It's not moot for aviation, where GPS units can be decades old, in part due to how expensive avionics are due to an absolutely mind-boggling amount of FAA regulations.

The FAA is a giant lumbering dinosaur that spends a lot of time making sure private pilots generate huge reams of paperwork and restricting the kinds of equipment that can go into various categories of planes, when the overwhelming majority of GA crashes are 1)controlled flight into terrain and 2)running out of fuel.

We'd have a lot less controlled flight into terrain if the FAA would unclench its avionics regulations asshole. Thankfully anyone can run an iPad with Foreflight, or any number of iOS and Android apps, that provide rudimentary terrain awareness and backup navigation.

They said:

> "Computer science [..] filled with books that encourage you to write code [..] PAIP [..] has you spend much of the book reading code."

You replied:

> "There is a long and rich history of books in early computer science."

which seems to be missing the point, it's not reading books they are talking about, it's reading code as something to learn from, compared to learning by writing code, as the change which PAIP kick-started. "no you're wrong" is a low quality rebuttal, even moreso when it's backed by nothing more than the "assurances" of a throwaway account.

Absolutely despicable, and contrary to UN freedom of movement human rights charters -- of which Australia is a signatory.

When your country steps on basic human rights as defined by the UN, you no longer have an excuse to not call what's happening "authoritarian".

Sorry, but preventing foreign citizens from leaving by force is authoritarian. That's North Korea tier. No other Western country prevents outbound travel for non-citizens.
Yes, but for some resources it didn’t work :( had to turn it back again.
This is jamming and not GPS spoofing. Wouldn't the navigation system 'fail' and that pilot switch over to flying by heading? I would think the civilian craft would have to be robust in the presence of spoofing (military testing). ATC would declare a certain area as GPS off, a NOTAM or something.

I was thinking of this myself. What protects against this except for pro-rata? I am a relatively ignorant bystander to the workings of VC but even I’ve heard it’s possible for dilution (and other adverse outcomes)to be counteracted for certain recipients by issuing new shares.

"Local control" is the same thing as "states' rights" in the US. States' right to do what, exactly? Local control to do what, exactly? In this case, local control is exerted to segregate geographic areas by wealth and income, and to enrich the current land owners, to the communal loss of all of society.

Vancouver landowners didn't create the massive value of their land through their labor, they were just speculators. They profit by the economic loss of everybody else, they are rentiers, parasites on the system.

If you want to hold on to a piece of land, and keep everybody else out of it, you had better start paying everybody else for that privilege. Land is fundamentally different from capital, different from wealth created by man. Its value comes from either nature, or in the case of Vancouver, by what everybody else has built up around it.

Institute a full land value tax, to return to society the wealth that landowners are stealing from society, and you can hold on to your piece of property. But you should never, ever, be able to enter into a contract with other landowners to agree to kee everyone out. That's exactly what restrictive zoning is, and it should be smashed like any other cartel that is robbing the rest of society for the benefit of the few.
OSI was not the first to use the phrase "open source". This phraseology was in commonplace use to refer to other types of publicly available material for decades prior to 1998, when OSI decided to use the term to describe software licenses.

One example from 1971: https://www.google.com/books/edition/United_States_Code/3j2P...

There are also other (quite valid) authorities on software licensing other than OSI which have differing opinions on which licenses specifically qualify.

For example: most people would probably agree that BSD was open source, despite OSI's lack of approval on its original license. And I hardly think thats 'harmful' in any way.

They are not just enriching themselves, they are enriching thousands of other people that will now have access to Vancouver that didn't before.

The only reason to deny something like this is to create artificial scarcity to enrich current Vancouver landowners, who have already been enriched enough, thank you very much. How many times the average wage does a typical Kits house run these days? That's all theft from the rest of society, and should be taxed away and returned to the rest of society.

Last time I tried, podman didn’t work on M1 because of a missing upstream patch. I have been able to make Lima work directly out of Homebrew without compiling anything locally.
Please let this not be the beginning of the end of the Home Depot website experience, which currently meets my needs quite well. Every other store that has played around with this same day delivery gigwork scheme has eventually made their shipping option worse to push customers towards subscription services.

In general "same day delivery" seems like a solution in search of a problem - if you need something ASAP, it's much more straightforward to just run to the store than to be waiting around for it to be delivered on someone else's schedule. And if you're not near a store, then it's not like a gigworker can magically conjure it either.

Also never mind that half the stuff at Home Depot won't easily fit in the average car. I had a Walmart order for some shelving units that got converted to local delivery. The online status just said "delivered" with a blank picture. I found out later the driver had seen the large boxes, decided it wasn't worth it, and refused the pickup. I finally had to go to the store during their asinine online pickup hours to sort it out.
They’re using and citing it, better than whatever GPT-3 did.

You moved to NYC right before the lockdowns, before the huge initial outbreak, it's safe to say that living in a tiny NYC apartment is supposed to have compensation in the lifestyle of NYC. I'd be depressed if my location's main attraction got destroyed by the pandemic.
I feel that Home Depot partnering with WalMart's logistics is a good idea. Let Home Depot do what it does best.

During the lockdowns in Ontario, Home Depot was drowning in curbside orders. A pickup would take an hour because of the sheer volume of orders.

Similar orders at a less popular Home Hardware location would be available at a moment's notice and waiting by the door within minutes.

Yeah, they had a few centuries of practice in the art of building.

Yeah, they had materials and techniques effectively unavailable to us (think slavery and enough volcanic ash).

Yup, we're studying structures they build millennia ago that are still standing and learning from it...

But we're pretty much convinced that they were just lucky and we are so much better at it.

OK, remittance is a big deal. I accept that. But so what? How much of remittance is moving via Bitcoin? Is that an actual use of Bitcoin, or just a theoretical, it-might-happen-that-way-if-people-decided-to use of Bitcoin?
>I don't fully agree. Instead, what I think, is that the stock holders of the company I work for are very fortunate that I work for them.

This is true and often lost on a lot of people. It's easy to blur the big picture when so many people slave away for scraps. If you weren't worth a significant portion more of what you are paid, you wouldn't be employed.

>We are very fortunate to be paid as much as we are for sitting at home and working on a computer.

We are fortunate enough to be born with the brain capacity to be rarely apt at such an in-demand and highly valuable skill. Of course developing the skill itself was hard work, not luck. We automate at pennies on the dollar. If we were paid 5x more than "market rates," our employers would merely double their investment rather than 10x. Double is an impressive return on any investment.
Yeah, but my aversion to big companies could be extended even to traditional corporations that don't call themselves startups.
It is amazing to me that a handful of people on twitter can get people cancelled, while thousands of people can march in the streets (such as in many parts of Europe, or in New York City) and be completely ignored.

Thank Goodness. Home Depot is pretty bad at grouping boxes; Your nearby store can have excess everything, but an online order might ship 5 pieces from 5 different stores in a ridiculous amount of boxes; and you'll get one item in 2 days, and 1 item 3 weeks later (which, anecdotally, you end up going to the nearby store for because you just want to complete the project this weekend.)

For what they ship, it's pretty inefficient. Zola or Crate and Barrel might be worse; You buy people house waring gifts, but every size plate in the set comes in a different super large box with quadruple ultra thick bubble wrap, protecting the box inside.
>which is that more people thought Iraq was an imminent terror threat than people believe climate change is an imminent threat.

Is it that hard to to imagine that most people are much more afraid of terrorists than slowly rising sea levels/temperatures? This isn't supposed to be an argument that terrorists are actually more dangerous than global warming, just that the combination of public fear and/or potential fallout from the refusal to act is far greater.

As for numbers, I'll present the "top issues", from 2002: https://news.gallup.com/poll/6586/issues-2002-election-terro.... In july 30% "terrorism" was the "most important" issue. The month before it was at 46%. Let's see what the voter priorties are like in 2020: https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2020/08/13/important-is.... Even though climate change was an "very important" issue to 42% of the people, it's also at the bottom of the list. If we rephrased the question to "what's the most important", I suspect that climate change will be under 10%. I'm going to conclude from this that voters care about climate change far less than terrorism.

>Support for action on climate change is above 60% and you seem to call that unpopular, so I'm not sure what your bar is for it.

We're talking in circles here. You keep on bringing up how many people support it, but fail to address:

* conflating "support" with willing to make sacrifices. Saying you "support" something costs you literally nothing. I'm sure the vast majority of americans also oppose inhumane conditions at animal farms (at least in principle), but how many americans are willing to give up meat, or at least buy free range eggs? Even though they support it, their support is so weak that it evaporates the moment the prospect of costs come up. We see this in the public surveys. Sure, people support doing something about climate change, but what do they want if they think economy is even more important? Will a carbon kill jobs? Will it make it harder for me to make ends meet?

* conflating "support" for something with support for a specific policy proposal. see: brexit where it meant something different to everyone, so if the vote was on a specific proposal it wouldn't have a chance of passing.

>My examples are valid ones of costly and/or unpopular agenda being enacted

The only one you really proved was immigration. The bailouts were widely supported by both economists and the public.

>Politicians and media/propaganda corporations have a common bully word to attack people who disagree with their bad unpopular agendas - "populist".

I'm not sure how this is relevant here. This is literally the first time in the entire thread the word "populist" was brought up.
Many people buy Reddit Premium to get rid of ads. Each month also grants you 700 coins, which is enough to award a gold and two silvers. Receiving a gold gives you enough coins to give a silver (I think, I don't remember the exact ratio). That is where a ton of awards come from.

Employees do get free gold to hand out, but the ratio isn't as high as you'd think.

I'll second this. I started using Discord solely because all of the alternatives (Skype, teamspeak, mumble, google, ...) were so bad at the time. And when I say "bad" I specifically mean the UX and the quality/stability of service. Discord had good quality service and it was extremely easy for non-technical people to use, and so for me and my friends who talked online a lot, we naturally just tried it out and then stayed because it continued to be good.

In my experience working on performance with redis (and memcache) latency doesn't slowly creep up with more load. They're fast until they're not. Some of the multi threaded forks exist because during profiling when it finally breaks the slowest parts is all the request and connection handling.

I also think that having threads helps separate points that can fail. Separate connection handling means that can slow and get jammed up but established connections can still get requests through. Slow requests don't slow down everything. Since redis does everything in the one thread stuff like evictions all stop the request handling. Its like having a gc pause in a way. also end to end encryption seems to be becoming popular in data centers and establishing those connections can be slow.

I don't think your wrong though, probably for 95% of developers redis with single thread is fine. It wouldn't be popular if it wasn't. But to be fair to myself I was asking for perfection :) At that point I dont think their would be any significant reason to pick memcache over redis.
As far as I know, any foreign citizen can leave. If they are a permanent resident, they can

Is there any real world test data out for going over the laser interlinks yet? I know there have been Elon Musk tweets on the topic, but he tends to tweet from a spherical cow engineering world when looking at future specs. From very early on the "much lower latency due to the speed of light in a vacuum" posts have been repeated but there is a non negligible number of routing decisions and hops in the starlink mesh and the additional 1100-2200km entry/exit, as well as bandwidth and handover limitations.

London/New York doesn't seem like the distance that there is going to be huge wins for back bone connected entities. But I guess that even if you can land a percentage of packets quicker via starlink, then there is some value in the trading world?
The downvotes and comments seem to be rather narrow minded. As the Wachowski's pointed out (years ago now) in the voice of agent Smith "You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area."
