> Protonmail did not provide the authorities with the users IP address...they did allow the account to monitored which they are required by their laws to allow.

Something their marketing material appears to disclaim. This is just excuse-making. ProtonMail did what ProtonMail has (for years!) led their customers to believe they would not do. And they did.

I think there's an argument to be made that any commercial email/messaging provider simply can't do what ProtonMail claimed to do. But that doesn't change the fact that ProtonMail did it.
I guess, this is closely related to US-specifcic car infrastructure. Look up the term "stroad". (It's also hard to reproduce, where I live.)
The manual included with Microsoft Flight Simulator (4.0 maybe?) in the early 90’s was thick and dense. I remember using it to learn how to navigate using VOR stations. They don’t make them like they used to.
> I for one will not sign a CLA that allows proprietary relicensing

Why the objection?

For it to have a material effect, both (a) Hashicorp would need to take Terradorm proprietary within a few years while your use actively need updates, and (b) there would have to be no one else maintaining a fork based on the existing MPL2[3] code.

They say[2] why they need a CLA, which doesn’t seem deceptive.

From the CLA[1] “you reserve all right, title, and interest in and to Your Contributions”, which is unlike the FSF which demands copyright assignment[4] “Put simply, this is the legal transfer of copyright on a program from the developers to the Free Software Foundation.”[5].

Do you really this it’s an OR versus and AND? I cannot imagine sites doing this won’t also have ads.

Agreed, that is a possible future, but it also depends on not raising taxes for already cash strapped SMB's and bankrolling those efforts with large corporations and high income earners who have lots of capital to fight those initiatives.

I have made the same calculation regarding a form life insurance, which only pays in case of death. Which in my jurisdiction is a weird product, which makes sense, if you have a little bit to lose, so you are above the minimum guaranteed by society, but you are not already above the point where the effects you described kick in.

What makes the calculation even nicer if you are well-off enough to not have to buy it: If you actually put the money into your portfolio instead, each year you do not need it, the advantage increases further through compound interest, so at some point it literally pays for itself, while the insurance premiums would stay exactly the same.

I would love to be able to "nice" queries, a high "nice" attribute meaning, for the engine, "work on this whenever it does not slow down anything else", especially on the I/O side (à la Linux "ionice").

A "niced" query blocks (and its working set may even be "swapped out") as long as:
- the read buffer does not contain anything pertinent for it,
- there are "too much" pending I/O requests (<=> submitting an I/O request useful for this query would slow down other less-niced queries)

The "niceness" of a query may be dynamically modified by an authorized user.

Bonus:
- any role is associated to a minimal level of niceness (GRANT'able)
- the underlying logic interacts with the OS corresponding logic in order to take into account all I/Os (this is especially useful if PG runs on a non-dedicated server)
>It's grotesque to lump together people with reasoned concerns

I didn't lump "those people together", which is evidenced by the transitional sentence that began, "Then, there's the whole family of theories...".

"Then" is used here, as in "additionally". So, no reasonable people were "smugly disdained" in the production of that comment.

Secondly, I did indeed state that some of the egregious behavior I described is directly linked to this massive peddling of the idea that the government's efforts to fight the pandemic are really efforts to curb freedoms and/or harm them in some way. And to further clarify, those ideas do exist in degrees, up to and including the insane conspiracy theories at the extreme end.

But, let's be clear: the very idea that what the gov't is doing to control the pandemic is really intended to harm people or confiscate their freedoms is itself a conspiracy theory. And, if it motivates effectively the same behavior, then it functions in the same manner, irrespective of what its adherents believe about 5G or vaccine microchips.

So, I do think some who don't go as far as believing the extreme stuff can still be demoralized by disinfo and cultivate a distrust of gov't as a result, in much the same way as ads affect us all, even when we don't think they do.

>As for this idea of controlling "disinformation pipeline that motivates counterproductive behavior". What I hear is nearly Orwellian terminology there

I never wrote "controlling". That was your word. But, what I did state was that it's a problem when disinformation motivates behavior at scale, and that it's a threat to a functioning society.

>very tenuously sustained affirmations about an information problem

Some polls show up to 56% of Republicans believe that a theory that involves Dems eating babies and running a global pedophile ring is all or partly true. The theory involves a secret person who provides them with clues.

That's 25% of the population. It's become a cult and a growing mass psychosis. So, I'm not understanding why you think the idea of addressing problems like that is "Orwellian", but the problems themselves are of little concern. I find this mass psychosis chilling beyond whatever comes after Orwellian.

>that magically only started being a problem under specific recent political circumstances and also tries to undermine...free societies...

Magically? I'm sorry my friend, but that reads like a conspiracy theory. The plain read is that we had a president who trafficked in lies and disinfo, was buttressed by elements who did the same, and benefitted from it. If the "magic" that you're alluding to finds no culpability there, then it's magic indeed.

We could radically extend the human lifespan. Here’s why we shouldn’t
I write science fiction and also work in technology. My days are spent glued to a screen so much that it's hard to want to write on my computer when I have time to write. So I do everything longhand, then wait for long weekends to translate things from my notebook into a word processor. I wish I could do my drafts on my computer; I used to be able to work all day and night in front of a screen, but lately I've been realizing that I'm a lot less anxious overall when I (try to) stop interacting with computers after a certain time.

One thing I've been thinking about is having a computer hooked up to a rudimentary word processor app on my kindle. The kindle's display doesn't bother me after I'm done working on screens. It feels different enough that it doesn't interrupt my reading, so I've posited that I would be okay writing on one.

I'm excited to see technology like this come out, and I'm excited to see how this little industry grows.

"Why is that everyone else's problem?"

1) There are many countries which are 'net investors' in the EU which will have less of an opportunity to leverage this money than Germany and thus, end up funding Germany.

But that's moot: the program is paid for by EU members and yet will benefit Germany first, which is not ideal.

2) "But EU budget wise the claims you are making are not only false, but exactly the opposite. "

This makes no sense at all.

"The EU has a budget therefore you are wrong" is not an argument.
> This subheading covers common cliches/mistakes

> Common blunders

> many SF authors suffer from Dunning-Kruger syndrome

Referring to deliberate artistic choices as "mistakes" or "blunders" is in extremely poor taste. It's equivalent to attacking a stick figure comic for not adhering to rigorous details of human anatomy, and it makes me want to avoid any of Stross's work in the future.
Entire list is a little bit forced. I love sci-fi and have been reading or listening to it almost every day for over 30 years, and most of these I don't even remember ever encountering or being a problem.

Also, remember, the point of a good book is an interesting story. Since we are already talking about aliens and space travel, we are already assuming some scientific facts are at least bent to serve the story.

Some examples:

> Plate tectonics is easily ignored, unless the plot requires a Volcano/Earthquake

Most planets do not have plate tectonics. And even if it does, why is it important to not ignore it when your story is about something completely different?

> Planetary ring systems are picturesque, not dangerous

They are not dangerous. It is not like it will go out of its way to kill you. Entire mass of the ring system is usually in very thin, small bands. Just avoid crossing those and you are fine.

> You can change orbital inclination easily

Of course you can. If you can easily travel to other stars, changing inclination should not be a problem.

> New Colonies may be either agricultural or mining colonies; rarely, resort colonies

Maybe resort colonies are not fun to write about. Actually... Star Trek TNG has a bunch of episodes about Risa, which is a whole fricking fully climate-controlled resort planet.

Why are you expecting parity on everything? Do you think there should be more fiction about garbage men than private detectives? After all, there is many more of them.

> Everyone uses Money to mediate exchanges of value

Actually, I feel like most of stories do not have anything about money. A writer makes a choice. If everybody made choice to create world without money, would you be nitpicking about it, too?

> Inflation? What is this, I don't even ...

> Deflation? What will they think of next?

> Sales tax? What's that?

> Income tax? What's that?

Now you are being silly. Are we still talking about science fiction or would you rather make every author include thousands of pages of explanations on every topic from physics to biology to economics to whatever else you are bitchin is not included there.

And why do you assume economy can't exist without any or all of these things? At some time in the past we had thriving economy without inflation/deflation or sales or income taxes.

Not OP but for analytics use cases it is common to create new tables for each minute, hour, day or whatever granularity you collect data in. This makes it easier to aggregate later, you don't end up with extremely big tables, you can drop a subset of the data without affecting the performance of the table currently being written to etc..

>it's unclear whether or not most of these come from a lack of financial education or rather a sense of struggle and fatalism around pre-existing lack of economic opportunity

Even if they make bad decisions due to fatalism, this fatalism comes from one's attitude towards their circumstances more than society not giving enough handouts. Plenty of immigrants are more than happy to abandon their lives at home, make minimum wage in the US in jobs citizens won't touch, live minimalistically, and send most of their money to their families.
Disgusting. I hope Google ignores.

It is generally called the Okabe-Ito palette since it was created nine years before the Wong paper. But I digress.

Colorblind-friendly color palettes are not sufficient in all cases - even a non-color-deficient person will have trouble distinguishing similar colors when the total area is small (as often occurs in thin lines or dots), or if there are simply too many colors in a plot. A good overview on choosing colors when making figures while keeping color-deficiencies in mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PsbdY3aWdg

There really is no perfect solution for all cases, which is why we don't just have a set of hard-and-fast rules for making figures, though there are definitely some choices that are better than others.
We did also cut the intracoastal waterway through swamps/marshes for commercial purposes (including large scale cypress logging).

Okay yeah that's way more philosophical than I was thinking. To me it's just neurons that fire and chemicals that are released in response to stimuli. That's the science part and the way we can iirc already recognize pain in brain scans. Or even just behavioral: you can observe how it alters its behavior depending on what the hurter does after hurting the animal.

Compare it to unsafe functions. An unsafe function can be called in an unsafe block or an unsafe function. Rust could require annotating each call to an unsafe function, even inside unsafe functions. Why don't we do that? That seems like it's also very useful for the exact same reasons.

A proper language needs to allow the programmer to choose between implicit effects and explicit effects on a case-by-case basis. The reason ? is so tragic is because Rust tried to go with explicit effects only, but found that people wanted implicit effects, and ? is the closest that Rust can get. That's why it's syntactic noise: The programmer wants to get rid of it, they don't regard it as informative for this case, but they can't get rid of it.

(And checked exceptions can be perfectly well implemented with regular data, you don't need any special cases - in fact, you can do it with the same infrastructure that's already been added in a special-cased form for async/await support...)

All of that said, there was a fun nostalgia going into a game store in the mid-90s and being surrounded by boxes of games. I remember Media Play and EB Games were big things here and I bought countless N64 games at both. Before that we also had Toys R'US with its aisles of Genesis and Saturn games.
