Yeah, I know a lot of people were hit by this one. It's a macOS GPU driver bug introduced around April. Apple has made several attempts to fix it but it continues to be an issue. https://crbug.com/1068170
Okay but you can't have that way and then have the liability rest on the company for recompense in the case of a vulnerability. That's why this has gone this way because of the threat of being sued.
When I searched for something like that, all I found was to hide my serverless behind RapidAPI, which also include costumer facing payment processing.
Sure, while it's not perfect, the data for those 3 weeks between the first and second shot still can provide a lower bound approximation for immunity, which I assume is where the 60% comes from.

The point about how long single dose immunity lasts is fair though.
Let's have a conversation about "cyber" product liability as society, then, instead of leaving it up to the hardware manufacturers and software companies to decide.

Individuals should bear some of the liability for how their devices are used. If my device that I've opted to take off the vendor-prescribed updated train causes a public menace that should be my liability.
I didn't mean it that way. I meant to point out that you're stuck between a rock and a hard place whether you're a GNOME user or Windows 10 user. It's possible to stop updating, but you probably can't, because you probably need something in some Windows or GNOME release down the road.
Thanks for the data, yep that’s pretty bad.
Popular tourist destinations that had open boarder policies might have restricted them considerably. It is not uncommon that cruise personnel do not have a passport with rights to go into the country where they are docked.
Many also plan on the cruise ship to return them home, and don't have funds for a flight home from mid-trip, even if they would be given right-of-passage. Some rent out their homes while they expect to be away working.
Let's Talk About How Much Mass Effect 2 Rules
I live in Sweden and make $70k / year. Full stack dev. I was recently in the Bay area and the absolutely only thing that is better is the weather. Cities are dirty and filled with homeless people. Infrastructure (roads, bike lanes, walking paths, Internet, 4G, electricity, water) is all worse. Standard of living feels more like eastern Europe in 80s. Traffic is insane. Getting around by walking felt really unsafe. Public transport is pretty bad and outdated. I wouldn`t want to sacrifice the lifestyle we can enjoy for 3 times the money. Free health care is only one tiny thing. For example we just had a baby for which we were invoiced around 130 usd. I wonder how much that would be in the US. Now my wife will be on paid maternity leave for around 10 months, and then I will also take around 10-11 paid months off. I wonder how many dads do that in the US? I would guess the ones that asked for it got fired. After summer, if the corona situation is ok, me and my wife will be off together with the baby for around 3-4 weeks. Not a problem since my wife has 5 weeks of vacation and I have 6-9 (7 for 2021). My sister and her husband are doing the same and together with my parents we are planning a long trip to Turkey. And you accrue vacation days during parental leave. Right now I am also thinking about taking 6 months off as unpaid leave of absence to start my own company, as is my legal right.

$1.5k / month was my total cost of living as single! That was owning my own condo with 15 minutes bike ride to Stockholm city center. The rest I mostly used for vacation trips and did 4-5 (one week each) every year. No need to save for unexpected health care bills, your unborned kids college education, grandmas retirement home, that car you need to buy to commute 1 hour to your job etc.

That 3x salary comes with a really high price! In reality I would probably not make more than 120k / year in the US though. With that said, I can understand that some people really enjoy spending most of their lives working for the man, and getting a high salary and skipping out on vacations and work life balance. But not for me.
And that's a different issue, you are conflating your energy use criticism with an arbitrary meaningful use criticism. Others may be willing to have that argument with you, but I know how those go: Someone says something about another industry's use, you say something about slow databases, they say something about another use case, you say something about why bitcoin/blockchains are not the best solution for that use case, rinse repeat.

The amount of energy without detailing the source of energy is not a valid argument to support any argument you have about why it is being used. Move off of it, or criticize the sources in a more nuanced educated argument. It should be 100% renewable or part of a sustainable solution, not only will you get further in your argument by focusing on the market participants that actually are wasting industry, you will also be helping!
Sure that makes some sense.

But it's somewhat ugly as well, from an architecture point of view. Because that argument translates to anything else you might want to do with these objects.

In past libraries for C++ I've tried to prevent this kind of coupling by adding generated template methods like "walk(f)" where f would be a templated callable, called with a descriptor and data reference for each field. Any kind of pretty printer or SQL statement can be built that way.
If I start a blog in which I take information about international affairs, and synthesize it into reports, analyses and appraisals - I am now a "Non-state intelligence agency", albeit a very small one.

So going after #2 sounds even more silly than going after #1.

As for the epithet "Dark", that's just empty rhetorical embellishment.
Airline pilots are human, too. We do not accept their mistakes. Accepting racism, cruelty, and violence because those are human defects will not improve public safety.
Yes, even if this was not developed in a lab, every government in the world is now 100% aware of the potential uses for bioweapons. We should discuss how we would deal with and detect attacks like that in the future.

Furthermore, we should talk about ethical disclosure responsibilities that all countries can agree on for outbreaks going forward as well as what will happen if those rules are not followed. For example, countries around the world should agree that if a country experiences a pandemic outbreak and they don't take certain measures to stop an international spread and disclose updates to the world, they will be liable for the extended outbreak. Allowing a virus like this to spread internationally while covering up details where now more than a million people have died is really grounds for war. Even if the virus was not created in a lab or intentional in any way, any limitation on communication and disclosure can have massive impact.
>and your support for police brutality

Show me where I supported policy brutality?

Here's a hint: NOBODY supports police brutality.
On bullshit propietary formats like Flash and its supporters, I remind you a lot of w95 era games are now unplayable because of similar reasons. Not even under Bochs, Qemu with a perfectly setup VM with PCI under w95 or w98, with both VGA drivers tested: Cirrus and UniVBE.

Flash will follow the same path, but unlike those pesky Direct Draw spin-o-rama games, Ruffle works with ease and back in the day you could play swf embedded videos in a video player with a library. So, stop whinning. We, the older abandonware gaming users have it worse, far worse.

ScummVM may support that w95 game one day, but today it doesn't.

Oh, and for Sure Scummvm in a near future will make standalone SWF games playable.

I really don't see any reason why there is need for humans on highways. That is inter-hub transports. Even more optimally we would have rail infra for this, but sadly that is not cost or space effective.

I don't see humans going away for last 10 miles, that is delivery. Possible to make automatic, but there is an other layer of robots to be involved. And the environments like stores and private business in cities are much harder to design for this than hubs themselves.
Ah yes that is true. It's a tradeoff between how much you need the old software to keep working and how much you need the other updates to the platform.
This is true, though I question the point. As far as I can tell, few to none of those things can actually make things happen. Actual exercisable power tends to come only with office, or something equivalently public.

On top of that, and more to the point, most of those things come with the same basic cost- you won't make it past the front door anywhere without answering nosy questions that end up on record somewhere. Even donations aren't private; consider e.g. campaign finance law. I think the only thing on your list you can just show up to is protests, and those can come with severe costs in the end, too.

The general rule of thumb I've come to is that most people who do not want to end up documented on some unexpected corner of the internet would be well advised to stay as far away from government or politics as they possibly can. Hence the irony: anyone who wants to work on fixing society's privacy problem- or anything else for that matter- at essentially any level will first have to throw away their own. This is a great reason to stay home, instead.

(As a side note under "volunteering your expertise", I don't think I've ever seen any organization I cared about express need for e.g. volunteer developers. It seems to be an all but useless skill for fixing these sorts of problems.)
> The first major VMware version which does not support the installable desktop client has a plenty good enough HTML5 version of the web client

That's false. The old thick client stopped working with 6.0, which got a very poor, limited and extremely buggy HTML5 client in one of its latest updates. 6.5, latest update, has a somewhat usable but still limited ( missing features) HTML5 UI ( funnily enough some new features were only in the HTML5 UI, while some others were only in the Flash version). The first version that had a fully usable for everything HTML5 UI is 6.7 Update 3, which came out a few months ago.

The federal government would save 600 million dollars, and Raytheon employees would lose them.

Entirely fair to say "well Raytheon factories should be building [tractors / ventilators / etc] instead, but it's not like the money is being shoveled into a hole and buried. The money stays in the US, backstopping US manufacturing.

Sending that $600 million to overseas scammers would still accomplish nothing, whereas "wasteful" defense spending does.
Maybe Tesla can revive Elon's "mini-sub" idea.
I think it’s more complicated as a 40h/week could be around ~40% of your time during the working years of your life. Making sure working doesn’t make you unhappy for the rest of the week is a huge deal.

Similarly, having more money hits serious diminishing returns. Watching a 500$ TV vs a 5,000$ TV doesn’t actually change much in the moment. Jump all the way to a 500,000$ home IMAX and watching a terrible movie still sucks.
I like the idea but it’s a bit concerning that everyone would be expected to build models in Python. You’d think there would be enough reuse and structure that it wouldn’t be needed or an application could be built to simplify the construction of the models.

If it’s so complex that it needs to be coded up in Python and everyone is doing that bespoke each time it feels like alarm bells should be going off.
> I'm was quite surprised you didnt offer your own stringview implementation (or something similar) the last time I looked at protobuf.

We sort of do actually: https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/master/src/...

The internal version of protobuf lets you switch individual string fields to string_view using [ctype=STRING_PIECE], but migrating the default away from std::string is mainly just an enormous migration challenge.

Internally we also do something slightly nuts: we break the encapsulation of std::string so that we can point it to arena-allocated memory (we then "steal" the memory back before the destructor runs). We can only afford to do this internally, where the implementation of std::string is known. The real long-term solution is to move to string_view.
> The specific design decisions in Protobuf were not carefully tested or weighed against other possibilities.

And just to be clear, I don't think this is bad. On the contrary, I think Protobuf won because it did a wide variety of things "pretty well" while moving quickly and solving real problems. This is how the best technologies are usually made, not by academically trying to perfect everything, but by banging out something that works and running with it to solve real problems. If you try to carefully design everything perfectly upfront, you'll spend a huge amount of time on decisions that don't really matter.
It is true, but the capability is misused (and the web browser doesn't give enough control to the user, but that is a separate (but still related) issue).

For most documents, scripts should not be needed and neither CSS. In some cases, it can help, but ensure they still work when they are disabled.

Some things are mainly "apps" so it is not so useful without scripts, although even then, if scripts are disabled, it should display explanations of what it is, documentation (if any is available), links to source codes and downloads (if any), etc.

Sometimes it is a document which mostly doesn't need scripts but there are some features that you might want, which aren't expressible in plain HTML, such as certain kinds of semantics. For such usage, it may help to add some sort of "extensible interface identification" (perhaps with URIs or UUIDs) to HTML elements; the user can apply their own implementation if wanted, disable it entirely if that works, or enable the document scripts to use the implementation included in the web page. For example, some text could be tagged indicating that it is a measurement of distance; the web browser might be able to convert it to other units of measurement (subject to user configuration); if not implemented or if disabled by the user, it is still normal text, and is still readable. Another example is that a form could declare the format of the text inside of a <TEXTAREA> field, in case the user wants such things as syntax highlighting, previewing, WYSIWYG editing, etc; if the user disables them or if it is not implemented, then it is still just a normal <TEXTAREA> field and still works.

HTML also shouldn't be misused; ensure commands such as <H1>, <H2>, <A>, etc are used properly, and they can make things just working properly better, e.g. if the user's web browser supports an automatic table of contents window, it can be filled in automatically if the headings are correct, and many other things can also be possible due to such things.

The ideas I listed above can be used to enrich possibilities even while the user is empowered to control their own experience, and without wasting as much energy.
The idea of running it through a pair of AR sunglasses is wild! We were doing it strictly on smartphones - some of the biggest headaches came as a result of Apple's App Store process - we had to rework everything and since the back end was independent that meant we had to rework the android version as well.

> try running `python3 http.server 8080` on a safe directory on your laptop, and see if you can easily access a file from it from your mobile

Works without a problem (I just tried python -m SimpleHTTPServer). You just have to type out the http://-part explicitly. Wow that would be annoying if they dropped http completly.
This is the theory behind drop 2 voicings is it not? Being that as you alternate b/w Maj & dim voicings you copy the top note of the RH in the LH, I like to add a chromatic flourish to the LH note and it gives you a very George Shearing sound.

But wait there's more! Not only does this function harmonically, it also functions melodically. The added scale tone makes it so that a chord tone ends up on every down beat when playing in eighth notes. I've actually found that it doesn't matter where you add that extra scale note, you can do it all the way up and down the piano anywhere you like as long as you get chord tones where you want them.
No. Apple was pushing for HTML5. In fact, they were imagining iOS Safari as an app platform in the beginning.
There are some nice hiking routes also in the Pyrenees.
For example Carros de foc (https://www.carrosdefoc.com/en/). I hiked there 2 years ago in September. Weather was great, no bears, cottages to stay over night and with good dinners. I think it was perfect for beginners: there were some demanding parts, but no special equipment needed.

This has been known for a long time. I have often heard it suggested that places do this. Glad to see it actually being done.

I guarantee that if they did it around here, some knuckleheads would row out to the clam beds at night, and harvest them all.
Most everything is open source these days though, with some projects reducing support for the community tier, and pushing their proprietary tier. A more interesting question is what happens if you 'open source' everything with a free license? What would the corporate and consumer landscape be then, compared to now? Won't that be cool.
I had a similar idea for a web based version about 8 years ago. Even ran some Google Ads with a MVP landing page to gauge interest (there was).

Finally never got around to building it.

Is this a sustainable business for you now? Or just a side project?
This exactly and having a discussion as a society and the legal changes necessary will be a much harder solution that literally nobody except relatively diehard techies care about.

I care about true device ownership but there are like literally only probably what? 1000's 10's of thousands globally even a million or two globally of us isn't much compared to billions using the devices.
To njarboe's point, cars, motorcycles, airplanes, and furniture predate 1970. As do most of the deadly chemical products.
What? Android FF is superstable for me.
> This definition would generally bar you from using phone modems

Back in the days when I used phone modems (USR Courier and Sportster) I actually flashed a cool custom firmware developed by an enthusiast hacker and there seemed to be no measures deployed to stop me from doing so.

IIRC at least USR Courier had Intel 80186 which was a full-fledged x86 CPU making the modem a real computer indeed.
Much of it is assuredly going to organized crime, just as always when a lot of government money is moving around at once. The similarities between the bad loans bailed out during the Savings and Loan Crisis and the Financial Crisis have convinced me of that.
Perhaps it's just me but both seem to convey absolutely zero useful information ...
Oooh yeah. We had an intern/colleague like yourself. She could find bugs in the most twisted ways and I mean bugs where a specific sequence and inputs in separate flows would cause a crash, like Sean Connery's sequence in The Rock. She was the protector of the application, the queen of bugs, the Khaleesi of the unfixed, the breaker of tests.

You might be just like her.
Why does the computer need to learn when we can just program what the computer is supposed to do based on what we know what the desired output/result should be? Yeah, we can try to recreate calculus from first principles, or just use the equations that we already know. unless I am missing something obvious. There are PHP or C scripts for example can do image recpnition and break captchas (there is a program called Xrummer that solves captchas for spamming purposes, which is why captchas have become so complicated) ...this was in 2010 , long before machine learning became a 'thing'.
Maybe building on proprietary platforms was a bad idea from the start and a poor investment of public resources.
What is "Mr. Rodgers level of caution"?
By that logic, there is no such thing as addiction.
I feel like I'm going to end up being a veritable "hermit in a shack" because I won't tolerate the expectation of serfdom to our feudal hardware manufacturer and software developer overlords.
This is exactly the niche that Resolver One used to fill. It was basically an Excel-like spreadsheet but under the hood everything's Python.

Unfortunately it looks like they ceased the product in 2012 due to lack of sales. Perhaps they were too early.

The nice thing about OSS software is that you actually can selectively pull patches from upstream to build your own stable version.

It’s way too much effort to do to for all software you use but not too unreasonable for your most used tools. At work we maintain lots of forks of libs we use. I maintain a fork of Ansible that has niceties like blocks you can loop over. It’s somewhat controversial to patch in features but we ended up deciding that it’s more important for software to do what we want.
> willfully turns a blind eye to its role as a laundromat for hostile powers under the guise of an ideology of totally free data.

Why "a blind eye"? An open eye. Wikileaks has no loyalty to the US government, and it isn't, nor should it be, a concern of theirs whether elements hostile to the US benefit or not from its publications. Wikileaks publishes information of public interest, and that's that.

Also, note that Wikileaks has published information about regimes the US perceives as hostile, e.g. Russia:

Which is a good reason to eschew software that's delivered via third-party servers versus running on your hardware.
Geeksville is a prolific contributor to Meshtastic :-)
Definitely a market for it. Another Hawaii company, Shaka Guides has a similar concept though with voice-actor recorded tours and they seem to be doing well. Our concept was to have locals sharing their history and knowledge on a self-guiding tour.
Yes but I don't "own" a website. It's not reasonable for me to expect websites to keep working the way they always have.

For SaaS of course, that's something to be aware of. Since I don't have the hardware and software under my control, I have no say in when the supplier stops providing it. Many people have learned this the hard way with Google services, just as an example (there are many others, not picking on Goggle in particular here).
In the US, it's because this claim, or rejection of it, is strongly tied to political identity. Because the US is highly polarized right now, once political identity comes into play, you've left the realm of rationality and entered the realm of tribalism.
Unfortunately, I do not have the chops to debate against this, but the political ramifications would be immense. The bet (https://www.rootclaim.com/rootclaim_challenge) requires that (a) you have $100k (b) are able to successfully debate it.

I won't put $100k against this, but I'll put $10k against it, because "the truth" is worth it. I'll pool $10k into a $100k stake behind a debate team that can debate this (and validate that this is actually refutable). This is valid until 2021-03-01.
I've always enjoyed Lua. Does anyone have any experience with Defold? I'd like to make a little puzzle game, but I don't have dozens/hundreds of hours to learn Unity or a big fancy engine. Is Defold learnable enough for someone to make a game on the weekends over the course of a few months?
