Would be good to have some other sources for this story.

So a Swiss company has been apparently forced to provide details of a user who is under investigation by police in another country? I'm curious about the way that actually works, that a Swiss court receives a request from a foreign police force and a private company has no recourse to refuse or appeal the resulting order. Seems a bit weird to me, although I don't know a lot about the legal system there.
Any new tools developed with that in mind for us mortals?

Would love to sign up for some Tor-first services. So far the best we've got are Tor services that mirror public ones.
I'm not interested in what Plaid puts in a help page, since Plaid's $58 million settlement is for alleged data sharing with third parties without consent, meaning that Plaid is accused of not properly communicating the alleged data sharing to its users or obtaining permission.

And Plaid's terms of service (https://plaid.com/legal/#how-we-use-your-information) contains vague catch-alls such as:

> We share your End User Information for a number of business purposes:

> With our data processors and other service providers, partners, or contractors in connection with the services they perform for us or developers

Sure, it would be great if banks offered different authentication systems, but that has nothing to do with my lack of trust for Plaid. A different authentication system wouldn't eliminate the data sharing concerns I have with Plaid.
Maybe the first step to financial literacy is learning that if a company or a person you don't know is doing something for you for "free", you need to figure out what the hidden catch is before you take the "free" stuff or service.

Aircraft anti-skid is more complicated than a car. There are a lot of hydraulics and sensors working with extremely high loads.

To simplify how things work, there are two sets of systems in the plane.

There are the computers controls that move all of the surfaces. They have no connection to the various other sensors, because they only move things as they are ordered to. These form the base flight-by-wire system.

On top layer, you have the three flight computers handling all of the automation. A triply redundant system with all of the plane's sensors available to them, not just the sensors in the braking system.

So, the ABS is handled by the flight computers and the flight computers are their own backups. The automation will attempt to degrade gracefully into alternate law. If they all go, the plane reverts to direct law and the pilots interact with the base fly-by-wire system which has little to no automation.

Failure of the flight computers are rare. Every other part of the braking system is less reliable than the flight computers.

From another angle, if a failure caused the flight computers to crash, is there also a problem with the braking system? By having a clear, defined failure mode, a pilot only needs to be trained to land the plane with manual braking.

When the flight computers drop out, the fly-by-wire system becomes directly connected with the flight controls. This includes the anti-skid functionality.

With the above design, it doesn't make a lot of sense to add a layer of complexity between the flight computers and the fly-by-wire system. The redundant flight computers are the backup systems. They can run with partial functionality. If they all fail, the plane reverts to a known, extremely well tested, working systems.

There are multiple overlapping failure modes already. Adding another failure mode is a bad idea.
Same here. It's just a disc that is usually already outdated on day 1, and many times, has many bugs that were fixed in said day 1 patch.
I have heard this explanation a few times, but what i don't get is why doesn't a long term vacancy trigger an adjusted loan to value ratio? Seems like it would cause an appraisal to be much lower than just charging less rent and actually getting a tenant.
I take it for granted that human beings won’t last forever as a species, and that’s probably a good thing. It would appear we have the unique privilege of creating our replacements from scratch. Hopefully we don’t screw that up and finish with a gray goo scenario.
That's not the real original thing. Since you copy pasted the same thing, I will correct you here again.

ARM have got a long list of discarded or ignored technologies too.

They've had several attempts at SIMD, and even when they did SVE it turned out that the "Scalable" didn't extend down to microcontrollers like RISC-V's V extension does and they've had to introduce the slightly different and incompatible MVE as well to cover that.

It will be interesting to see what happens in a few years when some applications start to want vector registers longer than 4096 bits, the upper limit by design of SVE's scalability.

And then there are things such as Jazelle and T2EE.

I firmly believe -- and have since it was announced in 2012 -- that the fixed length nature of aarch64 will eventually prove to be a mistake. Code density is important.

They could do a mode like Thumb in the ARM7TDMI (which I have a ton of experience with), but it was Thumb2 in the Cortex series which really propelled ARM to their current heights. There is no room in the aarch64 encoding to do a Thumb2. It would need an entirely new ISA encoding.

I think what probably happened is ARM managed to roughly match the (pretty awful) code density of x86_64 with a fixed length encoding and decided that was good enough as x86_64 was the only competition they were going to face in the 64 bit space.

Except it's not.

Temporal queries have been part of the SQL standard for a while but are mostly not supported by the major databases. Some databases have partial support or extensions that add some temporal capabilities.
? is not "syntactic noise". Having an indication in the code of which operations might throw is very useful, and it enables a further simplification of using ordinary variant records as opposed to a special-cased "checked exception" construct.

The question was if email providers have to choose misleading people about privacy or going out of business. Specifically about IP logs.

Fastmail's privacy page says "Your data is for you and no one else".[1] So they do mislead about that. I didn't see anything about IP logs though. And Fastmail was just an example.

Nothing is even defined. There is nothing in this policy that obligates the company to do, or restricts the company from doing, anything.

This is the way most tech company "Privacy Policies" are written.

There is a significant difference between a statement such as "We (Company) do not do X" versus a promise such as "Company shall not do X" or a statement such as "We do Y. We may do Z" versus a promise such as "Company shall do Y."

Why not have our own "Policies" as users that we publish for tech companies to read. In them, we could describe what we do and what we do not do, and what we may or may not do. Tech companies could rely on these statements. You can see how silly that sounds. Yet users are expected to read and rely on hundreds of different "privacy policies", collection of non-binding statements like "We take privacy seriously".
If the old versions of records stay where they are, they will start to dominate heap pages and lead to a kind of heap fragmentation. If the records are still indexed, then they will create an enormous index bloat. Both of these will make caches less effective and either require more RAM or IOPS, both of which are scarce in a relational db.

You probably need a drastically different strategy, like moving old records to separate cold storage instead (assuming you might ocassionally want to query it. Otherwise you can just retain your WAL files forever).

I'm curious how Venus's direction is decided, since everything I can find claims it has no magnetic field (except one generated in the atmosphere).

Given that: how do you define what rotational-pole is "north", to derive east/west? Or is it not based on a planet's qualities, in which case it's likely something solar, and then what would Uranus' "north" (or east) be?
To be fair, I think they're getting that advice from health experts. It is well known based on what our health professionals/experts have been saying that children are at a much lower risk.

From the article: "Suzuki says that although he used computer software for the design, the simulation of its motion was entirely in his head only, and that seeing it take shape was a major motivation."

My method is different. I do not rush into actual work. When I get an idea I start at once building it up in my imagination. I change the construction, make improvements and operate the device in my mind. It is absolutely immaterial to me whether I run my turbine in thought or test it in my shop. I even note if it is out of balance. There is no difference whatever, the results are the same. In this way I am able to rapidly develop and perfect a conception without touching anything.

We're not talking about a beach here.

Sand underground with overburden pressure is quite stable, to the point that piles driven to it are treated as bearing piles (supported primarily on the end/tip), not friction piles (supported on sides by friction).

It's non-cohesive, so doesn't shrink or swell, and once it's compacted/consolidated, it's fixed volume and quite stable.
Absolutely love tech like this.
My little brother took over my Steam account. He kept my email address on file and I'd occasionally get emails about games on his wishlist going on sale. It was fun to buy those games sometimes as a little gift out of the blue :)
Thank you for these, I just discovered her "Is Time Real?" video linked from it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdL8CudJTcs and it was specifically on the topic I was on about in a recent comment, where my own question was whether time is just gravity, or an artifact thereof.

She also mentions Julian Barbour, who has apparently posited a theory about how time is not a necessary cosmological dimension as well. Quite a rabbit hole. I can see why people get into this.
Yeah we've had to add some weekly forced statistics recalculation on certain key tables just to prevent the large customers from going down due to indexer suddenly not wanting to use an index.

This would probably work. I can bypass network filters by just running my own OpenVPN on standard VPN ports, because it only blocks known VPN servers and performs no packet inspection or port blocking. If that's done, you might have to use TLS- port 443- then hope the deep packet inspection doesn't get you.

Ultimately they want to go for the low hanging fruit with little effort. Blocking common VPN servers takes a few minutes to do and maintain. Anything more and you've got to spend real money on packet inspection on possibly an entire country's bandwidth.
> Surely for a nihilist, "to have made an impact" is a non-goal.

Not when the reason for making that impact is for, say, leaving a legacy after your death, getting into heaven (Christianity is very nihilistic according to Nietzsche), "having done 'something' with your life." Those are all very nihilistic-as-in-Nietzsche.

Nihilism is first and foremost deferring this life for something else, and I think my peer's views definitely fell into that definition.
Massive caveats here:

- I’m not an expert

- I know for a fact I’m more than likely wrong

With that said, I just want to put this thought out there:

Since we don’t really know 100%, I posit that in order for life to evolve to begin with, intelligence is a prerequisite in nature, down to the microbial level. I’m not saying nor do I believe there are little microbial societies or anything, but a certain amount of attainable intelligence must be be there and shareable at that level of function

Therefore, is simultaneous discovery simply an extension of nature, in that it’s within natural systems of all kinds to have this, or is it only in the context of civilization, which is synthetic to the natural world?

A few comments from a health economist...

- Doing this is unlikely to save you that much money if you are insured. Your insurer isn't going to say "hey you chose the cheaper hospital - here's a partial refund!" (But this policy _could_ enable interesting experiments like that! I would love to see them.) It could potentially reduce the amount you owe as coinsurance for a given procedure, depending on the details of your plan.

- If you are uninsured and potentially face the full cost of these services, I would pay close attention to this information where it is available.

- If you find a list by CPT code, you would need to figure out which CPT codes are going to apply for your visit, which is non-trivial for complicated (expensive) procedures. Generally more than one will be involved. Some hospitals list services by DRG, which may be a little easier to interpret (but comparisons across hospitals which list by DRG and those which list by CPT are going to be a big pain).

- MANY hospitals have not even bothered to post this information because the fines are trivial. They may be increased, which would be great.

With all that said, this is a very worthwhile initiative. There are potential downsides (including the potential for prices in some markets to increase), but this is the right idea and a good start.

Talking to my friends in the city it feels like if ida had spooled up 1 day further out, it would have wiped the place off the map. I know it isn’t true, but man, the wetlands are so mostly water below town, the storm didn’t loose strength, the next time… etc. I hope ida was the second-order wake up call the city needed to survive a future cat 5 with 30+ foot storm surge.
And very precisely, too. They can't afford to keep their home because since other people want it, the taxes rise. The only solution is to sell to one of those people who wants it, and to move to a less desired home.

1) The buyer is pricing the house at its worth minus its future tax liabilities (which is what the seller receives), and the seller will use that money to purchase another house which also has tax liabilities. That house has to be worse, or the tax liabilities lower (or in the same general tax area, both.)

2) The seller is in an appreciating asset, but can't choose when to sell. They must sell when the tax liabilities become too much[*]. Meaning they must regardless of whether the property will probably continue to appreciate. This is a wealthy buyer's advantage over the seller, although this is partially ameliorated by competition between wealthy buyers who have priced in likely appreciation. But a very wealthy buyer can create appreciation through buying nearby properties to control the area, and through lobbying.

3) Also, real estate tax law tends to benefit wealthy buyers who leave rental properties empty, and can use those liabilities to offset profits they make in another area.

This seems like a formula for downward mobility. And for people to be forced out of the neighborhoods where they have networks and jobs, and have to move to worse places where they have no networks, and are farther from jobs.

[*] In the worst case, they mortgage the home in order to pay the tax liabilities, and to extend the time before they must sell - meaning that when they sell, they're actually paying off back taxes with the money, meaning they have even less (or no) money for their next residence.
> why not fulfill your potential to the best you can? Invent the future, Hack the planet.

This is exactly what I'm talking about though. If I just use my programming skills to automate some common tasks, make some nice webapps, make some fun or artful video games, etc..that feels like enough.

As far as "why not?"..because the things I list are more interesting and fun for me. And they're already constrained enough by capitalism to "provide value."

And to act like they are not worthwhile life pursuits because they aren't pushing humanity forward is a nihilistic viewpoint because it's focused on spending my life so that after-my-life benefits as if that makes it more morally correct.

Structurally, that's the same mindset as "do good deeds so you go to heaven." Just with a secular greater good. Nihilism nonetheless.
With video games there's often good reasons to want the disc so you can roll back to the v1.0 before any changes are made. Rockstar Games always adds easter eggs to the disc version that typically get eroded with updates. At least on the PS4 Sony won't let you pick and choose which updates to install for digital copies.
> It's also good to remember that each $1000 you save in your 40s has a bigger impact than each $100 you save in your 20s.

Not necessarily. Historically that is a very close call. I just googled, 8.3% real returns of S&P 500, which would make $100 invested at your 20th birthday exactly $1009 (after inflation) when you are 49 years old.

Without getting into Rust’s standard library inclusion philosophy, I would note that UTF-8 and Base64 are quite different cases, and shouldn’t be combined in this way.

String encoding is pervasive, and if the standard library didn’t have strings or didn’t specify the encoding, there would be much grief throughout the ecosystem, because you can’t just patch it in at the library level, it’s a language-level feature. So string encoding is a choice that has to be made.

Base64, on the other hand, is just a bunch of functions, nothing special about it that means it has to be in the standard library.
