One time I spent 3-4 months working on a project that amounted to adding 11 lines of code to a config file on kubernetes. Tbh, a lot of it was bad communication, but it was also because I wrote and rewrote so much of the same code.
I'm bringing up Democrats because it's important to understand how the Media shapes perspectives. Media doesn't give the two parties fair treatment, so what makes you think their denunciations of the Republicans are based in reality? Many of them are not.

Many of the critiques of King and others are propaganda and lies. Many of the supposed "white supremacists" in the Republican ranks have just been branded that in order to discredit them for political purposes. Trump is a great example. It's often repeated he is a "white supremacist" or racist against various groups, but there's not really good evidence of that and actually much evidence to the contrary.

Why do you feel you can downplay the oppressive and castrating stranglehold the regimes have on their population by mentioning tired and meaningless cliches about how they were somehow oppressed before but now their life is an idillic existence?

I mean, do you believe that all those poor martyrs who died trying to leave the country by boat just so happened to have floated away from their beach when they lost track of how much good times they were having?

I moved all my public emails from first@last.something to first.last@wellknownmailprovider

and then spent a lot of time changing my email address in accounts that I've had a really long time.

Shocked at how badly that went, actually. For certain service providers, I couldn't change my email address and was encouraged to open a new account, which would've meant losing certain records in the old accounts. I couldn't consolidate.

And companies that have different email addresses for their accounts and their mailing lists -- not helpful.

And finally, companies that disable the "update your email address" link in footer of popular email list services, so your only option is to unsubscribe -- good going (not).
Which is kind of a dark pattern for anything even a little time consuming.

A pilot can tell just by looking out the window/flying the plane as to whether the plane is moving. Software however can hang up for all sorts of reasons and never complete execution. You might be waiting on a network timeout for an hour because some didn't code that piece properly, or some random hardware error causes a stall.

Reasonable visibility into the real-time operations of the program is useful for the same reasons package tracking numbers are useful.

Is there no war? Or has the nature of it changed due to MAD and such that it is just a cold war taking on a new form with the battles being fought over economies, politics, infrastructure, and culture as the opening salvos?
I feel so powerless against this terrifying trend. All I can do is try to insulate myself from misinformation and inflammatory content - which is hard enough - but I have close relatives who positively eat it up without even thinking twice about taking a critical eye. I've tried engaging them on it and encouraging healthy skepticism, and it's been entirely fruitless. The average person seems to have zero capacity to reflect on and be aware of their own biases and emotions and how those affect their judgement and are affected by their environment.

I'm just so frustrated and exhausted. It's hard not to lose all hope for humanity in times like these.

It seems to create affinity scores based on which videos you complete watching, like or share. Then they also maintain similar affinity scores for every tag on those videos and the creators of those videos. So as you watch stuff, you feed becomes tuned to your preferences without needing an explicit 'follow' step.

Users have little control of what videos they see explicitly, but if you like 5 videos with the same tag, it will present more videos with that tag.

> but a Times investigation found that he received at least $413 million in today’s dollars from his father’s real estate empire, much of it through tax dodges in the 1990s

Donald Trump had already taken over the business in 1971.

Seriously disingenuous to call it "his father's real estate empire" 30 years later.

Even more disingenuous to claim he received $413 million in today's dollars through tax dodges - it's not like you get paid by paying less taxes; that was money earned regardless. Not to mention the framing of "tax dodging" vs "paying the minimum amount the government required by law". (Taxes are due tomorrow - did you decide to pay more than you were required just out of generosity? I'd bet not.) It's also unclear what "records" the article is citing, since Trump's tax returns famously have never been released. I'd like to think, by now, if something nefarious was up with the Trump tax returns, the IRS would have taken notice...

Clearly the NYT has an axe to grind. Their word choice, and decision to lump a decade into one monetary number, and represent earnings earned while serving as company president as some sort of fatherly gift is clearly a misrepresentation of reality.

> Trump started out with 100's of millions

Flatly, this is wrong. Ran the company for 30 years before earning that money. That's not "starting out" no matter what way you want to frame it.

So, in short, this myth is busted.

Your hypothetical was lousy, I agree, but if you're going to hinge your argument on a lousy hypothetical, I'll push back on that hypothetical.

To answer your questions:

(1) Yes, driver code can do things like this. If you don't believe me, buy an HP printer, and see the driver code pop up all sorts of advertisements, deals, and other crap. Driver code has access to your system's low-level internals. From there, it can do whatever it likes.

(2) The parties at fault here are multiple. One of the keys to building robust systems is to understand failures can take place anywhere in the system. In medical device, the terminology is "single point of failure." If one failure can kill a person, a medical device won't be certified by the FDA. In the same way you want the hardware to be tolerant of a single-point-of-failure, you want your organizational processes, logistics, etc. to also be tolerant. Mistakes will happen, and when they do, people shouldn't die.

(3) No one would hold FTDI responsible for making sure clones work properly. Plenty of people would hold FTDI responsible for intentionally attacking my hardware because I had a clone, if things go wrong. Two wrongs don't make a right. There is plenty of case law around this. Here's a nice chain for you to go down to get you started:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_copy_protection_rootk...

https://www.cs.uaf.edu/~cs393/CACHE/Wired_RIAA.pdf

If FTDI's drivers stop working with my device incidentally, they're not responsible. If they intentionally brick a piece of hardware I own, for any reason, including believing I violated or contributed to a violation of their IP, that's a pretty clearly digital trespass under CFAA.

Would I pursue FTDI for breaking a cheap consumer device? That's not worth anyone's time. Had it, as in your example, killed someone or took down a planeload of people, you can bet your butt there would be both civil and criminal prosecutions for stuff like that.

(4) Any regarding supply chains, whenever I've done this, I've worked for small companies that wanted to keep logistics simple. We'd try to make sure complete designs could be sourced from one distributor (usually Newark, sometimes Digikey). And no one had resources to do any kind of tracing of parts. I understand that's done in aerospace, but that's not done in hardly anything else.

If there's some mixup in the supply chain, and I've shipped a thousand consumer widgets with a bad FTDI chip, FTDI should go after the parties responsible: my distributor, and the pirate company. Not me. Not my customer. And it should do it properly through the legal system and pursue damages, not break devices vigilante-style.

No... But many African nations are on the rise. They also have significant influence on other countries in Asia.
These open source projects you talk about were developed by profit seeking enterprises for solving complex distributed systems problems at scale.

Because they chose to make them open-source (not out of altruistic motives but out of the same profit seeking perfectly good business motives), these solo developers (who are also profit seeking) can benefit from those projects for free and can afford to build to serve lot more users than they would be able to otherwise.

I don't get the entitled attitude of the author. If he wants a
'simple' system by his standards, he can build one easily enough with the modern tools like golang, node.js and rust.

Btw, the web development tools were never simpler than today to operate a safe and secure production web application to serve any number of users. I'm saying this with about two decades of experience doing the same.

'+' has no special meaning. The relevant standards only say that senders can't dictate how a system encodes its addresses. No law is in place to compel that behavior.

I read the article. What's fishy about this?
I wasn’t speaking about any one SLA; I was speaking about the contents of pretty much every SLA I’ve ever looked at. Seriously. Coincidentally, that very day, I happened to find what is I think the best SLA I’ve found, which went as far as refunding 5× what you paid them for the month after a certain amount of downtime, and almost added it to that comment as the first decent one I’d come across, but as I read further, the amount of downtime it took to get to any meaningful refund still seemed unreasonably long, so I ended up deciding it was still mostly toothless, though perhaps its gums were just a mite tougher than most.

Negotiated SLAs may be able to take into account customer business losses (I don’t know, I’ve never seen a negotiated one), but standard SLAs never include that.
but there's a hidden cost, that's never spoken of. cost of forgotten knowledge or expertise. say you use AWS RDS | Aurora, on paper it's cheap. AWS runs everything for you. what happens, when one day you need the knowledge to run your own db ? or migrate to something different altogether ?

Maybe not racist per se, but Cotton specifically blamed antifa which was a deliberate and calculated lie intended to blame imaginary radical leftists on activities that were mostly being our by garden variety robbers unassociated with any political group.

I have a script [0] that almost does this, but currently only downloads forks. Could easily be modified to work on all types of repos. Maybe one day I'll get around to doing that myself, hopefully before any spurious lockouts... but then again I usually create the repo locally first and push to GH later, so I should have all my repos already.

Also this only does the initial cloning, I still need to implement pulling down new commits.

But, the majority of the boilerplate is taken care of, like for authenticating to their API.

You're conflating passive judgement with active harassment, witch hunts, for "having the wrong opinion."

The political parties are trying this into a "war". They want divisiveness. They want people to view this as a win-or-lose situation.

It brings in lots of money, and helps push for their party's voters to mobilize and go vote so they have control to push their agendas.. it also makes it easier to find "party line" politicians that won't deviate from the pack on specific key issues they care about.

A lie requires the company to believe it is not true and yet say it anyway. Elon is pretty delusional (at least that he often has crazily optimistic ideas about what is and is not feasible); he’s also paranoid about AI becoming self-aware and destroying humanity; it’s reasonable to suggest that Elon believed his own projection, here.

Whether or not "the right to be forgotten" can be used for "good" is irrelevant to the discussion on whether it's flawed, or can be abused. Just as mob justice can be used for "good" (eg. punishing individuals protected by a corrupt justice system), doesn't mean we should endorse it.
The thing that is forgotten in these reductio analyses is that the economy is made of people, so if they die you have no economy either.

The evidence from 1918/19 is that early opening, or failure to close down again when opening fails, leads to stronger economic growth. It’s a shame some wish to learn this from themselves instead of from the suffering of people a century ago.

I do think enough people believing this could happen, and thus hoarding pennies, could increase its likelihood.

It'd grow a popular constituency for the rebasing, and create a change shortage that's most-easily addressed by incentivizing the release of instantly-more-valuable penny hoards.

Fill your jars, then pass the idea on!

(Does anyone know someone high up in this '4chan' memetic-prankster cooperative I keep hearing about? Nah, they'd probably just trick Congress into doing something useless like rebasing the penny to 4¢.)

I used to think the Microsoft/Cisco/HP system of certified partner networks was obtuse. Now I see the wisdom. Managing relationships at scale is not the core competency for these companies; it's better that they delegate it to organizations that can. And it's a competitive marketplace. If you don't like your Microsoft partner, there are thousands more to choose from.

Incidentally, when you work at one of these partners, you get access to private tech support phone numbers that are the real-life version of XKCD's Shibboleth [0].

I agree with all of this, but I will pick a nit here:

> There are plenty of us who think that the "Paradox of Tolerance" is mistaken, rather than truth. It may sound reasonable, but it is used in practice to define ideas we don't like as intolerant, and then exclude those who hold those ideas.

If they've changed the definition of "tolerance" to proxy their ingroup, are they actually talking about the Paradox of Tolerance? Or are they observing a new "paradox": 'progressives don't tolerate who they don't tolerate'? I ask because the distinction seems interesting to me; not trying to be pedantic.
You jest, but there is an actual argument somewhere in this dumpster fire arguing that philosophy cannot explain the overall direction of technology, as evidenced by a particular software's choice of license and the underlying assumption that technology is "different" from any other human endeavor.

Nebulous philosophical arguments do explain things. Quite readily, actually.
