You complete ignore what I wrote and post random links that make no sense in the context.

My stance is you should film.

My stance is you should not interfere in any way with police as a bystander unless you ask first and get permission to help.

My stance is that if you get ordered to do something you have to follow that order. If you dont, you are in fact interfering and you are subject to lawful arrest.

The fact that police can give you illegitimate order doesn't change that.

For example they may not have the authority to demand you to stop filming but they can order you to leave the scene or hold appropriate distance. And various other stuff like to pull your hands out of your pocket. Its relevant to the safely of themself and everyone around. If you dont comply they have the right to arrest you. And as soon as they tell you that you are under arrest you lose your right to record or at lest you right to hold and point the cam the way you want.
And yes there rules all apply even if you think the police is doing something illegitimate or brutal or whatever. You are not a judge and your subjective interpretation of the situation does in no way change what what you are and aren't allowed do do. Its really not that hard of a concept.

Since you like links here is one for you https://youtu.be/qiZi-BpzFuc?t=72
As you can see people seriously think they need to film stuff because a dozen officers clearly are trying to kill someone and the only thing that could save the person are the bystander with phones. But police keeps them at a distance so they can kill the person anyway without video evidence. After 90 minutes they gave up because too many bystanders could potentially film the killing. Brave brave bystanders saving people form state funded killer pigs.
People are so out of touch with reality they act like little kids who insist that all adults are complicit to be mean to them for no reason.
Lame. There's nothing wrong with something being a little bit funny and irreverent. Not everything needs corporate marketing polish.

I assumed it was making fun of Twitter. Honestly, I'm a little disappointed that it wasn't intentionally using "toot" as a double entendre.
I can definitely get on-board with this. When AWS or Azure has some outage they pull me into calls and ask me what to do. These vendors are so large it's like asking me for my advice on the weather. Everything is screwed, man. Just hunker down and go read a book or something.
Good luck. Even with my old intel based Mac I struggled to find a decent dock. Lots of docks have DisplayPorts and hdmi or if you’re unlikely like myself you are forced to use USB C to hdmi dongles.

I haven’t bought a DisplayLink and probably won’t. Once an Arm based Mac comes out with dual monitor support I’m giving my wife the M1 Air and buying a new one.

The loss of the wash sale is added to the basis of the next purchase. You would still be taxed on a gain of $100 in that scenario.

The nasty case is if you buy X at $100, sell at $1000, buy at $1000, wash sell at $100, then buy at $100.

You have $900 in gains according to the wash sale rule but no actual gains. Your basis in X is $1000, so you would have no gain if you sold at the current price, but if you hold it until the end of the tax year, then you owe taxes on $900 despite not making anything.

im surprised the stripe DID happily collect the shipping fees, then only to freeze the money as soon as the vendor decided to use them? do they always work like this - collect as much as possible just to screw the business over? even me, the backer feels screwed, thats MY money, that i want to pay to the project I decided.

I prefer C#/F# over Dart, but Flutter is promising, and I continue to check in once and a while. I usually overcome PL preferences when the platform or toolkit is compelling. I remember Notch (of Minecraft fame) adopted Dart very early on, and I actually tried it out back then. Somebody had written a Lisp in Dart. I really like F#, and it seems to be sidelined all the time with .NET. There are more and more ways to write C# in a functional way, and it has become the lingua franca of many game engine/3D media creation tools like Unity, Wave Engine, Flax, and Stride to name a few.
Here is a recent one on Bolivia. They mangled the textbook definition of a coup. Faux news would be proud:

The funny thing is that you can be openly pro coup without resorting to lies. John Bolton and his crudeness will be missed. Although a Yale law graduate he refused to use sophistry of The Economist etc. for violent regime changes and attempts.

John Bolton on a Fox TV interview talking the advantages of a coup in Venezuela and how to take over Venezuelan oil:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_yHo9efvO8

“We’re looking at the oil assets,” Bolton said. “That’s the single most important income stream to the government of Venezuela. We’re looking at what to do to that.”

“We’re in conversation with major American companies now,” he continued. “I think we’re trying to get to the same end result here.”

“It will make a big difference to the United States economically if we could have American oil companies really invest in and produce the oil capabilities in Venezuela,” Bolton admitted.

I agree with this analysis. We'd love to offer more assurances that the code hasn't changed out from under you when using Wormhole.app. We really need a better way to "pin" a site to a current version and only update it with user consent.

Right now, we're limited by the capabilities of the web platform and will probably need to ship a native app to accomplish this.

Source Engine (CS:GO, Team Fortress 2, etc) has a bunch of RCE that were disclosed to Valve years ago and which they did nothing about, and which have been released to public at this point. Join a server and they can RCE on your machine. Another one can be triggered just from a Steam invite.

Too bad Valve makes money now and not games, they can't even get a fix out after it's been disclosed for years.

Last I heard he was starting to hit Titanfall 2 xbox servers too (since nothing has been done after years attacking the first one, why wouldn't he escalate it further?) and Respawn just don't care, they're done with it, they make piles of money from Apex now and don't care about supporting their older stuff.

Given the clientele of this website, hoping a little name-and-shame might bring some attention to the issues...
with the amount of automated systems out there port-scanning IP ranges for vulnerabilities, being on discord with one (a vulnerability), even if discord exposed IPs, is not much more dangerous than just sitting around twiddling your thumbs waiting for a bot to hit your IP.

The risk of personal identification due to IP I can buy into; the risk that your already public IP may be exposed to a do-bad-criminal who wants to exploit you via Discord.. feels no more dangerous than having a vulnerable computer connected, anyway.
God damn it's like I'm back in 2010 where people praise Apple for doing things other people have already done.

Apple did not invent device trackers with replaceable batteries. Tile has been doing that since 2018 on some of their devices (Basically all except the smallest ones), and I imagine someone else did it before then.
If someone said "I tweeted about that" 15 years ago, would you have had a clue?

No, it's so close to being perfect: I can open the dropdown at the top with the mouse, but I have to SPEND ENERGY moving my shoulder, arm and wrist system over to the Enter key for the page to refresh. Unacceptable.

I’m a pretty decent programmer and I like to think that I know a lot more about computer security than most developers. I know for certain that if a well funded nation state went after data on a system I built, they would likely get it, no matter how hard I tried to prevent it.

There needs to be real audits, with teeth, of computer security stuff - audits run in an adversarial way without the issues involves in financial audits. If you pass the audit, the fines should be minimal in the event of a breach.
oh yes so much this.

and yet, the most popular libraries tend to be very general, and libraries that are popular tend to try to get more and more general.

What's this about? Why are we chasing a different direction than the quality that comes from focused, opionated libraries?

Hell yes!

Also: It was dead for me the moment a *giant search engine company* decided naming something with 2 letters is a good idea.

That is either proof of being completely negligent with regards to wasting people's time in terms of making their work more difficult; or it is proof of bragging how good your search engine is.

Neither is a favorable thing to do. And actually probably both apply, people do probably miss a lot of good search results on Go no matter how smart their search engine is.

And you can't force everyone in every nook and cranny of the Internet to spell it "golang".
I'm an absolute huge fan of all things .NET but I'm honestly a little hesitant about MAUI for now. Just feels a little early and duct-tapped? I also had a poor experience with Xamarin years ago...

Flutter is such a good experience for us right now. I'd love "Flutter but in C#" which I think is what they want to do with Xamarin.Forms. Is it ready?
Yup, but if you were to make a judgement call, more like than not that it would be the same place.

Fire the people responsible and make them unable to work for a district for five years.
Interesting thought - not quite sure how to develop it into a viable concept though. We are working on technology to capture CO2 from seawater while simultaneously producing green hydrogen from seawater without desalination using off shore wind energy ( initially mostly surplus). We are pre-seed pre-revenue but with lots of interest from offshore wind operators particularly since Biden's ambitious plan. If said currency could help fund scaling such technologies... just wondering
I'm not sure if that is correct in the agpl sense...
Unfortunately that’s the actual way it’s spelled, at least for branding purposes.
I'm the co-founder of https://smartcar.com and we are in an adjacent space. We provide an API for cars to make it easy for developers to integrate with vehicles. Part of that process is to let consumers go through an Oauth flow and accept permissions before an app has access to a vehicle.

In my opinion, it's possible put privacy in the hands of consumers and enable developers to buidl apps for cars easily. I'm hoping this consortium adheres to these principles too.
I get that a nice looking project can make people want to use it more, but what I'm really asking is your motivation. Why is it important that people other than yourself use it?

Introduction to Linear Regression for Finance
Even if (which is far from the reality) only dead wood would be collected from the forest, it's still releasing CO2 which would otherwise be mostly sequestrated by microorganisms and fungi in the forest soil and provide a key ingredient to a functioning soil ecosystem.

The reality is: huge amounts of protected forests (e.g. in Romania or Estonia) are cut down and sold as firewood in central Europe.
Consider an extreme example -- someone takes LibreOffice and many other GPL-licensed programs and creates a business where you can only access them through the internet. They make massive (useful changes) to LibreOffice to the point that a vast majority of users switch to the online version because it is objectively better.

However, because you can only access their fork of a GPL project over the internet, there is no requirement for them to provide users the source code of software they're using (which is based on software developed by other people under the social contract of the GPL). Thus users are using software which is technically free software but they have no mechanism by which to excerise any of their freedoms nor even see the source code of a program they use purely because the protocol used to display the interface is HTTP rather than X (yes, it's also not running on the same computer, but from a user's perspective it doesn't matter if it runs on your computer or not -- they are using and depend on the program, even if it happens to be running on a different computer).

Do you agree that this scenario is a problem, and the GPL is not helping to solve it? If so, then you now understand the reason behind the AGPL and how it is clearly in line with the spirit of free software. If not, then I'm not sure you fully buy into the concept of user freedom. User freedom is a holistic thing, it isn't a technical definition that cares about specific implementation details.

I would argue this is a bigger issue than tivoisation, because at least with tivoisation you can at least get the source code (even though you cannot use your freedoms on the hardware you bought). In this SaaS scenario, you can't even see the source code of software you are using.

The 10x class here are not 10x programmers - they have 10x or more the reach because they can be a celebrity/leader on a platform that reaches vastly more people. But the other side of that is the very few people will be able to command much attention, 1 in 100k or something. They will suck up tons of money and the network affect of being able to reach thousands of people at once will suck ever more money to them. As people lose their jobs from increasing automation, the somehow lacking in clear conclusion article says more income will go to these kind of incredible-reach people.
You're probably right, since repo is under the "tootsuite" organization. This also explains Hootsuite's name.

> I don't see a license that forbids the generation of revenue ...

The AGPL does not "forbid the generation of revenue". There exist revenue-generating services powered by AGPL software.

> Nothing is being used improperly or against the spirit of free software when software freedom is exercised (by a service provider)

If that exercise of software freedom hampers an end-user from exercising their software freedom, then that's pretty clearly "against the spirit of free software".
You don't get a copper-63 nucleus if you hit a nickel-62 nucleus with a proton, you get a copper-61 nucleus and two neutrons in the reaction:

62Ni(p,2n)61Cu

Copper-63 has spin of 3/2 while nickel-62 has a spin of 0, so you can't simply add a proton (whose spin is 1/2), you need at least 3 fermions to participate in the reaction.

The Copper-61 and two neutrons of course have a higher mass than the Nickel-62 and the proton.
This is an interesting take on it. But it gives me great concern.

The problem isn't so much with PRs themselves but the journey up to the PR. If the reviewer has no context of the work, or the author has diverged too much from what was planned, things can quickly get messy with questions and knowledge sharing that should have been done before the code was written in the first place. I don't see PRs going away any time soon but they should be treated more as a part of a CI/CD pipeline and less as an actual code check.

Why are VPS providers giving out blacklisted IPs?

Apartments have always been kind of a sucker's deal compared to houses though. Houses in almost any condition can still be worth a ton, because you the owner have complete control over the state of the building on the land (including, knock it down and put a new one in).
That I do not know. All I know is: if there is no signature to consent to car data sharing, nobody ever will be able to request the consent. The car may be trying talking to manufacturer but what happens there, I do not know. This is all regulated by the ISO 27017 standard.
I am on Mastodon, and it feels very much like a non-corporate version of Twitter in its interface and content. I am not surprised that they went with "Toots" to match Twitter's "Tweets".

But it mostly doesn't matter whether they called it "Toots" or "Posts" (or Japanese localization of "Toots", which is what I get), since I mostly don't pay any attention to the UI elements after I have gotten used to it. It might make a difference for acquiring new users, but I don't get the feeling that rapidly growing the network is a priority for Mastodon.
> stalkerware for a mass-market product

which is specifically a problem Apple has had with "Find My", so it's nice to see them taking it seriously here.
The big tech monopoly in China is even worse - with the players owning basically all communications and payments too
I personally don't think anyone is fair game for stalking and this device lowering the barrier to entry should be discussed, and discussing it shouldn't get the kneejerk reaction that they're being painted in a bad light. There are plenty of questions here like:

- How does the anti stalking alert in apartment buildings or people frequently in close proximity for long periods of time?

- Since they considered that this is a risk in the first place then are non Apple users are risk here too? Did they provide appropriate mitigations for them as well?

- What's the future for the Find My network? It would be interesting to standardize and allow for more interoperability in the Find My network.
> Say the AGPL web server we find online comes with code that adds a link to download a tarball of its source code at the bottom of every webpage. And say that tarball ticks all the boxes of the to-do list in the network copyleft paragraph of section 13. Say I don’t like offering visitors the source code to my blog. I can modify the program to remove the code that adds those links and serves those tarballs.

Seems like you wouldn't even need to do this much, no? It should be possible to "unquine" such a program with any ol' proxy that:

1. Blocks whichever URLs are used to obtain copies of the source code, and optionally

2. Edits the page HTML in-flight to remove links to those blocked URLs

Step 2 obviously assumes that the HTML itself is not the program's code - i.e. the same assumption by which we don't need to subject ODF documents to the GPL just because LibreOffice or whatever is GPL'd.
> I suspect the total cost of wood heating is a bit lower than with a heat pump.

According to this article from 1993, it was a toss up in terms of cost savings then:

https://nasdonline.org/1359/d001154/do-you-waste-money-by-he...

Since that time, heat pumps have become much more efficient at a wide set of operating temps, and the cost of wood has gone up, so it's unlikely that a wood stove is cheaper to operate, unless you have your own forest, and are willing to fell trees and chop and dry firewood yourself.
