The US shouldn't be thought of as a homogenous place. There are parts of the US -- most of it, geographically, as far as I can tell -- which are basically indistinguishable from their Japanese counterparts in crime rates and levels of social trust. Almost every good thing you can say about a Japanese town is true of a (smaller) American town, and vice versa. I've lived in nice places in America where crime was shocking and essentially not heard of; I've also lived in places where some lunatic with a screwdriver threatened to stab random passers-by six times before breakfast, and the police just sighed and took Philip McStabbins to jail overnight for the 262nd time because the DA wouldn't prosecute.

And that's the thing, isn't it? America is mostly super-low crime, but for some reason we have a dysfunctional criminal underclass that just won't go away. Japan seems weird to us because theirs is smaller than ours (and often held in check by Yakuza higher-ups with calmer heads.) Why do US cities have so many neighborhoods where you Do Not Go, while almost all of the US has no neighborhoods where you feel even vaguely unsafe?

It seems especially egregious without data since you could claim covid fatigue or higher risk behavior after the introduction of vaccines also caused upticks.

That’s why Wayland has XWayland for seamless backwards compatibility with X applications? That’s pretty much the equivalent of a PA sink in PipeWire.

I don’t see how your supposed compositor/window server hybrid would solve any of the problem of the past - what would even be the task of wayland there? It would be what kde plasma does with its compositor.

One could argue the US has already fallen, and guns are the only way we are going to get it back. Of course, that’s not a popular opinion, but try to take guns away from the citizens and it will be.
this was the industry I worked in for over a decade and your comment comes off as someone that doesn't know the economics. there have been many, many articles of people in this industry showing that SpaceX cannot sustain this burn rate without major changes. their capacity is nowhere near the cadence they said, they're not keeping up with demand (in a bad way), and the ISL is not working yet. so far they've been fortunate to win rdof money, but for the amount of highly paid engineers they have it won't last long enough.

your post only has "what ifs", but none of that is working yet, and coastal coverage isn't going to win contracts with cruise ships and real customers.

This is pure cringe. There is plenty of hiring going on with priorities above being the best person for the job. Look at the current Vice-President of the US for example.
Guns are now the leading cause of death for people under the age of 24 in the US (and have been for several years). Yes, they exceed motor vehicle deaths.

Narita is pretty much why all sizable international airports in Japan since then have either been converted from military bases or built in the sea on artificial islands, because neither involves land appropriation. And Narita still has a farm that wasn't appropriated in the middle of it. https://i.redd.it/zrftut6xrws31.jpg

What's interesting is that flights are actually now relocating back from Narita to Haneda, which was over capacity at the time, but Haneda has since added more capacity.

On this note, most of California's problems come from a populace that apes left wing ideology while acting right wing when the rubber hits the road.

"Black Lives Matter but not if they have to build housing next to me" is a California meme.

See also Prop 13, a tax revolt, being the crux of a lot of California issues.

While government services can certainly be more efficient and cost disease is rampant, we first have to agree that the government should be providing the service in the first place (which we don't, countrywide)

> you can easily lose security by rolling out controls that aren't relevant to your environment but require you to add attack surface and operational overhead to mitigate vulnerabilities that you don't have because you don't share printers or run Windows Server 2008.

Can you talk about that more concretely? I'm sure there are many cases where compliance requires you to consider a risk that's not relevant, but it's hard to imagine that thinking about each risk and taking appropriate action (which, sure, in many cases will just be documenting why it doesn't apply) would damage one's security.

At the end of the day any list of potential risks is going to be imperfect, and some will be more imperfect than others, but I'd still think that the vast majority of the time you'll get a better outcome by engaging seriously with a given list of risk factors than by treating it as an exercise in doing the minimum. If you were trying to do security from the ground up without any regard to compliance you'd ultimately end up doing something quite similar - coming up with a big set of risks and then figuring out what you're doing about each of them - and sure, you could probably start with a better-targetted one than what SOC2 has, but that sounds like a matter of degree rather than being so different that you can't get any shared use out of doing those things together.
I’ve had my Jetbrains account for about 8 years. It’s been that way as long as I’ve had it. When did you get yours?

Edit: grammar
We could start with "if someone keeps telling people they're going to shoot a bunch of people, they can't buy a gun" and go from there.

Requiring training, background checks (no loopholes), an interview and a license would also be a good idea, though it requires a bit of care in implementation.

There's a few things that are pretty close to harmless to moral gun owners but would reduce the incidence and severity of gun violence.
Another commenter here mentioned that Starlink user terminals include a GPS receiver, and report their coordinates back to Starlink. That'd create an alternate vector for locating maritime users – exfiltrate that position information from their servers.

I had a hard time finding confirmation of this online (lots of hits about Starlink potentially being used _as_ a GNSS), but one of the photos of this teardown of a terminal highlights the GPS receiver: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/12/teard...

Funny how that worked. Bugs called him Nimrod, a great hunter, sarcastically. Everyone today uses it to mean stupid/inept in any situation.

Akin to one day, Einstein being known mostly as meaning 'idiot' rather than a physicist.
+1. Let’s regulate all the things!
as mentioned previously, I worked on exactly this for 15 years, and I also don't understand how people with knowledge of the industry believe SpaceX is going to be profitable on starlink without some course correction.

nobody is debating that a under-provisioned service can be great during the honeymoon phase. but this won't last. they're strapped for cash and these enterprise plays are purely to keep afloat while the consumer business is burning cash
Surely there are more palatable examples of countries without guns than China and India.
Yeah, like the guy that went off his rocker half a year back, and burned 30ish people to death in his psychiatric clinic.

Or the other guy that was probably the inspiration for that and burned down the Kyoto animation office (34 deaths).

Not all of them are pretty mild.

To be fair, not a weekly event like in the US either.

Yasukuni Shrine isn't only for WW2 criminals, but also for who died on previous wars. As a Japanese, I don't think it's bad to go to the shrine unless denying historical fact or praising criminals. It's uncomfortable that foreign countries blames about that. Maybe WW2 criminals shouldn't be buried at the shrine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasukuni_Shrine
Lol the fact that random people have guns has nothing to do with US dominance, and it’s not random people with guns that will protect the US in an exceedingly unlikely armed conflict on US soil, it’s the army - which has no shortage of funding. Unless you’re saying that random armed people are going to defend against a coup from our own army - doubtful. Hypothetical “defense” at what cost? Mass shootings every week is worth it?
The most expensive medical treatments don't allow you the luxury of shopping around. And how is the average American going to pay back a millions of dollars loan?
The question was simply “can something be done?” Not if it could be done in the USA. Of course, we have to put up with more dead classmates because someday we might use those guns to defend ourselves from a tyrannical regime (or much more likely, a civil war amongst us, like almost happened on 1/6/21).
I've definitely enjoyed working at companies without them more than at those with them. I'd like to meet one that actually seriously added value as I think there'd be a learning opportunity.
What if you have a good lighting setup and your camera isn't attached to your monitor?

I do video calls with a SLR connected to my laptop, so the screen isn't directly in front of me (it's about 15 degrees off centre, to the left of the camera), it's further away than it would be if I was using the laptop's camera, and the LED lights more than overpower any light coming from the monitor. Seems like this would assume I'm fake since it wouldn't be able to project enough light on me and it would be coming from the "wrong" place if it could.
"Is an understatement". You are probably right. When I think a bit more of when I have opened huge monstrosities of Spring boot apps then it is quite slow. But for small projects I think it is "okay" and very feature rich.
Integer scaling has already been implemented and doesn't result in pixel-snapping artifacts and broken text rendering. I fear that fractional scaling will result in exactly this, similar to CSS 1.0.

The OSX solution is the only one that will avoid insane complexity at all levels (protocol, compositor, and client), and as demonstrated by OSX, can work fine in a mixed-DPI environment.
For me CML is probably the nicest concurrency thing I know. It might not be as general as the actor model, but is much nicer to work with.

What made me look into it was an interview with Mike Sperber where he said that CML was usually the first thing he implemented in a new language so that he could get work done.

And if it makes the wrong decision in this case, it will cause consumer harm.
How do you imagine that to happen? I could see more self-guided and technology-driven learning work well for older kids, but not for even young teenagers. The kids at that age lack discipline and a lot of subjects start it quite boring (basic reading and spelling, math doesn't get fun to several years in, rode memorization in there beginning for foreign language studies etc). Many kids will find ways to distract themselves from that without supervision. We've seen that parents providing that supervision for remote studies doesn't work in many cases
Fraunhofer is an institution in Germany positioned between universities and the industry. They provide applied research and license it to companies.

For example mp3 was mainly developed there. They hold many patents in the field of audio and video coding which obviously fund parts of the organization.

More recently, they established a new audio codec for Bluetooth LE under proprietary license which in my opinion does not have any advantages over OPUS.

At the same time not all of the criticism is fair because they are not a patent troll and anticompetitive in their license agreements.
Amusingly, they didn't call it ApplePi and instead went with their (in my opinion) less intuitive name.

Anyway, I wonder how long before someone can get OS X (macOS?) to work. I'm sure the early big cat OS requirements are within the capabilities of beefier Pi units. I fondly remember making my first Hackintosh and accidentally wiping my Windows partition. If it can be done for only $40, very cool!
The concept of “fake it til you make it” gets roasted a lot in relation to Theranos, but the media has it wrong, IMHO. That phrase doesn’t mean lie about your manual (or whatever - commercial analyzer) process until you figure out how to do the thing you are trying to get to. It means to OPENLY fake it, with the understanding by everyone involved that the “fake” process on the path towards the vision. It’s OPENLY FAKE IT til you make it, not LIE til you make it! If they had been open about the stepping stone use of third party analyzers (and other similar behavior), none of this would have happened. They might not have made it - they were running out of $ - but at least they wouldn’t be going to jail!

The guns are for when the pen doesn’t work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangladesh_Liberation_War

“The situation reached a climax in 1970, when the Bangladesh Awami League, the largest East Pakistani political party, led by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, won a landslide victory in the national elections. The party won 167 of the 169 seats allotted to East Pakistan, and thus a majority of the 313 seats in the National Assembly. This gave the Awami League the constitutional right to form a government. However, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (a former Foreign Minister), the leader of the Pakistan People's Party, refused to allow Rahman to become the Prime Minister of Pakistan.”

That is a far stretch when a few items are produced by the state to call the society/state a communistic construct. Especially when California hosts so many very capitalistic companies.

They intervened in a disfunctional market and take care of their citizens. That is what a state has to do for their citizens.

What's actual security? Looking for zero days? Malware research? Continuous red team?

I think at the end of the day, SOC 2 aims to instill a basic level of organizational security so the company doesn't shoot itself in the foot. If a company can't genuinely follow a basic set of SOC 2 controls, can I trust them to do actual security?

Also, badly written checklists might be bad, but not all checklist are bad. Pilots use them. Doctors use them. Mechanics use them. In fact, most fields that involve critical life or death operations use them. Why? Because humans have a limited memory and tends to miss critical tasks all the time.

Practical Tip: Learn how to do a "swaddle" wrap with a blanket around your infant. This is a kind of "burrito" wrap that cocoons their body. For us it was a damn-near miraculous way to calm the "crying for no reason" (ie when all the usual things like feeding and changing, etc are done).

The explanation is that the sensory input from their limbs flopping around stresses babies out because their brains can't integrate it all yet. Wrapping them up in a secure little bundle and rocking them gently can change things instantly. I learned it from this book (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/0553393235) but you can also just search the "The Five S's" technique and get the general gist of it.

> especially in this bold, brazen world we are living in where there are so many unknowns.

We pulled out all the stops to make sure we were doing everything as perfectly as we could for our kid from reading the best books to taking classes and getting all the best tools. We worried over every little detail. Now that our kid is a vibrant teenager and we're nearing the end of the child-rearing roller coaster, my perspective is different. I now understand that much of that worry and stress over every little thing didn't really matter. The reality is that the average healthy baby is incredibly resilient.

While we were raising our kid, we had some neighbors raising a baby just a few months apart. While well-intended, their approach to parenting was haphazard and uneven compared to ours - basically the bare minimum of care and nurturing compared to our obsessively researched, peer-reviewed, best-practice focused, metric-driven maximum efforts. Today, both our kid and our neighbor's kid are doing equally great. The moral of the story is do what you feel is important but don't stress over every detail. In the end, the difference between "okay" parenting and "maximum effort" parenting probably doesn't matter all that much. Just relax and try to enjoy the journey.
Yes, windows has an app store now. Still, I wouldn't trust any app store, look how many Android or ios apps are compromised. And npm libraries have been compromised. App store "vetters" just can't find all exploits, it's mathematically impossible.
So a standard for interoperability developed with 'patent ceasefires' saying party X won't sue party Y if both share their patent portfolios with one another is considered to be anti-competitive behavior? In the US this is fairly common among tech companies that perfom this sharing under FRAND terms with one another, and saves a lot of headache in avoiding litigation.

The most popular existing codec AVC/H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10 is owned by the MPEGLA group with ~5500 active patents[0] in its portfolio, and the royalty sharing agreements[1] involved are free in small volumes yet become expensive at scale. A multi-tier fee structure for both hardware OEMs (think like the MPEG-2 license fee on the raspberry pi) and video distributors (Netflix et al) exist, where several large tech companies decided to band together in order to create a codec which isn't at the mercy of paying these license fees.

However, Sisvel wants to make their case against AOMedia's goal of a widely distributed free codec and extract up to 32 cents per device[2] based on their pool of a couple hundred patents[3] for both VP9 and AV1 codecs. We'll likely see this go to court and possibly drawn out over a long stretch of time if FRAND terms aren't able to be agreed upon between these parties.

Having a uniform royalty-free standard would be a net win for everyone involved- chip designers can add in an AV1 encoder/decoder without paying a license fee, software companies can freely encode & distribute AV1 videos, and end users have access to free video editing tools that wouldn't need to pay MPEGLA/Sisvel either. The alternative is waiting for the patents to expire and continue rewarding the rent-seeking behavior of NPEs/holding companies created to extract value at every possible step.

Live-translated press conference, starting in 4 mins: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/live/

EDIT: Delayed a few minutes. Given Shinzo JUST arrived at hospital, they're likely seeing if he's coded before announcing.
Update from NHK:

The apprehended suspect is identified as Tetsuya Yamagami (41), a Nara resident. According to sources from the defense ministry, he was employed by the Maritime Self-Defense Forces for ~3y until 2005. Weapon seems to be homemade.

No updates on Abe's status since a 13:30 update from the local fire department. He's injured in chest- and neck areas, has internal bleeding and did not show vital signs.

14:40: PM Kishida arrived at the PM residence by helicopter ~10minutes ago and is currently in discussions. A press conference is expected soon.

14:46: Police: Suspect Yamagami says he was frustrated with what ex-PM Abe was doing and approached him with the intent of killing him.

14:49: Live announcement from (a doubly understandably very sweaty and intermittently sobbing but surprisingly composed) PM Kishida: Abe is in critical condition. Hopes and prayers. Elections are ongoing. Unforgivable act. Doctors are working hard to save Abe. Not appropriate to address the political situation at this moment and I am not comfortable to do so. Cabinet members convening in Tokyo and work to be ready for any outcome. I do not have full information to be able to make any further detailed comments.
