So you got what you pay for.
Because local data is no longer a relevant matter for the consumer market from the perspective of the corporations. Your media is in the cloud, your communications are in the cloud and apps are re-downloadable. Of course all of this has the capability of being defective down the road or missing something, but so does local storage.

The endgame seems to be local cache, edge-retained warm storage and cloud-based bulk storage, all managed transparently.
Itwas moved away from, but in recent years it's been picked up again, with growing intensity. Just look at deepmind for example, which has been publishing with neuroscientist wet labs. Two papers come to mind - one showing the "prefrontal cortex as meta reinforcement learning", and another about distributional temporal difference learning wherein specific neurons were examined.
I think this is nuanced. I can see your point if an artist is forced sell their art through an unfavorable marketplace. However in this case that probably doesn’t apply. Joe Rogan has a big enough of a platform on his own that he can probably get by just fine without selling the rights to his show at all. The fact that he did despite that makes this slightly less nuanced.
Hugh Howley book about life inside a subterranean shelter, where the cardinal rule is "if you talk about going outside, you get your wish." You're given a piece of wool to clean the lens on the camera before you die.

I enjoyed the first three books, but the "prequels", decidedly less so. YMMV.
I’m the opposite. I paid for Spotify subscription long before Joe Rogan deal, and never listened to any of his podcasts. I learned that they’re controversial after Neil Young was pulled from Spotify. I guess the message was delivered, and I actually considered cancelling my family subscription and switching to something else. I’m happy about their decision, and will remain their customer.
I don't understand why people seem to be so befuddled by the concept that there can be legal actions which are not ethical or moral. I can legally buy a new puppy every month and give it to the pound. This is morally wrong, even despite agreeing that giving animals to the pound should be legal.

I see this same argument constantly, in nearly every discussion about a company doing anything bad. It's a meaningless point. Do you people posting things like this really not understand the distinction between right and legal? Or do you think moral considerations are beneath discussion?
I already see some on youtube from today's sessions. Just search for "Fossdem 2022" on youtube and you should see them.

Yes I understand that: the single photon interference in the double slit experiment. But what two paths could a photon take in a telescope allowing it to interfere with itself? The mirrors are placed so far apart a photon could never bounce off more than one mirror?

I could recreate this deceptive workload on the Adobe UK site but not the Australian or US sites. It looks like they're playing fast and loose in the UK. In Australia this would be prevented by Australian consumer laws which has broad protections for behavior likely to mislead consumers (fine print, unclear total contract price etc).
“moral absolutism”

How dare people make judgement calls on actions they feel are morally wrong! Why, that’s like burning people at the stake!
There was a reporting mechanism. I still wouldn’t switch over it (literally every company storing loads of data does this, but it’s usually server-side and less carefully thought-out). At the end of the day, you have to consider the fact that child abuse is a thing that happens, a lot. Facebook found like 20 million instances of verified CSAM images sent on its service in a single year. I’m in support of privacy, but my right to privacy does not exist in a vacuum.

It's for verifying the correctness of subtitle files. The whole subtitling world is very, very messy. There are dozens of file formats, many of which have many variants and versions. You might have a file that works in one place, but when you upload it somewhere else, it doesn't work.

Trying to figure out why means reading dozens of pages on dozens of sites trying to understand that 'Oh SRT formatting doesn't support that particular styling format'. It's a mess. Also dumb stuff like a subtitle that has zero length or a subtitle that has a end time before its start time. Trying to understand whats broken in a subtitle file is a PITA.

This is the first tool I've seen trying to make it easy to figure out if a subtitle file is broken.
File formats have compression for a very good reason - network transfer of these files. If compression was done only on the FS level, web servers would uncompress files when reading them and then immediately after that compressing them again to send them over the network to clients, thus wasting computing resources. It's better when large files (image and video files) are stored and transferred in the same compressed format.
They would have to handle over a million customers each. At Google scale this becomes very costly, and they are after all a data mining company, not a company that supports people.
Apparently Elon Musk also got involved and called GoFundMe “professional thieves”, because they were going to redirect donations intended for Canadian protesters to other (likely left leaning) causes:

He also called out their double standard for claiming to not support protests that aren’t peaceful after they funded so many violent riots and illegal actions like CHAZ back in 2020.

The difference in me (chiefly culturally conservative prude) and the liberal cancel culture is that I won’t try to silence someone’s choices based on my values.

Reverse engineering is a field, and because it is client-side, we would know if Apple was lying. After all, they found the early version of Apple’s CSAM scanner and managed to make hash collision images for it.
This isn’t exactly true. The Django ORM can be used with care in the async views found in FastAPI and Django (see sync_to_async and run_in_threadpool helpers).

Plans exist to make the Django Queryset async, so it’ll be exciting when that day comes!
And another question, is this for purely functional code only, or does it / could it also apply to mutable data structures. In particular, is it somehow related to copy-on-write techniques (like for example used for Swift's data structures), or is this something entirely different?
I'm a recovering perfectionist who has read their fair share of Brene Brown, Steven Pressfield, Seth Godin, Tony Robbins, Anne Lamott, and many more.

The best metaphors I've read is in Bird by Bird. The author describes two different scenarios.

The first is that perfection & progress is much like driving late at night with headlights. You will only be able to see as far as your headlights allow. You might be going through a canyon, on a straight and narrow highway, or going the wrong way. But all you know for certain is what is in front of you.

The second is that you have to frame your perfectionism around something. That could be your loved ones, your dreams in life, whatever. If it's always framed around your past achievements, you're comparing to the past and not to the future version of what could be. Getting clear on why you're doing it is very important.

I truly believe you can devoid yourself of perfectionism. I've gone from being afraid to publish work to the public, to only publishing in the public and shaping my work based on the imperfections being pointed out in my shitty first attempts.

Your first attempt will be shitty. Your second attempt will be less shitty. Do this for long enough and you'll start to get a feel for proficiency and what others see as "perfection".
I agree, and while it properly is down to personality, I add “is to make it also fun to build now?” Adding this motivational aspect helps me become invested enough to pull through the refactorings and non-so-essential parts that have been left for later.
Even if the prototype never grow to fruition, I get value from the fun stuff, as it prioritize the functions I haven’t solved before - adding them to my experience catalogue.
One of the things that keep me from switching to Linux on my gaming machine is Game Pass.
I would probably understand it, but I don't think those two words would necessarily make it clear to every person of every background, and it's very easy for Adobe to briefly explain the early termination fee on the payment page where everyone can easily see it.

They don't explain it because they want everyone to convert, even people who did not understand what they signed up for and would not have signed up if they had understood.

Subscription fee companies have always behaved like this.
For me it is more that the overall presentation is not clear. That wording on it's own is clear, but at every other stage in the process the implication is that it's a month to month commitment and not a full year you're signing up for. The fact that if you cancel they take half the year of payments and then only provide you with service for the remainder of the month is another nice little "fuck you" too.
This is something I think you need to unpack, at least if you want to convince me.

Prior to the last few years, Propaganda has always been acknowledged as detrimental to society, and a weapon yielded by authoritarian anti-democratic regimes and forces such as Nazism, Fascism, Communism and others.

It's nature is to deceive, misled, and discredit the truth, in order to gain political power.

It's seen as many as a way to repress speech, by shouting louder and more clearly then the voices of truth. It silences other messages by publishing large content to the contrary as well as direct attacks on the truth to discredit it.

From that angle, it seems to me Propaganda itself is a weapon against free speech.

In my opinion that means when you have a lot of propaganda in your media and social spheres, you automatically have less free speech.

Now I reckon that just having someone censor what they think is propaganda is giving that person, if they were the one behind the propaganda in the first place, all the cards, as they can now promote Propaganda and silence voices against it.

And that's not what I'm saying the solution should be, but for me to be satisfied, I need a solution that recognizes both these dimensions. And the solution of just allow all form of propaganda I also see as terrible, it's the second worst one after the other, just let people spread confusion and attacks to the truth in masse is almost as bad as letting them silence the truth.

We need something better then that too.

It's weird that they haven't come up with a better system other than "the tunnel changes directions every hour and shuts down at a certain hour, forcing people to sleep in their cars." In the boonies when they have to make a bridge one-way they put traffic lights at each end with radar presence sensors.

Seems like the rule is serving as an unofficial (and frankly illegal) town "drawbridge" to keep the riff-raff out.

Edit: to all the replies telling me how it couldn't possibly work because people will break the rules: which is also true of the current system? And gates are a thing, folks. So is automated enforcement?

If it's a private tunnel, nothing stops the railroad from saying "if you ignore the traffic control system, we fine you $x. If you do it again, you're barred from using the tunnel for a month and have a fine of $x*2. If you do it again, you're barred from using the tunnel permanently." Watch how fast people follow the rules.
They only changed it for the videos with vulnerable URLs. Do you really think it's better for all those videos to become effectively listed?

Maybe they could have done something more clever, like only private videos that aren't linked on the public web already, but there would still need to be a mass privating of most unlisted videos.
I'd really like to see the appeal source code :)

Google Doodle is an organization that controls the eyeballs of billions but succumbs to all sorts of biases, including being Western centric. Pertaining to OP's question of tech pushing people into STEM, Doodle perpetuates the narrative that woman in lab coats are more commendable. The tangent I made about the Tokyo Olympic Doodle is that the Doodle team is culturally oblivious.

Based on your other comment responding to OP, you've already assumed that STEM is the only tool to interpret the world and I responded that the liberal arts can also interpret the world.

There's zero oversight into this system, nobody can say for sure what it looks like. Yes, they're only scanning iCloud-synced photos (for now), but as we've seen with iMessage exploitation, the average iPhone user doesn't care enough to lock down their device.

This could very well be Apple testing the waters and trying to catch foolish criminals for a nice PR push when they decide they want to push it out to all devices. Once again though, there's no transparency here. We don't know what the list of hash collisions contains (and ostensibly won't ever know). You're welcome to use whatever device you want, but when people see black-boxes running on their system, I think they're perfectly right to be afraid. Much like how IME/PSP/T2 supposedly isn't used for surveillance, we have no way to verify that as users. We just have to take the word of these corporations and rely on blind faith that they won't abuse the MINIX system they control, or use DMA for anything evil.
I think that discussing both sides of a cost-benefit calculation will always sound like “downplaying” one side if you happen to think that one side of the calculation is obviously and straightforwardly the weightier. The way a utilitarian would approach this (not my preferred framing but not a bad one here) would be to say “how many deaths did vaccine misinformation cause, in expectation, probabilistically?” which is very hard to estimate, and then “how many deaths would result from the elimination of Enlightenment free speech norms qua norms?” which is even more impossible to even estimate. If we have a nuclear war because anti-war speech is suppressed (again: a thing that has happened historically) and three billion people die then “obviously” speech suppression was more harmful than vaccine misinformation. But this is the kind of thing that will only be obvious when it is too late.

To put it succinctly, you think I’m minimizing the harm of vaccine misinformation, and I suspect you’re minimizing the probable harms of normalizing speech suppression, and maybe we’re both somewhat right about the other.
handeave-handwave That document is a good start, but it mostly says human rights that are violated are still violated if they are violated with the Internet. There are a lot of subtle questions of rights collision it doesn't address, to which I was referring (including how freedom of speech and freedom of press interact when the speech is through someone else's service).

>heard from the more cellophane elements of that crew

I should have made this distinction more clear. There are evangelical Christians whom I love dearly and hold in the highest regard. I don't want to call anyone a 'fake' Christian but there are definitely those that just seem to be focused purely on what others should and should not be doing. That's the kind I'm talking about here.
Maybe I say something stupid, but could a "IPv4+/IPv6 ready" protocol maybe ease the transition?
What I mean is the following: as IPv4 is 32bits and IPv6 is 128bits, you could write a subset of IPv6 in the format nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn where n is a digit and you would allow nnn to have values from 0-999 instead of 0-255 as it is today for IPv4.
I will explain one nnn part, the others work the same.
0~255 means 0~255.0.0.0
256~511 means 255.0~255.0.0
512~767 means 255.255.0~255.0
768~999 means 255.255.255.0~234

You have 4 of these nnn's, so 4 x 4 bytes = ( a little less than ) 16 bytes = 128 bits, with the restriction that not all combinations can be made.
But if current hardware could get patched firmware to accept/use these kind of "IPv6 ready" addresses, then the IP address could stay the same (or at least could easily be converted to a IPv6 address) if a true conversion to IPv6 only network would take place. I can imagine that this would give possibilities for a smoother transition.

Fastmail also has an email client, and a calendar. The calendar is integrated into its email service too. And the calendar integrates really well with iCal / CalDAV. I find fastmail syncs calendar entries between my apple devices more reliably than apple's own icloud.

The big hole in fastmail's offering is that they have no replacement for google docs & spreadsheets.
