IIRC, the original point of civil forfeiture was to remove the possibility of the accused, between the start of a criminal suit (or even before) and the outcome of the trial, from moving their assets to somewhere beyond the reach of the court.

The goal itself seems reasonably (though not perfectly) noble.

The use of this ability in the real world though ... not so much.
Avoid multimode. Unlike singlemode fibre it needs upgrading as speeds increase.
Prison doesn’t work. At all. My views are more radical than ever. The lesson to learn is; never try to effect serious social change via peaceful means, go directly to illegal means, bypassing legal protest will mean the police won’t know who they are looking for.

I can’t say I lose a seconds sleep over the “victims”, they are weak minded crybabies
Are you talking about a hypothetical scenario or do you actually do this? I am asking because as people start earning more money, lifestyle creep introduces new types of expenses. So they also have expenses to think about other than business class tickets. Most well-to-do folks that I know tend to spend more hotels than on the travel. Very well-to-do folks do spend on business class tickets though, but a $500k job doesn't fall into that category in my opinion.

I'm sorry but that is a really weird argument. Who are those groups of people who want us to pretend there are no similarities or differences between them and other groups of people?

The consumer licensing of the OS isn't their cash cow, the subscription revenue from tied services is, so changing the OS base doesn't change the subscription push.

A very small portion of the market is even aware a Windows license costs money. If they've bought a Windows PC since 7 it's pushed them for free all the way to 11 and the vast majority don't build their own to find out they need a license (and heck it really doesn't do much against you if you don't buy the license these days anyways).

The real money in the consumer side is in the services and data, O365/teams/onedrive/bing/edge(browsing), which is why they push these so hard on default installs. It wouldn't matter if they used Linux as a base, their push would still be to push users towards these services.

That a few people who even know what Linux is would be more likely to use thire services if they stopped pushing them to the average user isn't going to sound enticing to Microsoft as they'd be losing a lot more than gaining.
So you download files and submit it to VirusTotal before opening locally?

Yes.

Are they free or they charge when you increase usage?

I believe they do have limits for free usage but I have never hit them. Businesses have paid relationships with them to use their API.

What about private/sensitive files

The only executable files that fit the description would be 0-days that friends created in my prior professional career and those files I knew were malicious by design so I would not submit them unless I wanted to trip up their demonstrations.

For anything that appears to be multimedia but may have come from an untrusted source I will analyze the file myself using open source tools or if in doubt I will just delete the files.
That may have worked 10-20 years ago.

These days there are established procedures and protocols that prevent this.
I think my point is that destroying one copy of the data is pointless when other copies exist.

It's great to hear that Opam is making progress! I just wished that it would be more deeply integrated with Dune. A package manager that doesn't build is not very useful to be honest. Currently the only way to not have to care about switches and be able to clearly specify dependencies is to use the esy package manager[1] (which had lock files a while ago). With their work on Rust I can only hope they get inspired by Cargo.

It's also interesting to see that they're working a lot with Rust. I've seen a lot of OCaml people switching to Rust or getting more and more into Rust, I'm wondering what this means for OCaml.

I don't understand your point, if the database is leaked the security is compromised... well yes red is red, and green is green and HTTPS improves NOTHING of that.

HTTPS is a huge waste of electricity.

A more frugal way of securing logins is to use this RFC: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2289

Registrations would need additional security but HTTPS with centralized root certificates is NOT one of them.

Accused of something inappropriate, but summarily fired anyway.
Yep I agree with you. Was mostly referring to overreactions / overstepping rather than these open boundaries being broken and it being a consequence intrinsically understood by both.

We know that in some situations expensive sensors can get data that optical cannot. What we don't know is if any of the above is enough extra data.

What we do know is there are times when humans are bad drivers, and other times when humans continue when they shouldn't relying on luck. (Ie driving in snow storms with low visibility)
> cars operate on roads, while pedestrians operate, largely, on sidewalks.

In theory yes, but in practice most cities do a terrible job of separating cars and pedestrians. Here in NYC a pedestrian dies in a crosswalk almost every day, and on a sidewalk much more often than you'd hope. Here's one from last week: https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2022/02/10/breaking-careless-suv...

Hah, yes-- since exiting your home with a young child is already an exercise in micro logistics, adding one more item to the list is pretty straightforward.

I'm sure you're already aware of the advantages of pumps, so I'll just chime in with a complete endorsement of them: Switching to a pump for my wife certainly made things easier-- less planning, more freedom. It was also a significant health benefit: Not needing to make educated guesses with long/short acting insulin means things stay in range on a much more regular basis, which keeps your A1C significantly more in control, limiting the long term consequences of lifelong diabetes.
That's the problem. Assets can't commit a crime. They aren't people, or even corporations. Yes, maybe a court will determine after conviction that $XX is ill-gotten gains and require the convicted defendant to turn over that money. But stealing before a conviction just on a whim? This has got to stop.
Hmm what do you mean by piss poor 4k support? I have a 27" 4k display and so far things have been great with debian/gnome at 200% scaling. From what I can tell at least integer scaling is pretty good in most Linux desktop environments.
Ooops, virtue signalling gone wrong here.
> builds are performed "inside out"

Docker supports multi-stage builds. They are quite powerful and allow you go beyond the "inside out" model (which still works fine for many use cases).

> ...and aren't reproducible

You can have reproducible builds with Docker. But Docker does not require your build to be reproducible. This allowed it to be widely adopted, because it meets users where they are. You can switch your imperfect build to Docker now, and gradually improve it over time.

This is a pragmatic approach which in the long run improves the state of the art more than a purist approach.

Oh certainly, 10 years is a very respectable tenure with an organization. That's been around the point where, at a couple of prior jobs, I was definitely ready to move on.
In Canada at the moment, the banks are definitely not "allowed to do what they decide". They are forced by the government to freeze accounts of anyone who they think might be associated with the Convoy protests.

It is a frightening degree of authoritarianism that has a substantial chance of leading to disastrous results, either in the direction of totalitarian government, or in the direction of civil war, or both. (Perhaps not immediately, and perhaps not even in Canada - but if the edict is not immediately squashed by saner heads, the precedent set will be very damaging.)

One can only hope that saner heads do prevail, on all sides, and that like many frightening crises in the past, we muddle through. Unfortunately, that is not at all guaranteed.
Cells don't live for free and fat is stored in cells. So yes storing fat burns calories, just far less than muscle. And that's just the direct expenditure.

I see a few numbers thrown out for how many calories a pound of fat burns a day, but that direct burn is only one way additional fat would lead to energy use. A heavier person while less "active" will burn more during day to day due to carrying a heavier mass. I'm sure there's plenty more ways but I'm not going to go do a deep dive.

Despite webmail's many flaws, I haven't found an MUA that's as good for me as the Gmail web UI.

- Most MUAs choke on my archive. Simple searches take seconds.

- Every modern email service has a tag-like construct. Representing tags in IMAP duplicates messages.

- Decades later, IMAP sync is still slow, unreliable, and annoying to debug.

- A surprising number of MUAs ignore account boundaries when integrating with my contacts.

- Depending on my job, I go through years-long periods with lots of calendar-related mail. Tight integration between Google Calendar and my mail client is very convenient.

- I use snoozes and (especially) delayed sends often.

- I use all these features on my phone, too.

I haven't found an email client that solves all these problems, on both my laptop and my phone, that's better than Gmail web UI + Gmail iOS app. With two exceptions, all the clients I've tried are slower and less reliable, and they often have fewer features important to me. These days, they're often a less-polished, poorly-tested website in an Electron container. I'm happy to pay for GSuite (or whatever they're calling it these days), because I get ad-free clients that work for me and excellent uptime/deliverability.

* The only genuinely good clients I've found are Mailbox (never shipped a stable desktop client, but had useful innovations) and Superhuman. Mailbox was discontinued post-acquisition, and Gmail has implemented their best features. Superhuman is fine, but not worth paying for (though I'd perhaps feel differently if I spent hours each day in email).

I think this is shifting blame, the father could have avoided any harm to his children by not engaging in dozens of multi million dollar felony frauds. Or by simply keeping his assets which are tainted with stolen money totally fire-walled from his wife's. As soon as they intermingled accounts there is no sense of 'which dollar was honest and used to invest in his wife's business', everything is tainted.

> You mean like Glassdoor?

No. Glassdoor are posts by (ex)employees and you have to fill out their existing template, which leaves out a lot of perks/benefits/options/RSUs at companies. If you looked at Glassdoor, you would think people at FAANG make no more than $120k/yr because the rest of the perks/benefits/options/RSUs match or often exceed (eg: 2021) the cash component.

What do you think could the prison system have done differently to make your views less radical and extreme?
Using Windows with a Microsoft account introduces all sorts of issues that only power users tend to come across, and power users are who Windows Pro is targeted for.

For example, RDP'ing to a Windows Pro computer with a Microsoft account becomes a lot more difficult. Another example is that Windows still needs a local username and password, even if you've logged in with a Microsoft account, and this can get out of sync if you change your Microsoft account password online, meaning you now have a different local password to your online account.

It's a frustration that power users don't need and this is probably going to force me to relegate Windows to a VM.
In spite of stating my point, you're still missing it.

Nothing Software Engineers are selling to farmers is necessary to do farming. I don't even have to go back that far to make this case. You don't need tractors with GPS on them to farm, because people in the 1960s had tractors without GPS. GPS might make things slightly easier, but it's not changing enough to justify the difference in salary between someone who does work that literally feeds the entire population of a country, and someone who tracks your location.

One of those things is absolutely critical to survival, and the other might occasionally be helpful. It's the difference between a 'need' and a 'want'. I need food to survive, I want an app that can give me directions to an address.

Fun fact: 99% of the people who think something is entrapment have no idea what "entrapment" means.

If the cops leave a car running with the keys in it, and you steal it, that's not entrapment.

If someone says in a forum "hey I'm 13 and I like dinosaurs" and you start messaging them about touching peepees and such: not entrapment.

The cases involving entrapment and terrorism charges, for example, have been largely bullshit. They'll find someone not-all-there mentally, source a "weapon" for them, groom and coach them, egg them on, hand them plans, etc....that's entrapment.

My home is a mix of topologies, but everything that is twisted pair copper that was pre-existing is Cat5e and has no trouble fully saturating 10gbps (30-40ft average loop length). I have cheap RG6 handling 2.5Gbps where I didn’t have an existing cable run and didn’t want to run new cable and it can fully max out the connection too based on iperf testing. In my basement, I also have fiber (for >2 meter spans) and twinax (for 1-2 meter spans) in 10Gbps and 40Gbps too.

I'd love to use RSS for everything, but the problem has always been that most RSS readers are really really bad.
I want one where I can add all RSS feeds I care about, then easily filter through the posts by assigning tags I care about, get notifications about certain tags, and easily navigate huge lists.
I basically want to filter based on content, tags and other things, then set what kind of notification I'll get based on tags.
One tag might give an actual toast notification, one might just be highlighted, others might be dimmed and marked as "uninteresting" and some might be straight up hidden.
So far I've not found a single RSS reader I like and they all just sort of act like a basic email client, and usually don't do cross-platform either.

Can you please elaborate? My exposure to DragonflyBSD is limited to knowing that they have an interesting new filesystem (Hammer2).

I’d love to hear the strongest case for deploying Dragonfly.

I feel AT is great for enthusiasts. I want them to become more mainstream, as their reviews are so much better than generic tech sites, but they need a better balance. They sometimes release iPhone, Galaxy or Pixel reviews weeks or even months after launch. Just look at Youtube, and impact on views from being first with a review. Reviews that arrive weeks after a product launch don't have mass-market appeal. AT either doesn't understand the market, or is understaffed.

I get a thorough review can't come out on day one, but they need to get something out. Maybe a first look with some opinions, followed by a more thorough review a week later.

What kind of company are you at?

My observation has been that there is a soft ceiling somewhere in the range of 160-200k for senior software engineers at non-tech cost center companies no matter the size.

If you're in that kind of company, just breaking into a mid tier or above Silicon Valley style (style, not necessarily literally located in SV) tech company will let you break through the 200k ceiling as a senior.

If you're already in that kind of company and have already broken through the 200k ceiling, then yeah...I think the most "reliable" way of going further is FAANGMULA or companies in the same tier.

All scoop does is extract installers/archives from the applications own portable distributions, and then create shims for them. Scoop packages aren't actually packages. They are just manifests that point to a URL to the apps download, and a list of executables to make shims/shortcuts for and that is it.

There's the nonportable bucket for apps that have er.. nonportable versions.
