A browser that kills tracking ads and an ad agency that sells nontracking ads and needs places to sell them.

A privacy browser kills tracking ads -> most of the web is ad-funded, wat do. Brave's solution is a nontracking ad agency to make money. How to get people to watch ads? They buy BAT with a portion of their ad revenue and send it to users, so the users can make pocket money or use Brave's tipping service to support content creators. The creators who get the crypto can sell their crypto because Brave's buying it with normal money they earn from ad sales.

The competition is pretty squarely Google.

r&d in nuclear pretty much died down over past couple decades, it all went into wind and solar. and i think it's a mistake. safe compact nuclear reactors have been developed even with reduced capital, imagine where we could've been if we continued developing.
Democracies hopefully won't be able to do a thing about it (although there's a lot of debate to be had there), but crypto exchanges could easily unite and decide to make their own sanctions, effectively stopping to accept rubles/russian traffic. There would always would be work arounds, but that alone would go a long way.

Of course lying about the lying is part of the strategy as well.
Thank you very much. This is how citizens and governments in nations outside of the Western world perceive the West and its mad war propaganda. And they're correct.

Westerners, that are scrutinizing every single move of Russia today, ignored every time it was pointed out that the U.S. was waging a proxy war in Ukraine for 8 years.

The Minsk agreements, mediated by NATO members, were NEVER applied, and there have been 14000 deaths in the Donbass war since 2014. All the while, U.S. politicians have been publicly gloating that they "are fighting Russia in Ukraine". Their involvement in this is clearly documented -- except Westerners do not even care to look.

The current act of freezing the assets of the Russian state -- completely arbitrary thievery -- just sends the following message to outside governments that have seen this unfold: the West is not to be trusted.
To reply to your first question: if the car decides to emergency brake, you can still override it by pressing the accelerator. In my experience, the braking that happens is "hard" but no more hard than you would do yourself if something suddenly appeared in your drive path, and if you are paying attention you can press the accelerator within a second or so. If the person behind you has adequate following distance it shouldn't be a problem.

If the car loses power entirely then it gives you a few seconds warning in which you may or may not be able to cross to the shoulder before the car coasts to a stop. In this scenario the braking is not "hard", but obviously there is no real way to recover and you'll need to get towed.

I have not experienced any scenario where the car does not respond to steering or acceleration commands when it was physically able to do so.
One person cannot drive enough miles in their lifetime to allow making a determination that one system is definitely safer than the other. The reliability that we require from an autonomous system means you might never experience a safety failure (again, even if you drive every minute of the rest of your life), but the system is still less safe.
But what if the bus/train stops unexpectedly and another drives into it? It happens. Mechanical failures happen. Human error happens. Accidents happen.
If who exactly sets foot in a country that recognizes the convictions? No country is going to try to start a war with Russia by detaining their President.
In terms of shared second language English would probably just remove the need for trying to find a middle ground. But as a middle ground understandable without knowing a second language, it loses out because so much of its vocabulary comes from French. E.g. chair vs. stol, stoel, Shtul, a word that even has close cognates in Slavic languages (but the Germanic is hanging on in English in "stool"). An English with French influence replaced with pre-existing Germanic-sourced English words with Dutch as fallback might be a fun experiment.

Regarding spoken Dutch, I agree, it's painful to listen to. And I just got a horrible thought: A mix of Danish and Dutch pronunciation... I imagine it'd sound somewhat like death metal ;-)

I think this is misleading. There simply are not enough teachers in the us, largely because in a relative sense the pay is low.

It’s easy to point the finger at unions- mostly because it is a narrative that has been pushed hard for years.

The issues are way larger than the person in front of the classroom. Bad teachers don’t help but thinking I can just take test data at the end of the year and figure out which teachers are bad is wildly useless

The article is about randomizing a drive before using it for full disk encryption. That does in fact require a random pattern. The idea is to hide the structure of the data.

>...but otherwise there is no reason for anyone to do anything but zero out a drive and that includes almost every single company.

Overwriting doesn't work with SSDs. They leave copies of data laying around on the disk if you do that. That is even if you zero the whole disk as they have extra space in the form of overprovisioning.

>Most drives these days come with a secure wipe and that is the fastest way to clear them.

Tests have shown that a significant proportion of SSDs do this badly.
Brave buys the BAT they give users from the open market with a percentage of their normal money ad revenue. So there's always someone to sell the tips you get.

Judging from what Putin has actually said, the end-goal is much more expansive than that. I believed that a couple of weeks ago; but recent comments to the effect that Ukraine is a bogus state have changed my mind.
so I mentioned the same thing, though one thing to note (which I doubt duck dns helps with either). Is one can't use google's dynamic dns with AAAA records (i.e. ipv6). Personally, I think this is massive oversight on their part.

I know it was described that way, but I also remember a lot of legal immigrants getting very frustrated at illegal immigration, and even more frustration at left-leaning media constantly reclassifying any mention of illegal immmigration as referring to any immigration.

To me it seems like a category error, and I can't believe it's an accidental one. Some people do some things that we agree on are okay. Some go too far. That doesn't mean all do.

Slightly more broadly, I think there's a healthy discussion to be had on open borders, and whether immigration should be illegal at all, but constantly assuming someone means something they aren't saying is incredibly destructive to our ability to reason about topics.
if you are rejecting the offer, then it isnt your problem to address. if you took the job the situation might be different. otherwise you are just interjecting your opinion into a situation you have insufficient information about and no stake in the outcome.
A bit off-topic, but the fact that criminals asked for help mining, instead of money or crypto-money, just gave me an epiphany:

The whole internet is showing the first signs of a digital Resource Curse [1] brought by crypto mining. Crypto mining changed the economics of the digital world in such a drastic way that it is poisoning all kinds of internet interactions. It is not just about disrupting how money used to work, it is disrupting every kind of interaction, even those that had nothing to do with money. Things that were completely economically neutral before, so people did them just for fun, can now be exploited to extract value, so naturally some people do it and the previous innocent/neutral status quo is lost. For example: most free unix shell providers, a fun tradition from nerds from the 90s, had to shut down because now there is such a big economic incentive to abuse such free service.

And while writing above I realized that crypto is probably the second internet curse, with Google's algorithm being the first. When Google became the near-monopoly in the early 2000s, linking to a website ceased to be an economic neutral activity, people realized they could extract value from linking, so link spam became a big problem and forever changed the web.

In NL, the authority watching the police (Marechaussee, [1]) is organizationally a branch of the military, next to the army, navy and air force subdivisions. I guess it would be similar to having the National Guard be the police watchdog in the US.

The Marechaussee are also involved with other police duties such as fighting organized crime and riot control. NL police doesn't have SWAT teams like in the US, they would be part of the military hierarchy, not the police hierarchy.

> He said the car in front of him almost hit the car so they swerved barely missing him and then there was the Tesla right there.

This is not a criticism of the driver, because everyone does it, but one of my pet peeves is hardly anyone follows at a safe distance. Most of the time you can’t even if you want to because someone will merge in front of you with that much space.
I don't think they can do that for assist features like this triggering falsely, assuming that's what happened here too. For it not reacting to something there's always the line of "it's an assistance feature, marketing aside we tell you clearly it's an assistance feature and you need to pay attention and react yourself if needed", but that doesn't work for emergency braking triggering randomly, since there's nothing the driver could've done "correctly" to prevent it?
What axe does she have to grind exactly? She has distanced herself from Bill due to his relationship with Epstein. It is known, and there are pictures and documents verifying this and of Gates flying on Epstein's Lolita Express.

> I think the OP is wondering why, since the two answers seem to be contradictory positions.

They aren't really contradictory as they are separate concepts so covered by different conventions.

Copyright: the new contributor has copyright of the code they produced because this is automatic (in most jurisdictions at least), and they keep that unless they explicitly reassign it.

Licence: as the licence has not been changed in their fork, the old licence remains. If they change the licence in future then things are a little more grey for future contributions, and it depends on the licence. But they can't change the licence of your code unless the existing licence explicitly allows that. There may be limits on whether they can change the licence at all (i.e. if the original license is GPL).

With MIT all is well in this circumstance. A problem will occur if the core project wants to change their licence at a later date. Again IIRC with MIT this is fine, but with stronger licences they would need to get permission from the copyright holder of parts they are not officially the copyright holder of already, just as the new contributor wouldn't be able to arbitrarily relicense code taken from the primary branch.

if such an AI truly could be created, then what would stop the developers made redundant by the AI from using the AI to start their own software company and coming up with new services? After all, it would be cheap now - no need to hire anyone any more.

Improvements to tech results in better - even if there's some temporary disruption to people as they are made redundant by the tech.

And it's not as if you cannot prepare - use the excess earnings that a software engineer earns today to invest and own a piece of that future productivity.
From a very quick glance, it seems that Interslavic is to Slovio what Interlingua is to Esperanto.

Esperanto is a language that's simple and easy to learn (at least if you're familiar with romance languages), but not necessarily easy to understand if you're not familiar with it.

On the other hand, if you're familiar with 2 or 3 romance languages, try to read https://ia.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlingua. Even if you've never heard of Interlingua, you'll probably understand most of it. Interlingua is optimized for easy understanding, which means that it adopts common words from romance languages even if they're not totally consistent with the rest of the language. This means that ease of understanding comes at the cost of language consistency and ease of learning. For people in central Europe, I'd say Esperanto is easier to learn (to speak) and Interlingua is easier to understand.
> Unions have every bit as much incentive to maximize profits as shareholders.

This doesn’t make sense to me: a union member wants to be treated with respect even if making their working conditions worse would make more profit for the company. Similarly, a smart shareholder is willing to sacrifice short-term profits for long-term success — the idea that you’re supposed to screw everyone in service of the quarterly report is a [very successful] marketing campaign by the kind of MBAs who are hoping to profit before most shareholders realize what they’ve done to the company.
Cars break down all the time, new or old; until we know more details, this is not a unique situation. Did it break down and come to a rolling stop? Did it brake itself? Was Autopilot involved? Did the driver stop itself? Was there an opportunity to get onto the hard shoulder?

Chernobyl was a different era and mismanaged for days too. If something happened to the Ukrainian power station we'd know about it sooner (the proof of that is the fact that we know enough to have this discussion to begin with) and could react sooner. We've learned lessons from other meltdowns and nuclear and radiation accidents and incidents that have happened since Chernobyl and thus are better equipped and educated to respond. This applies as much to Russia as it does Europe, Japan and America too.

> I never say that I was concerned by an explosion blowing half of the continent, but the effects on Germany for example, were measurable and still last.

Your comment is very misleading then if that's what you meant:

"If it continues for a lot of time any depressed 19yo soldier could say I'm sick of this, decided to suicide and destroy half of the EU with him."

^ that reads to me like a pretty instant cause and effect, which a nuclear meltdown is not. If you were talking about over a prolonged period with no decontamination nor mitigation efforts put in place, then it really was not clear from your comment. And I'd argue that is a result of far more than just the actions of a depressed 19 year old soldier in isolation.

> I think that your prevision of just a few miles, enough to Putin have this safe perimeter, is too much optimistic

You're now conflating accident with intention. If Putin intentionally wants to contaminate half of the EU then that's a whole different argument to an accident happening during a capture of a power station or a depressed solder committing suicide (which was the original context you defined and the context I was responding to)

I'm not trying to dispute that the risk of contamination if one damages a nuclear power station is both significant and worrisome. I'm just saying it's not an instant effect (as your post implies) and thus measures can be taken to contain the worst of it to relatively a localized area.

Anyway, I think we both agree that nuclear power stations don't make good war zones :)
I'd imagine it's hardware growing to meet the capabilities of the battery...

While batteries keep growing, we keep increasing screen sizes, pixel density, refresh rates... I believe 5G also consumes more power.

I believe all car manufacturers have a clause for liability in case of e.g. mechanical breakdowns (if that is the case here), if not the car companies would be sued out of existence a long time ago. Cars break down regularly, new or old, and sometimes in a dangerous situation.
Tesla/Elon Musk have this weird irrational obsession with using only cameras for their autopilot. Yes, humans can drive using only two eyes (and also actually ears, touch feedback and acceleration sensors), but they also have a lot of accidents. It's not obvious that you can do better with software only, and in any case you're crippling yourself by not using additional inputs for no good reason.
Self-reply to add: despite (occasionally) experiencing phantom braking and my wife once experiencing the "loss of power" scenario due to a defective drive unit, I'm still very happy with the Tesla overall. In my experience it is the best car I've owned despite the flaws that seem to disproportionately make the headlines.

Well yeah, both the Dreamlifter and the Beluga were designed to carry aircraft parts, which are large, but not particularly heavy. Also, they are modified versions of civilian cargo aircraft.

Fwiw, we’ve had some years when it didn’t break freezing for months at a time (Quebec/Ontario). During those years, it hit temps that are the same in c or f a few days, and was usually -20c or so at night. So I guess EV’s need a “deluxe Canadian battery” or lugs where the dogs could be attached?

Well, an allocator is something your system might just not need. Rust doesn't come with an allocator either, if I only have say 16384 bytes of RAM maybe I don't want an allocator, I can write down what I'm using each byte for.

But C doesn't come with functions like memcmp() and memcpy() or memmove() either and those are pretty fundamental even if you're on a tiny constrained system that can't aspire to stuff like "strings" and "allocation" you've probably heard of data structures and copying.
Having the source leaked can be leveraged as a hindrance to third parties.

While it's closed source any coincidentally similar code is just that, a coincidence.

When it's out in the open coincidence becomes a potential denial of progress attack. How would you prove without doubt that something with clean-room created? Sounds time consuming and costly.
