> I also totally agree that the best way to combat so-called bad ideas is to talk about them and debate them, not deplatform

I would like it to be that way. However, I've seen over the last 10 years (at least in Germany) that it just does not seem to work. Deplatforming at least limits the ability of extremists to reach more people, even though it seems to make the people already in that corner to become even more radical.

> as if you're so smart to know what's good or bad for people, and the people themselves are too stupid and will be easily manipulated and believe a bad idea.

Well we are stupid and we are easily manipulated, unfortunately. And that's why as a society could (and imo should) decide that we won't expose ourselves to certain kinds of propaganda. This is not a random process of censoring people we don't like - this has to do with legislation and courts enforcing those laws.

Reconsider this. This is a 1 man regime, possibly 2-3-4 men regime.

Do you want to keep running after gazillions of their bank accounts in Switzerland, and hope they run out of money, or kill the man who holds passwords for, probably, at least half of money for the regime?

And look at Norko... There are latest RolceRoyces on streets of Pyongyang.
Server PSUs support such communication (looks like this is PMBus protocol, variation of SMBus, which is variation of I²C). In servers it's connected to the BCM and usually allows to read input and output power, FAN speed, temperatures and status (good/bad). The BCM often records historical data, including peak power (in last 1h, 24h), etc.

After quick searching is looks there are people reading this info with a MCU [1]. But I think it would be hard to find such PSU in ATX form factor.

They plug in via an edge connector straight into the mother board, or sometimes into a separate board that connects to the mother board.

Bad actors would probably start using it against competitors just like the fake 5 star review attacks. It's really interesting how seller competition evolves, anything that can be used to punish a bad seller ends up being used as a way to frame a competitor.

Facebook makes it easier, but it is not like friends did not keep in touch before Facebook. I regularly send SMS/ email friends I make it point to spend writing and replying to mails regularly.

Sure, occasionally people get frustrated that you are not on these platforms, however I ended up being lot more responsive and attentive to non social media forms of communication. Social media is usually low effort, I rather have one person wishing me with personal email on my birthday, rather than hundreds of meaningless FB posts.

It was actually harder for business contacts than personal, customers want to chat in whatever works for them, harder to say no to someone paying you. However Teams/Slack has helped a lot and dose of compliance reasons which customers find easier to go along with.
The Cavendish banana is a common and well known example of this.
I dunno, that seems a little unfair. I’m not saying empty interfaces aren’t a problem just because I’ve managed to avoid them, I’m just saying it is quite possible to write reasonable Go by knowing what language features are misfeatures. Obviously if you’re often running across and having to deal with code laden with empty interfaces, that’s a major problem and put in that situation, I’d probably have the impression that the language encourages bad behavior. I’m just saying that so far, I haven’t encountered it all that much so I don’t really perceive it as a problem. If you want to paraphrase this as “works for me,” so be it, but it seems like a particularly uncharitable interpretation.

I do think it’s a crime that the standard library contains some empty interfaces in critical packages that seem egregious. The fact that you can accidentally pass an rsa.PublicKey (instead of a pointer to an rsa.PublicKey) to a function that takes a crypto.PublicKey interface and not find out until runtime is hard to forgive.

Anyway, I’m not just saying “works for me” but I am saying that I’m not going to let what dumb things someone else might do with the language change my enjoyment of it. This view is likely influenced by the fact that my particular projects aren’t allowed to pull in 3rd party dependencies without a thorough review, so the problem of dependency fan-out that may pull in some unfortunate code is reduced significantly.
Yes and I'm certain they have extensively planned for the consequences before they went all overboard with it. It looks now that crypto wasn't taken into account to the extend that perhaps it should have been.
The OP (me) explicitly pointed out that self-referential systems can work, for a while. The problem is that there's no way to resolve hard forks.

You (and Vitalik, in that "Nothing At Stake" paper) seem to assume there will never be a hard fork. That's proven wrong by history; hard forks are common. In fact, in the ETC/ETH fork, it was _ETH_ that got a major code change.

PoS, by definition, does not provide any way to resolve hard forks that split "stake". After the fork, both chains can appear perfectly consistent with a majority of stakers (in that split) voting "remain".
I’m not an EU expert so hopefully someone can correct me if I’m wrong. But I think the USA-EU comparisons are superficial at best. The EU has half the states the USA does but 50% more population.

Unlike the USA—which has a really strong executive branch—there is hardly any executive branch in the EU. Instead the executive powers are held almost entirely by the member states. The EU does have a legislative branch (just like the USA) with around 650,000 people per representative. USA has around 750,000 but that number is further devalued by the USA senate (3,500,000 people per representative) which can hold a lot of power over the congress. I’m not aware that the EU has any equivalent.

The scope of the two systems is also vastly different. The USA federal government represents the foreign policy of each of the state, funds a military which answers to the government, finances much of the infrastructure within the USA, etc. In the EU foreign policy is largely held by the member states, there is no EU military, and funding for infrastructure projects is more likely to come mostly from the member state it self, then from the EU. The USA collects federal taxes, while the EU gets their funding from the member states.

Both have a federated court system. The USA have federal criminal courts which I’m not sure that the EU has, or at least not in the same way the USA does.

To summarize: The US federal government and the EU have in common that they both have a democratically elected legislator (both with relatively low representation) and they both have a federal court system. But this is where the similarities end.

> "Batteries in most german cars are also deliberately placed under major engine components"

Source? I used to own a 2000 Audi S4 (bought in 2005), and the battery was easy to access and didn't take much labor to to replace. I now own and drive a 2006 Mercedes-Benz C55 AMG that I bought in 2009. One of the very few issues that the car has had was a parasitic battery drain, which went unnoticed for a long time, until I started a new job in which I was able to work from home, and, therefore, I didn't drive the car very often during that time span of around 4 years. Before I eventually determined what the problem was (the passenger power seat control module continued to draw current when the car was turned off), I had to replace the battery ~7 times (which usually didn't cost me anything since the since the batteries were still under warranty when they finally went dead). The battery in my car is very easy to access (it's not located under any major engine components) and is also very easy to remove, requiring little more than a socket wrench and no more than 15 minutes of labor.
Or just short out the capacitor terminals with a metal object like the screwdriver and you're fine. But still, if you don't do that and you get chocked it will just be a little painful jolt.

More than old, it is low-end OEM power supply. Even back in 2005 we already had stuff like 80 Plus ratings, active PFC, universal input, 600+ W output ratings etc.
Soviet influence it is. Lukasenko was a party boss in USSR

Putin was KGB mafia boy.

Kravcuk, and Kucma were party bosses of state enterprises.

Aliyevs were KGB men

Shevardnaze was USSR's foreign minister

The whole of Central Asia is basically ruled by exactly the same Moscow's satraps since late eighties, with exception of wild tempered Kyrgyzstan.

Mongolia, "the 16th republic," also had communist comeback, only ended by an extreme, Norko style economic collapse.

The only country of ex-USSR where CPSU did not recapture the power outside of Baltics was Armenia, but only thanks to power going to their nazis. A medicine worse than the poison.

There is no real difference, it's just that both of them pissed off powerful people while trying to do what is moral.
From the videos I’ve seen there are very few where he doesn’t come off as insufferable. My favourite one is when he starts trashing the Genius Bar for not being able to diagnose an issue with a specific component on the motherboard like he does, and instead they recommend replacing the whole board. I don’t think Dell/HP/Lenovo support is going to bother inspecting a mobo with a microscope and checking voltage levels either.
It's clear that any change to the equilibrium would have winners and losers.

We can scope out who those are likely to be: free applications which provide some useful educational service would lose; currently they provide no revenue (beyond the token developer fee). Banking, rewards, credit, etc. applications (applications which interface consumers with their pre-existing accounts for CRUD-style management purposes) would lose. They provide no revenue. Subscription products with very low conversion rates would lose if their free:pay user ratio exceeds, say, 10:1 -- or some other breakeven point with respect to money saved by ditching Apple's payment stuff.

It would also hurt applications like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram where the product is completely free and monetized by advertising Apple currently doesn't take a cut of.

It's clear the winners are mostly extremely popular multi-billion dollar applications where the app portion is a pretty thin layer and they charge all or most users to subscribe on an ongoing basis. Fortnite doesn't exactly have a subscription, but it relies on fairly frequent impulse purchases and monetization of free users.

I don't think it's straightforward to imagine the world would be better or worse if the basis for billing changed to something like cost basis.

My overwhelming reaction to this trial is that it seems like both sides have fairly good reasons to prefer things the way they prefer things, but it's not clear to me why a court should essentially vacate a particular business model or contract. When courts intervene to strike broad classes of contract provisions (for example, to allow or disallow mandatory arbitration provisions), typically it's because there's an obvious public interest. Here the interests seem private on both sides, and it doesn't seem obvious to me that end consumers will either be harmed or helped by what's being asked for. Which seems like the kind of territory courts traditionally run away from.
You can self-host GitLab and GitLab CI. Those are nicely integrated and a smooth UI. Well supported and ongoing development and improvement.
Honest request: re-do Short Circuit so the “Indian” character played by a white guy just looks and speaks more like a white guy. I tried watching that movie for fun but the blackface or whatever you would call it really tanked it for me.

Also in your promo video you show “traditional dubbing” to English and I really expected that to be followed by your system on the same clip but instead you moved to other languages, which I can’t really grasp.

Edit: I see I’ve gotten a downvote. You can hear from the actor himself how he feels about playing that role:

That might apply to very complex, high reliability systems like those in the military. But a battery is very basic and it's a consumable more than a modularize-able component like an engine or turbo. I think batteries are easily replaceable in most military equipment.

Consumables in the very least should be replaceable for consumer products, or the price for its replacement capped, otherwise we're throwing away electronics that hasn't reached even a third of its lifetime just because the battery's lifetime is over, it's like buying a new car everytime the tires are worn out. It's an incredible waste of resources.

Same thing for connectors like USB, audio jack, buttons and joysticks.

Most egregious is the chip signature-checking and exclusive buyer rights on same chip, that should be outlawed, heavily fined and easily reported and checked. It's like adding a chip with a serial number for each tire and if you install one not from your car manufacturer then your car refuses to move. It's just a scam.
It was a real learning experience moving from ideal transistors to real MOSFETs in an H-bridge driving a motor. Gate capacitance led to lots of expensive smokefests.

To "see exactly what's going on", you would need to be sure of what's happening on the server, and I don't know how to do that for sure except for the blockchain.

Meanwhile, here in the real world, let's stick to the better one of the bad choices we have.
Except physical distribution is expensive by its nature. It involves producing and moving around physical objects — that's material and labor per copy.

App store, on the other hand, is a digital distributor. Making a digital copy is so cheap it could as well be free. And even then, not all app developers publish on the app store because they want or need its distribution services. There are many developers who would happily arrange the distribution of their apps themselves, with their own infrastructure they already have anyway, but they have to publish on the app store because that's the only way onto millions of iOS devices.

I'll say it again: it should not be legal for a hardware manufacturer to retain any kind of control over hardware after it's been sold.
Sometimes a foreign force will overthrow your elected government, because they want your oil, appoint a dictator instead and provide him with support in exchange for military interest. After decades, he is ousted, foreign relations are understandably sour and your neighbor decides to invade, so the powers provide support lest he be defeated and you are pronounced a country non-grata.

More to the point, it shouldn't be the or a country that appoints leaders. They should be appointed by the people, but for various reasons it has a rather poor success rate.
The new Google docs uses a canvas. The feature is not rolled out fully yet but there is a demo document attached to the announcement. The canvas demo document is fully selectable, it feels native. I assume it works as you described, so it's possible to make it feel right, with enough effort to detail.
The most disturbing thing about this bug is that an RTC which can count days of the month and even leap years correctly is not at all new leading-edge technology. The pattern is simple enough that you can write a single expression to calculate it, which could be compiled down to a similarly compact arrangement of gates, but I'm guessing someone went the "lame" way with an array of entries -- and typo'd the November entry. Then no one noticed nor tested until it was far too late.

With the exception of February and an inversion after July, the pattern alternates binarily between 30 and 31. Thus, assuming zero-based months,

days = 30 + ((m+1 & 1) ^ (m > 6)) - (2 - isleap) * (m == 1);

And in which case, I would say this requirement, in practice, wasn't a requirement. I don't blame Hungary and Poland for gaming the system as much as I blame the EU for having this loophole (or feature, or necessary evil, depending on view).
Although, the EU is a lot stronger than the Articles of Confederation ever were, given that the EU has sorted out how it gets funded from year to year.
Who the hell needs an OS or a device that can't run third party apps? Their devices are nothing without those. Those frameworks aren't optional frills for the sake for developers' benefit, they're basic functionality that end users already paid hundreds or thousands of dollars for. End users paying is how it always worked on desktop too before they spread this monopolistic poison there too.

It's amazing how far people will go to justify a monopoly squeezing everyone it deals with just because they have a good brand and make nice products.
EU states have no problem signing big deals with Russia, who performs even more questionable moves. Belarus won't feel a thing.
Even Legal Eagle has had a lot of political clickbait of late, especially with his shorts. He'll talk about the riots, or matt gaetz or whatever, but the format is too short to allow any analysis, and his longer videos have a lot of "reacts" type content. Leonard French/Lawful Masses is the other extreme though, where he tends to just go through entire legal documents and splice in the relevant background occasionally.

A few years ago when making a micro transaction app, PayPal only allowed one type of fee structure — either the 5% or the 2.9%.

Meaning you couldn’t segregate low tickets from high tickets and get the most optimal fee - your whole merchant account was one fee or the other.

This would be true if they listed "alternative store_s_", but what they actually did is add itch.io to their store in a token way once they started the lawsuit in order to say "Look, we have no problem working with other stores". It's a stunt for the lawsuit. Even the Itch founder who signed the deal said they basically found it bemusing and an effort to gain legal leverage without really doing anything else.

It'd be like if Apple took all of the developers who testified against Apple, reduced their commission to 0% in perpetuity, and then asked the judge to throw out their testimony because the complaints were moot.

(That being said, I do think there are conditions where stores would/should allow other stores, and I think those conditions could be more permissive than the Roblox example. Apple should, medium term, resolve the GeForce Now/XCloud objections.)
I have worked a few places where customer credit card information was kept in spreadsheets or other open databases. At the scale of an app developer who has trouble affording a $99 developer account spending money on securing customer information is a virtual non starter. Also third party interfaces you may attempt to use are often purchased and repurposed.

There are huge numbers of dark pattern companies who thrive on the ability to thwart subscription cancellation and the Apple method can at least be googled.

I have not seen any platform which has resolved the fake review problem through incentives and many that are far worse.

> noting is the intrinsic incoherency of the "left-right" divide. Gabbard is an economic populist who makes calculated appeals to the white working class. She's a purer incarnation of what Trump represented in 2016, and nobody felt Trump was to the left of even Hillary Clinton.

Trump didn’t support universal healthcare, have an F rating from the NRA, etc.

> What gives away the game is that you only hear spirited defenses of Gabbard from right-libertarians. Gabbard is herself a marginal political figure and the fact that we discuss her at all is itself an indication that something is wrong.

I don’t know anything about “right libertarians.” I was curious about Gabbard because she was the only one besides Klobuchar who sounded like she wasn’t reading from some memo everyone got. I also have no idea why the Democratic Party functionaries hate her so much.

The occasional heterodox take she has, “we shouldn’t be racist against white people” or “maybe safe, legal, and rare was a good position,” are not controversial.

I was trying to summarize, for an employee who got caught in “Elon Musk shouldn’t have manipulated the BTC” (!) (obviously the employee lost 25% of his savings), I was trying to summarize the list of dangers of having savings in BTC.

- Laws of any big country could change and trigger the sale for a lot of sellers of a country,

- Especially given BTC is used by Iran to bypass petrol restrictions, used by ransomware and all sort of dealers, as well as Chinese who want to flee,

- Currencies are in theory regalian = only emitted by the central bank;

- Once any country gets upset with this, they could blame terrorism on BTC and ask owners to prove their origin of wealth, which would be a major hurdle if the law was strict.

I’m adding this to the list. Volatility is desired because “you can make it big”, but the rest is only dangers.
