And even these companies ruined that. Making it more expensive than it should realistically be. Living in country with large area and low population density our mobile charges are very reasonable. But somehow these companies don't manage to provide same service in much denser country. Thus pushing up the still allowed inter-operator roaming charges...
Isn't that a limitation of the implementation, which can be worked around by creating a new implementation with whatever licensing you want based on the format specification?

OTOH, a limitation of the spec cannot be worked around by any new implementation.

(OT - isn't it generally recommended to compress before encrypting? Encrypting is CPU-intensive so the less you have to encrypt the better, also length can be a side-channel, and don't some encryption methods leak the existence of patterns in the source data which compression will eliminate?)
Nice. In older versions of xlsx they used a weird hash function with tiny hash space that could be brute-forced in <1s. There were some VBA code snippets circulating and in my old team where we had to deal with a lot of such files we all had a script as a shortcut in the Excel toolbar.

I knew about the xml trick, but I could never get it to work consistently. This looks useful, thanks for sharing.
My point was different; you can compute a hash (or any other deterministic computation) trustlessly by having multiple independent parties compute it separately and then checking if the result is the same.

You cannot necessarily do the same for nondeterministic computations in general. In this case you can easily verify that the signature is valid, but unless you control the rando parameters you cannot verify that a few bits of entropy have been exfiltrated by one or more parties in the computation.

In the simplest case you could with statistical methods but not with slightly more sophisticated attacks.
>It's a sad world we live in when creators are upset that their creation is shared.

I don't think that is a fair description of what I have a problem with.

>Let's also not forget that the need to commercialize creative content using copyright can also negatively influence those works themselves as what is profitable under this scheme is not neccesarily what is best.

This is a huge problem, though it's not really related to copyright.

I think a more accurate statement, using your words, would be something like:

"Let's also not forget that the commercialization of creative content can also negatively influence those works themselves as what is profitable under this scheme is not necessarily what is best."

HUGE problem.

The content you see on YouTube today is determined, in large part, by what advertisers are and are not willing to have their brands associated with.

Huge, huge, problem. Particularly since viewers are typically unaware of it.

> Does it? I'm certainly not an expert of the matter but AFAII the constitution only ALLOWS the government to create laws like copyright but does not require it.

I believe that it does. Abolishing copyright would be a 'taking' of intellectual property, and would violate the takings clause of the Fifth Amendment.

I would like to point out that you request evidence and immediately proceed to make your own claims with no evidence.
Looking at these offers I see in ads, I really wonder if not soon they won't be doing the same. The discounts are really weird. As it seems regular price is nowhere near where the costs are. Or then they are losing lot of money in customer acquisition which will soon lead to this kind of behaviour.
Presumably that much of the tech industry and the way it’s funded is built on the assumption of boundless growth.
I'm currently working on a software solution that will wipe out the need for human labor in a certain industry.

I wonder if I should just build it, put it online with a "Buy" button and a statement "Here you can get the same as from the competition, but 10x cheaper". Then I would have to do marketing for it.

Or should I reach out to some of the companies who already have the customers and currently fill the demand via human labor? And see if they want to outsource their work to me for 1/10 of the price? Even if they don't want to do business with me, I could probably learn a lot from them about the industry.

But somehow, I'm a bit afraid the companies will hate me and the conversations will become unpleasant. I have nightmares of them sending a contract killer after me, lol!
I dunno, I see it everywhere, really. Owning you mistakes seems to be a rare and cherished virtue everywhere.

Besides, my point is that such way of reasoning and inducting from a broken finger towards a whole culture is nothing more than spiteful supremacism.
"The amount of nested if statements made it impossible to follow"

I'm floored that you mentioned this. One memory I often cite of my early days there was walking past a colleague's desk and seeing a diagonal line of text from the upper-left corner of her monitor to the lower-right. Closer inspection revealed that she was processing a 30-character part number with as many nested IF statements, instead of iterating through it.

Even as a 21-year-old I was appalled that this was being delivered to clients.
Sorry but you have legit no clue about neither the history nor the geopolitics you’re attempting to talk about.

The Church issued equivalents of fatwas that have literally eradicated entire ethnic groups from the face of the planet. Never heard of a papal bull? Maybe the one that resulted in the largest genocide in the history of the world, to the note of 150 million native indians massacred?

Furthermore people will ask whatever they want, where they want, and there will be debates, and decisions will be made. It really isn’t mr jelliclesfarm who is going to start telling born and raised citizens to go live elsewhere.
As I said, the Church had a very, very rough time throughout the existence of the USSR. There was a slight reprieve going into WW2 and during the war because Stalin wanted the most out of the USSR citizens, but otherwise religion, the conservative thing by definition, was a non-entity.

Also, women participating in the labor-force was encouraged throughout the regime’s existence, until the very end, there was no “Stepford Wives”-like tale East of the Wall. One of my aunts was an industrial crane operator in the ‘80s, I, as a kid, was finding that perfectly normal (I also grew up East of the Wall). Stay-at-home mothers, another traditional thing by definition, was seen as retrograde, “you had to have a job, hence a salary”, everything else was seen as laziness.

And I could continue with countless other examples similar to these.

Seems interesting. That they’re tackling the whole pipeline feels like a good sign to me. Latex has, IMO, been ripe for replacement for a while to be left as a niche tool for whatever niche aspect of document formatting it does better than it’s replacement.

My only personal disappointment/nitpick is I didn’t see any mention of a web-native rendering. I had always hoped that what came after latex would be basically web pages that could become PDFs when necessary. Desires aside, I imagine having some story around HTML, interactive graphics and web browsers would probably be a good idea.

Otherwise, stoked to see this and best of luck to typst.

If I understood correctly OP didn't say VPN was the only solution and stop there. Instead, the point was more along the lines of: ISPs showed us who they are, we should believe them.

> Should I find Manhunt or Postal to be a mirror of American culture? "Interesting perspective", "insightful social commentary"?

Not a "mirror" of a culture, but if you were not already versed in American culture and watched an insightful review of those games pulling on various culture trends which make up those games, I see no reason why it couldn't be an "Interesting perspective" or "insightful social commentary".
For the first example - the Agency homepage with the playful mouse pointer interaction - I managed to get this working with a keyboard-controlled pointer. Controlling mouse via keyboard is a standard accessibility feature in both MacOS[1] and Windows[2].

I've never investigated this functionality before - which is shameful, as my main side project is a JS library targeted at making the HTML canvas element more accessible to users (like the author, I have no need for accessibility enhancements in my daily work or life). So I popped over to my library's test/demo page and followed the instructions for invoking pointer move/press/release/etc actions via the keyboard. From my brief investigation, the actions seem to work as expected in those demos that test/use pointer hover/click interactions.[3]

Reports of shortcomings in my library, when it comes to accessibility issues, are always very welcome!

> We have nothing to do with the robot

Is that not an explicit diversion of responsibility? They allowed the robot to operate at their event. I might buy a mistranslation, but seems like a stretch.

I come from 8 years of experience in industrial robotics. That the boy triggered a “bug” is irrelevant. It's a distraction. The bug isn't the issue here. This kind of robot should not have been used in the first place. That is my point.
If you want the batteries to be removable, I suspect the extra couplings in the water coolant loop would make that problematic.
They do below a certain point yes. But at that point you just buy another one and drive it until the engine falls out. This is how most people operate.

On my vehicle an engine costs about £1275 to put a refurb in it. Gearbox about £550.

There is no rust anywhere on my 8 year old vehicle.

As a huge fan of the Portal games, I feel your pain. I really miss them. Unfortunately Valve doesn't really seem to be in the market of making actual games anymore, so we'll probably never see a 64-bit upgrade.

But like I said, I've still got other games to play. I've long ago made peace with the idea that I just can't play every game I want to play at any time on my Mac, and that's fine. Others will have a different opinion and that's fine too.

Mobile is likely behind carrier grade NAT. That is very large NAT. Now when you connect to web site you have your "private" ip address. And then GCNAT maps this to some public IP:Port pair it has available. And due to TCP and UDP work the web sites has to know this pair as that is where responses are send to. And then NAT simply replaces this with "private" IP:Port pair.

Now ISP can simply read the data of active mappings from GCNAT. That is which user has which IP:Port pair in use and provide it for a price to anyone asking like the web server where user has connected.

(There is also the web servers IP:Port 443 involved. But that makes things more fine grained.
Scheduling also raises costs though. Costs don’t go down much for nuclear power plants if you let them run at reduced output. Nuclear also isn’t as reliable as it seems as it can be seen in France.

Renewables even have the advantage that they produce electricity mostly when it’s needed. Photovoltaics during the day and wind during winter when heating is most needed.
The problem with that is that, then, what exists (in the unrestricted sense of 'exist' the OP is after) becomes event-relative: not everything that exists from your vantage point exists from the vantage point of someone in Alfa Centauri or whatever. You may want to live with this 'metaphysical relativism', but it is hardly better than the solution offered by the OP, which is the standard one.

> If you only drink water, you're not having any fun.

That's a very strange thing to say...

It's only in the last two generations that other beverages have supplanted water. Prior to that it was a rare thing.

When I first switched to water only 7 years ago, it was actually hard because I'd had a lifetime of flavor overload, and it takes awhile for your sense of taste to adjust to normality. American food in general is over-salted, and over-flavored. Eating most things there is like a punch in the face after eating normal food again (England has the opposite problem).

Drinking carbonated water with a twist of lime helped a lot, and then after awhile I came to appreciate the subtle nuances between different water types. Tap water in San Francisco has a harsh overtone to it. Tap water in Western Oakland tastes a little muddy. Tap water in Vancouver and Leipzig is actually quite tasty. The best water I've ever had is hands down in the tiny town of Nagasasa in Japan. We actually dumped out all of our water bottles and brought 20 litres of the stuff back with us to Nagoya (where the tap water tastes terrible).
That’s sounds like a slightly different problem than scheduling operations to carry some complex construction activity, which I think is what is being discussed.

I believe John Sterman used System Dynamics to model maintenance schedules in oil refineries. I’m an amateur at this but that sounds like a better fit to model what you’ve proposed.

I think that user experience of website builders with wysiwyg and drag and drop UX won over time. Then, as time passed by, website builders become bloated and complex. Once again you needed a professional to maintain your site in site builder.

So now simple solutions, static HTML, free or one-time fee CMSs are sexy again. (economy is not good, who wants another subscription?)

I know because 14 years ago we have created static, drag and drop CMS that people still buy today. People value basic features. And it's hard to make a complex software that's easy to use.

Basic features are still enough, after 14 years. https://sitecake.com

I think they're probably going to avoid most ragebait with such a list. Not all news is political.
Most digusting thing I encountered on Amazon was when I bought a book about dealing with chronic pain. I was really depressed for weeks and had flare ups all the time and also I couldn't get medication because of Brexit and chaos with the import licenses for certain drugs. So I was looking for something that could help me deal with it - I wasn't really expecting to find anything groundbreaking, but if you are desperate you will try anything. So I found this book that description was appealing to me and it had great reviews.
The book arrived the next day. It turns out it was a scam. Just a cover and empty pages. It was like being in a car crash and then having a bystander punch you in the face, that's how I felt.
I didn't have strength to go to Post Office to return it, but fortunately after explaining this to Amazon they refunded me without having to post it.

Now what I am angry about is that we pay a ton of money in taxes for institutions like Trading Standards, Competition and Markets Authority, Serious Fraud Office and Police and they seem the be not doing their job.
If you started an online business and facilitating the sales of counterfeit goods, they would probably be all over you, because who is afaid of a small guy.

There are tons of rules around these kind of robots in regular work environments for precisely this reason.

Usually there need to be either a physical barrier like a cage or a virtual one like a laser waterfall that detects foreign objects in the robots perimeter and emergency stops it.

These rules were disregarded here.

I used to work in a company were such machines were developed and even a very experienced engineer, working on a prototype, was once hit by it (no serious injuries and safety was improved afterwards) because they can move very fast and in unexpected ways.

These days there are better solutions available (so called cobots) which are designed to be work together in very close proximity with humans whiteout physical separation. They feature very sensitive force sensors and are severely restricted in the way the are allowed to move.

So yes "think of the humans/children" does apply here. This is a solved problems and the operators decided to disregard established procedures and went instead for "flashy and cheap" (cobots are more expensive and slow as molasses)
