The English Parliament is allowed to pass legislation to which the head of state consents.

Among such legislation is the English church’s military arm engaging in the ongoing Irish religious war. A conflict that goes back to the time Henry VIII made his own church to sanction his divorce…so he could marry the first woman he is known to have killed.

More recently the English head of state created a new legal structure to harden the already armed religious border on Ireland.
Great. That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
Amazing. I was interviewed by the CEO of the space company several months ago (friend of a friend apparently) and decided to pass since i felt uncomfortable.

I started doing this with side projects a little while ago. The revelation for me was to create a monorepo out on GitHub and actually keep my hackaround projects under some reasonable form of source control and all in the same bucket.

What I started doing was rewriting my projects over and over trying to chase down the core first principles. I would take my previous iteration - MyProject12 - and create a fresh one - MyProject13. The idea would be to use the prior copy as a reference point for the new one, and to only use it for the little nuggets of value I think I still want to carry forward. I have VS solutions with every iteration of that project in it so I can quickly do a sln-wide search for something I discovered previously.

I repeated this process about 40-50 times for an application framework. Fast forward 3-4 years and we are now talking about setting up a license agreement between myself and my employer for purposes of using this IP in next generation products. It is incredibly nice to have permissive employment contracts so that I can freely explore my interests without fear of reproach. Seems this has very powerful win-win mechanics.

It may sound strange that this is what someone would do in their free time after work, but I actually do derive pleasure from indulging the fantasy of being allowed to rewrite code piles. If I were to take this tendency into my professional work, everyone would have quit by now. It seems to be a good outlet for me.
Wow, never heard that one, but I love it.
You're being unnecessarily snarky for some reason.

They aren't suggesting that this is new technology, but I do believe it's a new product - I don't think I've been able to sign up for a service with this kind of convenience before.
In this case I mean, VDI has existed for literally decades now. Are we supposed to congratulate MS for doing what every other cloud provider did more than 10 years ago?
In parent it was about the "potential", which you can't reach anymore if you are circumcised. Whatever "potential" means. Could just be not having to use lube.

I'm curious what you think would be wrong with their calculations. A ratio of 299:1 will certainly include some large corporations with high ratios, but also many more smaller companies with substantially less revenue to pay their CEOs.

How about undergoing a non-essential and medically unnecessary surgery without your consent? Doesn't that bother you at least a little bit?

I was baptised as an infant and most of the people I know were as well, but I recognize it for what it is - roping me into a membership in an organisation which requires me to jump through many hoops to leave, because it needs the numbers (at least on paper) to maintain power.

Fortunately this is reversible, but circumcision isn't.
Perfect for my use case where I need the occasional place to test random Windows stuff or temporarily need a computer with a different IP. I have a Win 10 eval VM here at home but I don’t really like maintaining it.
I’d much rather see pedantic comments that are technically correct than people just nodding along and perpetuating meme-like garbage facts. Too often when I scroll through social media I read quotes and posts that make me roll my eyes at how people will avoid critical thinking and reasoning as long as the words sound good and tell a good stereotypical story in their minds. In this case, the idea that vast canyons are formed by little drops of rain over time.

sort of - if you search the wayback machine for something like http://twitter.com/username/* - it will list all the tweets it has - and then a user can download everything and search locally. so, it's not as simple as searching by keyword, but it might be something to be aware about, if you are concerned for that kind of thing

They are creating an ISP, but how successful is it going to be? The clear leader in satellite Internet constellations is SpaceX Starlink, and Kuiper compares poorly to what Starlink offers. SpaceX is going to have a bigger constellation. SpaceX already has a bigger constellation – over 1600 satellites in orbit, compared to zero launched yet for Kuiper. SpaceX has a huge advantage in having their own launch vehicles (Falcon 9, with Starship under development). Amazon has to rely on third party launch providers, and it isn't willing to choose SpaceX (SpaceX COO Gwynne Shotwell has said they are happy to launch competitors' constellations, but obviously Amazon doesn't want to fund its main competitor). For now it has chosen ULA, but ULA costs significantly more than SpaceX, and with Starship the gap is going to become even bigger. Amazon's other major option is Blue Origin – which, although owned by Bezos, is not an Amazon company – but while Blue Origin's launch system New Glenn is competitive on paper with SpaceX's (being in between Falcon 9 and Starship in capability), its maiden launch probably isn't until 2023 at the earliest. I think it is likely that Starship will be launching Starlink satellites before New Glenn is launching Kuiper.
>"I think that the disagreement that you and I have is where that line should be drawn."

Agreed. And, I think another source of us not quite seeing eye-to-eye is the fact that I as an individual tend to lean a lot more on "I know it when I see it" kind of thinking when it comes to applying rules to the real world. Plenty of other people are a lot more "by the book" than I am.

Along those lines, I'm not an absolutist and there are plenty of cases where Twitter removed content and it was perfectly reasonable for them to do so. But I'm increasingly worried about them removing content that is merely controversial, or unorthodox, rather than truly wrong. You could say I'm more worried about "innocent men going to jail" than I am about "guilty men going free".

I agree this is the way to do something, keep at it consistently. But at the same time the story tells me it took a long time, many YEARS, from 2015 to 2020.

It takes a long time and but it also helps that you don't use the whole day for it every day. That means you have time to think about what you're doing while riding on a bus or doing something else.

The end-produce is beautiful and simple, but it took a lot of effort to make it simple, to know what exactly it should be.

Now had there been a clear spec to start with I assume it could have been done much faster. But then again creating the spec takes its own time.
The solution is either NAS or cloud archive (not backup) such as SmugMug or ExpanDrive.

My dream sauce (SaaS ;)) was this application which I consistently worked about 2 hours every day for one year and when everything was ready, the guy refused to use it. Though I still keep it hosted even though no one uses it :-)
Thank you! I sure hope so. I'm focusing on things I actually know. I knew this one guy who worked at a GM plant for two decades and started his own company manufacturing a part nobody would ever know exists, and now he's doing super well. So I'm taking a similar approach of building things that are useful to me and that I've had experience with on the job as it's all I know.
> If that is happening

Yes, that is happening for many years. China being the most known state, but AFAIK even well-recognized first-world democratic countries like UK block some websites.

> then the architecture of the internet needs to take more evolutionary steps.

Adoption of IPv6 is a good example that architecture of the Internet is pretty much set in stone at this moment. We can put more layers on top of it, like Tor network, but underlying protocols are still IPv4/IPv6 with enough meta-information to allow efficient blocking of protocols or resources.

I have some hopes that new TLS standards with hostname encryption (ECH) along with CDN networks will make blocking impossible. But even that is easily circumvented with government MITM. Kazakhstan already deployed all the necessary hardware and did some successful tests on scale. Browsers blocked its root certificate, but will they block (imaginary) China root certificate, losing 1.5B users?
Which is newspeak for “terminal” ;-)
Exactly. Just look at the mess that is the C++ String.

This, of course, causes everyone to roll their own String, which is probably almost as bad.

So, now we have a zillion String libraries, all of which suck.

All because the C++ standard library doesn't provide a decent String.
I suspect this is more about giving that almost-boiling water more points where it can break tension and start forming bubbles. So it doesn't make the water reach 100° faster but makes it more visible.

It is fair to say this is quite distorted by the impact of very low interest rates on expectations of future profits though, which is a key component in the share price.
Is disinformation and right-wing propaganda their problem? I run in really deep left circles and I can tell you my Facebook page is full of disinformation and left-wing propaganda. It's horrifying to see what people on both sides believe but it doesn't strike me as a Facebook problem as much as a human problem.

I don't see people complaining about Twitter, mostly because they agree with the propaganda that's being spread there.
This was of course the logical end of the cloud expansion. Why pay for users to have a beefy machine when all their apps live in the cloud anyway.

Also now it is so much easier to enforce policies prevent users from installing things they shouldn't, recover lost data, etc.

Of course it brings with it all the same issues. Hopefully we can figure out how to move back to private computing before they make all endpoints dumb terminals.
The commentary here so far is technical — “it’s just RDP” — but I suspect the real story here is on the business side. The fact that no pricing is available is telling - this isn’t for consumers. But for big companies who get this as part of their enterprise agreements, I bet this is a big deal for their IT departments.
No one considers NYT a "paper of record" anymore. That may have been the case 8 years ago, but they have gone totally off the rails since, and everyone knows it.
At first I thought "another RDP solution" but then I saw this line:

Windows 365 also creates a new hybrid personal computing category called Cloud PC, which uses both the power of the cloud and the capabilities of the device...

Does that mean it makes use of local hardware past the capabilities it would need as a thin client? GPU acceleration, etc? It'll be interesting to find out.
As far as I can tell, there's a fair bit of difference between "decreed a crime" and "we've backed up a truck to the DC, and physically seized your data, do as we say if want it back"
That's cool that you use it in these ways. Do you have any example newsletters or flowcharts we can look at?
Absolutely. It isn't collectivism to regulate industries and companies that have enormous power to do good or harm. This idea that private property is unconditionally off limits is radically individualist and libertarian and just as bad as collectivism. We aren't atomized individuals. We all live in a society with a proper order and a common good. When a company begins to do harm to the common good, it must be regulated (or at least certain activities should be criminalized which is probably a better default in general than regulation). The notion that "I can do what I want" as long as it takes place in the private sphere is absurd. The private is distinct from the public, but it also affects the public and vice versa. Thus the presumption is in favor of not regulating private activity, but not an absolute and universally binding one.
I did not downvote, but I suspect they're from your attempt to compare to domestic American law. While tempting, it's a misleading comparison here. US states do that because the US constitution has the "full faith and credit" clause requiring them to acknowledge and cooperate with the legal processes of other states. There is no equivalent internationally.

Dual criminality is a standard provision in most (nearly all? all?) extradition treaties. Canada's treaty with the USA for example says:

> Persons shall be delivered up according to the provisions of this Treaty for any of the offenses listed in the Schedule annexed to this Treaty, which is an integral part of this Treaty, provided these offenses are punishable by the laws of both Contracting Parties by a term of imprisonment exceeding one year.

and the US-Japan treaty says:

> Extradition shall be granted in accordance with the provisions of this Treaty for any offense listed in the Schedule annexed to this Treaty, which forms an integral part of this Treaty, when such an offense is punishable by the laws of both Contracting Parties by death, by life imprisonment, or by deprivation of liberty for a period of more than one year [...]

Catholicism is an outlier here:

About half of people who attend church once a year or never said they had dated interracially; just 27 percent of respondents who attend weekly or more reported dating a person of another race, according to a study using data from the 2007 Baylor Religion Survey.

> Religiously, I don't see the christian sects as very divided, despite their many differences.

It matters less how you personally see this than it does how church-goers in aggregate feel and behave. Certainly, growing up in the South, it was abundantly clear that there were black churches and white churches and that the two very rarely mixed.

The KKK is an explicitly anti-Black, anti-Catholic, anti-Jew, pro-Protestant Christianity organization. Its self-stated reason for existence is to push down members of other religions and races. You can argue that these members aren't "real Christians", but they are sure as hell going to church and their fellow church-goers think they are.

*> I can't think of any widespread religious riot in the US (I could totally be wrong though).

It has a Wikipedia category:

Apple's Finnish warranty conditions still say that they offer a limited one (1) year warranty on their products. However, the warranty terms start with a bolded section about consumer protection laws and how this limited one (1) year warranty is an additional protection offered voluntarily by the manufacturer, and that it does not replace the rights given to consumers by these laws or in fact apply in claims made under consumer protection laws.
Knocked out teeth.
I'm not sure where I picked it up, but others have noted the likely origin of the phrase.

I actually almost never use it because it's pretty rare for me to need to refer to the former president, but there's a definite element of response to the reality-detached individuals[0] who've somehow been convinced that he's still president and is simply laying low until somehow he magically resumes office through some as-yet-unexplained mechanism.

I remain quite relieved that I no longer need to be concerned on a day-to-day basis which individuals, countries, ethnicities, companies, planets or star systems our president has insulted, mocked or outright attacked in word or deed.

I think it's just an American thing to treat private companies like the Wild West.

Companies have obligations too, and I think that in Europe (compared to the USA) more people would agree that it's better to limit companies if it benefits people.

Certainly, in this case, it's better for people to have their protests heard than for Google to flex it's censorious whims.

They made an app that has the power to sway public opinion and they reap billions of dollars of profit from it. They can afford the burden that they took. If they want to participate in the economy and society, it seems only logical and right that they are required to not have a detrimental impact on society. We don't allow companies to do whatever they can do when chasing profits. We don't allow companies to pollute however much they want so they can make more money, we don't allow car companies to make death trap cars, etc.
I always thought that saying applied more to economics and politics than personal relationships. Look at the leaders who came of age during the Great Depression, then took the US through WW2 and the subsequent postwar boom. Many of them were massively fucked up in their private lives but still managed to perform well in public.
Yes, this is true. Good point. I was talking from the point of view of a home user, where this is rarely a serious problem, at least in my experience.

The Project Zero stats imply three times the rate of detected zero-days versus last year. Apparently, this is largely due to the increasing output of private companies finding and selling exploits.

I have to admit I under-estimated how problematic electric vehicle fires would be based on my knowledge with smaller lithium-ion devices like phones (that just pop and quickly fizzle out). But after reading about fire fighting them, you realize how big of a powder keg they are, in particular as they can spontaneously re-ignite themselves and water has limited effective (even if still the best we have).

I hope your (really good) point gets more visible as this thread matures. I wanted to add that these are not mutually exclusive strategies: a project/business/startup can go from single focus to part-time and back multiple times.

Two other strategies I'm a fan of:

- Quitting before you overcommit. Sometimes it's just not worth it any more.

- Taking a step back or time off. At minimum can give you perspective.
Maybe that's why their challenge failed.
99% of people if you tell them to go to website.com will type website.com into the address bar. This will send an unencrypted HTTP request on port 80, even if the site supports HTTPS. This initial navigation can be intercepted by a MITM and redirected, spoofed, whatever (coffee shop WiFi is a great example of where this could be dangerous). Making the default navigation use HTTPS negates this attack.

As a small side bonus, it also reduces navigation latency by several RTTs, as there is no longer the need for a connection to port 80 HTTP that only always gets redirected to HTTPS.
24/7 bombardment with conspiracy theories and partisan political nonsense through television and the internet has turned the relationships and bonds in my extended family into weird factions of outrage addicts that are basically impossible to interact with for any extended amount of time unless you similarly develop a fondness for their flavor of outrage or for their passive aggression for when you don't.

It's exhausting. I'm a co-founder and CEO, I have dozens of spinning plates to manage and keep track of most all the time. I'm also the father of two young children that I adore. Those are the things I decide to spend my energy on. What's fueling my estrangement is that I intentionally decide the kinds of BS that I'm willing to subject myself to, and the kind of curated insanity that tends to originate from my larger family doesn't make the cut.
