I have a Honda that needs that map update. That map software is some of the oldest, shittiest joystick and button driven crap ever slapped on a car. I'm talking 2005-ish vintage on a 2015 car. There's clearly a tension between hardware and that new software stuff, in their mind.
Alternatively, perhaps someone who has invested in one crypto item/scheme might be a good prospect for a second crypto item/scheme.

Someone who owns a hardware wallet is probably a much better than the average person as a prospect to target for an altcoin or NFT purchase, for example.
Soda is 98% water and 46% sugar.
Precisely. My thoughts exactly.
IANAL, but the UK has kept (for now) an implementation of the GDPR, and judges may opt to take into account the GDPR their law was based upon when it was drafted. However, there's no guarantee they'll consider that with too much weight, because they're no longer bound by the EU legislation. For the UK, I'd say the current state is "probably just as illegal, until the law changes, but it's not been tested in court so you may risk it".

The GDPR covers the privacy of individuals residing in the EU. That means you don't need to track which user has which nationality, you can just make decisions based on the location of your users. If you're an American company targeting American customers then you don't need to worry about Europeans passing by on their holidays. If the request comes from the EU, don't load your personal data collection code, internal or external, if you're unsure about the legality.

That said, if you don't offer any services (free or paid) to the EU and one of your customers happens to use your service on a business trip, you don't need to worry either. This mostly applies to contracts and data procession, much less to actual websites and web services reachable from anywhere, but it's an exemption that'll save a lot of data hoarding companies that track Americans, Asians, etc. through indirect means.
The open letter makes one central point: that the SA article is a nearly pure ad hominem, i.e. that Lemore attacks E.O. Wilson himself, not any particular thing which he actually did or said. She simply does not establish anything that could be on any list (secret or otherwise) of things for which one could attack Wilson. (Just to be clear, the open letter does not make the point you impute to it – that the article makes supportable claims, but that those claims shouldn't be made against Wilson because he's a "prominent dead scientist".)

Given that, it's not as if there's any real charge of racism laid that would require a defence, and in fact the open letter does not use Wilson's environmentalism as a defence of this sort. Why then do you mention it in this connexion? Perhaps to introduce the 'motif' you mention, which despite being in quotation marks does not appear to be a direct quote.

What then, seeing as you have raised it, was the ideological content of Wilson's views on ecology and overpopulation? That population growth drives overexploitation of nature, with disastrous ecological consequences. This is opposed by those who view industry, not people, as the prime cause of overexploitation. The debate is roughly between those who would set aside and protect part of the Earth and those who see the Earth as already unnatural. Or "Half-Earth" vs. "the Anthropocene", to use each side's slogans. To be sure, some of the side opposed to Wilson have been known to attempt to racialise the views of the set-asiders. For an eloquent defence of Half-Earth against these and other ideological attacks, see "Half the earth for people (or more)? Addressing ethical questions in conservation" by Helen Kopnina. (PDF: https://scholarlypublications.universiteitleiden.nl/access/i...)

I suppose it took you five minutes or less to write your comment. That it took me half an hour to compose a sufficient reply is a fine demonstration of Brandolini's law, should any more such be needed. Just one more thing. E.O. Wilson's own words on whether population control should be imposed by anyone, on anyone:

"Should nations have a population policy? Should religions have a population policy? It seems to me that one is scurrying on the edge of fascistic ideas if one tells people how many children they can have, altering the entire nature of the society."

Glad it wasn't just me. I was trying to get a repeatable issue with a particular site resolved, and support was beyond useless, i.e. unresponsive for up to two weeks, repeating the same scripted BS they had sent me previously, etc. Despite my pleading I was never able to get to a level 2 where someone could actually look at my problem.
So I'm reading on pg 22. The red block. How hard is it for 1Pass --basically a mandated MITM-- to send a false request to Alice when Bob made a request?

That whitepaper is a piece of marketing text. Not saying their audit did not take place. But they are soooooo powerful in their own system that they basically have access to everything.

BitWarden: not so much.
Cloudflare currently uses a similar arrangement with JD Cloud to offer service in China. It'd be pretty funny if they had to use the same approach in Europe.
Work is very much a game. The reward function is your paycheck, and optimal gaming strategy involves outcompeting others for promotions and warping into new jobs to maximize that paycheck.
The main thing, i think, is that outside of DAC, most faster speeds are used over fiber.

The cabling starts to become an issue otherwise. It's also hot and power hungry over copper.

Having gotten into the home fiber side of it for various reasons, it's clear on the fiber side there is plenty of innovation/cost lowering/etc.
> The whole letter reads like a polemic attack on the editorial department of Scientific American.

As I understand it, the furore here is over SciAm having published the article - not just that the article exists or that people disagree with it. If the authors of the open letter felt the article was substantive but wrong, I imagine they'd have written the kind of letter you're suggesting.

That's a good reason not to apply this technology to smokestacks, since that would make a power plant into a power consumer.

However, in some cases it's quite difficult to stop burning C. Long-haul jets are one example. So for those, it makes sense to make carbon-neutral liquid fuels, even though there's an energy penalty. Pull CO2 from the atmosphere, use renewables or nuclear as an energy source to turn it into fuel. CO2 emissions from steel plants might be another good application.

Ideally we might be better off using clean energy sources to displace fossil plants, but that doesn't happen as fast as we'd like for all sorts of political and economic reasons. So we might as well get started now on other reductions, because it'll still help some, and we can get it scaled up by the time we've decarbonized the energy grid and want to decarbonize everything else.
I think people recommend that in case of ransomware, which is most of the time the only chance of getting the data back (helping the ransonware market thrive, and with the risk of not getting data back anyway).

It's honestly a little weird that Oracle doesn't see the value in continuing to have Solaris certified, same with Redhat and RHEL, but Apple continue to get macOS certified.

That's great to hear. I do believe in the power of compassion & self love. Especially how you define it. I just was not understanding the point of the article:

> Forget new year resolutions and stop striving to be someone you’re not. It’s time to embrace your messy, imperfect, soft-bellied self

Isn't the point of working on yourself to become someone you're not right this moment, but strive to be? (i.e. the better version of you)
Obviously if the EU actually grew some fucking balls and start to enforce the rules corporations would take steps to comply.

Never. There are too many people using too many technologies with too many deadlines and constant turnover. It will always be possible to find a service with simple vulnerabilities.
And this is one of the reasons why ECDSA is a poor standard: it's too easy to accidentally screw it up, and it results in the worst possible kind of compromise (private key).

There is a better way: make the nonce a hash of the message signature and the private key. That way you don't need any randomness, and the entire algorithm is deterministic. It is guaranteed (assuming the hash is good, but you need a good hash algorithm to sign things anyway) that no two messages will be signed with the same nonce, and that the nonce cannot be guessed without already having the private key. This is what EdDSA does.
It works fine for any degree of oxygen blend too, it just requires proportionally more Gallium. 400 times more or so for atmospheric blend. The problem is the energy required to then reduce the gallium.
> - we get more control over our little part of the internet in case of digital attack

I’d love to hear what people think about this. To me it’s notable that Russia and China have taken steps to separate their internet access from the wider, global network. While the West continues to centralise its network access in the hands of a few companies. Presumably this makes Russia and China more protected from attacks on the global network.

Am I correct in thinking in this way? Could Russia and China continue with internal internets even if the global one went down, or are they actually as at risk as anyone else? I’m guessing that China’s censorship systems and firewalls are fairly centralised and so vulnerable in their own way.
I love DNS based filtering because it is so easy to circumvent. Even nontechie friends I just tell to enable dns-over-https in FireFox. Welcome back TPB (which is DNS blocked in my country).
The law was already in place, there are no changes there. It was just a question how it should have been interpreted in this case afaik.
> As white culture has become more and more generic due to mass media and little regional variation, many people are going to try to find something unique or “exotic” about themselves to make them stand out. It’s peacocking, both inwardly and outwardly focused. You see this especially strong in social and mating contexts (read: bars).

That is not the reason some white people try very hard to find some non-white person in their family tree and are willing to go so far as to make one up if they can't find one. Some do it in an attempt to be able to claim to be 'not one of those white folks' when confronted with anti-white narratives. Others - Elisabeth Warren [1], Rachel Dolezal [2], Tracy Castro-Gill [3] and many, many more - do it to try to get a piece of the positive discrimination/positive action/affirmative action pie which is set aside for members of specific identity groups. Others do it to have a way out when confronted with the all too common claims of "white supremacy" or "white privilege" or similar racialised slurs.

That white people voluntarily take upon them claims of non-whiteness should give lie to claims of oppression of the minorities they claim to be part of unless all those who take up (often faked) minority identities happen to be masochists.

Back on topic, as a speaker of another language using Cyrillic, for me romanisation is perfectly normal/expected in this context. I don't expect English speakers to have to learn a new alphabet just to be able to read the title of a blog post which is otherwise in English.

It's easy enough to get G.657.B3/G.657.A3 cables, and you can wrap them repeatedly around a pencil and they are fine.

My assumption is based on the fact that DNS-based filtering ("of URLs leading to illegal content") simply doesn't work and is trivial to circumvent both by the client and the server, so the countries that block Libgen&co. do so at the ISP level using IP filtering.
yep and we are not going to use them because thats how censorship aparatus are getting started.

At some point you accept that the NSA is snooping through my internet history, just because im reminded what the "privacy centered" alternative means.

Let sum this up:

- dont trust the DNS of your ISP
- dont trust the ones from google or microsoft either
- same goes for other telecom companies
- quad9 has been instructed by law to change their dns servers for some entries

which finally lets me have my doubts about cloudflare and co too...

IMHO DNS can not be saved. But hey we might finally have a use case for the blockchain ;)

If someone wants to buy additional 10G card, and has ~300 USD to spare I suggest Intel E810 series. The cheapest E810 version is, I believe, E810-XXVDA2 which has 2x28Gb SFP ports (so good for the future), and uses PCIE4, which makes it work with 10Gbps bandwidths even in x1 ports (though the card is physically x8 in size, so you need an open x1 port), and sometimes you have just a lonely x1 on your MB if you use the rest for 3 gfx cards for god-knows-what purpose :)
Yes they won't have to depend on private companies to suppress inconvenient content. You will probably never learn about many things in the future.
They allow certain search engines’ search-ads to pass through for a nominal fee. Those search engines happily support Eyeo because it’s easier to have a single, friendly, and known enemy that dominates the market.

Pluribus had approximately zero impact on that.
I'm in favor of removing the race question from the census. It proliferates collectivist thinking (my people/kin vs others, based on bloodlines or appearance) over individualism. It is also used as a justification for implementing discriminatory policies, ironically in the name of fighting discrimination.
Fair points. I haven't worked with Go in a few years, and I remember hating it when I did, but I feel like I remember hating Java more. It's possible that part of the Java hate is not from the language itself, but from the ecosystem.

Can you elaborate on Java streams vs Go's containers? I assume you mean things like List and Heap in Go? I'm not sure why you'd compare those to Java's stream API rather than Java's collections. In any case, I do agree that Java's standard library has WAY better collections than Go does, and Go doesn't have the excuse of wanting a minimal standard library.

However, I'll push back a bit on the complaint that working with Go's containers/collections/whatever requires imperative code for everything. Now, I'll remind myself that one of your original points was that Go was "actively hostile toward functional programming" and I retorted to imply that Java was just as bad at all of the things you mentioned. I'll concede that Java isn't actually quite as hostile toward functional programming as Go. But, I'll move the goalposts a bit and claim that supporting some few functional programming patterns isn't inherently good and doesn't automatically make a language better.

> And endless `if err != nil return err` every time you want to call a function - which actually destroys useful stack information.

I agree and disagree. I'm one of the few people who still thinks that checked exceptions are a good idea for a language. I have my complaints about how they're implemented in Java, but I think the concept is still a good one and I honestly think that even the Java implementation of checked exceptions is mostly fine. The issue, IMO, is with training and explaining when to use checked vs. unchecked exceptions and how do design good error type hierarchies.

Go's idiomatic error handling is mostly stupid because Go doesn't have sum types. But, I'd argue that if you are wanting stack information, it means that you shouldn't be returning error values at all- you should be panicking. Error values are for expected failures, a.k.a. domain errors. You can and should attach domain-relevant information to error values when possible, but generally, there shouldn't be a need for call-stack information. A bug should be a panic.
Is your position that the adopting of a Marxist analytical framework necessarily leads to phenomena like the Cultural Revolution?
My First Thoughts on SvelteKit
The entire point of the EU is to form consensus for the betterment of Europe. Different opinions are important but create friction. Agreement, yes sometimes against ones own opinion, is necessary to strengthen the EU. Individuals in an alliance that regularly strive against agreements and consensus are hurting the alliance, hurting Europe.

If consensus is apparently not desired we can go back to the European patchwork where the rules change significantly every 100km and doing trade is 10x harder.
At this link there is the article where M.B. Petersen (and collaborator) gives a more precise notion of the question behind Myth 2 ("Does social media make people hateful?")

I haven't formed an opinion yet, but I'd be curious to hear from anybody who has one. (see among other things how they test for a "hostility gap", page 16).

There needs to be a limit, yes, but surely something like 100 characters, or even 50, would be more sensible.
If the opinions are homophobic as they are in case of Hungary, I'm very happy that the EU is "bullying". I wish it would also be the case with the ongoing corruption in Hungary.
Mainly I am using LinkedIn Learning right now, it's what my company is paying for right now. Learning platforms like that let you search by language and closed captioning sometimes, then LinkedIn let's me share that to my "activity feed" and "certifications".
When creating a new VM at Hetzner, you have to explicitly pick the US location, for the exact same GDPR reasons. Hetzner has to do this or risk loosing customers because hosting in the US and/or using US services is forbidden for some kind of infrastructures.
At some point, over tracking metrics becomes effective gamification.

The only way I've seen it promote positive behavior are when the goals are shared, and when everyone's participation actually meaningfully contributes to the goal.

Otherwise, some people just have a natural leg up by virtue of some aspect of their work that lends itself to getting more "points" in whatever system you devise, and everyone else either becomes resentful or manipulates the system in a way that the points are no longer encouraging the behavior that you would hope they are.

The exceptions here might be things that are only work adjacent. I've enjoyed gamified health challenges, fantasy sports, and actual games with coworkers. Because then it's for fun, and not something that's going to impact my paycheck or my perceived value in the organization.
Why would I think they would not?

No matter how many bad things the EU does (and I'm not blind to them), after traveling all around the world, working in the US, Asia and Africa, it's still the place where I feel the most free.

I trust them much more to not go complete bonkers than Russia, the USA or China.

In fact, the GPRD, the right for repair and the various attacks at tracking are quite to my liking.

I'm not ruling out the possibility they mess it up, but I stay optimist.
Do you have any evidence for your claims?

Anyway, the question under discussion is whether maybe we should change their experiences, so they don’t do this sort of thing anymore.

I know it’s popular to say that we only need positive reinforcement, that we can accomplish everything good just by saying “yes.”

That is false.

Seriously, we don't need this advertising. People that use advertising services just want to be as good as their competitors, so for them it is a race to the bottom of intrusive tracking and targeting whatever advertisers deliver.

The ad industry needs a strong hit on their nuts because they intrusively collect private information and normalized surveillance on the web. This is an industry this is not helpful and it does not produce anything. It can be regulated and most of it can be removed. It probably wouldn't even be noticeable for overall consumption.
Good news, except for one thing:

> 12. Lawful filtering: Filtering of URLs leading to illegal content based on legal requirements applicable in the EU or in national jurisdictions (e.g. based on court orders), in full compliance with EU rules.

Don't get me wrong, I am a supporter of the EU in general, BUT... The heavy bureaucracy is the main reason for it's slow pace with just about everything. With this in mind, point 12 might put a lot of people in a long deadlock.
