EU agrees directive that will force Apple to change iPhone charging port
Determining the owner of this treasure will be fascinating. By modern standards, the treasures are ill-gotten gains, extracted by force from an occupied territory. But it was so long ago that the countries and populations involved have only passing resemblance to their modern descendants.

Spain does appear to have recognized law on their side - it was a Spanish flagged ship, and modern Spain is the recognized successor of historical imperial Spain. But giving the treasure to Spain would be tantamount to endorsing colonial looting.

On the other hand, giving it to anyone else sets a precedent for distributing colonial-era wealth as some form of reparations, and trying to unpick hundreds of years of history and population mixing to work out exactly who should be a beneficiary seems an impossibility.

Maybe it should stay sunken until we have matured a little more as a species.

IP rights-holders are hyper-pessimistic paranoid control freaks.

See also: the 30-year-long campaign by the RIAA to stop any kind of non-DRMed digital high-fidelity consumer recordable media from being marketed. They finally lost it with the advent of the CD-R, but it's the reason that MiniDisc had DRM, Digital Compact Cassette was never "a thing", etc.
Wow, this looks a bit tricky but super cool. Have to look into it. Thank you for the suggestion!

How do you know that any of these things would actually benefit either McDonalds or Amazon shareholders? Remember that as CEO you have fiduciary duties, you can’t just do what you feel like.

It seems to me that McDonalds has a pretty solid market fit already, I’m not sure that it would be wise to go on an upmarket wild goose chase.

For an exercise like this it would be more interesting to hear what steps you would take as a CEO to discover what you need to do. Going in with nothing but preconceived notions is a recipe for disaster.
Forgiveness is for the penitent.

Forgiveness is also for transgressions. Opposition to "cancel culture" is in some part due to not seeing the underlying issues as moral faults. It wasn't a moral transgression for Prof. Christakis to suggest that social change come via social interaction rather than authorities. It wasn't a moral transgression for Bret Weinstein to say "On a college campus, one's right to speak — or to be — must never be based on skin color." It wasn't a moral transgression for Emmanuel Cafferty to crack his knuckles or for Greg Patton to give an example of filler word usage in Mandarin. All of these are a far cry from falsifying an allegation of abuse.

Lastly, reciprocity forms the linchpin of human moral systems. Bruce Schneier, Liars and Outliers (2012); Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens (2015); Robert Sapolsky, Behave (2017). That includes not only reciprocal altruism, but penal reciprocity. "If any one bring an accusation of any crime before the elders, and does not prove what he has charged, he shall, if it be a capital offense charged, be put to death." Hammurabi, Code of Laws (King translation.). Johnny Depp lost significant work and was a pariah due to these false accusations. I don't think it's excessive to view that as unjust, and to want the perpetrator of that injustice to experience the same. That isn't cancel culture, that's just wishing for bad people to get a taste of their own medicine.
> What about the audio signal?

> Probably because it was much less of an issue if it was cracked, the audio signal received significantly less polish than the video

I don't know, I might watch something with weird visual artifacts for a bit, but crackling, static audio drives me crazy :-]
I hear you. The battle has many fronts.

I venture that if we could successfully fight the GPL battle, then your other concerns would also fall into line. Then again, fighting the GPL battle is hard.

If you aren't yet feeling the importance of GPL, then I still applaud you if you can make any headway on the other issues you mentioned.
Yes and no. I would argue that if enough people are doing this on a small scale then there's potential for significant impact.

All that is required is the belief that it is imperative your team wins. The ideology that you can be dishonest if you do it for the right reasons grants considerable latitude for these types of corrections.

In the case you present, one bad actor is somehow able to manipulate the system en mass. That is certainly likely to draw attention, as you've pointed out.
That seems to be the default configuration of OpenVPN (Arch) but it's probably my fault.
Faster software will always save you time, money and effort.
> scale to zero whenever possible (lambda)

AWS pricing is great because you aren't price-gouged if you don't use it?

And your statement isn't really true. If you use AWS Lambdas do implement something like an HTTP endpoint, you still need to pay for stuff like AWS KMS and API Gateway even if no client hits you with a request.

- use minimal infra (lambda managing ec2 with route53 health check)

Above free tier AWS Lambdas are terribly expensive when compared with EC2 alone. You're charged per RAM*time, you're charged per concurrent execution, and if your Lambda times out you have to pay for the re-execution.

- don’t use rds (s3+dynamo ideally, sql on i4i nvme if you must)

AWS pricing is great because you are not price gouged id you do not use them?
No it was about why to build the kernel without some modules.
Didn't think about that. Regardless, the other decreases in AAMR are consistent with improved health. It cannot all be due to improved healthcare.
Heh, just saw it. I wrote it on a desktop PC but that pretty surely was autocorrect still.
Oddly, I do just that. One of the youtubers that I pay money to was a VP of information security at a major company doing live shows. He produces good content so I'm willing to to fund that.
>Well, yeah. Streaming services wouldn't exist without DRM. The existence of infinite accessible libraries of content for flat-fee monthly-subscription prices, is built upon IP licenses which were granted conditional to the consumer's inability to leverage that access into piracy. If we deleted DRM, streaming services would cease to exist overnight — all their license grants being revoked, leaving them with nothing to serve — and we'd go back to just relying upon the iTunes Music Store / Netflix DVD rental model. (Which, to be clear, has still also existed alongside streaming this whole time.)

Then why there is a ton of Netflix and Amazon Prime owned content on the torrents? It seems the content is very pirateable, DRM or not.
first class VIM keybindings also please!
Douglas Adams’s parody of Multivac gave us The Answer, so it’s nice to see this here… :)
Ah, I understand. I thought it was the usual presented use case to apply an operation to a crypt directly and was confused since the title already stated otherwise.
Thing is, the vast majority don’t care about infinite tweaking. I’d never want to change the tab size or anything else like that. It should be right to begin with. Also I don’t want to have to deal with extensions breaking every update.

What I, and almost everyone else wants is extensions which provide real utility like language packs, linters, git tools, etc. All of this works well on VS code.
Leaving aside the question of whether it's realistic for the system to depend on non-voters checking their vote's status - what would be the procedure if someone claimed they were wrongly shown as having voted?

After all, it's easy to imagine a situation where certain groups might want to manufacture evidence of voter fraud.
Oh that’s cool. Maybe that will happen with atom too.
There's going to be culture shocks. For example, what I think is a good job or career direction isn't the same as what she thinks, and vice versa. For some, a job with a pension means success.

Another might be well, small things. When my mom puts a plate of cookies on the dinner table, it's for everyone. She gets offended if the cookies are still there in the morning. When my wife's family puts a plate of cookies on the table, it belongs to someone. You ask before taking any, because it could be reserved for a specific person. This leads to a lot of arguments, assumptions about how selfish other people are, etc.

There's also skills. Some people are not financially fluent - they may buy a $2000 thing and pay $50 over 5 years or so.

Some are not very scientifically fluent - I have relatives who will wash the dishes in any clear liquid, including wastewater, because they assume that if it's clear, it clean. Or some might assume that the lights use up the most electricity when it's bright, so they go for the dimmer ones with higher wattage.

Neatness too. I'm glad my wife is a minimalist like me. Some people love having lots of stuff; it makes them feel wealthy and inspired.
That's interesting. I mostly had the opposite experience.

I tried journaling electronically many times over the years, from basic text files with zero format, to markdown files... even a private Tumblr blog. I couldn't make any of them work for more than a couple of weeks.

The electronic thing just kinda disappeared from my vision.

I started a bullet journal about 12 months ago, and it's the first thing I've ever managed to use consistently for journaling. Partly because of the very short-form bullet points that a day of journaling is made up of, but the act of hand writing the entries and having a physical journal was the magic for me.
the real number you want to see is the one you cant get - number of applicants per job posting is surely going up
And here I struggle with the latency of local programs built on Electron. I can't imagine developing in the cloud all the time. Maybe the next generation of developers can go down that path and eventually rediscover the wonders of localhost.
My state provides a webpage for verifying the status of your ballot by serial number. There may also be a way to do so by phone. I’m not aware of a way to obtain the map of ID to voter but I don’t think it’s necessary. Plus it’s radioactive from a voter intimidation and privacy perspective.

> Let's say voter fraud is indeed very low in the US, why not make obvious moves to make it even more accurate and honest?

Because if you aren’t careful you can make it worse.
This will only cause an error if both of these are true:

- if the expression is the top level expression in a statement (like in my example code) or the left hand side in a comma expression
- if the expression is not an assignment, increment, or decrement

So using it in a return is fine because then the expression is no longer the top level in the statement, the return is. Of course then the function calling THAT function must deal with not discarding the value. It's pretty neat.
I have the same justification with study notes, and prefer typing most of the time for the speed and easy referencing.

Some people just like the tactility of writing. I have a fountain pen I enjoy writing with, and the process is fun, and result can be more pleasing to look at.

The slowness of writing also lets you stew in your thoughts a bit more. It really depends on how you like your catharsis.
If anyone torrents now, qBittorrent is a no-brainer. And it is fully free and open-source.

There's a lot of crime that goes unreported. It's well known here that property crime goes unpunished / nothing can be done, so many people don't bother reporting it at all.

In my opinion people like you think that conservative media is exaggerating the amount of crime in cities, but it's actually happening. There is a ton of crime here. Scenes that look like they're from a zombie movie, people shooting up drugs and leaving needles everywhere, open-air markets peddling wares shoplifted from cvs/walgreens/etc. This is not made up.
It's only censorship when China or other oppressive regimes are doing it.

We call it "filtering", "anti hate speech", or "anti child-porn".
Technically, they're not pirating the content itself; the original, full-fidelity content remains DRMed. Instead, what these torrents are, are re-encodings of the decoded video stream produced by playing the content. (I.e., they're what comes down the HDMI cable out of the streaming box, minus the HDCP.)

This process loses a lot — for example, this signal is very likely post-HDR-color-processing, and so the result won't look very good on any other screen than the one it was originally told it was going to be played on.

Most people won't care, and will just watch the torrent anyway; but the fact that there's this very slight loss of fidelity, makes the IP rights-holders feel warm and happy inside that they still have this "perfect fidelity master copy" that they can show in theatres that nobody else has access to.

Take that away from them, and they really do withdraw their licenses. (See also: Apple being able to license effectively-perfect-fidelity 256kbit AAC versions of songs from certain parties, but being unable to convince those same parties to license Apple Lossless encodings of those songs.)

My observations and experiences. Used VSCode from 2014.

1. Attracted Nodejs and then Python initially.

2. Fast enough

3. Good extension architecture and extensive extension ecosystem (hey look a new EEE)

4. LSP integration
I suspect we spend so much per pupil because overall we spend so little on the rest of society. A school in a neighborhood with a lot of generational poverty is going to have a lot of social problems. Those social problems are going to negatively impact the lives of students, who will then bring those problems to the school with them. Dealing with those problems requires additional staff, which require additional salary.
QBittorrent is the best torrent client right now, IMO. Fully open-source and free. Very feature-rich and reliable.
Because all my ram is already consumed. I have a 16gb MacBook running only a browser, vscode, ms teams, and the docker containers for the app and I have no memory left so I see a spinning ball every time I change windows. Ms teams was the final straw. Slack was about 300mb but teams is now 700mb+
I already agreed pretty readily with your reservation about the rarely-used part.

I still can't escape the idea that, with a little more try, a 10HP generator could be 1/3rd the size. Engines are, yeah, complex; I've tried to & fucked up tending to the carb on my small unit. Anything we can do to get solid state seems like a win- fuel injection, electronic valve control, this neat new ignition capability. Small wins, helping size, hopefully reliability, efficiency. Integrate the motor & generator housings, if we can, use more integrated systems integration.

7kW would still charge at the rate many cars do charge at. Double that & this seems really useful, if it's small & cost effective. I've been not-great at getting to it for a while, but I used to go drive out, & mix car camping & hiking & driving around for a week or two. An EV would be unsuitable, particularly given that hills are an attraction. But an EV with a range extender would be superb. My car could slowly charge over night.
They’re one of today’s lucky 10,000.
Downvoted to zero points again, apparently not contributing to the discussion.
Why not claw the money back from colleges? They clearly didn't give people a good education, because they can't afford to pay off their loans. There might even be room for a class-action lawsuit for false advertising.
I doubt they make any money. But think of how many people soften their stances on Microsoft and buy into their developer ecosystem eventually. It is a success in that sense.

This was a really useful comment. Thank you.

I know there's a degree of oversimplification going on here, but there's something to be said for having a simple bullet-list breakdown of all the use-cases - alongside the best tool for each use-case.

It is servers as a practical starting point in terms of narrowing down the list of tools (of which there are so many), before one proceeds with a deeper dive into the best fitting tool.

Would be great if there were a site that did this sort of thing for all the common architectural needs.
I am utterly confused that such an important policy decision is introduced as a court order and not a law.

Not getting this idea that Linux is freedom per se. Since the article was written, RedHat was acquired by IBM, and even before, Linux was largely controlled by enterprise demands (systemd, namespaces/docker) and folks with their own agenda (glibc, gnome).

Freedom is choice. Choice requires alternative implementations. Alternatives can and will be developed if there's a common spec, like POSIX, SUS, LSB, X, OpenGL used to be, all of which have atrophied. Linux doesn't inspire anyone to create new end-user apps (with the exception of Blender and Krita, which were started well over ten years ago). Instead, we're loosing the apps we had, and march towards dumb UIs and needlessly containerized apps a la snap/flatpack.

It's of no use and only frustrating to lament and decry the past without also showing a perspective to get out of our situation, or clean up the mess for those who follow after us.

F/OSS is clearly not the solution, as can be seen by the demise of the web going the way of all previous digital communication mechanisms: it has been foobar'd by the ad industry, like email, Usenet, XMPP before.

Open, meaningful standards are the only solution. Not like "web standards" eg WHATWG and W3C. Who thought it was a good idea to hand standard development to an ad company in the first place? We now have a closed-loop web where the content provider and the user agent are from the same party. We had that with CompuServe et al before the web; there was no need for a craptastic CSS and JS detour to arrive at that situation.
Re. 2.: I just bought a Fairphone 4 with e/OS preinstalled. I think I can do on that device whatever suits me. Not all is lost but we need to care.
In the case of elections, it's because one party has decided that making it as easy to vote as possible helps them win elections and so insists that election fraud does not exist and any protective measures are an attack on democracy itself. And they have the support of most of the media and organisations like the ACLU, so those claims are part of the mainstream beliefs in the USA and other countries' experiences with stuff like vote-by-mail fraud are ignored. At least, that's the kindest explanation I can give, given that one of their former congressmen just got caught rigging a bunch of elections...

You may have noticed that between 2016 and 2020 there were a bunch of media articles about voting security and how poor it was despite this. That's because the US media has no problem concluding that the voting system can't be trusted when the wrong party wins something important, like the presidential election. I'm not even exaggerating here, whether (say) voting machine security is portrayed as a non-issue that's impossible to exploit or a gaping hole that throws into question the entire results aligns exactly with who's winning.
You are not understanding what the "stuffed envelopes" was about. Federal elections are comprised of the people voting for candidates for specific electoral "seats" (geo regions equating to a seat in parliament). Some candidates are independents, others are party candidates.

What you are referring to relates to the way parties select their own candidates for a given seat. Rules for such things are entirely party issues and nothing to do with either the federal election itself, nor with the AEC. Some parties allow for "higher-ups" to veto the selection of party branch members, or to carry greater weight. There's typically horse-trading as factions of parties jockey for position to become "the" candidate for a given seat. Yes, branch stacking (with shill party members) happens. At the end of the day, they still have to present a candidate that the electorate finds palatable. E.g. in the recent federal election, the Labor party "parachuted" a high-profile candidate into a seat against the wishes of the local branch. That candidate was soundly beaten - contra to the trend in adjoining seats and the rest of the country - precisely because of those sort of shenanigans.

You're clearly a troll and I know I'm not going to convince you of anything, however there are others reading this and they deserve respect. Hence my responses.

Yes. The AEC is not perfect. Never claimed it was. But as far as these kind of institutions go, it's pretty damn good, and you could argue prima facie that it's leagues better than what you've got in the USA.

You've got to be kidding about the gun deaths. Yes, overall homicides may be down, yet active shooter events at schools are up. In what other country not actively at war or suffering a terrorist insurgency would anyone need a school desk like this? https://www.defendourchildren.org/safe-space-security-desk

Answer: only the USA.

I'm going to stop now but if your aim is to convince people you're a reasonable, good-faith interlocutor, you have singularly failed.

So you're serving static assets through CloudFront with a single backing service. Congrats, you managed to have a service that doesn't offer regional services.

Also, you definitely don't support clients in China, or enjoy shooting yourself in the foot.

Most professional applications with a global deployment and paying customers don't have the benefit of uploading HTML and calling it done.

Society evolves into communism. These are just the complications of late stage capitalism where we are still trying to patch the leaks. But, as you alude to, it is impossible to have a capitalist system where the commodity (sharing files and data) has zero cost or value.
I'm sorry, but i failed to install php or composer many times before in Windows.

Good job, PHP.
> In my opinion, nobody should use Deluge.

That's pretty harsh for the client just not supporting one non-essential feature. Many power users of Deluge or other torrent clients run it on seedboxes where a proxy isn't needed and would also negatively impact the speed.
Which gap? There are so many plugins. The only use I did of vscode this last year was to use the drawio integration and now I am doing diagram as code when I need to with mermaidjs or python diagrams and no longer uses it.
