I run a few services (don't quite break even), and host my own blog, etc. I used to use AWS. However, I would spend almost $200/month.

So instead I now rent $200 of colo space from a data center. That gives me 5U of space per month. I bought my own servers. I can now host way more for absolutely no more marginal cost. Working on adding GPU instances for some AI projects.

So the most secure cloud for me is my own cloud.

I wish there was a service where I could purchase a computer that I never see from a company who I then pay rent to host in their data center. The computer is mine, and there is a strict contract indicating entry into / out of the cubby it's in.

For example, my data center won't open my cabinet unless I request it and there is a strict set of law as to what they can and cannot do with it.

Moreover, unlike AWS, they cannot 'terminate' my account. While they can stop the lease... the computer is my own and the contract specifies that I have X many days to remove it.

That would be true ownership. The idea that amazon can shut down an app in one day is what made me leave AWS for good.
A free emergency service is despicable because it’s not forever. Really?
Oh, it's needed alright. It signals to the others in that sprint planning meeting that you are an extreme athlete who cares not for such things as aesthetics. And in case they can't quite make it out at the other end of the conference table, we'll make it bright orange.

Cryptographic libraries might be okay right now but traditionally have had very widespread export controls. So, linux kernel and basically anything doing crypto. Anything with german authors has irrevocable control tied to that. If there's a GPL program that decrypts blurays it's likely a violation of the DMCA, not sure if one exists right now.

For patents, there's tons. x264 is an easy one.

1. Ah I see, because Israel never signed the document they’re a-okay. It doesn’t matter what actions you take as long as you have meaningless pieces of paper that back you up.

Note that Iran still hasn’t violated the NPT. If all that matters to you is international law, they can continue their enrichment program until they are ready to make a weapon and then just withdraw from the treaty.

2. Neither of those things are the same thing as advocating/desiring genocide.

> No, any of the banks will give you a 30 year amortization.

A federally regulated bank may offer a 30 year ammortization if you put i ≥20% equity. Non-federally regulated institutions (e.g., provincially regulated credit unions) may offer more options too.
This is the true life hack, heh. I learned something new today.

Starlink V2 will bring very large antennas to Starlink satellites which will enable direct 5G connectivity, but that connectivity will last for a few seconds, with perhaps thirty minutes between connections.

It sounded like temporary connectivity was only initially; once they have a full shell of V2 satellites I would expect constant connectivity.
How many times has a user said they didn't configure something that way and when you checked they did and they were thinking about a different setting for something else? Realisitically, it's actually the most likely thing that happened.

And he did have it configured to send out emails. So that part is true.
Maybe we editors should include a REALLYIMPORTANT flag too. But the fact that I never thought about it before reading that article suggests it's not really important.
A lot of serious hikers use dedicated devices for this kind of functionality. It's expensive-ish, and the chance of needing it is small. But if you do need it then it could be an actual life-or-death situation, so it's worth it if you're out in the middle of nowhere regularly.

This raises BOM costs and has significant operating costs. How many users are likely to continue to pay for this service once the two years are up?

It's a great feature but it's far from a guaranteed money maker. This could just as likely disappear from future iPhone models.

edit: also competing dedicated devices also include the cost of SAR insurance in their monthly fees, which are significant: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/837461/pn/010-06000-SU

It starts at $15 a month but any serious user is paying more like $35-65 a month.
I mean, there is this clause in the 8k:

“On September 7, 2022, Partner and Thermo entered into a lock-up and right of first offer agreement that generally (i) requires Thermo to offer any shares of Globalstar common stock to Partner before transferring them to any other Person other than affiliates of Thermo and (ii) prohibits Thermo from transferring shares of Globalstar common stock if such transfer would cause Thermo to hold less than 51.00% of the outstanding common stock of the Company for a period of 5 years from the Service Launch (as defined below). This agreement does not prohibit the Company from entering into a change of control transaction at any time.”
Apple just released a security release - iOS 12.5.6 for the iPhone 5s a few days ago (8/31/2022). I doubt they have stopped releasing security updates for the iPhone 6.
Independent tests have shown that the latest high-end Garmin devices are more accurate than previous Apple watches due to support for dual-frequency GPS. This makes a significant difference when signals are obstructed by buildings or trees. The new Apple Watch Ultra will now have feature parity so it should be just as accurate.

I'm not sure recouping some of that wastage is worth the switch. You wouldn't eliminate all waste since there will always be some on site modification. I'd like to see the comparison in time spent assembling all of these individual segments vs framing a wall with an air gun. The segments look a lot more fiddly to me compared to laying out pieces on the deck and banging them together with a gun and then just standing the wall up. From their guide on the site:

> A typical WALL block weighs around 40-60kg and can generally be carried by two people.

They're a little light on detail about how these wall segments join and seal to each other so that could be a bunch more work. All this is considering you'd be able to get pre-manufactured blocks from somewhere, if you had to CNC and assemble them yourself then the labor is off the chart.

I love to see mutual aid! These microgrants are a perfect example of building community together. Finding people whose care and passion improves the lives around them and enabling them to do so.

We have so many people looking to put in the work to make things better, but are just lacking the small amount of funding to make it happen.

There's a huge body of theory about mutual aid out there, but it's always nice to see it done in practice.

And that would be in some sense sensible and perfectly correct.

> We would only recognize it as a "glitch" if we had a specification to compare it to,

Nah. I disagree. If you are playing a game and you fall through a wall you can call that a glitch without seeing the game's specification. It is because that experience is not in line with the rest of the system.

Imagine if we find that a specific reaction between high-energy particles goes measurably differently in one bounded patch of the universe. We find this randomly. Then an army of physicist descends on it. They measure a lot. Perform experiments. They characterise the effect to a high degree. Map out the precise boundaries. Map out what exactly happens on the boundary, and so on and so on. ... Is this just physics? Yes! Would this effect feel like a "glitch"? Also yes!

> I don't understand what "gaining root" would mean either.

Transcending the laws of our Universe. Being able to change them. Rewriting the very fabric of reality. Becoming god or gods. Peaking behind the curtain and finding a brand new playground beyond it. Being able to change PI to be actually 42.

I will forever maintain that loot boxes are inherently worse than casino gaming because they target people who haven't had the education to understand probability, and laws should be altered to regulate them just as all casino games are regulated. What is a loot box but a way to groom children to gamble away their money? And even worse, there's no return on these boxes. Not only are they randomized, but in the event that you win a desirable prize (and these are few and far between... the game developers know this), you receive a digital asset that can't be traded. Some companies are going into NFTs in order to justify this behavior by allowing people to trade these assets, but that's essentially just gambling one step removed.

EA made $1.6B last year from "Ultimate Game Mode" in their FIFA game, which essentially allows gamers to gamble away their money to access players from across FIFA leagues to build into a custom team. A reddit thread I found showed that many people were spending $1K+ annually just to have access to the same characters year after year in this gambling scheme because the characters are not transferable to next year's game.

Thanks, that's an good breakdown. I'm curious, is this an ideal or a pragmatic approach? At first blush, I understand the distinctions but it feels more like a theoretical organization rather than a real one. I've personally never worked in an org with all those roles so, as you say, they tend to get mashed together.

It does seem like there would be a naturally pressure to lump together the roles. I suspect that if your ideal week happens too much (where the manager does nothing at all), executives would question why they're needed.

I'd highly recommend the garmin inreach mini. I do a bit of hiking and traveling in remote places and it's a good peace of mind. It's dedicated to saving your life, the battery can last a lot longer than a cell phone, and it has texting if you need to reach out in a non-emergency.

It costs about 50$ or so to register for the year and you just pay for a month when you need it. Well worth the secuirty. It also has a dedicated SOS button under a cap that you can press during an emergency. It will send your location to an international monitoring center that will dispatch someone local to your location for rescue. You can opt in for insurance that I believe covers an air lift.

It also can double as a location tracker or rudimentary GPS if you need directions to civilization or lake.
Assuming I was building in the Southeast where I live, that someone handed me a blank check, and without drilling down to specific products?

- Hardwood timber framing

- Stone or masonry curtain wall from the foundation to the bottom of the window sills.

- Fully sealed crawlspace with inline registers broadcasting conditioned air into the space

- Insulate the curtain wall instead of the interstitial space between floor joists

- Standard soffit-to-peak venting in the attic space

- Two layers of plywood subfloor separated by a layer of tar paper

- Double layered sheetrock on all interior walls

- Wall-to-wall sheet vinyl floor treatments in all of the rooms where water is a thing.

- 3/4" hardwood flooring everywhere water isn't a thing.

- Passive/active solar combo meal on the roof to offset any efficiency losses incurred by "loose" construction methods

- Temperature & humidity sensors in the crawl space & plenum

- Wood window frames and sills. Modern plastic window frames and sills are excellent at hiding a problem until it's turned into a $50k project (see also: aluminum siding). By comparsion wood trim acts as a bellwether. I'd much rather have to scrape, recaulk, and paint a window than be looking at deconstructing an exterior wall that's rotted to the foundation.

Apple figured out how to effectively buy a satellite network without inheriting their pile of debt! What happens to the apple funded satellites if Globalstar goes under, is there some special clause that moves them directly to Apple?

If Apple really does acquire, I hope they ditch the bent pipe architecture, work on sat-to-sat connection, and most importantly for us, allow 2-way messaging on phones from sat, enough to send photos and stuff.

> this commit removes the "scriplet injection"

Considering this is stated in ManifestV3's announcement and that no APIs have been made for it:

> Beginning in Manifest V3, we will disallow extensions from using remotely-hosted code. This will require that all code executed by the extension be present in the extension’s package uploaded to the webstore. Server communication (potentially changing extension behavior) will still be allowed. This will help us better review the extensions uploaded, and keep our users safe. We will leverage a minimum required CSP to help enforce this (though it will not be 100% unpreventable, and we will require policy and manual review enforcement as well).

Scriptlet injection is as good as dead.

> and cosmetic filtering features,

Cosmetic filtering can only happen by making a service worker, that will turn on five seconds after the page has loaded.

> the "read/modify data" permission isn't getting removed by MV3?

No, but Google will heavily restrict any extension using this permission, and make the requirements to be published on their extension store so draconian that an ad blocking extension (which directly threatens their business model) has no chance of ever being accepted.

So, no, Google, as usual when they implement a new API, does half assed shit, breaks compatibility, forces everyone to follow on their bad decisions before deprecating it later. Going all in on MV3 is just bringing yourself to the slaughter, and MV3 should be laughed off by any serious extension developer.
I won't be surprised if Apple removes the port completely instead.
