There's giving someone the benefit of the doubt, then there's mocking one of the more corrupt Senators who claimed that an email was delayed by a few days due to what he was essentially calling network congestion, and using that as an argument against network neutrality -- while taking just truckloads of telecom lobbyist cash into his campaigns.

You could in theory make a sound argument about why the internet is just a series of tubes and make honest arguments about their capacity and the capital investment needed to keep up with the growth in data and increase in bandwidth requirements. Stevens did none of those things.
> You aren't off the hook because it's difficult to do.

IANAL (I am not a lawyer) and I guess the reason for this can be interpreted in different ways, but keeping companies off the hook partially because it's difficult for private companies to be the police is arguably what society has decided to do through Section 230 of the CDA.

> I think society should just get over this sort of thing. People fuck each other-

Perhaps, but this seems like something ingrained into many humans for a variety of reasons on a level that maybe can't be overcome.

Go to a prison and lock yourself in a cell with a large convict who lacks human emotions — a psychopath. Why should it be a problem? He has no reason to do anything to you. He could end your life on a whim without any consequences but he has no reason to. If you can sleep well in that cell then I’ll admit your position makes sense. But the reality is that up until this point the only organism that could defeat us is us. We’ve never been in the cell before. It’s not going to be pleasant.

I'm not sure if this answers your question but VLIW processors feature speculative loads.

"speculative load" can be seen as data prefetch to a register, but with a extra instruction to put before reading/using the register. This instruction check that the memory content has been received, otherwise the instruction stall the pipeline. It allows to reorder a load before a conditional branch.

To determine whether the load has been received, there is an additional structure in the microarchitecture that tracks speculative loads in-flight.
When a context switch occurs, this data-structure is overwritten, so there are additional mechanisms to replay the load in such cases.
Someone probably gives lifetime numbers with some context . Probably not impossible.
It all depends on what you qualify as "before", sharing leaked videos has been a thing since the early days of online porn, be it abusive exes or "hackers" humiliating their victims. As always, the internet brings out the very best and the absolute worst of humanity.

I personally hopetthat soon enough we'll be able to move on to a post-blackmail society with the advance of deep fakes. When anybody has the ability to paste any face onto any movie, no video can be trusted (it already can't be, to be fair) and everything should be covered under plausible deniability. Just declaring something a fake by some Facebook creep that wants your money should hopefully be enough to wars off any confrontation from friends or family about leaked explicit content.

It's really the best I can think of to hope for. Banning porn won't help, putting up red tape will only spawn more websites outside enforcing jurisdictions, and the perfect deep fake singularity may be mere years of not months away.
The economic challenge I understand, but how is this greenwashing? Transportation is one of the biggest sources of CO2 emissions.
The line is the mantra of criminals since time immemorial. It’s not a US invention.

But, I would invite you to spend some time in any US court house where criminal proceedings are being held. You will find that 99.999% of convicts are very guilty (with proof anyone in the room can verify and would agree is proof beyond a shadow of a doubt) of the crimes they’ve committed. While I agree that .001% is still too high a percentage when talking about convicting innocents. It’s truly the height of hyperbole to claim there’s a chance it might be true for anyone who says it.

Assets which are BTW unsatisfactory disclosed considering a) comparison with established equity markets and b) that such disclosure only exists at all due to law-enforcement.

So it's the same approach to generating html, except the part that belongs to client side (event/ui-state) is irrelevant to backend _anyway_. If you separate javascript code into 2 main parts, 1) what's only related to generating html 2) what's only related to DOM API, you get jQuery approach where on the back end javascript is just yet another backend language?

Wow! I hope to one day work where you did and to have similar experiences. That sounds great.
Perhaps in this case. In the report I worked on though, a decent part of the report was in the vein of, "Even if party $X violated such and such as claimed, each of these damages that opposing expert enumerates is in fact much smaller for reasons $A, $B, and $C.

In this case, of course, it may well have been the case that the damages seemed reasonable if the company had indeed violated IP. So the lawyer basically made sure the jury knew the expert was paid but basically move on.

> "Sure, I should setup a complex and huge dependency for just one of the many problems I highlighted. What a great idea"

This too, demonstrates the point I raised earlier.

Instead of using a mature, widely adopted and battle-tested system which allows you to efficiently share code across multiple languages without introducing runtime hits - you instead discard it as some "huge dependency" and insist on having JS everywhere, using the latest hype of the week, consequences be damned.

Why actually spend the time to solve a problem in a mature way, when I can just add this week's shiniest NPM package to imports.json?
Well, the process size numbers between different companies have been somewhat meaningless for a while now, as they all measure different things. Intel's 14nm process is still larger than the 5nm TSMC process used here, but the difference is considerably smaller than the numbers suggest. It's a fair point about VLIW cores being a lot cheaper in terms of power budget though. I'm still extremely sceptical but I concede that at least on paper it's not impossible.
> Consumer Reports, for example.

Not sure if it's comparable but in the UK we have "Which?" magazine which provides reader-funded "supposedly impartial" product/business reviews. (It started as a printed magazine but is now largely an online venture I think).

I haven't done much due-diligence on them but they've been going for a long time (edit: wow, since 1957 it seems!) and traditionally have had a decent reputation in the UK.

I've personally paid for their print magazine and more recently online subscription for brief periods when wanting some analysis on a couple of important purchases, and found the information to be useful.

> Most programmers work for a wage. They don't own the software they write - their employer does. Whether or not their employer is rent-seeking does not affect a programmer's income.

Their wage is paid from the income made by the employer. If the employer doesn't have a business, these people have no work to do. Hence, no salary. We can go and discuss that, sure, they can have another job. But as it stands today, if the employer has no business, they would have no job.

> What if my friend paid a person or two (not 50) to write the software for him?

He's free to do so and there are people who will happily take this up and write the software for your friend. There are people on GitHub who will do this for sponsorship.

> There are many alternatives to common proprietary software, and the number of alternatives gets higher with each day.

Indeed. Which is great. So why are there so many people out there who still prefer paying for proprietary software and are happy to do so?

> You seem to be stuck on the argument that "without proprietary software, programmers will not get paid".

No, it's exactly the opposite. I'm saying: there's free software and proprietary software. Some people select free. Other, for whatever reason, select proprietary. It's cool, both sides make sense. What's wrong with that? Let the people choose what they want as long as they're happy with their choice. That's exactly why I pointed out the dogmatic approach to "Proprietary software is immoral in general", especially the "in general". What I'd find okay to be immoral, is forcing people onto proprietary software. But as long as people have the choice? Let them be.

Unless your able to go off the grid on land you somehow own freehold without needing taxes and subsistence farm without need for any greater wealth than that land you are using… or you can forage freely in the wilderness as a hunter gatherer … then it’s hard to argue that life is truly without some basic level of coercion.

It’s tempting to consider it a reduction to absurdity but it’s not really. Society in most places around the world has obligations that require us to do things. It’s coercive. Not in a deliberately malicious way but in an apathetic, conformity sort of way.

I recall the K-9 developer needing additional funding in the past, so this is great news for that project [0]. In addition, I'd much rather use "thunderbird" on mobile as an extension of K9, since it has thus far been my favourite mobile client. Work in the most recent years has been wonderful, and it's a pleasure to use (although I've vastly cut down on mail on mobile because hey, a keyboard is better).

Overall, this seems like it makes a lot of sense. Hopefully this will mean that the shift to supporting a mobile client won't detract from the good stuff desktop Thunderbird is doing as well.

I think a hosted mulit-tenant CI platform appears fairly simple on the surface, but there's actually a lot of complexity under the hood when your product is arbitrary code execution as-a-service - and you want to offer a smoother user experience than something as general-purpose as a container runtime.

Especially when you throw in a large and generous free tier.

Any discussion about wind power that does not discuss how electricity is generated when there is no wind is meaningless. Wind power alone won't power a data center, unless it can be turned off whenever there is no wind.
And given the current prices for fossil fuels, I wonder how wind power can be so inefficiently used that it won't lower the electric bill, unless the data centers are already using electricity from other sources.

> I think you've now answered your "is this hard to do?"...

Did i buy the product "as is"? If it is an open source product then i agree with you, the product is provided as is. However, in my mind this is not the case with a commerical products.

When I buy something, whether it is software, a car or a a washing machine i have a contract that outlines what i am buying. If the product contains bugs/manufacturing defects/etc. then i expect the manufacturer to either fix those or refund me. In many countries this might even be legally required (Look for Gewährleistung/Produkthaftung in German speaking countries).

I am not asking for features. I am not asking you to make the product better than what I bought. I discovered a defect that was caused by the manufacturer, not obvious at the time of purchase and as such the product does not match what i ordered from the manufacturer. I am asking you to provide to me exactly on what we agreed upon in our contract. If a developer cannot handle that and wants to distribute their software "as is" that's fine, but that will result in my willingness to pay being lower.

If I buy a product I expect that product to perform as was promised. If it does not and the manufacturer refuses to work with me then it's a breach or contract.

Edit: Re-reading your comment I understand the confusion. I’m assuming Tether, if it were a bank, would function and be regulated like the Trust Department of a bank.

It's a bit slow to use with a touchpad. I'd suggest being able to drag from any highlighted letter to an adjacent letter to add it (and more) to that word and maybe being able to drag from any highlighted letter (not vital for connectivity) 'inwards' to remove it (and more) from the set (where sensible). The whole delete-and-select menu is a bit clunky, in comparison. You can always highlight invalid words differently.
