You don't think dying would be worse than living in a capitalist society? Take a few deep breaths and try to get some perspective, because your current position is really disconnected from reality.

In reality, capitalism has produced more stuff for people to use and enjoy than any other system, ever. (I will admit that it may not do as well as we like at spreading that stuff around. But focus on fixing that, not on breaking the system that produces the stuff that so many of us live on.)

>we need to determine exactly why these bat coronaviruses were being studied

Why do we need evidence of why a lab would do research in viruses that is a danger to people in the country? It's pretty self-explanatory. ACE2 isn't specific to SARS-CoV-2 as your own links says.
Just as an aside, growing up in Texas I internalized a dim view of western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma primarily due to cultural reasons. A few years ago my family and I took a vacation to a cabin in the Ouachita Mountains which is just north of this state park and I couldn't believe how beautiful that country is. The Ozarks are the crown jewel of that region but the Ouachita range from western AR to eastern OK is absolutely stunning in its own right. It reminds me of the times I've been to West Virginia, beautiful and remote and, in some ways (good and bad), apart from time and, for me, unfairly written off by my own biases. I felt a little pang of regret that I had lived for so long only 4-5 hours from such a beautiful place and was just only now discovering it.
If it is not inconvenient I would at least call your doctor - there have been cases (involving very high voltage equipment to be sure) where no outward damage was seen but some internal was done.

For normal household circuits I’d just say learn from your mistake.

> Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use Kubernetes." Now they have two problems.

Kubernetes can be a great solution to a set of problems, but it is not automatically that way. My company is in the midst of adding k8s support to a large legacy application and that work has turned into a deep dive into madness in some places. To be fair, we're making it hard on ourselves by supporting both k8s and the legacy environment, but the point stands.

And Helm doesn't help.
Sounds familiar: do first, apologize later.

Yea but you also have to take into account that he's internet famous. Probably the most well known person in the computer repair industry says his shop with 16 people is taking in between 1 and 2 million a year.

So that's somewhere between 62.5k and 125k per employee annually in revenue. He's doing well enough but its not exactly a money printing machine and you would assume a person at the top of his industry is doing significantly better than anyone else could.

I do think its quite possible to make a living doing this in most places, but there's easier ways for people with that level of technical skills to make more money so it remains to be seen how many will choose to do it.

That being said I'm 100% supportive of right to repair and I'm a fan of Louis's content.

This is exactly the argument propaganda in Russia and Belarus brings forward again and again — that it’s bystanders and outsiders that attempt to shame people into violence and grave risk to their lives.

Historically, majority of popular armed revolts were followed by bloodbaths, and years of economic dismay. Falling of Eastern bloc was a major exception, because USSR, the primary sponsor, crumbled itself. And even then there was Yugoslavia.

Dying in the name of freedom is just too much to ask of a normal person. Moving and freeing yourself is a more pragmatic move. Its not that hard to uphold your ethnic identity outside of arbitrarily defined borders, anyway.

Foreign invasion, on the other hand, has a much higher potential to galvanise all sorts of radicalists, as it has done every single time, everywhere.

So, please, be mindful of your call to arms to people in the faraway lands.
Texan here. A couple things:
1) the mask mandate was no longer there, but nearly everyone was still wearing masks anyway
2) the businesses had basically all reopened well prior to this; the "lockdown" phase had ended late in April 2020
3) the number one reason it had little or no impact is that a lot of people had already had it, and a lot of people had been vaccinated

I'm no particular fan of the mask and lockdown policies, because they seemed like the pandemic equivalent of post-9/11 "security theater". But, I don't think you can draw a lot of conclusions from Texas because not much changed after Abbot announced the changes.

They have always been both.
Regulation is presented as one possible solution, with a footnote expressing some uncertainty about that path. I just wanted to add that I think the economics plans laid out by Richard Wolff can do a lot to better align the motives of firms to the motives of the people. Wolff is prolific online so I will not try to argue his case, but I do believe that essentially “make a sizable portion of the economy comprised of worker managed cooperatives” actually would tend to solve some of the problems related to centralization in an open market. Wolff does not generally advocate for government based solutions except for possible legislation that would make it easier for cooperatives to thrive.
I've noticed this kind of thing on other forums too.

Please enlighten me. Ideally, not with a "whataboutism" label, but with a description of why it fits here.
This. It’s always important to assume the decisions made before you were correct, or at least a good approximation to correct given the conditions or knowledge at the time. It’s sort of a generalization of chesterson’s fence. If you don’t know why a decision might have been smart at the time, you will likely make another mistake trying to correct it. It may not always be true but thinking this way can at least keep you honest.
My original comment: "Prediction: this story will get flagged and removed from the front page very soon." got flagged (despite being correct).
Understandable the architecture calling conventions are important - if registers are marked as destroyed you must treat them as such, even if in your code it seems they’re preserved.

Single-stepping debuggers have caused weird side effects in the past (the trap instruction coincidentally keeps a register with a “sane” value and so it’s not noticed that in normal operation it gets scrambled).
How is the parent comment at all relevant? Also, and feel free to think this is unrelated, why are so many having such a hard time understanding the basics of anti trust?
> My guess is less than .01%.

Because it's prohibitively expensive vs the cost of a new device due to the policies being discussed in this thread.

There was a time I could get a screen replaced in a phone for $40-50. Today, Apple literally bricks the device for swapping out a broken button, even if the part is an authentic Apple component. The trend has been getting progressively worse, and while this thread is mostly about Apple it affects far more industries (Farming being a big example).

> And how much could that really be increased if Apple were forced to make their parts accessible and available in the aftermarket?

I'd reckon a pretty high % of people with cracked screens would happily get them repaired if it were not either ludicrously expensive to do so, or if they felt that they could get it done by 'professionals' instead at some random corner store. These shops can't source parts and schematics "legitimately" and the whole process feels very grey market which drives people away.
Also this plane had a MiG-29 on its tail, and I imagine it was well armed. Belarus committed state terrorism and obviously so.
But what do you want to ensure: that grandma only installs malware on her phone via mistakes she is individually responsible for, or that she doesn't install malware on her phone? Maybe for the abstract 'grandma' you would take the first option. But for someone you personally care about, you're not going to choose the option that predictably ends with her being harmed, even if it will be her own fault when it happens.
Dealing with the spammers and deliverability issues alone is enough to deter me, for one, from the business.
Service. This question "is a copy equivalent and trivial to create?" is a pretty good way to understand the line in the sand regarding what stuff is subject to copyright infringement versus theft. We have theft of property and theft of service. We do not have theft of trivially copyable stuff because we have copyright infringement instead for that case.

Paintings, manuscripts, etc. are subject to theft because they are nonfungible. The content itself is subject to copyright because the copies are fungible.

It's definitely a weakness to not expose a vulnerable side of yourself to others. Part of showing someone you trust them is trusting that they will accept you, vulnerabilities and all.
If they were hospitalized with symptoms consistent with COVID - is very relevant, I agree.

But that’s not what this story is about. It’s just about being hospitalized, which means nothing, without any additional data. It’s like running a story that Obama visited Kenya, when birth conspiracy was rampant. It’s something you’d expect from CNN/Foxnews, but not from a reputable journalist organization.
Meh. It's just lipstick on the pig of a tiny lens.
It only takes one to let the virus out.
It's ok to call the variants with the country names because everyone are certain. The origin is not certain so you can't call it with any country names yet. Your logic is flawed.
The problem is that people (in general) always want more than they can afford. Which is why some people making (say) $1million a year struggle because they take on too much debt and have trouble paying down the interest. Millionaires go bankrupt all the time.

> A smart designer of a Decentralized application could see not storing data in a centralized storage, as an advantage because it lets them side step all of these problems.

I agree, and I'd love to see Our Decentralized Future happen -- though I worry that 'smart designer' might end up implying one of the following in practice:

(a) smart enough to stick to a design so limited, in terms of P2P communication, that it'll not be a threat to current Killer Apps.

(b) smart, to the point of omniscience, regarding what a judge may decide is the designer's problem.

> BTCs "final" is just to wait some blocks its never final its just becomes incredibly unlikely to change the longer you wait. This is objectively worse than having a final state and on top of that it requires the history rather than just the last final state.

You can have that type of finality with centralized protocols built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain — Lightning Network being the standout example.

N.B. this issue is nuanced in PoS due to the complete absence of a quantitative fork ranking protocol. The PoW blockchains pow1, pow2, pow3 can be algorithmically ranked according to cumulative hash difficulty unfakeable sans external input (electricity). High difficulty == high certainty. Conversely, the PoS blockchains pos1, pos2, pos3, cannot be compared sans external information/trust. All theoretical finality in PoS is based on trust in central authorities — this type of “finality” is similar to the finality you have in a particular OSS project’s Git history, insofar as the history is dictated by trusted authorities in all cases.

As many commentators have quipped historically, you can build centralized systems on top of decentralized ones, but the reverse isn’t true.

There are _a lot_ of places in Australia that are the same but with gold.

You can pretty much drive an hour of out Sydney or Melbourne to some rivers and turn the soil and make up to minimum wage extracting river gold, but you can't run a motor doing it or use any equipment that is larger than what you can carry.

A lot of independent mining is like that - it's borderline low wage work but with the promise of a lotto ticket sprinkled in to keep you working.

Theft is the wrong word here.

No IP violation is a theft unless it involves "a person intentionally takes personal property of another without permission or consent and with the intent to convert it to the taker's use".

It's a violation of copyright, trademark, trade secrets, counterfeiting or patent, but it is not theft. The usage of the verbiage "theft" started in the late eighties to early nineties as part of a campaign to make intellectual property violation sound more severe than it actually is.

The key difference is that, by depriving another person of their property, you are preventing them from using it, where in intellectual property violations, you are merely gaining use without denying use to the creator.

Their definition seems less strong and different than portrayed in your comment. Below is the definition from the article.

"To clarify what I mean by decentralised: applications whose main purpose is fulfilled as part of a network, where that network is not reliant on any preordained nodes. Decentralised applications are also known as “federated”. There is also a more specific term “distributed”, also known as “peer to peer”. I won’t cover the distinction with the more specific terms because it’s not relevant here. I use the word application in a looser sense, to also cover protocols and specifications."

Evidence has been building for some time that the Ediacaran period was more important than first realized. It looks like many lineages had already formed prior to the Cambrian. If anything, it's furthers the mystery of how all the diverse lineages could have just sprung up in such a short period of time and why is there a dearth of fossils. My own thought is that there is a discontinuity in the fossil record. As to why the fossil record is blank for this period of time, it's hard to say.

I played an online MMORPG called "Anarchy Online" (AO) while in my early twenties, probably for a little bit more than a year. At a dinner with friends, I started talking about the game and why I liked it.

During that discussion, I came to the realization that even if I did absolutely nothing "productive" in the game, I always had access to food, clothes, health services and shelter. Things were organized in a way that I had to work (kill monsters/bad people, harvest, salvage, heal, repair, etc.) to get money or more direct rewards. For example, clothing and homes were standardized and quite basic. I could "work" to actually get access to a better home and good-looking clothes to customize my avatar. Still, I could decide to do nothing, wander around, watch stuff, and still have my "avatar" alive and well. Anarchy Online gives all users access to a set of basic universal services that include shelter, food, education, health, etc.

~700'000 users playing this universe quite intensively on a daily basis (at that time), would you think they just did "nothing" and sat down?

During that same dinner, I became conscious that this could be a reality. I learned later that I was getting introduced to the concept of universal income (UI).

I started reading about it, talking about it around me. I quickly noticed two things:
1. People around me thought (and still think) it's an impossible/unsustainable model, although there is an increasing amount of research supporting it could be sustainable.
2. Most countries / States that tried UI implemented it as a monthly paycheck given to citizens. I honestly tried understanding why people absolutely want to implement this as a paycheck.

In 2020, we voted about universal income in my country. It was widely refused (78% no). Political parties successfully scared "us" into believing that UI would decimate the country's economy and put everybody into unemployment. It worked.

Today, I am still amazed that I have to work to get money to pay for the most basic things I need to stay alive. I do not think I should get a "paycheck" to get food and shelter. I am not sure the game taught me something that is actually possible, but it showed me an alternate model of society, which I still often think about and do not see as "impossible".
