FWIW AWS just reported $11.6 billion, so I'm guessing a big chunk of that MS cloud is Office. If they were very close to AWS with Azure alone then I think they'd split it out?
> For debugging and monitoring, developers can access the console output of the board through the built-in microUSB type-B connector.

As a software developer who's interested in this but has no experience with low-level hardware interface, how does one debug with the microUSB connector? What displays the console output?
If we assume vast majority of Internet users are Smartphone users. There are total of 4.5B Smartphone users, China has close to 1B. That is 2.7B out of 3.5B.

Is this Poe's law in action?
An editor is absolutely right to push back on a writer potentially publishing disinformation about a candidate before an election, but I disagree that this contains any disinformation or acceptance of disinformation. It covers a lot of ground, but the media censorship parts seem incontrovertible, and the parts specifically critical of Biden seem pretty balanced to me. He seems to hedge a lot of what he says and provides many perspectives and sources.

We should be very careful about disinformation, but another form of information warfare and "active measures" which I'm sure Russian intelligence is and has been deploying is the spread of skepticism of true information and belief that any or all information could be disinformation. Division, discord, fear, uncertainty, and doubt are the goals; not just falsehoods. All of these erode a sense of shared reality. Just as any claims about a political figure need support, so do claims of disinformation.

So, I think it's diatribe time. Could you quote the parts of the article (with full context) that seem like disinformation?
That’s helpful. I and many others will nonetheless be skeptical given their advertising business is in conflict with our privacy.
It's important to distinguish between operating profits, and taxable profits.

They can have positive operating profits, but tax losses. For example, Congress recently (3-4 years ago?) changed the tax code to allow companies to expense, instead of amortize, capital equipment.

Joe Rogan strikes again...

Glenn was on his podcast yesterday and looks like that discussion was the tipping point to convince him that yes, he can do this alone, and he doesn't need the backing of a media organisation to do his work and put his ideas out there.

For anyone who hasn't listened to it yet, he was quite scathing of the rest of the mainstream media and the unfiltered aspect of Joe's podcasts gives a bit of insight as to where his thinking was at.
As with browser/device fingerprinting, I expect "service metrics" to be able to identify users regardless if their name is attached to it.
Terrorism is almost, but probably not exactly the right word, but it's 'of that level of concern'.

If Hospitals nation-wide are under attack, it's a massive national security issue.

We need to figure out some kind of new way to secure general purpose devices - and also - there needs to be much more investment in thwarting and retaliating against these people.

If some random hackers and do this - imagine how badly and quickly a foreign state actor with deep pockets could shut things down.
You’re correct but journalists need to do better. This article isn’t strong enough for publication, the editor made reasonable suggestions and frankly, it sounds like a tantrum.
The end equilibrium is everyone running cameras constantly in public spaces, and all public activities scrutinized by... well, who knows? For what ever purposes they choose.

As just one example, I'd expect the emergence of semi-automated blackmail - you can infer a lot from peoples' public activity.
I agree with you 100%, and was really just addressing the “swing is awesome” statement in the GP. I’ll take HTML etc over Swing any day, but I’m sure there are nicer alternatives if your deployment environment is native, e.g. SwiftUI (which I have no experience with)

There are plenty of things wrong with HTML & friends, await/async and webpack being my personal hair removers, but if we set that aside and just talk about the DOM as the API for the UI, it’s very robust, well documented and widely available. I don’t love it, but it works.
> people who only

I am saying that they rely on it more for communication than they do on phone calls.

I communicate with people much more over Facebook than I do through actual phone calls, and it would be less of a problem to be banned from ever making phone calls again than it would be to be banned from facebook.
> Why are so many people (see sibling below: "Perhaps legally, in this case, they're owed nothing") just rolling with the suggestion that this is a grey moral issue and not a legal one?

I mean, I dedicated an entire paragraph above that comment to pointing out moral possible legal problems, and used "perhaps" as an explicit indicator of uncertainty and doubt. The moral issue isn't particularly grey. The legal one...

There are various attributions for "Mozilla Contributors". Does that technically suffice under either the license terms or in juristictions which recognize authors rights? (What juristiction(s) apply - hosting provider, Mozilla's headquarters, or perhaps the original authors?) Do they perhaps more explicitly attribute the original authors elsewhere? Certainly stripping names from an explicit copyright header would almost certainly be a license violation, but does flattening VCS history in the manner also count as one? Did CC licensing terms apply at the time of previous CMS conversions? Were there perhaps contributor agreements and/or clickwrap licensing agreements previously which would've made this legal? Are there more buried attributions which might technically meet the burden of attribution while still being done poorly enough to feel slighted? Perhaps in some juristictions but not in others?

Can you answer all that with enough certainty as to assert that you "have any idea what you're talking about"?

> What is it about Mozilla that attracts this sort of thing?

Both sides offering takes that reveal that neither has any idea what they're talking about is far from unique to threads involving Mozilla. I dare say it's not even unique to the internet.
They won’t at the vpn connection but they will elsewhere. And they can design the vpn to make tracking at other layers more possible.
I know he was also referencing the VPN, but this also comes with Drive storage and other "benefits" in the Google ecosystem. I mean, these days terrabytes cost peanuts so it probably doesn't make a difference.
Your prediction isn't correct if your time estimate is wrong. I bet some Pacific islands will be beneath the ocean some day with probability very close to 1 (I dunno we could get hit by an Asteroid first). Betting they will be last month is a failed prediction. As far as I can tell they're not having any particular problems now they didn't have 50 years ago. I'm happy to entertain evidence to the contrary.

The greenhouse effect is totally human controllable. You don't even need to stop using fossil fuels or resort to absurdities like industrial carbon sequestration. Geoengineering used to be a thing; if climatologists believed in their models, they'd be able to come up with a solution that works. Painting Australia white, pumping sulfur dioxide into the upper atmosphere; whatever. Someone could at least make a suggestion which doesn't involve everyone living in a yurt and eating gruel. One becomes suspicious people whose only solution is the latter are millenarian cultists rather than science minded.
Well, the ideal chemical rocket fuel is hydrogen + oxygen - eq. the two things that make up water. Thats perfectly renewable once you pump some energy into it to split water into the two.

Methane + oxygen popular in the new generation of rockets is not much different, you basically add some carbon to the process & Methane can be made on Mars from local resources.

Best fuel for nuclear thermal rockets is again hydrogen, abundant everywhere.

Current Ion Engines run on noble gases, but supply does not seem to be a problem so far.

Sure, the uranium needed for Orion and Nuclear Salt Water rocket indeed is not really renewable but given the performance &opening the way to grab more of it from space make it a non-issue as well.

What I don't understand is how the mailing list itself works. When I want to start a thread, I send an email to the list. When I want to reply to someone, do I email the list or the person? How do I make sure the emails are threaded properly? During my first mailing list interaction I ended up emailing another developer directly somehow.

The git email client seems to have support for message IDs. They seem to work just like post identifiers in forums. Mail clients like mutt let users actually edit the email's headers and include metadata like that. I'm not sure if gmail does it behind the scenes.

Also, gmail has moved on to newer authentication mechanisms. Is there a simple plain text email client with native support for this? Mutt apparently requires an external program which is seemingly unmaintained.

The e-mail exchange that Greenwald just published is very damaging to his case. His editors make some reasonable editorial suggestions about the focus of his piece and he immediately screams censorship, impugns their integrity and threatens to resign. I think it's extremely likely that he has been planning to move to an independent venture for a while and was just looking for the most attention-grabbing means of doing so.

What is Google One? Is this the service formally known as Google Apps or some other service? I find it hard to keep track of all their products because they change so much.
The editors have made public statements about this conflict as well. Pretty much none of this is hidden from public view by now.
Being paranoid does not mean they are not after you.

Greenwald broke some of the biggest stories of the last 20 years. He’s seen the US government downing planes and trampling all over due process just to get hold of some of his sources. His partner was effectively detained and grilled in London for the sole crime of being his partner. He moved to a country that soon suffered a de-facto coup. I think his vision is actually less clouded than ours, to be honest.
What about the editors' opinions? They have a better perspective than anyone.

This is an elaboration of the idea that where data comes from is just as important as what the data happens to be. In expert systems this is related to the logical justification of a truth statement, as the statement is still true or false, but there is a Pedigree or Provenance for the data provided as metadata about the data stored.

Response from the repo owner:

it's unclear to me what exactly they rely on in tree-sitter grammars so it's hard to say whether tree-sitter-clojure would be helpful for them.
i think tree-sitter-clojure does what it does pretty well based on testing across a large number of code files from clojars and recent generative testing runs.
however, it deliberately does not try to do certain things (e.g. identify definitions, special forms, etc.) for various reasons. the approach is very similar to that of rewrite-clj* and parcera.

Sure, there's additions. But I would be careful to deduce consumer choice from what is most risk-free/profitable, a.k.a. the market. Cheap, decent quality "projects" would also be rented out in no time. But the profit margin and risk assessment isn't in favour of that.

>I feel like you're letting your biases creep into your interpretation.

You're letting yours creep into your interpretation of Trump's statements? Should anyone accept the results of an election whose integrity is not clear? Without any context surrounding his statements, they are hard to really condemn. Of course, if we examine the context, the President's statements are clearly condemnable. The same is true of the Atlantic.

I don't think that an India-Pakistan nuclear conflict has the potential to lead to a global cooling effect.

All the nuclear doomsday scenario estimates are based on the cold war NATO-Warsaw Pact nuke arsenals, where something like 30000 warheads might have been fired. That's a huge number of nukes, the world does not have nearly as much nukes now, and even less so for the smaller powers (90% of all nukes are held by USA and Russia).

India and Pakistan together have ~300 warheads; if India and Pakistan blow all their nukes, that's comparable to something like two years worth of nuclear weapons testing back in the 1960s, and the 1960s tests were nowhere close to triggering a worldwide famine.

Wait so what's the claim at this point?

The Hunter Biden emails are fake? or that they are real, but Giuliani got them from Russian agents?

Or that they are real, but "the big guy" doesn't refer to Joe Biden?

Or that they are real, but Hunter Biden was just saying shit, and Joe didn't actually do any of these things?

Any but the last claim seems likely false to me, pretty hilarious to see so many on the thread arguing otherwise.
Google One is essentially paying for more storage on Drive, I think? I am not sure what else it comes with.
This also seems relevant:

>According to the New York Times, on 1 July, the National Intelligence Council, which reports to the director of national intelligence, John Ratcliffe, produced a two-and-a-half page document in which various intelligence agencies assessed the credibility of the existence of a bounty program based on the available evidence. Anonymous officials who had seen the memo said that the "C.I.A. and the National Counterterrorism Center had assessed with medium confidence—meaning credibly sourced and plausible, but falling short of near certainty"—that the GRU had offered bounties.

It takes evidence to get to a medium confidence assessment, it is not purely "speculative bullshit."

Well, I was really into formalizing stuff when I was in college, you know proving that a cryptographic algorithm was correct by formalizing them as black boxes talking to each other, that sort of thing. Then I just started thinking about how to formalize mechanical things. One of the very things I remember is coming to the conclusion that all motions of a machine can be implemented as a combination of linear and rotational motions (and that's where the two things that move on mockmechanics, the track and the wagon, come from), but I don't know if that is true. But I don't really have any prior art, I had a 2d version that didn't work years ago but I think I lost it.

The Steele Dossier was not commissioned by Clinton. The investigation was because of Carter Page, not the dossier. Mueller's scope of investigation was very narrow, was ended by Barr prematurely, and was filtered through Barr.

Donald Trump definitely solicited Russian interference in the election. His family met with Russians in Trump Tower. Right after the meeting, Trump said to expect dirt on Clinton. Soon after that, he looked into a camera and told Putin to hack Clinton. Hours later, Clinton was hacked by Russians for the first time.

Mueller may not have found a smoking gun from a legal perspective, but let's not act like this is a Democratic hoax. Trump was caught doing it again a few months later, with Ukraine, and was impeached for it.

I disagree. On MacOS (x86) Docker runs inside a VM; which is running Linux (since Docker needs Linux kernel features). On the forthcoming ARM version of MacOS, it will need to run a VM, running the ARM version of linux.

So having Docker working on the ARM version of linux is a good portion of the work needed to get it to run on ARM MacOS. You still have to get the VM and communications setup done, but Apple has already said they have done much of that work.
