The ZX81 and ZX Spectrum were a big part of my childhood, so I had a big case of Clive-worship as a kid. Watching a clip from this I now feel slightly attacked :) but I'm settling down with a very British cup of tea to watch it tonight.

Why even fake it?

Most hard drives (and presumably SSDs) contain embedded microcontrollers to handle translation between the various protocol levels (USB, SATA, etc) and the raw data on the platters/FLASH cells, often running i/o drivers on top of some microcontroller-specific RTOS.

So ... surely the ideal technique would be to write a driver for the RTOS that generates a stream of data on the fly that looks like an ExFAT filesystem full of directories and email folder hierarchies containing Lorem Ipsum text? That way, it keeps feeding an unending supply of junk back to the imaging hardware (which probably isn't anything as high level/simple as "plug into a PC, mount it, and copy everything"). Yet if they open up the case and look inside, they'll see a genuine hard drive with genuine platters.
Being Epic, of course there's an example already: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-08-12-epic-games-hit...

> The law firm reported that Epic was notified about the security issue back in November 2018, but didn't acknowledge the problem until two months later.

> The data breach occurred back in January this year, when hackers found a flaw in Fortnite's login system, allowing them to impersonate players and purchase V-Bucks with the bank information attached to their accounts.

Epic is truly not a company you want to be supporting in this. I am not an Apple fan (I have a phone from all major mobile OSes), but Epic is truly abhorrent and stands for everything you do not want sticking their fingers into everything.

The paper you cited actually goes on to show why the type of dating used is as accurate as it can be. Index fossil ages have been used to calibrate radiometric dating and vice versa. Not all rock formations have radioactive elements we can use to give rocks an "absolute age" meaning relative aging often is as good as we can get.

I did some research on this in my spare time. It's about as likely as the long term side effects of the covid19 itself(unknown), but to a lesser extent. If we take the Flu vaccine for example, it causes some autoimmune disease at rate 15 times less than the actual Flu virus. Flu vaccines are the most tested.

There are nastier less tested vaccines out there that score worse, but still better than the actual viruses. That being said a virus doesn't infect the whole population in general, while for a vaccine to be effective you have to push it out widely thus reversing the win a little bit. I am sure there is an equation out there that balances the risk.

> Google just wants browsers to become more powerful cuz then more people will use Chromebooks.

This has little to do with Chromebooks. Google just want to be the single purveyor of the web, period. They already have the most popular browser. Firefox and Safari fought them on quite a few fronts [1]. Then Edge became Chrome. Now Mozilla basically laid off everyone. Safari only exists on MacOS and iPhones (a large market, yes, but small in the grand scheme of things).

Chrome will only accelerate its blatant disregard of anyone and push more and more internally developed barely tested crap.

Signed HTTP Exchanges, enabled by default in Chrome 73. Media Feeds, enabled by default in Chrome 85. And so on

Why? I don't see a message that says it is only for stable addons. I don't care if they mark them as unstable, or hide them in the search, but I think itt should be possible to distribute them. I don't see why we would create a whole new infrastructure when one already exists. We just need to repeal the policies that they put in place and come up with ones that allow this type of "power extension".
>Compared to Slack it was barebones. You had a list of conversations and a view for the conversations themselves. I'm not saying it's bad; I'd probably prefer it in fact. But it's not the same product as Slack. This comes back to my point about Electron vs. others, maybe the reason Electron apps are slow is because Electron apps typically have more functionality

Old Skype was a P2P networking application, which is a way more complex functionality than Slack's client has (excluding Chromium itself), but it was invisible to a regular user. Server side of Skype had only basic things like authentication, simple messaging, contacts data, and telephony gateways (paid service). It didn't even store message history on server side, which was PitA. Contrary, Slack has a lot of heavy logic on server side thus taking heavy financial losses and unable to become profitable.

>Perhaps, given sufficient memory, you can also run clang in the browser (WASM) so you can compile and link in Chromium too

I wass talking about framework/toolkit, because we are talking about framework/toolkits. You cannot run Chromium in WASM to debug it, and it would take days to compile chromium in clang-WASM.

>Electron, Qt, Swing, JavaFX, Flutter all take the approach of drawing every pixel themselves, not using any "native" widgets rendered by the OS vendor

There are no native widgets on Linux and other posixes, so your statement is true for them. However, for Windows Qt is able to optionally use native drawing routines. Firefox and Chromium use native routines too, but the extent is way more restricted. Also, Qt allows you to use fully platform-specific features, which is very problematic in Electron. The most basic example is date formatting, which almost never works the same way native applications work, you always get small differences here and there.

>Anecdotally all the Electron apps I've used have been beautiful whereas the Qt/GTK ones look stuck in the 90s

Heavily depends on applications you used. I don't think you tried to use any 10-years old electron application, because electron itself is 7 years old. Have you used VirtualBox?
I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with trying to protect the character of the region. In fact, the beauty is something that — hopefully — makes visitors appreciate the environment.

But when you look at what’s already allowed in farm-use zones, there’s plenty of eye-sore potential. So, my issue is with painting with too wide a brush (and unfairly singling out a use that’s arguably important to preserving the environment over the longer term). They should have the ability to look case-by-case.

If someone has an area on their property that’s shielded from public view, why not let them use it for a solar array? Studies have shown that, properly configured, solar arrays can actually improve prairie soils. And like the large array in Hawaii, grazers like sheep can be incorporated into the design.

Just seems bonkers to me to outright ban the solar arrays.

It's worth reading up on Ketamine and its use medically before coming to conclusions based on this article. Notably:

1. EMTs are generally under the oversight of a head doctor and aren't supposed to take actions outside of what they're directed to do there. Even if instructed by a LEO

2. Ketamine is a relatively safe drug used for a variety of purposes. While it may calm down someone experiencing stress, it can also stabilize patients en-route to the hospital

While this situation may be a miscarriage of justice,we needn't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

That is where the storage comes in. Most likely the data from the drives is being dumped to a local NAS device with a limited capacity - more then likely a consumer level NAS sitting under someone’s desk. When it fills up it probably requires an IT person to get involved, and then they have to decide if they are going to dump data or do an unscheduled upload, being greedy they will probably wait for it to upload, then they have to start over or resume copying data from your device, so if it’s a honeypot giving endless data then you can imagine them making thee or four attempts before giving up and waving you through. Meanwhile they have hundreds of terabytes of your random data to store and index for 75 years.

So, you've got a choice: $200K/year at bigco, or $120K/year + a one time payout of $2m when you sell your company in five year. Yes, slow and steady can win the race, but last I looked, $200K x5 is $1m. The solo founder will make $2.6m. Of course, there's no guarantee of any of this. The talented engineer could be caught up in layoffs at bigco, and the founder could go out of business or never sell. Usually, exits are done at a multiple of revenue, so it is not uncommon to sell a small company with $600-700K/year of revenue for 3-5x that amount.

BTW, raising tens of millions for one million in revenue doesn't happen that often.

It's strange to me that there's no file system with basic features like journaling and support for files larger than a couple of GB, that is supported across all major desktop OSes (MacOS, Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD). All platforms support the same i/o standards like USB or DisplayPort, why did filesystems never make the cut to become a cross-system standard?

Imagine if you could have a backup drive (with reasonable modern data protections) that you could just plug into different systems and save all your files to. Isn't it odd that such a simple thing isn't possible? I guess network attached storage has gotten pretty accessible at this point so there's no need for it?

No, it's very much feasible to cool the CO2 down to ambient temperature and separate it from the nitrogen, in preparation for sequestering it.

Now, without setting a net-0 carbon dioxide emissions goal, which isn't feasible without salable atmospheric carbon dioxide capturing, there won't be enough incentives to capture the exhaust co2 from a coal power plant.
Fellow 0.2%er here, I've had my account for over 11 years. I was very active early on, but can't remember the last time I answered a question (although I still get plenty of rep from those older answers). However, I look back fondly on that point in my career - answering questions made me a much better technical writer, and helped cement my own understanding of various topics. Not to mention the satisfaction that comes with crafting a clear, concise answer. If I had more spare time these days, maybe I'd get back into it.
What this english article also misses is that the Belgian government becomes liable for the damages. This was discussed in the local press.

Anyways, if the fine print of the contract indeed stipulates that they will sell it at cost, then I see no problem with it.

In return they will be refunded for their research and can keep their know-how.
I think the best approach is to arrange the game so that players are rewarded for acting in the appropriate ways. I saw one game where to level up you had to complete tasks that included social components (like helping another player). Rather than needing to pay someone real money to act, you can probably pay players in XP or in game gold and they might even think it's fun...

I could imagine having a very small number of paid actors for key roles, maybe the two opposing kings of a region or something, but eve online doesn't need to pay the heads of corporations, and plenty of interesting stories emerge naturally.

> You do it through hard work on real reform at the local level, something that BLM (the organization) isn't really interested in.

But aren't you making the same type of over-generalization as the comment you are replying to?

I think there are many within the BLM movement who are working towards thoughtful change at the local level within their respective communities. But just like any large organization, the most extreme viewpoints tend to get the most attention, and those within the organization with the loudest voices tend to be the ones who push for the more extreme agendas.

I think it's important to keep in mind that any large organization is made up of individual people who each have their own opinions, motivations and goals, and often times those may be in conflict with the broader messaging of the group.

Your last paragraph really lost me though. I get it that you are addressing the most extreme version of the original post, but for me personally that didn't seem very constructive and I didn't find the appeals to fear mongering very convincing either.

You are correct that they do this. I've heard it for decades.

The primary problem with this is that people don't get to make up their own definitions for words, and force those definitions on the rest of society.

A secondary reason is that it's a BS cop-out. They know what they mean when they use the word. We know what they mean when they use the word. Lying about it when they get called on exposes them as the hateful cowards that they are.
