Of course they have stocks that far exceed young managed forests (they store a lot). But forests do not continue packing biomass on indefinitely (the rate of sequestration slows and eventually stops). See this summary of Malmshmeimer (2011) [1]:

“Trees do die, and at a rate that eventually reaches some kind of a stasis at a landscape level,” says Fried. “In some stands, up to one hundred percent of the trees will be killed by a fire or insect outbreak; other stands con- tinue to grow, but over the entire forest you’ll eventually reach a plateau, after which the
net in-forest growth and carbon accumulation rates decline—eventually to zero.” Many pro- tected forests on public lands, especially those in parks and wilderness areas, are no longer increasing carbon storage, he says.

> Just got kicked off of google music as a paying customer, so nope, got a shitty youtube music replacement.

YouTube Music isn't available in my area. Got kicked off Google Play Music with a "download your content, we're deleting it" and couldn't pay even if I wanted to.

Announced discontinuation in August, full deletion of my Music Library in February.

> On 24 February 2021, we will delete all of your Google Play Music data. This includes your music library, with any uploads, purchases and anything you've added from Google Play Music. After this date, there will be no way to recover it.
While I'm not arguing the general point of the article, I will counter point one thing.

> Will Google Cloud even exist a decade from now?

This seems wildly speculative, and the likelihood of GCP, or its core offerings, not existing any time so soon is next to zero. Google has to royally fuck up for this to be the case, but even if it ends up being case, there will be a string of lawsuits lined up that will likely cost the company more than keeping the product.

I've worked at billion dollar companies that aren't shy to drop a lawsuit who have gone all in on GCP, with contracts worth millions of dollar. To force such a company off their product seems reckless at best, malicious at worst. Such a big decision would drive Google into the ground, maybe not from the consumers, but certainly from the lawsuits that will inevitably ensue.
I've never owned an IoT bulb but I imagine you leave the AC power on to them all the time and they control the light themselves.

I hate google and would NEVER use GCP for anything remotely meaningful (I'd use Azure and even Oracle first). Nevertheless I had a domain issue (through google.Domain ) and I was pleasantly surprised by the customer support. Almost as good as AWs paid support.

Otoh I find AWS quite straightforward, but I've been using it for several years now. Their support is worth their weight in gold.
It's a perfectly fine design so long as there's one, and only one, program that is maximizing its RAM usage. When you have many programs (e.g. the browser, Teams, slack, every single electron app), then you get loads of contention.

This 100% describes me. Not only does WSL remove a reason to dump Windows for Linux but it evens removes the need to dual boot. Linux is becoming a Windows App like a browser or media player.
Maybe they do, windows costs money to enhance/secure/optimise/etc

Could be easier for just make Linux do the hard lifting and put a Microsoft layer on top
If you make changes to a large shared module, is it your responsibility to chase down each and every usage of it? For example if you are upgrading a dependency due to a somewhat breaking security issue such as Jackson 2.8->2.12
Sure, but the data on the phone will lead you to evidence in the real world, which will be meaningful proof that can be used in court.

This requires money and time that often only large corporations have the luxury of.
I would agree that it does, and I do agree that we should try to reach that point. I just want to point out that I think it's dangerous to assume safety in general because one thing is assumed to be safe.

NGOs with selfless people are the ones which saved many from perishing on the roads during national lock-down in the first wave, Now they are the ones again helping the needy in the second wave where states, unions are taking the initiative for lock downs upon themselves; Yet the result is is same - Poor suffer and perish.

I'm getting the make-you-sick-for-48-hours 2nd Moderna shot tomorrow. And, a high-res CT scan in 2 days of my left inner ear.

Interestingly, I just went to an audiologist last week where they said my hearing was on the high-end of normal except for high frequencies. Unfortunately, I have terrible tinnitus already (Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee), hear my left eye move, hear my voice (rather than voices) in my head (autophony), and hear my pulse when elevated. It's likely SCDS or another dehiscence. Also have misophonia (can't stand when people scrape their forks on their teeth). For more vestibular fun: Tullio phenomenon and pulse-synchronous oscillopsia. Oh yeah, and lots of intermittent but chronic ear pain.

> the renter needs to have more to cover future rent.

If you're comparing like for like, then a renter with the same amount of capital as a house owner would work out just as well, because the renter would have invested that capital into the stock market (which, i believe, have out-paced real estate).

If you're comparing a renter who don't own any capital, to somebody who owns a house, then of course the house owner is better off - they have more capital!

Places like Austin, Denver/Boulder hell, even Seattle were affordable not that long ago. But they weren’t cool (which is why they were affordable). Suddenly they become desirable, housing prices go up and people complain they can afford to buy where everyone else is buying.

Growing produce in your garden is nice. Growing produce wholesale is a freak show. If you are to bring the freak show to the very core of the human, at least get something out of it. Organ harvesting, for instance. Or, better yet, forced conscription in penal brigades. Old man Hammurabi said all you have to do to be lawful is limit the violence, not create it.

VMware can handle live migration. I know, I worked there for a while and that was one of the key things we sold as our stuff being better than “the cloud”.

AWS has had a partnership with VMware for a while now, so I would imagine/hope that they could still do live migration, even when running in the AWS cloud.

That does make me wonder why AWS doesn’t implement the same functionality native, though.....

I think this is a little inaccurate. Google's monorepo does have branching but it is a second class citizen with minimal support that most engineers aren't aware of unless you've carried a product through many releases.

That being said, every release can stand on its own and be iteratively changed without taking on changes from the rest of the company.

The highest possibilities for breakages to be introduced are at boundaries where your long running services depend on an another team's service(s), but this problem is not unique to Google.

Google can choose to maintain a long running maintenance project or deprecate it, and I won't claim to know what plays the biggest factor in that decision (it's likely unique to every team), but having a monorepo definitely is not part of the equation.

Cloud computing hasn't existed for all that long though - eventually a cloud provider is going to fold for one reason or another, and that'll change the industry pretty thoroughly when it does happen.

> I seem to remember the Trump DOJ threatening to renew prosecutions and members of Congress making it clear that they would expand the prosecution ban if they had to.

If its not “sufficient numbers of Republican members of the Senate to force McConnell to actually allow it on the floor”—and it wasn’t—it was an empty threat; the House actually passed an expanded prosecution ban twice and a general decriminalization, none of those made it into any bill on the Senate floor.

> Biden's open opposition is the bigger issue here.

Not really, Biden publicly supports legalization of medical marijuana, decriminalization, rescheduling, permitting state choice on legalization, and automatic record expungement. This differs from federal legalization substantively only in that there would be federal backup for states that choose not to legalize, and has not openly opposed (or supported) the stronger legalization proposals now being announced by, among others, much of the Democratic Senate leadership.

The only meaningful barrier to something very close to full legalization is support in the Senate, mainly the potential of a filibuster, but there’s a couple uncertain D votes (like Manchin) that could prevent even a bare majority.

The President and the majority of the Democratic caucus have different positions, but not far enough apart to be a real barrier to lawmaking.

> Biden was a major Democratic leader in spearheading America’s war on drugs during the 1980s and ’90s.

Yeah, but its not the 80s and 90s; its the 2020s, and Biden has a very different position today.
> By a truly unbelievable coincidence, I was recently out for a walk when I saw a small package fall off a truck ahead of me. As I got closer, the dull enterprise typeface slowly came into focus: Cellebrite. Inside, we found the latest versions of the Cellebrite software, a hardware dongle designed to prevent piracy (tells you something about their customers I guess!), and a bizarrely large number of cable adapters.

Does anyone find a package dropping off a truck and first take a picture of it, pick it up and go home to open it?

Even if someone picks up the package, usually taking a picture of it doesn't come to their mind. It's an unsual bit in the story. Unless, they went back and put the bag on the road to show that it was found just for the sake of "recreating the story" purposes.

First, TLS outages pop a warning box up on your screen, and DNSSEC outages make your site entirely disappear from the Internet. So that's a difference.

But the bigger difference is, TLS gets you an encrypted secure channel between the client and the server, and DNSSEC gives you... a signed name lookup.

DNSSEC's risks are larger, and the rewards far smaller.

Signal Founder exploiting vulnerabilities in Cellebrite UFED
Wrong. You're talking about "fruit of the poisonous tree", which only involves evidence found as a result of an illegal search. A legal search that results in "false" evidence, which is later used to find "real" evidence will still meet sufficiency in court, because the now-"real" evidence is still admissible, just like the "false" evidence is admissible. It's just that the defense can have the "false" evidence thrown out because it's not verifiable.

In the example being discussed here, it's absolutely still fine for LE and there isn't a need to find a secondary source that side-steps the FOTPT argument. In fact, I could drag a subject into an interview, take his phone and present a warrant to search his phone.

If he refuses to unlock the phone, I can say "fine, we'll use our special software instead" and take it back to another room. After the interview, I give him back his phone and immediately bring in his co-conspirator. If I show the conspirator fake messages between him and my first subject and get him to testify against my subject, that's still admissible. If this is the case, why would using potentially-false/unverifiable Cellebrite data be inadmissible?
A vandalism rampage is never really a productive form of protest. And as shitty as it is to be falsely locked up for 21 years it is far far better than being wrongly killed, which are the events that led to the "vandalism rampages" I assume you are referring to.
A reasonable offer is an offer of a job that you applied for. Random people saying 'hey cutie wanna be a sex worker' do not comprise offers.
What would really solve this is if guys had to do it.

I mean, imagine if you had to service other guys for your pay, no matter how ugly they were, no matter how little you liked them, and often with little power to stop them. I say with other guys to ensure that it isn't a pleasurable experience for most of you in the way it wouldn't be for women.

It's not something we as a culture want to have. You all need to have a bit of empathy, to be blunt; prostitution in general has never been something the majority of women liked, and it often was something forced on them.
This is getting bad enough that it’s making me want to check out the De-Googled Chromium fork.

Doesn’t someone somewhere have a De-Fucked Firefox fork that is actually kept up to date?
Chrome found that the Internet as it actually exists, with a diversity of broken middleboxes, made DANE impossible to deploy effectively. You can't count on DANE lookups succeeding, because middleboxes shoot down DNSSEC lookups, which look weird compared to ordinary lookups. You can't distinguish between a broken middlebox shooting down your DANE lookup and an adversary deliberately suppressing DANE lookups. So, in effect, all DANE bought you was an additional single point of failure; you still had to trust the rest of the WebPKI infrastructure.

It's worth keeping in mind that proof of domain ownership doesn't have to depend on the DNS; you can also just ask registrars directly, via something like RDAP. If we're going to keep pinning Internet trust to name ownership, there's probably no reason we have to involve the DNS at all. Moreover: if you can accomplish WebPKI trust using an RDAP-type lookup, that pretty much obviates the need to forklift in a cumbersome, pre-outmoded signing system for the DNS itself.
I use a lot of different computers/phones. I put sticky labels on them to remind me what is what. I basically have a separate laptop for each of my companies, and a few personal ones. I don't cross the streams.

Lots of email clients support multiple accounts, too. Browsers easily support multiple profiles with independent cookie jars for different webmail logins.

For addresses that aren't security boundaries and from which you never need to send mail, you can forward them to your main address using a + tag and filter them thus into a folder.
Hi-5 fellow "got caught across the boundary" traveller. This happened to me when I moved jobs to be devops lead on a new product for a company - the google recommended contractor implemented regular AppEngine with ndb, and about 6 months later we were staring down the barrel of everything being deprecated (and had to do the same: add a redis instance to the stack) and then hope that the new AppEngine was going to be ready when we actually went live.

It eventually came together but we ended up having to do a whole lot of refactoring while we were on a tight launch schedule.
