In my province in particular, mandatory vaccines were implemented in a small subset of regulated industries - but then the rest of the private sector moved in lockstep to require proof of vaccination for service and employment.

For my demographic, the moderna vaccine is no longer recommended - we are told to get Pfizer instead even though the vaccines are basically the same (including the risks moderna is being advised against for). The Astra Zeneca vaccine was suspended because of blood clotting risks and Jansen is not available yet.

I do not believe that your freedom and civil rights should be contingent on getting an invasive medical procedure using a product from a profit seeking corporation trying to sell as much of its product as possible. Especially one as corrupt as Pfizer.

My doctor has advised me to wait on vaccination because I already had Covid. I trust my doctor more than I trust the government telling me what medical interventions to get, coercion or not.

I also do not believe any random person should be allowed to coerce medical information from you that would typically fall under doctor patient confidentiality.
Yeah. We've used it on servers. It's good in a small setting where a handful of Nix experts can run the infrastructure show.

Getting it to scale to an organisation of hundreds wasn't feasible. As soon as we needed to start expanding "infrastructure" beyond just one team, and rapidly hiring new engineers in the context of rapid growth. Training and learning curve was intractable. And we cannot just easily hire NixOS experts like traditional Ubuntu OS.

Nix made complicated things possible but simple things complicated. Pretty much every new feature request could only be processed by a handful of Nix experts, and it was obvious that wouldn't scale with the growth of the company.

Frankly, Nix solves problems that the industry has already solved or knows how to live. Its lack of adoption from software vendors makes the economical cost/benefit unatractive.
This site is garbage. I downloaded the article and the only mention of blue light and sleep is "the authors concluded that high-quality clinical trials are required to achieve clarity". As for their claims of blue light blocking, read their limitations section.
Sorry but that's impossible. FIVE vaccine related deaths/issues in your small social circle?

Next you are going to tell me you know of a vaccine-related car crash.

Please revisit your priors or who you put trust in, as they might as well lie.
Lots of room for optimization - hops are exaggerated height; props running even when on the ground.
Yes, it is largely a labor law issue. Twitter mob is not just cause for terminating the employment of someone. Using anti-defamation laws against individual bullies is another possibility.
It's all about laws and how society is run.

The US lax laws and lower fees attract ambitious people who innovate and create new markets. Where software dev is not a cost center, but a profit creator. Europe regulates and hampers incentives for business so software devs keep plodding along in old markets where tech is a cost center.

It can't change in Europe. Their society requires squeezing business to support other things.

Thankfully (I guess?) that isn't a problem: the files are uploaded to Sharepoint folders specific to conversations or channels.

So the issue I detailed would only rear it's head in your scenario if you sent employee #1 their review twice.

Humorously, this issue does not occur when uploading files directly in the Sharepoint interface – despite the interface looking like it stepped out of Windows 95.
FWIW Shopify used nix-shell for the developer environment. If all they need to do is import standard packages - it's actually quiet a good solution for multi-platform dev environments.
A pervasive lack of backbone among individuals in institutions is key to this. The shunning and shaming tactics used by online mobs are a very particular form of human aggression. Speculating on a correlating factor among the people in these institutions who seem so consistently vulnerable to it may be itself, problematic, but it's as though the organizations are missing anyone with the instinct to challenge or deflect hysterical twitter mobbings, and where we are now is a result of that absence of resistance at all.
I think what you are looking for is advanced battery management. You can give the operator of the vehicle the perception that the battery is near depleted and have say 10% reserved to get to the next charging station. The owner should probably have the option to specify what "reserved" is based on their location and driving habits or by default the car could learn this and set it dynamically. Modern batteries can be monitored for age/capability/c-rating near real time with the current battery management systems even down to individual cells. It is up to the car manufacturer to implement this and do something with the information.

It is unlikely there would ever be extra physical batteries, as the battery pack would have to contain the same current capacity as the primary battery pack to meet the current rating of the motors. The battery pack makes up most of the weight of an EV.
>Xenophobia answered the plaintive colonizer’s question: why do they hate us? The response had nothing to do with land grabs, theft, indentured servitude, or occupation. Nor was this an exercise in Romanian-style ultra-nationalism. This xenophobia was due to an in-born condition, a reflexive fear and hatred of all strangers that, anthropologists duly explained, stemmed from the racial inferiority of these primitives. Race-based xenophobia became the missing piece of the colonists’ puzzle.

I guess the takeaway is that the term "xenophobia" was just as much of a shallow, falsely dismissive rhetorical technique originally as it is today, used to underhandedly deflect from legitimate grievances regarding forced integration and cultural erasure.
An ESP32 with a 160 MHz CPU and 4 MB of storage? That's totally overkill for a project like this ;-)

Jokes aside, probably any microcontroller with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi interfaces could do that kind of job without any problem. Is just processing every data frame you receive an sending them to a serial data interface, that isn't that difficult with the hardware and tools we have nowadays.
This is a great post, intriguing.
Or just someone who made a stupid joke or otherwise set off someone with enough followers. The corresponding antibody reaction of a lot of institutions, especially companies, is to make the offending thing go away before the next news cycle--especially if the person involved isn't senior. Easier to fire someone than have to publicly defend their behavior. And, if the organization is going to take any other sort of material action, might as well fire the person anyway as they're done with the organization.
Canadian citizens have freedom of movement in our constitution, it should not be contingent on getting an invasive medical procedure using a product from a foreign profit seeking pharmaceutical corporation.
I don't think movfuscator proves you only need one lisp primitive. Just that any language can be evaluated using mov's many variant forms.

I also used system for a number of activities that are unavailable in Linux and rely on WSL to give me a reasonable facsimile to a nix box.

I loved the new WSL2 upgrades but rolled back because I simply couldn't do the rest of my work as quickly in Windows 11. Forcing the grouping of apps on the Taskbar was major productivity hit for me, as was the simplified context menu in Explorer.

>> Your site could use a filter for various data markets.

>What other data markets do exist? I'd definitely be happy to integrate other markets too.

That's not what I meant. I haven't seen a way to cluster the existing offers according to the type of datasets. E.g. market place scans, CAD models, medical studies

Say I have the technology to scan ebay. I want to answer the question: which datasets should I create to make the most money. I don't want to waste time looking through all other type of data.

>> Right now, investing in the index is risky because competing data sets to core assets of the index could drive down its value fast.

>I'm not sure I get what you're saying. Mind elaborating?

In a working market, prices should go down to production costs because there is no lever for the producers to demand more money.

If you provide transparency and access, I would expect that there will be massive competition for any data set that is easy to produce. Thus prices will go down. In other words, unlike other coins, early investors will be punished.

So to attract investors, you first have to bring down prices in a sector so that investors don't pay a premium for buying from the only supplier.

This will drive away casual data providers but it hopefully will attract enough consumers that efficient data providers will accept the ocean protocol as a distribution channel.

Take this with a grain of salt since I am not an expert at all.

Anyway, your page looks nice and clean. I hope your project will be successful.
But seeing some of the responses here you'd think Microsoft had started streaming a video feed of your entire desktop with no way to disable it.

I once asked, seriously, whether there was any guarantee that enabling telemetry in a Microsoft developer product would not result in sending code we were working on back to Microsoft, inadvertently or otherwise. No-one could give me a clear confirmation that it would not. The responses were about 20% "we trust Microsoft, they'd obviously never do this" and about 80% silent downvotes.

If my business could be facing considerable damages for violating confidentiality agreements if something like that ever happened and sensitive information did leak, that's just not a convincing response. Microsoft have been pushing mandatory telemetry, mandatory and automatically deployed user-hostile updates and radical changes in data usage like GitHub Copilot. You'd have to be crazy to give them any benefit of the doubt in this area now. If they want phone-home on and they promise they're not going to take anything they shouldn't, we want to see the technical measures and legally actionable documentation to back that up.
That doesn't justify why Managed Direct X, XNA, Silverlight (on WP 7), .NET Native got the axe.

Even the Longhorn failure, which resulted on the "everything COM", that then evolved into WinRT (basically COM + IInspectable + .NET metadata + sandboxing), could have worked out if everyone actually worked together.

I don't believe that if there was actually a willingness from Windows/C++ crowd, they couldn't have helped to push the .NET runtime into improvements similar to .NET Native.

Or to put into another way, the efforts done by Google and Apple improving the Objective-C, Swift and ART, respectively.

In fact, probably the reasoning behind bringing Midori learnings into .NET Core (thus making C# into D like), has more to do with C++/CLI being Windows only, and the managed languages competition outside Windows than anything else.
I'll have to verify this tomorrow, but I am 99% certain I have seen this message when sharing the same file name between different 1:1 conversations. I guess it's possible that it is a configuration issue since our Teams/SharePoint is self-hosted at my company.
I had the same reaction when i read it - why is this necessary? Discord is a terrible experience...even here, right off the bat, the link is expired!

I'd even argue that simply using Discord just makes projects seem juvenile, and not to be taken seriously. Its the modern equivalent of "ask your Pro question on our AOL Instant Messenger" page...yeah, no.
Lol! This is the most concise statement of BM hypocrisy I’ve ever read. Well done!
I think it’s more likely a company that size and the technology as a whole keeps them stuck around a local maxima, only able to iterate around it.
I wasn’t making an analogy. Facebook and similarly scaled up communication networks ought to be treated in ways similar to public squares for the purposes of understanding the nature of their effect on speech freedoms, now that we have seen them grown up to cover most of the world.
This makes sense to me. Moreover, soon enough you won’t be able to have a Linux running on WSL without Edge being preinstalled or injected - just as has been the case with Windows for a while now.
They've made it clear that they are happy to update you the latest standards when the standards move on.
Is that just tracking along with the "democratization" of psyops?
There are really only two analogies he could have used, because there are only two cases in (post-Mongol) history where a nation with the best universities in the world experienced a calamitous fall from grace. One was in Nazi Germany.

The other incident was Napoleon's conquest of France, Italy, and Spain, and the damage that was done by the anti-Church reforms imposed on those universities. This is a closer analogy, since Napoleon's reforms were nominally "liberalizing" in that he had proclaimed the abolition of nobility and its continuation via said institutions. But it's unlikely that the Twitter mobs would have been any happier about being compared to Napoleon instead of Hitler.
I think they probably meant vs a desktop browser. But you can run Firefox with uBlock Origin or Brave on Android.
"Wrong, there are many OLED's"

Many? They are less than 1% of current fleet of computers, I don't know a single person that has one. Still very expensive.
Kind of orthogonal to your questions, but perhaps it helps:

NixOS solves OS-level issues. If you don't appreciate that you're having them, or you're solving them by other means, you might not see the appeal.

I tried NixOS on three separate occasions before it stuck. My existing setup is based on Debian and templating config files across machines (small heterogeneous network). This system can rebuild any machine from a blank slate, and so the first two times I tried NixOS I didn't see what it could give me - my configuration was already quite declarative and centralized.

The third time trying NixOS, I was aiming to make an image for a Raspberry Pi (after a Raspbian apt-get upgrade had borked a system once again). Seeing that I could make a full build from source, cross compiled or emulation compiled, with a few lines in a config file made it all click. It felt reminiscent of the Lisp curse where such a thing isn't well documented, because it's just second nature once you understand the system. I've only felt that level of paradigm changing expressive power a few times, and NixOS was one of them.

What is keeping me heading in the NixOS direction is the greater source accessibility. I've run Debian for 20+ years, and I still don't routinely modify existing packages. Whereas with Nix it's second nature because it's essentially a source distribution.
If you offer this for 40 bucks I might do it. Fuck that stupid port.
This matches my experience.
But OP said everyone should care. We know lots of people do. Question is why should we?
That’s just describing things we already have better, cheaper, and more sustainable versions of.

Digital artwork is not magic: someone holds the copyright and needs to pay for hosting. NFTs don’t help the first problem because blockchains are too inefficient; IPFS helps only if you find value in paying for your hosting using that protocol rather than something else — nobody is hosting DRMed content for free so it’s just a question of what storage characteristics fit your budget. Since blockchains are inefficient, more expensive, and require you to maintain a complex operating network coordinated with other people just to use them, that’s unlikely to be a preservation success.

Rights is similar: NFTs are a distraction by people trying to get you to buy their Ethereum. What actually matters is a legal statement transferring ownership – if you have an NFT and the artist says they didn’t sell the rights, you’ll get laughed out of court but the reverse is true if you have any statement from the artist saying they did – we don’t need PKI, even, a witnessed email or note will suffice. That’s important for the discussion about forking: just as nobody is offering truly free hosting, whatever “the community” says is noise — what matters is what a court accepts, and a community which tries to ignore that will get DMCAed off of the internet.
Here, I'll give a rebuttal, even though I don't think every internet comment deserves a reply, your comment included.

It is an outreach event. The majority of people in developed nations live in progressive cities, and hold center-liberal to outright progressive views.

Now, if you're trying to spread propaganda, good or bad, you want to do it in the most efficient way possible. Just as you wouldn't put a radical Satanist in a government role of promoting birth control, you shouldn't have your PR representative be a man who's against the very role he's supposed to be playing. Both the first instance and the last are counterproductive. An advocate for Satan would be just the ammunition someone against birth control could use perfectly, and a PR representative who's against the inclusion of the people he's supposed to play PR for will naturally alienate.

The John Carlson lecture isn't an opportunity to offer the field cutting edge science, it's an opportunity to present to the rest of the world new findings in climate science, and to inspire others to take up the banner. It is science propaganda, in the best way possible.

Just as you wouldn't invite OJ Simpson to give a lecture on sentencing reform despite his innocence because it would alienate the very people you're trying to convince to rally for sentencing reform, you should aim to have the least-offensive and most-captivating candidate give the annual PR speech. This is meritocracy, which is something that many universities aren't big on (being filled with legacy admissions).

My own views are probably not far from the person who was denied the speech, here, but I understand the value in propaganda, and having someone who would set PR back when most of the point is to captivate the public would be a net-negative, and anti-meritocratic. Despite their viewpoint being probably comparable to my own, I'm aware that PR is delicate, and public advocacy plays a large role in changing public opinion, so they should indeed step aside to let someone more publicly-accepted give the speech.

In short: Don't alienate your audience if your goal is to persuade. Go with a safer bet, always. It's not a great idea to fire controversial people, but if the goal is a good speech for PR, go with someone else. They'll probably appreciate the time to do more research.
Thanks for the feedback (I've participated in this work)

The point of the original piece was to discuss how the complexity of AWS IAM management (which is a very real problem in more ways than one) could lead to S3 ransomware exposure

Just the people in Alberta. No one anywhere else really notices or cares about the CBC. I've always appreciated having a national news source, personally. I think it's fairly high quality and reasonably unbiased compared to some of the alternatives.
Sure… that’s it.

Wealth can also be correlated with fewer belief towards human importance and stronger belief towards hard work, which means poor sleep and poor love.
> What I find missing in the internet is that people who have been doing this for years are not writing about this.

In my last job I implemented a feature store from scratch with ca. 500 hand crafted and ca 2.500 with code generator automatically generated features. It didn't only serve the current value of the features, but the data scientists could populate an 'init' table manually with (customer_id, reference_date, target_value) tuples, and the pipeline re-calculated the historic feature values for the given customer and reference_date. So if the data scientists came up with a new fature definition, after implementation (5 mins - 2 hours per feature), he - and all other data scientists - immediatelly got access to the features's history. We had so many features, that I had to implement an automatic feature-prunning, otherwise the users got lost. We could train, test, validate and deploy models within 24 hours (model fitting run over-night). When I left the company, we had ca 40 models in production, managed by 1 person (by me) in part-time (3-4 hours a week).

This was in an off-line business, so we didn't had to deal with latency by feature serving and didn't had to be able to change a feature's value during the day, so everything could run batch based over night.

Why I didn't write about it? Because it was implemented in PL/SQL running on Oracle ExaData and in SAS. No one cares about feature stores implemented with tech like that. People care about models trained in python, ported to Scala by Java devs, running in docker on k8s, features coming from HiveQL, sqoop, oozie or Spark and stored on cassandra, MySQL or Elasticsearch. But do they have a feature store with built in time-travel functionality?
It's as simple as waiting until they have enough market saturation to be able to dismiss any competition and start selling data then.
> Finally, for the first time in decades, a pragmatic kernel with a pragmatic user interface. I would happily ditch GNOME, KDE, Sway, i3, Wayland, Pulseaudio, pipewire, Freetype2, Network Manager and the other myriad of components of the current Linux UI stack for something designed with passion and a coherent vision.

All of what you have described already existed in projects like RedoxOS, Fuchsia and Haiku.

Maybe those projects (Including SerenityOS) have more in common of being a complete and unified OS than having tons of fragmented system components and projects competing against each other like what you see in the linux desktop ecosystem.

This wasn’t a problem when they standardized on micro USB and USB-C came along
Totally agree. I read online still but I read a "daily edition" which is obviously static. I also read a news weekly on a tablet.

I could read the paper versions but for me, having the digital version happens to be more convenient. Point is, simple daily / weekly / monthly editions are my strong preference for an undistracted read of the news with a definite beginning and end.
From https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/QANDA_...

Any technological developments in wired charging can be reflected in a timely adjustment of technical requirements/ specific standards under the Radio Equipment Directive. This would ensure that the technology used is not outdated.

At the same time, the implementation of any new standards in further revisions of Radio Equipment Directive would need to be developed in a harmonised manner, respecting the objectives of full interoperability. Industry is therefore expected to continue the work already undertaken on the standardised interface, led by the USB-IF organisation, in view of developing new interoperable, open and non-controversial solutions.
Why Tiktok? 95%+ of these incidents came from Twitter. FB, Tiktok, Instagram, for all their shortcomings, is rarely the place where these incidents happen.
