I can't see my original comment. It's a good one:

I feel pretty scared for you that you had this experience... It must have been very disturbing. And it's a case of you find there what you bring to it. After i read these comments i couldn't unsee the connection you mentioned for about half an hour. Now it's back normal, to the way it was before i read your comments, for me.
Feels like the second phase of moving away from the metal grey UIs. I like the split of the title bar with a left navigation column.
The title bar is a bit too big and hopefully the vertical padding is reduced a bit in the next release.
For myself, it’s the attitude to system permissions. It really shouldn’t expect a specific user to own anything in particular. MacPorts get this bit right.
You seem divided between becoming more involved with security, continuing as a Splunk expert, and becoming a "product guy".

Choosing between these and other career directions is mostly a matter of finding a specific good job in a specific good workplace.

My impression about Splunk (as a casual user who consults logs to debug application errors) is that if you are already managing data sources and creating dashboards you don't have much left to learn about Splunk: the logical step forward, depending on how senior you are, is either (instead of wasting time with more Splunk) switching to something else to learn a lot about some other important product (not to mention different people, culture, projects etc. in another job) or climbing one step in the architecture ladder and becoming the engineer who plans Splunk deployments and chooses between it and competing and complementary products.
Or Facebook could just ignore Austrian legislators, kinds of like uber did with local taxi laws.
without one clients will not be able to look up user IDs using 3PIDs, so its relatively important. hosting it yourself means having to email or message "us" in order to federate it.

Lawyers just bring up class action lawsuits to skim money off the payout. The individual payouts are usually so small barely anyone goes through the hassle of claiming them. The one positive is, at least it’s a small slap on the wrist for bad corporate behavior, but I doubt any company actually will change their behavior because of it.
I understand. I actually tried to read your comment twice and missed it :-D

Let's say a friend tells you their mother has died. You respond, "You must be very sad. What are you doing this weekend?"

Your friend gets upset. Why? You understood what they were saying and acknowledged how they were feeling. What more is there to do?

Does that hit home? If not, switch roles, so that your friend is the insensitive person who does understand how you feel, but doesn't feel the same way, because it's not their mother. Being able to be sad for a friend, for their loss, not yours, is a basic human capability, and refusing to exercise it when it is called for is indeed callous and insensitive.
> what is loyalty?

I wrote an article on Loyalty a few years back while I was on an 11 month break:

https://battlepenguin.com/philosophy/society/loyalty/

I'm not very 'loyal' to jobs, often trading for adventures every once in a while. It's a double edge sword; it's easier to get hired at places that really push the edge and want really motivated people. But not having more than 3 years at a single place does make it difficult when trying to find new jobs. At the same time, I'm paid at market value, where if I stayed at one place 10 years, I'd likely be at least 1/3 under market.
You get a Linux terminal, that will be why to prevent spam. The login only takes a public email address.

That's legit, think of katacoda and other e-learning platforms.
What annoys me is that when I do chose to login with A third party service and the app still makes me create an account and put it a password. They treat third parties as a fancy way to auto fill the email address field.

Not that you should “need” to do so (as in its absurd we still pay such high fees, but carrier roaming interconnect is still legacy tech for the most part), but most carriers these days have a “Intl data” add on that gives you either unlimited data for the day (usually around $10/£10/10€ based on experience) or as a full month add on for around $20 and it then uses your normal data allowance.
Between this and Jeffrey Paul's article shared yesterday about Big Sur and Apple Silicon[1], it's becoming increasingly tempting to throw my phone away and keep using only Linux with no applications primarily developed by these giants (i.e. no Chromium, etc).

Supporting initiatives like the Librem phone is also moving up in my list of priorities, once I get enough money to spare at least.

Without edges on the buttons, you no longer know where you can click. The affordances thus have shrank to the edge of the images themselves, reducing usability, especially for people who have motor control issues.
Very much agree. I prefer"The Lessons of History" by Durant [1], more focused and less "fluffy" IMHO.

> Even with Samsung and other manufacturers, they are the only additional party whose packages have admin rights.

It depends on what you call "admin rights", but from my point of view you're wrong. On Samsung devices, DT Ignite (Israel-based ad company) is preinstalled, which has the rights to install new apps.
Getting the right to install new apps means you can get any user permission. (like silently access camera, microphone, or screen capture to capture you typing your password)
Strange. It's possible the syntax highlighter is getting stuck on the UTF-16 surrogate pairs. Does it happen if you change the language to plain text before pasting in? alternatively try pasting in the decoded version (you can get it by replacing 'eval' with 'throw' in dwitter)... if the later still causes it to hang then It must be attempting to evaluate it!
Yes! I thought it was going to be a story about a pilot's first hand experience!
While it may be true that there are many selfish people, many aren't. Interpret the world as being packed with wankers and in your mind you deny people the chance to be anything else. I had a relative like that, he wasn't a nice person.

I was discussing how to handle economics in light of automation the other day, and at one point we joked that every household should have its own family robots which go to work and bring home a salary.

The major question on my mind is, should we distribute power by a democratic vote over orgs which control a collection of resources, or should we do it by distributing ownership of resources with individual freedom to commit those resources anywhere? Is one more efficient, or less likely to centralize, than the other?
Depends on what the app needs, but microG seems to help a lot. But the issue with the GSF is that you can't just use it when needed, it's either nothing or everything. Additionally, modifying the firmware to install microG can lead to Safety Net failing, which may also lead to some other apps failing. I use Android without GSF & microG and it's fine for my needs, but that really depends on what types of apps you use.

Rules aren't worth the piece of paper they're printed on unless there is an equally powerful force that can set terms. The problem right now is there is no counterbalancing force.
> Actually corporations (companies) are a legal structure invented to allow multiple investors to contribute capital towards a certain goal and have rights guaranteed by law rather than purely contractually. The limited liability is also to protect investors.

Untrue; the law of partnerships, which is older than corporations, already allowed people to contribute capital to a goal and have their respective rights governed by law. The legal arrangements are different in a corporation, those differences centering around the limitation of liability—the freedom from accountability—provided to the investors.

That freedom from accountability is the central focus of the corporate form. And it's arguably an aberrant path dependency; had we had limited partnerships first, the idea of business form where no one is ultimately accountable for the liabilities of the business—rather than one to which investors could contribute with limited liability while the active principals remained fully accountable—might never have seemed like a good idea, even to the investor class.
I doubt it. These lawsuits would be few and far between and Google still derives a ton of value from its free accounts in the aggregate. They might just get better at terminating the right accounts...

The BIOS is configured for RAID rather than AHCI/SATA by default. Bumped into that with mine. It was fairly easy to modify Windows to not use the RAID version so I could boot into Linux on one drive and boot into Windows on the other. Suspect I could get Centos to go the RAID route, but did not want to mess with it.

Trying new ideas in low-risk ways is generally a good idea. Government is generally incentivized to keep the status-quo and not take many risks.

No, companies do change behavior. The public interest argument is:

1) Companies can make a lot of money skimming $1 each off of 100 million people.

2) Federal enforcement agencies don't have time or energy for that. We can outsource that to private firms

3) Private law firms can file class action suits, and companies are forced into agreements where they pay damages AND often need to change behavior

It kinda sorta works too, in that companies stop doing the bad things. Lawyers collect the lion's share of the money, but few consumers care about a $1 payout. Judges approve deals to make sure they're equitable to the class.

It sorta doesn't work, since settlements are negotiated by lawyers who don't really care about anything other than getting paid. Few actually care about the class they're representing. Judges are former lawyers, and part of the corrupt culture. So in many cases, the changes in behavior are less than one might hope for.

I personally feel like, Apple is the best choice for the time being until actual daily usable Linux high end phones are a reality. Apple although has highly monopolistic practices are privacy oriented and are interested on just selling the physical device.
Offscreen benchmarks just mean that they are run at a fixed resolution and not limited by vsync. These benchmarks are better for comparing one GPU to another. Onscreen can be artificially limited to 60fps and/or run at the native resolution of the device which can hugely skew the results (A laptop might show double the benchmark speed just because it has a garbage 1366x768 display).
Telemetry is not something the device needs to function either. It's a "value add" in the best possible light, security breach in the worst.
This is what "Defund the Police" means in practice and hopefully this could lead to meaningful and positive changes. I recently witnessed an encounter in NYC involving paramedics and police interrogating an individual who did not want medical care, and any involvement with police. The paramedic was definitely using deescalation skills that I would usually equate with police work, as the police took a stand back and see attitude. I didn't see the outcome, but it seemed there was no one size fits all solution for this particular situation and the skills needed by both professions had a large overlap.

The problem seems to be about eroding trust in the police relationship with communities. The solution being proposed is creating new trust relationship with another public organization. Either way we need trust with every public organization/community interaction in the end and moves like this, if successful, are still just solving half the problem.
Telecom regulators see fit to make sure phone numbers can be ported from one carrier to another. I fail to understand why the same mandate is not required for email addresses and authentication services. They might not look to be as important as a house, but their loss can still have quite a significant impact on someone's livelihood.
The real kicker for me was Google charging a background preload as a view as such, even though the user may never actually see the ad.

Amazing.
Omg are you serious? Do you have any good things to say about NK political or judicial system? Would you defend Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia the same way?
I think the anger and hostility usually happens when the person doesn't accept that they've made a mistake. So I think it goes both ways. If someone contacts you about a mistake, don't immediately get on the defensive. Instead, relish in the opportunity to learn.
Just for comparison: If you insult a green party member in Germany, the police will literally raid your home.

> Even now, the outgoing Trump administration is seeking to dismantle the visa system for international students, and making it far harder to hire skilled workers.

One important rhetorical element in writing/speaking persuasively is the ability to articulate the “other side” of a debate and address its point. In this article the “other side” is simply xenophobic allegations of the current administration.

I’m happy for the author’s success, but not convinced at all he’s done any research as to why these reforms are needed.

The H1 visa system needs a lot of work. It is not a system that works as intended. Being a positive and welcoming place to immigrants is not the same as flooding the market with warm bodies to undercut local labor.

If you don't use recursive CTEs in SQL you have a guaranteed-terminating subset. It actually doesn't help any because time to terminate can be effectively unlimited depending on (in any combintaion)

- a bad execution plan

- an overcomplex query (tend to kill the optimiser)

- bad distribution stats (again -> a bad plan)

- a large dataset
