...and at the same time, GNU was making the same comments about CAD software. It's been on the list of desired projects for GNU since about 1990 - a CAD program comparable to AutoCAD.

The problem is that writing one takes a big effort - like Linux kernel sized, and needs people with niche technical knowledge. It's much, much easier to find someone who can write a java app for a web page than it is to find someone who can write CSG code for a CAD system.

It may eventually happen, but it's not inevitable.
Lawyer was charged with murder. Google linked to an article which said that as a result organized crime had lost an important friend. Search result of his name turned up this article. Lawyer sued Google for publishing defamatory material. Google argued they weren't a publisher, but had merely hyperlinked to it. High Court agreed.
Interesting. That requires an atmosphere though; it might work for the first stage of a launch from Earth, and maybe even for Mars. Once you're out of the atmosphere you'd need some other method of propulsion.
> Eventually, I realized that it’s not the best work and most original that makes it to top, but rather the mediocre.

Not at all true. The "top" work is a successful product, OR it gains a large following regardless of commercial success.

Lots of the best ideas are diluted into a mundane product, and plenty of critic's darlings never reach any notable audience.

You can put your art into the market, or the court of public opinion, either way you need a thick skin. Jung said artists have large egos because they are so exposed.

Heck, even the safety aspect. And the mining of materials. The recycling aspect (or lack there of), or the disposability of the vehicles if the battery/charging system bricks itself. The Chevy Volt forums are full of people losing thousands of dollars because their low miles car worth about $10k, needs a $10k battery module or two.

As another commenters have mentioned, the SEC doesn't have authority to bring criminal changes. That's on the DoJ. Therefore the rest of your rant about how people aren't being punished doesn't really apply.

Also, according to US federal sentencing guidelines, insider trading actually gets you harsher punishment compared to theft[2], 2 more points to be exact. For the duo mentioned in TFA, it's a difference between 10–16 months (for theft) and 15–21 months (for insider trading).

>e.g. When Enron collapsed, few of the people responsible were jailed, and in fact were giving themselves bonuses mere days before it collapsed. So it lost people $45 billion directly attributable to fraud, and emptied its regular employee's 401ks and pension funds. The victims whose 401ks and pensions were emptied won all of $85 million of the $2 billion that was stolen, and investors got 11 billion. So they stole billions, repaid a quarter of that, and few actually went to jail. Of the fraction that were sent to jail I can't find evidence that they had to return any of the 700+ million in bonuses they received in the year leading up to the collapse, let alone the prior fraud based bonuses.

Can you reference specific cases here? It's easy to point at a giant organization where Something Bad happened, and demand that everyone involved be punished, but that's not how the justice system works. You can't enact some sort of collective punishment for everyone involved with enron, you have to prosecute each person individually for the specific offenses that person committed. I suspect the reason for the lack of fines is that they didn't actually do anything illegal, or that they were difficult to prosecute, not because it's legal to defraud people.

All true. But still a work of genius getting those gyro stabilisers into a consumer device.
If you've already figured out how to live in space for the many months required to get to Mars, why would you want to abandon your (presumably shielded) ship to live underground at the bottom of a massive gravity well? Stay in orbit. The view is better and you're halfway to anywhere.

This might be the most pedantic thread (on my part, too) I was ever part of. :)

The earliest reference to VPN I can find in the RFCs, RFC2547, seems to call the "destination" (the network spanned by the tunnel) the VPN, not the tunnel itself:

"If all the sites in a VPN are owned by the same enterprise, the VPN
is a corporate "intranet". If the various sites in a VPN are owned
by different enterprises, the VPN is an "extranet". A site can be in
more than one VPN; e.g., in an intranet and several extranets. We
regard both intranets and extranets as VPNs."

That same RFC has only one mention of encryption at all, in passing, and as being optional (note the "and/or"):

A security-conscious VPN user might want to ensure that some or all
of the packets which traverse the backbone are authenticated and/or
encrypted.

It does not seem to me that privacy was implied.

I still think that VPNs were invented to connect smaller private networks to a larger private network together, where private != privacy. (But rather related to authorities, such as using "private IP addresses" in e.g. 10.0.0.0/8, instead of publicly routable ones.)

Privacy was a (good, likely popular) option, but just not part of the strict definition of what a VPN is (much unlike today).
The issue is that firmware engineering is strongly adjacent to EE which is sorely underpaid in the US considering the skillset the jobs require. Hiring managers are looking for EE refugees used to being underpaid.
Yeah I guess so but we (americans) also have to worry about healthcare and having (basically) no parental leave etc so always kind of figured it wasn’t as good as it sounds. Open to interpretation maybe.

Why downvoted? This exactly. Start with parking lots that hold say >100 cars. A business with that much need for customer parking can likely bare this cost, and if not they're probably close to losing their social license anyway. And they will absolutely take advantage of tax benefits and subsidies provided by every level of government to make it happen.
> I'll point out you couldn't just park it at L1. If it's deflecting the solar wind, then it's acting as a solar sail.

Assuming the solar wind is constant, you could presumably park it somewhere other than L1. That's certainly not a valid assumption, though, so propulsion is going to be necessary.
The first thing I thought of when reading this article was https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15567707 where someone created a model that filters Hacker News for articles potentially interesting for them
Concorde had a cruising speed that was 2.31 times higher than Boeing 747, and a lift-to-drag ratio that was almost the same times lower (2.36). So, every second Concorde had to burn about 2.36 times more fuel per ton of aircraft compared to 747, but it reaches the destination 2.31 times faster. All in all, the fuel consumption during the cruising phase of the flight was comparable. Well, Concorde had a horrible fuel economy during takeoff, so overall it was pretty bad compared with the 747.

But 50 years have passed since the Concorde was designed. Both computational fluid dynamics algorithms and computing power have made tremendous progress. It's quite likely Ouverture will have a much better fuel economy than Concorde, if only for the fact that it will use turbofan rather than turbojet.
Half the people I work with are from Western Europe and they won’t waste any time to take a dig at our lack of social safety net.

However, the thing I’d be worried about in their position, is, if the safety net is actually a sustainable project in a time of declining economic growth. They’re extrapolating on 30 or 40 years worth of data and if you’re retiring in 30 or 40 years a lot can change. Look what’s happened with the austerity crisis, something EU folks usually don’t want to talk about. Personally I’d want to manage my own retirement and risk tolerance.

There’s way less inefficiency and way more accountability in the public sector. Look at how efficient publicly funded schools are, for example, or publicly funded rail or healthcare. You could literally pick almost any industry.

Accountability comes from elections. If managers in companies had to be re-elected it would be interesting.
It's the usual nonsense. Old media, newspapers, television broadcast, etc... would like to extract tax from Search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc... who hyperlink to media on their websites. They would very much like the courts to determine, in their favor, that a hyperlink is effectively re-publication of their copyrighted materials, thus entitling them to compensations.

There seems to be increasing cases for no-shows reported time to time in media, and thus, I wouldn't be surprised if more and more place would start requiring credit cards or deposits.

It works well, at least for me. I haven't updated mine for many months.

If I have problems during the process, it's almost always a signing keys problem. Package verification fails because too much time's passed between updates: the keys stored on my computer are too old and don't work anymore. I made a script to refresh the keys and everything started working perfectly.
Depending on where you want to live remote work will make more sense. I'm just saying the loathing that offices get can be quickly fixed by using them less and mostly for what they're good at.
I use AI art for something that would never be worth the time for a human to do it: solution images for a daily word game that tie the daily solution words together. It's a popular feature that takes me about 5-10 minutes per day to produce a good image.

So that's new demand for art created by it being so accessible. Most of the art has some very obvious flaws and deficits; much of which could be cleaned up quickly by a human. I certainly imagine new jobs for artists that use this tool to assist in very quick jobs, for applications higher value than my use case but which still wouldn't exist if a human had to do all of the work.
I don't have direct experience, but the first option reminds me of regex ("now you have two problems"), and the second looks like a fragile coalition.
Our perception and knowledge of most of these things has been filtered through a fairly narrow, ubiquitous and recent cultural criticism.

What's more, the canonization of these thinga has caused our modern media to refrence and reflect them. Meaning we likely have a predisposition towards them as their structure and tropes are familiar to us. Your popular measure of quality is terribly tainted.

How much time have you personally spent digging into obscure classical music or have you mostly listened to the cannon? I can say I certainly have stuck to the big names. But the big names of today weren't universally heralded in their time. In fact the reputation of art changes with the time.

This is actually delusional. Email. You don't get a choice there. And your ad-blocking is unlikely to be 100% effective. How many websites you visit use google stuff? Never clicked on an amp link? That's just for starters. The decisions of others prevent you from living google free unless you leave modern society and find a nice place in the wild.

But more importantly, _No!_ Logistics do NOT matter at all in responsibilities. It doesn't matter how difficult it is. When you're the lynchpin in something and you don't deliver, screwing up someone's business or life to a non-trivial degree you are 100% responsible for that. You can't do it, GET OUT. "The logistics of driving drunk are really hard so it's ok when it goes wrong." Nope. It's not ok. Don't do it. The end. If you can't take responsibility for providing a critical service because you want huge scale you have zero business doing it.

Having more tolerance for smaller players trying to compete is fair. Having tolerance the market dominating force with the decreasing long run average total cost curve making billions is just madness. Break them up. Why are they in phone os development? Why isn't mail spun off from search? Why isn't 3rd party advertising spun off to a separate entity from those two? And so on.

"Because it suits their market dominance" has always been an argument for breaking up this kind of market power not in support of it.
I’ve heard the idea of “competing jurisdictions” advanced here: run your own Wireguard VM in China or Russia and route traffic through that box, with the goal of essentially introducing unfriendly international borders in your traffic. Ideally your Russian VM provider would be uninterested in responding to an American subpoena.

The other concept I’ve heard put out is to add layers - your traffic hits Vultr, then Hetzner, then etc etc. Conceivably if you cross enough jurisdictions you can make it very difficult for a legal adversary to attack your traffic.

Would I bet on this for activities I needed to remain exceptionally private? No - but if I needed relatively consistently low latency traffic and a decent baseline of privacy it might just work.
Music in left channel only, voice center?? Then the viewer removing one earphone or changing a balance control??

Also (and more plausible), in a "lower information" mood I will stream music in a different tab. Generally each tab's player will have a separate volume control.
Hyperlinking can still be constrained by other laws. So, this has high specificity as I see it. The specific constraints applied in the suit which led to the High Court have been found not to apply.

I don't have a list of what do, I just hypothesise there could be other constraints. Private agreements, CSAM laws, IPR laws, which go to why you cannot provide a hyperlink.

Not a Lawyer.
What you said at the end deeply resonated with me. I made a similar decision regarding music years ago and since giving up all aspirations of commercial success from music, the quality of what I am able to create has blossomed - and then tanks again the moment I so much as THINK of making a track to put up for sale.

So I came to the similar conclusion of playing only for myself and my family, and I am much happier with music as a result.

I recommend to anyone working on talent-development to try, the next time inspiration strikes, creating your next piece of art for an audience of one (Self) and see what happens. The results may surprise you.

Fair, it does seem that "privacy" VPNs are a lot older than I thought and possibly as old as the "VPN" moniker. (Assuming that your project was in the 90s, which it sounds like.)

At this point it just seems like arguing for arguing's sake, but I was rejecting the notion that VPNs were always intended for privacy (along with saying others are wrong for suggesting otherwise). It still seems to me that VPNs did not always imply "privacy", and I think in my sibling comment to this, an RFC from 1999 seems to support that (focusing on "intranets" and "extranets" in the definition of a VPN, and only mentioning encryption once as an optional component, with possibly only authentication instead, or even none).
If "broad usability" and "general answers" suggest many people want a touchscreen, why not make it an option? And is it "general answers" to create a piece of technology that will rapidly become out of date as opposed to some simple gauges and a bluetooth connection for audio? Broad usability, to me, implies simplicity. QNX, by virtue of being harder to move functionality into, better fits my anti-needs (nice phrase).

I'm not sure why a company Ford's size couldn't handle "it's a screen" in QNX, but it can handle how many I want in a car - no pixel matrix screens at all. The article makes it clear that a major annoyance with the slow computer is the replacement of physical buttons with slow swiping. Well, we could just have buttons.

Okay, but I recognize that for some reason I've lost this fight. Fragile, quickly obsoleted and hard to replace computers are going to try to make cars have a short lifespan. The fact that they're harder to use while driving will also continue to perplex me but there will be no other option.

But then they want to install software on my car that helps Google spy on my real-world locations? Or where the only way to sync my phone to the audio is to let Google listen in to the connection. You're right that we have no clue if Ford is spying on us now, but surely that data collection is going to continue. We're just adding Google to the list of companies.

All this makes me sad because an E-F150 was the EV I was hoping to get once supply exists.
Based on what I see, the concept of "genre" is gone for a few years - you just listen to whatever spotify or apple music or your app of choice recommends, and it fluctuates across a set of genres, but it's not as "fixed" as it used to be, in past decades.

Fandom/identification with specific artists remains as strong as ever though - you see a lot of "Swifties" or fans of a specific rapper, for instance, and they use it as a form of identity. You see fewer "metal heads" or "classical music erudites".

All anecdotal, of course. Would love to see studies on this.
At the end of the day, either AI art is "good enough" (whatever your criteria are - "novelty", "soul" etc), or not. If it's not, then human-made art will continue to exist, to the extent there's demand for it. But if AI really is that good at art, it would seem that it's not really a problem from the perspective of society at large. It would be a problem for artists who rely on art as their source of income, but that's something that is fairly easy to solve, since all it takes is money.

> Until one day you realize that you can run an x86 program on a 64 bit CPU (but fortunately, this isn't done through “emulation” proper either).

It's reasonable to call that emulation if there's a separate layer for it translating to/from x86-64, rather than the hardware specifically supporting -32. My CPU isn't doing that cause I'm not running 32-bit software on macOS.
One Christmas several years ago everyone got hoverboards, but haven't seen one since. Possibly their batteries died, otherwise it was one of the quickest fads I've ever seen. Must have not been practical on the sidewalk. The wheels were very small.
These are both one-bit processors, but very different. The Connection Machine had a 1-bit ALU and it operated on larger words serially, so to the user it looked like it was doing 32-bit arithmetic (or whatever). The big deal about the Connection Machine is that it had 64K processors operating in parallel, so it formed a massively-parallel supercomputer.

The Motorola chip on the other hand was "genuinely" one bit. It was designed for Boolean control applications with one bit values. (You could do serial arithmetic if necessary, but it was very inconvenient.)

Back in the 90s, DJs used to flex their record collections: cases and cases of obscure vinyl records that were both hard to find and expensive to buy. Owning specific items like KLF's White Album after the band nuked its back catalogue was a serious accomplishment.

But now anybody with a phone can dial up millions of tracks in a split second with Soundcloud, Spotify etc, including those KLF releases that were once unobtainium.
