> you signed away your right to do so, individually and as a class

Has this ever been tested in court? Specifically in a situation of a service almost everyone needs and they don't have a choice in the company? The contract can say lots of things, but none of them have to be legally binding.
> Most landlords I know "write" their own listings using a standard template and reusing old photos

So, like Airbnb? Last I checked, that platform -- without a person -- also charges renters about 15% or more. And you don't even get to actually visit the place before you commit to paying the fee!
Thanks for the link!

Seems like 1,000 banks is a bit of an exaggeration.. if you remove the duplicates, I don't think there's even 100.
Probably extremely aggressive nuisance prevention. You could try holding the wrongly selected button down for 3-5 seconds and see if that cancels the call so you can give another one.
Do you need the recursive form? Because a single flatten is itertools.chain.from_iterable
Sure, they will be different in scale. But can't you keep them synched in all the ways that matter for TFA? Like your clusters will be different sizes but will have the same resource definitions, etc.
That may sound like an easy fix, but easing the ability to discharge student loans in bankruptcy court would necessarily require higher interest rates on new loans (sans increased subsidization of student loans). That may be a palatable tradeoff, but I suspect most students would prefer cheap borrowing.
This article is kind of a bait and switch actually. It first states:

>we want to match Tarzan except when this exact word is in double-quotes

and so the reader might start thinking of ways to "match" this. The author then starts to mention ways to do this, but at the end, their trick is actually to not "match" it, but to remember it in a group. This will not match what the author says it will match, because if you do regex.test(string) it will return true when "Tarzan" appears, because it is in the or statement.

It appears the author is very good at storying-telling though.

> Happy to chat about instant games anytime, email me at Lars.doucet@gmail.com and in return you can tell me more about what you’re doing in video.

I'll absolutely take you up on this! :D Email coming soon!

> how do you feel you contrast with say, supercast?

I think we are using the trappings of supercast in order to advance the goal of an "open video platform". But the core goal is "open video platform", not necessarily to follow that exact playbook.

> Chicken or the egg problems are tough. What’s your plan for delivering a truckload of one or the other to break the deadlock? (In this case chickens = content creators, and eggs = viewers/subscribers)

Two things:
- Shrink the eggs required to make an omelette. (forgive me for stretching this metaphor) If you make paid, subscription feeds; you need fewer individual people, and you can use existing platforms (Youtube / Twitch / Tiktok) as a marketing channel for your paid videos on the open platform where you control the business.
- Piggyback on the existing channels that podcasts have in place (search rankings, recommendation rings).

If the balance is right, it'll work and we'll have an open video platform! And if not, then at least it's been fun to work on. Or maybe to put it another way, if it doesn't work, it will still have been the right thing to have done.

You can use AWS SES to process inbound email and just use lambda to parse the email.

Or sendgrid free tier support incoming procesing too.

Also, you can use my own service https://hanami.run it supports webhook

Setup an email server for inbound email with Postfix is pretty easy to. You can use mailbox_command of postfix to parse email

You can setup email on a sub domain and only point the subdomain to it.
I quoted the Fourth Amendment, it is written in a way to clearly state it is not giving you rights. It is protecting the rights you already have.

This is what I've always done.

Databases (or cattle, how or what ever they may be) are always created as a separate stack in your IaC of choice. The values you need for this stack are always outputted for consumption into other pipelines.

The benefit being you can make lots of small changes to your upstream stacks without breaking your database. And you can place additional controls around the database stack to prevent instance replacement from occurring.
What percentages refer to is defined on a property-by-property basis in the specs, so while groups of properties typically have the same semantics, this isn't globally true. (For example, the background-position case already mentioned.)

If we had an actual market for carbon emissions, people would be very incentivized to come up with solutions that scale better than burying charcoal. But since we're not even incentivizing people to bury charcoal, I'm not very surprised that we made little progress at doing more difficult things.
No, really it’s not. Yes, some American governments have tried that, but they’ve always failed because the courts don’t take a sympathetic stance with the government’s intentions. This is what separates a country with some notion of rule of law and an independent judiciary to one where all power is concentrated centrally.
Interesting how much the people with boots on the ground and no PR departments to filter them actually do seem… pretty aware of how much we’re all going to die? Or at least they seem aware the probability of igniting the atmosphere is over 50% and not nicely contained in the distant future. Something of an update there for me.
You only need a few; I have a Patreon for my comics and so far I've gathered about eighty people willing to pay $1-5 per page, times 6-8 pages most months. Which covers most of my rent and expenses; doing private commissions fills in the gaps. They mostly have IT jobs and like the stuff I'm putting out for free enough to support it, fifty bucks a month is a drop in the bucket compared to what they're paying for rent in SF or Seattle or whatever.

And I am absolutely nobody, I have all of like 1700 followers on Twitter, and am pretty much absent from other corporate social platforms.
Hard to know without being there - but honest/nuanced answers require in-good-faith questions and not political posturing or using the opportunity to attack/leak.

Though I think Zuckerberg has done a good job continuing this despite the leaks (at least that's what it seems like externally).

It might not be just the company that changed, but the employees too (which may have forced Google to change policy as a result).
Because there are other health issues, we should ignore this one? Smoking is a leading cause of death, so it's not insignificant.
You might be interested in a generic time tracking daemon like arbtt[1]. It takes a snapshot of your activities across all programs in much more granular and configurable interval. It stores the data in binary format which is more space efficient but ships with tools that can spit out data for further scripting.

Independent of data collection, arbtt also has a DSL that lets you tag your samples programmatically. Which means you can use logic such as conditionals and regex on data such as active program name, window title etc to mark a sample productive or distracted etc.

The weird thing I do with Emacs here is run a function every N minutes and figure out productive work ratio in that interval with help of other scripts. Then it compares the ratio to a target threshold and performs actions based on if it meets the goal or not. Usually I warn myself if I am not being productive, but when I am feeling particularly intolerant of procrastination I lock myself out of my own laptop for a few minutes, to clear up my head.

Erm, you are requiring the kind of rigor that is needed to establish someone's guilt for establishing someone's innocence. Innocence is the null hypothesis.

The quality of evidence supporting the rumor that the person had been shot by the police was extremely sketchy and the evidence that is available points to the incident being an accident.
At this point. The vast majority of ISP dns servers are hostile. Here in Australia, the ISP dns servers are hostile by law so 100% are hostile.

If you are in the minority who have a great DNS server, go to the firefox settings and make a change. Defaults should suit the majority.

Another option is for landlords to price the additional risk into the rent itself.

But there’s no way you’re going to add risk into the market without that having some effect on pricing.

Capitalism, an economic tool (and a useful one), has become state religion and now capitalists control everything.
It seems to be a rule that data expands to fill the available bandwidth.

With that in mind, what's the relative transmission power for 4G vs 5G if both are using all their respective maximum bandwidth?
Yes, this should be the best practice.
All ISP dns servers in Australia are malicious. By law they must log all of your requests tied to your ID and they must block copyright infringement sites.

The first one alone is reason to have DoH enabled by default for all users in Australia.
They actually called it USB at the time, which always causes me a moment of confusion.
>I would not support anything that added a microgram to my iPhone or MacBook or give up even one tiny feature to support the tiny fraction of people who can do repairs. I would be comfortable with establishing a legal framework that allows standing for litigation on the basis of "subverting the right-to-repair for anti-competitive reasons" with those reasons being constrained to behavior truly unwarranted and without meaningful contribution to the quality of the product I get.

Luckily, nothing I've advocated for will do that!

Keep your A1989 Macbook the way it is. Change nothing, but this one thing: when it stops charging, let Louis(or you) buy an ISL9240 from mouser.com. And let people buy a schematic from Apple, instead of waiting for it to get pirated to vinafix, or leaked to me by a fan who works at Apple.

That's it. That's all.

No change to your device's functionality, no change to your device's weight, no change to your device's software.

Does this sound fair?

I really do want to engage with people who have concerns about what Right to Repair might do to their devices. I want to learn your concerns. I want to learn how to ensure Right to Repair bills, as they are drafted, never inconvenience you or lower the quality of the devices you use. I want to learn how to create messaging that makes it clear that this is my goal.

Serious question, and I'd be honored to get a reply.
The baseline shouldn't be zero growth.

Over the past few decades California has seen one of the largest economic booms in history yet population has barely budged. That in itself should indicate a problem but for some reason people need to see housing get so fucked that workers are giving up on their jobs and moving away at such a rate that population declines before they'll admit something is wrong
There once was a day, long ago in the before time, when the leadership at Google was held to a higher ethical standard than Mark Zuckerberg.
If it can be stored in Google services it can be stored in your own db, too.
By "lower emissions" I mean investing money into energy sources that don't emit CO2, into better insulation for houses, into low carbon modes of transport. This will naturally lead to less energy use, because thermal power plants are not very efficient, burning oil for heat is not very efficient (compared to a heat pump), and burning oil to move a car is not very efficient (compared to a BEV, or a train). Doing something about emissions from agriculture is a bit more difficult. Perhaps that's an area where we'll need carbon capture to reach neutrality.

I do not mean moving back to a pre-industrial lifestyle.
Hm. I've always thought that the algorithm of operation of a single elevator is fairly simple? While passing each floor, if a button of that floor was pressed (is lit up), or if the button of the direction it's going on that floor is pressed, then stop. If the elevator is not in use and someone presses any call button, go to that floor. That's mostly it. At least that's how I have that algorithm in my head.

Now, if there are multiple elevators but a single set of up/down buttons for them on each floor, that's where things get really complex really fast.
Y'know, normally I'd be relatively forgiving as none of us are perfect, but jeesus this is a clusterf** of an article.

The author, a "Director of Consulting" might want to do some training (Both Hashicorp and Microsoft have free training).

Why in the hell would you have the same statefile for different environments? Why would you have these environments in the same Azure subscription? Why would you run your terraform so infrequently that you'd forget about a botched statefile move? Why would you not read TERRAFORM PLAN (It's LITERALLY WHAT TERRAFORM DOES)?

I also suspect that while the author's probably heard of a CI/CD pipeline, they're running their IaC from their local machine, given the tone of the article.

Why, for a production database that contains information not contained elsewhere, would you not configure an Azure Recovery Services Vault?

Like I get it, people make mistakes. I once did something similar with an overenthusiastic use of terraform destroy, but this guy just seems like an absolute cowboy who doesn't really know what he's doing.
Continued good luck to you. Congratulations on making it this far.
You told them to remove "developer" from their sentence and they did, that's how the sentence now reads. I didn't get your point either above.

If they issued a malicious certificate they would not be able to hide it. Certificate Transparency logs are now mandatory for all TLS certificates:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_Transparency

The log is like a git hash-chain: you can never erase the past without affecting the whole chain after the erasure.

If you want hidden backdoors, put them in hardware, not software. Chips are the best place.

The ethical issue comes from using doses as boosters instead of administering them to unvaccinated people.

And no, the bottleneck is not logistics - there are many countries around the world still waiting on vaccine deliveries that they have the logistics to administer.
.. and hence there was deflation, one of the main drivers of the Great Depression.
Azure’s support is great! I am not surprised they quickly helped out.

First time I contacted them I was not hoping for much. But after a few contacts I realize they must be one of the best support orgs in the world.

They can quickly help out with anything from very trivial questions to helping out with very difficult faults, and do this without having to be harassed about escalating my tickets. Outstanding.
I was going off articles like this one. If people are fleeing in droves, or are kicked out of their towns and ground razed, doesn’t sound like they are the favourites.

R: A Pirate’s Favorite Programming Language
It’d be annoying for every type used in a cache to need to properly implement __deepcopy__(), and it’d pose significant performance impact, especially if the cached objects are large (which there’s a good chance they are, given you’ve felt the need to cache them rather than build them from scratch).

Much better off using the same assignment semantics used throughout Python and let people choose to deepcopy() all the objects they read from the cache if they really really want to modify them later; it would even work as a simple decorator to stack onto the existing one for such cases.

Aside: If we’re missing “deep coping” anything by default in Python, it’s definitely default parameters :) deep copying caches makes much less sense than that.
I am in group 4 (out of 4) and vaccination was supposed to start in July and it has been pushed to end of July. Some people in group 3 have still not been contacted and there are plenty of frontline workers not vaccinated yet. The government is voluntarily vague to protect itself so it is frustrating

Freecad and openscad are basically your only choices for FOSS CAD work
Freecad has pretty bad UX compared to Onshape and Fusion 360 (have to keep switching between lots of modes rather than a single unified UI), while openscad is more of a CAD DSL (that IIRC doesn't actually model solids as solids).
Steel in particular in new plants in the US, the stuff that isn't recycled in arc furnaces, is being made with a mix of hydrogen and CO (both from natural gas), and there's no reason the mix can't be almost entirely hydrogen (only a token amount of carbon is needed, and some of that ends up in the steel). Direct reduced iron furnaces can be converted to run almost entirely on hydrogen.

Cement DOES emit CO2 during manufacture, but it also absorbs it during cure (which, granted, can take decades). That means you can potentially use it for direct air capture in a sort of indirect way. (i.e. you capture the CO2 emitted during calcination, when the CO2 is very concentrated and easy to capture, then the cement itself captures CO2 directly from the air during cure).
He didn’t move to Austin, he moved to Bee Cave. Huge difference.

In Texas the inner cities are like a different world from the suburban and rural areas. (I say this having lived in both SF and Austin.)
To me it seems like America is increasingly the land of pushing boundaries and abusing technicalities from a position of power, such that politicians approximate those other countries you’re othering. Can we prove a link between congressional pressure for private companies to censor and the censorship performed by those same private companies? Not very easily. That’s exactly why members of the government shouldn’t even be allowed to suggest it - I view that itself as a violation of the first amendment (at least in spirit). It amounts to government coercion, and we shouldn’t be forced to accept the indefensible murk of not behind able to prove a link. As an example, AOC - as an elected, serving member of the federal government - should absolutely not be permitted to demand that Google and Apple censor Parler.
I assume you missed the "illusion" part?

Also no one cares about integrity since it is already validated by TLS. And it seems that DNSSEC is not even widely supported by TLDs. My domain says DNSSEC is not available.

Seems like DNSSEC is another failed spec like certificate pinning.
Sinhala does not have the structure of Dravidian languages. However, the alphabet used to write Sinhala has a shared origin with the alphabets used to write Dravidian languages. Also due to long coexistence with Tamil in the island, Sinhala burrows lot of loanwords from Tamil.

I am Sinhalese who grew up in Sri Lanka. As such I am exposed to Tamil, but when I watch Tamil TV, at best I can pick few words here and there. But when I watch Hindi show, I understand a lot more due to the structure is very similar to that of Sinhala.
I note Firefox is turning this on country by country. Perhaps they could turn it on for certain countries (possibly including yours, Australia) but leave it off for others (like New Zealand where all ISPs don't interfere with DNS).

Android doesn't come with a text editor, either (last I checked). Doesn't iOS have them in the app store, like Android does?

If so, that's not a closed ecosystem. It's a consumption-oriented default install.
Thanks, it looks interesting, I will try it out
The problem with Terraform and IAC is that there’s a big gap between learning how to use it and then learning how to use it in a safe, scalable way.

It’s the same with something like a programming language where there are thousands of best practices and foot guns, but infrastructure as code is more dangerous and much newer. There are also less books, venues and even training courses to learn these practices.

There are also a vanishingly small set of engineers who have actually done this in production at scale so it can be hard to find experienced people.
They're in the same business - not sure why you'd expect them to have different incentives.

Both are trying to do things at massive scale and dealing with the problems associated with that.

I think both do things I don't agree with, but are generally unfairly vilified most of the time by their failing competition (the press mostly) and weirdly some of their employees. The sense I get from this is it's mostly political tribalism (affects both far left and far right with different grievances for each).

I don't personally like the ad-driven model, so with the exception of YouTube I avoid their products where possible.
DNSSEC does not protect privacy which is more important than integrity since TLS already does that.

Even worse, making DNSSEC well used might have pushed privacy protocols out of priority as people claim DNS is good enough already.

I have the same setup [0]! My main PC is a slightly more well-equipped Haswell rig, but I certainly love my x201 to death. I've also got maxed out memory, though I upgraded to an SSD some time ago (a swan-song upgrade on a device like this). I still prefer taking the x201 on trips if I need to get stuff done, even though I have a maxed out T460s sitting in the dock, ready to go.

I experienced this too. Left SF and moved to Austin in 2020. Home prices have shot up 20% in less than a year. It’s such a sharp jump that I’d say Austin is not really that affordable anymore.
