Second that. The article lacks the good parts. It's clear that the rapporteur has not figured it out yet how to deal with the root DNS servers, but there is a broad consensus over the strategic autonomy goal [1].

One way or another, EU will force its way. Should it do it by e.g. empowering DIGIT to run root DNS servers?

They will for sure tender it off to a murky consortium, but at least there will be a positive political move.

Feeling old, thought this was about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiteStep and was very confused.
I think you read the other comment backwards?
If you look at the wikipedia article you'll notice a graph about the equitable sharing agreement. This is an agreement that the federal government has with state and local police where anything seized is shared with the federal government. Madoff's seizer wouldn't be included in that number I wouldn't think, but if it was, 2010 was only slightly higher than 2007, 2008 and 2009.

So the 2010 thing is just a coincidence and either isn't included in the equitable sharing agreement, or if it is, it shows the Madoff seizure is just a drop in the bucket. Either way, it's pretty bad.

The easy fix for civil forfeiture is assign the burden of proof to the state, not the citizen. Some states have done this very thing.

Ah; thanks, that makes a ton of sense. We've struggled with both "halves" of that phrase at different times, but recently we've done better on the O and are still weak on the ST part, so I was overly-focused on the most acute painpoint for us.
We used to stare at square radioactive flickering screens all the time, and they were completely passive which can't be good for child development either.

I too share some concerns as a parent of 1 and expecting 2nd soon, but I don't mind accepting that I have no clue what kind of world our kids will live in. I might be out of touch with it in similar way current old generations are from phones and internet. It could also be that shielding kids from it at all costs because we think we know what's best for them might be a significant harm for them later in life.

Some things will disappear, some will get different and/or better, and new ones will come. Fine by me. I just wish it wasn't Facebook, a company with crystal clear amoral values through and through. Anytime Facebook wins, mankind loses in long term. But that might be just me getting already out of touch with current reality out there.

You are free to choose your DNS provider. On the other hand if we take your view and apply it in reverse: why should an American or Chinese person trust the EU to regulate the internet?

DNS roots have worked flawlessly. The EU can just create EU roots and be in control of them and regulate those. Nobody is opposed to that. You can even enforce vendors to only include EU roots when selling devices in the EU (I’m against this personally) or to ISPs (I’m more okay with this). But as a person who loves the EU I’m very much opposed to enforcing EU values and views to 3rd parties.
Well there's also the fact that the transistor is an applied physics device and not really the discovery of any new fundamental force or particle. Which some would (wrongly, in my opinion) consider engineering.
It's not totally clear they would really try to do this, but there is no world in which US military DNS servers submit to inspection, auditing, and regulation by the EU. This is nothing like regulating commercial service providers. Even where FVEY reciprocity agreements exist, it's only for products, not for equipment and processes. Even where the US government operates facilities in the UK, there are parts of those facilities non-US persons aren't allowed into. Since the UK left, no EU member state is even a part of FVEY.

Granted, DNS is not classified, so those specific restrictions do not apply, but you still can't just go up to the Pentagon unannounced with an EU regulator badge and expect to be let into the building.
Please stop peddling this post-truth bullshit. No one is "deciding which politics is wrong", they're talking about people spreading things that are verifiably false.

Great comment!

> A hundred years ago, most people didn't even think of becoming an author.

The following is a bit tangential, but I keep thinking about it:

I was watching this video on the Barnum effect recently, which basically says that people are likely to believe in the accuracy of vague descriptions of their personality (think horoscopes; "Libras need security").

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si2HoscBLIw&t=4m23s

The super-vague personality assessment, which was tailored to describe as many people as possible, included the wish for writing a novel (at 4m23s). That's how common this desire is/was? I wonder if the modern version of it would say "you have considered opening up on YouTube".

interesting analogy. there will, of course, be things the two-player mode can produce because there's more fingers on the piano keys. I can not physically play 15-20 keys with my two hands, but two players easily could. And... it probably sounds 'better' in some regards - richer/fuller/etc. But... it's going to take a lot more practice for people to work that close together physically. There aren't, AFAIK, a lot of piano pieces written specifically for two players - but that may be more a function of my limited knowledge vs something inherent in piano music.
I really want to see boxing scoring be fully automated. I would love to see crowdsourced classifiers of "good" boxing matches, rounds, and exchanges, compared with the traditional queensbury rules and hit scoring.

> But could fiction do the same? That is a yet unanswered question. There are a few serial fiction writers on Substack—but none are paid. There are thousands of paid fiction authors on Patreon but only 25 earn more than $1,000/month, only six earn more than $2,000/month, and only one earns more than the $5,000/month (and she’s already a bestselling author).

I think those statistics are extremely suspect. I subscribe to a few fiction authors on Patreon, and there's a few I did subscibe to but don't any more. I know of at least 4-5 fiction authors making a lot of money, like $10k+/mo ($15k+/mo in some cases) writing fairly niche content (litrpg and/or xianxia type work).

Then, when they get enough chapters for the current long-running fiction together, they bunfle it into a book and release on Kindle Unlimited, as an additional source of income.

Here's some examples:

- https://www.patreon.com/senescentsoul - 2163 patrons as of now, minimum tier is $2.50/mo, but I suspect most people are paying $5 since that gives access to all advance chapters and not just some, and you can read delayed chapters on royalroad.com. So, probably somewhere between $4k and $8k a month, and this is their side hustle while in college I think.

- https://www.patreon.com/DefianceNovels - 1393 Patrons. There is a $1/mo option, but various tiers from $3/mo to $10/mo give you up to 50 advance chapters from where it's publishes for free on royalroad.com.

- https://www.patreon.com/jdfister - Page says they are making $4,116/mo from 517 patrons, similar situation as above with royalroad.com and advance chapters, as a point towards how much to expect the above people are making.

- https://www.patreon.com/Zogarth - $12,753/mo from 1,886 subsribers. Same situation as above with free publishing on royalroad.com and advance chapters.

- https://www.patreon.com/RhaegarRRL - 3,317 patrons, my guess is they are making well above $5k/mo.

- https://www.patreon.com/Shirtaloon - $17,297 from 2,403
patrons. Similar as above. Books showing up on Kindle Unlimited.

These are just some people I actually read or read at some point in the past for a while, not a bunch I searched out that includes the top people. This is an answered question, IMO. If random web serials I'm reading are making this much money, I suspect there's a large amount of people making money this way.

This is a really insightful point. I had to learn this the hard way :)

We might follow your lead on this, as we have done with so many other great ideas implemented in D.

Ironically, Vexu started from the other side as you, with the preprocessor mostly done, but the backend left to-do: https://github.com/Vexu/arocc

One thing that might make libclang worth the cost, however, is its ability to compile C++ code as well. On Zig's end of things, all we have to do is provide libcxx, libcxxabi, libunwind, compiler-rt, and linking, and then libclang is really pulling a lot of weight by compiling C++ code into object files. Sadly this ability is just too useful in practice to ignore. For example, LLVM itself is C++ so if Zig wants to be able to bootstrap itself, it needs this capability.

Still, I think your maneuver here is the best long-term approach to tackle this problem, and I imagine as time goes on we'll start to migrate towards D's solution here. Maybe someday the Zig distribution that does not have LLVM extensions enabled will be the more popular one.

I'll be watching the evolution of this new feature in D with great interest!
Those Cold War systems have since been replaced with much more efficient systems that don’t just spew signals into space, so there’s only a ten or twenty year window during which another civilization could have looked to see those signals. Since then, we’ve become much quieter because signals that can be detected hundreds of light years away are expensive and not necessary for a specie that lives within an 8 minute light radius.

I have mixed feelings about code reviews. It seems like sometimes they're an opportunity to show off so every review _will_ find something insignificant; sometimes code reviews are rubber stamps and just not useful. There's a balance though where you get concise thoughtful responses.

It seems like there is something about pairing though that guarantees a focus on shallow insignificance. I don't like dismissing something that has smart proponents but I just can't find a way to make pair programming anything other than negative. The real time aspect rules out depth.
I was using whatever the latest Lightroom version was at the time. I started using the 17-40 around 2009-2010 I'd say, and I bought the 17-55 much later, so I suppose that Lightroom support improved in the meantime. Plus the difference was apparent on the camera's screen, with all the controls unchanged between the lenses.

I actually tend to add vignetting in post-processing, so that's likely not the cause. The issues I had were with color rendition, and in particular with subtle variations in tone.

I don't remember there being any strong chromatic aberration either. I remember that both the 17-55/2.8 and the 17-40/4 where quite highly rated at the time, with the former having a better measured quality than the latter, even on a crop sensor.

Don't get me wrong, I don't remember there being any "technical" issues with the 17-55. It was plenty sharp and aberrations were kept to a minimum, especially since I never pushed my luck with strong backlight, etc.

But maybe that's the thing, images were maybe too "clinical". I wouldn't say the pictures were "depressing", they were just... "meh". Like random snapshots. Sharp, well-exposed snapshots, but snapshots still.

Edit: Regarding editing, I should add that I experimented with DxO optics, which had profiles for both lenses. The corrections were quite amazing, especially at the wide end. But given my usual subject matter, I never considered the change meaningful, so it didn't bother with it in my regular workflow.
And they would generally sell the authors hundreds of copies of their printed book (because it wasn't economically feasible to do print-on-demand like today), which the author was expected to find buyers for. Most didn't, and many people clearing out the houses of dead relatives found dusty boxes of unsold books which cost the relative a lot of money.
That is exactly how gdpr is set up. Which is good.

I think it is very healthy and good for major companies like Facebook or Youtube to create kids versions of their apps to keep our kids safe, to make sure parents understand what their kids do online and also to have better compliance with law.

> Team work is much more natural if you are up against an external enemy in the broadest sense

This is why I've always found it frightening when some management type starts talking about the book Extreme Ownership. I am a veteran, though I was not SOF, and I have strong opinions about why military management mindsets do not translate well to the business world in _most_ cases. To be fair, I have not read the book, but from what I have heard from those who have read it, I would be wary of anyone trying to apply it to a software engineering shop.

If you have a group of 10 random people, you'll have to count on 1-2 of them not knowing something important you think everyone knows (if you're lucky).

If you have a group of 100 random people - that's now 10-20 people. A whole team, maybe two if the cards are particularly bad.

The Army has 479, 000 people. They also have significant, predictable turnover, so if they teach everyone all those things once, in 4-5 years no one in some military specialities will know it again. Based on the average time in service (6.7 yrs) data I can see, even if they teach literally everyone everything they might not know that is considered essential, in ~ half a decade at least 1/3 of the people in the Army won't know some or most of it again.

Add in that people can only pay attention to and retain so much, and you have to repeat things a lot, explain things from a bunch of different angles, and then test and validate on top of that before you can assume they know it.

Even then, they might forget in a week.

It's law of large numbers and people.
You're right, condescension is the wrong word. I apologize.

I do think it's misplaced confidence, though. Look at the upvotes/downvotes on the comments in the type-ahead issue thread. What the gnome developers are saying is clearly unpopular, and what the person who filed the issue and others are saying is clearly popular. Yes, of course, that's not a representative sample of all users. But was there ever a representative sample taken? What gives them the confidence to declare that the search behavior is superior, and so far superior that it must completely subsume the old behavior without even an option? No evidence is presented in that thread. They only say "This was a decision made a while ago, because people believed that searching can provide the same functionality." On what evidence is that belief based on, and what would be sufficient to overturn it? How large of a user outcry would there need to be? If this were my software and 59 people thought that one of my decisions was wrong (the largest vote count in that thread), I would start to strongly question my assumptions. No such questioning appears to be happening here.

To respond to your specific replies:

> technical review

This is a design question, not a bug. It's not about the code. The complaint is obviously valid.

> I don't think it would be much benefit for there to be a setting

Of course, anyone who will keep a setting in one position doesn't see value in there being a setting. I don't either: I'd be even happier if it always worked the old way, instead of a setting. But that's what settings are for, where there's multiple valid ways for something to work and not everyone agrees.

> technically viable

The old behavior is obviously technically viable, it worked that way for many years. So again, that's irrelevant, unless you're arguing that a setting to switch the behavior is too technically difficult, which seems implausible.

> Once the decision has been firmly made, there's little purpose to accepting further feedback after that.

Of course there is! If you don't accept further feedback, how will you ever know if your decision was wrong? This is the crux of it: a decision was "firmly" made by some developer based on who-knows-what criteria, and then no feedback is accepted, no matter how loud.

> losing users

I'm not a gnome user and never will be, but I'm forced to accept these decisions because they affect the gtk file dialogs also, and I can't exactly quit every piece of software that uses gtk.
At first I think, "this approach is playing roulette with a revolver," but on second thought if the cop was dirty they'd "find" something regardless of path. If you have the time the civic exercise of constitutional prerogatives is undoubtably as worthwhile and interesting as jury duty or voting.

This past year might have felt breezy if you're in your sixties, or bearable if you're in your thirties - but if you're in your teens or younger you've been deprived of a lot of social development time and there will be long term damage from this.

Additionally - I don't know if it really is an irrelevant factor for the future. This is a flu variant that could continue to mutate and cause havoc if governments act irresponsibly or if a particularly large segment of the population continues to resist vaccination and mask wearing while being egged on by idiots on TV. Lastly, global habitat destruction increases the chances we discover fun new world ending diseases, hopefully we won't see another one for decades, but it's unlikely that we'll be spared another global pandemic for the next 100 years.
I can't say I've ever missed any Word features in Google Docs, and would pretty much agree there. There have been a few cases I wished Google Sheets did more and found Excel did support what I was looking for, though back when I used Excel (mostly in college) I used it less heavily then I use Google Sheets today.
The difference is that the business itself (ie. the provider of the boxes) is alleged to be criminal.
How is that $50 drone hovering next to my face going to breatherlizer me to see if I'm drunk? Will I have to put my face next to the rotor blades? And if the drone thinks I'm drunk, will the drone pull me out of the car before I speed off and run over some kid? Can the drone wrestle me into handcuffs?

I don't think technology is the solution to these problems. Not this sort of technology anyway. At the end of the day police will still have to physically interact with suspected criminals. And in America, where common people often own guns, that means risking their lives. But just how risky is it actually? I think we need more training to put these risks into perspective. The odds of any particular cop ever getting shot are quite low, but cops who consume cop media on cop websites and hang out on cop facebook groups or other cop echo chambers created by social media algorithms will naturally be exposed to more headlines about cops getting hurt. I believe these fear-mongering echo chambers induce an unjustified level of fear in the police officers who participate in them. Giving the police more high tech toys won't assuage these irrational fears; if anything I think it will might validate those fears. If you're a well-meaning cop who spends half your weekend watching videos of police in shootouts with criminals, then on monday your boss gives you a bunch of high tech body armor and drones, wouldn't that validate your perception of having an exceptionally dangerous job?

> I want most influential civilian paper work like silencer tax stamps and the NFA to be invalidated, too.

Here we agree, particularly with respect to silencers, which are safety devices. But for as long as those laws exist for the common people, I oppose police having exemptions to them.
