What you write is perfectly true, but both tribes read that and think “Yes, that’s how it is for people in the other tribe. We in this tribe, of course, are much better than that.”.
We actually kinda have this after some serious earthquakes - you (now) always keep some tinned food, bottled water etc and just rotate it out now and then.
It is, but I would say that on an axis of:

Stupidity <——> Silliness

…Dummheit leans slightly more towards silliness than pure stupidity does in English. I think Dummheit can be both an adjective and a noun, right? The latter, “eine Dummheit”, sounds more like a silly mistake to me (like “I did a stupid” in internet-speak).

A word like “nonsense” might be a good parallel? In English that word can cover serious, trivial, and silly cases.
It’s dumb but it makes sense if you live in the meta verse.
Also true of black and white printing, but of course the whole point is that people like the convenience of being able to do their printing at home.

Nudity in proximity to anything is potentially bad if your conception of nudity is "uh oh, sex imminent, which is bad".

Maybe it's a cultural thing, but naked kids aren't uncommon here. It's seen as a natural thing.
Kragen is right that we need hackers working on building up our hardware capabilities in general. The free software movement started in an era of relatively open hardware when that seemed less of a priority.

Admittedly I haven't done anything myself, though I admire those who have.
I mean, the quote and the article disagree with what you're saying - it's not the "invisible hand of the market", it's a policy choice by California to prioritize buying from renewables over "dirty" power. Oil and coal can eat that because they have lower operating costs and fill a different need than nuclear does. Implying that this is due to the superiority of "the juggernaut of solar" seems incorrect to me.

I get there's this utopian vision of solar, and the gains in the industry have been impressive, but those gains are backed by some really deep market subsidies and policy choices - which, to be fair, were needed to get the technology off the ground. However, it's not there yet, and it didn't get there under its own power. What we're seeing here is a repercussion of those policy choices, not the a market stabilization in favour of a superior player.
It's not just a feeling. You really don't own or control the hardware. It's controlled by the proprietary firmware running in the computer embedded in it. This firmware controlled by the corporation. It will prevent you from doing anything that harms their business interests.
HyperText Transfer Protocol. Designed to transfer - mostly - hypertext, in form of HTML, now is used for anything. The form is messages over a reliable channel, messages have header and body (it's more complicated if it's used for continuous transfer). So the defining features of HTTP are that it's a deliberately small addition of structure over telnet.

Are those additions unique? Tim Berners-Lee certainly hit a good set of features, since it led to such a development. Having telnet as the base simplifies tinkering; having key-value set as the header can perhaps be improved, but still rather good. Suppose there is a comprehensive enforceable patent for HTTP - how much it would cost?

There is a history of Wright's brothers patent - https://wrightstories.com/articles/patent-wars/ - "The patent covered the control system of the 1902 glider involving the simultaneous use of wingwarping and rudder to perform a controlled turn and the ability to maintain roll stability." We know how it went - basically, this feature is used everywhere, even though alternatives could perhaps be devised (some more direct air pushers at the end of wings for control?) Does it illustrate possible fate of HTTP patent? If this is what's in cards for HTTP, for how much it could sell?

We need to find something which would hit a sweet spot with companies willing to buy rather than copy and trivially change, and where genuine re-development is too costly. I don't see something like this right now; something like royalties for RAMBUS memory was perhaps paid because there is a small window of time for the opportunity?

That is, if we consider the question as a matter of intellectual property. If there is different scenario - like, a scientist comes to a company and announces the magical process which would bring profits, but needs initial roll-out and payments to the inventor, the company's CEO would probably be hesitant.

I guess the answer is - not too much, both in immediate and subsequent payments. Small millions at most, perhaps, and that is assuming it's not here already and there is no corresponding environment around it - much less if an alternative already exist? One should look for people and companies with some special needs - military? unique markets? fundamental research? government-related economical think tanks? - where buyers would be easier to find?..

I enjoy printing stuff out to really digest it, but I absolutely agree that there is a huge amount of printing basically being done for no reason.

In a certain way I kind of enjoy printing to a printer that's not near me, if it can get away with it, if I have printed something off to read over the course of a week I feel like it adds some gravitas to actually go and fetch it.
To expand on that microservices point, there's a particular form of systems blindness that happens when people focus on one part of a system, think they understand that one part, and then ignore all the others, as if all you need to know is what's right in front of you.

I see it every day, in every team that I work with. The team works on component A. Maybe they can see that it's supposed to work with components B and C (maybe). So they design for those components alone. Meanwhile, components D, E, F, and G depend on components B and C. But because they don't directly work with each other, team A doesn't know that its design decisions will cause problems for D/E/F/G, and those teams don't learn about the limits of A. And they don't even think to ask. It's really nutty.

As a systems veteran, I already know problems are going to happen purely because of not having a deeper understanding of the system. If I ask them to go out of their way to discover the interaction of the whole system, they balk (because "that's not my job"), and upper management doesn't care that nobody knows how the whole system works. It's like this at most places I've worked. We need a revolution in establishing these conventions of building components in a system, the way the 12 factor app redefined building a modern stateless app.

So is your claim that the 2012-2015 drought was unknown to California when it passed the 2018 law -- maybe the legislature is filled with slow readers?

Again, I don't see how the possibility of severe droughts was some unforseen thing when the law was passed. In fact the law was passed in an environment of terrible fear about climate change, so you can't really argue that no one predicted this when writing the law, can you? Don't you think, if you believe the climate is changing, that your energy plan should include production of energy not dependent on the climate?

> The data listed there really doesn't seem to contradict the article's claim about more frequent droughts in the future.

FYI, California droughts have in the past lasted more than 200 years. The idea that you can count years in the last century and extrapolate drought risk doesn't work. The state goes through long secular wet and dry periods, and this is something we have known for some time.

Therefore any energy plan that breaks down if there is a prolonged drought is not an energy plan suitable for the state of California in any period of time. In fact any policy at all that breaks down during a prolonged -- say 100 year -- drought is not one suitable for the state of California. We have the tree ring data, and we know that this used to be called "the Great American Desert". That is why we fought water wars and built enormous public works, it's why San Francisco considered breaking off icebergs and floating them down to the bay in order to get water. California as a state has a highly variable water supply susceptible to century-long droughts.

Can you elaborate a bit more on why ZFS is great? I am currently thinking about doing "one final install" for my system, and am undecided between BTRFS and ZFS.

I noticed that most "hip" people use ZFS, but based on my meager research it seems actually recommended and designed for "big" data-center setups.

Why is ZFS good for small PC setups?

Yes, but what do you do?
Well, plenty of traditional prop trading firms have moved into crypto. So I'm sure a lot of those routes are actually already being pursued to an extent. The biggest problem though is due to the relative lack of regulation, most traders are really going to struggle against the exchanges themselves. Flash crashes to trigger stop loss orders, front-running between exchanges, getting caught in pump and dump schemes etc. There are just so many dodgy activities that wouldn't last 10 seconds on a regulated exchange right now. And remember, you don't need to be smarter than average, the vast majority of traders are likely systematically losing money.

Among contributors (and maybe even among the whole community), unstable is probably more popular on NixOS than the stable releases, so if anything it has more eyeballs.

The distinction also matters less on NixOS anyway, since you can (generally) freely mix and match packages from different releases.

Lots of Nix packages are totally unmodified, but many also have to be patched in able to cope with the read-only package store.

On the other hand, NixOS is, like Arch, a distro without any defaults aside from systemd. So Nixpkgs doesn't include patches that try to reshape upstream packages for the sake of some particular vision of the ideal desktop experience or whatever.
If the M1X 16" keeps the battery size of the current model, which is the largest possible battery you can take on an airplane, it will run a bit shorter than the M1 Air at full throttle (but get more done in that time), but significantly longer than the M1 Air for casual use, because it's presumably using the exact same efficiency cores.

Plenty of folks still buying GM, Ford, and a hundred other brands based on the market data though right?

If it takes a decade for someone to figure this out, and most people are buying things like this in the late teens to early thirties, then no matter what you’re going to have ~2/3 of the market who hasn’t figured it out.

Also, a lot of folks get drawn like a magnet to new and shiny, or whatever the latest marketing spiel is and don’t even think of the long term impact. Like the vast majority.
IIUC, the storage mechanism (say SSD drive and firmware) is part of trusted base for verification due to TOCTOU design issues.

Nice difficulty step up for generic low-effort attacks, however, customized SSD firmware doesn't seem like unobtainium, so I wouldn't actually trust it.
Might isn't right.
Very true. And of course, no member can admit that their tribe is that way, too, without risking expulsion.
Serious question:

While you can target a SINGLE person, the targeting doesn't tell you who that person is. So, I can target my wife - but I already knew who she was. Also, I can target someone using 18 parameters, but I don't actually know who that person is unless they click on my add and tell me "this is who I am".

So: does this violate privacy laws?
Another vote for Brother's Laser printers. Love mine, cheap, reliable and works on Linux without a hitch.
> Well, Chrome took over market share pretty easily when it released something better.

It certainly didn't hurt that they promoted the hell out of it on all of their market dominant properties. (As well as the, then common, practice of paying to have it included it in freeware downloads of all kinds; which to your point is more subsidy than anything else)

I can see your point about R&D. When a company is more profitable/less competitive, there is an ability to do more of the open ended research that can lead to great things that aren't closely related to the company business. But does that justify the lack of competition that results? The consumer harm is difficult to quantify, of course, because consumers are generally not paying in dollars for these services; but maybe search competition would result in fewer ads and a more clear separation between ads and found content, which may be more useful. You could also consider that to some degree, advertising costs drive up the price of goods sold through those ads, and therefore the lack of competition in ads may cause consumer harm in that way (but, of course that's a tenuous argument, a lot of companies will spend their ad budget regardless)

HTC Vive Pro, therefore, is a wonderful solution. It's spendy because its properly priced without marketing gimmicks like Uber, Amazon, or FB do to subsidize the price to take over the world. It's the most fun "entertainment" experience of my life.
> Nudity and sexual content was always subject to suppression and censorship, it's just that "fine art" got a free exception for nudity for reasons that I've never seen adequately explained but are almost certainly to do with class.

This is true only for very unusual definitions of “always” and/or “fine art”; history is more than Victorian England.

> - Ways to monitor my network usage and ensure Apple isn't spying on me

This may not be complete monitoring, but Little Snitch (from obdev.at) can monitor outgoing connections, alert you and let you to block or allow those. Last year when macOS Big Sur was released, this didn’t work for a while for Apple’s programs, but that was later changed by Apple.
I used to be in deep within the 15-16" camp, but if I can get a "full power" in a 14" form factor I'd take one in a heart beat. "Full power" meaning maximum number of cores, I've always resented the fact you can only get a quad core processor in the 13"... Because quite frankly, four cores ain't enough.

Also, I'm having a solid laugh because I just realized Macbook Pros are like the only good universally sold using imperial units for its dimensions (at least according to what I'm seeing). There ain't no Macbook Pro ~35cm/~40cm coming out anywhere. Honestly, is that like... a little fucking weird for folks in other countries or is it just another drop in the bucket of weird crap from the USA?

And elect another?

Why You’re Probably Better Off Buying Bitcoin Than a Futures ETF
My process is I have a list of things I hate, and if you fail to do any of them, then I love you. But yeah, my preferences are:

--

* Don't make the keyboard key placement stupid. Make the arrow-keys and pgup / pgdn a six-key rectangle that all feel the same and you're dead to me.

* Backlit keyboard is a significant plus - yeah yeah you touch type but uncommonly-used shortcut keys in the dark sucks.

* NVMe storage is table stakes at this point, much like wifi and bluetooth. Give me at least 250G, preferably 1T on that NVMe.

* High DPI display, and ideally a 3:2 screen aspect ratio. I didn't know how much I hated 16:9 until I tried 3:2, it feels like a breath of fresh air.

* Easy to open / replace components / etc. Glue anything and you're dead to me. I also hate clips with a passion. If I need to ship my laptop in because RAM is defective, no thanks.

* It's gotta charge via USB-C. Battery life must be at least 5 hours, but more importantly, make it easily replaceable. A 10 hour batter is only a 10 hour battery for like 6 months.

* Ports should include HDMI, USB-C, USB-A, an SD card reader, and a headphone jack. Ethernet is a plus.

* Please put the webcam at the top (lookin at you, Dell XPS...) so people don't have to look at my dirty fingernails and up my nose. Built-in hardware disconnect / cover for the webcam a plus.

Don't really care about a GPU, I have a desktop for that. Also don't care about fingerprint readers. Touchscreen is actually a minus for me.
HTC Vive, Vive Pro 2 are stellar and fun. I use it with Steam. VP2 is basically market leader right now. The Valve Index is also wonderful.
Something very dystopian about these kinds of stories. Wringing the market like a wet mop. A limping business model for a piece of home equipment built on low quality, adware and gimmicky nonsense. .. winning the race to the bottom.

Ultimately, there's always a market for value but there's also always a market for the cheapest possible thing.

Is it possible to have a company today premised on the idea of making a decent, cheap printer?
This is actually about software more than hardware.
Richard Stallman's spark for founding the free software movement was being unable to modify his lab printer's source code to do what he wanted it to do.

A lot of us have been conditioned to think you "just can't" modify things like firmware, or OSes, (or increasingly in phones/tablets, user-space). But for Stallman's generation, hardware devices were 100% owned, repairable and hackable by their owners. Only software and the abuse of it could so comprehensively change a hardware device from something you obviously own, to something which in a real sense you don't control or even realistically own anymore. Apple is leading the charge in this as other companies itch to pile in.
Now I want to start an MLM that buys Android devices for $50, sells them to recruits for $100, and convinces them the $500/device HTTP revolution is just around the corner.
My friend, if you have the time, learn to refill your cartridges on your own. I own one of them cheap HP 25XX for home use, I simply refuse to buy new cartridges and give in, I instead got a refill kit with 100ml bottles of all colours for ~9$, and now all I need is 15 min of time for refill and the slight risk of creating a mess during the process.

The HP cartridge holds an approx 9ml, so that gives an idea of how long those bottles should last(Also colour is 9/3 ml colours). Once these are done, I can just go ahead and get just a few more bottles which drives the price down further.

I've had no issues in printing apart from the first time I had done it. I obviously would recommend getting one of those brother Ink tank ones, but there's no need to trash an HP if you can figure to do this and keep a backup cheap maintenance printer.

Btw, I still use the stock cartridges that came with the printer, saving on a ton of cash and pain of hunting for cartridges.

P.S: I've tried this on 2 other models too with no issues
Who is the real problem when it comes to climate change?

My bet is that Microsoft and Windows laptop manufacturers aren’t embarrassed by this because approximately no one uses their laptop as a portable device. The laptops just sit on the desk charging 99.9% of the time. People use their smartphones the rest of the time.
So this morning I noticed that the LEDs were on on the computer I built even after I shut it down. That's how it works by default, but I didn't like it, so changed the setting in the BIOS. I have to think that something reset back to the defaults, and I'm guessing Windows 10? I built it so I know it, but I guess I still don't own it. And don't get me started on how Windows 10 never goes to sleep like it should.

Maybe I'm curmudgeonly, but I'm tired of things I choose being changed on me, things I own be used to profit on me, things I use to spy on me. And its not just software and hardware. For example, I bank at X, but they've merged with another bank and are becoming Y. So now different website, different checks, different name, etc. and for what? for a line on some CEOs resume. Similar when I make a loan and the loan is sold to someone else, and my payment processing routine has to change to accommodate someone else's profit-making deal.
