Once upon a time, it worked very well.
That’s a great question. Do you know what the answer is?
Blue Origin has twenty years plus to make their case. SpaceX is slightly younger, but about the same age.

If anything, Blue Origin had a head start. They squandered it.
California cities rebel against new mask mandate
Not illegal, but taxes should be higher for unoccupied buildings in commercial areas. That rate could be determined by any number of things, from the tax revenue of other nearby businesses, residential housing prices, etc...
The 3.8B numbers is really meaningless, in isolation. This is the problem of plenty - 10K numbers with a very specific profile might be a lot more valuable. The real worry would be the info on the relationships between the numbers (which number is connected to whom). This leak seems to have a count of relations rather than the actual connections.
Apple fixes bug that breaks iPhone WiFi when joining rogue hotspots
I vaguely remember years ago reading something about google saying they won't scan gmail because they might unwittingly break some law that is meant to protects kids on the internet. Maybe if they knew your age and you were of age they scanned...
> Did anybody find it weird that a series that ended with a rousing affirmation of the value of truth was full of so much gratuitous falsehood?

That rousing affirmation of the truth being in a courtroom scene that never happened - quite so, though "weird" doesn't quite cover it. On the subject of the individuals portrayed, I thought its depiction of Anatoly Dyatlov particularly slanderous.

BTW, the PinePhone baseband runs Linux on the non-DSP part of the baseband. There are folks reverse-engineering the proprietary programs running under the Linux kernel on the baseband.
I supposed that's why they're writing drivers not crypto libraries.
The sample in the article is Binder. Which is only needed for platforms Android supports. Which are all Tier 1 & 2 Rust targets. (As is MIPS too).

If you wrote a driver for HW that only appears on 1 or 2 CPU architectures then targeting is less of an issue. I would not be surprised if lots of drivers in Linux only work on x86 anyway.
Thanks for your comment.
I don't expect a "prediction", as as you said, we lack of data and knowledge, and most of the time, we are completely wrong. Nevertheless, some may become true.

I just want to see the panel of ideas people can have, from their own eyes, own background and current situation.

Products in the case described are usually tools.

What tool do you need for what purpose, is the right question to ask.

Are you using it as a professional, as a hobbyist or out of curiosity ?

Then choose the product from your real needs.

I tried a cheap bracelet for many years then I felt frustrated because of the inherent limits of a 30$ electronic bracelet. It wasn’t very nice as well and in some situations plain ugly and because I didn’t want to have a nice watch + an ugly cheap 30$ bracelet at the same time it was annoying … then I found that it wasn’t precise enough with sports.

Since I bought a more expensive smartwatch, I can use it even when I’m going out, it’s really better with sports and synchronisation, and I just take the best care I can and I put it away if I do some kinds of manual work.

I don’t think of the price anymore after some months to a year it’s just sunken cost. But I enjoy it every day for it’s aesthetics and features.

People used to buy 500$+ watches for decades and the watches were just giving time (and the current day). They could’ve just bought a 15$ watch isn’t it ? It’s the same time on it.

Nothing changed, we have a choice and buy to invest for utility, pleasure or both.

Usually more expensive tools last longer than cheap ones based on the same use. That is by design, more expensive materials vs cheap materials. So cheap stuff is usually made for occasional and not really heavy use. Every time I used heavily or often a cheap product, it broke.
This has definitely been a problem long before last year. Heck, in 2018 Harvard Square lost a great cafe everyone liked that had been there for years because a landlord firm off in North Carolina figured they could charge triple the rent if they brought a VC-backed NYC chain restaurant in.
Zoning can be a problem but it's not the be-all-and-end-all of property market problems. Maybe existing landlords need to be less greedy rather than sitting on empty properties.
> on just electricity to run my home server than it would cost to pay for the services it provided. Not to mention the initial cost of the hardware you need to host it.

Most servers with enough GB of RAM and powerful processors can cost in the 50/100 USD range to rent per month. It's much cheaper to self host beyond a rock bottom VPS. Leaving a modern PC on the whole time will not cost that much in a month, and what you invest in hardware will pay for itself with the difference over time.
It’s private property - the owner should be free to use it as they see fit.
If this article was trying to get me to try ClojureScript, it had the exact opposite effect. Beautiful syntax to define a class had me at first, but then fell on its face when I saw that first "if" and compltely lost me with the gymnastics required to.. wait for it.. make one thing happen after another?

I just dont understand.
TL;DR:

Some Windows configuration have bad permissions on their SAM database.
If a standard user has access to shadow copies (VSS), this can lead to privilege escalation.

Microsoft recommends to [1]:

1) Restrict access to the contents of %windir%\system32\config:
- Command Prompt (Run as administrator): icacls %windir%\system32\config*.* /inheritance:e
- Windows PowerShell (Run as administrator): icacls $env:windir\system32\config*.* /inheritance:e

2) Delete Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) shadow copies:
- Delete any System Restore points and Shadow volumes that existed prior to restricting access to %windir%\system32\config.
- Create a new System Restore point (if desired).

Also, please note that some authorities seem to adress this subject carefully. The French national cybersecurity agency (ANSSI) has for instance published a News bulletin [2] but no "real" Security bulletin of this vulnerability [3].

In its News bulletin, the ANSSI specifies that it also affects Windows Vista RTM :).

However, the ANSSI also says that deleting VSS entries (step 2 of Microsoft recommendations) "must be decided after evaluating the advantages and disadvantages with regard to the risks, in particular because there may be other possibilities for privilege escalation depending on the level of security of your information system."

My rent stabilized building in a desirable and convenient part of midtown manhattan is sitting at almost 30% vacant. This is completely unprecedented and wasn't even like this in the 80s. I'm leaving myself soon.

New York is in serious trouble and everyone is acting like things are somehow normal again.
Why the downvotes? What exactly have I said that is controversial, untrue or misleading?
I'm not going to refute the rest of your comment, as it's a valid opinion and I'd just be repeating myself, but in regards to this:

>Once you get settled into a career it can be really hard to step back out into solo dev.

I don't think that's true in and of itself. A lot of people struggle to adapt to the financial uncertainty of flying solo later in life, but that's only because they have a high-cost lifestyle and minimal savings.

I quit my day job last year, a few months before my first daughter was born, to run my online businesses full-time. The fact that my wife and I had saved huge chunks of our pay (100k+ in the bank), in addition to the fact that the businesses were already running at half-steam meant that the transition was stress-free and seamless.
It seems pretty clear that rust in linux would reduce certain kinds of run-time bugs. What isn't so clear is whether, overall, rust improves linux or not.

There's bad to be weighed against the good. Adding complexity strains and breaks processes, slowing development. Among other things, this means additional bugs and lets them survive longer, so it's not even clear rust is a win purely from a bug perspective.
It is [2019], but the points raised are still largely valid.
The chmod of the beast is 666. Also daemons are everywhere.
I am legitimately not sure if this is a bug or a feature.

I'll take all the side-channels I can get though. These "exploits" are really useful for regaining control over my own PC.

Just yesterday I learned how to Run-As TrustedInstaller, and that let me remove a lot of unwanted bullshit on my windows 10 install.
A big part is people are typically afraid, or don’t have the opportunity, to get a second opinion.

One of my biggest lessons early in life was that not all doctors are the same (by a long shot). This is why it’s so important to see specialists related to your condition. And ultimately you’re going to be most responsible for getting proper care as often only you know what you’re experiencing.

Medicine and pathology are far to wide of subjects for generalists to operate efficiently across every field and niche. Which is why specialization is so important and connecting the patients to the right specialists.

There’s a lot of analogies to technology, where people tend to expect the experts to do and know everything and completely defer to them. I think we all have experienced this with our parents or people who didn’t grow up with computers. When ultimately the individual is always going to be a huge part of the puzzle and must accept that fact.
> No way to get around it.

Well...none of them are particularly easy, compared to punching holes in your local firewall. CGNAT takes you one step closer to digital serfdom (all hail our managed lords!)

That said, I'd say IPv6 would work if you have a public address and a tunnel broker for v4 only networks. Failing that, some kind of overlay (maybe a .onion?) or a reverse tunnel from someone who does have a public v4 address.
It amazes me that Microsoft haven't replaced the Registry with a simple directory structure, not that it would help for this particular bug, but it would surely be an improvement. I maintain a library for accessing the registry from Linux (https://github.com/libguestfs/hivex) and after writing it I also wrote this screed about how it sucks in just about every way possible:

Harbor Freight Tools. Why buy a fancy, durable specialty tool when you only need it for one project? Buy it cheap, use it once, forget about it, sell it in a garage sale a decade from now. Don't forget to clip their coupons, they used to give out an unusual amount of low quality tarps free with any purchase.
One of the things I have found very useful is to configure Syncthing to have "sync only once" folders (it sends the file only one time).

In order to do that, I:

- Set a folders in a device to "send only".
- Set a folder in a different device to "receive only".
- Set the "Ignore delete" advanced option for the desired folders on both devices.

And that's it! I use it mainly to do some manual processing of the received photos and videos with Shotwell (copying and sorting my library into Year/Month/Day directories).

You may run into some issues where you may be promoted to "revert local additions" (I think on the receiver's end)... This mainly happens for two reasons:

- if you deleted a file on the receiver's "sync only once" folder
- if you use a single folder where there may be other incoming files from other synced folders.

It is best to avoid the latter scenario; a quick fix for the first one is to make sure to delete the media first in the sender's device's folder and afterwards delete it on the receiver's device's folder.

After that, you can click "revert local additions", and the message should go away.
It’s not really a critique of someone gawping at a big number to then go and gawp at a bigger one. These two numbers are only related in that they express volumes of water.

The context for the comment was that lawns consume water on a scale comparable to all domestic agricultural irrigation, or half of all the domestic reticulated water supply, and it’s not doing much beyond aesthetics. That is significant use of a precious resource by any measure, and a wasteful one by most people’s. If the amount of water in Lake Superior or the Mississippi were relevant to the relatively small water consumption for domestic use and agriculture, why would anyone be bothered about droughts? Just send in the barges!

Whether lawns are environmentally ruinous by dint of sucking up that much drinking water is a different argument. New builds clearing woodlands in order to have more acreage and monoculture lawns displacing native species / food webs are problems, but there’s certainly worse things you could do with an existing yard.

If an actual proper hard lockdown is done, it takes only a matter of weeks.

COVID-19 has only existed as a problem for less than twenty months - what childhood is that short? And even if that statement had some relation to reality, anyone would take a childhood lockdown vs a lifetime of impairment (&, yes I get that lockdown itself can have some long-term effects, but these are much more easily counteracted vs biological deficits).
They should combine it with that zero click remote iMessage bug. That’d be some serious black hat marketing synergy.

In Australia I believe its around 13.6% vaccinated at this stage. If we were able to match the UK vaccination numbers at this moment, we would be a shining example of managing CovID. But we screwed up, we dropped the ball on vaccinations and pretended we could continue to keep Covid at bay indefinitely, and failed.
What Linus wants is apparently to have people contribute back to Linux mainline, but the GPLv2 license he chose doesn't even have that requirement. So any sharing that does happen is down to culture, not to the license. PS: the requirement to share upstream wouldn't be Free Software, since it would exclude dissidents, people on a desert island etc.

> Every zip code needs more child care.

Why is this? Are there many more children?
The key question is: would they let people who want to find bugs? Because that is the point here, if you can read the software but not allowed to do an audit, it doesn't make any difference (for the issue that we're discussing).
Yeah, that was a lot of the criticism of Tesla as well, as they raised a lot of money before getting into volume production.

Its to be expected, though, as the car business requires a lot of capital.
While I whole heartedly sympathize with the sentiment of the article (no one wants to see local institutions forced out, chain stores move in, or storefronts sit empty), and real estate developers and “speculators” no doubt make an easy target, it would seem that the author thinks that neighborhoods can and should keep their current character and not evolve (for the good and the bad).

It somehow always strikes me as odd how some tenants think that they should not be subject to market forces, if you want to lock-in prices for more than 1-10 years, buy.
I think you expect more from the study than it explicitly says.

From the abstract: "Interpretation. These results accord with reports of ‘Long Covid’ cognitive symptoms that persist into the early-chronic phase. They should act as a clarion call for further research with longitudinal and neuroimaging cohorts..."

Yes, the impact and recovery will be different between those people. They didn't intend the paper to be a complete answer and with the method they used, it would be impossible to achieve. What you ask for is interesting and I hope other papers will be published digging deeper, but why not accept this result for what it is?
What's stopping you from utilizing vpn tunneling?

My server is also behind a CGNAT but can be accessed through Wireguard tunnel with the cheapest vps I found in my place to be the main gateway.
You are exporting your water from California. Wouldn't people be happier if they had lots of water for their home use and instead of those minor agricultural exports? Seems like a huge misallocation of resources to me.
I sold my Amiga 600 in late 90's. I bought it in 1993. My previous computer was an Acorn Electron, which had, like 32k of usable RAM. I didn't get much use out of it. A friend said he has an Amiga, and it had 1M of RAM. I was astonished as to how much RAM that was.

I saw a new vid on YouTube recently with a guy showing how to use the Octamed tracker. By coincidence, the guy that bought my Amiga all those years ago bought it primarily for the tracker.

The Amiga is a surprisingly capable machine. I saw a demo where they booted up Debian on the Amiga. It was slow! It just goes to show how compact the AmigaOS is. The whole OS came on 3 single-sided (?) floppies, and one of them was for fonts. Amazing, a whole OS on less than 2 HD floppies.

It appears that AmigaOS is STILL being released commercially . The latest release was 6 months ago. Amazing, considering that Commodore died in 1994. There is AROS, a free version of AmigaOS, which is still actively development. Development seems to be slow, though.

AmigaOS is available for the MK68K and PowerPC. I saw a PowerPC version awhile ago. They're not cheap, though, which is a pity.

I really thought that an AmigaOS is combo with a Raspberry Pi would be an awesome hit. OS development on Pis has been a disappointment, actually. I was expecting more. Everyone just runs Linux.

Kids these days need 8G just to run Firefox, of course.
AFAIK the MS equation editor allows writing a subset of LaTeX tags for symbols, doesn't it?
Your comment is kind of boring in its dismissiveness, but you acknowledged you're getting cranky so I'll take that as the explanation. In any case, there are those that care (I'm one of them) and we would appreciate if you could refrain from cheap dismissals.
Yeah! something like this as a regex-writing helper could be super useful! And it could have uses such as a mini-editor/plugin within an appropriate larger editor framework? Cool idea!
> illegal to have empty storefronts and apartments

How do you comply with such a law? If nobody wants to rent your space at any price, maybe because it's a terrible location or there isn't the demand to support any business at the moment, what are you supposed to do?
When you self-host, the government has to come to you for your data.

When you use third-party services, the government can go to them. The third party might not fight the request the same way you would. And, you might not even know it happened. The third party might be expressly forbidden from telling you it happened, in fact.

This was why Hillary Clinton wanted to host her personal email in her basement. A physical server that she owned, on property she owned; there was no legal way to request that data without going to her personally. If she had used the State Dept server for her personal email, Congress could have accessed all her personal emails simply by asking State to send them over.

That’s a controversial example, but the same principle is followed by many companies and organizations who have kept some portion of their data self-hosted. It’s often email or some core of file storage that they consider legally sensitive.

This is getting harder to do, though. Look at the recent revelation that the government tried to get newspaper email metadata from Proofpoint, a spam filter provider. Self-hosting a good spam/phishing filter seems almost impossible in 2021, because of the huge amounts of data needed to train filters well.
It's not much more difficult. Many hosting companies provide installers like e.g. cPanel that allow you to set up a Nextcloud instance within a minute.

Sorry for the stupid question, but isn’t it illegal to buy illegal stuff? How does the police get away with that?

For instance in Denmark it is technically illegal to buy stolen goods, even if you genuinely aren’t aware of it being stolen. Im sure this applies to most countries.

Of course he doesn't build rockets. Logically no one builds rockets. Yet somehow without him SpaceX rockets wouldn't get built. What are the number of individuals at SpaceX that we can say, "Without that exact person the company would not work?"

I'm not saying it's absolutely the case that he's the only person who answers that question but I would say that the number of people who do is a number somewhere between one and something very small. I'm also saying that he's in that group of people.

>Why does the author equate expensive with fragile?

He doesn't. His last paragraph literally starts "If buying an expensive product makes you a hostage of it"

Also keep in mind he's in Morocco. A $150 smart watch breaking is absolutely devastating when you earn $800 a month[1] and don't have access to the same warranty and support that people in the US do.

[1] This number is based a sample size of 1: a telecoms engineer who I was talking to (in fluent English) back in 2019 about hardware startups. It may not be indicative of the average salary in the region and is almost certainly above average.
Hoping this could push the costs of getting into Amiga hardware lower. I never got to use an Amiga in "the day", and seeing the prices continually creep and creep higher really discourages me.
Plenty of home/SMB NAS offer that. Plus there are projects like https://www.freedombox.org/.

On top of that, many hosting providers offer to set up popular open source projects for you.
Google doesn't do anything with your information for this particular search shown to you. It can still be used to skew your other interactions with Google, it's partners and anyone else with whom Google decides to share the data it has on you.
I'm not sure if there is a ton of overlap. The R1T is much more expensive and has a much shorter cargo box. The F150 Lightning is much more like a traditional truck and is targeted more directly at commercial customers.

If the R1T and R1S are successful, its easy to see why Ford might want a part of both. It wouldn't shock me if they buy them completely at some point.
The problem is that it would be dangerous for any FOSS developer to be chosen among those who can see their sources for obvious legal reason. Anyone willing to be exposed to Microsoft's IP and NDAs that way is probably already so tied to them that we couldn't count on any independent security auditing and reporting without Microsoft authorizing it.
