>Why can't everybody legally share and spread knowledge as they please?

This is my whole problem with the idea of copyright, patents, and Imaginary Property laws.

We finally invent ways to share information for basically free planet wide, and a bunch of fuckin lawyers fuck it all up for the exclusive benefit to themselves and the oligarchs who can afford them.

When I was 17 I wrote a TI-85 program for the chemistry class I was in, and sold a copy to a classmate. I only charged $1 because it would have felt awful to chart $50 for something I still had after I "sold" it.

Some laws should be broken because they were created by corrupt governments at the behest of oligarchs.

No it could not unless it impacted at exactly the wrong place. Downing planes with missiles is hard: much of a plane can survive having a hole in it, while there are a few critical sections.

Go isn't a competitor to C or C++. I don't know where that idea even comes from. Go is competing with Java and web languages.

Rust is the only real competitor, but given the sheer amount of existing C and C++ code, the idea that they will become legacy languages any time soon is pretty out to lunch.

Exactly this, thanks for highlighting this here! I find it astoundingly upsetting that the people who run this pirated library ask for donations at the bottom of the linked page (of course in Bitcoin), citing they can only keep the library online if they’re getting paid for it… what arrogance!

Like they cannot see that they’re inserting themselves in between the readers and the authors, whom they effectively try to steal the money from. Authors of course can also only continue to write books if they’re getting paid for it. It’s truly parasitic behavior.

I’m sorry this happened to you and I share your pain. :(

They’re limited to a certain number of loans before the library has to buy another license, or a per-checkout fee. Physical books have about a 50 to 100 checkout lifetime and ebook licensing is similar.
I used Garmin Fenix 5 for sleep tracking and it has similar issues. In fact, if I sleep during the day, it doesn’t recognise it as a sleep! I checked the garmin support forums and some other users reported the same thing but garmin didn’t care to fix.

Switching from electric heaters to heat pumps is very easy for the grid, but not at all easy in existing homes. Central heating needs water pipes, which traditional electric heating doesn't have. Adding the pipes is going to be a major hassle.

I'm not sure if there is a major difference in insulation. Old houses are in Germany are not great, new houses usually are, and it's probably the same in France.

Mixed feelings about this. I want to have access to millions of books and I also support archiving information this way. 20 years ago I would be drooling over this. But now, I think about those writers who spent countless hours creating their masterpieces and their stolen work.

I've seen this exact problem with home health assistants. If you have a Medicaid waiver and qualify for a home assistant, Virginia will pay $16/hr for a full-time assistant in a high COL area. The bottleneck is of course finding someone willing to accept unlivably low wages (edit: which you cannot supplement) for a very hands-on, dead-end job that entails significant liability.

I'll take your word for it on investment date. But Apple used the ARM as early as 1992 (for the Newton). And so, pipeline wise, on their radar much earlier than that. So years before the 68k->PowerPC transition, and while they were still considering 88k.

It is somewhat fun to imagine an alternate world where Apple jumped to ARM instead of PowerPC, but they had other goals at the time. (Likely the whole 68k emulation story would have been very tricky with ARM at the time, tho)
Like several other commenters I find Fastmail to be a good email host. They support custom domains, have support for email aliasing, is easy to set up and provide a very good web UI. Unlike gmail you are actually able to select all emails in an inbox and apply actions to them.

They also have support people if you ever get problems, and unlike gmail they actually care about customers. Their first line of support are not super technical though.

I’ve had no problems using them so far. Email deliverability seems great and their service has not had any serious downtime the years I’ve used them.
This is a great link. Really liked the section

> Now, the aforementioned, Arthur Norman, who had written the LISP interpreter for the BBC Micro, and was in and out of Acorn the whole time, had come up with a design for a machine with 3 instructions called the SKI machine. Whose instructions were called 'S', 'K' and 'I' and it ran LISP in hardware and he built one of these things, it never worked, it was so big and covered in wire-wrap it was always broken. The idea was to prove that you really didn't need very many instructions for a general purpose machine.
show proof not some story then it gets a chance to be taken seriously
Two books which I read this year that have helped me become a better writer are,

Charles Bukowski On Writing

Kurt Vonnegut Letters

These books aren’t so much about how to write better but more so a look into the minds of two good authors. Helped me get over some of the hurdles of writing. Probably not very useful if you’re looking to be an improved work document writer but for creative writing they were great.

Ever-dropping prices for solar panels are slowly making it economically feasible where it used to be a bad idea.

According to https://uk.renogy.com/blog/what-is-the-average-payback-perio... the payback time is now around 12-18 years, which is worse than here in Germany (I did a calculation for a small 600W installation in my area, and it came back with 8 years), but still better than the expected life time (20-25 years). This data is from 2021, maybe rising energy prices will lower the amortization time.

In general, smaller installations have lower amortization times, because the higher percentage of power produced that you consume yourself (and you pay more for a kWh than you get for selling one).
It sounded good: if they trade with us they can't go to war with us without loosing their economy. The EU was build on this idea.
And with trade there also follows prosperity and then people will demand democracy.

What Many Progressives Misunderstand About Fighting Climate Change
Ditch the built-in sleep tracking and use Autosleep.
I generally agree with this particular point, but not with the overall sentiment. Which is that this is the author's problem and he should just suck it up.

It's not. It's a problem for all of us. High quality books are an asset for society, and we all should be interested in finding a solution. Not necessarily by enforcing unenforceable rules from previous centuries. But we need something else that works.

A society in which only those with too much time on their hands write books is an intellectually poor one. We need authors who spend full time on producing high quality books, be it on non-fictional educational topic or on fictional entertainment. No worlds-best-expert is going to sit down and spend years of their life compiling a well-written book on a subject, just as little as Tom Cruise is going to shoot the next Top Gun for free (and the rest of the production company as well). We need to find a way, otherwise education will be stuck with outdated material and 5min ad-ridden clips on youtube by non-experts. (No offense, there are lots of experts on youtube, but there is a lot of crap out there too, and a 5 min clip on quantum entanglement just can't compete with a proper book. Whoever disagrees with this has likely watched too many such clips and never consumed a good book.)
Olivetti went terribly wrong in the 90s, but it was no typewriter company in the 80s! It started as a calculator company and even NASA used its stored program calculators, effectively one of the first desktop computers (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programma_101). In the 80s they bought the rights to the Thomson MO6 and the BBC Micro in an attempt to use their brand to enter the home computer market in Italy, but they were already selling both PC compatible computers and custom designs such as the M10 (an improved Tandy 100).

Best case: they're not kept on as 'No men' (contrast, 'yes men' for underlings who are just empty enablers), but transferred to scientifically evaluating and seeking the best treatments.

Worst case: we go back to what things were before the ACA where if you had a preexisting condition you were screwed.
When I worked at a competing SSO provider with device management, we specifically engineered our solution to this same problem to never send down passwords. Squirreling away plaintext passwords to send to remote systems over open Internet (even with mutual TLS) was seen as something that would at the least put egg on our face if someone wrote a blog post about it.

We looked at our internal data, it seemed admins loved to drop admin accounts on systems by default, so dropping plaintext to nearly all systems when they rotated those credentials led to a mechanism for lateral movement with across their network.

That was a good option anyway because there's generally a bajillion ways an administrator account can change passwords that can't all be plugged by the client software. So the end user systems can get their, say, FileVault view of their password out of sync, so you have to cleanly handle the cases when the backend doesn't even know the FileVault password to send.
Fair enough. But your point requires discussing nonetheless.

You seem to suggest that fontsize should adapt to width to fill the space (seemingly to a billboard, as per your example).

If the billboard technique was used on the web, I guess we might not have more than a handful of lines on screen (on a 16:10 or so). That would disable skimming on long texts and even more, barely display a single paragraph (that's a gut guessing).

Plus, and more importantly, the distance to the screen is such that a font too big is not more readable. There's a tradeoff to he found for the fontsize that not only has to take into account the size of the screen but also the distance of the reader from the medium.

Or so I assume.
> Do we just say that the Silent and Boomer generations were a fluke?

Yes we do, because yes, they were a fluke. The question is, can we re-create conditions approximately that good (without bombing the rest of the planet back to the stone age)? I must admit that I don't see a way to do so.

> They also manufactured overwhelming evidence that the Viet Cong attacked a navy ship in the Gulf of Tonkin, and that Saddam Hussein was manufacturing weapons of mass destruction.

Why would you use these examples? These are cases of them being wrong, not manufacturing. Both cases are well-documented. And the Viet Cong did attack, but only once.

> They’ll gladly manufacture evidence that leads to the deaths of more than 100k+ Americans

Why? And what scenario was going through your mind when you typed 100k+? I can only guess a false flag nuclear strike.

> altering or destroying evidence to cover up the death of hundreds is a normal workday.

You work there too? Got sources on the inside? Don’t make them in to some kind of boogie man. You’ll only obfuscate the truth.
Erm, EDF. I'm in favour of nuclear, but EDF/Hinckley Point are how not to do it (I think the only residential consumers they have left have failed to do any sort of shopping around/don't care about the cost - very possibly different for business/vested interests).
> Why shouldn't I? Is it somehow my responsibility to keep the food on your table?

If someone wants to release his book for free he can do it, we have a law that protects those that do not.

> Just because you spent time doing something doesn't give you the right to deny everyone else their right of sharing information.

He doesn't deny anything to anyone, as I said before if someones wants to write books for free he can do it and he can share it with everyone. You deny his right to get paid for his work.
Rather, the linchpin of their argument is "a public explanation given by the CIA carries less weight than no explanation at all".
Additionally there are preparations to temporarily suspend noise/pollution legislation that forbids backup power generators to run for more than 50 hours a year [0]. While the current idea is to only exempt sites (around 300 sites, 250 MW installed capacity) that are already used by SwissGrid for Ancillary Services [1], there is political pressure to temporarily include all sites with installed backup power generators (> 4 GW).

If even a fraction of this installed capacity would run in times of shortages, this should further reduce demand without causing disruption on industrial production or even having to schedule rolling blackouts.

>A disadvantage of the RISC design was that since programs required more instructions,

It's important to understand that, while that was the case back then, today, RISC-V has best 64-bit code density, whereas best 32-bit is still ARM thumb2, with RISC-V being a close 2nd, and actually better with current B and Zc extensions, to be ratified soon.

This is achieved with very little complexity required in the decode, which becomes a net win if there's any ROM or cache in the chip.
> In other words, it's a thing in the sky with fire and smoke coming out one end, traveling way faster than you would expect.

With respect, by the time a patriot missile reaches a target like an airliner at altitude, the motor is long burnt out. No fire and no smoke (until the fuze detonates), just kinetic energy being bled for terminal guidance.
Come now. If you've seen one detonation compromosing a man made structure, nevermind one that is carefully constructed specifically to repeatedly take off under its own power you've seen about all you need to see.
Well you must have not searched very hard if you didn't find studies, because it took me a grand total of 3 minutes: https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Optimal-Line-Length-in...

There are many citations that lead to other studies on the same topic.
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2012/jan/16/greenhou... says "Between 65% and 80% of CO2 released into the air dissolves into the ocean over a period of 20–200 years." So isn't most of the CO2 emitted from so long before China became the world's worst polluter no longer in the atmosphere?
> I don't agree with you about not wanting people to suffer now bit, though. Allowing relentless and cheap consumption of resources got us to this place in the first place.

I'm fine with "a bit" of suffering or inconvenience. Implementing a carbon tax on anything beyond basic needs in rich countries would be an option for that. Pressuring developing countries to not burn coal without offering providing a better alternative wouldn't. That would be equivalent to "a lot of suffering".
Not to be dismissive, but I have. I've tried instructions from my laptops "parent" and "brother" units and the instructions don't work. I've spent an hour or two on this at different times and I know everyone says this, but I usually always figure this type of thing out when I get stuck on it. I've tried Arch wiki, Ive been through some LKML threads, some long RH bug, etc. I can actually see in my NixOS config other attempts I've made previously. I've even tried custom snd.conf, doing things in Windows, etc. A bit crushing at this point, I just grabbed a spare set of BT earbuds that are probably just as fine a solution. (Until I accidentally boot to windows and realize how decent it can sound)
They're going to be p!ssed at degradation issues like this one.

I think people who are into Rust are very motivated, curious people, with some experience.
I would really like a study of that, btw :)
I think that's changing. You're seeing more companies investing more in custom silicon. Like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google all make custom silicon to support their cloud efforts. That's expected to increase over time. Apple has shown that if you don't settle for BOG standard hardware you get better than BOG standard performance.

We have solved that problem for online banking which adheres to all the KYC/AML regulations. There are companies which offer KYC-as-a-Service. So no more hassle to verify someone's identity.
According to my Apple Watch I must be the slowest swimmer in the world. I've just spent 3 weeks on the Adriatic coast, swimming an hour twice a day and I lost count of times my watch reported swimming distance of less than 100m (with an absolute low of 4m).

Luckily for me I use it mainly to see how long I've been swimming and don't care about other data because it is obviously useless.
You wrote "I don't recall government subsidies or loans to them."

I showed you quite a few sources totally into the billions of dollars.

Now you've moved the goalposts - and that's on only one point of the several I mentioned, which themselves are only a subset of "the usual litany."

I no longer find this exchange interesting.
Yes, there might be other variables affecting it too, but a blanket statement of "Piracy doesn't reduce sales" when it's primarily studied in the higher volume form of video game sales which are often pirated immediately after release and thus the effect is not clearly visible is not a good argument either.
Do you provide location data to Google and submit to their stalking?

If Google gets hints from a variety of sources (some hard-to-fake like nearby cell towers) from someone that has been feeding them plausible data for years, they will believe those hints more.

If you don't give them the same hints (such as by not using Android or Google products, running ad blockers, not having a Google account with verified and hard-to-fake location-dependent payment information such as a card from a local bank), then it's somewhat reasonable for them to go by the info the other person is providing.
Well, they learned a painful lesson there.

There wouldn't be much actual savings without massive disruption for providers. Right now Medicare and Medicaid are cheaper per patient largely because they pay below cost for the same services. They are subsidized by private insurance.

A move to Medicare for all at current reimbursement rates would require drastic budget cuts at every healthcare provider in the country. That may be what's necessary to fix the broken system, but it would involve a lot of pain.
Officially it's Google Chrome, but for practical purposes any Chromium-based browser seems to work fine, e.g. Brave, Edge.

What's missing from the cultural explanation is the free universal child care that everyone got and the quotas of equal genders in all professions.

Something no one in the west understands (or will likely believe) was that to be a female primary school teacher required higher grades than to be a female physicist/mathematician/computer scientists.

The reverse was true for men. My mother for example didn't have the grades to go into education but did have the grades to go into electrical engineering/computer science. My father on the other hand only needed a pulse to get into education but had no interest in dealing with other people's snot nosed brats.
