Does anyone know if this Tesla stuff is FCC regulated? I'd love to think it's a free-for-all, but something tells me that a car key would have a better security model than someone's hearing aids...
Seems neat, but it looks like the major thing is the syntax. Of course c++ syntax is insane and should be updated, but i cant shake the feeling that c++ developers secretly love it. Scanning c++ code for a seasoned c++ developer is like the bushmen of the kalahari scanning the african savanna.
The anecdote above is about police not "protecting capital", stopping a store robber is "protecting capital" as opposed to "helping individuals".
Why an end to economic growth is inevitable
Just use nuclear.
Price discrimination is the name of the game in today's world, and is taught in every economics class.

At some point, we need to ask folk to price goods for a meaningful cost, not the maximum allowable, for better access and a more open market. Money cannot be the only measurement of a meaningful marketplace.
fine I'll not wish shame on people knowing/understanding better, I guess it pays to be more direct and say they 'should be expected to know better' directly if they're able to write/understand at this level
In python you can ‘from foo import bar, buzz’ and get JUST those two functions, without having to prefix them or clobbering your namespace.

This really nice when the one function you need is giantlib.helpers.foobar.convert_baz_to_qux - it’s both less bytes (especially if you are calling it a lot) and more importantly to the next reader of the code it means that c_b_to_q is the only thing you’re using in giantlib
That is a pretty good counter-example, I have got to admit... I'm not convinced, but yeah, you got a hell of a point there.

I think the US in 1938 was maybe in a distinct situation, though... For one, the US in the 30s may have been primed to thoughts of space aliens by the consumption of mass quantities of SF--radio serials, films, books, etc.

Also, the real-world news in 1938 was pretty tense, and very heavy on the specific theme of invasion... WWII was already swinging in the Pacific, and everybody in Europe was expecting the shooting to start soon. Here in the US, there was a general sense that we'd get violently drawn into it, sooner or later.

So I dunno... You definitely moved the needle for me on this one, but I'm still pretty skeptical that some isolated Siberian farmers in the 1960s would go straight for the "space aliens" explanation. Maybe I'm just rationalizing my earlier post--I'd be the last to know.
Do we really need the same comment in every thread about SF? Everyone knows, everyone is well aware. It contributes nothing and nobody ever wants to talk about anything productive like solutions, just the same exact complaining.
Perhaps you misunderstood. They have non-economic value, that is more valuable than their economic value alone. Economic investment may not yield an economic return.

Not everything reduces to a price tag.
A certified postal letter requiring removal of the email address sent to the legal address of the company starts an evidence trail. Companies usually get the message and take action. If that doesn't work, the next step is probably to consult an attorney.
I have been predicting this for the past few years. Batteries shaped as shipping containers with container ships replacing spent batteries on shipping ports they visit is the future for shipping.

> "Which programmers find Ruby more readable than Python?"

What if you don't care about analyzing the psychologies of programmers, and just want to say why one thing is more readable than another thing?
Prospective Study of Incidence of Myocarditis Following Smallpox Vaccine (2015)
Most people who have looked at it say x-ray emission losses would prevent achieving breakeven. I am not equipped to evaluate the assertion, but private investors have favored other designs.

There is a split between thermal-equilibrium designs, like Tokamak, and those relying on non-linear plasma fluid effects to achieve much greater compression in selected places and/or times where fusion should happen. Plasma fluid dynamics is tricky. Plasma fluid radiology is harder.
> I'm not following you at all.

Not even a tiny little bit? Really?

First of all, apologies for my boneheaded mistake, but let me try to see if I can show you the problem. If everything, everything there is, was named "Tom," you can see how it might get confusing determining just what is being talked about. That is hyperbole, but it should illuminate why it is ambiguous to call two things by the same name, but it is even more so when these two things with the same name operate in the same space.

But wait, you say, they are entirely different and unrelated! You think no one will be confused, because one Carbon is a programming language possibly based on C++ and the other is a C programming language API. Totally different, huh?

In fact, they're in the same space, programming. One Carbon is a language, the other a application programming interface for another programming language. They're also more or less dealing with the same programming language. I realize C is not C++, but without C there would be no C++, so they are very strongly related, along with ObjC. Fundamentally, these languages are all C, the newer ones using the same syntax but with advanced features not found in C. Still C, if we're being handwavy, and we definitely are.

So now, whenever someone mentions Carbon somewhere, like, "use Carbon!" That will be ambiguous due to this developer's unfortunate lack of nomenclature creativity.

Does that help at all to reveal why a new programming language based on C++ should probably chose a unique name rather than recycle a name that is still in use to refer to a C API? Since Apple already chose Carbon for their C API, and since it is so well established, even if it is no longer used, and since it is just not that old, and it when it was current, it was everywhere Apple, then it takes priority. So the arbitrary name this developer chose will inherently cause confusion, inevitably, because another Carbon already exists in the programming space.

Why not call it "Centigrade?" Or "lightspeed?" Because calling a C++-based language "Carbon" because it is based on C++ is not remotely as clever as Apple calling their C API Carbon because C is the symbol for Carbon, and not C++, which itself is a great name for a programminglanguage because it will never be confused with anything else, because afaik nothing other than C++ is called C++.

Let me know if you need more explanation why Carbon is an unfortunate name for anything new in the programming world. If it was, idk, the name of a publishing company or something, it wouldn't matter. It only matters because these things are in the same space.
Berkeley has basically the same population as it did in 1950. It is home to the best public university in the state, which outdates any residents by a century. Students and low income workers sleep in cars, in tents near Highway 80 or commute from Antioch for lack of housing.

If there is any city that should be scaling aggressively instead of “gracefully” it’s Berkeley.
How does AirBnB "actively harm people's ability to rent or own property"?
Claiming that laws specifically targeting women's bodies are not about sexism at all is what looks like grasping at straws to me. I think maybe your mistake is believing that someone can't be sexist against their own sex.

Women are specifically targeted by these laws, they will face punishment due to these laws, and they will in fact die because of these laws. Their economic prospects will drop. Single women and their children will fall into poverty at faster rates. We know all these things will happen because the opposite happened when Roe was decided. This isn't a mystery to anyone.

> McGeachin has this position not because it doesn't affect her personally ... but because a lot of people in her state ... support this position

I'll remind anyone reading this that the Idaho GOP just voted to exclude support for a life-of-the-mother exception to their party's official platform. I highly doubt the majority of women agree with that, even in Idaho. That is a very extreme position. We'll have to wait on the polling to come out on that because it just happened this weekend.

But sure, let's just say for the sake of argument they do actually hold that position.

What I'm saying is that every woman who supports this position and needs a lifesaving abortion will either leave Idaho to get an abortion, or die in Idaho because they couldn't afford to leave. McGeachin and everyone she loves and cares about will be in the former group, I guarantee you that.
Not against the product but probably related: I have a friend who put lots of maintenance burden into project by often copying random css properties from somewhere else. It often looks like some hacky styles. I personally found that "trimming out" properties (trial-and-error) approach sucks for understanding what I'm going to do.
Not that way - only when it's someone else's opinion, not mine.

The government can't direct a company to do surveillance that the government itself couldn't do. If the government were just going to flaunt the law anyways there'd be easier ways to get after the data in these buckets. And none of this would insulate the government from backlash anyways.

Likewise, if you're Bezos and you have unfettered access to PRISM-tier data that AWS employees are just going to say "OK!" for, you don't need to buy Ring. Just grab the data! It's sitting on your S3 buckets!

At most the government might be able to use data that Amazon would willingly turnover for whatever reason, assuming they're not contractually prevented from that, but you can't hardly build a surveillance program around the idea that Amazon might allow you to luck into data you need.
The question is too vague. Culture is different from org to org. In general the more specific your question gets, the better quality answers you will receive.
So the system is rigged?

Why are people still on YouTube?
If 1000 big youtubers put $100/month toward an association or union of some kind, they could afford a $100,000/month legal team to combat this.

Obviously, there are more than 1000 big youtubers. The fee could be reduced and the budget increased by growing the union.
Most large corporations. They have a very formal and tight process for spinning up Oracle instances, so the developers go to Mongo because it’s easy. Once it’s in production it’s very hard to rip out, and the salespeople jack up prices every year. God forbid you get more than 2 years behind on upgrades and it’s more fees. Internal IT departments get stuck with growing masses of instances that are hard to replace with their 1 yr planning cycles.

MongoDB blends the commercial aggressiveness of Oracle with the audit mindset of IBM. The sleaziest in the game.
I have been doing something similar where a js file takes over links and forms and uses fetch to get content and some other data on navigation.

Great TTFB as I don't need to send it to node to render js, faster navigation for many users with slow plugins and easy to implement.

This seems to do the same thing, and much more. I really need to try htmx, looks cool!
Anecdotally, if you use firefox on android to sign in to a wells fargo account you will get a shitload more captchas and extra verification steps to actually login than if you use chrome, or their officially published app.

This is not how the web was supposed to be.
I agree with your specific assessments here, but I was trying to get at the question of whether there are meaningful and measurable differences in the broad-scale accessibility of e.g. whitespace-centric syntax vs lispy syntax vs curly-brace syntax.

Admittedly, it's hard to tease this apart from the standard library and communal conventions of any given language: Java occasionally devolving into an endless sequence of ProducerFactoryFactory.newProducerFactory().initializeProducerBuilder(new ProducerBuilder())... certainly impacts its readability in a practical sense, just as the Haskell community's perhaps ill-advised love of point-free programming and highest-order polymorphism doesn't always do it favors on the readability front. Those sort of details seem like they'd really complicate a rigorous and systematic study, but on the other hand, lacking a good methodology has never stopped _other_ supposed quantitative studies of programming languages as they relate to e.g. "developer productivity" and "defect rates," so who's to say...
Great! Enjoy it!
Ah, I see, you prefer to believe the narrative presented by police press releases and ads on the sides of buses, rather than actua(ria)l statistics.

A note about the recall campaign: the funding for both sides would have been roughly equal except for one PAC -- NEIGHBORS FOR A BETTER SAN FRANCISCO ADVOCACY.[1] That PAC ultimately took in 84 donations for a total of roughly $5.8MM, meaning average donation size was roughly $70k. If each donation was given by one person (reasonable estimate) and each person lives in SF (provably false) then that represents around 0.01% of the population of SF. Not exactly the groundswell of support it was portrayed to be.

An article in The Nation[2] goes into detail about the context around Boudin's time in office and the hysteria of commercial real estate interests who, rather than working to mitigate the problem that generates such fears, stokes the fears instead.

Sounds spooky!

What if you anonymize it with a random key and then give the user that key in the event they want to undelete their deletion?
"then you should choose your supplier accordingly" Yes, choose the refurbished, quietly restocked, and or disgruntled worker malware for your CEO. If you sell out, than don't go halfway dude... but buy a SSD/HDD retail like a sane person. ;)

"I don't see how that changes anything?" Well... Lenovo just patched 70 models for UEFI security issues, so some people see this a little differently. While I respect you opinion, it is irresponsible to frame blatant illegal product tying as a security feature.

"Secure boot changes nothing in that scenario"
We can agree it does nothing for security in most scenarios, and it is really weird some are so emotionally invested in convincing people otherwise.

"we should do away with filesystem security and permissions?" While I appreciate the off-topic rhetoric, one needs to recognize the main issue I see is who holds the signing keys. Would you buy a car someone in the next town needs to unlock for you everyday, well apparently some people are that lame.

I think we will have to agree to disagree on this issue =)

tl;dw: Fran is a YouTube creator (mostly electronics and space videos) and has been having ongoing issues with illegitimate copyright claims made against her YouTube videos, including NASA public domain content and the sound of wind(!). She even has the physical copy of one Apollo 12 scene which she telecine'd to digital, uploaded, and then an unclear party made a claim against that video which is currently successful.

She also discusses "Visual Claim"[0] and how this will make things worse and how copyright trolls have nothing to lose with doubling down on illegitimate claims.

One issue I have with her is her insistence that alternative video platforms, such as Odysee/LBRY, will never have a chance against YouTube. That's definitely true today but anti-trust or other government action could eventually shake that up.

Lawnchair is FOSS. I like it. Does what you would expect, and is inoffensive.
Every time I feel myself wanting to make content, I see stuff like this and I nope out of it. Why put so much effort into sharing your passion with the world only to be frozen out by some morons that are enabled by a billion-dollar company that doesn't care about you?

Copyright strikes are such a blatant example of the legal system being bought and paid for by the wealthy, it's not even funny.
I didn't see a claim that deletion had to be "the very second the [delete] button is pressed".

This is the actual text of the law[1]:

> The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay

There is a one month limit of the right of access[2] and right to be informed[3], which flow into some of the articles of the law; and certain articles also mention a month's limit on being informed, e.g. from article 12 parts 3 and 4 [4]:

> The controller shall provide information on action taken on a request under Articles 15 to 22 to the data subject *without undue delay and in any event within one month* of receipt of the request. That period may be extended by two further months where necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of the requests. The controller shall inform the data subject of any such extension within one month of receipt of the request, together with the reasons for the delay. Where the data subject makes the request by electronic form means, the information shall be provided by electronic means where possible, unless otherwise requested by the data subject.
If the controller does not take action on the request of the data subject, the controller shall inform the data subject without delay and at the latest within one month of receipt of the request of the reasons for not taking action and on the possibility of lodging a complaint with a supervisory authority and seeking a judicial remedy.

I've marked out those phrases because they show the language of the law that you will see again and again in the articles - without undue delay and within one month. The latter does not obviate the former.

Hence, and in fact, there is no part of the law that explicitly gives you a month to delete something. If you could delete something right now but you leave it hanging around because you have arbitrarily chosen a job to run once a month and there's a leak in that time, that would be undue delay.

And the fab, or a rogue employee, or anyone/anything on the critical path to manufacturing, could decide to alter the design. Eg Stuxnet style where a worm gets in the fab via a contaminated usb key, a 3rd party could get to airgapped systems. With a sufficiently advanced attack, not Intel, not the fab, no one would know that a backdoor has been put in except the attacker himself.

And here's the million dollar idea, to verify you'd need to destructively inspect your chips at EOL to verify you haven't been screwed over. Anyone wants to start a business?

This is one of the endless physics defying articles implying 'acceleration' towards a fantasy all-electric future. Batteries are really heavy and will be exhausted of power very quickly by the continuous load from underwater propellor propulsion.

In this scenario I’m making up lies about a person who died last month.
Haha — Chinmay here. Oh goodness I remember this! What actually happened is that there were two sols. submitted that we’re similar enough that we were concerned about cheating — both used the royal “we”. And the weird part was that very few people used royal “we” on that problem. The two were not direct copies so we thought we should just ask the submitters to self report to BoC rather than deal with an official report.

Sorry if I insinuated you were cheating falsely!

Then you require a hierarchial model which first estimates the membership of observations to discrete and non-overlapping sets of objects, and second estimates the quantity of interest. This is still a mixture distribution.

Ansible is a special example of this. Some Ansible modules (e.g. the postgresql one) require non-stdlib modules to be installed in the remote python. So either install it globally or figure out how to make Ansible work with environments. Even if the thing you're trying to set up ostensibly doesn't use python.

The dangers of dual-use AI
I always like to reverse this. "Oh no, in our mad quest to save freshwater fish from extinction, we foolishly did not eliminate all the groundwater. What were we thinking?"

Same thing works with climate change. "Oh no, scientists tricked us into not pouring massive quantities of pollution into the atmosphere, all for nothing!"

We can debate the exact impact of the impact of removing water from an area or pouring chemicals into the water and air and ground, but if we conservatively guess that doing these things is marginally bad, what's the penalty? Slightly slower economic growth?
