The point still stands, it shouldn't be allowed. It's a natural area for animals and it is a dangerous location. Those well trained/equipped who would normally explore areas like this would be fine -- but this could encourage people with less experience to venture into these areas unprepared for what they will face.

That terrain in Utah is no joke and many people have gone missing in those areas.
New York City is the worst example of an American city you could have chosen. Because it's bounded by water on all sides, it's the one American city that has developed in an extremely dense manner and is thus walkable. You are right for essentially any other American city, though.

For now. That's getting harder to do.

Eventually, everything will be monetized. It's getting more difficult to find public spaces where there isn't an expectation of spending money now. Noticeable.

And maybe it's not a fight. Better management is a plausible path. More people more happy, maybe with the cost of some people not being peak happy.
Your numbers are a little out of date. The updated this all 3 or 4 months ago. It's now:

1. Data cap for capped plans is 1.229 TB/month.

2. You can go over once every 12 months without penalty. After that it is $10 per 50 GB over.

3. It's $30/month to uncap if you are not renting a modem from them.

4. It's $11/month to uncap if you are using their modem. The modem rental is $14/month.

> No, that's a plain fact. Nobody ever buys security as an end unto itself.

a thing that can't be taken away from you due to security characteristics of the medium - that's very much a factor in purchasing decision. among many other factors. different people value different factors, so just be reasonable and admit that you can't know how are those factors valued by all the purchasers.

> Which in the case of Bitcoin is by a vast majority "getting rich".

you may be out of touch a little. there are phases in every investment vehicle and while bitcoin is still in price discovery, there definitely are people who are in it to get rich quick, but as volatility goes down and actually valuable characteristics are becoming more widely known, the proportion of those people goes down.

> With any other kind of security, you don't need to spend 10 times as much to protect a 10 times higher value

why not? maybe the coefficients are off, but the more value you want to secure - the more you have to pay. that's how it works literally everywhere in the world.

> there is a possibility of security getting cheaper due to advances in technology.

maybe there are and maybe we will discover them in future, but the thing at hand that we're discussing is whether or not to call "wasteful" the process via which wealth ownership is secured by energy consumption.

people getting their groceries locally instead of driving in to the centre of a city is a good outcome, though perhaps not for all of the inner city supermarkets. I am deeply unconvinced this is a broader problem - e.g. Regent St or Oxford St are still global-level retail hubs even though driving there is a nightmare.
I really wish ESNI used certs for IP addresses instead of relying on a DNS hack. It could do onion-style security with the outer handshake protected by the IP address cert, and the inner layer protected by the domain name cert.

Yeah, I'll be honest, if I had this sort of metric forced on me, I would completely ignore everyone, not just junior devs who (quite often) ask for my help on finding the right tool to accomplish a task. I can bang out code all day, that's easy as shit.

His golden aura would have been dented for sure. Like a lot of abusive people, he did very well when he could control the flow of information. But social media is undermining that.

However, I think it depends a lot on where in his career arc this transition happened. If he had been caught out early on, it could well have kept him from rising. Imagine the Twitter furor if a rising exec got caught cheating his business partner, for example. [1] Of course, it could have gone the other way; his conscious manipulation of his image [2] could have led him to be less abusive, or at least better at concealing it.

But if it came later, once he was head of Apple, I doubt it would have mattered much. He was already notoriously an asshole. [3] People will accept a lot as long as the money keeps rolling in and the asshole seems irreplaceable.

I've stayed clear of WTFPL because it's not an approved license (https://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical), even though it does fit it's requirements.

Exactly, and if I declare that a function returns a string, and then edit its code and add a return statement that returns a number by mistake, the compiler will tell me right away.

If I didn’t declare the return type then the function will silently now infer the return type to be “string | number” (which might or might not break compilation elsewhere).

"Why does it have to be a disc? Why does a console need a noisy, mechanically complex, and expensive optical drive just to read a license? Professional software has long used USB peripherals, or dongles as they are semi-affectionately known, as the physical manifestation of licenses. The disc has become a dongle, so why not just use a dongle?"

Why not take it a step further and use a digital licensing scheme which achieves the same purpose without the inconvenience of a dongle? There can be an industry-wide standard that aims to replicate the benefits of physical disc ownership (loaning out/renting the disc, selling/buying used, etc...), but in digital form. If you don't trust companies to do it right, get the government involved.

That is what is downloaded. Most AAA games are at least 32gb due to the large worlds and the level of detail required.

Everything that can be compressed is compressed, though there still is room for improvement on compressing mocap (motion capture) data. Mocap is done to get characters movements more natural and to help with lip syncing, though it can take up more room than plain video. Prerendered video is not very seamless and does allow player interaction with the scene beyond choose your own adventure type options. This is more of an issue if they want to show the player character as most games have extensive customization of the look of the player character.
Unlimited data with Comcast is only $30/month on top of your bill, having the overages upper limit be 3x the price of unlimited data though seems a little extreme.

When we used to use Facebook in high school there were tonnes of fake apps that I assume just existed to suck up data that would claim to be able to show you who viewed your profile the most too.

1. Good luck doing science without at least basic statistics. Have fun trying to combine your experimental results without using some notion of averages, pooled uncertainties, etc.

2. My original point was that the presence of uncertainty and the need for statistical analysis does not magically mean that whatever you're doing isn't scientific.

The benefit is that you are compliant when the Government contract you are working on requires FIPS encrypted devices. You cannot be compliant with your Government contract unless you use the kind of encryption the contract specifies.

You are paying for the certificate, not for the software. Its not easy to become FIPS certified, there are costs.
I agree. You do need to check the inferred return type (sometimes it will infer a union or new interface you didn't intend), but it helps with refactoring and encapsulation to not add those annotations.

I was a Peanuts fan as a kid and still am. Rereading books of the old strips was centering and calming for me the way the bible is for some people. It reassured me that it was... safe?... to wish for justice in the world and to want to be a better person. I liked Garfield, too, but it appealed to something meaner in me. There's suffering in both strips, but the way the Charlie Brown endures despite his dignity being stripped from him again and again is realistic, while the fact that Jon always bounces back is meant to be understood as unrealistic. A realistic Jon would be a crushed, hopeless, miserable person. Often the only purpose of putting a smile on his face seemed to be to make it possible to enjoy the cruelty directed against him. (Same with Odie.) Not saying I'm above enjoying it, but it's hard to put a positive spin on it.

My favorite Garfield cartoons are the ones where I can read John as self-aware, like this one: https://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=2351

Apple is in no way like Microsoft of old. Microsoft did not build generic computers of their own. Other companies like Gateway, Compaq, HP, Dell or Packard Bell did. The Microsoft tax was the agreement between Microsoft and those companies to install Windows on any and all computers they made and pay licenses for all of them. Since Windows had a 95%+ OS market share every computer manufacturer needed an agreement with Microsoft and no generic PC without a Windows license could be bought.

Apple only forces their software on hardware they manufacture themselves. If you want other software, just buy hardware made by a different company. There are still many of them.

The climate models clearly show that carbon capture is needed to meet the 1.5-2 degree C target. Without carbon capture of some sort we will very likely have >2 degree C.

Once you come to that understanding, the question is not how do we pay for carbon capture. Rather, it is why wouldn't we pay for carbon capture now so that we avoid the massive costs and negative consequences associated with a >2 degree C rise in global temperatures (droughts, more intense storms, massive human migration, sea level rise, etc.).

You can't just criticize the cost of carbon capture without acknowledging the costs associated with not doing carbon capture.

It's amazing what competition can do. When our local ISP (Monkeybrains in the Bay Area) rolled out into our building, the Comcast customer service representatives didn't even bother trying to match what I was getting for the price (500/500, no data cap, $35 a month).
I used it daily for my work. I prefer Word due to their mail merge for creating certifications (sometime, I have to make 150 certs and mail merge made it so easy). Also, I use it for form creations, Word's table structure is superior and flexible than LibreOffice Writer and Apple Pages.

Yea, it does have their quirks. I am aware of those and I know how to work around it or with it. Microsoft Word been around more than 20 years and it have legacy codes in Word to ensure it works with older format and few other oddities.

The renderer in Source is one of the places I don’t have a great understanding of. Quake’s is fairly straightforward, but the shader system Source has complicates understanding a lot more than if you had licensee access.

The way they talk to entities to handoff determining visibility is fantastic, and there are a number of other small design details that make the engine very pleasant to work with as a modder or game developer—but there are some things that are rather hard as an engine developer working with Source, or black boxes because no one has public information of how particular systems work anymore.

Even internally at Valve they’ve broken particular portions of Source and the Half-Life codebases because they don’t understand how particular interfaces work anymore, but some older members of the hlcoders community still do.
