No, it means "beyond." Like you point out, "across" means something else. The Latin for "above" is supra or super.

> ultra-, prefix:

> 1. Signifying ‘lying spatially beyond or on the other side of’

> 2a. With adjectives, signifying ‘going beyond, surpassing, or transcending the limits of’ (the specified concept).

BBC also sat on their 10 million hour archive of media while the internet, social networks, Wikipedia and blogs went ahead commenting, sharing, indexing, discussing and remixing other sources of content. They cared so much for their copyrights that their media became unconnected and unused.
Slightly odd then that one of the names for the BBC used by Brexit supporters was the "Brussels Broadcasting Company" because they thought it was far too pro-EU.

Yes.

> Healthcare is free.

Not quite, but close. There's a token payment for using the services. Prescription meds are covered when they go over ~€500/year. Social services will cover for you if you can't pay.

> Housing is free. Water is free. Electricity is free. Internet is free.

No, unless you have no property (you need to sell or lose everything first) and no income, in which case the social services covers the basic necessities for you: housing, water, electricity, even internet access are considered basic necessities.

The best, by far, book on Linear Algebra that elegantly teaches it from Vector Spaces and Linear Operators point of view is

Paul Halmos "Finite-Dimensional Vector Spaces"

For instance, the way Halmos introduces the determinant of a matrix (or an operator) is the most consistent, elegant and simple way I ever encountered. OTOH, in Kenneth Kuttler's LinAlg books the determinant is pulled out of the thin air like in 1000+ other similar books.

There is a big difference between governments, the people that are in theory employed by the people, silence individuals, compared to some company not wanting individuals' speech on their platform.

If a company banned me from saying x, I can in theory go to another platform and say the same thing. Failing that, I can build my own site. There are a handful of things I can do to say x. Failing a digital platform, I can always go out on the street and say it. The police won't stop me.

If a government does the same, they have the power to prevent me from saying such a thing on all platforms, but worse, I can't even go out on the streets to say it, because I can get arrested. I could face maximum prison times, or worse, in some countries I could face the death penalty.

There is a huge difference.

I would like to see/make a small CNC build with focus on accuracy...since not everyone can afford a KERN.
Thanks, I'll look it up. The best textbook from which I studied (operators) was Elon Lima's Algebra Linear. Sadly the only physical copies are sold in Brazil.
Yes, I think it's specific to the English version. You can see examples if you use the Amazon.com "look inside" feature. For instance in volume 3, in the first pages already some of the footnotes are hardly readable.

For one of the volumes, a reviewer even posted a picture of his edition with subscripts printed so faint/partially that they were basically missing, and he had to Google the proper formulas!
This is a really good starting place but as someone in the middle of retrofitting a commercial CNC, it's missing _a lot_ as well. My highlights while reading:

- For an Aluminium frame, you could also use solid Aluminium bar or plate. Depending on your location, it might be cheaper/easier to acquire. One benefit is that plate especially can be purchased pre-milled, so you can get it very flat, which is good for things like mounting linear rails, which require high-tolerances from their mounting surfaces.

- Missing from the "Linear guides" section is the varying tolerances and rigidity specifications of the various options. Linear rails can have some crazy high ratings for stiffness (e.g. page 27 of [0]) and high degrees of parallelism and overall precision. Shafts are often unspecified. However a tradeoff here is that linear rails also require high tolerances from the surfaces they're mounting, otherwise they're out of spec and can wear out quicker. It also misses that rails can be quite expensive. I'd also add that though the rails are low-profile, if you want more clearance you can always elevate them.

- Missing from the "Linear actuation" section is how much stuff and expense goes into a proper ballscrew setup. In addition to the ballscrew and nut (which usually have to be purchased pre-assembled together), you also need a fixed support to hold the motor-end of the screw (this keeps the axial load off the motor), a floating support at the opposite end of the screw, some kind of mount to hold the stepper motor concentric with the screw and a coupler to connect the screw to the motor shaft. Ballscrews can also be expensive.

- I'd actually add a whole section for the stepper drivers. 3D printing in particular has led to some interesting options that can be applicable to smaller DIY CNCs. Trinamic stepper drivers for example are able to drive stepper motors silently, even with high current.

- I'd add accuracy to the pros of servos. They're typically limited by the resolution of the attached encoder, which can be obscenely high.

- The controller section is focused on Arduino-based or derived controllers which aren't much seen in much of the DIY CNC community. The most popular options by far are [1] Mach 3 and LinuxCNC/PathPilot. Personally, I really like EdingCNC [2] but it seems to see limited success outside the German-speaking parts of Europe.

If anything they need to be reigned in as they decimate foreign media.

How does directing traffic to a media site "decimate" it?

If such is detrimental, then Australian authorities should be happy to see it stop, no? They are not.

https://news.trust.org/item/20210114053955-8glv8

It's decimating but they don't want it to stop? What?!?

Basically, they just tipped their hand. This shows that what we really have here is a sad display of an attempted and targeted shakedown of foreign entities by Australian government. Media impact is the best justification they could derive -- or were somehow influenced to derive.

By the way, I am no fan of either Scroogle or Facecrook. But the idea that they are collecting $ billions at the expense of Australian media content (aka Rupert Murdock) is absurd. If content theft was really the issue, existing laws could/would be applied to address it.
No you are not the only one.
>I believe the premise of the title. But the main question should be: why? And the article does not really answer that, well beyond censorship.

Lobbying does hurt, societies more in centralized governments due to stronger trickle down effects. As the top of the organisation is linked to multiple parts of the system.

But, there is however another reason why centralized governments are really not as effective as we want them to be.

There is the notion that, a centralized system (top down) simply cannot process requests of a society as well as a ground up system (decentralized).

This Idea was articulated by F. A Hayek in his essay "The use of Knowledge in society" [0].

To summarize Hayek's case in point, his reason was that, as requests to process tasks make their way up to bureaucracy, information about the granularities and complexities of the needs are lost. The more bureaucracy the less effective the service delivery.

Absinthe Uses Compilation Callbacks for Schema Validation in Elixir
I've given up on Whole Foods delivery because of similar issues as yours. I ordered from While Foods four times. Each time I ordered there were issues. In all three orders I received incorrect items. These were not substitutions but just incorrect items I received. For example in 3 of the orders I received regular cola instead of the zero calorie cola I ordered. For the 3rd order I even sent a message to the shopper asking they confirm they grab the zero calorie version because of my past experience. Still received the regular cola. Each order I had to submit for a refund for at least 2 incorrect items. For the 4th order I received notification that it was delivered but it never actually was. I had to get a complete refund for that order.
I was here for the coup where 200 people died and another 2,000 were injured.

my friend, how will they melt away? It just was'nt imagined.

If we step back to 2018 - No BLM, no capitol riots -- no one would even imagine a AWS pulling the plug.

As a startup, it used to be a no-brainer to start on AWS first.

The advice given then was not get entired by AWS goodies that locks one to the platform, but one never thought much of using EC2

What i started arguing for was that there will be an interface on top of EC2, that would enable one to provision just as fast on Azure, Google or on bare metal.

In this case, one can still get on AWS, and if you have a problem, be able to transition to your own server as fast as you can.

this is obviously not in AWS or Google's interest, so needs to be a community driven open source effort, with the entrenched players constantly trying to break their APIs where possible.

Good question. Here is the text of the law (in Turkish): https://www.resmigazete.gov.tr/eskiler/2020/07/20200731-1.ht...

It says "the social network provider's band width to be reduced by ...%"

I'm not a law expert but my guess is that they will send order letters to the ISP's and the ISP's will act the way they see fit. If Erdogan is not impressed, they will give the CEO's a call to improve the bandwidth reduction. If they don't comply, they will have hard time getting the permits to install cables or win government contracts, so they will comply.

When a website is blocked in Turkey, it's up to ISP's to choose the blocking method. Some ISP's blocks are stronger than others(some simply block DNS and you are not affected if you use GoogleDNS or OpenDNS etc. others block the IP so your only recourse is to use VPN). Also, some websites are more blocked than the others(On the same ISP you can have some websites IP blocked, others DNS only).

Software is unique because it can be copy pasted. A builder that makes a house in 4 months the first time might estimate 3.5 months for a near identical house. But to deploy the same desktop app on two computers you merely reuse the installer from the first computer, and to recreate the same page in a different app you can copy the code, so no one ever estimates doing the same work twice. Every software problem has at least a little novelty, because if it isn't at least a little different, the work is already done.

It’s a lot less expensive to hire a dozen teenagers to write fake news than use GPT-3. The cost to train GPT-3 is about the same as the cost to hire 1,000 people and pay them $10/hour to write responses for a year. Not to mention the fact that inference isn’t free.
> So I think it's a necessary evil unfortunately.

I don't think its necessary at all. Why is it necessary? It's just something we have grown accustomed to in Europe, because of our big government way of doing things, where group A wants wealth transfers from group B, and if group A is a majority, they get their way.

There are a lot of things where that makes sense:

Group A, healthy and rich individuals, pay for health care for group B, sick individuals who can't afford health care. I'm on board because it would feel cruel and heartless to me to let them suffer.

Group A, rich people regardless of whether they have children, pay for the education of children from group B, poor people with children, so that all children regardless of their background get to have a good education. I'm on board because I think that everyone should have access to the opportunities that come with a good education.

Group A, everybody regardless of whether they use public roads, pay for road maintenance so that they can be used by group B, people who make a lot of use of public roads. I'm on board, because I think it would be bad for the country if it had regions that are only poorly accessible.

...in each of those cases, you can make counter-arguments. Those are just my opinions.

Group A, everybody regardless of whether they like football, pay for group B, people who do like football, so that they can watch football. Hold on a sec... What the... What did I just say? ...that makes no sense! Why would I be on board with that? Now, as a taxpayer-licensepayer I'm just paying so that other people can get the things they like. That's clearly going too far. I just don't understand how so many people in Europe are no longer even weirded out by this stuff.

You may be able to make that assumption, but I never stated anywhere that poor decisions were to blame. I'm simply making an observation about the causality of what people might consider to be poor decision making. If the universe is deterministic, placing blame on any person makes no sense, but we can analyze the conditions that led to the decision in order to alter future conditions.
