It's definitely been considered because it has definitely happened before (explore the history of Google cutting ties with China for about a decade).

... in response, Google took measures to prevent that category of insider-knowledge attack. With audited builds, zero-trust internal model (xref BeyondCorp), and infrastructure cross-checked by multiple human beings to guard against hardware-level attacks, such an insider attack is infinitesimally probable now.
The worst part about this is that there are plenty of other companies that contract with the police with similar incentives and collusion.
I don't think arguments of the form "If I wasn't doing it someone else would be" are very persuasive.

Especially given that in all likelihood Google is much better at it than them.
Not much to say. Pass the 608 (home hvac) or 609 (automotive). Buy the refrigerant at supplier. You can buy an expensive R134a refrigerant recycling system like the one I own for 609, but you can also use a less expensive refrigerant recovery system that's functionally a vacuum pump with built-in manifold gauges and a tank or just a vacuum pump, manifold gauges, and a recovery tank. Easy fixes are on YouTube. I am looking into setting up a refurbishment service for broken AC electronics. To me, it's just a motherboard and I can fix them with my soldering station.
SWR does basically the same core thing (query, cache and mutation help) with less features.
Libc being just a library is indeed one of the ways that Linux is unlike Unix.

In the dystopias that were realized in practice mostly autocensorship.

Let's say you have 1 in 1000 chance of going to Gulag and 1 in 20 chance of losing your job if you say something bad about Stalin. Will you risk it? Will you promote a guy that openly talks bad about Stalin? He will get into trouble eventually and your career will suffer in turn. And so on. 1% is enforcement 99% is fear.
In the PRISM disclosure of 2013, the slide deck stated that the NSA had direct access to Google's systems. The deck claimed "collection directly from the servers". That, by its very design, goes around all the safeguards people are discussing here.
I think the downvotes are because your description doesn't make any sense. Can you rephrase the scenario to better describe what you mean?

Are you saying "Someone carries out an arson attack, they (the attacker) leaks clues to their (the attacker's) identity when gloating about it on social media, and those gloat-posts find their way to law enforcement?"

How does that scenario relate to Google data retention? Google data retention has nothing to do with Twitter policies.
Nuclear energy bad. No fix. Trust me. Must not try again.

CMD badly needed replacing. MS needed a new shell language. A functional company would connect people with a passion for X with the resources to achieve X, if X has a chance of helping the company.

There is a reason behind the usual in court phrase of "..tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth...". So, if a third party would get copies of the data, it would be true Google deleted it...It just not be "the whole truth".

Oh I get it. That is why I used scare quotes.

But you said yourself that you don't know what will work and what won't.

You say that the answer at the end is largely irrelevant, but then claim that there is only a couple of good solutions in the problem space, implying that people that don't pick those good solutions will be rejected.

Either your position is not coherent, or there is a communication deficit here.
There is data supporting what you write. The longer a man and woman has known eachother before starting dating, the less picky women get in regards to how physically attractive the man has to be according to a statistic that was looking at relationships.
Pretty sure they mean the AST is a DAG
Closeness comes from sheer amount of time spent together. I'm talking hundred+ hours just to get a new friend. Relationships beyond that require even more time.

Random dates are not the best way to fall in love, you want repeated interactions. People who you hang out with socially all the time.

This is why church/work/school have been traditional ways to find a partner. Lots of time spent close together talking and getting to know someone.

Odds are you aren't going to find yourself super duper into someone after one date. You need to do an objective judgment to see if there might be potential (good personality fit, right stage of life, etc) and go on a 2nd and 3rd date, preferably longer events, a day at a water park, skiing, whatever, just really spent time together.

Relationships can take months of interactions to blossom!

Source: I used to run a startup dedicated to helping people make friends and build long lasting relationships (non-romantic), all the research out there says the same thing: time time time!

Oh btw "love (lust) at first sight" is evolution's way of tricking us into spending lots of time with one person, thereby allowing a deeper relationship to form. (Or not in the case of people who just seek new relationship energy all the time)
It isn't clear from the conversation so far: do you use "--checksum"?
Why would they intentionally sabotage their profits? They're acting in the interest of the company. Any concern for the user stops at the doors of the PR department.

They're doing their best to fight off governments from snooping around in their business, but ultimately this will require regulation if we ever want it to stop.

It's just a shame that governments are kind of interested in the same data these companies have, so there's really no incentive for anyone to change things.

We're living in Orwellian times.
Sorry to be blunt but it seems that you might just be too picky. The few men you found attractive may have been "out of your league" and just trying to hook up. They ghosted you when they understood you were looking for something different. And they may have skewed your perception of what is really attainable. Have you tried dating men that you would consider a bit less attractive? Older men? Divorced men? etc. Attraction isn't always instantaneous and can develop over time if you give it a chance. As an encouragement, you do sound intelligent and kind. Good luck!

(But the previous was not being sold for profit. Some things should be done simply to say "Fuck you" in the strongest possible terms, and money taints that.)
Oddly I find that the longer I know someone, the less likely I am to be attracted to them in that sort of way.

>will depend on governments putting in place robust policies to ensure safe and sustainable operation of nuclear plants for years to come – and to mobilise the necessary investments including in new technologies

So, basically it's fine and it works but it's only economically sustainable if you unload the a dumptruck full of taxpayer cash on the industry.

These would be subsidies that solar, wind and pumped storage could definitely use to boost capacity/production but not cash that they need just to exist.
Aside from the performance implications being very real (even today, the best first step to micro-optimize is usually to kill/merge/right-size as many allocations as possible), up through ~2015 the dominant consoles still had very little memory and no easy way to compact it. Every single non-deterministic malloc was a small step towards death by fragmentation. (And every deterministic malloc would see major performance gains with no usability loss if converted to e.g. a per-frame bump allocator, so in practice any malloc you were doing was non-deterministic.)
Point to point transit at the time when you need it.

If I want to get from A to B at 14:00 and can do that in 30 minutes by car, but the only bus that goes there requires me to change at C, and it takes 20 minutes to get from A to C, 20 minutes to get from C to B, a 10 minute wait time at C, and the connection happens every 30 minutes and isn't perfectly aligned with my schedule, I'm now facing the choice between 30 min by car or over one hour (including the wait time at my destination because I had to take an earlier connection) with public transit. Add a 5-10 minute walk at each end to account for the distance between the nearest stop and the start/destination, and public transit can take 3x as long.

If there is a van service that gets me there in 40 minutes at a time of my choice, that's a much more acceptable option.

This may also consist of a car first taking me to a tram/bus stop a few minutes away that gets me more directly to the destination.

The van service also solves the problem of those few-percent edge cases where regular public transit just doesn't work, which force people to get a car, which then gets used even for trips where public transit would otherwise be acceptable (but not great).

For me the web, granted with an ad blocker, nowadays feels snappy. Some pages are indeed bloated but ironically these sites are more often than not the types with nothing but regurgitated blog spam.
Even with my first broadband connection I remember the web to be a lot slower in the past. Actually sitting and waiting for images to be loaded in line by line for example.
I do agree that webpages could go on a diet making our current situation even better I do believe the feeling of a faster web is an false memory out of a nostalgia of a simpler time.
The UCRT has even been present since Windows 7, if users keep up with updates. Or if applications bundle the UCRT installer with their own.
last night I checked my billing page on sr.ht and there was a line chart that had "11.2%" to indicate that currently 11.2% of users are paying...there was also a redline at 13% which I assume is some sustainability threshold

sr.ht is a nice service that allows some premium features like ssh'ing into ci instances to check failures...there is plenty worth paying for

Checking your plumbing and drainage? What do you mean? What would you do weekly that involves this?

Lawn maintenance is maybe one or two hours a week at most, and that is mainly because we like to keep it pretty tidy. Then again, we would have needed to do similar maintenance (in the UK) for a rental if we wanted to keep the same standard for the garden.

Thank you! That is extremely helpful.
It isn't mandatory. I have never actively linked against MSVCRT on Windows. From my experience it's mostly software that isn't built with Visual Studio that uses MSVCRT, or software that that takes extreme care of its binary size (e.g. 64k intros). MSVCRT is not even an up-to-date C runtime library. You wouldn't be able to use it for writing software requiring C11 library features without implementing them somewhere on top of it.

It's true that you cannot just happily pass pointers around and expect someone else to be able to safely delete your pointer - but that is why any serious library with a C interface provides its own function to free objects you obtained from the library. Saying that this is impossible without MSVCRT implies that every software needs to be built with it, which is not even remotely the case. If I wanted, I could build all the C libraries I use with LLVM and still link against them in my application compiled with the latest MSVC runtime or UCRT.

The much bigger problem is mixing C++ runtimes in the same piece of software, there you effectively must guarantee that each library uses the same runtime, or chaos ensues.
At one point MS was very keen for people to use MSI's rather than building custom installers that jam things into system32. Perhaps that was why.

If you've played OOT64 before, I highly recommend watching the original twitch video (linked above by
clarkrinker) before reading the theclick.gg article or watching any of the explainer YouTube videos, for the experience of seeing the beta content revealed in real-time.

If you've seen any video game glitch videos with arbitrary code execution before, you can probably skip ahead to 13:07:30 if you want to save 10 minutes, past the intro and glitch setup where they're giving some basic background about how it works.

After watching the video, in addition to the explanation videos that others have linked, you can check out this official FAQ from the showcase creators: https://gettriforce.link/faq

Well, of course Elon thinks there’s too few people - the population isn’t high enough to raise pressure to get people to Mars or work for Tesla or whatever he wants done this week. Not for a second do I believe he cares about humans as humans instead of us being resources for him and others like him to somehow monetize.

While we are not approaching the carrying capacity of the planet, the population has exceeded our logistical capabilities or at least our logistical willpower. There’s too many people who live in abject misery while a few successful ones have entirely too many resources to hand. If we work on reducing population through attrition, then we might force the haves to spread out some wealth in order to get their wants.

As someone without descendants, and who will never have descendants, of course, I’m biased. But I also don’t think I’m wrong.
My issue with this article is that it misrepresents a bit the people in the #3 tier, particularly those of pre-IPO companies.

Sure, there are people who join such a company and make 1M when they IPO. But that is a one time event, and the engineering equivalent of winning the lottery. Once you prorate that by the number of years worked, the risk of failing, etc. it doesn't look as attractive.

It was in the past. At first msvcrt.dll was the runtime library used up to Visual C++ 6. Later, VC++ moved to their own separate dlls, but you could still link with system msvcrt.dll using corresponding DDK/WDK up to Windows 7.

I'm also not sure that this is just ancient library left for compatibility, some system components still link to it, and msvcrt.dll itself seems to link with UCRT libraries.

Much as this is innovative I cant help but notice there isn't any insulation in these homes.

Sure, you have 6inches of concrete, but that just makes it more expensive to build.

From what I can see, its probably cheaper and quicker to pour ICF(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulating_concrete_form). They are basically uber insulative, super quick to build, and support multiple floors in one pour.

The only way I can see the "3d" printed approach being either Eco(cheap) or Eco (earth friendly) is using doing a rammed earth/adobe system. At least then you only really need to dig up earth, power the machine, and boom, you have walls.
