But if you get no value from PHPStorm you can stop paying for it and you do not lose access unlike a subscription.

You just don't get new features.

My issue is that I do not get £5 worth of value each month from GitKraken. I get value every couple of months, and it is to explain to other people what they are doing wrong rather than direct value for me.
I have the opposite experience, I have had several breakages with Arch in a years time. (without Timeshift - i would have been totally lost how to fix the breakages).

So right now, if i run a system upgrade (pacman -Syu) my system would not boot.

- i had to exclude linux (nvidia,nvidia-utils) from my pacman system upgrade.

- even then most stuff seems to work, except for steam... however, i don't see any log messages that indicate whats wrong.

- so my current conclusion is not to upgrade for another week or so and then try again...

Also, during the gnome 4 transition I had a similar issue that i had to wait "several" updates until the system upgrade wouldn't break my desktop.
But do you need to ship that?

iCloud Backup is a backdoor in the iMessage e2e, and Apple can decrypt all the iMessages. No warrant is required for Apple to do so.

Even with iCloud off, the other endpoint (the phones you're iMessaging with) will be leaking your conversations to Apple because they will still have iCloud Backup defaulted to on.

iMessage is no longer an e2e messenger, and Apple intentionally preserves this backdoor for the FBI and IC.

They access 30,000+ users' data per year without warrants.

I have no intention of building this up to a new language: if you can switch to a new compiler, there are better alternatives. This is for cases where all you have is a C99 (or close to it) compiler or you need to produce plain C code for compilation on a different target machine which might only have C89.

Bitcoin could be the undoing of the regime. It will allow Cubans to accumulate wealth that the regime cannot seize or convert into another worthless Cuban domestic currency. While I like the idea of free health care and education, the idea that a brain surgeon gets paid same as a street cleaner is absurd. Cuba is a series of failed experiments.

> While I like the idea of free health care and education, the idea that a brain surgeon gets paid same as a street cleaner is absurd.

I personally support wealth and income inequality when coupled with social mobility (and a high standard of living at the low end). With that in mind, why do you think it's absurd for both a street cleaner and a brain surgeon to enjoy a middle class lifestyle? I think we both agree neither should be dirt poor, but of course, that's not the only option. I cannot, for one, think of a solid justification. Both do something important, necessary even, and both benefit society at large.

This comes up frequently here when folks balk at Canadian software engineering wages, which are by Canadian standards solid middle class wages. Compared to America it can be a "pittance" but of course, Canada has much lower wealth and income inequality - and it's because there's a much tighter band of compensation.

Fun stuff to think about.

Is this simply because technology exists, or because it is monopolized? I think it's the latter, and it certainly projects a path out of this situation.
The bitcoin part of the piece is based on interviews with 3 people:

1. supposedly buys bitcoin with the funny money the article complains about, leaves unclear where her disposable income comes from and also how people get bitcoin and why they want funny money if they have bitcoin

2. estimates there are hundreds of thousands of bitcoin users in cuba, people get bitcoin sent by family abroad, businesses which want to interface with foreign companies need to use bitcoin

3. this guy uses bitcoin as an uber eats, food delivered to him and other small conveniences, admits it's very early for bitcoin

A) But then you need to install a web server component with your app. (And make sure that starts with it, keep track of that process staying alive, etc.)

B) As was mentioned, I think both in the article itself and several comments here, then you get to contend with the same problem Web devs do: Browser differences.
I have no exposure to the A+ program, so apologies if this is obvious.

A friend's kid right out of high school is going through the Google IT certification program (https://grow.google/programs/it-support/).

Do the programs overlap at all? Is the Google program as useful as the A+? Being newer, is the Google program more relevant to the industry now?
The precedent established by Google et al is that it's okay to scan things that are physically in their data centers. It's far from ideal, but at least it's somewhat common sense in that if you give your data to strangers, they can do unsavory things with it.

The precedent now established by Apple is that it's okay to scan things that are physically in possession of the user. Furthermore, they claim that they can do it without actually violating privacy (which is false, given that there's a manual verification step).
Exercise isn't always aerobic. Resistance and weight training which causes a muscle buildup can help you lose weight because your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) increases while you build more muscle.

Now if you combine aerobic and anaerobic training strategically, while you have your eating habits checked, you can lose that quarantine weight in no time. This is what i am doing now.
What can we do? Automate all of it in a nice interface that does everything for you. Make it as easy as certbot is now. Something like this, perhaps?

I think that "nothing we can do" is an overstatement.

Open-source media players do exist. Projects like VLC have seen worse times when they were banned because of the DVD-decoding ability, for instance.

Hardware is harder, but dumb enough devices keep existing. Industrial displays, simple audio tracts on hobbyist computer boards, etc. Such devices either has no ability to host surveillance processing, or at least can't do so covertly.

Of course, mass consumer devices are not like that. Well, know your risks.
It’s actually much higher amongst adults (>16) the remaining 30% is almost all children under 16. You need to take that into account when trying to interpret the statistics otherwise you fall into your current trap. It’s still mostly adults getting infected.

I quoted the Chief Epidemiologist’s most recent statement on the facts of the matter in Iceland in the comment you initially replied to but will do so again:

> “Diagnosis of infection is three-times more likely in the non-vaccinated than the vaccinated, the likelihood of hospital admission is some four-times higher, and the frequency of intensive care is five times more common in the non-vaccinated than the vaccinated. So, we are seeing that vaccination is protecting against infection and especially against serious illness, which should be a spur to everyone to get vaccinated who has not been vaccinated so far,” Þórólfur said.”

Literally out of the mouth of the people gathering and using these statistics.

Auto parsing query into objects of various types is scary indeed. This could break for all kinds of legitimate or malicious user input if you were not aware of it. There is an option called “query parser” which can be set to false to disable it globally.

Having a format for such data was probably a good idea but when it’s not defined by http and thus inconsistent across frameworks (php does similar parsing, but differently), and doesn’t have an easy way to access the raw string, I’d just stick to json for complex data.

Maybe the assumption is that one should use route parameters instead.
,,Netflix could very clearly see the writing on the wall, that the DVD-by-mail business needed to morph into a streaming business.''

I don't argue with your point, but actually Reed Hastings originally created Netflix the DVD rental company so that he could turn it into a movie streaming company. He had to wait for internet to be fast enough. His interview with Reid Hoffman is pretty cool:

My family recently had norovirus ("winter" vomitting bug), which for healthy adults is pretty much nothing other than being stuck on the toilet for a day (as I was). My 2 yo however was in hospital for nearly a week on an IV because of this.

As soon as my wife realised it wasn't just simple vomitting she called a doctor and they told us to go to hospital, so we were there within 3 hours of the first episode. My wife stayed with them in hospital, but because of corona I wasn't allowed to see them - which wasn't particularly nice for me and I'm sure was very traumatic for our kid.

We have all recovered now, but yes it's somewhat surprising how quickly young kids can go downhill.

This is mistaken. If you turn off iCloud sync, Apple isn't continuously scanning your phone.

I don't understand what you mean by "fall into your current trap". If I understand correctly, nearly the entire adult population of Iceland has been vaccinated, and yet since July Iceland is experiencing the most COVID cases it ever has. What am I missing?

That fact alone doesn't bode well for the hope of vaccination reducing the number of COVID infections.

Regarding the comparison between vaccination rates and infection rates: if the rates of infection are equal among children and adults, and vaccination doesn't affect the chance of infection, we'd expect about 30% of the cases to be among unvaccinated children, which isn't far from the current number. Unfortunately that page doesn't break down current infections by age, but that should be considered.
I strongly disagree with this assertion.

I have no reasoning. It’s just clear to me that it is true (though I don’t expect or need anyone to agree)

I wonder how Covid compares to the bubonic plague. It remains endemic in some parts of Asia (so not disappeared), it is zoonotic (rodents, even cute squirrels in some parts of the US), killed off something like 1/3rd of Europe’s population, and... is generally a non-event nowadays.

Not a pretty comparison if valid, of course. But that was what would be a nightmare scenario for Covid: letting the disease rip through a populous continent. And yet it burnt out eventually, over the course of 7 years, according to Wikipedia.

For the most part, anyway. Bubonic plague outbreaks continued for centuries, but never again was there a continent-wide pandemic.
GitHub Introduced New Authentication System for Git Operations
> The worst part is: how do I put my money where my mouth is? ..., debugging wifi drivers and tirelessly trying to make resume-from-suspend work?

Coincidentally, this is actually a good idea. Apart from using supported hardware (that others have checked actually works), contributing fixes for hardware that's not officially supported yet and hasn't been tested would benefit everyone in the future!

I remember having to dig through GitHub to find a repository that had the network drivers for my off-brand Chinese/Polish netbook (i'm somewhat poor and/or frugal) and they actually worked and turned a system that would otherwise not have any network connectivity into my daily driver for note taking. Now, the fact that i couldn't automate this lookup process and that there's nothing out there that lets you check for these drivers more easily (think something along the lines of https://appdb.winehq.org/ but for drivers) or maybe try multiple ones in a row, was disappointing because things felt needlessly hard. However, actually contributing or using the work of others isn't that much of a problem.

And, since the whole ecosystem is pretty much open, there's nothing actually keeping one from at least trying to address these problems for their particular configuration, apart from needing to learn how to do so. In a sense, working on open source is exactly putting your money where your mouth is, even if it's just alternative costs.
The 'man in the oke' and other bugaboos (2019)
Apple is putting a backdoor in the phones to legitimately frame anyone they want. The commenter's claims are valid and in my opinion not limited those.
It’d go really well for the government. You’d just end up with a lot of dead hams. Disorganised morons with AR15’s vs professional army. I know who wins that one.
I don't think this is name dropping and obvious that it wasn't sufficiently protected. These cases seems trivial, but they are certainly governmental abuse. In a perfect world, there would be consequences. Not for the officers but for those requesting the raid.

And I suppose you yourself are not at all a self appoiunted internet expert with your broad and highly charged range of opinions without a single clear cut reference backing any of them up?

Worth noting as well is that you're trying to assert a negative without evidence-based substance as part of your particularly alarmist discourse. In effect: We don't know that COVID doesn't cause X list of aweful long term things I just mentioned, though no evidence so far indicates that it does, we should just assume it does however in order to push for a bunch of harsh and punitive measures against those with any skeptical take.

> the Trump executive order from December 2020 merely sets up the legal framework to prohibit exports if desired.

Not how I understood it. But it seems you're right, the US only used war time powers to force companies to fill their orders first. The effect is quiet similar, the EU (not even UK) employed such powers.

In either case, it was argued that this made negotiations easier for US.

And yes, it's a fair point that it didn't matter, because the US would have bought the vaccines at whatever price point :)

> Except Italy as I mentioned, blocking export of vaccine to Australia that the latter had paid for.

Fair point :)

> ... and because the aforementioned collective effort was delayed relative to the US and UK

The UK (and probably the US) invested in supporting research, but EU closed contracts for vaccine purchases sooner.
(I suspect the EU also sponsored research, but didn't attach strings the same way the UK did)

-----

To be clear, I don't think I would argue that the EU did fantastically well here. Nor that it couldn't have done much better. Namely because it doesn't have a powerful administration, like the US does.
(I'm not arguing that it should have one)

Whether or not all this was unfair is hard to tell. Lots of countries poured money into R&D.
(Also not sure how relevant it is).

But it is a bit funny that the EU largely let the free market forces play out, while the US didn't.
Alright, so let's do counterfactuals. IBM ignores the microcomputer, what's the world of say 1995 look like?

Appliance style smart tvs? LCD screen based landlines? Maybe a world of GRiD or GO computing tablets with Penpoint OS running on the AT&T hobbit processor? Jerry Kaplan never writing his seminal book on the affair and the word "startup" never being widely used?

Canon and Brother having smarter word processors that take on the role of family computer? Everything run by Apple? Steve Jobs never getting muscled out and Omron introducing their Luna 88k to the US market, eating up the megabyte/megapixel/megapenny market that Jobs dreamed of?

Nolan Bushnell never selling Atari and starting Chuck E Cheese? The 1982 video game crash never happening? Acorn flooding the American market with their Arm machines running RiscOS and then getting their ass kicked by Amiga?

Quarterdeck DESQview taking off and being eaten up by Digital Research's GEM? RadioShack being the world's most valuable tech corporation with a stranglehold on every vertical in the industry only to finally get taken down by Be Inc? Ted Nelson's Xanadu running on Alan Kay's Dynabook with Jef Raskin doing the design?

Microsoft continuing to focus on video games and releasing an 8 bit competitor to the NES that could be used on Control Video Corporation's network who never pivots and changes their name to AOL? Gates snatches up the ID software crew who writes Doom and Wolfenstein 3D as Microsoft projects and Bill Gates is talked about in the same breath as John Carmack and Shigeru Miyamoto?

Meanwhile Gary Kildall, famed maker of CP/M becomes the richest man in the world and public enemy #1 in DOJ monopoly trials of the late 90s after he steals the top secret project OS/2 from IBM and clones it out from under them in project Windy City?

No, they could enact repressive measures because they had almost absolute power. The form that oppression took would obviously rely on the then current technology, but the fundamental enabler of oppression was power, not technology.
I agree with this take, but the slippery slope arguments do make sense, as exemplified by any spying technology ever. Once a capability exists, it's too enticing not to continue expanding the scope.
