> It's a more general question: should art be subject to the market laws, or should society subsidize art production?

Thought you were going somewhere completely different based off of the first sentence. Yes artists have been exploited for decades, but they aren't being exploited by their audiences aka their market. Fans of music, video, performance, etc. are willing to pay quite fair prices (even exorbitant ones) to consume or own the media that they love. The lion's share of that money never reaches the artist that produced it. Vast empires of wealth have been built on the backs of superstar artists and the problem as always is rent seeking which is the enemy of socialists and capitalists alike. We absolutely should not subsidize art production, I can guarantee you that money would also be siphoned off under the current status quo. We're already very close to a solution to this problem with the massive drop in cost of producing any kind of art that is amenable to digital production and distribution. It just needs to continue to tip in the direction of artists being their own producers or being able to hire the people who do the actual work directly rather than going through an established company built on exploitative practices. The next piece of the puzzle is going to be a better system for paying to consume the produced art without relying on the toxic ad ecosystem. We need to starve the greedy giants of the last century out of existence, their only benefit was in connecting people to art when that used to be difficult. Connecting is easy now, paying someone for their work should be too.
They backups are probably fine (as in “the data is in there”) but there may be no plans on how to restore them. Or they may be incomplete.

I doubt any external factors are to blame.

> We need nuclear for stability (as we don't have energy storage facilities that can handle extreme weather events for days or weeks)

We also don't have the nuclear reactors that would supply that energy (particularly at global scale, where breeding would be needed). Why is building those reactors conceivable, but building energy storage systems not?
Normal people are going to switch browser instead of trying to find the said option, because Firefox is "broken".
No.... ? Not as far as I could gather. Why would CORS break because of this change? AFAIK, CORS has nothing with the referrer header.
Why should they know this? I am keen that they don't know this.

We don't really know anything about the OP. It's possible he is not rich, the house is not worth that much and that's all he has/inherited, he doesn't have money to pax the tax, and thus will need to sell the home at (probably) a discount to cover the tax bill.

He could be actually slipping from middle-class as we speak.

No. If you go back and look at that accusation, it was that he was propositioning people for sex in the halls of MIT, AND he had a mattress in his office.
If you have been that person before, it can be fun and exciting to think up solutions and implement them under pressure. Definitely a real test in your ability to concentrate. But don't expect the credit you deserve for it, and don't even expect others to even bother to put in any effort towards fixing things.

Also, make sure everyone knows you are going on vacation once you resolve things.
Your numbers are incorrect. The case numbers are meaningless because there have been so many infections that were never officially counted as cases. Antibody seroprevalence studies have shown that the true number of cases is 2 or 3 times higher.

I suspect you could be sued by your employer. Mind you I've never heard of anyone being sued in that way - can't imagine it would be worth it for the employer unless they could demonstrate a significant financial loss.
But USB was supposed to be the unifying connector.

Before: "Here in the back of the computer we have PS/2 ports (1 for keyboard and 1 for mouse), a parallel port, serial, 25-pin serial, game port".

Introducing USB: "Everything is USB now! Plug anything anywhere!"

USB version whatever: "Well the sockets look all the same, but you can only plug your display in here, to charge it you have to connect it here", etc, etc.
He could write out an exact description of what he said and what he has changed his views on, but I doubt people who has seen the media characterization of his comments would be made any happier.

He could say "I previous thought the word sexual assault meant the word assault added a qualifier that required the application of force or violence, but I now know that the word assault in this case mean a legal definition that also includes negligent to seek consent and absent of intent to cause harm.". Would that change the media perception?
Perfectly common in large parts of Europe. I also have a 3 months notice period, which is pretty much the standard here in Sweden for tech workers or other highly-qualified occupations. For very senior positions, 6 months isn't unheard of.

It goes both ways of course, my employer is also bound by the 3 month period in case they want to fire me.
> There's nothing wrong with people writing bad articles. In fact everyone writes badly to begin with.

It's ok to write badly in the beginning. It's less ok (to say the least) to publish the bad writing in the Internet and decrease it's mean quality level in result. Of course, by now the cat's way out of the bad and Internet is mostly low-effort, low-value crap. Arguably, it's been this way since the very beginning. In terms of quality and curation it's basically the digital equivalent of a wall in a public restroom. But still, I find scribbling on such walls to be in poor taste...
Maybe the practical effect of him giving up leadership on the GNU Project would be actually "better" than giving up leadership on the FSF - I even doubt there was anything better (beyond a form of realpolitik "damage" control) that happened when he left the FSF. The way he leads the GNU Project has been disputed numerous times. But the attempts of some to leverage the FSF departure to make him go away from the GNU Project were distasteful.
You can still see what site the referrer came from, just not the path + query string behind it.
While processing a payment a psp/acquirer is mostly receiving money, so no need to check if there is balance available.

Why would you subsidize art that virtually nobody cares about? You might as well subsidize every hobby in existence.

I'm pretty sure even most socialists would agree with this - even those who want to abolish money. If your art isn't valuable to society, you'll get treated like someone who digs holes and then fills them all day.

Now, art which is widely appreciated but still has trouble getting funded might be another matter (because they're e.g. directed at a demographic that doesn't have much money), but most of the people who can't live off their art definitely don't fall into this category - they simply aren't popular.

But the point is that USB was introduced more or less on the promise of not being like that. When USB 1.1 came in the late 90s, it was pretty nice. Lots of different ports and cables went away, and all were replaced by standardized USB ports and cables.

You could geek out and learn the difference of upstream (A, host) and downstream (B, device) ports, the various types of B port sizes, and that was it. Later USB 2.0 was introduced and just (bam!) made it all 40 times faster, but it still logically worked pretty much the same.

Then USB 3.x came and just blew all that to h-ll, which is frustrating for both old bearded geeks, and* new/non-technical users.

In America absolutely nothing happens. He might have some type of agreement where he gets a severance payment upon resignation, that would be forfeited. If I was him, assuming upper management starts yelling or whatever, I would just leave. Stress can kill you, and stressing over a job is absolutely never worth it because if you die today , they'll post a req for your position by the end of business.

It looks like they could probably sort something out, wouldn't be a bad idea to call up any of the old vets who retired to see if they could come down to the office and contract for a week or so.
Thanks! Piku has been my go-to for dev environments, Linux IoT and general-purpose stuff for a long while now, as it is simpler to iterate (no container build cycles, no need for a registry, relies on rock solid nginx/uwsgi, etc.).

I usually start with that and then containerize as needed, but this time it was actually the other way around -- since I didn't know what Node-RED modules I'd need and didn't see much point in going beyond a single core, I just sidestepped my custom Node-RED containers* and pushed out a Node-RED deployment (https://github.com/piku/deploy-node-red) to a underused, single-core piku instance.

(You can just steal the cloud-config from https://github.com/piku/deploy-on-azure and toss it onto any cloud provider)

(FWIW, I have a running k3s setup with the Azure equivalent of spot instances, but Node-RED can't take advantage of that setup and I mostly wanted the GUI and higher-level abstractions. You'd be surprised how much mileage you can get from something like this...)

We can thank the explosion of Internet startups and innovation to their judicious application to Microsoft in the late 90s (it tied their hands significantly).
Honestly I think they went after Stallman because he is a prominent figure and at the same time white, male and not exactly in his twenties.
Just a FYI because some people are complaining that Mozilla is doing something evil or will break all of the web or something. Chrome made the same change a while back:

https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2020/07/referrer-p...

So if this breaks something people probably already noticed. And Mozilla is merely aligning with the browser with the largest market share on this. (Also everyone who wants something different for their sites, it's configurable: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Re... )
wow, it was so much better before. What the heck? Who made the decision to switch?
If you're referencing this: https://github.com/apache/incubator-age

Then I honestly think it's pretty good. Maybe two changes would be:

- Maybe embed one or two use comparisons of some search in plain SQL, and something using age to show what you can get. This both shows the wins, as well as shows people who already know cypher the general idea of how the languages two combine.

- As an incubating project, maybe talk a bit about roadmap. At what point will it no longer be incubating? What's the threshold? What are the risks of using an incubating project?
Pet peeve of mine: "Trust but verify" is an oxymoron. If you "trust" someone/something you don't need to verify. I understand the sentiment, but it's based on a faulty assumption that trust is a binary state.

It's most exemplary case is the use done by the security teams in most IT shops: "Yes, we did put endpoint protection on your laptop, it's not that we don't trust you -- but you know what they say...". I wish they would simply say:"Of course we don't trust you, not on this. You are going to click on that shady link or download and run random executables from the interwebs. But we do trust you're good at your job".

The first time I saw volcanic activity was in Rotorua[0], in New Zealand... I think the big volcano there is dormant but because it sits on top of a huge caldera, it still has plenty of volcanic activity, including boiling mud and geysers! It's an amazing place to visit. You can feel the warmth of the rocks and near the geyser, there are water ponds nearly as hot as boiling (incredibly clear water too). Seeing the geyser explode is the highlight of the visit, of course... But just seeing the boiling mud (which you can see everytwhere in town, basically) and hearing the noise of boiling liquid under your feet is an amazing feeling.

I was young and stayed in the local backpacker which had a naturally-warm water pool!

As you approach the city, you feel a very strong smell of sulphur (a smell described usually as rotten eggs), but as you stay in the town you more or less get used to the smell and stop feeling it... it's not as bad as it sounds.

Highly recommend a visit if you're around Australia or the South Pacific.

One day I want to visit Iceland as well, it looks amazing.

$62 is half/third of the price from reputable sources, even the other sellers (and Amazon itself) on the Amazon website.

The truth is that many (perhaps most) purchasers wouldn't need or notice the difference between the fake Mitutoyo and rebadged $5 calipers and Amazon makes it very easy for sellers to sell fakes with little or no consequences.
I just realized the 'Referer' header is actually a misspelling in the http protocol.

Given the building was seized during political unrest and the records "lost," it seems like it could be historically useful today to export snapshots of property ownership data into some kind of distributed ledger so that people can recover from events like those.

AstraZenica is always going to have a shadow over it because of their initial marketing number fudging. After that trust was already broken.

I agree. My first reaction was, "I think I could fix this". Worst case this may be be proceeded by a forensic recovery of the data. This doesn't seem impossible at all unless there is some other factor at play like ransomware/physical damage.
I like C# a lot (internal classes, yield, etc.) except for their async implementation. I believe Java's Project Loom will prove to be the superior solution.
>To me this missive reads as a response to some specific questions. It would have been nice to know what those questions were.

As a lay person, it is easy to guess is buying and selling of art in the art world is filled with dirty money/money laundering. If you make a visit to art museums in New York, often if you have business card from one of investment banks, you get to go in admission free, it is because art museums are heavily funded by people from wall street. Not to say that everyone works at wall street are people without integrity, but you get the general idea.

he's probably talking about referrer checks which are used as a mitigation against csrf
Firefox still sends the origin (the domain name and subdomain) of the referring page, so you can still see the website the user is coming from.

Google has had a dereferral process in place for many years anyway, which prevents you from seeing the specific search engine results page the user is coming from. So this really doesn't change anything for those websites such as Google that already had these security features in place.
curiously it always protected user privacy through ages :D

This is why capitalism is successful. You need an honest feedback mechanism from labor. If a centralized government assigned people jobs of maintaining a shitty php monolith at a standard wage those people would effectively produce nothing, because it is a shitty job and those people would not enjoy it or work hard because it is unfair that other people get better jobs. The unintended consequence is income inequality but that inequality is the only way to get someone to be a garbage man instead of a youtube commentator or beer reviewer.
I've worked in Australia, and compared to the pay of most salaried programmers in the UK, the money on offer was much better. Hell, doing the same damn job for a big corporate over there as I had done in London (same team and everything) netted me a 60% payrise.

Comparing to London contractor money, sure it'll be less and I'm preparing for that, but compared to most salaried work. Look at the averages - Average software engineering salary in Canada $102,866. That average in the UK? £31K. Just over half the Canadian figure.

(I'd allow that the average figure in the UK does not paint an accurate picture because a lot of the higher skilled people opt out of employment to go it alone, like ourselves)

I very much agree on the standard of living aspect, having had direct experience of life in Australia. There's just more space, and more respect for public facilities etc.

It's worth noting that it's not necessarily specific to bank payments, depending on your jurisdiction it may be that general accounting laws that require every company to store payment history for at least 5 years, for example.

To add on that, for some types of transaction the regulatory requirements are much, much longer - I was working in a jurisdiction where data of housing loan repayments had to be stored, by law, for 70 years after the end of the loan; so for a 30-year mortgage you'd have to be prepared to store every repayment for 100 years; and information on salaries calculated and paid has to be stored for 75 years (IMHO to resolve retirement-related disputes where it matters where you worked decades ago), passing on to national archive if the company is dissolved.
Early in my career (>30 years) ago I nuked a companies salary database (a missing $ in a shell script moved everything to the file i)
