+1, this was essential for me while living abroad. Even if they did allow access (e.g. PayPal), I’d have to jump through hoops to verify my identity. Easier to just turn on a VPN.
On a serious note, it feels worse in every case that the end of your life is in the hand of an external actor.

Best case scenario you can do what you want and deal with whatever urge you have at your pace. Worst case scenario you don't have agency, and just stay stuck suffering instead of dying. Personally I'd take the chance.

That's one, but a bigger one is accessing out-of-region media.

Most (all?) streaming services are geo-locked, and do not contain the same libraries in different markets (if they are available at all.)

So VPNs are a common way of accessing streaming which would otherwise be unavailable.

While this is "piracy of a sort", it does imply an actual paid subscription, albeit in the wrong territory. So its more-honest than the alternative (plex etc)

So people with Android where sideloading has been a normal thing for many years have been dangerous? Could they harm other people by creating their own app and installing it on their Android without paying anyone a yearly subscription?

It used to be normal in the past that people would OWN a computer and they would run ANY software on it. Why should we allow a greedy company like Apple to change that? Both android and ios implement sandboxes and apps can't gain complete access over the device in most cases so I don't see any security benefit.

I think there isn’t enough _funding _

Funding needs to come first then extra scientists if budgets permit. The problem in immunology as far as I can see from a close onlooker perspective is there is less and less funding. Staff get by on meagre wages, hoping to hold onto their role as budgets get cut and grants get smaller.

Very sad state of affairs.
Dissidents should use Tor (best done in a RAM-only environment that’s not running on their own computer) and not fuck around with VPNs because it’s go to jail or worse. There are countless ways for someone, even an expert, to hang himself using a VPN.

Both fusion and fission release energy when they occur. Which seems somewhat weird to me. Is it the cases that the reason a stable atom has less energy than the sum of its parts (as you pointed out) is because it gave off some energy during the fusion process?
Apparently we’re in the minority together. Cynically (and practically) there’s also the legal side to think about. If you cause a person to be killed by a trolley, you will at minimum be sued into oblivion. If you do nothing no legal case can realistically be levied against you.

Edit: a fun part of the trolley problem not really explored here is how inconsistent most people’s logic gets when the outcomes are effectively the same but the actions are slightly different. For example, what if instead of pushing a button you had to shoot the person on the tracks? What if you could kill someone today who is going to shoot up a mall tomorrow? More fun, what if you could push a button to kill a millionaire and redistribute their wealth to save 100 families in subsaharan Africa?

Logically, as soon as you go down the path of actively choosing to kill a person to achieve some “greater good”, you’ve really thrown an awful lot of morals out the window.
Encrypt the files and then use backblaze, reasonably priced cloud hosting. With encryption the nature of the files are irrelevant.
Unfortunately, these days fingerprinting is pretty advanced, a VPN offers you almost no protection.

Even tor, if not used very carefully.

The word 'battery' has a broader and more nuanced meaning than you seem to think; I would also not call this a battery, but only because it is a single facility. I would however call a two of more of them a battery.
That is often to save people you know and care about, not complete strangers.
>If you don't pull the lever, you're not responsible for what happens, at least in my opinion.

I disagree. I think there's some point at which minimal effort from you for appreciable reward for others puts an obligation on you. And that's precisely the reason the trolley problem is so popular.
I took it as simply 1 full life expectancy vs 5x remaining life expectancy of a senior citizen. Put a few more older people on the tracks and I'd pick the other switch.
And the limits that could be imposed on cars are to prevent people from crashing and killing others and exceeding the speed limit.

I don't see the difference, they're both valid reasons to reduce speed.
This is a wonderful comment! There is missing descriptions of things, the quality, the metrics to use when describing such things and we, the users of those said tools end up spending a lot of time going through bad documentation and learning things by practice. For a trade that pushes the digital frontier to everything it touches, the learning is surprisingly analog.

I was just thinking about this exact topic less than an hour ago.

We seem to be slowly reaching a consensus on various best practices and tools, and it's obvious which ones are winners and will be here to stay for the foreseeable future, despite the inevitable churn. There will always be discussion (and disagreements) on how to make things better, and when I was less experienced, I (ironically) used to be way more opinionated on the best approaches, but over time, after witnessing the evolution over the years, it always comes down to one core tenet: choose the best tool for the job. Even this isn't purely objective, as it can vary depending on your individual circumstances, time constraints, and the people (and their skillsets) available to do the work.

I've always imagined a future where almost anyone can quickly assemble high quality applications (both software and hardware) to meet almost any human need. We're seeing this trend with all of the low-code/no-code tools popping up, but to take it up a notch, it will probably require some standardization of tooling and practices. I think this is the next phase of our technological evolution and would be a great solution to the author's request for "more better web apps".
Mostly agreed. But in another society that values the wisdom of their elders, then they could see that as a large loss. Where-as the baby is replaceable with very little cost to society. I wonder if the stats would be different in an Eastern society.

We should at least consider the possibility this is just a bunch of lowlifes trying to cash in with lawsuits on stuff that is sadly routine in many blue collar work settings.

Since it's Tesla, it garners headlines, and that helps with the lawsuits.

Lawsuits at other blue collar workplaces are boring, so they don't make headlines, don't threaten the companies involved, and go nowhere.

It seems Tesla is being targeted for monetary reasons here. Yes the underlying (if true) behavior is bad too. But the number of lawsuits should not be taken to conclude that Tesla has an especially outsized internal problem. Rather, it has an outsized spotlight.

None of this is to defend rude behavior in any workplace. But I doubt Tesla is particularly special except for the headlines aspect, which increases the potential viability and thus the number of lawsuits.

Of course that means it would behoove them to do more to address any behavior issues. I have no reason to think they are interested in perpetuating such behavior.

Shameless plug: I wrote about all these schemes in Chapter 14 on post-quantum cryptography of Real-World Cryptography https://www.manning.com/books/real-world-cryptography?a_aid=...

These are meant as a gentle introduction to the ideas and intuitions behind the schemes. The book is recent but some of that stuff (hash-based signatures) I started writing back in 2015 and is available on my blog: https://cryptologie.net/article/306/one-time-signatures/

At the time the schemes had not yet been chosen, fortunately I picked the right ones :) don't have to rewrite that chapter (yet).
Isn't that a good thing? Like I'm a full time firefox user but what you're saying is "Google and Apple will fund development of web browsers/engines that support new APIs to outcompete each other"
While I largely agree with you, and respect your opinion on these matters, the truth is that Dual EC was indeed a standard of the NIST, and therefore as a practical matter did get deployed by the public in whatever ill-informed manner for not having your elite cadre advice (yes, joking).

I appreciate the point about trust in the authorship of those presenting these algorithms, and I personally do accept it, but there's a lack of trust broadly (in the very community that these standards are intended for) in the process that your comments don't account for in this instance.
I was poking around a government website one day, noticed a security issue, later showed someone that vulnerability I found, this person proceeded to poke around with the website for hours (unbeknown to me) without causing any harm. A few weeks later I had the somewhat local police take a lot of my belongings and charge me with a multi felony crime. I had to pay an attorney 10s of thousands of dollars to basically have the whole thing go away. Now I have a felony arrest record that I still have pop up on background checks even 10 years later.

If I would have been using a VPN, I think the barrier would have been too high for the local police to do this on their own. According to the warrants, the local cyber investigators literally emailed comcast and they just sent them over my physical address.

With a good VPN, I think there would have been some red tape or at least a few more hurdles to complicate the situation.

This probably isn't the normal use case... but I now try to use a VPN, not because I'm doing anything nefarious or that I think it's truly anonymous. I just know it will raise the effort required to ruin my life in this same way again.
> Nix is also going to install the 1.6gb of dependencies if you don't already have them installed, like for example if you are a KDE user.

Correct. I prefer having those 1.6 gigabytes of dependencies handled with the rest of my system packages, rather than having them fragmented across separate package managers. I reckon most people would also prefer that, if given the choice.

> I don't think anyone said that flatpak (or any other package manager) is a solution to every bug in the packaged program and libraries that could ever possibly appear.

Flatpak is floated as the solution to this precise problem: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/3787

In fact, the situation is worse than it seems: Flatpak was used to apply an esoteric GTK patch that prevented text from rendering correctly. Instead of fixing the internal issue with GTK's text rendering, their official suggestion is to just uninstall everything and use Flatpak so you can get their monkeypatches. We're coming up on a year of this issue still being unaddressed, and apparently their workaround doesn't even work anymore.

> That's unfortunate, if you want to help out you should report those bugs in the individual packages and try to help fix them

Frankly, I don't. I personally don't see Flatpak lasting very long, and I'd rather contribute to projects like the AUR or NixOS that have a longer legacy of stability and more reasonable responses to legitimate community concerns.

> It is because previously, GNOME did not have anything like the file portal, and without that any fix would result in a lot of code duplication while still being bad for other non-GNOME users of GTK.

The file portal is bullshit, and contributors like the one in the parent thread goes to show that they don't give a shit about people who don't use GNOME. Frankly, that reflects a lot of the attitude I've seen from their contributors over the years, so it makes sense.

> You can still report them and just exercise some patience, no developer has time to address every issue instantly.

I'm not waiting 23 years to put a tiny preview of a photo in my file manager. I moved to KDE as soon as libadwaita hit stable repos, I don't have the patience for GNOME to "get around to it" while working on projects like libadwaita, Wayland and Flatpak, technologies that almost nobody else in the community has a need for or cares about.

> What leadership? Power over who?

It's about patterns of behavior. GNOME's developers have been gaslighting community members and other projects for close to a decade now, to the point that I see their contribution as overall hostile to the Linux community (Linus Torvalds calling GNOME a "waste of CPU cycles" famously). Nothing they build unifies the community or takes pointers from their criticism anymore. When I try to imagine the Linux desktop without GNOME, I don't imagine catastrophe. I think everything would be fine, same as it has been for the 30-some years we used x11 without breaking basic functionality.

You're right on one account, though. Arguing about this with people online is a waste of time, I should have just left it at my opinion and walked away.

> A better idea would be to mandate black-boxes…

https://rislone.com/blog/general/does-my-car-have-a-black-bo...

"If your car is a model from this century, there's a fair chance you do indeed, have a black box fitted somewhere within it. Black boxes have been in some of the major American car brands, like Buick, Chevy and Cadillac, since all the way back to 1994. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been using them to collect car accident data since early in the 2000s. If your car is from 2013 or later, you are almost guaranteed to have a black box. Less than 5 percent of new cars came without one in 2013, and they are mandated in all new vehicles since 2014."

That actually is a good example of what has changed because AFAIK there was no "cancel Reiser" movement or anything of that sort when it happened, just a lot of surprise and some long-running jokes ("MurderFS", https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comparison_of_fil... ).
I was really surprised majority would pull the lever to kill the litterer versus the inaction killing good citizen. I don't consider myself the moral authority to sentence someone to death for such a minor crime. There was a substantive barrier before I would take action but I would take action when it was significantly weighted.

Well, this is like with all slippery slope argument. First they set the speed limit to 70, then to 50, then to 20, then you can't drive at all. So better not let them set any limit?

What this is is just adapting an already extremely regulated field to the new technologies.

Road safety and regulations has massively improved the safety of cars in the last few decades, therefore saving many lives. And yet, car driving is still one of the most dangerous method of transport, causing countless of fatalities every year.

My logic on that particular question was that someone would probably get a new trolley to replace it (trolleys are insured, right?), no matter what I thought, so I let the trolley go.

This is how work is actually done, and my mental model matches how I and my colleagues and yours as well actually work.

I could contort my mental model to make it match how Git works, but it is a contortion that some tool imposes on me.

We work in computing, I would expect everyone's mental models to be computational, not equational - different algorithms with the same result are still different. QuickSort is not the same as Merge sort just because they have the same inputs and outputs.
That's what I think, they are not accurate to the books, or book in The Hobbit's case, but they are good films and I love watching them.
It's a shame proprietary Discord is their only communication option, and proprietary GitHub their only Git mirror. They're even advertising the Discord in the CLI (https://github.com/Jarred-Sumner/bun/blob/e4fb84275715bb4de4...). Also the shorthand syntax `bun create github-user/repo-name destination` is favoring users choosing GitHub above others instead of not favoring any specific Git forge (the best path I've seen is how nixpkgs supports github:u/repo gitlab:u/repo sourcehut:~u/repo etc. to shorthand popular options but not favoring any, while still being flexible enough to continue extending).
