I’ve heard good things about MicroTik. Not as consumer-friendly as Uniquiti Unifi, but solid engineering from a company that seems to really understand networking at the 1/2.5/10/25/40 Gig Ethernet scale for anything from SOHO to small/medium size businesses.

Don’t have any personal experience with them, however.
It sounds like it is amazing we are all still using the IP stack to communicate.
> I'm not sure Netflix would agree that a low monthly subscription is not enough to fund TV and movie development, but regardless..

Okay, and what stops my competing company from running a subscription service, where I take all the shows that Netflix funded, and streaming to my customers for lower monthly price than Netflix’s, which I can do, as I don’t spend a dollar on content creation and acquisition? Oh, that’s right, copyright stops me from doing that.

The correct thing to do would be to say that they need cleaning not that they’re broken.

Much like the right to repair the problem here is that the manufacturer is lying, it’s just that the lie is slightly different.
Really. So if I copy the credit cards out of a database and put them on Pastebin, I've done nothing blameworthy, so long as I myself don't try to buy anything with them? Do you have an argument against enforcing criminal copyright laws that would be persuasive to someone who doesn't believe that?
A corporation like Apple has by definition a conflicting view on upholding the law. They have financial interests, and putting someone with that in charge of identity (and therefore all freedom rights) is the definition of as corruptable as possible.

Apple cannot be trusted as long as they even don't give a damn on paying taxes. They only give a damn about the law when it fits their financial agenda.
And copy how Ruby on Rails was promoted. It worked.
I think the emotional issues are from pushing to hard. There is a time and place for idleness and like sleeping it helps organize the brain and emotions therefore it is highly productive. Cut enough of it and everything you do or make seems to suck - because it does.
The author needs to spend some time in one of the many economic wastelands of the world. Many forms of material scarcity are just around the corner as the consequences of global warming start become apparent. Add to that stupid exercises such as Brexit and you now have additional, real economic scarcity due to an exodus of European skilled labour. Scarcity of attention doesn't come into it.
I got a philosophy degree 10+ years ago and have been yearning to go back ever since and at least get a graduate degree, even though I know employment prospects are dismal in academia. Definitely loved my time studying philosophy and found it super worthwhile.

I don't know why people cite Searle. The "Chinese Room Metaphor" is the only real reason people cite him, and it has such clear and obvious flaws that I suspect the only reason it got any attention at all is that it's fun to poke holes in.

This isn't even a question of repair. Mostly what they need is a tool that gives them human readable error messages so they can correct whatever minor issue that they'd be told to correct with a service call.
How do you apply this to something beyond undergrad ? I mean like learning new concepts (like DNSSEC, NAMESPACES)
Meh. Almost everywhere there is a surplus of labor, the market finally began to correct in the US and people are misinterpreting it as a shortage.
If the Democrats really believe that their opponents organized a coup then the US has bigger problems ahead.

It is possible that the Republican members encouraged a political protest that unfortunately turned violent and got out of hand but that is not a coup and is no worse than the Democrats fundraising to bail out BLM rioters.

I'm highly interested in this in my move away from Apple. I have a 2015 MBP 15" that needs replacing and the biggest challenge I see for this to fit the bill is that I'd prefer a 15" to a 13" and to have a better keyboard. I can live with the keyboard it has, because I usually carry a 60% mechanical keyboard with me anyway.

Are there any plans for a 15"? Are there any plans for a Ryzen option? Would love Ryzen + 32GB of RAM + a PCI-E 4.0 nVME drive, would be a nice performance boost.
That doesn’t match my experience in over four decades of living and working in the south.

Would someone be able to help me understand what is 'Libre Cloud'? Even if your code is released under AGPL or something like that what guarantee do you get that software running and not that plus a tiny delta? So how can cloud be libre when I cannot treat it as nothing but untrusted 3rd party entity? Is the argument here that opendesktop.org is a trusted party?
Open source is everyday getting more corporate-like. In the old times people would create open source as a hobby, nowadays they're just thinking on how this will appear on the resume.
Too much narrative and too little facts. I don’t care how much the journalist hates space travel, just get to the point. All that rumble means, he personally believes that “a more risky” correction for a red light was taken because the pilot was afraid of Branson being angry.

> It's not hard to see how piracy threatens the entire business model. You can have rampant piracy or you can have financially sustainable content production. You cannot have both.

The idea behind a copyright is to have The People temporarily forfeit their innate right to communicate art, ideas, and stories in order to stimulate an industry of artists and scientists.

If the business model depends on people not copying your data then you can always sue for relief in the courts. Get damages, hooray. But criminal copyright infringement seems like a big stretch. Maybe worthy of fines or public service but imprisonment? Extradition to another country for potential imprisonment? Seems totally backwards.
Not OP, but I image they are more projects that span multiple teams, disciplines, and stakeholders.

There's nothing (unless it hasn't been invented yet) that can't be implemented in software in a silo given infinite time, but the ability to deliver complex solutions to difficult business/process problems that require buy in and coordination from a lot of people are probably these kinds of projects, particularly if these projects are alterations or additions to other pieces of complex processes that already exist and are hardened but need improvement or overhaul.

Here's an example from my work. We use a legacy version control system alongside git. This causes tons of issues and the way forward would be to deprecate the legacy version control, but doing so without disrupting current engineering work and making tangible improvements going forward is a very complex task that spans a whole lot of teams and is risky and tricky to implement

Patients can report adverse events. Even suspected adverse events can/should be reported. This is how rare side effects can be identified and evaluated. A single report of tinnitus is unlikely to be flagged, but 10,000 reports? Absolutely.

Yeah I wasn't being precise sorry. The agency stub's similarities to our world felt too "on the nose" or similar, in a way that detracted from it being an accurate/enthralling depiction of our world (in the way that all sf is no matter when/where it's set). It's hard to phrase what I mean here but I think the countryside/suburbia might have something to do with it. "2060s USA: The Department of Homeland Security is an oppressive militia and also one of very few sources of stable employment" felt much more real and powerful than "Kinda 201X USA: Trump didn't win, but now there's a nuclear standoff" but I can't say why exactly. There is still a lot of classic Gibson prose in Agency though--the good stuff. High hopes for the new book.
Also, for low profile keycaps you can get them on Novel Keys. I don't think anyone else makes low profile compatible keycaps, but that's one of the trade-offs for using low profile switches.
Group think here appears to be that apps are not retail products. What are they? Services? Group think here is also that Adobe is evilCorp #1 because of their software as a service model vs a single purchase. Yet that goes contrary to the app devs wanting to constantly hit the user for in-app purchases. It's software as a service in a different manner, but still gotta keep paying to keep using.

App devs should have an honest conversation with the devs of pre-app days. You had to have a release completed so that it could be sent to the facilities to make the dis[c|k]s. These had to be way more complete than today with the ability to 100% re-download the actual product that has had extra time to complete. There's also the cost involved in getting those physical objects made. Today's app devs have it so much easier, and yet want so much more.
Your plan literally never works. It simply never works. It’s a lovely theory that in the real world doesn’t yield results.

You get shit like Nikola, like Theranos - all that had sophisticated accredited investors looking at the books, not just randos, and look how that turned out. Ones dead and the other is pushing cars down hills in PR stunts worth billions in market cap.

The directionality around regulation is clear: without it, rivers caught fire. Then we got environmental regulations and lo and behold, no river fire. The idea that customers can just police the environment is equally baseless. Customers aren’t experts in finance or the environment. That’s why we delegate the work to a group of experts who are.

Banks are too important to yolo. Retailers can get their risk on elsewhere.
Let me chime in. I shouldn't, considering I only got a minor in philosophy alongside a major in computer science, and graduated less than five years ago, but here we go.

The core question of philosophy is: how to appreciate life? What is our responsibility? How should we act? These are vital questions. Everybody engages with them in some way. Everybody learns philosophy in some way, the vast majority of learnings have no explicit connection to any religion or philosophical writings. Real life teaches you philosophy.

This list, and the philosophy curriculum, has issues. For one, it's not the best way to learn critical thinking. It's better to learn math proofs. Truth tables, contra-positive, breaking things out into cases, induction. For two, western philosophy rarely provides actual answers. It asks more paralyzing questions than provides answers. Don't get me wrong, there are many beautiful things in many of the books - what I'm saying is that they don't equip you to recognize their value.. none of them give you the full picture. If you read these books, you will find that very few books will claim to present the full and complete truth. That's because they don't. They are incomplete.

I believe true philosophy is more psychological, pragmatic, and spiritual than most of the philosophy curriculum would teach you. What are thoughts? What is productive vs not productive uses of time? etc.

After I graduated with my minor in philosophy I read a book called Be Here Now. It discusses common aspects of many spiritual traditions. I also read some of the books in the bibliography of Be Here Now -- Tao Te Ching, some Hindu/yoga books, some Christian books. Today I am an Eastern Orthodox Christian. In Orthodoxy we understand Wisdom to be another way of talking about Christ. That's philosophy after all - philo sophia - love of wisdom. I can attest that the orthodox church has the fullness of truth and all the answers to any questions I have. It is the true philosophy.
Influential Ivermectin Study Accused of 'Faked' Data
> How come there's a lot of buzz around ML but we grossly fall short when it comes to deployed ML in real world applications (especially in certain industries). There are many reasons for this, including but not limited to:

> data: not enough of the right data.

> cost: the data, compute, storage and talent resources needed for ML allow mostly large companies to benefit from it.

> utility: most ML content you see online are gimmicky tasks that can't extend into valuable real world applications.

> trust: ML needs to be engineered reliably and robustly.

This is a very honest take on ML / AI. I work in blockchain and what drives me crazy is that crypto / blockchain has delivered huge, tangible successes and value (measured easily and accurately via real-time prices) but the HN cognoscenti orgasms over ML and considers blockchain a scam.

IMO the situation is flipped - crypto is proving its success in a massive, revolutionary way while ML / AI is pretty stagnant at delivering world-changing products. It's cool that bots are sorting and picking at the warehouse but the value has been overstated by many orders of magnitude (thus far).

ML is a tool in a box right now, one of many that can potentially solve a class of problems, but it isn't (yet) a paradigm shift in how businesses operate.
I don't know, I didn't look. I read the indictment on PACER; it's probably on RECAP or whatever now. I could give you the offense statutes, I guess; you'd then have to look them up in the sentencing guidelines yourself.

> Even if your code is released under AGPL or something like that what guarantee do you get that software running and not that plus a tiny delta?

An interesting question: How do you verify the code running in the 'cloud'?

And to rehash an old but relevant point: Practically, you don't know if local FLOSS software is the same as its released code, and you don't even review the code so it doesn't matter, to a degree. You are still operating on trust to some degree. But with local FLOSS software, someone else might review it, which seems difficult for hosted cloud software.
All of his companies are about reducing risk to humanity.
This isn't the right lesson to derive from this. These benchmarks show that the high performance cores pack a lot of smarts which can maintain high performance with idomatic Swift.

Idiomatic Swift is still great for code which doesn't have significant performance consequences and/or is likely to only ever run on the Firestorm cores—i.e. any user-interactive process.

If you're writing a background task which is expected to have some non-negligible load on the CPU, it could make sense to experiment with simpler C-style coding for the hottest loops in your code.
It sounds to you like nothing short of fully self-hosted fits the bill? I think it's pretty clear what they're doing: Libre SaaS.

Of course you have to trust them with anything going in clear-text on their servers. But you don't have the vendor lock-in you'd have with proprietary alternatives. It can be a great bridge between Google/Apple/Microsoft/etc and self-managed, if nothing else.
You're right, my error. I've updated my comment to note that, though I've left my error standing.

I was thinking of the subsequent Abrams case (only a few months later in 1919) where Holmes departed from the Majority. That disagreement became the Great Dissent (and recent-ish book of the same title).

If I can somewhat cover for myself: Holmes in Schenck, and yes, writing for the majority, offered the "fire in a crowded theatre" hypothetical as not deserving protection.

Again: partiall overturned later in Brandenburg (1969).

My point remains that I'm not actually using Holme's hypo but one derived from it, and again, with a direct-gain motive added to that.

One very small (but real) risk of the RNA vaccines is that it is quite difficult to dose the s-protein production. The amount of cellular uptake of the lipids envelopes, efficiency of ribosomes and many other factors play a role. The vaccine RNA is optimized to promote transcription. Someone who's cells are naturally happen to be great at transcription may create a lot more s-protein than someone else.

Too much s-protein can provoke a higher than optimal immune response which can also be dangerous.
