> If your baby needs formula, and the supply is disrupted, the choices are generally, with price gouging, you wouldn't be able to feed your baby because the formula is too expensive, and without price gouging, you wouldn't be able to feed your baby, because you didn't get to the store while they still had it.

Not quite. With price gouging, even fewer people get formula because there is a strong incentive to hoard and withhold supply until the price creeps up. Supply can’t ramp up quickly enough in emergency situations. It’s too inelastic for such short time horizons.

So with protections against gouging, people with the supply are incentivized to get as much of it as they can and move it into people’s hands as fast as they can. Without such protections they’re incentivized to hold onto to whatever they can and trickle it out at a metered pace. You just end up creating a speculative bonanza, not any meaningful increases in supply.
Same exact thing happened to me (Namecheap, PositiveSSL, renewed roughly a month ago). I went the reissue route on Namecheap and that fixed it (and I ended up with a certificate chain that is one certificate shorter).

But it has.

* I remember having major issues with printer drivers on Linux 10 years ago. Nowadays thanks to IPP support I don't need any drivers any more. I had to help my dad with installing a windows driver while on my Linux laptop it just worked.

* My Laptop from 13 years ago didn't have free network drivers. I had to jump through hoops to install them. Now they are all free.

* AMD has started maintaining really good open source driver support for their GPUs

* Even for Android there is improvement, with e.g. free Mali drivers being built. It's slow and not enough, but improvement.
The argument is that the line length limit has to be related to some default indentation length, which in Linux's case is 8 spaces.
The F-Droid store provides compelling alternatives to essentially all of the old AOSP apps. (LineageOS also maintains varieties of them.) The one component where there's been a real issue for FLOSS apps is support for centralized push notifications, and that's reliant on 3rd-party services so "open" is not a very meaningful characterization anyway.

perhaps not, but materials in space can be assembled to functional components in space. functional components beget more things happening in space.

I've never actually seen a smartphone with more than 4GB of RAM (mine has 2 GB and runs Android 9 in FullHD with perfect performance). Whatever, a huge amount of ram usually is used when running heavy apps. Running the basic system + a small app isn't supposed to take anything near 100% RAM or CPU.

An Android app I want to write is going to be a single form with some text fields and some buttons, it will have simple logic but it needs to run in background, be able to read a sensor, read/write some SQLite/CSV data and play a sound occasionally. No fancy graphics bells and whistles.

This seems like a very simple task to handle, I bet it's not going to take much RAM or CPU.

Why is it so hard to emulate?

And your point is obviously ridiculously untrue. You're complaining about poor performance (not that it doesn't work, mind you, just that it's slow), while also refusing to upgrade to a system from the last decade.

You can get a system that will run the emulator with great performance for less than $50 on Ebay. There's no possible way to describe or classify this as requiring "Google level budgets for hardware." If you can't afford to upgrade that sucks, but you also can't at all make a reasonable complaint about performance when insisting on using a 10+ year old system.
> You get access to rare materials that can be immensely valuable.

Why would you want to send humans to get it? Space is really inhospitable for humans, but machines seem to like it just fine.

Offshore oil and gas mining is rapidly being automated, and if they could, they would eliminate humans from the process altogether. Nobody wants to go out and live on a frozen windblown metal can full of industrial machinery, in the middle of an ocean, that could sink at any time. That's why you have to pay people a lot of money to do it.

After you get over the romantic narrative of space, it really doesn't sound any more appealing than the oil platform. I mean, sure, I'm curious. But I wouldn't want to live there.
Can you articulate why it's a bad practice? If it works better than alternatives and it's documented, not really sure what the issue is.

I don't think it's even that uncommon. I believe some HFT firms run Java with a huge amount of RAM and GC disabled, and get around it by just rebooting the software occasionally.

To me writing software like that is fair game, I don't see the point in being dogmatic about "how things should be done".

The thing that made this bug possible was because, while your Apple ID has to be an email address, Apple has a mechanism to avoid exposing it to third parties - unlike Google, Apple, or Facebook's single sign-on implementation; the bug seems to be in the step between verifying your identity and telling Apple whether you would or would not like your email address to be exposed.

If anything, the issue is that third parties treat the email address as a unique, unchangeable identity, and then agree to rely on Apple's assertion of what your email address is. But given how hard identity is - and the challenges in dealing with passwords, account recovery, and name changes at scale - it's a pretty reasonable tradeoff to make.
> If you need a more expanded definition

Logically speaking, we could be talking about how belief in conspiracy theory is affected by mental deficiency, a preference for apple pie, or a broken arm. Giving me a definition of 'thing-that-is-bad' is irrelevant to its use as a potential ad homenim. And as I said - if you already have a diagnosis of the person, then feel free to mention it as a point against their theory of a conspiracy. But if you do not already have that diagnosis, then claiming the theory implies a mental deficiency is absolutely an ad homenim against the theory. The order of the cause and effect matters.

I think you mistook my use of the word "fair". I was using the first definition from merriam-webster: "marked by impartiality and honesty." Maybe I should just keep using "intellectually honest" since that appears to cause less confusion. We do agree on your other point, though, that "evidence is not about agreement." Maybe I should use the phrase 'theorize about the existence of a conspiracy' instead of 'skeptical of the status quo'.

With that addressed: I don't think it's intellectually honest to conclude there's a mental health defect in people who theorize about the existence of a conspiracy.

Well, tourism, if nothing else!

Some people don't see that as a sufficiently serious reason to go. Those people are wrong.
You completely failed to understand my comment: if the Constitutional freedom of religion is too broad why do you accept the Constitution to be ignored with such decisions instead of fixing the problem, the Constitutional text? In your example it is clear the problem is the Constitution text being too broad/generic. SCOTUS is not there to rewrite or cut the text, people voting can do that.

SpaceX should build space modules next, after they finish Starship. And interconnect them to make a ring. Then spin the ring to generate artificial gravity. And leave a center pod for zero-g activities.

Now that would make a fantastic space hotel.
Given you mention OpenSSL is currently terrible at verifying "real" certificates: why doesn't e.g. Google just throw a bit of money at them and fix their bugs when they're clearly so well-known? It seems like such an obvious thing to do for a company whose entire business is built on the web. Is there really too little benefit to justify the cost of the engineer(s) it would take even for big companies? Or are the projects somehow blocking help?

> That reasoning tells that a law (the "criminal law") beats the Constitution by putting restrictions on a Constitutional right.

There's a lot to parse in your post, but I would strongly suggest reading J.S. Mill's On Liberty[1]. In it, Mill describes (what is now known) as the Harm Principle[2]. This (or something like this), and not necessarily criminal law, is essentially what the Constitution is beholden to. It just so happens that most crimes also violate ethical principles.

> The rise in price is the result of the market thinking there will be future rise in organic demand.

In a disaster situation there won’t be a future rise in organic demand so the market has no incentive to actually adjust. Price gouging doesn’t change that. The only meaningful effect is that you’re either distributing finite resources by raffle or by ability to pay. (Or by ration ticket if your government has its shit together enough to set something like that up). I don’t know any ethical framework that thinks ability to pay is the optimal distribution scheme there.

Kantians would opt for a raffle as it values people as ends in themselves rather than as money havers.

Utilitarians would opt for a raffle as random chance is more likely to distribute goods to their most valued uses than distribution according to the wealthiest.

Rawlsians would opt for a raffle because if you apply a veil of ignorance where nobody knows how much money they have before the situation starts, everyone would conclude the raffle is more fair.

"Isolation" of driver code that can talk to on-SoC hardware is just not very meaningful. You can only have real driver isolation if it's enforced on the hardware side via some IOMMU mechanism (or by keeping the hardware isolated on the USB bus, etc.), otherwise you're just adding pointless overhead for no real benefit.
You can try Copilot https://copilot-language.github.io/ (which does use C as backend, but this C is restricted to be microcontroller friendly)
The abort system is like ejection seats: the greater the part of the flight envelope it works in, the better, because you have smaller portions of the flight that problems are unsurvivable. The abort system tests were for the most difficult regimes of flight: maximum dynamic pressure, and zero altitude, zero airspeed. Having tested that, they can be sure it'll work in less difficult sections.
During the shutdown, police in my area had severe staffing issues, and flat out said they would only come out for the most serious crime. At the same time, huge numbers of people were released from prison.
A pretty interesting observation:

> Brinkley, the Rice University historian, said the moment seemed akin to Richard Nixon’s presidency, when the country was divided politically over the Vietnam War and the president was attacking the press over the Pentagon Papers.

I see a lot of the fundamental social problems in America and I see elected officials at the federal level largely incapable of / uninterested in trying to tackle them. They all seem to waste a lot of time on smearing their political opponents or in focusing on small, trivial issues rather than the cracks in the foundation of American society (perhaps that is all we as voters incentivize them to do).
"User Interface Design for Programmers" (159 pages)
I would not say that is a fundamental reason. They have been willing to do it when the proper incentives are there. The incentive to keeping it closed source is primarily part of a strategy to sabotage their competitors, which I hope is not a behavior that anyone here is complicit in. Please don't work for hardware companies that do this, there are plenty of companies out there that know how to spend their money in other ways.

>Which is worse, a phone where you can't update kernel because of the closed drivers or a phone where you can update the kernel, with closed drivers?

Neither of those are good options because even in the second case, there are still vast swaths of code that upstream is not going to touch out of fear of breaking things, the end result being that you still get stuck with unfixable kernel and driver bugs.

>The open source community is not, for example, going to make their own high performance gpus.

The open source community includes a lot of companies. The high-performance GPU companies are welcome to join this community any time they like.
It becomes more and more feasible the shorter the flight is, since the 'turnaround' time on the ground starts to become longer than the actual flight time. That's why Harbour Air, which operates ~20 minute seaplane flights from Vancouver, will probably one of the first airlines to operate electric aircraft in commercial service.

I’m a huge K8s advocate but if all you’re looking for his a repeatable way to spin up DO droplets then use a user-data script.

User data is a bash script that can be automatically run when the machine first spins up.

You miss a point: an app I need to run in the emulator is extremely simple, almost "hello world"-like. The OS itself shouldn't take much resources. I would expect 99% of the CPU and 80% of the RAM to be unused when running such a humble app on a bare OS. Another point is I actually have VT-x so x86 Linux and x86 Windows can normally be emulated without much overhead but x86 Android is a different story.
You’re missing the core limitation on the constitution, it’s extremely short limiting precision. Freedom of speech is not about standing on a street corner with a megaphone, it’s about the content of the message. Where that line is between message and method is complicated, but that’s the core issue being decided in free speech issues.

In terms of this, if a religion had a specific requirement for exactly 101 people to preform a ceremony then they have a real case. However, region is not a blank check to allow arbitrary gatherings of any size especially if there are any options.

That's a fair point. Hell, I'd argue that half the interest in spaceflight (except those of people seeing it all through the lens of an Excel sheet) is because of the idea of sending people up there. That alone makes an occasional manned mission worth it, just to keep the general interest alive.
Engineering for failure is important, you should always set yourself up so that you have several lines of defence which can fail. Some lines of defence to make failing "impossible" others to make a fail softer, even when you think failing is impossible.
I'm sorry I can't easily lay hands on a link. My statement comes from various speeches given by Justices over the last few decades, which are typically to legal gatherings or to law students. The point is slightly different from the one Roberts made in the article you linked to.

In that he's talking about a perception that the court is not impartial and that the justices are seen as taking positions, and even (by implication) instruction from political parties. This concern, by the way, has existed for a long time, at least to the era of Dredd Scott if not earlier; presidents from Lincoln to FDR and, to a lesser extent to recent times have made the same charge.

And that is the sense in which I have heard various justices (since the 1970s -- I'm an old fart -- through a speech Roberts gave a few years ago which I couldn't find by searching -- in which they need to manage the perception of partiality because the Court is a participant in public life, and indeed in political public life. The sense in which I was quoting is that they are political actors though the entity they are working to protect is the credibility of their institution.

I have no illusion that any judge is superhuman and able to be impartial. But it's interesting to see how Justices' voting tends to shift as they are on the court for a while. It implies a certain independence of mind, though perhaps not from each other.
