From the looks of it, if the price drops at best we're in it for that sweet sweet URL pointing to Google Drive/imgur.
Fair enough. I just bought a laptop with an Intel Core i7-1165G7.

The reason is I got tired of dealing with Ubuntu being unable to be installed in my AMD Ryzen 2500U.

Yes, even with the latest version using the latest kernel, and my last attempt to install it was a few days ago in 2022.

Last time I mentioned this issue about AMD in this forum I was downvoted, but I don't care, I am writing now this comment from a nice laptop, and I'm back in Linux again, so I am happy with this decision.

My point is: yes, AMD market segmentation is better, and I wish them the best. But for my particular use case: Windows is not enough, and I require the machine to work in Linux, therefore Intel is a must.
I'm in agreement with the general principle: I'm constantly low-level baffled that the default for the computer-savvy isn't Linux, given my smooth experience with it over the last 15 years and the primacy of having control over your system.

But there are always switching costs, and a billion long-tail reasons that could be keeping someone on a platform. The odds are minuscule that a) switching is a reasonable option on a timescale that would help OP and b) he's unaware of the option.
> IPv6 was poorly designed.

I'd like to point out some design decisions I love about IPv6:

- 128-bit addresses instead of 32-bit. I can't imagine having a shortage of routable IP addresses for a long, long time.

- I don't have to use NAT if I don't want because there are enough IP addresses to go around. We've grown so used to NAT that we take it for granted, not recognizing it for the ugly hack it is. On my home network, just about every machine has a routable IPv6 address.

- A consistent subnet: it's almost always gonna be a /64. When I lay out my networks, I don't have to regret specifying a /24 and then, as the office grows, wishing I could extend it to a /22. Every IPv6 subnet is big enough.

- A consistent subnet means that you don't need to use a subnet calculator as much.

- Not wasting .0 and .255 addresses (network & broadcast addresses). It's particularly bad with very small subnets (e.g. an IPv4 /30 wastes half its usable IP addresses).

- On that note, I like having my machines being able to have a .0 (::) address. My favorite IPv6 address? 2600::. You can ping it to see if your connectivity is working.

- ::1 is loopback. 127.0.0.1 is lookpback on IPv4, but 127 is a kinda weird number (okay, it's 2^7 - 1, but it's still weird).

- Without NAT I don't have to worry about network collisions when I VPN into corporate ("What? They're using 10.0.0.0/24? That's my home network's subnet! Dang!").
Interestingly, the most frequent violators of this statue are commercial in my area. Periodically an Amazon contractor will place my package in the mailbox, very rarely UPS or FedEx but by far the biggest violator is DHL. I must believe that DHL instructs their contractors or employees to place packages in the mailbox since there is a greater than 50% chance when I get a DHL package that it ends up in the mailbox.
It's one thing to apologise, but there was no talk in the article about measures they're taking to prevent this happening again. I sincerely hope they're scrambling internally to put some safeguards in place. Yes, it's bad a minor version bump changed behaviour, but now they know this can happen, it's irresponsible not to mitigate this risk, e.g. by scrubbing the card details for expired subscriptions from Stripe.
That was not the case 10+ years ago, especially at the entry level. Their entry level pay used to be lower because people did not mind accepting lower in exchange for the brand name on the resume.
Dorethy (mini camping 'payment' system)
Sure. My expectation is Coinbase will clobber them, and I'm not excited about that from a decentralization viewpoint. They will have a moat since they're also where a lot of people keep their money. Money will never have to leave the platform, which is an advantage.

There are projects in the works for decentralized exchanges. There are challenges there, but they will eventually exist. I doubt they'll ever dominate, though.
Our Visual Basic project is finally finished :)

It is a VB project for making your own RFID payment system. The story is about Dorethy who is solving her payment issue.

> Yet this is still safe as you need your unlock code to remove an account, even if the phone is already unlocked

The word “unlocked” in the context of phones usually implies the lack of a carrier lock on the device as originally manufactured and sold. It is not precisely correct to refer to phones originally locked to a carrier as unlocked when offering them for sale without disclosing any original carrier lock, as there are differences in supported frequency bands depending on the jurisdiction the phone was sold in that may make it incompatible with some carriers, whereas “factory unlocked” phones of the same model are usually world band phones and support all common carrier frequencies.

To recap: it’s fine to refer to phones which have had an unlock code applied to them as unlocked. To differentiate phones which came unlocked when originally manufactured, this second group of phones is referred to as “factory unlocked.”

Sorry to be pendantic, and this isn’t directed at OP. Most of this is inside baseball and is only important when buying or selling phones secondhand, in order to make sure the new owner is able to use their phone on a different carrier than the prior owner.

-

All of the above is separate to anti-theft locks which are supported by Android and iOS devices, which must be removed before sale in order for the new owner to associate the device with their own personal Google or Apple account, respectively.
Interesting, you got a link how they do it?

omnicron's effect on healthcare would be a lot worse without majority of people being vaccinated. everyone is anti-vaxx but it's always shocking how many of them clowns are not anti-respirator or anti-ICU.
This surprises me. I wrote a lot of Fortran doing research and found it very strong for numerics. Having first class multidimensional arrays with debuggers being able to understand slicing operators is a nice boost for productivity, because half the time is often spent figuring out why two results don’t agree. The main missing feature was generic functions and that’s where I think Julia brings some real advantages to the table. But SIMD, multicore, MPI and GPU support is afaik. still more mature on Fortran and that’s where it counts when programming cluster applications.
Have you tried the author’s LuLu app which appears to be similar to Little Snitch?

If so I’m curious if you found one significantly better than the other for outbound connection monitoring?

I used Little Snitch a long time ago and am considering setting up something like it again.

There's modern stuff being written in astro(nomy/physics) (I can attest to some of the codebases listed in https://github.com/Beliavsky/Fortran-code-on-GitHub#astrophy... being modern, at least in terms of development), but I'd say C++ likely does have the upper hand for newer codebases (unless things have changed dramatically last time I looked, algorithms that don't nicely align with nd-arrays are still painful in Fortran).

I've also heard rumours of Julia and even Rust being used (the latter because of the ability to reuse libraries in the browser e.g. for visualisation), but the writers of these codebases (and the Fortran/C/C++/Java) are unusual—Python and R (and for some holdouts, IDL) are what are most people write in (even if those languages call something else).

The thing I think that sucks that hasn’t been covered is how you have to have a wallet specific to each blockchain I want to interact with. I have to know what blockchain the web3 property uses.

Why can’t I have a like universal wallet? I don’t want my NFTs divided among 4-5 wallets, especially as new chains are created as time goes on. Kinda a sucky user experience.

That’s my nit
Well, the author at least makes an intellectual attempt, unlike you.

Both the original article and the response are reasonable, which is rare in this discussion. There's actual substance, rather than lazy binary conclusions.
Afaik, Amerika had super strong opposition to any lockdowns or measure from the start. There was no period in which it had super strong lockdowns or super excessive restrictions.

It is not backslash to any real policy, it is people who are against those having exact same opinions as they had the whole time.
The vaccines are very protective against severe disease, not "useless". Of course that is more important for people over 40 or 50 where severe disease is more common.

For younger people, they don't completely stop transmission, but it's very likely that they slow it down (preventing some infections, lessening the severity of others, etc).
Low intelligence? That's your only theory?

Mate, I've met lawyers who sent millions to Nigeria. They're not low intelligence. They're very smart people.

Who were very desperate and clung to a highly irrational hope because they really needed one. Also, they often believed that it couldn't be a scam, because they were intelligent, and only dumb people get scammed. Quod Erat Demostrandum...

Now, were they low wisdom? Definitely.

The old joke that "intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad", is still very true.

Plenty of intelligent people do very dumb things all the time. Nexium, Scientology, a guru's cult who may or may not commit biological attacks at local salad bars. All have intelligent people involved.

After all, they couldn't have cultured their salmonella if they didn't.

Because you don't want your record IDs to be perfectly sequential data.

You only care about them being sequential enough that your database engine will write them down quickly and efficiently (for engines like InnoDB or MSSQL which have such behaviour). But as a developer you typically want them to be random so that you can generate them in a decentralised manner, prevent guessing or accidental joins, safely merge records from multiple tables, etc.

Sequential UUIDs usually preserve enough randomness for the latter (as long as you don't do stuff like generating a trillion IDs exactly at midnight), while providing enough sequentiality for the former.
I don't know if they're open to that, since they didn't dual license it or use something like https://polyformproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/PolyF... , or if still realistically possible.

I hope it works out in the end anyways ...

The production cost of green energy is below that of fossil fuels already:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:20201019_Levelized_Cost_o...

Taking overcapacity for wind free periods and energy storage into account, the numbers are less favorable, but transitioning to green energy doesn't really need to affect our wealth or lifestyle all that much.

What do you think the market opportunity is?

Do you have any ideas about how to improve housing accessibility in HCoL areas, or ideas for how to improve tax bases and social services for current and future residents? I can tell from your posts in this thread that this issue is important to you, and I hope we can discuss alternatives and improvements to the status quo.

What about these issues do you think should stay the way it is?
I keep seeing this Boogeyman argument of "vulnerable populations". Vulnerable people are welcome to get vaccinated and isolate and take all the extra precautions they want for themselves; we're 2 years into the pandemic at this point and they should have figured out how to make it work by now. It's not a good argument for shutting schools because it's argument by hypothetical outlier.
Is a blockchain strictly necessary for decentralization at all? If the issue with decentralization is control and governance rather than technology, why not have a cooperative model that still functions on a centralized database?
Why wouldn’t the solution be to build an actual publicly-funded alternative?
The statement is not sufficiently defined to be true or untrue in all cases. Energy is not just energy. It has to have certain characteristics and parameters in which it can be utilized. In some instances, fossil fuels will be able to be displaced by local sources easily. In others, it will not.

It doesn't matter how energy intensive it is. If people are willing to pay a premium (they are), there will be a market.

Right now, the market is artificially big, because you don't have to pay for the negative externalities of carbon.
Oh yeah, the book also describes the craving itself as an essential part of the addiction. It’s not just that the drug or whatever is so immensely pleasing when you take it, it’s also that the whole cycle of wanting, pursuing, and getting is addictive in itself. It’s a whole “dark liturgy.” Strong craving for a well-known thing might be preferable to vague indeterminate anxiety, or it might be a way to occupy one’s mind to avoid seeing something traumatic. Chasing a target is a thrill in itself.
You don't seem to spend much time on anti-vaxx forums. I don't either but the stories my sister share with me are quite telling.

Not to mention every news channel covid-related videos on youtube is swarmed with comments from a minority of anti-vaxxer, regardless of the country of origin, regardless of the political stance of the channel.

I'd say the evidence is against you.
>your storage may then be used for illegal material

Then forget about the anonymization features of Freenet, and build something that ties to your Google Auth, Facebook ID, Government ID, whatever.

And let LEA access all of the content and seize/prosecute illegal content. Really not that different than storing your content on any of the cloud storage providers. With the exception that your data would be always guaranteed to be highly available, and not on just one or two centralized cloud storages.

>But getting people to install apps today to donate their bandwidth and disk space

I’ve got a kindergartener doing remote learning. The school system has adopted Google Suite as their platform(1). Default setup is a Chromebook. Format is pretty standard (recorded morning message and various activities throughout the day). A couple of live sessions are planned, with the class broken up into two groups to reduce the hectic video calls.

Return to school is planned in two weeks. Testing before attending school will be mandatory. I’m sure there will be hiccups as desperate parents looking to shed their children will lie about kids being positive. However, the public health department has accepted Omicron infection as inevitable and is taking measures to slow spread, rather than eliminate it.

(1) I should note that Google Suite being made available to schools is an amazing long-term strategy. It reminds me of Adobe’s policy of lax licensing security for Photoshop two decades ago, which basically assured their current market dominance now due to familiarity with their product.
This is sadly wishful thinking. The unreliability of solar and wind plus the state of modern batteries means that nuclear and coal are still better choices for large scale baseload generation.

One factor people don't consider is reliability of power. Since solar and wind are unreliable (example, German wind power saw -25% generation last year due to weather, and ended up increasing coal by as much as 40 to 50% to make up for it plus meet new demand) you end up needing to produce significantly more to have a guarantee of baseload.

For every bit of ultra-reliable, ultra-safe, tiny-footprint nuclear you build out, you need ~4X the amount of less reliable and giant foot print solar or wind.
It's clearly refering to the same thing as web 1 and web 2.0 otherwise why the 3?

Maybe they're trying to say "this is a better thing than the web"? But that doesn't make sense either because none of the applications can replace any aspect of the web as far as I can tell.

In short, everyone needs kids in schools... (Not saying this is a good thing, just thinking it through as the situation is right now, assuming no changes)

Parents who are rejoining the workforce can't take 4-6 weeks of with no notice to babysit their kids again... But they also can't afford to stop working.

Businesses can't afford to lose workers, it continues the strain on the system which raises wages and threatens the small (and medium) businesses going under...

It's a crappy situation that society isn't willing to actually address because the political theater is in the middle of a power struggle... A business-minded politician would see that vaccination (or mandatory masks and testing) is the key to business returning to normal... but the politics of this is a huge driver of power shifts that hit a larger cross section of society than most topics...

If you can't afford your kid to be home, because you need your job to pay bills... Then you don't want schools closed, and there's one political party that promises that right now.
It’s not even that the virus is not necessarily serious: all of these precautions are basically useless.

Many people are spreading covid but are completely asymptomatic, and tests are limited so they aren’t getting tested. Omicron is also extremely contagious, spreading despite masks and other sanitation protocols.

It’s too late and too contagious: if you’re not 100% isolating in your home you will get Omicron. Masking / testing / precautions like these only give false security, and maybe slow the spread a bit. But the virus is still spreading ridiculously fast. Look at Quebec - lockdown and cases are still increasing.

Idk, I don’t see the point in these guidelines. Maybe it will reduce viral load? A key point governments can do is hire more nurses and substantially increase nurse pay, that would reduce the strain on hospitals and ultimately increase capacity and treatment outcomes. But governments don’t seem to be doing this. It seems like people are doing things without really understanding the justification, or doing them just for publicity.
