Open source is a philosophy and ideology. Software freedoms are important.

People who release some software as open source and some software as proprietary don't believe in software freedoms. You can't mix and match without philosophical inconsistency.
According to the articles on the shooting, "live" is film-ese for loaded with anything that goes bang. It doesn't mean that there's a bullet in the cartridge.
No, a blank doesn’t have the normal amount of gun powder. Source: I’ve used them, also reload my own ammo and know this shit very well.

As to your first point: firearms just don’t go off. He pulled the trigger, while pointing it in an unsafe direction.

I won’t point a weapon at anything I’m not willing to kill EVEN IF I have rendered it inert (removing a firing pin or similar). Basic fucking rule of handling a firearm. If it’s a gun, you treat it as if it’s loaded all the time, every time. Cuz shit happens, and 99.9999% of the time it’s human error.
Dumping operates by selling below cost. If you sell below cost and your competitors don't, nobody buys from them but they still have to pay rent and the salaries of their factory workers if they want to maintain the ability to resume production, which drives them out of business. If you sell below cost and your competitors match you, they lose money on every sale, which drives them out of business.

Then you have no competitors and can start charging the monopoly price, and no one tries to enter the market for fear you'll start dumping again.

Charging nothing for a product with no unit cost doesn't work like that. You're not forcing anyone to sell at a loss and the intent isn't to raise prices after they're gone.

The concern there is that you could come to dominate the market (even if the price remains zero) and then leverage that into other markets. If one IDE has more users than any of the others (market dominance) and it integrates with the vendor's hosting service and their proprietary APIs for their proprietary operating system and their app store and payment systems, that's more like tying than dumping.
One reason to slow it down could be that the company needed more time for implementation work to get compliant.

At Google's scale, I wouldn't be surprised if this was a factor.
Ask people if you can hang out with them, go, be friendly, keep going.
When the problem is "real", it will be too late for solutions. We need to do something right now. Besides, I'd argue the problem is starting to be "real" right now. California, Australia, Siberia and Greece were on fire this year, Germany had historic floods and the East Coast keeps getting devastated by hurricanes.

I also disagree with the tactic of shifting responsibility to the individual to avoid doing anything where it actually matters. My individual contributions to climate change are negligible, this is a collective issue. We need to get industry and corporations in check and the only way we can do that is with heavy regulation.
A company being legally allowed to do something doesn't implicitly make that thing fair or ethical.

You can simultaneously believe that Google has the right to quash any paper, and believe that doing so arbitrarily is unfair. So yes, she was treated unfairly. And that's absolutely relevant to people's decision making. Like, what do you think it's irrelevant in relation to?

Its not clear what you mean by publicly, nothing was done outside of Google until after she was fired.
I never did hear the annual marathon reading, but I did visit the museum when I lived in Massachusetts and I recommend it.
With ‘people who uproot our lives’ you’re talking about antivaxxers I assume, that needlessly perpetuate a pandemic that we could have defeated months ago? People who are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands, while still requiring the reasonable rest to pick up the externalities for them (eg people who cannot be vaccinated)?
Depends on how many calories you burn.

If calorie intake is 1 and calorie burn is also 1, you have 0 surplus calories. Let's say you have 1 extra calorie (keeping it simple) , the source is important. Alcohol > sugar > oil > bread/carb foods > veggies/fiber,etc... in terms of how much of that 1 cal your body can extract and convert to fat for long term storage.

I wish there was diet alcohol lol.

You could add a couple of communication primitives and have Erlang.

But...it’s been done.
Also, to be pedantic: Brandon Lee wasn’t killed by a “bullet tip”. He was killed by a bullet. A bullet is the projectile that comes out of the weapon. A cartridge is the whole thing: case, primer, propellant, bullet.
It is the runaway nature of our late-stage capitalistic "utopia" that large companies just absorb anything that touches their edges, continually growing larger, and absorbing ever more. Skype, LinkedIn, GitHub, StackOverflow, and Slack were all nicely-running, profitable businesses, with agendas that made them attractive to end users. But their owners all had a price, and now they're all part of monstrous companies with agendas that do not necessarily line up with mine. On the one hand, this is perfectly understandable. On the other, I think the government needs to stop these sorts of mergers and acquisitions to create vertical (as well as horizontal) monopolies. We're living in an age of modern-day "robber barons," and we need the government to return to policies from those days, including STEEPLY progressive taxes, and vigilant anti-trust action. Unfortunately, the Citizens United ruling will make this an impossibility until it is "repealed" with new law.
I understand the excuses, but the "time to initialize" thing is also just outdated tradition. These things (even the HBA stuff) are modern chips that can do zillions of operations per second.

It takes a long time because we have simply accepted the tradition of "initialization takes a long time".

There are certain bottlenecks like loading boot images over relatively slow SPI, but the synchronization margins between components are like 10x bigger than they need to be simply out of poor engineering.
Surprisingly, this is actually a much more practical solution than what many other people here are proposing.

Sure, if one has money enough to sponsor a trust, then that'll work. But for those with more modest means, storing it on a blockchain is a solid(!) alternative.

The biggest factor here is the choice of the blockchain. One can go with special purpose ones like you suggest, they take care of the details of storing the data, but those blockchains risk losing momentum.

But it would be quite cheap (compared to setting up a trust) to use Bitcoin for this too. Bitcoin isn't meant for this, but there are ways of encoding the website's data and have it be part of the Bitcoin blockchain, spread out over multiple transactions.

The issue there is that the algorithm to deconstruct the data, as simple as it might be, would need to be separately communicated.

A slightly more riskier choice technically superior choice would be to do this on Ethereum, since the exact program for reconstructing the website from the data in the blockchain can also be deployed as a smart contract on the blockchain. So all the great grand children would need to be aware of is the address of the contract, and that it is on the Ethereum main net.

That said, one risk is -- while the specific blockchain might remain, who knows what it'll be called 500 years down the line. So the problem would be, while the website "exists", it's URI might change.

Interesting questions.
Here's my amateur understanding of how this works.

Inflation is different from hyperinflation. Inflation comes from a variety of causes and reasons. But hyperinflation only comes one way - government.

Forget money for a moment. Think in terms of the stuff that the economy produces. When the government wants too much of the stuff, they have a choice. They either raise taxes, or they print money. (Or, I suppose, they just take it at gunpoint and don't even pretend to pay for it. But at that point you have a dictatorship and not an economy.)

Raising taxes makes it clear to people that the government is taking from the people - the government is going to have more, and the people are going to have less. That's unpopular - so unpopular that it sometimes leads to the current government losing power. So governments that don't want to face the unhappy population sometimes choose the other alternative, printing money.

The problem is that printing money doesn't produce any more stuff. You have the same stuff with more money chasing it. That gives you inflation. And that's OK, so far. But the government usually wants to keep using more of the stuff. So next year, the cost of everything went up because of more money chasing less stuff, and all the employees demand raises because everything costs more, and everybody's unhappy because their income isn't enough to buy what they expected to be able to buy. So the government needs to buy even more stuff to be able to give away to make everyone happy. So the government prints more money so that it can buy more stuff. This feedback loop is what gets you to hyperinflation.

Two additional comments. First, the separation of the Federal Reserve from Congress, the separation of the money-creation authority from the spending authority, is a really big deal. It's enormously important. Any attempt to break that down should be viewed with immense suspicion.

Second, Modern Monetary Theory says that the government should print money to spend, and should use taxes as needed to remove money from the economy to prevent inflation. I also view this with profound suspicion, because it moves the inflation-control decisions from the Fed to Congress (or else it moves the taxing decisions to the Fed, but so far as I know nobody is suggesting that). Congress is going to make political decisions rather than technical ones; this is likely to end very badly.
So? You still treat it as if it were live.
I have recently been trying to figure out something like that as well. The best idea I have come up with so far is to convert the RSS feeds into an email feed with rss2email and then filter the email feed.
I think you might be the type who regards themselves as very intelligent, but who then undermines that intelligence by arguing in circles. I could pick apart what you wrote, but I think you could also pick apart what you wrote, if you were motivated to do so. You simply aren't motivated to do so, which is interesting in its own way. To take one example:

"AFAIK, we aren't even at 50% usage over the past 150 years"

Yes, but the rate keeps increasing, yes? 50% of what's been used has been used since 1990. That's 25% of the total in 30 years. But I suspect you knew this, so it is curious you chose to ignore this.
As an introvert, I have found that I do best with situations that expose me to the same people for a while. For example, clubs and groups that regularly meet for the purpose of an activity. There are often many such things at most colleges - just think of some activities you enjoy doing and look at the directory of clubs.

And I wouldn't worry about having missed out - it's never too late to start. I wanted to be on my school newspaper, but didn't get around to it my freshman year. But I joined my sophomore year, got super into it, and was editor by my senior year.
Ah thanks, two more, though still four deaths over a hundred years not too common. One bored person playing Russian roulette with blanks and one complete failure on a straight to video production in mexico.
It's what you can do with the TPM. With the TPM to hold keys, you can require that e.g. bootloader changes be signed by the vendor. It's hard for malware to convince an ordinary person to go into BIOS and disable vendor locked bootloaders. Of course, Microsoft also gets into trouble here, because sometimes the vendors (and Microsoft itself) don't put the option to disable locking in the BIOS.

s/crushing competition/providing a great experience to their customers
I prototype business logic in prolog by turning client requirements into predicates. This allows me to formalize their prose and to verify I understand it correctly by asking the client for expected results for a given input/scenario. These programs never make it to production, though; I rather see them as a shadow spec.

EDIT: IMHO one should learn it just to get introduced into the mindset of declarative programming. You can implement a sufficiently fast and complete prolog easily in any language if that allows for a clearer solution to a specific problem than explicit specification of control flow.

"Newsboat", a command line RSS reader, definitely has keyword searches and a ton of other functionality for complex filtering and grouping: https://newsboat.org/

It’s a bad habit to show your frustration for the customers you don’t have in the store to the potential customers you do have, so it’s poor behaviour but it can also be understandable
So actors are children that cannot be expected to take responsibility for their actions...

I don't necessarily disagree. I too long for the day when entertainers were considered nothing more than trained monkeys. This guy still needs to go to jail though. He could pretend he's Trump while frowning in his prison cell if it makes him feel better. I'm sure SNL could spare a new cinematographer.
My inner voice: "Scale those damn bastards! Build a whole bunch of these, stack 'em on land and boy you've got yourself something really special. Nuclear driven CO2 suckers."

> This is licensing and if you don’t like it you can take a hike cause licensing keeps people fair. Without it everyone could and would take everything and anything protected under copyright.

Which is exactly what SCO were saying. How soon do we forget how much we hate it when the corporate interests take their turn at bat over licensing? If your license permits you to be "that guy", it's clearly not libre. Maybe no one ever claimed AGPL was libre but this is definitely a huge reminder that it's not.

Mind, I'm not arguing that they didn't violate the license. My issue is the ruthless animosity with which people suddenly seem to love aggressive software license enforcement. Maybe I'm too old and crusty, but I would hate to be in a position like this, and would hate to put others in the same position. Especially when all signs point to this being an accidental go-live.
You've got it backwards.
Shkreli served time because of public opinion and the things he revealed about the medicare drug pricing [1,2,3]

Shkreli's case shows the partiality, politics and bias embedded in our justice system. He was unable to even serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest as very reasonable covid safety precautions despite his crime being entirely nonviolent.

The justice system is in many ways the government's instrument of vengeance. You can clearly see this with O.J. Simpson's 33 year sentence in 2008 for armed robbery. Essentially, a new fluff case was used to dole out an improportionate sentence. as retribution for the murder of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman. [4,5]

The truth is that Shrkeli pissed off a lot of people in powerful places. None of the investors wanted him tried because he ended up making them all a lot of money.

I’m not really a big fan of total compensation numbers when it comes heavily weighted into stock.

After all, if I wanted to be paid for stock performance I would’ve been a stockbroker (and like I pointed out up there, gotten paid way more after 20 year survivorship).

Also, I didn’t think it needed to be said but apart from Apple all the FAANG companies are really young, Google is only 23 years old. Back in 2001, they had less than 500 employees. I’m not one of the golden era. If I were, you’d already know my name and I of course would be a multimillionaire.
NVIDIA and AMD's drivers currently offload a bunch of stuff to driver-owned worker threads for you, they've been doing it for a long time.
Even assuming it’s 100% legit documents. In an environment where all parties do bad things, but country A selectively exposes parts of country B’s dirty laundry in a way that would benefit country A and uses Wikileaks as the tool to achieve that - well it’s hard to see Wikileaks as this neutral party that does unequivocal good for the world. I’ll change my mind when Wikileaks publishes oh I don’t know, details on Putin’s palace maybe.
The problem is that if you turn around and use those carbon materials in industry, then you really haven’t captured the carbon at all. All that would accomplish is playing an emissions shell game, allowing fossil fuel consumers to shift the emissions to someone else.

For carbon capture to be useful from a climate perspective, we have to actually lock away the consumed carbon somewhere where it can’t enter the fast carbon cycle.
So preventing free speech which you don't agree with is itself free speech. Got it.
Winning $100K+ from Hackathons
The problem isn’t the proof of concept, it’s reducing the energy penalty. It takes a lot of energy to reverse combustion.

I learned a lot from this comment. Thank you.
Land-based synthesis strikes me as more problematic. There's a lot of gain in offsetting fuel use entirely (solar and wind generation, both of which see fairly extensive use).

For a large established base there might be some benefit. But there's also the last-mile problem.

Aircraft are effectively addressing the last-mile fuel delivery problem directly (by carrying it with them). They tend not to loiter long over the engagement area.

Long-mission drones might be an exception to this. If sufficiently lightweighted and dedicated largely to surveillance, these could benefit by solar + battery electric power. Personnel risks would be low, and aircraft flight dynamics improve as scale is decreased (square-cube law of lift (square) vs. mass (cube) relation. This is the inverse of aerostats, which are more efficient at providing lift with size.
Certainly. But that’s not the argument the article is making.
Vaccinated people fearing unvaccinated people makes zero sense.

If the vaccines were 100% effective, then there is no reason for the fear.

If they were 0% effective then there is no reason for the fear.

There is no sane way to interpolate between those two values other than in a straight line.

The amount unvaccinated people transmit the disease more than vaccinated people is EXACTLY the incremental amount that the vaccine increases protection.

In perfect circumstances, yeah of course WiFi is stable. If you live in a dense urban area with tons of WiFi noise latency tends to jitter quite a bit. This isn't a problem with Ethernet.
The energy balance is significant negative. The point is to take cheap renewables and renewable hydrogen to make the fuel so I can be carbon neutral. But basic thermodynamics says it will always be energy negative.

You could try to do it yourself with firewall rules, reverse proxies, things like that, but to fight large scale ddos you really need to be moving the traffic around using BGP, and you'd want to dump the traffic somewhere, so you'd need bandwidth to dump the traffic into, that's why companies like cloudflare exist, they're able to work with bgp and they have a lot of bandwidth to absorb the traffic on behalf of the customer.

TL;DR: Framework is switching its audio codec from Realtek ALC295 to Tempo 92HD95B.

While I don’t own a Framework I welcome this change and find it quite interesting, partly because it seems like every laptop and PC maker these days are putting an ALC chip on their boards. You also don’t see computer companies announcing “we’re ditching chip X for chip Y” often and this is very informative transparency.

It feels like Realtek puts a lot of red tape around its chips. Most notably, it’s very hard to look up a datasheet for an ALC chip unless it’s a very popular part. Realtek also seem to only provide stock and support to their biggest customers like Dell and Gigabyte, because it sounds like Framework struggled to secure stock, probably from a one-off source, for their first batches and couldn’t get in touch with Realtek to implement the Smart DSP feature.

The Tempo chip on their other hand is much more open. The datasheet is right on the product page, and the chip has first-class Linux support. In the integrated sound card market where Realtek is to codec as Clorox is to bleach, I welcome attempts to diversify the market share.
Aren’t most initializations done with the CPUs in real-time mode? In that case, they are probably only able to run in MHz and not ghz
This story is peppered with just enough factoids to make its conclusion sound like fact.

I think it's a parody etymology, as 'log' in this sense comes from the word 'logos,' which means 'word,' and is not at all related to the knot story. Consider words like 'epilog' or 'astrology.'
> The 'root cause' was I fucked up and missed something.

It's really hard to do RCA when people are blaming themselves. It had to suck to be in that meeting. A really good RCA isn't about finding a single actionable thing, it's about finding our what the root cause of the problem is... which in this case, might have been whatever originally broke production and caused an emergency fix that failed three times.
Not sure if I got that right, but we aiming to move to a bare metal Linux distribution, not WSL. However, I'm aware how even small updates can brake Linux boots, specially when dealing with NVidia drivers.
