Not really relevant to cordless ones but I know Dyson removed their pre-motor filter on their latest corded vacuums. If the dust chamber is too full excess dust is blown through the motor and then stopped from coming out into the air by a post motor filter. This will lead to premature motor failure over time.

The Dyson 'bagless' idea is a bit of a sham. Yes they work, but they don't work that well. They don't make as much suction as their bagged competitors so they cheat and use smaller orifices to increase suction instead of by having a larger motor or alternative design. Then in order to have 'like new' performance all the time you have to continually wash (which doesn't really clean well enough) or replace filters.

Some people love them but they don't make sense to me. If I'm emptying my vacuum I'm going to empty it into a bag anyway so I may as well use a bagged vacuum that works more consistently and doesn't throw dust everywhere.
I still do not understand your point. As stated earlier, in parliamentary republics the government is never elected and while it is often made mostly by members of the winning party, it is not necessarily so (often being member of the parliament is not even required).

In the case of the EU the government is usually (always?) composed by members of the winning EU party, which are politically aligned coalitions of national parties.

But the EU is super conservative - e.g. banning gene edited crops (now available in Brexit Britain at last - https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-61537610 ), the ridiculous cookie laws and GDPR restrictions, etc.

Go live in the south of Germany and see how conservative it is - no card payments, little online delivery, a huge amount of bureaucracy, etc. And the EU forces that sort of bureaucratic conservatism on the whole of Europe, even though some countries like the UK, Sweden, Netherlands, Denmark, etc. are much more liberal and technologically progressive.

I had many thousands of machines. I needed to collect disk size, ram, software inventory, some custom config, if present. Some machines are Linux, some windows.

With prefect I created a task 'collect machine details for windows', another 'collect machine details for Linux', another 'collect software inventory'.

I have a list of machines in a database so I create a task to get them. That task is an sqlalchemy query so I can pass the task a filter.

I get a list of linux machines and pass that to a task to run.
I get a list of windows machines and pass that to a task.

Note that the above don't depend on each other.

I have a task that filters good results from bad.
I have another task that writes a list to a database.

Other tasks have credentials.

Another task puts errors to an error table, the machines that failed get filtered from the results and run into this task.

I plumb the above up with a Prefect flow and it builds a DAG that runs the flow.
Everything that can be run in parallel does so, everything that has some other input waits for the input.

Tasks that fail can be retried by Prefect automatically. Intermediate results cached. And, I get a nice gui for everything. I can even schedule it in the gui.
Fortunately, this will very likely not pass (at least as is). Germany already announced they would block it.

It’s an absolutely huge difference of degree. Attempting to censor blatant lies, with the occasional and accidental half-truth mixed in, is a completely different beast from denying historic events and censoring factual reports of things that actually happened.

You said «I don’t see any difference», and that statement at best implies that you haven’t looked at the situation closely enough.

See e.g. the mountain of Western criticism of the United States’ torture program during the war on terror. The difference is night and day.

Doesn’t the built-in tooling only really provide an advantage if you’re using the http or sni challenges?

If you want to use wildcard certs via the dns-01 challenge (in my case via rfc2136), the entire challenge runs out of band anyway, so there’s no difference in reliability. (At least in my tests so far, though support for the RFC 2136 standard in caddy and/or plugins is quite poor afaict)
I have obtained a couple of dead-battery Dyson vacuums in recent years. Aftermarket replacement batteries are available and so far, so good. The ones I installed offer somewhat increased capacity over the originals and performance is as good as I would expect. Of course aftermarket lithium ion battery packs are a crapshoot at best, so I stuck with ones that published at least plausible capacities and had a reasonable number of good/non-fake reviews. Given the price and lack of availability of OEM packs I'd say go for it.
I haven't watched any of these videos, but to get away with using a copyright poem or other content as part of a video (to be fair use) the video would need to add something enough that they would stand if they didn't include the copyright content (artistic, discussion, criticism, humour etc) - I'm guessing in this case that YouTube has decided the poems are too large a part of the videos (Probably one or more of the poem copyright holders has lodged a copyright violation against some of them) and the content creator isn't added significant value to content owned by others.

There are some reasons why no one has created an AI to generate user interfaces. One reason may be that it is difficult to create an AI that can understand the complexities of human-computer interaction. Another reason may be that creating an AI to generate user interfaces would require a lot of training data, which may be difficult to obtain. Finally, it may be that there is no clear need or demand for such a tool.

The larger picture "leak formation", by which I mean the group of organisations that has formed around the investigations and/or selected for early access by those more directly involved, is much bigger than just that "Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation". Plenty of regular news organisations with no excessive bias.

For all I know "Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation" might be a perfectly well-meaning org without any questionable agenda at all (it's the first time I hear about it), but it certainly looks like it could just as well be quite the opposite. Clearly not the most favorable way for first contact with this story.

Based in my own experience, the amount of videos uploaded at once will affect the initial number of views in a video, and the number of subscribers in the long term. Spamming the YouTube subscriptions feed with multiple videos at once is not something that many subscribers will receive good. At least in my experience as an uploader myself, I see that if I upload a video every couple days or weeks I get positive feedback, but if I upload multiple videos at once, maybe 3 or 4, I often receive negative feedback from my viewers.

Looking at his feed right now [1] I see a lot of videos uploaded 4 days ago, on 2022-05-20. I stopped counting rows after reaching 200 videos. I guess that not a lot of people would enjoy to have their feed blasted like this if it's going to cause disruption on keeping up with other subscriptions in the feed.

I always think there are at least two levels of enjoyment.

'I enjoyed that' -> mapping to the enjoyment one gets from eating junk food. It's true, but it's a lack of complexity and engagement with what you're doing or eating. I'd actually include things like beautiful views in this too. It's often characterised by being okay with blatant flaws in plot logic or coherence or plausibility.

'I enjoyed that and it made me think/engage/reflect' -> mapping to the enjoyment one gets in complexity or well-constructed crafts which is often more gradual. In this case, liking something requires active engagement and thought.

The problem is that it's easy to substitute the latter with the former (which is easier). There are only so many beautiful views one can see before the brain yearns to learn what's behind them (curiousity and our brain's requirement for novelty?). I find it similar with films. I don't think this means everything has to be 'le film artistique'. But I also don't think it's healthy to only have the first experience.
You win a war to get a stable Chechen political regime that sort-of works and turn a warzone into a reasonably peaceful region.

The most common example I've seen at companies is when higher ups portray everything as a positive, even when a project isn't going well. Some execs have a tendency to cheerlead, rather than to be realistic.

In some cases this can amount to gaslighting, as people will be left wondering whether they're being too negative due to their own flaws.

It's important to be intellectually stimulated. Feeling good is not enough. The same way drugs trigger pleasure in our brain but we can't accept a society where the majority is constantly high and a minority runs the show.

Moreover democracies require an educated populace in order to survive.

Which is not what they are made for, and can't sustain. This is the same like the stories of airliners going Mach 1,000001 for short times during testing, usually going down, not even horizontal. This is not anything like the envisioned Mach 1.5+ or Mach 2+whatever envisioned by some startups.
I feel its whatever the opposite of just saying "damn that's crazy" when people complain at you.
Thinking about this from a more technical perspective. CSAM scanning will only catch the dumbest of abusers. One with even a remote level of sophistication will just spin up their own servers, there is plenty of OSS software out there to do such a thing, and thus would completely bypass any measures that are being proposed.

With services like Digital Ocean, you can spin up a chat server with pretty much only the most basic of technical knowledge, hell you likely won't even have to touch a command line.

Sure the EU could move to require OSS software developers operating in the EU to backdoor their software but that will be moot too as it will get caught on to in a heartbeat and a fork (sans backdoor) will be made available.

I don't have much care for the US as I live in Asia (Currently Taiwan) and am from New Zealand. So I'm in no way trying to justify what the US has done or doing and they can be just as guilty.

However the two situations are vastly different. The US has a history of reporting on issues that happen on their own turf. Sometimes with positive outcomes, sometimes without any outcome at all.

With China, the CCP controls the narrative 100% of the time. When any information is leaked it's stamped out and censored quickly.

For example they claim to have 100% resolved poverty. Part of what they did was hand out money to rural area's to help people. When people claimed they never recieved money, or that they were forced to sign paperwork stating they recieved the money when they hadn't, it was quickly censored and scrubbed from social media in China. So can we trust the CCP when they say they got rid of poverty?

> Over a period of less than 72 hours in Xinjiang we were followed constantly and, on five separate occasions, approached by people who attempted to stop us from filming in public, sometimes violently.

> But the China Daily chooses not to mention that some of our footage was forcibly deleted and we were made to accompany the same police officer to another location so she could review the remaining pictures.

> It was also attended by two propaganda officials who were assigned to accompany us for the rest of our time in Kuqa - adding one more car to the long line that followed us wherever we went.

> Far from being fake news, our evidence, along with the post-publication propaganda designed to undermine it, is proof of a co-ordinated effort to control the narrative, extending from the shadowy minders in unmarked cars, all the way up to the national government.

So it doesn't matter if China invites anyone in, the CCP will tell us what they want us to hear. Not what's actually going on.
> Please forgive the nit-picking, I'm not attacking this (excellent) article, or your entirely sensible inclination to dig up some "physical" number, but...

I don't think it's nitpicking. We're discussing there. We're technical people, and we tend to point out different aspects/perspectives of a problem, and offer our opinions. That's something I love when it's done in a civilized manner.

Regarding to remaining part of your comment (I didn't want to quote to not make it look crowded), I kindly disagree.

The beauty of SSDs are they have a controller which fits into the definition of black magic, and all flash is abstracted behind that, but not completely. Hard drives also are almost in the same realm.

Running a simple "smartctl -a /dev/sdX" returns a line like the following:

Sector Sizes: 512 bytes logical, 4096 bytes physical

This means I can bang it with 512 byte packs and it'll handle it fine, but the physical cell (or sector) size is different, which is 4kB. I have another SSD, again from same manufacturer, which reports:

Sector Size: 512 bytes logical/physical

So, I can dd it and it'll just handle it just fine, but the first one needs a bs=4kB to minimize write-amplification and maximize speed.

This is completely same with USB flash drives. Higher end drives will provide full SMART (since they're bona-fide SSDs), but lower end ones are not that talkative. Nevertheless, a common denominator block size (like 1024kB, because drives also can be composed of huge, 512kB cells, too) allows any drive to divide the chunk to physical flash sector sizes optimally, and push data to it

In the SLC/xLC hybrid drives' case, controller does the math to minimize the write amplification, but again having a perfect multiple of reported physical sector size makes controller's work much easier, and makes things way smoother. Either because the reported physical size is for the SLC part which is you're hitting for the most cases, or the controller is already handling multi-level logistics inside the flash array (but thinking in terms of block sizes since the this is how it works on the bus side regardless of the case inside).
I was going to say the same thing, and yet…

Let’s say that you give someone $100 so that they can feed their family. The good feeling you get, and the sense of justice, etc is worth $100 or more to you. Therefore, you got at least $100 utility out of it.

Apple trees are not good candidates for starting from seed - not if you want to eat the apples afterwards. Most apple trees are started from cuttings (cloning!). Otherwise, you might just wind up with apples that aren't good for much but cider (the alcoholic sort). Johnny Appleseed, a figure from American history that has been mythologized, realistically went around spreading apples for alcohol. This is the same reason folks could "find" or own a prized apple tree: The apples tasted delicious.

It is quite possible that another variety of fruit tree produces better results when growing from trees, but I don't know. I only know the apple bit because my father tried starting an apple orchard before his health started deteriorating.
