> To a Russian speaker, синий and голубой are not shades of each other, they are different basic colors, like blue and green in English.

As a native Russian speaker, I always understood "голубой" as a light shade of "синий" (blue), and that's how it's defined in dictionaries [1,2].

Flutter Golden Test Secrets
Thank you Toyota and practitioners of "lean" / "Six Sigma" that told us all about the wonders of just-in-time, to only carry exactly as much inventory was needed for demand. After all, we'd rather have that cash in a bank account than tied up in inventory.

While well intentioned, the problem is that it all relies on assumptions, largely tied to demand. And when demand goes through a wild whipsaw, and everyone takes diverging viewpoints of the shape of that whipsaw curve, the highly interdependent chain snaps.

Labor is an issue for sure. But make no mistake, the "restart from COVID" supply chain conundrum owes a lot of its pain to optimizing everything to the hilt, then reacting slowly as the world around us changed.
Where/how is the book being printed? Locally? What's powering the printer? How do you ensure that the materials (paper, ink, lubricant, etc.) last all those years? What about binding/collating those pages?

Or is the printing occurring once (since the site is static)?
I can't remember if the system had Dr. as an option. Probably not, IIRC.

It is always good to question assumptions. One you could consider is the assumption that all problems are created equal. This isn’t the case. There are fundamental and practical limits to things.

For this kind of artificial muscle actuator, there are fundamental limits to the way the physics works for this design which prevent it from ever simultaneously having good efficiency in energy and power density, high strain and high frequency operation. There are certainly ways to make artificial muscles work, but hydraulics is not the way.

For rockets and space vehicles, the limit has more to do with technology and material science.

I mean…if it was anyone else I’d say it’s good that they’re suing, they should be able to easily prove this, etc.

But this man has made a lifetime out of screwing people over and ignoring rules. There have already been literally thousands of lawsuits against his companies. Therefore, I strongly suspect this will be yet another instance of him using the law to delay, delay, delay, and by the time anything happens he’ll still have gained something. Heck he’ll probably counter-sue on some ridiculous basis.

We live in an age where things move very fast and we desperately need something better/faster than law courts to sort these things out.
> The threat of leaving, or simply moving offshore, enables employers of those workers to squeeze employees into longer hours or into poor working conditions because there is no collective means of pushing back against the employer

Wouldn't the formation of a local union make an employer more likely to leave a location? Seems like it would increase the size of the cost differential between staying and leaving.
Great comment and thanks for the link to that video. I hadn't played Other M yet but I'm glad to have seen this before that day (hopefully) comes.
Awesome, thanks for the recommendation
My guess is that it only requests data that it can statically parse (e.g. HTML attributes and tags) and archives that. Anything more complex would require using an actual browser (either via Webdriver, a custom build, or a pile of hacks that implement something identical to one); and would have problems with adversarial content and so on.

I say this because I know that Wayback Machine didn't archive multi-load Flash files. That would require parsing SWFs and executing their embedded Action/ABC tags, which requires writing something equivalent to Flash Player. SPAs aren't much different in terms of archivability as all-Flash websites were.
I agree with you, some emergency zoning changes need to happen, but my inclination is still to think that'll end up being a short term bottleneck and it'll move further down the supply chain when/if that happens. Needs to be an all hands on deck (no pun intended) approach.

I know somebody working in Canada, getting paid the same as other seniors at an SF-based startup. It's quite a bit more than that range. The lease on the startup's SF office came up as the pandemic hit, so they vacated the premises and used the considerable savings to hire more developers.
Yeah, for sure. Dwarf Fortress randomizes a lot of environment and climate features but has standard crops. It looks like Moondrop Mountain also randomizes the properties of crops (similar to materials in Big Pharma).
Every CPU project I worked on at Intel from 1997-2010 was cancelled. That's 13 years of one senior engineering salary that never turned a profit, let alone the thousand other people on the related teams. One could argue the failed learnings helped guardrail successful products, but my internal perspective says, Nah. Intel throws/threw a staggering amount of money at failed projects. Wondering if Gelsinger will shake out the numerous boondoggles that litter that company.

Go to a big legal firm that's been around for at least a few hundred years. With them, set up a trust with a sufficient endowment to be run indefinitely (barring total societal or economic collapse), with the mission of maintaining this specific website in accessible format (including updates and format shifts as necessary).

It will be expensive, but this general structure is already used by various organizations with one mission or another.
Twitter is minimally regulated, is obviously & clearly an open place for conversation, in a way no other big social network is.

Further, Twitter's own research shows they have more broadly amplified the right than the left. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28953427 I for one could not be less shocked.

There is no great vast system working against a view. It's just not so. Governing a platform is hard, keeping things on the rails is hard. Not every decision is easy & clean & obvious. Saying- this is not a democratic platform, this doesn't allow open conversation, is working against me- seems patently clearly obviously heinously untrue. 99.999999999999% of conversations go unmediated, unhindered. To try to grind an axe over this is, to portray Twitter as some horrible biased agent twisting things to it's desired world view, is to me, is to threaten obvious social order that exists, is to call fire where there is none. It creates a sense of agency & power & competency & deliberateness which in no way reflects anything resembling reality.

I think the color purple is considered regal because whatever the dye used to be made from (crushed marine life or something like that) was very expensive. So if you had purple, it meant you were rich.

There are several comments here that involve other people doing things over the generations. Printing stuff, reminiscing or reflecting on anniversaries, taking legal and fiscal responsibility, etc etc.

Has anyone here been on the other end of the equation? By which I mean, has anyone here been born into a family with a similar ongoing situation?

The most effective way might be to create a work of art or science or whatever that is of such significance that others are motivated to archive and disseminate or for you. So... a trite answer might be... inspire others to memor(ial)ise you. Good luck with that :)

PS. I initially intended to mention the Rosetta project and I'm glad to see that here. Philosophers, economists, psychologists and many others have written plenty about issues with archiving, definitely worth looking into.

PPS. I'm also very pleased to see a reference to Ozymandias. I was thinking about the Buddhist philosophy that, simply, _suffering exists_. It would be worth examining your motivations. Not that I disagree with them; quite the opposite.
There's no FUD. Ubuntu actually does have telemetry. KDE does too. It may not be quite the same in implementation as Microsoft's telemetry, but it is there. There is also nothing to be afraid of here either, the effects of it and how to use it are all spelled out clearly in the respective privacy policies.

How is that any different than wanting to archive a CGI website from the 90s with a URL structure like http://example.com/?query=foo? Unless there's an index page with links to all possible query values, or you can work out how to manually iterate all possible query values, there's not much you can do. This doesn't seem to have anything to do with JavaScript data visualizations specifically.
My take now that I live in the US is that it's about people's definition of a successful and happy life.

I feel in Europe people dream of having a cottage somewhere cute and pleasant, and just relaxing with good friends, having a drink at the pub, rinse and repeat. That's the "good life". But in America, people dream of being number #1, the best athlete, the richest man, the biggest CEO, etc. That's the "good life".

So in America you want to be the best richest most famous most accomplished, and Unions seem to go against that. You're looking to compete for the top spot, not find a happy compromise, your coworkers are competition.

In Europe, work stands in the way of your dream of leisure cottage life and caring to your hobbies. Unions seem to help with that, by amortizing the job/compensation, you can reclaim some of your time for yourself, have a better pension, work less hours, all things that'll help you have more free time.
I know Cydia's your thing (I'd recognize your username anywhere) and I have an infinite amount of respect for you because of it, but I think the status quo is probably fine. iOS is a minority of the market and "Do you know how to jailbreak your cell phone?" serves as a decent deterrent to stop clueless people from butchering themselves with too much freedom.

It sounds really lame to say, but it feels like what you're suggesting is the exact opposite of what the market wants. People want a device they can give to their kid without worrying that they'll mess it up.

And I don't think this is an issue where any side actually cares about freedom; you allow proprietary software on Cydia, which sort of kills the user freedom argument, but even then, people would still be free to just buy a phone that supports them using their phone in a way they want to.

> Pointing to arbitration seems to be passing the buck. The unions had a hand in negotiating the arbitration rules and criteria.

And simply pointing to unions, as opposed to the numerous other parties involved or the process itself, is also passing the buck. Do they have a role in the process and its perceived failure? Obviously, yes, but can we blame police unions for the failures of those that they are negotiating against, or that implement arbitration?

> Of course arbitration could result in just or unjust firing, but if you accept the premise that it currently too hard to fire bad cops, you have to look for what parties advocate for the position.

I actually don't accept this premise of what is good from the perspective of police officers (or most police officers), i.e. are police officers generally more concerned with what you raised or more supportive of the job protections that enable it; and this framing was the original ask. It might be clear that "it [is] currently too hard to fire bad cops" from the perspective of the general public, but I'm not sure police officers, who the union protects, would agree - despite your framing. I think it's unreasonable to expect unions to protect every interest among its members.

The same is obviously true for your example regarding teachers...

From the article:

> The fight between the two companies centers on a 2019 agreement to allow YouTube TV on Roku. Roku said Google demanded special access to search data from Roku customers as a condition of allowing YouTube TV on Roku devices. Roku also said Google asked for prioritized search results for YouTube videos in Roku's search feature.

> Roku said it agreed to those terms, but also asked that Google not ask for any additional data. Google would not commit to that, according to Roku, and now both sides are at an impasse. Unless both companies come to an agreement before Dec. 9, YouTube's apps will disappear from Roku's app store.

Can you only clone the source via git into another public repository, or is there some other condition that causes your changes to become publicly available?

For the AGPL, you're required to share your changes as soon as you begin serving those changes to users. That includes running a quasi-open beta with your server software, as "TRUTH" appears to have done.
> If it's dynamically updating based on a database of information that's not shipped to the app in it's entirety, you either have to hope you've somehow seen and preserved all the date from exploring the app, or accept that some data may be lost.

Well, yeah, that's true of all normal websites too. That's precisely what web crawlers are for. If there's no index page that links to all pages, or some way of iterating through all the pages, you wouldn't be able to exhaustively archive any web site.
During my PhD I burned through ~10^5 of compute hours on 4-8 V100 GPU, 128 Core, 1TB+ HPC nodes. Your 10k AWS credits run out really quickly compared to that. And as a startup you are far better of spending some money on a few beefy machines before renting them.

Congrats on all the foot-shooting, Microsoft. Just as some people think you've changed, reverse course. Billions well spent.

> where this is objectively bad

Thinking here about a smartphone. Note that I'm explaining the current state of things, I am *not* excusing the state of things.

Directly for end-users, generally no real scenario where it's bad as long as they can enroll their own keys in a safe fashion preventing evil-maid type attacks.

Tangentially for end-users, locked devices are easier to make worthless for thieves. FRP on Android, or whatever Apple does, when it's locked to a user account even when reset. This is one thing that would become harder to implement when the root of trust can be manipulated on the device.

Then there's supply chain integrity for OEMs. This is the reason some android vendors only allow unlocking when attached to an online account after a delay (e.g. xiaomi). Some unscrupulous vendors would open the box, replace the system image with a malware-ridden system image, and sell those to end-users.

Finally, there's somewhat a case for DRM and similar uses. The current implementations are built on the current "security" model, where it's security for the businesses first, then security for end-users last.

Still, I agree wholeheartedly that users should be in control of the root of trust, in a way that does not reduce their abilities to use their owned devices. Add to that that standards-based boot should be used. All the time. All devices.
Then anybody trying to stop them from continuing this will be demonized for "trying to take away law enforcements tools needed to do their job properly" and say that this person supports terrorism and all the usual tricks to manipulate public perception.

> If they fail read you your rights prior to detainment any thing they get in response to their questions or requests cannot be used against you.

That's not true in theory or practice. They are supposed to issue a Miranda warning at the time of arrest or prior to interrogation; detainment is not arrest, asking questions is not interrogation. If they pull you over and ask how fast you were going, if you confess to speeding it is admissible. Even when Miranda violations do occur, if they're not on video they can lie about it. Police are allowed to lie about most things and they're trained to lie, it's probably their most-used tactic. Since they're human, once they step outside the truth it's tempting to remain there, especially if it benefits them. The word of police is generally accepted by the court as fact unless evidence directly contradicts them and that evidence is not suppressed.
I've wondered about this -- are such data structures useful? Interviews aside?
