Sberbank CEO (he is a Russian German and has some typical traits making him noticeably different from typical Russian bureaucrat) and his posse is the leading part of the technocratic wing of the political elite in Russia. Their people also lead another important bank - VTB (international payments/etc for large corps), and Sber has strong hold on various national networks, like naturally anything money related, like municipal services and traffic ticket payments for example, as well as on generic network infra and datacenters. If Putin is gone tomorrow there is strong chance that those technocrats will take the power (i haven't noticed any significant animosity between them and FSB which would otherwise be a complication). Particularly important aspect showing their power is that there have been no corruption scandals associated with them, at least not that i can remember in the last decade at least. They tread very carefully, not making any open political claims while presenting themselves basically like apolitical tech-infrastructure/platform for the efficient government and society and doubling down on the source of their shadow power - network/infra/technocracy. Thus they can't allow themselves to suck too much technically, and thus they naturally hire decent technical people (i have some first handshakes among the upper management in technology there)
Expungement is a thing, but even more importantly in court it’s usually at a judges discretion whether or not evidence is allowed and criminal history is a type of evidence.

Sometimes evidence is not allowed because it is considered prejudicial.

The purpose of a criminal trial is to determine guilt on a specific crime rather than character. That excluded evidence is sometimes allowed at sentencing.

There was controversy in the Rittenhouse case about his prior comments and actions not being allowed into evidence.

If you need to access 3rd party services from your AWS account you can at the very least put those credentials into Secret Manager or SSM Parameter Store, so that your application retrieves them at runtime when it needs to - no need to store them with the app.
That is a second order effect at best. The loose fiat monetary policy of States also drives the price of cryptocurrencies -- far more so.

Is this also to blame for the energy usage of Proof of Work? I would say it has a bigger effect on fixed emission cryptocurrencies than stupid tokens.

I started to watch that movie but had to stop (for a moment) because it described precisely a fear I had for some time: that we would not able to work together even in case of a deadly event that would be within our lifetime.

If we had a meteor expected to hit Earth in 10 years I am sure we would not start to work on a plan to protect ourselves as THE only thing to care about.

There would always be discussions about budget, China/Russia/US/[pick your country] being the villains, etc.

Covid hit us very mildly and it was (and still is) a shitshow. A global disaster coming in x years (within our lifetime but not tomorrow either) wild be the end of humanity.

We know that climate changes will be terrible and we simply do not care at all, as a species.
One-on-one I have no idea which is bigger energy cost, but last time I tried to do a Fermi estimate, it looked like gaming collectively was similar to crypto collectively.

But I agree with you that individual gamers have the same general incentives from a need to reduce household electricity bills.
I think that it’s less that people expect it to happen. But that it rudely points out the absurdism and structural inequality involved in building free software within capitalism.

> this youtuber was trying to get some easy views

I think the word "easy" means something different to you than it does to me. Even staged, I wouldn't call what he did easy. But it certainly seems like a way to get guaranteed views!
The biggest issue I have is that the headlights of many of these cars, especially lifted trucks, are right at my eye level when I drive a sedan. So at night, I am constantly being blinded by headlights of trucks and SUVs going in the opposite direction. The solution seems to be to buy an SUV myself, but that just feels like I'm contributing to the arms race.
Do you think there are more GPUs running Ethereum than the total addressable market of gamers multiplied by hours played?

There are thousands of Ethereum nodes. It was as high as 12.5k earlier this year estimated [1]. Meanwhile, on November 29th, there were 27 million simultaneous people playing on Steam alone [2].

Even if you multiply the peak number of Ethereum nodes by every hour in the entire year, that still only hits ~100,000.

That's the entire point of hacking, circumventing protections that the server has in place to get a response you were not supposed to get. The status code is irrelevant.

The same applies in the real world too. If I perform a social engineering hack and get you to pay a fake invoice, it's still theft (or fraud), even though someone willingly and deliberately sent you money.
I think US foreign policy has created all of these problems for the EU. There would never have been an expansion in the direction of Crimea without four waves of NATO expansions in the direction of Russia, while after the collapse of the Soviet Union it was promised that NATO would never expand in the direction of Russia.

Without the invasion of Afghanistan, the Taliban crossing the border to China and the massive radicalization in Xinjiang in the early 2000s, there would have been no camps in Xinjiang. Please do not forget that the terrorist militia "East Turkestan independence movement" founded in Xinjiang was led as a terrorist organization by the EU, the USA, Russia and of course China after it was founded. Also do not forget that tens of thousands of these Uyghurs, radicalized by the Afghan Taliban, joined the Islamic State and fought in Iraq and Syria against the US - always openly with the aim of bringing jihad to China. China reacts the way China reacts, but it is wrong and naive to discuss the issue without discussing the trigger.

Thanks to the US, we now have enemies instead of friends. And I ask you - is it easier to fight our common enemy, global warming, with friends or with enemies?
The software library in question wasn’t gifted. It was made open/available for re-use from a library.

The person who chose to put it into _their_ code took ownership of its ongoing maintenance in their instance of its usage (presumably because they felt that would be less work than entirely diy).

There is no puppy here.
> What actually happens in sentencing is that you look up the relevant sentencing guidelines in the (public, easily downloaded) federal sentencing guidelines

Well, it is called 'guidelines' and your post uses words like 'suggesting'. So if relevant people went crazy and just decide to ignore these guidelines and choose, say, 20 years, would such decision be legal?
I have always followed a lot of generative artists on Twitter. Never have I see so many creatives I follow prospering at once, mostly thanks to the Tezos ecosystem.

The buyers seem happy to support the artists. The artists seem happy to receive this support. For all the cries of it being a scam/ponzi, I'm not quite sure who the victim is meant to be here - at least within this rather specific niche.

Not a standalone app, but on iOS you can highlight any word and select "Look up..." to get a definition. I use it frequently while reading the New York Times.

I think the irony would be less dramatic if the free software wasn't running on hardware constructed with slave labor. Put your eggs in whichever baskets you choose, but people's worries about the conflict of interests here is fully justified. Apple and open source are not friends, and while they'll be happy to tip their hat every once in a while (much like Microsoft's platitudes with WSL and GitHub), their ultimate goal is to stomp you out and expand control. Once again, nobody here has much interest in stopping you here; just don't be surprised when your blood, sweat and tears ultimately end up being used to grease the gears of their production line. We're talking about a trillion-dollar company that doesn't release their own device drivers or schematics; it's ridiculous that we even need to finish the job for them in the first place. It's hard to see this work as "noble" in the same way other free software projects are, at least to me.

What exactly is the "flaw" in capitalism here you are insinuating here?

There are plenty of small, cheap, reliable, and efficient cars available, if that's what you want to buy. The Toyota Prius. The Honda Fit. The Tesla Model 3?

Is it a "flaw" in capitalism that some people don't want to buy those? That someone can choose to buy a Chevrolet Suburban instead of any of these options?

The market for automobiles is as competitive as it gets. If a manufacturer is making profits, it's because they're selling what people want to buy.

From my perspective, the only "flaw" here would seem to be that capitalism makes it difficult for you to impose your own preferences on others.
I think you can make a case that the responsibility is a metaphorical chain. If you do something, eg make a phone through a complex chain, you need to make sure all the parts of your system are ethical: dangers are minimized, people have sensible working conditions, etc. If you could just stop being responsible as soon as you sign a contract with a subcontractor, it would be very easy to avoid any responsibility. Simply set up everything as another company, or get real subcontractors. Then hide behind "but I told him to treat everyone fairly, see this contract?"

In addition the subcontractor could do the same, and nobody would have to check any of the unpleasant stuff. The brand name could just hide behind people who hide behind non-brands (who really shops at Foxxconn?).

The fact is in the modern world we have these things called brands that people associate with positive or negative vibes, and we use them because we really don't have enough attention to dig deeply. The brand is an investment into making a positive vibe that hopefully is a true signal. If it's not, people are misled and they end up buying things that they didn't want (though GDP doesn't suffer, that's another story).
It accumulates over time but so does every other factor.
I don't disagree that pedestrians and cyclists need to be careful, but as someone who walks far, far more than they drive, I really regret that cars are king in modern cities. Even in Europe, where cities are often better than their American counterparts, it is very difficult to walk without constant interruptions by roads (in the sense that they cause frequent stopping and waiting for traffic lights as well as the constant noise and choking stench of cars with poor exhaust systems).

I do think cars have their place, but I don't understand how people have come to believe that cars in, say, Manhattan or the center of Paris, make a lot of sense.
> Or put barriers in place to keep pedestrians where they should be (out of the street)

This is probably closer to the rational solution than your previous statement (about "pedestrians and cyclists being mindful of where they are"). With proper road design, cars are moving slow enough near pedestrians so they can stop within time. Separated bike lanes save the lives of cyclists and lead to less traffic on the road.

North America has been designed to the benefit of cars over pedestrians essentially everywhere, to the great detriment of the local population.
> The actual robotics part is definitely deep learning though.

Why? Moving machine arms smoothly has been a thing for a long time.
Yes, instead of traffic-calming measures, we need to think about pedestrian calming.
Everyone can be called a racist if you squint hard enough.
I think we should be careful throwing around that term, because it makes people defensive and closes off a chance to help somebody grow.

If you run into an actual racist, the cure is exposure to different ideas that may change their perception and underlying beliefs. It’s far easier to do that as a friend.
Bad news, it sounds like your friend is the asshole and didn’t realize he had to behave with power boat rules when under motor power regardless of how incompetent he is operating it under power.
> Because for a long time, libraries have been advertised as building blocks that you can quickly integrate into your own application without having to understand in detail how the library works.

Libraries in general have been advertised this way, but it's not true for any given library, unless the library maintainers make that claim. In fact, it's quite common for people to release libraries with the exact opposite claim: They are not liable for anything that goes wrong, and they don't promise any support.

It is a bit offensive to have expectations from someone when the person makes it unambiguous how their SW can be used, and where their responsibility lies.

Now yes, it is true that many major, popular open source libraries do make a show of their libraries being reliable, and do provide support. And those that do tend to have more adoption. But even a number of those do say "Hey, we're putting in this effort, but are not promising bad things won't happen."

> Yes, free software devs can smugly repeat their stance of "it's a gift so don't complain, no guarantees about anything" - but if everyone took this serious, no one could use free software for anything critical, so the free software movement would be mostly dead.

This is transforming a continuum into a fairly worthless binary scenario. You're not going to have every library say "We won't provide support" just as you won't have every library say "We'll follow best security practices" - so why bring it up? It's trivial to show the latter would have likely killed the free SW movement too.

The reality is a continuum. And that is how the free software movement succeeds.

I suppose it depends on who they're addressing, but you could also imagine 'legitimate' fakes being issued by politicians and CEOs making announcements without the need to actually appear in front a crowd to disseminate them.
I suppose. It is odd that it and those onboard are almost totally unmentioned though. If the tanker crew needed rescue and another boat took care of it, seems like either the yacht chose not to help... or was both unable to help and didn't need to be helped? I'm not seeing how the latter is feasible, unless they were sinking but repaired it enough to limp back to dock later or something.

Though since they're totally unmentioned, I guess they could have even sunk too, and the people could have been onboard the rescue ship or a different unmentioned one. But that'd be weird too. Or is that kind of omission normal in an event at sea like this, showing exclusively one side's troubles? It does feel fairly formulaic / technical.
What has been your experience working with activists in NGOs/nonprofits? I've worked with several over the past few decades and emotions certainly are part of it, but trying to change a government doesn't happen overnight. For example, when Working with HIFIVE (Haiti Integrated Financing for Value Chains and Enterprises) I found that having government support was much more effective: things happened on a schedule, same when I worked with Habitat for Humanity. However, when I worked with a local homeless shelter in my city, they were struggling due both outreach and a logistics system that was sadly inefficient b/c none of them had experience with this: the heart was there but not the experience.

I'd be eager to hear what you ran into while working in a nonprofit that turned you off due to being "too emotionally driven." Please share!
Its also wrong, and measuring the wrong thing. A single ethereum tx costs a few watts of CPU time to generate and sign the transaction (less even), and a few watts to broadcast to the mempool via your internet connection. Maybe add a few watts extra to factor propagation of the transaction to the network. This is all done in <500ms, probably less. It's next to nothing.

It uses much less power than the LCD that renders the jpeg.
It is easy to make a fake emotional argument if you don't technically understand how systems work.
Nitpicking the diagnostic criteria doesn't refute my main point, which was that desires and beliefs are not the same thing as actually being.

When you get down to the biological reality of it, a male with gender dysphoria, or who claims a to have a female 'gender identity', is quite obviously not a woman.
To be fair, you probably always want whitespace diffs turned on if reviewing Python, since indentation is meaningful.
It would indeed be difficult to remember, but the proposal also suggest changing the default naming convention for foreign keys, to give them the same name as the referenced table.

If using an ORM, I would guess this proposal isn't useful, since then you wouldn't hand-write queries anyway, right? Except when you want to override the queries generated by the ORM? (I'm not an ORM user myself.)
I mean #1 has been widely debunked and in #2 they didn't test against Delta or Omicron. Maybe the results generalize but from the adult studies we've seen all show reduced neutralizing responses to Delta and Omicron as compared to the original strain.

Prior infection seems better against Delta but omicron is it's own thing as in immunity is not maintained. Interestingly omicron infection may protect against delta however.

Easy solution is to set a momentum (or kinetic energy?) limit, rather than a speed limit.
The "flaw" of capitalism is that individuals rarely pay the full cost of their decisions, leading to inefficiency.
What’s more is that the author is wrong. Free Software is libertarianism, not communism.

“Free” refers to the freedom to modify the software, the liberty of one person to (legally) do whatever they want with the thing they own. Common ownership, or community control of means of production has nothing to do with Free Software. Nobody owns free software and nobody controls it.
I should be ashamed for paying a reasonable price to purchase an NFT to support a unique artist whose work I enjoy?

Sure, the NFT current scene is extremely overvalued and filled with fraudsters and low effort cash grabs, but once that implodes, I think it's great if artists will have a means to sell digital art to a wide audience.

Tech dudes with tech salaries hating on an avenue for artists to make a living should be ashamed of themselves.
1. Lets say you own an NFT of a picture named "Foobar".

2. I go to the original artist, and buy the original picture / Foobar's copyright from them for $1 million bucks.

3. Now I sue you for illegally distributing my work.

Who wins? Frankly speaking, I'm betting on the court system / classical copyright law in winning. I hypothetically win as far as I can tell.

This isn't even a hypothetical. Copyright allows me to buy the works off of artists. The most common is MPAA / RIAA and other record companies who gain ownership of music. Or Disney Corporation owns the drawings / pictures of Mickey Mouse and not the artists who make the 3d models or pictures.

It would be unprecedented and appealable, but mostly it just wouldn't happen. Judges aren't required to adhere to the guidelines (anymore), but they overwhelmingly do --- presumably, not least because the primary input to the sentencing process is a PSR that is derived directly from the guidelines.

Note here that to reach 20 years, you have to do more than disagree with the guideline offense levels; you have to somehow disagree with the grouping rules. 20 years wasn't on the table to begin with (again: the prosecutors threatened a much lower sentence), but it couldn't seriously have been put on the table either.
Some mobile networks are IPv6 first, and only have IPv4 through NAT64 and similar mechanisms. At times, those may be capacity limited, and v4 service can get pretty iffy. (Many moons ago, I experienced an ISP with a less than second inactivity timeout on TCP connections to our servers; that was lots of fun, but seemed to be an issue on their NAT64 gateway, and wouldn't have been an issue on v6).

You're also likely to see a lot more IP sharing between users on v4 than v6.
"structurally never going to improve" seems to overstate things. Working standards in India and China will eventually improve (China is already pricing itself out of the clothing market). The era of cheap overseas labor will eventually dry up.

I think the bigger problem is that you couldn't invest in such businesses even if you wanted to. Nobody is even bothering to start them. The US still has a lot of advantages - a looser regulatory environment than Europe, less subject to the whims of politics than China/Russia, the best research institutions in the world, and essentially infinite dollars. But all this is to produce a managerial elite that decides it's cheaper to just print money and buy stuff elsewhere.
