It is not changing the terms for the users of the current version of AKKA. You will be free to use your current version with whatever terms you already have.

You can fork the current version, that's the whole idea of Open Source. But you cannot take away the rights of the AKKA team to create their commercial "fork" either. That much was clear from the beginning I assume. License does what it says it does, it doesn't give you free access to all future forks.

AKKA coming out with a commercial license does not make things worse for you, you can keep on using what you have under the license terms attached to it.

Imagine if AKKA STOPPED making any software. Would that be morally wrong? They are not doing that but they will be providing more software with a different license. Take it or leave it, or fork the existing version with the same license. Ah the beauty of Open Source.
If they're productive enough, they'll be cheap enough that consumers will accept a little taste difference.

> Unless of course you are one of those lucky people who can reliably switch these thoughts on and off at appropriate times

I have no evidence or considrations one way or the other, but I wonder if people without an internal dialogue, without an inner voice, have less stress or anxiety because they never switch those thoughts on or off.
How often are distributed transactions used elsewhere with two-phase commit?

> but they always get quietly sidelined by tax industry lobbyists.

Turbo tax has spent 44 million dollars on lobbying.

The American Medical Association(Physicians) have spent 500 million dollars on lobbying. (All of medical spent about 2 billion)

Its good that people are angry that lobbyists control the nation, but for some reason we give the biggest lobbyists a pass. I don't see the outrage against the top 20 lobbyists, I do (rightly) see it against turbotax.
There’s music controls there. You may also touch the indicators to expand into bigger controls.
If you don't mind using MDM you can get something akin to roaming profiles on iPads. It's an enterprise feature, but it was introduced sometime during iOS 13.

I agree though, native multi-user support would be great. Though, I'd hope it's better than what we got on tvOS.
What are the other problems?
You'd be surprised at how many billions lines of production code are still at 2 (and could not care less whether it's end-of-lined)
They're fantastic for exercise, or light usage like listening to podcasts around the house.

>1. Rust uses Zulip (ie, not Discord or Slack),

The official Rust chat is on Discord.

Now, to Cyberdog's point, there is an IRC channel on libera (that I'm also a part of) and it's even bigger than Zig's channel, but it's "unofficial" and they did ask for an official one. Like, Zig's channel has the advantage of being a direct line to andrewrk which you won't get from the Rust channel.
hmm not seeing it yet - this is very low bandwidth but fixed rate stuff, where the messages being broadcast also change from time to time. But I may not be understanding fountain codes well enough - they sure seem interesting!

Fascinating. I was just thinking that this would be incredibly risky to do in SF. If you rented to them for very cheap for more than 30 days, they'd have the right to live there forever for that much (plus 7% / year which will be nothing).
They were figured out in ka band rf for iridium 24+ years ago, just at not very high data rates. For quite some period of time the entire iridium network worldwide talked to terrestrial networks in only two locations, Hawaii and Arizona.

I'm not sure what you mean by meo operators figuring them out because the only current noteworthy meo operator is o3b and their satellites are bent pipe architecture.

Oneweb satellites, which is presently an incomplete network, also do not implement satellite to satellite data links.
> The US has no such restriction, and so if you cancel a 30 year mortgage there, banks can theoretically go after you for the entire amount of lost profits.

That would be a good explanation for why loans are structured like that in Canada, except for this last sentence - this virtually never happens. I have never seen, let alone taken out, a 30 yr mortgage with a prepayment penalty.

Like, I honestly don’t know if any banks are issuing them.

—editing to add:

Did a little research, and yes - there are some loans with prepayment penalties, but in no cases do they seem to “go after you for the entire amount of lost profits”. It’s generally a fixed %age of the loan value, and the penalty expires fairly early in the loan (2-3 years seems to be common, some go to 5).
Also if you have a phone with NFC (or possibly any device with NFC other than an iPhone) you can just slide the device over the NFC logo and it will switch over to being paired with that device. Really convenient when switching from my computer to phone.
This seems like a marginal improvement at best. If your taxes are at all complicated, this likely won't be sufficient and you'll still be paying professionals. If your taxes are fairly simple, you can already file for free without too much effort. I suppose there is an in-between group who may benefit from saving the $50-$200 for more advanced online self-filing. I've been that person many years in the past, but I could easily afford those fees.

Better to have invested that $15 million in radical ways to simplify this entire insane(ly stupid) process.
A billion pairs of AirPods would weigh around 6614 tons.

I'm admittedly leaving out the cases, but just for lack of time. Somebody please do that math!
(Assuming you're an American). In Canada, "fixed rate" generally means fixed for 5 years only. So while there is a difference between fixed and variable, it's not a huge difference in terms of peace of mind; all mortgages are essentially variable rate in some sense.

A lot of Canadians opt to try their luck with variable, especially since it's usually cheaper on average, and usually cheaper up front.
My household spends 2 weekends per year on taxes. We own a few companies and would otherwise be spending time on those companies(or maybe our families).

A streamlined tax system is worth 4 days per year. I imagine that in the future, it will take more time as our businesses grow.
> That is the problem. You are not including time as a variable in your mental model of how this works.

People are absolutely including time as a variable here. What they're not doing is pretending that time is the only variable.

I can't tell what you're arguing here at this point. This thread seemed to start with you disagreeing (in a very long winded and winding way) that trees are a materially different sort of contribution to the carbon cycle than fossil fuels, but that's precisely where time matters. Every subthread you go on a different tangent with the only unifying theme being "fuck it we can't do anything even if we try" which, sure, that may be true but it has little to do with whether there's a short term carbon cycle.

50 year old trees can only contribute carbon back from 50 years ago or less. They slowly absorb and, given the total biomass of the planet vs the amount burning at any given time, also slowly release it back.

Short of burning down every tree on a continent and preventing any regrowth (probably an even harder project than carbon capture tbh), there are limits to how much carbon surface cycles can add to the system.

Even taking a pessimistic view of how long it takes for a burned tree to have its released carbon captured, the calculus we're faced with (if we insist on burning anything at all at scale anyways) is:

Burn trees: add carbon to the atmosphere that will be reabsorbed by a roughly equivalent amount of plant matter in a century, or

Burn fossil fuels: add carbon to the atmosphere that requires a net increase in planetary plant matter to be reabsorbed.

One of these is clearly better than the other by quite a bit, and saying otherwise is verging on nihilism.

Also you keep saying that no system is 100% efficient but planetary atmospheres are about as close to one as you can possibly get. If the carbon cycle weren't extremely efficient, earth would be like Venus by now.
Much of this was realtors and mortgage brokers pushing buyers into variable for various reasons. One, to get more buying power and for brokers the chance to make more commissions with sorter term variable rate mortgages (more future renewals).
> but someone which $10k didn't move the needle very much

Assuming she gave it away because she is “well off” is just not nice. The journalist I know was poorly paid for a stressful job - the internet has vastly changed the economics of the industry - in fact they lost their job because their is no money in it any more.

I would guess that the writer is a reciprocation type of person: that feels uncomfortable to be just given things. One lady I knew from the UK had it so ingrained that when given a slice of cake, she had to give us something in return. I also see the same thing a lot in New Zealand culture.

There is also a pride aspect. I literally cannot give money to my friends that could really do with it, even though $20 is disposable for me and is really not for them. Social obligation and status signalling make cash really difficult. Oddly enough people often accept gifts of my time and indirect costs, without reciprocation. For example I can spend time and petrol chopping firewood and they will accept the firewood for free, even though it would economically cost me far less to just buy some firewood for them however that would not be acceptable!

Edit: Also she is living in East London which is stereotyped to be relatively poor. The 2021 figures I could find were Waltham Forest (part of Walthamstow) average salary for female £31.6k/year, compared with £27.5k/year for workers in North East England (a poor part of the UK). London is way more expensive to live, so she is relatively worse off at a guess. My stereotype of female journalists is that they are doing it for their beliefs, not for the money (those that chase money go to the dark side).
Are ads a net neutrality issue (and no one realizes)?
Ads eat your device's data. Net neutrality means "that internet service providers should enable access to all content and applications regardless of the source, and without favoring or blocking particular products or websites." But - if ads eat into people's limited data plan, doesn't that impact how they are able to access information?

I know that there are a variety of viewpoints on ads but hoping for the purposes of this discussion it can stay related to more of the consuming device data aspect.
I find it difficult to believe that most of Europe would continue to use their pre-filled tax forms if claims that it incentivized under-reporting were even remotely true.

I won some Beats X from a contest at a conference in 2017, and used them on and off for the first two years. After that they were my daily drivers for any and all workouts.

They would get used at minimum 3 times a week for at least 2 hours, and then the last two years they would get used 7 times a week for at least 1.5 hours.

The last year or so I had to charge them every three workouts, so the battery was lasting 4.5 - 5 hours or so. They would still quick charge though, so 15 minutes of charging would be enough for a long workout.

About a month ago they stopped charging, no matter what I tried. I ended up buying the Beats Flex and the Powerbeats Pro. The Flex at $70 is a steal, and so far lasts about 12 hours before needing recharging. I've been using them almost daily around the house.

The Powerbeats Pro I've been using when heading to the gym when lifting, the lack of cord around the back makes them a better choice.

Anyway, the Beats Flex are holding up well over the last month or so... but the original Beats X definitely held their own too over many years of service!

Really enjoyed this article. Old business partner was at McKinsey and shared a lot of similar things with me. One oddity is how low $16k is. Their salaries are above average big by comparison. Could be they just cheaped out and thought it was adequate but it feels quite small to what I'd expect.

You can get more power in summer by using a vertical bifacial panel positioned E-W.

And if you position it N-S you'll get slightly less power than a standard setup, but it'll be less concentrated in the summer, and also spread through the day more.

How large is the demand for something like this? Are tons of people really going that far out of range of cell signals?

When I lived in the desert, the local newspaper regularly published stories about tourists getting lost/stuck/stranded and then dying.

Going by the newspaper accounts, I'd estimate at least a dozen people died in the desert each year, and that was just in my area.
It reveals absolutely everything about cryptocurrency. This kind of error is simply not possible with traditional finance, and that’s a good thing.
To be clear, I’m not suggesting we remove the ability to compile native extensions.

I’m suggesting we find a better way to build them, something a bit more structured, and decouple that specific use case from setup.py.

It would be cool to be able to structure this in a way that means I can describe what system libraries I may need without having to execute setup.py and find out, and express compile time flags or options in a structured way.

Think of it like cargo.toml va build.rs.
Since they aren't charging any companies that make less than $25 million a year this sounds reasonable.

Yes. Charge $20 per use instead of a subscription. $50 or whatever they want. Just don’t make people sign up for a subscription.

The real question is wether they will actually generate more revenue with the change or perhaps less. There's always some fork on the old licence and it wouldn't be the first time that the fork eventually surpasses the original. Even amongst those who paid for support before the change, some might not be willing to commit to a future of not having a choice.
No misunderstanding... been affected twice with EU trips that included hops to MENA. And if you are somehow disconnected (due to an error on their end, which are quite frequent) it can not re-establish functionality without accessing a US-based cell tower. After the second or third time it happened, I just started carrying a second phone to put in a local SIM. I ended up saving a ton of money in data charges too.
From the article: "The Internal Revenue Service will spend $15 million studying a free, government-backed tax filing system". It's a long way from studying to implementing. Intuit pays their lobbyists to make sure this doesn't happen.

I think their point is not that there are people that far away from a store but that those folks generally make larger bulk purchases when they make the trip to and from the store.

How much money of customers did bagphones burn in comparison to incidents like this?
but thats the point right? aircon in dallas is the biggest energy sink in summer.

combined with the shorter days (compared to the UK) that means that insulation, solar gain control & thermal mass management is critical to reducing power usage.

Boston has double trouble, as in hot(ish) summers, high humidity, and cold-arsed winters.
But then my calls will come from the random area code too. It’d be neat if you could do a dual phone number, where your CID on outbound calls shows as your local area code, but you give out the foreign area code for inbound calls.

But then you mess up callbacks.
It’s pretty bad, especially in the UK since they are facing the energy crisis and the consequences of brexit.
You're ignoring the impact of your money going into the pockets of the very people who are making the problem worse.

Yes, some of charity money actually goes to those in need. But what part of it does go to the people who use that money to further exploit those very people they're helping? What if the total result is actually net-negative?

I believe that greed is a much more common motivator than altruism.
Additional anecdata: My iPhone 12 -> iPhone 13 upgrade smoothly transferred the eSIM as well.
If they're lying or mistaken, let us discuss the lie or mistake, and even the possibility that there could have been a lie or mistake (based on something.) Just dismissing it based on a obvious counterfactual that you're declaring based on no evidence other than that you think users lie and developers don't make mistakes is a waste of time.

If you have some kind of insight into the specific configuration of otter.ai, or evidence that this specific person has made a mistake (and that all of the other people that have also seen this behavior are also mistaken) that would be constructive. As it is, you're not even carrying water for a company, you're offering water to a company that didn't ask for it by denigrating the people around you.
> However, take a look at what changes have been done in GNU Make in recent years. Other than a few bugfixes there was nothing of substance. GNU TexInfo? the same. This is what I mean by "old".

There's a clear scope. It makes sense to only have bugfixes, specially since it's FOSS.

> I get the whole [...] "when it works exactly like it should, why change it"...

Why complain about it then?

> But this is a surefire way to make sure your software is lost and abandoned when the last 2 developers working on it quit.

This is FOSS. You seem to think of this like for-profit software. Development in FOSS is typically done for the developer(s) own need and shared for free with the world on the off-chance that someone else finds it useful, because some people are cool like that. There's no for-profit incentive to make it as widely applicable as possible nor to retain market.

In the case of Texinfo, it's utility is mostly for development in the GNU space. It's essentially to write documentation once and turn it into nicely formed PDFs, single-page HTML, multi-page HTML, and info manuals, each with their format-specific functionality for table of contents and indices fulfilled. That idealizes their documentation for print media, web, and local access.

Do you have a use for that? No? Why do you care if it's lost and abandoned? Yes? Then contribute whatever it is you seem to think it's lacking.

Don't worry about loss of market. The only market developers owe anything to is themselves.

Note that in the US SAR services are not always free and if you have an inReach or similar device you probably also need supplementary SAR insurance. It's cheap, but you still need it.

Single family zoning has become the norm in most of the United States. It's so broken. Even simple duplexes or quad-plexes are not allowed in most single-family zones.

Homeowners benefit because it drives up the prices of homes, which has become one of the most important financial investment tools to normal people in this country.
I don't think it proves any such thing.

The two situations (Estonia and Ukraine) aren't comparable unless one has a preconceived notion that current Russia is intent on conquering as much area militarily as possible. (Which, given history, some might be excused for believing).
