I'm not sure there is a lack of interest in the financial issue in general; but why do you say it's strongly related, or relevant context? Why would regulatory/financial issues with Ant be related to Mas apparent disappearance?

Aaurgh, the weird Anglo/scientific terminology where "a computer program" has been transformed to "a code".

So weird, ugly, misleading and strange.
I have to admit that I like this, it is a neat idea. Maybe there should be shorthand syntax, so that paragraph can be p. Otherwise it is decent. Inline obviously wouldn't work with this, and it works with markdown. In fact, when you look at it, it really isn't related to markdown much.

But good to think about how to process text better.
If I have to write "paragraph" at the start of every paragraph I'll immediately start looking for some kind of a meta markdown tool to make it easier to write.

Offshore anchors aren’t that different than what you imagine https://www.franklinoffshore.com.au/news/offshore-anchors-pu...

They are designed to lodge and get partially buried in the sea floor soil.

Some oil rigs might be anchored more permanently to submerged concrete blocks or very heavy metal anchors, you basically drop them off a ship then when the rig moves into place you have divers connect the anchor cables to the previously submerged anchors.

Some also use steering engines for station keeping but that is usually for smaller exploration and mobile rigs.

Sure, I didn't mean to come at this with a view that it's propaganda. Rather, they're trying to instill values that make you a good citizen. Looking back on my comment it does come off as rather cynical. Probably because I had a rough time in English class and I spent most of my time making summaries rather than making insights.
Until the Linux kernel leverages instructions specific to Apple M1's extended ISA, this is a waste of time. The whole point of the M1 experience is that out of the box, it's fast, silent and runs for days. Yes, Linux will run, as it would run on any ARM processor, but it will be slow, hot and run the battery down in a couple of hours.

It will take years for the open-source community to reverse-engineer the ISA and write kernel code that optimally utilizes it. There's no shortcut here. Until then, it's not worth buying a Mac just to run Linux on it.
I've had similar discussions at a previous job with their platform (it was a marketing dashboard). Management wanted developers to suppress error messages because users wouldn't know what to do with them. However, users always contact the help desk when things go wrong. User feedback became much harder for us to understand, so issues would take much longer to resolve. Instead of saying "I did ABC and I saw a message that said 'XYZ'", they would say "I did ABC and it broke"
And if it shoots back, that’s briefly interesting too.

It's just fine for negatives. If you slide the range that 'makes sense' back by 10 (add -10 to it):

-10 <= x < 0

This excludes the end of the range, it includes the start of the range. What's changed is that the start of the range is no longer at zero and also has crossed from positive to negative.
You simply need a laptop which was designed for Linux, not the one on which you can install it. I recommend this one: https://puri.sm/products/librem-14.

If anyone is interested in a notation for this kind of integer ranges, the two different styles in the above example could be represented like this:

/9..10\ : "short" interval : size 1 (hour) == half-open interval [9..10)
-|20..21|- : "long" interval : size 2 (days) == closed interval [20..21]
> Checks and balances essentially don't work in the US. The best bit is simply a decent judiciary, but that was mostly copied from the British. And even that is more poorly executed than elsewhere, due to the political nature of judicial appointees, and esp. due to the tradition of direct elections of some judges. I'd say it's arguably worse than the British model it was copied from, not because the Brits were psychic geniuses, but because of the not entirely unrelated fact that the UK model is much more open to reform; it's aged better because it's less crufty. When lead by a dangerously populist government that might be risk, of course, but so far even populists have turned out not to do too much consitutional harm - might differ in the future.

That risk has been realized. Aren't the parliamentary governments of Hungary and Poland falling into "democratic" authoritarianism?

I'm pretty sure the US system was mainly designed to prevent that kind of thing, and put up democratically-derived barriers against it. The Trump presidency would have been way worse without them. Trump has been very effective at keeping his party in line behind him (even to the anti-democratic extremes). The things you complain about are mainly tradeoffs of that design.
Sure. I actually did a fair bit of work related to mooring system analysis.

Basically, the rig would be towed on station. Each of the four columns in the corners of the rig largely consisted of chain lockers and there were two big anchor windlasses at each corner. Each anchor would be lowered down in sequence and a work boat would carry the anchor out some distance with the chain playing out and drop it. It would then be tensioned using the windlass so that the anchor digs into the sea floor. This operation was then repeated. So you basically end up with a pair of anchors coming from each corner in some sort of a spread configuration.

I'm sure there were later designs that used dynamic positioning rather than anchors but those were just on drill ships when I was working.

Vaccinate California from Patio11
Depending on use case, you can even skip the checkbox and use tabindex + :focus/:focus-within as well (I’m doing this for image zoom and footnote-popovers on a project I’m building). And you can use radio buttons for any kind of xor-like state eg tabs.

I do want to add a few notes of caution:

- Edit to add (first because it’s a usability issue for most users): if you use any of these tricks, test on mobile to be sure you have a working escape hatch. For example if you use :focus etc, you very likely want tabindex=“-1” on body to allow the user to exit focus with touch. For checkboxes/radios, you may need some kind of conditionally touchable label to deactivate.

- These kinds of tricks can be awful for screen readers, so do research the appropriate a11y solutions for your usage. And actually test with screen readers to verify you haven’t botched it.

- These kinds of tricks can also wreak havoc with various Readability modes, sometimes totally demoting content arbitrarily. This definitely requires manual testing or automated snapshot testing because most readability modes are intentionally undocumented to prevent cheating.

- A lot of folks recommend details/summary for a variety of interactive behaviors, but don’t fall into this trap. They’re basically a semantic black box for screen readers.
The Meta-Creator Ceiling
After DS9 (or maybe before it), also take a look at Babylon 5, the show that arguably inspired DS9 and certainly did a lot of things that no Trek show to date has been bold enough to try. It's a bit camp by today's standards, and the first season struggles a bit in places - but the same can be fairly said of TNG, and the depth of B5's narrative and characterization remains in many ways unequaled since its original run in the mid-90s.
Lots of good points but ‘outsource’ here can mean a variety of things.

We have SuperTokens (self-hosted or SaaS I think) and Keycloak (self-hosted only if I’m not mistaken) so most people don’t need to ‘roll their own’.

But would I outsource the essential gateway to my service? Unlikely for the moment.
I moved to a more rural area. When I was moving in, the local cable company claimed that they could provide service to that house. Once we moved in and scheduled the install, they decided they couldn't do it after all, so we had to go with a WISP. Really not a good experience.

We ended up moving after a year solely because of the internet.

At least for me, Starlink would have been a game changer.

This reminds me of The Big Promise of Recommender Systems (2011) [1]:

> However, when we look at the current recommender systems generation from the point of view of the “recommendee” (users’ side) we can see that recommender systems are more inclined toward achieving short-term sales and business goals. Instead of helping their users to cope with the problem of information overload they can actually contribute to information overload by proposing recommendations that do not meet the users’ current needs or interests. ...

> The window of opportunity is now open to innovate in a third generation of recommender systems that act directly on behalf of their users and help them cope with information overload.

I'm working on something in this space myself[2] (an essay recommender system). I think part of the solution is having recommender systems that are decoupled from publishing; e.g. a video recommender that suggests videos across multiple, unaffiliated sites, instead of the recommender that's built into YouTube.

> Where are all these “nazis” you say that word a lot.

How about this guy, self identifying neo nazi, who live streamed himself going into the capitol?

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politic...

I use "your" in the general sense. I don't know who you are.

But here's the thing, you can be a conservative and not align with the opinions of nazis. But if you look at the nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups attacking the capitol; and say "I think they're working for a good cause", I'm going to make some assumptions.

If you stop and find yourself arguing similar talking points as nazi groups... I don't know what you expect to happen. This isn't hyperbole. These are literal nazi groups. We are so far removed from what should be a societally tolerable difference of opinion. It's not "conservatism" at play here.

Gophish: An Open-Source Phishing Toolkit
And it's weird that people see it as gatekeeping, since there's plenty of other professions out there that artificially restrict supply, and no one raises a sthink about them. People do about software because we work online and are constantly giving opinions no one asked for.

It's less about gatekeeping, and more about sustaining a healthy industry that is quickly headed for a disastrous race to the bottom. Google and friends are spending billions under the magnanimous "bringing coding to everyone" when they really just want to lower developer salaries. Not everyone needs to learn how to code, just like not everyone needs to be a doctor, or learn how to be a carpenter. I constantly wonder when will be the right time to "get out" before salaries start their inevitable side downwards. Could be a couple decades though.
In an ideal sense that’s true, but to use your analogy to make the opposite argument: consider someone that has no knowledge of what kinds of moves where made previously in this chess game and other historic chess games, even though theoretically they can figure out a good move given enough time to read the board but that is prohibitively infeasible. On the other hand it is people who have studied games of chess played in the past that end up building an intuition for what a good move is and are much more likely to come close to making a good move in a reasonable amount of time.
I'm mostly thinking of the flu. I actually don't know if there are any other viruses that take 1000s of lives in the average year. I also don't know why covid is classified as a pandemic and the flu is just normal. What is the criteria? A specific percentage of deaths? Some specific combination of R factor and rate of deaths? Mainly, I think it is clear that if you say 1% deaths justifies massive action but .01% does not, the deaths are still all human lives and so it is literally a claim that decides how much one life is worth. It is an economic calculus on human life, and so in my mind absolutely deserves an objective justification for deciding.

One example analogy would be increased airline safety regulation. More regulation increases ticket prices. Supply and demand means a high price will ultimately cause a family to decide to make a road trip over flying for economic reasons. The chance of dying in a multi hour car drive is far higher than in one hour on a commercial aircraft. You can at least use numbers in this case to say if new regulation is justified based on the expected lives saved.
Intel will never become fabless. They made the wrong bet on the type of technology to reduce transistor size and they overestimated what their engineers would be capable of creating and doing, but that won't last forever.

There's a lot of working going on with 10nm and 7nm to fix the production problems (because a lot of work is still required). It won't happen overnight, in fact, I predicted about a year or two ago that it would be around 2023, +/- 6 months, that Intel would have its node production problems mostly ironed out.

Sadly by then, TSMC should be at 3nm, and while Intel's 10nm is easily a match for TSMC's 7nm, it won't be enough to be competitive against TSMC 5nm and 3nm. I hope that Intel has their shit together for the 7nm node, or can at least break even on it. If they can break even (cost of wafer is equal to or less than what they can sell the chips for) on 7nm, they'll be able to hang in there until they get the 5nm / 3nm nodes up and running.

If Intel drops the ball though... and they aren't able to get 10nm yields over 90% by 2023 and if they can't get 7nm yields at a reasonable point... well that's a whole different ball game for Intel. It might not be out of the question for Intel to approach the US government about either subsidies, tax breaks, custom manufacturing for military applications, etc., in order to 1) keep Intel viable until the engineering challenges are resolved and 2) prevent the offshoring of all semiconductor fabs.

Put simply, Intel staying competitive is a matter of national security for the United States.

“Should array indices start at 0 or 1? My compromise of 0.5 was rejected without, I thought, proper consideration.”

— Stan Kelly-Bootle
That's not what section 230 says today, but there's a very interesting debate to be had about what its inevitable replacement should say tomorrow. Ranking posts according to some unexplainable algorithm which includes things like keyword extraction, often "selfishly" to favor engagement, has proven to be far from benign. I think it's quite reasonable to say that as a platform exerts more of this control it should also assume more responsibility. If you're not prepared to take on that responsibility, stick to strict chronological order and/or user defined priorities.

I don't particularly like it when Facebook (for example) buries content from my actual friends and family beneath posts that it thinks might be more engaging. They're usually wrong, BTW; the moment I recognize it as an algorithmic promotion I scroll right past as quick as I can. They certainly shouldn't be showing me stuff from pages and groups I never expressed an interest in. If I want to find new sources I'll ask. If they do those things, they are acting as editors and publishers, and should be treated as such. There are still problems to be solved around groups people have already joined and ads and privacy, but if they'd at least stop pulling every user toward more extreme content - effectively recruiting for the worst of the worst - that would be positive.
By the way, is there an extension (I'm interested in both Firefox and Chrome) which would force all the new (background) tabs to be created in the suspended state (like if you had opened them in background and then restarted the browser) and only start loading after you actually open them?

I agree.

Without saying too much - stay tuned for further announcements.
Those posts are a mere re-statement of the conclusion, not the reasoning that led to it.

1. The OSI definition applies to the license itself, not the company's motivations for its use, so that point is irrelevant.

2. I do not see how point 9 amounts to a restriction, for four reasons:

a. The "other software" is packaged together as a service by the company offering the service, not by the SSPL. The SSPL, in other words, recognizes what already exists. It does not create a new thing.

b. The example given by OSI relates to other unrelated programs simply sharing the same media. The SSPL targets programs that are bound together to provide a service. GPLs already recognize linking, for instance, so how does this not apply as a different kind of linking? It's merely happening at the next layer up.

c. Open source is not a restriction - it is the opposite of a restriction. The entire point of free software licenses is to, as the preamble of the GPLs say, "guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users".
It beggars belief that integration of a program into a packaged product, modified for and made available over the network, should override that protection. If the SSPL is not "open source" for this reason, then neither is the AGPL.

d. Legal ambiguity is not a reflection on the open-source-ness of the license. All FOSS licenses are "ambiguous" until tested in court multiple times.
Ah yeah, I meant the comment about “literally every single company in Silicon Valley,” but now I see that was entirely ambiguous. I thought you meant like Facebook, google (minus GCP), Uber, Airbnb, etc profiting off of linux (and pandas and gcc and pytorch and Cpython and ...).
> Loeb, though, explicitly rejects the Sagan standard—“It is not obvious to me why extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence,” he observes—and flips its logic on its head: “Extraordinary conservatism keeps us extraordinarily ignorant.” So long as there’s a chance that 1I/2017 U1 is an alien probe, we’d be fools not to pursue the idea. “If we acknowledge that ‘Oumuamua is plausibly of extraterrestrial-technology origin,” he writes, “whole new vistas of exploration for evidence and discovery open before us.”

Uh... this isn't at all clear to me. I don't think very many people are saying it is impossible that Oumuamua was an alien construct and actively discouraging science based on the idea it could be, its just that it is a pretty big fallacy to say "we don't understand it, therefore it was aliens". Recall that the scientific community has gotten its hopes up about aliens several times in the past with scientist proffering alien explanations for "canals" on mars, pulsars, GRBs, and FRBs to name a few.

If we assume that Oumuamua is an alien construct, what "new vistas of exploration for evidence and discovery" open up that we are not already pursuing?
> If [criteria], then mass pardoning is an act of justice and not someone becoming the arbiter of law.

I dont understand your comment. Are you thinking that acts of justice, by definition, cannot also be the product of a person becoming an arbiter of law? That you perceive a decision as just doesn't change whether a person might or might not be acting as an arbiter of law.

I once had the surprising experience of having to help a postdoc with a PhD in mechanical engineering wrap his head around a block of Python code he was reading that looked like:

x = f0()
x = f1(x)

He was just mentally blocked on how all of these things could be true at the same time, and/or on how a variable could be used in setting its own value, since assigning a new value to x would change the value that had been passed to f1! His intuition was that this meant some kind of recursion-to-stability was at play.

All he needed was to be informed that this could be equivalently represented as

x = f0()
y = f1(x)

or

x = f1(f0())
Money is money. Samsung also makes a bunch of stuff for Apple, and they don't seem to think twice about it.

Ouch, that is actually worse than I thought. So not only can you abbreviate parameters, but when the abbreviation is ambiguous Powershell just arbitrarily picks one instead of giving an error?
