> I think a big factor here is the sentiment of people who live near small airports.

(disclaimer: am a pilot, so biased) They don't really build small airports anymore, so the vast, vast majority of people who live near small airports chose to move there knowing in advance that the airport was there. Then they complain about the noise and pollution. There's a doctrine in Real Estate law called "Coming to the Nuisance" [1] which exists as a defense to these complaints. People who moved there knew what they were getting themselves into and assumed the risk of harm.

I don't like that our airplanes spew lead into the environment, and am really really happy that an actual viable unleaded solution is finally on the horizon, but I also disagree with moving in next to an airport and then immediately complaining about it.

I hope for their sake that somebody manages to subcategorize some types of "youtuber" as people-oriented and others as things-oriented.
I like OpenBSD, but I wish all these OpenBSD articles stopped repeating the fake news that it invented W^X. Some of us were alive back then, and know that's not true.

It invented the name W^X (a name that's technically incorrect because it's possible to have read-only pages that are not executable). But grsecurity patches had had it on Linux for, I believe, years. I'd been running it for a long time in any case.

OpenBSD copied W^X, and copied it poorly. E.g. in the first version they said "this cannot be done on 32bit x86". That's funny, because grsec/pax patches did exactly that. OpenBSD eventually realized this, and copied that too.

It was first in a mainstream OS to do it, yes. But that's not "inventing it".

That said, OpenBSD is a nice system. It would not allow the wave of extreme instability that Linux has gotten lately in the form of systemd. OpenBSD folks would not accept init and other core services crashing regularly.

I just need a bit more hardware support, and I'll switch. I'm fixing some of the blockers preventing me from switching as we speak.

Biggest thing I'll miss from Linux is Wayland. I hope that comes to OpenBSD soon.

That’s more than a fair point… I think at a basic level most can sense this trading is without merits. NFTs simply do not have value.
I am, relatively speaking, wealthy. And, yes, I do think my taxes should be higher so other Americans can have access to basic resources like food, shelter, healthcare, and education. I’m sorry this idea angers you. Nothing else in your comment makes enough sense to respond to.
I assume based on this article that running unleaded would have violated FAA regulations.
>It's interesting to compare this with the deprecation in English of the term actress. Well, in Spanish the non-sexist attitude is to preserve the feminine forms (actriz for actress) and to come up with new explicit ones, exactly the opposite that is. So nope, there isn't a universal sociolinguistics that you can extract from the use of contemporary English and I don't understand how come anybody might expect such a thing.

Exactly. Now that I think about it more, it's not so black-and-white in Russian. As I said above, the female form of "doctor" doesn't sound acceptable/neutral, but the female form of "football player" sounds completely neutral. So go figure.
At least in Quebec, objection to the use of the masculine form of the plural at some universities led to renaming organizations, to say for example students (female) and students (male). For an example see

I’m somewhat surprised, based on state lead disclosure laws, that this too isn’t required to be disclosed to buyers of properties within proximity to airports that provide 100LL from their FBOs. It’s worse than lead paint (typically stable if not disturbed) in that it’s in the air and on the soil.

You might expect the noise, but you’d have to be versed in general aviation to know you’re being exposed to lead from combustion pollution.
> offensive ... It's unpaid labor.

If the extra pay for the extra commute is offensively low, don't take the offer.

(That said, I'm happy remote-first is getting more common.)

Is there an authority on mattress size naming standards to whom I may offer a suggestion? Having just read Julian by Gore Vidal, I learned that a few centuries after Caesar and Augustus, the title of Caesar ranked below that of Augustus (well played, Gaius Octavius). I suggest King->Caesar->Augustus.

However if we want to get into semantics, the word King descends from the word Caesar. Perhaps replace King with Minister, and Queen with Representative?
Speaking of that, where do you get sheets for this thing? I don't see that mentioned in either article. I suppose they ought to be a bit easier to custom manufacture than the mattress itself.

I'm worried that the provided information could be incorrect. For example, that user could have messages waiting to be delivered to himself. In that case, I think signal doesn't know the senders but should still disclose the number of those messages and their size.

Signal erases that kind of information but I'm pretty sure that user must have had some messages delivered to them while signal was processing the subpoena. So pretenting they don't know anything else is just wrong IMO.
> I'm surprised there isn't more shame in admitting that one doesn't like activists.

I'm sure most hope it will be a cancellable offense in the near future. My opposing goal is to inject skepticism into people's perception of activists.

That's sweet of you to say, thanks.
I once pulled an image of the CF card in my work's coffee machine (darn thing runs Slax linux...). I found a well-appointed home directory full of the developer's web history. Yes, they copy from Stack Overflow too.
Now can they up the weight limit for electric ultralights (300 lbs so it's the same as a full tank of gas) or not include the batteries towards the limit?
The pendulum swings between right-authoritarian and centrist-authoritarian, so that's pretty unlikely.
Wouldn't this apply to any external services out there?
Agencies, software houses, etc.
I'm not defending agencies (not glorifying them either), but it's hard to expect from the business model which scales costs proportionally to people hired and not the output, to be lean.

In the end of the day, they need to keep the lights on and it's not their money anyway.

> you would prefer all of humanity be constantly surveilled in case it may catch more criminals.

Not only did I not say such a thing (I even said it was easy to argue that encryption is a net win), it’s not something I believe, especially when you put it in such extreme terms. But encryption brings a cost, one that shouldn’t be ignored.

Most people here are taking extreme arguments — assuming everything is about mass surveillance and crimes are more often than not victimless. This ignores the reality that real crimes are regularly happening that most reasonable people would wish to stop, and when you add friction to that, it means there are many cases were justice will not be served.
Eh, everything can be automated just as well on bare metal. "The cloud" tends to add complexity not remove it, or at best replace one kind of complexity with another. Bare metal tooling is less familiar and could use some advancement, but basically anything that a cloud compute provider can do can be done on bare metal.

A lot of orgs just never bothered to learn how to automate bare metal and ended up doing a lot of manual work.
My quality of life dramatically went down as well. I'm a highly extroverted SWE and I need some modicum of social interaction to be able to function at peak performance. Prior to the pandemic, I had a social life that I was very much grateful for.

I'm also a minority and don't come from Ivy League/Top 10, so I felt that my biggest advantage was the impression I could make on others in person. In a remote-first world, I lose my biggest advantage.

Me aside, I can't help but think there are some underlying drawbacks to a remote-first world that we aren't talking about enough. But I know that, at least within the tech industry, I'm in the minority by believing that a life that is easier and more comfortable is automatically the better design.
That raises the question: fight to control the meaning of a concept or hand over the concept to the other? Do we really want FB to have it?

Browser fingerprinting has hash collisions so you basically get a bloom filter. Browser fingerprint plus ip is probably enough to track, but I'd imagine if you bring the device to another city or even a coffeeshop that there's too many similar devices to uniquely identify.
Doesn't work for me on firefox or chromium, the fingerprint is different every time.
I'd image hackers are curious people, some of whom are interested in other tech like aviation, cars, etc.
I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's just not worth learning steno if you mainly do programming. It will be complicated, require complicated chords, require you to constantly add new words and remember what you saved them as, simple chords (short cuts) like C^n turn into complicated ones. It's just not that optimized for programming.

You are very optimistic in the "public".
Your usecase is actually quite close to mine. Except that NoMachine was the fastest of them all. I didn't try to run Firefox (why? you can proxy and browse locally!), but I had to use it to run software that could only be run on premises. And, basically, anything that was not NX incurred a huge latency that made using it a maddening experience.

For me, nxproxy/nxagent is basically the equivalent of mosh compared to SSH. If you have never felt the need to use mosh, then your link is not a high latency one.

Note that to my knowledge there is no actual implementation of an RDP server for Linux; they all just send do VNC over RDP (i.e. send bitmaps).

No, you just proved why.
It would have cost the company thousands in legal fees, subjected the company to wide-ranging interrogation under oath and the case entered in public records.

It's the latter two that really gets their attention, as a customer dispute escalated into the business affairs of the top of the company where there's actual consequences.

For him, some time and possibility of dismissal.
You beat me to it. Only fresh in my mind because of the Anglo-Saxon and Latin discussions also on the front page right now (I'd grabbed a couple books off the shelf and was trying to read them, I've forgotten a lot in 15 years and didn't make it far).
I bomb exploded near the surface of the earth will, in effect, explode as a hemisphere, which is why there is a cube root. If you could somehow make the force spread only over the surface of the earth it would be radius squared, but that isn't what happens -- most of it goes into the air.

You could think about what would happen in space (a spherical explosion), then consider what would happen as it got closer to the earth.
To execute what amounted to a no-op on the EVM global computer, this individual deployed this [1] smart contract, and then ran it [2].

The compute cost involved, measured in so-called gas fees, were 0.496 ETH for the contract deployment, and 0.197 ETH for the execution, around $3,000 USD total.

Transaction fees are through the roof. To buy 0.025 ETH (~$110 USD) worth of SHIB tokens, the memecoin de jour, I'd have to pay an equal amount in gas fees. Yes, 100% transaction fee. Buying $20 worth is completely out of the question.

Looking at the app reviews looks like it's also a dream for the user (only 5-star ratings!). Kudos to you!

Everyone who has treated me unfairly has either been an activist or a ne'er-do-well.
No premature apology comparing me to mao/stalin/hitler? Asking out of morbid curiosity.
The statement was “ it just wont work for America. ”. It wasn’t “it may be dependent on the locality”. You have to start somewhere and not throw the towel before you got started. Especially with biking I constantly hear the argument “some people may get sweaty a few days of the year so we have to keep driving cars the rest of the year too”. I thought this country is dynamic and innovative but in many ways it’s very stuck in its way.

Same with healthcare. When new ideas come up people say it won’t solve all (of the many) problems so let’s just stick to a terrible system.
As an entirely subjective point - I went from fully sprung, to a Tempur (all foam) and both had benefits and both weren't 'right'
Currently have a 'Simba' (Just one of the UK's many internet mattress brands) which has coil+foam - https://simbasleep.com/products/mattress and think it gives the best of both worlds.

Sorry, I now realize this sounds like an advert - but I'm fascinated how 'online mattresses' have become 'a thing'
Previous online examples (say amazon with books) were just higlighting that online can provide the same item you could checkout offline, for less.

Mattresses should be an item you have to check out in person - but due to the outrageous markups, people will now happily buy sight-unseen online.

Its seems unrealistic for a couple to both have busy careers and also children and expect to have it all without compromises or another caregiver.

But you seem to be picking whatever is your least favorite defense of blockchain tech from Twitter and declaring that it's the only "purpose" of the whole category of technologies. This is just as preposterous as saying "locks are built with the declared intention of protecting private property without any government protection of property, therefore if someone breaks your lock and steals your stuff you can't just go to the police and expect them to help."
> If you know that your adversary will become invulnerable to your counter-strike in three months, the optimal game-theory solution is to strike him today.

Striking today means MAD happens and your country gets wasted. That only makes sense if the shield-building adversary is some sort of psychopath who wants to see you dead.

The 3 big nuclear powers don't seem to be that stupid. Maybe the calculus would be different with Israel vs Iran or India vs Pakistan, where the conflict has religious aspects.

Ever heard of the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the Pentagon papers?

There's a few "facts" you might want to get yourself acquainted with.
I don't doubt that, once hydrogen becomes heavily used as a fuel--exclusively for aviation, I expect--it will then also become useful, secondarily, as a storage medium for utility power. But the first condition is barely even in planning stages, if there. By the time hydrogen as bulk fuel does happen, other storage for utility power will be very mature, and hydrogen will need really compelling advantages to be able to compete in places where it is not already being stored as aviation fuel.

The cited article points out that utility-grade storage in salt caverns is still a wholly hypothetical possibility, and speculates on problems that might yet render it impractical.
>I'd say I'm on the only side that matters -- the side of facts, evidence and the rule of law.

>What say you?

I would say that same side had some points a few years ago how all that mattered were the Swedish accusations and it was absurd to think they were just sham accusations to get Assange extradited. I would say that that side's naiveness and wishful thinking is actually harmful to justice as a higher concept.
Yeah - I want that monitor but the dpi is a little too low to justify the price.
The truth is that with performance marketing the know-how stays in-house. Agencies can't compete with r&d and dedicated analytical and engineering resources big brands have. The services offered are "for the rest of us".
I’m with you on this. Claims to be compatible with apple health and google fit, so if I don’t care about their cloud offerings I should be able to just get the hardware and just use its sensors to send data to my phone.

I don't see why the small vocabulary would help learn it, if more complex concepts are built from that small vocabulary.

English only has 26 letters! It must be really easy!!

And they're fooling themselves if they think being able to express lots of concepts with only 123 words means it's easy to communicate by only learning 123 things.

No. There are still a gazillion concepts. If you want to communicate "car" to someone you still have to learn that "space for movement" means car... Or is it a bus? Ok "car" is "small-moveable-space-on-four-wheels". Hmm, bit verbose. We'll just add one more word...

You can just click the skip button and use an iOS device without any account. Whether or not people want to do this is an entirely different conversation but Apple does not require it.

You do better and stop moving the goalposts and lying.
I was wondering the same thing, it's in the original article:

> I ordered a custom-sized bamboo bed set from Advanced Bedding. Their website had a form where I could just fill in the dimensions so it seemed like it would be the only purchase that didn't involve any human interaction, but they called to confirm anyway as the numbers were "unusual."
In the end we all do and we can decide if we do it with fraud or not.
Has Apple announced that they're making iCloud end-to-end encrypted? It seems like people see the on-device scanning as a road to an "obvious" next step, but I'm not sure that Apple has announced that that's the next step. They might scan your device locally, and mine everything in the cloud for advertising purposes. They haven't said anything to the contrary, and their current terms of service allows it.

I could be missing something, but I did a quick search and all I see is news about them scrapping their once-encrypted backups at the request of the FBI.
If advertising drives sales then you will see a decline really quickly if you cut spending. You’ll likely see this decline within hours. In order to restore sales the first thing you’ll do is restore spending.

You’re not going to wait to collect a bunch of data in order to be able to roll it up into meaningful research for a blog post because those lost sales are real money that you’re losing.

The thing is, it’s in AirBNBs interest to discredit advertising because they have a huge organic advantage over their competition. If I want to rent a holiday place somewhere, I’m going to search AirBNB first. Only if it doesn’t work out will I try a broader search, and be exposed to AirBNBs competitors.

Competitors won’t want to publicise the fact that ad spending is important because it gives them an advantage over those who believe AirBNBs argument.
I didn't know much about Signal until today, and I try keep up to date.

I collected old machines about 20 years ago. It was very common to leave the data intact back then, even if it was being donated to a thrift store (where sale to an unknown party was assured) rather than being dropped at a recycle depot (where there was an assumption the machine would be destroyed).

There was no real dilemma regarding what to do with the data, it was wiped without peeking. I figured out that looking for interesting software was unethical early on, since launching some software will expose you to the prior owner's data automatically (e.g. databases) while browsing the directory structure for such software can open the perilous doors of curiosity. Not only that, but it is very rare for the data to require preservation. Most machines are intentionally disposed of. The cited case of a stolen computer is likely rare (though I suppose that depends upon one's sources and the market value of the machine).

I was recently given an old machine by someone I was barely acquainted with, data intact. He said he didn't mind if I looked, just destroy the data if I pass it on to someone else. I took the liberty to create bootable diskettes from the existing software since I haven't had a vintage computer in well over a decade. There was no question about how to handle the data though: even with permission, it had to be destroyed.
I probably really meant "What Is Steganographic" here...

I find your take really interesting because everyone who is pro-WFH tells people that they love WFH because of this long list of things that I was doing before the pandemic, and they were free to do as well. I personally find the notion that by merely having a commute, your quality of life is 10x diminished than if you didn't.

If most employers make people return to office, are people just going to drop exercising? Would it not be fair to call that ridiculous?
