Sort of. The Federal Reserve is nominally independent and controls the money supply. The US Treasury sells bonds to finance the government, and The Fed buys some of these bonds.

You are correct that tax dollars don’t totally fund the government, it is also possible taxes aren’t needed at all to fund government operations, since as you said, the money supply and government bond issues can theoretically be increased arbitrarily. Practically, the debt ceiling limits how much the government can borrow, and inflation/unemployment control how much money is created by The Fed.
Implementing the registry APIs, but backed by a regular filesystem (as Wine does) would be the sensible thing for Windows to do. (I looked at the source of Wine just now and I'm fairly sure nowhere does it process hive files.)
While I agree with the general idea outlined in the article, I'd go for cheap AND sturdy (mil surplus usually checks both boxes), thinking that worst that happens you'll buy another one is toxic to the environment and your finances.
When the choice is between their monetary investments being ruined and them using literally trillions of gallons of irreplaceable ground water year after year then I know what side I'd pick. Sometimes you make bad investments and lose money, that is life.

This is a classic example of punishing ordinary people for the actions of a few. The alternative decongestants are a placebo at best, they do absolutely sod all for me.
The title should really be changed, perhaps even resubmitted under a new title to give it a second chance at serious conversation. Everyone's talking about haha look bad picture quality ufo crazies (and they're not wrong), but the article is about comets traversing interstellar space that we can observe when they drop by our solar system.

Lots of crime and cities not thought to be attractive places to live. Crack is often cited as the main driver of urban decay but there myriad reasons cities like nyc began a decline in the late 60’s until the early 90’s when cities began to be sought after again.

What happens is as the tax base leaves the city has less money to take care of itself leading to more people leaving, etc. The opposite happens as people move back in.

I’d never count NYC out but it was clearly in need of a correction. After the riots and the regime in charge supporting it, the increase in muggings and robbery, and the blandness to much of what Manhattan has become, I know a few people that left. Especially with remote work being more viable.
Not as bad as NZ. NZ only serves beer and wine in the supermarket for starters. They have the same under 25 policy. They also have policies where if they smell alcohol on you they won't allow a sale. Not only that but if they smell alcohol on someone next to you, they won't allow the sale. Not only that but if the person next to you looks like they could be under-age and don't have ID on them then they will stop a sale. Is truly ridiculous. Once I bought some alcohol and they asked my mum for ID. My mum had me when she was 25.
Just to defend the waitstaff at this restaurant-- the law could be that if the waiter didn't verify the ID, the waiter would be personally liable, fines easily equal to 1-3 months income. Also, cops do 'sting' operations where they try to persuade waiters to let them buy drinks without showing ID.

This doesn't change your basic premise (the law is nuts), rather it extends it (the law is even more nuts than you expected).
>I'll take all the side-channels I can get though. These "exploits" are really useful for regaining control over my own PC.

Not really? What does this exploit let you do that you couldn't already do with a local administrator account? Or are you making the general argument that "EoP exploits are features because they allow you to jailbreak your device"?

>Just yesterday I learned how to Run-As TrustedInstaller, and that let me remove a lot of unwanted bullshit on my windows 10 install.

They're not really comparable. You need admin to do it, which means you already crossed the security boundary[1]. This is in contrast to this exploit which allows you to cross a security boundary.

It's worth following the evidence instead of taking this article at face value. If you read the study, this information is taken out of context. This is reefer madness pushed by someone who has connections at CNN.
In the US we have seen unelected people in previously ignored roles relish the new found attention and power they have received.

Pointless lockdowns with arbitrary milestones that they are able to prescribe, daily zoom briefings where all eyes are on them as they explain “the science”.

For many, this is their 15 minutes of fame. Don’t expect them to give up that power and pseudo-celebrity easily. The attempts to scare and bully people will get more desperate as these people see their time in the spotlight coming to an end.
Agreed. The article also does not seem to explain it. From what I understood the SAM only stores encrypted password hashes, nothing that could be readily exploited for local privilege escalation.
This article touches on something interesting: community hosting.

I'd like to explore that. Specifically, the idea of small communities where a group of people maintains the underlying tech, and - kicker here - everyone in the community knows more or less everyone else in the community.

That offers a bit more security/safety/continuity than just self-hosting everything, while still not ceding control to a faceless corporation.

Granted, there will always be other reliances outside of the community - like internet and electricity providers - but a line has to be drawn somewhere.
With all the smart people in California I wonder why they can't convert ocean water into fresh water? Seems a good desalinization plant instead of all those big houses next to the ocean would do wonders.

Back in the day, government would solve problems, like building the Hoover Dam or the Erie Canal.

Now they just find ways to scare us and create shortages, while they all get rich.

It's the new carbon tax scheme all over again, this time for fresh water.
> I mean it's a natural progression of how products are designed and made. We have electronics that are relatively easy to break (either through normal use or casual misuse), and then are simply not economical to repair.

The primary reason this happens is that companies don't want you to repair their products because that hurts their revenue. It's only natural in a system that rewards profits above all else and has little to no mechanisms to enforce compensation for the externalities.
Sorry if I'm late, but there's a Teletext font set which works perfectly under an X Terminal. Google/DDG then.
There's no incentive to change the status quo. The people who profit off of said policies are the ones who influence politicians and policy makers to keep them in place. The system is very much rigged so that the ultra rich can continue to accumulate obscene wealth while keeping wages low despite increasing global inflation. Bezos especially is guilty of this
I think an element most of the comments are missing is the element of salary. Whether you "worry" about an item is related not to its absolute price, but to its price relative to your salary. So whereas the writer would be wary of swimming with a smartwatch "because it costs a fortune", someone else would not because it didn't cost a fortune relative to their bank account.

I think software developers (especially US-based ones) are kind of the secret "nouveau riche". They make a lot more than people realize, and I think they themselves don't often realize how much more money they make than most people.

The trap I often fall into is buying cheap when getting into a hobby (camping, bicycling), because I’m not sure I’ll stick to it, or because the initial price of entry is high and I don’t want to make the wrong choice buying equipment.

I always end up buying twice. I can’t re-sell the cheap gear, and renting equipment is too time constrained to make up my mind.
The heart of a cow (and any vertebrate) can beat on it's own. Each muscular cell of the heart beats, and they coordinate the beating when they are in contact. Also, there are a lot of neurons in the heart to synchronize the beating of the different parts of the heart.

IIRC It can keep beating even without brain signals. It's not the ideal rate of beating, and there are other problems, but the heart somewhat beats on it's own.

I don't know how many sensing neurons the heart have and how they interact with the beating. The heart is not as "smart" as a brain, but it's "smarter" than a rock.

Stealing the examples from other comments: Is the heart of a cow smarter than a planaria? Is the heart of a cow smarter than a hydra?
Debian stable is a great choice for a system where you need stability and security. For regular desktop usage though, Debian Sid (unstable) may be better because you get newer software.

There is only one issue I had with Debian: I don't like/understand how it's package manager handles unneeded software.

For example:

1. I installed Debian with the Gnome interface.

2. Decided to try KDE, installed it alongside Gnome.

3. Deleted KDE. But then there still were lots of KDE-related packages left. I tried `apt autoremove` and some other stuff, but no matter what I couldn't figure out how to easily remove all unneeded packages and return to the previous state.

Password hashes. /etc/shadow isn’t world readable in Linux dither
DynamoDB, hands down. The comparison of client API in the article is laughable. Even the author themself noted that making a wrapper API for a given use case is trivial. To choose a persistence engine based on client API is shortsighted at best.

For the very small/simple, literally anything can work well, and even query API complexity doesn't matter much when you only have four distinct query patterns.

At the mid-to-high level, I wouldn't use either of them; I'd use a relational database system. At this level you are adding new bits of data, some that fit in existing tables and some that do not. Your assumptions about query patterns falls down as new use cases arise. SQL is insanely flexible and powerful at this level.

At the extremely high level, it's DynamoDB again. MongoDB can't scale as well. Relational isn't as useful as JOINs will kill throughout. This is the model DynamoDB was built for: query loads for applications with more than 10 million concurrent users.

Add in DAX and the only scaling limit is how much you're willing to spend.

Most of us (let's be honest) end up making products that live in the first group where even a couple Raspberry Pi 4 SBCs with external USB 3 drives would be sufficient.

99.99% of the rest would be all set with a properly managed RDBMS.

That last 0.01% will be highly bespoke anyway, so putting predictions in too much detail would be a fool's errand. To some extent it applies to all levels, but at the highest usage rates, the only real answer is "it depends."
I really do hate those Perspex dividers, they’re the epitome of corporate “we have to look like we’re doing something even if it’s about as useful as a water pistol against a battleship”.
Rivians were featured in the Apple TV+ documentary series A Long Way Up which was pretty good for those looking for travel/adventure stuff.
The problem with hive is that the type has to be set correctly yet several types have no established meaning. For example it's totally random whether a number will be stored in binary with type DWORD or stored as a string (with who knows what type and encoding). However store it in a different way when writing to the registry and Windows or whatever app wants to read that field will break. In a way it's worse than if it wasn't present at all.

NTFS specifically has file forks ("Alternate Data Streams") and I guess you could use those to store a type, although whether using forks would be a good idea or not is up for debate.

There is a big difference between those and mandatory vaccinations. If you're going to vaccinate everyone then it isn't like people can choose to opt out. Plus the logistical issues of how to vaccinate foreigners.

“Oh, don’t you worry about that,” Yossarian comforted him with a toneless snicker as the engines of the jeeps and ambulance fractured the drowsy silence and the vehicles in the rear began driving away backward. “You make the bribe big enough and they’ll find you.

It probably seems similar because file systems are typically classified as a type of hierarchical db themselves. That being said "I can represent it with a file in a filesystem" is different from "it is a filesystem" in posix (nearly) everything is accessible through the filesystem, even network sockets, it doesn't mean everything's canonical representation is a filesystem it just means it's mappable.

Regardless the point wasn't "a filesystem couldn't represent a rewritten registry" it was that the registry is actually a database today (whether viewed as a file-system like db by the reader or hierarchical db it is listed as) and the rest of the technical problems have to do with it being 30 years old and not rewritten not that it wasn't written with a file system representation as primary view in the first place.

I would guess that a lot of it is profit driven. People without fast access to internet probably don't spend a lot of money, and the vast majority of things built on the internet are to make money.
A huge portion of the dynamic is that people will buy a $398 device over a $399 device. It isn't just companies relentlessly pushing unrepairable stuff.

Canada could really help out here, if they can build oil pipelines all the way from Alberta to TX they can build water pipeline (dozens) from BC to California. Just the runoff into the Ocean could provide more than enough water for everyone. I figure eventually they will have to do it whether they want to or not. Climate change will force them to share their water resources unless some kind of desalination tech happens sooner than later.

About 2 decades ago NFLD wanted to tap a river that flowed into the Atlantic and pipe it into Eastern USA (Billions of gallons a day/week). The Canadian Gov said no, which was surprising since the Province is struggles with revenue and is lightly populated. For whatever reason they would rather see it flow into the Ocean.

To quote myself¹:

This would be great and all, but all parties who are in a position to choose to implement this kind of system or to keep the status quo are already motivated to keep (and expand) the existing systems, for any number of reasons. Everybody (except the end users) loves to keep that juicy metadata and incidental logs of everything.

Yes, that type of investment had existed but for hardtech startups not some app startup(and even lot of hardtech startups were funded by government grants/funding). Nowadays every bit-and-byte is funded in the hope of making it into a unicorn. That punctures the fun.
The question is what is the end goal? Because you are right. It does cost an exorbitant amount of money and resources. How will it benefit anyone beyond billionaires and corporations? A few satellite launches is literally the only thing I see being a benefit. The only other thing I see is maybe space travel but it is going to be in the realm of novelty/space tourism for a long long time.

Machining grade 5 titanium alloy (the most common one) is not especially challenging; it's easier than 316. Saying this as I did machine it personally on a manual lathe.

From the initial endmill size they use and the generous machine sizes (which can be extrapolated from chuck/table size) we can easily tell rigidity/chatter wasn't a particular challenge here. And the finishing passes are so delicate they don't even bother with coolant for that.

Yes the code to run all this would be a monumental undertaking in the 70s but it is done once and can be still entirely cost efficient as far as mass production is concerned. The thing new machines have is the running speed (for same precision work). These did improve a lot and make certain classes of products economically viable.
> why they can't convert ocean water into fresh water?

Desalination has high costs, both in terms of energy and disposal of the waste products. These costs would be massive at California-scale.
AMD's SEV and Intel's SGX should protect from this. Of course, you still have to take the VPS provider's word that they've enabled them on their CPUs.
The US should figure out ways to cut emissions in half. Unfortunately:

A. That will not fix the global problem, as US population is too small. Even if we were to completely shut down energy production in the US, the rest of the world would build enough power plants to cover for it and then some in less than 20 years. Industrialization of 10 billion people (3% in the US) is not pretty.

B. It is unclear what to concretely do in the US to significantly cut emissions. To simplify, the right doesn't want to hear about it, and the left is content with promoting minor inconsequential Potemkiniads.

We never had a chance to fix the problem, not with 10 billion people yearning an escape from poverty.
I hope this doesn't get normalized. Otherwise we might start seeing more malware planted by fake door to door telecom maintenance people. With business models like those of MLM, many innocent people would be harmed/unknowingly recruited.
As I said in the past, when a rental property goes vacant and stays vacant for more than 1 year, the property tax goes up for 5 years minimum equal to the amount of the rent that was previously paid. Increasing 15% every year until rented.

This is for every unit that is vacant.

US navy surface vessels have state of the art electro-optical sensors capable of taking very detailed photos and videos of airborne and surface targets.

These are used for both SAR and for target identification purposes you don’t want to blow up another civilian aircraft or a fishing vessel by mistaking it for with a military target.

I don’t know exactly what the US is running but sensors from other countries I’ve seen are capable of reading the tail number of a passenger jet from a substantial distance.

These sensors are also thermally stabilized and corrected for atmospheric disturbances as much as possible, and usually capable of visual spectrum + NIR and NUV to provide even higher fidelity.

If these sightings around carrier battle groups and fleets are indeed so common we should have pretty decent evidence of what these things are.
Well, I am going to move back next year, and indeed the reason is a combination of "much lower real estate prices" and "I can do my work remotely most of the time". But the second condition does not apply to everyone, so the job market will always play a role. My wife, for example, will probably make much less there.
Even if it's "as simple as an app installation", you still need to have a public IP address that isn't behind a NAT. How many residential ISPs offer that?
