I see, so maybe the "disdain" about "program source code" might be more about disdain for imperative programming? It sounds a bit funny or at least interesting to me if mathematicians pick up functional programming no earlier than the software engineering world, given that functional programming is about being descriptive like mathematics itself.
The section on satellite internet should probably be updated to clarify that LEO satellite networks like Starlink orbit at 1/100 the distance of GEO satellites, so the parts of the latency calculation involving uplink and downlink become much less important. (The rest of the numbers in the latency calculation still apply.)
Who you marry and have children with and where you choose to raise them is a social construct too.
You're missing the point. The official docker containers can be configured secure or insecure. Same with in house built containers. Same with installing an application via apt/yum/pacman/what-have-you.

It's technically possible using advanced, cumbersome positioning equipment. However, it is not feasible or practical at all.

The best I've found is ANC over-ear headphones along with brown noise, for my hearing profile. Pink noise may or may not work better for you, depending on your hearing abilities and the type of music being played.

This is the goal: decrease salaries.
Some titles like Nausicaa have more of a traditional Hollywood script, with bad & good guys, some big tension and epic storylines.

The rest, and on my opinion the best ones, are like the author described: the plot runs on kindness, friendship and discoveries, which may feel “static” when you’re used to frenetic disney movies but makes for much more inspiring movies.

No thanks. KiwiFarms is disgusting, but I'm not at all interested in having corporations voluntarily enforce "correct" worldviews.

The meaning of "correct" is highly dependent on who you talk to, and is frequently perverted when corporate profitability is involved.

Were you using Tor Browser ? From Switzerland, I can create free Proton accounts by solving a captcha, if I'm using Safari or Firefox. But if I use Tor on the same computer, the only option is to enter a phone number.
Yes. This is what I use on my hobby sites and home network. About a decade ago I was using 16 when the default changed to 10 from 3. This is with fq_codel+cdg. Most prefer bbr for servers but I have my own quirky use cases.

ip route change local 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo initcwnd 128 initrwnd 128
ip route | grep default | while read p; do ip route change $p initcwnd 32 initrwnd 32; done

I would suggest performing significant testing from high latency connections before making changes on anything important. i.e. iperf3/nuttcp from a VM in another country. This would also be a good time to get numbers from different congestion control algorithms and default qdiscs. e.g. net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control and net.core.default_qdisc [1]

[Edit] I should also add that changing these values may require different methods depending on the distribution. [2]

Manhattan apartments are subject to a lot of the same price forces as commercial equipment. Their cost reflects the ready access to money making opportunties.
The culture of "Apple Knows Best" died years ago. People are realizing the lightening port and removing the Jack isn't innovation--it's just a cash grab.

At some point there needs to be some sympathy for consumer preferences. I'm an Apple customer due to the bloat/clunkiness of their competitors rather than an appreciation for Apple itself.
Benjamin Franklin[0]:

> Which leads me to add one Remark: That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionally very small. All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth. I could wish their Numbers were increased.

tl;dr: Saxons and the English are White People. Other Europeans are "swarthy".

> I think a test flight is just that, it's a test flight. This happy talk of it being completed—just look at the language, the celebration, NASA's planning, and so forth for the launch. There is not another test flight planned if this doesn't go perfectly. So then what? You're going to put people on one in two years if the first one didn't go well? I just have never heard anyone talk about that plan.

Another reading is that they know it's the last hurrah; succeed or fail isn't relevant. There won't be any more after this anyway; NASA will be relegated to maintenance of extant science missions and maybe a few new ones as pork projects. Any further government rocketry will be military.

Possibly the best thing to happen for human use of space travel since NASA was begun.

I would dispute that digital marketing is unreasonably effective. In fact I would say the dead internet is a result of the exact opposite. Digital marketing is so ineffective that basically the only strategy that works is spamming it everywhere. If you don't believe me look at the revenue per user of ad driven tech companies.
I think it depends on whether or not the definition of a "free market" includes the non-existence of monopolies.

If it does, then a free market isn't possible. It will always devolve into monopolies and conglomerates absorbing everything.

If it doesn't, then a free market is possible, but it would not be good.
I think you're significantly overestimating the American electorate and their ability to deal with nuance here.
OBD-II WiFi/BLE to Can Adapter Based on ESP32-C3
They aren't fully fleshed out, but alternative import networks are already set up at least for some products, for example German cars are slowly coming back. You simply import to Azerbaijan(became even more popular as gas deal makes it less likely to be shut off) or Turkey(don't listen to Erdogan rhetoric on Crimea IMO, he is playing both sides really well as usual), and from there on out reship it to Russia with no problems.
I don't know about chips, but European products will basically come back, but be more expensive as they now have to take detours of varying lengths.

Is there any real obstacle to building a search engine that primarily shows smaller independent websites? Seems pretty doable.
I approach it at an ad-hoc basis and ask a bunch of questions to limit my options. What do I have in terms of furniture, what are the pathways to keep clear, how do I want people to move through the space, where is the light coming from, how many people are going to be here, where are the electrical outlets, and so on. So, a kind of feng shui without the mysticism.

Or are you talking about decoration? That I have a huge pile of framed art prints and they go up everywhere. If I was starting from scratch I'd probably keep it minimal and just use bright colours to break up large spaces.

I have classical art and design background. So, about 35 years of training in colour and composition.

But there's lots of rules of thumb out there about lighting and wall colours and where each should be what and why.

MyFitnessPal subscriber here. I feel like I get some value from food tracking, which is why I pay for the subscription.

This is a promotional piece for Redi.Health, which is somewhat understandable because the author says he is a Senior Software Engineer there.

This isn't an analysis of MyFitnessPal, how it's evolved, or why they chose to move the Barcode Scanner inside the subscription paywall.

If you want to factor that into your understanding of the situation, consider that UnderArmor bought MyFitnessPal in 2015 as part of its foray into digital fitness communities, and sold it to a private equity firm in 2020, https://techcrunch.com/2020/10/30/under-armour-to-sell-myfit....
They would be if there wasn't so much money to be made in Manhattan.

The price of Manhattan apartments has almost nothing to do with how desirable it is - other than the fact that desirability is largely a function of the financial opportunities there.

Park City, Utah is expensive and nothing like Manhattan - so is Malibu and Ketchum, Idaho.

San Jose is a large city and much more expensive than NYC (in terms of house prices). Outside of downtown and a few neighborhoods nearby, it's mostly a car-hell.

Los Angeles isn't far behind in terms of prices - it's the second largest city in the US - and the majority of it is less walkable than halfway decent suburbs.

On the flip side, Chicago is mostly walkable and bikable - yet it's substantially cheaper. Does that mean people don't want that? I doubt it.

You can find plenty of counter-examples based on price and population and trying to extrapolate what people want.

People like a lot of different things. Looking at one desirable place isn't going to tell you much.

If you can make an argument that Manhattan has so much financial opportunity BECAUSE it's walkable, bikable, mass-transitable - I'm listening. But keep Chicago in mind. Because it has all of those things - is the second most densely populated city and the third most populous - yet it's basically average price for the country - which makes sense, because it also has average wages and high property taxes...

I feel there's a strong argument to be made that these organizations should be required to release these models publicly. These are built on the works of the public at large, and the public should get the full benefit of them.

Whatever effort Google has put into building the model is infinitesimally small compared to the work of the creators they're harvesting.

I don't expect this to happen easily, if at all, but I'm strongly in favor of it, and would even support legislation to that effect.

Maybe. AWS very likely did spy on customers. They met with startups and let them use their infrastructure. Then they launched their own service. They also host data centers for UK spy agencies. Industrial espionage is one of the largest field for these agencies. Doesn't have to be a chip like the Chinese used. And you wouldn't know anyone spied on you.
I'm pretty sure Stack Overflow also has pretty much all live content.
Yes, and we know when. It was during the Enlightenment that monastries were raided and the collected works were carted off. Near my town, the books were thrown in front of the carriage to prevent the vehicle from getting stuck.

Disruptions, no matter how celebrated are always connected to a loss of old knowledge. Even if it is loss of "wrong" knowledge, its disaster.

But then, that is life. The most brutal cut possible and only the most vital of information gets rediscovered, repeated and filtered down from word of mouth into another storage medium.
True but not quite accurate. Locals influence zoning laws when they speak at city/town council meetings and go door to door trying to influence or get the support of their neighbors for them. It’s not “most” voters: but only in the sense that that is true for all public policy. Zoning isn’t special.
There's tons of them. Google patent lawsuit insurance.
Worth noting that most of the data MFP uses to power the barcode scanner was community supplied. In fact the majority of their food database was community supplied.

MFP used to be a freemium model, wherein actual value-add was the pay stuff, and the core functionality/community provided stuff was the gateway towards that.

Unfortunately, the app got too successful, and was sold to a venture capital firm: Francisco Partners for $350m. Now they're going to do what VCs do, and try to liquidate out a profit by any means necessary, even if it ultimately ruins the app on the way out.

Open source code is a successful idea; what hasn't really taken off for various reasons is the concept of open source or community owned databases. The closest thing I know of is OpenStreetMaps. A food/nutrition database would be a fantastic open dataset that would largely stand the test of time (while specific products come and go, base facts about specific foods rarely do).
Wired headphones suck for 90%+ of the population. We can talk about the cost of AirPods but they are objectively better in most all situations.

I was a hold-out on the AirPods having using bluetooth headphones before and hated them but I got AirPods as a gift and almost immediately fell in love. Way easier to carry (no tangled wires, and yes, I knew how to wind them up but that wasn't always foolproof), super easy to pop in your ears for a few minutes or a few hours, and no cables to get in your way.

I lost my original AirPods (or they were stolen) and I decided to just use the wired headphones while I continued to hope they would turn up. WIthin 2 days I had an order placed for a new AirPods because wired headphones are a huge step backwards (wires get caught on things and tug at your ears when you extend too far).

I generally find audiophiles to be nearly completely full of shit when it comes to "audio quality" and while I know bluetooth doesn't allow for the highest quality possible it's well past "good enough".

Having split finances doesn't necessarily mean going Dutch on everything. When my wife made more than me, she carried more of the bills. Now that I earn more, I carry a bigger percentage of the necessities. We're still a team, but we have our own bank accounts.
There is a great youtube video I was once linked (that I sadly lost the link to since) that was a recording of an international phone call between the American, Australian, British, and Indian office, and a few non-native English speaker's offices. Each of them spoke English but the native speakers had a hard time understanding at least one or two other people on the call.

"English" is just too broad a term. Indian English is different from American English in pronunciation, preferred synonyms and even grammar. In fact, the way small grammatical features can tell the difference between "white" American English and African American Vernacular English causes some Americans to code switch to "white". Even "American English" isn't a single kind of English. Of course, you won't hear anyone but the most racist people openly complain about someone speaking AAVE but the unintentional bias towards preferring people speaking in their own accents is real and in some cases very problematic.

I think most Americans want the person on the phone to speak American English (or their preferred flavour of North American Spanish, depending on their native tongue), preferably in an accent close to theirs. That's the language, culture, and subset of dialects that they understand. It's not just Americans, of course, it's people in general; we humans like it when things are easy for us, and the less we need to pay attention to decipher what the others are saying, the better.
I don't know anything about this other than the announcement here and on reddit, so you'll likely want to post your question as a top comment so Jan can see it, or open a GH issue so they can help you evaluate
Corporations already do this and always have. Movies/TV/Music place limits on whether nudity/violence/profanity/etc is allowed or not. Newspapers decide what articles they print and distribute. Shows/Networks/Platforms limit what ads they will show to users (e.g. Fox News isn't going to show ads that are anti-gun and NPR isn't going to run ads that are pro-gun)

In general, this is how it works. Public pressure causes public change and eventually that leads to codification in law, not the other way around.
It’s all fine and dandy until you have things to get done for kids and family. Dinner is a time sensitive topic.

Funny you should mention Arnold Schwarzenegger. Despite him being a native speaker of (Austrian) German, his voice is dubbed in German by a voice actor because of his non-neutral accent.
Another commenter posted this link, https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/201... , but it makes the convincing case that that was never true. Italians, Spaniards and Greeks we're always considered white in the ways the actually mattered in the US. They could drink from "whites only" drinking fountains. They could marry folks of British descent and nobody considered this an "interracial marriage". They could join unions that had "whites only" membership policies.

Frankly, I'm not sure it would work. The population of the US is more than double what it was in 1950. I personally don't want to live in a dense population area - it's overwhelming, panic inducing, yet still somehow lonely.

So what would a car-less community I could tolerate look like? Probably a lot like it does right now, just with more commercial entities within a mile or two of my home. It would also be a lot harder for me to access bigger commercial entities (like Walmart, Target, et.al.) since it would involve public transit that is about an hour and a half away (it's 10m by car, fwiw) in a higher density (and cost) city.
It doesn't take a majority to enforce NIMBYism. Just a small, very politically active group.

The formatting is really great and makes reading and understanding much easier. The graphics are super helpful as well. I haven't read through it all yet, but I'm quite optimistic!
The biggest hurdle is that parsing web pages is really hard, and sites do a bad job at providing good meta data.

I think the term "nomad" is probably not applicable in this context given that those countries are offering longer-term residencies. In my view, digital nomadism is the idea of being to move around more often and setting up shop anywhere. It also usually promotes taking non-ecological means of transportation (i.e. planes) and can lead to the replacement of the local population with "digital nomads" renting on Airbnb.
The counter argument is that we like to say here "If you are not paying for it, you're not the customer; you're the product being sold".

I think we'd all agree health data should be private, and it costs money to run a company. I don't know enough about MyFitnessPal to know if they're double dipping and selling both (seems they're owned by PE, which isn't great), but either way, if we want companies to avoid selling data then we need to be okay with paying for them.
