I am skeptical to current nuclear power, would have liked Molten Salt Reactors instead. However I see leaders having to do something. Environmentalists are blocking construction of more wind power, and crisis with Russia makes gas less accessible. France has a relatively good track record on nuclear power. They may pull this off. 2035 is a really long time to wait for new power to the grid though.
I've been thinking about this because it's true from my observation, and I wonder what's the main reason:

- Is it because they are "not evil enough" compared to FB in tracking people?

- Is it because they can't track people in the same way (FB pixel is _everywhere_ on the net, Twitter's code is also widespread but probably less?)

- Is it because publisher tools are not as good as FB's? (in FB from what I know you can target various demographics really well with campaigns, based on criteria such as location, age, interests, approximated wealth etc)

I think I accept your point on medical debt. Medical debt can happen to anyone.

But even credit-card debt is dependent on your credit score. Poor people don't have good credit, and therefore their ability to take on credit-card debt is limited compared to a richer person.
Honestly, 3 is the one that bothers me the most out of that list. People being irritating and entitled about something that's free (as in beer) is beyond frustrating.

I doubt it. Those rock piles are seriously famous! Landmark achievements of our internet will perhaps be known on the level the highlights of medieval scholasticism are known: experts exist, but people like me know as much as that Occam wasn't a barber and that somehow jokes about angels dancing on a needle are a thing.

Fascinating, thank you! Admittedly I don't keep the closest tabs on what Xilinx is doing.
Honestly, requiring a resume at all is kind of a pain. As much as I dislike LinkedIn, all of the job contacts I get are on there, and it’s kept more up to date than my resume. The person reaching out has obviously read my page, or else they wouldn’t be reaching out. Yet half of them then ask for an emailed copy of my resume, even though the next person in the process always just looks through my LinkedIn again.
I'm curious - what do you believe I should've done? How do you discredit a p-hacked small-n experiment, aside from noting that it should not be trusted a priori due to the extreme bias of the results expected from such kind of studies?

Genuinely curious as I've (in my limited experience) only ever seen them intermittently used a handful of times and then forgotten about.

busy work.

Students can test out of classes early (or get placed out if they solve challenge AKA from-the-next-section problems on tests, or something), and take the other classes instead. Not everyone will be learning everything, like how not everyone takes calculus or advanced chemistry before going to college, but better to teach some students extra then waste their time “teaching” them stuff they already know.

Another issue is, whose going to teach those courses? But we can consolidate classes and rely more on programs like Khan Academy, with teachers only devoting their time to students who struggle. Lots of teaching can be done via just computers at least for advanced students.

Facebook actually had APIs which got closed down after a couple of data-mining scandals (first these "quiz" apps and games, then Cambridge Analytica as the final nail in the coffin), and their messenger used to support federation via XMPP. IIRC that got shut down because of spam and scams.
I could see it being useful to map the same area twice, adjacently; not specifically at 0x4000 though. You'd still wrap pointers at some point, but as long as sizes are limited to fit into your buffer, you could do memcpy and what not without having to check boundaries. If you were mapped at 0x4000 and aliased at 0x5000, you could memcpy something to 0x4FFF -> 0x5003, and not have to do a split write of 0x4fff and then 0x4000 -> 0x4003.

(If your buffer is bigger than a page, this will still work, just use bigger addresses, etc. if your buffer is smaller than a page, you're stuck)
Twitter like all mass social media is competing for quantity of user not quality of user. Because their product is the user: behavioral analytics & advertising.

If you're gonna use Twitter anyways, Twitter has zero incentive to make it a more productive tool for you (in fact they want to be slightly less productive so you spend more time on it). Due to network effects, they are not worried about competitors shipping a better product.
To be clear, I meant that there are no wrong "what" answers, but there are definitely "why" answers that would reflect badly on a candidate.
We plan to introduce a tool for assisting migration from SQL databases, but at this very moment, the only way to migrate an existing app is to re-create your DB schema in EdgeDB and then write a script to import the data. EdgeDB right now is definitely more geared towards starting new projects with it.
The early United States was on the way to being an individualistic society, but hadn't arrived. In particular the natives who they killed they saw as part of a group, and not as individuals.

There is a long and complicated history in English speaking people of "rights for me, but not for thee" which started with the king, was broadened to nobles with the Magna Carta, was broadened to rich landowners with the establishment of Parliament, was in the process of being broadened to free white men around the time of the American Revolution and has piecemeal been given to other groups over time.

What today we consider "universal rights" were historically not universal. Our awful treatment of others is tied to our not granting rights to them. And our awful treatment of ourselves (for example in totalitarian societies) is tied to our being subsumed in something greater.

If you do anything publicly and give it away for free you will always have people complaining about it and undervaluing your work (you're giving it away for free after all). This is true of software or anything else (even if it's not free: retail work is hell).

Unfortunately FOSS is notoriously bad for this, whenever someone complains in a rude way and I'm at my limit I tend to respond with: "feel free to use different software" — that's it. You don't owe them anything, and sometimes even that response is an unwarranted kindness.

As Fred Rogers is famously quoted: "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping."

Look for the helpers. Try to ignore the detractors (not always possible, unfortunately). It can be very hard, but in the end I still find it worth it. Maybe someday I won't.

If you are frustrated with legal issues around OSS you can make a small contribution to an organization like https://softwarefreedom.org/, or if you're looking for general software advocacy you can contribute financially or with time to the EFF (https://www.eff.org/about/opportunities/volunteer/coding-wit...)... there are a lot of helpers beyond these, and you can be one too.

I guess you've seen it somewhere so your observation is equally as valid as mine, but I've lived (UK) in the North West, Midlands, and South West, and have worked in London, and I've never seen the word kebop anywhere ever.
Yup. The kernel of truth behind Austrian theories of macroeconomics/the business cycle is that interest-rate based policy setting is inherently an unstable system. If the central bank makes policy errors that fail to stabilize the underlying target (whether inflation, nominal income, exchange rates, whatever) the whole system starts spiraling away from that unstable equilibrium point, and the subsequently needed correction grows even larger. It's important that errors be promptly corrected, and expectations about future policy remain properly "anchored" to the right target.
So you're in a bind because a key person has left. Other team members do many of the things that the key person did. You're looking to hire another person in the same role that you can't afford to lose.

Wouldn't it make sense to decouple some of the requirements? For instance, there's pretty good separation between front and back end. The person only needs a conceptual understanding of the other side and detailed understanding of the protocol to be used. I use both Vue and many backend tech, but my understanding is that I use Vue with a REST api and reactive rendering. The api design could be iterated by members from both groups.

If the FPGA industry thinks it has been trying to do this for decades, then it has been going about it seriously wrong! Keeping your systems as black boxes, with unit prices and development prices that make them prohibitive for anything but high margin device, effectively guarantees they'll never become popular consumer commodities.

With how open development works, the straightforward minimal investment is to publicly document some devices' bitstream formats and bootstrap the ecosystem by releasing some reliable Libre place and route software. The software doesn't even have to contain all of the trade secret heuristics, it just has to work with (./configure && make && make install) and be functionally adequate enough that individual developers can scratch their own itches.
I wish there could be a centralized matchmaker service for job-seekers and companies. I guess LinkedIn is kind of like that, but there is not enough employer buy-in. Job-seekers cannot assume that they are being considered for a position just because their LinkedIn profile indicates that they would be a fit.
indeed I remember looking at them. this was years ago, and I'm no longer on the project though :)
Wait, I don't get it.

Big tech companies don't park servers in the EU. Is it THAT difficult? Of course it is not, and they just don't want to do it.

On the other hand, big tech companies are happy to park their IP in Ireland (a EU country) in a phony company, simply to avoid paying taxes.

What's the logic?
To what extent is any hardware manufacturer responsible for malicious usage of their product in your opinion? Surely you don't believe that all bases can be covered no matter how simple the product prior to launch. I credit Apple for making a best effort at launch and continuing security and support for much longer than the industry standard in their products. But realistically there is no way to launch something flawless as you seem to be suggesting.
Right, but if you don't want the code to update unless you specifically update the verification hash and version number, why wouldn't you download and install it locally?

There's two separate questions:

A) is it ever good to have dependencies that can change underneath you? (arguably no)

B) if you don't want dependencies that change underneath you, why would you ever want to import directly from a URL at runtime?

----

> The code can update dynamically. You simply have to update the version number and verification hash on your end (same as you would in a package manager).

Code that I import through a package manager can update dynamically. I just need to update the version number and re-run `npm install`. Why would someone want to use a URL if the update process is the same as using a package manager?

I'm having a somewhat difficult time imagining a use-case for fetching dependencies at runtime that isn't related to not knowing until runtime what the dependencies are or what version is being fetched. Maybe for making installation smoother? But anything that requires compilation or is system-dependent isn't something you're going to want to re-fetch at runtime anyway. I suspect those dependencies will be slow to install.

And we're not dealing with a web situation where you might want to import from a CDN or another location that has better uptime. It sometimes makes sense not to serve assets yourself on the web just because it's expensive/difficult to serve them quickly. Node dependencies don't have that problem, pulling the dependency in as an install step will mean runtime performance is faster, not slower.

I get the argument that you shouldn't do dynamic imports that don't have resource integrity checks, but that seems like an argument against this feature in general -- you shouldn't really be doing runtime imports at all, because... why would you need them except for unpinned/unchecked dependencies?
Or just buy them on eBay, pre-silenced.

I'm really not exactly sure what happened here in this "update", other than "FYI, we'll give out information after being subpoenad" and "we'll also include a dialog to say "don't track people with these"."

Try reading the article. In this instance the editors were the censors, as they were government workers.

And regardless of whether or not you want to call it censorship or some obfuscated term like "editorial choices", the point remains that the black holes draw attention to these "editorial choices", which seems to very clearly be the point of this project. Removing them, or making them unobtrusive is counter to the aims of the project.
In Germany it's the latter – you're allowed to listen to amateur radio, plus any public broadcasts like radio, TV, CB radio, weather satellites, maybe a few other things, but nothing else that's only intended for a limited target audience.

So while e.g. in Switzerland listening to air traffic control is legal and Zurich airport's official plane spotter info page even provides a direct link to liveatc.net, in Germany it's officially illegal unless you're a pilot (and even then it might possibly be technically illegal if you're listening in not directly in conjunction with flying, i.e. while not wearing your pilot hat figuratively speaking).
> because the request headers of the client are being logged and used to identify a session

No need to dig so deep: IP addresses are considered private information under the current EU law, meaning that just opening a client-side connection somewhere leaks that data to that somewhere.

> I don't see how Google Docs is less susceptible to Google tracking user activity (and by extension US intelligence).

There is none. The difference is that the website studied in the ruling was not including resources hosted at Google Docs, and hence no mention of it. If the site embedded or directly linked to a google docs document the same reasoning would have been applied.

> CNIL doesn't want sites hosted in France to be making client-side calls to services provided by Google (whether analytics, fonts, etc) or theoretically any US-based service provider because the client request will be logged by that resource host and open to access by US law enforcement? Do I understand that correctly?

Almost. They don't want any calls prior to explicit user acceptance.

> What's the solution?

For fonts/images required to load the page, use EU-based hosting facilities. If you want to link to a google docs document, a youtube video or something like that, ask the user before following that link.

> That seems... sweeping, profound, surprising, impactful. Have fun with that.

It is, I don't think anyone is denying that. There are several things that may happen here:

1. US tech companies take it as common practice to spin-off EU-based companies that are not subject to US law and store everything in EU soil. When they don't, EU competitors pop up and EU companies use those.

2. The US passes laws that offer EU-level protections to both their own citizens/companies and (at least) EU-based citizens/companies.

3. The EU backtracks on this by adjusting their current laws.

Apparently, this is not what happened. It seems that there are no neanderthal traces on human mitochondrial dna. This means that all neandertal legacy comes from neanderthal males mating with human females.

It's not a question of how attractive you found a neanderthal girl. Maybe as a human male you wouldn't be strong enough to seduce her!
It's interesting you say that, because for me personally, security is one of the main benefits of a Google account.

If this is the main motivation here then I would look into Google's advanced protection program that allows you to lock down your account with two Yubikeys and disables all other forms of 2FA.

As far as I'm aware, you still can't use a YubiKey to secure a Proton Mail account.

Twitter should learn from Tiktok and Spotify. Their algorithms work very differently.

Spotify has allowed me to discover some great songs just by creating a Song Radio from a song I liked. And it has also broadened the genres I listed. And spending 5 minutes on Tiktok's For You Page can help me feel better after a stressful day.

On the other hand 5 minutes on Twitter can easily lead to more stress in my case.

I never knew that aspect of the AGC. I knew the core memory was "sewn" by women at Raytheon but I wasn't aware it wasn't just standard core. The guy who ran software at the Instrumentation lab (and had literally written the book on orbital mechanics) did once give a talk where he related an anecdote of some of the astronauts visiting Raytheon to, as he put it, reinforce that they should really be careful lest these nice young men die.

It will likely become even worse: it is not just AWS US regions, but any region. AWS is a US based company falling under US legislation, and (as far as I know) also owns its EU regions. So basically you cannot use AWS to store content of EU citizens.

You know any other US based companies? They have to follow the same reasoning.

It might even be if you are a US based company, you have to follow the same reasoning.

As a US company, you are not allowed to store or transfer data considered personal by GDPR of EU citizens, as your company can be compelled by the US government to hand over that data through an opaque/secret order where the EU citizen is not notified nor has the option to challenge this.

That's not necessarily totally true. The advertising world is susceptible to FOMO just as much as other people. Companies authorize their ad agencies to come up with a campaign and agree on an ad spend for that year/campaign. That money gets split up to cover as many markets as possible. If a competitor is spending on Twitter, then you spend on Twitter as well. You can't give the competitor the entire Twitter market.
