How does a project like this even happen?

So the Chilean observatory needs a new telescope, and somehow it's built in California? And how do they find these people to build these telescopes? Is there some kind of hidden niche of experts that go from Zeiss to Canon and then do government work like this? How will this thing be delivered to Chile? How will they hoist it up into the observatory. Even the slightest accident would be devastating.

All correct except the word "virality". There is no such thing. People can use [A][L]GPL software according to the license or not use it.

Software licenses, and any other work under copyright law, cannot "infect" other works. It's not Covid.

Maybe Emacs has to link with a particular library in order to have that API?

So the part I don't understand is why the GPL exception wouldn't apply, if it is a system library that is going to be there on any Apple box.

Emacs integrates a lot of various Mac-specific API's.

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/src/nsfns.m

... and other "ns" files.

These would fall under that GPL exception. It's the same like, say, GTK+ having to use a Win32 API to be able to do its job of opening a window and painting into it.

I see that Emacs' w32fns.c source file uses ShellExecuteEx. Why not insist that CMD.EXE has to be spawned to run stuff.

That is a conclusion that doctors should certainly express if it is a well-informed and well-considered one. Which is what our neuro-ongologist did at the right time.

But we had one doctor give us the "time to let go" speech because he had confused a "grade 4" astrocytoma with a generic "stage 4" cancer. He wasn't my mom's oncologist. He wasn't an ongologist at all. He was an arrogant idiot.

And then there were the doctors, also not oncologists and who had not spoken with my mom about her preferences, who did not see the point in properly treating secondary symptoms in somebody who was trying for the extra months her oncologist thought was possible. Those doctors can also go fuck themselves.

It is those doctors that I am thinking of when I talk about under-treatment.
Based on my understanding of you’ve said, you are down bad on holdings (on paper) as I’m sure most all of us are but are you in need of liquidity (cash)? If not then it really doesn’t matter. Try to focus on what you need to survive/live and let markets do what markets do.

Eventually markets will stabilize/return to previous levels at least historically speaking.

If you are in need of liquidity you could look to sell your current (even your future, yet to be vested holdings) but I’d recommend sitting on your hands unless you are an active investor or in dire need of liquidity.

I've had good luck with the ThinkPad fans from eBay.

A few tips to anyone doing the replacement:

* Find the PDF of the ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Manual (HMM) for your model. This will give valuable step-by-step instructions for disassembling the parts that you need to, and not the parts you don't.

* Just buy the fan part, not the whole heatsink+fan assembly, even if the HMM tells you that the FRU is the assembly.

* Keep track of the screws as you take them out. I like to use a sheet of paper with loops of tape, and label as I remove (see photo on "https://www.neilvandyke.org/coreboot/").

* Have some thermal compound handy, as well as a way to clean the old compound. Since either you'll end up separating the heatsink from the CPU (and possibly other chipset packages), or you might as well replace compound while you have it open.

* You might need new tape to attach the fan part to the grill.

Counter-point. The company I work for has about 50/50 Macbooks vs Lenovo. We have about 1000 staff, and I've seen similar rates in a company with 5000 staff.

Macbooks

* 20% need replacing in 3 years

Lenovo:

* 20% fail in first 12 months. (Surprisingly high number fail out of the box)

* 80% need replacing within 3 years

1) we're likely in a declining/sideways market for at least another year until inflation subsides

Gonna be a lot longer than that, at least as far as inflation goes. Q3 2022 is the median date for retirement of the largest generation, the Boomers. When they retire they take their capital with them. Expect the cost of capital triple for at least the next decade.

Having been an Enterprise SE in the past, I love any data about sales and the process.

Do you have data that shows whether 'letting the customer talk' produces more wins? Or faster wins? The consensus seems to be 'customer talking' is better, probably because that shows the customer is more engaged.

This and support calls should be inputs into product, but I'd guess both inputs are ignored.

The cost of care at end of life is unsustainable in its current form. The graphs of average cost per patient as a function of age are all shaped like hockey sticks. As a civilization, we cannot afford to spend like this. It will catch up to us, and then everyone will suffer.
This is a fair point. Primarily the reason that children can dominate a website is that they have so much more time to participate (and probably are more likely to contribute in a low-effort way), so putting the mark at 16 or 17 would still significantly reduce the issue. I think having places that are certified <12 would be great for kids and could be over-moderated without great consequence. A spectrum of age gates would make a very cool internet, and I'd extend that as far up as ages go (35-55? Centenarians only? Why not?).
YC’s position clearly differs from mine. As I have already stated in the thread, there’s a YC competitor that charges $1000s to join, has 2500+ alumni over 2 years, market cap of those companies is already over 9 billion, those companies have raised over billion from top VC firm, etc. So, at least to me, it’s obvious there models that work that don’t include YC giving $500k per startup.

I also agree, if it’s important to me, I should do something more. That said, this is one of 100s of topics I have strong opinions on and actively spend some time on currently.
You only have to send your changes to anyone to whom you distribute the modified program.

If that’s upstream, then you have to offer them upstream. If that’s to someone else who then decides to share them upstream, that’s also something you can’t prevent.

If you don’t distribute the program, you don’t have to send your changes anywhere.

IMO the current way of pooling things together is one way of spreading the loss (due to returns or A-to-z claims) across the entire pool. Other members of the pool bear the cost of such maleficence. Amazon's motto probably: Screw all sellers f**k if I care.
Google provides two alternatives for age verification, a credit card payment and sending an electronic copy of a valid government issued ID.

This explanation seems to be quite terse, "If you use a credit card, any temporary authorization will be fully refunded. If you use an ID, Google will delete the image after verifying your age."

Both methods would require me to provide them (or some other entity) new personal data. In the case of credit card payment, credit card number (and thus what bank I am using, maybe also what kind of card I have) and my home address.

My government issued ID has also other information like a photo of me, my signature, social security number, all my given names and card number. I wonder if they would accept an electronic copy that would have all those covered.
> . I suspect Amazon would prefer not to have fake drives and the costs associated with returns

I am not so sure about that. I think it’s a calculated risk, how many people will actually put in the time and effort to return the product and how many will just not care enough to go through the return process and just eat the cost.
Never got it. Got all the boosters and vaccinations. I wear a mask when I'm around others in any amount. I limit my exposure to others. When I get home and take off my mask I wash my hands before I do anything else. The moment you let up and breathe other people's air is when you expose yourself to risk.

It's simple, if you don't expose yourself then you won't get it.

Never getting sick in the past or "having a strong immune system" isn't relevant. Having a strong immune system and never getting any of the vaccinations just means that you're at a higher risk for your body attacking itself when you do get it, you'll get serotonin syndrome and related things real hard, you'll autoimmune like crazy.

All these articles act like it's some sort of mystery how humans get this virus. Like it's some sort of oopsie doodle. If people are honest about their contact tracing and what they did up until they came down with it then I'm pretty sure you will find along that timeline a moment where they were just simply exposed to someone else who had the virus and the virus was in the air and they breathed it.

A trend I've been seeing is people keeping popular but within-the-guidelines content on Youtube for discovery and monetization, then putting the outside-the-guidelines on their own sites. The heavy bandwidth stays on Youtube and the fringe groups can handle the semi-overloaded handful of VPS CDN-Less nodes. One can scale up/down caching/streaming nodes via most VPS provider API's and Cloud-init/Ansible.

Anything with monetization will have to be within the guidelines of the provider or the advertisers will make the platform provider cancel the content regardless of platform.
AFAIK, the question of why our lifespan is so different from other mammals is still open. And one quite possible answer is still that our aging happens by a slightly different mechanism.

Yep, that's another thing I was thinking of: if Alice uses the same token all the time for every endpoint, then the endpoints could trivially use that as a unique identifier to track Alice. Perhaps the government could create a service for Alice to create new age tokens whenever she wants.

Even then, if the government actively compelling endpoints to hand over their data is within the threat model, the government could inspect any cached temporary tokens to deanonymize the users. This could perhaps be mitigated with some way for users to irreversibly transform the temporary tokens given by the government, but I'm not sure if that's possible while retaining the ability for endpoints to verify the tokens.

Overall, though, the sharing problem seems to me to be the biggest issue by far with this scheme. What makes a user an individual human? In current implementations, their unique government ID (perhaps made illegal to falsify) is used for this. But I can't see how individual humans can be distinguished in a privacy-preserving way.

Not the down voter, but if you look through guidance from the malpractice insurance industry (e.g., https://www.thedoctors.com/articles/medical-and-dental-recor...) you will see that defense against potential malpractice claims is a key driver of retention practices. Introducing a right to be forgotten in healthcare would presumably require concomitant reform of the medical malpractice landscape.

I'm not arguing against the sentiment (and indeed I think patients should have a much stronger ability to audit and control how their records are shared, including the ability to opt out of sharing) -- but when it comes to records retention by the originating organization, it's important to evaluate these practices in the broader context.
> other camp, that doctors tend to be too slow to reach for palliative care options

I don't see a need for camps here. Both can be true! Some people can get over-treated. Some people can get under-treated. These are both problems that we should fix.

> I can't imagine having to help other people make this choice

These are inevitably personal decisions. There are few wrong choices, and often few good ones. In my limited experience, the doctors who specialize in these sorts of thing are pretty good at helping with that choice. They explain the options, say what they can about the odds, and then let the patients and their families decide.

Which is why it's crucial that families talk about these questions before it matters. We need to understand our loved ones' preferences and views, and they need to understand ours. Because once it comes to it, at best it will be a very fraught and difficult time. And at worst, the patient may not be in any state to answer the questions.
"A considerable group of numerical analysts still believes in the folk “theorem” that fast MM is always numerical unstable, but in actual tests loss of accuracy in fast MM algorithms was limited, and formal proofs of quite reasonable numerical stability of all known fast MM algorithms is available (see [23], [90], [91], [62], and [61])." https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.04102
I upgraded the WiFi cards in my X200 units by installing Coreboot, which has no PCIe allowlist. https://www.neilvandyke.org/coreboot/ I don't know the state of Coreboot support for X220, and the entire process can be a headache, but it might be an option.

I understand some people instead use modified stock Lenovo BIOS to defeat the PCIe allowlist.

The Right Way to do this is to develop a standard for web pages to identify themselves as not suitable for children, and then build clients with a setting that locks out those pages (which could be disabled only with a passcode or some such security measure). Then it becomes the responsibility of parents to insure that the lockout is enabled no the devices their children have access to.
This is probably my biggest pain point with my X220. 1366x768 isn't enough!
Please explain how it would be "easy" to save 40% of those costs. The chips are doing things that are legally required or that customers demand, like controlling the ABS or streaming Bluetooth audio. Sure it's theoretically possible to build a cheap car with minimal electronics but it wouldn't be legal to sell, and few customers would even want it. (Yes I am aware there are some people who want a simple car. They aren't a large enough market segment for any manufacturer to care about.)

Technical aspects aside, K&R has what some modern books seem to lack: a really clear and comprehensive layout. I've picked up a few modern books and immediately noticed how they make use of thinner (thinner != smaller) fonts that make then hard to distinguish.
At first I thought it was my fault for being old and wearing glasses, but as soon as I opened back some other old books like the K&R, the Niklaus Wirth (Algorithms+Data Structures = programs) and a couple other ones, I could read again without effort at the same distance wearing the same pair of glasses. Why do they use fonts that thin today?
If you're referring to endpoint hardware computing devices using some microcontroller similar to the esp32, you should definitely learn C. From there you can tack on a low level scripting language like lua or ulisp to compliment the low level stuff that you'll be writing. This will give you the best performance and understanding of the low level hardware, not to mention it's what the majority of libraries and tutorials on the subject will be written in.

If you're referring to something else, like a hub, you may want to list out your requirements and familiarity. C is still a good choice, but Go/Python/NodeJs what have you have all been used successfully for similar adventures.

The public transport outage is an opportunity for propaganda for the AfD and plays into their hands more than additional people coming to Berlin: they can exaggerate the numbers of their supporters and claim both victim-hood and relevancy. Many of their followers are in echo-chambers of group identity, inflated self-worth and conspiracy theories: stories of the government damaging civilian infrastructure in some black ops to harm their group plays right into their believes and gives them a feeling of being relevant. Their media channels are probably buzzing with such claims. just saying
