yes... but insurance might be void when you have an accident, if this is discovered (I'd hope it will only matter if there is an electronic problem impacting the accident).
Netflix has a great international catalogue, and unlike torrented content, it's all reasonably well subtitled.

However, their English language catalogue gets worse by the day.
You can't prove a negative. The burden of proof lies with the accuser. It has not been met for this claim.
I saw the need after wanting something similar, but nobody was offering it. Guess I have some cross-domain knowledge to know it was possible to do.

For me, reverse engineering it was easy, the most difficult part was/is sourcing electronics with custom specs.

I know the difference, I'm an engineer. I assumed you were talking about recording since quite obviously you can get a bit-perfect signal from the digital side. It's maybe not so obvious going the other way. There is a persistent myth that digital audio is inferior in some way. The signal chain is not doing any processing. Quantization noise is not audible and can be removed using oversampling. On the other hand analog recording introduces flutter, distortion, and noise that cannot be easily removed.

Consumers cannot decarbonize the economy by their choice because fossil fuels are used in everything at some point in their value chain.

It’s not about will you fly or take the train. The food we eat, the clothes we wear - everything has fossil fuel inputs at some point.

One can choose to consume less. Buy second hand etc. Then the fossil inputs in mining, transport, farming and whatnot will not be repeated.

Consumer choice electricity? You can’t choose non-fossil based electricity unless someone has invested large amounts of capital in e.g wind power.

The only thing that can affect things this large is industrial policy which again in democratic countries needs political support.

That’s why consumer carbon footprint is gaslighting. The individual choise does not exist, and trying to spin the carbon economy narrative towards consumer responsibility was a backhanded attempt to delay the energy transition which only the war in Ukraine launched to a better trajectory.

I was not suggesting people spend all of their money planting trees. I was thinking it in the context that sometimes people want to do something symbolic with extra cash that makes them feel better. It was not intended as a moral imperitive.
Congrats!

The idea that 'company time' and 'company equipment' gives the company absolute right to record and ownership of recording is almost feudal.

Imagine I were to die in the office in some embarrasing way, on company time, in full view of company CCTV, do they have the right to upload the video to YouTube to make money from it?

What if they record audio of me at home, can they publish it? Can they show it to anyone at the company?

What if audio is recorded outside of compaby time by a company laptop thats had its lid closed? What if it's recording 24/7?

Are they allowed to snoop on traffic of my home network? If I have a home camera thats not password protected, can they help themselves to that Video?

If my network drive has no password, is it okay if they help themselves to those files?

> I don't think it's required to open source everything, only the bits that provide the MongoDB service. I don't know if they've done that.

Yes, that's my exact point - these things are sometimes full of finer points. I don't doubt that DigitalOcean have talked with MongoDB and have probably figured out some sort of a deal, or another way to offer it as a service (someone mentioned them using the enterprise version, where the terms are probably different).

Though offering MongoDB as a service for a small no-name company all of the sudden seems impossible, unless they actually want to open soruce lots of their own code.

> Also, the SSPL seems to be a little controversial [1] as it appears to want to relicence all software it's running near under itself.

Of course, there was backlash to it even existing, much like larger companies didn't really like AGPL being a thing either.

Then again, I guess one could argue that MongoDB definitely can create such a license, as a reaction against cloud platforms utilizing their solution: https://www.mongodb.com/blog/post/mongodb-now-released-under...

This should be a time of incredible opportunity for open source. The revenue generated by a service can be a great source of funding for open source projects, far greater than what has historically been available. The reality, however, is that once an open source project becomes interesting, it is too easy for large cloud vendors to capture most of the value while contributing little or nothing back to the community. As a result, smaller companies are understandably unwilling to wager their existence against the strategic interests of the large cloud vendors, and most new software is being written as closed source.

I don't really have a horse in that race, though in theory such a license would be good for the open source community, whilst its effects on larger cloud vendors are also pretty much clear. Of course, there is a lot of controversy around it and it's not considered "open source" at all by many.

The argument needs to be more subtle to make sense, since Blink is open-source, whereas IE was not. Contrarily, I see another analogy; Blink being like Linux's dominance in infrastructure.

How were Snowden revelations of USG<>Bigtech relationship materially different from what's happening here? Maybe it was less transparent?

Any "woke" person can see the cognitive dissonance here. It's all fine that you use the geopolitical rivalry argument but not if you try to paint one side of the argument as "free" and "liberal" and "subject to rule of law" when it's clearly not the case
No top player.

MAD, as insane as it may sound, actually works. Everyone being fearful of massive retaliatory strikes keeps everyone in line. You get all sorts of bad behavior when nations have no fear of massive retaliatory strikes.

I suppose this is an extension of air space zoning, which is a thing already. The 3D space above our head is carved up into different bits, with different rules, optimised for the principal user. Rules around major airports are optimised for big airline jets, whereas rules around small rural airstrips are optimised for hobbyists.

It makes sense to create more zones if there is a new use-case. Designated corridors for drones is basically sandboxing.

That said, as a sibling comment says, this is coming from a government under liquidation, staffed by a party behind in polls - their objective probably isn't Making Airspace Great Again.
There's clearly a strong opposition against gun control in US, so the fact that the media is downplaying the shootouts by comparing it to natural disasters is not surprising.

But keep in mind, while Americans find it to be a commonality, it's rare to see news like this in other parts of the world:
"...but students don’t need the active-shooter drills now conducted in over 95 percent of the nation’s schools..."

Active shooter drills? In schools? You folk live in a first world country but act like you are living in an active warzone

Moving to a new location triggers interesting effect in many people - they shed their social fears and laziness and try to socialize more. Living in a hub that attracts many such folks gives one an endless stream of people that are looking for friendship, consciously or sub-consciously.

The drawback is, long term retention is not high in such a location. Its not nice to see people with whom you connected so well leave. But its endlessly better than some stale rural place where you either have really close people from childhood/school years, or you are pretty lonely.
I've found this while looking for a backing track. Amateur musicians may find it useful.
In my job, we are supposed to completely finish our sprint tasks, no exceptions. This has led to the team being ultra conservative in picking up tasks, to the point that our productivity is down the drain. But if you see our numbers, they’re fantastic, as we finish everything we pick up in a sprint!

Artificial numbers. Grand sounding words like spike, velocity, scrum, bandwidth etc which don’t mean anything to anyone, other than middle management. Using 10 different fancy tools/products when a 100 line script would do the same thing. Endless meetings (I can’t get a 4 hour block to concentrate on a task). These are the things that suck the joy out of actually creating something, to help users do their jobs better.

Above all else, dudes (mostly dudes) that work 14 hour days without being asked, without being requested. I remember doing that myself as a young man. Now that I am old and a bit less stupid, I can see how this is the most negative thing in a team.

I don’t know what the solution is. Maybe freelancing? I dunno, it has its own problems. Maybe ask in interviews how much time is spent on meetings, before accepting an offer? That might not work either, interviewers aren’t obligated to be honest.
Yes. I think this is one of the topics Trump was spot on about but because of his reputation he was ignored. TikTok should have been banned and the United States would have been better off for it.

It's currently 37°C in many cities in the UK. France looks fairly similar. They're the two hottest countries on the continent right now, and the UK just recorded its hottest tempreature ever of 39.1 yesterday (with today expected to be hotter).

This time of year usually sees temperatures of 21°C highs and 12°C lows. This week we're seeing near 40°C highs and around 25°C lows.

I don't really know what you're counting as 'extreme'?

But I don't want private companies having this data either (on me, or others). Since we're barrelling full-speed towards corporate feudalism, I see this act as deflating the motivation to fix the root cause of the issue, and ultimately doing more harm than good.

In this case (and many others), "the perfect is the enemy of the good" is inverted. Such as algorithmic suppression instead of censorship. Outright censorship would alert us that there is something wrong, mere suppression fools us into thinking the problem is minor.
The American left seems particularly fond of censoring those who they deem are "problematic" and have bad thoughts.
This is a weird thought. Nearly none of my wife is zero sum.

If you print a magazine you also don't get to recall all copies if you change your mind about something. Giving individuals this kind of control over other's ability to freely share information is dangerous because it is easily abused to hide information that is in the public's interest and that is not an edge case at all. Making a decision to publish something on the public web is hardly analogous to being caught naked even if you may come to regret either.

If anything, the IA should be more reluctant to remove information without a court decision.

Which inversely correlates with the importance of the debate to the participants. We see it in this thread

Facebook claims to follow a content moderation policy [1] for users on its platform. "Members of the government of the largest democracy in the world" is not a justification to bestow some kind of immunity from their policy. They should apply that policy to all users.

>Where the coupling doesn’t happen is in things like resource names and locations, as far as Fielding’s thesis was concerned there’s only one location the client needs to know and it’s the root location, everything else can be obtained by navigating the service

Yeah, any my point is that relies on the client (i.e. a human) being able to understand what the different links mean. A programmatic client can't do that without in someway hard coding the structure of the API.
> If Google were trying to leverage the renderer to assert Chrome over say Brave or Edge, sure, but they're not, and if they do, it will be forked.

Google has already asserted that. Brave and Edge are a footnote to a footnote to a distant appendix, and are almost entirely reliant on Google to provide the rendering engine.

Ah, I remember having to figure this out way back in the day when writing a toy ray-tracer. In a raytracer it's a little more obvious what's going on because typically you only write code to intersect with a unit sphere, unit cube etc. and then instead of transforming the primitive itself, you apply the inverse transformation to the ray. So you're already thinking about inverse transformations when you get to calculating the normal.
"Classical electrical engineers are trained in design. A small number of designers will be critical. These designers will be highly sought, and handsomely paid. Educators will pride themselves on the demand for the shrinking number of graduates that they produce, while other disciplines will produce growing numbers of informed users who will work at the application levels. Electrical engineering will be in danger of shrinking into a neutron star of infinite weight and importance, but invisible to the known universe." Robert E. Lucky, 1998

The CMB is assumed to be what it is stated to be. If you look at the various theoretical predictions for the CMB, you will see that the theoretical predictions have been quite inaccurate. In absolute magnitude, the temperature that would be expected is quite small. However, the error in those predictions relative to each other is quite high (way too high, if I recall correctly this error is on the order of +/- 50%). I have done laboratory experiments which had similar errors and it was considered a failed experiment. The predicted value from theory was supposed to be less than a couple of percent to give some credence that the theory was actually applicable.

Based on the evidence so far provided, I have some concerns that what the CMB is supposed to represent is not actually what it represents.

Once you have experimental or observational anomalies that conflict with theory, one has to look at that theory as either being wrong or incomplete. After 40 years of watching these things, I conclude that we are still very ignorant of the nature of our universe.

Unfortunately, there are inherent infrastructure problems in scientific investigation and we often see politics and dogma interfering. This works to limit our understanding. I see this as a repeat of what was happening in the late 19th century. We didn't learn from our mistakes then and so we are doomed to repeat those mistakes now.
Yeah sure - you're right, it's using a lib built on top of the Web Audio API called Tone Js. This handles scheduling and some instruments, but the sounds themselves are mostly samples which I record myself from VSTs, then do things in the browser such as filter modulation so that they sound different over time. When a track loads for you, that's the samples being loaded in from cloud storage.

As for static vs dynamic, it's a mix of both. Some tracks are more static than others, and I have learned it actually seems better to try and use randomness sparingly. Almost all tracks will use probabilities of loops firing, and some watch for the status of other loops to create sections (e.g, always fire A if not firing B). Note / Chord selection also often contains randomness, such as a probability to pick each note from a list, then a probability that note itself to fire.

Hope that makes sense!

At current situation, reliability of transport. Drones may be 99% reliable (making up the number), but thats not enough when that 1% means somebody on waiting list is going to die due to failed transport.

Costs benefits are obvious but there are always drawbacks, especially when every fail may mean 1 dead person.

And that you bought your property so badly placed is unfortunate, but the result of your own choices (or more like lack of thorough research). If you bought it next to highway so should all car traffic in the area be banned?

I am a film person (director, camera guy, work in post production). Grain is an aesthetic choice and has an effect on the perception of an image.

Sure, for the typical Hollywood blockbuster it has not much value and can break the immersion, but for everything else grain can make you look on a picture, rather than into it. This could be the difference between looking through a window and looking at a painting for example. Additionally grain can emphasize the passing of time. A shot of a still life without grain is something different from the very same shot with grain.

Today it is just another tool in the aesthetical toolbox. And someone somewhere decides when to have it and when not to have it.
The microcode shouldn't even need to be secret in theory, so being able to decrypt it on celeron/atom cpu's is by no means "devastating."

The world map has been mostly frozen the last few decades precisely because USA is the global hegemon and world police.

Regional powers (which is what we would devolve to) are demonstrating exactly what the world would look like without America running the show: conquest and genocide in Ukraine, saber rattling in the south china sea, genocide of the Kurds.

We don't have an interest in solving for all the world's ills, and we are the source of many.

But the world has been less stable and more dangerous in the past.
