> No pinging of a central server is ever done

Until the next time there is a terrorist attack or other scary event, and the opportunistic politicians say "We could have stopped this if only we had been keeping these pings in a database, just like we keep logs of everyone's internet metadata[0]. Don't worry, the database would only be looked at by AI, so it's not even a breach of your privacy."

Then everyone is just a single firmware update away from a completely different regime, and it's too late to boycott the app because everyone assumes you have it and requires you to run the latest version. Of course, you could always try protesting, but you might not get very far.[1]

It uses the linux futex api directly, not a user space parking lot as used by the parking-lot crate.
I understand modeling and projecting but it seems like it might be a bit early to claim 'inflation peaked'.
I'm curious about why SCAG has failed to plan for this disaster while the much smaller San Diego county has managed to get a desalination plant up and running https://nyti.ms/3yuTUz4 From what I can tell this is the only desal plant on the West Coast which seems crazy.

Please read who you are replying to. I am not the poster of that comment and said none of those things.
Help me understand... The court which is voted on by representatives asked that the representatives enact the laws of land - their primary stated responsibility - instead of relying on unelected, unaccountable, and whim-shifting bureaucracies to determine law on their own as they see fit.

And this is the court overstepping?
Now you're nitpicking. https://www.proximus.be/ might not support itsme but it does allow login with user name and password.
This is not deep. This is you getting confused about how money works. Nothing you are realizing applies specially to specific money like gold or Bitcoin - it applies to all money and frankly it makes little sense.
tbh NFT profile pictures were probably the most fun part of this crypto run for me.
Wow, I didn't know that, that thing is supposed to be a hub for bats.... Learn something new every day!
Those are river vessels.
They publish a different number of satellites in every single place I have read. Some places they say 19000, some even more.

Guessing that in places where the cost of keeping the constellation filled out is considered, they quote smaller numbers, and for subscribers per satellite, higher numbers.

In America, a home robbery including injury to the habitants, is more common that a whole house fire. I looked this up years ago when discussing gun ownerships with friends, refuting why they think gun ownership is for the paranoid, but yet they all have fire insurance on their homes.

This might shock you but none of those things need ID in most EU countries.
San Diego got its desal plant in the husk of an old coal plant, and it has been the GREATEST thing. We are much closer to water independence than anyone else in the state and not having to listen about constant drought nagging has been FANTASTIC
Any fiber carrier serving that hub locale.
like we (atleast people my age) by default are expected to have Instagram Snapchat WhatsApp YouTube Discord Reddit Spotify Twitter accounts and when I left some of these sources my friends actually questioned me about why I'd do that and some people even told me it was weird and I'll end up giving up material possessions and becoming a "sanyasi". fascinating that becoming a sanyasi is considered bad it actually sounds rather nice to me
Cheap energy, fresh water, arable land/fertile topsoil, a functioning marine food web, functioning boreal ecosystems, pollinators, climate stable enough for consistent agriculture and reliable shipping. The more energy we use, the more CO2 we emit; the more we destabilize the climatic & ecological systems we depend on, the riskier a predicament we place ourselves in.

Given the ~40 years it will take to reach net-zero CO2 emissions, we will certainly miss a good number of climatic tipping points, and the environmental changes which result will add even more pressure to our existing risks. It is only sensible to buy ourselves as much time as possible by reducing energy demand. How do we do that? Well... that was my original remark.
Also, how are we going to invent better bolts if we keep moving our knowledge to the least educated countries?
Sure it does. The most directed RF signal is a wire...
Also worth pointing out that this was clearly designed to benefit a select few shipbuilders - most other countries are fine building domestic fleets with foreign built ships. Which makes complete sense. The issue here is not finding Americans to staff the boat, it's that we refuse to buy boats from Hyundai.
We have voice modulators on the newer CBRN masks. Tiny mike plugs into the inside, speaker plugs on the outside.
Quick Google stats: There are 13M households in California. Average household consumes 0.5-1.0 acre-feet of water per year. It costs $419 per acre-foot for desalination. California has a discretionary budget surplus of $49B.

Thus: It would cost $2.7B-$5.4B per year to provide desalination-based water to all Californians. With the current budget surplus, we could provide 100% of California's living water needs for 10-20+ years exclusively from desalination. We should be building now.
I've observed much of same. (Not sure why you got downvoted.)
> keeps killing desal plants.

and diablo canyon nuclear plant, too.

Desal could be run in a less energy efficient manner that reduced the salinity of the discharge water, but my understanding is that as far as the coastal commission is concerned no amount is acceptable.
Is even that true? Do you mean vessels that can go beyond coastal waters? Do you mean only cargo ships? There are more than 100 Jones Act vessels operating between ports in Florida alone.
Or he ends up owning a ton of it.
We don't need desal, we have plenty of water for people to live here. The vast majority of water goes to agriculture. If we were just a bit more selective in what we farmed, we could reduce our water usage by a significant amount.
It's not unreasonable, however 30 days seems a bit on the short side. I have 15+ repos that I'll need to review. Another thing that would be nice is if the affected sites would be tagged in the Netlify dashboard or mentioned in the email. That would make the review process a bit easier
Woh, I missed this (from that issue thread), "Merged and stabilized in 1.63!"

A large market cap and significant profits don't imply large profit margins. Look at Walmart for example: their market cap is over $300B but their net profit margins are in the 2-3% range.
I personally like the Roe standard, but it was made out whole cloth constitutionally.

Yes that adage is true, but I don’t think that’s relevant in this context, since that’s not the point I was trying to make.

I was offering a specific counter example to your observation that he was possibly hurting those closest to him.

> His puffery essentially hurts nobody besides perhaps those close to him

I think if he was genuinely hurting the people closest to him, like his family through his brash personality, they wouldn’t want to collaborate with him on long, extended projects. Especially considering how old and intelligent his son is.
> CO2 is not pollution. People and animals breathe it out.

Suppose I piss in your drink. Have I polluted it, or will you drink it?

'It's not pollution if it comes out of animals' doesn't make much sense.
While those are needed, they aren’t going to supply a lot of Americans in a time of war.

They may supply money to a few Americans the rest of the time though.
Here in Iran, the slur is pronounced as Kaafar, and the drink as kefir. They sound distinct enough.

Now imagine the economic hit when all the trillions of CA real estate investments drop like it is 1929? That may as well be an asteroid hitting the global financial world.
maybe I'm being stupid, but i'm not seeing the issue here. having your code public means that anyone can copy it and use it. forget about respecting licensing and what not. if you don't want anyone copying your code, you have to keep it closed and not publish it to a public repo. i don't think this is necessary a github issue. I can copy code from any other service (gitlab, bitbucket, self hosted repo) as long as the repo is public.
I think the argument is that there are multiple judicial philosophies that can be chosen from, and you can generally predict what outcomes will result from following a philosophy consistently over time, so a justice chooses the philosophy that results in the outcomes they want. And therefore they could have chosen their philosophy for partisan outcome-based reasons, so consistently following it is no defense to accusations of partisanship.
But you claim some are, so you still need to back up that claim with evidence.

Okay, cool, the majority of Dropbox users I know do not use the product because of speed or because of any IP agnosticism. It's a shame all these users are so stupid and don't use IPFS or bittorrent instead, amirite?
Yes, thank you for demonstrating precisely my point!

The results are r/shitliberalssay, r/conservative, multiple quotes from FOX News, r/roevwadecelebration, r/conservative, r/deplatformed_ (a pro-Trump QAnon crank) and Donald Trump himself....

This is a pretty extreme position. That some inefficiency is necessary for national security reasons is about as close to settled as anything gets in economics/political-economy, though there's plenty of room to disagree over how much.

Well, what are the alternatives?

In reality, we will need a plurality of solutions, coming from tech and policy. Also, this is a website that has a glut of techies, so expect tech-based solutions to be suggested!
In this California native and resident's opinion, California's "social fabric" has been deteriorating for a long, long time. Just add this to a long list of problems this state is completely incapable of mitigating.

Problem is very old and very predictable and not limited to CA.
I'm not a fan of Musk overall, but Starlink is pure gold for us in rural America. Before this, my best option was 25Mbps for $125/mo.

I installed mine about 5 months ago. You really need to put it in a location that has no obstructions for the antenna's oval of coverage. The speed varies a lot but overnight and mornings I get downloads of 90 to 180Mbps. Afternoon and evening the range is 60 to 110Mbps. I measure these speeds myself from actual transfers of large files over the course of about one hour. Now and then I check to see what Ookla - SpeedTest - or Cloudflare report. They never agree with each other, even when running concurrently.

The FCC is not going to use Ookla data. The antennas are self installed. Many will be slowed down by obstructions, bad cabling etc. As mentioned above, many people only test when they have trouble. Once the trouble is fixed the new speeds are not added to the Ookla database.

Viasat is in a sad position. I don't see how they have a future at all. I think they only have two satellites that were launched by cheap Proton rockets. With Russia gone, they would have to pay much more for any future launches. The one thing they can do is spread fear to keep their business afloat a little longer.
It's not one person. If Manchin wasn't there someone else would be the "one person". They're just happy to let Manchin take the fall since it doesn't hurt him politically.

If it was a single person then the democrats would put enough pressure on him to yield - god knows they have the ability to do so. He is toxic enough to their party that it's preferable to have him replaced by a Republican in the long term.
I think it's already happening in New Orleans. At least that was the impression I got when visiting. I think it can be difficult to insure a business or home affordably in the area. Seemed like a lot of storefronts were just empty. Perhaps I just went at a bad time of year (late nov).
Or threatening their fellow reps with gun violence
According the Clean Air Act, C02 is not a "pollutant". The EPA can't just decide that it is, and start issuing economy changing directives - regardless if they are right.

This should be very easy for congress to fix if they want to.
I am curios how much the excess consumption of water influences the low water levels. I do not get the feeling that the inhabitants of California are particularly saving any water. I guess that there is big potential to save water.
It depends on how it's implemented. PoS works by offering a randomly selected stakeholder the authority to update the blockchain. [1] One way this can be done is by requiring stakeholders to deposit a stake with a smart contract that charges negative interest. I don't know how current implementations of PoS work, but this doesn't look like rocket science.

It was very much top-down. Most of the production was nominally done by private contractors, but the federal government forced existing factories to be converted to war production, fronted the money to build new factories, directly built public housing for the factory workers, and fixed wages and consumer prices.
I thought IPoAC only works on the 91st day of each year (or 92nd for leap years)...
Or we could tell the vineyards we need water not wine. Wine makes substantial money for the state but it doesn't make sense if nobody can live in it.

A combination of capacitance that has to be charged, crosstalk and characteristic impedance discontinuities.

The signals move between the cpu and the ram at about one nanosecond per foot. A nanosecond is one full cycle of a 1GHz clock.

The characteristic impedance of the connection is set by the physical size of the pcb track and the dielectric constant of the pcb material.

As the signals move between the cpu and ram at nearly the speed of light if they hit an impedance discontinuity some of the energy is reflected back. That messes up the signal.

Making a connector with hundreds of pins that works reliably and does not cause a significant impedance discontinuity is hard.

The lower the impedance of the connection, the more power is required to drive data through it.

A bit error rate of one in a billion would corrupt data or cause a software crash daily so signal integrity is a hard problem.

Any company that could refine oil faster would be able to make a ton of money by doing so. Do you have evidence for this grand conspiracy? How do you suppose it avoids the usual free-rider problem?

Piling on:

Is copilot really a violation of GPLv3 (our license)? How is co-pilot different from someone lifting sections of code? Lifting a few sections of the code is a world different compared to re-distributing the entirety of the source code, or forking the project and replacing 2 or 3 letters from our brand name & then redistributing that.

I think the article needed to go into more detail about how that really is a violation of a license. This seems like a similar argument that was made in court whether the Java APIs themselves could be copyrighted. Can an algorithm be copyrighted or licensed? If someone uses the same algorithm as found on FOSS, have they violated the license of that FOSS?

Then the reaction, instead of pursing litigation, and/or communicating and working with github, the reaction is we should 'cancel' github and move to.. gitlab? Is that even an answer? If we think algorithms are copyright-able, wouldn't have any kind of code search be a violation? Would allowing for any kind of transcription of code be a violation? If so, then seemingly having the source be open would invite this.

I think this gets to the heart of FOSS in some ways. It's closed for privatization, open to the community, and what matters is the software provided. If someone cribs the project to configure a Feign client, or set up a unit tests with DbRider - it's okay! It's the same thing as viewing HTML source code, learning a cool javascript trick by looking at how some website did that trick - is part of the openness.

I wonder then, is the point of FOSS openness only to allow others strictly to view and edit the code for the purpose of contributing back to that exact software product? Or is the openness more than that, and that others are going to use the software in creative and novel ways, and use it for learning and who-knows how else (all pursuant to GPLv3).
What about the disappearance of Lake Mead?
There is a tremendous amount of wolf crying-- particularly calling for straw-ban-grade ineffective residential water use reductions (esp as agriculture is 80% of the water use). Disbelief is the long term effect of all the crying wolf.
Modern tech also makes it possible to turn arid environments into forests. I would start there. When you do that water starts to collect/accumulate and the area gets cooler.

On 99° days of unbearable heat and sun I can stroll under trees and be nice and cool in the 70°s. I do it all the time.
> Brazil are paying big bucks

This is not a uniquely Apple problem. Blame this on the very high import duties on products imported into the country. There have been a few companies that have just left the region altogether as a result. Nintendo, for instance, completely stopped selling products in Brazil in 2015. They only just last year or the year before started selling the Nintendo Switch there. Still at a comparatively higher price.
There's a reason the mostly unsavvy crypto skeptic hates the idea of crypto improving: they cannot financially capitalize on it.

Every new crypto project claims to be the second coming. There are no stable heuristics which don't get exploited by the next wave of marketing. The only way to make good bets in crypto is to deeply understand what teams are working on and make intelligent judgements.

What broad crypto skeptics don't understand is that every alt-coiner shares their critical point of view, but has the know-how to attempt (or pretend to attempt) a solution to those problems.
And that doesn't even begin to factor in the revenue opportunities from scaling up desalination further for export to neighboring states (most of which are even more arid than California).

I've said it before and I'll say it again: California food and (desalinated) water in exchange for Nevada electricity (be it solar, geothermal, or nuclear) would mutually benefit both states and produce one hell of an economic juggernaut.
I find that he precisely addresses my desires to know about seditious conspiracies to overthrow the government.
It’s funny that you would find seditious conspiracies to overthrow the government to not be in the publics interest, as our government is elected by us.
Yes, true, there could have been some old hardware that was worth using at very high prices, and is now unprofitable so it's off. For certain there is some of that.

Still, I'm surprised the drop isn't more pronounced... like how it looked in 2018
The Aesthetics of Fashwave
You should feel free to decide that a leg is actually a liver; that just makes you silly. As far as the matter at hand goes, though, it's the EPA that has the authority to make that designation (at least until the SCOTUS decides that only it has that authority).
The argument I've been making is that Bitcoin is the equivalent of the Model T; the prototype thing that essentially "proves" the technology can, and even will work, but it won't be the actual thing. It will likely be a different cryptocurrency.
You have to budget in the water for the almond fields as well.
It's probable that the lake gets narrower the lower it is. Assuming a steady removal of n acre feet (a common measure of water volume in reservoirs), the rate at which the water level elevation drops will accelerate as less acreage of surface gets compensated for by more feet dropping.

Anecdotally, the water level is dropping fast enough that you come back 2 days later and it's plainly apparent to the eye without looking too closely. So its dropping some significant number of inches per day, and only accelerating.
It’s not a solution everything buts it’s a solution for domestic water. California ag interests are digging their own graves and I’m not sure what we can do about it.
I disagree that we should build desalination, even if we can "afford" it. There are agricultural users of water paying astronomically lower prices due to long standing water rights. It would almost certainly be cheaper to pay them to conserve (grow less of water-wasting crops, leave fields fallow, or upgrade to more efficient drip irrigation). The urban water use is around 20%, making them pay billions for this 20% makes no sense when the majority of the remaining is wasted on inefficient agriculture.

If we actually had scarce water and agriculture could pay market rate for desalinated water along side residential consumers then we should build. I don't think there are there yet. Maybe soon...
