That's why he was kicked out by people the like of Garreth who named him "enemy of the FSF" and mocked him on Twitter calling Stallman "bad" but he's a former Google employee...
> Until a court found Apple's action is against the laws, or new laws are written to make it so, Apple is free to operate the store as is.

"How far can we go before we get fined?" is ethically dubious and isn't behaviour that should be rewarded.
Can you buy someplace in Spain where the market isn't awful and hold there?

Or maybe the answer is to be a house renter your entire life and just save in other ways?
I would think writing a 3d graphics engine is not really the use case for React.
True, the problem is people thinking their files being stored at Google means they don't need another location for backing them up.
Service workers are required to receive a basic standard in the US as well, it’s just that tips are counted towards the minimum wage.

The reason fine dining is interesting is that’s where the no tipping movement is most prevalent in the US. Also note that fine dining serving staff is generally pro the current status quo because they believe they make more money under the current arrangement than they would under the alternative.

Do you think that many quantum physicists during the 21st century accepted the possibility of living in a splitting multiverse?

I don't think that's historically accurate. If you read about how Everett's ideas were treated it's pretty clear traditional QM is antithetic to many worlds.

Yes, but...

This does nothing to protect against a bad cron job script. The web frontend, and even backend, are not linked to background maintenance tasks.

And a field in a DB doesn't prevent a manual DB delete, or api call to a backing store.

The real problem here, was a lack of backup testing / restore testing.

If you have backups, you MUST manually verify they can be restored, in a desired state.

And this means restores MUST be tested every time code changes happen, which effect backups.
> Yeah they know that their property is falling apart but they won't buy under $value because they bought it at that price or similar reasonings.

That sounds like part of a chain of dominos to me. I'd imagine given time this would be less common.
Sure, maybe not totally childlike.

But there's a blend of excitement and joy in simple things that I find really lacking in adult life.

I'm also rewiring most my life and habits (somehow centering on simple usual and lively activities) but .. so far not good enough.

To be back to the original point, living longer will exhibit issues, and we'll have to work on that. I just find it sad that it's never mentionned.

> severe criticism (at least by the tech community)

Is it? I haven't seen tech community specific severe criticism. Its more that most think its the same as any other social media. It seems to be getting more criticism from Media and the US President because one, it's China and two, he feels personally insulted.
Wow, so many tears. People are getting very sensitive.
Move to Italy and buy one of the €1 houses in the article? The language is easy for you, and depending where you are in Spain, it might be a closer move than to other parts of Spain.

Of course there's a catch, but if what you really want is to own your own home and you're flexible about where you live, you're the right person for this kind of initiative.
In this case just 10TB of data was lost

I don't know about you, but something doesn't seems right here. Just 10 TB of data? For me even 0.5TB is too much. Hech, 0.0001 is too much.
I think our part in the community also entails we maintain a high standard of quality in discussions, which means that instead of complaining and making parallels to reddit, maybe we should provide other, maybe better resources and add to the discussion.
How hard can it be to have a set of data, make 2 copies and store the in different locations.
I'm not surprised in the least. I've sat in multiple meetings with execs whose boards have told them, "We need to get into this AI game, it could solve all our scaling problems!" Often both the board and the exec are clueless as to what AI is capable of or can offer their business specifically, they begin talking with vendors.

The execs feel they need to show they at least made an effort, and these companies branding themselves AI are easily able to take advantage. They market their products as these complex decision-making/analytical systems, but most of them are either glorified reporting dashboards or just an integration point/pipeline builder for a set of services.

The business buying this stuff doesn't need any of it to become more efficient, they are effectively spending the money to be able to generate the hype of saying, "We're in the AI space".

We buy Lenovo ThinkPads for work. We pay a bit more (not that much, like £50 a laptop I think) for the warranty package. When something goes wrong they send a tech out who repairs it onsite. More minor things like hard drive issues they just ship us a new NVMe drive and we swap it.

I think the techs work for IBM, weird they still keep this bit.

Isn't Fortnite a free online game? How is that comparable to a general-purpose computer that the consumer bought and owns?

If skins are what I imagine they are, Epic needs oversight over which ones players are allowed to use because they affect the experience of other players. And Epic provides Fortnite gratis specifically so that they can sell premium features like skins, so it seems completely reasonable that they would take a large cut out of third-party sales of those features.

To be analagous to IOS devices, Fortnite would have to be a single-player game that players bought a copy of. In that case, I think people would be right to be upset if Epic prevented them from getting skins through some other channel.
I was a Unix administrator responsible for backup many years ago. When I asked the manager of the IT department for funds to do a disaster recovery exercise I was turned down flat and told that no amount of discussion would change his mind.

We knew that we could restore individual files because users asked for them when they had accidentally deleted them but we had no idea whether or not our procedures for restoring the systems themselves would work.

Luckily we never had to find out.
Noticed this myself when looking at a certain TV, all negative reviews were about a missing app which could be downloaded in 10 seconds.

What the link says is Microsoft 365 services, such as OneDrive or Office Web Apps, will end IE11 support on 2021/08/17, as in refusing to serve for IE11 UA like anyone does.

I actually just handed in my 2016 MBP and got the keyboard replaced under their extended 4 year “butterfly mishap”-warranty. The new keyboard feels so much better than the last one. Plus they also replaced the battery because it’s all soldered together, so battery life got like 50% better. It cost me nothing and they did it when I was on vacation anyway, so it wasn’t much of a nuisance. No data loss at all.

I live in Sweden but I think they sent it to Czech Republic for the replacement. Handed it in Monday evening and got it delivered to my door Tuesday the week thereafter.

All in all it was totally worth it, but I’ve only had it for a few weeks now so who knows how long it’ll last this time.
This is just fantastic.

Nevertheless, such a system is quite a long way from a true free-market approach. And I think it demonstrates that market based systems that aren't "free markets" can be quite effective, and indeed from a theoretical perspective it seems to me very likely that such approaches work better than a "remove regulation at all costs" approach.

EDIT: there was initially a typo in this comment. I meant "aren't free markets", not "are free markets".

> Narrator: A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.

Let's build a browser engine! [1] by Matt Brubeck is a good place to start. I see Kosmonaut cites it in its README

I looked into this pretty extensively when Italy announced it and like most government initiatives there it's a borderline scam and was done for the PR not because it makes sense. Each of these houses requires extensive renovation work, usually of the type that can only be performed by an expensive specialized contractor.

Besides the expected costs for this work (Which will be at least 20k Euros up to 200k or more) you will be responsible for paying for many different permits to do this work which can also add up to 100s of Euros. Then you will find out that you get only one year from purchase to complete all renovations or you forfeit your investment.

After all this if you still aren't convinced you will find that the local governments will take months to issue each permit. The few specialized contractors licensed to perform the work will not show up for weeks at a time randomly whenever they feel like it. After one year you will have paid tens of thousands of Euros to local governments and contractors and your house will be worse than when you started.

Since you didn't meet the deadline the local government will take the house back and sell it for 1 Euro to the next sucker in line. This is a stimulus program for local governments and contractors in small Italian towns, and you are the source of funding if you decide to try to buy one of these houses.
While expensive for some this is a good idea. Another option would be to dual boot.

Keep all work related code, apps, and accounts off your personal PC/boot so you aren't tempted to look or "check in" on things.

I've been WFH for about 12 years now on a single PC, but that idea sounds good as I am guilty of checking in on things here and there.

Ok, let me spell that out more clearly. Having something stored in the cloud does not mean that you no longer need backups.

In the UK we are overrun by online gambling to the point where parliament may legislate - it's a complete cancer.

Online gambling is fine in principle, but it needs regulation to avoid overly predatory practices.

FWIW I'd rather people shoved some money in the stock market (but not options) than on (say) the football - most bad stocks do better than the ridiculous compound bets advertised here.
F.lux wasn't exactly native with it not being published on the app store. You would have had to "sideload" it with Xcode.

When a small number of people do this it's fine I think but Apple had an issue when 1000s started doing it.

Question - why couldn't they publish on app store instead?
Besides the added face, rest of the upscaling done seems to be terrible as well. I wonder why the photographer is using the software
The market is stupid and inefficient. When the market tells you to do something, it's too late.
Don't even go there. Might jinx it.
That's why I use web-based email (FastMail and Proton Mail personally) because I want email software to exist in the same sandbox as all websites I visit on the web.
I do agree and I want the App Store to change, I personally have been rejected many times for random reasons by Apple. But we must be pragmatic and realize users don't care, and as long as Apple can sell iPhone and services to users, they won't change.
This is a wild exaggeration. First of all, everyone is insecure. Work as a pentester, and you'll see that the whole world is insecure. After the 30th project with an SQL injection vuln or misconfiguration, you'll never be phased again.

Secondly, this seems to be a straightforward database misconfiguration. The database was set to public with no restrictions. It likely wasn't accessible to anyone who wasn't explicitly looking for it, i.e. security researchers or black hats. Yes, this was horrible, but nothing bad happened here. The database was simply set to private.

Third, my friend, chillax a bit. Yes, it's extraordinarily important to protect people's medical data. But no, you're not personally liable if a fuckup happens. Everyone fucks up. That's why the fuckups are covered by legal protections. You take your job seriously. Good! But you also take your job way too seriously. Bad. You're gonna burn yourself out within a decade with this mindset.

None of this is to say that what happened didn't matter. Of course it matters. But you are literally saying you'd be begging to be let into prison. That's not proportionate, and feels like a reflection of the current social climate of retribution-as-forgiveness.
So today I learnt:

1. Canon don’t have any backup procedures in place for their cloud platform. Any hacker now will be salivating at the idea of pulling a ransomware hack I imagine.

2. Canon developers follow the ‘test in production’ methodology of continuous integration.
For those that aren't going to click the link: he was a Conservative initially before becoming an independent and he had radical policies to reduce unemployment that weren't popular in the then laissez-faire Labour party (or Conservatives really) such as tariffs to protect British industries from 'international finance', state nationalisation of main industries, and plans for a corporate state by merging businesses, workers, and the government into one. He was also against free trade being noted as saying he was trying to challenge the '50-year-old system of free trade which exposes industry in the home market to the chaos of world conditions, such as price fluctuation, dumping, and the competition of sweated labour'.

After the split from Labour and failing to see success in his own New Party he went on a study tour of Italy and it's here you see the sharp turn towards the right wing and the formation of the BUP which was obviously authoritarian corporate fascism, strongly anti-Communist, and frequently clashed with Jewish groups.

As dragonwriter notes in his posts in this thread, corporatism is something that's sometimes shared among these ideologies but the gulf between those ideologies can still be pretty large, authoritarian nationalism inherently excludes certain groups in societies and is worlds apart from some other forms of socialism even if the goal of both is to end or reduce class conflict.

How to publish an irrevocable prediction or pledge?
Let's suppose that I'm making a prediction or pledge today concerning some event in the future, for example: A human will walk on Mars before 2025. How should I publish it so that it will be easy to check for anyone what I predicted and when. More specifically:

* A predictor is identified by their e-mail address. It is assumed that a predictor has full and sole control of an e-mail address: only they can receive e-mails. (E-mail addresses can be also tied to identities on keybase.io, but that's beyond the scope of the question.)

* A predictor can submit a short prediction of a few words, about once a day. When making a prediction, (email, timestamp, text) is saved, and will be displayed in subsequent lookups. The timestamp is assigned by the server to the submit time.

* Predictions are public. There is a website where anybody can look up all predictions by e-mail address.

* The prediction database is append-only. It's not possible to edit or delete predictions after they were submitted. (It may be possible to comment on or to attach tags to existing predictions, but this is not a requirement.)

Is there an existing service or database (maybe a blockchain?) which could conveniently host predictions according to the requirements above?

One use case is following: I want to build a reputation of making many correct predictions and very few incorrect ones in a specific topic. Let's suppose that my e-mail address is well-known for people whose opinion I care about. I want to keep publishing predictions about once a week, and after a few years I want to make it easy for others to check what I predicted and when. It should be hard for me to cheat, e.g. by making both predictions (i.e. 1. Travel to Mars by 2025. 2. No travel to Mars by 2025.), and later deleting those which didn't come true. Thus Twitter is not a good solution, because I'm able to delete some of my tweets.

I'm not going to say you're wrong, because I don't have claim to back mine up, either. So, this is for the sake of discussion.

The sentiment that everybody reaches for Redux is tired, in my opinion. After following many in the web development community and keeping up with online forums such as this, it's fairly clear to me that people have moved on from the heavy armor previously associated with React if they have a choice. For instance, people learned that they were using Redux for prop drilling, which led to many switching over to the context API natively from React. Another good example is Gatsby, for those who realized they have a static site and would like to address the SEO issues associated with a SPA.

Also, a lot of times, companies adopted React and Redux before the inception of these new, more powerful libraries that are obvious choices on the ground as of August 2020. But, have fun refactoring your entire client side state seamlessly if you're tracking state more sophisticated than the status of the application sidebar.
That's how I've done it as well. The files are backed up for as long as we want, they are just useless once the user's secret is trashed. You can do the userid blocklist's on database restores etc. but for long term backup file storage it becomes silly.
Italians are well known for being scammers, lazy and unprofessional.
