The caveat of this caveat is that if you're employed and you choose to go private and you stay private for 5 years, you won't be able to switch back to public.

Exceptions being if you're under 55 and earn less than the limit amount (something like 65k EUR roughly) or if you earn under 450 euro per month (the so-called mini job).

If you're older than 55, you're f'ed, good luck with your private insurance in old age, 'case you're not allowed to go public. They've taken this measure because people were using private insurance for long stretches and then switched to public as they were reaching retirement, straining a system they haven't contributed to
I think we might have to agree to disagree. My understanding is that the conspiracy must intend to break the law. If one party doesn’t know the other is breaking the law, it isn’t conspiracy. If McKenzie didn’t have any illegal recommendations, or knowledge of illegal actions, they are in the clear.

If they advised Perdue to do something illegal, that is a different story
Not sure what world you live in but at least on iOS Siri is highly accurate and can interact with enough of the system that it is highly useful.

In the original post's case calling contacts is a trivial exercise and one that works 99% of the time accurately. Reading and sending texts is also a rock solid feature.

Again my main issue with the article was that these assertive features were not even discussed.
If there was only a single camera "orb" that everyone was watching through, it would be awkward to place many people in the same arena and let them interact with each other. If I was looking at someone else and they were looking at me, someone else would also have to see that we were looking at each other.

Maybe this is something Carmack could do in 5 lines of complex vector math, but getting it working in real-time at scale seems difficult.
I guess I was only thinking of types, where turbofish comes up. E.g. for declaring generics, like `struct Point::<T>`.
This is an intentional leak.

Apple is trying to see what the reaction is. They've got some negative press recently for pricing things a little too high (say a $1k monitor stand or $700 wheels). They're watching to see what the reaction to the rumor is. If people say 'no one would ever pay that', then they'll dial it back a bit. If the reaction is 'eh, maybe for those specs', then full steam ahead.

Either way, they can just deny the leak as a rumor without any basis.
I’ve thought a lot about this and one theory I’d like to propose is that there’s people who see software as “on their side” and those who see it as “not on their side”.

I’ve had friends with no programming knowledge love Vimium because it helps them move even faster, whereas a programmer friend doesn’t snap windows even on big monitors. The former delights in finding neat interactions or tools and the latter could care less, it’s “one more thing to think about”. It’s funny, too, because my programmer friend has great critical thinking and logic skills like you’d expect, so this difference is totally unrelated to intelligence. I just think it’s a different relationship with technology.

In relationship to this article, there are people out there who prefer clear, beautiful slow GUIs because it helps them make fewer mistakes. I’m not one of them because I’d prefer to make two mistakes fast than do it slowly, but not everyone is like me.
Yes. You need to remember than neither language was relevant yet; I'd draw that line around Perl 5 and Python 2. Don't forget that Perl 6 spent two decades in development hell.

Not that the TIOBE index is perfect, but you can see what happened since 2001. Perl used to be a lot more popular for early dynamic websites and systems glue, but by 2011, Python had gotten a lot more popular in those roles.

Honest question: how do you know the issue is not hapening?
Ok so how does this risk compare to the risk of being involuntarily committed, which you say is a high risk. Moreover, how many of those are permanent like you are claiming. Put numbers behind your arguments.
The American part seems to be that our penny-pinching private insurance companies finally provide a benefit in protecting us from being committed forever?

Because plenty countries have private hospitals who can keep billing the govt as long as they can keep you there.
Why don't you just donate to to something else then? Wikipedia obviously has more than enough money to keep the website running.
Ok, funny story about ruffle: Years ago in 2012 some co-workers stumbled on the greatest website ever: http://www.novalight.net/NOVALIGHT.html (takes a while to load now) To prove that HTML5/CSS3 was finally ready, I started a side project to recreate it in JS: https://github.com/jtwaleson/NovaLight-Challenge . I never got far and I don't know if that means I never finish side projects or if Flash is officially superior to HTML5. Anyway, the owner of the original site found it and emailed me his appreciation and I think we both had a good laugh about the situation.

Two weeks ago he emailed me again to ask if I could maybe finish the project because flash is now dead, and the site is part of his legacy etc. Instead I slapped ruffle.js on it and everything is back up! It's quite slow to load, but apart from that everything looks great! Ruffle is an amazing project :)
I see what you did there. Very subtle and gentle correction of the GP's misunderstanding of the phrase.
You don't always need the input to compute the gradient. For example the gradient of a sum function doesn't require the original input, it just sets all of the derivative(input)'s to 1.

Given that independent local newspapers are in decline because of Craigslist, FB, ND, and other social media, what could be a good outcome?

Does ND acquire Patch/Hoodline for quality content? This would only work in metro areas they cover.

Or perhaps ND partners with local newspapers and pays them for content? This is more difficult to scale but offers a lifeline to local newspapers who’d otherwise continue to decline in the digital era.

I lament concentration of media, but one can’t deny there are economies of scale in digital media and algorithmic advertising on a national level. It has largely come to pass already in local TV news with Sinclair Broadcasting. I don’t know how these trends can be reversed.
Is 100% success your level of success? I think a nice font that assists users with low vision level is an excellent idea which I said and I thought the font was very well designed.

What happens when your vision is too poor to read even the best designed font?

At that point 100% success is an unrealistic level and so a discussion about how smart assistants work or even other assistive functionality is a fair discussion and one the author did not mention at all.

Why would this be the case? Do healthcare facilities not receive "insurance money" based on patients in the rest of the world? Because I'm pretty sure they do. Whether is abused or not is a different matter.
Indeed, but it doesn't have to. It is a complementary tech. You have web apps which have no hope to match native apps with performance and yet people are using them thanks to ease of distribution etc.
I consider the semantic whitespace to be one of the best features of Python, especially for beginners. It forces them to indent their code properly, something few other languages do.

I wish you another productive 40, in good shape and health. Ok, another 60 healthy productive years so you live till you’re 120. Would you want more than that? Im 40 and am looking to expire at 70 or 80 (if I make it of course). Is there something wrong with me to expect that? I find the thought about death in old age somewhat comforting as if there is an end to all this movement and that is the exit. Im not afraid either.
I would be careful when playing around with a viral queue mechanism. You need to be very clear (even if only for yourself) with your own incentives why you're using the strategy.

It can work well if you're filtering for high-quality signal in your own feedback loop. But it can also backfire badly if the intention is to generate hype amplification.
With the caveman example, you were making it too easy on yourself, because it is not hard to make improvements from that situation and call it a golden age. Comparing how the top billion live now versus the bottom billion is a fairer comparison, and yeah so is looking at the last 100-200 years. Creature comforts are nice and make life luxurious, but there are people in the bottom billion that are happier than people in the top billion without as much.

You are right to point out that there are people who are going to be miserable despite modern advantages; this was in fact my point. The things that actually make people happy have to do with good health, social integration, exposure to nature, love and compassion, and having a sense of mastery over one's life outcomes.

The issue is that our civilization, through the technologies it's chosen to accentuate, makes it harder than it has to be achieve all of the things that actually give happiness. And using more technology to solve problems caused by technology, rather than moderating the enthusiasm of adding and layering technology because technology is just good, exacerbates these issues further. It's a problem because it's unacknowledged irony.

For instance, industrial agriculture keeps more people calorically satiated, but has lead to an epidemic of diabetes; hyperspecialization required to maintain complex technologies, means people have smaller families later, and move far apart from one another. Nature is a victim of technology, since industrialization and urbanization require a lot of space, and produce waste which disrupts ecosystems and eventually our own bodies.

(Mastery is more difficult and subjective, but it's affected partially by feeling like you own the outcomes of your own labour, and addictions to comfort end up displacing the pursuit of mastery, and there are ways in which e.g. market volatility and income inequality (things modernity has exacerbated) can put people in a position where they don't have control of their life at all.)

Some technological solutions to these technological problems work. Before COVID we could fly to meet our families, negating geographical distance. Some just add complexity for no good reason. Fitness apps and calorie counting are there to make up for the difficulties produced by mass industrial agriculture that is not in anyone's control, because addictions are profitable.
This is anti-Tesla astroturfing, so I flagged it.

If you'd like a high-level technical overview of Tesla's FSD efforts, check out this talk by Andrej Karpathy from February 2020: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hx7BXih7zx8

There are literally thousands of videos of people filming the FSD beta doing amazing things. They are making great progress very, very quickly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ojlQi8zZxE

As you can see from videos like the one above, real-world data is needed to make FSD practical. There is a very long tail of things to get right, so blocking this progress with regulations would effectively outlaw FSD, or delay its development by a very long time. Given the number of road accidents that human drivers cause (think of just sleep deprivation and drunk driving), delaying FSD through regulation would ultimately cause a great number of uncessary deaths.

Why shouldn't people who post in the wrong place get a generic message?

Afaict, its not like they are reporting a drop everything issue. Did anyone actually think that a determined adversary would not be able to distinguish between one of their proxies and a generic TLS server, given sufficient resources?
There are HCCI engine prototypes, but they are finicky, because the mixture (mostly regarding initial temperature and pressure) has to be in a narrow flammability band, so that it ignites precisely at Top Dead Centre from adiabatic compression heat.

If it ignites earlier, the pressures are far higher than normal. If it doesn't trigger, it won't for the complete cycle, as the piston expands and the temperature drops.

Free-piston engines have an advantage there, as they don't force the compression ratio with a crankshaft.
They would decelerate the piston somewhat earlier and harder than necessary, but there are no bearings that have to handle this load.

Their issue has more to do with extracting energy from the oscillation, and keeping a stable operating point that's neither prone to stalling nor prone to runaway.

Bring flash support back to the web! Would be awesome that if that not only are they able to emulate the flash media player, but also fix the security issues too. Perhaps that's naturally what an emulator will give you?

We should probably also be thinking about how browser support may continue for JavaScript in the future too. It's a matter of time until WASM reaches mainstream adoption.
At some point, and I feel it is close, we need to subscribe to stuff and simply pay for the stuff we want and need to use. The internet always have been a place where most stuff is free and people got used to that. At some point after that the dark parts and ad parts of the web will reside; but I do not think it will completely disappear.

The bar that needs to be met for proving that you were subjected to an 'unlawful arrest' is so incredibly high, it's farcical. Ten times out of ten, you're better off moving on with your life, and forgetting it ever happened.
This is only popular and presented as altruistic because toppling the Iranian regime aligns with the foreign policy of Western states.

Now that's fine if you support the expansion of global liberal democracy (which happens to be neither liberal or democratic) but just don't be deluded into believing this is some good guy vs bad guy scenario. As we speak, U.S media is advocating for the removal of Signal because Americans may also have access to encrypted private speech!
It's a good theory but I don't agree with it, sure it may cause harm in the short term but in the long term not tipping will benefit people
Then I could counter argue with another anecdote that I visited thousands of such facilities and in all of them cases of magic healing once the insurance money dried up happened.

Merely extending the scope of an anecdote does not change the fact that it is an anecdote and does not provide greater power to convince.

Have you wondered how and why the area is so safe? Have you wondered why houses are so expensive in your neighborhood?

It’s safer because of the vigilant neighbors reporting crime and keeping community engaged. The increased safety increase house values, because people want to live in safe neighborhoods.

Ask yourself or your parents why they chose to move to the neighborhood and still live there? The safe neighborhood is likely the top reason.

I'm in the (slow) process of acquiring and fitting a sailboat for living at remote places. While I acknowledge that the cheapening of satellite internet will be nice, practical, and make my plans more realizable money-wise, I'm also a bit sad on what this implies to the taking a real distance to the information overloaded society.
You’re ignoring the material conditions of people since 2000. The steady decline of that is more likely to do with suicide rates than failures of psychiatry.
The good news is that regardless of framing, this doesn't discriminate US users either.

I live in a 3rd world country, I was indeed "privileged" because I had a good insurance via my job. My sister had the same procedure (not an emergency like me thankfully).She earned by that time 300 USD/month. Talk about being tone-deaf.
Accurate but a disingenuous concept (not you) because U.S companies are approaching nation state power, i.e Google, Amazon etc.

I'm not sure benchmarks on an unloaded beta system are extremely useful. Once they add more satellites it may go down, but more users counter that...

It's decent early indicator, but hard to say long term if it's useful.
In a rising circular economy this comes as a much needed product. Some questions or suggestions to add
1. Which countries is it operational
2. Does this mean as a developer I need to collect more information from end user ( KYC requirements)
3. Are claims going to be handled through us or the insurance?
4. Some links to docs because it is developer focussed :)
Tor is very easy to block, and relies on very similar proxies to circumvent that.
This is only a dozen users per active starlink satellite. I wonder how many customers each satellite can actually support in terms of both available bandwidth and the ability for the phased arrays on the satellite to target the customer. I can't really see how Spacex will scale their system to reach the millions of customers they need to cover the costs of launching and maintaining all those satellites.
So here's a silly question. If you can just get the official "projector" from Adobe (Flashpoint's approach?), what's Ruffle for?

That will do nothing. They will take the sub revenue and keep the current privacy monetization too. The only way to stop it is legislation.
Enzyme needs to be able to access the IR of any potentially active functions (calls that it deduced could impact the gradient) to be able to differentiate them.

If all of the code you care about is in one compilation unit, you're immediately good to go.

Multiple compilation units can be handled in a couple of ways, depending on how much energy you want to set it up (and we're working on making this easier).

The easiest way is to compile with Link-Time Optimization (LTO) and have Enzyme run during LTO, which ensures it has access to bitcode for all potentially differentiated functions.

The slightly more difficult approach is to have Enzyme ahead-of-time rather than lazily emit derivatives for any functions you may call in an active way (and incidentally this is where Enzyme's rather aggressive activity analysis is super useful). Leveraging Enzyme's support for custom derivatives in which an LLVM function declaration can have metadata that marks its derivative function, Enzyme can then be told to use the "custom" derivatives it generated while compiling other compilation units. This obviously requires more setup so I'm usually lazy and use LTO, but this can definitely be made easier as a workflow.

I'm not sure how rsync.net handles connectivity, but note that chosing to be at an Equinix location that he.net services doesn't necessarily mean using he.net, exclusively, or otherwise.

I think both Equinix locations and he.net presence are good indicators of lots of connectivity, and so both together indicates you should have access to many choices of transit (and peering). That said, I have no experience with actually obtaining connectivity at such sites; I have dreams, but no actual need ;)
That's quite surprising. I would have thought the utility decreases as population density increases.
How conservative you need to be depends on the circumstances. Hurrah! Progress...

"But I made it home without killing anyone." Is not a defence for downing 3 family sized vodkas and driving. "You'd condemn me weather i killed people or not!" Quite. Being too conservative we'd never have put the wheel on a vehicle. SFW.

Sensible conservative approaches to public health policy with tens of thousands of lives at stake is a reasonable thing to insist on. Herd immunity policies were NOT that. The additional, un-tested time between jabs was widely reported as being risky. If it wasn't actually terribly risky, then the prior risk assessment was spectacularly badly communicated.

"I made it home alive." Which this report, mercifully, confirms to my relief and joy, forms stuff all part of analysing the risk that was taken and the sense behind it.

Noting also you can take every reasonable precaution and still get a bad result without that result being sufficient to condemn the decision making. So absolutely the result is not the most important thing when there's a risky decision made. But it's really, incredibly bloody hard to ignore when 3 family-sized vodkas in, having been told not to drive you do anyway, straight into some children. Or 110,000 covid deaths. Those kind of losses are rather hard to ignore when they're the consequence of risk-taking. Even if at first blush you didn't think it was pretty reckless even though it was described frequently as such, in advance.
WSB started the squeeze back in September. https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/iu3j38/gme_... GameStop is still trading at 6x the value it was back then.

What you call “defending censorship” is perhaps better described as “defending free speech”. Forced speech is not free speech.
Even that may not be enough - the article mentions this, and points out that even the paid version of Disqus includes these trackers.

Just like paid cable television still includes ads, I fear even paying for content won't alone bring the end of ads and tracking, since providers can always make even more off both subscriptions and tracking...
