UK? The SNP constantly champions for Scottish independence, plenty of people agree, plenty disagree, I don't recall any suggestion from either side it's illegal. There are also independence movements of varying sizes in Wales, Cornwall, "The North", and London.

The Texas Nationalist Movement may be funded and driven by Russia, but I don't believe Daniel Miller has been arrested or indeed broken any laws.

Corsican nationalists likewise seem fine. Corsica Libera for example got 8 seats in the 2021 regional elections in France

The general view of the world is that people have a right to self determination. Some governments trample on that - Spain and Argentina for example do not like the right to self-determination, but the UN GA agrees it's a universal right.

Can you submit a bug report on our GitHub page? I’ll gladly take a look at this later.
The comment I replied to was specifically about Linux on the desktop, not Linux in general. I didn't claim Android etc wouldn't exist without Linux. Linux on the desktop is just irrelevant to commercial desktop OSes. Microsoft, Apple, and Google don't care one iota about the latest updates to GNOME or KDE.

Third parties don't care about the Linux desktop either. If Linux is even considered it's a distant third place. If Electron dropped Linux support tomorrow a good number of applications would drop Linux support the next day.

Even the likes of Valve supporting Linux is more of a hedge against Microsoft than anything compelling about desktop environments on Linux.
Does your Photos app know who is in the photo you took? Open the image in that app and see if it has identified the people in the photo.
Wouldn't simply building more charging stations work?

Other angle is to increase charging speeds. Of course this might require better batteries, but I'm sure they're improving.
I'm not terribly knowledgeable about Spain's "democratic legal framework" so maybe you can instead point me to what laws he's breaking?

Is it possible as well that you have a different understanding of that "legal framework" than the prosecution/government/courts of Spain has? Since again, he doesn't seem to be wanted nor arrested for anything.

Wasn't the Catalan politicians also jailed for "misuse of public funds" rather than "inciting against territorial integrity" just because opinions about independence is not illegal in Spain? Or maybe I have that wrong. In that case, it seems Jordi in this case cannot be held responsible for that since he doesn't manage any public funds.
I also imagine that with C++17 or higher tooling, alongside something like CINT, it starts to feel quite productive.
(Finland) Within the last year I've gotten two "ms support" scam calls, before that nothing.

Hopefully the authorities and carriers can figure it out before it grows to US levels. At least they are working on it (English article from Dec 2021: https://www.traficom.fi/en/news/traficom-looks-ways-block-in..., latest Finnish technical recommendation PDF on call blocking from Feb 2022: https://www.traficom.fi/sites/default/files/media/regulation...).
+1, I have the same setup and Google is doing a great job saving me a bunch of annoyance. Oh and Google's call screening service is god sent. I usually make all unknown numbers go through screening before answering.
Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair are absolutely mainstream, by any standard, and are also not solely "entertainment industry" publications.

> You’ve been able to call and schedule a cab

In some places, e.g. SF, scheduled cabs mostly didn't show (at least pre-uber). They'd send a driver, but the driver would just pick up the first person they found on the street-- A fare in the seat is better than a fare on the street.

I didn't have that experience in the DC area or NYC, so I know it wasn't universal... but in some places uber really was a massive upgrade in terms of transport reliability even though uber drivers do cancel at a disappointingly high rate too.

[DC had it's own issues-- I never had many problems with them beyond them being thoroughly ignorant about the local roads an geography, but my partner frequently got sexist insults from the driver, refusals to take her directions, etc.]
Are there plenty compared with to volume of spam? I have been using this service for a while, and check up on what its doing, and so far everything its filtered has been an unwanted call.
It's happening in the West right now!
My father has some niche research interests and did a lot of primary research. Soccer clubs, dead kingdoms, a painter from the midwest. As a kid I spent hours in the library with my dad looking at microfiche. He essentially had to - for many of these things, make websites so he could quote the website on wikipedia. He's actually gotten quite adept at creating a digital papertrail for some of these interests.

Digitizing with OCR is nice - but someone still needs to write the story. Piece together the different news clippings.

In one case - it was a soccer team - Bethlehem Steel, which one of my great great something or others played for. They won a bunch of championships, there's a whole story, but nobody had really compiled it into a usable work. When Bethlehem Steel the name got resurrected as a feeder club for the Phila Union, they called HIM for the info - It was kind of fun watching my dad go onto an AM radio broadcast!

Another, he's currently interested in is a fairly important but not well known artist who did a lot of work in the midwest from the area we are from. He is currently writing up the story, interviewing family, etc. I guess he'll have to publish a news story in order for it to be real!

Looking at that artist's wikipedia page though - it does appear that most of his citations are directly to news clippings... like

> Adding a new transfer rate seems like a reasonable place to bump the minor version number of a protocol. After reading all of that I'm even more convinced that it should have just been USB 3.2.

I'm not sure you read any of that. I mean, they bumped the standard version to 3.1 from 3.0 after adding a new transfer rate.

Also, USB 3.2 was bumped up from 3.1 after adding two new data transfer modes.

I also add that the naming scheme is quite obvious once you start to think about it.

* USB 3.0 only supports the one SuperSpeed data transfer mode.

* USB3.1 was released, and it specifies two distinct data transfer modes: the legacy Gen1 mode and the novel Gen2 mode.

* USB3.2 is released, and it supports four transfer modes: the legacy Gen1 and Gen2 modes from USB3.1, and two new SuperSpeed+ modes which are 2x and 4x faster than Gen2.

I have for sure missed important emails and calls because of spam.

I have started just leaving most things unread because I just can't deal with it anymore.

If I look at my phone I have 420 unread texts and 152k emails. Even my work email has been largely spam and is sitting at over 7k unread emails.

Every once in a while I go in and I try to finally wrangle it all together, setup filters. mark stuff as spam. Etc etc. But the number of "are you still considering x" emails after I never gave them my email, or other spam. It is just ridiculous.
I agree that there is a line of succession, but those people "in line" are not directly elected representative. I know I'm being facetious, but my point is that the population have chosen their president, not the rest of the line. The VP becoming the Acting President is akin to a PM in parliamentary government.
All gripes I don’t have, and my m1 max is a kickass laptop, expensive but you get what you pay for. And I have quality. Reliable, clean and fast, both on the software and hardware side.
CEOs, executives, members of parliaments, journalists, researchers at industrial labs, those working in defense/military, etc are at elevated risk of being hacked by governments and hacking companies such as NSO.

I wonder how these people protect their digital assets?
Are there guidelines?

For example, if I am Microsoft CEO, would it be okay if I use the closed source iPhone from a competing company? Or perhaps these people use special hardened devices?

Because even Apple CEO uses iPhone, and Pegasus apparently could hack any iPhone with zero click. So what prevents acquisition of highly valuable inside information by NSO or its customers (sensitive data about the company, iOS source code, implanting malware by infecting Apple engineers for the next exploit, etc)?
Lol why would I attempt a "conversation" with someone like this

> “humans have had a visceral reaction to the killing of women and children specifically in war, across millennia and across cultures, but surely such thinking is obsolete in our generation.”

This sounds pretty much right at least as far as men vs women, though. If you truly want equal rights then that should come with equal privileges. Historically or evolutionarily, women were valued more in such a situation because they make babies - now, so what, we're clearly not running out of babies if you look at population trends. Either everyone fit to serve should have to stay or nobody should have to stay, not based on the circumstances of their birth.

I'm not American as well, and I receive lots of spam calls (average of a couple per day I'd say).

I now have developed a "feeling" on whether or not I have to pick up the call, based on if I'm expecting a call, country code, similarities with previous spam phone numbers, etc... It's really annoying.
The 7-zip package in most Linux/BSD/POSIX distro repositories is still at 16.02 and I will be surprised if it changes.

The CNAM field in phone systems is a lot like the “from” field in an SMTP message, and the “source ip” in a IP packet. The sender can just set it to whatever they want.
I'm aware of some fighting games in Unity. These are real-time games but by convention they derive game states from sequences of input states from the players and use time travel to amend entire estimated game states (rather than e.g. estimated positions of individual objects). These games still face some unnecessary trouble imposed by Unity: it's not possible to handle all inputs and networking on a thread that's entirely separate from the thread that does rendering.
My post very deliberately meant to disagree with that. Hanging up is mutually exclusive with leaving a message. Important to you is unfortunately not the same as important to the caller. A car mechanic or doctor's office might make very little effort to contact you another way, and might wait hours or a day before even attempting to do so. And we have delivery drivers known for giving up on delivering your stuff even in ideal circumstances.
My golden policy is anything I do on a digital device is public.

Obviously there's sometimes you have to break that rule, but I find it takes a lot of stress out of privacy issues for me.

Most of those calls originate in India. How do they deal with international calls?

“Murder” is a curious choice of analogy, too. Seems to me this thread is very firmly subject to Godwin’s Law.

> When have you ever seen Stallman be pragmatic instead of idealist

Pragmatism vs idealism isn’t the point. My question was why would you expect someone you haven’t met to be an asshole, if you didn’t already think they were an asshole?
That's not what happened.
I think if you're in this position (which I am at 41), you've mostly used your prime brain time well. Turning high-effort, high-value brain pathways and operations into basically no-ops is the point.
My own political stances from back when I was 16 make me think that this may not be a great idea. I was logical, but also young and inexperienced, knew no other perspectives than my own and had yet to develop some more empathy. I was even completely unaware of some significant facts about myself, which also influenced my opinions. Also, I like to believe that I'm way less prone to manipulation and peer pressure now than I was back then. My mind may have been sharper, but that's not all that matters.
I've noticed a substantial difference between the breast size of whole chickens vs the boneless chicken breasts that you see in large packs in common grocery stores. A boneless breast will sometimes have more than twice the meat as a bone-in breast.

The whole chickens I get from a local farmer look more like the "1978 model", but I've often wondered what the chickens providing those massive boneless breasts look like.
Firstly , history isn't a science. History is part of humanities.

> History, as a science, is a mixed bag of debates and consensus.

Science doesn't work via debates and consensus. It works by hypothesis and experimentation.

History is part of myth making which exists to form or preserve a tribe, institution, nation, etc.
Such a shortsighted view of the action taken!

A) if more people make a fuss about their email getting sold the way OP did, we can still salvage something out of the situation

B) results/outcomes are not the only reason people why should do things. After all, we lionize those Russians protesting the Ukraine invasion knowing nothing will come out of it at a personal level.
You have a lot of expectations of the police.
When I read things like this, I think “that’s yet another point on the ‘what has the EU done for us’ list”. A quick Google gave me https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CEL..., which says:

“The Directive 2002/58/EC on Privacy and Electronic Communications (date of transposition 31 October 2003) requires Member States to prohibit the sending of unsolicited commercial e-mail or other electronic messaging systems such as SMS and Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) unless the prior consent of the subscriber to such electronic communications services has been obtained (Article 13(1) of the Directive). This is the 'opt-in' system, which was until now only applicable to faxes and automated calling machines”

People often call out the EU as being government of the people, but not by the people, but IMO it often is more for the people than what the USA has.
Yes. The affordability issues do not seem to affect Chinese car manufacturers, who are producing EV cars that are quite economical without subsidies.

EV's may introduce new challenges for the grid, but when a country is unable or unwilling to fix that then all those batteries could also present an opportunity to balance that same grid using software.

The problem that they do not mention is that they have huge investments in engine manufacturing that are useless for EV's. EV's are much simpler technology, the only hard parts are batteries and software.

Switching too fast will make their existing manufacturing capabilities worthless, and this is what is really threatening them. That is also making EV's "expensive" to build for them (but not for Tesla, or anyone building new factories).

I think that anyone in a developed country buying an ICE car now is already throwing money out the window: a few years from now nobody will want it anymore, depreciation will be very high.
A random tip - that may or may not work - when you need to answer a phone call from an unknown number:

wait for exactly 4 seconds and then only say “hello”. Some automated call systems use this pattern to distinguish whether they are talking to another computer as a human will almost always follow up with another statement. If no other statement is made, the automated caller will hang up after another ten seconds.

I have no direct information about what/which systems might work this way. Purely anecdotal.

Hopefully, this flags your number as moon-human to reduce future spam calls.

> going to start doing per-website emails from now on to track where the hell its coming from

Beware that some websites use this "legitimately":

I ordered some stuff from Ikea and asked that it get delivered. Ikea forwarded the request to a third party, TaskRabbit. I now get TaskRabbit email spam to my ikea.com@ per-website email. And no matter how many times I unsubscribe from TaskRabbit the spam still comes.

Spam detection successful! I just put @taskrabbit.com into the blackhole and call it a day. If I get more spam to ikea.com@ then it will also get blackholed. I already won't buy anything else from Ikea for something as dumb as this.
Mass transit, like higher density living, requires a stronger, more homogeneous, polite and less individualistic culture than the US has. A major driver of the growth of the suburbs was the abandonment of the cities and immediate neighborhoods around them, mainly by catholic ethnics as their neighborhoods were de-homogenized. (Catholicism has always been more urban-friendly than the native US protestant culture.)

At root it boils down to social trust, which has been and will continue to keep falling in the US and elsewhere in the west. Despite my preferences, I expect remote work to take the place of high density living: it's just more compatible with the highly individualistic ethos we have.

I think we are both saying the same thing. And 10% difference is not negligible.
My point is that we should do everything we can to keep densification naturally happening, as it is better. This densification is not a permit to allow ourselves to pollute, consume more.
This is a mix of confirmation bias and some of the tracking they're actually doing. Audio recording/streaming/processing on this level would be extremely expensive... and they don't even need to do it to essentially end up with the same results.

They don't need audio because all they need to do is cross-reference metadata. Facebook for example: they know based on network locations and other factors if your mom spent time in the same church as your neighbor, they don't even have to utter a single word. They actually know about these types of casual relationships between people before they come up in conversation.
I'd like to see some concrete examples... but if it's truly in there -- good for them!
It has absolutely no reason to be in a math textbook.
For EV's to be commercially viable in the long term, we have to move solid state batteries. From everything I've heard they seem to be much more energy dense and don't require rare earth metals to produce. They would also increase the range on EV's to the point where "range anxiety" is just not a thing anymore.

IMO we're at the "2nd generation" of EV's, in the first gen, they were just toys, in this gen they start to make sense for certain people, by the "3rd generation" I expect solid state batteries to make EV's viable for the majority of people.
Toyota's points from the article: “If we are to make dramatic progress in electrification, it will require overcoming tremendous challenges, including refueling infrastructure, battery availability, consumer acceptance, and affordability”

None of these argue against EV cars. Instead, these issues will control the adoption rate.
Back in 2011 you could use a second iMac is a monitor in target display mode, that went away, why should the user expect not to be able to use target display mode for every iMac? Things change unfortunately and the single display restriction of M1 was advertised heavily online and can be a pain point but it's listed online as a spec.
It's a fairly secretive/competitive industry, right? And with only a few major players, people who work in the industry generally don't want to burn bridges, at least if they ever plan on working in the industry again.

So nearly all of the "insider news" is going to be anonymous and read like rumor mill gossip. Especially in the English-speaking press, where there is an extra level of cultural and linguistic indirection.

That doesn't directly explain the poor quality of writing, but my guess is that the above factors dissuade a lot of talented journalists from even attempting to cover it.

(this is all speculation, of course)
As a programmer, the number of times a project's closed-source nature has prevented me from fixing a problem I had as a user is... one. The number of times I've availed myself of the open-source code of a project to fix a problem I had as a user is... zero--and that includes the projects I was a maintainer of! Both of these numbers are dwarfed by the number of times being closed-source hasn't prevented me from fixing a problem (as it turns out that reverse-engineering a file format is often an effective solution that rarely needs source code).

So the direct utility of open-source in being able to fix your own itches is in fact extremely rare, even for people for whom programming isn't hard.

There is a better point about FLOSS creating an ecosystem of usable utilities for getting stuff done, one I have availed myself of on innumerable occasions. However, I will also point out that the Stallman stance on software has impeded this goal on several occasions, since GPL or even LGPL [1] licensing can prevent reuse of code. This leaves me wondering how necessary the FSF/GNU stuff was in bootstrapping the open-source ecosystem.

[1] LGPL requires you to link software in a particular way to avoid the license spreading to your code.
I use Brave, Adblock, DDG etc, recently booted into my Windows partition to open a Macro-enabled Excel report. Had to look something up and used the default Edge browser without blockers etc. The experience felt like a sick joke- pop-ups everywhere, hijacked scrollbars, auto-playing ad videos galore, for a single web search. I feel guilty that many unaware internet users are subject to such a degraded browsing experience.
As the sibling says, Cities Skylines definitely does a better job than its predecessors of legitimizing non-car strategies for managing transportation. However, as the player, the path of least resistance is absolutely to just do roads everywhere and bulldoze buildings and houses to widen roads (just like in the real world). I don't think CS has much/any modeling for the longer-time-horizon benefits of an active-transportation city, in terms of culture, health, pollution reduction, and so on.

So yes, it's a major step forward in terms of it being possible at all, but it's something you have to be pretty intentional about— and maybe that's reflective of the real world too. But it's always nice when media (games, books, movies, whatever) inspires us to dream bigger than we might otherwise have done.
