> The lack of enforcement for digital goods is largely the result of there being no technology to proof ownership in a digital world. Hard to force companies to adopt a thing that doesn't exist. That's exactly the hole that NFT could fill.

The real world actually doesn't run with needs so hard and firm. A stat dec is nothing more than a signed sheet, and can "prove" any statement in a court of law. This isn't a case of the technology lacking in proving ownership. We already have all of that, legally speaking.

The reason this idealistic world does not exist, is simply because the distributors do not wish it to. In digital distribution, you don't distribute an existing item, you copy it. Thus, first sale which transfers something, cannot be enforced. They control distribution, they prevent undue proliferation.

Proving that you own something is not the problem at hand. DRM is not integrated into all of these platforms to prove ownership of an item. They are to prevent someone else becoming the distributor.

Which means that... Coming all the way back to square one... When the distributor doesn't distribute... You can't do anything. Sony have already acknowledged that they are cutting off owners. They are aware of ownership. NFTs don't add or take from that, they serve to fill a purpose that is already filled. Owners are acknowledged. Owners access is being removed.

I mean to be completely fair - this is not their job. Driving instructors are there to keep everyone on the road safe - first.
Aren't Reason and ReScript different languages? It's confusing which one they're talking about here.
Cetaceans have a unique call. Contextually is that a name, a locator or an identity? They're not the same.

I'd say this is call by value not call by reference, or call by name.

That the call is matrilinially informed was interesting as was urine as a determinant.
I don’t think it’s an attack.

I’m in Canada at the moment with my UK SIM and using Rogers internet just fine. Completely unaware of any problems until my friends warned me about needing cash and I then double checked and still, phone internet via Rogers on a roaming SIM worked fine.

My guess is their voice, sms etc all are IP these days which was impacted by their BGP issues. Whereas my UK carrier roaming gives me a UK IP still, unrelated to Rogers advertised blocks.
Pragmata Pro is not a publicly-licensed font and can't be embbeded in such a site. Are you aware of Iosevka however?

It is a similarily ambitious project. The glyphs have several variants and you can get some variant sharing many features with Pragmata Pro.

I asked once for a very specific Unicode character, which was added in the following weeks.
Ah, I see. I think you are correct on that one. One could even say 'banner blindness' was was caused google to be successful in the beginning. Then, after a decade or so, people also became google ads blind. As a result the google ads became increasingly more like organic search results, until now, where you almost an't see the difference.
> But in the early 90’s, nothing like this existed on the web. The concept, however, was not unheard of. Archie was a system that used crawling to help users find FTP files, and is commonly known as the Internet’s first search engine.

There's also Veronica - a play on the Archie comic strip - which crawled gopherspace. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veronica_(search_engine)

But I actually came here to mention a different sort of search that existed around 1994 or so.

Someone had a modified version of Mosaic which would crawl and search all documents which were one or two links away from the current URL.

That is, if you are on, say, https://thehistoryoftheweb.com/how-we-searched-before-search... and did a search for "Veronica" then it would look search that page, and then find and follow all of the links in the page and search them. And even repeat for another link.

This would help if you remembered that you found X connected to Y, and while you can remember X you don't quite remember where Y was.

> At the time, NCSA was best known for Mosaic, later Netscape Navigator, later Mozilla Firefox.

Their own link says that "Netscape’s browser was a complete rewrite of Mosaic. ... The newly formed company didn’t have a right to any of the code that their programmers wrote when they were at NCSA."
The fixed wheels, plus the bevel create a self-centering effect.

As the wheels move off centre, the bevel makes one wheel have a larger effective diameter and the other wheel a smaller effective diameter. Because the wheels have a solid axel, that forces one wheel to start travelling slightly faster than the other, causing the pair of wheels to turn.

With the bevel making the wheels larger on the inside, it means that as a pair of wheels drifts right relative to the tracks, the right hand wheel rides up, starts behaving as if it’s larger, and then starts to overtake the left wheel (which has ridden down, and behaves as if it’s smaller), creating a turning effect to the left, correcting the rightward drift.

When setup correctly, and travelling at a reasonable speed, the big metal lip on train wheels should never touch the track. The self-centering effect does all the work, the lip is just a backup to deal with overly tight turns, points and extremely slow running.
Expensive is relative. California HSR, mostly above ground, is going to cost $80 b for the section scheduled to be built (119 miles) and if the full 500 mi arrives at the current $105 b we'll be lucky. Gotthard Base Tunnel was 35.5 miles and $12.5 billion equivalent.

So the best case is $210 million / mile for the CA HSR and the Swiss already built a tunnel for $350 million / mile.

It looks like they can dodge the topography by building at the cost somewhere between close-to-best-case American rail and worst-case American rail.
This is one of the reasons I like the Fujifilm X-trans sensor. It’s raw output always feels a bit warmer and more ‘natural’ vs a typical Bayer sensor.
> What the heck are drivers ed instructors doing?

Dinging me over their interpretations of ambiguous driving laws, if my experience is any indication.
Not as I understand it. I think of it as: A and B were correlated, and now you caused B and C to become correlated. That cannot possibly imply that A and C's correlation dropped to zero.

Or if you prefer to think of balls; if A hits B, and then B hits C, then C's future trajectory is still (forever) affected by what A was doing, as is the trajectory of anything else it hits.

Sadly it's not settled in large part because many physicists have stopped caring about more fundamental interpretations or explanations for QM. "The theory works, the math checks out, so we're done" -- and we're left without a really satisfactory explanation for why or how it works.
Auto-muting new users is not the issue (every reasonable video chat software does this). The problem is that in Zoom you have to "join audio" before hearing anything. I guess they do this since you could in principle also join the call by phone. Anyway, this behavior is extremely confusing for inexperienced users.
It's clearly a joke. Perhaps you've sold to too many enterprise customers?

Trains are incredibly expensive. Both making the lines and using them.

Judging by HS2 it costs around £200 million per km of track.

And it also costs around £0.5 per mile to use and door to door travel times are generally 2-3x higher on public transport.

Trains are NOT a solution.
Kubernetes is for making said tech people rich, not for running the 90s style forum web app that said tech people like to use.
That’s actually a brilliant assertion (sorry for the crap pun).

The majority of developers I work with are only aware of the success paths of their code. That means we’re knee deep in exception corpses because they avoided doing part of their job.

Go makes them deal with it.
My 2 cents, it will good to have an objective way to evaluate such badges. I think the biggest problem with labdoor was that their grading criteria was not transparent.
Perhaps because it's not actually about the bots, it's about buyer's remorse and trying to get out of the transaction via some excuse.
I don't pay near that much. We gave ours a dollar per(2018 dollars), which she didn't much care about. So we switched to a small ice cream cone per, which she was much more excited about and about the same price. But she always has known mom was the tooth fairy.

One of the few times in my life I've ever been in a fistfight was as a child over a lost tooth. A kid being a bit too rough in a backyard game knocked my already loose tooth out, and after stopping everything, I couldn't find it in the grass and went ballistic at the prospect of not getting a visit from the tooth fairy. Throwing kid punches while screaming about the tooth fairy.

It's one of those cringe/embarrassing moments that pop up in your brain for the rest of your life.

I'm pretty OK with the spirit of Santa Claus, but the idea of lying to kids about mythical creatures doesn't sit well with me, based on how fooled I felt later.
How does Go handle allocation failure? In my understanding objects may be allocated on the stack or heap per the compiler's whims. If a heap allocation fails, you just get "fatal error: runtime: out of memory" and an abort.

Not when it was founded, your argument was that it was exceptional since it was founded on those principles but it wasn't. USA gave rights to black people and women about the same time the rest of the western world did, they weren't ahead on this.

fun fact: Juniper, Cisco and Arista passwords are "encrypted" like this when you list them in `show run`. it's designed to make shoulder surfing slightly harder, I guess? but like, you can also enter passwords in their encrypted form, so it really doesn't guard anything. and it causes operational screwups, since ops assumes it's actually encrypted and safe to share, when it's literally on par with Barbie typewriters.

Of anyone wants to see what hunting looks like, then watch a video of the London DLR.

The DLR has very tight corners, and was originally built on very tight budget. As a result it uses very steeply bevelled wheels to handle the corners.

The wheels do a great job on the corners, but on the straight they suffer from significant hunting, resulting in the trains wobbling side-to-side (and slightly up-and-down), at a rather alarming frequency and amplitude. Not quite enough to make you sea sick, but it’s pretty close.
When I was in mobile gaming we stored that data for way longer.... Do you really think twitter is throwing away user activity data?

> I'd assume it takes more than 5 minutes to bring up a complete copy of the HN database on a different platform.

Hmm, that actually makes me wonder about how big it would actually be. The nature of HN (not really storing a lot of images/videos like Reddit, for example) would probably lend itself well to being pretty economical in regards to the space used.

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.

In practice the link speeds will vary (a lot) based on what hardware/hosting you're using, where and how you store any backups and what you use for transferring them elsewhere, if you can do that stuff incrementally then it's even better (scheduled backups of full data, incremental updates afterwards).

Regardless, in an ideal world where you have a lot of information, this would boil down to a mathematical equation, letting you plot how long bringing over all of the data would take for any given DB size (for your current infrastructure/setup). For many systems out there, 5 minutes would indeed be possible - but that becomes less likely the more data you store, or the more complicated components you introduce (e.g. separate storage for binary data, multiple services, message queues with persistence etc.).

That said, in regards to the whole container argument: I think that there are definitely benefits to be had from containerization, as long as you pick a suitable orchestrator (Kubernetes if you know it well from working in a lab setting or with supervision under someone else in a prod setting, or something simpler like Nomad/Swarm that you can prototype things quickly with).
Porsche and VW in 2008 if memory serves well. Almost ruined Porsche. Or Schaeffler and Conti, which almost ruined Schaeffler, a private company at the time.

> Tunnels are extremely expensive

Are they though?

When you consider the price of infrastructure, you have to take into account the period over which the investment will be used, the speed of depreciation and the benefits over time.

In an American way of looking at things, where everything has to give a return on investment quickly, these might not make sense, but in a Swiss perspective, where folks typically think two generations down the road, the immediate cost may be high, but amortized over 60 or 80 years, it is peanuts.
I'm betting that for the money Musk is in for they will go with that option though, and considering all the side effects that would probably happen if Musk just said 'No' - he would have to be a level of stubborn that borders on mental instability.
This whole article and their filings avoid using percentages, specifically because it’s misleading at their size. Absolute numbers make more sense.

Regardless, “this is not the first time Twitter reported erroneous metrics around users” is the problem with them.
Switzerland has an extensive network of railways, so I would see underground tunnels useful for last mile delivery within cities but not for longer distances.

Actually no, it's more likely he'll look for the cheapest way to chicken out of this, as long as Twitter allows him to

Depending on the development of the stock market former Twitter shareholders might end up owning Tesla and / or SpaceX, at least partially. A field day in deed.

Indeed, and if there's one thing the Swiss are good at, it's taking very ample time to carefully plan and consider costs and risks.
When you have a judgement you can send it to collections, but often people just don't pay these things. It's really hard to collect for even small things like evictions.
It really doesn't here IMO. They can both afford top-tier legal teams.

Delaware courts are known for dealing with these sorts of cases rapidly - there isn't likely to be any opportunity for dragging it out for years.
Who was the original owner of the Tesla brand? Where did the idea for battery powered cars come from? How did Elon get listed as an owner of PayPal? How did the folks who worked at X.com feel about Elons leadership? What about after the PayPal acquisition? What was the primary method of profit generation for Tesla during the early days? How many years has FSD been floated for exactly?

If asking these questions and judging based on the answers to them is irrational, I’m happily irrational.
I think it is implied - I mean why else would one be fearmongering about big bad Microsoft?

The server? - The vast majority of the server market runs Linux - including much of Azure. Likewise there's no presence of Windows in the handheld market (I'm not sure if this counts as a win for Linux, since Android is barely Linux).
Recently, an Airbus A380 just continued to fly for 10h+ with a torn exterior like it was nothing. Boeing have failed to make use of a 2+ years (!) Covid-induced grace period to fix a plane that was apparently designed by accountants and MBAs rather than engineers.

It is time to stop putting profits over people's safety and call an end to this debacle.

Swiss here. Not an expert on the project but AFAIK the idea is to reduce the impact of transportation on the surface.

With globalization and population increase, the need for point to point logistic is going to go through the roof in urban areas in the next years.

Currently this translates to having more trucks on the highways and roads, as our rail wail system is close to saturation already. Not to mention our road are really small compared to US (ie: highways are two-lanes per direction). This creates a ton of air and noise pollution and traffic jams.

This new transportation system should absorb some of the goods traffic and hopefully scale country-wide in the future while sparing the environnement at the surface as much as possible.
A lot of core products in FAANGs (e.g. Search at Google) are written largely in Java. They're quite performant, esp. for the scale they operate at. Also, FAANGS are very mindful of performance, because at their scale, it translates into gigantic infrastructure costs. They wouldn't be choosing Java if it had poor performance. On the other hand, Python is/was banned at Google for anything performance-sensitive.

Specifically for serving requests, lack of firbers/green threads is a killer for Java (you will be outcompeted by languages which have fibers, such as Scala), but it's still miles ahead of languages which don't even have full-blown multithreading (i.e. without interpretet lock), such as Python.

It’s not being an actual circle line means it’s not as attractive to homeless people. You can’t just fall asleep and just ride in circles, you get up periodically and change trains now.
yeah, I was excited to revive Homestuck's interactive parts, but they were all AS3. I hacked around with Ruffle to see if I could add enough to get them working, but at the time AS3 support was an empty skeleton.

have they gotten some AS3 working? if so I might revisit.
That would be a helix, not a circle.
So if Twitter wins Musk has to go through with his margin loans on Tesla stock. Ehich, at the current state of things, exposes to quite some risk of loosing tge ability to back up the loans with Tesla stock if share prices drop under a certain level. Maybe he just realized that risk and that's why he wants out.
So is this securities fraud? Also, I’m guessing if he sold any stock he’ll go down for insider trading since he knew he was going to bail right? So either he’s in for a huge loss as the sale falls through or if he sold he’s in for a huge fine right?
I mean outside of the 1b penalty of cause.

Toronto's streetcars and subway trains also have a unique gauge, but all new lines built and about to be built will use standard gauge. Extensions to the existing three subway lines and the streetcar network will continue to use the old gauge.

The agreement have a massive out; yes it doesn't matter what Elon thinks about the bots but if his financier think bots are an issue he gets an out since Twitter for some reason let a financing clause in.
I don't think Elon is trying to get out of it, he's got 2 goals:

1. Buy more time until stock market (i.e. Tesla shares) recover
2. Renegotiate the price

Either one will probably mean he goes through with the deal. If he is under litigation for a year so be it, once the stock market recovers he's sacrificing a lot less of tesla to buy it.

It's a big IF though. If the US recession gets really bad and the Fed stops interest rate hikes, the market could recover very quickly. But equally if Powell wants to go the Volcker route, Elon is fucked probably, the market won't recover for years.

And in the meantime Elon's reputation I think is taking a massive hit. And I think a lot of his new political allies on the free speech side will be extremely disappointed. He might end up with no friends on either side.

So he is taking a big risk here.
