Sure - universality has always been of interest to philosophers (as has logic).
That's interesting, in a similar vein I always thought the measure of intelligence was the ability to compress information. If you cannot summarize, then you do not understand the subject.
What exactly is the point of a library in this case? Why doesn't this Overdrive company simply have a direct-to-consumer site with some kind of payment scheme?

One thing that's going to have to change is the cost of ebooks. Amazon pricing is insane and I can't say that artificially scarce check-outs is a more logical solution.

My main bet is that the IP enforcement apparatus gets stronger and stronger. Now is the time to grab everything you can from whatever source. youtube-dl, libgen, sci-hub, the-eye, even the currently legal things like gutenberg and archive.org...I'm working to go essentially offline on media sources.
Better smartwatch features, generally. So stuff like support for contactless payment, phone unlocking, etc.
To be fair, anonymity and de-anonymysing are both problems.

Social Media anonymity is often used to incite riots in many parts of the world.

And obviously, in tyrannical regimes, de-anonymysing is a issue.

The third issue is defining who is tyrannical.
Might be interesting to see, but probably there are such platforms already?
Australia has always been something of a nanny state.

Unfortunately most of the last decade we've had a Liberal (Conservative) government and a fairly centrist opposition that tries to minimise their attack surface lest Murdochs Newscorp find a new way to attack them in the media.

Unfortunately this leads to things like this, where it is politically infeasible to vote against it with cries of 'think of the children'.

Basically media forcing the Labor party (historically pro privacy and workers rights) to shift more right to avoid losing votes.
Well, since your first reply didn't acknowledged that there's a problem and instead even downplayed any need for action, hysterical laughter seems to be the appropriate response.

I fail to understand how rational persons - like you yourself seem to be one - can treat the calamity we're facing with such a dismissive non-nonchalance.

This wonderful, weird, exciting place we're all living in is going to crumble very soon. You do understand that, right?
I'm in Oslo now. There is an active start-up scene here. I have lots of Norwegian friends who have started businesses or non-profits. I know of people who started a tech business in SV and then moved back home to Norway for the quality of life.

The safety-net gives you the ability to take risks, without risking your healthcare or your children's future.

There is very little poverty and crime here, compared to SF. Public services work. If you go to a shop or restaurant, it feels good knowing that the people working there are making a living wage with 5 weeks vacation, etc.

Norway has more $-millionaires per capita than the US:

I'm pretty sure Spring is a season, and thus mother nature owns the copyright on that and the tee shirt company should have to change their name or cease operations.

That's how this works, right? Ridiculous.
We're supposed to believe that these tiny FB campaigns are actually outcompeting the tsunami of "buy this junk" ads, and the actual political misinformation campaigns put out by the Uniparty?

> Throughout the election cycle, Russia's online influence actors sought to affect US public perceptions of the candidates, as well as advance Moscow's long-standing goals of undermining confidence in US election processes and increasing sociopolitical divisions among the American people.

The confidence undermining was all a local issue; Russia had nothing to do with it.
I think that's an excellent plan and there's a bunch of companies in the US which should do the same.
As rubenbe said, they implemented the docker API, thus you'll need to start a systemd socket.

For rootless the steps are as simple as

systemctl enable --now --user podman.socket
export DOCKER_HOST=unix://$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/podman/podman.sock

For rootfull just remove "--user" from the above command, and the socket is located at /var/podman/podman.sock

Then you can run both docker and docker-compose commands. Traefik and other things that use the Docker API directly should be able to use it too. Any issues you can raise on the GitHub repo, they're a bunch of friendly folks and are pretty quick at addressing issues.
Two things stood out to me that would cause me to question the advice doled out here:

1. "Truck tires are too heavy for a cross-over." Man, as one who used to turn wrenches for a living, I'm going to have to call [citation needed] on that one.

2. A $180 coffee mug? Get the fuck outta here.

At a glance, I'm seeing four thousand 'merican dollars of affiliate links one has to click on to be fully outfitted, and you're still sleeping in your car. Not for those low on disposable income.
When I studied physics, we did start with Aristotle. In both physics and philosophy you're not studying Ancient Greece necessarily because they are right, you're studying it because understanding the history of thought helps you understand modern thought.
Very interesting to contrast which political parties in the west are pushing for these things against where fingers are being pointed in much of this thread.
Just out of curiosity: is New Zealand on a similar way?
Rust wants to be the new C without C warts, using the compiler to ensure memory safety (up to a point), promoting immutability and having generics baked in.

I'm not a C programmer, but I think Rust can fit almost everywhere C can fit.
Banks by EU law have to comply
with SEPA / instant payments. Payments in Europe is very good compared to US and in most cases also better than Asia. After all, Europe invented open banking and PSD2.
Asia is very fragmented. Countries like China, HK and Singapore are very good on instant payments, in particular because card payments have very high MDR and fees. Other countries like Indonesia and Philippines are just now starting to implement fast payments and national clearing infrastructure. And, unlike Europe, cross-border payments are still highly fragmented and expensive.
"To illustrate the economics of e-book lending, the N.Y.P.L. sent me its January, 2021, figures for “A Promised Land,” the memoir by Barack Obama that had been published a few months earlier by Penguin Random House. At that point, the library system had purchased three hundred and ten perpetual audiobook licenses at ninety-five dollars each, for a total of $29,450 ..."

Amazon lists the audiobook at $40, Barnes&Noble sells an audio cd for $60. Paying a premium of over $40 dollars per license for distribution to end users seems crazy...
I'd agree that that would be terrible. I generally play on an iPad with an xbox controller, which is a much different experience. I'm not a fan of touch controls for games like this.
No, my friend. It does not.

The citizens have gun rights and we have a LOT of guns.

And if you think millions with rifles and handguns can't stop the US government, you've not been paying attention to what happened in Afghanistan.
>Linode didn't offer private LANs between groups of servers. They did offer private IP addresses, but they had only a single LAN that was shared by every machine in each data center.

>Lesson learned: when software says that you need a private network, you need a private network.

Hah yeah, I imagine a properly secured (famous last words) VPN setup is kinda necessary when dealing with stuff like that.

Having your secrets in one place (especially remotely accessible) is a very attractive target and you don't want to find out there's a 0day (or general misconfiguration) on your management system the hard way.

I'd like to think that I could make something like that work, but it's certainly more than setup and forget about it.
Anyone know of any way to download regular backups of books on LibGen?
some of these photos look like they were taken with a field camera on plates, a technique that can achieve higher resolution than modern consumer digital cameras. you may be looking at some smaller format for your examples.

most people have never seen a real photography exhibition and don't realize the extreme detail and depth that can be achieved with analog photography, and has been possible for over a hundred years. consumer cameras are oriented to convenience, but film is so much more powerful than the toy cameras you might remember from when you were a kid.
I'll add a +1 for Aquiss also - the last time I lived in the UK they were wonderful to deal with in every respect - the absolute antithesis of any of the "mainstream" ISPs in the UK (or the US).
As a Canadian, the only time I've had a credit card stolen is in the US. Not saying credit card doesn't happen in Canada, it does, but it's definitely a much, much bigger problem in the US. Almost like the banking system isn't adopting measures such as chip cards to combat theft fast enough.
No thread about the heat death of the universe in the internet has ever lacked this comment. And justly so. Absolutely stunning short story.
dissent is a virtue.

We're lucky we live in a society where we can dissent without undue risk, at least, to some extent.
TBH, I've never downloaded a Docker image. I rely on Debian; I trust packages from the Debian repository (hell, I'm running their OS, so I already trust them).

Software from other sources: not so much. Maybe run it in a VM.

Look, I've used such commands myself - once upon a time that was the recommended way to install LetsEncrypt, I think. But I look at the script first.
Yeah we have a good backup star <5ly away. In hundreds of millions to 1-2 billion years when this becomes a problem we (or more likely whatever descends from us or the AIs we build) will either be able to move easily or will be extinct already.

AI intelligences would have no problem traveling between stars. Who cares if it takes thousands of years even... just turn yourself off. Even better send automated factories to build compute power and robotics and then transmit your minds when the new site is ready.

How Computationally Complex Is a Single Neuron?
I specifically said economic migration, which is by definition about improving standard of living rather than having a particular draw to a specific country.

Of course other factors may narrow it down - 'I like Nordic countries', or particularly 'somewhere in the EU', but not typically 'Finland or bust'.

Even on shorter timescales we all die and cease to matter. That doesn't mean life is without meaning. Life is amazing, and terribly short. I wish I could live 1000 more lives, and live them all differently. There's so much I will never do.
Xiaomi Camera censoring German postal voting documents
This was definitely a poor name in retrospect, but I can see why they chose the name. The current functionality of autopilot is in fact pretty similar to aviation autopilots. Unfortunately most of the public thinks that an autopilot can fly a plane unassisted, so they naturally expect "Autopilot" to drive their car unassisted.
I think there's a case that this is depraved-heart murder, at least in some states. And since this occurred in all 50 states, I'd contend there's a good case for serial murder in at least a few of them.
Oh, great now organised crime knows who's got the guns. Gun owners had better double up on security now.
You are suggesting that the consequences of leaving where well defined, upfront and the UK was simply not "willing to face the truth" - this is not true. The consequences of leaving were established, and negotiated after the invocation.

You should also take note of my comment below - there is no "they" wrt the UK, as the country was divided, and actively fighting over the issue - with some actively trying to prevent a brexit.
Tech moves so fast now. While I don't believe we'll be leveling off anytime soon, it's worth considering the possibility of it.
Proximity to China
Will this be based on ISO 20022? If all EU member state national clearing and settlement switches speak this format, it should be fairly easy to integrate across countries as well. Singapore and Thailand have recently introduced a similar 24/7 bridge between their national clearing / settlement systems (PayNow to PromptPay) and it works really well. You can basically send money to any Thai / Singaporean phone number in real time.
> It obviously depends on your location/line-of-sight/etc.

And that’s the problem. Virtually everyone who gets Locast, including me, can’t get reliable reception. This is exactly what retransmission non-profits are supposed to help with. But in response to Locast, people say “just put up an antenna.” I would love to but I live in a city of hills and trees that eat RF for breakfast and dinner.

I have paid for Locast since it arrived in my market and I’m immensely sad to see it go.
Usually there would be some language that states they cannot refuse permission to publish unless they have reasonable grounds. Your hypothetical, i.e., a "bad" benchmark, would not qualify as reasonable grounds. Blocking the publication of benchmarks because they do not suit one's business interests is not going to be an enforceable provision in a license agreement. I challenge you to name a single case that went to trial over such a provision where a court upheld the provision's enforcement.
I guess they're getting ready to sell the whole island/continent to China?
I've felted wowed in theory by Rust but every time I come to it, I'm constantly getting stuck by how much the compiler gets in my way. On one hand, the idea that the compiler is your friend that stops you from making dumb memory decisions unlike in c++. But with Rust, I can't get even simple tasks done which really frustrates me. Perhaps Go might be a language to checkout if it "gets out of your way" as you say.
You're using the perspective where you sit them right down next to each other and compare them directly. In that case, every little small difference leaps out and they look very different.

I'm using the perspective of the whole programming language landscape. Take Python and Ruby and sit them next to Haskell, or SQL, or Prolog, or best yet, all of them at once. Even within just the "dynamically typed languages" they are the most similar to each other.

Syntax is one of their greater differences when sat next to each other, but much less impressively different when considered in the whole landscape. Syntax glosses on virtually identical semantics.
How do you define "business safe"? Java won't prevent you from sending a message to the wrong customer or something like that.
A properly de-anonymized internet readily allows for end-to-end encryption, so I don't think that's quite what they're doing.
It seems like everyone is picking a different way of extracting money from the tech companies. America seems to favor taxes, EU fines, China donations.
Think. What is the largest (billions and trillion$ large) and most proximal influencing force that did not exist when your grandparents were growing up?
Where in Asia? I've heard bad things about transfers in Japan, for instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbS6JrBcQ4M

In the UK transfers are free and near-instant, and contactless is ubiquitous.
No thanks, I don't think the west needs a secret police to make CEOs disappear and require a ransom in return.
I lived in Morocco, so my experience is with the Berber and Touareg.
>Resting B*tch Face

Did you censor yourself? Just curious.
Sure, costs have to be driven down further with scale.
I moved from Finland to UK to USA, so I have personal experience with three rather different banking ecosystems.

The payment systems in America are literally 30+ years behind Finland and UK. It's absurdly bad. People still send paper checks. There's no national infrastructure for bank transfers. You shouldn't give out your bank account number to anyone (unlike EU/UK where it's perfectly safe to post account numbers). Direct debit seems crazy unregulated.

Credit cards and bank-specific transfer systems are used to patch the most glaring holes in this mess, which I'm sure pleases Visa/Mastercard and the banks themselves, but leaves everyone else worse off.
Slush fund where Xi doesn’t even have to worry about what the CCP wants, he can just point to what his priorities are and ‘poof’ it is done.
Northern Ireland is still saying its goodbyes and looking for its jacket. And even GB is still caught up in hundreds of temporary exemptions and is in many senses operating as part of Europe.
"Thrill" is an interesting way to put it.
Does anyone know what is going on here?

Is Xiaomi stock camera known for censoring certain documents?
Judy IV Shop Manual [pdf]
The fact that Tesla and Elon have been fighting these autopilot errors in completely the wrong way is the primary reason the feds should be involved.

I have been using autopilot in Nissan. If the car were to crash into an ambulance light going off I would not be able to predict it and stop it from happening quickly enough. I just have a whole lot of trust in some basic things the car does.

And this is one of those cases where they should have been able to get this right after the first crash but they didn’t and now the feds have to get involved. A lesson on why we can’t have nice things.
I have never read this before, thank you :)
> "Freedom of speech and anonymity is being weaponized" that is always the argument against freedom of speech. There is nothing new there.

To quote chief Nazi propagandist Goebbels from 1928:

We enter the Reichstag to arm ourselves with democracy’s weapons. If democracy is foolish enough to give us free railway passes and salaries, that is its problem… We are coming neither as friends or neutrals. We come as enemies! As the wolf attacks the sheep, so come we.

The modern-day far right is following exactly the same almost-100-years-old playbook, and there are still people who don't recognize that we are letting history repeat itself. What would your (great-)grandparents have thought if you told them that there would be open marches of swastika flag-bearing people in the US?
I generally agree ... however, the one point that lets wired down is their durability.

I spent 10 years not changing my favourite wired headphones (replacing them probably 10 times in that period).

I've been with my (pretty damned cheap) bluetooth headphones for 2 years now. Zero issues.
Well, I'm an attentive driver, so I wouldn't use anything that drives worse than me.

A lot of people probably feel the same.
I just wrote a thread about why I love Libby. https://twitter.com/ketcomp/status/1431401637738917898

1. Low-effort setup for something that will be sparingly used
2. One design for libraries (at least across United States, Canada) - build once, sell forever
3. Skip-the-line loans & nudges as examples of leveraging technology to vastly improve UX.

Someone pointed out the redesign and I think that actually has improved - you can also optionally turn on labels for those buttons on the bottom making it even less confusing. It admittedly was pretty confusing pre-redesign.
Like others say, maybe fraud is less common, but personally I use a credit card 99% of the time.

Most banks will refund fraud in most cases even on a debit card here (UK)
Types of Jeans for the Ever-Evolving Fashionista
This does often manifest in what is essentially nihilism, though — e.g. “I’m not taking the vaccine; if God’s will is that I die from COVID then so be it.”
Of course.

But this seems to me to cement the situation. This 'aid' shoud be coming from government, paid for by properly taxing these crony corps, not by obvious direct coercion, etc.
Peak star was a lie spread by the anti solar lobby to get us back on oil.
If civilization lasts a million years it would be an accomplishment. I think the likely answer to the Fermi paradox is that civilization is but a short lived spark on evolutionary timescales and self destructs.
Is it something I can share? I mean I live in a city where I've got access that I don't already use. Shoot me an email if you're interested.
Filtering out is the problem that develoeprs/engineers should solve right? I can't accept the idea that the car can hit a wall because "our devs are too incompetent or we are to cheap to use better hardware" , a wall or a truck does not look like a bridge or a shadow or a sign, if the AI is too stupid then is not ready, even if is better then a drunk teen that drives a 15 years old car in some very specific situations.

The lidar/radar detects the objects the AI should label them and decide, if it can't do it then throw more video cards at it and more training or find some competent people that could use more deterministic code to reduce the complexity before the AI attempts to run.
It's untrue to characterise the UK as a contradictory single-entity unable to "mak[e] up its mind" - in reality the UK was itself very much divided.
That's what every person living in a caravan/trailer/van I know has done before committing to the life on the road full-time. But what's proposed in the article is just sleeping in a car, no comforts whatsoever other than shitty expensive gadgets.
Termination event: this simulation will yield the desired answer after another 1 million years of simulated time and the plug will be pulled.

Hi I'm Juan. I am an experienced developer/data scientist/lead who creates data products, lately recommendations systems and NLP applications. I'm interested in building data products, from an idea to a finished product, I've been working in this area for a couple of years now and looking forward to keep doing it.
Google abandons as much as they support.

The Ruby and Rails ecosystem has Stripe, Shopify, GitHub actively pushing new things all the time, DHH and co working on version 7 right now, etc...
With this scheme, Alibaba still have "prerogative" on how to spend the fund, hence invest. Also, historically even Xi's poverty eradication didn't exclusively depend on the party apparatus, but also the private player which have their own strength e.g. e-commerce infrastructure like Alibaba.
Nope, he is simply saying that a human of sound state of mind does not have these accidents.

The authorities are simply viewing Tesla's credibility as undermined.
They ask themselves, if it can't do this, how can it get anything right, or there must be many more flaws.

The humans do not like to pass over control to machines unless the machines do it clearly better.

And in this case, the authority does not want to have their credibility shot by looking away from the Tesla issue, it cannot be pushed under the metaphorical carpet anymore, there is a bulge under the carpet visible to anyone who wants to see.
Most physicists agree.
Most of our own CIA's efforts have resulted in abject failure. They failed to properly predict or influence most of the major world events for decades now (disintegration of the USSR, Balkan wars, 9/11 attacks, increased authoritarianism in China, rise of ISIL, collapse of Afghan government, etc). And yet we keep increasing their funding. Well maybe if we give them another billion they'll eventually get it right?

Government resource allocation is seldom based on a rational cost / benefit analysis.
