Let’s be real here: nobody pays sticker prices for GCP. The only reason big customers use it is the deep discount Google gave.

Now this price hikes signals us two things: Alphabet is tired of losing money on GCP or they are looking to drive customers away so they can shut it down (it’s not like a free chat app they can just stop supporting, sunsetting GCP will have to take a little longer).
It's really happening everywhere, the office district in SF is filled with crime. I really felt bad (pre-covid) for twitter employees, for example. It was the same with downtown Chicago (the loop) where I couldn't stay late at work because it would get dangerous to walk late at night there.
When Andre is caught stealing, put him on house arrest in his apartment, allow him work release with training and education for an appropriate job, when he violates the conditions of his gentler conditions, send him to jail for a while.

Remove people from society who steal instead of contribute, give them the opportunity and tools to rejoin productively repeatedly until they can.
Exactly. My interests on bonding vanished the day I finally got 1GB at home. I keep a second 100MB connection with another provider for failover only, that I can handle without any external service.
There are indeed significant differences.

The main one is that Sass is, basically, a "code generator". It's a sort of template language that generates CSS code. And so, a "Sass-if" works at code generation time, that is, when you execute the Sass command:

sass-if (some logical condition) {
<some CSS code>
} else {
<some other CSS code>
}

Depending on the condition and at compile time, sass would spit out the first block of code or the second. The condition is, basically, a calculated expression that applies to values and variables available at compile time.

Then -after deployment and when a client visits your website- that CSS code is served to the client. Clients are varied and so CSS wants to have its own if structure that applies at runtime. The conditions generally would check the current runtime conditions (i.e. is this running on a large screen? is this browser in vertical orientation? etc)

css-if (some condition pertaining this specific current browser) {
<some CSS code>
} else {
<some other CSS code>
}

So, yes, they are clearly and necessarily different, both in scope and usage. And so you'd generally need both if because they do different things. And that where the problem arises, because if you want to have both, their syntaxes need to be distinguishable.
I call it lose-lose.
What matters is not the number of doctors but the number of doctors per capita.

India has both low number of doctors per capita, and low supply for educating doctors.
Arguing that opponents to removal "can just step up as maintainers" are completely bogus. As mentioned elsewhere, this is more about eroding trust in stdlib as a stable baseline. This is just the kind of thing that will teach people to not trust Python as a stable foundation.

Also. If maintenance of aging modules becomes tiresome, maybe it is a strong hint to keep backwards compatibility in Python proper.
I haven’t looked at any metrics but based on using ARKit applications (and various VIO SLAM implementations) it can but it depends highly on the scene, camera motion, and whether there is LIDAR/Stereo Depth.

Kinda ironic how, when it comes to operating systems, it's the Free ones that don't have ads.

(Yeah, I know that's not entirely true. Still, I find it kinda hilarious that I might have to switch from a paid operating system to a free one in order to get away from ads.)

My favourite is when you open the Galaxy Store on a flagship Samsung phone and a popup with a promoted game is shoved in your face every single time.

The popup will often have a 3 second delay before it interrupts you due to the performance issues of their ad servers, so you open the app store and just wait there for the inevitable popup to appear before you can dismiss it to continue using the app.

The "Get news and special offers" option is disabled in the app, but none of that matters, the popup ads at app start are there on all Samsung Galaxy devices I've tested.
ssh+vim+tmux actually unlocked my iPad as a coding tool, which is incredible. I can go on a bike ride, stop in the park, get a bit of work done with some tea in a thermos, and then bike back home.
The point of housing isn't to "solve" every single problem caused by homelessness or indigence. It's to give people housing, because it's the humane thing to do.

It sounds like Andre's problem isn't homelessness (he's housed, per the article), but that he's a petty thief with no other real prospects or skills. Those aren't problems that housing can solve, but housing does eliminate some of the barriers in the way of those problems (such as Andre being robbed while sleeping on the street).

Not steep enough.
Maybe. We'll see how this shakes out.

One point I was trying to make was Russia's actions have galvanized support in the opposite direction Putin wanted.

I don't know why what I contributed is worth downvotes. I provided sources showing a difference in EU support compared to NATO support to parent comment and gave reasonable arguments that even a majority in mid 50s of support does not mean the opposition is -100*-1 it's usually way less.
Arguably our genetic engineering of grain crops that we grow in large monocultures contributed directly to the current ecological crisis. Because right after putting too much carbon in the atmosphere, the next threat to the biosphere's stability is habitat loss to farm land and urban expansion.

And one could take that argument a step further, by saying that instead of being forced to learn how to stabilize our population growth at a level the planet could support, these bio-engineering advances enabled our population to continue to grow at an unsustainable rate until it is now, potentially, beyond the carrying capacity of the planet. Meaning they may well have saved millions from starvation at the time - but could now contribute to the deaths of billions, the extinction of millions of species, and the collapse of the overall biosphere.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm open to engineering (both through traditional breeding and through modern genetic methods) as a part of the solution. But this writing off of concerns about it by pointing to past successes is absurd. We're talking about an extremely complex systems problem - the fact that our eagerness to grow our own numbers and control our environment has now caused us to push our planet's ecosystems to the brink of collapse - and that means we need to be extremely careful about how we go about solving it.

And the safest solution is to rollback - not try to roll forward. Yes, it happens to be the one that has the highest cost for us in terms of changes to our way of life, but arguably it could lead to a much better (saner, healthier) way of life.

But it also means a lot of people with power need to give up that power. And a lot of people who want the freedom to move fast and break shit with out having to think through the consequences will be forced to slow down and consider those consequences before they get to break shit.

The same is true for every story posted here. Please stop trying to deflate the failures of Seattle politicians and activists by attempting to humanise the story past a reasonable point.

Interesting. So something like "download .mobi or .azw3 files" would fit your requirement?
> these are in-ecosystem ads (so they all come from MS).

For now.

I think it's incredibly naive to believe it would stay that way. Or maybe I'm just cynical.

EDIT: Considering the fact that the Start menu displays ads for 3rd party software, nah, I think it's naive to assume the ads in Explorer would always come from MS.
Or if you've ever worked in tech, or interacted with any sales teams. My wife is looking to make a career change and I told her work in low level tech because it literally doesn't matter what you know. Nobody will know what you don't know.
The article did not explain how the device was used for cheating. I'm ready to assume that was his intent, but in what matter would it have been employed? Was he receiving answers from a third party? That seems easy to spot: just look for the guy who is reading the questions out loud.

Probably they should just have people go through a metal detector before the test, to identify all these hidden devices.

I wish the movement had approached this differently. We need a professional, competent police force. The problems with police are largely about a lack of professionalism and consistently applied professional standards. Professional police do a better job. They act consistently (a big part of what "professional" means) and that builds trust which makes them capable of operating in these communities they are consistently failing. The police force keeps growing because we DO need them to do their job, and they keep getting worse at their jobs, so we keep adding more of them.

I really like the Peelian Principles [1], I wish that sort of thinking was also part of the conversation.

As a counterpoint, I grew up in the Kirkland/Bellevue area and find the whole area incredibly bland. Way less personality, and even though I'm in my late 30s and don't "go out" much anymore, would 100x prefer a night out in one of Seattle's neighborhoods to one on the Eastside. Or even a lunch break in Downtown Seattle to one in Bellevue for when I'm in the office.

To make sure I'm being perfectly clear here though: to each their own! I prefer Seattle, but totally get why someone might prefer Bellevue too.

I haven't formulated a policy, nor would I be very good at it if I tried. You're absolutely right, homelessness _is_ complex, that's sort of what I was getting at, though I could've phrased it much better.

I think the viewpoint I find frustrating is that if we could "just" solve the housing affordability issue, that everything else would fall into place. There are places with very affordable housing with lots of homeless people. There are places with very expensive housing and almost no homeless people. The issue is multi-faceted and complex, but I personally think it's better to start by looking at the social factors than it is the strict economics.
I can confirm that vanced had Google/YT eyes on it for many years now, or at least that someone I know on the Ad abuse team at Google was talking about them finding ways to stop vanced for years now.
> Our trees accumulate metals from the soil, making their wood less digestible to fungi

Given that fungi play a crucial role in decomposition and also water/nutrient exchange between living plants, do you think there are any major risks from second order effects? Particularly if these plants become well established and dominate a local ecosystem?

And as a follow up question, does the increase in metallic content pose any extra risks when burning in a forest fire? Perhaps through emissions or thermodynamic effects.

Very interesting idea, good luck and thank you for the thoughtful commentary here.
I'm sorry, were you expecting to find solid answers to those questions by searching on Google?

I'd suggest switching to Linux but I suspect the most common response will be a Lemongrab-esque "UNACCEPTABLE."
Inequality didn't cause this. Inequality didn't suddenly spring up mid-2020. Defund the police did. Our prosecutors openly saying they wouldn't prosecute all but the most serious crimes did. Our police force shrinking did. And police deciding it was better to turn a blind eye to crime than risk going viral did.

People blaming this on all their favorite pre-existing issues (racism, evil police, inequality, etc.) means the issues will not be fixed and things will get worse before they get better. Seattleites as a people just aren't serious enough to fix the issues.

It took Seattle a few decades to make downtown a welcoming and safe place again after the bad ol' days. And then we undid it in 24 months. It's madness.
Permaculture techniques like no-dig cultivation, perennial plants, and frequent mulching can reduce the amount of labor needed to yield valuable and nutritionally dense produce greatly.

Everyone with a yard with trees that need occasional pruning and a 4'x4' space for a compost pile can buy a ~$120 electric chipper and make their own composted mulch and replace the majority of soil amendments the home gardener uses.

> Does Andre get out of prison? What then?

He either accepts the help again (housing, food, job, education, etc) and actually makes something of himself, or he commits more crimes and goes back to prison. Seems like a fairly straightforward deal to me.

No, sorry, 'income and wealth inequality' is not the major driver of the west coast's skyrocketing crime & grime. (I do think these inequalities' growing natures are problems.) The major driver is a population whose beliefs and guilts cause them to choose politicians and policies that act as magnets for addicts, and a refusal to take crime seriously, much less be tough on it.

Sane, good people who cannot afford to be in $WestCoastCity do not move into a tent and acquire meth habits. They move away, somewhere they can afford. I know, I’ve lived with these people, I’ve been these people. Sane-but-not-well-off people leaving is probably harmful for $WestCoastCity's culture and economy, but it is not where the blight comes from.

It’s drugs (see: San Fransicko) and crime-tolerant laws & attitudes.
Wasabi [1] is admittedly up to 80% cheaper than S3. But it forces you to keep your files for 90 days at least. I saw it recommended several times as a cheaper alternative to S3-backed storage for OwnCloud.

You've missed the whole point of the article, which is to propose decentralising moderation so that communities can abide by whatever rules they want on their own terms. In other words, if you don't like the rules that the Matrix.org server happens to apply, you can go somewhere else and apply whatever rules you want.
It seems to be a very west cost thing (live in Vancouver and its the same) - I cannot speak for south of the border but other provinces send their homeless here & they seek out Vancouver not just for the social programs because it is the most mild winter in the country. the homeless problem here isn't so much "Vancouvers" as "Canadas"
Homeless people prefer Seattle. After they are arrested for violent crimes, Seattle releases them back to being free within ~3 hours. The homeless love Seattle. Just measure by listening and counting to how many gunshots you hear.

Hello there! Thank you all for discussing my article in such great detail, I'm glad to have sparked healthy discussion around mobile linux. That being said, I'm aware that I represent a minority of mobile linux users, as can be seen by the community poll on Pine64's blog [1], and that is one of many reasons I decided to publish my ideas. I've added a few things to my website, like images to my first post and a todo list page so that you can see what i'm working on and give feedback. Thanks for your support.

Oh, and if you have any questions at all, feel free to ask below or contact me through any means listed on my website. (email: hamblingreen@hotmail.com)
Assuming the student implanted the device in their own ear, they did learn enough to be dangerous. They'll show up as a transhumanist influencer at best and a back alley surgeon at worst.

My home _absolutely_ cuts it. All my data is stored locally in Raid 1 and backed up once a day, immutably, to a remote location. I trust my setup far more than I'll ever trust Google Cloud, or whatever else.
As someone who has simple Python code for a CGI service that runs a couple of time a day (Golang vanity URL thing), that's disappointing. Maybe I'll rewrite it in Go to improve performance even more.
Right now is like the 1980's electronics, make it out of the cheapest possible parts and when it fails, they'll buy a new one! And then competitors spend one cent more on resistors, and their devices last longer and people buy those. Stupid companies haven't caught on to this. The ones that do are having a great time getting quality resources
> This doesn't explain vandalism, joyriding, or kleptomania.

These are pretty minor crimes lol I'll be really happy if we get to a point where we have to worry about these things.

> But have you considered that some people realize theft is an easier alternative to being gainfully employed?

I mean, yes, I've considered it. I dismissed it because it's sort of idiotic. Is it better than working a job with no healthcare, benefits, a minimum wage, and the chance to be fired at any time with no safety nets? Sure, yeah. We should fix that.

> why can't you recognize that crime is lucrative and a preferable alternative for these people?

We both agree that crime is preferable for some people. We just disagree about why.

> Their conscience doesn't bother them like it would for you and I.

Years of living in an abusive society, learning that crime is a survival mechanism, etc, will naturally do that to anyone.

Basically all hydrogen comes from fossil fuels. It's just natural gas with extra steps.

Right, but they're general police (eg, they also handle non-traffic enforcement such as drugs), right?

I believe GP's point was not about "specific enforcement of traffic laws by police" but "law enforcement agencies who are specifically charged with traffic".

In a roundabout way: surgically implanting electronics arguably qualifies the perpetrator.

Though, I suppose if this was a test of their skill in cosmetic surgery, then detection certainly would count as a failure.
It's terrible. The original reason Apple dropped this feature was because there wasn't an external bus that could push that many pixels. But Thunderbolt can do it now. This reuse would be more meaningful than preconsumer recycling of aluminum.

I think what you are thinking about is "Gemtext" which is a restricted thing very similar to markdown: https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/gemtext.gmi

In my mind Gemini is like HTTP, and Gemtext is like HTML - closely linked yes, but you can view more with Gemini/HTTP than just Gemtext/HTML.

I am not sure on the value of using Gemtext vs e.g. Markdown for what it is worth - Gemtext has been simplified for the purposes of minimal implementation headaches for client authors and consistency. If you are just writing your stuff for yourself, just pick a Markdown flavour and use that.

I think the part that many people find frustrating is that Andre is still _choosing_ a life of crime, despite being given the incredible gift of a free place to live, when it's unarguable that both under the table and formal employment is bountifully available in a place like Seattle.
