Agreed. I imagine future deals will be structured as a special tax. Same situation, fundamentally. But less potential to be spun by the Guardian.
>> “Why 480 shards? … 480 is divisible by a lot of numbers”.

This is an important point, doing things divisible by 12 gives you a lot of flexibility. It’s not a coincidence both time (clocks) and degrees (360) are multiples of 12.
TBH this is how I summarized AMP being bad, but some are curious more exactly what it is:

"Google tried to push something that gives Google more control, Google used the control Google already had to strongarm websites to start using it or their search results would go farther down. "

It should be illegal for a police department to accept any source of funding outside of government. The potential for abuse is so obvious that I struggle to imagine how this is not already the case.
Yeah - I think we're in agreement.

I don't know about qemu for a PI/arm in general, but you do have to be careful on x86, because segmentation limits aren't checked by default, and you can be lulled into doing things that don't work on hardware (I messed up secondary processor starting), and if you don't frequently test on hardware, it's easy to forget things. (See also homebrew games that only work on emulators)

But, you can certainly wait to start on hardware until you've got it started on qemu. Debuggability is a lot better unless you've got specialized equipment for your hardware setup

Yes, but nukes weren't decades away from being deployed in active intended use-case. Fusion is at least 10 times further-off right now than nukes were early in the war. That's why I pointed to a modern weapon like hypersonics, and not nukes - because we're talking about many decades.

And more to the point, nobody waited for nukes. The allies tackled the problem with the tools they had available at the time, and made use of the nukes when they were ready.

edit: the comparable timeline would be "currently approved power plants that are planning construction could put the brakes on climate change", I mean, if it were true. Because deadlines for substantial impact on climate change are "next few years, decade or two tops", and fusion will be ready far too late.
My company has this. It encrypts any file touched on USB. And other software logs every app run. Prevents casual copying but easily circumvented. But somewhere logs may have enough info to trace the source of leak I guess.
In the fox story, they note that he ran a criminal gang of about 3 people, and recruited young men looking for a father figure, so you might be right.

They paint it as him being the primary one doing the bad things with the others as just lookouts/help w/ hiding evidence.
I used to swear by chat widgets (Intercom). But after going full-time, I wanted to save money so it was the first thing I nixed. Over the years, I've found that email is much easier to use and is a high enough barrier to entry to stop most stupid questions and chat spam. And I got so many stupid and spammy questions that it really drove me to the point of never wanting to even check chat.

Also, I now wake up to a lot less people telling me to "fuck off." :)

I wonder if neuroscience will ever come up with a treatment for serial killers that would cure them of their murderous obsessions.

I believe some serial killers are constantly thinking about murder, while others might have two sides to their personalities that avoid thinking about the other, like a switch.
>At about 5pm a group of protesters ran from a nearby camp to the drill site, leaned ladders against the fence and began to climb over, according to a Wright county police report obtained by the Guardian. Police told them they were under arrest but they kept climbing. Then police fired at protesters with “less-lethal munitions” – weapons that are more likely to injure than kill someone. Wright county officers fired pepper spray at protesters and arrested four people.

Is it safe to say that the fenced in drill site is private property? If so couldn't the headline alternatively read: "Police demand payment for enforcement of trespassing law"?
ML engineers / data scientists are regularly moving terabytes of data around at Amazon.
Free egress is huge for my data pipeline workloads. I hate getting silo-ed into a single cloud provider, because my data lives there and it's too expensive to run the compute jobs on another cloud due to the cost of moving the data.

For example GCP has a much better Kubernetes offering than AWS, but everything's native to S3. So you get stuck using crappier products. If R2 offered free egress, I'd move the entire data lake there just to sidestep this problem.

Shorter version: "the concepts of paradigm, and paradigm shift, are real."
It really defies comprehension how much Mozilla has fallen over a decade. This link (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Br...) gives a broad picture of the incredible fall they sustained.

They were perfectly positioned in the late 2000s, all they had to do was to keep laser focused on (1) offering a Web agent working for its user vs Google's Web client (privacy, extensibility, compatibility), (2) web standards, which would have limited the damage from Chrome and resulted in a healthy competitive landscape.

I for one refuse to believe that Google's "monopoly on the most popular Web properties" is responsible. Duckduckgo is a tremendous success, Opera does way more than simply surviving, Brave has a tiny team and strives, etc. All of those share having a vision and executing with a laser focus on a single aspect of that vision.

Anyway, now Mozilla is so far down in market share that they are virtually undistinguishable from the rest of the pack.

Prediction time: with the recent developers layoffs and teams restructuring, the writing is on the wall: barring a positive external impetus, in a few years tops, they will fork Blink and continue their descent to irrelevancy. At first they will spin it as a necessary evil to pivot the dev effort back to the browser, but no one will be fooled.

I have a question, i ve read a book recommended on here, about fusion, called the "The Future of Fusion Energy". (It was very good, can recommend for a general topic overview and history of progress).

But i do not understand the general approach to plasma-vessel construction, in particular, why it is so passive. Its either "bend" to orbital shape dicated by the plasma physics properties when constructing (Wendelstein, Stellerators etc.).

Or increase the containment vessels magnetic field strength (scaling up the reactor, high-temperature-superconductors) until it is capable to hold all the chaotic increasing fluctuation inside no matter what.

My Question: Is there not a more active, not brute force approach for containing the plasma? Sort of "Whack-The-mole" countering the escape-events as they happen in a Tokamak?

If i understood correctly, the system adds to itself constantly energy (its a reactor after all) and any chaotic butterfly wing flapping on the plasma current can shape up to a tornado breaching the containment and ending fusion.
So two new pieces of evidence are offered up by this article, firstly that Zodiac was identified by several witnesses as having a forehead scar, including being drawn on the famous sketch of him, which matches a scar Poste had at the time. Secondly, some sort of new solution to the cipher is possible by omitting Poste's full name in some way.

As exciting as it would be, I always take these claims about famous cases being solved with a grain of salt. It seems they were also denied DNA evidence from another California case, and bringing up excitement about Zodiac might let them press the issue further. The scar I don't think is definitive proof by any means, but if there is some new explanation to one of the ciphers, I would be very interested in seeing it.
This rule is no good.

I would be interested in reading a broader analysis of how scientists and other experts are misleading the public. I imagine there is enough on this subject to write a book. My layman's perspective is that it seems to follow from the belief that the public cannot understand the scientists' preferred decision, and that therefore the scientists must mislead the public "for their own good". The obvious example of course is the health authorities misleading the public on masks early on so that hospitals would be able to stockpile supplies, but I'd like to see even more places where the narrative is being twisted.

This is a silly comment. First, its not any different that creating your land-based fusion energy. Yes you are adding more energy into the system, thus more heat. In any case, space solar arrays that inefficiently convert electricity while in space would not be heating the earth directly. Just the inefficiencies in how that energy is used later.

> 21. In two dimensions, there are infinitely many regular polygons. In three dimensions, there are five Platonic solids. In four dimensions, there are six platonic polychora. In all higher dimensions than four, there are only ever three regular polytopes. (Maths 1001, Richard Elwes)

This implies that Platonic Solids are the 3D analogue of the 2D regular polygon. This is not the case.

The Platonic Solids are merely all of the convex solid regular polyhedra. When the caveats are removed there are (at least) 48 regular polyhedra:

> It isn't, considering how little information I've given you

No, I'm still pretty sure it is obvious because it's that hard to get the authenticator to do anything without you. The trouble with the approach you prefer is that anything you can do "as a backup" crooks can do "as a crime" just as easily.

The FIDO people weren't interested in offering a convenient way for crooks to break into your systems, even under the name "backup", so, there isn't one.

Astonishing. Not only the modern conservatism in this regard, but also that lesbianism was legal in the UK even in early C20, so the SG position was even more strict. A morbid but interesting area of study perhaps is the long tail of repressive laws left by the Empire around the world still in force today, particularly in African countries.

One wonders why a country (SG) which professes extreme economic liberalism (well, until it doesn’t…) cares so much about social illiberaism like this. It’s not like the PAP needs to appeal to tubthumping angry populism for votes, is it? (Genuinely asking. I assume that people vote for them on the basis of administrative competence. Wrong?)

Perhaps it’s more a case of “rocking the boat on this topic can only harm us, and gain us nothing”.
I think there's also something to be said for the canonization and building on more advanced concepts. For example anti memetics, or pataphysics, or even short hand like Scranton Reality Anchor, or telekill alloy. All these concepts are tools the an author can use without having to reinvent or explain which makes shorter fiction easier. Or they just can ignore them entirely if it's inconvenient to the plot. Every entry there stands on the shoulders of all the others.
I think people should read the actual report (easily available from the https://www.btha.co.uk/ website). After numerous pages of discussion, the report includes an appendix which gives a table of all the toys that were investigated.

One commonly recurring thread seems to be that toys are marketed at babies, using images of children that are far younger than 3. But the organization's independent lab determined that these toys were safe only for older children, like 3+ or older. Another theme is missing labeling related to safety or age.

Regarding the helicopter mentioned in the article and commented on by grandparent, in the table it is revealed that the toy was in fact labeled as for ages 3+. Something that breaks easily, releasing button cell batteries, should not be labeled 3+.

The anecdote about the three-year-old girl who almost died due to swallowing the magnets actually revolved around a ten-year-old who the magnets were for. Those should have been accompanied by warning. Unfortunately, that anecdote is just that; it is not linked to anything in the data. The data does list neodymium magnetic balls (item #58 in the AliExpress table) which were accompanied by no safety labels at all (ouch! in spite of magnets being one of the top swallowing dangers: I heard this face to face from an ER doctor). The anecdote about does not specifically identify that product, though, or mention what the issue was (e.g. did the parents not know about the dangers of magnets, and received no warning from the packaging, which could have caused them to act differently, such as closely monitoring the ten-year-old's play with the items and subsequent tidying?)
You omitted the other criteria. Only one of the following needs to be satisfied for the law to apply:

* Annual gross revenue generated in Ohio above $25 million.

* Controls or processes the personal data of 100,000 or more consumers during the calendar year.

* Derives more than 50% of its gross revenue from the sale of personal data and processes/controls the personal data of 25,000 or more consumers during a calendar year.

If you control or process the personal data of more than 100K consumers, or have more than $25M in Ohio revenue, then it doesn't matter where your revenue comes from.

Also, gross revenue from sale of personal data is straightforward to measure and verify: How much did you get paid for the data? Profit is not since this depends on how you allocate expenses to various parts of the business.

If it's protocol to shoot non-violent trespassers with "less-lethal" ammunition, that seems like a big problem. They weren't involved in theft or destruction, at least not at the point they were climbing a fence. It's kind of a distraction to turn this into "but it's private property" - that doesn't inherently excuse police action.

I don't disagree with you, but I felt the need to point out the positive feedback loop in the scenario you laid out, that is, the more time you use Facebook the less you spend in your real life and so the alternative becomes weaker even if it was strong when you started. People who use Facebook compulsively didn't start out with no friends and family, if they had they'd have had no reason to create an account on the first place.

And if you make up a number that is too obviously small or exceeds some unspoken upper bound, you'll be asked to re-estimate anyway. Sometimes the best way to respond to that is to finesse the discussion into coming up with a number that, while it will have no relationship to the actual effort, at least reflects what the stakeholders hope and desire it to be. At that point the team, if they are smart, will examine scope and re-plan to come up with some level of effort that they are confident can be done in the time hoped for.

In other words, get the people who want a number to tell you what number they want, then use your best efforts to scope the effort to one you can be pretty confident will fit.

> Modern languages like Go and Rust separate the error handling from the conventional logic, and that makes the code more readable.

The (result, error) pattern in Go or Result<Ok(res), Err(error)> pattern in Rust usually mixes the two. Unless you're doing and_then in Rust, but Go doesn't have anything like that. If anything, I feel like it's exceptions that separate the error handling for the conventional logic. You have your normal code in try, and your error handling in except.
