Voluntary never works. There are just too many people that don't care and aren't willing to change.

The fix is to hike the costs and rebate to those that actually save and those under a certain income or charge a lot more once a household or business uses more than a certain amount of water.
Steam is another big one. They require you to use the Steam mobile app and it's the only way to do 2FA - no QR code. I've since dropped 2FA for Steam altogether.
Tom from Myspace seems to be doing well. I think he's an outlier though.
If the relationship were superlinear, then we'd expect to see much higher rates of mass shootings in places like Montana or Wyoming (where >60% of households have guns) and lower rates in California (where ~20% of households have guns). This does not seem to be the case.

I admire your optimism, but the notion that missing access checks are somehow less dangerous in a memory safe language is nonsense on its face.

Yes, this particular one enabled a defeat of ASLR, but so what?
Missing access checks enable privilege escalation no matter what the language.

Your claim that "has well-definable consequences" is equally true in C++ as anywhere else.
Whether you miss your access check in rust, or C++, or python, or whatever, the definable consequences are "privilege escalation".

Let's not pretend memory safe languages solve logic problems.
They help with memory safety - that's awesome but not a complete solution.

If we want better verification of access contracts, we'd need a language with contracts or some other verifiable mechanism.

Those exist, and i'd support their use in this sort of case.

I think the public should be afforded the opportunity to see the real effects and results of the policies they enact. Propagandists are going to propagandize whether the truth is out there or not, and I think it is better to allow for the truth to prevail at all, than to have it shrouded and obfuscated because of fears that it might spook some.
Does the recent 5th Circuit decision[1] related to civil penalties issued by administrative agencies have any relevance here?

The article mentioned that the complaint was "filed by the Department of Justice on behalf of the FTC," which sounds a bit more involved than the FTC saying, "Hey Twitter, here's your sign, now pony up"...I have no idea how the game is actually played though.

> (It appears, by your remarks, that you do not understand features that support OOP, so cannot reason reliably about their potential value for particular cases.)

I would be interested to learn what you think those features are; I have years of experience fooling around in languages such as Python, Javascript, Java, C++11+, Haskell, and also other less common ones. Maybe I have in fact not understood how to best make use of certain features. I've always been a little bit obsessed with performance & control, and I ended up in frustration about non-orthogonality / non-composability of modern language features and approaches. So I found myself on the path of exploring what's possible when limiting myself to basic flow control and basic read and write operations and function calls.

It's certainly been a journey of ups and downs, but I'm in good company, and I've gotten to know some people who are amazingly productive this way. Basically my standpoint as of today is that at least for systems programming, languages should get out of the way. There is little value in using features that make it easier to forget about certain aspects of programming, when those tasks are actually only a small part of the total work, and for good performance it's important to get the details right - which can be done mostly in a centralized location. Of course I'm thinking about resource and memory management. (Most critics of bare-bones C programming still think it is about matching malloc() and free() calls. That's a terrible way to program, as they rightly claim, and there are far better approaches to do it that do not involve language features or libraries).

What matters IME is mostly systemic understanding, and sinking time into getting the details right. Papering over them is not a solution. YMMV, maybe I'll soon have another series of attempts at "modern" approaches, and whatever the way to programming heaven ultimately is, I've already learned a couple of insights that transformed my thinking significantly, and that I wouldn't have learnt otherwise.
"pure" prolog I/O is every bit as pure as Haskell pure I/O, which is ... not very much and in a hand-wavy sort of way. My understanding is that it basically means "either it corresponds to the spec, or it fails". At first, it seems trivial and a strange point of pride to have. Until you realize that most languages actually don't have anything built-in to do that, and must resort to some sort of parser. At which point, the data is already past your I/O gateway and may lead to unpredictable effects in your program. This is not an academic opinion, just my 2c.
I was very interested in Zettelkasten, and bought "How to Take Smart Notes". I may be one of the few people who didn't like it: it was sorely in need of an editor and could have been 1/4th the size with the same amount of information, and I think it should've been called "Why to Take Smart Notes". I wanted a how-to guide, but got a persuasion piece on why I should want to do the thing I was already interested enough in that I bought a book to learn how to do it.

Anyway, as interesting as it is, I don't see any way Zettelkasten is useful to me specifically. I get how it could be amazing for others, particularly authors, but I want knowledge retrieval more than knowledge synthesis. Basically, I need a personal wiki. I've found LYT, especially its Maps Of Content, to be an excellent resource for organizing the million and one things I want to drop into a PKM and be able to find later. For me, a web of information is much more useful than a serialization.
The financial part maybe, but the impending doom is pure fear porn.

It's documented in the book Google Plex. Google hired a neurosurgeon as their first infrastructure engineer. His fast task was to increase the rack density to save company money. The dude figure out how to pack 10x more processing power into the same size, resulting in overheating of the colo space (or overloading the power line? I can't remember exactly). The colo company had to tear down an entire wall and used a 18-wheeler modified mobile air conditioner. I probably got some details wrong as it's been years since I read the book, but you get the spirit.
Could you add a reference to some statistics around that?

> The term "blacklist" arose from "black book" almost 100 years prior. "Black book" does not appear to have any etymology or sources that support ties to race, instead coming from the 1400s referring "to a list of people who had committed crimes or fallen out of favor with leaders" and popularized by King Henry VIII's literal usage of a book bound in black.[16] Others also note the prevalence of positive and negative connotations to "white" and "black" in the bible, predating attributions to skin tone and slavery.[17] It wasn't until the 1960s Black Power movement that "Black" became a widespread word to refer to one's race as a person of color in America[18] (alternate to African-American) lending itself to the argument that the negative connotation behind "black" and "blacklist" both predate attribution to race.

Pumped hydro energy storage is already low specific energy. Compressed air and lifting large masses are even less economical schemes.

It may be cheaper to just offer time of use pricing to incentivize demand response. EV charging, washing machines, and dishwashers use timers to shift demand to off-peak hours. HVAC and water heaters can be connected via smart grid switches or thermostats. Precooling or preheating can be exploited. During the highest demand days temperatures can be relaxed or units can be duty cycled by splitting customers' units into four groups A B C D and running each for 15 min. to smooth out a soften a sharp spike in total demand.
This is not a tech solution. But if a non-tech solution works and is feasible to implement, that would be great. Not sure if you are serious or being sarcastic... this might prevent mass shooting but total fatality over time due to kids upset and using weapon at a moment of impulse would be a lot higher?
Right and how did it out ended up working in case of the Equifax breach?

"Class actions" achieve very little; the only thing they do is make lawyers wealthier and if by some miracle the case succeeds, everyone else will get a 5$ coupon.

Real change requires changing laws by the democratic process and that can only happen when the population unites to hold the government strongly accountable.

I would argue that any other solution is a bandaid.
I think decay is an excellent word to describe Evernote’s journey, or at least the bits where I was involved. The UIs became progressively less usable, and somehow felt more fragile. My own use of it was experiment-> embrace -> decay. I can’t just blame the tool, that pattern of changing productivity tools is more of a me problem it turns out.

I’ve done a lot of thinking about an ideal tool for capturing and organizing thought and Muse appears to have addressed my own ambitions and those of experts in the field. Congrats on the great work. With this release I won’t need to get an iPad to try it, but after reading this post I sure want one.

To that end, I’m curious about user stories from desktop-first, and/or desktop-only Muse users.
It has become incredibly political. It always has had a heavy political aspect, but now it's just about completely impossible to avoid.

Getting large swaths of the seabed is going to be beyond the resources of almost everyone. They spent like $200m hunting for MH370... and didn't find it. And on the scale of the ocean that was not a large swath by any means.
Yeah but where does that water flow. We have guns, we have gravels, but where does it go!?
I don’t think forcing people to do stuff is right because it doesn’t address the issue. Plus, what if you “force” them and they end up doing work in secret anyways? If you find out, are you going to fire them?

I do think pressuring devs to take time off; making it harder (or at least not easier) for them to work when they “don’t need to”; explicitly telling them that working extra hours doesn’t actually create more productivity (then showing them the studies) and that it genuinely doesn’t make them look any better in your eyes - all of those are good ideas.

Of course, make sure they’re not bogged down with work or getting benefits like extra money from working extra.

Ultimately, you dont know your devs motivation for why they’re working extra. Maybe the dev working on Sunday is a hair-pulling workaholic, maybe he just got really bored at the wedding and figured doing work then would give him better free time later.
I'm not arguing against that fact.

I'm arguing that in the USA, mass-murder events have 15 to 50 deaths involved. In other countries, the number is just 5 to 20.

Weapons of choice matter. Guns kill more people more reliably than a knife, or even a car.
Yeah that's what I meant, sorry if I wasn't clear!
Space is pretty empty. From what I can find, the interplanetary medium is around 5 particles/cm^3 compared to the exhaust from the ion thruster which seems to be around 10^6 particles/cm^3 and disperses to 10^4 particles/cm^3 further away.

Coming from the opposite end, getting non-coders to do even the slightest automation, is that almost no-one has the interest or ability, and those that do are already doing it.

They can do mouse clicking and typing words (often very well, they are not dumb) but everything is manual, as MS has trained them do.

Same with very good Excel users, who you think would have a leg up.

> Can we?

We can't solve this problem because we're all talking about highly theoretical and utopian solutions that don't account for actually existing realities.

The left says "no guns". The right says "more guns".

The US constitution says "the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Yes, there's a preface about a well regulated militia, and yes, people were using muskets when it was written, but the Supreme Court has ruled that this confers an individual right to possess modern firearms.

And the Supreme Court is even more right-wing now, and likely to force blue states to loosen their gun laws to look more like red states.

So maybe we'd have a more productive conversation if we talked about what's possible in the actually existing United States instead of dreaming about Australia's successes, because there's zero probability that we'll be able to learn from Australia.
We are not aware of any such thing. As rebelwebmaster noted, when we know that we put it in our advisory.

Clearly the vulnerabilities are exploitable as demonstrated by Manfred Paul's winning Pwn2Own entry. The details were disclosed only to Zero Day Initiative staff (the contest organizers) and Mozilla. They have not been discovered on any website in the wild.

This feels silly. Explosives are general arms for an armed service. Good luck stockpiling c4. Or having a military vehicle. Cannons that can shoot depleted uranium? Surface to air missiles? All arms that would be needed to fend off a real threat.

So the idea that guns are special is idiotic. You can already get in trouble for using a gun with too many rounds when bird hunting. Is that actually illegal?

It’s not a single point in time, most of those same companies who IPOd before becoming profitable recently are still not profitable and being punished by the market more than the market in general.
I wasn’t proposing anything, just expressing surprise that corporations are able to conspire against members of the public in this manner. That someone can just go and find out your personal history and sell it to parties you’re trying to transact with.

Very interesting angle. Where does the analogy take us?
In your "local-first software"[2] article, you discuss data privacy and encryption:

"Local-first apps can use end-to-end encryption so that any servers that store a copy of your files only hold encrypted data that they cannot read."

Does Muse encrypt the user's data (notes, images, sketches, etc)?
Indeed and that is why there are plenty of options for free tiers. I even started off with the $84/yr option, which isn't too bad.

I've lost the point of your message though. Your original response suggested a RPI... which is about $35 just for the base hardware and it doesn't do nearly what I outlined above.

Zines are great ways for people to get into publishing their own stuff for the first time. You are right, very few people will want to read what you create, but a few will and this is of course an amazing thrill.

Most zines are amateurish but that's the point: it's a great way for kids or young people to try their hands at creating stuff. And some if it is good.

Haven't looked at this yet, but I think electric zine makers are a little backwards: the idea behind zines is you just need paper, ink, staples, a photocopier, and an imagination. If you are going to go all in with digital publishing pdfs, there are already lots of tools for this.
I have a few tangential questions. What sort of salary are they expecting? Secondly, how long do they plan to stay at the company that invests in training them once recruiters start sending them better offers?

A company can be good at: training employees, paying reasonable salaries, retaining employees. Pick two if you don’t have the funds to play in the “hot job market” (which, I assume, is the situation that the majority of tech companies around the world are in at this moment). And there’s your answer.
There is a more tactful way to do what he did. It's ok to criticize business competitors, but calling them "mob bosses" and going on paranoid rants about them is not effective. It probably doesn't matter that much for him because he has fuck you money, but I hope he learned to have more self control after this.
The problem i saw in my area was they opened up shop almost right across the street from comp-usa. I used to haunt that comp-usa and frequently i would hear people talk about just being over there. Their mai compalint was that they had to wait for thier computer but they could just buy one at comp-usa and leave with it. I am surprised they lasted as long as they did.

Strictly, it doesn't. A supreme court decision that gave a new interpretation of arms would be needed. But, as stated elsewhere, many arms and guns are already regulated. Quite heavily.
I'm not going to pretend to be an expert but it seems like the hard/expensive part is probably building the underwater drone capable of taking the LIDAR?
