I assumed it was some sort of algorithmic choice to allow hyphenation that leaves only two characters on one line. I would set the threshold for this to be greater than 2, assuming no other 'intelligence' is used. For example, it could be OK in some circumstances, in the case of the word "irredeemable". But even there, I think it would be jarring to see "ir" at the end of a line, and I would rather just have the whole word on the next line.

But then I'm a crazy fellow who thinks that this [1] is a good idea for enhancing readability.

CSS can do layout with grids and flexboxes just fine

I never bothered to learn CSS is why. Bootstrap looks good and consistent with what users expect and requires almost zero effort to use.
Not that I can tell

The cols (ive only loaded the US version) seem to be cell_phone | fb_id | first_name | last_name | gender | lives | from | releationship_status? | works_at | ?some year month maybe date sms was given | email | bday?
Honestly, Groklaw was one of the most awesome outcomes for good to come out of the whole SCO fiasco, and it was almost entirely down to PJ. Good on her for focusing on principles rather than personalities. She seems to have maintained her personal privacy, which is entirely fitting. For me, Groklaw was one of the last bastions of the "old" internet. The site is still there for anyone who wants a fantastic understanding of the legal issues and discussions around FOSS licensed software. She made a difference. Thanks PJ!

I bought a Model Y without FSD back in August and I really, really like (love?) the car. Almost everything about it is forward looking/thinking and the only thing I would really change is the front hood latch.

I've been thinking about FSD for a while but I'm less and less likely to pony up $10k for it. I would like to get several other features that are bundled with it though. Things like Autopark, Auto Lane Change, (Smart) Summon, and Traffic & Stop Sign Control[0] would be super valuable to me and if they were available separately I would definitely be more inclined to purchase them. Maybe that's why they are not un-bundled though; no one would purchase FSD otherwise.

A good idea, but again, there are plenty of cases where that fails (depending on what you mean by "aggregate").

- "How much money is currently owed in taxes to the government?"

- "Can't tell you that, we're not allowed to aggregate data".
Waymo: Impressive Pedestrian Recognition
Till it tries to kill you like going from a stop and go lane into the car pool lane moving at 60mph. Or it thinks concrete barrier is a lane. FSD is a joke on a Tesla. Smart summon has ran my car up on curbs and NoA has tried to kill me.

Here's one example of NoA trying to run me into a wall.

OSM data is great, but not for things that require 100% reliability and being sure that data is correct and not damaged in some way.
Oh these are great, and I hadn't known of markdeep. Thank you!

FWIW, my toolchain is currently markdown files in folders. I pre-pend 000-format numbers to file/dir names so they're assorted by ls or tree. Rendering is a bash script that runs pp first, since files include others using !include(), producing a single .md in /tmp. The mighty pandoc of course, to produce a Word doc, which is then the basis for all further rendering. HTML and plaintext are generated from that with pandoc. I was using pandoc to produce PDFs, but switched to calling libreoffice headless to generate PDF from the Word doc, since this seems to match formatting most closely.

Sounds fussy, but it's a few lines of bash, fairly reliable and reasonably rapid.

One outstanding issue is tables. The Word doc always requires reformatting tables for column width, flow, etc. I can't seem to get pandoc to carry the styles effectively from a custom reference.docx file. I'm looking at ways to render tables separately, format by hand, then include them into the main doc later.
oh no!

anyway…
PDFs are great and I now publish my website exclusively in PDF/A, not HTML. I have many reasons, but top of the list is that PDFs put the user in control, whereas HTML is now firmly the agent of the publisher.
But does that cover the combo? I guess you could take two pills.
I do find it funny, that you ask for citation, then to base your disagreement on your personal perspective. Do you have any supporting information aside from your personal viewpoint?

Well, what's the alternative? Get covid19 and risk death or life long ill effects? The virus mutates anyway in healty individuals that develop mild cases. There's enough of a scadal with the AZ vaccine in the EU, people don't want to get vaccinated with it because of blood clots with in DIC 0.35/1M and CVST in 0.9/1M individuals[1] and fever for a day, the company has rebdand it as Vaxzevria in an attempt to reduce the fallout. The vaccination rollout is not going well in the EU, it was even criticised by the WHO as being too slow. Yet this vaccine works and can probably stop the pandemic and save lives along with the others. I took my chanches and got vaccinated with it a week and a half ago, instead of waiting for something better and risk getting covid in the meantime. I might have taken Sputnik V as well if nothing else was available. AZ at least seems to work, was proven at least on 1/4 of the UK population. Their cases seem to go down. I guess we'll see.

Good point, I should have been more careful about the terminology. My point was that it's possible to have UPnP configure a port to be translated for a particular host on the LAN but still have a firewall on the router blocking access to that port.

Another reply to my comment suggests that at least some consumer routers open a firewall port up as well, meaning that UPnP is still a potential security hole on those routers. (This might actually be required by the IGD protocol spec for all I know, that would be unfortunate...)
When 6-year-olds use Samsung as a synonym for Android, you know that Samsung's marketing is crushing it. Which is a shame considering how poor their overall software quality is.

It is also about dark patterns. I never had the cloud option enabled. One night after a long day I upgraded the controller software. I noticed a message like “do you want to login?” and wasn’t awake enough to realise that it asked for my ui.com account and that after that cloud management was enabled and my phone switched to authenticate from a direct connection with the local credentials to using the ui.com credentials.
Typically don't just contain phone number or email, but also some other pieces of personal information. For example in this case it included at least the Facebook user id. This can give other tidbits of info like when you established you account, about your education, about your age etc.

Determined person can use the various leaks and other data sources to collect more detailed profile of you (and millions of others). This will eventually allow them to setup more targeted and personalized spam or phishing campaigns.

Sources? Because I see no substantial difference and I deliberately bought phone with stock Android as it has just Google garbage, rather than both Google garbage and phone manufacturer garbage.
> Is the difference between an OS with one init system and another noticable?

Systemd has lots of good ideas, and is now mature enough in most places. Unfortunately, the authors of systemd have the tendency to replace virtually everything in Linux with their own version, designed for their own purpose, without listening to how other people use those things.

And you can't really disentangle parts of systemd just using a distro.

So system administrators not using Linux for a desktop got tired of constantly fighting the breaking things, and just threw it out completely.

If systemd only was an init system, and had stayed out of the rest (syslog, DNS, network management, directory layout, you name it), and would just have done the init system job really well, it wouldn't really be controversial. But with the "you need to do it my way, I don't give a shit for your use case is, and I don't give a shit if I break your system" attitude shoving it down the throat of everyone, they didn't really make friends with many people who run more complicated systems.

Boltzmann brains aeons upon aeons after the death of the last star, or Boltzmann brains before the Big Bang as result of quantum fluctuations?
I think what you are trying to say is that future will look bleak for drivers. It does not mean humans in general though. Drivers will be replaced by more cost efficient and often more reliable robots. But the upside is lower prices, more free time, less stress, less accidents. So it would be a net gain for most of the humans.
Reading some of the comments here about entering your phone number on this site, I don’t believe there’s as much as risk as people seem to think. If the site were asking you to enter your username and password to check if it’s on a pwned list, well, yes, that would be a dumb thing to do.

But a telephone number is telling the website operator at most that the phone might be associated with you, but all he learns about you is your IP address and possibly your browser fingerprint. He doesn’t get your name, Facebook ID, email address, interests, password, or anything else.

Now you might say that he can see your Facebook ID or email address in the list of leaked data, and possibly through the Facebook password reset user interface as well. But he could have done that anyway without you ever having supplied the phone number. He has the entire leaked list and it seems that pretty much anyone can get the leaked list with modest effort.

Furthermore phone numbers by themselves carry very little information because they are not sparse. If I give you a correctly formatted 10 digit number like nnn-nnn-nnnn, there’s a quite good chance that it’s a working North American telephone number. By correctly formatted, I mean that it has a valid area code, that the prefix doesn’t begin with a 1 or 0, that the prefix is not 555 (that’s for movies you know), etc. If you follow those rules, I once worked out that you’d have a 20% chance that you’d get a working phone number.

The point is that keeping your random 10 digit phone number off the Internet offers you no additional security or privacy. Phone spammers can test call every possible North American telephone number just as hackers can scan every IP4 network address in the world (only 2^32 of those).

Associating the phone number with your name is bad, I agree. That allows targeted attacks (and targeted spam calls). But you are not giving your name to this website operator. You’re giving him 10 digits — he could have pulled 10 digits out of thin air and it would likely have been someone’s phone number anyway.
I use three unifi AP-Pros for my 3500 sq ft home plus front and back yard.

> obvious feature advantages on the Android side

I remember Samsung flagships from 2013-2014. That thing had eye tracking, ie it scrolled the page for you as you read it. That’s just one example, the phone was packed with those. How many of those features are useful in daily life though? It’s as if Samsung is trying to pack as many features as they can to compensate for something.
well most murder is of people you know, and people have been spending a lot of time with people they know.
Or pharma could not make profit/pay dividends? That seems like a much bigger 'cost' than FDA paperwork (though trials are expensive)
From following other companies in the LG group it seems that the company is very slow to innovate compared to it's biggest rival Samsung. Comparing stock prices is almost surreal as Samsung grows in 10x multiplier over the last 10 years.
LG will also be pushed out of the home electronics business as more manufacturers from Asia increase their output and capabilities. I think they will eventually become like Philips with focus only on B2B specific product lines like displays, batteries and EV components.
I agree. I really have no need for FSD, my Model Y is a fantastic car on it's own. In fact, I'm 100% positive I will never purchase a ICE automobile ever again. If FSD becomes a subscription service in the future, I might try it out, but I doubt I'll ever fully depend on it.

On the other hand, I've seen what old age does to a person and their ability to perform complex maneuvers. As I mature, I might be more willing to have the car help me from time to time. Things like keeping in the lane while turning, or parking properly, or even just pulling into a garage, will be more and more difficult and it would be nice to have some help.
The Sony designs seem pretty interesting and divergent from the rest of the market. I don't know why they're not getting more attention, but I assume it has to do with carrier deals.
I'm not so familiar with steel – in the Bethlehem Steel analogy, is the newcomer you're talking about Nucor?
They have delivered on the promise where the promise is in the fine print: the car is delivered with the hardware Tesla currently believes is required for Full Self Driving.

Until the software is up to the task, people who buy the FSD option get a bunch of convenience ADAS features like auto park, lane changes while on autopilot, taking exits or entry ramps while on auto pilot, navigating interchanges on autopilot, and stopping for traffic control.

The software currently delivers everything that the brochure says it can do, and Tesla is viably working towards the future product which can do the bits they want it to do, namely drive the car without supervision in most scenarios.
2020 M3 SR+. Comes with "autopilot" which is fine and all but not FSD. I might buy whatever FSD turns out to be but I'm not paying for a promise...
It’s not like a battery is soldered there, you can still replace it and it’ll cost you much less than getting a new phone. AFAIK I can still get a new battery on my iPhone 7 which is 4.5 years old.
Yes then they could also show the actual data leaked. I'm supposedly in 11 breaches that include things like my date of birth and physical address. Maybe. But I don't really know.

Did I give a fake DOB. Is it a previous address? Do they actually even have an address or is it just NULL for me? HIBP won't tell me.
If you're gonna have to build infrastructure for it, trains would be better
It never had support for mhtml, only through an extension that's no longer supported.
If your thing is considerably worse than any (handwritten) HTML page, maybe you are doing it wrong? Well written HTML even without CSS is fast and accessible and this should be your baseline.

Modern CSS is extremely powerful and you can get good looking websites with just handwritten CSS. If you change your site once a week instead of uaing a CMS maybe consider using a static site generator like Lektor (fast, no need to worry about people hacking your wordpress instances).

If you really need server side code/interaction reduce dependecies and still let HTML do the heavy lifting.

I did some experiments with WASM and Rust and it is really neat, but IMO it doesn't beat the simplicity of a basic HTML page yet.
It's not bewildering if it's literally always been true.

A few points:

Samsung is not cool. Or rather, maybe a little bit among some very middle/lower class people.

Selling mobiles is done primarily through carriers - this is not about Samsung direct advertising mostly, by and large, it's through the deals made with carriers.

Google has never taken their phone and it's manufacturing/distribution as seriously as Samsung.

Carriers may have also specifically not wanted Google to win, because it gives G too much power, they hate Apple and don't want to have to be told what to do.

Samsung has always had a huge variety of phones, a much bigger and broader approach.

They have always led with a kind of crappy, thrown-together feature, but it was enough to put some wrap a bad campaign around good enough for a bulk of the Android community.
that's what montessori is doing. they actually mix kids over a three year age-range into the same class. kids learning faster don't cause a problem at all. the older kids take part in teaching the younger ones, so even if a child already completed the curriculum, there is no end in interesting activities to do that they learn something from.
%$#@!. LG was an early innovator - their touchscreen model slightly predated the iPhone - the G2 was a classic phone, and they have very good headphone/audio tech, having decided to keep it rather than ditch it.

Their modern phones are good and simple, alas, the company never recovered its image following the G3/G4 fiascos.

> That would imply that high school graduates are better educated than in my day. I find that hard to believe, as standardized test scores haven't improved since what, 1970?

Ages 9/13 on standardized tests of reading/arithmetic are improved, but age 17 has been fairly stagnant. It is somewhat confounded, though, because more people are still in school and tested at age 17 than before-- graduation rates are about 5% higher. And 37% of students are taking at least one AP class which covers subject matter that would previously be taught in college.

Scope and pace of education is increasing, but as your question points out-- it's not clear whether it's really resulting in better outcomes.

> But that's not really my complaint about public schools. My complaint is they don't teach accounting or how business works.

Yup, a whole lot of this is in AP Microeconomics, which is a bit of a rare course to be offered. (I've already decided what I'm teaching for 2021-2022, but maybe I should take this on for 2022-2023).

A lot of the stuff kind of shows up in algebra-- somewhere between algebra I and algebra II depending upon program. Lots of math problems of quadratic optimization where you're given inequalities describing units / raw materials / whatever and a polynomial describing income and an expression describing costs and have to find the maximum profit point, etc, along with analysis of simple and compound interest. But understanding how to do these problems and really understanding the concepts are different matters.

Sadly anyway in theory, dual stack is less secure than single stack, despite whether IPv6 good or bad.
I'm really looking forward to some competition for Tesla. I don't think I'm ready to purchase or even recommend a Mach-E but at least you can go to a dealer and drive one. That's much better than most other BEV cars that are "available".

My bigger concern is charging infrastructure. Tesla is just so far ahead in that area that it will be difficult for others to catch up in the short term. Especially if they don't get their act together and concentrate on it.
