> Alcohol does a great deal of harm simply because it’s very common and often severely abused.

The body of someone who uses medical heroin every day with clean needles and doesn't drink alcohol will be in a much better state than someone that drinks two liters of beer every day. Of course I don't think that there is a person with a heroin addiction that doesn't also have an alcohol problem.

I think it makes sense to look at alcohol as more dangerous than heroin from a personal risk perspective.

> At the other end, 1 glass of wine every day for 60 years is as far as we can tell on net harmless.

The evidence seems to be that even low levels of alcohol consumption can increase the risk of certain cancers:

One reason the Netherlands was used (in the past) was that royaltys and interest paid from the Netherlands didn't have a withholding tax, so you could freely move money from "high tax" countries to "low tax" countries. That tax was introduced in January 2021, so maybe there are other reasons now.

Not just in the US. In Germany economic-liberal politicians keep pushing for privatized infrastructure all the time, arguing it would be better managed by a private company.

This goes as far as privatizing toll collection on public streets. Unsurprisingly this always leads to badly maintained infrastructure and higher costs in the end.

Its difficult to explain to people who live in cities how different things are in the suburbs. There's no street lights or even Sidewalks where I live. There is No Public transportation in off-peak hours, none. And ride-share... with who--someone who lives miles away from you?? What about in the snow when its a bitch to just get your own ass in on time.

This the reality for millions and millions of people in the US.

I'd like to think I would have resisted responding, but I see another response that doesn't answer your question, so, oh well-

The dictionary seems to use "murder" for premeditated killing. Even if you think Israelis are the devil incarnate, killing children doesn't serve their interests. You have to go pretty far into conspiracy territory to believe they secretly want those children to die, and then turn around and explain to everyone how they try to prevent those kids from dying. It certainly serves Hamas's interests more than it serves Israeli interests.

Google's dictionary returns "without emotion or pity; deliberately cruel or callous" for cold-blooded. See above. Any reasonable pro- or anti-Israel position would concede that Israelis would be happier without civilian casualties.

Without wheel speed sensors, distance and speed errors quickly accumulate.

With a particle filter and enough computation, that error can be eliminated after the fact. Ie. At the time you won't know where you are, but after you get out of the metro and the particle filter reconverged you'll know where you were with more accuracy at some point in the past.

Not necessarily. If you have multiple keys active in local your SSH Agent, then connect to a malicious host with Agent Forwarding enabled, the malicious host could try to connect to to a third host and I believe it will try to use all active keys from the local agent.
The hardware, software and protocols are written by humans so they are definitely part of the problem!

Massive fines sounds like an easy win but it doesn't work in practice in the sae way that massive fines don't stop corporate polluters, don't stop medical negligence and don't stop crime in general. Are they useful? Only where it is clear where the responsbility lays.

Take the VW emmissions scandal as an equivalent issue imho. Who gets a fine? VW? That isn't really fair if the decision was taken by an employee. The employees? They can't afford to pay a fine. All this would do is make it harder for disruptive startups who can't afford the potential fines.

Sadly, I think like most things, it will take a whole raft of things including educating people, punishing people and companies, regulating who is allowed to produce and sign-off systems, have mandatory MOTs for software so they can't be left to languish and even potentially creating seprate WWWs for those who follow the rules and the general public can trust vs those who believe in complete liberty to do whatever they want and who cannot be exposed to the general public who won't understand the risks they are exposing themselves to.
Build a GraphQL API on AWS with CDK, Python, AppSync, and DynamoDB(Part 2)
IIRC, the US navy had 2 rigid airships in the 30ies, Akron and Macon (both filled with Helium).

Both crashed after a few years in service, in weather related accidents (with significant loss of lives in Akron case).

These two examples are not isolated cases, several zeppelin crashed in similar circumstances.

Replacing H with He solves part of the safety issues with zeppelin, but not the main source of accidents. Given how high the susceptible to weather is, due to the inherent size an light weight of zeppelins, I don't think we will see a large zeppelin being built in the foreseeable future, despite all the projects around these.
Weirdly, I read this whole thread and assumed people were referring to shell in the form of an empty sea shell, representing an analogy to remnants of a now-dead life form. Which is what crude oil pretty much is.

I didn't even think "shell corporation" until I read your comment.
> taking an X amount of jobs with them

All three? These shell companies are often just a post address, sometimes an empty office with a plant (and someone to water the plant every week). The excuse is always that if we won't do it, someone else will and that we need international legislation. While that is true, someone needs to kick it off.

And I don't want the crumbs, they can stick those crumbs where the sun don't shine.
DevSecOps Challenges
Or, we can enforce the spirit of the law (companies with equal profit pays equal amount of tax or similar) rather than enforcing the letter of the law. You know, how we deal with lawbreakers otherwise. It's exactly the reason we have space for interpretation in laws in the first place.
This is a fallacy. Sure government gets income tax, but that is nowhere near the billions that are siphoned out of the economy. The income tax come from workers, who then have less money to spend in the local economy and that causes further negative effects.

> that is no guarantee because companies may just opt to not operate in the EU.

Great. Tax dodging companies should be banned and because of that local competition will have a chance to grow.
If they banned Uber from operating EU wide, I am sure smaller local companies would have picked up the market and that would benefit economy much more.

In Go, I would do one of:
* Pass the error value up unchanged
* Wrap the error inside another error
* Pass a new error
* Swallow the error and do something else to cope with failure

I would probably also do some error logging, capturing the state of relevant local variables, especially if it is one of those cases where "see an error" is unexpected.

While it's always good news that there's research going on in this field, the litmus test is still: do they have a large scale production process developed yet?

Currently the real revolution is the increasing density and thus cost-effectiveness of LiFePO4 batteries, which recently reached $100/kWh in certain applications and made the DoE revise its target from $80/kWh to $60/kWh.

High energy density and quick charging are nice-to-haves and would enable electric airliners, but what should be the focus for now is cost-effective grid-level energy storage - LiFePO4 are inching closer to that with every passing year.
The question is how much tax they should pay. To be fair and avoid double taxation, you'd roughly want to tax revenue in the US minus costs made to create that revenue. That quickly devolves into an endless fight to define exactly what contributes to US revenue, and which costs are made to create the US revenue.

It's easier to workaround that endless fight by ensuring that it doesn't matter where tax is paid.
Yeah, on the first question of the "easy" section, I noticed two differences:

1. The color of the indicator marker was green on the left, blue on the right

2. The space between the characters in the name was uneven on the left, even on the right.

I figured bad character spacing was more wrong than a blue indicator marker; but when I selected 2, it said I was wrong; and the "toggle to see the difference" showed them to be the same spacing, with the color being the only difference. Something screwed up in the rendering obviously, but that's going to make it pretty impossible to get very far.
> the format itself does not support truly glitchless playback, because it always stores an integer number of audio blocks, and adds padding at the beginning.

I agree, although arguably the MP3 "core format" has had a number of extensions around so many things that ultimately became de facto standards (vendor extensions if you will). I remember how you could not have precise seeking or current time display with VBR, which now seems to be now largely a solved problem.

> There are certainly nonstandard metadata hacks for MP3 to retrofit gapless support

One of these is LAME adding gapless stuff at least as far back as 2003, so yes it's a workaround to a format limitation, but it's quite an old one, and fairly stable and known well enough that it's been a while since encoders default to encode with gapless metadata.

There's an interesting historical explanation here:

https://sourceforge.net/p/lame/bugs/453/#1bd2

I do agree though that the easy path out of it is to just stop using MP3, for this reason and a zillion others ;)
I don't understand your argument. You want to point out that this is terrible, and in an ideal world, no one should be bombing anyone? Of course! That doesn't mean you should say, e.g. that Israelis are cannibals just because cannibalism is bad.
You'd probably be pretty pissed if your electricity provider suffered a ransomware attack on its billing system and then decided to stop your heating completely on its own accord because it can't know if you're paying your fair share.
The EU might have good intention but with the current system (technical and bureaucratic), you still cannot know that data has not been hacked and misused - it only takes one screwup and with the people I have worked with over the years, there is no reason to think that a screw up is ever that far away.

I think the only saving grace at the moment is that the chance of any individual being taken advantage of is low simply because there are so many people.

I would be much more worried if I was important and more likely to be targetted.
You should read this 1994 SciAm article (Software's Chronic Crisis, SciAm, September 1994). There are many copies of it on the web. It's old but it's still the best summary of the problem as it puts the software issue into context with other fields of engineering.

These links were the first I found and they've tested OK. The first is an html version, the others are PDFs with the last being the best quality (in color). If they don't work just search for the title and year.

Isn't the argument that it should be a utility and not a purely for-profit business? Would you expect your local water company to shut off supply if they have a similar bookkeeping problem?
I wonder if there is a capitalistic approach so solving this problem (making incentives align between the needs of the fuel distributor and that of the economy in the case of technical failure)?

The only approach I see is perhaps to have written into contracts with all buyers some kind of compensation for the pipeline being unavailable per hour.

Then colonial will prefer to have the pipeline turned on handing out free fuel because it's cheaper than the compensation for turning off.

Competition is not only ineffective in monopolistic markets. Also oligopolic markets are very inefficient. In Italy's example the price you now pay for your mobile plan (7 €/month for 50 GB) was made possible by Iliad, a new ISP that broke the Italian oligopoly and forced all competitors to bring prices down (or better data caps up) ten fold in the span of a few months.

Scaleway to EOL their ARMv7 (C1) instances
Just received this email from them:

June 1, 2021: quotas and limitations
As a C1 instance customer, you will be allowed to keep all your current C1 instances running, and may create one more new C1 instance. You will be allowed to start, stop and backup C1 instances, for you to evaluate possible migration scenarios.

From June 1, Scaleway Elements customers that do not already have C1 instances will not be able to create new ones.

July 1, 2021: end of support
July 1, 2021 will mark the end of support for C1, meaning no more patches, updates or interventions on software or hardware will be provided. You will not be able to open new support tickets for C1 instances either.

August 1, 2021: instance creation freeze
Scaleway Elements users will no longer be able to create C1 instances. As a C1 instance customer, your current instances will keep running, however in case of an instance stopping (planned or unplanned), you will not be able to restart the instance.

September 1, 2021: end of life
Flexible & dynamic public IPs will be detached from C1 instances to force a service interruption as a final warning. You will have 24 hours to migrate your instances.
Be warned that flexible IPs will still be charged if you do not delete them.
Before 2004(?) we had other official AMAZINGLY GOOD(in terms of gaining "fame" among fresh hackers) logo:

https://www.netbsd.org/images/NetBSD-old.jpg

I love NetBSD, as it supports about 40+(?) different architectures - back in the they were all listed properly on the main web page (right side) - it was amazing for bragging rights:

https://web.archive.org/web/20030422140310/http://www.netbsd...

but then suddenly:

- they changed the website to "modern" ascetics(and they removed the list of supported architectures from main page so no more bragging rights on landing page!]

- they changed numbering systemem of new releases (why?!)

- they simplified LOGO (not COOL anymore - just "professional")

and suddenly NetBSD was going down [after 3.0 release IMO] in terms of popularity AND funding :(

Only hope is in Chinese development who are using it for projects in mainland China.
I guess, but discounting active fraud, there is still a paper trail of how much you spent; The bank will still have said "We think you owe us $100, here is our reasoning based on things you signed" never "you spent some amount of money we're not sure of - please give it to us" or "all of our customers spent $1million, so let us have your share, whatever you think that may be" as would be the case here.

Yes, the system would fall apart if you disputed every single transaction and made them supply irrefutable evidence you did in fact authorise the transaction - but it doesn't revolve entirely on the trust that people will keep their own account of what they think they spent.
> The democratic, federal west simply cannot compete

And this is why western nations should not allow China unilateral trade freedoms until it's government addresses the human rights of its own citizens. To do so, imperils the progress human rights (esp. workers' rights) within western nations. While China's ability to marshal it's resources in awe-inspiring, I'm certain no average worker/citizen in the west wants their freedoms to go retrograde... until it's too late and it's the only way to get a job.
> That's caused by hardware acceleration ..

Eh, no, this is because of DRM. The DRM that browsers now offer (wtf) allows browser applications to black out themselves if they detect things like screen recording. Not sure exactly how the implementation works (as DRM is generally a black box, on purpose), but it definitely is on purpose and not really related to hardware acceleration.

The API Zoom is using for screen sharing is probably the same API you'd use to record the screen, so when Netflix detects that, they chose to black out the content.

That's a bad example, they got massive fines in the US, not so in germany (for obvious reasons), and yes it was for sure the engineer who took that decision and for sure not the management ;)

The rule concerning citation of primary sources is that secondary sources are preferred, not that primary sources are forbidden.

Unpacking that a little: a reliable secondary source provides interpretation and evaluation. If material in an article is cited to a primary source, then any interpretation and evaluation has to be provided by the wikipedia editor, which amounts to OR. So if all you have is a primary source, the material cited to it is often little more than a quote.
Similar debates exist in all programming languages with algebraic data types. `Either<(), a>` vs. `Maybe a` and stuff. Category-theoretically, they are the same of course. But in non-strict languages `Either<(), a>` allows another opportunity to hide an `undefined`: `Left undefined`.
Well they all require active consent so then letting the timer run out would have to be a right answer on all of them.
