Very few countries other then the us and Canada actually maintain a blue/green water coast guard i.e. a lot of navies around the world does a lot of law enforcement doing peace time. This is the case for most European nations where almost anything bigger then a launch is classed as a navel vessel and potentially armed.

And then there is the oddities like japan who theoretically do not have an navy but who's cost guard(or self defense force) operate carriers.
I appreciate the information. I did not have an opinion on the matter until you provided context that the subsidies were specifically for StarLink.
This is one area where there are technological solutions to people problems. Namely, that currently an iOS device needs to be fully unlocked to be services but realistically there should be something between "service access" and "full unrestricted access to a customer's PII and app state."

Keep in mind that in iOS root is rarely available, so even when servicing devices they're manipulating the OS via a restricted service interface that can only perform certain actions (e.g. wipe, re-flash, test different components, etc).

I cannot access the original article, but I am hoping criminal charges were also utilized as this is unlawful in many states (and frankly should be national).

Shiny title with the actual typing speed so well hidden.
> Paul Alcorn of Tom's Hardware argued that Backblaze used the drives in a manner that "far exceeded the warranty conditions" and questioned the "technical merits" of the lawsuit.

I would question this. Backblaze knows what they're doing. And at least they provide a relative reliability index as they treat all drives the same.
Cant edit on phone but we can also consider the size of the drives. We can only guesstimate what sizes the NSA wanted but to your source we can say they needed 12 EB. Out of 150 million drives, there might not have been 4 million 3TB drives out there, this was 2014, maybe there was but they didn't want all the exact same drive, if you calculate that some of the drives are 2TB or 1TB the estimated numbers only get larger. I think it's totally reasonable that a single order of 12,000,000TB to a single location in Utah could grind the widespread consumer market to a halt for a bit, especially if they're almost all made in one place, which it seems most of this discussion is taking for granted.

It looks like you've picked only the most favorable statistics and ignored everything else in formulating your opinion/response.

> somebody who needs to service our day-to-day needs and wants

What I think this discussion often overlooks is the large class of people - a third of society and rising, in the West - who aren't working and instead have their needs and wants serviced by other people because they are retired.

Now, obviously retirement isn't a hard cutoff, and retirement in general is getting later, but more and more work will be done in future for the retired rather than by themselves directly. A lot of this is currently done unpaid by their family members.

The other distortion here is that retired people are more likely to be property owners.
> It's using 160mb of ram

> This feels like an expression of the "just world" fallacy[1]. It's entirely possible that many of the people stuck in 50hr/week jobs did all of the things you list but didn't get the lucky breaks Tim did and so are still working 50hrs a week.

Saying I'm expressing the just-world fantasy implies I'm casting judgement on people or somehow saying they deserve to suffer in miserable jobs because they made bad choices. I don't think that's what I said at all. Recognizing the reality that everyone has a role (that they may not be aware of) in deciding what to do next is not a moral judgement.

Entrepreneurship and becoming wealthy are not requirements to be intentional about work and having a fulfilling life. As an example, my sister is a single mom with an autistic child who worked in fast food for years and of course hated it. She realized she would be much happier if she could work in a healthcare field because she wanted work that made more of a difference to peoples lives. So she busted her ass and took student loans for night classes, and today she's successful as a nurse working every day in an operating room. For her, self-awareness of her desires led to goals and actions led to a much better outcome.

> Consider an alternative reality where everybody read 4HWW, took that advice to heart and proceeded to apply it to their life. Would everyone be working 4hrs/week or would you still need some people to work those 40hr/wk jobs that keep the world running?

I don't think it's necessary for everyone to achieve the same outcome for something to be a good idea.

If you read the book you would know it's not really about working 4hrs/wk but rather about freeing yourself up to pursue work you find fulfilling. I think many more people could do that if they knew it was an option, but I don't think everyone would achieve that. Entrepreneurship is risky and difficult, and many people prefer a more predictable path.
So if we followed this logic, and reversed everything that wasn’t 100% perfect, so you realize how far back in human history we’d be propelling ourselves? There is not a single gov program, law, corp, anything on this planet that is perfect, except maybe the planet itself.
The author is also probably used to driving with tens of minutes of latency. I would guess the current Mars driving experience is more of a planning experience, where an unexpected obstacle ruins the plan and creates an hour of delay from replanning and recommunicating. Whereas a human driver on site would have just steered slightly to the left and not thought twice about it.
The Cost of Being an ‘Interchangeable Asian’
The motivation of the speaker is to point out that what Tim is espousing is essentially unachievable unless you have a whole bunch of startup capital.

This is patently false, so many example case studies online and in the revised addition showing how someone was able to implement a 4WW lifestyle. Again it’s not about hitting 4 hours a week specifically, it’s simply a mindset (create systems to support your lifestyle, instead of having your business take over your life).

It also points out that achieve the four hour week, you need to exploit people, either directly or indirectly.

If I hire a virtual assistant to assist me in my tasks, am I “exploiting” them, or creating job opportunities? Sure I capture the value surplus that they create, but they get a steady salary and take on less risk than the business owner.
There should also be audit logs recorded by the device and sent to the user's Apple account. So you can see which apps, screens, and data a service person used. This is a routine ask from companies to cloud providers, for example.

Excellent article, well worth reading. Dieter Bohn makes a strong case for using the term "carrier" to characterize Apple's so-called walled garden. His argument applies mainly to the iPhone, but it could be extended to cover other areas as well.
Is chrome still automatically uploading any saved credit card information from the browser to your google account, and automatically putting test charges on those cards? Without warning?
Ok fine, then only require established businesses, like Amazon, Google, Home Depot, Wallmart, non-union construction (which might be the worse jobs in America), etc. to treat employees with better working conditions.

The struggling start-ups are left out of the experiment. I do understand the risks of new entrepreneurs. I'm perfectly fine with giving them a lot of leeway.

We could use profit off 1040's to determine which companies need to improve working conditions?

It is called a mid-life crisis in popular culture. Many people do get bored and switch to a new job track once or twice in their life. They in general do worse overall monetarily (there are other factors that might be important) than someone who focuses, but it isn't unheard of to do this.

If your single source of income is a good choice, the experience of doing it for years makes you much better at it than a jack-of-all-trades who can do anything but none of them well.

I don't understand why they need to unlock the phone for hardware repairs. I took my Toshiba laptop for a motherboard replacement after a power surge, and never provided my password.

Absolutely! Spending policies are often sold as cost cutting policies (spend $1 to get back $1.15).

It can get even more complicated when your new policy leads to large projects, many large, multi-year projects have certain assumptions baked into them which can turn out to be wrong. Years ago I was a minor participant in a root cause analysis for a government program that lasted 10 years and went way over budget. Our biggest finding was that the assumptions made when budgeting this project turned out to be incorrect and far too optimistic. These assumptions were actually fairly reasonable at the time they were made though.

Studies have shown that poverty may be reduced by capital investment.

Ours was Western Digital. I worked at a VAR before the turn of the century and there was a rumored clean room problem at WD. We had over a hundred drives that failed but they flat refused to acknowledge the problem.

Ended up having to kill the drives on a dedicated rig and send them back to keep our customers from having issues. They knew they were bad but refused to accept them back prior to failure. For a while they were returning a failing drive on the RMA too.

I've tried to use Darktable as replacement, and there's no comparison in terms of UX and functionality (within the specific use case that Lightroom is intended for).

I had a problem of applying patches to the files that got indented differently meantime.

So I wrote a tool that takes a context diff, rebuilds the before and after text, then parses both as vectors of (leading whitespaces, token), then creates a diff of those vectors ignoring the whitespaces, parses the target file as a similar vector, and applies this diff to such a vector (again with ignoring/copying whitespaces) - after which it reconstructs the text.

The results are surprisingly robust, despite the relatively naive tokenization heuristic.

I've used a lot of systems/libraries/etc. which claim to be "simple", but are really anything but. In many cases, "simple" equals to "primitive", which means that as soon as I move beyond the five-line example from the README I'm very likely to stumble upon a problem which will easily take a couple of days of furious googling, code-reading and issue-creating to get around.

I don't think it's insulting my competence, it's just that "simple" is a sign that the original developer is not aware of the complexity (SNMP, anyone?) and hence it's now a trigger word for "prepare to be miserable for a while". And I don't like to feel miserable while dissecting something someone called "simple".

Actually the propaganda is that China is just a capitalist democratic country that is no longer socialist.

From the article:

China is very very interested in progressing the socialist and finally communist agenda. Believing otherwise is ignorance.

Show me the equivalent of the 5th amendment in Chinese law protecting private property rights. And please don’t forget... Chinese courts do not have the power of judicial review and cannot invalidate a statute on the grounds that it violates the constitution... ie China is a totalitarian system.

Agreed. I've not used it much, but I've done some fun things with it - mostly relating to adding linting checks for pipelines.

For example we use troposphere to generate cloudformation templates, so I wrote a linter which would ensure that every time we tried to create an elastic container registry on AWS we explicitly setup "security scanning" to be "on".

That kind of thing is trivial to write when you have the AST to manipulate:

* Find all calls to function "foo(...)".

* Error out if there is is no parameter "scan_on_push = True".
I've actively resisted open sourcing some things I've written at work - including stuff that I'm sure others would like - precisely because of fears that it would be a career-limiting move. For my employer, these libraries are only valuable to the extent that they help us build things for which we can charge money. An open source library would not be one of those things, but it would take time (and therefore company money) to maintain such a thing. So putting myself in a position to be maintaining open source software on company time has the potential to greatly reduce my value to the company.
