Yes. But how restrictively does Congress word its appropriations to agencies, such as the US Postal Inspection Service? If it appropriates them money "to investigate crimes", that would entitle them to spend that money on investigating any category of crime at all (including those with no clear connection to the postal service.) I haven't read the relevant appropriations and authorizations acts, so I don't know how they are actually worded.

Also, even supposing a criminal investigation was in violation of the appropriations laws (money appropriated to investigate one type of crime being illegally redirected to investigate another type of crime instead), that (as far as I know–IANAL) isn't an issue the accused has standing to raise in court.

A (possibly) real example of this happened under the Clinton and Obama administrations, when Republicans in Congress tried to appropriate money specifically to prosecute adult pornography, and the Justice Department (allegedly) illegally spent a lot of it on child pornography prosecutions instead. But even supposing the allegation is true, it was of no legal benefit to the accused.
End the intellectual property monopolies, and instead give organizations the right to distribute creative works so long as downloads are tracked through some robust means, and then compensate authors accordingly.

Don’t outlaw libraries just because the internet now exists or legalize them but only with absurdities like fucking wait lists.

"by telling them that they have to start with something like film"

Hehehe I think only film snobs do that. Film is fun but these days for beginners, grab a digital camera because of instant feedback: you'll automatically see the image you've taken. And if you use more sophisticated camera, you can also see the histogram. Useful for analyzing your exposure. Not impossible with film camera.

Once you are comfortable with your exposure, then jump into film.

I've used Hausra since 2018 and it has turned out great:

- 28k stars on GitHub

- Unicorn Startup with $136M in funding

- Notable users of Hasura GraphQL Engine: Netlify, Walmart, Airbus, Atlassian, Nhost ;)

- Support for multiple databases (Postgres, MS SQL, BigQuery, etc)

- Hasura Console (UI)

- Hasura handles row AND column level permissions instead of only Postgres row-level security.

- Database Event Triggers

- Overall a bigger communtity, great docs, lots of example.

I have one of their dev kits (the neat one with a built in solar panel and Wi-Fi connection) - sadly I was unable to get it to send/receive more than 1 message in San Francisco over a 3 month period.

(I live on a side of a hill and had the entire dev kit standing on my roof that was tall enough to have a view over a large part of the city and out into the bay)

At the time, I heard from support that they were launching new satellites that would improve the connectivity in built up locations (such as a city) but I eventually gave up.

At the time, there were 2 satellites a day that were prospects to connect to based on my location, but we met an invisible issue that couldn't be debugged. Potentially it was a satellite visibility issue but could have also been that the available satellite connection was backlogged with other devices / the satellite didn't have a large enough window of connectivity to perform the upload / there was noise interfering with the connection / other mysterious reason that would need expensive test equipment to root cause.

I took it with me into the plains one day (Livermore) and it connected once in the 8.5 hours I was there so it was functional and the RF signal strength was good for the received packet.

My takeaway was that the tech is well suited for rural areas all over the globe where there is no other connectivity options and there exists applications that can work well with the high latency / low bandwidth payloads. Well monitoring jumps to mind as does CO2 gas monitoring in mines - slow moving signals, rural locations, expensive to send a truck to go and monitor.

Same thing happened to me while casually reading SFGate articles, which were loaded with puff pieces about Disneyland. Even when trying to hide all the gouging, it still made the place look miserable.

Its impossible to pressure wash away how bad its gotten, which makes my truly great memories of the place as a kid even more sad.

I got to ride a private car for a few hours [1] thanks to a friend who rented one for a family vacation/birthday gift. The car went from Jacksonville, FL (where the private car resides), to Miami, then to Chicago via Washington, D.C. (or New York, I don't recall) then back to Jacksonville, FL. Even though he got a good price (he knows the owner), and he never mentioned the price, it wouldn't surprise me if the week vacation cost over the price of a new car (the price did cover the two "employees" that came with the car, a chef and a porter).

I'm not suggesting to look at the "benchmark" part of this page. Given that the creators of formats can approximate the result to synthetic metrics for as long as they want, these metrics are secondary to individual perception. Personally, I would have easily sacrificed SSIM just to avoid seeing the green sand on the border of the blue and yellow areas.

I haven't been using PayPal since more than 5 years.

For quick transfers I can use Revolut. For buying something I can use card. For easy payment integration with Web apps there are countless tools.

So I am wondering what use cases PayPal still serves, use cases which aren't already better covered by better means. Why pay heavy commissions to PayPal?
That's why WhatsApp had 50 employees before the acquisition - it's very difficult to do these things if you have only 3-5 people.
I think what you consider the hardest part, putting it together so that someone who does not speak any human language today deciphers it, is actually one of the least of your problems. Unless you deliberately encrypt the information (which you wouldn’t), I have a feeling that even Wikipedia alone might be sufficient for a motivated civilization to figure it out. Linguists and archeologists in our time have to do with far, far less, and they have reasonable success. Add in a few things like dictionaries, textbook, novels, and I have little doubt that it’s a big obstacle.

Rather I think you vastly underestimate what a billion years can do. The earth itself, and all that was on it, was formed a “few” billion years ago.

Our rivers alone have carved entire valleys into mountain ranges in much, much less time. I doubt a titanium alloy and some unspecified sort of super epoxy stand a chance.

And constant custody with regular restoration cannot be guaranteed for billions of years either.

That’s a massive problem for one plate (and its many copies) alone, more so for millions of unique plates…

Rail is nice here in that it’s often electric, you don’t need to focus on the road and there is more room to move around than on a plane or a car.

Continuing to do damage would mean higher fees next time.
GPL or AGPL doesn't infect anything.

You choose what license you want to use. If you violate the GPL license by including GPL software in your application then you must remove the GPL software as you do not have the right to copy it in that context.

If your application is written by exclusively copying GPL code, then obviously the entire application will be under the GPL license because you didn't write any of the code.

The value is that it's easy from the perspective of the user. You mentioned that you use Revolut for one thing, direct card payment for another, and other tools for web app integration.

PayPal offers all that in a neatly packaged solution. It's no surprise users would choose that instead of 3+ different services that serve different purposes

Twitter is hardly a marketplace of ideas. It is a marketplace of hot takes. Twitter format is the enemy of depth and nuance. More importantly, Twitter has been steering this marketplace in a very specific direction, promoting certain viewpoints and suppressing the opposing ones. I am not convinced Musk is going to handle the issue in any good way, but Twitter has not been a neutral "public square" for a good number of years already.
Yes it is workable but you still need MS tools to configure things like group policy.
Recently I tried to jump into scheme (I'm okish in clojure) man what a mission to install scheme on linux.

I first tried todo gerbil scheme, then Ubuntu seems to have the wrong version of gambit (gerbil-scheme runs optop of gambit-scheme for those that don't know).
That took a few hours of compiling, reading, trying diff versions always ended in some deadlock-issue ??

Then I tried Guile,was a little better and easier, but soon got stumped when I wanted to access mysql-db yes there are packages but those packages I couldn't install for the life of me !

In the end chicken-scheme was surprisingly easy and complete solution for a hit-the-ground-running scheme.

Now I'm prob a noob as it comes to scheme, but not to fiddle and massage packages and programs on linux. Trying to learn scheme but spending a few hours just to get it installed was what killed it for me.

Clojure is certainly not perfect, but you could get up and running much faster in my opinion. Oh and it uses square brackets for parameters :)
So what's your "conspiracy" here? What is secure boot-only? Secure boot with systemd-boot has been possible for years. Just that the typical setup has not been very secure because the initrd and the kernel command line where already unsigned.

I see no problems with secure boot from a freedom perspective as long as the owner of the computer can install their own trusted public keys. There might be industry players that would like to remove that possibility. But why Poettering's work would make that easier I fail to see.

Do you think once a real secure Linux boot is possible they will remove machine owner rights and you have to buy a signed Linux from Microsoft? Or from a Microsoft/IBM/? consortium super monopoly?

There's a lot of triangular relationships in photography, and maybe I'm just trying to hard to see it.

There's also the Rule of Thirds, but while not a triangle it is still "3" related
