Hey! Yep, you can totally use a policy engine like XACML or OPA with Zanzibar. We talk about that a little further down in the post.

The "public" example was meant to be a simple example of attribute-based access control but you could replace that with other similar ABAC examples for why you might need to bring in an additional policy engine.
> the long term effects of mRNA "vaccines" are unknown entirely.

This is just such an absurd scientific and immunologically ignorant answer that I see get trotted out again and again that I need to respond.

The mRNA vaccine is literally a scientific miracle.
We introduce a piece of RNA, which is basically in the form of the RNA that viruses use to hijack the protein generating machinery of our cells, in order to produce an antigen our immune system can respond to without the runaway potential of an actual infection.

The mRNA is broken down, antigen production stops, and our immune system is primed against a new foreign and potentially deadly pathogen.

There is no conceivable mechanism for long term effects (and here I am responding to claims around impotence, infertility, ‘changing your Genome’) - you’re literally just getting the immunological benefits of antigen stimulation without having to go through an infection. It’s Nobel prize winning. Just because it’s new doesn’t mean it isn’t highly well understood and characterised. It’s such an ignorant statement it literally hurts

> In fact if you have millions it is quite easy it seems

People want to make millions to enjoy them and spend them.

Basically no merchant accepts crypto and the crypto for cash schemes are not equipped to convert huge amount of money.

The only ones who could exchange hundreds of millions or billions in BTC for cash are the cartels or their clients in USA/Europe/Asia.

These people are white collar crime type individuals, if they try to reach them the aforementioned organizations would quite literally mop the floor with them.

So your example of decades being wasted chasing an initial tiny effect size, all the time, was... An example of a failed mechanistic hypothesis that wasn't based on a tiny effect size.
You're drawing what appear to be arbitrary distinctions between failure modes without making a good argument as to why one is a reliability issue and another is not.

My printer might jam if I feed paper crooked or poorly. My assemblers might jam if I feed incorrect components through misclicks, misplaced miners, or filled outputs.

My printer might fail from the entropy of wear and tear. My assemblers might fail from the entropy of biters attracted by generated pollution.

My printer might stall from running out of paper or a filled output tray. My assemblers might stall from running out of inputs or a filled output belt or chest.

Why is the printer arguably unreliable, but the assembler "100% reliable"?

Failures of my printer are not caused by magic faries sprinkling dice rolling pixie dust on my toner cartrige. Failures have physical causes. That factorio's assembler failures have modeled causes as well, instead of an arbitrary and magic dice roll, does not detract from those failure modes being reliability issues.

That my printer fails far less frequently than my Factorio assemblers points to my printer being more reliable than my Factorio assemblers. Your point that reliability could be even worse misses my point, which is merely that not only does Factorio already avoid the fiction of "100%" or "perfect reliability" - but that perhaps Factorio already models reliability worse than "real-life" in some aspects already.

Short of obviously poor quality components, materials and builds, almost nothing is objectively rubbish in cycling, because cycling is about experimentation and personal choices, which can be all over the place.

A lot of cycling is recreational and light commuting, and so performance factors do not matter.

Airless tires are certainly right for someone who abhors punctures and wants to avoid them at all costs. Factors like efficiency, weight or ride quality don't necessarily matter his or her use case, or even if they somewhat do, they are overridden by the abhorrence of having to pull off to the side and deal with a flat.

Yet, even though cycling is the one sphere where airless tires could have a chance, is is overwhelmingly dominated by pneumatics, just like motorism.

I don't think you will see anyone place well in a road cycling competition, if they bring airless tires. But, well, so what? A lot of the bicycle tech is driven from the top down by the competitive sport; and maybe that results in certain technical choices being promulgated at the entry retail level that are not necessarily relevant to every user.
Most NFTs are technologically uninteresting for one reason or another.

Either the actual art exists off-chain somewhere and there’s just a hash of it onchain, which the “owner” controls with the private key of the transaction or contract the hash is in. But the art can still be copy-pasted all over the Internet and the only way to prevent rando’s from using it for free is with traditional copyright law, so it’s not actually decentralized.

Or the art itself is onchain but it’s just some avatar manually drawn in Microsoft Paint (cryptopunks I’m looking at you) and not pseudo-randomly procedurally generated in the smart contract or anything technologically novel and notable like that.

The concept of NFTs is interesting and may lead to something truly cool someday, but most of the implementations right now are trash.

Disclaimer - I haven't reviewed all the NFT implementations, there are too many. But if there are any that are fully on-chain, decentralized, have zero off-chain dependencies, and are artistically and/or technologically novel, then please let me know!
So you think the US should have completely shut down their borders?

This approach is in line with his overarching political strategy of exploiting Americans’ fears to justify racist, nativist policies."

Nothing stops you from developing and installing your own apps on your own iPhone with Xcode. AFAIK you don’t even need to pay for a developer license. You only have to pay if you want to distribute the app to others.
But the entire value proposition of cryptocurrency is how difficult it is to regulate via traditional law enforcement mechanisms.

Which can be used for good, of course - the standard example being things like "transferring money across immoral embargoes". But in this case, if the difference is regulation, then the question for ordinary folks who are not themselves trying to pull a scam is - would you rather work with dishonest con men who believe they will get in trouble with law enforcement if they actually con you, or with dishonest con men who believe they can get away with it?

A lot of bcel/aspect code had to be rewritten. I've had to patch a couple transitive dependencies to bring a 2018 platform from Java 1.8 into Java 12 land, and it's stuck there forever since after 12 something else it depended on was removed. We're migrating to a simpler, saner runtime, but still, stuff takes time.

Hmmm, I see where you are coming from.

In the eyes of the humans of the world, would they want a car that is 100x cheaper so that they could afford one?

I’m guessing yes, but it sounds like you are arguing that it is in their best interest to not have that desire play out. This type of paternalism is common, especially for people that like to make decisions for others :)
Recently got a Tesla without Full Self Driving (FSD) for many reasons (it's $10k for a full install as one). Autopilot is now like a product name that has several features and FSD is a different beast. Within Autopilot, there's an Autosteer (Beta) feature.

The Autosteer seems to work decently well on highway without hover hands, but it does require no sharp turns and any traffic or stop and go isn't what it was built for. I can def. see it nice when doing longer road trips.

That said, I've turned Autosteer on several times and maybe 70% comfortable with it. It does like to hug the right side of a lane, and when I'm in the very right lane on the freeway with on-ramps and exits, there have been times I didn't want to take any chances and assumed full control of steering, or else it drifts into the exit lane and gets back into the right lane, depending on the road lines and how they're drawn. This is with me having knowledge of how computer vision works - I wonder how anyone w/o tech knowledge can put their full trust into these things or to manage the situations correctly.

So even w/o the full FSD feature, I think there's still some work to do on the Autopilot autosteer (it could be a subset of FSD, maybe different ML models all together underneath) - and city driving FSD probably needs even more work.

Surely by now, everyone should know that when someone is claiming anything is "unhackable", they're either fools or liars. Especially if that thing is something that will be in the physical possession of a group of people who have nothing but time on their hands and a strong motivation to defeat security measures.

You may want to check out the *BSD OSes like FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD. Just try them. Watch some videos to see what they're about. They might very well appeal to you. I personally think they are great and am embracing them (particularly OpenBSD) over Linux for most new computers I set up.
So the hospitals _are_ full but they're actually not full, their capacity is lower than last year?

Do you have any sources that can back that claim? It seems like a first order, simple, cause and effect thought, but it's unclear if this is anecdotal or there was a mass firing of nurses that's got under the radar. Let's signal boost it, if so.
You're right and I noted the section of the washington state driving code that applies. I'm pretty sure that every state in the US has a variant of this same law and picking the wrong one doesn't matter for the purposes of this thread.

Phil made it sound like he didn't like the ad, but the reason for the removal of the exception was that Amazon was advertising that people could buy books from their phones, clearly promoting the phone-first use case.

If you have any business understanding that you should understand that no business is a charity: neither Amazon nor Apple. Any money left on the table is just free money for the shareholders of another company.

They made the point that Apple devices were more popular than Kindle, implying that Amazon was basically using Apple devices for lead-gen for book sales without paying Apple their cut. Their original deal was that Kindle was supposed to be a device where you bought the books, and you could just read them through the phone app as a convenience. Since the primary use case shifted they began enforcing that fee.

This seems to be a consistent app store policy, however it's been spun over the years.
Isn't that what I'm saying?

Because of economic issues that would arise, as I touched on in the end. There's no reason for China not to wait 30 years to be in an even better position and create reliable enough supply chains and allies so that their economy cannot be rattled significantly by the US.
> The only thing different about knowledge work is that you're not producing a commodity.

That’s a categorical difference. Not some minor detail.

It’s also not the only difference. Knowledge workers contributions are necessarily much more interdependent than the contributions of people who make commodities.

But see that if you think of knowledge work as little different from manufacturing commodities, your arguments and conclusions makes sense.

I just think your assumptions about the similarities are not correct.

You were talking about active radar ranging a lot though which is not at all what these are meant for. It's like complaining a car can't tow a trailer, it's technically true but it's orthogonal to it's intended purpose.
Unlikely this would have happened had it not been for the perceived Chinese threat.

Rather than just posing an open ended conspiratorial hypothesis that has no evidence (it is trivial for anyone to get hold of a vial and sequence the mRNA to actually test your absurd hypothesis) do you have a proposed endgame for ‘custom mRNAs’ to what must be a vast conspiracy involving thousands of scientists?

"... but it's just not as widespread as Linux..."

Of course "BSD" means more than just a kernel. Nevermind all those OSX and iOS users. Companies are interested in more than just the BSD kernels. Many years ago, I remember someone from Google approached NetBSD asking about their libc.

Most "BSD folks" seem to know a lot about Linux. Yet I dont get the same feeling from "Linux folks". I have never learned anything about BSD from "Linux folks", but I have learned various things about Linux from "BSD folks".

NB I use both. I do like Linux.
I'm concerned that this whole narrative implies that research is the problem. It feels like a continuation of when people were shocked, shocked when it was revealed that Facebook was conducting experiments on people. Well, the issue wasn't the A/B testing exactly, but rather the publishing of the experiments in scientific journals. As you know, public outrage put a stop to that. (The scientific publishing, not the A/B tests)

Now, there is outrage over "secret" internal research on the effect of Facebook on mental health. Well, i guess that means Zuck will just gut the entire research domain investigating user wellbeing. Too bad.
I think the underlying value prop is totally orthogonal to this thread. The fundamental value prop is that software can trustlessly, directly, and irreversibly make financial transactions, which certainly does enable regulatory arbitrage. I understand why other applications haven’t convinced most people, but that’s a different discussion.
It is illegal to turn right there without signaling though.

I 100% agree that we should have done and should still do more to prepare for this and future pandemics.

But I still wonder how you're not getting this. The vaccine greatly reduces your chances of getting sick, and getting stuck in a hospital, but it doesn't completely eliminate it. If everyone between 18-50 refused to get vaccinated, we would still see a surge in hospitalizations. Do you not understand the word "protected"?

Do you think that the utility of a young person getting vaccinated is zero? Or do you think it's just too small to be worth the inconvenience? I don't know why the conversation turns into "why do I have to do this" - can't we focus instead on why you aren't willing to help your community?

And again, has literally nobody addressed this in the last 18 months that you've read? I'm sure my tone is more hostile than I intend, but I'm really confused at this point.
No - nobody needs to get the money. You can decide to only work for ethical companies and by doing so you do contribute to the pressure from the labour pool for companies to act ethically.

Yes - there are tons of developers, but a lot of senior devs won't nab offers from facebook due to their poor corporate profile and their hiring is, as a result, incredibly desperate at the senior level. Those folks who do consent to work for them command higher salaries because of this shortfall and most of us just get jobs that don't leave a bad taste in our mouth.
Does Lunduke use a teleprompter and read his blog posts at conventions verbatim? I used to subscribe to his YouTube channel, but it eventually just became blog spam that he repeated in video form.
No. He has nothing to do with Linux (as in the kernel). Parent is right to call it just Linux.

Is there anything that CanCan can't can?
I've dealt with similar but less extreme behavior in lane keeping systems where it senses the right-side reference veering away so it "corrects" and follows, causing a veer to the right, so it might not have been trying to turn but instead drive next to the crosswalk at the same distance it was from the curb. Regardless of what happened, that's a really bad bug to have.
Is there a similar tool for doing graphics?
The linux kernel is only one part of a functional system. RMS contributed gcc, gdb, emacs, gmake and more into the gnu system, which are all used in most distributions.

That said, I think the GPL is his most important contribution, because that has kept such projects (such as the linux kernel) available to all.

Codecov will count untested files towards your coverage, as long as you properly run your tests. For coverage sonar cloud's implementation is rather poor. It also doesn't compare reports nor does it have any decent support for monorepos.

Sonar cloud also works with same coverage reports, so if you have that problem in one tool, you're likely to have it in the other.

Lastly, Codecov doesn't access your source code and does not slow down your CI, by at least 2 minutes.
