You lack freedom in urban settings due to spacial constraints. There's no reason for personal computing to be like that other than people in California wanting to concentrate money and power for themselves. The analogy in TFA is much better.

That's interesting; I'll have to keep in mind!

14 admitted out of population size of how many IVM users please? (Consider those who get the shots also get C19, though at a much lower rate vs not having C19 before nor shots; I'd like to compare the 2 rates.)

Is 'masking' ~= slowing down disease & symptoms?

BTW, the MD who testified before US Congress to research about IVM more (Dr Pierre Kory) also testified a few months prior to use corticosteroids for C19. They reccomend both & many other things (like Zinc, VitD) as part of their protocol.

This is an interesting point. It's pretty common for people to start getting migraines after a head injury (concussion etc). Apparently the genetic component might already be present, but the disease can be dormant until "activated". Perhaps this, too, could be "unlearnt" somehow.
Java, C#, F#, Scala, Clojure, Haskell, OCaml, Python, Ruby,... come to mind.

Yes doing "Hello World" is much easier than C++, however when one actually dives into the ecosystem, programing culture and language improvements since they exist, then it isn't that cut clear to keep skills up to date.

In general, that would be prevented by the fact that the developed world is militarily stronger than the developing world. If some resources are not enough for India or Brazil, they can't take them from the developed world in the style of the earlier resource wars for e.g. oil.
OR the US could fund hacker groups that only target Russian companies, in a quid-pro-quo mode. For every ransomware attack to US companies there would be a retaliation asking the same ramson value to a Russian Company (or oligarch) That would get the Russian government working.
Deck vs OLED Switch: 40Whr vs 16Whr (3.7V * 4.310Ah) battery, to give similar 2-8hr vs 4.5-9hr, with 1.6TF vs 1TF GPU, weighing 669g vs 398g. Batteries weigh a lot.

ARM-based Deck possible?
Having worked on and lead 3 GDPR compliance projects, I can say that the cost of GDPR compliance is close to zero if your business is not tracking users or selling their data without consent. This assuming you are following best practises for storing users’ data (ie encryption, limited access to authorised personnel, etc…). If you store data without encryption, allow randos to access users’ personal data, you shouldn’t even be in business.

Also the EU is quite tolerant with breaches, as in if you are found in breach they will give plenty of time to address it (which often means removing a tracking cookie you forgot about or add it to your cookie policy).

At this point GDPR is way too tolerant, given that in 99% of cases you get away with a banner that makes it impossible to refuse tracking.

So not being GDPR compliant, which at this point means a bit more than being decent with users, says more about the business model of these companies than about anything else.
We are early in our "Space age". It's possible that inexperienced civilizations emit their position only to start hiding after realizing the dangers. Other possibility is that we are in a short period until we are wiped out because we broadcast our position.

All of this would drastically reduce number of visible civilizations at any time making the detection of civilizations much less likely.
I don’t think the Dark Forest principle asserts that all civilizations adhere to it. We might simply be the naive (or stupid) ones that get destroyed. That wouldn’t discredit the hypothesis.

We are also the only civilization we know of so we again may just be the dumb ones with a sample size of 1.

I have a gaming PC and a switch. I buy and play lots of indie games. Each time I have to pick a platform.

Steam: more support, lower price, won't have to buy it again if another "version" of the hardware comes out

Switch: portable, multiple controllers for local multiplayers.

Now I don't have to choose anymore. And I already have a big library of games. I will only need a switch for exclusive games and local multiplayer games.
The thing is though, taxes in the US aren’t any lower, if you include healthcare premiums as “tax”, at least for middle class people.

If you think there is no money for EV infrastructure, Hydrogen infrastructure investment is about 100x more, maybe that is even an underestimation.

Most people in cities don't use their cars much either. Tesla is already building super chargers in cities. If you only drive in cities and you really only park at spot where there is no charging, and you can't charge at work. You can just go charging at a super charger once a week or so.

To suggest hydrogen is a better option because of this very limited single concern, public parking in cities, is crazy in my opinion. Also the city could let a company do it as long as they get part of the money, and in fact this is already what many companies are doing.

I don't see there being that big a technological leap between annihilating another civilization and starting a colony in another star system. If you're the type of civilization that would be interested in killing a competitor off you're probably the type that's going to colonize and fill the entire galaxy in a few million years. We evolved, so that hasn't happened, in a galaxy thirteen billion years old. I suspect we're alone.

I find that I procrastinate the most when I have to write something “required.”

I basically never procrastinate on writing code.

I also don’t procrastinate when I’m writing things for intrinsic reasons, like I want to describe a neat thing I discovered.

But anything that’s required is hard. Writing conference papers for my PhD was horrid. I’d stare at a blank screen for days. I really wish I knew how to get past that, but I never figured it out.

This article just unintentionally explained why there is an incredible number of people in a nation such as China who are completely happy with its more autocratic operations.

Just as people have chosen the convenience of a “locked down” mobile device, sometimes folks don’t want total and absolute freedom; it’s just too much.

I came to iOS after 3-4 years of Android ownership. For about 6 Mos I missed the functionality and ease with which some things could be done. And now I much prefer the stability and ease of use in iOS.

To be clear, I acknowledge that Android can be just as stable and easy to use (especially now, with the Pixel devices). But I don’t miss Android flavors depending on manufacturers. And I don’t miss sideloading and rom flashing.

So I suppose I willingly turned in the keys to my super fast sports car for a Ford pinto (or moved into a nursing home). But I’m happier and more productive here. I don’t miss or need “the freedom.”

I also acknowledge that this can be a dangerous slippery slope. But that’s a whole separate conversation.
OpenSecurityTraining2 public betas of free multi-day classes are now open
I'd love to be able to drop NoScript and uBlock Origin, but the web has become such a shitshow that they're vital security tools.

But it's ridiculous that we have to go to such insane lengths, for privacy or even for access. Noscript, in particular, can be very annoying, but it saves me from a lot of worse annoyances.

This also crosses over to the crawling horror of IoT, where every device maker wants your sweet, sweet data. Oh, sure, we can throw our IoT devices on a carefully-firewalled VLAN - provided we have networking gear with that capability and the knowledge to use it, neither of which is likely for the average consumer.

I never imagined I'd live in a real-life cyberpunk dystopia when I first read "Johnny Mnemonic" in Omni so many years ago, but here we are.

What you say about the ultimate root cause analysis of a company failure is spot-on.

However, if production is down regardless of root cause, having engineers work overtime to bring it back up is probably overwhelmingly the right thing for the situation.

If they don’t and the company fails, it’s not because they didn’t work overtime (agreeing with you), but it would have been better if the downtime was 8 hours rather than 3.5 days (what I think whatshisface is saying).
Due to climate change, Germany will become Spain (and Spain will become north of Africa) by 2050. So, perhaps the north of Sweden would suit better.
Another alternative is to use Ubuntu server for the RPi instead of Raspberry Pi OS. Ubuntu server includes support for cloud-init which can be used for initial configuration.
I don't like copilot in its current form at all. That said, there exist similar solutions that I find acceptable in their current form as far as I know them, even including one that is owned by Microsoft: SwiftKey.

SwiftKey is kind of magically good without being - to the best of my knowledge - a plagiarizing or creepy thing.

You can have some fun by feeding it a start of the sentence but to the best of my knowledge it won't autocomplete a full stanza from a famous poem or the first two paragraphs from a best seller or anything like that.

It also learns from me but stores what it learns from me connected only to my account. Again as far as I know: this is based on my reading of the user agreement but also on how it lacks a lot of instant messaging language and stays reasonably formal.

That is how it should be.

If copilot was like that many more people would find it acceptable.
It is utterly pathetic that the NHS App certificate is not autorized officially be the EU. The data is identical, the QR code is identical.

Does eigenrisico apply to each event separately or is there an annual limit?

We have a similar idea here in Norway. I pay about 20 euro to visit my GP and I pay for drugs. An MRI costs me about 25 euro. But there is a limit of about 200 euro per year. Anything I pay over that will be refunded in the tax settlement for the year and if I have a chronic need for drugs I will be given a frikort to exempt me from paying for them at the pharmacy.

What you describe is a way for avoiding public outcry about the whole state of affairs through non-enforcement on consumers. This should really change IMHO.
Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Threat Protection with Sumo Logic Cloud SIEM

I would expect a cross licensing deal to include clauses to cover the situation where one of the parties gets acquired. For example, AMD would break their cross licensing deal with Intel if they were bought.
A Man Flying Around Major Cities on a Real-Life Hoverboard
P.S.

> in C++ or Rust, where this only happens in macros

Sorry, this is wrong. In both of these languages it happens much more frequently. All the time, in fact, whenever you either infer return types or just chain calls on return values, or when the type is a generic/template type parameter. So when you see `foo(e)` or `e.foo()`, where `e` is some expression, you can only tell which definition of `foo` is referenced -- or even whether two instances of `foo` refer to the same definition or not -- by figuring out the type of `e`, which is often implicit in the code.

> Overloading is the very essence of traits.

Which is why in Zig, the mechanisms that perform a similar task to that of traits -- i.e. abstracting over types -- work differently, without overloading.

As a general rule, Zig does not want the semantics of a piece of code to depend on things the compiler might know but the reader of the unit might not. Whether or not such a degree of explicitness is a worthy principle for a low-level language is a matter of taste, I suppose.
Out of curiosity: are you also using is as a spec format? I.e. define the OpenAPI first, and then implement it (either manually or automatically) - as opposed as constructing it out of an exiting implementation.
Agreed, great movie. Only thing that I dislike is it does that trope where it makes a waaaaaay bigger deal out of somebody killing the villain than would actually be realistic, almost implying that somehow the protagonist has somehow become as bad as the guy who [REDACTED] his [REDACTED].

As long as you don't have one of those online-only amounts BofA has. ATM access and the account are free, but visiting the teller is not. I'm not sure if they actually offer it anymore, as I closed my accounts with them several years ago. I recall having great difficulty disabling overdraft protection (to me, the whole point of a debit card is not spending money that I don't have--if my balance is too low for my purchase, I want it rejected).

The Art of the Meta Stream Protocol: Torrents of Streams
And if we suggested ten years ago that your burgers would be plant-based I am sure you would tell us how much Americans hate tofu and that this was just another ugly band-aid. Food is trivial to fix and is barely a small step below clothing choices when it comes to things that are driven almost entirely by culture and fashion. My children regularly request food like sushi and spring rolls that I was ridiculed for eating the the 1980s in the US midwest. Adding insect or algae-based supplements to processed food is already happening.

It's easy. It will happen. The only question is if it will take ten years or twenty.
Is there any way to auto opt-out of these sites? Like an adblocker, but for these privacy pops?
1 exception doesn't disprove this rule. There could be any number of reasons for one or some civilisations to broadcast but not be destroyed:

* it takes time, we've only been broadcasting for 70 years or so. 70 light years isn't that far.

* we are far from dangerous listeners (we are right out on an arm in the milky way galaxy)

* all planets broadcast for a while at least (we did so without any serious consideration) and not all broadcasts end in annihilation. Up until just 40 years ago we seemed pretty likely to wipe ourselves out with war, even if an alien were planning our destruction, why not wait and see if we did it ourselves?

* Popular methods of destruction might not apply to our solar systems. If you rely on near by asteroids or free-floating planets to destroy civilisations and there happen to be none near sol, then we are safe to broadcast even if no one is safe to reply.

* if more than 1 alien actively destroys planets we might be lucky and have the aliens who detected us assume other aliens will destroy us. As long as they are happy to wait, we can broadcast in blissful ignorance believing we disproved the dark forest when we're actually just in the middle of a Mexican standoff...

* If a civilisation destroys other civilisations as soon as it detects them, you can use the abrupt destruction of civilisations to triangulate that civilisation. And destroy it. And that's a high priority since that way you find hidden civs AND ones which pose an immediate and serious threat to you. The best defence against this is to allow plenty of time between detecting and destroying a civilisation, especially a harmless unarmed (in the cosmic scale) one like ours. The lack of many close neighbours to us means a would be destroyer needs to wait even longer before striking us to maintain their annonimity.

Ironically this last point is the best argument against the dark forest: why destroy soft targets like earth when doing so reveals your existence? Why not wait, let someone else hit us and then hit them since they were a much bigger threat. So you'd expect a certain amount of noisy "prey" to be left as bait by one predator for another...

Also, I don't think we are broadcasting very much anymore. The move to digital broadcasts (lower power) and to Internet based comms/media (99% undetectable even from orbit) mean we're a lot less visible than we were previously.
I assume they could. Meanwhile, I’ve used the git-secrets tool
However personal interest (i.e. greed) is a big factor that motivates them to devote their lives not to something that's simply very interesting to them personally, but rather something that just happens to be practically useful for large numbers of people very unlike themselves.

Smart people who have the ability and resources to change things don't really share the same problems as the target audience of mass market tech (I mean, hackernews is full of product reports illustrating this) - greed motivates them to solve problems of their "outgroup", filling the needs of all the people they don't really care about much.
