Like I said, I'm not going to die defending censorship of Hollywood or CBS or whomever, but I am much more concerned with the rights of ordinary citizens who only recently got the right to communicate in any sort of broadcast fashion (still nowhere near the power that the media industry enjoys).
EU is still pretty balkanized when it comes to rules and is a headache for businesses especially when compared to the US.
I see CDPR being bashed a lot and I wanted to chip in: I bought the game on release day on GOG and am playing it on a Macbook Pro via Geforce Now.

It's running very well for me. I've had 0 crashes. Very few glitches, and if, then they were cosmetic i.e. didn't cause any gameplay problems†.

The visuals are absolutely amazing. Combat is very nice. The skill tree is interesting. Night city is beautifully immersive and the story is thrilling. I'm not much of a gamer, but I feel that I'll sink a large amount of time into this game. As of now, I can't stop thinking about the game when I'm away from it.

† Although I almost had a heart attack as one time a bad guy that I had taken down just got up and sat back down on the bench he was sitting on before. He was still "dead" but just chilling on the bench. Hidden zombie mode?
Gotta admit I rolled my eyes hard at this bit:

“ Eventually you will initiate support requests directly with Google in the same way that you do for Chrome OS.”

(Full disclosure, I’ve never actually tried to get support for Chrome OS, but I’m fairly confident in assuming it’s right up to Google’s usual support quality standards...)
In the current system all the money flows to Google, Facebook, etc. and they evade EU taxes.

So, yes. A money grab. One that is dearly needed for the EU!
What version of coreutils? Try comparing the behavior of cp on macOS vs. a modern Linux distribution. They are very different.

I'm not saying Python isn't without its problems too. I don't even like using Python that much for scripting. But we should be clear about what tradeoffs we're making when we write Bash scripts, and not pretending like we have "zero dependencies".
It’s never “we care for your privacy” but rather “we value your privacy”, which is easy to read as “we assign a value to your privacy”. In that light, the messaging becomes clearer.
In 1491 it’s speculated that the levels of bison and passenger pigeon reported by settlers in North America were a population bubble created by reduced management (predation) by First Nations people.

The stable populations of both may have in fact been about half of their peak. And while that doesn’t absolve us of anything, it may mean when we are building a report card for our current progress, we may be setting the bar a little high, and could be directing some of that energy elsewhere.
What?

(the Republic of) Ireland is not part of the UK, and remains in the EU.

This is about end user licence/privacy/terms agreements, not corporate taxation.
That’s interesting: a lot of releases seem to sell up to 2-3x more in console than pc, but approx 60% of their sales are for pc. Is that because of Covid, or is it a trend?

In that case I don't understand your point. You seem to be arguing for direct representation in the previous comment and arguing against it in the comment below.
I’m not saying you should be afraid of traveling the U.S.

I’m saying I’ve traveled the U.S. a /lot/ in several different capacities (from personal trips to touring with bands) and that rural areas by and large have given me more problems in terms of police than urban areas ever have.

I’m not implying that you should be afraid to travel - I’m saying quite plainly that the incentives around CAF are severely misaligned and that cops are very aware of this fact and abuse it when they can, and that takes different forms but one of those is mundane traffic stops that turn into roadside interrogations.

The Secret Police State in western democracies is getting really out of control. The US is no better here (probably worse). What a sham our democracies have become.
This just isn’t consistent with the empirical evidence whatsoever. An overwhelming amount of economic analysis shows that the burden of regulation disproportionately falls on small business.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that there aren’t other justifications for any given regulation. But ain’t no small business owner or entrepreneur in history ever said “Boy! All these regulations sure are making my life easy”
Orion looks cool, but i'm curious - where would one learn how to use a library like Orion? Eg, if Orion is aimed at easy to use - i'm still not the target audience. But, i do write software that i want to allow users to sign. To encrypt their data at rest. To verify signatures.

Where would i learn what i need to use smart tools by other people? Where would i learn enough to decide how to choose solving my above problems with Orion vs GPG?

That's been my biggest problem with crypto. I know enough to know to be wary, but not much beyond that. Choosing tools with that mindset is difficult. And so far, taking a crypto class is just teaching me fundamentals of building my own protocols - where as i just want to use existing tech, safely, and in the right situations.
There is a theory that development was restarted several times, most notably in 2018 to incorporate Keanu into the main story. It seems like they couldn't stick to a singular vision and shifted goals too many times.
Every app gets its own APNs token. Developers cannot collude to track people with them.
> The majority of the surplus goes to the consumer, yes.

Which is different from what the author says--and at least it is usually correct, whereas what the author says is simply wrong. It is not true that in a competitive market there is no surplus.

What is true is that in a competitive market, price gets driven down to marginal cost, and there is usually no opportunity for the seller to practice price discrimination, so everyone pays the same price for the product--not just the marginal buyer, for whom the product is just worth what it costs, but also all the non-marginal buyers, for whom the product is worth more than what it costs (in the sense that they would still buy the product even if the price were higher). The extra worth of the product to all of those non-marginal buyers is the surplus, and without price discrimination, the seller has no way of capturing any of it, so there is little or no margin for the seller.

> I'm not sure how the author puts a value on someone else's preference for a view.

He's assuming that those people would be willing to pay some amount to have the tunneling done and thereby avoid having to see rails. That amount, that they would be willing to pay but which the owner of the rail has no way of capturing from them, is the surplus. Here the author is using the concept of "surplus" correctly; unfortunately, in many other places in the article he doesn't. He also, as you point out, has a misguided fondness for central planning.

>Interfaces in pascal are fairly interesting because they allow you to implement your own addref/decref routines for automatic reference counting. This was made for COM, but you can plug it into whatever reference counting scheme you like (say if you want to write python extensions or whatever).

Free Pascal now has a new way for that, stack objects/record with custom init/cleanup code. Real RAII. But not if used with inheritance
Pressing one home button is way easier than doing swipe gestures especially when the phone is in one hand. Muscle memory takes over and it's a joy. It's kinda like having a Blackberry side scroll wheel all over again.

This is weird to me, the argument is not just that company X is a private platform so they should be able to do what they want it is that they're a private US platform and in the US they can do what they want because that's generally the law and social understanding of companies in the US. At least for me it was never that company X can do what they want globally.

That's silly they're subject to the laws of the jurisdiction under which they operate.

The EU is free to regulate them just like the US is free not to regulate them.
Redshift is definitely not abandoned. AWS just announced a bunch of improvements and new features at re:invent in the last 2 weeks[0].

Its not obvious to me why supporting a newer wire format would be a high priority for AWS. I think I would rather they work on things like native JSON/semi-structured data support[1] than a new wire format.

It sounds like you're being intentionally obtuse here. The guidelines say:

Note: “Personal Information” and “Personal Data”, as defined under relevant privacy laws, are considered linked to the user.

This implies that email addresses are, by definition, considered linked to the user's identity. The fact that someone could submit a fake email address is irrelevant, just as if you collected mailing addresses and someone put in "123 Fake Street", or if you collected phone numbers and someone put in "123-456-7890".

I think the people on the margin here, who would enter a long-lasting relationship only because they can't get a prostitute instead, rank highly on the list of people we don't want to encourage to enter long-term relationships or have children.
> Set it to point to the top of a sequence of video registers, and then you can rapidly write values to that sequence of registers just by issuing push instructions

How did that work on the 2600? The 6502's stack pointer is also only 8-bits, just like the other registers, and hardwired to use page 1 as the upper byte of the ultimate 16-bit stack address. Were the video registers mapped into the page 1 address zone?
Your situation is atypical. So masks may not be a good solution for you. But for society in general, masks are the best solution. No amount of maskless social distancing can keep you safe but still be able to socialize with others. 6’ is not a number that was derived from science. When investigated, scientists said it was more like 20’.

But having masks and learning how to wear them properly allows people to engage in almost normal social gatherings. This is based on the fractional levels of infections in countries with extremely high compliance like Korea and Japan.
> The difference is that Apple is not a government

Yes, and this is a key difference between Europeans and (at least the libertarian/SV type of) Americans.

We trust governments more than corporations because governments were elected by us. It's really a difference in culture.
It’s not about citizenship but where you live. In place A the rules of place A apply. If place A is part of the EU, EU laws apply.
I reject all interest reflexively. I think it's great. Not! It just shows me how much tracking there actually is... And since I delete my cookies every session, I have to do it every time.

I still wonder what the 'legitimate interests' of ad companies are. I also wonder if rejecting the cookies actually works, it's not like I can check right?
We are seeing a lot of email bounced back, but otherwise usable.
You have to disclose this, but the problem is the question following this. If you collect the email address, Apple wants to know if you use this to link to the user’s identity. And this is where it’s confusing. Without a definition of "identity", I don’t know if I answer this question properly.
Citizenship matters not. Only residency.

Just because I'm a Britsh person living in the US doesn't mean I'm not subject to the death penalty or am exempt from having to buy health insurance, for example.

> About 3.57 million people left New York City this year between Jan. 1 and Dec. 7, according to Unacast, which analyzed anonymized cell phone location data.

Sorry, but I don't really trust the "anonymized" very much. Why should some company I've never heard of have access to my cell phone location data in the first place.
I'm using their own terminology.
You don't sound cynical or condescending, just lazy (or desperate for any excuse to talk with someone). This is such a common question that google autocompletes it if you start to type it into their search engine.

China will never experience a major financial crisis.

When one looms, they will start a pan-Asian war by invading Taiwan and the Himalayan watershed of India. Either they'll win and regain solvency with the spoils, or they'll lose and history will call it a war rather than a financial crisis.
Your argument seems to be AWS isn't prioritizing the things that you think are most important. I think thats fair. But that doesn't mean the products abandoned or not being updated.

Are you talking about the button in the LightSail interface to open up an SSH session in a browser window? Cloud Shell on GCP is slightly different, in that it gives you a preloaded, preconfigured machine to perform tasks on the command line that you would normally do with the GUI.
The complaints aren't about CP77 performance on Xbox Series X or PS5. They're about it's performance on non-X Xbox One and non-Pro PS4s. Which aren't just last-gen consoles, they're the lowest tier of last gen consoles. I don't think CDPR should have released the games on those platforms if they don't have their performance scaling right. I'm not defending their actions, but I think most people just have their expectations out of whack.

CP77 is the first AAA game released in a long time that was built for PC first and ported to consoles, instead of the other way around. Instead of PCs getting crappy ports hard-limited to 60fps no matter how much GPU you throw at it, and crappy control schemes, the dregs of last-gen consoles got really poor performance and visuals compared to people on PS4 Pros, Xbox One X, and the latest 2020 gen consoles. It's not acceptable, but it's also hard to imagine how you could have made people happy when they're that far underpowered from a hardware department for a game like CP77.
I’ve made one for myself as well, built as a Chrome extension loaded locally. This way no domain is needed and I did not have to worry about security.

It worked well for a while when I was multitasking a lot. My manager was very happy with me taking care of things without missing any details.

It's not naive, that's why we have laws.

Without laws, the people/groups you mention would just use the law of the jungle - might makes right - to get what they want. At least with laws they have to somewhat accommodate this process to get what they want, frequently compromising along the way.

I'm not saying that all laws are perfect, but let's not get overwhelming cynicism get the best of us.
Those seem like some decent mitigations, but I still have a hard time believing that wealthy corporations and people won't be able to abuse such a system for their own gain as they have done with the DMCA. And how those well meaning restrictions could easily throttle a competitive startup, because Facebook et al have the scale, technical and legal experience to handle these things whereas they may not

That's a good question, and I'd be interested in hearing more about what parts of the library you're hung up on. The intention of the library is definitely to cater to people who don't know anything about crypto.

My naive guess, without knowing exactly what the sticking point is for you, is that Orion could do a better job on the modules page [1] explaining exactly what each module is for and when to use it.

Right now, I'd say the state of the library, rather than its intention, is that it's extremely usable for people who pretty much know what they want, and fairly hard for the average developer to misuse.

But I believe the author would be very interested in something that makes the library cater better to people who don't want to learn crypto, but just want to get things done using it.

[1] https://docs.rs/orion/0.15.5/orion/index.html#modules

EDIT: After some thought, I think I would say that the API for Orion is maybe an 8/10 for beginners, but the documentation is still at maybe 5/10 or 6/10 for beginners. Someone who is familiar with crypto would probably be able to look at the documentation and know what they're doing, but for someone unfamiliar with crypto, I can see how there isn't a ton in the way of explanation of the various primitives. That would be a good area for improvement for the library.
It's a fair point. The enema company was the 2nd-4th entry everywhere except google's search product and Twitter didn't make the first page (again, except on goog). The only time I've heard fleet used outside the enema context is when specifically talking about a group of vehicles.

Fleet and fleeting don't really have much overlap in terms of definition. Presumably Twitter was going for the latter meaning, but went with the former.
I found Spectacle (since replaced by Rectangle [0], I hear?) to be a treasure in this regard. Key bindings to maximize and resize, and even change what desktop a window is on.

I picked it because it was closest to the window-snapping / sizing bindings I had in XFCE years ago, but it basically makes OSX window management no longer frustrating.

It was conceptually simpler to design for me, I'm not an electrical engineer but an SSR seemed like the most surefire way to make sure the circuits were isolated, and operation is really simple to reason about.

They are only moving Head Offices - not closing down campuses; most likely, it's a subset of the bean counters and admin stuff who may be asked to move. If you're cynical, you could argue they are only shipping the "HQ" signage from their Bay Area buildings to Texas.
