> I want mail servers to use URLs (or URL-looking things, to pre-empt the sticklers in the crowd) for MIME Message-IDs, esp. for "public" messages like mailing list posts, newsletters, or any kind of email that includes any kind of "view this message on the Foocorp website" link. Or, at the very least, I want tighter integration between mail servers and web servers so I can trivially resolve a message over the Web. E.g. if your mail server allows messages signed @example.com to be sent and it's generating something like <3eac99e6-943e-6cea-a336-1797d8dc0578@example.com> for the Message-ID, then I want to be be able to put https://example.com/3eac99e6-943e-6cea-a336-1797d8dc0578 into my browser's address bar. It's okay if you initially return a 401/403 and require me to authenticate out-of-band if the content is not sufficiently public, but this should still be possible. (You don't actually have to make the content live at https://example.com/3eac99e6-943e-6cea-a336-1797d8dc0578 for the canonical URL; return a 3xx and point to the right place.)

Yes, there is difference between two (as you say) and there is integrity (modification detection). In the case of comparing new assets in a pipeline to those that were created earlier, it sounds plausible both copies would be present.

> That's the entire point of using a hash for change detection.

This is called integrity protection. Change detection is the incorrect term to use here. Please see what I referenced earlier for first and second preimage.
I'm not so sure. Contract law is complex and even if the software is considered a legal contract, the law doesn't always side with pure technicality. For example if a contract indicated that John Doe must pay me $100 for services rendered and then the time to pay up arrives and Jon claims he doesn't have to pay because the contract says John must pay. But he's not John, he's actually Jon. That isn't going to fly because the intent that Jon pay is clear.
In Russian, gender confusion is mostly about professions (the rest of the gender system makes no sense, like a car is "she" but the plane is "he" -- so no one bothers with it).

For example, the word for "doctor" is, well, "doktor". But the word is masculine. There's a feminine derivation, "doctorsha" - "female doctor" -- but it sounds somewhat condenscending to me, like you doubt her competence. "Oh this doktorsha prescribed me wrong pills again".

So the neutral, respectful way to refer to a female doctor is to refer to her using the "neutral" masculine form "doktor". And it doesn't sound odd to me at all. But here's where the fun starts: adjectives need to agree in gender with their noun. And the correct grammar is "good (masc.) doctor (masc)". However, there's a recent trend to have it like "good (fem.) doctor (masc)". I.e. the grammar is completely bonkers but somehow it sounds acceptable to my ear.
But does it exclude the bar from being populated _under_ the notch? I feel like that is a greater sin.

This seems like too strong of a claim to make without any supporting evidence.
In this specific case, they chose Azure. They had a consultant in a fancy suit tell them Azure would be safer, and proposed an architecture that ended up not working at all. But they still went with Azure, and it’s difficult to point to any gains they’ve got for the 200% price increase.

I just realized something. One of the only things contained is the account creation date. How hard would it be for the FBI to pull that text you get at that time/date to activate Signal? Not Impossible I would imagine?

Edit: What raised my eyebrow is that the subpoena specifically asks for that. Why?
Heh, Enlightenment (somewhere before DR13) was also what got me interested in Linux, as a kid. But, in retrospect, I'd classify it as a "pretty UI" rather than a "great UI."
Apple doesn't do E2E, and there's no evidence they are going to. It's very likely they just legally can't.

First, the FBI (which supposedly stopped the last attempt to introduce E2E) has more concerns than CSAM.

Second, the current scanning system + E2E will have significant weaknesses* compared to server side scanning. As it is, Apple will pay the same legal costs as it would be if it had implemented E2E without scanning.

The only way to answer both concerns is to have way more invasive scanning than Apple told us it would do. IMHO, iCloud E2E is just a made up slogan to justify Apple snooping on the device. The real future is just way more scanning.

* The scanning database must receive updates after the images have been uploaded, because the hash as described inherently cannot catch most offenders right away. It's an issue of both space (the proposal is based on a perceptual hash, but the hash must be far smaller than the original, so similar images can't all get the same hash) and timing (NCMEC can't find new CSAM right away).

However, the images were likely deleted on the device, so neither side has access to allow rescanning in the E2E scenario. Unless.. The solutions here all involve more scanning than the original proposal.
True. But there are exceptions, including the presence of fire suppression which this building will most definitely have. And dormitories fall under different codes than residential building codes which is where the egress window rule comes from.
>That is, if you aren’t going to starve, the most important thing is what other people think.

IMO that hypothesis is politically biased. It implies that men/women in wealthier societies are trying harder to conform to gender norms. Blames societal norms for the difference.

The simpler and less dehumanizing alternative is that people in wealthier countries are more free to live life however they want. There are less constraints.
Helium is semi renewable. More is constantly created by underground decay of radioactive isotopes. But we're probably using it up faster.

Regardless of helium supplies, party balloons are problematic because they tend to escape and contaminate the environment with rubber and plastic. I frequently see empty mylar balloons floating in the ocean.
> offline and some library has some version issue with your proprietary licensed language

How is this different from any proprietary book about a freely-licensed language?

If you're in a remote farm in Nebraska and you only have a copyrighted Esperanto textbook, you can't share it, even though Zamenhof's materials might be public domain.

I fail to see any problem with toki pona here.

Something similar can be argued about Delphi / Object Pascal. Borland's compiler is non-free, but the language can be used with FreePascal. I'm happily using FreePascal on my personal projects and haven't touched Delphi in more than a decade; it's a nice language and there's nothing wrong with it.

Sharing FreePascal is totally OK, just like sharing freely-licensed materials about toki pona.
I mean, that's on the developer to actually build the PWA that does those things right? If you build an "app" as a PWA, there's no reason it shouldn't be approved? If you simply wrap a website these rules would apply. There's nothing here that bans PWAs as I read it.
Or enough to do about 1.6 trillion chipmunk impressions!
This applies on every single app, and is quite irrelevant as you already trust Apple by using their closed source device. If they want your data, they sure get it.

No I said and I meant "most languages with grammatical gender". Other languages have different noun class systems, but these are not generally called "grammatical gender" if they're not tied to feminine, masculine, etc.

We just survived the worst crisis of the century, which was totally foreseeable and would have been a lot less bad if we had properly prepared as the experts advised us to do for decades.

So let's definitely hold off on preparing for this other inevitable crisis that experts have been warning us about for decades.

You know what's not cost effective? Digging coal out of the ground for cents on the dollar that the crisis is actually gonna cost us in the next 50 years.
That seems to be recent thing (over the last decade or 2) with the US. The Supreme Court of India recently made these observations when the government refused to share certain information with it under the bogey of "national security":

> "... In a democratic country governed by the rule of law, indiscriminate spying on individuals cannot be allowed except with sufficient statutory safeguards, by following the procedure established by law under the Constitution ...

> We had made it clear to the learned Solicitor General on many occasions that we would not push the Respondent-Union of India to provide any information that may affect the national security concerns of the country. However, despite the repeated assurances and opportunities given, ultimately the Respondent-Union of India has placed on record what they call a "limited affidavit", which does not shed any light on their stand or provide any clarity as to the facts of the matter at hand.

> However, this does not mean that the State gets a free pass every time the spectre of "national security" is raised. National security cannot be the bugbear that the judiciary shies away from, by virtue of its mere mentioning. Although this Court should be circumspect in encroaching the domain of national security, no omnibus prohibition can be called for against judicial review.

> The Respondent-Union of India must necessarily plead and prove the facts which indicate that the information sought must be kept secret as their divulgence would affect national security concerns. They must justify the stand that they take before a Court. The mere invocation of national security by the State does not render the Court a mute spectator"

> ... We are not interested in knowing matters related to security or defence. We are only concerned to know whether Govt has used any method other than admissible under law ..."

This is only true if the companies you're asking for data refuse to provide it _without_ a subpoena. Many companies (let's us AT&T as an example) will provide law enforcement whatever data they ask for without requiring a subpoena.
Shouldn't Signal be required to produce all the encrypted data stored for this user, in case law enforcement are able to get the associated private keys off the suspect's phone?
They also aren't fired (pun intended!) due to a slight economic downturn.
Does anybody know if the notch is an obstacle for the cursor? Does the mouse pass through the notch or does it need to go around?
What is "the question" in the intransitive sense, that makes it not the object of the verb?

I've given up complaining about the common usage, except that it's a nonsense phrase that apes the technical usage; there's no "begging" involved so the only reason not to say "raise the question" is because it sounds more scholarly to use the Latin, even incorrectly.
Oh like that one system I saw once with an uptime of 10 years that was happily chugging away data (not web facing tho).

Bare metal servers with a propper fallback and a working monitoring/notification system can be incredibly reliable and for most purposes definitely enough.
The US government is too caught up in prosecuting victimless crimes, bullying defendants into taking plea deals (and forfeiting their right to a fair trial), handing out cruel sentences, and using evidence borne from illegal searches (while lying about it).

Until all of that changes I am not interested in giving them more ammo.

This raises an interesting point in general in any area where consciousness is taking more control over things that have always been subject to unconscious nature.

In this case, when natural conception results in deformity, genetic illness, or just generally unfit offspring, there's no one to blame. I suppose you can get mad at God, but we have yet to figure out how to sue them.

But when human actors start making choices that nature previously made, suddenly, we have someone concrete to blame when things go wrong, even if things go wrong much less often and less severely.

My home isn't primarily for looking at. It's mainly where I keep my things, a collection of comfortable surfaces, a place to cook and entertain, and a place for privacy. VR gives you none of those.

So you want cost the taxpayer significantly with potentially months of unneeded work and expose cops to potentially more danger to ultimately arrive at the same result? How exactly is this better?
Duly noted: get used to `command -v`

Better to follow standards anyway.
Yeah, I didn't realize what an enormous difference this made until I ran the numbers.

In your example above, let's say the person purchased those 10 Meta shares for $38 each at the IPO and they're worth $322 each now. That's $3220 in proceeds and a $2840 capital gain.

The taxes on this depend on income level and state of residence, but let's say they're in CA making $300K/year. They'll pay 20% federal capital gains tax + 3.8% net investment tax + 10.3% CA income tax, or $968 in taxes, and they're left with $2252.

On the other hand if they donate the shares to a charity (or DAF), they get a tax deduction for the appreciated amount ($3220), which can be taken against 35% federal income tax + 10.3% CA income tax = $1459.

So in the scenario where they just sell the shares, the proceeds after taking taxes into account are:

Donor $2252
Charity $0

And in the scenario where they donate the shares, they are:

Donor $1459
Charity $3220

In other words, for an effective cost to the donor of $793, the charity gets $3220.
We know from today's transactions that at least one individual had 4 billion dollars loaned out to a competing DeFi Project. That's very much putting your money where hype is.

That does get at my point though. While there obviously isn't a single "Shaq gene" or "Lebron gene", I also don't think we could reliably identify even a very large suite of genes that could be tweaked to result in increased "Shaq-ness" or "Lebron-ness". And beyond that, we certainly aren't anywhere close to identifying a "likes basketball" gene.

> When we Wait() on the errgroup, it will cancel its context even when every spawned go routine has returned nil.

I wonder why. It's documented [1] but seems strange to me. It enforces that errgroup is single-use (rather than cyclical), but I might do that by outright panicking if Go is called after Wait returns. Goroutines in the group might launch others in the group, but presumably not after they've finished, so I'd expect after Wait returns that there are no more calls to Go. Unless folks are passing the group to existing goroutines and then those launch more tasks in the group? That seems like an undesirable pattern.

What makes an occupation people-oriented vs things-oriented? Is a software developer who makes a dating app doing one or the other? What about the designer?

Is being a doctor one or the other? You need to be able to say difficult things to people, and a lot of doctors will tell you they're doing it to help people. But doing surgery is presumably technical in nature.

Is there an acknowledged way these categories are determined?
Mark my words, Meta is going to acquire Epic Games so they can own of the major content creation engines for the metaverse.

Not to mention all that sweet, sweet game developer data and owning one of the most popular social multiplayer games out there today.
Unless you have a menubar that spans across the notch, in which case the behavior changes for some reason to teleport your cursor across the notch. Mind you that this is not the same behavior for statusbar icons for whatever reason, they will reside underneath the notch (yet still accessible for) unless the aforementioned global menu expands beyond the notch, in which case it just starts hiding random statusbar icons until it fits.

The about page does a pretty good job: https://www.methanesat.org/about/

Here's my even shorter version:

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas. Methane emissions follow a heavy-tailed distribution: a few sources are responsible for a lot of emissions. Some emissions (related to the oil industry, and those related to agriculture) are due to leaks or transient conditions that can be remedied with little effort.

You can detect methane concentrations, and even active plumes, from space with imaging spectroscopy. This is a technology that has been demonstrated by space agencies, including NASA and ESA.

Some of those who pioneered these methods (which were science investigations) are trying to push out a simpler, operational version of this technology to get more methane concentration measurements, and faster.
