Doesn't a server author get to decide what an error is? You could always just decide the fault was in the client, not the server.

For example, I worked with one CDN company where the engineers decided that injecting random NULL bytes into the TCP stream of an HTTP request was perfectly valid. They obviously are in fact idiots.

This is similar to how AWS can always claim 5-9s of uptime. They decide what counts as downtime. Even when large portions of us-east-1 are broken, they have 5-9s of uptime.
"Banning you as a customer" is like a billion times more likely than any of those other things. That's the only real thing to be concerned about in that list. AWS is too big to fail; if it came to it, I bet the US Government would bail them out. But they can ban you at any time; that's a serious concern of mine and the main reason why I mirror all of my AWS data to Backblaze B2.
Are those people planning to all stay on the same place? South America is quite big.

Anyway, I'm not sure rent is high on those place (or rater specifically Mexico City) because of immigration. I can't imagine deciding to move to Mexico and picking specifically Mexico City instead of somewhere else (it would be like deciding to go to Brazil and insisting on living in São Paulo - people have many reasons for living there, remote working immigrants have almost none). At the same time, there are plenty of reasons to have expensive rents there that don't depend on immigrants.
I own 0 and if I were a gambling man I'd be short.
Pretty obvious to me this stuff should be illegal. Absolute nonsense to pretend a for profit computer program has the right to use one’s IP for training.
Makes me want to move to Chicago tbh. I'm tired of not being able to afford a home and paying out my ass for rent in Bay Area/Seattle/NYC.
Kinda like Wolfram Alpha?
Yes that seems to be a mistake. Not sure what their core market is today, maybe they rely more on an enterprise sales channel. I’d still recommend checking them out, I just hope they stay in business because I like the pricing, feature set and support! Last time I checked Cloudflare and fastly were very expensive once you need more advanced features.

> no more loud fans running at full whack, no more spinning rust slowing things down, no more expensive briefcase sized laptops with 40min battery life, operating systems where everything just works out of the box without fumbling over which floppy has the right driver that won't randomly crash the OS, fast internet and easy piracy, better malware protection and security out of the box, no more collecting stacks of optical media (ok, that was pretty fun), etc.

TBH i grew up with IBM PC compatibles (my "upgrade history" was PC XT clone, PC AT clone, AMD 386, Pentium MMX, Pentium 2, Athlon64 and then modern stuff) and i never remember thinking any of that being much of an issue - and i knew enough about PCs to have built my own since pretty much the first one (the PC XT clone i used was a bunch of randomly thrown components together) and programmed them since the beginning too.

Like sure, they most likely were things some people fussed about, but i never remember even thinking about these.

The only thing i always remember being an issue was floppy disks being horribly unreliable.
The number of feature areas where Figma succeeded and Adobe failed is astounding. The closest analogue I can think of is SpaceX and Boeing.

Figma solved online tooling, collaboration, interaction protoyping, design systems, and stakeholder review with a single product. Their renderer can handle hundreds of frames in the same screen with no performance degradation.

Meanwhile Adobe continues to struggle putting together version of photoshop or lightroom on a tablet that people like.

This is true, but in this case it's somewhat warranted. Part of what I like about Figma is that it's browser based and pretty simple. This is in stark contrast to Adobe's products. I really hope this isn't absorbed into some bloated CC subscription package.

The reason this anti-corporate stuff appears is because the point of sale is also the best moment Figma competitors who no doubt lurk on here have to throw their name out there and convert users.

> So is it possible this is a fake breach in order to scrub further damaging evidence of others involved in the original 2016 cover up?

Can you elaborate what scrub means in this context? In what ways would this breach cover up the 2016 breach? Would the prosecutors suddenly lose their memory of the 2016 breach? Would evidence suddenly go missing?

Decentralization and bidirectional real-time communications. I don't mean blockchain. I mean no servers with end-to-end encryption, no third parties of any kind.

It doesn’t. I’m in the EU.

There seems to be a false idea that only the USA has tax loop holes. I assure you. It’s not the case. And tax heavens are also way easier to use as a EU citizen because there’s no global income declaration required.
I don't get the plausible activity bit. Just tell them it is your travel phone and be done.
It's the explicit purpose of the submodule. It's like a microprocessor with fine-grained clockspeed control (fraction of the main CPU clock) and like 9 instructions that focus on driving GPIO pins. There's FIFO queues for pushing/pulling data from/to the PIO from/to the main CPU, so you don't have to waste any real clock cycles (other than to make sure your buffers aren't starved)
I guess the oft-cited advice to travel with a burner phone even applies to the USA. Sad to hear. I hope Wyden is successful in changing this practice, but I very much doubt that it'll change.

Has anyone that this happen by US border patrol? What are the specifics?
Any supporting articles that would ease minds?

Yes. Put a different way: Friction always reduces conversion. The "conversion" in this case is cancellation. Hence, friction reduces cancellation.
And conforming to HTTP is a good thing when you are writing a server, where you want all your responses to be perfectly formed. But for a proxy that is mostly passing through other people's traffic unaltered, it is not so important.
> I would say that your position is equivalent to saying "Why are you so upset about the skateboard on the staircase? People can fall down stairs without slipping on a skateboard and anyway as far as I know no one has slipped and fell on this skateboard yet."

Well put. I've found this to be a common and annoying class of flawed discourse: comparing artificial problems of greater severity or potential to that of related but lesser natural and intrinsic problems as a justification for it being acceptable... you can apply the same reasoning to justify making everything as badly as possible, it's nonsense.
YouTube premium pays creators more per view than an ad-watcher pays, which probabaly means that the amount of money YouTube earns through a premium subscriber is more than they get from ads watched by an average user in a month.

So, I would say it's unlikely Google will change this up. Premium is expensive and Google knows how easy it is to download AdBlock, even on mobile, so they'll be playing with fire.
"Pina"[1] by Wim Wenders (2011).

It's special because IMO it's one of those very rare 3D movies that really was thought out and precisely tailored for its medium, 3D cinema. It must be seen in 3D, in a theatre, to get its full splendour, with life-size dancers on screen. It's available on Amazon Prime though it probably loose 90% of its magic on a TV.

Not tiring at all, when it's not a trope. This forum contains a surprising number of posts of sometimes ridiculously blind US-praising that is rooted in simple ignorance of how things run elsewhere and in the US.

Concerning taxes though, I'll have to (quasi) side with you. 1040EZ is as easy as it gets. One could of course argue that in that case, in which the IRS has the numbers already, why do you have to be forced to do your taxes at all (think Germany).

That argument would have weight if CO2 emission wasn't going the way of slavery.

The old generic argument "nuclear because CO2 is bad" doesn't work, because there's now a superior non-fossil alternative. Nuclear rested on its laurels, its supporters thinking it was the only alternative when fossil fuels had to be abandoned, and it's adrift now that it's no longer entitled to be fossil fuel's successor.
For only those two reasons? You best be joking

“Priors” in the “Bayesian priors” sense. Beliefs represented as probabilities.

“Expert” is that you’re asking people who should know what they’re talking about, not random laypeople.

“Elicitation” is that there’s a whole process to it. You don’t just ask “What are the odds this movie will do $100 million in domestic box office in its first month?”. You ask lots of smaller questions and use visuals to build up an answer.

I also like how “expert elicitation” sounds like we should be doing a good job eliciting!
So, on that, it is surprisingly difficult to get rid of hard coded credentials and funnily vendors like tychotic and hashicorp are supposed to prevent that by having some api thing that integrates with scripts.

That said, tychotic,cyberark and pals that manage credentials almost always need domain admin. I think just moving to full AAD and azure key vault might be better but realistically this is the nature of the beast. If I had to guess the "network share" is probably a GPO on a DC that is used by tychotic, anything short of that is ridiculously bad. GPOs are shared to all machines so they can be pushed to them so you see creds in there sometimes if scripts need them, the thinking being "if the bad guys are in the network we have bigger issues" (again with the perimeter centric intuitive security mindset).
This is a good opportunity to test your backup/restore from the cloud functionality.
That analogy may be more insightful than you meant it to be.

Animal cells (e.g., the ones in your body or mine) do not have cell walls. They do have membranes surrounding the cells, but they aren't walls.

In the same way, any country has borders, but there's a lot of scope for variation in what they allow across the border under what conditions. "Open borders" does not mean "no borders".

For instance, the borders between countries in the Schengen Area of Europe are "open", even though those countries still have borders. This has been the case since 1995. Civilization there does not appear to have fallen so far.
Google most likely serve an order of magnitude of that and use C++. Rust is definitly a good fit but saying that other language can't do it where there are much larger service than cloudflare out there not using Rust...

Netflix is serving TB/sec using Nginx just fine.
The "Practical Deep learning" course from fast.ai has a section on NLP that's probably a good starting point.
So Adobe screwed their users by making them switch to a subscription model like Figma has used from day one?
I have often wondered why gun control advocates in the US haven't taken the ammunition approach. Is there some precedent in the courts that limitations on ammunition are equivalent to those on the firearms themselves? I.E. ammunition commonly used for legal purposes cannot be banned?

> to miss the point of the section 230 debate. All of the stuff here is about what the law is now

This is something that kind of irritates me about Mike Masnick (who I generally enjoy reading). He always seems so focused on the current state of the law that he seems blind to the debate.
Yes, they do, but not all people carry laptops where pretty much everyone will have a smartphone. There have been references to Cellebrite devices which target smartphones. So when all you have is a hammer, you focus on the nails.

There are stories online of people having a "travel" laptop where they fill their USB/Thunderbolt ports with epoxy or similar to prevent device connections by anyone not just at border crossings.
Stuff like...tychotic helps prevent that :P

No because if it's standard, they will ask you to disable travel mode and download all the data. You can say no, but you can't refuse and cross the border.

It's not a technical problem.
I haven’t seen anyone saying the founders shouldn’t have done this or that they wouldn’t have done the same in their shoes. I’m allowed to be happy for the founders and also hate Adobe and worry about the future of a product I use at the same time
Why is buy and hold a "pessimal strategy"?
It'd take me a while to find it, but I remember reading an interview with an engineer about that aircraft. He said it was one of the least airworthy aircraft to ever have flown. It was a technology demonstrator, so that doesn't really surprise me too much.
In the examples that you site, the acquisitions were complementary additions. In this case, Adobe already has a competing product suite.
What hurt rust is the fanboys

Look at the original title:

And look what's being reported "rust-written", it's not the case with any other languages, and that's why some people are against it, because fanboyism takes over rational decisions

>"A lightbulb containing some plants," makes sense, not "surrounding". It's too small to surround anything, which humans (and apparently, current AI) understand. Paradoxically, only primitive language models would actually understand the inverted sentences; proper AIs should, like humans, be confused by them; since zero human talks like that.

Not sure this is credible. Most if not all human adults are capable of understanding what young children just learning to speak mean most of the time, not only people with very low IQs. So why would this be any different? Presumably the smarter the AI the better it can understand poor grammar.
You're just plain wrong.

15 minutes is 75 confirmations.

The Ethereum network has never deviated by more than 2 confirmations (24 seconds) and with PoS this is even less likely to happen.

Finally, the likelihood of that happening AND a car buyer colluding with block producers to scam you is effectively zero.

You're FAR more likely to be struck by lightning in the 15 seconds it takes the driver to leave than you are to have their transaction reversed on the Eth2 blockchain.

I'll admit I name dropped my own product a lot. As a programmer I'm a little embarrassed, bordering on shameless. But as a single founder it means I have to do marketing, which means I have to be a little shameless.
>The mining process provides a fixed amount of network security. $125,000 per 15000 transactions. The fact that it would still cost that much money even with zero transactions is not a feature. It's not a good thing.

Completely wrong, you cant know exactly how many transactions are processed per bitcoin block. The introduction of the lightning network and other 2nd layers mean any one of the ~1500txs per block could in reality be a batch of a 1,000,000 or more transactions being settled. There could easily be 15,000,000,000,000,000 txs per block, think about what that does to any $/tx calculation.

Bitcoin is cheaper than visa because it is designed to process infinite transactions for a fixed security cost.
The line between "chip" and CPU has always been a bit blurry. Anything that deals with USB or any other complex protocol is probably based on a tiny CPU (8051s are still weirdly common).

Software runs the world, but some of it is just cleverly disguised as hardware.
I've haven't worked anywhere where Docker runtime is used outside local development machines - container images are run on one of the 10+ various container services each cloud provider have.

Secondly the performance hit of running containers doesn't factor into any decision making - its all around self sufficiency and agility of running in the cloud vs dealing with corporate on-prem that can take weeks or months to provision things.

Fair enough. I just expect that if someone needs to talk to Yvon Chouinard, a phone will absolutely appear even if he doesn't "own" a phone.
There is the story of Jonah inside the whale, and art is a thing. So are metaphors. Maybe some english-speaking community uses "wolf surrounding a camp" to mean a person is in the belly of the beast, whatever the beast may mean. The thing with language is that it's flexible, ever-evolving, and people do come up with new uses all the time. That's why it's a challenge for AI to be considered generally intelligent when it comes to language use. Humans aren't merely consulting a dictionary when they talk. As Wittgenstein argued, meaning is use, and dictionaries are updated to reflect that use.

Plants inside a lightbulb could come to symbolize green tech, or whatever. We can make up the meaning as we go along, and if enough people find it useful, it becomes part of the language.
IRS equivalent of the jurisdictions I fall under, talking to friends, talking to people who are into this, forums. I’m lucky to have a very good account who often gives me suggestions and who is happy to validate or invalidate my crazier ideas. The same way you get into any hobby I guess.
I can understand that. I have a habit of doing that with things I could just be enjoying more. BUT I do love seeing other people's book lists to add more books to me "Need to read" list!
Adobe has a long history of increased prices with stagnating products, the entire creative suite subscription pricing model is just so user hostile. I am not necessarily against subscriptions, but the complexity of the packages and dark patterns of hiding cancelation fees on monthly plans and offering reductions when someone tries to cancel is just a bad experience. For the vast majority of users core products like photoshop or lightroom have not really added any major new feature justifying ongoing subscription pricing being the only option.

The Reddit model allows paid foreign agents to become volunteer community (subreddit) moderators and then use that platform to sow division or push a biased narrative. How much do you think the Chinese government would pay to subtly emphasize or de-emphasize certain stories on a huge community like r/news or r/politics?
this sounds so cool! i wish you the best luck with it.
>>So, what is the point in doing this if not to target law abiding citizens.

It's the old rule known to governments all over the world - there is no such thing as an innocent citizen, there is only a citizen who you haven't investigated enough. Call me cynical but storing ALL of your digital data allows the agencies to basically find something, anything, that will allow them to further blackmail you into complying. Even the most innocent person will have something that can be misconstrued as criminal, from jokes about tax evasion to pictures of your toddler in a pool - threaten going to trial if the person doesn't do X, and most people will comply, not because they aren't innocent, but because the might of the American justice system is such that you really don't want to fuck with it on the receiving end.

Same here. I not only don't condemn people for using Facebook, I almost always defend their use of Facebook. But since I mean what I say when I'm talking about the site, I haven't had an account in at least a decade and I block the domains. I dislike the site, not its users.
