforce, Marketo, Google Analytics) and ingesting data from API providers (FEC, VoteSmart, KnowWho), as well as building out custom pages and dashboards for the public-facing site and for our home-grown CMS.

" it doesn't seem to be very upwardly mobile (you get taxed a lot so it's hard to accumulate capital when starting from mid level income for eg.)."

I don't think that's true. You can get free/cheap schooling and health care is always there for you. I would agree it's easier to move upward than in the US where it seems one of the big secrets for success is to have wealthy parents. Coming from Germany and now living in the US I am also not sure if the taxation in the US is that much lower when you add all taxes together. And if you or your partner has any serious health issue it's very likely that this will cost way more than any taxes you pay less.
I agree, it is normalizing surveillance such that the kids grow up expecting there to be camera everywhere and accepting it.
