I run a couple of things on Scaleway. It works very well and looks very similar to Digital Ocean. Great UX for the console application and chap prices. But like Hetzner only a basic service.

Maybe we could create EU cloud catalog website for people to find all the providers that actually already exist (in Sweden the company Glesys is a similar provider).
Their Data Center offering now starts at $40000 per year. This doesn't make sense unless you're already severely locked into Jira.
Google+ just wasn't very good, the argument that no one else can do it doesn't sit right with me because google was half assing that from the beginning.

My family was directly affected by Stasi. I care about what the government knows and what it can do to you. I constantly have 2-3 low risk exposure notifications.

But it doesn't matter where they happened since I already know that I am carefully avoiding risky areas. I am sitting next to my window when working and people walk past that window within 2 meters. That alone could set off exposure notifications. Or maybe someone across the aisle in the supermarket?

Would I not go to the supermarket if I know it happened there? Would I not go for a walk if I knew someone 8 meters away from me on some bench was later diagnosed with COVID?

It barely serves any purpose at all outside of curiosity. The app already tells you everything you need to know.
Stop complaining about Google and start using Firefox. Simple. If it's not simple and you find yourself tied to Chrome then you dug your own hole. This type of thing has been going on a long time.
Let's consider this conversely. Do you feel that the tone, tenor and actions (of immigration resistance) would be different, in any way, if Euro descendants made up 95% of immigrants?
That explains perfectly why they do it in China.

It does not explain why they do it in HK.

HK is not China.
This is about gmail, not chromium, but nevertheless: If you’re not willing to adapt your workflow to something other than chromium, maybe you don’t value your privacy as much as you think you do.
> What are some ways in which Twitter is anti-competitive or acting like a monopoly?

You don’t have to be anti-competitive or abusing a monopoly to be the target of regulation.
You’re allowed to say whatever you want and I’m allowed to sue you if you tell lies about me. Twitter and other social media platforms are made exempt from this because they are hosting other people’s content and they’d be sued into oblivion if they could be held responsible for what everyone posts on their service. But as soon as they start censoring whatever they want, they aren’t a true public platform anymore, the content you see is what they want you to see. So they should also be liable to civil suits if the information they allow to disseminate is not true. This isn’t about the second amendment, IMO.
In Finland, the authorities reserved 6M to create a contact tracing app and all support systems. They ended up building it for 150k, with 250k more to operate it until the end of next year.

Half the population downloaded it in the first days and it works great. It's completely privacy-focused and the UX is great for both individuals as well as the government.

Is the German tracking solution really 400 times as complex? Based on either citizens' adoption or UX, is it anywhere near as successful?

Built by a small, Agile company, although not by a startup by any classification.
One thing to note is that the current situation is ripe for massive political power gains since so many things have been thrown into flux. That is why both sides are playing so hard right now. There is much power to be gained and that power will be locked in till the next big change.
I'm not sure clocking more than 5 hours a day can be defined as "part-time". Not to mention you need to add all the sales time (research, writing letters and coming up with punch lines, correspondence etc).
K8s means you'll have a single source IP for all your application's traffic so you can just forward it all upstream instead of having to hunt for which ports it actually uses

Alternative title: mediocre C++ is arguably worse than mediocre rust.

I’d agree with that? I think the power and danger of C++ is that it assumes the programmer knows best. Rust assumes the programmer is wrong if it looks dangerous. So.. yes?
I've thought this for a very long time. Now that we have tiny technology that can check your heart rate and fit around your wrist or inside your ear canal, I'm not quite sure why this isn't a feature. It would be easy to implement but be a huge marketing draw.
old software, software from a time before, often uses weirder more arcane code paths than modern apps might pick.
I’m not really disagreeing with what you’re saying. My point is that people are voting in their own interest. If you’re employed, 30+, married married, and in the top 60% of the income distribution, then in terms of quantifiable income and consumption metrics you’re probably better off than you’d be in say France. And these are the people who vote.

As to housing patterns, I’m sure it’s a combination of preference, availability, and affordability. I know Germans from suburbs in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg and they drive everywhere and enjoy the convenience. These are the same preferences of folks in the US.

As to health care: for people who have decent insurance, you’d be surprised by how nice American healthcare is. When my son had chronic ear infections, in sometimes went down to the pediatricians office multiple times a day. It’s not free at the point of use, but it’s cheap enough where it might as well be. It’s not obviously something that needs fixing.

Again, it’s not like the American left hasn’t been making the pitch for socialized medicine for decades now. At this point Americans probably have an overly rosy picture of European healthcare. They don’t know that French national healthcare has 20% coinsurance, or that many European countries still have insurance companies. It’s just that most voters either have insurance from their employer, and it actually tends to be pretty good, or they have Medicare, which also tends to be pretty good. The fact that some people don’t have that doesn’t motivate the average voter very much, and they don’t want to pay more taxes. Americans don’t have the same sense of solidarity Europeans have, and are much more individualistic.

How does this compare to Qubes+Whonix ?
I love this! Years ago I toyed with the idea of trying to map arbitrary files to some sort of 2d "hash" thumbnail image, as people are visually oriented and remember things visually. I wanted there to be some sort of continuity between small changes in the file that shows up immediately visually. This seems to solve those problems!
Google has been rewriting the click target in gmail's web presentation for years. That is not the same, or even related, to changing the URL in the email itself (as presented by SMTP or IMAP).
I think those are the optics because it never took off so it looked half-assed but they made an effort (Google+ was also launched a long time ago so it looks antiquated by todays standards). Maybe a better argument is that its been decades and nobody is meaningfully competing with facebook or Twitter in their respective categories even though there is tremendous economic incentive to do so. Network effects are very difficult to break. When the president is on Twitter nobody wants to be on Bob's basement network. Its locked in a feedback loop.

Follow up comment here because Ive apparently reached my limit for a while: I believe you. I still think a Google half-ass is going to be a stronger effort than another start ups full out stab at it. Facebook is the biggest "country" on earth almost by a factor of 2x with 2.7 billion people. Its just other worldy large and difficult to compete with especially today. But I get what you're saying.
So they're reselling Google Cloud services? Subsidized by our tax money?
Good luck! As others said, few typos and I’d suggest having someone else review the copy on the site. For example, this is the first thing I read, and it does not feel like natural English.

Executive Communication with Harrison Metal's Michael Dearing – Heavybit
Sounds like a solid defense against lock in, market capture, and similar deficiencies in the intersection of technology and commercialization.
Perhaps try noise-cancelling speakers instead of headphones.

This talk by Michael Dearing on the Minto's Pyramid is one of the best videos I've seen about how to communicate clearly as a leader. Added to my Anki Notes app as there are so many golden nuggets in it, I want to remember and apply forever.
> Then I’ll spend part of the night worrying about things like a financial result at work or whether or not I locked the basement door.

May I gently suggest that it sounds like you're papering over the real problem?
> The only thing that can solve this problem is structural change.

Well, care to elaborate on this? What do we have to change, and to what end?
> If Facebook is to make its encrypted chat services interoperable with third parties, it must reserve the right to aggressively fix bugs and patch vulnerabilities. Sometimes, this will make it difficult for competitors to keep up, but protocol security is not something we can afford to sacrifice.

This looks like a barn door, not a loophole. What would stop major players from updating their proprietary protocol on a daily basis? The overhead of staying on top of a dozen big social media sites' protocols would be absurd.

I agree with the need for security, and I see that the industry has failed to update email; but I see that more as a consequence of the industry continually trying to "disrupt" email through the creation of walled gardens.
the thing is, it will get better. your post will slowly rot & deprecate & grow wrong, while the parent's hope & optimism will shine through. and perhaps it might be even better than native. perhaps you'll be able to stream faster, load levels faster, run more interesting config than you could before. in my very very humble opinion i recommend a more unlimited perspective.

perhaps it will always be a struggle. even if we never make it, i believe it offers diversity & new chances at betterment. that project of betterment is one i for one would have us embark upon.
> Italy's current gun control laws date to the fascist period, notably the public safety act of 1931.

9 years after Fascism raised to power and abolished democracy in Italy.

BTW you are not reading it well, what the Royal Decree No. 773 of 1931 established was that production of arms had to be licensed by the regime and that armed military parade were abolished UNLESS EXPLICITLY AUTHORIZED

Guess who gave the authorizations?

Exactly! the fascist prefects!

After all fascism went to power by marching to Rome in a military armed parade...
Right, it was more trouble and not as cheap as a commodity router, if you paid the same for a commodity router you'd be getting much more modern wifi like 11ax. However for people who considered OpenWRT, there are few equivalents... pfsense but it seemed I would have just moved sideways and the lesson of the CVE was to align with desktop type distros that have infrastructure teams and more eyes.

This has two mini PCI cards for wifi, one for 2.4GHz and one for 5GHz, they don't reach comparable speeds but it is very reliable. It also has 128GB msata SSD mini PCI.

Once Linux was installed, I was surprised nmcli + firewalld is really powerful now, I could set up a multizone AP with two mini PCI cards and Ethernet routing in a couple of hours googling, and it worked stably and just how I intended. For anything else, it's a normal Linux box with the kind of normal storage and packages you don't get on commodity routers.
Just curious can we try a C version?
As an occasional OpenBSD user since the early-ish days in the late 90s, this makes me feel old.

Noting here that it worked in Firefox 82 (Gmail).
Thanks for the BMI number. I didn't pay too much attention to pricing of things when I was there (bit of a working holiday), but those numbers help put things in perspective. I've seen some areas in the US with similar speeds like that for business cases be ~$100/month - still more than your .ro pricing, but I think most places that can get those speeds will still have somewhat higher pricing.

Home - most folks I know don't have those sorts of home speeds, nor have access to those speeds in their areas. Often people bundle internet/tv/phones/etc, so they may get a 'better' price thinking about individual components, but... $9 is pretty darn good. My home prices have gone down a bit over the years as speeds have gone up a bit, but I'm still tied to whatever's offered in this geography.
> Google seems to hide this via Javascript.

I'm like 200% sure Google can't "hide this via JavaScript" (whatever "this" means) in my native mail client if they have actually rewritten the URLs, which is the accusation here.
Sad to see this excellent comment so far down in the list. It's making me want to read some Arendt.

Pray on people's fear to get them to do something in the name of 'public safety' with weak scientific backing?
That's literally textbook strong man tactics.

It's how Duterte murdered half of his opponents in the Philippines with the fictionalized drug war. Murder in the name of 'public safety'.

I'm sure there were people supporting Duterte saying it's just common sense as well.

Sad how easily influenced people are.
I worked around that by briefly enabling history, setting the Home address and then immediately turning history back off. Obviously not ideal but it solved the problem for me.

You ignored the part of my comment where I showed that English spelling is inconsistent even between words that have purely Old English origins. I really don't think your hypothesis holds water. The chaotic spelling of English is a historical coincidence and not some necessary consequence of how the English spoken language developed.
What cebert is saying, and what I absolutely agree with, is that if the copy on the website itself contains bad or clumsy English, then I'm not going to explore the samples themselves.

I have to perform a few double-takes as I read the site to try and parse the meaning out. I did duck into the samples themselves, and it's much the same there as well.
Depends. It could be argued that DARPA and it's development programs during Cold War were top-down. They were providing a market for the innovators, so they could pop up and do whatever their vision was.

But that is something different that taking all the funds by incumbents.
You win Risk by starting in Australia. What's a smaller problem with the same properties? User interface.

Our phones should learn a private language with us. My dog learns after one repetition; Zoom should learn to arrange my windows as I like, at least after 47 repetitions.

For the microdose-at-work developers, the trippiest arena would be in the visual realm, where our brains aren't so crippled by convention. Make a tablet/pen drawing app that develops a common language with the user.

I'd also consider setting early expectations in advance (otherwise people will always feel we can do more), and clearly state what will not be promoted. Lastly, communicate once a month (at least) changes in plans - features that were promoted (new or existing), things that we had to drop, and things we've learned. Often the problem of lack of speed is lack of visibility. Easier said than done, but it's a skill worth practicing.

If that doesn't work, like it kind of won't for me either, go with Microsoft Edge. They're currently based on Chromium but that's only because they're trying to embrace and extinguish Google Chrome. It's another big giant but at least we're giving Google a run for their money.

- How long do solar panels last before you need to replace them though?

A lot of them offer warranties for 20-25 years. Most tier 1 panels are expected to last 25-30 years.

- I notice that battery prices are roughly halving every 3 years. At what point does it become cheaper to attach batteries to Indian solar plants than it is to operate coal powered plants?

At a grid level this is a complex question that I'm not completely qualified to answer because it goes into the larger question of energy mix and energy security. At a factory or building level, we are not that far - we're already offering monthly packages (in terms of cost) which amounts to 10-15c/unit of a blended rate (solar + battery). The min it breaches 8c/kWHr blended rate, this can become more permanent. I'm speculating but some of what I've seen in Li-ion and ESS flow costs we may be two years or less out.

Where have you seen any source that isn't Google or Microsoft say that it "addressed all the major concerns"?

And what exactly has changed in the past year to do so?

My understanding is that webRequest blocking is deprecated and a limited size static list will replace it. No?

Edit: spec still shows ~35,000 total block entries, far too few. A medium sized marketing firm could, on their own, set up 70,000 distinct s3 bucket URLs, or a large one could easily justify that many distinct domains. Many existing block lists and uBlock's dynamic (uncountable) behavior far outstrip these limitations. This spec will break the back of ad blocking for good, and Chrome engineers and PMs know it.

The social media companies are arguing that "social media" is not an industry by itself. They certainly aren't going to have to argue that they don't have a monopoly on a specific genre of social media.
One dollar spent in Russia gets you more than in US. You cannot compare household income directly, you must go through PPP (purchase power parity). Even then, you might have expenses that they don't (medical, for example).

So in the end, objective comparison would have to go much deeper, than median household income.

If you're thinking about energy consumption in programming, this article is very interesting:

"C Is Not a Low-level Language" https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3212479

> On a modern high-end core, the register rename engine is one of the largest consumers of die area and power. To make matters worse, it cannot be turned off or power gated while any instructions are running, which makes it inconvenient in a dark silicon era when transistors are cheap but powered transistors are an expensive resource.
It seems like this is more a critique of the design of the standard library than the language itself. You could create a library that behaved similar to the Rust version, offering the same compile-time safety checks, in C++. I'm sure it would also be equally trivial to parallelize the C++ version with Boost or some other library (except that you wouldn't get the nice error about the unlocked hash map, so I have to hand it to Rust on that point).

I think the author's problem is that C++ even allows you to do it the wrong way in the first place, but I'm sure that you could design an unsafe FS API with Rust as well (though it might be a little harder).
That is why I said "on gmail.com" which is Googles web interface. I don't use a local mail software.
I'm having difficulty understanding why a corporation is said to illegally repossess rather than steal/commit theft.

Whether there was a legal process defined or not, if it's ambiguous enough to have been determined to be illegal, this should not be handled as glorified breach of contract, and actually handled as what it would actually be if anyone else did it; theft, with conspiracy or fraud charges depending on how much digging the repo providers performed before rolling out and whether it can reasonably be said to pass muster.

Throw in extortion for the storage fee part. If we don't treat a company like the collection of adults they should be, and hold them to a higher standard of collective action, then it's no wonder why the world looks more like a corporatocracy every day.

The fee extracted should not only be much higher, but should also be leveraged to provide relief for the wronged.
