Back in 2003 Apple touted a feature called “Home on iPod” being petr of the then up-coming OS X Panther that would have supposedly allowed one to carry one’s home directory around on an iPod and mount it on any system one could authenticate against.

It was pulled before it was released, however, and never heard from again. As far as I know, no justification was ever given.

I'd also recommend How I built Good First Issue bot with OpenFaaS Cloud by Rajat Jindal of Proofpoint. It's already used on repos from Docker, Microsoft, OpenFaaS, JetStack (cert-manager), and Google. It's a free SaaS, just add the label and it'll tweet out for you.

Bonus once you've added the label - it should be picked-up by GitHub's tool too.

It will not crash. There maybe a temporary double digit dip in prices described in hyperbolic "end of the world crash" terms to demand government intervention to prop up prices. But without large social-economic change, land/housing prices will quickly recover and continue to outpace wage growth and many other productive investments.

We have shifted to an economy that increasingly favors rent seeking in every field and land is quintessentially that. Even without that trend, land reform meets enormous resistance under any circumstances but given that shift, even more so now.

Note that we know people will endure housing conditions seen everywhere at all time up until the 20th century, and unless the people hurt[1] by this do something remarkably effective, that state of affairs is guaranteed to return: there is no invisible hand guaranteeing even one family per room let alone per unit.

From the article, it was found, reporter and fixed within 24 hours

Being fixed within 24 hours of being reported does not mean it was only available for 24 hours. It could have been 24 days or 24 months.

Amazing to imagine how back then, there must've been brokers or imperial court wizards / Game of Thrones style, who were the few that knew about such places where magical materials would come from and only have the smallest inkling of what those properties meant. And those materials would travel thousands of miles secreted in pouches to find their way to someone worthy of the rarity.

And today, you can buy any of those things for a few $ off the internet and have it delivered to you.

US high school enrollment increased 1-2% every year from 1990 to 2007, after which it went down, not recovering for a decade.

The median first home purchase is at 33 currently.

Combine those two facts and you have demand for a first home peaking between 2035-2040. Add on top of that the older boomer generation peak dying or otherwise vacating homes and the effects of significant immigration backpressure and you have yourself a housing crash which will likely get priced into the market before these peaks happen.

That could well be round two as it is far enough in the future, the first round being the current global political breakdown and long running bull market reaching a tipping point.

But, he did shut down fast breeder fuel work, without which there can't be any fast breeder reactors. Google for "GNEP Obama" and "MOX Obama" to find evidence.

I'd like to point out as well that the two reasons why nuclear costs so much is the rather grotesque level of government regulation and the lack of production volume caused by aforementioned regulation. It costs a lot of money to build only a few instances of a bespoke design. It costs a lot less per unit to build dozens or hundreds of instances of the same design. And I know you will try to put words in my mouth, so here's a preemptive strike: no, I'm not against government regulation in nuclear. I'd just like to see it brought forward to the realities of the technology we have now rather than what we had 50 years ago.

Point being, if we really did want to solve climate change without shutting down the economy and pushing globalist agenda, nuclear energy would be too cheap to meter by now. The fact that nuclear is not being seriously pursued tells you all you need to know about who's serious about climate change and who sees it only as a means to an end.

I'd like to make a prediction here: in his second term, Trump will push Gen IV nuclear so hard, you wouldn't believe it. It's politically pernicious to push it before re-election, but after, there's no reason not to pursue a tractable, technological avenue towards reducing emissions. Big beautiful coal will die a natural death, and so will (eventually) fracking and natural gas, if this happens.
To me the answer to that question is another question - "what market share does IE11 still have amongst our target users, how fast is it decreasing, and what's the development effort required to support it?"

Where? In high demand areas? Sure. Supply is limited in NYC or SF. But those areas are becoming outliers where buying in (so to speak) is less available.

Or what about trying to sell in 2009 or 2010? People weren't foreclosing because they were in the black.
"Idiomatic" depends on language and domain and era and purpose. Consider the dgemm method in BLAS (double general matrix multiply, powers all sorts of modern code like numpy). It's such a workhorse, used by everything under the sun. But it does one thing. It multiplies two matrices of doubles. You're going to want to optimize the hell out of it and ensure it's correct, then never revisit it. It's been around (in the exact same form as far as I can tell) nearly as long as I've been alive. The right, idiomatic code for that is going to look different from the right, idiomatic code for something at the business logic level that changes every 6 months. It does it a disservice to shit on it like you are.
Interestingly, the point of terrorism is to wreak massive changes on societies. The total death toll of all terrorist attacks in the U.S since 1970 is 3781; that compares to 3836 killed in the Iraq War; 36,500 killed annually in car accidents; and 291,557 killed by WW2. In terms of risk to our physical persons, the terrorists suck at it.

When Sept 11 happened the popular meme for why we were attacked was "Because they hate our freedom." On a strategic level, they're doing a dramatically good job at winning: look at how much our freedom has been curtailed since then. And they can do it without touching an American; rather, the fear of what they might do provokes the U.S. government into destroying our freedom for them.

(A secondary goal for Osama bin Laden was to bankrupt America, something they are also winning at: since 2001 the U.S. national debt has grown from $6T to $23T.)
False dichotomy. Ongoing actuation requires memory of the past, period. Even if that memory is created in an instant, dispelled after the fact, and otherwise inaccessible.
That's a very valid point to bring up but I think it makes a big mistake in assuming that people would rationally respond to the risk.

People are pretty terrible at rationally evaluating risk and participate in provably harmful actions all the time - going to vegas or playing the lottery to spend some money and feel like a rich person for a while is totally valid, but playing the slots or the lottery to make money for your retirement is completely irrational. And yet, folks will play the lottery in the hopes they can retire more comfortably - even when their financial situation isn't so dire that structured saving wouldn't give them their desired level of comfort.
Those are publicly known cases and just normal counter terrorism investigations. This isn't applicable to clandestine US surveillance as seen in the FISA courts. FISA courts very much fall into "US surveillance" law but are kept secret.

Again, if it Apple were in fact creating their own key pairs on their server and sending users the key pair, don’t you think someone would have discovered.

Covering up is not always technically possible. It’s easy to expose data through some unprotected end point, but that end point might still be logged, and turning off the logging/deleting the logs might be a completely different challenge.
I feel like the comparison to adults talking to each other ... and someone grooming someone underage.

Yeah screw that.

I had a Macbook Pro 15" literally catch on fire and melt the keyboard. However - some time prior I had spilled a little on the keyboard, which apparently had triggered a liquid detector in the unit.

While these events were not related, Apple held on to the machine for almost two months, then told me they recognized the safety issue of my machine catching fire (while I was asleep) but because a liquid sensor had gone off - They could offer me a new machine at full retail price.

And this was DURING THE TIME THEY ISSUED A RECALL FOR THAT SPECIFIC MODEL CATCHING FIRE!

OpenStreetMap's definition of Beaverton is quite complicated: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/423111
It includes several cut-outs for neighborhoods (including Cedar Hills) and other features. I'd guess that the OSM mappers were trying to represent a particular legal definition of the Beaverton city limits. How accurate it is, I wouldn't know.

Perhaps in situations like this, "City Roads" might consider ignoring the cut-out enclaves and just using the mulipolygon's outer boundaries.

The power line showing up as a road is a mystery. If you can locate the corresponding feature on OSM you might want to investigate it. (There may in fact be a road or trail of some sort, though -- it's common for powerlines to have a track for maintenance vehicles.)

What OSM shows as matching the relation to the city is very strange. The boundary is so folded that I can't tell which parts are inside and which parts are very carefully excluded... If you look at other cities vs yours on OSM you'll see that it looks like most of Cedar Hills is excluded on OSM or rather the roads are their but it doesn't consider them part of the city.

Above is a quote from the guide released by Mozilla.

Some readers might be confused by the Mozilla organization when trying to reconcile its public statements with its own corporate behaviour.

Given the concerns some folks apparently have about Google, e.g., privacy, AI, harassment, etc., according to the Mozilla guide, consider this hypothetical.

What if a company's staff were concerned about their employer having a major contract with Google. What should they do?

Should they walk out? What if their salaries are paid indirectly by Google, i.e., almost all of their employer's revenue comes from the Google contract?

Mozilla Corporation derives almost all of its revenue from a contract with Google. Executive salaries are funded from Google payments, with lesser payments from Baidu and Yandex for the Chinese and Russian markets, respectively.

According to one report, without the deals it makes with search engines, Mozilla could not survive for very long.

> Housing prices are driven by the people paying the price

Not sure how that relates to the Ricardian theory, but while prices are technically "driven" by the people paying them, this does not seem like a useful observation to me. This isn't "if you keep buying every next more expensive iPhone, Apple will keep raising the price". You can't just not buy/rent property. It is a basic necessity.
While prices vary between regions, that is still hardly a choice. Most places, jobs are scarce and transport is a disaster - you can't just go live somewhere else because your job is here (and most jobs are in high-rent areas).

This means that no matter how high* prices get, people will have to find a way to pay (even if that means basically starving for the rest of their lives) and landlords are aware of this, so they keep raising the prices with the argument that "people clearly have the money, so it's fine".

In theory, it makes sense for a finite resource to increase in price with increasing demand, but prices are increasing a lot faster than demand is and housing isn't as finite as land is (we can build up). This points to the supply side (landlords and developers) being the problem, not the people just trying to survive.
People say these types of things, but they don't revolt. Have we reached a point where we are okay with a corrupt government as long as amazon prime ships us our toys within two days? Convenience and comfort seems like it's worth more to people than liberty and a good conscience.

> Aside from a brief dip during 9/11, a majority of the country listed "big government" as the "biggest threat" since the late 1980s. ...

In part that's due to the incessant, implacable drumbeat from the you're-not-the-boss-of-me right wing (and their cheering sections in the wealthy and wannabe-wealthy) that government is always the problem and never part of the solution; that if we just leave people alone they'll act virtuously and civically, and so the invisible hand would supposedly take care of everything if we would just let it. Which of course is delusional.
