Short answer: No.

Encrypted volumes need to be unlocked, and that needs a key in RAM somewhere. The hosting provider has full access to RAM if they want to, and can extract the keys.

I’m not sure if people don’t understand this, or don’t care, but the tsunami of people using the Cloud points to it being some mix of both.
My point is the person selling the thing should not be considered the authority on how often you buy it.

That may be a legal/valid strategy, but it seems pathological. Instead of spending money on unproductive employees, these companies could just pass their excesses down to share holders. If a specific company is out competed fairly, oh well, companies don’t need to last/grow forever. The share holders will hopefully have allocated the returns more efficiently (maybe in the new competition).

I see it as an invasive vine using all its spare energy to block out the canopy and choke out the forest. Rather than a native tree that uses spare energy to bear fruits, which nourish various critters who in turn contribute to a more efficient and robust ecosystem.
> demand side of the equation (i.e. making property less attractive than it currently is relative to other investment opportunities).

I won't deny that making real estate a worse investment won't reduce prices. In the short term. Most of the mitigations I've heard will at best knock a few percent off the current price but do nothing to stop or even slow the even rising prices and poor availability. Basically it works as quick hand-out to people who able to buy today, but not fix anything for anyone else 5 years down the line.
There was nothing disparaging about the comment. There is also nothing anti-intellectual about comparing things you don't know to things you do, in order to contextualize information. And he did that by first converting to mm, so did not abandon SI measurements at all. I agree that when we are talking about more common measurements it can be gratuitous or grandstanding, much like talking about things over 1x size in percent, as e.g. 450% bigger, etc. But that is not the case here.
Looking back at this thread, it's funny that there's always debunking of myth debunking.
I think what the author is saying is that go has very good async support, but it is no less visible than it is in java, from what I can see. Certainly better syntax, but still visible.

I am working on a front end scripting language that does try to make this stuff invisible:

https://hyperscript.org/docs/#async

It's slow as all get out, but it does, for the most part, hide all the async stuff from the script writer so they can write stuff like:

fetch /someurl
put the results into #a-div
wait 2s
transition #a-div's opacity to 0
remove #a-div

And all the async stuff in there (the fetch, the wait, the transition) all happen w/o callbacks, async annotations, etc.
The article says the diamond formed at that depth, but I assume the rock rose to a higher depth before it was extracted. I believe the deepest depth to which we have drilled is on the order of 10 km.

Of course we have no way of knowing what you or your company does. You believe you make the world a better more honest place. Funny how often self righteous people believe that. I’d be willing to bet there will be plenty of people who have in my opinion more consistent views and principles on the problems with the current status quo and capitalism that would easily find your business not as amazing as you claim.

> You made the choice to work for a morally bankrupt megacorp because they paid you a crap ton of money. They paid your bills. You sold out, just own it and be a human instead of coping.

Almost all of this can be tuned up a bit and be used against you. Unless you’re an incredible rarity that is doing amazing selfless work. I highly, highly doubt it.

It is much easier to point to easy “bad guys” and delude one self of one’s own work not being such great stuff either. Beyond that. This is a general moral stance. I’m sure if one was to compare you overall life, principles, morals, and a good hearted person working for a FAANG, your life wouldn’t be the one coming out ahead.

At least most humbler people can see “selling out” is not binary. You have sold out too. We all have.

—

Just realized. It appears you or whomever owns the business and companies. It is so incredibly easy to point to how self serving and it being the definition of selling out to gain more from the effort of others without doing equal amounts of work and effort. And no I’m not a socialist.
You joke, but this would (perhaps even more absurdly, really) be called a "tenth" by most people who care about imperial units at this scale (as explained in a sibling comment)
> It is good nonfree software, just give up and accept it.

You already accepted it when you bought the CPU and it came with the base version. Your choices are to install a bugfix, or not. The FSF advocates for not installing the bugfix, or even informing users of the possibility of doing so. That is utterly illogical. There is no reason whatsoever to run broken proprietary software over fixed proprietary software.
At this point, I think that's become a cop-out on their part. If they really want to make their vision of truly open hardware a reality, they need to roll up their sleeves and make it happen.

Mostly open (due to reverse-engineering) FPGAs are a thing, SkyWater is a thing, RISC-V is a thing. Take one of the open source RISC-V designs, design and build a test system using an FPGA[1] (or more than one... depending on what is needed) so you've got something to put on a board, once the design is validated use SkyWater to produce a small run of actual chips to replace the (proprietary) FPGA(s) and produce a 100% open CPU etc. as needed.[2] Sure, performance will be dismal compared to the latest silicon from Apple/Intel/AMD but it will be infinitely better than the Unobtainium processor / system they continue to fantasize about.[3] Yes, they'll probably have to jettison things like cellular and probably WiFi support due to IP issues. (note: that's not to say a wireless solution would be impossible, just that it wouldn't be one of the widely deployed or mainstream ones[4]) I understand that this isn't a simple task but how would it be more work than whining for decades with virtually nothing to show for it (given their requirements) on the hardware front?

Build a bad open source device that you can iterate on rather than complaining about for-profit companies behaving like for-profit companies. Right now open source hardware is decades behind and sitting around waiting doesn't seem to be accomplishing much.

[1] Better yet, design a fully open source FPGA of their own. Sure, it will be a couple/few decades behind the state of the art. But it would provide a starting point to build on.

[2] Of course this would take multiple iterations. One approach would be to see if Google would sponsor this as part of their partnership with SkyWater. Worst case, the FSF might have to do some light fundraising for the iterations.

[3] Again, it would likely be a couple of decades or more behind the state of the art. This too would provide a starting point. Then they could use the finished product as a fund raising aid (i.e. sell it) to fund future iterations.

[4] Open source SDR is a thing, for example.
The touchpad issue is multiplatform from what I've gathered on the Framework forums.

Unfortunately I can't test this on windows, as I mentioned, this is a work tool for me so just torrenting a windows iso isn't an option and I don't want to pay out 190USD to test something that may or may not be dependent on the OS.

Windows also isn't an option as it's not suitable for the development that I do. So any of the problems that I encounter on linux that aren't supported ultimately become a mute point as I can't switch.

Given that Framework support Fedora and aren't a Windows only laptop, I would ask you this, what is a laptop but the hardware and software it runs? They've been working with Fedora to get things right, but they still have more work to do as per the post and my explanatory comments here.

For me it was the MIT swapfest[0], every 3rd sunday of the month april-october. I don't know what happened to it since the pandemic & also I moved out of the area, but it was amazing for getting fantastic little odds&ends and components. Since it grew out of ham radio, it generally had parts and tools you needed for fixing electronics.

In the 70s, the oil companies were allegedly buying patents for 100mpg carburetors and locking them up so nobody could use them. I asked my dad (Air Force) about that, and he laughed. He said the military could desperately use such technology, as supplying fuel to the military machines was a terrible logistical problem. The military would never, ever let lil' ole' patent law get in the way of that.
Since hardware vendors by and large ignore RYF certification and the FSF’s opinions in general, it’s hardly “yielding” for the FSF to change its policies if the existing policies are harmful to the free software community.

The people who are most vocal about FSF’s incorrect views on firmware are those who themselves are bringing free operating systems to new hardware, writing drivers, and reverse engineering hardware and firmware. They are not hostile parties—their contributions are among the most important to free software today, and their opinions should hold more weight.

I guess I should have been more precise and specified left/liberal on the relevant issues. Someone's position on guns probably doesn't matter, but their position on race does.

That said, Xu specifically just very much is a conservative. He self-identifies as conservative and positions himself in opposition to the left, he's worked for conservative groups like the YAF and The Federalist, and generally holds conservative positions (like on Abortion: https://thefederalist.com/2019/02/01/new-yorks-barbaric-abor..., as well as immigration and vaccination if you look at his twitter). Like, he's I'd argue more conservative than most of the people I listed (or at least more explicitly so).

But you asked specifically about him being racist and intolerant. And that deserves a slightly deeper dive. Part of the issue is that you're framing him based on one of his most moderate positions. Yes, Xu thinks that affirmative action is problematic. If that were his only thing I think you'd have a reasonable point, but it isn't. He's not just anti-affirmative action, he's strongly anti-CRT (https://twitter.com/kennymxu/status/1481295452804898820, which amusingly misrepresents CRT) and generally against diversity and inclusion period.

[aside: so much of his twitter content is just completely making up positions and then being outraged about them. Like I'm not saying that CRT or progressives approach to race is "right", there's enough debate within those groups that that's clearly silly. But Xu doesn't actually engage with any, he just argues with positions he makes up]

More specifically, he tweets stuff like https://twitter.com/kennymxu/status/1480674815283400708 and https://twitter.com/kennymxu/status/1484930804425838594, the first is some mild transphobia and I have a hard time coming up with a not-racist explanation for the second.

Like his worldview seems to be that "Black culture" is bad while mainstream US culture is good, and that therefore it is black cultures responsibility to better integrate. But further recognition of good things within Black culture, or even help integrating, are anti-meritocratic and therefore harm Asian people (and further, that this harm is racist, which is circular). He even essentially says as much explicitly : https://twitter.com/kennymxu/status/1483282964272365574, equivocating "diversity" with "anti-Asian racism".

At the point where you're arguing that all attempts to improve diversity and inclusion are bad, I think it's fair to say that you're intolerant. I think that when so much of that intolerance is based around race, racism is a reasonable conclusion to draw.

If it makes you happy, is it really wasting money?

Personally, I only think money is wasted when you don't get what you were trying to get when you spent the money. So if you decide to spend your money buying a delicious burrito, but it turns out to taste bad, then it was wasted money.

If you are trying to buy a book to bring you the joy you feel when buying a book, and you get that joy, then it isn't money wasted. If you buy it and then regret it after and don't feel the joy, then it was wasted.
> so building more skyscrapers isn't likely to make urban cores affordable for the types of folks who wind up homeless.

Yes it will. Think of a skyscaper like a Yuppie containment center. For every high end apartment that exists, a Yuppie is no longer filling up an apartment in the mission, that very well could be afforable if they weren't currently full of yuppies.

There are lots of yuppies who would love to live in those skyscapers, and if we build more of them, then those people will no longer be taking away afforable housing from other people who need it.

Also, historically, this is how housing has worked. Previously high end apartments, become low end, over time, as the rich move out of those places, into other, newer apartments.

> Skyscrapers are inherently expensive to build

Doesn't matter. Because the goal is to get wealthy individuals, out of the existing apartments. The poor aren't forced to live in those skyscapers, but if the skyscapers exist, then there is less competition for the lower end of the market.

DRM garbage also adds to the incentives of using blob firmware.

For example for GPUs it goes a bit like this:

You need to support HDCP? Use a blob. You want to have a separate FOSS firmware without HDCP? An extra expense that bean counters won't like.
> Imagine I have 100 Energy Points that keep me going. I might start the day with 100 points and as I go about my day, I’ll start to feel pretty drained and unproductive once I’m below 50. To make matters more challenging, if I haven’t slept well or if I’m stressed out about other things, I might not even start the workday at 100 Energy Points!

This and the paragraphs thereafter are the most succinct description of how I feel on a daily basis that I’ve ever read.

I’m really good at being fun and high energy, so many are normally very surprised to learn that I need as much alone time as I can possibly gather to recoup.

This is why me being a traveling consultant was amazing. I could pair and present all day and recharge with a dinner by myself and some progress on side projects. That went out the window after COVID and has caused problems.
I didn't get the sense that the author was being satirical. I think your critique has merit though. I remember thinking the DAO hack reversal was going to be the death knell for Ethereum, but it wasn't. I absolutely appreciate that most crypto is a house of cards that's being hot-glued as its built, but I'm here for it. I think it's awesome that we now have programmable money. I think it has the potential to profoundly impact the way humans interact.

It seems healthier than having a sense of anxiety. Living in a moneyed society requires spending money, so why attach a sense of dread to it?
Can someone ELI5 what is unique about transducers? They've always sounded interesting but I'm not willing to invest the time to learn Clojure just to understand them.

This is why I like using emulators with full debug tools. At that point it's quite obviously about research and development. Emulators that just have a game window and hacks on hacks to get your game "backups" to run aren't as fun.
This makes sense to me, and I think you explain it better than the author.

However, this is basically just the idea of opportunity costs, and pointing out that they apply to more than just the money spent, but also the time.
Is RYF certification a significant market force among users who want more open devices? I don't really follow it closely enough to know, but I checked in on the Librem 5 project periodically and this is the first I heard about RYF certification for the project, or the implication that it would be a significant driver of customer behavior. Is my outsiders impression of this niche incorrect?
I know this but every time I try to speak the words I say the wrong one.
I think you’re missing what I’m saying. I’m not talking about ML. I’m taking about mixed integer programming. Minimizing the depth of the trees is the goal, not a method of getting there. Most discussion I see on this is on greedy methods that choose the first step that will maximize information gain and then the next best and so forth. But it’s possible there exists a first step that is less optimal up front but allows for more entropy on the second steps. I’m not sure if the greedy solutions are able to guarantee a three step solution for all possible words. Even if they are, it’s probable that they’re still inferior to the globally optimized answer.
There are other dimensions of cost. Storage space consumption and the payment for rights to the space, for example. Complexity of inventory management for a second. Eventually you pay the time and attention, it not also monetary, cost of disposal.
I feel like WordPress sort of "wraps around" (quality horse-shoe, it was so bad but popular that now it's good). Core WordPress is one of the most audited codebases on the planet, it has a ton of duct tape and scar tissue.

Any new relevant bug classes, people will tend to look for it and fix it in WordPress first, because practically every bounty program has one or more instances somewhere.

People aren't doing these kinds of attacks against WordPress plugin distribution because it's uniquely vulnerable. They're doing it because WordPress is incredibly popular.

If you need the stuff WordPress can do and can't get away with a static site, IMHO it's usually still the best choice.

Main caveats being, plugin quality varies very widely (including at supply chain level), and you can quickly run into issues if you get an agency to customise and they do a bad job.

what a horrible language choice for an emulator, no wonder it under performs compared to Yuzu, ton of micro stutters, i bet it's due to the GC and the JIT compiler; on top of using more memory

Kickstarters? Pateron? Boy Scout popcorn? That water bottle that an NGO was supposed to ship you for anything over a $20 donation?

There are some uses of money which are primarily philanthropic or social messaging. In these cases, the utility of the good or service is ancillary to the purchase. As overall economic welfare continues to improve, the niche for these things increases. The split between purpose and utility varies, maybe 5/95 for that chocolate bar that says it is protecting the rainforest (doubtful) but 40/60 for Girl Scout cookies. It's hard to straddle anywhere near that 50/50 line, but again, as the niche expands, the markets will eventually figure out more products for the space.

> Office districts are ghost towns after commute hours; condo tower residents mostly stay behind their doors

Don’t blame skyscrapers for bad architecture and urban planning.

I live in a 76-story tower and people are pretty friendly and you say hello by the pool, etc. There’s more community here than in most of the blocks of 4-5-story houses I’ve lived on. You also have the staff around, so even when you are alone you can still say g’day to a few people, which is a big deal for instance in lockdowns.

And because the towers are surrounded by smaller buildings (not everyone can afford to live in the towers) there is plenty of vibrant life out on the street. Arguably more so than in the more spread-out areas, with the exception of Chinatown.

Sure, SF FiDi is an apocalypse after dark, but that’s not about skyscrapers, it’s about cynical and uncaring planners.
