Sensor driver ICs operate in different modes for still and video, so probably developer culture between different trains of cameras diverged due to that, earlier in the technology.

Cameras are also still a bag of trickster type computer, lots of ASICs talking. “Main CPU” is probably still a thing. So disturbing the path from light to FAT file entry may or may not open some can of worms.

Lastly I can’t imagine a team of Linux hackers in a large Japanese corporate writing UVC gadget driver for company platform... entertainment value and frictionless operation are very neglected/disincentivized part of engineering in the country.

Maybe the second point is the most relevant. They’re not designed to encode and export video to PC and that itself is a challenge.
Also: -

Our current media environment has scrambled our society's ability to assemble a consensus view of reality so badly that conspiracy theories should be considered toxic. And that's not a good thing from my perspective because it puts the entire viability of creative-lies-that-amuse-and-inform — fiction — in jeopardy.
Only a few seems to be plain code vs plain code. For the C# code there's use of unsafe, SSE/AVX intrinsics and calling C code to do the job (PCRE for the regex).

Certainly it's nice that you have these capabilities in C#, but at least for me it limits the usefulness of the results.
Not entirely true. If you have a business need that demands this level of holding another big company to some account / get some response, then you pay for it.

I think google's higher end service level starts with a $150K/year base fee + cut of spending. That's actually a pretty good deal (1FTE) to have your back much more covered when there are issues - I think they work towards 15 minute response times there. Plus they can help you avoid screwing up your own redundancy planning through reviews of your setup.

What wasn't clear from parent was do they expect to hold google ($100B+/year) to account while spending $2,000/month - that isn't going to happen at all as google as already outlined how they will compensate you for downtime.

Finally - for really large deals you can negotiate with their sales folks.

So the Apple store 30% tax would be more like a 30% VAT on the value created by the app - excluding the value already present in prewritten libraries etc the app builds on.

The problem there is that it's impossible to quantify that. VAT works in-practice in retail sales because the value added is trivial to calculate - but you can't do that with open-source libraries or internal components - or the value created by a platform (e.g. what value does Spotify add on-top of the existing iOS audio and internet capabilities that they're using?)
I wonder why there isn't a tinder like app where there are no photos but you ask for a price to meet and when you pay that price, then it opens a conversation channel where photos can be exchanged with single click and it's on you to see if you wish to accept or decline the proposal.

There are tons of fake people on tinder, who never show up. Payment will act as deterrent for these con people.

And dating app makes money as % of the transaction that occurs on the app.

And it never charges you without actually getting a "meeting" out of the app so experience is fair.

And if women are looking to meet man, they can also initiate and offer to pay.

Tinder sucks you can pay for Tinder Gold but it doesn't guarantee even a single date.
Ransomware extortion artists have already been proven to be hit or miss when it comes to following through on what they promised. The whole concern about releasing this data to the internet is that it'd end up in the hands of bad actors, but uhhhh the damage is already done if the bad actors already have the data. Do the students really feel comfortable that only one gang of nefarious hackers have their data?
Which is why I like the concept of percentage fines rather than constants
Matrix is great for bridging[0] between different chat applications. Personally I use it a lot to bridge to IRC, which is a great alternative to the older method of setting up a server for use with an IRC bouncer. Since there's various Matrix clients for mobile (I use Element), you can chat on IRC from anywhere. If this gets more people into IRC I'm all for it because it's one of my favorite places on the internet for discussing and learning things.

There's a comprehensive tutorial[1] on how to connect to Freenode via Matrix.
Gitter ⇔ Matrix bridge is pretty good too, since Gitter is pretty horrendous on web and especially mobile.

LFS is great. Do it once, all the way through.

Then go back and automate it yourself. Make your own build process, scripts, auto download sources and automatically apply sets of patches. Make your own fakeroot system and assemble all three pieces into a working image file, auto tar the whole thing and make it easily deployable.

That... is how you come to fully understand everything that goes into a basic bare-bones yet fully functional, <50MB Linux Distribution.

Then do it again, but with a cross compilation toolchain (CLFS but using the build tooling you've just created).

I did this year's ago for the OG Raspberry Pi. I was frustrated by the lack of a minimal distro that just had the basics for serving websites and nothing else.

Fast forward 6 months, all the above completed, amazed by how far I'd come... only to realize CentOS had been released for the RPi in the meantime.

I'll never regret that time spent, though. It really does unlock a "next level" understanding of what a distro is. There is no magic, just a lot of hard work.
Cryptocurrency is a form of money unlike any other. Just as the internet is a network unlike any other before it, native internet money simply has no parallels. Bitcoin is related to gold in that it is attempting to be a global store of value separated from governments. But other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum have elements of commodities, energy (ETH is similar to oil in that you need it to run operations on the network), equities, interest bearing assets, among others. It’s all of these at once. No government or regulator sets arbitrary fences around what an asset can be, as it’s just software.

I think the biggest misconception of blockchain is that it’s “worthless”. The people who say this haven’t given crypto a modicum of thought - they read some dingus’ blog post and decided that was all there is to say. I truly think bitcoin / blockchain will be seen as one of the transformative technologies of the 21st century.

That assumes sorting will not become cheaper over time. Technology will progress and the cost of raw materials extracted naturally may rise and make landfill mining more economical than dealing with the current waste stream.

Even if the materials were sorted today on the way in, it may not be economical to do anything with them, so storing them in a sorted landfill could make sense.
Shutting what down?
> but it is never in a union's interest to impair the business to the point where the jobs no longer exist.

Yet, that’s what they do. The Packard car company is one such victim.

Unions bankrupted Twinkies.

The work rules imposed in union contracts required the company that makes Twinkies, which also makes Wonder Bread, to deliver these two products to stores in separate trucks. Moreover, truck drivers were not allowed to load either of these products into their trucks. And the people who did load Twinkies into trucks were not allowed to load Wonder Bread, and vice versa.

All of this was obviously intended to create more jobs for the unions' members. But the needless additional costs that these make-work rules created ended up driving the company into bankruptcy.

The labor leader John L. Lewis called so many strikes in the coal mines that many people switched to using oil instead, because they couldn't depend on coal deliveries. A professor of labor economics at the University of Chicago called John L. Lewis "the world's greatest oil salesman." The higher costs of producing coal not only led many consumers to switch to oil. They also led coal companies to substitute machinery for labor, reducing the number of miners.

There is also a reason why labor unions are flourishing among people who work for government. No matter how much these public-sector unions drive up costs, government agencies do not go out of business. They simply go back to the taxpayers for more money.
Gaming the benchmarks for fun and profit.
My grandmother told me about this earthquake/tsunami when I was trying to learn everything I could about my grandfather before he died. At that time he was a navy pilot flying missions in the bearing strait, and she was living on a small airstrip somewhere on the Alaskan coast with their three babies. The earthquake hit in the evening and the buildings had no foundation, so they slid around a bit, but mostly everybody just went to sleep. A couple of the CPOs were frantic and spent the night chaining the barracks to ground anchors. The water came in silently and floated the barracks, then left with most of the sailors sleeping through it. In the morning, many of the buildings that weren’t anchored had been swept out to sea.

What would you suggest as an alternative? I've never done LFS. I'm intrigued by it.

We use Debian in an IoT product similar in footprint to a pi. I know Linux OK, but some areas are still pretty opaque to me (or evolved, once upon a time I knew unit pretty well, systemd, I can manipulate it, but I'm no guru).

So would LFS be a good fit for me? Or better some other educational adventure?

Unions are expensive and the reason they hold power is because they strike. And when they strike they threaten violence against “scabs”, or someone management hires to do the job despite union threats.

Unions are simply labor using violence to achieve their aims, which is soaking the payer to enrich themselves. Nothing more and nothing less.

Thanks for linking the E-mail, it was a very interesting read!

200 million users means the community is huge. Not every project is in a situation like that. It means that Libreoffice creates tremendous value around the globe, and extracting just some of that value means the development efforts can be grown.

There are positive things in that e-mail as well: many large institutional users do contribute back.

Also note that well researched bug reports can be helpful for the community, especially if you post workarounds you found into the bug thread, and the thread is accessible by search.

As for Collabora, I'm not sure how much they engage in marketing? Maybe if they increase such efforts/change strategy they can grow their number of customers.

The classification of certain jobs as independent contractors was driven by self-interested corporations in several industries, including media and tech. Remember the Microsoft perma-temp lawsuits? Reclassification is not a patch, it's fixing a kludge that was specifically engineered to allow businesses to avoid having to treat their employees as employees.

Same. I don’t really remember what it was like before the 4xx series but the proprietary driver has worked fine for me on Gentoo. Both for gaming and for passthrough for virtualized envs (although this is recent).
Everyone just games these benchmarks by calling out to C libraries. It's better to actually compare the slowest programs for each language instead of the fastest ones, because those are usually idiomatic.

There will be too much competition from "casts". While the top 1% can be seen between commercials, the top 5% are cast on Twitch, commercial free, by a sole caster surviving on Twitch and Patreon. The level of competition will be very similar, possibly with more variety in the top 5%.
It's using features of the language. Is that not what this is meant to measure/compare? .NET has unsafe, SIMD, and value types which opens it to a whole world of programming that Java is currently unsuited for.
I bought my first mech keyboard and "high-end" mouse from Corsair almost 3 years ago. I happily own a couple of Elgato products, more Corsair keyboards. I can say I'm rooting for them.

It's also possible that #1 could be interpreted as having been intended to only protect a tight definition of "personal communications" as single-party-to-single-party, not broadcast communications or social media.

#3 is actually an interesting one. Would it prevent the President from being able to stop a ship owned by a foreign national if it was carrying a single CD-ROM of informational materials? What if it was full of such CD-ROMs? What if part of a frozen bank account was going to be used to facilitate the transfer of information? Would not some hindrance of the free flow of information be an inevitable side effect of ANY action under IEEPA? Of course, one imagines it was not the intention of the drafters of the law to let a single CD-ROM neuter the entire presidential power. My non-lawyer understanding is that courts normally establish some kind of "balancing test" in these scenarios that can be used to draw a line in the sand. But from e.g. https://fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/R45618.pdf it's unclear whether there's any case law that specifically establishes the boundaries. Regardless, this will be a very interesting saga.

Do regular dental cleaning improve dental health?
Dental cleaning involves brushing your teeth properly two times a day and many people clean their teeth after every meal. Flossing the teeth and cleaning the tongue is also included in this process. One must be very careful while dealing with their dental health. Proper hygiene should be considered as priority. It will help your overall dental health and minimize the chances of cavities and dental issues.

Sure, but I’m sure they leverage portage due to its sheer power and additional scrutiny over any ebuilds they source from upstream. Which, to be clear, the threat model assessed internally is intentionally malicious packages which are unintentionally merged into the portage tree by legitimate and well meaning developers. There’s no immediate issue with the portage or gentoo developers and package maintainers themselves.

My argument is that the judiciary has instantaneous independence but not real independence.

If the DNC and the RNC decided that they really wanted it to be passed, they have to power to solely elect judges to the Supreme Court which would uphold it.

If your standard is that a single act of minor importance refused by the judiciary is enough to mean indépendance of judiciary, an equal application of the standard results in the conclusion that the Chinese judiciary and judicial review process is independent. Which is a conclusion I disagree with, not only because I disagree with the standard.

> The animals will have increased health problems due to toxins (or radiation) from the environment.

No. This isn't correct.

The problem with these areas is the might increase cancer a small amount. Animals don't care about cancer or toxins, it's only rich present day humans that do.

Hunter and Gathers living at Chernobyl wouldn't care at all as long as they don't go in the building.

This is the biblical fear that's the problem.

Yes, as an ultra rich person I would not live on this landfill, but even for at least 40% of humans in the current world they'd be better off living on the landfill.
