Dark matter: Review suggests time to ditch it in favor of new theory of gravity
Can you elaborate? I'm interested in having an emergency radio which can listen to (and send on) frequencies I'm not allowed on, I have no intention of transmitting on the prohibited channels, and I have a Baofeng. Is there some obviously better radio I should have instead, and why?
3DMM was a lucky one, because Microsoft and Foone managed to get sign-offs from the rightsholders of third-party code utilized.

Not even Windows 1.0x, 2.0x, or 3.x got open-sourced. In terms of complete operating systems, we got source code dumps of MS-DOS 1.25 and 2.0, and that was that.

I don't think it's going to happen.
true, the middle ground ~dsl approach is probably how to do thins in lisps and in general but .. maybe I'm lacking maturity still.
I'd say superdeterminism is an even stronger version of global hidden variables
I’d also like to be able to mark some as favorites and the filter by that. As I scroll through trying different options I want to remember the ones I liked best as I narrow it down from 111 candidates to
something more manageable.
> Assuming a link of 1 Gbps, ideally you'd be able to transfer close to 125 MB/s. So that'd mean that in 5 minutes you could transfer around 37'500 MB of data to another place, though you have to account for overhead. With compression in place, you might just be able to make this figure a lot better, though that depends on how you do things.

Ideally, all this data would have been already backed up to AWS (or your provider of choice) by the time your primary service failed, so all your have to do is spin up your backup server and your data would be waiting for you.

Thanks. This scenario makes sense. Logto now uses Docker image for deployment. We didn’t tested Logto in Lambda yet, but will do.

For SAML or other identity auth methods, we’ve designed “connector” protocol which enables you to easily connect arbitrary identity providers.

Permission and automation are the two of main topics we’ll focus on in the next half of 2022.

Also we’ll provide deployment guides for the mainstream cloud services.

Your needs are very practical and reasonable. Really appreciate it. Would love to connect via discord or email. Cheers.
I think the parent means that a system in which anyone can delay the payment of otherwise legitimate financial claims through an extremely protracted legal process is generally not very business-friendly. Of course, it is friendly to businesses that do not want to pay their liabilities, but on the cost of all the others. What good is a legal system if a company cannot enforce its rights in practice?
This is my go to font - its so easy to look at, and enjoyable to work with!
Doesn’t that apply to all models used by physics, though? All of it is “with what we know right now”. New measurements and new experiments can always modify a constant or an equation.
Didn't mean to imply that was how you felt. My response was aimed at the mentality @naikrovek was stating, which is definitely a wider held belief in some communities.
It's almost like these things happen pretty regularly, so it's easy to find examples that correlate...
Fun fact: essentially all of the described exploits are entirely dependent on dynamic linking, which is something no sane modern OS should support. Thanks Drepper!
The result looks beautiful but there are too many surprising magical actions for my taste. E.g., I wonder how "Last year MIT handed out 104 degrees to wombats." would be rendered.
This is a very uninformed opinion of how Linux works. I'll post a few random notions, because there's a bit too much to talk about.

Linux has, because of legacy reasons, a more complex than required clipboard concept. Because of this, different apps may use it in different ways, and have unexpected behaviors. Some applications (I think, but not sure, Libreoffice) may lose the clipboard content when closed. The very fact that one needs clipboard managers to workaround the base clipboard behavior is proof that Linux's clipboard implementation is not working (from a user perspective). And beware that clipboard managers may have unintended security issues (I'm positive some do), ie. storing user data on disk (copying confidential information to the clipboard is inevitable, and you do the maths).

Bluetooth has been historically broken. Bluez has been poorly implementend and documented. Here's an old post: http://www.bennybottema.com/2010/08/08/how-ubuntus-broken-bl... it's old, but the situation has been bad for a very long time. As of Jul/2022, at least some (potentially all) Ubuntu distros ship with a broken pulseaudio/bluetooth configuration by default; a bug has been opened for a couple of years, and has been ignored by Canonical.

File managers depend on the graphic toolkits used. Applications that use different toolkits will display different file managers, and for example, they won't share bookmarks. This means that you open an application and bookmark a directory, then other applications, and the bookmark is not displayed.

Telling the user to change applications because of problems of the operating system is nonsensical.

It's the same mechanism as a short squeeze, just with the roles of stock and cash swapped. There is likely a specific word for that, but the comparison works.

Squeezed short sellers have an obligation to get a specific stock, but only have cash. There are not enough market participants willing to sell the stock, so the price rises astronomically to their disadvantage.

Elon has an obligation to get cash, but only has $TSLA stock. There are not enough market participants willing to buy the stock, so the price drops enormously to his disadvantage.
That sounds so fantastic. This would be a great productd for a startup. Just a small box, USB-C powered, which performs these easy simple tasks, but absolutely reliable and a pleasure to use. Perhaps like 4 buttons, nicely differently colored or labeled, for several rooms. I am thinking, people had never troubles operating their TVs when they just had buttons for a few stations and the volume.

Even as a software delveloper, I would be delighted to use that, for the elegance of the concept and not having to dig through menues, toolbars and whatever else.
> - The only image allowed is Windows. Anything else is disallowed. Those images might be malicious (eg someone somehow stole MS 3rd party cert) or they might not. But not allowing them is more secure than allowing them because you're reducing your risk.

> - Furthermore, saying some images allowed are less secure (ie Windows) than the ones that aren't (eg CentOS) doesn't mean this "feature" (if you can call it that) doesn't still add some additional security. Because (and at risk of repeating the above), this still blocks some additional images that might be a security risk. Hence it reducing your risk and hence it providing additional security from the perspective of defence in depth.

However, that is not increase in security. It is to increase the lockdown. And increasing lockdown is a poor proxy for quantification of security of specific images. It is easier, with that I can agree.

By the same token, locking out Windows images and allowing CentOS images also increases the security, but then the argument would not be about security anymore, but change to convenience of majority.

> If you are able to cite how the short activity of unchecking an additional UEFI option is significant enough to turn people off from the already complicated process of installing Linux then I'd be interested to see it. Otherwise we might just have to agree to disagree.

You had exactly that in the TFA. It invalidates PCR7, thus invalidating the TPM secrets. If the user uses Bitlocker and didn't save the recovery key, he just lost all his existing data by flipping that option.

It is another significant hoop the users have to jump; and it just happens to more complicate Linux usage. Those incompetent Linuxers, cannot make anything user-friendly...

> But how many of those people are buying ThinkPads to install Linux who are not power users?

Many normal users are not thinking about Linux when they purchase their gear; they will want to try it later, once they used the hardware for a while. If this wasn't a case and users would do research ahead of purchase, the majority of hardware problems under Linux would not exist.

> You're arguing against a technical point with an emotional claim of morality. While I completely agree with your point about morality, it's doesn't address the technical point you're trying to argue against.

My point is that it is not a technical issue. It is political issue masquerading as technical one. So a party A designs a system that favors products of party A and it just happens to thow a curveball at everyone else. Color me surprised. Real technical problem would not favor a specific party.

Someone needs to be looking, though.
(Disclaimer: I'm not a quantum physicist and the following is not the mainstream opinion)

Yet, it's just twisting fields together.

The right picture to have is fermions being something like knots on a rope, in a portion of space either you have a knot or you don't. But the knot can be more or less tight, and can be moving and have various shape.

When the fields are not coupled, i.e. when particles are far away, the only stable solutions, have a discrete quantity. These quantities are the conserved quantities that are preserved by the field evolution. Typically they are the quadratic values that the symplectic integrator conserve locally.

When particles get closer, they can exchange continuously some of the quantities between their fields, but as in a game of musical chair, as soon as the particles get away from each other, they must have taken a seat and settled in one of their discrete values.

QFT or quantum physics is like keeping track of the counts of the number of knots on the ropes and model the probabilities of how these values evolve upon collisions. But if you keep track of the rope shape (aka fields phases), you can more precisely predict where the knots are.

The catch-22 is that the rope shape is not observable, (in a similar fashion as you can't observe the seed of a random number generator), so you can't make better prediction using the rope model than you could with quantum mechanic.

But the "answer" to this catch-22, is that even though with rope mechanics you can't compute the probabilities any faster than QM would (as marginalization isn't fast), you can simulate in same compute complexity as classical system a universe that behaves according (convergence in law) to the probabilities of QM.

Eh? VW is aiming for ~800k this year, whereas Tesla is going for roughly 2M? Am I misinterpreting?
I see. What you say makes sense and I agree with it. Technical
solutions to socially rooted problems are skin deep and don't address
the real issues. Good technology won't fix a crap law.

As a Brit I give the police and legal system much more leeway and
benefit of the doubt, they've got a job to do and mostly do their
best. Also, I believe they should never shy from accountability,
hence being filmed by the public, as the police often do to citizens,
is an inescapable part of the job today. And if that gets a bit too
"in your face" then maybe it's time to look for a job that suits you
better.

Nonetheless, the police can no longer lie with impunity against
sophisticated technical evidence. We are all changed by technology and
possible forensic evidence we never thought possible, and that can
keep people more honest.

The police aren't always the sharpest knife in the drawer when it
comes to technology. Here in the UK, Wayne Couzens, the policeman who
raped and killed Sarah Everard, was caught by technical carelessness
that you'd have thought he knew better about.

There is a documented negative effect on returns with private equity deal size. Record-setting leverage really only happens after prolonged low volatility twinned to easy money.
Go tell the lions they're not exceptional. I'm sure they'll switch to tofu.

The argument isn't convincing. It relies on a tired rethorical trick: invent some syndrome, claim it is the basis for something you don't like, then taint the syndrome. It doesn't convince. And in this case, the outcome will be negative: once everyone fully realizes we're just normal animals, why not behave like them? Meat's back on the menu.
Hardware producers, inevitably, produce drivers for Windows first (and possibly, only). This of course doesn't guarantee quality drivers, but does guarantee drivers, which is better than no drivers at all, at least in the short/mid term.

I did have problems in the past due to recent Ryzen and ethernet drivers for example, and using last Linux kernels (or even compiling them) is something that can't be asked to the general public.

Fragmentation is also a very real problem, and it's inherent in Linux. I've discussed in another post about fragmentation of the GUI toolkit libraries problem, which has very visible consequences in daily usage.
I assure you it's enough to display text correctly in 1080p on 15" which is not considered hidpi. You may like hidpi, and that's fine. But let's keep shifting personal standards and what's practically usable straight.
I use it for documentation, notes and manuals and it’s great for that purpose. The fact that it renders out of the box greatly simplifies things, as you don’t need to deal with setting up and maintaining any infrastructure.
I always ask when one of these discussions comes up. Can anyone recommend a for that does all of these:

It makes sense from purely a) founder/entrepreneur perspective which PG normally speaks from. Forcing someone to run a company they don’t believe in is normally a bad strategy. And b) assuming the board member cares about Twitter as an entity beyond the short term monetary gain/share prices. Since most board members are already wealthy and are motivated by more than $$ when taking on the job

Of course fundamentally the question is obviously moot give the legal obligation both from Musk and for the shareholders to optimize payout before a recession, but it’s an interesting thought experiment of whether it’s going to harm them either by going to court and/or having a disinterested owner.

Personally I think regardless if Elon is forced to buy Twitter he’s obviously going to do try to make the best out of his investment (or at least a better product). He’s a poweruser who clearly cares about the product. Can’t be much worse than it already is. His concern is probably just the price not that he doesn’t want to own Twitter.
I find it very hard to believe that they don't have this information graphed on a dashboard somewhere.
Reading Alan Cooper's "About Face: The Essentials of Interaction Design" made a big impression on me; UI work is really fascinating and rewarding, but it is honoured almost exclusively in the breach thesedays. I can understand companies knocking up intranet based applications for limited internal use cost-cutting, but in many cases these are massive corporations rolling out atrocious UIs to the public.

Part of the problem imo is that everyone thinks "how hard can it be?" and that they have good ideas for UI design. They therefore aren't interested in reading Cooper or submitting their brainwaves to even peer scrutiny.
The bar for publication has dropped dramatically in the past two decades
IMO the easiest path is to use a ready-made chat SDK and a hosted service.

But it only make sense if their pricing fit your business model.

Usually such services are priced by number of users and/or concurrent connections. So they only make sense when you're small and very fast can become prohibitively expensive. Then it's a time to implement your own messaging functionality.
The main advantage is that you can write a document, send it per email or check it into a VCS and the other party can immediately see the rich rendered version without having to install anything. I don’t see much value for websites, except maybe for a blog where you want to do minimal maintenance.
Nice idea to shrink "Zukunftstechnologien" down to solar at the end of the argumentation...

It's normal to play the same song over and over again (2016)
Not really a fan of militarism, but WWII had a lot of people working alongside a lot of other people they wouldn't usually spend time with. And a desperate need to innovate new technology and new industrial and managerial processes. So there was unity in the face of a common threat.

Also, GI Bills allowed intelligent individuals to get an education without worrying about debt as well as discounted mortgages and business loans.

That need dissipated after the 60s and there was more emphasis on hedonism and competitive individual ambition. Then in the 80s competitive economic individualism started to dominate everything else.

The result was a classic race to the bottom - with a few extreme winners who are indulged and beatified, a productive but often hamstrung professional underclass, and a huge precariat of economic losers.

At the same time the media landscape started promoting division and tribalism for profit.

So now we have a dysfunctional culture which is unable to cope with challenges like Covid, gun violence, and climate catastrophe because it has been groomed to be more emotional than rational, and the tone has affected everyone from the top down.

Swiss here and my sister does contribute to the CST.

Looking at a few questions: Yes we have a very well working train system (for example a delay of more than 2min is announced). The problem is rather that our infrastructure can’t keep up with the amount of commuters (at least prepandemic).
Secondly nearly every squaremeter is either used for agriculture or very expensive land (at least around the cities). On top of that we have laws to prohibit trucks or trains to ride at night.
And no we don’t have just mountains here, the upper part from geneva to Bern to Basel and Zürich are more or less flat.

All of these with a good expertise in tunnel building are reasons why CST can be a solution… it is just that construction project can take years or 10s of years to get approved and everything moves quiet slowly.

Yes they do, it's called specific performance. It's not the usual remedy for breach of contract, but in certain cases the court will grant it. I believe M&A agreements are one category of cases where US courts are inclined to grant specific performance, but I'm no expert.
> It matters because that will probably be one of the deciding factors should this eventually be assessed in court.

Musk has _not_ provided any evidence of fraud. I'll wait until he actually does before speculating as to how decisive it will be in any future court proceedings.
Which will obviously not even tank the company because clearly everyone sees what the product is and they see what the ad output is (pretty abysmal). So the big reveal is… nothing revelatory.

This theory doesn’t really make sense and is really covering for Musk’s incompetence or a deeper nefariousness: he needed a very public excuse to offload $8B of his TSLA stock without spooking the market, and he’s happy to pay a $1B+ fee to have been able to do that
I watched 98% of the video and really I dont see this as a huge issue, yes it is wrong for the channels to claim in their description that the constructions are done by hand and with less people but given how transparent the cameraman is about all of these things and that they confirm private land is leased for the purposes of filming.

But, I can also see the perspective of some builders in SE Asia coming up with a way to make much more money from doing work they already have the skills to do by filming it and that I think I could forgive the fibbing if they just acknowledged how the builds were done, some of them are pretty awesome even if they aren't hand-dug.
