"Serverless" can mean many things:

* Cloud Run is just running a Docker image. It's basically as platform agnostic as Docker is.

* Similarly, App Engine Flexible is just running a plain version of NodeJS. No specific lockin if you don't access GCP-specific services.

* With respect to Google Cloud Functions, again we're just running a simple Node service in response to some PubSub events. There would be work to migrate this, for example, to AWS Lambda, but it would be a very straightforward mapping.
Well, it's not that. Output is quantifiable and expected, try to survive doing your thing before tenure (at least and don't). Alas, the Republic of Letters is long gone. Kind of an ought-is problem.
Great. Another reference to Skynet as the inevitable outcome of advancing automation. Despite all the facts to the contrary.

Will technology, including AI, inevitability be used to improve weaponry? Yes. Will AI inevitably lead to Skynet and Terminator robots? Hardly.

Today we can't build a self-driving car with more than level 2 autonomy, nor do honest experts believe one will happen soon. Today's autonomous mobile robots are incapable of even the most rudimentary human motions, and likewise, human-level robots are invisible on any 50 year time horizon, commercially or militarily. No AI-based tech has shown even the faintest sign of the level of AGI capabilities needed to control a robot army. Nor has any AI shown the potential for an emergent executive function or a desire to KILL ALL HUMANS.

To assume that present-day AI will likely self-assemble into a rebel robot army intent on destroying humanity… Why does anybody take this crap seriously? Or soberly reference it while hoping to be taken seriously?

It's time for all adults everywhere to stop imagining that pop scifi movies are a sensible foundation toward discussing how new tech can best serve its intended purpose. Scifi is meant to entertain, not inform. Given what we know today about AI, Skynet doesn't have a hope in hell in happening — not in terms of platform mobility nor in terms of cognition nor in terms of self-assembly. So PLEASE give all references to Skynet a rest.
I never understood using tax money to screen zero-risk travelers.

It's a complete waste of time and resources for everyone involved. I guess it's a job program and a form of welfare.

Silence is meaningful, but pretty awkward when not deliberate!
Reading this from the guy who's trying to put Linux on a black-box has a certain flavor of irony, to me.
I don't fully agree with your characterization. I'm more in favor of:

Stealing the painting = hacking the wallet/private key to transfer the NFT

Taking a picture of the painting = right clicking
> If you own an NFT, you have no more rights over the media than someone who doesn’t own an NFT.

False. Just like open source software, the devil is in the details (usually the LICENSE.md file). NFT projects vary dramatically in the rights they convey to holders. To the extent that these meatspace rights are enforceable, some convey commercial use, some convey personal use, some are published as creative commons, and some are ambiguous.

The NFT space is rather immature compared to open source software, however. The ambiguity is a real problem. The space would do well to standardize on licenses and stamp that on the NFT's metadata.

But in the meantime, by convention in Web3, the apps and websites that integrate NFTs respect the ownership and provide verification of ownership for integrations, such as virtual art galleries, exclusive events or areas in Decentraland, profile pic verification on ENS, wallet gallery on OpenSea, avatars in Sandbox, etc.

By convention, web3 marketplaces also respect royalties with original artists on resales.

NFTs are tokens that can be used
and verified as arbitrary authentication tokens for anything, whether it be a real life event or product or access to some software or other virtual benefit.
It already exists - it’s called Switzerland.
Stay on the version that already works and provides the features you need? Fork it to add new features if needed? You don't need to constantly update software dependencies.

What I find most insane in the USA system is the initial price and then some "adjusted" amount that can be nearly 90% discount... Why isn't there only one single price for everyone? Why isn't it mandated that you can only charge single price for everyone and you can't give discounts?
As a side question/note, how much does a MB (or a GB) actually cost?

I mean, your ISP is giving to you for a monthly fee, an "unlimited" amount of GBs, it is the concurrent usage that is limited by the bandwidth of your connection.

How many of them do you actually use?

How many of them does your neighbour actually use?

In - say - a 12 flats building there are likely 12 different, individual connections, serving who?

At the very most 24-36 people concurrently.

Yet, on your small-medium office, a single connection (with comparable cost/bandwidth) serves 10-15 people, possibly more.

So, people in your condo is cumulatively paying some 10x the money that an office would.

In a perfect world, there would be a centralized connection, wouldn't it?
a) The implicit comparison groups are the ones related to the qualifiers: gender, and sexuality

b) It doesn't make sense to compare categories that are not mutually exclusive, so since Hindus can be gay men it wouldn't make sense to have them as a comparison against gay men.
> 3) You can always operate in the male thinking domain without attuning yourself to females.

What it this "male thinking domain" you are talking about?

Can you define it? Can you explain what is this attunement thing?

I'm genuinely curious. I've never heard about that before.
Your neighbours are "stealing" from you, even if you run with that idea. They're not having to insulate your shared walls as much as their outside facing ones.
It’s almost like women are autonomous individuals capable of making decisions about their own lives, and pursuing their own interests. Very odd.
I didn't imply they were. You're seeing insults I never made.
I tried to understand what you said but it ends up indecipherable like a koan. In this case, this koan confers a monetary benefit to the self-appointed Zen Masters of crypto. For only a few dollars the followers get a little sticker that says "Enlightened".

Secret scanning is done in partnership with third parties to detect and revoke api credentials. It is based on regexp matching and involves making a call to a webhook owned by the third party to revoke the secret.

You aren't doing it right then.

Switch to a mostly stock-based compensation. Capital gain is much better than employment income.
This is a problem easy to avoid.

Alternatively you could choose to lie in an hospital bed with a plastic tube raping you orally non-stop 24/7 for four entire months as somebody that I know, but I would humbly suggest you to take any necessary measure so this never, ever, happens to you (or to one of your beloved ones). Don't be another stupid victim.
“To further the class gap”
I personally don’t like the service but that’s quite the leap.
By this logic, your employer should have subjected you to something much worse originally, so you'd be happy to pay the vehicle wear and tear, gas, and commute time.
Now my own way to look at this, at least from a software product perspective but perhaps it's applicable everywhere: "Everything always gets easy if you wait long enough." It's almost a motto at this point, because there are so many technical challenges that prevented this or that product in the past, or more likely, made them niche utilities that required deep expertise to maintain. These utilities suddenly become building blocks that are simple and commoditized, allowing larger products to be built where before it was impossible, or at least very difficult. For anyone starting a software business: You can enter a crowded market as long as most of the difficult problems have almost been solved, and if you can establish that beach head, then acquire and sustain customers quickly enough, you can win, because everything is perpetually getting easier. The downside of course is that eventually your product will be commoditized into oblivion, but that's part of the game.

For me, both is important. When I need to move the phone in my hand to reach left upper or right lower edge, it's too big and I would not buy it.
Author here. I worked on this for a couple of weekends and hope someone finds it useful or interesting. I'm probably going to have to take it down in a couple of hours though. The process of actually downloading something using this is pretty involved which is why DRM is effective despite the technical ability to work around it.
I found that even among my "techy" friends, not many people knew about this buried feature. (Or had bad experiences with text to speech of yore) I wrote up a quick post explaining how to set up "Spoken Content" (on Apple devices) which has pretty decent text to speech.

Having to open a menu for wipers is the opposite of that.
Let's just say that this wave of NFTs (in images, videos, audio) are going to die out in favour of the discovery of 'useful' NFTs.

The future will probably begin to expand to more than just 'images, audio and video', which those specific NFTs in those categories are absolutely useless.
This line is what I think of whenever the cryptocurrency vitriol comes out here:

"""

Pets.com was mocked, but Chewy is now a $30 billion business. Webvan failed, but Instacart and UberEats are now thriving. eToys was a joke, but now look at Amazon. Some of the biggest businesses of the last 10 years are all in industries that were the starkest examples of stupidity 20 years ago.

"""
I think thread parents point is that the problems are obtuse and plentiful enough that in order to understand them you need to be involved in point 1, which is arguably the hard part.

You need to do your own discovery.
I don't know about other countries, but at least the UK has a very large website/community dedicated to household financials, bills and so on, called Money Saving Expert. It's more than likely that such services would be mentioned, if your country has a corresponding site.
Fuck. I don't have that kind of time.
I have never had a problem running linux alongside windows 10.
Its a very interesting question why (in the spectrum of community organization size) it is the nation-state scale (> 10 mln or so) that has come to become dominant. "Defeating external adversaries" is in general more of a sabre rattling game than actual warfare, so maybe that is the scale where "mutual destruction" is assured

But this precarious equilibrium is not technology independent. What works for blades and projectiles and missiles might not work for engineered viruses. If we don't find ways to quench this adversarial dynamic maybe our days are numbered...
Toyota Avalon, the car I will own as long as they manufacture them. Amen.

I someday hope that people realize what you can do with single issue tokens beyond simply having a link to cloud storage. You can create products that utilize this same behavior, but also leverage proof of ownership to create actual unique applications. With even just an ounce of developer ingenuity, you can use NFTs as an access token to whatever service you wish to provide.

I put together a collection that is both art + access to an interactive service that relies on ownership of a token. The right-click download picture is completely meaningless as the true power is simply proof of ownership of the piece, having a copy of the image means nothing if you don't own the token and you will be denied access to the service. I guess it's a completely new concept in a lot of ways and not many people have yet implemented this to scale but it's a fascinating concept to me personally.

> what gives it value is the person and context around who made it in the first place

BS. That’s the marketing excuse. The real value is only in the fact that you can potentially sell it to a greater fool who will buy for more so you won’t be the one holding the bag. It’s the new tulip mania!
What does "ownership" of an NFT even mean? Can you even repudiate ownership later if you so chose? Can you remove the record of your ownership of the NFT? Can you transfer that ownership outside of the blockchain?

NFTs seem like blockchain graffiti. You've purchased the right to tag a passing train car, that's all.

Things can go much further than just sharing a partition. But it is a shame this project died and wsl1 was abandoned.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative_Linux

>The term "cooperative" is used to describe two entities working in parallel. In effect Cooperative Linux turns the two different operating system kernels into two big coroutines. Each kernel has its own complete CPU context and address space, and each kernel decides when to give control back to its partner.

>However, while both kernels theoretically have full access to the real hardware, modern PC hardware is not designed to be controlled by two different operating systems at the same time. Therefore, the host kernel is left in control of the real hardware and the guest kernel contains special drivers that communicate with the host and provide various important devices to the guest OS. The host can be any OS kernel that exports basic primitives that allow the Cooperative Linux portable driver to run in CPL0 mode (ring 0) and allocate memory.
Knobs have already come back in some contexts.

I'm thinking of music keyboard workstations and stage keyboards. The products from Nord have swept the stage keyboard market because of their one-knob-per-function design, allowing for quick mid-song adjustments with no menu diving.
> This is a false statement. The NFT doesn’t make you the owner of ‘the work’. It makes you the owner of the NFT.

That depends on the conditions attached to the NFT. For example, the Bored Ape Yacht Club gives full commercial ownership to the owner of each ape for the particular ape they own.
The FSF have repeatedly associated software freedom (by their definition) with security and privacy. This is just one example, there are many others:

Unless you own the NFT, you can’t hang up the piece in cryptovoxels. That is ownership.
Would you like to participate in an alternative cultural norm of ownership of a bridge in Brooklyn?
For the same object we can have n NFT.
It's not obvious at all. The following isn't a proof and if I had one I'd be publishing elsewhere. However, I believe it suffices to show the lack of obviousness.

All of our models of reality are restricted to computable functions. However, we know that uncomputable functions not only exist, but that nearly all functions are in fact uncomputable. Therefore, it's well within the realm of plausibility that the actual behavior of the universe is governed by uncomputable functions, and we are forever stuck modeling those behaviors with computable approximations.

To claim that reality is entirely computable, one has to show how uncomputable functions can exist therein. I wouldn't call this proof, but it strongly suggests to me that the behavior of the system we call reality is uncomputable, and that subsystems thereof also may not be. If what we call human intelligence is one of those uncomputable subsystems, then it's true that computational AI will never achieve it. Nonetheless, we've gotten pretty far with computable approximations, so machine "intelligence" that's close enough for practical purposes doesn't strike me as impossible even if we inhabit an uncomputable reality.
I'll take knobs over membrane buttons. Can't believe the entire appliance industry switched.
Maybe deep down you know that it's wrong for humans to treat other sentient beings as products.
Of course, this is only available in certain scenarios.

A Gen Z person at the beginning of their financial lives may want to _discount_ the advice of baby-boomers as having come from experience in a structurally different economy. But they have very little mechanism to _retaliate_ against the boomers who supported state university tuition increasing faster than inflation for decades.
I agree with FaceID being less dependable. That's my biggest annoyance. It's awkward with the pandemic because you have to lift your mask up briefly in public to use your phone, or sit there typing a long password.

I had an iPhone SE before my current 13 Mini and I really miss the TouchID (even after a few months).
I personally don't worry about coupons, I worry about how sites can use data about me to dynamically adjust prices to "what I'll pay", instead of giving the same price to everybody. From my understanding sites like Amazon have even been caught doing these practices before. And we already know places like Airline companies do this.

The problem is when sites like Amazon require accounts, there is not much to do to get around being tracked and having dynamic pricing come into play. At least with airlines you can VPN and use private browsing to try and avoid this practice.
As always with every social phenomenon, it's all about the social hatred they can manage to gather among the population and throw at right-clickers.

I recall also reading something similar regarding sexual imagery specifically, but I cannot immediately locate it.

I do think your immediate leap to "misogyny" is uncharitable and unfair. There's nothing inherently implausible or sexist about the hypothesis.
Even JS stopped parsing JSON as a subset JS a long time ago. JSON lineage has been irrelevant in terms of popularity transmission ever since people stopped doing var jsonobj = eval(jsonstring);
I would wager that autistic people are less likely to have children, which means that humans are evolving away from autism (assuming a large enough hereditary factor).
It's much the same as it always was really. If you don't want to dig around in your bootloader, just make sure you install Windows before Linux.

Linux installers are usually friendly with Windows, but Windows installers are still hostile to other OSes (I think).
> Pilots aren’t allowed small f*ups when flying planes.

I don't blame you if you don't take a strangers word on this, but I would strongly encourage you to look at this YouTube channel VASAviation (https://www.youtube.com/user/victor981994) or watch the excellent movie, "Charlie Victor Romeo", which cover in extreme detail the routine, regular, and on-going mistakes that are made in aviation. Mistakes happen in aviation ALL THE TIME; they just don't cause death or crashes in every event.

I can't speak for Engineers and Doctors, but for: pilots, ground crews, flight mechanics, and ATC I have a tiny soapbox. Each of these jobs routinely on a daily basis have mistakes that are made. Sometimes the errors are minor. Other times they are major, and aren't discovered for months or years after the fact, which either led to the loss of millions of dollars worth of equipment, or worse.

Sure, CEOs and such are usually held responsible for those mistakes, but the aviation community focuses more on the ideals of, "Every rule, written in blood" mentality. Things are permitted, until they aren't. This is precisely because it caused a disaster. Things are safe(r) now because they were significantly less safe just a few years ago. The aviation community is focused on preventative actions as a result of the ongoing looming threat of failures. There is no way to avoid them entirely. There is an understanding that when you are in the air, there is NEVER certainty. You are NEVER safe. You should constantly be concerned about what can (and will) eventually go wrong. It's only a matter of how bad the failure will be.

TLDR

Aviation isn't safe because they "don't allow mistakes" but because they have a rigid and foundational system around how to deal with failure.
Some of this is a conflation of who the experts are, as well as hindsight bias on that question. If you look at say Fauci or Trevor Bedford's predictions, sure, they were pretty accurate (with some confusion in the middle of the pandemic when everything was confused). But if you take Rand Paul as your "expert" (also a medical doctor, but in a different specialty), you would've had a very different sense of what "the experts" were saying. And in the moment, you don't have the benefit of hindsight to judge the credibility of expert predictions, only their credentials.
Yup. Pushed back till Q3 2023 now. https://privacysandbox.com/timeline/

IMO it's going to get pushed back even further. Their FLoC and other tracking-but-not tech is getting pushback, and they're not going to sacrifice revenue for privacy.
It's weird reading this as someone who identifies strongly as Gen X, witnessing how we can't seem to address existential threats like global climate change until the Boomers retire. Or a thousand other problems.

I've spent the last 20+ years under a near-constant form of gaslighting where everybody told me my ideas would never work. Having to watch time and again as a different version of me wins the internet lottery.

Dunno about all of you, but I'm kinda over it.

My dad (a Boomer and self-proclaimed radical in the 1960/70s environmental spirit) reminded my just yesterday though that not all Boomers are alike, and that stereotypes hurt. I wish we had a different term for people who self-ossify, glorify ignorance, and take it upon themselves to dictate to others why they're wrong. I'm thinking of guys like Mitch McConnell and Milton Friedman, so sure in their certitude that it's inconceivable to them that their theology could actively harm the modern world. How do we resist such glacial forms of resignation?
What is the problem with that as long as it is consensual? Gay men certainly have sex with straight women and men. I know a gay man that was married to a women for 30 years and fathered 3 children.
