> both countries are very lenient with regards to necessary business expenses (必須経費 over here).

This seems to be the issue. If you're really paying for the software and not the support, it isn't a neccessary business expense because you can have it for free. Same for the support. If others can get support for free — and it's easy to observe it happening — chances are you can get it for free. Someone down the line might notice it's a donation and not a necessary business expense.

And if you really need extra support, we're back to the old paradigm where open source can help you land a project but you still need to do the work and it's in addition to the work you do on the project, and it's not easy work. For example, a week-long training course, or custom code.

Although developments have slowed down due to the pandemic and now the collapse of the dutch cabinet, the Privacy by Design Foundation and SIDN, who jointly develop and run IRMA, have been in talks and developing pilots with the Ministry of the Interior of the Netherlands to become an accepted party ("toegelaten partij") under the WDO. That would mean that when the WDO comes into effect, the ministry issues basic personal data to IRMA apps, and IRMA becomes one of the ways in which citizens can authenticate to services alongside DigiD.

It's not really an economic question, it's one of politics, intimidation, and a global empire.

The "magic money tree" is backed by the full force of the
United States. Heads of state who have suggested alternatives found themselves confronted with a sweeping range of responses, starting with bribes, then coercion, sanctions, and if those fail, hiding in a hole from US forces.

There's nothing magic, nor mysterious about it. We're the only ones (right now) with the system in place to hold the rest of the world hostage. When those in charge press their luck too far, or if by accident they let an idiot run the place for 4 years, that grip on things could loosen, and eventually our position could collapse.

When that happens, we'll be forced to use money from someone else's "magic money tree". Having to export hard currency instead of magic money, would cause prices on all things imported to double or worse in a few years or less.

The only real question is how many % of the value of the dollar when spent as an export is real, and how much is the "global reserve currency" status. I suspect it used to be %20 real, and lately it's more like 50% as our leaders fumble the ball too much for the rest of the world's liking.

I am glad that they passed this law in France. People from the cities are coming to the countryside, thinking they own it and they can remove any nuisance which does not fit they idealized view of the countryside.
They are dead wrong, life in rural area is all about having good relationship with your neighbors because people help each other there. I remember when a storm hit the region, everyone got out, cleared the trees on the road and repaired each other houses.

I grew up in a village in France: the neighbor has a rooster and the house is next to a church. When I took my wife, a city dweller, to the village, she told me she couldn't sleep past 6am due to the noises from the church (bells ring at 6, then every hour) and the rooster.
I am so used to it that my brain filters any rooster or church bells sound.
The answer is you can borrow unlimited debt if you pin interest rates at 0% (though eventually you will lose control at the back end of the yield curve without heavy govt intervention). What happens to your currency in that process is debasement/hyperinflation.
What do you think would be necessary to generate rhyming text with a particular phrasing / rhythm?

I think folks need to be wary of supporting github sponsors, the way it's currently structured only perpetuates a gig style economy for open source maintainers, my guess is <1% of folks using sponsors get enough money equivalent to a salary (unfortunately GitHub doesn't share data on how well the sponsors program is doing)

Hi can you post more info on this new hypervisor publicly? Who's involved?
Did you manufacture your own cell phone? Do you operate your own power utility? I’m guessing “no”. I think it is reasonable to not do everything by oneself. I also think it is reasonable to expect that justice be applied equally between comparable incidents, without being the person meting it out. That said I do appreciate the spirit of self reliance to get things done.

But that’s not what my comment is about. It’s about the unequal treatment and unequal outrage from a variety of actors in our society, when it comes to the political left versus the political right. It’s about valuing things like responsible disclosure. It’s about leaning from history and not repeating the same mistakes when it comes to witch hunts, or censorship, or whatever else.

Years ago I totaled a mountain bike in a strange pinched-wheel-in-crack accident that bent the frame in two places but left me uninjured.

When I commented to a bike designer/engineer that it was a strange failure, he said that it was intentional, at least on hardtail mountain bikes like mine. A bent frame is ruined but doesn't lead to a catastrophic loss of control. A detached wheel or twisted fork would be next to impossible to control to a stop.

He looked at my frame and explained that that the two bends were in exactly the place they'd been designed to be, just behind the last butting. It's an impressive bit of forethought.

My guess on road bikes with steel forks, though, is that it's a matter of aerodynamic performance calling for compactness to reduce frontal area, something that would be harder to do in aluminum, and for far less weight savings than the longer tubes on the frame.

There's always titanium... The only big drawback is the cost...
> The risk of infection can't be more than that of medical personnel who have to treat Covid patients if proper standards are applied.

Of course. But the two aren’t anywhere close in terms of their necessity.
To be fair nothing is really "necessary" beyond a 8' x 6' cell, potable water, and a crate full of Huel or something but no sane person outside of those who actively seek an ascetic lifestyle would actually want to live like that.

Just because something isn't strictly necessary doesn't mean that life can't become difficult without it. The sad fact of the matter is that by cutting off Facebook you're also cutting off the primary way of staying in touch with some people along with things like events and so on. Yes there are workarounds, of course there is but the vast majority of people don't care and can't be convinced to care about the politics and social effects of Facebook's dominant position.
And probably soon enough again with the crap being pulled by FB to turn away from the WhatsApp monopoly.
I hope this time people will understand that the app isn't what matters, but the protocol is (with providers coming and going without that meaning to have to restart over and over again somewhere else and losing everything and everyone in the process).

I wish for open and federated protocols to gain recognition and adoption up to a point where we could just move on with the drama, ah!

Curious; is it better to train locally on something like a 2080ti 11G or go for colab and offload checkpoints to S3?

Asking because it seems V100 performance (or the other colab paid GPU) is worth the occasional instability if you’ve set up checkpoints.
If by "ballpoint" you mean something like a Bic pen or a Fisher Space Pen, it's an easy answer for me. In a typical day I cover several pages with text and sketches. I want a pen that works well for both.

I don't believe that ballpoints have better ink properties. Quite the reverse. I believe they make more predictable marks on low-quality paper, but that's one of only a few benefits.

Ballpoints tend to have large balls and produce a fat line. I like finer lines with more detail.

Ballpoints tend to have thick ink. It doesn't dry quickly on the page.

Ballpoint ink tends to accumulate on the edge of the ball, and leave periodic ink turds on the paper.

Ballpoints tend to require a lot of pressure to produce a line. I want to use as little pressure as possible.

Put another way, I want a pen that with little pressure produces a fine line that is easy to modulate (thick or thin, dark or light) and dries fast. I've yet to find a ball point that comes close to those properties.
> they're not remotely close to being a solution to the sort of problems parties use escrow for

But you can encode fulfilment into a smart contract for physical goods, assuming that those physical goods have some digital representation on-chain. Discrepancies between the chain and the real world continue to be resolved through the court systems in various jurisdictions, but on-chain activity is just strong evidence that any court can rely on.

> a distributed ledger only has value over and above a non-distributed one if other parties worry about the centralised database manager tampering with records

An alternative viewpoint is that a centralized database manager can be seen as a potential risk. One of the general ways we progress in society is when we reduce sources of risk, and a permissioned blockchain where you need 2/3rds of a cabal to collude is a pretty clear reduction of risk compared to a centralized DB. (I mean, how would you keep track of whether a central DB has been tampered with? You'd probably maintain your own copy, reconcile the two periodically, and flag discrepancies if and when they happen. That's exactly what a blockchain is.)

To be clear, I'm pretty skeptical about blockchains in general, but this seems like a very compelling use case.
I do remember depending on the site pinvoke.net quite a bit in the past - but yeah this was always possible with C#. It was even what made J++ (Microsoft's Java, before it became C#) unique compared to Sun's version in the 90s, as it allowed this kind of tight Windows integration also if I recall correctly.
Related to C#, "M. de Champlain, Ph.D., Chief Architect of the B#" and "B. G. Patrick, Ph.D." are listed. They wrote a C# book: C# 2.0: Practical Guide for Programmers.

Going to de Champlain's website [0], he lists himself as the creator of B#, and his Google Scholar page [1] lists articles and a book about B#. In the articles they say B# is similar to C# and list some examples.

I can't find a copy of the book, though. Brian Patrick also lists the book [2], so I'd think it must be somewhere.

>I think we’ll find some public support for building a science-based, engineering-based curriculum into the public schools.

That's what the yachtsmen thought in the 1960's when enough of them retired early enough from Wall Street to still have school-age children.

After they moved there and found out the schools were way backwards compared to places like south Alabama at the time.

That was in Broward, where people & companies have long gone to retire not much differently than Dade.

And so Nova was born.

Nothing like today's remains, the original Nova will never be duplicated, was much more unlikely for a student to be accepted for admittance to public High School than some of the most exclusive universities like MIT or Stanford.

Remember the traditional purpose of most South Florida companies is to fund a retirement lifestyle, not create wealth through value-added activities.

Magic Leap being a modern example.

As a runner/triathlete, this is pretty useless to me. As another commenter describes - we prefer real-time time series data. TrainingPeaks captures everything I could think of.

Seems like it might be useful for lifting though. At the same time, I don't know that the "common format" problem is really a problem. When I've logged lifting workouts, I just used the app for the program I was on (Starting Strength). Maybe more serious lifters feel differently...
I think the main problem with mmap'd writes is that they're blocking and synchronous.

I presume most database record writes are smaller than a page. In that case, other methods (unless you're using O_DIRECT, which ads its own difficulties) still have the kernel read a whole page of memory into the page cache before writing the selected bytes. So, unless you're using O_DIRECT for your writes, you're still triggering the exact same read-modify-write, it's just that with the file APIs you can use async I/O or use select/poll/epoll/kqueue, etc. to avoid these necessary reads from blocking your writer thread.

Alternatively, you could argue that maybe Greenwald when writing about Brazil is doing good work because he has a first person perspective about a country in the grip of an authoritarian whose views are particularly threatening to GG because of his sexual orientation.

Whereas when he writes about the US, he argues from a detached accelerationist perspective that letting it all burn down is good because it gets rid of the security state he so detests (and not, I might add, without reason). But this detachment in this case does not do his writing any favors, because it both glosses over the very real harm being done by this burning down, and takes a massively over-optimistic view of accelerationism as a strategy.
Not OP but most public cloud need stronger isolation than what Docker provides. GKE uses gVisor, AWS uses Firecracker now. When they started, lambda code was scheduled on a different EC2 instance per customer. VM isolation is just so much stronger. Firecracker hopes to make launching VMs as quick as launching containers while retaining the great isolation benefits of a VM.

One use case might be for the routines prescribed by physical therapists.

IIRC, my PT from Kaiser Permanente gave me access to a workout app, but none of the sets, reps, or durations matched with what my PT wanted me to do. It would have been nice to take the routine and import it into a better app.

It seems like it would be pretty hard to account for all the small variations though!

I'm glad we agree that classical mechanics accurately predicts macro objects.

However, atoms, molecules, and even molecular lattices containing a small number of atoms (or large number actually), behave as quantum wave systems. Even the link you gave states that 'benzene' despite having 42 electrons, has a single wave function that determines probabilities for where an electron can be observed (but not WHICH electron. There is no WHICH ELECTRON in the function). In that wave function it means there's no longer 42 actual electrons that even exist. There is nothing but a probability of where you'd find one if you collapse the entire wave simultaneously by taking a measurement of any part of it.

When atoms join into a crystal formation that becomes even a 'higher level' new emergent pattern of vibrating probabilities, that's more complex and structured than what the individual particles exhibited before the new pattern emerged.

You think I'm wrong to say atoms pop into existence?, but we know for a fact all particles are merely probabilities until observed. All observation is synonymous with wave-collapse, and only upon wave-collapse do you have actual particles with actual positions in spacetime. Every 'frame' of every video you could ever create is a snapshot of "a series of collapses", because that collapse is what created the particles that make up the 'image' itself.
Then again, all criminals say that.
