If you'd raised any objection to that 2015 article that hadn't been asked and answered in the time between it and your own article, I'd spend more time with it. As it stands, there's nothing I see you saying that I couldn't answer with a link I pulled out of the search bar at the bottom of this page.

If you want me to engage with some argument of yours, you're going to have to be specific about which one it is. I'm not going to spend a bunch of time point-by-pointing it. The only reason any of us are commenting on this story is that DNSSEC spectacularly blew up for Slack, and their writeup of what went down linked my article, which yours is an attempted rebuttal to.
It's Google TV either way. The setting is for whether you want to neuter any sort of functionality involving the network or not.

That doesn't mean the TV isn't still reporting your viewing habits back to them; it's still running Android, still has a network connection.

Hilariously, they allow you to go back to "smart" Google TV with a click of a button, but going to 'basic' mode requires a full reset.

Oh, and they're petulant about you disabling "smart" functions; you lose chromecast, even though there's no technical reason for it. Probably because it's the only actually useful feature people want if they have an external streaming box.
Many years ago while travelling in Kerala I got chatting to an Indian guy on the bus. It turned out that he was from northern India and he mentioned that he too was a tourist in Kerala because he did not speak the local language.

He had to speak English to everyone and would have had the same communication challenges that I had. His skin colour was also quite a bit lighter so even though he did not stand out quite as much as me, he was still quite recognisable as an outsider.

Now this sounds quite obvious if you have ever read up about India and its languages/cultures/ethnicities, but even though I technically knew this I was still baffled that you could be such an outsider in your own country.
This is the answer I was expecting. There's clearly a non-scaling factor at work here.
I use Apple’s iWork suite (mainly Pages and Numbers). It’s closed source, obviously, but very usable for my needs. It also has collaborative editing built in without involving the browser. I’m pretty generally anti-browser as a person though. If there’s a desktop application I can use instead of the browser, I’ll use it.
I think Gmail.com has asked me about 500 times to try their app and I’ve said “I am not interested” 500 times in a row.

But they seem to have a good feeling about tomorrow.
A warranty is never voided if nobody knows what you did.

The profit margins are quite thin on consumer equipment; they can't afford to investigate into the chassis, having someone look at every chip that might have been tampered with.
That makes me wonder if people are complaining about OpenPGP or instead about GnuPG? It probably doesn't really matter, but many newer encryption solutions ridicule PGP in general. Now I wonder if they mean to ridicule GnuPG instead?
Once upon a time, I used icecat, based on the conclusion that it was basically just firefox but with all the settings pre-set to what I would have had to manually set them to. A soft fork, or repackaging, of firefox that just tunes about:config values to somewhat more conservative presets would be lovely.
> Democrats just passed the largest infrastructure spending bill in ages

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal is not progressive; the progressive goals were either in BBB and require both BBB and BID, and center-right Democrats (including the leadership, by accommodating the more visibly hostile party members) threw away BBB by pushing BID separately contrary to commitments to do them together.

> But I am starting to be really frustrated by the progressive meme that democrats haven’t accomplished anything

Democrat have accomplished a lot recently that would have been no controversial during the peak of the bipartisan center-right neoliberal consensus, but very little—and arguably negative value—from a progressive standpoint.

They’ve been significantly less negative than Republican domination would be, but even with the “significantly” qualifier, “not as bad as the people who goaded, aided, and continue to pander to the mob who stormed the Capitol chanting for the head of the VP from their own party for not being sufficiently supportive of arbitrary authoritarianism” is a pretty low bar.

I mean I am a progressive Democrat whose first election was the first one Bill Clinton one, so I have the perspective of having seen quite a significant erosion of the power of the center-right power bloc in the Democratic Party in my period as an active participant in the process, so I am not going to argue against electoral engagement by progressives. But I am also tired as fuck of the center-right corporate conservatives in the Party trying to sell every success in advancing their agenda won by pulling the rug out from under progressives as somehow a win for progressives.
A fire releases the "heat, light and various reaction products" that it does because of the speed of oxidation. It's obvious even from the snippet I posted that slow oxidation is not actually a fire.
Really though, what else is there? Besides what is left of WinAmp.. Foobar is too basic for me (not good for managing larger libraries). iTunes used to work well for me, but I don't use Apple.

The assembly you’ve listed there assumes it runs in real mode and ring 0. You’d need to use virtualization of some kind to execute that.
I very much agree: observability is a property of a system, like transparency is for glass. Monitoring is what you need to do with a lot of systems to make them observable.

none of that is progressive. progressive policies would increase fairness, first and foremost, rather than simply spending lavishly to buttress a top-heavy, growth-at-all-costs economy. all of those Democratic bills worsen fairness, often intentionally and deceptively. you've been entirely captured by mediopolitical propaganda if you believe that's what progressiveness looks like.

real progressivism would dismantle policies that serve to concentrate money and power (like our highly regressive tax policy), because progress depends on dynamism rather than ossification, and none of these blls even pretend to do that.
And what, the good options are there? Not in my locales
>I don't think it has to be this way.

There are significant / very vocal people demand open source to be about the community. And Community Driven. And dumping code out isn't very "open source" by their standards.

I think the trouble with a general purpose constraint solver is the results sometimes aren't what you expect or want. The best example of this is the Apple constraint system for screens used in XCode, so much time can be spent debugging constraints.

That seems excessively long? For me it only takes around 2.5 hours on a 8c/16t processor. This is with optimizations enabled, with plenty of free ram and building on SSD.

I agree with your points about DNSSEC (disclaimer: I have not had the pleasure of having to implement it myself in infra), but was attempting to communicate that DNSSEC isn’t the only area of ops that folks get exposed to these sorts of unknowns or edge cases, and that no amount of resourcing enables you to avoid these issues. For Slack, it was DNSSEC. For Roblox, Consul. Facebook/Insta, software defined BGP. Akamai, DNS.

Perhaps I did not read the room appropriately. Mea culpa.
> I find some of these negative comments to be overly hyperbolic though. It clearly works and is not some kind of scam..

It's not a scam, but I think that it is severely lacking. Not only does the model have very little explainability in its choices, but it often produces sentences that are incoherent.

The biggest obstacle to GPT-3 from what I can tell is context. If there was a more sophisticated approach to encoding context in deep networks like GPT-3 then perhaps it would be less disappointing.

NSIS has nothing to do with the lot that own Winamp & it was a clearly defined "not part of the sale" as it has been OSS from early on around it's v1.0 iirc which was a long long time before Winamp was eventually sold.

I still think they should be using their own forum with an archive of the NSIS sub-forum to ensure that there's a clear distinction between them & the lot that now own Winamp (as there's no benefit for them to be keeping that forum running other than a trickle of ad revenue) but that's down to those that lead NSIS to decide upon.

Sometimes after a DNSSEC outage, DNSSEC fans will say "see, this is exactly the kind of attack DNSSEC protects us from!" Except there was no attack, just a misconfiguration (easy to do with DNSSEC).
4 hours on a 32-core modern CPU? If this isn’t the strongest indictment of browsers getting out of control with regards to features and complexity, I don’t know what is.

I believe the tech that is not allowed in the US is something that literally dims sections of the lights that would shine line into the eyes of an oncoming driver. This is different than the auto dimming lights feature in US cars that just shuts off the high beams when an oncoming car is detected. Most of the tech is made by a company called Gentex. If you have an auto dimming rear view mirror in your car they most likely made it.

Press release about the feature I am referring to:

Which model have you got? I have a few LG TVs and there’s various options across the different firmwares that might disable that.

> Well, I suppose you can examine gun crime statistics in the rest of the world and see that the US gun death numbers per capita cause of death are higher than anywhere except failed states and war zones. Do I need to cite this obvious state of affairs? I can if this part is really in doubt.

Interestingly, some of the most violent countries are in South America. Where on earth is the largest diaspora of southern American people located outside of southern America?

> Control is largely possible where there is a political will, case in point being Australia and their rather sudden shift and it’s rather obvious results. Deaths from all guns, legal and otherwise, are down, due to concerted efforts to remove guns from circulation.

Why did the US see the same crime rate drop in the same period despite doing nothing?

Indeed. "Shall not be infringed" is clearly understood in plain English.
Am I type 1 and 2 if I like to see the artistic merit and design in science/ computers and math(s) and how it affects people?
Some are. Some are not. Last week, I was nearly in two accidents on maybe a 1 mile trip to the store from my house. Both times were people pulling out of traffic, ignoring right of way. I prevented the accidents that would have resulted from these two separate idiots. I have also been in over 20 accidents in my 25 years of driving, the vast majority of those having been rear-ended and none were my fault.

In my experience, I've not been in an accident with a teen, nor someone elderly, though I know people that have (both causing and being involved). Neither have I been in an accident with someone that I could tell was impaired by drugs or alcohol. I don't know for sure any of them involved a phone for that matter. Weather was only a factor in one accident (pouring rain, low visibility).

I have nothing to suggest that any of my accidents were caused by anything other than inattentiveness, even the one time weather played a minor role. I also see a lot of dangerous behavior every time I drive: people running lights and stop signs, completely ignoring yield signs (seriously, they must be invisible to everyone else), failing to yield right of way, failing to signal turns and lane changes (my favorite is turning the signal on after moving into the turn lane), lots of phone usage (for everything except making a call, from maps to texting to watching videos!).

Even ignoring the other quality replies to this comment, this just seems to me an insane viewpoint.

It's kinda like saying "I'm starving, but I won't eat any of the food on this table because I don't like it".

What?

I can maybe see how this is reasonable if you don't vote but also spend significant time/money investing in trying to bring about candidates who you feel do represent what you want. But, most people with this opinion seem to simply do nothing. That's a pretty childish stance to take, it seems.

As much as you might not like it, the reality is that you only have so many ways to influence things, so you should probably at least put the bare minimum effort in and vote. If you can't be assed to do that, well, I think you forfeit your right to complain about the situation.

USA is literally founded on this principle:

Congress shall make no law /.../ abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press

And while it talks about the Congress, it is clear why the founders considered it to be necessary - the principal value of the free and unabridged speech to forming a free society is tremendous.

True, in an armed conflict, speech has been used as a weapon, and it is also true that the reality of US government has often fallen short of the noble ideals laying at its foundation. But until recently, it has been a widely recognized principle that unmediated and un-gated access to speech and expression - be it audio, printed, electronic or any other means of speech - is a vital cornerstone of a modern free society. Unfortunately, recently certain part of political and cultural establishment decided they want to "move past" these antiquated ideas of equality and appoint themselves as gatekeepers of speech - "for our common benefit and the benefit of the society", of which they are but selfless servants, to be sure.

The new Twitter CEO is, unfortunately, one of these people, and has unashamedly promoted this approach personally. Thus, we can expect only redoubling of effort from his side to suppress and remove speech that he considers "harmful" and discussion of topics he considers not up for discussion. Fortunately, there's an easy way to deal with it. As David Chappelle noted recently, "twitter is not a real place" - and doesn't need to be elevated to the position of society's gatekeeper, but rather demoted to society's cesspool. They proved themselves not up to the task to maintain robust free discourse platform - let them rot in their own bubble.

I think even to describe them as "very bad people" is quite the stretch. They may be a little bit obnoxious but running a red light as a car vs running a red light as a cyclist is completely and utterly different. Firstly the implications of running a red as a bicycle are typically just that other road users tut, it's very rare that anybody gets hurt, and if they do nobody dies except maybe the cyclist. Secondly it's that the entire traffic light system makes perfect sense for cars and other motorised transport, but only makes some sense for bicycles some of the time. There are a huge number of crossings where you go "it makes perfect sense for cars to stop here, but I as a cyclist basically only have to stop here to not upset drivers". IMO to reject and protest against the utter domination of our cities and public spaces by cars necessarily involves skipping traffic light systems that only make sense for cars. But doing it safely and with respect for pedestrians and other road users.
I have never liked Twitter. I just never got it. Talk about yourself?

This or something similar I believe is the best Chrome competitor option in the near future. As others have commented it would need to be run by a group that can consistently and quickly put out new versions to correspond to new Chromium versions.

Well I believe the opposite, and from having a teacher in the family I can tell you masks are INCREDIBLY detrimental to the educational experience. We're harming our children's education immensity by clinging to them.

> , the risk is much more significant than you imply

No it is not. It's not even a large enough risks in adults for the removals of freedom to have been justified, and there's MUCH, MUCH less in kids. The risk is virtually non-existent, not a worry whatsoever.

If you're still sitting here in 2021 and pushing for the continual suspension of freedom "for the children" over a near nonexistent worry, you are part of the problem.

Their latest security incident leaves me feeling somewhat uneasy though. The only announcement for it was on twitter[1] and a footnote on one of the releases[2]. I don't believe there was ever a mention of the incident on the official forum so if you weren't following them on Twitter you'd never find out.

The general messaging around it was "a GitHub bug caused it" and its never really been followed up on publicly :\

the build back better (bbb) act is decidedly not progressive. it aims to spend lavishly, entirely funded by debt with no hope of positive return, so that that spending can be captured by the already wealthy. the only bit of that bill that could be considered progressive is the change in tax rate for the wealthy/corporations, but that's such a tiny band-aid on a huge gaping wound, that's it's not even really worth mentioning.

It basically changes the jdk to version 16 (I used one from the openjdk website, not azul) where the new low-latency ZGC garbage collector is available and increases the default heapsize. Now I have a quite large project open with 1.5GB memory used, and it is really smooth all around with no stutters.
