I'd prefer a much smaller range but being able to request as many as I want via DHCP (or equivalent mechanism). That way it wouldn't be contiguous so I wouldn't feel as much of a need to use a VPN for privacy. As it is, what's the point of handing me an entire /48 if I just end up forcing most of my traffic through a single IPv4 address with a VPN for most of my web browsing anyway?

Although to be fair even with non-contiguous address space I might still want a VPN since ISPs in the US are allowed to sell your browsing history.

Also if I'm hosting a public facing service at home I'm going to proxy it via wireguard through a VPS I rent for obvious security reasons. I don't actually want public facing services directly exposed from my home network and I have to question the sanity of anyone who says they do.

And I've always disabled webrtc for obvious privacy (ie network fingerprinting) reasons. What's so great about getting rid of NAT again?
I think write-through cache means they always write to both, but they try to fulfill reads using the faster device.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_through_cache#Writing_po...

With a write-through cache, writes are slow, but the cache is never stale. With write-back, writes can be faster, but the caches can be incoherent.

I have LVM2 set up to use my SSD as a cache for my spinner. I think it's write-through mode. Maybe.
Here's my script for playing videos in a folder. The command is , (comma)

When you download a video from certain sites, ctime is the time you created the file (so the time you downloaded) but the video still comes with a timestamp which is saved as the mtime (I'm not sure why this happens, maybe there's a http header for that?), and I presume it's the time when the video was first uploaded to the site?

Here's a favorite of mine: all my scripts' -h simply show the source code

depth= # ... and do it recursively
loop= # ... without looping

[[ -n $MYT_MUTE ]] && set -- -u "$@"
[[ -n $MYT_1 ]] && set -- -1 "$@"
[[ -n $MYT_REC ]] && set -- -r "$@"

while getopts 1rcmsaRnolugh o; do
case "$o" in
1) depth='-maxdepth 1';; # just the current directory

# a video uploaded in 2009 but downloaded in 2015 will have

#
# (note: moving the video to another directory actually bumps
# the ctime)

c) order='%C@'; sort=-n;; # order by ctime (download time)

Because if something breaks for a user and they complain, the company cannot diagnose it or fix it. Simply dealing with the complaints would be an extra cost on the company.

I'd be curious to see what portion of US health care goes to salaries of licensed health care workers, and how the relates to labor costs of various middle men and administrators, as well as regulatory compliance people.
It is anonymized when its used for research purposes, but you still would want to have some key to match it up to the patient should they have more information to add down the road. Say the patient took some drug for their leukemia and had remission, that is valuable metadata to include along with the raw sequence data in a database.
Healthcare costs increased in step with inflation until 1968, when the rate increased dramatically and never slowed down.

What happened in 1968? LBJ's Great Society massive efforts at free medical care started.

The same thing happened with college tuition. Government attempts to reduce its costs resulted in greatly expanded costliness.

The most expensive things in the world are government provided "free" stuff.
Not a script, but https://github.com/ellie/atuin does something similar

To anyone who reads this, works in Mailchimp and happens to be in a leadership position at the company, sincerely, it would be nice to see you go bankrupt and fuck right off the face of the landscape. You don't even have the sheer size pretexts of Google, for example, to justify such terrible responsiveness, shitty customer service and generally awful account suspension and service practices. Is it simple laziness or a sharper sort of contempt for your own customers? Disgusting tendency among too many tech companies that reach any moderate size.

I had this experience with a different bank (with an embarrassing email address). I wonder if there's some compliance thing here for banks.

I don’t think the essential nature has changed. All the emphasis on “systems engineering” in AI/ML these days (while data heavy) is also innovating on the programming systems — from the interfaces in Julia/PyTorch/Jax (incl. slick wrappers for probabilistic programming, modeling, etc) to XLA backends, the nature of the work is presumably not very different from PL work back in the day.

> Privacy, telemetry, and Linux don't matter, sorry folks, if they did people wouldn't use Chrome or Edge. The most important thing is compatibility with major sites at this point. if people's banking or health insurance page reject Firefox, people are just going to use Chrome.

That is the entire truth. Privacy, Telemetry and Linux are red herrings to increasing market share and do not make any money or help Firefox since the majority of users do not care about any of this. If a website isn't compatible with Firefox or is broken and has missing extensions, then the users will just move to Chrome and never look back.

Thanks to the re-usability of the Chromium engine it has created many derivatives, just like the ecosystem of Linux distros which people are free to choose. This is what Firefox could have been to cement the browser market and Firefox was once ahead at one point, but did nothing to keep it up and watched Google over take them.

What a disaster Mozilla has been for the past 14 years and yet they are still unable to make money outside of accepting Google's money.

12 months in the US. It depends on the country. In Europe a device has to last a reasonable time with a minimum of 2 years. But the warranty is with the seller, not the manufacturer. This is why I generally buy from Apple directly, so they can't weasel out of it this way.

Though after the first year the onus is on the consumer to prove a manufacturing defect. During that first year the manufacturer has to prove it wasn't broken by the customer. That makes the discussion a bit harder after the first year. Also, these protections only apply to consumers. Businesses have to fend for themselves and that includes -employed when buying as such (and thus avoiding VAT)

You sound like people defending PGP when everyone knew there were major downsides and usability issues. How can keeping phone numbers as the only option be more important than everyone being able to publish "Signal:39475638" on someplace like GitHub? Is the phone numbers part of the encryption somehow and you absolutely can't use some other number even in addition to it? Because I refuse to believe you don't understand the downsides of phone numbers and I know you understand the protocol is good enough were it is relevant. So surely then there has to be some technical limitation because what other legitimate reason is there?
Eh. About 10 years ago I had one of the older white iMacs, I think like a 2008 model or thereabouts. After owning it around 5 years and no longer being under warranty, it had some motherboard problem I brought it in for anyway. The Apple Store Geniuses (?) tried fixing it a couple different ways but couldn't, so they replaced it with a similarly-specced current (at the time) model for free.
Absolutely, people who don't have a lot of money - students for example will value a monetary reward. The more you earn the higher that reward has to be. This would have been good for Uber, since it is an 'everyone' product. So even if someone who wasn't going to spend much in the next year or so signs up, they in turn may refer someone who will.
Docker is an excellent way of distributing modern software, whose increasingly complex dependencies have become unwieldy to manage without containers.

I'm so glad to be working at a company (a SaaS startup) that transitioned to a permanent "remote first" policy when Covid hit. That transition was validated by a significant productivity increase - they have good data to say it makes business sense not to go back.

Personally, I'll never go back to working in an office, God willing.

True, but there are numerous other costs with doing industrial scale storage. You need to buy the land. Need to design and build the facility and interconnects. Need to do the permitting, environmental review, and other paperwork. Need to do the maintenance and deal with security. Building a facility like this usually involves buying all of the batteries at once, which is difficult in a supply constrained market like we are in now.

A sharing program foists most of this complication off on homeowners.
I would take straight up communism health care or ancap pay-or-die unregulated over our current bastardized system that combines the worst aspects of both.
IoT devices can be all kinds of things, from vending machines, HVAC systems, industrial machinery, vehicles, and so on. Some of it might not be updateable over the air, and can be located in all kinds of inconvenient places. I wouldn't want to be the one that has to manually deploy an update to sewer flow monitoring devices, or heavy mining machinery that's in the middle of nowhere.
> Retailers make money from your email address by trying to use it to get you to spend more money with them. That can be as simple as sending you marketing emails--which many people consider spam! So when you hear people complain about "spam" from retailers, it's often this: real marketing emails that they are mad about getting.

This is written like it's "not spam", but I'd consider that unsolicited marketing emails because I bought something once to be clearly spam - the only way these emails would not be spam to me would be if there was some sort of affirmative, opt in that was clear about what you're opting in for.
I had it happen to me ten days ago, just before going on vacation. I'm going to the shop where I bought it tomorrow to see if any warranty is available. The first quote I had (from a close by shop) was half the price of the brand new thing (for a 30 min job: the guy tells me it's simply the part that's super pricey).

We went to sleep, woke up in the morning: open the lid, was all messed up. It looked exactly like several pictures/videos I saw on the net.

I'm super pissed off: lasted 10 months of very light use.

On the other my old LG Gram which, granted, is military grade rated (whatever that means), is still going strong. It doesn't have a retina display but it has the benefit of still working.
Phone, physical mail, e-mail too. Buying a house probably netted me more spam than anything I've ever signed up for online.
I have a suspicion that I already know, but why are you jumping to a non-sequitur about masks? I tend to agree with the user to whom you're responding on this particular issue, and I still wear a mask in places such as public transit, enclosed spaces, etc.

So...I guess my point is that you don't _have_ to choose between masks and gun rights. I'm unsure of why you would bring it up.
According to GP it’s the same price as the UK.
crypto is a game of creating virtual fortunes out of thin air and convincing other humans with traditional forms of money that those virtual fortunes deserve to be real-world ones.

Interesting... I recently had to take in my 2021 MacBook Pro for a cracked screen repair. Mine had a reason mind you, but one that I'd never seen before... My cat bit into the screen while relaxing behind it.

A very mild play bite. She does this whenever she wants attention but I'm in front of a screen. I heard a crack and immediately it went black. It was like a delicate pane of glass cracking.

She bit my previous computers (MacBooks) without issue, cell phones, etc. First time I'd ever seen it happen. On a two month old laptop too.

Didn't pay a cent for service luckily, it was covered. I didn't let them know what happened, and the crack was so subtle that I guess the tech didn't catch it.
That can be part of the game! People are more likely to buy if they think they got a good deal. Make them think that, by making them hunt for coupon codes or pull these tricks.
> infant mortality

You have to be careful with statistics like that. I did some research on that a few years ago. Different countries define infant mortality differently. Other countries would classify many failed pregnancies as a miscarriage that the US classifies as infant mortality, for example. This is because the US is very aggressive at trying to save premature babies.
Here's the thing, it isn't a single problem, it is the combination of many, just like Windows Phone/Windows Mobile.
> and why you can run x86 software on M1 Macs

Seems like a pretty good case for the counterargument: that backwards compatibility can be entirely provided for in software.

(To be clear, the M1 chip doesn't support the x86 instruction set at all, and translation is done entirely in software. I don't think there was ever any 16 bit x86 Mac software though, so not sure if that mode is supported).

Yet if you acquiesced to those bells and whistles and there were stability or security problems it would be much worse for you personally.

It sounds like you guys don't trust each other - they don't trust your ability to assess risk and you don't trust their ability to properly value features vs those risks. As a tech lead in those environments sometimes it helps to act like a lawyer, communicate the risks, let them make the decisions but cover your ass and get everything in writing.
It's conspiratorial to assume that advertising and marketing is responsible for the status quo, rather than it being reflective of the genuine preferences of consumers to have new toys. Consumer preference has rewarded lowest-common-denominator dopamine trains in basically every facet of modern life.

I mean, x1 carbon (new) isn't much cheaper (in fact, more expensive, at the time of my googling) than a MacBook Air. The linux ecosystem (which I love) has it's own fair share of problems - gnome vs. KDE, deb vs. rpm, X vs. Wayland, pulseaudio vs. pipewire, systemd vs. (the world). Sure, installing ubuntu and not worrying about any of it is a great option, but I think you've painted a slightly too pretty picture :-)

(And, on your "kernel-hackers laptop of choice comment," it's curious that Linus released the last kernel from a MacBook device)
I'm trying to think of use cases as the readme also suggest a threshold timestamp AFTER which things can't be decrypted (I guess for things like log rotation?) and I think that simply deleting (overwriting securely or whatever) would be far less resource intensive?

> My 14" M1 MacBook Pro screen repair cost was $809.

I was quoted, for the MacBook Air screen repair (it died overnight), 490 EUR VAT included in Belgium. Paid the M1 MacBook Air 1020 EUR or so 10 months ago.

In addition to the price being ludicrous, I've got an interest close to zero in owning a laptop which can suddenly stop working for no reason.

Serious build quality issues: I think it's simply a piece of shit and has to be called for what it is, regardless of whether replacement parts are highway robbery (which they are) or not.

I don't know how much things have changed, but in 2008 I bought my first pair of glasses in France, and had to leave the store to get some cash because they had a 10 euro minimum. I lost my prescription sunglasses a few months ago and got a replacement for $700 _after_ insurance. The frame was $150, so not outrageous.
Reminds me of an old Soviet joke. A guy walks into a shop, sees how empty it is and asks "You're out of beef?" The clerk explains, "No, the butcher's shop across the street is the one who is out of beef. At this store, we specialize in being out of fish".

FWIW smart TVs are "cheap" because of how lucrative it is to sell the data they collect. Gen Z probably has even less privacy than they do purchasing power. And while the economy will invariably bounce back - that data stays collected forever
You're very lucky! Where can I find a plan that costs $1k/mo in the US for 2 people and I assume you got kids as well.

Is it paid fully by you or does your employer contribute to it? If your employer contributes, how much would it cost you if you leave the job?

I assume the $1k/mo is only premiums. How much do you pay for deductibles and copays?

Does your insurance cover 100% of your medical bills when you meet your deductibles? Or are you still on the hook for 20% of it?

What happens if one day you lose everything, and you can no longer pay the monthly premiums?
I took a sabbatical month between jobs, living in a (somewhat cushy) emergency fund, and while we were traveling my partner got sick with something and had to be rushed to a hospital. I called an ambulance at 7AM, and by noon she was back in bed, medicated and feeling much better. We didn’t spend a single dime, not even on the medication, and it’s crazy to me to think that if we were in the US that experience would’ve basically bankrupt us for no reason other than bad timing.

It’s in these moments that the fact that I’ve paid an absurd amount in taxes over the years just… disappears.
