I'm curious to know: why did you include two routing engines (OTP and valhalla)? Wouldn't e.g. OTP sufficient and use much less resources compared to 2 setups?

And why not reuse one of the existing open source map or directions front-ends?
We use handouts to prevent revolutions and political instability. You don't recognize the absolutely massive benefits that those payments have to everyone because they get to ignore the poor.
I really like that the author helped them and it sounded odd to me to read "The prevailing wisdom for this seafaring situation is “Don’t Stop.”", before I realised that in different countries there are different threats. Sailing mainly in the Baltics, there is the opposing rule of having the duty to help people in distress at sea.

I'm not sure I fully understand the "learning" part, isn't this a bit of survivor bias, especially the boldness part? Risking all your money in a society with a safety net is different to me than risking your own life on high sea, mainly w/o knowing in what situation you bring yourself. There is a huge group who's story can't be told anymore. However, maybe I'm already too lazy and unwilling to take risks.
Spotify supposedly pays around 70% of subscription and advertising revenue to labels and rights holders. Since payments are not pro rata per listener but are aggregated over all listens, if your fake customer streams more than the average you could quite possibly make an actual profit from this technique.

There is something funny about 1 day old account with pre-canned anti-US talking points.

I am in Eastern Europe and US has been a great ally doing everything they can to keep us safe from Russian aggression, while Germany would watch us get raped and murdered and enslaved and do nothing.

As for refugees, Poland, Romania and Slovakia have taken several millions of them despite being poor compared to rich Germany.
This is so fantastic. That a 'Christian' university would do this is kind of insane to me, but I take it.

So many problems with nuclear in the last 50 years are that there simply are not enough experiments and research reactors.

If you don't have them, then how can you ever test new materials.

The original molten salt experiment reactor was only not that much bigger then this university reactor and didn't cost a huge amount, but it lead to such amazing research results including new materials that were designed when making it.

New materials can't easily be qualified without having the necessary research infrastructure.
I haven't. Thanks for the recommendation!
> Are you even sure which one you need?

Any examples of when you need "now + 24h" instead of same time tomorrow?

For example, daylight savings may start the next day, and time will be adjusted... And everything will be done 1 hour earlier than today despite the hour on the clock being "same time" as today, so what? Other than your body needing to readjust the sleep cycles, noone else seems to actually care.

Meanwhile, when I setup cron to do something daily, I don't care about this at all, so what if on one day, the interval will be 23 or 25 hours?
I dont know, if the freedom to circumvent the state and attack it at the cellular level is really worth defending. Oligarchs in the west had that ability since the 1960s and look what it got us.

In this world going ever faster down the drain attacking something that compared to its peers seems fairly benevolent like a democratic state, looks ever more like a bunch of cocks, sitting on a manure heap, sounding the cry to battle, while the whole assembly drifts downstream in a flood.
Hi! It looks really REALLY cool!

Is there any kind of detection/stealthiness benchmark compared to libraries such as puppeteer-stealth or fakebrowser?

Honestly no matter how feature-complete and powerful a scraping tool is, the main "selling point" for me will always be stealthiness/human like behavior no matter how crappy the dev experience is.(and IMHO that's the same for most serious scrapers/bot makers)

Will it always be free or could it turn into a product/paid SaaS?(kind of like browserless) I'm kind of wondering if it's worth learning it if the next cool features are going to be for paying users only.

Is this something that you use internally or is it just a way to promote your paid products?

Thanks :)
Duh. You can disable one with a bouncy ball. That's 1 out of 10-100 million for the same price of an aircraft carrier.
Yes now go ahead and pay out the benefits in a demurrage currency so that benefits payments can't be withheld from the economy which means the amount you need to inject will be much lower.
Some are even worse. I'm not sure why exactly providing Linux would vary by region, I don't expect it to have any kind of regulatory issue, like say radios would.

But a few months ago, I had bought an HP EliteBook 845 G8 for work. Note the 5, it's the AMD version. We went through an intermediary to buy (our usual supplier), and I suspected there was some funny business going on, since it physically had a Realtek WiFi card while the merchant's description said Intel and I specifically wanted Intel. This wasn't some kind of shady seller off Amazon, mind, but a reputable local business.

Lo and behold, HP's site didn't have any such model. I was checking it from the computer in front of me. Not only did their online store not seem to carry any EB845, even the "models" only tangentially mentioned it. They wouldn't show any details when clicking on it.

But if I went to Google and looked for the computer's manual, it would show up, on the local HP France site, in French. The warranty check would correctly identify the product, with the correct country and date of purchase. Digging around the manuals, with my SKU in hand, it was indeed supposed to have the RTL Wifi card.
I think Tuxedo sells similar laptops to System76 with Linux preinstalled and reasonable shipping rates within Europe:

well I would be identifiable, but anyway part of their argument is to make risk coverage easier, so they don't have to manage FF but do manage Chrome and Edge - didn't say anything about Brave. :)

At any rate I will just keep going as is until I get ordered to remove and then make arguments.
Cyberpunk dystopia realized. It is not so hard to imagine a near future where corporations have much more power than states.

Imagine you do something like this in the near future. You are banned from all communications. Alpha corp. reports it to VISA corp. and all your money is confiscated. State can't help you as you do not have a way to communicate with it, don't have a way to start any legal process as you do not have a way to pay. All your daily subscriptions to housing, mobility, entertainment are cancelled and you are homeless the same day.

The only way for you to stay alive is to hike to lawless desert city of "Kowloon 2.1". You walk by the highways observing huge OLED billboards. They show presidential elections. This time it is some adult TV reality show star competing with tanned bodybuilder.

> There are portable version of Firefox if you want to use it.

Using that when you know the company has told you about their security policy forbidding it is, ummm, not wise. Especially not as a new hire.

If work says "You use Edge, and are not allowed to use Firefox", then you use Edge, or you ask for an exemption from that policy if you have a good reason (and I'd want that in writing if it's an official security policy). Or you get a different job at a company without that policy.

It does make sense because they will claim that the Ukrainians did it, which they’ve already started to lay the groundwork for.

So. Stupid. You can't choose Ubuntu and 32GB RAM at the same time.

I need 32GB. Because modern developer applications are incredibly RAM hungry. My Jetbrains IDEs eat up easily a dozen GB for indexes on my projects. gopls takes up a couple GB. Firefox fluctuates, but often half a dozen depending on how many tabs I have. Add in a few electron apps, and I'm at 27GB used right now.

You can't even choose the top CPU option with Ubuntu, you're stuck with the i5. I want the multitasking performance.

I'm currently on the previous generation Dell XPS 13 (9310), and I'm still satisfied, I'm not actually looking for a new laptop. But it was the exact same story when I was shopping for it. Impossible to get the developer edition, so I had to settle with getting it with Windows (and 32GB RAM) and setting up the dual-boot myself. Arguably it's more resellable because I can just wipe the Linux partition, re-merge the partitions, and it'll look pretty much stock. But meh. Worth mentioning that Linux Wi-Fi drivers for the model I have is terrible because they had two different chips they were using for XPS laptops and getting 32GB meant I would get that "upgraded" (but actually worse) chip. Had to fight with kernel upgrades to get a patch ahead of time to make it usable.
I have a suspicion that this is because their systems will still scan this guys' pictures and will still trip on this or another picture, and they can't or don't want to disable checks on his account... so that their conclusion is "fuck it, it's easier to keep him banned".
i18n is hard and I haven't seen anyone other than Apple do it properly.

On Dell's website, when you visit the UK store and you are not in the UK, it prompts you with a modal that covers the center of the screen to switch to your local version and when you switch, it does't take you to the product page or sorry this is not available in your country page but to homepage.

It's such a poor experience.

On the other hand, if you visit Apple, Apple will simply provide you a passive but prominent banner at the top with an option to change country store and it will take you to the correct product page. The website pages are consistent between countries and you can even guess the product page in another country by changing country code in the URL(http://apple.com/uk/iphone-13/ => http://apple.com/de/iphone-13/).

I guess, unlike Apple, Dell and others use fancy optimisation and analytics to provide the best and most optimised local experience which leads to inconsistencies and complexities.

I raised this point a while back in another discussion and was assured this kind of thing couldn't happen:

The biggest worry about these kind of situations is not that mistakes are made, but that it's almost impossible to make contact with a real human being to put things right [even, as in this case, when press and police are involved]. It's only a matter of time before someone loses their livelihood or even their life over this kind of cock-up.

Hmm, you're thinking that if a gun is pointed at a drone and launching grenades at it at 500 meters per second, the drone can dodge the grenades with high probability if it's 3 meters or more away from the gun? 5 meters is 10 milliseconds, and the assured kill radius of the grenades is presumably at least 200 mm; for the drone to move 200 mm in 10 ms it needs to average 20 m/s in an unpredictable direction, which means it needs to accelerate to 40 m/s in 10 ms, 4000 m/s/s, 408 gees. How do you propose for the drone to accelerate at 400 gees, other than being hit by a bullet?
Yeah, I agree that your take is cynical and judgemental to boot. No need to pass judgment on other people's value system esp. when the matter is very personal and won't affect other individuals or creatures and just deals with their subjective worldview and how they make sense of their role and contribution to the society or humanity in general.
I remember the last time Dell did the whole Ubuntu on Dell about 15-20 years ago. They claimed it was available in the UK but it wasn't really.

Have they stopped gimping the Linux versions by removing hardware that doesn't have Linux drivers like the fingerprint reader rather than doing a Lenovo and writing the drivers for them?

> Next let's get rid of all the artists and replace them with AI. Redistribute their skills so we can all make art. Oh wait that just happened. You're a hypocrite that wants to redistribute the wealth of others, but not your own.

Recognising that doing the former without the latter demonstrably hurts people isn’t being hypocritical. Hence all the talk of post-scarcity. Post-scarcity for me not for thee is very much a sign of the times though.
Works great statistically if you don't much care for your own particular continued survival.
For many years, Intel had quite a process advantage over the competition. That of course helped them a lot with making low power processors vs. what AMD could achieve. And the non-x86 competition had basically stopped making processors in this domain. However, there was a reason that RISC designs were used in most low power applications like embedded and of course smart phones.

Yes, with the complexity and transistor budgets, the disadvantages of x86 can be somewhat glossed over, otherwise they would have vanished from the market long ago, but they add a certain overhead which cannot be ignored when looking at low power applications. The efforts the CPU needs to take until it can execute the commands is higher and x86 requires more optimizations done by the CPU than RISC designs. Which today also contain a translation layer, but a way simpler one tha x86, as the assembly instructions match modern CPU structures better.

It is probably no coincidence that Intel, which had to work around the issues of executing CISC code on a modern CPU chose the EPIC design for the Itanium. Which goes beyond RISC in putting compexity towards the code generation vs. on-cpu optimizations. Too bad it didn't work out - it might have, if AMD had not added 64bit extensions to x86. While there were certainly a lot of technical challenges which were never completely solved, the processors seemed to perform quite well when run with well optimized code. Perhaps they were just one or two process generations to early. While considered large for that time, their transistor count was small compared to a modern iPhone processor. I wonder how they would perform if just ported to 7nm (the latest CPUs were 32nm).

It is the developer edition. The important thing is that developers cannot escape.

It really an immense design flaw in my opinion and honestly the problems here should be predictable enough to not even make the mistake in the first place.

>(If death truly had negative infinity utility, it would overpower the benefit of everything and we couldn't do anything.)

It's true death has utility in an economic sense, as one needs not look further than the funeral/death care industry to find utility. But if we are talking about death of the self, the negative infinite utility claim seems more convincing than the non-negative-infinite one. In fact, negative infinite utility might be a near-perfect synonym for death.

And at the risk of sounding overly nihilistic, it may well overpower the benefit of everything/anything, again if we are specifically talking about the self.

Anyone have more info on the Imagination BXE-4-32 GPU this is using, especially the availability of open-source Linux drivers?

A few months ago the Imagination site had a press release[0] about upstreaming graphics drivers to Linux which mentioned "B-Series" and "BXS-4-64" -- is that close enough to the BXE-4-32 that driver compatibility can be expected? I tried searching through the kernel source for 'BXS' and 'Imagination', but the only relevant hit was for some unrelated GMA 500 device from Intel that used licensed Imagination tech.

Nope, ain't that thick (< 1 inch). Probably built with multiple expendable flood chambers though, so swarm would likely need to make its way through the first hole. Plausible a single shaped charge does enough damage, but more likely some single-digit of hits needed.

Swimming + flying cheap drones doable:

At (wild overestimate) $1k per drone an attacker can wield 13 million drones for the equivalent cost of an aircraft carrier, not including ongoing expenses.
No updates at all. On one of the screens the buttons look a little bit off with modern windows themes but perfectly functional.

As an employee you have a duty of loyalty to your employer. I’m not sure about side projects generally, that is probably a Cyprus specific question. But I’d be shocked if it’s legal anywhere to release a product that competes with what you work on at your job. That’s just common sense. You would likely be violating not just your employment contract, but also trade secret, copyright, patents, etc. This is egregious enough behavior to even be criminally charged in many places.

2. Independent of (1), and under general circumstances (not violent boss, etc.), should OP relate his lawyer's interpretation to his boss & company? (I'm guessing that most^ would answer this with a no -- boss is not going to follow OP around on the weekends to monitor his side project's progess).
