you can choose the status quo of widespread human rights abuses in the US, or you can choose to speak out against it. Those are the sides

No, there is a third side where actually the majority of people sit: you reject the premise.

There are no widespread human rights abuses in the USA. It is not a country that is constantly abusing people's human rights, a term which is worth observing, is vague and politically highly charged to begin with.

Even if you take BLM, the stats show that their beliefs are wrong. The American police are not systemically racist according to actual data, let alone the rest of society. If their beliefs are wrong then it isn't a question of whether you choose the "status quo" or to "speak out against it".

This is part of why I've taken to blocking things at the network level (with pihole ATM). Ignorance does not absolve them of blame, but I can't expect every site to know (or even care) about the issue so I have to take measures myself (or decide not to care).
The DFF-Mono pattern is interesting because of how if you reduce the high-cut you can see the bands disappearing step-wise in decreasing density... I assume this occurs as the Nyquist frequency is passed for those pixels?

I wonder how long before these companies pull out of Seattle, or Washington entirely.

If it's just Seattle, will they just geofence the city and not allow rides to originate or terminate there? What happens if a driver is transiting the city limits, but isn't within for a full hour - does the minimum wage get prorated, or what?

I would really like to have fine-grained information on the distribution of emissions in a society. Nobody in my circles is flying more than at most once per year but I know someone who's flying bi-weekly over transatlantic distances (to either the US or to Asia). They certainly contribute a good deal to the average emissions that we do not.
But not to JUST that group. You are also providing "material aid" to every other group that uses your service which is what makes it apolitical.

We have a system for resolving political differences in America. It's called elections. There is no reason why every business transaction needs to evaluated on political grounds. In fact tolerance and commerce have historically been key to maintaining a peaceful democracy.
The ancient Greeks figured it out with basically layman's knowledge though. They noticed 1) Ships disappear over the horizon hull first mast last, suggesting the Earth is bent 2) The shape cast on the Moon by the Earth's shadow in lunar eclipse is a circle.
Samuel Eliot Morison, writing of Columbus, points out that every sailor knew that the world was round from seeing ships hull-down on the horizon. Aristotle--who counted for an awful lot in the Middle Ages--inferred the roundness from the earth's shadow on the moon, as I recall.
Your first link says that Rust puts linearity on the kinds (types of types, not types of data).
Yes but it is also subject to the powers of the market. As lonng as they don't use lobbying to give their product an unfair advantage, it's (literally) people paying with their wallets.
I agree. Also, depending on the compiler you're using, you may have some additional opportunities to look beneath the covers.

For example:

- With Clang, you can dump the C/C++ AST and/or the LLVM IR.

- With GCC, you can dump the Gnu Assembly (with source-level annotations).

These views can be helpful, especially for someone unfamiliar with the target machine's instruction architecture and ABI.
The BBC Micro:bit is already super kid friendly, and can do servos and audio. You can program it using their own scratch-like language "MakeCode", or you can use python. They have a web-based editor for both. And that web based thing also includes an emulated board, so you can try it even if you don't own a board.

https://microbit.org/

You can also buy kits that come with a load of sensors and nicely printed manuals, colour coded interface pcbs, and sensors with keyways so you can't get the connection wrong. They also include some extra "blocks" for the scratch-like language so you can really easily use them. Those are a bit pricey. Here's one example for £40 (which weirdly doesn't include the BBC Micro:Bit itself). https://coolcomponents.co.uk/products/smart-home-kit-for-bbc...

You don't need to spend anywhere near that much though. You can buy a micro:bit and then get a kit of transducers from Aliexpress.
This is true. When you are younger and inexperienced, you believe fact will change people's minds. This is just not true. I didn't figure this out until I was in my 50's.

It is very important for some people to convince others that their ideas are correct (which they very well might be).

Or that it's becoming easier to perform activism within work contexts? Especially with left-leaning causes that always sound good, justified and fair in principle, so they are easy for public/PR-sensitive companies to adopt without rocking the boat.

Essentially that means that for the company, it ends up being a win-win situation. They satisfy their employees' urges to perform activism and they get brownie points from the public for promoting a "noble" sounding cause with minimal effort, all the while not having to rock the boat by having to defend their opinion because it's defacto assumed to be good and justified. E.g. have a look at the whole Goya Foods incident to find out what happens if a company happens to support a non activist-approved point of view.
I think what's confusing is there's two different wages being thrown around here: Are drivers guaranteed $16.39/hr, in addition to $0.56/minute and $1.33/mile driven while transporting?

So can you actually use it or not? If you can use it, then I would say it is a real service in any sense of "real service" I can think of.
That is my take as well. I am giving Epic the benefits of doubt here. I am guessing the letter to Epic likely state all Apple Services relating to developer account. ( With no mention specifically for SIWA ). Epic took it as it is.

The point that Apple require and need to take special care to make sure SIWA works without developer account is the interesting part.

author of apollo here.

I think conceptually apollo and cap rover are pretty similar in that both try to deliver some degree of abstraction to the developer when it comes to application deployments.

Where I see a great difference is that apollo doesn't imply a special deployment or release workflow. You just use plain docker tooling (or helm for k8s). We also don't provide DBs or other platform-services. With apollo, you're required to take care of your stack's needs (if you need a database, create a service in compose and add a volume).

apollo's focus is on stable day-2-operations and giving great insights to what's under the hood (like direct access to metrics and central logs). We also don't invest time in writing custom code for web-interfaces and alike. apollo includes portainer (or rancher on k3s) which you can use to manage your containers; and grafana for analytics.

Another thing we focus on is to simply support industry-standard tooling and workflows (apollo can has a CI/CD workflow based on SemVer you can use to continuously validate and deploy your clusters) - we want to avoid vendor-lock-in as much as possible.

apollo is meant to be used in production and can replace the need for a full-blown DevOps team if used correctly. Not sure if Caprover does that.
That wasn’t the case for CDMA phones in the US (and back then not every manufacturer made models for multiple bands). There was no SIM card to swap in. If you could buy unlocked phones from the manufacturer without the carrier subsidy, what was anti-competitive about it?

That’s an interesting metric for anti-competitive practice. Isn’t a large number of user complaints basically the core mechanism that drives market competition? Once you have enough users complaining about an aspect of a product (or otherwise being underserved), why would they not go to a competitor if one is allowed to exist (as they are in this situation)?
Agreed, I've been gradually migrating all the big ones to https://github.com/pirate/bash-utils for the past few years.
Deliberately choosing to not not conduct business with certain groups on the basis of their political ideologies is a political action. It implies a disposition toward trade and exchange that is itself political.

Consider the fact that you cannot legally offer a service or a fee to terrorist groups (however that may be defined), money launderers, industries from countries under sanctions... the list goes on.

These limitations are political in nature and could be revised, expanded, or eschewed via political action. But even if they were all eliminated, this would not constitute a "depoliticization" of trade: such an action could be characterized variously as libertarian, free-market, laissez-faire, or something of that nature but it would nevertheless be explicitly political.
Hint mode is a great idea! I wish it was supported at the OS level...
> I would expect a government to have proper separation from church and state, so why is it weird to want a company to separate politics and mission

Because this is a non sequitur? You’re making appeals to protections enshrined in law to prevent the government from limiting the freedom and rights of individuals, when almost no such protections exist in the workplace. Why do people organize in their workplace? Because there exists no bill of rights for workers to prevent equivalent abuses of corporate power and hierarchy that are ostensibly so tyrannical when done by the government.

A better question would be why America has a two-track system of rights, where one must constantly defend their violation from the government, but also completely abandon them the moment they walk into their workplace.
Wow, thanks for that, I had no idea. What a sinister page.

No, that is a pretty US specific mess up.

At least in the EU braking DRM for thinks like research purpose is fully legal as far as I know.

It's a bit more complicated if it's a but distributing tools which can brake DRM.

It's no as complicated if it's about publishing a (somewhat) scientific document explaining the general concept about how to brake it.
If Knative is more self-hosted FaaS than PaaS, that explains the core use case for Apollo; a traditional 12-Factor App PaaS for Kubernetes/Docker-Swarm. Knative supports a Serving Spec for routing (like AWS API Gateway) but doesn't seem to have buildpacks for 12-Factor App frameworks, as far as I can see.

Apex Up [1] deploys web apps on top of AWS Lambda using Amazon's API Gateway as the RESTful routing proxy. Maybe something like Apex Up is required to transform Knative into a PaaS for historical 12-Factor App frameworks. ZEIT Now 2.0 did the same thing for Serverless (Cloudflare Workers only?) but the company has been renamed Vercel and has pivoted around Next.js.

I don't know, if you tell native English speakers that "cazzo" is Italian, I assume they know it's pronounced catso. Of course if they find cazzo in the wild without context it'll be like the zz in "buzzard".

How can you be “apolitical” and pay lobbyist to push crypto-friendly govt legislation?

> I (and many others) are of the opinion that you can’t truly be apolitical; claiming to be so is its own form of politics (and generally one that supports the status quo).

If someone just does their job with people no matter who they are then they are not political. Being gay is not political. Being trans is not political. Being black is not political. Saying that gays/trans/black people shouldn't exist or doesn't belong is political. Saying that everyone needs to care about gay/trans/black rights is political. A trans person and a fundamental Christian who works well together without bringing up either political stance are not political. If the fundamental Christian makes a fuzz then he is political and should be reprimanded. If the trans person digs into the Christians opinions until they find something to get angry about and then get angry they are political.

I don't see why this is concept would be so hard to understand.
IMHO it's job-dependent.

For example, can you be a gun shop owner without being pro-gun? Some would say actions speak louder than words.

On the other hand, if you own a bakery being apolitical is a lot simpler. Avoid the Masterpiece Cakeshop case and there's as little politics as you'll find anywhere.

You are having comprehensions. I was indeed referring to the nature of this article, which is Julian's heinous torture and rendition to the United States.

This isn't just 'extradition', any more.

The real free world, i.e. Europe, needs to stand up to this thuggery and do something about it, fast.

UK is showing itself incapable of catching this real attack on free society. With this precedent set - NOBODY is safe, not even one single civilian - to openly discuss the war crimes of our war industry.
If I remember correctly, some types of pedestrian crossings in the UK actually use sensors to automatically detect people waiting near the lights (and also detect if they're still around, or have actually crossed/otherwise disappeared before the pedestrian phase [1]).
If you want to do more than that, i.e. detect pedestrians before they actually reach the crossing, the problem is that pedestrians don't have turning lanes, so it's hard to tell which way people approaching the crossing actually want to turn.

[1] If I'm not severely misremembering things, one thing I like about UK traffic regulations is that it's not actually illegal to cross against a red light as a pedestrian if you're not obstructing anybody. Obviously if there's an accident you're going to be liable if you crossed against a red light, but if the road is clear and nothing happens you cannot be fined.

The switch to FinFET is already a use of the 3rd dimension. The channel is moved vertically to reduce the surface area of the transistor. GAAFET are also using the 3rd dimension.

But these are uses of the 3rd dimension within the transistor.

You are probably talking about a more global use of the 3rd dimension.

CFET technology is envisaged to exploit the 3rd dimension within logic cells. The idea is to stack the N-type transistors on top of the P-type transistors to save surface area.

But you are probably talking about an even more global use of the 3rd dimension. Where the idea would be something like stacking logic cells.

However, this will cause power supply and heat dissipation issues.
Nowadays companies are trying to bring the power supply from the bottom of the transistor (so-called buried power rail) to leave more room on top for routing. If you start stacking logic gates, where should the power flows?
What does reputation or class divides have to do with “i can / cannot replicate your findings”?

Reputation, class analysis, these are attempted explanations (of unproven utility) bolted on after the fact. The fact is, either your scientific finding is of sound methodology and can be replicated, or it is not proven.
Why makes you so sure about that? A suitable web server process uses zero CPU after it is started and opened the right port.
Absolutely not. You're just not explicitly endorsing one side, potentially having people from "the other side" boycott your business because of that. Or simply because it has no relevance to what you're actually doing.

Why is it that you NEED to explicitly pick a side? Especially if you are a business. In that case, everyone knows that your only interest is increasing revenue. That's it. Everything else is PR stunts in order to increase revenue.

I prefer "taking no sides" rather than plastering BLM or LGBT sponsors for the sole purpose to appeal to that crowd.
>> "Tritium, however, does NOT exist in nature"

Maybe I don't understand properly, but I'm watching the video linked in a previous comment (1) and around the minute 9:30 professor White says that "what comes into the plant is actually deuterium and lithium".

It seems he is saying that you need only an initial quantity of Tritium and then Helium and Lithium is used to created Tritium again. I suppose that it's what you refer as "breeding". He explain it as it's not a big deal.

Hard to take an article seriously when the author doesn’t understand the difference between the words affect and effect.
I think he’s referring to diversity of ideas, not superficial attributes like race/gender/sexual preference/etc. A group of people that look different but all have the same world view is not a diverse group, imo.

We're building open-source privacy solutions for websites and we also regularly scan the web for tracking technologies, as the article says Google Analytics is by far the most popular technology we find, followed by Facebook tracking pixels, Adobe Tag Manager and other analytics services. That said the amount of tracking on a site depends greatly on how it is funded. Websites that generate their revenue from advertisements tend to have 5-10 times more trackers installed than e.g. e-commerce websites.

So right now it's pretty much a "Win-Lose" situation as website publishers try to force privacy-invading trackers on users, which clearly have no interest in being tracked. Current consent management solutions are (IMHO) not a great solution for this problem, as consent managers that use dark patterns (e.g. each tracker needs to be disabled by hand, decline buttons are hidden two or three layers deep, ...) are not compliant and consent managers that give users a free choice have bad opt-in rates (which is not surprising). On our own site for example, about 50 % of users decline consent (live stats here: https://kiprotect.com/klaro/demo), based on consent requested via our own, user-friendly consent manager (it's open-source btw: https://github.com/kiprotect/klaro).

Another dilemma is that most publishers don't want to force invasive tracking on users, but they don't have much choice as the tracking/analytics market is highly concentrated and there aren't many privacy-friendly options that can deliver the required functionality and visibility.
