Hmm that's an interesting way to think of it. At 0.16%, assuming uniform distribution of detectable aliens and none detected in that range, that would estimate an upper bound of 625 alien species in the milky way. That does feel kind of lonely.
Another problem is the term 'harm' (just like 'freedom of speech') has also been poisoned by those on the left who would have you believe words are more dangerous than actual violence.

When actual discussions and conversations cannot take place under the guise of pretend harm, real violence happens.

I do wholeheartedly believe the attack on the capitol is just the result of a disenfranchised part of the population who've been shit on and deplatformed for the last 4 years by the establishment (including Orange Man, FWIW).

> reducing costs

yeah, or risk mitigation. Haven't decided which is truer.

> Then again, I'm now a capitalist pig, so feel free to dismiss my concerns

Yeah I own a company with ~50-60 employees (call me Mr. Pig). Business owners need to take input from these risk-mitigation roles into consideration but, ultimately, they shouldn't be decision makers. Taking risk is important.

Decision makers should be creators (eng, design) and the sellers (sales, marketing).

Businesses aren't built on reducing costs, they are built on making money. But, then again, you can use money you save by reducing costs and feed it into the creation->sales machine. It's a balance.

If they're sticking with ARM I would bet on them using an ARM Mali GPU, since they would almost certainly be licensing the microarchitecture from ARM anyway.
Haven't thought about Tucows in many years... I used to love exploring it to find new software to try out. There were so many interesting utilities and such to enhance Windows 95/98. Would love to give it one last browse. Ah well! Thanks for the good times, Tucows.

I mean 2 choices is more than 1, which is usually the case in Russia. Could the US be more democratic? Certainly. Does it have 0 democracy? I don't think so.
> throwing up more and more roadblocks and constricting their platform ever more

Do you have any specific examples? From my perspective as an app user, rather than developer, the restrictions they've put in place seem to be beneficial to me. I like sandboxed apps, absolutely love that I can tell an app to bugger off when it tries to access some folder that it has no business reading.

It doesn't. Funkwhale is not meant to be run as a service for a large number of users. People running a pod should be cleared by fair use, much like someone with a iTunes library that is accessible through the home (or company) intranet.

You need to kill -9 the denial-of-service-causing services so you can actually interact with the system in order to delete them. (I used to have to do this with organizational Windows machines before I realized I could boot off a livecd and either rm -rf them, or just install a real operating system; I assume OSX/MBP is similar.)
Sure. And yet, completely reasonable things overwhelmingly tend not to lead to extreme outcomes. Only time will tell, but the point is that this is hardly an urgent warning sign.
Exactly my thoughts. It's a neat-looking design, but besides being an iconic movie prop the car did not particularly excel at anything. If DeLorean had continued production and iterated on the design it could have been a lot better.

Scheduling meetings with friends is very common in the Netherlands as it's seen as an efficient use of everyone's time. I always met two friends on a Thursday for a meal and when I moved away we still video call each week at the same time.
Yikes. As part of my company's (F500) DS group, I'm at < $40/hour. Granted, I'm essentially doing software dev, which is a little out of my wheelhouse, and I was just a technical BSA before this, but still... To be fair, I also have a lot of latitude and was able to work remote prior to covid. Once the vaccines are rolled out and I can find someone for some of my caretaking role, looking elsewhere is a priority.
Any tips for making brand new friends in your 30s? Seems impossible.
Agree. After using gmail for many years it seemed like an unnecessary expense to pay for email.

Finally jumped to Fastmail 6 months ago and all I can say is I should have done it sooner. Weaning off the big boys and returning to being the customer, not the product, as they say. Feels good.
I also am a very happy customer. I moved as much off of Google as possible last year and even moved my mother to a fastmail domain that I manage as well. She quite likes it. The calendar works great with everything and I like that they use one use app passwords and profiles for devices. It makes device management very straightforward.
IO accelerators allow it to bitbang DVI 720@30 https://github.com/Wren6991/picodvi This means you should be be able to bitbang a ton of slower stuff with ease. 1Gbit (RGMII) ethernet, IDE PATA, SCSI, all kinds of parallel camera and display interfaces.
how exactly would you “merge” them?
Yeah if you want any sort of power features then Fastmail will win over HEY every time.
Can you explain the advantages of OpenZFS over other filesystems? I know FreeBSD uses ZFS, but I never really understood how it stacks up relative to other technologies...
Not quite. Their argument is based around running "full nodes", which is made-up term for a non-mining node that stores a full copy of the blockchain. (There's nothing wrong with having the whole chain, but the fallacy here is that "full nodes" don't protect the network, it is miners that secure the network and it is miners who decide what transactions to uptake)

It's all moot though, because introducing sidechains and the lightning network destroys the value of Bitcoin in a perverted attempt to save it from a non-existent problem.

> Keeping it spread out across millions of individual home computers, laptops, and mobile devices is the strongest, and perhaps only defense of that.

No, because Bitcoin was built to be resilient to Sybil attacks, that's why it's proof-of-work and not proof-of-stake. So it doesn't matter if a million people in Africa have the whole blockchain on their raspberry pis or laptop or whatever, because all I need is one ASIC mega-farm in Antarctica and I can double spend attack the network into oblivion.

It's hashpower that protects and secures the network, nothing else. This is one point that the fraud CSW actually got right.

I've heard other people say similar claims (about Twitter hosting equal/greater amounts of hate speech, threats, etc.). Totally plausible and I wouldn't be surprised if it were definitively true, but have there been any data driven studies to back it up?

Don't know if sentiment analysis ML algorithms are powerful enough to do something like this, but there has to be some scientific consensus on the relative hateful content that each site allows right? Or at least some pretty graphs.

You can learn quite a lot about aviation UI experience from civilian airliners' instruments. I did work a little bit with Boeing-777X ones.

It is not great, actually. PFD (primary flight displays) are cluttered and information-noisy. HUD is a much better tool for flying experience. Fortunately for civilian pilots, this is becoming more common now.

FMS (flight management system) has all the usability of IBM mainframes from 1960s and about the same performance.

The tasks that pilot have to do before the flight are rather simple: you have to input weather conditions, aircraft load and waypoints for autopilot. But with even the most modern FMS it is a tedious and frustrating process, you have non-intuitive control flow and non-qwerty keyboard. Also all text-based, non-graphical interface.

The better parts of aicraft UI are EICAS/ECAM (engine information and alerts) - they are both useful and intuitive to understand, with emphasis on graphical indication.

A lot of hard to use bits are not from any technology limitations - modern aircraft displays are rather capable, but from the decades of industry legacy and expensive certifications required for any change.
Bitcoin slow descent to zero? Or buying opportunity before the next moonshot?
Trust changes. Software owners do as well. It was also common back in the day to keep running old versions of your apps for whatever reason. It’s much harder and sometimes not possible these days.

Amazon has a right to associate (or not associate) with whomever they want. This is a fundamental principle of freedom - something Parler should know, understand, and espouse. Why are they fighting? They should be applauding.
Expanding on this, "courts have repeatedly emphasized, an injunction represents an 'extraordinary remedy' that is never awarded as a matter of right... For a preliminary injunction to issue, the moving party has the burden of demonstrating all four of the following elements: (1) that it is likely to succeed on the merits; (2) that it is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief; (3) that the balance of equities tips in its favor; and (4) that an injunction serves the public interest."

Parler failed the first test.

Good points. One of the inspirations of the st terminal from suckless was, they say, to have a program without any of this legacy code. I even think they mention this tectronix stuff explicitly somewhere. Having it as an option makes sense.

Stainless steel will rust when exposed to salt water / sea spray and sunlight. Some grades of stainless steel are resistant but I doubt they made DeLoreans with marine grade alloys.
There is no way to keep an unmaintained feature in. They will break so fast and there is no point keeping a broken feature in. Just download an FTP client.
That's why they call it "stainless" -- it doesn't rust.
I'm not sure that really stands up. Assembly languages would always win, no? Forth would also do very well.
And more importantly, what utility does that have for the network?

The whole idea in their heads is that nodes will "validate" transactions. Which doesn't make any sense because it's the person engaging in a transaction (on either end) that cares about the state of the blockchain, not some random neutral third party. Your full node can detect an invalid transaction all day but without a way to tell the guy who's about to treat that invalid transaction as valid, the utility isn't there.

No, the real threat to the Bitcoin network is and has always been that a hostile actor would get 51% hashpower (or almost 50% but not quite and roll the dice until they won a few blocks in a row) and issue double-spend attacks.
It seemed apparent right when the case was filed that Parler didn't have a leg to stand on. It was partly a play for publicity that plays well into their customer demographics, and a dying gasp of trying to seek some kind of injunctive help from the administration, no matter how impossible it seemed.

Judging by how weak their infrastructure was in the first place, getting any kind of resilient hosting in place after all the industry behemoths turned their backs on Parler was clear not a viable option. If you can't get your site to work well with all the best tools, you really have little hope in the wild west.
When I was young, my family made me put all of my christmas/birthday money into the stock market. Intel was suggested by an adult family member who did not have a tech background. That made up a majority of my portfolio. The rest of my portfolio was allocated to a stock I chose, Apple.

Reason for Apple: At my elementary school, everyone loved using the Power Mac G5's during computer lab. Every kid had/wanted an iPod or iTouch (and eventually iPhone).
I would suspect that it would give Twitter pause about hosting anything in AWS. But I doubt that is the case because there seems to have been a pretty clear-cut case of collusion between Twitter, Apple, Google and Amazon to silence Trump by any means possible.
I upgraded my car's stereo and it went from a knob for volume control to two small buttons. Hate it.

It was difficult enough to find stereo with dedicated volume buttons. The rest of the functionality is via touch. Not a fan. I've never driven a BWM, but I believe they have a knob beside the shifter that allows you to go through the menus.. that feels like a much better system.
Bundle the hours and responsibilities into a single full-time position.

I mean if you have first-year "Introduction to Algorithms" as a PT, and another PT "Introduction to NetWorking" then they can easily be taught by a single person. Create an FT where the job is to teach both.
What else should I mention? There are countless things you get all when you meet someone in person and talk for 15 minutes that would take very long paragraphs to describe and "justify".
Tesla and DeLorean have common roots. The DeLorean was largely engineered by Lotus based on technology from the Lotus Esprit. The original Tesla Roadster was based on the Lotus Elise.
I've missed notifications on my phone on long flights because I didn't feel the buzzer. I can't imagine a fighter jet is more conducive to feeling a buzzer than a commercial airline.

Honestly, I'm amazed the buttons around the edge of the screen aren't context aware buttons based off which screen a non-touchscreen display is showing.
I'm not sure, e.g. Chrome doesn't do OCSP by default, lots of embedded clients like curl won't either. Unless the protocol is terribly broken, that also seems like the kind of use case where 99% of queries just come out of cache and should never hit a database.
Does twitter get away with hosting way worse content? Parler explicitly does not moderate calls both subtle and overt to violence -- much less just blatant propaganda. Pretty sure the reason parler gained traction is that twitter does.

The $3 plan doesn't include hosting your own domain, you'll want to go with the $5 plan so you can get you@yourdomain.com up and running. (edit: grammar)
Also, it couldn't really be true/personal video chat, unless an avatar, or a video stream of a person wearing an HMD, would be acceptable.
> Yes the Australia thing is unfortunate for them but I imagine this may change over time with a new administration.

What do you mean by "new administration"? Do you mean if Australia has a change of government? (The term "administration" is used in presidential systems like the US, not parliamentary systems like Australia.)

Both major parties in Australia are big fans of surveillance so I don't think a change of government would make any significant difference to Australia's surveillance laws. The police and intelligence agencies start up a chorus of "we need this to stop terrorists and pedophiles" and both sides of politics reply "of course! of course! whatever you need!"

I don't think the legal situation for Fastmail in Australia is hugely different from that in other countries – look at national security letters in the US, bulk collection warrants issued by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, etc. Yes, the Australian government can demand information but the same is true in many other countries. The most disturbingly unique thing about Australian laws is the government could – at least in theory – order a company to circumvent encryption or insert spyware into their product's code. Given Fastmail has all the data in cleartext, and it is server-based, I don't think Fastmail has to worry about such orders from the Australian government, they aren't relevant to Fastmail's product.

But if Australian law does become a big issue for their business, they could always relocate elsewhere.
that's my point. for every one ultra power user who will have a dedicated root IOS device just to bridge all that, there will be thousands of spammers doing it for a profit.

The only solution to IM fragmentation is decent interoperable clients. But looking at the past, that is the way to kill the ecosystem too.
To elaborate on my point. Arcade flight and space simulators have probably the optimal possible UI for "aviate/navigate/communicate" activities.
Good points but I'd go a bit farther and say that the same companies they are trying to remove influence from are the same companies they [parler] are becoming or will become.

The idea that parler or gab is somehow "freer" or less censored than any other site seems untrue. They are more tolerant of a certain political identity and less tolerant of another one.

It's just replacing their boogiemen with one of their own design.
Then it's up to the RIAA to (1) come and find every single instance out there, (2) get access to the instance, (3) find copyrighted content and (4) demonstrate that is beyond fair-use.
Also from Detroit metro, and was coming here to say the same thing. I moved here from out of state and the more I talk to folks who work in the auto industry, the more I'm convinced that unions are a large obstacle to the revitalization of Detroit's auto industry.

While they bring stability and job security to workers who are invested in excellence and quality, they also bring stability and job security to workers who have no desire to be productive. This is demotivational for anyone who needs to work with these employees and has an outsized effect on the organization. To quote a friend, "I love my work, but I can't get anything real done because I need sign-off from X, but he sits around all day, doesn't really work, and no one can fire him."
> The Internet Archive screen scrapes everything and just saves the pages you see, but even that isn't free or trivial

That’s what I’m suggesting: you run a big screen scrape job, disable the search and any other forms (review entry or comments) and host that. At the end of the day, you have an unchanged archive running on your existing www server.

At least that’s how I’ve kept up old stuff that isn’t popular anymore but still pulls in enough visitors and ads to cover costs.
I think the future of controversial speech is in closed, private groups on large platforms. Those fly under the radar and can escape public pressure, which has the side effect of easing pressure on Facebook to halt the "controversial" discussions. This is why violent protests will likely continue to be primarily organized on high profile platforms like Facebook.
And a sizable internet bill I'd assume. This puppy ain't running on Gigabit.
What are these things, specifically?
We do it as well. In addition all kids activities are in the shared calendar as well. So it is also easy to keep track of play dates, and sports and school activities. I haven’t gone as far as actually including other parents in these calendar items but we do (well did) for friends. Then we also include address details and such. This has saved us discussions on the exact time and place. “I thought it was next week!” or “where will we meet for pizza again?”

Recurring items with friends have proven tricky. The things that are regular enough are engrained so do not need a calendar item. Others get skipped or cancelled so very little use there.
> They could even do a stickshift EV if they wanted to, though most car companies seem to not think it's worth the complexity/maintenance, and I get the impression that electric motors are hard on transmissions.

Electric motors have a wider power band, so there’s less need for gear shifting. They could get more efficiency with multiple gears, but it’s be a smaller benefit than in an ICE vehicle.

One of the big early problems was that the amount of instant torque that an electric vehicle puts out just shreds a gearbox. You could limit the initial torque in software, but that’d kill the joy of the EV. I’m sure someone has managed to work this by now.

On the other hand, different axles don’t have to use the same gearing ratio. That’s how dual motor Teslas work - the front wheels are geared for higher speeds, and more power is shifted towards those as you go faster. No gear-shifting required.
Hardly. You can install Apache and drop your files in it and the default settings make it look pretty much like an FTP listing.
My impression was Cybertruck is heavily influenced by the DeLorean design. It would be great to be able to get a DMC-1200 by Tesla.
