Yeah I know, I it's just think it's a bit stupid because a fax has no digital signature, is unencrypted and it's easy to fake because of the low resolution. It should have less protection than modern secure alternatives.

A real signature on paper can be analysed for style, pressure, ink etc but a fax is just a really low quality scan with only 1 bit of colour depth. Anyone with MS Paint can fake it.

Good luck changing international relations while people in developing worlds wait for their respective governments to work things out.

Property is a human right, whether the state allows it or not. If I have $1, I should be allowed to transfer it to whomever I want, otherwise I don't really own it. If a state says I can't transfer it to my relative in [bad country], then I see that as unjust and I will go around the system. If some government forbids its people to hold a certain denomination of currency, that's unjust as well and I will go around that system.
What you are saying is correct in the dimension of income but not in the dimension of power.

The power of those with more wealth is steadily increasing, and the power of those without wealth is steadily decreasing. To many it seems like the game is rigged and no amount of effort is going to be able to give them a say in what direction our society heads in.
Comment regarding usability and layout from a grumpy old fart who dissed them before (in partially most impolite ways):

I'd still like a more compact layout for tabs and address-bar.

At least one can improve the visibility of active tabs vs. inactive with what nowadays counts as color theme. Both for dark and light modes.

So that point of critic is now moot.

Regarding dark mode, more and more sites work with that without fiddling, which didn't in the old 7/8.x ESRs, neither 94.x.

With 95 there were a few pleasant surprises in dark. But that may have to do with the passed time, too. Maybe the sites themselves changed something. Didn't check for that.

Anyways, apart from the still wasted pixels it's very pleasant to use.

How does Bitwarden make money when it offers a free version that can be used in the long term?
Agreed. As a Pixel/Android user who has never used Microsoft Teams this is still incredibly concerning.

A third-party app causing this issue on accident means a third-party app could cause this issue maliciously and any app not part of the base operating system should not be capable of causing an issue interfering with emergency calling.

I assume/hope their January 4th fix addresses whatever the issue is at a more fundamental level, but this seems like the sort of thing that should be addressed a lot sooner than a month out.
A lot of those are not idempotency. Whenever you check if the file exists before creating it assumes the content of the file that does exist is the same as what you're trying to put in, which is not always true. Same for the mkfs example. Presumably the volume might already have a fs on it that you want to overwrite which is not ext4

OK, commenting to save the only comment so far that voices an objection based on having actually looked at the report.

While I vehemently disagree with what you wrote, I thank you for providing basis for them, referencing the article, and giving food for thought.

Student loans aside, let's start:

>they're not talking about tax evaders having to pay their fair share, but rather justifying theft from those who produce the real value in the world.

So, what's the basis for making the distinction? Large corporations like Amazon and Apple both produce "real value", and also evade taxes, as do people who own and fun them. This is not a dichotomy.

The evaders aren't outliers.
Direct link to the comment from an "Official Google Account" on what they found: https://old.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/r4xz1f/pixel_p...

"Based on our investigation [...] We determined that the issue was being caused by unintended interaction between the Microsoft Teams app and the underlying Android operating system. [...] If you have the Microsoft Teams app downloaded, but are not signed in, uninstall and reinstall the app. While this will address the problem in the interim, a Microsoft Teams app update is still required to fully resolve the issue. [...]"

Now I'm really curious as to what that "unintended interaction" was.
It would be great if the search could exclude forks. I often search something and the result are the same code but in different repos (forks)

> These days it costs <$1000 to sequence a de novo genome (not cents).

Ok, that's still 6 orders of magnitude cheaper, isn't it? You could argue that $1000 now would not be possible without the initial investment of billions, but we'll never know. What's undeniable is that independent of the advances in biotech, the advances in computing between say, 1990 and 2010, were astounding. If the Human Genome Project had been postponed by 20 years, it could have easily been done for 1% of the pricetag, without any other breakthrough (by the way, Celera did what they did because some really cool algorithmic breakthroughs). And it's not like in 1990 people didn't know about Moore's law, and couldn't project where the computational power would be in 20 years.

The same question stands now: if you want to do Project X, and you consider the choice to do it now or do it in 20 years, is it likely that you could do it for much cheaper in 20 years, and can you afford to wait 20 years? If we are talking about CO2 scrubbing from the atmosphere, then maybe we can't really wait, but if we just want to better understand Big Bang, or the Muon gee minus 2, then maybe we can.
There was a feeling when playing the PS1 like everything was being pushed to the limit, only just under control. Textures swimming and popping and little gaps appearing in the world as you explored it. Much like saturation on an audio track, that appearance of being close to the edge or even a little beyond it added somehow to the excitement. A force too powerful for the medium to contain.

One more reason to give to people when they ask me why I don't want to use Microsoft Teams. What shitshow that product is. Besides being so unreliable that it is unusable for its intended purpose it is invasive to a degree that insults me as a person that tries to have a reasonable degree of control over the software executing on my machines.
> If you aren't willing to run your own geth instance and understand Solidity/EVM, it's not really decentralized for you.

This is how I feel about the exchanges generally, which wield an incredible amount of influence in the crypto markets, for better or worse. It's a complete tangent, but reading about Tether's shifting story around its capital reserves terrifies me.

I have yet to see a blockchain implementation that's easy enough to use on its own that it could achieve widespread adoption without a strong market desire to have someone else manage the complexity of it for you. People talk about decentralization all day long while completely ignoring the fact that we've just shifted the centralized authority from one entity to another.

I worked on the MGS port to PC (from PS1), and I did little restoration trick to remove the "jittering" - I would save into a huge table of float `float gte_results[65536]` - any calculation from the GTE (our emulation) there. For example if after some translation the x was 123.43 - I know that it'll use only 123, but I would save gte_results[123] = 123.43 - and later when the triangle is drawn (with integer coordiantes, I'll lookup back as gte_results[123]). So ... it worked kind of :) - https://youtu.be/Fpep7oOGNfU?t=1442
For a while, in 1994, I had some weird SCSI card (soundblaster with SCSI, I think) that couldn't boot Linux off a harddrive. (It probably could, I just couldn't get it to work...) So I just left a floppy with a kernel in the drive. The system was generally running 24/7, but I wanted it there in case it did reboot...
The really scary thing is that because it's in L2 orbit (past the moon) it's not designed/intended to ever be serviced. So they can't go up and unfuck it if it's fucked.
The longer term solution is not not use Microsoft Teams at all. I made this decision a while ago, previously I tried to accommodate customers that required 'Teams' for meetings but I figured it isn't worth the hassle. I lost one customer over this, good riddance, I'm sure they'll come to their senses some day.
If we step back and think about it, everything that happens changes the content of space-time; the universe does not cycle back to prior state (excluding, of course, certain concepts and time scales like going from a big bang to a big crunch).

You can replace may with will for sure.
They need to release more technical details on this to restore confidence. How can a sandboxed user installed app with limited permissions cause dialing 911 to fail? How do they know other apps won't cause the same issue?

And they mentioned an Android update, but what about the millions of Android phones that aren't getting regular updates? Does that mean there's potentially millions of phones that can't dial 911?

I like Pixel and Android, but am seriously thinking of switching to iphone because I really need a phone I can trust will dial 911 when I need it.
My guess is two programs were trying to register themselves as the phone call app, Teams won, and didn’t know how to 911.
> That fiduciary responsibility meme needs to die already.

Again, stop it. The companies you want exist, they just go insolvent before you ever notice them. If you want to change the way the companies operate, you have to change the system, you can't just expect companies to "do the right thing" in an environment that penalizes them for that.

You can't have the free market cake and eat the ideological high ground at the same time.

> Smokers are less likely to be obese

Yes, but if you have a choice between being a normal body weight and being a non-smoker, you should choose the latter. In fact, the effect is so strong that it has a distorting effect on the correlation between low body weight and health. If you don't filter smokers out of your analysis, it can look like being overweight is not bad for you, or even slightly positive. See e.g. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27423262/

> Seems like this is more about pushing morals than promoting long and worthwhile lives.

Maybe it's both?
not really sure what you mean by "unnatural systems", but nfts are just a way to represent a unique thing on a blockchain.

EIP721 defines the interface to this unique thing. It's nothing more than a set of functions that enable you to transfer it to another account and approve (and revoke) operators to manage it for you.

what makes nfts "good" or "bad" is how it is getting used. I'm implementing an order-book based dex. Every order is a unique thing, implementing ERC721 adds that extra bit of standardized functionality.
I haven't seen much indication that their business model relies on lobbying for war or pushing for gargantuan "aid" into unstable regions which may only be used for buying weapons, or buying politicians and generals so they can sell sub standard and over priced projects.

Maybe SpaceX does, maybe it will. But providing launch services to the military and undercutting the companies that definitely do those things is not a problem to me. This wasn't a military = bad rant.
Eehhhhhhhh, maybe true 2-3 years ago, but things are getting more decentralized as time goes on. There are many competitors to Infura and MetaMask coming into the space now! There are even hardware companies creating nodes that work right off the shelf (I only know if a handful of devs in the space that have one though, as they're still a bit pricey).
Your little coffee shop goes out of business if they don't attract enough business, if they have competitors that provide a better product for example. But even then, you are rewarding their good behavior directly, if you want to scale that up, you and and a bunch of your friends will need to stop buying Apple products to let them know you find their behavior to not be of your liking (and become patrons of the companies that do conform to your moral values). But scaling morality is hard without some sort of restricted market intervention.
Damn, your guess sounds quite plausible.

Also, everything is awful.
I've used Dvorak for the past ~20 years.

Honestly, my favorite joke has been Billy West reading Trump quotes in Zapp Brannigan's voice on his YouTube channel.
I think it's actually more complicated than that. The strength of the sun's gravity goes as 1/r^2. Move it to the side a bit, and the direction of the gravitational field changes slightly. This direction change goes as 1/r, by the small angle approximation. So from your description, we'd expect the size of the ripple to go as 1/r^3. But in the case of actual gravitational waves, the field strength of the ripple goes as 1/r. That's why we can detect gravitational waves from distant black holes, but we can't detect their static gravitational fields, which go as 1/r^2.

Electromagnetic waves are similar. The Lienard-Wiechert field formulas [1] have 2 terms. The first term describes the delayed field, and is proportional to 1/r^2, while the second describes waves and is proportional to 1/r.

Even though it was obviously beta, there was a lot of early churn in the language and libraries. Some substantive, some trivial. And even in later versions, they like doing October surprises with language features, despite being open in development (SwiftUI and all it’s crazy dsl support came outta nowhere)

But the Linux story was garbage through v5, with half the standard library being unimplemented, and you getting to find out only at runtime.

Also, swift on Linux was (is) still just “here’s a tarball, dump it somewhere” or build from source.

That and the fact that static binaries aren’t a thing without a lot of work, if at all, means you have to ship a 2gb runtime to do anything — which sucks for casual tools.

I love the language but it feels like a bad time anywhere but on Darwin
You'd really need to combine land tax with zoning reform to make it work properly. The idea is that since the land under a house and under a skyscraper is taxed the same, more valuable land (eg in city centers) would be built up, which means the tax per tenant could still be very low.

Also you don't need to do it federally, states could do it fine too.
Also see the Grand Paris Express railway lines, 200km of new track mostly undergound... and still way below US costs.
> Why manually look for breaking changes in your API when we can detect them manually

You can't detect all breaking changes automatically. A field can subtly shift semantics on an API level, yet that breaks a workflow for some downstream consumer somewhere.

OpenAPI and other API description languages give a clear an unambiguous description of an API that can auto-generate clients just fine. Binary JSON/gzipped JSON is frequently very space efficient too. I'm happy to grant the rest of your points, but I cannot see that much value here from an SME perspective. Using tracing and other advanced techniques require the right knowledge to use, and I don't think it's that common in smaller orgs.

C++ has loads of inefficient abstracted programming models but rust doesn't?
