Great point! Although I'd think P(knife hijacking)*Cost(knife hijacking) would be much much larger than the cost of knives being confiscated, even if P(knife hijacking) is very small, just given how cheap knives are and how big that Cost is. I think the bigger point is how much the software would cost and whether the reduction in X justifies that expenditure. Also need to consider cost savings of being able to fire some TSA staff. That reduces the theatre aspect perhaps, but maybe not if it's done the right way (I can think of a few ideas)
> Paris is already in the process of removing more than 70% of its on-street car parking spaces.

That seems like a terrible idea. This just makes it so that people have to depend more on slower modes of transport such as public transit or bikes. In cities with well managed population density, there’s nothing that can match cars because they take you direct to destinations at high speeds with no waiting times or stops. Such a drastic reduction in parking spaces means people will lose time, convenience, and likely travel less. While committed urbanists may see that as a win, it will be a hit to quality of life for many who expect road infrastructure for vehicles as a basic service.
Thoughts on Identity and Relationships
I'm reminded of Valve talking about supporting Linux for their half-life2 engine. Their experience was that they were able to find some fabulous engine speed up improvements that they then backported to the windows version.

The common thread with supporting Linux seems to be that it's not necessarily worth it from a revenue/market size point of view, but there are all kinds of intangibles that you only get by doing cross platform development.
Barcelona is not a place where children have to commute in large groups to avoid crime. I do not know where you got that idea.
As part of my undergrad statistics course on experimental design I tested this very hypothesis among about 60 students and found no significant difference in preference between cola poured from plastic, canned, or glass bottles.

Still, there’s nothing better to me than a cold glass bottle if I had to drink soda.
And once you close off roads to cars bus services will instantly improve on account of not being stuck in traffic any more.

A lot of cities are investing heavily in specialized bus lanes and the like; not a bad idea as such but it always seemed like a bewilderingly complex and expensive solution.

Then again, practically speaking, you will have people foaming at the mouth and rioting in the streets if the "human right" of being able to drive a car anywhere is taken away. You already have people ranting to no end about bus and cycle lanes. Twice someone nearly ran over me on the cycle lane and then proceeded to rant at me that cycle lanes were all bullshit and that I should fuck off with my bike (it's the type of incident that really makes you doubt if physical violence is truly never acceptable...)
> Configuration is just a short artifact. It's not a creative work and is therefore not copyrightable at all, whether by AGPL or otherwise.

I'm doubtful. For example https://github.com/wikimedia/operations-mediawiki-config is wikipedia's config. It is not short, and much of it is complex enough i think it would be copyrightable (ianal)

I agree though a very traditional list of key value pairs that are simple facts like where to find the db, might lack creativity to be copyrighted (ianal). But how many real deployed systems have that simple a config. More generally i would prefer that the license was less ambigious about this especially in an international context (e.g. rules are totally different in uk over what can be copyrighted)

> I'm not convinced obscurity helps against spam at all. DKIM and blocklists have done much more against email spam than any form of "security by obscurity" corporate scheme has.

Gmail et al use techniques beyond dkim that are secret. However i meant more like web spam where you can't just rely on source vouching for users. For example on wikipedia there is a feature where admins can write "code" that block patterns in edits. When used against persistent vandals, they are often secret lest they use the info to adjust behaviour. That's the type of thing i mean.

> if you are coordinating with the developers, then you have their explicit permission to temporarily withhold those changes (AGPL copyright holders can still grant exceptions to the license)

That only works if one entity holds all the copyright. Even then, does that mean forks cannot have coordinated disclosure?
And recent studies show HFCS alters the folds in your gut, lengthening them. This increased surface area significantly increases the amount of calories your intestines can extract from the same volume of food.
The international online-meeting corner case is interesting but I think you’re off the mark for the most common use case for these kinds of human readable time stamps: the local event begins when the local calendar shows the given date, and the local wall clock shows that particular time.

My birthday party begins next year on May 1st when both our Siberian clocks say it is 4pm.
Perhaps I didn’t explain my opinion clearly, but I think we might have different definitions for what constitutes bias. You’re suggesting that a difference in outcomes means something is wrong or unfair with the algorithm. But what if it is that right wing users simply engage more, or that the right wing news outlets put out better content, or other such factor? I wouldn’t view the increased algorithmic amplification as problematic if there were such root causes behind it. Put another way, I am taking an equality lens (equality of opportunity) rather than an equity lens (equality of outcomes). If we take an equity lens, then you can start questioning why any number of things don’t get the same amplification - it doesn’t have to stop at a binary of “left versus right”.
Got the idea from them being one of the crime capitals of Europe where visitors are asked to practice war zone vigilance.

At some point you literally just need more houses. The Bay Area grew by a million people while still being pretty low density.

Been in Paris two weeks ago as well to visit my girlfriend who's been living there for 11 years.

Scooters are in the process of being banned in Paris because they are too dangerous and in Rome, where I come from, they are going yo be heavily regulated (mandatory helmet, reduced speed, designated pick up and drop locations, etc. ) because they caused a +35% increase of brain traumas to teenagers

Not everything that looks cool on first sight it's an actual improvement.

> Can a campaign like Mozilla did to promote firefox when ie6 was a monopoly work?

Yes; it worked. somehow, they blew the goodwill away.

/me still a Firefox user. I'll fly away if something better comes along - FF is very much a compromise.
Explain your reasoning for mentioning covid vs. car accident, cancer or heart attack.
You can manage and launch multiple Firefox user profiles using Firefox’s about:profiles page, though that UI is clunkier than Chrome’s.

Mozilla’s “Multiple Account Containers” extension can automate some of this. Cookies are separated by container, allowing you to use the web with multiple identities.

yes, and they succeeded in exclusion of minorities, and they were not cooperative communities.

redlining was a policy of banks. people in a community didn't vote for it. would they, had there been a vote? no one could say, but the point is it wasn't up to them.

so by my reasoning there are fewer vectors for discrimination with a co-op.

A lot of people here saying to install Firefox in the comments for a thread about how Google goes to pretty much any lengths it can go manipulate the market in its favor, when Mozilla's funding comes almost entirely from Google and Mozilla has been making many suspiciously baffling and stupid decisions for years now to destroy its own market share, is really rich.

I use Firefox when I need a fat modern browser and not something like Netsurf or Nyxt, but that's mostly just a futile symbolic act of defiance on my part. Anyone who thinks Mozilla is the company they once were and that they really are trying to fight the good fight for the open web is kidding themselves. Their brand is being the underdog non-profit open web activism company, but I can't think of anything they've done to meaningfully fight for that. They've sure wasted a lot of time on stupid side projects and ad deals, and I guess they still have Gecko because the code already exists and it'd destroy any facade of competition in the browser market if they switched to Chromium, but if they really were the company people think they are they wouldn't have laid off so many critical teams in 2020. They certainly wouldn't have shitcanned the Servo project, really the only possible threat to Google's de facto monopoly over the web and the biggest meaningful way to fight for the open web.

I know it's been said a ton but the fact that they did that while giving their incompetent CEO a raise and are continuing to put funding into cancerous Web 3.0 shit (VR in the browser? really?) and dumb side projects like their VPN grift should be enough of an indicator to anyone with a brain that Mozilla is controlled opposition at this point and probably being paid off by Google to tank their market share. Maybe it sounds like I need to take my tinfoil hat off, but after everything that's been happening lately with Facebook and Google I don't think this is much of a stretch at all.
The notion that top experts were on the case, then suddenly locked out, points to a theory that they DID solve the mystery and don't want the answer made public.
Replacing something in your pocket isn't really the problem, the watch with a built in cellular connections can already do that just fine. It's replacing a 6"+ touch screen retina display in your hands that's the problem. So far wearables have no answer to that.

Is that true though? nullability is a area I've heard /u/pron mention may be tackled in the future, mutable records seem like they will be tackled with the 'withers' concept in the future. Checked exceptions + changing the sugar of .stream().map I don't see ever changing. Properties I am unsure of.
If I drank a can of Coke every day, that would equate to 21 g of phosphorus.

Grain fields get fertilised with around 250 kg/ha of superphosphate, which contains 20 kg of phosphorus.
The thing about Speck is a shame if it turns out that it's a good cipher. Speck is trivial to implement, has decent performance and doesn't rely on S-Boxes. It's basically all anyone could ever ask for and a design I can very much appreciate. As a block cipher, it has different trade-offs than the djb ARX ChaCha20, which is a stream cipher.
Interestingly, my go-to hangover/nausea remedy has always been Coca Cola. I had no idea that OTC anti-nausea medication also contains phosphoric acid, or that it was even an antiemetic (or not, as it seems).

I've always put it down to the fact that Coca Cola is very effective at washing out the taste of vomit.

Exactly. Did an oil company exec tell you that their sales are down before the earnings are released? That's insider trading. Did you hire a helicopter with a thermal camera to see how full their storage tanks are? That's perfectly legal.

This is the kind of outcome to be expected when we shut down local production and concomitantly lose local skills. As we've seen with masks, we've lost the ability to retool quickly.

This is a matter of national strategic importance and there have been far too many instances of it in recent years. If we want to continue with free trade then we ought to sort out what's of strategic importance and what's not.
What you may be missing is that that comes from necessity -- again, for an app like ours, 1% of our users are on Linux. Producing packages for Ubuntu along takes about as much time as producing for Windows and macOS, where almost all of our users are.

Testing and packaging for, say, the top 5 distros would get the effort-per-user to an even crazier extreme -- we'd literally be at the point that supporting a user on Linux takes 200 times more effort than supporting a user on Windows. You either need a very large number of users, or a very large value per use for that to make sense.

For non-OSS projects, most of the time the smart decision is just not to support Linux. I've worked at other pro-audio companies, and they had Linux versions internally that they didn't release because of the support costs.
yeah and look how quickly every urban city went to hell when those rules were abolished.

No, it just means our body knows very well how to regulate less acidic stuff coming in, all day, everyday. One can expect in that case that digestive system is not perfectly balanced around ph of stomach in both directions, but rather overequipped for the most common case, and underequipped for the opposite.
No, they don’t care. If they did, their relatively paltry donations to charity would be closer to 95% of their net worth at any given moment. They are wholly incapable of spending their current ~$100b, growing at insane rates YoY, in their lifetimes.

I will only buy a Lenovo laptop if it comes with a BSD and Linux friendly WiFi chipset. Most of their laptops are whitelist-only when it comes to WiFi cards, and tracking down the correct brand and revision of a specific compatible module is not worth the time invested. I have a stack of older Lenovo laptops that I've acquired in an attempt to reverse-engineer the BIOS/UEFI whitelists. Smarter people than me have been able to make it work on certain models, but overall Lenovo seems to detest the idea of a power user daring to switch to a better/more compatible WiFi module, despite their reputation for being "hacker's laptops".

It's for this reason the next, and probably last, laptop I buy will be the Framework.
Arguably this is more true in shipping than other disciplines. There are great economies of scale in shipping, and drivers/operators will be required regardless of wage. importing goods from low-cost areas, transporting goods with underpaid workers, and selling them in minimum wage stores doesn't seem like a great business model.

Do shoes need to cost $20 or do the workers need to be paid $20/hr to afford $60 locally produced shoes?
Well, aside from the government ineptitude-angle of the story (or conspiracy to block investigation, whatever you want to call it), CJD is definitely a frightening disease. Especially if the immediate cause cannot be identified and isolated.

Article doesn't say how the patients are related, in geography, time, etc. Did the patients all have surgeries at some point? CJD/prions can persist on medical equipment used to treat a CJD patient even if sterilized in the usual (non-extreme) ways. Where were they located? Not enough info.

A long time ago, like 1997, I gave up eating beef (for a variety of reasons, one of which was mad cow being in the news -- I know, that's a little extreme on its own, but I had other reasons too). That's at least an avoidable factor. But to think that there's this disease that is highly lethal and incurable, and potentially transmitted by medical instruments, well, ugh. creepy. Like Lasik surgery in some medical plaza office, where the tools are lightly sterilized after operating on the eyes, one of the umm, most highly concentrated prion-carrying body parts of someone who carries a prion infection.

I happen to comment on this thread particularly now because a distant friend-of-family member just came down with this disease, and died within weeks of first symptoms onset. My family (who were skeptical, borderline mocking, of my swearing off beef years ago) were suddenly interested in talking to me all about it...
How to run better meetings: use the jury model

>> I guess in the US/UK it’s regulations and constant supervision by parents well into teen years?

Speaking from the UK... not really. Well, there are regulations, for example it's illegal to hit a child, but broadly you are free to allow the risks you feel appropriate.

What they are tends to be quite specific to location e.g. rural vs urban. Constant supervision would be unusual for teens.

I actually disagree with your main point, and see more similarities than differences across cultures!
So, when processing bytes, can you name an operation where the existence of an unsigned type would even make a difference? I'm still not seeing it.

I am but one atom in a molecule in a drop in an ocean, but I have pledged to never be involved in the hiring of any person who has had any willing association with any organization responsible for efforts similar to Pegasus, with no exceptions. I will also immediately resign any job that violates the above as well. Trends like this are not to be taken lightly - for the first time in human history, the concept of an all encompassing tyrannical dystopia is a realistic possibility, and you deceive yourself if you think that there aren’t very very powerful people that get an almost erotic thrill at this possibility. Contributing to the advancement and deployment of this technological capability is the very definition of a violation of whatever meager ethics our profession possesses, and should be taken as essentially a credible threat against literally every other living person.
Which is a bummer for folks that loves the cleanliness and power of "basic Scala" (pure functions, immutability) without wanting to get into deep FP theory (typelevel, zio). That has been a really nice pocket to be in for teams that have the discipline to not get clever with it. Same with teams wanting to integrate with Akka on scala.
