The Tesla clearly crosses double yellow lines into the center no-driving buffer zone at 8:05, continues through that into the opposite lane of travel at 8:06, and nearly collides with a car going the other direction at 8:07. It ends up in back in the center turn lane at 8:09 only because the human driver intervened.

It doesn't matter whether Tesla ultimately planned to enter the center left turn lane; what matters it that it decided to cross into a no-driving lane and an opposing lane of traffic en-route to its purported destination, and the unrefuted visual evidence is that the planned trajectory violated multiple traffic laws and nearly caused the death of at least 2 people, at least 1 of whom did not consent to being Elon Musk's guinea pig.

Ah, thanks. I searched the article for ship, boat, sea, water, thinking I must have missed something, but not 'port'.

I live in a Nordic country which I semi-jokingly call a “anthropophobic” country. People simply don’t want to deal with each other. Whenever you need to do anything that is predicted by the system and happens by the book, it is an extremely pleasant and comfortable experience. The moment you “fall in the cracks” and needs to somehow have a custom solution to something, it becomes hell. And all that simply because you will actually need to talk to someone to solve your problem, and people simply don’t want to talk to you, period. When you call someone, you have to actually get them to answer the phone in the first place (in the 30 min per week that they have allocated for phone calls, if you get through the 20+ queue before the 30 min are up). Then, after a cold greeting, you explain your problem and immediately feel like you are (a) stupid because you had to ask a question and couldn’t solve your problem silently by yourself, and/or (b) a nuisance because you have to bother another human being and put them through the extremely unpleasant experience of having to talk to another human. Then, they will forward you to someone else, you go through the whole ordeal again (because the next person doesn’t know your problem and nobody explained it to them), they will forward you again, until after the 3rd or 4th jump you are back to the first attendant. The whole system is designed to wear you out in the hopes that you’ll give up, which most people do (nordic people are averse to conflicts), but if you are resilient enough you’ll eventually find someone to actually help you. And don’t even think about getting angry; in the nordic countries getting angry and making a scene is extremely looked down, and if you do, you are immediately wrong and they won. No problem solving for you.

The reason I told the anecdote is that I think the main point of the article was the last one: a bit of trust can go a long way.

It seems to me that people advocating for stuff like DAOs and “code is law” believe so strongly that the human is the broken link in the system (which it probably is) that they want to take the human out of the loop completely. They are “anthropophobes”: they want to find a way to make deals and business without having to deal with the fellow humans. Obviously, it fails miserably. You always need to deal with humans; if it’s not the person/company administrating a service, it’s the hacker who is asking for ransom or the judge who will decide about your case when you sue the DAO or whoever else. We should invest more in people and their communication instead of trying to replace them with blockchains and algorithmic contracts, IMHO.
You're right. (Didn't notice your reply before updating my comment.)
Sure, but unless your family is growing rapidly, it shouldn't be something you have to do very often.
Ugh, same.

Edit: I just followed the link from the other comment about contacting support…

> To get phone, chat, or email support for your legacy free account at [mydomain.com], you need to upgrade to Google Workspace

So I can’t contact them until the “upgrade” takes effect, and I get charged for it?!
That's the thing though... it doesn't need to be free, it can have some cost - just not $6 per user per month. That's difficult to justify for fun/vanity/family email addresses.

$6 monthly with unlimited (or some high number) of family member users would be fine.

Any cost at all will limit spammers.
Haven’t downloaded this release yet, but as a longtime user of Inkscape the ability to add and manage pages sounds like an amazing addition to the application. Previously, I would approximate managing multiple pages by hiding and showing layers, then exporting each page manually. Needless to say, I am excited to leave that workflow behind!

> It's probably easier to just cut off outgoing payments to Starlink anyway.

Cryptocurrencies might be a problem in this plan, and satellite internet access itself might become a currency (since unlike cryptocurrencies, this one both has almost an intrinsic value and provides its own infrastructure that's very hard to block, where as cryptos rely on external sources of Internet access).

It also depends - drugs have consistently won the war on drugs despite being a physical product that needs a local supply chain and various anti-money-laundering and banking/finance regulations that should make it hard to fund the operation. Satellite internet access is likely to be even easier as it doesn't rely on a physical product (if we reach this stage there's going to be clandestine satellite terminals built locally, so blocking shipments of the real thing isn't going to cut it).

The only solution, apart from North Korea-levels of isolation (and even then, NK has the advantage of their population being isolated & indoctrinated since birth, something most other countries won't achieve even if they turned authoritarian overnight) would be detection followed by harsh punishment, but this has the downside of not only wasting the disclosure of detection capabilities (that are useful to the military) but also outsourcing the R&D of evading such capabilities into the open which enemies will no doubt pick up on too and use against you in a conflict.

Am I reading the right? A Texan[1] who writes 2,500 censored comments a day, for example, has an earning potential of $9.1M/yr through litigation? Sounds like a gold mine.

It puts Reddit in a difficult position. The vast majority of moderation is done by volunteer moderators. Those moderators now represent a legal/financial liability to the platform if some of their moderating actions are deemed illegal.

FTA: “It’s still possible for there to be half-complete writes, but at that point it is up to the applications to handle such edge cases correctly“

The point of the article is that, after a restore from a backup that used a snapshot, whatever ends up on disk, it’s something that the application’s developers could have planned for.

On the other hand, if the backup didn’t use a snapshot, the application may be given something that those writing the application couldn’t have foreseen.

I guess not many applications will handle either case perfectly or even decently (who even tests for the related issue of disk full errors on save nowadays?), but databases should.

I also would expect/hope lots of embedded software with a file system to handle this well, not because they get restored from faulty backups much, but because they have to be able to recover from unexpected reboots.

> I doubt that the court decision means that if you give someone a Debian DVD-ROM at a party (let's pretend for a second people still do that) you are now obliged to do additional things for them by a contract.

Civil law is meaningless without a willingness to engage in litigation; you aren't obliged to do additional things because nobody would spend money that way. As a result, I think this example muddies the waters rather than clarifying anything.
You're going to have decently sized error bars from a n=100 sample but it doesn't matter if it was 10% of a population of 1000 or 0.001% of a population of 10000000, the quality of the estimate is just as good.

I don't think that was the point they were making.

If you watch videos of drunk non-Tesla drivers you get the impression manual driving is unsafe.

> They are concentrating authority

Honestly, not by much. There are maybe half a dozen major CAs that make up the vast majority (95%+) of certificate issuance, and that number has been shrinking as poorly run CAs have been shut down (like GeoTrust) and other CAs have gone through cycles of acquisition (like Verisign/Symantec/DigiCert).

Besides, a lot of the market share which Let's Encrypt has acquired has been by expanding the market, rather than taking it from other players. Ten years ago, less than 25% of web traffic was encrypted; now, 80-90% of it is, and a lot of that growth has been through increased availability of free or low-cost certificates.

I'm sure you mean to sound scary with the word "eugenics" but this word is also the root cause of outlawing incest. Do you think we should legalize incest? I'd assume not, and that's quite literally a eugenics law, so no it was not 100 years ago that society agreed that eugenics in some forms was a good idea. It's very much alive today and the vast majority of people would argue that's a good thing.

Of course, since I feel you've already tried to demonize my position I guess I'll go ahead and restate again that I don't know of a humane way to implement eugenics such that we end up with more children from wealthy families. So if you want to take a stab at understanding me in a more charitable light, you can take that to me all the scary ways you can think of incentivizing such behavior are things I would be against.

I just learned of your site through this post, it looks useful (and not just for SEO spam), thank you.

Some feedback: some initial searches did not find blogs that were of interest. When browsing I noticed the tags.
I wish there was a page of tags that I could browse. If there is, I could not find it.

Also many of the site titles do not provide useful information on their topics and are untagged. If you could auto generate some tags, perhaps based on word frequency in post titles (with some stopwords no doubt), that would improve the browsing experience, at least for me.
Something like [0] would basically cover your PoE adapter needs for this, right? Remember that these SBC's also don't directly cover using 120V AC mains power as an option; they rely on a wall wart for that.

The trade-off to the gain in mechanical flexibility of having a very small size is that you have to put the big (in miniature electronics terms) inductors elsewhere.

no, but the currency belonging to a particular gov't is as stable as the gov't itself, so your statement is still true; vis a vis the Zimbabwe currency vs the US dollar.

I think you’re probably referring to how redefining a struct breaks Revise.jl and you have to restart the REPL? There are some other rough edges but IME this is the most noticeable

You can use Pluto.jl for this kind of rapid prototyping where you might want to change your structs a lot. It works pretty well with Revise, so when you get things the way you like it can move that struct definition out into your package code.

The other common suggestion is to prototype with NamedTuples instead of structs
> Crypto that loses its value has no other underlying utility over and above the output of /dev/random. That's a MASSIVE difference and more clearly demarcates BTC as a money laundering/Ponzi scheme rather than "digital gold" or a viable currency.

Its a decentralised currency, its not backed up by a country and their nuclear arsenal rammed down people's throats as we will possibly be seeing with Ukraine.

Notes/currency only has value where the threat of violence extends to prevent any counterfeiting attempts, so just like you see matches or cigarettes used as currency in a prison, it still has value. Its value went up when the Greeks had their financial crisis because the Greek banks stopped money leaving the country and this is the important thing, crypto is the thing that helps people move money out of a country fast across borders in a crisis. If you tried to move gold in or out of Switzerland you'll get stopped at the border, they are hot on that sort of stuff but it also shows their level of intelligence in world affairs. Crypto if done properly has a level of privacy affordable to anyone, not just the super rich but also a level of transparency to maintain its integrity from counterfeiting by criminals or the central bank.
Let's suppose that I have a home network, from which I make certain things available to the Internet. Those have public DNS records and appropriate ports are passed through the firewall.

I also have a bunch of machines that I like to have names for, but I don't want the Internet as a whole to enumerate them. Why? Because I like my privacy.

So I run my DNS in a split-horizon mode: everyone sees www and mail and blog, but only IPs inside my house get to see the A, AAAA and CNAME records for spike and splorch and sporty, den-tv and lr-tv, music and video.

But then Firefox and Chrome enable DoH. I can provide DoH, no problem, though I prefer DoTLS. The problem is that they don't ask my local DNS servers via DoH, they ask 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 or such. And those servers, nice as they are, aren't allowed to see the record for den-tv.

So I tell my DNS server to return an error for use-application-dns.net, and everything continues to work.

Meanwhile, my friend comes over and sits in my living room, using my wifi, but my friend is paranoid. They don't trust me at all. So they use a VPN back home. Oh, sorry: they trust me enough to be their next hop, but not enough to use my DNS. So they tell their browser affirmatively that it should use DoH to somebody off in The Cloud That Is Certainly Trustworthy, and that works too.

An additional (and more important) constraint to being on Linux and creating a single file is that this assumes you are the one creating the file, which is oftentimes not the case. e.g. in my rust ffmpeg wrapper, I have pipelines that invoke ffmpeg and through it create multiple intermediate files that need to be cleaned up at the end of the run in all cases (success and failure).
From the article, El Salvador has been cut off from financial markets by two of the ratings agencies that played a pivotal role in the corruption that caused the 2008 GFC to happen. Their reason for cutting El Salvador off is because their debt to GDP is approaching 87% (a fraction of what other countries have run up, especially due to COVID).

The IMF (International Monetary Fund) which typically steps in to offer predatory financing terms, already outlined their demands: drop Bitcoin support.

So El Salvador really must have gone all into Bitcoin, right? Yes, somewhere between 25million to 73million dollars worth (in contrast to their 800million dollar bond or the ~6billion dollars they raise in taxes each year [1]).

Oh the horror. There is definitely no geopolitical maneuverings here. /s

I understand, but forwarding in my experience is brittle and rife with it's own problems.

The point of paying an email service is to make me not have to worry about it anymore. Gmail is free, and Workspace is $6 per user, Fastmail is $5 per user, etc.

If I'm anywhere near $20 monthly, I'd rather pay it to someone to have proper email and no "hacks". I just think it's absurd there is no "family & personal" option for any of these services... particularly Google where they could hoover up everyone's inbox like they already do in Gmail, plus make a few bucks monthly for the privilege of allowing me to use my own domain name.

That's literally all everyone wants here... GMail + Custom Domain Name. Google One should have this an a paid option and support X number of other users you can invite (family members with their own Gmail accounts). Families don't need retention policies, GDPR accreditation, etc.

I worked in a restaurant. Came in with a strong work etic and attitude. I had something to prove to myself, nevermind the money. Busser to manager in five months (not a brag really, just takes honesty and hard work).

>Basically creates a strong incentive for HQ to run things hyper lean and rely on this as a backstop routinely

This is EXACTLY how it works. I got paid ~35% more than anyone "below" me. I wound up learning to do jobs when we were slammed and that person didn't show up. For 6 months we were low two dishwashers, so I'd do all my manager stuff then stay till 3 cleaning dishes.

At face value this, to me, only suggests that welfare is already so high that anything further is suffering from diminishing returns. To me, that wouldn't imply there are no policies (social or legal) that would encourage wealthy families to have more children.

In the non-blockchain space this is called "credit creation" and it absolutely is something that happens there.

But this doesn't happen with Bitcoin.

It's true that there are a number of DeFi apps that will loan BTC.

However if you look at the loan mechanism it is different to how it is done in traditional finance.

A BTC loan is done in one of two ways:

1) The original owner of the BTC is given an IOU in the form of a different token (lets call it "Wrapped BTC" or wBTC) and the original BTC token is given to the person taking the loan, OR

2) The person taking the loan is given another token ("wBTC"). This is more common.

In both these cases no new BTC is actually created. It's possible to create more of this other token though. In the specific case of wBTC[1] they say it is 1:1 backed with BTC, but other tokens might not have the same backing.

I don't have a strong opinion on the utility of BTC, but I think it is worth being accurate in our discussion.
