> I'm forced to watch every movie with subtitles

The silver lining here may be that people stop treating subtitles as torture and see some non-English titles more often. There are some fun movie cultures out there beyond Hollywood, but I've found the "ugh, I've got to read‽" response common.
> movies are given money on the premise that they will make money

so what would be an alternative funding model?

A patreon or kickstarter like model where directors and stars are pre-paid via crowd funding?

A state sponsored funding model?

Non-profit model?
Really great! In addition to humidity which others have mentioned, average sunny days per year might be another good metro. From a temperature standpoint it looks like Seattle is ideal for me, but I’m fairly certain I couldn’t handle that few sunny days.
The problem with growing trees (or other biomass) for energy isn't that it isn't renewable, it's that the power/area is very low. A second and almost as important problem is the large amount of water it consumes (by transpiration). PV is an order of magnitude more efficient at converting sunlight to usable energy and uses little or no water.

Biomass ultimately can be useful for relatively minor uses (chemical feedstocks, perhaps aviation fuels), mostly as a carbon collector rather than an energy source.

That's before installing OpenWRT!

This kind of shenanigans make (once again) the case for 3rd party post market FLOSS firmware to be installed on every device I own. Sure, I spend some extra time researching which router/AP/phone/ereader/smart appliance will be compatible with OpenWRT/LineageOS/KOReader/Tasmota/ESPHome/etc., but I feel more confortable this way. I have more trust in a bunch of people doing this for owning their devices than some corporation whose goals clearly don't align with mine.

I'm learning structural editing at work at the moment, the most useful ones for me so far have been:

- slurp forward

- raise
I now get that the DNS no-change part.

Was focused on the latter distinctions between:

- incomplete mTLS and lack of DNSSEC implementation (found in all web browsers)

- proper two-way mTLS with PKI validation of CA chain whose DNS CAA record is verified as properly protected by DNSSEC.

The latter distinction gets your data through a BGP hijack safely from any MitM; former one, not so much.
I would agree that it can be difficult to find quality hardware that supports the open source software stack.

For example, what wireless access points are compatible with an openbsd router/firewall? I’ll admit that my initial searches were short but only finding results about wireless chipsets to use in the router were frustrating (I guess if I wanted to build my own access points that information would be valuable).
Thing is Russia itself isn't under existential threat and never was. No one was thinking of invading it or attacking it. This seems more about trying to re-establish a Russian empire where it controls other countries.

In some ways it's more like Afghanistan where they thought they'd go occupy some country and then found it too expensive and unrewarding.

I'm not sure Russia, or at least 99% of Russia wanted to invade Ukraine proper which it why Putin asked their parliament to recognise Donbass rather than admitting his real plan. It's kind of one man's project.
> FWAs do not require any specific domain expertise or specialization to build or manage

I volunteered to help out with a project that had been built using FaaS by someone with no specific domain expertise. After a day of reading the code and prototyping solutions, I ended up having to duck out of the project because it was in such a bad state.

Admittedly, this was mostly down to the fact it had been all set up manually by copy/pasting files into the FaaS provider's web interface, and FWA is recommending some amount of Infrastructure as Code which would help, but I do think FWA vastly underestimates the amount of knowledge and experience to do this well.

I would take a Django/Rails starter project on a Digital Ocean template box in an instant over a FWA application if it was a made by an inexperienced developer.
Congratulations, you came up with a programming verb that’s even more disgusting than “squelch”.
What does it even mean for an access point to be "compatible" with a specific OS on the router?
Wigner himself said the only genius amongst The Martians was von Neumann so he at least thought von Neumann was special compared to the others. For your example a mathematician who would fit better would be Norbert Wiener, who was taught from a young age by his father to be a prodigy.

You don't. Invaders implies armed occupying forces causing harm. "Invaders" is a more clear identifier than "gangster", given some gangsters may only sell drugs, not carry guns or use them to inflict direct harm.

Of course one could argue selling drugs is causing harm, but choice of ingestion of the drug is a distinct and challenging topic in and of its own. Also, the two can't be conflated (well) and the origin of the story was Facebook doing X, where X isn't equal to drugs.

I'm also thinking that enforcement against selling drugs is a governmental view, not a societal view. So, a group representing the larger group thinks "drugs are bad", whereas the larger group doesn't hold that consensus based view. It's the group speaking for the larger group holding that view.

In the case of Facebook's action, Facebook is deciding whether or not the larger group can use certain terminology, or not. Facebook is not deciding whether to address the "occupying forces" themselves, through direct action, like a government would do for the larger group.

Maybe Facebook is like a bunch of Mexican gangsters, though!

Nobody expects you to drop anything. They want to see if you're there, and if you're not, they'll look for someone else to help them instead of asking you a question that might not be answered until long after they already received an answer from someone else.

You could also buy an SBC with a few network ports and use that as your router.

From the comments

Nothing in your analysis shows this.
Moreover unless you explicitly deployed a root certificate on your clients (or if an app on the client did it), the router can't decode TLS traffic (deep inspection) without you getting certificate warnings on the client.
In that case, the only thing the router can see is the dns request, the IP and the TLS SNI.
In short your title is misleading.

I agree they couldn't be inspecting the contents of your traffic over TLS, but they could easily view destinations. I also agree, there's nothing in my analysis that proves that all the requests are related to network traffic.
However, if you look at the wording of the reply (directly from TP-Link) to XDA in their review, I don't see how it could be interpreted any other way? Regardless, I probably should have made my title "appears that it may send traffic related data".
I'll be happy if that isn't the case, but the lack of clear explanation from TP-Link when I've contacted support leads me to assume the worst

I think it's best not to write something that damaging without proof, especially when most people only read titles. Saying they're sending metadata and violating your privacy is all you'd need to hear.
I mean there’s indie games that are works of art just like there are indie movies for the lack of a better term. Similarly there are plenty of popcorn games with big budgets and shallow content.
One alternative could be, instead of buying a router, getting a single board computer designed to run whichever routing software you like. Banana pi is an example that comes to my mind. You'd need to get a case, and it won't be as neat as a commercial router.
> I'm not sure what you mean by a modular car design, but you definitely can't fit any motors with any battery in any frame, that will just make for a car with terrible performance.

Not any in any, but some in some is already possible, some Renault cars share parts for example with Dacia. But other companies tweak their design each yer, they change how the head lights look, shapes change, then some other inside parts shape needs to change so you got people having to redesign, re-test each year new filters and piping/hosing (this is the ones I am familiar with), Other shitty thing that happens is patents, some company gets a patent for some pretty obvious thing, now if you want to make spare parts for those cars you need to work around dose patents - a lot of work and expenses to be able to offer a different choice to the consumer.

The reason the engines and other parts can't be share is design and recently DRM, for sure you won't be able to install unofficial wheels on your fancy car without breaking some DRM protection(but is for your safety /s).
I don't think any of these skirmishes have ever come close to an existential threat to either party. If things ever come to that, I have little doubt that nukes would be used.

Principles, treaties, and ideals tend to go out the window when parties are backed in a corner with no alternative options.
One thing I've noticed is that is seems more recent movies lack character observations. Everything is done is in service of the plot.

I think it was in Doctor No there was a conversation between Q, M and Bond. Bond's favourite weapon was the Beretta, and Q explained their downsides. Bond was ordered to use the Walther (IIRC) as a replacement. It was in a box. At the end of the scene, Bond picks up the box, surreptitiously hiding the Beretta underneath. As he is about to walk out, M, continuing with his writing and without looking up, says to Bond, "Oh and Bond, leave the Beretta behind on your way out." (Or something like that).

It's a small scene, but it tells you a lot about the characters. It just adds to storytelling, even though it isn't a key scene.

Another example is the difference between the original Robocop and the remake. In the original, the villain Boddicker is hailed into the police station. Battered and bruised, he spits blood on some paperwork on a desk and says "Just give me my fucking phone call."

How badass is that? The villains in the remake were much less interesting, and it made for a weaker movie. I guess modern screenwriters /could/ write decent if they wanted to, but I assume that gunning for a 13 certificate really neuters the possibilities. I also suspect that there is more influence by the producers, who insist that certain things need to be in certain ways "for the demographics". So what you end up with is a story that's bent to suit the demographics, rather than just telling a good story.
You have some makers like Turris and GL.iNet that ship their devices with some customised flavor of OpenWRT. I just wander through OpenWRT's table of hardware, looking what devices fulfill my needs and are available in my country.

Like the ability for the ap to understand how the vlans the router setup work. I’m still quite the network novice but it seems like if I wanted a bsd firewall -> managed switch -> wireless ap I would need to confirm some level of interoperability for decent performance?
And also to spread knowledge of aspects of the system across the team.
Germany has a surprisingly reasonable compromise: you can get a DUI, lose your driver's license and all that, but the threshold for BAC is set twice as high for cycling as it is for driving. Actually these days the limit is more than three times that of driving, because apparently when they dropped the driving threshold from 0.8 to 0.5 the cycling threshold did not get automatically updated like in some excel formula. Fortunately, because I was afraid that the difference might disappear entirely when the driving threshold gets dropped to zero (only a matter of time I think, given how much drunk driving is perceived as a "boomer thing").

When I'm out on the bike, not drunk at all, I'd rather cross paths with a hundred wildly inebriated cyclists than even just one moderately tipsy driver.
considering the vast majority of people listen to movies in stereo, why don’t they include a decent stereo mix?
> George Lucas definitely didn't have the name or history necessary when Alan Ladd gave the go ahead to make Star Wars that you would need these days for a comparably ambitious film.

I don't know if that's entirely true. George Lucas had come off the back of American Graffiti, which was an incredible commercial success. It had made 50x its budget, and in 1977 was the 13th highest grossing film of all time.

The question was really whether Lucas could turn his hand to a completely different genre. It's down to American Graffiti's success that Lucas was able to re-negotiate a deal for Star Wars that gave him merchandising rights.
The biggest problem with movies is none of the labor has been automated much.

You still need an entire film and sound crew. You still need a cast of actors and a director and a screenwriter and a composer. You still need to raise money, producers, etc.

Sure, video & sound editing have had a lot of automation improvements via software - but that's pretty much it.

One person can make a game with a bunch of cheap pre-made assets and make something really interesting and cool.

You just can't do that with film.
I suspect younger people generally understand this and watch streaming shows instead. A creative who wants to tell a deep nuanced story would prefer 10 episodes where they get more time and probably better terms.

People lamenting the death of movies don't get this. The good stuff is still out there, it's just in a different format.

Movies are now more occasions to go out to the theatre. They have to be mass appeal, family friendly, nothing too complex.
1. This kind of pagination can be done for any key as long as its data type admits total ordering.

2. The WHERE condition typically uses `>` or `<`, so it doesn't fail even when that record is deleted before the next client request referring to it.
That's a disingenuous way of putting it.

The Palestinians who stayed in Israel during the Israeli war of independence became citizens. The ones who left, did not. They were also not part of Israel for almost 30 years, they were refugees of other countries, who then attacked Israel.

They have never been Israeli citizens, and were not even in Israel for many years before they became Israeli refugees.

(Whether they should have been granted citizenship when the lands were annexed as part of the war, or not, is a different question)

Fossil fuels have enormous global risk, so that's not bad for nuclear.

The problem is that nuclear is competing against renewables, not fossil fuels. So, new nuclear needs an argument for why it's better than renewables, not why it's better than something that's on its way out anyway. The usual arguments, intermittency of renewables and land use, don't work well when examined closely, at least when justifying new nuclear power plants.
It’s certainly still an option. Just an option you’re not willing to trade off for.

Better yet, those URLs communicate what you may do.

Instead of building the logic to determine if, say, a Payment can be cancelled, based on its attributes, you simply check 'is the cancel link there'.

I find this a critical feature. Because between the backend, and various mobile clients, react, some admin, and several versions thereof, clients will implement such businesslogic wrong. Much better to make the backend responsible for communicating abilities. Because that backend has to do this anyway already.
This was interesting. My background is that I'm a creative artist ("one of them pesky painters") who has to eat, and due to this has been forced to work in several IT related areas for the past three decades or so, employed as well as self employed.

Reading this piece I was struck by the thought - "hey shouldn't this be about creativity, and now he's off to talking about physics and math in stead?"

It's true that while working in "problem solving" fields you may sometimes feel that you are doing something creative. I mean, you actually come up with this solution to that issue which did apparently not exist previously. So, you did "create" something.

However, a painter (and/or a writer, or dancer, musician, any other "pure creative") does not have that luxury of a pre existing problem that is in need of a solution. S/he has to invent both the problem and the solution - and more often than not (IMHO) such problems are extremely abstract, to the point that one that observes the solution (eg a painting) will hardly be able to even guess which general type of problem that solution may offer a perspective on.

So, that was one thing. Another is that being a painter is not a career. Physics, math, sciences in general has a lot of different career paths to choose from, so if you have that general inclination you will no doubt be able to support yourself (get food) while doing stuff related to your interests. In painting, not so. The best you can hope for is that someone will note your work long after you're dead and gone. It does not pay the bills (except for rare exceptions which are just that).

I think that would be my two cents
Oh also, if you have vollkasko this is very unlikely to ever be an issue unless you were being grossly negligent (e.g. fiddling with the navigation while going 200km/h+), you're covered against "regular" contributory negligence.
My own experience is that (unix) timestamps are much less error-prone than textual representations like ISO 8601 and such. A field like `update_time_seconds` is clear and easy to convert into any representation. This is what the Google API Improvement Proposals recommends in most cases, though civil timestamps are also described.
https://google.aip.dev/142

Of course, when preparing queries against the API, you may need a helper to build valid timestamps. But this is mostly relevant to the discovery phase which isn't automated. And textual dates also have drawbacks, for instance the need to encode it when used a an URL parameter.
I would love to replace these "routers" with a normal computer. The thing is these computers would need special ports for either phone lines or fiber optic connections, as well as built-in modems. I've never seen a computer with this sort of hardware built into it. Even on dedicated network cards I only ever see ethernet ports, nothing compatible with whatever it is my ISP is using (SFP?). Decades ago in the dial up days I used to be able to buy modems separately but not anymore, and I'm not even sure what sort of hardware components are needed for a fiber connection...
Title should be amended to something like 'Face-to-face, rather than shoulder-to-shoulder, enhances learning, innovation.'

For a high quality face-to-face remote experience, I expect we'll start to see really impressive consumer ready technology announced soon. See what Facebook have been doing with cameras mounted in VR headsets [1] or Google's Project Starline [2].

That said, when we're doing this much transformation and synthesis of the raw data to achieve high-fidelity telepresence, are we going to have issues trusting it?
