I saw this coming even before the acquisition. While Red Hat did help fund some excellent open source work, usually through acquisitions, they would never have been my first choice for partner support. Red hat is for companies that have no clue what they are doing and caters to executive management who wants their name in marketing so they can talk about how they helped make the company more successful so they can find a higher paying executive role at another large enterprise. Once a company has some descent Linux engineers and developers, they then switch to CentOS, Ubuntu, or some lighter weight distro. At that point, if you continue to engage with Red Hat, usually because some executive is getting kickbacks and has signed multi-year contracts, you just end up doing all the work yourself realizing that a lot of your problems are caused by Red Hat and that you'd be better off with another distro entirely.

When you say, "creating benevolent billionaires", who or what do you think is doing the creating?
You’re right. What we really need is GitHub for cops. Let’s see their “contributions.” Court records are almost always open. I’d like to see for any given cop, every case in which they were the arresting officer in an easily searchable format. Even better if it exposes suspect demographic information and charges.
I love living in cyberpunk already.

That defense would apply if Police didn't have special privileges, but they do. Many locales have attempted to make things like filming police officers in public illegal
Could you record a clip of the sound?
I lived in a state where the median salary for cops was over $108k before overtime, benefits and bonuses. Many cops made over $250k+ a year with overtime. Some of them retire after 20 years with $250k a year pensions that municipalities are liable for.
> the contrast is stronger

That's mathematically impossible.
There are a lot of places in the US where the chief of police is the highest paid employee on a municipality's payroll.
" Significantly smaller services like Reddit, with only about 430 million users, do a much better job these days (at least since 2020, when Reddit abandoned its naive commitment to radical free speech and encouraged strong community content-moderation techniques, banning some major subreddits that encouraged hatred)."

Never read Wired seriously. They are not your friend. They do not have your interests in mind.

This whole article is talking past the sale. What if regulating DOESN'T fail, mmm? What then? And why is Wired so eager to get us to imagine a world where it does?

Everyone said anti-trust and other actions against tech monopolies were impossible, never gonna happen. Then enough people got pissed off, politicians smelled an opportunity, and suddenly there were lawsuits and talk of serious legislation.

Everything's impossible until it isn't. There's a whole hell of a lot still in the pipe for Facebook and their ilk. Let's see where it goes. And if it isn't enough, I suspect people will continue to get angry, and that anger will find another outlet. You can make enemies. You can even make a lot of enemies. But you can't make enemies of nearly everyone. Sooner or later that kind of behavior has consequences.

Not to miss the 2nd part of the video. Chinese threat is not about china. But the censorship of deliberation. May be the lab theory is wrong. But not allow to talk and discuss about it … that is how learn from the current 7 million social experiment of transforming a liberal society here in Hong Kong to one sanctioned. Good luck USA. It is so ingrained in USA can you save yourselves. Good luck humanity.

It is not just about a lab leak. It is the deliberation and freedom of expression that is more than important. Good luck.

Humanity has lost. It might come back. After losing hundred years perhaps. But why we do not wake up and start to rebuild a better open environment … so we can be safe later.
> Taxing IP is taxing the discoveries and the works of a person

False. "IP" is the right to exclude other people from using such work.
Okay. But this is still an actual congressional testimony for public consumption by our elected officials. By what reasoning should we not be allowed to see it?

I can’t agree. There are many interactions in which payment is expected, and, if not provided, you will be threatened with force. I.e., eating at a restaurant.

A lot of people decided, before you were born, that people living in your location would pay taxes. You or your parents chose for you to be subject to those rules when you moved there or were born. By continuing to live there, you subjected yourself to those rules. If you don’t agree, you can move somewhere else. However, part of those rules means you may have to give up something you value in exchange—citizenship, the right to vote on the rules, property, exit taxes, etc.

Unfortunately for you, there is no desirable place on this planet that doesn’t follow this “our land, our rules” approach. Most of them are very picky about who can be citizens. Luckily for you, you’re one of the privileged few who gets to live in one of the good places. (I presume, since you’re commenting here.)

You call taxes theft. I call NOT paying taxes theft—taking from the common good we and generations before us have all worked to establish.

Kaseya RMM software hit by cyberattack
I understand the frustration (making neovim more cohesive is definitely a goal). It sounds like coc provides the UI you are used to, so there's no harm in sticking with that!

Many of our users explicitly don't want automatically called functions that would slow down the editor (autocommands that map signature requests to the language server, for example), so by nature neovim's core implementation is extremely conservative.

One thing I would like to do, is make the automatic pop-ups for signature easier to implement with our current handler, which means a plugin like signature-x could use our upcoming lsp.config option to configure it's borders (https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/14681), and match the rest of the UI.

I also have another project I was working on before the 0.5 stabilization phase (https://github.com/mjlbach/neovim-ui). The goal with this is to have composable/overridable UI elements built into core (which we would use for our internal lsp functions), that can be used (or overridden) by UI plugins.

In summary, I think the likelihood of autocompletion (and generally auto-anything) being built-into core is very small, but providing the APIs in neovim core to make snippets - autocompletion - automated UI elements easier for plugin authors is a high priority.
I understand the desire to make the OS look more consistent, but in my opinion the BSOD should remain blue. It makes it rapidly obvious that something has gone wrong, and anyone who has experienced one before should immediately know there was an issue and they need to reboot.

Now the BSOD is black to match the boot and login screens. In a room full of black login screens (maybe a lab or library) it won't be as obvious that one of them is down.

With Windows being a champion of backwards compat, it would have been nice to see the BSOD continue on has it has for decades. I kinda liked the nice refresh it got in later versions of Windows, and at least it was still blue.
Especially religion and politics.
I see what this is trying to do, but I'm not sure what the creators think this is going to achieve. Many if not most police interactions are going to leave someone unhappy; it is the nature of policing. Either an innocent party is confronted, a criminal is caught, or a victim does not receive justice. As we know, unhappy people are more likely to leave a review than happy ones, so if this site is actually used by people, most cops regardless of behavior will end up with poor ratings. There will also inevitably be heavy brigading whenever there is a controversy.

As these ratings have no bearing on whether police keep their jobs, whether a civilian interacts with a given cop, whether a given cop is promoted, or anything else, all this really does is serve as a platform to shit talk the police. Now, there are definitely some police who deserve to be called out for inappropriate behavior, but doing it on the internet really won't do any good.
It’s illegal to record without consent in some states. Posting such a recording is problematic because it’s evidence of a crime, not a crime in and of itself. If it were, there would be cases of journalists posting transcripts from illegally recorded conversations, which isn’t happening.

This is genuinely unsettling. I wonder if this will need to be extinguished by using explosives, as the scale of the fire looks certain to overwhelm the capacity of the pumps on those ships.

Please read the original post I responded to. It explicitly mentions hourly wage which is the only reason I mentioned it at all. I thought their estimate seemed a little high.

Thank you for stating your premise, I didn't find it clear in your earlier posts. I don't have strong opinions about how much is enough to bribe someone who makes X as I am not aware of any good sources of data that deal with this question. Maybe a table of attempted bribes with metadata. I'll run some experiments and get back to you.

"Starting a business is like having a licence to print money." Nope. Running a business is not for people who don't know what they're doing.

Give yourself time for enjoyment. It doesn't have to cost anything.

With recent news of heat and wildfire in the Pacific Northwest, I'd looked using the Nullschool Earth weather visualiser for similar signs elsewhere. The submitted article is one of the few mentions of this year's Siberian forest fires I can find. (The fires have become something of an annual occurrence.)

The Yakutia region of Siberia is under a staggering amount of wildfire. The fires seem to have been burning since May, though by both particulate and CO channels at Nullschool, have exploded in size and intensity in just the past 48 hours or so (that would be after the dateline of this article).

Several videos on the article show conditions on the ground.

I'm linking two snapshots of current conditions as noted by Nullschool, showing smoke and more specific combustion channels.

Particulate channel, shows the location generally of smoke. I’ve selected the PM1 rather than PM2.5 channel as the latter is somewhat noisier, though it’s generally what’s used for smoke tracking. Both are fine particulate matter.

https://earth.nullschool.net/#2021/07/02/2200Z/particulates/...

CO channel, where carbon monoxide is a much more specific indication of where there is current combustion. These signal regions themselves are immense. My eyeball estimate is that the fires cover a region roughly the size of the state of Oregon.

https://earth.nullschool.net/#2021/07/02/2200Z/chem/surface/...

It's possible to select SO2 and NO2 channels as well, both of which also tend to indicate current combustion, though with specificity intermediate between CO and PM1.

The region on Google Maps:

The problem is that the information is in an opaque encoding that nobody can reverse engineer today. So it's impossible to prove that a certain subset of data has been removed from the model.

Say, you have a model that repeats certain PII when prompted in a way that I figure out. I show you the prompt, you retrain the model to give a different, non-offensive answer. But now I go and alter the prompt and the same PII reappears. What now?
Lol, how does that make any sense? I mean, all these word blacklists are always pretty stupid, but at least you can usually see the motivation behind them. But in this case I'm not even sure what they tried to achieve, this is absolutely pointless.
Yes, if you value stock price over consequences for the rest of the world, having a psychopath as CEO seems like a fitting choice.
This was an extremely entertaining story. Thank you for sharing it... It also makes me want to try and make yogurt. I grew up on a cattle ranch and we always had a milk cow. Yet, we never made yogurt more than a few times. I recently moved back near where I grew up as I got the opportunity for remote work. I have access to tons of fresh milk and fruit, I will definitely have to try this again.
There was a cop in one state who was caught taking $20 and $50 bribes from people. He was making over $200k a year.

Yes, but the compute costs required for training are probably in the range of hundreds of thousands of usd to potentially millions of usd. Not to mention potentially months of training time.

In a way that's great: it will be lightning fast compared to running on the original hardware (many orders of magnitude) and it won't be affected by all the bloat that they didn't tack on during the last 30 years.
"I do mind putting more money into a broken system."

That's the problem with Obamacare. It just pumped more money into a corrupt system. The result is that premiums are going up like crazy.

For the same reason I am against cancellation of student debt. If we don't stop the increases in tuition we are just shoveling money to corrupt institutions.
The cost associated with having patients potentially switch to a cheaper hospital could be >$9000/month, at least if the data becomes more accessible. For hospitals that charge exorbitantly high rates, it might actually be worth it to pay the fine.

In an effort to silence legitimate criticism of a totalitarian regime, you are making the assertion that comparing a country to its neighbors is racist. Amazing.
I like the idea but you should consider offering something more than just the Roundcube. If I pay for an email service I expect a better webmail and Android/iOS apps. MXroute offers all of this and I don't see a reason why I should migrate. Best of luck anyway!
Yes .. but. Canada is often pointed at by Americans as an example of a functioning healthcare system. I can tell you we have many problems, but they are different. It might mean long queues for basic diagnostics/assessments/procedures, facilities that look ugly, excessive waits in the ER, and still paying an arm and a leg for medication. I have heard of great experiences in Canada but also pretty terrible ones.
You described how feudal societies came to exist.
"You are likelier to support taxes and condo fees to assist others, since you yourself are not stagnating or moving down the ladder."

It depends, but I generally agree. I would say the mentality should be that it benefits the community and not necessarily any one person.

"The other people on the other side of town who are poorer, for various reasons, simply will not get a park."

I don't think you understand just how small most small towns are. Many times there's only one park. If it is tribal at all, there tends to be only one tribe (or there are personal issues).

"we’ll raise money for our neighborhood park, but of course they have money since their ancestors got there first (or maybe worked harder?) and passed down their land or whatever other structural advantages."

The current generation (and previous one or two) are worse off than before. The mines and mills have shut down. The vast majority of the factories have been offshored. The industries that have replaced them, like tech, have mostly consolidated in just a handful of large cities. Most have little to no money.

The land you talk about is really a negative point. The family farms generally get divided when handed down. Or they simply are too small by today's standards. They get consolidated by corporations. The land in these areas isn't worth very much either ($500-1000 per acre).

So what assets they get handed down are diluted, and aren't worth much in the market (even depreciated). The structure has been going against them for decades (jobs move out, people move out, demand drops, prices drop). The region is severely economically depressed. These are people working and organizing to make their community better. This is what government should be. Not some distant vague entity that wants to solve everything through taxes.

Here's an example, in the area I'm in now I am part of an organization. They wanted a few trees cut down that weren't near anything. It would be easy to do. The people cutting them down could even use or sell the wood. It would be no risk and no cost to the organization. Instead they chose to hire someone at a cost of a few thousand dollars...
I agree with the rest of your comment but I just want to respond to this part:

>If you don't have thick skin, you should probably avoid upstream discussions

I have a humble request, please discontinue this attitude on your own projects and please encourage other upstreams to also discontinue it. I'm baffled as to why so many open source maintainers seem to confuse needing to defend technical decisions with "having a thick skin," they are not the same. It's perfectly possible to be opinionated and strongly scrutinize a technical decision, while also not being harsh and rude towards the person presenting it. If you believe those mailing lists are unsalvageably hostile, then in my opinion, they should just be shut down. That's not the kind of place to have official project communication.
It could be synthetic fur works best, after hundreds of years of scientific process we find that just recreating animal fur, which evolved over millions of years, is best.

Or it could be that someone standing on the desk of a dirigible floating in the clouds of another planet chose to wear gear that harkens back to the explorers of yore, like George Mallory.

Or it could be that it was done on a budget and a explorers coat and MSA Millennium mask are what they went for.

If someone took a rare out of print book and after a good faith search for the copyright holder, started printing it and set aside the proceeds in escrow to go to the owner if they were found or donated otherwise, that's materially very different from stealing works in print and price sniping them.
>Original point: even in the darkest hours of the civil war, the enemies of the Constitution never managed to sack the US capitol.

I was unaware that the Capitol had been torched after being emptied of its treasures and nubile women, as opposed to being invaded by morons who were more focused on taking selfies than sacking.

>Response (paraphrased): So?, only one person died violently, [various unrelated distraction arguments attacking claims not made]

You and I both know that the media has done a very good job of convincing the public that multiple police officers were killed during the "sack", when (as I said) the only person who died violently was an unarmed rioter.

>This poster also advances the controversial (I'd call it a howler) claim that 'the former was allowed to enter its target' as if the Capitol Police intended for a sack of the Capitol to happen. Most people find these arguments downright offensive.

What else would you call a fully armed force not using armed force to prevent rioters (all but a handful unarmed) from entering a prohibited area? Remember, said rioter who died was killed after force was finally used (better late than never). If the Capitol Police had chosen/been allowed to do so, no rioter would have ever entered the building.

Let me repeat: The only difference between what happened at the Capitol and what almost happened at the White House the preceding June is that the rioters did not get inside in the latter case.
