The fact that, in the US, high fructose corn syrup is so prevalent, proves that the US government does not have people's health in mind whatsoever. The war on drugs isn't about morality or health, it's about control. They just claim it's about morality and health to convince people to support it.

Hm. So there is some magic to avoid all roc calls and pub/subs going through dapr?

Eg: if I have a thousand users subscribed to a channel - only setup would involve dapr, and the rest would be dependent on my pub/sub queue manager (eg: plain redis, or rabbitmq) keeping up?

But from the [ed: dapr api microservice component] consumer viewpoint it's just "ask dapr for subscription", "ask dapper to broadcast a message" - and you're off to the races?
Thing is, neutrinos hardly interact with anything at all, we need huge sensors just to detect a few signals once in a while so they would be na horribly inefficient way to capture energy.

More wildly outrageous statements. Separating a mother from her child at the border hand-wave, hand-wave and tada before you know it you're gassing millions. I won't dignify these absurd statements with responses anymore.
I think you're talking about fads. Fads are a bit different than movements. Vegetarianism and not wearing fur are more like fads than they are social movements. Social movements fundamentally change a society.

And because they fundamentally change societies, they rarely have advocates who are "popular" or have "gravitas". If a social movement is a real social movement, then it does more than change what coats people wear to school. (Changing what clothes people wear happens every year. In fact, they made a whole industry out of it changing every year. The fashion industry.)

No, a social movement has the potential to threaten changes to everything, right down to the actual people in power at the top of a society.

If the people in the society generally accept the social movement as collectively beneficial, then the social movement becomes mainstream societal belief, and over time, will integrate into what we would call that society's "culture". If the people in the society generally reject the social movement, that's when you usually have a war.

For instance, republicanism was a social movement in France, but it's proponents could not get enough people to accept it as a good idea. The proponents refused to give up on the idea and it eventually resulted in war and the Reign of Terror. (Which, ironically, eliminated all of the ideas proponents.) France is now on its Fifth Republic at last count. (Not surprisingly, the Fifth Republic is one that had the support of the populace.) Similarly, the communist movement in Czarist Russia. Not enough accepted it. War ensued, which enabled the proponents to force communism on the people. Then the people got rid of it in the 1990s.

There are also movements that are accepted by the populace. Gandhi's radical idea of universal suffrage in India was readily accepted by legions of people on the Sub-Continent, and eventually, the British simply had to leave.

In all of these cases, those in power were staunchly opposed to the social movements in question. Obviously because those movements threatened not only their power, but to change, effectively, everything in society that even enabled their power.

Veganism, Vegetarianism, anti-fur, etc, those kinds of things just don't rise to the level of movements in my mind because they don't threaten to fundamentally change society in that fashion. There is no threat that the people making decisions if we eat veggies, would be different than the people making decisions if we eat meat. The societal structure remains in place in either case.

It certainly seems on-point.

"A loud clatter of gunk music flooded through the Heart of Gold cabin as Zaphod searched the sub-etha radio wavebands for news of himself. The machine was rather difficult to operate. For years radios had been operated by means of pressing buttons and turning dials; then as the technology became more sophisticated the controls were made touch-sensitive - you merely had to brush the panels with your fingers; now all you had to do was wave your hand in the general direction of the components and hope. It saved a lot of muscular expenditure of course, but meant that you had to sit infuriatingly still if you wanted to keep listening to the same programme."

This is from 1979 of course.
It's not a lawsuit that people are afraid of. It's potential action from financial regulators, who are famously inflexible and disinterested in being nice to open source software developers in genuine financial need.

Parties like Google and Apple are well aware of the potential consequences, and thus are similarly inflexible and disinterested in being nice to a fairly small group of use-cases that exposes them to an outsized amount of risk.

It's really, deeply unfortunate. It's incredibly painful for everyone who has to deal with this bureaucratic bullshit. Unfortunately, it being bullshit doesn't make it less real or less reasonable.

An easy way to let people know how to donate without links is just use plaintext on a page.

At the bottom of an “About” page:

Paypal: email-adress

Venmo: open-source-proj-maker

BTC/ETH: <address>

If someone is not a 501(c)3 org and just a solo person, why do donations have to go through a particular website link?

It seems like the same thing (getting money) can be accomplished without needing to use links from an app.
Long-tail damage to governments and hospitals is definitely part of it - there's very little upper bound on how much ransomware can cost if you botch the response badly enough. And given how much ransomware simply doesn't decrypt if you pay, there's no reason the ransom prices should have any real correlation to the damage inflicted.

The other part of it appears to be some slightly funny calculations. If ransomware shuts down Target's online store for a day, Target might compute the loss based on 24 hours of no revenue, but purchases that go to Amazon, or to Target a day later, shouldn't be added into total "damage". The dollar value being computed there is something more like disruption.

After reading so many similar stories, here is what Google/Apple/etc should, in my opinion.

If an automated process blocks/bans/rejects something, then the message to the developer MUST say "Our automated scanner discovered..."

Any time something is blocked/banned/rejected, the message to the developer MUST explain exactly why. In the case of this article: "Your update was rejected due to a link to a third party payment system. This violates section N of our terms. The link we detected was <insert link here>."

There should be two kinds of appeal processes. Automated, and manual. You should be able to appeal or resubmit to the automated process as often as you need to.

The manual process should involve real time communication between the developer and an appeal agent. Via phone or chat. To prevent the system from being overloaded, only allow developers a few free appeals, then start charging a fee.

Developer accounts should only be fully banned after multiple manual appeals and the appeals agent determining that the developer is operating in bad faith. Automated processes should never be able to fully ban an account. It must involve a real person. Full bans also must include a detailed email to the developer explaining exactly why they have been banned.

The biggest, and most important, change these companies really need to make is including exactly WHY something happened. No more of these general "you violated our TOS" without any explanation of how the TOS was violated messages.
Open source or free software was at no point defined as charity/zero-price/volunteer/hobbyist software. It is simply a question of the license. You can be a business, you can make money, you can employ professional programmers and create open source / free software.

What about my comment is FUD?

Regardless of the fact that builds are reproducible, F-Droid has infrastructure. How is that infra secured? How are the servers that store signing keys secured? How are the build servers accessed? How is the access secured?

Okay, so the builds are reproducible -- is someone maintaining a concurrent system that verifies reproducibility and provides notification of a collision when things don't match up with built and served binaries?

> I also have reservations on how peoples information is collected and stored when they buy said porn pass which could have far reaching negative consequences.

I'd wager a good deal of money on betting that the conservative minded people pushing this legislation are also likely ones who consume a great deal of the content this legislation is aimed at.

I tend to wonder:

Do they have to buy said "passes" as well, or are they allowed to "opt out", so to speak?

I'd better the latter is more likely than the former, but it raises the question of what makes them so darn special? Of course, they'd probably claim they don't need it anyhow, as they are (somehow) of higher moral character (or some such rubbish) and would -never- consume such content anyhow...

If something like this actually gained traction and went on to become law, it wouldn't be very long until one or more of the legislators who pushed for it found their internet browsing history out in the public sphere.

Sad thing, though? Given today's seeming apathy, and in some cases acceptance and encouragement, of such activity by our public servants, likely nothing would happen to them politically or publicly.

It's a sickening form of Animal Farm we are currently living in.

How do current ground wired customers like their internet provider? On the whole, they don’t.

What percentage of the world population has internet access of any kind? of land area? of anything over 1Mbps? Huge untapped markets there.

I see this building up like onset of digital photography: nobody expected supplanting film & paper, yet the whole world switched seemingly overnight. Kodak went from most valuable brand to “who?” fast.

Once people see Starlink working fast, reliably, and anywhere they’ll switch en masse. Personally, as a 100% telecommuter, the only thing stopping me from moving where I want is internet connectivity.

One billion customers divided by 40,000 Starlink satellites is a very manageable 25,000 users each. Sometime please run the numbers on supporting 100Mbps for each, plus latency. Given that, I expect a huge migration of customers.
The parent comment self-defined it as "where the land naturally meets the sea." That's called the coast. So all coastline is rare and off limits?

Wow, that brings back memories. I travelled that road twice a week, most weeks, for about 2 years. I had almost blocked this from my memory!

I don’t know that Verb-Noun is great design but I’m not convinced Noun-Verb would be any better; take your example and get rid of Set- and simply press <tab> right from the start - you have exactly the same problem of dozens of entries if you don’t know the noun you are looking for, changing the order hasn’t improved that, has it?

(In reality it’s slightly less clear because tab would then have to show you other file names, executables, batch files, etc. names, at least Set- narrows it down to cmdlets to do with setting).
Tangental: Reminds me how buttons in various places (I've noticed this in elevators and POS terminals) beeps when you press them. However, the beep is not really tied to the CPU registering the event but rather the button itself being pressed. Ie, sometimes when you press the button, it clearly beeps, but nothing happens. Not sure if it's a result of underspecification or cheaping out on the electronics or both.
> I won't dignify these absurd statements with responses anymore.

That's fine by me.

Note that people weren't gassed by the millions 'at once' nor by a single individual. And note that nobody did all of the work required to gass a single individual either. It was all little steps where everybody could claim it wasn't them that gassed the Jews. And that's exactly what is happening here. Same principle; same outcome; so far different level of severity.

But you can take this to the bank: if the government greenlights summary execution of illegal immigrants through some diffuse responsibility means there will be plenty of people willing to sign up to do the deeds.

Given your other comments in these threads you seem to be of the opinion that by drawing analogies like these we are diminishing what was done to the Jews. That is definitely not the intention. What is the intention is to point out that there is the potential for a repeat, and that this is exactly how it could happen.

We've all got our anecdotes, of course, but I every time I replaced a CTE, cursor, or temp table sproc with an easier to read Merge statement performance skyrocketed. It wasn't even a fair challenge because all the CTEs and cursors were written WITH (NO LOCK) because who needs consistency or transactions, but yet Merge was faster with locks and transactions than CTEs avoiding them (and kowtowing to the local "we use NO LOCK in these parts" culture left them nearly "instantaneous").

Obviously, you have to watch your execution plans and make sure everything is indexed accordingly, because the guts of almost every Merge are a JOIN and if your database isn't set up for performant joins then of course you will hate Merge's performance.

And again, certainly anecdotal and a relatively long time ago in this industry's terms that I did any of that. But still something I'm fascinated by.

[ETA: Also, yes Merge is overpowered and underperformant for single row upsert, but as soon as you need bulk upsert, chef's kiss.]

It's hazardous at best to assume the state of something with so much variables.

As for continuing being GAFA advocate (while still thinking they should be compelled to open up "Stores" to competition), vertical integration provides enough economy of scale to achieve ever greater complex things. Also, 1) you can't just "break-up" any GAFA. They're just gonna move out of State and be welcomed somewhere else, and 2) what you're asking put Government in a very awkward position as setting up both enough regulations to block new players, but also blocking player to achieve a certain size. Finally, this argument is getting awfully close to the "broken window" fallacy. You can't just "create competition" out of thin air.
Yup, that's how the Open Application Model is implemented for Kubernetes. The OAM spec format closely resembles the spec format for Kubernetes resources so if you use Kubernetes it should already feel familiar. But it can be implemented by any platform.

The idea is to define a standard model for describing distributed applications, so as you go from one platform to another, you get a consistent way of doing things. The actual features that are exposed through the model can be different on each platform that implements it (e.g., platform A has a basic autoscaler, platform B has an advanced autoscaler, etc), but the way you describe and operate the application is consistent.

disclaimer: I'm one of the spec authors
