A series of voice descriptions with animations.

There are many terms and acronyms. I am familiar with the user side of the system. Without this background I would have a hard time following the narrative. Even so
I find the descriptions unclear. I don't know of a good overview of the airspace system that does not also explain the rules of operation. I think those become too detailed for casual knowledge.

You mean that document saying something like: "we can do what we want, no recourse possible"?

That should be forbidden too.

firefox has a real good chance to make it back once again. all the chrome derivates wont be able to manage a fork on their own so they should jump ship and build on firefox. I have read about how firefox is PITA to build but we have stuff like waterfox that are a homebrew type setup so if they can do it, surely opera or brave with their VC funding and ad dollars can surely change the look and feel of firefox for their use.
I also feel bad because the management of firefox has long since sold out to google so they WILL find a way to fuck this opportunity up. I am certain of it.
What if you make me sign some sort of NDA/ToS?

By now, I figured we'd have a lot more visual media being 100% CGI. That would have allowed small creators to ride the collapsing cost of hardware.

You're probably pushing more triangles in ten seconds of a modern video game at 4K than in the entire run of Babylon 5's groundbreaking CGI usage. So we've definitely got the resources available to deliver broadcast-quality CGI video to the masses, and the right tooling could make it accessible.

I could imagine franchises that started with modest visuals, and if they can find bigger backers (more subscribers, advertisers, merchandising, whatever), they can level up with more resources behind them.

I also imagined that studios and directors would love the idea of CGI actors-- you could do things that are still infeasible with practical effects, you can pull them back out 10 years later and they haven't aged, and you don't need to worry that they'll suddenly go on a binge that effects their ability to film.
Agreed. Continually upholding the stance of owner/renter and master/serf is such an obnoxious and persistent view that so many of my coworkers have, just stop! We're here to work, not do political ideology stuff! Always pretending like it's not a big deal does NOT help! Private property existing or not is a political opinion, and I'm glad we can agree that assuming a stance on it does not belong at work.
That is probably a licensing requirement for the providers of the music. They likely require some form of DRM in their agreement with Spotify.

If anyone could make an App, how would Spotify be able to properly track song plays and whatever else they need in order to pay the rights holders?

Plus, someone would end up creating a 3rd party client that silently plays some song, unbeknownst to the user, in order to rack up plays and earn more money.
Why should you get to use their servers and resources if they don't want you to be using them without displaying ads?
The TRS-80 Model 12 and 16 had 8" Tandon thinline drives that did some sick bass drops, especially on power-on/system boot. If anyone makes an emulator that replicates those golden sounds, they will have my utmost respect.

The TRS-80 Model II, from which those machines were derived, had a single thicc Shugart drive that was even noisier. The solenoid that engaged the heads made a loud "thunk" when activated (and changed the size of the screen, its magnet was so powerful!).
Maybe, but I think range and cargo capacity are important to Alaskans that rely on bush planes. VTOLs, particularly electric ones, can't compete in these regards.
To be clear, I'm not saying that there should be no consequences if you distribute a message that I didn't want you to. I'm just saying that I shouldn't be able to stop you from doing so. If you signed a contract saying you wouldn't, and then you do, I should still be able to sue for that, but the existence of such a contract shouldn't let me control your technology to prevent you from breaking it in the first place.
Fully open wifi that didn't require posting to an http or https endpoint was never common in the first place.

Consumer routers are now shipped pre-configured with a password on the network so random joe who bought his router at best buy or got it from his ISP doesn't accidentally provide free wifi to his 20 closest neighbors.

Meanwhile out of the box every single xfinity provided modem/router combo provides by default an open network with no password that allows any other xfinity subscriber to access the internet via your device. They have 18 million such hotspots throughout the US. Give the expected usage of a few MB per year this would seem to be an easy ask and easily sold the end user as a feature not a cost.

Likewise nearly every major business that serves customers food refreshments or produces to buy on site provides wifi that requires only that you push a simple response to open it up. This can be and in fact is already automated on your phone for example.

Instead of referring to open wifi I would redirect the discussion to negotiable connections and they are everywhere.
This is what I was trying to convey.
That’s incorrect. They are obligated by law to retain it for 6-7 years for KYC purposes.
I'm pretty sure there's a line there about reverse engineering
But Chinese HSR stations are mostly located far away from city centers, so you are still stuck taking a taxi in heavy traffic to and from the station unless it is somehow connected well by public transportation.

It’s a wash to say Beijing to Changsha is better by HSR than plane, given where the HSR stations are (Beijing South was much farther from our apartment than BJS, and Changsha’s HSR station is as far out as its airport). But my wife’s hometown is one HSR station south of Changsha (on the BJ to GZ line) and wasn’t served by an airport, so an 8 hour HSR trip made sense. But now that they have an airport, I’m sure I would just prefer to fly.

That's not what I am asking. GP said that this third-party app is violating user privacy, and I am asking for evidence of that. As of now, there's nothing to suggest that the app is doing more than we're led to believe they are. CA went beyond what they claimed they were doing.

That said, while I don't disagree with the point you're making, I disagree with the approach. There's a difference between recognizing that the market is interested in the approach the third-party app is taking and working with them to figure out how to move forward together, and nuking from orbit the unconnected personal accounts of everyone tied to the app on LinkedIn.
Impressively wrong in every single aspect
I haven't tried setting up PiHole yet. Does it "break" any of the interwebz for me in the way client-side ad blockers sometimes can? Any pitfalls I need to be aware of?
Or get a decent /etc/hosts file .
I have a huge bias towards functional programming, one core tenet of which is immutability. When I was going through the official svelte tutorial I read this[1] paragraph:

> Note that interacting with these <input> elements will mutate the array. If you prefer to work with immutable data, you should avoid these bindings and use event handlers instead.

Which left me with the impression that svelte's functional story wouldn't be that great. Though I did still finish the tutorial.

As my first project I tried to migrate one of our static websites to svelte with sveltekit. It didn't really feel like I was doing something different than when I was using Vue3/Nuxt3, so I might as well stick with it. I understand that the technical tradeoffs are different, svelte is compiled and has no runtime after all, but the developer experience pretty much feels the same.

[1] https://svelte.dev/tutorial/each-block-bindings
A fair few routers also allow a rule similar to “if traffic is on port 53 traffic and not from PiHole, send to PiHole.”
If you want to be able to reverse engineer everything on your phone, then I would say that Android and iOS are not for you.
I have a lg webos smarttv and haven’t noticed any ads. I also have a pihole.
No. My point is if you do that, only you should get in trouble, not the company that made the lockpicks you used.

You won't own the car, you'll just request it via an app (like a self driving taxi) and then you also won't have any ability to root it.
There are projects which have managed to do so, like KDE's QT, which was closed source but negotiated an escrow license with the community to release the code as BSD if the owner company ever stopped development.

Is the Facebook Messenger app a proxy? Is the Instagram client a proxy? Is the mail app on my phone a proxy? I'm trying to grasp what definition of "proxy" you're using here, because every usage of the word "proxy" I've ever see relating to internet services is: "a program which redirects network traffic to another destination". The subject is explored in detail at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server . Yet again, I'm seeking to see any shred of evidence that even _suggests_ that the application has acted as a "proxy" or sent more user data to the app developer than absolutely necessary to function.
Is Meta obligated to work with anyone who wants to? Are they required to dedicate resources to every company that approaches them wanting to partner?
So I should be able to steal from my neighbor because that's true freedom? Because you're using their resources and servers in a way they didn't authorize.
TBH i don't think that only 1 people is holding this up. Google has deep pockets.
> What's your suggestion? What should we build right now? We can't just not build power plants because someone might invent a better technology in the future.

Wind and solar (then when variability limits from existing hydro and nuclear are reached, add H2, ammonia, and battery storage). It comes online in years instead of decades and doesn't wind up with 20% offline due to unexpected downtime when it's needed most like france.

It is already possible to build a mix with at least x watts 24/7/365 for lower price than nuclear (which has 60-90% availabity) and price goes down as you build more instead of up. The R&D required to reach these efficiencies has been possible for decades, but we chose to spend those billions elsewhere.
No, it is fully customizable and managed by a dashboard.
If you don't like Meta's terms, don't use Meta products and services. It's that simple.

There's no indentured servitude because you're not giving Meta free work. In this case, people don't want to pay for Meta services by viewing ads. If you don't want to pay, don't use the service.
I’ve done projects with enlive and quite enjoyed it. Allows a workflow where designers create pure HTML/CSS templates and you just fill in the blanks using selectors and transformations written in Clojure.

>> There are many drugs that can do a lot of damage at doses far lower than those that kill someone.

> This is a bandwagon argument. You're implicitly arguing fallaciously that because there are "many drugs" that can produce significant damage at doses much lower than a lethal dose, then this is also true of dextromethorphan.

This is more like Pascal's wager - better don't mess with what you can't understand or see. Personality, memories, beliefs, goals, fears.

Anecdotally I lost a portion of my memory and cognitive skills after a kind of flu. Instead of support, I've been met mostly with claims that I'm making it up or I am acting like a hypochondriac. All while I struggled to re-learn how to use my daily driver Linux system and where important things are.

SD absolutely demolishes DALL-E on this one. SD produces really nice-looking output, with a high degree of consistency. DALL-E produces incoherent nonsense.
It's terrifying to see the glee in the eyes of our leaders as they take us up to the gates of hell.
The companies that made the lockpicks have the argument that they're only to be used by professional locksmiths in the process of opening a lock that the owner has authorized them to, which is legal. Selling a tool that only has illegal uses would quickly lead to trouble.

The third party clients can only be used in a way that violates the ToS.
Great, thanks for the thorough reply. Hope to test this out soon and see if we can't speed up our pipelines. Congrats on the launch.

Do you think Procreate is next on Adobe”s acquisition list after Figma?
Yeah, you are talking about a death penalty for corporations (corp-death). It’s been suggested before. Thing is that probably the main reason corporations were invented is to limit liability, thus enabling them to do amazing industrial and technical feats. Making a covid vaccine for example. At the same time, it also gives you Big Tobacco. Changing this faustian bargain will have quite large effects. Corporate access to capital will become more expensive. Executives will become less bold. Corporations will become even more bureaucratic. Employees will spend a lot of time shifting responsibility around. It could be net negative. I don’t know what the solution is.
This is also why wasm in the browser is not specially "safe". It's the same jit optimization and execution as the JavaScript pipeline. Therefore vulns in that are sometimes useable in wasm.
Speed is a tradeoff. And is why if you have a system that uses v8's or others wasm runtimes, it must be able to update.
Fun fact: Fastmail supports Russia.

When Russia was sanctioned for all the atrocities and Visa/MC became unavailable for them, Fastmail decided to keep providing them services for free.

So now if you out of Russia you must pay, but it’s free if if you in a country where 80% of population cheer war crimes.
> Additionally, some apps are only monetized through advertisement, and 3rd party apps don't display them. How do you expect the 1st party to stay in business?

I live pretty close to a US Navy base, and its common for me to hear and see formations of military helicopters like Ospreys, sometimes fighter jets, cargo planes, etc.

I swear that I hear them more often than I used to say 4 years ago (before COVID). It is kind of scary to think about these kinds of scenarios, like if something bad happens what the hell will I do if I happen to survive?

All I have are my parents who live far away, no kids or wife, not a lot of close friends here. I'm also moving pretty soon to near SF, which I hope isn't a target in such a war. I guess it is good that I've been working out. If I survive, I plan on staying alive as long as I can on my own. Damn I don't want to think about this because I don't want to die like that.

Maybe all my time sunk into playing solo DayZ back in the day and surviving against Russians, Chinese, and other players who I didn't understand working together will help, heh. FFS.
Nope, they sure aren't! Just as they're not obligated to nuke all of the personal accounts for everyone who works for the third-party app.

Not being obligated to do something doesn't mean that one is excluded from looking like an asshole if they don't do that thing.
They aren't making the api private, they are making it tricky.

They have no intention (that I know of) of banning new browser technology. They don't say you must use Firefox/Chrome. Which means I can make my own browser and render it however I like.

If the data was meant to be secret, it would be encrypted. At the moment, if I do

> curl -L instagram.com

I get a mix of HTML, JS and CSS. In plain old text.

What am I allowed to do with this data?

Do I have to render it according to what WHATWG says? Obviously not.

If they were trying to limit access to their data, they would, like cable companies do, provide a secret to me so that I could decrypt the response.

Why don't they do that?

Because they want the data *public*.

They could make instagram available only via its own app with its own transport layer.

If they did that you would be violating anti-circumvention in the DMCA by reversing and publishing the protocol.

They want the data open and available to everyone to lower the barrier to entry to make more money. The tradeoff is that they don't control how that data gets presented.

Entirely their choice.
1. legacy ip allocations are a huge mess, largely due to growth - mirroring that haphazard, patchwork allocation model for ipv6 would be obscenely inefficient & make the v6 dfz table as bad as the legacy ip counterpart

2. as much as 41% of the world already has ipv6 - why should they not continue what they’re doing?

3. “Not only is v4 still around, but the phrase "IP address" is generally understood to mean v4.” no, that’s really not a thing.

4. “Say a device's IPv4 address is 71.177.17.171 (seriously I used to have this one). Maybe I also get v6 address 2345:0425:2CA1:::0567:5673:23b5.” …what? how did you get from point a to point b? i would have expected something containing 47 b1 11 ab but…what?

5. “Even making it a longer octal like 71.177.17.171.77.111.11.11 would've been easier for most people.” that’s…not octal. an octal representation of that ip would be 107 261 21 253 which is…not really an improvement, i don’t think?

6. “When I mentioned this to some network expert colleagues over lunch (I'm no expert), they each said, the human-unfriendly v6 addresses are a feature to encourage use of DNS within an enterprise system.” the idea of hexadecimal addresses is intended to be more user-friendly than a long string of unnecessarily verbose octets like 251.82.40.105.0.49.61.129.87.46.0.0.31.96.255 . should you be using dns? sure - but you also should be using it for legacy ip. can you memorize legacy ip addresses? yes. can many ppl also memorize ipv6 addresses? also yes. should either of those things be standard practice? no - there are better uses for brain cells.

7. “The common enterprise workaround is predictable.” no, it’s not. nat46 is rarely used. nat64 is much, much more common. (the common enterprise “workaround” is “stonewall on ipv6 as long as possible.”)

8. “Humans should even represent such padded v6 address in the v4 octal notation;” oh. there’s the problem: legacy ip addresses aren’t octal, they’re decimal. have you genuinely never seen a legacy ip address containing an 8 or 9? wait. do you know what octal is? (also, there’s an octet missing from my example two points above. did you notice?)

9. “Slow adoption has usually been blamed on old systems, but I'm getting tired of that explanation.” i’m getting tired of harebrained THIS IS HOW WE SHOULD OF DONE IPV6 theories that are 20+ years too late, but here we are.

I'm not directly involved in building and construction but I have friends that are.

I think that shortage of labor and supply chain issues are the biggest reasons. The demand has increased by larger scale than the number of people able to do the job.
I wonder how many who think Meta are in the right here are themselves using things like adblockers, other browser extensions that modify page content to their liking, even Reader Mode, or basically anything other than a "I'll bend over and take it" attitude towards everything they use, because you're a hypocrite if you do.
You're saying that even if I do run into any issues, I'll be able to tweak and resolve myself?
That sounds like PG&E pricing, not SVP pricing.

Anybody on PG&E should have solar panels. Hang them off your balcony if you have to. The electricity rates are astronomical.

It's not stealing if they gave you the data.
I think Meta is in the right, and I use an adblocker on my browser. If they stopped serving me content because I'm using an adblocker, I would have to accept it or disable my adblocker on their website.

There's nothing hypocritical about this position. They allow me to use their content in this way so I will, if they didn't, I wouldn't. Working against their explicit wishes (circumventing anti-adblock) is what's wrong.

I'm unable to block their ads on my phone app, so I use it less, but when I use it, I have to see ads.
Well, Self. Expression. I guess.
