> The redwood is one of the few conifers that sprout from the stump and roots, and it declares itself willing to begin immediately to repair the damage of the lumberman and also that of the forest-burner. As soon as a redwood is cut down or burned it sends up a crowd of eager, hopeful shoots, which, if allowed to grow, would in a few decades attain a height of a hundred feet, and the strongest of them would finally become giants as great as the original tree.

Pro's use very difficult oil patterns to bowl on. You can't see the oil unfortunatly so people don't realize how important it is to making the game fairly easy or very difficult.

Most amateur bowlers who are holding a 200 average in their local bowling league would struggle to break 130 on the same oil patterns the pros use.

Pro bowlers don't make a lot of money and I'd wager many people on this Website have more income per year than a professional bowler. But they do have an opportunity for making money on endorsements for things like expensive bowling balls.

The ball matters to be sure. But the oil patterns used today in the pro circuits circumvent a lot of it. A pro would probably roll 300 game after 300 game on the types of oil patterns laid on a typical league lane.

> What circumstances are those?

If there is an act of war or natural disaster, the U.S. is good at extracting its citizens. There is also a decent precedent of negotiating to release people taken hostage or held prisoner by unfriendly regimes. (Or causing a fuss when Americans are harmed in a friendly country.) That, in turn, has a deterrent effect.

For Americans with access to legal counsel and the State Department, the benefits expand. Rich, overseas Americans thus present a unique free-rider problem.

That’s not a particularly good analogy. The persecution of the Jews by Nazis was based on immutable characteristics (such as whether or not one’s grandparents were Jewish). Likewise, if you had built a career as an intellectual, teacher or urban professional in Phnom Penh in the 1970s, you couldn’t suddenly turn around and pretend to be a peasant to avoid persecution. Even being short-sighted and wearing glasses was enough to be marked as an enemy of the Khmer Rouge regime.

Choosing not to be vaccinated is not an immutable characteristic. It’s a behavioural choice and a better analogy would be choosing to drink and drive – behaviour that is rightly frowned upon by most of society.
> First, early adopters come and verify it. They bring their friends. If it's really secure and they find no serious bugs, more people join. Then, a bridge is created between the services.

That's quite the optimistic path. What if the app starts being used by teenagers, for example? Or by people with less technical abilities?

> This is a problem with a non-federated protocol actively fighting against third-party apps and servers.

Federated services still need to pay for their servers.

> Such backdoor will be quick and easy to fix

Again, pretty optimistic on that.

> and to verify that it's fixed. Unlike with Apple's Pegasus. No system is ever 100% secure.

Pegasus was external malware. What makes you think a Pegasus for federated servers or open source phones can't exist?

> Users are typically very slow to move. See Whatsapp & Facebook. But what's your point?

Security research takes time, probably more time than users need to move from apps.

> There is such legislation already in Europe: GDPR.

And GDPR has accomplished way more in way less time than technical solutions. I wonder why.

> Unfortunately it cannot dramatically change the industry quickly, because of the monopolies and network effects.

Don't those monopolies and network effects affect the technical solutions you propose too?

My point is that of course you need good technical solutions, but just those by themselves are useless, because most people don't have the time and knowledge to reliably distinguish which ones are good and which ones are bad (and "good" and "bad" are relative too), and other differential features (price, capabilities, ease of use) that are easier to notice will weigh more on their decisions.

This is not a problem unique to tech and privacy. Food security, climate, building safety... almost everything you buy has had the similar issue of how to have "things done right" where deciding whether it's done right or not is hard for most people. Almost everything has been solved (or almost solved) with regulation, and just "better products" haven't been enough.

It starts off with facts but then just goes off the rails about middle gray and response curves.

Both are just about perfectly linear in response.

Middle gray is completely arbitrary on digital, unlike film. In fact, if you expose-to-the-right, there is no correct middle gray ever.

The only difference between CCD and CMOS as a technology is in readout, which affects noise (CCDs are much noisier). It doesn't change the look at all.

This will encourage users to transact in ETH compared to before because of its excessive transaction fees. I think that this upgrade will truly create a sense of urgency as every transaction will have some ETH burned.

I was actually, jokingly, suggesting this approach to friends recently. If facts, reason, and emotional appeal don’t seem very effective, why not just spread conspiracies? I was joking. I don’t think this would end well (remember Fauci lying about the efficacy of masking in March/April to prevent people from panic buying masks?). The ends never justify the means, we’ve been over this time and time again. I’m increasingly convinced that rank choice voting and similar voting reforms are the only hope for the future of the US. It may seem unrelated to the topic at hand but I think it’s very related. Imagine if we elected a President in 2016 that the super majority of people were relatively happy with, and who didn’t grossly mishandled the pandemic…

The way I see it, we have 3 terrible options:

1. Geo-engineer Earth. This means removing the pollution and putting in somewhere. Call this plan A. We will have a hard time knowing if this plan is working for a generation or two.

2. Suffer thousands of heat waves, until we are ultimately forced to stop consuming and polluting Earth. Earth ultimately consumes all our pollution naturally. How many generations this takes is impossible to know. Call this plan D, for default choice.

3. Leave the polluted Earth to the apes and move out. -- Call it plan M, for Musk.

Could be, but in my village nobody was hit by a car, and many of my family cats were hit by cars. So the chances for cats to get hit are higher, so we could maybe think that is because of the small size ?

The thing is cats have good senses so I am wondering if they have an attention issue where something else distract them or they have a perception issue so they don't realize how closer a car is.

My current cat is afraid of cars, so I hope she stays away from the roads.

I guess. But why would it be okay for Joe Schmoe to while away their time in Fiji either being a beach bum surfer, or shacking up with a local, opening a coffeshop catering to tourists, running a rickety charter boat, etc., be okay, but as a billionaire it is not ok? They can also want to while their their time in boredom.
I’m surprised the media even made a stink I just assume billionaires have fewer if any rules but I guess I’m being maybe too naive
That's a practical question, not related to the legal question.
Agreed that WebAuthn is valuable in mobile-only cases, but I don't think it can transition to desktop web for a large majority of people. The overlap in a Venn diagram of "people who use hardware security keys" and "people without smartphones" just seems vanishingly small. BTW, Keyri also uses the TPM / secure enclave as its key store.
That’s only relevant to a tiny percentage of American immigrants who travel/work in conflict zones and unfriendly countries.

It could even be said Americans are more at risk in those countries for being American and no other reason. So for people outside of that there won’t be any benefit.

If rumours are true and he and his family have been doing that because of Covid that is a very stupid strategy, especially coming from a billionaire. First of all because in medical emergencies you have to travel 1000+ miles to the closest decent hospital (or to the hospital that can save your child's life), even if you have the fastest jet always on call that takes time.

And second, apart from living in the middle of Siberia [1] or in the Amazon jungle with literally no contact with anyone, believing that you won't get Covid in Fiji because it's more isolated is just a wrong premise. Unless they are airlifted all your supplies get, well, supplied to you via direct human contact, no matter how much you try just one small slip/moment of not paying attention can make the difference between being infected and not being infected. And if you do get infected it's better to be located close to a hospital, not literally on an island in the middle of the Pacific.

Just bad decisions all around.

Here's quote: "In retrospect, perhaps it would have been better if SQLite had merely implemented an ANY datatype so that developers could explicitly state when they wanted to use flexible typing, rather than making flexible typing the default. But that is not something that can be changed now without breaking the millions of applications and trillions of database files that already use SQLite's flexible typing feature."

For me it means that SQLite developers admit it was a mistake and should have been implemented differently.

I don't understand why this mistake can't be corrected now, with some opt-in "strict types" pragma, but whatever.

If I ever move back to Australia, I'll have to file US taxes and other reports such as FBAR for the rest of my life. If you get it wrong, they can and have seized up to 50% of your wealth. Not because it's owed, but just as a penalty.

And many Australian financial institutions won't let me open an account because of the reporting requirements.

This isn't just about the rich avoiding taxes. It's about the US overreaching and creating headaches for lots of people.
"And, for an instant, she stared directly into those soft blue eyes and knew, with an instinctive mammalian certainty, that the exceedingly rich were no longer even remotely human."

SQLite doesn't fit perfectly cleanly into this, but, for me, the big distinction is between schema-on-read and schema-on-write. This captures the fact that you always need to have some sort of schema constraint when you're working with data. The question is, do you apply those constraints when you're writing the data, or when you're reading it?

Schema-on-write is useful when you know exactly what the schema should be ahead of time, and it's static. That happens quite often in OLTP and business intelligence applications, but that's not always what you're doing.

Schema-on-read is very useful in those situations where the schema constraints you need can't be known ahead of time, or might vary from situation to situation. At that point you're kind of stuck delaying the schema bits (including making sure everything is an appropriate type) until the last minute. This comes up in, for example, big data applications such as data lakes.
Other big confounding variable: the "experiment" consists mainly of asking people to recall or imagine a times when someone declines to attend something due to lack of time. Most people's life experience is going to include a vast number of invitations declined by a vast number of friends who were doing something else at the time. The experience that springs to mind first is probably an unusually disappointing one.
(cf invitations declined due to cost, which is somewhat rarer. First example that springs to mind is probably something that's very expensive, or someone that is particularly poor or would have a particularly expensive trip to meet up)

I don't think that translates to real world acceptance of financial excuses generally being higher, especially not if you're on a software developer's salary and the invitation is for coffee...
That may or may not be true.

I am now in Israel, where I had much better outcomes than when I was in the US (with excellent insurance). Anecdotal, but I know many stories of Israelis who moved back to Israel with first diagnosis of a serious disease despite a good insurance - mostly because they were aware of horror stories of people losing their insurance at some point and going bankrupt (COBRA is damn expensive, and only lasts 18 month at its longest).

Granted, their experience predates Obamacare - it might be different now.

Does this not encourage spawning a new arms race? New or modified apps that randomly change hashes of multimedia files as they are stored? If the CSAM DB is just simple hashes like sha256, md5/md4, etc.. then evading detection would be trivial. Or would Apple block applications that could rewrite randomized data into files? People don't have to be against CSAM to dislike something scanning their devices and many developers love puzzle challenges. I assume perhaps incorrectly that whatever app is doing the scanning could potentially also accept additional hash DB's, allowing Apple to enable categories to detect on per region. One of the iPhone emulators should facilitate reverse engineering the application.
>"New Zealanders stranded overseas who are desperate to get home deserve answers."

Is New Zealand not even allowing their own citizens to return to their home country?

Either way, as rich as he is; allowing a sick child to enter any country for emergency medical treatment is always the right thing to do in my books.

The whole point of the covid restrictions is to save lives, and they could very well have just save his son's life for all we know.

I am sure that the medevac paramedics and the hospital he was treated in took all of the right precautions to prevent him from spreading covid in New Zealand.

I hope his son is better now.
As the other commenter said, 'The rich will just go to whatever country happens to have the best person to treat the thing they need treating'.

It's essentially impossible to hook a ball you get at the alley. They are made of polyester and just slide across the oil. You also don't have fingertip grips drilled in them.

Pro's and bowling enthusiasts use the same type of ball (but fitted for their hand) for spares. You generally don't want a ball that can hook when trying to pick up a single pin. But strikes, a ball that can recover and angle towards the pocket and "roll over" right as it enters will store much of the energy you put into the ball and release it at just about the right time resulting in better strike odds.
