Satoshi rightfully feared the same outcome as those behind libertycoin. The main guy was only just released from prison for trying to create a currency, a concept that seems comically quaint in 2021.

Mozilla could be in a much better position if they focused more on that platform diversity instead of all those other types of "diversity". Alas, their multi-million dollar CEO - who is keen on using the platform for censorship purposes [1] - seems to crave the warm embrace of the diversity crowd over success in the marketplace.

I was there when the Netscape source was released and stated building the same day. I followed the burgeoning Mozilla project from the start and have used first Netscape, then Phoenix, then Firebird, then Firefox and every now and then Seamonkey ever since. I want there to be a strong competitor to Blink (the engine behind Chromium) but I think it has become clear that Mitchell is not the right person to lead this project, being more interested in politics and progressive causes than keeping the competition at bay. Mozilla needs to scale down its organisation and focus on those aspects, creating a number of interoperating projects and products which can compete with Chromium and the infrastructure - sync etc - behind it. Those projects should be platform-neutral and not reliant on central hosting, i.e. it should be possible to easily self-host a Mozilla auth/sync server. Given those conditions Mozilla could become a key component of the drive towards a more decentralised internet.

Get rid of Mitchell and her lackeys and use her copious remuneration (more than $3.000.000) to hire 10 to 20 full-time engineers, set them on this task and get that ball rolling.

You mean abandoned software. Software is never finished.
Many different unix-like systems, many different architectures, used the C programming language, which is much more widely available than the other listed by pjmlp, and, although it needed some libraries, it is so portable that you can it on modern GNU/linux distros and FreeBSD. You know what the N in GNU means, right?

Oh, and it also ran/runs on VMS.
It’s just a phrase that has two meanings and is understood with context. It’s like saying we sanctioned Jesse for his behavior.
My comment was about: In some countries your after-tax salary does not depend on your spouse. In those countries, people are taxed as individuals, not as a family unit.
Interesting, although it might require Gandalf as the secret father of Aragorn as well. Come to think of it, his father died young, which was convenient. Aragorn might just have been a changeling, another Maiar snuck in from the West.

I prefer to think that the path of the ring into the heart was via despair. Those with a strong enough sense of purpose (Sam, Aragorn), or a fundamental strength of character (Faramir), or otherworldly indifference (Bombadil) could see it as a false promise. Although Faramir might have wavered if re-exposed before being doused with lighter fluid.

Maybe Eru just decided “well, letting the dogs run” didn’t turn out too well and directed Manwe to put the multi-millennium plan into action this time. Maybe the Eagles were more, umm, interesting then we thought? 50 shades of Manwe?
If it's not politically viable to take the only routes we know of that can actually reduce our emissions as much as we need to, we've got a big damn problem.

Anyone know of a similar server case I could purchase? I really love the simple utilitarian look of the case with a single fan shroud over the CPU/RAM.
The game itself was decent.

The framework around it was a tremendous step backwards in every way.

I'd take the version of BattleNet from WC3 in a heartbeat over the current iteration - the current version is a soulless money grab.

This appears to be an idealistic proposal that is presented as if it is an accepted standard.

It talks about Expert System Architecture Diagrams (ESADs) as if they are an existing thing. I googled that term, however, and guess what? The only place "Expert System Architecture Diagrams" is found is in this blog post or references to it.

Furthermore, it quotes a "prime directive" of ESADs, "When creating expert system architecture diagrams, always strive to truly inform your viewer rather than merely make an impression," but I can't find a source for that quote anywhere, except as a paraphrase of a 2020 post on the same blog.

A lot of the idealism is accompanied by hubris. The post turns up its nose at whiteboard diagrams hastily put together by filthy casuals using their actual hands. And it implies that unless you're constructing your system diagrams in YAML, they don't qualify as expert-level.

If you're really interested in creating useful diagrams for system architecture, there is a host of material out there that is more established and authoritative. Information design is the relevant broader discipline, but there are many sub-disciplines that pertain specifically to the visual representation of the design of software systems.

> I'm not entirely clear what would be analogous to revenue for Filecoin, but they "mine" ~330K coins per day, which at current prices is about $21 million

This is actually analogous to an expense. That $21 million per day is not revenue that is flowing to the shareholders (or in this case, the Filecoin holders), but rather new shares that are being printed and distributed to the people offering storage to the network. Filecoin's annual expenses to maintain that 13 EiB are roughly $7.5 billion per year, and those expenses manifest as inflation of the total coin supply.

> Now here's where it gets crazy... based on the current average reward if Backblaze dedicated all of their storage to Filecoin mining they could (theoretically) generate about $2.5 million a day (or $900 million/year, about 13x what they bring in now).

They can't because Filecoin mining requires pairing storage with massive GPUs and servers that have 128 GB of RAM. To move all of their storage over to Filecoin mining, Backblaze would have to make a massive infrastructure investment that is otherwise completely out of the scope of what their business does (as none of their existing products leverage such hefty compute).

The article abstract calls out regulation and a public insurance option, i.e. Medicare for All, as paths forward.
That makes sense -- only give a tag an id if it needs one. It only needs one if ti's being referred to somewhere, and when that happens the user can give it a name, such as "thing" in this example.
The United Nations Could Finally Create New Rules for Space
It's a legacy codebase. The default assumption should be "DO NOT DELETE THIS".

Jokes aside, I wonder if we actually know enough to safely meddle with genetic materials, e.g. with mRNAs vaccines.
Don't they already do that, at least to some degree?

The selection of news outlets is already heavily biased toward corporate, regime, and oligarchic media.

Don't forget Fox, Donald Trump, Rupert Murdoch, Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, and Ben Shapiro.
In fact the UK has something like that because of progressive taxation.

The idea is that a tax system should be "progressive", meaning people who earn a high income should pay a higher percentage of their income in tax, and conversely people who earn very little should pay a low, zero or even negative percentage.

Now imagine you work for two employers overlapping in time. E.g. one job in the daytimes and another in the evenings.

Your employers don't know about each other, so your total earnings before tax will not be known by either employer, but you should pay a higher percentage of tax due to your higher total income. So the state has to be involved in the calculation.

Type system for primitive values that carries meaning. Meters shouldn't be added to feet, ID of one entity can't be used as ID of another etc.

I know some languages implement such features, but these aren't mainstream ones.
No special tweaks, everything out of the box using Gnome's Settings app. Initially I didn't expect that to work, because of earlier reports I kept seeing, but it did. In fact just now I set one of my external monitors to 100% while the other remained at 150% and it worked. The mouse cursor seemed a bit stuttery than usual on the 100% one, but maybe I was just imagining things.
This is nothing to do with freedom of speech; the issue is differing laws on data privacy between the EU and US (and repeated failure of Safe Harbour and other regulatory attempts to paper over the cracks).

that's exactly the case. the rewrite took years, and it is only somewhat functional, but I don't blame the dev. pre-quantum version was a finished product, and then suddenly it had to be written from scratch again. I'm surprised he had bothered to do that at all, personally I'd never contribute anything to firefox again after that fucking stunt.

Interesting! Living in Friedrichshafen (Germany) the birthplace of the Zeppelin, I'm wondering if this would be a valid option, because the Zeppelin NT that is used here in the summer uses only Helium AFAIK. The Zeppelin NT has an emergency drain that would essentially mean releasing 7.400 m³ worth of helium. I will definitely ask a family member that works at Zeppelin what he thinks of this research!
>Thomas White, now 26, took over the running of the notorious dark web site Silk Road after it was first closed in 2013.

How on earth does someone take a look at what happened to Ulbricht and think "I fancy doing that". Honestly, the lengths that they went to find Ulbricht were ridiculous and the consequences for him were essentially life-ending.

I'm actually astonished hearing about this now how short a sentence White got. Ulbricht is serving 2 life sentences without parole. White is serving 5 years - despite some extremely bad charges (child porn, drug trafficking etc)
What's wrong with download managers?

Should I only use the one provided by my Web browser? Should I not download the content that I want to access locally or share between devices without being obliged to stream/download it again from a server?
Thank you! No idea why your comment is so low. Most educational one here.

I enjoyed reading that link -- a fact oriented list, directly answering my question, rather than an assumption that I want eye candy or resampled resolutions. Fixing the input subsystem alone feels like a compelling reason to use Wayland. It's also interesting to me that the list doesn't mention DPI, which seems to be of great concern here. :>

Having read that, I'm much less terrified, though it does mean I probably will have to take the time to write a window manager for Wayland. Thanks!
That is still consistent enforcement of the Doctor Who copyrights though.

I’ve been to Mexico. Sometimes people there try to mimic your accent and poke fun at how you sunburn so easily.

Back in the US if you were to do similar to a Mexican, you’d be accused of racism for mimicking their accent or making fun of some part of their physiology they cannot change.
What good is a good network if one of the ends is literally on fire?
The way I've seen things work is like this:

devops sets up something convoluted that they for some reason like.

Developers are confused by the thing. It causes them endless problems.

Documentation is sparse, or out of date, or just plain wrong. The instructions to fix problems omit key requirements because the person who wrote them just assumed the reader knows about X and Y when the reader often has no clue. You follow the instructions and the problem is not solved, and maybe to make matters worse, you run into new problems.

The way I see it is: if developers enjoyed dealing with infrastructure, devops jobs would not exist, it would just be something that developers do as part of their job.

As a devops engineer, you should think of your fellow software engineers as your users, not as your "project members".

Your job is to make it as painless and problem-free for them as possible. If problems arise constantly, that's not the user's fault; that's your fault.
The reason I posted this link is because the announcement really irked me. I am not a fan of Facebook in any way, but it really bothers me that Microsoft is reusing the product name that Facebook announced a few days ago - Metaverse. It's as if Samsung launched a phone tomorrow called the Galaxy iPhone. What happened to trying to be unique and releasing your own products?

As someone who does a lot of work with Intellectual Property, I am amazed that this product name is not protected, and even if it's not (because of the broad applications of the concept), I am disappointed by a company like Microsoft for essentially "stealing" another company's product name and releasing it a few days later. It feel very unclassy and I lost a lot of respect from Microsoft from this announcement.

I'd like to hear everyone else's viewpoint on this. Is Microsoft breaking IP laws here, or is this just something unethical?

Activision Blizzard never had fucking magic.

Blizzard had magic. But Blizzard died a long time ago (IMO - it didn't survive the WC3 to WOW transition).

Activision just pulls the string to make the dead body move every now and then.
mRNA vaccines are barely meddling with genetic materials. We know that lots of viruses are barely harmful; mRNA vaccines are basically just:

• take out most of the steps

• change the payload

• substitute one of the ingredients to trick the immune system.

If you said CRISPR, I'd agree – but we do know enough for mRNA vaccines.

To use a CS analogy, mRNA vaccines aren't Turing-complete, but CRISPR is. We understand both fairly well, but the implications of mRNA are much simpler than the vast, vast, vast implications of CRISPR.
Our economy was roaring not to long ago because everyone had more money and there was stuff to buy. Now I have less money and less stuff to buy. Good bye economy.

I hope so. Surviving COVID and being vaxxed reduces the number of naive hosts for the virus. While a sterilizing vaccine would be great, having the load on hospitals returning to pre-COVID levels would be quite satisfactory.
I dunno.. with rising prices etc.. how many of them will have money to buy stuff anymore?
To offer a counter perspective (American here!), I did not see it as poking fun at Italians or Italian language. I saw it poking fun at coffee stores in America, as some have a tendency to make some sort of drink and give it have a name that sounds similar to the ones in the website.
mRNA vaccines don't meddle with your DNA. They inject mRNA in to cells that _temporarily_ instruct the cell to produce a specific protein. Once the mRNA is exhausted, the cell stops producing that protein.
Which is why bulk collection is the problem — not today's figureheads.
The same exact statement is true for private ownership. The difference is that with public funding you can legislate to prevent governments to interfere with the news outlets. When they are privately owned on the other hand, you have no control over it.
I wonder if there's any studies out there that calculate if Americans (or the worldwide middle class in general) reduce their overall consumption of...anything by X%, what is the likelihood of it sending a particular industry into chaos from the reduced demand.
Punching up and punching down are idiotic concepts. Either something is wrong or it isn’t wrong.

This concept is basically a get out of jail free card people can use when they cross certain lines that is based on made up pretense that there exists a universal scale of power and weakness.

It’s a manipulative tool that some people thought up to control conversation.

..that's cheap. And he was employed - albeit running an 'illegal' website - and no-one refers to Zuckerberg et al as a university drop-out.
Agreed (with @navane). The Shure recording, as presented, is definitely louder than the other two. However, when I reduce it and play it back-to-back with the laptop mic, the Shure is pretty radically better. (I'm using a mid-range set of headphones.)

What's surprising to me is how good the laptop mic is, despite the hurdles working against it.
