Much appreciated, I am far clearer on the state of play for having read the links that you supplied. Clearer, but still thinking "wut?"; maybe even more so than before.

In your second link, to FCC consumer guides re broadcasting false information, it says, "It is, however, illegal for broadcasters to intentionally distort the news, and the FCC may act on complaints if there is documented evidence of such behavior from persons with direct personal knowledge." And yes, I understand that this is for broadcasters - as in airwaves, the ether - but not for cable.

What I do not understand, though, is why programming labelled and presented as "news", regardless of medium of transmission, distribution or platform, can't just be brought under that umbrella. Look where things have got to now; or I should say that from this side of the pond it doesn't look too healthy.

As a metaphor (not a good one, I'll admit), if I go to a supermarket and buy a steak pie, and its label tells me that it is steak, then I have consumer rights guaranteeing that it is steak. If I were to go to a petrol (gas) station vending machine and buy a pie labelled steak, I would still expect it to be steak - and to have some right of redress if it were horse [1]. The outlet shouldn't affect anything. Food - and media products - presented for me to consume are available in many more places, outlets, delivery methods and via different technologies nowadays than when legislation was written.

Thanks again for your time and trouble. Apologies for the metaphor, but it comes all too easily, if queasily, to us Brits:

People seem to stream more than they'll search.

Google's daily search stats are getting harder to find, but with 3.8 billion Internet users and probably a few billion searches/day, it's likely single-digit searches per person per day, as a mean.

Algorithmic/stream discovery, as on Facebook, or HN, is at least an order of magnitude higher.

Particularly the for loop into the range of the length of the coords minus one, is difficult to wrap my head around and easy place for mistakes to sneak in.

Am I missing something or does this product page have no information about / images of the actual product? I guess the point is to generate buzz but this kind of marketing dishonesty is unwelcome.

When I see something like this, I get the impression that the people who made it are looking to squeeze every last penny out of their customers once the product is popular enough. I don't get the impression that they are a group of people that are looking to build a sustainable (but customer-friendly) business model around an idea they are passionate about.

It's unprofessional but simultaneously reeks with a sense of uber-corporate detachment. Something rubs me the wrong way about this and based on the other comments I'm clearly not alone.

Here in the UK we're suffering from the same malady and what brought this into focus for me was Brexit + the Grenfell fire.

Suddenly I saw people like those from my poor home town on TV (at one point it had the 3rd highest unemployment in the UK). And I hadn't seen anyone like that on TV for years. People with few opportunities, people ALL the UK media had been ignoring because they're not university educated and they say uncomfortable things.

When Jon Snow, a well know TV journalist over here, spoke about his experience meeting the Grenfell survivors and the accusations he had to face that they'd tried to talk to the press and been ignored, it really brought it into focus:

Right now Pakistan is able to block any service they deem as illegal by getting Google and Apple to block it. They have two gates they need to close.

If users could load any apps they want outside of the google and apple stores there would be many gates that countries like Pakistan would need to close. Not only more gates but new gates opening every day. Basically, it would be the old internet model, which is very difficult to control.

Big time stereotyping here. I got a lightly used 2016 F-150 about 2 years ago, and it's easily the best and most useful vehicle I've ever owned. I never have to worry about arranging or paying for delivery when buying/moving/hauling larger items like furniture, lumber, etc. I have moved twice with it by hooking up trailers too, and have helped out several friends as well. It's just so damn useful.

I work remote so I don't daily drive, and I certainly don't have it for any kind of status symbol, as I sold my sports car for it that was easily a higher status symbol than the truck is.

There is a reason the F-150 is the best selling vehicle in America, and the most sold truck on planet Earth. A good one.

Nope, completely different “package manager”.

Modern wallets don’t encrypt the keys — that’s too risky in terms of managing backups. Instead, they use a key derivation algorithm to produce key pairs from a master key, and the entropy to generate that master key is designed such that you can write it as a sequence of 12 words.

Honest question: Is using Tor not a risk by itself in Iran? I wonder if this doesn't pop up under surveillance mechanisms as conspirative behavior and may trigger focussed surveillance, which is hard to get out of.

But maybe so many people in Iran use Tor that it's not very outstanding to use it? I remember there were stats on that published on the Tor Project Website...

Containers cover some use cases but not all. Experimentation for one, also if you need specific compiler toolchains that you occasionally use on your sources. You don't create a Docker image each time you need a specific toolchain. MacPorts definitely shines here but it's probably not a great option for non-technical users.
As a software support tech things like that are extremely helpful.

Yes. I'm really torn about brew. On the one hand, I hate to crap on the work that the maintainers have done, and it's clearly the best thing out there for macos. On the other hand, it's a terrible dictatorial piece of software that wants to command precisely how you use your computer; those same maintainers are actively hostile to users, as evidenced by the endless stream of nasty responses to issues, arbitrary changes to disable any functionality that they believe anyone has ever misused by their standards ever, etc. I pray daily that someone will fork it.

Yes, it's wrong to demand something for nothing: that's entitlement, not business (which involves some sort of equitable exchange of goods and/or services).

Better questions: How do I file a BUG report issue, create a feature ENHancement request issue, send a pull request with a typo fix, write DOCs and send a PR, write test cases for a bug report?

How can I sponsor development of a feature?

A project may define a `.github/FUNDING.yml`, which GitHub will display on the 'Sponsor' tab of the GitHub project. A project may also or instead include funding information in their /README.md.

How do I ask IRC or a mailing list or issues how much and how long it would cost to develop a feature, if somebody had some international stablecoin and a limited term agreement?

The answer may be something like, "thanks for the detailed use case or user story, that's on our roadmap, there are major issues blocking similar features and that's where the expense would be."
You sure sound absolutely cool with criticism.
have you ever tried space engineers? distances are still very compressed, but there are whole planets and it genuinely takes a long time to get places. the physics is very wonky though...

there is also a "speed limit" which is one of my own major pet peeves in space games. there are mods to remove it, but this is very much at your own peril.
I have this vague hope that maybe the 'top comment' position is also based on number of replies, not necessarily upvotes, but then... the discussion itself is pretty sobering. The current program cost relative pennies, proved to be effective at both helping people and freeing up police workers to focus on crime/traffic-related issues. More effective use of city tax $$$$ through targeted spending of $. Seems like a win win win. Anyway, I agree with this particular branch of the discussion-tree.
> then stealing is impossible

Uh don’t forget that Big Media had altered the definition of stealing such that your statement is now wrong. Stealing (as in “don’t steal a movie”) no longer implies you’re depriving anyone of the thing you stole, and now just means you’ve made a copy of a thing someone owns.

> Or satellite bases too far away for even trains and the like, where you need long-term transports (container ships, ICBM's) to get stuff.

There's one thing that could work with this idea that I haven't seen in any game so far. You've built this complex factory and have it running like clockwork. The game should be able to observe it - to notice that the flow of inputs, intermediate products and outputs has been stable (even if cyclic, because you built a solar-powered factory or have some intermittent backpressure on the conveyors) - and then abstract away your factory, simulate its matter balance via closed-form mathematical functions closely approximating the steady-state behavior. This way, you could have many complex factories running nearly for free, while your attention is focused elsewhere.

Factorio itself, in its current form, may be a tad too complex for this idea to work (at the very least, there's extra complexity in managing finite resource deposits), but I think it's doable in principle. But for some reason, as far as I'm aware, nobody ever tried it.

(Even in Kerbal Space Program, the closed-form math only applies to stable orbits; internal state is not processed. There are mods that try to simulate e.g. life support or power flow for such craft traveling "on rails", but as far as I know, they all do that by running numerical simulations and have problems with error at high time accelerations - whereas my idea would be to approximate a continuous function of time for relevant values, and use it instead of numerical integration.)
The counterpoint to that is that Starlink is just the latest in a series of massively government-funded projects attempting to bring global comms coverage using LEO satellites (Iridum, Inmarsat, OneWeb).
Microsoft is investing a ton of money in developer productivity for non-traditional Windows developers. Apple has had a mindshare lead there but it’s not a permanent situation and a tiny fraction of their cash on hand is much cheaper than trying to win people back.

Mr. President, we must not allow... a mine shaft gap!
>Jobs was a textbook narcissist. Absolutely by the numbers.

Narcissist in a colloquial sense, perhaps. But narcissist in a medical sense (i.e., a set of defined cluster B personality disorder traits), no. Jobs was known for changing his position in the face of strong enough rational arguments, sometimes a couple days later. He wasn't wedded to his positions in the emotional way typical of cluster B narcissists.
It's really weird adjusting to a post-Ballmer Microsoft. I have plenty of existing loathing for that company from their behavior towards Netscape and Linux in the 90s and early 2000s (among other, smaller players). However, their developer-focused offerings are amazing, now that they made .NET Core open. C# is great to work with.

Meanwhile, Apple is now engaging in anticompetitive behavior that I find frustrating. (App Store stuff.) Things have turned on their head.
