There's a material analogous to permanent magnets for charge... called an Electret. They are one of the reasons N-95 masks work.

A while back I changed my search engine's crawl data to be ZSTD compressed JSON. It's a bit finnicky to work with, but I'm beginning to realize just how powerful this is.

Could literally just do

find -name \*.zstd -exec zstdcat {} \; |
jq 'first(select(.doc|select(.!=null)|.[].headers|select(.!=null)|test("[xX]-[aA]dblock-[kK]ey")))'

and it spewed out samples of domains with a header like X-Adblock-Key. (I'm not great with JQ, so there's probably a better way of doing this, but this unga bunga approach works too)

Specifically, today I did some research on a few tags and headers supposedly associated with "Acceptable Ads" (a standard for showing ads through complicit adblockers), and ended up with a fairly reliable fingerprint for a network of domain squatters that have been a nuisance in my search engine database. Turns out they're basically the only ones that use the headers and tags I was looking at, so now I'm onto their IP-ranges as well.
In my mind, premium is significantly better than open-ended free to play monetization. Subscriptions have been used for kids platforms before (e.g. Club Penguin), so it's not some new emergent evil. Roblox incentivizing games to treat subscribers better (and paying them for it; there is a subscriber playtime earnout) is also, arguably, an attempt to push the whole platform toward subcription revenue rather than casino style free-to-play revenue with the whales, addicts and so forth. The more worrying thing is that they might try to support both models, one is clearly worse than the other.

I think it's a problem that invites our cultural biases more than we realize. If you see a baby falling from a second floor, and you can easily catch it but don't because you dislike babies, is the baby's death your fault?

> What is the benefit of end to end encryption in this scenario?

Let's say I'm talking to my bank. Is there really any information that you want open? They're going to ask you security questions to confirm your identity. You're likely talking about specific sums of money.

Let's say you're talking to your doctor. Is there really any information that you want open? Are you violating HIPPA and privacy laws just by talking? Your health is of no concern to anyone but you and your health provider. Full stop.

I mean, they use these two examples in the post. The use case is pretty clear to me here. The risk isn't your service provider spying on you, it is anyone that you aren't intending to talk to. A hacker (who may be interested in your bank or health care). A state actor. Abusive ex. Data companies that extract every bit of information they can. Or politicians who want to track your period. Maybe this isn't useful when I'm submitting tickets to wandb, but I can see this being very helpful when I'm talking to my bank.

If your local park is full of bums and needles and the predator registry map around it looks like it has chicken pox, absolutely going to a different park is the reasonable strategy.
This article seems to want to paint the government as at fault for the spread of the disease. Then this line appears further down:

"In San Francisco, B, a 43-year-old medical writer who asked that his name be withheld for privacy reasons, found himself shivering uncontrollably with a high fever on June 14, eight days after he had multiple sexual encounters at a bathhouse in Chicago"

At this point in time Monkey Pox is a known disease and the fact that it is highly transmissible via male on male sex is a known transmission vector. If people insist on engaging in high risk sex with multiple partners while a communicable disease is running rampant, at what point does it become their responsibility? HIV is still a thing too and people continue to engage in this high risk behavior.

I see no reason why if people just eased up on the high risk sex with multiple partners for a couple of months that this disease would not return to dormancy. Virtually all reported cases have been traced to this transmission vector.

There is only so much government money and resources to fight diseases, this one seems like low hanging fruit that the affected community could solve with some leadership, personal responsibility and group effort.

The safety of any power source projects past performance onto future performance. This is a tautology, and not really relevant as we have 80 years of experience and nuclear provides 20% of US power. It provides almost 40% of Canada's electricity. 10% of the world's electricity. We have plenty of samples necessary to make an informed projection.

The direct cost of produced energy is very low with nuclear - super low. Just ask Ontario. [1] There is a large cap ex cost at the start, but you can amortize it over 80 years - whereas solar and wind has to be replaced every 20-30.

Nuclear prices in all externalities in its cost assessments due to the onslaught of attacks whereas other energy prices in almost nothing. Coal kills about 100 people per TWh, and at the same $9M NRC cost, coal should cost about $1/kWh.

No, they won't. Even in developed countries where having children is financially manageable, people do not want kids. Less than 2 on average. The wealthier, the less kids. It's a consistent international conclusion.

When people do not NEED kids to survive, they'll have few or even none.

> This is not because of some innate character of Americans, it is because of specific state policies and subsidies.

I would argue it's more because auto manufacturers wish to streamline their production lines. Body-on-frame is very flexible and allows them to re-use most components across different products.

The marketing departments then produce Television ads questioning your masculinity if you don't drive a vehicle based on a commercial truck frame. Suddenly "it's what the customer demands".

I know this will get downvoted into oblivion and I'm not defending Microsoft, but....

I'm symapthic to your plight but you named your product based on 2 common nouns. It'd be like someone making a restaurant called "hamburger" and the complaining that others are confusing people because they sell "hamburger".

If you're starting a new project/product and don't not want to end up here you should probably pick a more unique name. Examples. Python, not 'scripting-lang', "Firefox" not "browser" or "web-browser", "gIMP" not "Image-editor", "mongodb" not "database" etc...

And I know someone is going to nitpick that "Python" is just a noun but in context it's got nothing to do with languages, computing, etc. so it works as not directly describing the product in ways that others are likely to use when the come out with a similar product.

This isn't a good idea organizationally though. What matters is the performance of the system, not the performance of its parts, this is kind of a systems 101 lesson.

If you build a car and send each team off to find the best parts in isolation and screw them together, you don't have the best car, you likely have something that doesn't even drive, because the parts don't fit. The performance of a system is in the interaction of its parts, not the sum of the performance of its parts taken individually.

Teams can never operate independently because it only ever makes sense to improve a part if it improves the functioning of the entire system. The whole problem with the microservices approach it that it optimizes the wrong thing.
If you think Linux Desktop is in decent shape, your hardware choices must line up with those of your platform maintainers. Good for you -- but your experience will be very far from universal.

Some Ubuntu LTS highlights:

Ubuntu 14: By default, Dell display backlights toggle on/off 30 times a second
Ubuntu 16: By default, BIOS boots broken due to boot files landing in too high of a sector
Ubuntu 18: By default, Solid State boot drives break because /dev/sda was hardcoded
Ubuntu 20: By default, Bluetooth and fans broken. Never fixed. Sleep broken but fixed.
Ubuntu 22: By default, NVidia graphics get 100% screen saturation after install.

"Then don't use Ubuntu"

Ubuntu isn't my daily driver. It isn't even a majority of my installs. I'm using it as a benchmark for conservative linux choices because smaller distros tend to be worse, not better. I know this because I daily drive a less popular distro, and I also distro hop for fun, and these all tend to be worse, not better. Besides, many hardware and software vendors target Ubuntu, and "works on Ubuntu but nowhere else" is a very common problem. Across the board, the Linus Tech Tips linux experience is the rule, not the exception. Many desktop linux users just have selective community-enforced amnesia.

Look, I am super thankful for the maintainers. I have gotten so much more value from them then they have asked in payment, but Linux is nowhere near Windows in the "just works" department. That is to be expected, given the price, but the rhetoric has gotten out of line with reality. Desktop linux still has a lot of rough edges and new rough edges appear at a rate that is not converging to 0.

"It works if you buy dedicated Linux hardware."

Yes. This is how you make it work.

To be clear, the word you're looking for is "eugenics".
The "good guy with a gun" theory is that having everyone armed will prevent violence because the murderers will fear lethal punishment. Evidence shows this to be false. Many murderers either are not thinking that far ahead or are suicidal. So the net result is that more of the populace can exercise lethal violence if their inner moral governor fails -- they're drunk or irrational or having a bad day or whatever. So we have a lot more gun violence. Sometimes, rarely, a good guy with a gun cuts the violence short, so we have one more body, but societies with fewer guns have less gun violence. That is empirically true. It is the absence of opportunity, not the fear or punishment, that reduces gun deaths.

What I don't understand is why anyone would think this would be different, or why anyone would continue promoting this theory when evidence, logic, and common sense show it to be false.

There, I've laid all my cards on the table. I'm completely candid. Now explain to my why I'm wrong. Show how I'm willfully ignorant.
I can’t get my head around that though.

I agree to split into services where “you’r have to do that anyway”.

But adding services where part A of the monolith needs to use part B where a library would do the job seems odd.

I'm really tired of the implied narrative around the Netflix-Chapelle-Trans debate being that transgender people are insisting that 'The Closer' be removed from the Netflix platform. That was never a request of their ERG. In fact, you can read the specifics of what they asked for here: https://www.theverge.com/2021/10/18/22733098/netflix-trans-e...

The overall theme of what they were asking for was around harm reduction and seeking equal time (and money) for trans-affirming content. Demanding that any art that offends you be eliminated isn't something that a wise person would broadly argue for, and that argument wasn't being made here.

>it already solves real problems.

That's not true though. Crypto currencies do not solve any real problems in any meaningful sense. The problems it solves are all either problems that were created by crypto itself, due to the insistence on using that particular network architecture (which isn't even good), or are better solved in other ways. Moving to proof of stake fixes one of the fatal flaws in the scheme: the energy usage. All of the other fatal flaws still remain: The inability to do anything about fraud, the disastrous security of smart contracts, the ponzi-like economics, the inherent unfairness of mining/staking, the practical lack of decentralization and vulnerability to 67% attacks, the lack of any kind of legal structure around anything whatsoever, and not to mention that the technology is actively enabling new kinds of crimes like ransomware and evading sanctions on a grand scale...

It's patently obvious that the "tradeoff" for most people is that you get to gamble on the price of a highly speculative asset in exchange for enabling massive amounts of crime. I don't like that tradeoff. As a society, we can collectively decide not to make it.

I prefer iGPU solutions as well (primarily for better battery life, less potential driver issues, and hopefully weight savings) but one thing you tend to lose is cooling headroom. Most of the iGPU only designs end up with single-fan single-heatpipe cooling for U chips designed for 25-35W of heat dissipation. As a point of comparison, the Asus G14, which has a 6800H allows you to get up to 75-80W sustained CPU on its Turbo setting! https://www.ultrabookreview.com/53935-asus-zephyrus-g14-ga40...
