Sounds laughable, but I'm already on, I think, 5th such "Product as a Service" contraption, and refused a 6th one because of client's business model been extremely unethical, and borderline fraud:

A WiFi MP3 player with "unlimited music through life" and few paid premium tracks, which the client planned to suddenly switch into not so unlimited, and subscription only in the course of 2-3 years through the power of fine print, and legalese. Bait, and switch.

Stuff like DRMed consumables for water filters, coffee machine capsules, subscription only air fresheners, and DRMed packed fresh food! is already a reality.

And if you don't believe about microchipped, DRMed food, here it is:

So what happens when non-Chinese software and service tech continues to dominate because China decided it wasn't important?

Clearly these sectors are powerful or they wouldn't be targeted. Whats the plan to make them obsolete beyond taking Chinese software down a peg?

1 (relatively small) advantage is not needing to control the server, just the domain. The server then polls IPNS and updates things with the latest stuff.

2 There's the standardized (and perhaps more meaningful) cache busting aspect for assets. i.e. the IPFS Companion browser extension takes all /ipfs/<CID>/filename.ext urls and sends them from the local datastore instead of making requests. This way, assets aren't requested from a remote each time when they're the same on multiple websites. This helps since CDN's don't use common caches anymore. Though, it might come with the same privacy risks.

yes.
I switched from Mac to Linux more than 3 years ago, and I've been gaming on Linux for 2 years. I'm far from a hardcore gamer, but I got back into gaming just because I wanted to see how far Linux gaming had come. I was pleasantly surprised. I've played quite a few native games, but also some running on Proton. I was amazed when Doom (2016) ran with excellent performance. The Witcher 3 is another one with great support. I only cracked and started dual booting Windows when I couldn't get Doom Eternal running properly. It felt like such a betrayal! But since then I've decided to be more pragmatic about things.

I still prefer running things on Linux where possible, and I sometimes buy native Linux games even if I don't know when I'll get around to playing them. There are definitely some rough edges, but I think there's a future for Linux gaming. I think it's mostly due to Valve, which is why I get all my games from Steam.

They'd better clear it with ASCAP. Dumb as it sounds, 4'33" is copyrighted, and if you make changes that alter it, you may have violated the licensing.

I'm not sure if that applies to music compositions the way it applies to plays, with which I'm more familiar. But when I license a play for performance, I'm usually forbidden from altering lines. (That's one of the reasons I usually do Shakespeare.)

Instead he managed to brew an exciting new variant, which is what every health official was warning against.

And I'm guessing that unless the majority of the population are rapidly inoculated then exciting new strains could constantly evolve until we have something truly nasty.

Sometimes you can go by smell! Produce that smells good also often tastes good.

I also have some luck going by looks, but by specifically looking for exemplars that have flawed looks (in ways that I know don't negatively affect flavour). For types of produce where you can sort of tell which ones are good, other people tend to go for the ones that look good but also don't have blemishes. That selection process results in the good ones being statistically overrepresented among the ones with flawed looks.

Why static typing makes those things impossible?
Can't say I agree this is "plain and simple", as the way you're defining value here seems to be "might makes right".

I guess if that's what people believe, it may be tough to convince them otherwise... but IMO, it's really valuable to think about how the "winners" of history navigated tough moral challenges, and often did things that we can now identify as harmful.

In this case, it's not about making historical missionaries feel bad about themselves for "winning" -- this article (in my read, etc) is concretely about trying to avoid repeating these mistakes in modern tech, specifically NLP and translation. We can (hopefully) do better as a society than "might makes right"!

Who's "value to society" people's values vary that's why we have markets so people can decide what they value by deciding to buy it.
What happened was that the silly people who wrote that twaddle managed to forget (somehow) that the millions of miles of fiber optics and copper cabling, the millions of processors that go into servers and backbone routers, the thousands of satellites and microwave links, and so forth are all possible only because of the "Industrial World" and all the uncounted thousands of acres of land on which that infrastructure rests and the businesses that run them are under the jurisdiction of "Governments".

There never was and can never be a cyberspace independent of the physical world. All there was was a brief moment of being ignored until the powers that be realized "Oh, hmm, looks like that Internet thingamajig is kind of important now; better start ruling it."
> A reminder that government services suck on purpose. There is no reason for government healthcare to be ineffective other than the malicious intent of those who run our government (D or R).

Yes. Government employees and elected officials have weekly meetings with a standing question: Where are we doing things well? And then they coordinate to fuck it up and make it suck. /s

SnapOn is famously desirable and expensive. I think part of this is that there are very few truly "premium" construction tools because, well, they are used in construction. Your drills and saws and the like are expected to get beat up and may need replacing. You may need more tools if you get more workers one day and fewer tools the next. Obviously there is still a range in quality and I'm sure we've all noticed the difference between a good name brand tool and a more budget option, but I think the ceiling is intentionally kinda low.
Hijacking this comment a bit, but I haven't watched real TV in a very long time but have been tuning in again because of the Olympics and Jeopardy.

I'm seeing an incredible amount of ads for companies that let you gamble real money on your phone. Sometimes it's back to back to back to back commercials for online app casinos. This seems really dangerous and a sign of a tragically unhealthy and predatory economy - I can't think of anything more negative-value-add than gambling. Has there been a regulatory change that allows this, or has this been going on for some time?
Exactly. And the fact that it's framed as "well I just wanted a straight comparison, I didn't want to wade too far into idioms and Rust-isms in the first pass" feels disingenuous.
And, that npm package brings 200 MB of dependencies, even though it actually requires only 10 files total.
Completely agreed. Where is this "right not to be cheated in an online game" coming from anyway? Sounds absurd when you put it in proper terms, that is someone else taking control over your computer.

Power is an important factor, but to assume it's the only factor is irrational.

Think about it like this, China built the biggest high speed rail network in the world and doing such a thing wasn't just about "power" it was done because the regime cares about it's people. Centralized governments aren't automatically evil. Like all people in general, more likely a central power has complicated motivations that span across many dimensions. Power solidification is just one dimension.

Sort of a tangent but California can't even ring the shitty bart around the bay. Likely because not enough of the key people in critical places care.
I still believe the pendulum will swing back to something else... internet 2021 is not the final state of the cyberspace, and things will evolve as connectivity, cost of hosting and ubiquity of computer systems increase.

What will be the web once we move to a new 3D / AR media or a metaverse platform? What id the internet become distributed again (I see some seed in blockchain / DAO), or if connectivity become ubiquitous (think smart dust).

We are just at the beginning of this journey, and the GAFAM of today are the IBM of tomorrow.
Aha! That is one of those things that never crossed my mind, but makes perfect sense once explained.
I'd say Windows 10 VS NixOS unstable, Windows is more stable, has better functioning drivers. I still use NixOS to host a Windows VM because I like the userspace more, but the "WiNdOwS iS L3Ss StAbLe" meme doesn't hold very true for consumer hardware. Servers will be more stable on Linux because the manufacturers incentives aligns with yours, you buy our hardware to run Linux, we make sure it runs well on our hardware.

Well, there's no reason for the govt Healthcare to be effective either. The gov makes money either way, malicious intent or no it is hard to keep a system running effeciently when there is no real compelling reason to do so. Even for profit corporations start to bloat and become ineffective when they are making too much money, and they arnt garunteed that money either way unlike the government.
I'm not going to give them ad views.
Ah, yes, active desktop, crashy little bastard that it was.

When I was doing desktop support for 9x I got very good at enumerating the things active desktop theoretically did, checking users weren't using any of them, and turning the flipping thing off. This was infinitely less painful for everybody than trying to coax it into actually working.

(and before you say "but the users would just turn it back on again" ... yes, and then I'd turn it back off while explaining I'd warned them about that just loudly enough that the next time they turned it back on their colleagues would laugh at them before they got as far as contacting me and the problem then became self-solving)
From my understanding of previous talks on this, a fair amount of HFT's and trading firms use Java. The trick is that the trading day is a well-defined window with clear starts and stops. So if you load up your server with huge amounts of memory, you can get away with never calling GC during the trading day. The GC can be paused until after hours or just kill the program and start it up before market open the next day.

Our synthetic limestone will be on par with mined limestone. At scale when accounting for the higher calcium content per tonne and value of carbon we expect to be cheaper even than mined limestone.

You hit the nail on the head there. The most important cost factor is energy. We're looking at <3MWh/tonne of CO2 removed. Somewhat higher than some competing DAC companies that claim 1.5-2.5MWh. But these guys have the added cost of finding permanent storage of their gaseous CO2. Cost estimates for this, at scale, are as high as $100/tonne
I really wonder how they're gonna do that tho, like implementation wise. I suspect either they are gonna have some sort of deal where VAC can be swapped in, or they're working on some secret sauce kernel module that implements Battleye and EAC.

Would you consider it not stealing if it had been the cashier who rang him up?

What if he didn't notice it at all? Is he still "guilty" for the theft, such that it would be fair for police to show up at his doorstep and arrest him if the store detected it and correlated it to this credit card? Is it fair for him to be put in county jail for six months, which is a possible consequence for petty theft?
"They" being "Israeli propagandists" as referenced in the previous comment.

What you're doing is exactly what we're talking about. Trying to shut down any criticism of the Israeli government as antisemitic bigotry. It's no different than the 50 Cent Army (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_Cent_Army) dismissing all criticism of the CCP as sinophobia.
