> Present-day Western society would have looked like the literal garden of Eden to the average human from 2000 BC

In some ways. Sanitation and education are undeniably better. I'm almost sure physiological (food, temperature), safety, and equality are also better, though not solved.

Some worries both my great^70 grandparents and I share:

- Losing access to food, shelter, and medical care if unable to work.

- Occasionally fearing for physical safety of self or loved ones.

- Persecution/ostracism by community for traits or actions.

- Abuse by power structures (governments, churches, etc.).

The first worry is an economic problem that could be solved this year if all governments agreed to guarantee it. (The social problems are harder.)
The problem here is not the success of AMD after splitting, but the complete retreat of Global Foundries from the SOTA process node. If this happens again with an Intel split then we have only TSMC left, off the coast of mainland China in Taiwan, in the middle of a game of thermonuclear tug of war between the West and China.

While Capitalism will likely be part of the solution, through subsidizes for Intel or some other form, it must take a back seat to preventing the scenario described above from becoming reality. We are on the brink of this happening already with so many people suggesting such a split and ignoring what happened to AMD and GF.

The geopolitical ramifications of completely centralizing the only leading process node in such a sensitive area between the world's super powers cannot be understated.

Full disclosure: I'm a shareholder in Intel, TSMC, and AMD.
I'd rather see a tracking system attached to several parts of the vehicle. This would allow law enforcement to track the vehicle, and/or the parts if the vehicle is broken down and sold.

In the United States we have "LoJack" but it's not a standard feature rather a dealer upsell.
Nope. I think this line indicates the work is simply queued, and the call is returned immediately:

So far I found getting started repo for Graviton with few pointers https://github.com/aws/aws-graviton-getting-started
TFA addresses that point explicitly where they say Google lags a couple of generations behind Apple in lockdown features, and newer defaults are pointing in the direction of further restricting sideloading.
Burnt out? A little. But not from WFH - I thoroughly prefer it. But the lockdown in general makes everything tougher. Being in one room/house all day inevitably collapses your world somewhat to just that space, I’m finding, and magnifies the smaller irritants to be much larger than they could or should be. So while I’m happy to continue to WFH forever now, it would be nice to be able to socialise in my leisure time. But it will end, and we’ll have that chance again. There’s always some light at the end of the tunnel, and I prefer not to think of it as the headlights of a train this time.
Plano isn't exactly poor?
I believe in a previous thread, someone suggested OSS except companies having this much of a revenue (since market cap is a bit of a variable metric). Why wouldn't that be a viable model?
Yeah, but no one is making a new oppressive law. Parler violated their ToS and Google, Apples, Amazon are within their rights to do this. If a court finds otherwise (and see a contractual breach) and they have to backtrack we will know the system worked as intended.
I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but... maybe elaborating in a contrary manner?

Graviton ARM is certainly vendor lock-in to Amazon. But a Graviton ARM is just a bog-standard Neoverse N1 core. Which means the core is going to show similar characteristics as the Ampere Altra (also a bog-standard Neoverse N1 core).

There's more to a chip than its core. But... from a performance-portability and ISA perspective... you'd expect performance-portability between Graviton ARM and Ampere Altra.

Now Ampere Altra is like 2x80 core, while Graviton ARM is... a bunch of different configurations. So its still not perfect compatibility. But a single-threaded program probably couldn't tell the difference between the two platforms.

I'd expect that migrating between Graviton and Ampere Altra is going to be easier than Intel Skylake -> AMD Zen.
You can use zettlr.
I'm really starting to dislike this notion of "Oh well Elastic deserves this since they build on an open source project, Lucene!"

There are two main differences here.

1. The scope of the change. My understanding is that Elasticsearch may use Lucene under the hood, but extends it in ways and for use cases that Lucene was not designed for. The same can not be said about AWS taking Elasticsearch and running it as a drop-in replacement.

2. Perhaps most importantly, Elasticsearch didn't build on top of Lucene, and then decide to call itself Lucene. If you think there is so little differentiation between the product you built and the product you built off of, that you are better off highjacking the name, then I question if you made any meaningful differences.
But imagine where we'd be if this discussion had happened 30 years ago, in the days when the monetization model was charging a distribution fee. How much of the modern Internet would have had to be excluded from free software licensing to protect that? I have no issue with tweaking OSS licenses to respond to the circumstances of the times, but tweaking them in order to ensure I can make lots of money seems anti-competitive and anti-innovative.
>> These officers aren’t empowered to forcibly enter homes, so in the event a homeowner declines to cooperate with an investigation, TV Licencing will apply for a search warrant.

> I would be quite surprised if this has actually ever happened.

Per the BBC/Capita own data available via FOI [0] (though not without them dragging their feet and making a simple process a protracted one... not to mention they tried to withdraw the documents provided [1]), in FY 2014/2015 there were 351 enforcement requests made for all of UK, the Capita/TVL Legal made 256 applications to court for a warrant, 167 of those were granted and 115 were actually executed after being granted.

If they think they have grounds they will absolutely try to get the warrant - and note that there is a disparity between what the "commercial" arm of the enforcement thinks they can push on (351) and what the court system thinks is actually suffcient (167).

That count does not include the times where Capita/TVL managed to get enough without going that fair (the 170k cases they managed to get without warranted visits, for instance).

Frankly I don't get why OSI proponents are so angry about the use of the term Open Source, when they can just unambiguously use "OSI Approved License" instead.

It's borderline gatekeeping and it irks me to no end.
> Sure, but what oppressive law is at work here?

"Code is law" -Lawrence Lessig

But if you're looking for a government law, how about any of the ones that allow people who create alternate app stores via jailbreaks to be prosecuted.
It's more complicated than that because other companies that aren't related to hosting decided to refuse service to Parler. Mastercard, Twilio, various Law Firms, and others. The truth is that running any service of scale requires dozens of other companies from other industries.
IIRC, in this case it's the kernel accessibility API that's spawning these client processes from kernel-space, due to events the kernel is observing directly, rather than events being reported to the kernel from a userspace process — which is precisely how these accessibility helper UX processes get to be privileged in a way that regular userland processes aren't.
I use Ghostwriter, it's free. I write in a directory that is continuously synced to Dropbox. And I write in pandoc flavored markdown, so a single script can spit out compiled PDF or epub.
Cool, let's legalize censorship then. Let's have one specific group of people determine what is true, whoever they may be, and set the parameters of what may be talked about. Criticizing that group should be the first to be censored.

Look, there's lots of problems with Trump, QAnon and other groups. Open, honest, fair discussions are what's going to squash them and organically strip membership. Censorship won't solve it. Never has in history. Never will. You're only enraging those fires more. This isn't becoming a slippery slope. It's going to be an avalanche. Just because you may agree right now with those who have the power, doesn't mean you should give them a blank check of power. The past decade of politician and political party worship isn't healthy in general. They're all flawed humans, no matter what lip service they may pay. Add in there's a "clear enemy" for both sides to use as an excuse to gain more power and strip away freedoms... but hey, I'm just an asshole that likes reading history books for fun. What in the hell can past authoritarian rises of power teach us?
And?

You know a better tool that does the work?
I have no issue with app stores moderating their own service. I just want 10 equally reach weighted stores instead of 2 that coordinate.
Don't those consequences follow from precisely the impossibility of a universal society?

Why have borders otherwise?

It seems very hard to disagree with, in principle, either premise: "universal" or "multipolar"; if the premise is granted its relevant impossibilities.

Would you prefer to live in a world which is necessarily maximally particular; or necessarily maximally universal?

Well, in either world, there would be no human beings. And whatever species would exist there could be designed to be maximally happy, flourishing, etc.
> That is an unacceptable risk for almost any business so GPL software doesn’t get used.

And this, right there, is how MySQL AB was purchased for a billion dollars in 2008: you dual-license your software. Release it under a copyleft license that bigco's don't want to touch (AGPL3 is tempting today!), and offer a commercial license that gives your customers the freedom to use it as they need.
Google and Apple can simply make software disappear from their app stores, this is not news. Some people have quickly forgotten the Basecamp / Hey scandal just a few months before the Parler shutdown.
Do you have a citation for that? This is a VERY common meme, but it doesn't have much grounding in actual numbers. It's been reported ad nauseum that republican voters everywhere, even in red states, are wealthier than democratic voters. In all demographics, even white voters, wealth correlates with republican lean.

And as far as the insurrection at the capitol: almost everyone arrested there has been an employed or retired middle class person, often in a white collar job. Which isn't surprising, of course: most people had to travel to be there.

"The European Union offers no grand foundation story, no venerable symbols or traditions."

Doesn't it? The origins of the EU were founded to end the endless wars between Europe's powerful nations and we haven't had a Franco-Germanic war since its inception. The wealth across the entire EU has increased with initiatives like the Schengen acquis, international relations are closer than ever and the freedoms European citizens have gotten out of it are unlike anything imaginable before. Many people inside of the EU are identifying themselves more as "European citizens" than as "German/Spanish/Polish" citizens.

It's fair to say that the EU has no traditions outside those necessary for keeping the government running, but traditions form over lifetimes and even just the origins of the EU are little more than 60 years old. Give it some time and humans will create their silly little traditions.

The EU's origin is not one of conquest, but one of peace and prosperity. If people cannot stand behind the EU because it was not formed by violence, then the problem is not with the symbols or stories themselves but with people's tendency to value righteous conquest over peace and prosperity.

Several countries, including my own, have always kept at a distance because they did not want to be dissolved into an overarching government or because they wanted to keep their cultural independence. The UK is one of the most extreme examples of those; they've tried to fight EU legislation tooth and nail against the union they've voluntarily joined. The way Britain behaved in the EU makes me feel that they should have stayed out and signed agreements like Norway and Switzerland signed instead, though I suppose the limitations of the power they could exercise to neighbouring states would not have been enticing.

Showing a pop-up isn’t a malware specific action and ransom delivery and decryption doesn’t need to be automated. Why wouldn’t an attacker be able to send the user the key and some instructions? And a lot of ransomware already just shows a Bitcoin address and a message telling the user to send money himself.

> I haven't said that. And as far as I know, Amazon hasn't either. Have I missed something from them?

I'm talking about the general sentiment here. Either Amazon have been playing by the rules and Elastic is within their rights to change those rules, so no problem anywhere, or Amazon has been harming a part of the OSS ecosystem and forced Elastic to make an unpopular change.

> Amazon used Elastic per terms of the license

Maybe I shouldn't have used "in the wrong" and said "is the problem" instead. I don't so much care about whether the rules are being followed as I care that more companies are encouraged to release their software as OSS because they can make money for it. That's a win-win situation to me.
Fulfilling the Promise of CI/CD
Green is mentioned a few times. As caseyavila points out, the article is about colours historically used when painting - aka 'subtractive colours' - in which green isn't a primary colour. As per TFA, you can mix a muddy green from blue and yellow or use a specialised green pigment, as they become available historically. In light-based systems (as in screen RGB), green is in contrast a primary colour. Notice that subtractive colour systems (print ink, pigments, etc) often employ a fourth 'key' colour to get true blacks.

On the subject of green as a colour in its own right, the human visual system excels at recognising different shades of green compared with red.
So the companies can simply buy an alternate licence. What's the problem? They end up giving back in terms of $$$ then.
> the futuristic automation of the future envisioned here is, of course, just the automation of nineteenth century technologies

This is how I feel when people prophesize about super-intelligent AI. Sure, it could happen, and it could revolutionize society, but maybe we're just extrapolating outside the limits of what is feasible. Maybe the idea will seem quaint in 100 years when IT is a boring field and futurists have much more interesting fodder to work with.
They are. I for one hate the style. Fitzgerald seems tone deaf about the number of multi syllabic words he uses in a sentence, as a result the rhythm becomes monotonous. I think people who are more visual in their reading like him.
I'm completely on the-dude's side on the reading of the original quote (not the tango quote) and I'm a native speaker. Moreover I find your (and the GP post) tone extremely condescending. There's no way to read the-dude's writing as "arguing". He states his readings of quotes simply without argument and clearly marking them as his personal reading (saying "to me" and "sounds"). By posting it here he's obviously inviting someone to explain why he's wrong - but the responses here are instead choosing to declare their authority on the matter and to belittle him.

And to the original point - he's not wrong. Of course from life experience we all know that there are exceptions to every rule, but the rule as written was that just a few stable adults suffices. Saying "it takes surprisingly few to tango" is completely different meaning from "it takes two to tango", so the comparison to that is not relevant (and the-dude does mistake that phrase, which is specifically used to call out that one is not enough). How many does it take? It takes surprisingly few. You have enough even if you only have a few.
I don't actually think one can watch too much ST ;)

I am fully aware that what I describe cannot just be done, but it does not mean it's not the right thing to strive towards. Even the countries we have now have been split up into smaller, warring tribes if you go back far enough. It's always been the resistance, the hardships that have forced us to cooperate, and it mostly still is. Climate activism is a good example, there's a common enemy, "clearly" defined rules of what is right and wrong, it gets people together, even across nationality and religion.
But while there are lots of proof that people can cooperate against a common enemy, there's no proof they can't cooperate without one, oftentimes it seems most resistance to that idea is people refusing to believe that others can do it, and then the suggested change itself becomes the common enemy, and prevents it from happening.. There may be some what to make people agree, it's just not been found yet.

You don’t, and it is a choice.

State media does have some interesting trade offs for Europe specifically though. If a country doesn’t have that large of an addressable media market you might not get a lot of local language options without the state media.

GM Jumps as Microsoft Joins $2B Self-Driving Venture
To me this sounds like you made an excellent argument for more decentralization, not less.

- Germany vs France in regards to Corona: similar sized countries, yet I venture that Germany has been doing far better than France in dealing with the pandemic. Maybe it is because the local governors have a better idea of what are the real challenges of their regions than some bureaucrat sitting in Berlin?

- Bavaria takes too much money from the federal government: maybe that would be an argument to have less federal taxes and more to the state-level. Remove power from the central entity, and there will be less of an incentive/risk of abuse?

- EU: you say probably to something that every Euro-skeptic has been saying for decades already. People outside of the Germany/France/Italy circle are getting more and more tired of losing autonomy over their lives, business and even who they get to have as neighbors to someone in Brussels, who has more to gain by listening to lobbyists than their voters.

> there is at least the chance that the central governance actually represents all of the population.

No. Not at the scales that we talking about and not at this globalized world that we have. In today's world, all that central governance does is foment polarization in order to run divide-and-conquer of the people. Maybe (if you are lucky) you get some alternance of power so that no single group gets to be in control and some equilibrium gets to be established.
Quoting from your own link:

"And, there was substantial variation across world regions, with satiation occurring later in wealthier regions for life satisfaction," Jebb said. "This could be because evaluations tend to be more influenced by the standards by which individuals compare themselves to other people."

Sure, it's 75k now. Is it guaranteed to stay at 75k? There isn't a universal constant by which you can assert "okay, this level of wealth is, and will always be, enough for everyone".

> We _might_ not have enough resources yet to provide that much for UBI.

That's... way more than the US GDP per capita...
The above are reasons a business needs estimates / rough delivery timelines. I'm not sure how my discussion of the value of estimates is relevant to the quality of them.
> leveraging your market dominance in one area to compete in another is illegal

Leveraging your monopoly to compete in another area is illegal. Leveraging a strong position isn’t and Amazon is a long ways from a monopoly.
Persistence and the will to learn and adapt are the path to success.

If you always make the same errors, you don't have a chance either.
Many users wanted a free (as in freedom) platform and Parler provided it.

Parler wasn't intolerant. Parler wasn't advocating for Twitter to be taken offline.

Based on his heart tweet, Jack sure was happy when Parler was removed from the App Store. Jack is the intolerant one.
Apparently, not enough people do to make it economically sustainable.
You shouldn't set any goals
I agree, but I think it's generally "tweaking the rules so they can stay alive" at this point, ie not about increasing an already big revenue stream.
I think that's an argument against Google and Apple being a duopoly in the smartphone market, not an argument that companies shouldn't be able to make policies about what is and isn't allowed on their app store.

So if users could more easily sideload apps or if there were more app stores, then Apple and Google wouldn't be the sole arbiters of what apps can be on people's phones.
TLS in enterprise settings is commonly intercepted by TLS/HTTPS proxies that create trusted (by the OS's local trust store) certificates for proxied peers on the fly. Banks often do this - the one I work for, for instance.
Yea, in that case I just search “bash operators” and hope to find a page that includes an example of the one I’m trying to understand.
On the one hand, it seems like to really understand the public health consequences, especially if some of the important effects are likely to be rare, one would likely need to see a large population exposed for a very long period of time (e.g. do babies who live their whole life around this tech develop some cancer when they're middle aged?) meaning the wait could be very long indeed, and probably by the end of it, engineers would have figured out something way better anyway.

But on the other hand, we do seem too prone to jump headlong into wide use of new tech without understanding all their impacts. Light pollution, climate change, microplastics inside everything including human placentas, leaded gasoline which may have driven a generation of higher crime rates, etc etc.

So in what cases _should_ we as a society wait a few decades to really vet something on a beta-testing population, if ever?

Extended lockdown is abuse imo. I don't think people have even an inkling of the social and economic damage that's been wrought - far worse than no action at all.

It's not apparent because it's borne most by lower classes; the experts and "concerned" are almost exclusively all upper class.
I would love that, and think it's a great model (basically "you don't have to pay us if/while you aren't making money from this"), but as far as I understand it, it's hard to enforce. Amazon can just make a subsidiary that makes less than that amount (or no money at all) and skirt that requirement.
