From a quick skim, it certainly looks like advanced mathematics is at use, but control theorists that deal with nonlinear systems have been using this kind of formalism already. Lie groups are even used in robotics to write down kinematics of serial chains.
And, if I recall correctly, in the '90s, you had to pay for developer tools for Windows. (Or Mac, but Windows was, indeed, mostly your choice in a computer.) Today, every mainstream computer shipped—Mac and Windows—has a dizzying variety of free-as-in-beer development environments available for them, many also free-as-in-freedom.
You are raising an excellent point, which is not only the question of operations, but also how it is to be a customer among robots. We know, for example, that one of the most common accidents of self driving cars is being rear-ended.
Problematic. Corrosion will be up, as will damage from insects and vermin.

Another approach: no green plants but mist the panels with clean water. Evaporation will cool them too. In fact its probably how the plants are doing it.
I’m looking at spending 100k to bring a property up to fire code, and possibly rebuilding the floor. Until that happens, I won’t be able to move in. So, yes, buildings do become obsolete at the whim of some other entity.
It is a prison. They don't go home after their shift. Calling the cell blocks "dorms" doesn't make it not a prison.
For more information, the parent PDF describes a similar process using reflection discovered in China.

If you cast and polish a bronze mirror with raised letters/shapes on the back, the very slight deformations caused by polishing over the different thicknesses will create an image in the reflected caustics, despite the fact that the mirror appears smooth when using it as a mirror.
Good thing the MIT AI Lab couldn't fire RMS for being negligent about not continuing to maintain TECO Emacs, which so many people were using every day all over the ARPANET for years, and going on to learn from its mistakes and making Gnu Emacs with LISP implemented in C instead of TECO implemented in PDP-10 assembly.

Or are you still using WordStar on CP/M, so you don't care about all that progress stuff?
If after a 3000 year headstart it was unable to resist being colonized by some upstart, they must have been doing something pretty wrong.
> I want to know why these folks won't LEAVE shitty redneck states and head to places with more opportunity

I'm not american, nor do I know much about the states, but at a guess I'd say it comes down to 3 things:

1. Cost of living (I could be wrong, but I imagine these states are cheaper to live in, and moving is often a massive expense in itself)

2. Lack of applicable skills (if you grew up in an area which produces mainly farmers for example, and you move to an area which produces mainly programmers, you're going to have a tough time finding work)

3. Culture (For you these may be "shitty redneck states", but I wouldnt find it suprising at all if the people that live there consider the bigger liberal states the shitty ones. Again US culture isn't a strong point for me so this is just a guess).
I assume they aren't aware of them as the NSO Group won't disclose them.
If you have "contractors" in Germany, what you are describing is social insurance fraud. I would be surprised if France doesn't have rules like that.
Is that what we were doing in Afghanistan? We
were there to build a democracy of institutions?
Or were we there to pillage a country?

I'm not a fan of the US' occupation of Afghanistan, and I don't think the US was there for some sort of higher ideal... but, pillage? It's not a country from which there is much wealth to extract.

Of course, the US military-industrial complex profited nicely. That's not quite the same as pillaging, though.
> _Ensure that etags is compulsorily bundled with emacs, I am remembering that in a few distro's etags missing despite installing the emacs package._

My understanding is that Exuberant Ctags provides an etags binary, as well, and you're likely to want to use it as it supports more languages. Maybe Debian (and its derivatives) can make use of the "alternatives" system to redirect etags to the "best" installed version. Or the one the user prefers :-)
You can cancel or return it. Money is a signal every company has to pay attention to.
The average consumer only wants to purchase the cross-section between what is the cheapest and works the best. For most consumers Open Source is not a feature.
On the one hand, the west seems to think that people have a fundamental right to protest and affect change in government, because, yeah, democracy, will of the majority and all that.

On the other hand, if you let democracy get a foothold in many of the muslim-majority states, the winner of a democratic process will very likely be what the west perceives as a religious fundamentalist group whose values are antithetical to almost every single value that the west holds dear (including democracy itself). It will mean the rise of groups such as the muslim brotherhood that have pan-islamism and the establishment of sharia as their stated goals.

So you can either support the right of the people to overthrow an authoritarian regime and establish a democratic process that will lead to a fundamentalist islamic state, or you can support a regime that is authoritarian but will allow the practice of some western liberal values.

Which is it, and why?
This seems like the more sensible approach - to understand/learn how to protect ourselves from malaria/dengue/etc. rather than gene-drive systems to eradicate (certain types of?) mosquitoes.
Not to dump on this service in particular, but there are a lot of "No Code / Low Code" platforms out there, and many of them miss the mark on their intended audience.

If the intended audience is non-technical users who don't know how to code, then it makes sense to allow them to do things without code. Essentially, you're acting as a declarative interface, where the user tells you what they want done, and they don't have to worry about how you do it at the code level.

But if the intended audience is technical, and users do know how to code, then in general what they really want is to write code more efficiently -- that is, write less boilerplate code -- not to have all the code abstracted away. Because they know that abstractions leak.

In the case of a service to build REST APIs, where the intended audience is more technical, my guess is that what most devs desire is not to introduce another service layer into their application, but to be able to easily generate all the boilerplate and then easily modify it to fit their use cases.
> It's unfair to demand all costs from content generation to hosting to be borne by the "owners."

That's, like, your opinion... man...!

> For the web to work better, we need more aligned incentives, not to disregard the understandable demand of creators of websites and services to get somehow compensated.

I disagree. I think of the web and the internet like art. Nearly all of the (arguably) best art was produced without compensation.

> Also, even when websites are built without any intention of monetization, there are still goals which the creators want to achieve.

Yes, but financial gain shouldn't be the primary motivator. When it is then it has a tendency to corrupt everything.

> Lots of people are making all kinds of websites.

Great!

> Some want to be paid and that's fine.

Not so great!
Also, you probably don’t have the right to make your own mobile modem unless you’re fine with it needing its own car battery and alternator thanks to Qualcomm’s patents.
less capitalism, but the concept of having everything handeled by private enterprise that is for-profit. With prices set 'by thr market' is sorta what happened here.
> As a slave. He couldn't quit, and wasn't paid.

That's not what the article said - he could at any time choose the jail option. See my previous reply upthread for why that may not be viable.

TLDR: We need more information: what was the sentence length for the jail option and what was the sentence length for the chicken farm option.
> Also, European culture is slightly different: most people consider a startup failure as something bad that you drag along for the rest of your career.

This is a major issue in Japan too AFAIK. Working for a big corporation or the government is still considered superior to entrepreneurship, and failing at a company brings a lot of shame.

Without permission to fail, it's impossible to succeed. As Elon Musk put it: "we're gonna have to blow up some rockets."

I've wondered if the most significant innovation of the past 500 years and the one that led to our historic technological and economic explosion of progress wasn't just limited liability companies.

In the past to do anything big you had to either be already rich (vastly limiting the pool), find a patron (again a small pool), or borrow money. In the old days borrowing was basically loan sharking. You'd end in prison, dead, or at best shamed and broken for the rest of your life if you failed to repay with interest.

All that meant very few people could take risks, so very little innovation.

Limited liability allows vastly more people to take risks. Yes it does lead to abuse, fraud, and waste, but it also leads to a huge amount of innovation since people have permission to take risks and fail and then recover.

Failure at something like a startup still comes with costs. If you (the founder) are not a narcissist or a psychopath it will probably come with emotional costs like a feeling of failure and a feeling of having let people down. But it doesn't ruin your life, blackball you from your career, or land you in prison.
At this point I'm sure it's a joke, but I still don't get it.
> In general, I think all forms of justice in the west are based on free will being true. If some form of determinism is true, then "punishment" doesn't make sense.

Isn't that backwards? Believing that someone is inherently bad is effectively equal to them having no free will and their fate being determined. You can swap out "born with an evil soul" for "genetic predisposition and early environmental factors".

If you really did replace the judicial system with one based on the view that free will does not exist, would the solution to habitual criminals be to simply separate them from the rest of society for life since they have no ability to determine their own actions? If instead you think they can be externally influenced by rehabilitation then how is this different from having a compassionate view of criminal behaviour that could include free will? Having free will doesn't mean that a person will always make the correct choice or even the moral choice, we're limited and imperfect after all.
In a society where there's a cure for aging, dying of old age would be regarded the same way as we would think today of a person who dies of a bacterial infection by refusing to take antibiotics. Yet bacterial infections used to be inevitably deadly for most of the human history.
Consumer protection law is the tool that allows that to happen.
BTW there is no law in Japan about shutter sound, makers are following the consensus by their own will (don’t want to be the only ones to not follow)

This is usually just a trivia, but in these cases it’s informative on what length makers feel obligated to go to protect that shutter sound part. Which is, not much in general.

If you use a foreign SIM card it won’t follow that rule, same for some of the capture modes, etc.
"Re-locking the bootloader does make the camera work again, which indicates that it’s more of a software-level obstacle. With root access, it could be possible to detect and modify the responsible parameters sent by the bootloader to the OS to bypass this restriction."
The trouble with ivermectin is that it doesn't do anything for covid what was indicated in multiple studies.
I consider such articles to be "test balloons" for ideas. If they encounter too much resistance, there is plausible deniability. If no, the idea creeps forward to a more formal setting.
Yeah, in my opinion this is by far the biggest one. The rest of list are either non-issues, or they're annoying but you can deal with them (and there's often arguments on both sides).

Han unification, on the other hand, is a disaster for Unicode. The fact that Unicode can't comfortably mix Chinese and Japanese language characters is a disaster for an encoding like Unicode that's supposed to cover the whole world.
Somehow I have a feeling that each passing day, things are getting tighter and tighter and private corporation and government institutions are getting more controlling and totalitarian.
That feeling like slowly being boiled into 1984.
Points one by one:
- If you believe sky cluttering isn't a problem, I can't argue against that. I believe it's much bigger problem, than metallic wires across land fields. Just because metal wires are localized, but tens of thousands satellites, are all flying above OUR heads (yes, mine included, while I don't live in a country where I have a word to say about Elon's narcissistic dreams).

- 4G works awesomely. There are already satellite internet providers if you live in such rural area, they offers up to 50mbps bandwidth, for 50$ monthly

- Huh? So you believe that 3rd world country is not able to build 4/5G towers, but their citizens are somehow able to pay monthly fees for internet to an American billionaire? Or maybe the fees will be somehow so low that 1$ per day will be plenty enough to pay for satellite infrastructure? Wait, for satellite infrastructure that needs to be replaced every 5 years? How does your math works? You are completely delusional.

- Not running windows, but I disgress. My point is to compare today available satellites, to SpaceX sattelites. You are comparing on different time periods, while I am not. Those 20 years serving ARE still made today! Your comparison is invalid.
Europe might not be one country, but in Europe, you have many very high level education systems and no restrictions on travel and work(within the EU). This leads to mind and culture share between some very bright people, European start ups are the companies I have worked with which had the most efficient and impressive work flows, coordination and motivation.

I think this is an advantage compared to the unified systems like China.

I can't speak for Chinese companies, but I have peeked around on job review sites to get some insights and what i have seen is....different.

I have also worked at some of the largest us companies, they are very good, but also a bit different.

All of them can lead to success, i don't think one is better than the other.
Apple will never publicly admit to the possibility of rooting their devices, especially not to allow bypassing DRM: they'd lose all their friends in Hollywood overnight.
XDA has gonna from the go to site for Android related everything. To an ad website.

If you don't have a blocker like pihole or something similar, it is unusable on mobile.
There are so many other trading blocs out there, why not compare them? Eu itself has some of the largest economies of the world. It does seem almost unfair.

China's large size and huge population not necessarily an automatic recipe for success. As a matter of fact, other than USA, almost of all large countries with huge population are generally economic and quality of life failures.

On the top of my minds I can think of, Russia, India, Brazil, Pakistan, Mexico all doing pretty shitty job, relatively speaking.
This would make sense if I had the tools to unweave and reweave a t-shirt but the manufacturer has added additional wire in a cross pattern to specifically prevent this.

Apple actively design their products to not allow you to reconfigure them even if you have the tooling. The shirt manufacturers do not prevent me from taking a old shirt and making oil rags from the fabric.

I know what you mean and... I don't know. I work in a big company, in an industry where I ask myself moral questions quite often and I know if I'm faced with or if I learn of a sketchy or immoral thing, I'll be sure to talk loudly about it, and feel like I could be heard. But if it were to have no effect, I'd try to vote with my feet asap, but there's also kids to feed etc. I'd sure be less motivated and would be looking for an out. Bye bye Highly invested collaborator, hello 9-5-fuck-you-pay-me.

I wasn't saying one team would steer the ship, but rather that the culture of opensource also lives inside Xilinx and I'll take any progress I can. Especially on such emergent tech and after the pains of closed-source AI toolkits and even inside Xilinx, the pain of using their DPU/VITIS-AI offer: oh you want to do X? Too bad, the IP can't be changed or touched (and is or will even be encrypted? Woa).
They're not connecting to the WiFi because that implicitly blocks DHCPDISCOVER.
It's not clear from the article that the drug dealer sold drugs for bitcoins. It seems a little more likely that he converted money into bitcoins, and the authorities didn't know how to trace the proceeds through a fungible asset. This is literally the definition of money laundering.
I'm assuming that you meant mW everywhere you wrote W.
Apple is already half way there to be honest.
Not sure what you mean; is the formatting hard to read, or do you mean the content?
That’s definitely not the story they sold investors
Ultimately, human desire to control and measure other humans is not limited to totalitarian regimes. On the contrary, totalitarian regimes grow out of this naturally occurring phenomenon.

We should be a bit vigilant about such concepts creeping into freer societies. They will usually do so either under guise of combating crime, or increasing efficiency. But there is no freedom without some slack.
With various right-to-repair legislation popping up everywhere, I am not so sure.

Software restrictions are one way to ensure planned obsolescence.
There’s nothing to pillage in Afghanistan except heroin. If there were things would have probably gone better because at least there would have been a point.
The solution would be to self-host, right? Agreed AWS would still be a concern, but I can't help you there!

If anyone is actually worried about AWS, you can also run the app locally with docker.
If it falls under a church / religious organization they're tax exempt.

Pay no wages, pay no taxes, but still get paid? Triple win.
It's for Chromecast, not Airplay.
With that amount of money can't they invest in house hosting?
If the state of Linux on desktops is anything to go by, Linux on smartphones will never be a success story either. I frequently regret buying a ThinkPad with AMD CPU/GPU after listening to the propaganda about open source GPU drivers. My laptop was basically a paperweight for a month until I downgraded linux-firmware package. No one wants to deal with this shit.
>Ask all the people who move here, they generally will be a lot more optimistic about the US.

Here's the top 10 countries of origin for immigration to the US in 2018 (before COVID). We can assume people who immigrate to the US do it for a better life than the country they came from. Notice there aren't any "developed" countries in this list. Care to guess what that says about the US?

Mexico - 161,858,
Cuba - 76,486,
China - 65,214,
India - 59,821,
Dominican Republic - 57,413,

Haiti - 21,360,
Jamaica - 20,347

> Men who were injured while at CAAIR rarely receive long-term help for their injuries. That’s because the program requires all men to sign a form stating that they are clients, not employees, and therefore have no right to workers’ comp. Reveal found that when men got hurt, CAAIR filed workers’ comp claims and kept the payouts. Injured men and their families never saw a dime.

I read this reportage years ago and it made my blood boil. For some reason, of all stories of everyday injustice, this stuck with me. My mind often goes back to this case like some sort of mental titinnus. These judges and factory owners have NAMES and ADDRESSES. They need to be REMINDED that all of this can be taken away.
That's not true. We have regulations for a reasons, and businesses have to abide by them.
454 million MAU, so about $0.88 per year per user. Not a terrible deal by any stretch.
AA is at least not explicitly Christian - everything is phrased in terms of a nonspecific "higher power".
Its so ironic to see 'freedom people' defend a system that would make Stalin green with envy.

"saw the deal on offer and decided they were better off taking it that walking"

The same reasoning applies to loan sharks, drug dealers and mafia. 'Unlimited' free market always degrades into oligopoly or Mafia rule.

"you want a small group of "our betters" to decide what exactly a mobile device should be"

You want that, and you have that- a small group of powerfull men decide to do with your device. Tomorrow your device uodates and startps reporting you to police for speeding, and there is fuck all you can do.

I am not asking for a communist mobile pgone comitee, I am asking for the word ownership to mean something. It's not a difficult concept.
System76 has some nice Workstation options. You're looking for Thick and capable of Moving Dat Air correct?

I got a Serval I thoroughly enjoy. Even with a 2070 and a Ryzen 3950. I'm not sure as to whether they've got any more up to date AMD offerings slated for the 5xxx line of Ryzen's and 3xxx Nvidia cards; but if they deliver the same build quality, come upgrade time, I know who I'll be looking into for purchasing from. Had no issues with my blowtorch yet.

Bonus point: the cats are more than content to sleep behind or beside it instead of on the keyboard.
Well, except for Paris, Berlin, Venice, Madrid, etc etc

"Has big streets" or "car dominant" isn't the monoculture of the US that people from Europe notice. It is the exact same chain of shops, restaurants, same style of clothes, same TV shows, same music, same brands of cars. If I go to a nearby city all this stuff is the same.

If I'm in Belgium and drive 3 hours I end up with different language, food, styles of dress, music. Apart from a few token multinationals the shops and restaurants are all different. Architecture is different. And the same story if I'm in Vienna, or Zurich, or Berlin, or Lisbon. Language, food, restaurants, shops, work culture, all different.
> I haven't investigated if there was a rationale to save two codepoints, but handling documents that contain an unknown mix of Turkish and other languages becomes rather weird.

The main reason is probably that ISO-8859-9 / Windows-1254 already only had a single I and i so it would be impossible to know which Unicode character to convert them to. Still might be worth it to add your suggested codepoints though so that uppercase/lowercase that is not locale-aware can at least work correctly for new text.
Can anyone suggested a good eth/BTC processing stack that they've used? I'm planning on making a way out for NSFW creators.
