I’d like to deal with it. My preferred way to deal with this complexity is to have an information diet that includes sincere attempts to capture this complexity, by reporting what is specifically happening with “ethnic tensions” in Ukraine, or the US, or Xinjiang. These are very different processes that are illuminated through details like, for instance, a “random spat” about land. It sounds like these folks are on the same page.

I can see why an organization that does international journalism would taboo “ethnic tension” on the presumption that there is a lot more to be said in order to capture the events and processed they are reporting on.

In the UK the manufacture couldn't get away with that. Goods are expected to "last a reasonable length of time", that includes even after the warranty has expired.

I once contacted Apple about a blown 4 year old MacBook Pro PSU. The Apple support guy told me I'd have to buy a replacement as it had reached the end of its life. At the time they were really expensive.

I asked him how long exactly Apple PSUs were expected to last and he went silent for a moment and then said he'd ask his manager.

His manager came back to me with the offer of a new PSU no questions asked, which I gratefully accepted.

One of the those questions not to be asked was what the lifetime of an Apple PSU was. :P
I agree that friends can break your heart, but it's not a necessary outcome.

> they’re the best when it comes to this

When all other electronics companies always had user replaceable batteries, Apple was the company that decided to not do it. Because the regulatory bodies did nothing to fix this, other companies copied Apple because that was profitable for them. Apple is not only not the best, it is THE worst. In fact, it wouldn't have come to regulatory intervention if Apple had done the right thing in the first place.

> At a certain point the old hardware just can’t handle the new OS as new features get added

It doesn't necessarily need a "new OS". My fridge has the same OS it came with 8 years ago and it works fine, my raspberry pi 2 model b from 7 years ago works just as well as it did when I got it, with essentially the same OS. Even the first gen Raspberry Pis from 10 years ago work just as well. Most people don't necessarily need "new features". And if they do, they can make that choice and get a new device that does those features better.

> Samsung to add updates past two years before focusing your wrath on apple.

Samsung provides official updates for less time as Apple (4 vs roughly 7 years) but they provide an official way to unlock your bootloader and install other operating systems, so you can go with community supported ones. If phones themselves start lasting longer, there will be bigger demand for these operating systems and maybe even third party commercial ones which are easy to install, maybe with a subscription even.

BUT, just because Samsung does this NOW does not mean they will continue to do so. They have demonstrated that if some shitty company comes along and abuses their position for profits, Samsung is happy to copy the strategy.

I understand that this forum has people who work for Apple or some other company or have investments in them or have positioned themselves to benefit from their success... and have incentives to defend them for short term profits for themselves... and those ideas are also picked up by even those who have nothing to do with it... and I believe that is the biggest group of people. Which is why I think brining this out and discussing it is important.

Anyways, there are a lot of possibilities if we are to focus on quality long-term sustainable products. Just because the current market is filled with disposable short-term products designed to be replaced all the time, doesn't mean this is the only way.

Anyone know what these "good reasons" are? I recall Stallman himself does the same thing, licensing his prose in a non modifiable format. To me it seems in screaming opposition to the idea of copyleft -- "make all the changes you want, but be sure to distribute them".
Socialists think they know how to make better phones than the industry, so they mandate industry has to do it their way. They are wrong, of course. It is also not "standards and fair consumer regulation", as it will only make phones more expensive. So if that angle works for you: it will hurt the poor the most.

Addressing the issue by faking the look of an AA battery is probably not ideal for your child. Have you consulted with your team of professional providers?

> Why not epoch? An integer always means epoch. A human readable timestamp, unless it's exactly ISO8601, is pretty much always ambiguous.

Because in practice, the only ubiquitous APIs for getting time since an epoch don't actually model an elapsed time standard. The odd one out is POSIX time.
I'm not so sure that this is true, but I do agree that as of this moment it is so.

The key thing you are looking at is (capital goods at time 1 / currency at time 1 ) / (capital goods at time 2 / currency at time 2).

Under a gold standard, mostly this means deflation with some periods during a gold rush rapidly going the other way. It becomes better to hoard gold and do nothing, and as you hoard the value rises further. This leads to economic stagnation because we don't actually encourage innovation.

Under a Fiat currency scheme, the reverse happens. The value of the currency is constantly dropping. So what you see is people hoarding capital goods. What makes this worse is that we are incorrectly treating land as a capital good. So this is what we see today, people buy shares or land, that value appreciates as the money is printed, and they earned nothing. And as people learn of this, we get crazy things like 401k's that invest in everything in order to grab a piece of this appreciation. We get crazy things like companies taking out bonds, then using those bonds to buy their stock, never actually using it to become more productive, because productivity doesn't pay. More economic stagnation.

If this rate is changing over time, we get speculation. We get rent-seeking. But if we were to introduce a system that forced this rate to never change, we could get through. Of course, the leading power would never allow that, because it's the leading power that is speculating on the assets that are appreciating.

I guess I'm also worried about an SSH zero day hitting that I could avoid if I firewall filter the source IPs.

I don't buy that as a factor. Given that the OEMs overprice the parts that they have to compete with aftermarket suppliers for, why would they NOT overprice the parts for which they have no such competition?

Note that being unable to profitably replicate the part does not necessarily mean that the part is naturally expensive, or that the OEM already sells it at a reasonable price. The part could just as well be hard to reverse engineer and QA for a third party, or the effort to do that might not be worth it given unknown level of demand, etc. OEM can actually have a natural price advantage over third parties in such complex parts.
That would require an educated populace and a functioning government, which we don’t have.
CFs are higher level than Lambda, they can implement HTTP endpoints directly. More like Serverless framework, or a combination of API Gateway + Lambda. And they have good container support, Lambda container support is a bit iffy.
> What does this mean? More efficient than what?

Than normal processes that are platform dependent.

> Not sure what “on containers” means. “On nodes”, sure. Do other platforms not solve this as easily? (Running multiple workloads per host)

On containers means your application is packaged to be used as a consumable service, that is in turn used to compose a more complex workflow service that solves a ‘real’ problem. I guess other platforms also solve this, but the concept of containers (and Docker streamlined it) was the first. Everyone followed later.

> I guess same question as above, there aren’t other solutions where you give something a fleet of hosts and it runs things on them?

There are years of bin-packing research (think operations research from 50’s). But none of them came with the integration that something like K8S brought. Mesos is another example, but comercial support is slowly killing it.

Looks not-so reliable. Either fetches a list of blocks from https://github.com/herrbischoff/country-ip-blocks which is a random GitHub repository that collects "straight from the Regional Internet Registries" without any stating any sources nor method for gathering it (which also, I'm assuming, is self-reported data from those registries), or it fetches it from https://www.ipdeny.com/ which currently runs with an expired TLS certificate, which on top of everything, nft-blackhole ignores any issues with certificates anyways, leaving it wide open to MITM attacks (https://github.com/tomasz-c/nft-blackhole/blob/8a656ac0a803a...)

If fail2ban is theater, so is a firewall, so is SELinux, so are filesystem permissions (a properly configured process would only read/write the files it's supposed to, right?).

If an remote vuln needs some stack-smashing technique that has a low probability of success, fail2ban is going to to slow that down - perhaps in a way that makes it more obvious in logs, buying you time to discover your broken configuration or out of date software. Same way that a firewall buys you time to find that your database is listening on 0.0.0.0.

I honestly fail to understand how downranking state-run propaganda that promotes a dictatorship's lies is considered to be a bad thing in a service that is all about providing useful information.

This isn't about silencing a political view, cancelling an unpopular opinion, or whatever. It's defending against a deliberate attack from an oppressive regime.

Your evidence is that the signal app client knows your phone number and can see your contacts list and your groups and your chat messages, and if it is malicious, it could just send all that to the server which could just store it in plaintext and turn it over to anyone who asks.

I don't understand why people always recommend ECS over EKS for smaller shops. EKS is kind of creaky, but we haven't really had any major problems with it, and the tooling around the k8s ecosystem is sooooo much bigger and better in terms of developer experience. We felt like we were constantly reinventing the wheel with ECS, and while I fully acknowledge that there's both less surface area and blast radius for things to go wrong with ECS, I'm not sure it's THAT much more stable. ECS is pretty half-baked too. Almost all of my problems are with EKS specifically, and if we compare ECS to GKE, I think the argument is even less strong.

Indeed. The author could have spent 15 minutes setting up Tailscale [0] and not expose any listening administration ports to the Internet at all. If they wanted to avoid using a hosted service, Wireguard alone is incredibly defensive against attackers who do not have access to the secret material.

>Many many fewer Chinese have immunity from having had the virus than Brits

Exactly, quick, strict lockdowns at first puts off the infections to come later when you return a largely non-immune population to business as usual. Zero-COVID should not be the aim, but only to spread out the load on hospitals and emergency care facilities. You want your vulnerable population to get vaccinated, and the less vulnerable who become infected no matter what, build your immune base.
