Why does the platform they’re pushing matter? The west keeps trying to bomb places into democracies but then when the democratic process does not yield desired result, they stage a coup.

I’ll go against the rules and say that unity makes my guts churn. Linux/gnome is one sleek ui design away from mass adoption and unity is the exact opposite. I hate it. I’d even contribute £ to a sustained effort of making gnome look good.
I'm just not sure what you mean by "mandatory" here. Do you mean that manufacturers were required to ship cards formatted with exFAT, or they wouldn't be allowed to manufacture SD cards? I actually don't understand what you said, I'm not trying to be misleading.

Seems simplistic to draw that conclusion. Especially if you assume they are as hyper focused on profit above all else. If you think that way then there must be some selfish motive to them phasing out ad cookies and so the delay may be about profit but could also indicate something else.
If that data is so relevant, then why can't they get a warrant?

https://www.science.org/doi/suppl/10.1126/science.abp8337/su...

I haven't fully studied all the layers yet, but as far as I can tell it's numerical sludge, in the same general direction as econometrics, with so many free parameters or arbitrary choices in the model that you could plausibly get almost any result you wanted. Similar models got their chance to make falsifiable predictions of the case count in the actual pandemic, and they failed repeatedly, often by huge margins, in both directions.

For a specific criticism, the authors report that they're robust against variation in doubling time, but nothing about robustness to the extent of the overdispersion of SARS-CoV-2's spread (i.e., the superspreader characteristic, where most patients infect very few people but a minority infect a lot). They appear to model that only through the connectivity of the infection network, which appears to be fixed. All other things being equal, more stochastic early spread will make it harder to confidently reach any conclusion.

I'm not saying this work isn't interesting at all, or that I could do better; but it's many layers of stacked uncertainty. I believe the confidence that the authors express in this paper is already excessive, and Worobey's statements to the media go considerably beyond that.
I’ve been upgrading the same Debian VPS since 2009 (starting with Etch IIRC, currently on Bullseye as well), with very few issues. Merging configurations like for Exim is usually most of the work, and it’s often not even strictly necessary.

Source is French, therefore the boring title is also biased.
The way we did that kind of thing before cookies was by encoding the state in the URL (for GET requests) or hidden fields (for POST). Higher-level Web frameworks at the time would often abstract this away from the app code while allowing the app to be deployed in either mode.

I used to read that site daily. It's a lot of great writing. One contributor was a guy who'd regularly go to Antarctica for months at a time, it was amazing reading his nicely written pieces about the experience.
I'm sorry, but timelines don't match up here.

Windows 3.0 was released in 1990. Patents last 20 years. Gnome 3 development didn't really start in earnest until 2008 (2 years after the alleged reason for the change), a 2 year timeline before any patent MS could claim on position of the x button or start start button. Gnome 3 was finished in 2011, 1 year after any patent related to windows 3 or earlier would be dead and buried.

And arguably, some of the design elements of mention in this post were present in windows 1.0, released in 1986.

There are also other prior art examples such as Amiga released in 1985 which had similar "top right button closes the application" design elements.

And then let's not forget, this is about enforcing patents. Not something that's really easy to do with FOSS, hence the reason projects like FFMPEG and x264 have stuck around even though they very clearly violate a bunch of patents (if someone distributes the binary). Heck, even projects like DeCSS2 were almost impossible to kill off with it's explicit flaunting of the DMCA.
I think it very heavily depends on where you live.
I agree MS is probably being scapegoated here. I was using Linux around this time and I don't remember hearing about this threat either.

> At the time, KDE, GNOME and Ubuntu developers alike, were simply drunk on popularity.

But I don't agree with this.

I think a more charitable explanation is they listened to a loud minority, one I would have been part of.

I used Gnome 2 at the time, but I also changed a lot. It's been a decade, so forgive me for forgetting most of the specific app names but: I used compiz then later beryl. I replaced the bottom bar with a dock. I removed the application launcher and instead used the dock plus a Spotlight clone. I switched apps with the Expose plugin provided by compiz/beryl. My top panel had a clock, system tray, and I don't think anything else.

We were definitely loud, but maybe also a minority. Threads, blogs, newsites, etc constantly had discussion on new apps you could use to mod your Linux (mostly Gnome) desktop experience. I remember cycling thru several docks and several spotlight clones within a couple years. The people behind Gnome 3 and Unity very well could have seen all that buzz as an indicator that this is what people really wanted. So that's what they built.

But in retrospect saying that you find the defaults fine and there isn't a real need to change them doesn't make for a very interesting blog post. So the people who were just fine with Gnome 2 didn't get heard until Gnome 2 was gone.
Pegasus spyware: Just 'tip of the iceberg' seen so far
Can someone else corroborate that is something the US lost because of labor costs? We are constantly told it's R&D and infrastructure costs. How much of that is labor costs?

It almost feels like labor costs is a good story to salve the ego when the US was simply beat on tech and tech investment.
They absolutely are, you cannot have one without the other. The fact that these concepts are inescapably linked together is something many in tech have failed to recognize. Behavior that compromises your privacy will compromise your security (ex. ads are the primary source of malware), and behavior that compromises your security will compromise your privacy (ex. malware generally likes to exfiltrate your private data, and sometimes also track you and display ads). If a company chooses to violate your privacy, they are willfully compromising your security by default.

I expect Facebook is in a better ARPU position as the ad market continues to implode than Google.

I further expect that, as Google becomes more desperate, more users will flock to non-Google products due to the poorer UX on e.g. YouTube.

Facebook may have a rough 2022, but I think they will probably be fine.
Upgrading from Jessie to Bullseye compiling apt and having working using just apt and dpkg, that would be a feat.
Thanks for the feedback!

Random values sound like a fantastic idea. It shouldn't be too hard to implement in the current codebase either. I'll add it in the coming days/weeks.
They mean that exFAT is the only filesystem format a host device that accepts SDXC cards is required to understand, in order for that device to be certified as SDXC-compliant / get to put an SDXC logo on the box. (Also, that an SDXC card that came formatted as anything other than exFAT wouldn't be able to put the SDXC logo on the box.)

By formatting your SDXC card with any other filesystem than exFAT, you won't be able to use it in all the devices that are "minimally compliant" with the SDXC spec in that they implement exFAT support and nothing else. Where "minimally compliant" devices include: literally all digital cameras, all portable game consoles, etc. — pretty much the whole ecosystem of devices that would ever give you a reason to own any SDXC media in the first place.
The real big-ticket customers will be hedge funds getting trans- and intercontinental financial data a few ms ahead of competitors.

It would not be surprising if Starlink charged them 100x as much for each ms of latency boost. They would be paying not so much for the ms ahead of fiber as for their lower-paying competitors to get less ahead of fiber.

In fintech, they say "a microsecond is an aeon, a millisecond an eternity". You can do millions of computations in a ms.

I like this article a lot.

A good exercise might be to practice apologizing without using the word "sorry", unless it's a truly trivial matter.

People use the word "sorry" all the time in fake, shallow ways. As if it's some kind of magic word. People don't want to hear a magic word. Like the article says, they mostly want to know:

1. That you know what you did

2. That you know why it hurt them

3. That you're not going to do it again

4. That you're going to fix things (when it's possible. sometimes it can't be fixed)

5. They want to know that you care

Of course, don't say any of the above unless you are being honest.
> 1) Founder still has majority voting shares, gives a lot more freedom.

I am bearish on FB for this reason. Companies with dual-class founder-dominated governance I think will increasingly see this where the founder fails to step aside for new leadership. More than that, FB more so than most other tech companies has constructed a cult of personality around its founder - even if the mechanisms existed for Mark to step aside it's unclear if the company can culturally withstand the change.

Think Ballmer-era MS, but except with zero corporate governance mechanism to replace him with their equivalent of Nadella.

I know we tend to worship founders around here but there are many instances where a founder is no longer the right leader for the company. My personal feeling has been for some time that Zuck is not the right leader for this stage of FB and seems to be doing more harm than good in the top post.
Never worked at Facebook. Interesting post. Thanks for for sharing your opinion. Here's mine:

Whatsapp. I still don't understand this purchase. Whatsapp is great but paying $21B for something something you have no idea how to monitize?

Metaverse. I like VR and appriciate the efforts from Facebook to really innovate here and potentially change the world. But the all Metaverse story is so cringy. I once watched an all hands with Zuck about the Metaverse and couldn't believe my eyes. I think starting small with one or two verticals would be a better approach (e.g., fitness and work meetings).

Acquisitions. Big tech relies on acquisitions and it's became much harder. Big problem for Meta that was pretty aggressive with acquisitions (e.g., Whatsapp).

Stock and talent. Yes the stock tanked and employees are "losing" money. But Meta is one of the highest paying companies so I don't see a mass exodus happening .
Yep. While Red Hat doesn't "own" GNOME by any traditional definition, they definitely pay for a controlling stake in it's direction.
SATA SSDs top out at about 550 MB/s. ZFS does ok with these. NMVe SSDs top out at somewhere between 3000 MB/s (typical enterprise PCIe Gen 3) and 14000 MB/s (mythical just released PCIe Gen 5 drives). ZFS (out of the box, anyway) can’t drive PCIe Gen 4 or newer drives very hard.

If your IO all goes over a 10 Gb link, that will be your bottleneck before ZFS is.

Since 1 MB record size was used, this may be a candidate for a bunch of mirrored HDDs with a few TB of nvme for l2arc and ZIL. But with a bunch of SSDs already on hand, why bother?
If I’m exhausted and spent, I practice self care by canceling plans and taking extra time to relax and recharge.

If I’m stressed out and restless, I channel that restless energy into doing some chores, working out, or taking a long shower. I’ll feel better after crossing some of those things off my to-do list.

On a day-to-day basis, self care is synonymous with generally staying on top of my life. I do my work, I cook meals, I keep my living space tidy, I take my medication, etc. The goal is to minimize the risk of becoming stressed or exhausted later, if I can help it.
> My wife and I vacationed in Buenos Aires a few years ago because we read it was the Paris of the south. We enjoyed our trip, but what we found was far from Paris!

When people describe Buenos Aires as "the Paris of the south", this is what they mean:

That we have a great deal of Parisian looking architecture, especially in our "historic" sections of the city, such as microcentro.

That we have a greater deal of European influence than our Latin American neighbors. (There's also a racist implication that we are "whitest". Argentinians care a lot about skin colors, and for us, calling someone a "negro" is a common insult. There's a confusing exception here -- "negrito", "negri" or "negro" is an endearing term you can call a friend, but it's always insulting if you refer to poor people, "esos negros", "qué negros", etc).

Historically, the upper classes of Buenos Aires looked up to Paris. This has been replaced for admiration of the US, a long time ago, and is no longer relevant.

As for scheming locals and dubious tours: I find these to be the norm in many European cities as well. I was marked for tricking/mugging in Paris, Barcelona and Rome, so... another European influence I guess?

Dirt and poorly maintained infrastructure: sadly, you're right. We porteños -- the people from Buenos Aires -- are a very dirty people and we like throwing garbage on the streets, breaking public stuff, urinating in whatever place, etc.
Let's note has circular trackpad (It's traditional design, IMO it's bad now) so maybe OP mistook it for trackball. There's no laptop with trackball within a decade AFAIK.
I suspect the core issue isn't that you can't disable new privacy violations in Firefox, but that they're regularly added and default to being enabled, such that keeping them disabled is a regular full-time job. It'd be ideal if there was a single "don't phone home" switch that Firefox obeyed for all new telemetry features, but they don't.

That being said, being upset Mozilla has a trash telemetry policy isn't a good excuse to use Chrome, a willfully compromised browser which has refused to implement industry-standard protections.
Then you shut it down. The Internet doesn't have an obligation to sustain anyone's business model indefinitely.
I'll go a step further. The author of the article is deceiving himself and his audience to apologize for terrible decisions in OSS, separate from Microsoft, which is no saint either. This is historical revisionism that the creator of GNOME, in this very comment thread, throws out.

Assuming our society endures, I would say many skyscrapers likely to be preserved, especially the iconic ones, because there are economic reasons to keep them on top of historic ones. Destroying a house to build a larger building makes sense economically, but destroying an already large building to rebuild is less interesting in terms of space gained.
I could not have said it better myself. What makes it worse is that the same crowd likes to congratulate themselves on how smart they are.
Someday I plan on upgrading to 25 Gbps or greater, and this build may still provide headroom since it has the free x16 PCIe 3.0 slot. But storage bandwidth would probably fall off before network bandwidth at that point.
There are dozens of us, dozens!
I think you might be underestimating voter apathy. Voter apathy stems further then low voter turnout, it also includes people who vote despite not caring or despite not believing their values will not be represented in that vote. That is, the lesser of two evils is a very real thing for many (most?) voters.

For that to be true there would have to be some dissonance between what voters actually want and to what their representatives actually deliver. If you don’t believe this dissonance exist, then sure, there is nothing I can say to convince you otherwise. I on the other hand, not only believe such dissonance exist, but is a fundamental flaw in our democracy.

Simplistic? Maybe, but it is also realistic.

Google is not "they", as in a group of people. Google has been a public company for 18 years, since 2004. The main purpose of a public company has always been to maximize shareholder value by generating as much profit as possible. Google is no different in that regard.
Yup. It's critical that we learn how to escape click bait and find the actual events in play. Were this yet another Vit D doesn't help piece, I came in ready to call BS. Now, I must go read the piece for what it is.
The present state doesn't matter much though? At least, doesn't matter much over the trend. There were also many times more BlackBerries in the world than iPhones in 2009, but the trendline was pretty clear to anyone who was watching, and material reality has caught up to that trend as expected, with BlackBerry being firmly dead and buried.

FB's products are trending downwards and TikTok is trending upwards. FB has pulled out the stops to stop the slide but has yet to find success doing so.

If FB doesn't arrest the slide from relevance it's only a matter of time until TikTok catches it in absolute terms. The salient question isn't whether or not FB is bigger right now (the answer is unequivocally yes) but whether or not they can halt/reverse the decline of their product.
> recently approved EU regulations designed to allow other browsers on iOS devices while allowing users to uninstall Safari

Unfortunately all this will do is speed up Chrome's already out of control market share growth. It'll kill the web, because companies will be able to deploy Chrome-only features, and force iOS users to install Chrome to proceed.
Note that this applies to any company providing services to people in the EU, regardless of where the company is incorporated.

Aren't companies forced to try and make themselves as valuable as possible? My gut says they wanted to get a publicity boost so they decided to cut cookies but then had to backtrack as they realized they'd loose a lot more money than expected.

The dive reflex thing is fantastic. I find that it works even with warm water for me - in the shower, just inhale, hold your breath and let water run directly over your face. A wave of calmness just washes over, the feeling is quite strange and amazing, and I am constantly surprised by its immediacy.
Looked it up. It costs something like 140x to extract water from humidity than by To desalination. That would pay for a fair bit of pumping.
Math is a hobby of mine and, as an adult, the best way to learn math is by trying to solve problems that interest you, i.e. for fun.

I'd recommend getting a copy of Mathematica. The home/hobby version is only $376 for the desktop version though you could start on the cloud version for less. MMA is great for checking your algebra (the bane of my math work) and graphing and using it for "what if" questions.

Also, hang out on the math and mma stackexchange forums and read posts and when something interesting strikes you dig in. Years ago I discovered that the lemniscate is the inverse transform of the hyperbola. It wasn't a formal proof but close enough and I was pretty excited about discovering something like that on my own. Also, check out John D. Cook's and Daniel LeMire's blogs for interesting ideas to investigate.

Enjoy!
