I really wish the Jewish populations of Warsaw had known this. If only they had called on the professional law enforcement to help them! And then the Tutsi made the same mistake in Rwanda 50 years later - shouldn't people have learned by then?

Point is, sometimes it's the "professional law enforcement" that's coming to kick your face in, and asking them to defend you doesn't work so well. And even when they aren't the ones doing the kicking, their priorities might not match yours - as Koreatown found in the LA riots.
So it turns out that if you turn the volume all the way down to zero, it pauses playback. And if you turn it up again, it starts playing. I didn’t test whether navigation messages from Maps can still be heard. Not perfect as it takes a few seconds to do when you might need an immediate pause to avoid distraction, but it’s probably good enough for me.
Thanks! Appreciate you giving it a look.

By experience a lot of money all at once causes a boom and bust, but we can take a step back and think how much should we release at once, what combination of entities should be deciding to do the release, and while our system is currently girded against releasing too much, we may be actually suffering from systematically releasing too little money right now.

Not sure what's sarcastic about it. I only shop at places where I can pay by phone. More secure, faster, and I get an instant receipt from Google Pay no matter what. I carry no credit cards on me, and it's one less thing to worry about if I lost my wallet. And a lot of the time, I go out without carrying even a wallet.

Going to court twice to get Google to pay $0 in damages and not reinstate your account doesn't sound like "the easiest thing" to me. It's at best a Pyrrhic victory.

I get the desire to impose costs on Google for their bad actions, but this doesn't seem like a very productive plan.
rm -rf is not actually bad.

rm -rf / as root ( to what you refer) will run until it runs into the proc file system but it too is not bad if that is what you want to do ... and as root you have the ability to make that choice.

As president you have the ability to make the choice to declassify anything.

As president you have the ability to choose to murder people via the military for 60 days without congressional approval

Perhaps the better question is "Why does the president have so much power ? "

Maybe supermarkets and their suppliers could stop selling bulk quantities at a huge discount? You can sometimes be paying double the price per kilo for the smallest packet, so you end up picking up the bigger packet thinking you're saving money, but how much will end up spoiling before you get around to using it? Supermarkets also often have specials where if you buy multiple packets you save a few dollars.

Besides, it does appear to be a corner case. It has ~200 upvotes. Gmail has 1.5 billion users.

That's 1 in 7,500,000.

If every single one of them quits using Gmail, and they tell all of their friends, and all of their friends quit using Gmail, Google will still be able to tell their paying customers that those ads reach 1.5 billion users.

That said, topics are a bit like tags and a bit like sub-channels and if you could combine these qualities, you might have a nice merger of the approaches.

calling these things a trade "war" is, IMHO, not all that useful. it doesn't help us much to understand the phenomenon. in a true war, people are actively killing other people, and violently destroying infrastructure and capturing geographical territory. many many lives are lost quickly.

IMHO, we might better call it a tax hike, a new regulatory regime, new trade restrictions, a rebalancing of domestic priorities, an attempt by government to increase or reduce a trade deficit, or something else. and we may well decide it's foolish and bad and stupid. but it's not really a war in the true sense.

There may be more avenues left to try with your current hardware, before you make a choice:

Check to makes sure you're running a distro with recent enough Xorg/linux kernel (but not so bleeding edge stuff like libinput-gestures isn't supported). Also if you use integrated graphics, life may be easier since you can pick between Wayland and Xorg to find which DM supports inputs best in your case.

Xorg drivers: https://github.com/p2rkw/xf86-input-mtrack

libinput: https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/index.ht...

libinput-gestures: https://github.com/bulletmark/libinput-gestures (example: https://gist.github.com/SkyBehind/d664448838d065428eded7eb6d...)

Gnome extension with some gesture edgecases: 3-finger swiping to different windows like macOS: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1253/extended-gesture...

Also if you really like trackpads and want a consistent experience, you can get a logitech t650 / apple magic trackpad and share your configuration for libinput/etc. across machines.

Edit: I reread and noticed you're trying to stay away from apple hardware. You could try logitech's trackpad, but apple magic trackpad may be better a la carte. If you did I'd recommend using via USB w/ bluetooth off to avert pairing headaches

Melting it into glass or something? Might not be practical due to extremely high temps required.

One of the most painful sex scenes I've ever read was in one of Asimov's books. It was two scientist sorts trying to talk clinically about their attraction to each other...

>For one, they're a sign that people are probably living beyond their means, buying things they don't need.

Nope, buying an SUV indicates nothing about living beyond means. It’s better to have one SUV than two priuses. And again, 1-2k a year in gas is hardly a dent in car ownership costs.

$4 is super rare to never for most of the US and so is the super commuter stupid enough to drive an SUV for their super commute.

>Then gas prices go up, and they all whine about how much they're paying for gas, so they trade in their SUVs for smaller vehicles. Then gas prices go down again and they all run out and buy big SUVs again. It's idiotic.

That does sound stupid, good thing it’s now how anyone actually functions. Most popular SUVs today are the smaller ones that get twice what a Tahoe or whatever of 15 years ago would have gotten.

I suspect the issue is that your model is based on observed people in places with lower costs of gas and living and applying the costs of some big west coast metro to that lifestyle. That’s about the only idiotic thing going on here.

Here’s a tip: if you find yourself in a scenario where you think people are wasting buckets of money for no particular reason on a massive scale, you’re probably wrong.
Entity is already a common term in games that seems to mostly capture this distinction and seems like a better fit than unum too.
I also think regulation is important. Like energy markets, some software, particularly communication systems, favor big players due to network effects.

So regulators should prevent anticompetitive behaviors such as what happened with Google Talk. When Google Talk was a new product, it was a fantastic XMPP implementation. They even contributed the Jingle extension to implement VoIP.

Once they became a dominant force, XMPP federation was removed effectively making it impossible to communicate with Gmail accounts from other providers. Later on, with the transition to Google Hangouts, XMPP was replaced by a proprietary protocol making it impossible to use even a different client other than Google's.
This isn't usually done, because node_modules often contain machine specific (e.g. 32-bit vs 64-bit x86) or OS specific (e.g. Linux vs Mac) compiled native code.

> With all due respect, I feel this is a lack of imagination. We could have said the same thing about soup kitchens, or basic income, or social welfare, or anything else that doesn't cleanly draw profit.

Those are all driven by charity for the destitute. It’s not meant to be a patronage paid to starving artists. On the contrary the able bodied are expected to not draw from that well if they can provide for themselves so that more remains for the truly deserving.

> So yes, it doesn't work. At least not until we demand it does and distort the legal, social, and cultural frameworks around it.
As one solitary example, what about a shift to using copyfarleft licensing that only allows MIT-level freedom to nonprofits and co-operatives, while for-profit orgs pay fees instead of just leeching. This has the added bonus of shifting benefit to platform cooperatives, which governments are already starting to ideologically favour as we all see the gleaming metal edge of platform capitalism.

There’s no such thing as partial BSD style licensing. You’re either all the way there or you’re not. Favored status to non profits is no different than discriminating from “evil” usage.

I’m not saying one can’t do that, just that there’s no half measures. I make it a point to contribute to BSD style software that I actually use and explicitly do not contribute to “shared source” bullshit.

> There are a hundred more options if we believe building the commons is better than milking it dry.

I don’t see anything going dry. The system has worked fine till now. What’s changed is the unrealistic expectation of hand outs for something you’ve already agreed to give away for free.
i'm not sure about the specifics, but i applaud any attempt to return something to contributors.

There are difficulties as always. The most important I think is that it might discourage free contributions if the core developers got paid and no one else did.

Second most important is how to handle payments made to one project, when it uses similarly licensed software from another. If the purchaser had to pay double and the money were split we might have a new industry aggregating software.

If those hurdles weren't fatal, I might consider a simplified pricing model: say $X for commercial use, free for other uses, coupled with a system for handling the payments. Otherwise the payment part might be onerous.

I call my new license "Fee and Open" Source.
This is a good question.

A number of possible answers (and no, pilot skill not the only one - though everyone is focusing on that and boeing).

Maintenance.

This issue develops IF the computer gets bad data from a sensor.

Question - would this sort of thing get fixed more quickly in the US?

For the Ethiopian crash we have in days leading up to crash errors in the system - all different flights

* Capt side altimeter erratic, showed a decent and lower level then back to normal.

* During approach at 1000' the aircraft started to roll right with the auto pilot engaged.

* During approach at 8K altimeter rapidly descended and returned to normal - caused autopilot problems.

* During takeoff altitude and vert speed on both PFDs showed erratic indications

For Lion Air in days leading up an increase in warnings. Some excerpts.

* Speed trim fail light and mach trim fail light
* Auto throttle diconnect
* Speed and Alt flag
* Feel diff pressure - fail light illuminated
* Maintenance light illuminated during landing

Regulatory regime

What's the local situation in terms of check rides, maintenance monitoring and cross checks, airline procedure monitoring etc. Ethiopia has a relatively stronger reputation here.

Training

The memory item in this situation is basically a revert to manual flight. There is a possibility that manual flight is not as common in some countries, particularly if they don't have a large General Aviation pool to pull from. This is a concern in US as well (automation reliance).

The path to getting onto a jet in US is currently different than other places. To be a first officer takes 1,500+ hours and an ATP. That's a pretty high bar.

This is a design issue I think as well -> should Boeing reasonably consider that there may be differences between pilot groups in terms of training pathways. I would suggest obviously yes. Is the FAA at fault because other countries may choose different approaches? That's less clear to me. BTW the FAA did a terrible job for a while with small charter operators in financial distress with bad maintenance for example - so the FAA has blindspots but their Part 121 stuff has a good record so far.

The US system has had some amazing saves -> failures with airport bird control -> capt sully etc. Often these pilots aren't jet fighter pilots but have things like glider or small plane experience that is helpful. So systems break down in US, but saves happen.

My US worries are maintenance given cost pressures and actually Air Traffic Control (given fatigue and some weakening of standards there around new hiring).
That's mostly true these days although more people did used to just show up at borders and ports of entries, prior to the policy changes I mentioned.

There has been an uptick in recent years also, primarily from the US (but also some sea ports).
Do you have any evidence that all parties provided informed consent? i.e. The consent form detailed out what could happen in the (somewhat likely) event the data is breached and how the data may be used? What other parties have access to the information and how that information is stored? How the information is transmitted? And they understood it all, with the attached implications?

Considering the only words the person who oversees both high schools had to say on record was that the technology is "fairly safe", I am somewhat doubting that the parents had a fully formed view of what the potential downfalls of the program are if/when it is breached or misused, or even malfunctions.

I think when we are dealing with advanced tech such as facial recognition it is analogous to the informed consent issues doctors face. How can someone possibly obtain informed consent from non-experts over something that requires years of schooling to understand?
Sounds good in theory, but it seems like rich territory for mismatched types in the source and map files.

> This is exactly the intended "use case" of the card.

I'd say the intended use case of the Apple Card is have people using Apple Pay, not swiping/inserting the physical card. I'd bet putting it away in a filing cabinet is exactly what Apple was hoping most would do.
Everybody was informed and OK.... Except for the students they tracked, nobody asked them.
Sure, they are still minors, and it's up to the parents to decide what goes and what not. But by law the parents in Sweden (and a lot of other places around the world) have an obligation to act in the best interest of their children to their best ability.

I'd argue exposing their children to mass surveillance in school and face recognition was not in the best interest of the child. I'd go further and argue that the parents violated the GDPR themselves, by mishandling or allowing a third party to mishandle with parental consent the data of their kids. This was at least grossly negligent. If I was making the decisions about fines, I'd have fine the parents a minor fine, too, just enough to make them (and other parents reading about it) think about such things next time somebody comes around with an indecent proposal to collect their kids data.

Also, we place, in my opinion rightfully so, certain restrictions on individual choice and decisions. For instance, you cannot kill your neighbor for your pleasure even if they gave you informed consent. These restrictions are of course not set in stone, as e.g. the assisted suicide discussions show, or gay marriage.

There are certain areas that seem benign at first, like e.g. health care providers getting you to wear "health" monitoring devices for a reduction in premiums... until the reductions become so severe that you cannot really opt out anymore, if any health care provider will even take you after you opt out. Or "voluntary" drug tests to get a job, or when already employed. Everybody knows these dejure voluntary tests are defacto mandatory.

I'd argue that mass surveillance and even biometric processing in schools falls in this category too; looks somewhat benign in the beginning, until it isn't.
Recital 38:

"Children merit specific protection with regard to their personal data, as they may be less aware of the risks, consequences and safeguards concerned and their rights in relation to the processing of personal data."

Recital 43:

"In order to ensure that consent is freely given, consent should not provide a valid legal ground for the processing of personal data in a specific case where there is a clear imbalance between the data subject and the controller, in particular where the controller is a public authority and it is therefore unlikely that consent was freely given in all the circumstances of that specific situation."

A school cannot rely on consent as a lawful basis for processing the personal data of pupils.

There are definitely downsides - a gigantic git repo is a big one. Lengthy clones, far slower git operations, etc. Many projects I've seen go this route will exceed 10s or 100s of gigabytes pretty quickly, and git is very unhappy about sizes like that.
