Honest curiosity, has that actually been proven in EU court? The sort of "licensing as a service" that Stadia did doesn't seem that different from the business models of something like Audible, or even iTunes in the DRM era. I totally agree that it's a predatory and anti-consumer model, but I wasn't aware that anywhere in the EU had successfully argued that removing access to something you were essentially "renting" access to was a violation of consumer protection laws.

These sorts of EULA arrangements are essentially the foundation of almost all modern media consumption - if anything Stadia is on better ground than most since it's not just a DRM layer like Steam or iTunes. If Steam disappears, I have a bunch of entirely playable game files on my computer that I can't use. When Stadia shuts down, you have a client for nothing. You're not paying $60 to own a copy of a game, you're paying $60 for an unlimited term license to play the game on Stadia's servers. Legally, it feels odd to claim in court that that should be the same as a purchase of the game in some other method. If Google had turned off Stadia, but transferred everyone's purchases to Steam or EGS, that wouldn't be providing the same service you purchased from Stadia.
Are you sure those emails are directly from those companies? I only get messages sent through Amazon forwarding addresses, which exist precisely for the purpose to not disclose your own email address to third parties.

>That's a massive difference in collision risk.

Is it? It's a big difference in absolute numbers but that doesn't mean it's a meaningful difference in Risk.

If both numbers are quite small relative to the level of concern, the difference can still be irrelevant.

My point is that it takes more than just looking at the number of satilites to understand risk. You need to do the work to show how the collision chance compares to what an acceptable limit might be. Both cases could be very acceptable (or both cases could be unacceptable).
Wow, a hard pass at this point.
W3M web browser, file viewer, etc. get inline images via Kitty terminal protocol
Just learned about this. Kind of cool that other terminals are adopting these protocols, I especially appreciate the idea in the nnn file manager. Much better than sixel graphics, which has wider support but is very limited and dated.
Right—I think there are two chief problems:

1) There is no longer a business model that can support strong local media. It's completely gone, and there doesn't seem to be any replacement or substitute coming from "natural" market action in the current environment.

2) The rage-algorithms and radicalization-rabbit-holes of social media giants have so completely captured everyone's attention that it's not clear anyone would read local reporting, anyway, even if it could somehow get funding. Unless it could serve the rage-algorithms and radicalization-rabbit-holes. Though perhaps at least the most shocking stories would get picked up more widely and be noticed.
WHAT. For what purpose? I mean, I know the real reason is prostitution but what’s the justification they use? This is so insane I don’t even want to believe it’s true.
I think it would help with adaptation.

I tried my friend's Stadia. One time he come over connected his controller to my Chromecast and it worked amazingly. I was sold.

The only reason I didn't buy my own, because I have to pay full price for every game and I was afraid what would happen if they shut down the system. If they would have said something like: If you purchase a game from us you will be able to play it for 5 years if not we pay your money back. They did the same in the end, but loosed out a lot of people like me.
Hi - Sudip from Decibel here. Backing oss companies is most of what we do; so, couple of thoughts fwiw. first, building an oss company is really building two companies and definitely not at the expense of one another. For the community, there has to be a free-forever, well-supported product, period. Without that, there is no community in the long run and hence, no company either. The enterprise business, when that comes, must be focused entirely on delivering value to enterprises and NOT on monetizing individual users. That’s what we strongly believe at Decibel and that’s what we have found mission-driven oss founders believe too. But, this certainly requires more patience and capital; hence, the need for complete alignment all around.

I have gotten phishing that pretends to be an AWS support case ticket reply about how my instances in us-east-whatever are about to be terminated due to a host node going out of commission sent to aws-iam-root-user@domain - a domain that has never used or touched AWS and a left hand side mailbox that has never been used once. If it's anything obvious it's probably made it onto some type of dictionary list.
> Ideally there would be a way to "sign" something that says you are a real citizen without revealing which citizen you are, but is durably unique (subsequent signings identify you as the same citizen).

> Why would a compiler use memory access to do math?

Because there are efficient instructions for it. Have you written an arithmetic code generation pass? It's normal to do it like this.

> Math operations are register based, none of the quantities are addresses.

An address is just a number. Yeah they're in registers or can be immediate. So what?

> How can you use memory addressing modes to do math, like 987*765?

Because AMD64 addressing modes have a base, a scale, and an offset component. That's multiplying and adding.

Let me know how you think you can work out if that lea overflowed!

Sure, but what I'm saying is that "lot of gamers" in my experience is the type to flame Stadia without playing or buying it anyway. I highly doubt the overlap of the population of /v/ and Stadia owners was that large, but maybe I'm wrong.
When this happened to my software product I fixed it by purchasing a Comodo EV code signing certificate. It cost me $502, it was FedExed to me in a USB, and I signed my program. Tens of thousands of installs later, I have never had an issue with smart screen. Note that there are two types of code signing certs, you want the EV Code Signing Certificate. It will instantly give your program reputation that ends the smartscreen filter issue.

Is it a corrupt system? Pay to play? Sure. But this is a guaranteed way to solve the problem. And way cheaper and 1000x faster and less of a headache than contacting an attorney (which a surprising number of people here are recommending!)

Whenever I see pictures of the aftermath of such events it seems that the damage is mostly to private houses and boats. Commercial properties, shopping malls, and apartment blocks seem much less affected. If this impression truly reflects what happens then surely what is needed is simply stricter and more appropriate building regulations.

So, does my impression accord at all with reality? Are apartment blocks, corporate and government buildings really more robust and better sited or is this just a misleading impression caused by the images that are easily available?
I sustain and refute your claim that I've not written complex apps. They just don't have to be complicated, which is what most ORMs bring, and has been my experience. Complex don't mean complicated.

The problem with this approach is that it’s impossible to get a safe binary that isn’t downloaded from “libfree.cxcc.gg” or whatever. The other option being to build from source, which is an absolute nightmare for Chromium.

Ask HN: Am I the only one who does not want IoT in their solar panel setup?
All solar panel systems I can find seem to require an internet connection. The (seemingly) best option I have found so far is a system with an inverter that only requires an internet connection during the initial installation, which uses a wifi dongle so I can probably unplug that afterwards. Even then, the manufacturer states that not having it connected to the internet voids their warranty, and I'm afraid the software might even have some kind of countdown where the system will stop working when it hasn't been connected to the internet after a certain amount of time.

I am not interested at all in connecting something that should help me get off the grid to the internet. Combine that with security issues[0] and I'm starting to think we're collectively folding our arms behind our back and intentionally falling forwards.

Maybe I'm too paranoid. Thoughts?

Said another way, the fitness criteria for survival has shifted. A reversal implies there’s a single linear direction for evolution when we know there definitely isn’t. That’s why there’s a mix of heights, body builds, intelligences, soft skills like charisma, skin colors, etc etc. In fact, ops claim that we could somehow stop evolutionary pressure is itself bonkers. At that point the evolutionary pressure might become for the traits that enable you to maintain some definition of stasis. Above all else, human culture is never static so there’s always a bias for internal evolutionary pressure even if we manage to control external factors (which even then we’re not able to beyond some point).

Just to be pedantic you can use SQL to query NoSQL databases, just look at the PartiQL ExecuteStatement API for DynamoDB. I assume your question is about why anyone would use a NoSQL databases instead of a relational database. The short answer is scale. If you have well define access patterns that rely only on a primary index, you can effectively scale to billions of QPS. If you want to make relational queries, and/or can’t know your access patterns in advance, use a relational database.

The trouble is all those darn uninitiated and trying to create a generalized oracle to map their inspecific ramblings to what they mean to free them of having to actually communicate properly...

Actually, funnily enough, this has cross section with philosophy in a way most programmers scoff at; but communication is frigging hard, and worse, detecting when someone is trying to get something across, but just needs a nudge in the right direction to be able to find the language to explain it is really damn hard.

I think there's two answers to this question.

For Musk, the answer is pretty clearly that he thinks Twitter is poorly run as a business and has no respect or confidence in their management. He thinks he can change the company to make more money.

For all the VC types he's texting with, Twitter is broken because it bans people, and because (they believe) those bans are biased against conservatives. The ban (actually a suspension) of the Babylon Bee twitter account for a satirical article naming a specific individual transwoman "man of the year" seems to have been a radicalizing moment among the tech oligarchy

This is pure Tesla propaganda. Yes they have built bigger versions of existing technology (supepress, gigafactory), but they're definitely not leading innovation in car production, as evidenced by M3s still having the largest panel gaps in the industry.
