I'm not "shocked" by that accusation. I don't dispute the tax haven allegation, though we're likely to agree to the tax changes.

Here's a recent story from the meeting between the Irish and French leaders. The differing view on taxation is clearly there (though it's more that we're worried about a mandated EU premium on top of it, not that we're against a global minimum). But on every other key issue the French openly say we're working closely together. https://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/differences-over-co...

That's a fair distance from 'undermining every EU regulation'.
It is quite independent. They are in a tug of war with the commission and the council of ministers by design, so their autonomy fluctuates with time, but the commissioners (and several member-states) are regularly quite unhappy with the ECB. The ECB typically does not care about politics and looks only after economical indices. They are known to be afraid of the tiniest bit of inflation, which resulted in counter-productive policies at time.

I am not familiar enough with the federal reserve to say how similar they are.
The question is, how much of that is Tesla’s fault? They’re an EV company, not a psychology consultancy. We don’t hold gun manufacturers or alcohol companies liable when people do stupid things with their products, despite the best efforts of their marketing divisions. Granted “pull trigger get bullet” is much simpler than the Autopilot response.
I was in Norway few years ago and all I saw was Tesla Model S and X. I realized the government gives huge incentive to own one, I’m wondering if this has anything to do with it.
> Instead, historic public forums were mostly related to in-person meetings - town halls, clubs, pubs etc. These have not been outlawed nor disappeared entirely, but they are almost entirely atrophied.

Last year they were outlawed.
Yeah, I was wondering about that as well. Maybe the parent comment meant the practical implications, such as C-like speed with memory safety? As a language, Haskell has much more wow in it.
>Why should I read these decades, centuries, millennia old books as a beginner [1]? In no other field are beginners asked to read old primary texts.

Philosophy as a discipline makes more sense if you consider it as a form of literature. And it isn't true that "in no other field" beginners read primary texts -- literature scholars absolutely do this.

I'm a philosophy enthusiast, but I've never really understood the claim that philosophers seek to understand what's true. Mathematicians do that, and some types of analytic philosophers focus on that, but at least from my perspective philosophy is more about idiosyncratic excursions into interesting questions and ideas, the same way that fiction is about idisyncratic excursions into interesting plots.

IMHO no one rewrites Nietzsche because what would be the point? His headline ideas can be summarized in a rather short document, just like the plot of a novel can be summarized in a couple paragraphs, but it's the voyage that's the meaty, fun part, just like literature.
I thing the gaming issue isn't the bandwidth while playing - more the huge downloads (new games and updates) that many games require these days.

(yes latency is important too - just discussing bandwidth here)

Warning, if you start watching, it's difficult to stop haha, love this gem (on EV fear campaigns in Australia) as well: [1], ok... they're all gems. And whatever sh*tf*ckery your government pulls, I'll just always love Aussies because of this channel.

It's weird to think back to a decade or 15 years ago where it was shameful to be an "internet addict". Spending a lot of time online was generally frowned upon, and not something you would talk about.

Now the entirety of society is an "internet addict". I'll admit the nerd inside me feels a bit vindicated, even if horrified overall with where the internet has taken us.
> Australia thinks people don't do this. They think people are naive and don't compartment their digital identity, but it's common practice.

It seems like they fully understand that people do this and this is exactly the reason why this topic came up.

I agree with some comments on that Twitter thread - once (if? when?) it goes live in AU, the rest of the world will follow quick. Want VPN? Show the passport. Want your own VPN in x cloud provider? Show the passport. Want a colocated server so you can host that VPN yourself? Show the passport. Want to host the VPN at home? Well, tough luck - your ISP knows who you are. There are only so many places one can connect to the net from.

The governments will not allow any unreegulated medium for long. It will either get regulated and incorporated or banned and criminalized. That's the sad state of things.

Legitimate users can only do so much to "not have anything to hide". Keep it legit and limit your online presence to the legit stuff, I guess.
I imagine many Ruby programers migrated to Python.

Not my experience being involved with the community. Indeed, there seems to be rather less migration between the two communities than than other languages (e.g. Python + Go, or Ruby + Elixir) probably by virtue of their similar problem spaces and approaches.

I'm a Rubyist who also knows some Python and while I admire Python, I certainly prefer Ruby. Python is flexible and fantastic in many ways, but is a far less consistent language in terms of organization (e.g. you use methods for some things, functions for others) which didn't click with me. If you want to do something with an array/list in Ruby, say, 95% of the time it's "arr.method" whereas in Python it might be len(arr) or arr.method, a comprehension, etc.
IMO this is a good thing, and should be applied to all manufacturers of driver-assist technology. Tesla has certainly been at the bleeding-edge of overly optimistic and confusing marketing for their product, but others should be on alert too.
How Being Lazy Helped Me Retire At 30
EVs are heavier than normal cars and you are using the road. So, it is fair to pay the road tax. Assuming the money collected for this directly goes to road maintenance.

I do not have problem with paying taxes that go for roads. Even though in my case I own PHEVs than BEVs. That would be last of my complains.
This is actually fucking brilliant! Just makes me love those two (three) even more.
I agree this is stuff which is common knowledge amongst those of us who know a bit about tech. I think the following quote [0] is probably the novel value of the project : "What is interesting about the dataset is that the best example for location tracking of movements are not vehicles, smartphones or even activity trackers – but headsets that do not have MAC randomization, which may make it easier to track the movements of an individual headset rather than the individual’s smartphone."

We use Devise. The fact that it's free and open source blows my mind. It's some incredible software.
The Irish population (including myself) are very grateful for this :) Kinda sucks for Romania though.
Yeah, but they are definitely thinking about satellites a lot in there. They mention an original alternative idea for seemingly fully computerized satellite run operation, which they considered was impractically ambitious and expensive for the time, but settled on a seemingly hybrid satellite/relay-aircraft UHF controlled, if I'm reading it right.

What interests me too is the "Handle via" line at the bottom: "BYEMAN-TALENT—KEYHOLE-COMINT
Control Systems Jointly" I wonder what that means?
> I don't know why that is, or if it's more or less common now.

Curious if we saw a similar trend in pre-WWII America. The point being, maybe banding together and tolerating more-authoritarian tendencies is a natural human response to perceived threat. For Australia, this comes from China. For America...I don't know.
"Spark group" are part of a resilient not-for-profit subculture of pirates called "the scene" that has existed as long as the internet itself.

Some of the other groups have good enough opsec that they have been around since the 80s. Sure is remarkable.
>From individuals ? I would be more than happy to punch you for preaching nazi rethoric, for example, and so would thousands of us.

Isn't that literally terrorism?

>The deliberate commission of an act of violence to create public fear through the suffering of the victims in the furtherance of a political or social agenda.
It looks like Norwegian fees on imports are pretty crazy, on top of the 25% VAT. All of which is waived for EVs. The import fees seem to be composed of several sub-fees such as HP tax, weight tax, CO2 tax... I can't tell what the number since it varies is but guessing over 50% of the base price on average. If someone offered me a car with a 75% discount you can bet I'd buy it EV or not ;)
AFAIK, it can detect them just fine, but it is bad at discriminating those its collision avoidance part should pay attention to from those it shouldn’t pay attention to (e.g. the road surface, traffic signs on the side of or over the road), so they (¿mostly?) chose to ignore all of them.
There are HDMI audio extractors. Can you use one of those?

I think if you looked over the last 50 years, you’d actually see a collapse in trust in large institutions. I think what we’re seeing, in the US at least, is an authoritarian response from these institutions (government / media / academia) to the threats posed by the internet and their general decline in prestige since the 70s.

See the other comment in this thread that free speech has been “weaponized” and therefor presumably must be curtailed “for our own good.”
Weird hill to die on, IMO. Remember when we were younger and there was immense pressure on cable news to stop sharing the details of mass-shooting incidents because it was glorifying the shooters and their violent means? What Reddit is doing is what we asked cable news to do.

(Also, like, stop blowing your dogwhistle so damn loud.)
Uh... No. You're off by an order of magnitude.

Anecdotally when I took a flu shot years ago I was knocked out for a day.
I would agree with the above.

I don't like radical anti-abortionists who camp out at abortion clinics, but I recognize we all have this right. I wish they would pursue their goals more civilly, they would likely get some sympathy if they were humane about it, for example.
Exceptional. My work machine is a Lenovo X1 and IMO the Framework approaches that machine in build quality and fit/finish while being infinitely more user serviceable. It's really impressive.
We ask airplane makers to make adjustments to better indicate problems / auto pilot status when humans don't do the right thing all the time. And that's for professionals who get tons of training.

We have all sorts of car / road safety features because humans are bad at driving.

We can't reprogram the humans, can change the environment they operate in.
You might have better luck sending SIGINT instead of SIGTERM using 'killall -INT ffmpeg' so that it exits cleanly.
I believe you can use either. I recently downloaded Libby but I still see my holds in overdrive too.
Actually one of the best features of the apple watch is that it can wake me silently (so as not to wake my spouse) and I can adjust my alarm schedule on my phone (without digging through tiny menus, which are even worse on a Garmin).

So I have developed a habit of taking off my apple watch when I sit at my desk. By the first time I think to look at my wrist, it's charged.

I put it in sleep mode all night, and wake up with plenty of battery anyway.
There are systems that can detect stationary objects, Tesla does not want to use those more reliable systems, so they use the programming methodology of tweaking tweaking the code when a bug appears and hope that was the last one.

Sure some AI gurus will claim that humans can detect this objects only with 2 eyes but they forget to mention that behind those 2 eyes is a brain an actual intelligence that is aware of the world and it's place in the world. So if you can't create an actual intelligence then at least put the effort in feeding correct data into your AI and remove the line of code "if static object ignore because too hard to detect if is a truck or a shadow/paper bag/sign"
Pretty late, as it seems to require building up binary arithmetic first.

A straightforward collatz step function on binary numbers that I just cobbled together weighs in at 282 bits...
I'm not sure I understand your stance here. It's not like Norway is continuing drilling for Oil /because/ we need to subsidize these electric cars. The drilling is being done because there's lots of money to be had, and lots of vested interests. I'm fairly certain the subsidies would continue even if drilling stopped this very instant.

Criticizing the Oil drilling is a separate topic entirely. The Norwegian stance on it is divided as well, making it one of the larger feuds in this years election.
I still love writing Ruby. I suspect I probably always will, in fact, and I use it as my system scripting language over Python and the like. It has always made sense to me and I enjoy it being a part of my day-job too.

If I need to write something, like a small tool, or an API, or a Prometheus exporter (https://github.com/robotmay/prometheus-aanet-exporter/blob/m...), I write it in Ruby. The Prometheus exporter is a good example actually: nobody else seems to write them in Ruby, but I found it easier to make one from scratch than to figure out the pretty obtuse and non-standardised examples written in Go by everybody else. Obviously this won't be true for everyone else, we all have our own favourite languages, but for me it's very rare that I find something that can't be written effectively in Ruby, so I'm happy to keep writing code that way.

There's always a lot of arguments about Ruby/Rails performance, but it's actually not too tricky to make it run fast enough for most tasks. It is fairly easy to shoot yourself in the foot I guess, compared to other languages which are natively fast, but there's a downside to all languages.
GrapheneOS attacks on other projects is well documented. They have went to the extent of trying to get a Monero community member removed by harassing them [1]. Techlore has documented some of the more nefarious actions [2]. GrapheneOS is currently involved in a dispute with CalyxOS as well.

Your lived experience is what it is, and I certainly don't mean to contradict you. But just to add another viewpoint for perspective...

My ISP (formerly Time Warner, now Spectrum) has been handing out v6 addresses here, and I've been running in dual stack mode, for a good 3 years or more now. And in all that time, I can remember exactly one occasion where IPv6 caused any issue. And that was only because somebody at my employer who was setting up a GCP environment didn't take into account that anybody would be coming in on IPv6, didn't configure the corresponding firewall rules, and it broke using kubectl to access GKS clusters from my home network, as kubectl was defaulting to the v6 connection.

So yeah, v6 can cause some weirdness, even now (the event described above was about 3 months ago) but in my experience it is exceedingly rare. YMMV, of course.
What if the FBI had a large part in organizing such a movement? Should they be prosecuted too?
Being vaccinated and wearing a mask, both of which are scientifically corroborated actions in the midst of a global pandemic, are not politics or toeing party lines or any other insinuation you're trying to make.
The average salary is close to the equivalent of $55000 and median is a bit over $50000, that helps.

The fossils are also taxed heavily, the Audi Q7 for instance starts at over 1.1 million NOK, the Model Y starts at 550k or so.

In comparison I bought my previous car (Toyota Avensis with 150 hp engine) in 2011 for 400k NOK.

Then you have the fuel costs which is at around 16-18 NOK/liter, which comes out to about $7-8/us gallon and electricity is about 1 NOK/kWh. For an efficient fossil (5 liter/100km) it costs 1.5 NOK/km in fuel costs, the same for an EV is 0.25 NOK/km when charging at home depending on the efficiency. My ioniq costs even less.

I drive a Model X (with a refresh X on order) and a classic ioniq electric myself, buying a new fossil here is just dumb at this point.

Definitely there were a number doctors operating pill mills, and they have become DEA scalps, rightly so.

But now, we have swung too far to the opposite extreme.

Just okay. With tuning I'm at 8-ish hours casual browsing with low screen brightness. IIRC this puts it in the same league as the XPS 13 but miles behind an X1 or MacBook.

Though the "will not stop, ever...", even for an emergency vehicle, might be relevant.
I agree that the fine needs to be higher to work as a scary deterrent but getting 1% of your profits taken away from a single fine is pretty substantial for any company.
What's going on with Australia these days? I feel like every time I read about some wildly excessive overreach around privacy, it's coming out of Australia. Granted, I'm American and we have our own problems regarding privacy, but Australia seems markedly more open and and aggressive in their approach.
>Before the masses were corralled into walled gardens.

I'm not sure how old you are, but when is this time you speak of? AOL had users in a walled garden for decades. Then those users moved to myspace, then facebook. You're going to need to be more specific about this magical time when the average user was somehow "free of walled gardens".
No, I think it's deeper than that.

Structures like churches and local communities have crumbled away, and parents and family have to work so much that the state via schools do a lot of child raising these days. (there are tons of kids who are with the state from 9am to 5 to 6pm, however late after school will take them), then there parent has to give them to grandma or babysitter on the weekend to work some more. People's guiding authority in their life has become the state.
I wonder what this means for users of Australian services who reside outside of Australia? For example I live in the US and use Fastmail as well as some Atlassian products.
Norway is very gifted with natural resources, especially energy. They can cover their whole eletricity demand by hydropower, but this energy is difficult to export. Not so the oil they produce. So what should they do for maximum profit? Make the locals use electricity instead of fossil fuel by raising fossil fuel tax and providing incentives to purchase EVs. And export all that fossil fuel.

For Norway heavily subsidizing EVs makes sense from a purely economic point of view, no green agenda required.
If that's the case, the correct solution is to shut Autopilot and all systems like it down, and charge their developers with reckless endangerment.

A autonomous driving system which can't detect stationary obstacles is not an autonomous driving system: It's a murder machine.

If they can't do this, they shouldn't operate, full stop.
It's similar to college rape accusations.

If the accusation is true, then it's a crime and the punishment should be much more severe. If the accusation is false, then it's a non-issue (and clearly not a crime), and there should be no punishment.

Big tech and universities do not have the skills, experience, resources or obligation to resolve the question of guilt clearly and fairly. Let's leave that to the courts.
I've recently been wondering if it would be technically feasible to make one of those more traditional metal watchbands, where the metal elements would be Li-Batteries. Perhaps too small though.

Buildah is what the Dockerfile could have been. Instead of using general-purpose shell scripting knowledge to produce images, we ended up with a custom instruction file, complete with its own quirks.

That isn't a question I can answer in a short post, but a couple quick hits:

1. Education is a business now, and responds to business incentives.

2. The postgrad environment is a mess, in part because of #1, in part because of its own internal issues, and in part because of fundamental supply and demand.

3. The topics have all been deeply politicized.
For America, it depends. If you are a liberal, it comes from the conservatives, and vice versa.
Unlikely.
To this day Rails is still being chosen for new projects. I see it for example in HackerNews job postings. You can see the company's tech and year of founding so you know it is new startups. Sure, its not close to how popular it used to be, but definitely not dying.
And then what about all the existing code? There is a lot.
I think Rails has its place and is still good at what it does, a segment of the population will continue loving working with it.
