ok so far.

> that it basically ensures China won't invade Taiwan

Xi will unify China, either voluntarily or by force. I'm sure there's a short-term plan for it. China has the world's largest navy. You could count how many personnel carriers they have to see how close they are to an amphibious invasion.

One of their strategies is to have sabotage and assassination teams in place in foreign countries to sow initial chaos so that any military response is delayed for several days, while they invade. Then the organ harvesting begins.

> because of the extremely strong response that would provoke from all the other countries of the world.

Did the CCP care about foreign response after squelching HK? No.

Xi doesn't care about anything, really, except staying in power. Like Mao said, if half the Chinese population dies, just less mouths to feed.

China is an outlaw nation at this point, a bully, a rabid dog. Oh my bad, "wolf warrior."

Historically, the Taiwan Strait (81+ miles) and US ships have prevented invasion. China has ships now, but their new problem is soy-boy one-child soldiers and seamen. The CCP has also been doing a Stalin-esque purge of army officers, so that doesn't help.

The cost of production will come down dramatically.

Historic traffic isn’t going to be much of an issue at all, as for AES-GCM specifically then nonce reuse will still likely be an issue well before a QSweet32 attack will be.

As for ChaCha et al, it’s still not that easy to start using it.

Not that many proven standardized implementations exist, hardware acceleration and performance issue are still there, the amount of research on these ciphers is still dwarfed by the amount of research done against AES and since these aren’t industry standards it’s harder to implement them in systems that require wide interoperability and are pretty much a no go in any industry that has its own standards.

Using extended ChaCha is cool for your side project, but try to implement it to say protect card payments in a system that needs to go through a PCI certification for example.

Ok, on the I2C driver because you are saying that:

A separate I2C driver was done because the PA Semi one is polled, not interrupt-driven.

Polling to wait on a slow bus such as I2C is brutal. And we don't know if the original PA Semi hardware even supports being interrupt-driven (in the same way?).

As such the drivers don't even have much in common here.
And that's why voting rights get special treatment in share lending. Dividends are also handled by share lending agreements.

When we talk about naked shorts, they would still have to be covered before delivery (usually two days after the trade).

And when buying a normal stock, not from a short seller, you also can only vote once you take delivery. So everything is the same.
Apple employees, if you're reading this, I would _LOVE_ a way to flag an app notification as spam. I use a few apps that I really need notifications on for (delivery apps, and the like) but that insist on spamming me. Pretty sure this is a ToS violation, but I'm entirely unsure how to do anything about this.

I'm assuming you're a Krita developer, so I'll start with saying thank you. It is harsh of me to critique a gift I received for free and you created in your spare time.

But I happen to have a personal stake in this discussion. I'll cite my post from 3 days before this about a little project I was doing:

I took screenshots [...] cleaned them up with krita.

next part of that sentence should have been '.. and tried to print them, then thought WTF??? and printed via some other program.

About every parent at our school prints a lot of little things for the kids, to color or play.
As computer nerd I get questions about good program for X, and recommend e.g. paint.net, photopea, gimp, ... For my public, not printing seems a blocker.

So if you get these requests once every 2-3 years, some part of your potential audience seems missing.

> ”It's the dropped packets and consequent stuttering that is really frustrating.”

I agree. As a casual gamer, lag/latency has never been a problem on Stadia. Visual glitching and stuttering has. But have you noticed it only happens in certain titles?

Some games seem to suffer from periodic stutters (ahem, PUBG) no matter how good your connection is. While others are always butter smooth and crystal clear. This has lead me to suspect that it’s not entirely a connection issue, but maybe an issue with the ports/hardware at Stadia’s end?
I am amazed by how good opencore seems to have become.
And I wonder how long we will still be able to make hackintosh builds.
Yeah I thought Snowflake external tables would do this but it is not the case.

External table in Snowflake only allows you to ingest data from s3 to their storage (which is also s3 behind the scenes).

Perhaps something has changed since the last time I tried, but when I tried my conclusion was that "external tables" in Snowflake are not what you think they are.

Also I have not seen examples of "select * from s3://file.json" in the links you provided.

I would like to be corrected if I'm mistaken.

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=checkr.c... - Checkr: write simple code checks with regex for vscode.

I strongly believe big libraries will come with their own easy to plugin static analysis rules as the norm (a lot already do). I also believe writing static analysis rules needs to be easier. And that devs will write their own static analysis rules more regularly in the future. I wrote checkr as a small rope bridge towards this. Clearly we need something better than simple regex, yet less daunting than abstract syntax trees. But regex gets us a lot of the way there.
Conclusions based only on clinical data (deaths) miss the point. A cost/benefit analysis (in any country) would also take into account the effect of any measures taken (including lockdown) on issues like mental health, children's education, bankruptcies, unemployment among non-state employees (especially in the travel, performing arts, hotel and trading sectors) and the psychological effects of isolation on some people, to mention only a few. Such a study would not invalidate a 'lockdown' but might suggest nuance in its application.
Sure. I'm a capitalist and free marketeer, but support social security systems and even public health care. I think the US goes too far, particularly it's health care system is appalling, but I have to admit it's thin employment protections do make it a lot more flexible and responsive to economic conditions. Just look at how rapidly it recovered from the 2008 crisis compared to Europe, it was a whole year ahead of us on the curve by the early 2010s including in terms of jobs growth. There are pros and cons both ways.
When you buy a share, no matter whether from a short seller or anyone else, all you get immediately is a promise.

The actual share gets delivered 2 days later, and it doesn't matter whether who you bought from, short-seller or otherwise.

Your voting rights are exactly the same.

You are right that replicated shares with options and other derivatives usually does not come with voting rights. That's true.

The market price for voting rights on individual shares is usually miniscule. But non-zero.
The only scenario that I think is likely for tech corporations are either legislative pressure, or a tech corporation for which user tracking is not their core competency (e.g. Apple) using it as their USP as a moat against Google and Facebook.

That said, there's a lot of user data at non-tech companies. Especially given that they're not particularly skilled at securing that data, a changing regulatory climate turns that data more and more into a liability. If, as a user, you can ensure that that data is stored at a trusted and competent party (potentially yourself), that alone would already be a major win, in my (personal) opinion.

It seems easy enough to check the wick for moisture (check if the wick closes a circuit?) instead of using a float. Or using a float, but having a 10 minute lag after detecting an empty tank. I'm curious what the objections would be outside of the objections you mention (which sound like product defects more than an objection to the feature).
It will cost a cycle or three extra, but given the great cost to make syscalls in the first place (especially if you have to do flushes and mitigations for the 'recent' security bugs on x86) it probably won't matter much. 1000 vs 1003 or 10000 vs 10003 would be hard to measure in a real world program.

Also, many things libc does (which go programs need to do themselves) is to wrap a lot of the calls to things like malloc/calloc/realloc to use internal buckets and as seldom as possible call out to the kernel to get one or ten pages of ram in one call, then hand out suballocations from them for each "obj = malloc(8);" so that you minimize the amount of syscalls made, regardless of if you do them directly or via libc.

Since syscalls always were expensive (you need to save registers, check userid permissions, flip to kernel mode, do the work asked for with or without SMP locking protections, give permissions to uid for the resource returned, perhaps check if its time to deliver signals or switch to another process and if not, flip out of kernel mode, restore registers and return to the process again) a lot of the calls done by a C program is kept in libc if possible.

For example, gettimeofday() springs to mind, where a lot of trickery is done to give all programs a readonly page with the current time mapped into your program space so the call doesn't have to go via the kernel but instead becomes a memory read, since programs tend to call this thousands of times.
If you only want to go forward it's not quite as bad - in a lot of files most frames are skippable (B frames) and you don't have to decode those unless the target frame is in that group (miniGOP).
Started a music blog that I aim to be nearly fully automated: https://pulse.input.sh/.

This change isn't live yet, but in the v2 (next month or so) it will a) fetch new Spotify releases by genre every week, b) rank them by popularity and extract top 10, and c) publish them as a blog post and add them to a playlist others can follow.

Basically the opposite of Spotify's generated (Discover Weekly / Release Radar) and other curated playlists, because it doesn't care about your listening history what so ever, you just pick a genre and know you won't miss anything.

Starting small (3 subgenres of house music), but once I nail it down, it should be rather easy to scale it up to dozens of genres with little to no time investment on my part.
In the case of a DMCA notice, the entity making the complaint must make it in good faith and under penalty of perjury.

The target of the complaint can file a counter-notice. That is the remedy that you have if there is a false complaint made against you.

There is no catch-22 here - there is a clear path to follow within the legal system for cases of abuse. Could it be patched up to be better? Sure. But catch-22? There is no rule preventing you from responding to or addressing false complaints. If anything, the catch-22 comes from the sites that benefit from DMCA that don't allow DMCA counter-notices, or even worse that pre-emptively remove user submitted content that it suspects will generate DMCA notices. In that case, your argument skews toward "posted speed limits encourage a system where law enforcement officers set up speed traps" - but would we be better off without speed limits altogether? Or maybe just with some limitations on the problems that arise from them?

The net benefit of DMCA is better than without DMCA. The non-DMCA alternative is that I can go post the text of Harry Potter to Reddit, and J.K. Rowling can sue Reddit for distribution of her (registered) copyrighted material for damages. With DMCA, J.K. Rowling can send a DMCA notice to Reddit, and Reddit can take the post down and offer me the chance to respond that the content is not in violation - but Reddit is not in peril.

I'm not a lawyer, but I took a grad level IP law class as part of my undergrad coursework. I think people like us stand to benefit quite a bit from learning how things work at that level.

Background:

Prior to coding, I worked in the technology industry for a decade in non-programming roles. I founded Shufflehub, a TechCrunch Disrupt Nominated startup. I twice worked as an investment analyst at DN Capital, a San Francisco, London and Berlin based top-tier venture capital fund. I ran + consulted on user, revenue and margin growth for companies doing upward of £1m ARR while at The Hoxton Mix and Solid State Group.

My previous experiences mean I understand what the code I'm writing is trying to achieve and allow me to feed growth-focused business logic back into any company I work with.

I am trying to manage my ADHD sympthoms naturally. I don't believe that I should take stimulants until I have my lifestyle habits in order.

I found that sleep quality is the number one metric that determines the level of ADHD sympthoms I experience. I do yin yoga before sleep every day, and have fully quit caffeine. I also make sure to not eat at least 4 hours before bed and to not look at any screens 1 hour before my bedtime. Sleep is absolutely my number 1 priority in life.

Starting my day with some heart-rate elevating exercise is the second most helpful habit. I really got into power yoga during lockdown, I highly recommend it.

Having elevated blood ketones, either through fasting or eating low carb, are the third most helpful tool. My level of focus is just incredible when my body has switched to fats as the main fuel source.

My ADHD is quite manageable this way. I feel like having to work for mental clarity is better for me than relying on amphetamines.
I am struggling to find an analogy but here goes. I think it's like the difference between a console in the cloud v/s a gaming pc in the cloud. For casual gamers, a console in the cloud with minimal configuration - switch it on and start playing - makes the most sense.
If GeForce Now is a hosted gaming PC, I assume running a Windows O/S, it likely has the same configuration overhead of PC games, which most casual gamers don't want to deal with.
