NSO operates the spyware. They have tried to claim they are entitled to immunity because they sell to governments but were predictably laughed out of court. So while this might be a civil suit, all NSO employees and certainly its leadership are similarly exposed to criminal liability in all countries their spyware has been operated.
Ah yes, buyers benefit from paying a higher price they otherwise would have done. This is very smart and sensible and obvious.

(If you're claiming that buyers benefit from being able to buy a ticket that was purchased but then was not wanted, then that's true - but that's not scalping. Scalping is specifically buying a ticket with the intention to resell it for a higher price, _not_ reselling a ticket that was genuinely wanted at the time but was then unusable due to other conditions)

and COUNTLESS others, similarly many "new stuff"/innovations appear and are actually partial, limited and limiting solutions to problems already solved decades ago in a more broad and superior way.

Emacs itself is a bit horrific in the sense that it's codebase is hard to be kept up by modern developers who have troubles knowing it, but at least represent the classic model. If we lost the memory of the past it will takes decades to reach the level of evolution we have already achieved witch is really a shame.

Anytime I see new software, yours, LogSeq, some "new shiny file manager", Tiidly Wiki and so on, witch actually are a BIG effort to achieve something already existing with far less efforts thanks to an already made ecosystems who makes their development easier I have a sore smile: end users suffer from limits of modern software, DEVELOPERS suffer equally because craft something on top of modern systems it's equally terrible but we seems to be unable on one side to reach again a critical mass of users to being able to innovate again, on the other sides most people simply ignore the past so ignore what's lost.

A stupid example: link an email in SB means essentially or support a specific MUA, tracking it's evolution since breaking changes might happen all the time or add an MUE inside SB. In Emacs it's just a simple function since anything is already there. In Plan 9 to cite a project often considered hostile from and to Emacs write an MUA is damn simple limiting mails to Plan 9 itself, an MUA it's just a specific viewer of some text stream read form some user-configured filesystems mounts and so on.

The sore part is that's I can easy state the above, even in my poor English, but I have no practical solution because resurrecting the classic model for present times demand an effort ONLY a public funded body or a large community can made. We have dismissed "for business reasons" essentially all public research and we have essentially pushed to irrelevance all communities...

That's a good enough (initial) workaround if you're in an environment where you're in the minority (or alone) w/ your opinion and you still want to do the right thing personally.

Now while parts of the code base do the right thing (in a slightly long winded way), the rest of the code base written by these other people is still using bad tests.

This, and many more, are more than believable. This one is actually quite sad.
Because good process design doesn't throw out the baby with the bathwater. Like how Toyota was the only car maker able to keep going through the silicon shortage because they recognized the limits of lean manufacturing and that chips are not commodity items, as much as we like to think of them as one. So despite having everything that was a commodity as JIT lean manufacturing they still kept a massive stockpile on stuff that might become hard to source on hand.
They would be terrible employees. Making mistakes and doubling down, too stupid to learn from them, and with the energy to follow any inane goose chase. Being stubborn is good only if you are right.

But they would make fantastic career politicians. You need a certain type of person to work hard to get yourself voted by telling whatever stories your voters care about, but also capable of believing your own lies and fighting for them till the bitter end.

I guess I'm too lazy to admire any of these personalities.

https://www.joshwcomeau.com/css/surprising-truth-about-pixel... is a better breakdown, it's nuanced.
No, there is a lot of transparency and oversight, including to any member of the public, and ultimately the government sets policy. I can just request any document, and in fact I used to work in the public service where a coworker would frequently request any correspondence about him by staff or managers under the official information act. He was paranoid but had the ability to do it.

An example is during covid, the government set policy around what could be done but the police were ultimately in charge with how they enforced it. Additionally New Zealand has a culture of egalitarianism and community. While there is growing inequality, there isn't an elite yet.

The government provides checks on the public service and the public service provides checks on the government.

Another example is the treasury prevents the government going into debt unless there are extreme circumstances and a plan to get back into surplus. The government can't just cut taxes and up borrowing to buy votes, they need to be fiscally responsible and that's controlled by the treasury.

Ultimately New Zealand has a reasonably direct, accessable, and transparent form of government which represents the community that it serves, it is rated top in the democracy list for a reason.

Joe Biden (AKA "The Big Guy") was taking a cut from Hunter Biden's ridiculous business dealings with foreign entities (otherwise known as "influence peddling").
With zero relevant business experience Hunter Biden was getting highly lucrative business deals with all kinds of shady people connected to foreign govts.

Joe Biden denied any involvement with his son's business but there is evidence that he was involved from witnesses (including attending business meetings) and emails on the laptop to indicate he was involved but they were conscious of the need to publicly at least, keep his name out of it.

It's the kind of thing for which, if it was Trump, we would have seen 24/7 media meltdown for years but because its a Biden well "media companies are privately owned and can do what they want".

NEC did their own independent line of x86 clones. Apparently NEC V33 is 8086 with "instruction decode done by hardwired logic rather than a microprogrammed control store. Throughput is twice as high as a V30" (datasheet claims four times faster). V30 was their clean room RE 8086 clone and was already 10-30% faster than original.

V33 was used in PC-98 DO+, and in SOC form (NEC V53) in legendary Akai MPC3000, probably because Roger Linn's original LM-1 and LinnDrum were also full x86 PCs with custom cards.

Sadly I cant find any place that sells V33/V53, maybe could be sourced in Japan.

JPEG XL is about one image codec generation ahead of HEIF and AVIF in my own experiments and personal evaluations. Butteraugli, an objective metric I developed originally for guetzli, during 2014 to 2022, also agrees with this evaluation, as well as the large-scale human rater study by cloudinary.

Many objective metrics get really confused about JPEG XL as it uses some pretty advanced psychovisual modeling that is not implemented in usual metrics.

The best metrics to try in my opinion are butteraugli, ssimulacra 2 and -- with some reservations -- dssim.
There’s benefit to getting regular people to regularly use Uber. To do that, it can’t be a premium-priced product (such as a taxi fare is).

Uber gets big fast if rides are perceived as low-friction and low-cost. You’ll experience that once and do it again and tell your friends. If it’s “eh, a little better than a taxi”, there’s much less word of mouth excitement.
I have no idea of what you are talking about.

Blackouts are a solution to consumption surges. We are not seeing surges right now so there is no reason to restrict anyone. We can’t store electricity after all. In case of a surge, the commercial sector is the first being hit, long before houses. Plus the issue is mostly heating, lights consume next to nothing.

France electricity is mostly clean by the way.

Meanwhile, in Germany, pushing renewable energies is frowned upon and people are saying "look to France, they're doing nuclear, THAT would save us, too".

My theory is that it could open up more space in the top graduate schools and undergrad for Americans who didn't make the cut otherwise. Maybe we can improve on this. We could work on making standard education a little harder too to fill the gap we would need. It's going to be hard competing globally though. We may need to bring people in but I believe the numbers we have are very high right now. I would like to see the mean of america become more educated and richer and more skilled as opposed to just the extremes.

Nowadays it's async framework method calls upon async framework method calls and that is an improvement in the tooling, because it can now glue them together.

Next-gen frameworks are undoing that mess, but god help you if you use some third party library for e.g. state management.
In many (maybe most) cities, there are regulations that taxis have to follow. If you want to drive a cab in NYC, you have to buy a medallion.

Uber simply ignored those regulations, and ran unlicensed taxicab operations. While taxicab companies were paying for limited numbers of medallions, charging fixed rates, etc., Uber was just doing whatever it wanted.

Even if you think the regulations don't make sense, you can see why the taxicab companies are upset.

Credit card security is comically poor. Off the top of my head:

1. An NFC-enabled EMV card will happily reveal its entire account number and expiration date over NFC with no authentication whatsoever. I don’t know whether the CVV comes along, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it did.

2. (As mentioned in the article) issuers accept transactions from EMV (chip)-capable readers that nominally originate from EMV-capable cards without requiring the chip to be used. So what’s the point of the chip? (Note that this allows a card to be cloned without even touching the card - see #1.)

3. The information leaked in #1 is enough to buy things online (as long as the CVV2 can be found or guessed). Wtf?

4. For some reason I can’t fathom (presumably just laziness), if your card number is stolen, the chip stops working until a replacement shows up.

5. Fancy merchants can arrange a subscription that survives a lost card or even a fraud report against that merchant. But these subscriptions can’t be seen or cancelled on the cardholder website or even by customer service.

But somehow all this comes with fairly stringent PCI requirements, which supposedly represent best practices, despite the entire system design being a case study on worst practices.
In the summer they had lots of cooling issues due to low water, if I remember the news correctly.

The article speaks of "ongoing or delayed maintenance, or corrosion problems" as the next reason for the problems.

> [Trump always lied and everyone but the MAGA zealots could see it!!!]

Yea... I almost tuned out right then.

It would have been a FAR stronger article if it took some actual stance on truth, like "If truth actually matters, here are all the times Trump was right and the media lied or kneejerked the other way, so did we go along with it?". I don't like Trump, but that article would have convinced me the author actually cared about objective truth.

Instead, it was "You need to follow the truth I agree with!" which is just more post-modernism in the name of something else.
How did you get so much Karma?
Same stuff in Germany. We ask households to save energy, but at the same time store windows and malls and whatnot are lit up all night long. Maybe it needs a separate higher energy price for businesses to change that behavior.

If a thing is clever, doesn't that define it as essentially superficial and insubstantial? And isn't cleverness that serves only to elevate the author, pretentious? Given the meandering focus of the piece and the author's penchant for dropping names rather than making clear points and reinforcing them via reason or contrast, 'pretentious' seems apropos.

IHMO, cleverness always lacks substance; it's superficial, droll, better-than-banal — but never synonymous with brilliant or everlasting. Pretension is cleverness that serves only the author. Both apply here, I fear.
