I am very glad foreign funded vested interest groups working as
NGOs like Amnesty International is leaving India for good.

NGOs like Amnesty and Greenpeace has been involved in shady work in
many places in India, including religious conversion and paid protests
in remote villages. Hindus being a global minority need to be cautious
and are worried about such conversion activities.

Indian govt has been asking NGOs to comply with FCRA Norms and many
including Amnesty Internation has failed to file annual returns
despite mandatory legal(pre-2014 norms) requirements.

India has millions of people living under poverty. To lift them out of
poverty they need JOBS. Being an trade partner of US and UK, India
has let functioning of shady NGOs like these work wrecklessly.

Whether it is Nuclear power plant or Copper plant, NGOs have been
involved in mass mobilisation of people by using foreign funds to
stall projects so that donor companies benefit.

If NGOs are so committed to their objective, they can raise funds from
India itself to work for it. They don't need large donations from
Multinational Corporation from abroad to raise objections in a
democratic manner. By using foreign funds these NGOs have been
successful in sabotaging Govt and Public-Private projects. So that
donor Corporations can get benefitted. Similar mobilisation was also
observed in Australia when Adani has been bidding for Coal mines.

NGOs were not working for their objective, but also were transferring
money from their account to other NGOs without proper clearance.
Shady foreign money transfers from NGOs also prompted authorities to
investigate these firms on FEMA Act. If NGOs were so clean, they
can fight the battle with local money than CRYING.

Foreign fund is NOT needed to fight so-called Hindu nationalism.

Foreign fund is NOT needed to raise political objections in a democratic system.

One cannot even read a recipe of a proper Gujrati Dhokla nowadays without constant screaming of "rising Hindu nationalism". XD

> many large companies offer services for free

Yes, indeed - free on its own isn't always impossible to compete with, you can often compete on features and quality.

But a combination of free and at scale is formidable, because of the bundling with other services, branding and marketing that scale allows.
You cannot use MP4 for live streaming. The file cannot be demuxed properly if the moov soon is incomplete. Frames cannot be located, it is impossible to decode it in the end. With live streaming, you don't ever have the full file until the end of the event, which is why you cannot stream it. Video streaming with a complete file is possible of course, but that is nothing special nor related to this discussion.

I'm not a Democrat. I'm not of the Left. That said the argument for wanting activist government at the Federal and not the State level is that it avoids free rider problems. i.e. All sick people move to California because they have free health care. People making money run to low tax States.

I'm unsure personally about how accurate that argument really is but it's certainly made.

Why Information Security Must Be as Adaptable as the Environment It Protects
> Hindu nationalism is just like any nationalism.

There is a fundamental difference Indian nationalism and other countries nationalism. Indian nationalism is all about bringing back the "varna system" which advocates stratification of society based on the birth and access to education is only allowed for the brahmins(priestly caste). This was the system implemented strictly before the Britishers arrived to India.

No country to my knowledge does denies education to its own people in the name of nationalism.
In contrast in other countries the nationalism is not about stratification of society or honoring privilege by birth.
The Constitution gives the judges enormous powers in the form of Contempt of Court act[1]. Unlike other draconian laws, this is not even talked about in open due to fear of courts. You have already mentioned Prashant Bhushan's case. There is this case of Justice Karnan, a sitting High Court judge, was punished for raising voice against some senior judges[2]. The outrage at the time was quite limited as he is not a known government antagonist. Ironically, Prashant Bhushan was also cheering the sentencing of Justice Karnan[3].

TVs have gone completely the opposite direction of what I dreamed of.

On top of all these ads and snooping, there are so few TVs with a smooth, responsive UI. Seriously, even in top brands the UI chugs along at a snail's pace. And most of the time the UI design itself is terrible.

Who cares about 8K if the UI takes 8 seconds to load.

People don't like moving, it adds uncertainty. It is done because HR and management knows this and has taken advantage of it to not hand out raises.
I'm not sure people are aware, but most countries find Amnesty International annoying.

My own country - Australia - has been frequently criticised by Amnesty (eg [1]).

Amnesty's job is to call out human right violations. Citizens of a country may very well say "oh, we don't like these asylum seekers, so we will keep voting for the government that put these laws in place" (in Australia's case). But it isn't Amnesty's job to look at justifications, only violations.

A robust, functional democracy should have space to allow critics, and while it might be unrealistic to expect the government to welcome that criticism, a government shouldn't use its power to act in reprisal against critics.

Some people in this discussion should consider this carefully. It's one thing to disagree with critics, but quite another to approve of reprisals against those critics.

It's also important to point out that state governments are contributing less and less to public education across the board, which also impacts the financial situation of public universities.[0]

Universities see the writing on the wall: that state money is dwindling and therefore more financial burden needs to be placed on students. I agree with your main points, though.

That analysis is incomplete because any car that gets used at all ages by time as well as by mileage. The car is going to depreciate and degrade on a similar timeline regardless of how much you use it. Keeping miles off just changes the shape of the depreciation function.

Yes. but also just running your own compiled code on Apple's iDevice eco-system.

You MUST register a namespace (com.mycompany.MyApp) and get a it a certificate from them.

For paid - that's 1YR for your app to run.
For free - that's 1week for the cert.

There's no way running YOUR code on YOUR device without it being signed by Apple (or jailbreaking).
I looked in to this about a year ago and found that many digital sign models either (a) omitted relatively basic features like HDR, HDMI ARC, or CEC or (b) weren’t 10% or even 50% higher priced, but 200-300% more (compared to fairly high-end consumer models, not to the cheapest consumer model).

Make sure they actually do what you want, even things that every consumer model has had for years. The situation may have improved in the last year. Also, I only looked at 82-85” models, so the situation may be better on smaller models.
I wonder how true the old saying about all publicity being good publicity really is any more. I can't speak for anyone else, but as I've become older, I've also become much less tolerant of unwanted interruptions and distractions. I don't mind a relevant ad that is tastefully integrated into whatever I'm looking at or listening to, but the patterns of behaviour I've developed online or when watching TV or listening to radio are definitely geared to minimising interruptions and disrupting the kinds of security- and privacy-threatening tracking that supports the big ad networks. Pushy ads that manage to break through tend to result in instant closing of browser, changing of channel, etc. so definitely aren't doing the host site/channel any favours, and they tend to leave a bad impression of whoever was advertising if they leave any impression at all.

The kinds of "feature" we are talking about with the Samsung TV here and other so-called smart devices will stop me from buying those products in the first place. But then I also don't use Windows 10 for my main PC because I think I should control my PC and not whoever happened to write the OS I'm running, so apparently I'm an outlier.

I’m not aware of any of that being built in the past ten years, some of the plans were canceled, and I think the momentum has been lost to accomplish most of it. Even just increasing speed on the Hiawatha didn’t happen because it traveled through a town that was able to limit the trains speed due to noise and safety concerns.

I think it started falling over around 450. I've been getting 500 on my Nginx for workers, so I bumped that but the resulting Nginx restart killed the count and it is currently at 217 as it has recovered but I probably lost tons of idle tabs.

The application has retained a 3 day uptime. But I don't think the 450 number is entirely true with Nginx causing an artifical cap on it. Would probably be higher if I didn't hit that limit. Drats, upped the limit, hope it recovers.
Ok, I understand it's secure because of the deno-style permission system, but not necessarily because it can be used to run untrusted code safely (sandboxed engine, like in chromium).

The core idea of an ISA is good, but I don't think anyone but the smartest people can be taught software engineering at the good level in just 6 months.

Any job that requires creativity for large parts of it, cannot be learned in 6 months. The human brain requires a couple of years to play with various projects, to reflect on them, to digest lessons before you start getting mastery over the job.

So... how is this better than a rescue helicopter with a basket (like the US Coast Guard)? Helicopter in an EMT to go down with the basket, stabilize the victim, place victim in the basket, retract, fly away (yes, I know, there's more to it). With this setup up, fly in with super limited resources and stabilize the victim to wait for a helicopter for exfil? Super rapid response, maybe, but search/rescue is also pretty limited in manpower, not just equipment... and limited on money. Unless you have extra staging locations peppered throughout, all these jetpackers are probably going to be based with the rescue birds anyways, which defeats the purpose. Plus, imagine the cost for the extra training, keeping up with certs, quals, maintenance, and oh dear God... the insurance costs... for a severely neutered helicopter. Probably best to spend the cash on an extra bird to fan out coverage.

I'm smelling solutionism... It's kind of like that boat "take over" gimmick without a weapon in hand. The enemy force will literally just yell out how many points they're racking up when shooting at a bunch of guys in jetpacks with their hands occupied in not-weaponry. Afterwards, they'll agree not to kill hostages as long as more jetpack guys are sent in for target practice. That whole PR stunt was a complete joke.

Damn, when I was a kid, jetpacks were the coolest idea ever. As they become more of a reality, they're so useless other than for fun.

> What? Why would you parse a DSL with regex?

Let's say I want to process a nginx or apache config file programmatically to change a flag. Am I going to parse the full syntax? No, I'm going to hack something together with regexps.
Dramatic fall was Nginx config bump and restart. Lost all those sweet idlers I'm sure. Hopefully it can go higher now with some luck but we might be past the peak. Really curious how far it can manage.
There are plenty of cases here in Australia, including recently, where people have fallen off a cliff and can't be reached by rescuers for hours or perhaps until the next day.

When that happens, it seems to be because the location (bottom of cliff) has extensive bush covering around it.

That being said, I know nothing at all about any of the above cases. There may have been bad weather involved too, which would probably also be a problem for a jet pack solution.
A hovercraft doesn’t fly not because the wing in ground effect but because it doesn’t have 6 degrees of freedom which constitutes flying.

A sub or a torpedo can fly through the water just like an airplane or a missile do through air.

Why Do You Need Augmented Reality Software for Your Business?
This article discussed the reasons why companies might want to implement Augmented Reality software for their online business.

Filesystem performance
Pretty cool usage scenario, since everyone can imagine a flying hero coming in to save the day. That being said, this feels like a solution looking for a problem. I am sure there are specific areas of responsibility that would benefit from a rapidly deployable single medic carrying a small triage kit with no patient return capability, but they are probably few and far between (especially when you factor in the above need with the capability to purchase, train crew, and maintain such a capability).

As a pilot of a helicopter whose purpose is search and rescue, this system seems a bit cumbersome. Yes, a helicopter can't land in all terrain types, but it is a pretty well established skill set to have medics lowered to survivors, and to have the capability to hoist and then transport survivors to higher level care. Maintaining this capability is expensive, which is why it is usually limited to public safety organizations, though some operators like Air Zermatt are private. While a jetpack medic might be able to compete with a subset up the capabilities of a hoist capable medevac helicopter, it won't have the range, speed, or full spectrum of services. If you end up needing a helicopter to evacuate the person anyways, you probably didn't gain a whole lot by having a jetpack medic fly out there first. Unless the jetpack bases are highly concentrated and very common in an area, they probably won't have a time advantage when it comes to onscene arrival either.
Exactly. I think there’s something being left out of the story.

Could that have been caused by a sudden power loss that corrupted a key section or the drive?

> Pay for work not time spent on the computer.

Consider the unintended consequences of what you're proposing. Most software projects end up taking far longer than initially estimated. If you tell your manager that you can have something done in one month, and it actually takes you two months to do it, does that mean you should take a 50% pay cut for those 2 months? Or that you should work 80 hours weeks to get it done in 1 month?

If you're a freelancer who doesn't charge by the hour, more power to you. But most people prefer the stability of a fixed monthly paycheck, regardless of how productive/unproductive they may be

The judge is right in many many things.. but this one caught my eye

> Microsoft has had a walled garden.

No it doesn't. I have never purchased anything from Microsoft. 90% of the software I have purchased is straight to the vendors (e.g. InternetDownloadManager, ACDSee, etc.). The remaining 10%, even when it comes to Microsoft products (OS, Office), I purchased them back-in-the-day from stores, and I got the CDs/DVDs. Same with computer games. AoE, Diablo I-II-III and expansions, and many more.

I know that M$ tried to pull everyone through their (imho) crappy Store, but still, I can get everything I want/need outside their marketplace and straight from the Devs, bypassing their store. Unless the Judge strictly means the mobile app store, in which case, I exited WM6 a 10+ years ago and have no knowledge of this.
