An ignorant but technically motivated person can also "accidentally" build an NFA form 1 or form 4 firearm by making a short barrelled rifle without the appropriate tax stamp, just by combining pieces together. Or by doing something like putting a vertical foregrip on something that is legally a pistol. Or by making a home-made silencer. And so on.
Twitter's actions seems like retaliation against the employee for enabling other employees to collect evidence of discrimination. Performance reviews often exist to reduce the companies liability when firing people off, but being fired with good performance reviews can work against them.
For a body text font, there's no problem with lower L and upper i being ambiguous. When you're reading paragraphs of text, there's virtually always enough context that it's a non-issue.

Now, if you're displaying code or a password or similar that needs to be retyped, then yes they need to be differentiated, but that's not what a font like this is meant for -- that's what monospaced code fonts are for.

But no differentiation is needed for a proportional sans-serif font intended for regular written language. An uppercase i with crossbars above and below would be jarringly ugly for many sans-serif fonts, and similarly a hook at the top of a lowercase L may not fit the font's personality at all, depending on how other letterforms are designed. (And trying to differentiate the lowercase L with something more subtle, by making it a smidgen taller or angling the top, usually might as well be invisible at body text size.)

I think it comes from the fact that musk & his cult got shit thrown their way from Twitter-leaning people when he started talking about free speech, as it appeared that they were unhappy that Twitter might stop banning people that have "incorrect" political opinions.

So the firings is seen as "karma" coming back to people that "didn't wanted free speech", even if fired person might be utterly unrelated to the whole thing.

> fired in such inhumane ways

gotta complain to your legislators here, musk would be fucked if he tried shit like that in EU...

> The stereotype about conservatives ring true - they don't care about others until it affects them personally.

That's basic human group behaviour and nothing characteristic for any political group. The other side behaves literally identical. Or, well, as usual, the some individuals in the group do, but, also as usual, the more extreme elements of a group often form its public image.

Nobody else thinks that the FCC decided to exclusively pull data from congested cities (I guess in order to intentionally fool theselves?), so they have no reason to look up the sampling method. You however do, so you should look it up, go through it, then give your evaluation of it.

When you make up an accusation from whole cloth, people are going to downvote it. They'll probably downvote even harder after you ask for other people to give you proof to refute the accusation that you made up from whole cloth. If you find the sampling method, and it turns out your suspicions were true, and then you write a comment explaining that, they'll give you hundreds of upvotes to offset these two or three well-deserved downvotes.

It's also alarming that GNOME extensions are updated in the background without user interaction, and the feature cannot be disabled. These extensions are not sandboxed, can run arbitrary commands, and have access to the entire system. Extensions are practically a backdoor for the entire GNOME user base that can be accessed by compromising the update server.

Two different questions here:

For old, discarded devices: It is the conjunction of Moore law and programmed obsolescence that makes this unsolvable on any large scale.

Suppose that Android was modular, not ara-phone-modular, but almost custom-built-pc-modular (+long term software updates). will you replace it that fast in the first place ?

For new devices: The waste/potential is rather on the "software level", not the compute one: These are 2 very different things. It is not the CPU meter that matters.

And you know what, 20 years ago I was hopeful that a lot of people in 2020 will be using their computer more creatively. I was naive of course: If you are not a curious person to start with, computers will rarely make you so.

my impression of prosecutors is that they are a narcissist bunch who are in that role because tough-on-crime reputation they earn by putting ppl in prison gives them a leg up in future political career. so more publicity a case gets and less resources the defendant has, more attractive the case is to prosecutors i would think.

The FCC has the authority to ban swearing and nudity on public television. States can ban nudity, profanity, and (in my state) adult video-store ads from highway signage. States can control what teachers instruct students with (who wants a flat-earth teacher?)

The problem is not unknown value. It’s unknown cost. Until I know everything you will ever do to me with my email I don’t know the true cost. What I can guess—given the thousands of precedents I’ve encountered over the years—is that the total cost will be time taken from my short life to fend of yet more marketing and yet more marketers. For comparison, if you ask me for currency, I know the total cost of ownership. Usually, for me, a few units of currency are a rounding error compared to the value I place on time.

I liked very much the idea of dynamic masking. However, I wonder how good it works in practice. I was actually assessing one of your competitor (www.satoricyber.com) and found an easy to workaround the masking - I was able to essentially access any mask data using not-so-advanced SQL functions. Do you guys have a publicly available test suite against your proxy that people and security researcher can review? Also, do you have a bug bounty program and / or a clear disclosure policy when a vulnerability is found?

Fun fact, Estonia’s commercial register is still available and, as far as I can tell, never had anything to do with complying with EU regulation, but was completely internally legislated.

This was my reasoning when I was younger. Now I think it's sometimes true but not always.

Lots of people do sacrifice financial success for other passions, some of them regret it and some don't. And lots of people put passions on hold and then do return to them once they have financial independence or at least a stable career to return to, and they're very happy with that choice.

Nothing wrong with having many goals, including a secure life financially. My youthful self didn't really need to fear losing my soul so much, basically :)

The in-use 2170 batteries are apparently 250Wh/kg. With that figure and a more realistic packaging overhead of 30% I'm seeing something like 190Wh/kg, which is more in line with your observation.

From the numbers I can find, the Model S 85kWh has 7104 18650 cells - if we use 49g for mass of cell, that's 767lb of cell vs the pack weight of 1200lb~, or a very rough packaging overhead of ~36%

This is a naïve analysis but it helps assuage my ego, as I've worked on designs for 26650 based packs where we would have been quite happy to hit 30% overhead :) That being said, I realize people can, and do in fact make more mass efficient packs.
I hate to break it to you, but the facts are not easy. To take something which is far enough away that it hopefully doesn't come across as inflammatory to you, consider the 9/11 attacks. And how the opinions about what happened are incredibly split all around the world.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polls_about_9/11_consp...

Now, you can ofcourse dismiss all these opinions as "alternate facts". Probably similarly to how devoted christians dismissed theories about a heliocentric solar system as "alternative facts" only aspoused by lunatics.

You misunderstand. I'm saying if they didn't look at only the rural cells then there's not much point in using that to determine whether to award funding for providing rural broadband...

Just because there's a lot of people in highly populated cells that drag down the speed for people in those cells has nothing to do with the speeds of the lowly populated cells.

tldr; it makes no sense to average all cells together, as the goal is to improve the areas where existing infrastructure have failed in specific regions.

(and in those areas, where hughesnet, or viasat, or old DSL were the few options, Starlink does it's best)

That would be a disaster. People would earn those bonuses with things like cutting R&D, making people work more hours for the same pay, and neglecting maintenance/repair, which all show cost savings in the short term and run the organization into the ground in the long run.

As attractive as it is to think there's a quick-and-easy solution here, there is not. It requires constant vigilance from quality leadership to fall into neither the trap of bloat nor the one of foolish cost-cutting.

One difference - cat corpses in the street probably make pretty good rat food.

Although, now that I think about it, the elevated risk of hitting cats in the street would probably make most drivers slow down in the city, which is aligned with my worldview.

Also, cute cats everywhere. I could pet them. It could be a form of utopia. Sorry birds. Although birds would probably do fine actually, they're extremely well adapted to take advantage of verticality in the city.

I'm in! Ship the cats from the kill shelters to New York so that I may pet all of them!

When push came to shove and actual stakes were on the line, we saw they were willing to strike break. If you don't view that as performative, then we collectively as Americans deserve to be under the boot of those currently in power.
I doubt that. Most people in the US getting into a car with a third pedal and a stick shift would just not have any idea what to do. The more enterprising would think, ok, I guess to I need to put it in first gear. So they try to move the shifter, and they can't move it. Assuming they don't break anything, maybe they figure out they need to press the clutch pedal. So they shift, and release the clutch pedal, and the car stalls.

Many people would just give up right there.

Those who don't, might get that they need to release the clutch slowly. So they try that, but maybe it still stalls (maybe they're on a slight incline, and the car won't move without giving it a little gas).

Let's say they do manage to get the car moving. I expect that further shifting will be incredibly rough, and there will be a lot more stalling. And that's basically the best scenario. I don't think most Americans would get anywhere near this far.

As an American who learned how to drive manual by accident in the Netherlands, but who already understood the basic mechanics of it, it was still very difficult. It took me over a half hour to get out of the parking lot, and then I stalled quite often in embarrassing ways over the next day or so (including on the highway during stop-and-go traffic, where I rolled back into the front of a box truck behind me). By the time I returned the rental car, I'd more or less figured it out, but I also had the benefit of my dad owning a manual car when I was young (though Mom made him get a car she could drive too by the time I was 8 years old or so). But someone who'd never even thought about a manual transmission before? Like, most Americans? Not a chance. (I did end up buying a manual car back at home, a few months later, when my existing car died. Drove it for 15 years until I finally had to get rid of it earlier this year.)

Remember, we're talking about a hypothetical car thief here who hops into a car, gets it started, and then notices it's not an automatic. We're not talking about someone who has actively decided to teach themselves how to drive manual, and rents or borrows a manual car for that purpose.

TOTP is a standard (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6238), so I don't see how that wouldn't work.
I’m not sure. Herman and Chomsky wrote Manufacturing Consent - a book describing the manipulation of public sentiment in the service of corporate and political goals - in 1988, and they were talking about wars from the 60s. The term itself comes from the 1920s. And 1984 was published in 1949.

On a friend's machine, Ubuntu had somehow managed to install both the APT docker and the Snap docker. This caused the entire disk to fill with log messages from the snap docker trying and failing to start, since another docker was already running.

Removing snapd is the first thing I do on any Ubuntu machine now, whether mine or my friends'. This now requires adding a PPA for Firefox since 22.04 but otherwise I have never had to deal with snap again.
> It all just comes off like a huge grift and way to exploit the land.

Bingo. It comes off that way because it is that way. With centralized power comes centralized corruption...This article is another outrage piece. At best we can expect some token gesture as a response but in the end, the powerful & well connected get their way by cynically fixing the errors of their ways with some new form of corruption.

> They barely notice indigenous people, and the results of the land exploitation, on the way out.

Our ancestors were indigenous and at some point we became assimilated subjects. I'll give it to the Native American & Hawaiian cultures in remembering their heritage. If the public outrage is notable enough, I'll wager that Booz Allen will have some sort of Native American committee so they can claim that they care about the land & people.

Snaps, Flatpacks etc are tools needed to push commercial CRAP in FLOSS systems. Period.

The present "sorry state of packaging", largely due to the sorry state of storage (filesystems) stuck in the '80s in the bad sense of being simply largely obsolete for today's needs can be partially surpassed by NixOS/Guix model, witch is a FLOSS packaging model.

Snaps and co on contrary are needed to push distro to irrelevance and allow closed source crapware, mostly filled up with outdated dependencies and horrendous hacks to speed up delivery times by some underpaid and under-competent developer, still fail to prove ANY other realistic purpose.

Really: try to honestly weight their ideas and tell different conclusions if you can find something else.

At first they say "we do compartmentalize anything for safety", than "ah, yes, we can't really isolate stuff because if you want just to open a damn pdf downloaded from a modern WebVM improperly named browser for legacy reasons you can't, so we start punching holes here and there" and thereafter even the effectiveness of formal isolation was depicted as not really safe.

Then/aside another justification came up: pushing fresh software to distros who do not have manpower for quick enough maintainers. The actual snap store prove the contrary: most snaps are outdated and full of outdated deps, with potentially unpatched security vulnerabilities, of course.

Oh, of course they can't package anything than apps, since kernel/userland can't be in a snap, so they need anyway a secondary packaging systems.
> I don't think I ever saw anyone asking to support more than one for a platform

What do you mean by platform? If you only ship a .deb, there are going to be a lot of linux and unix users who simply can't use your stuff.

I've seen quite a few tools use curl to bash to work in macOS, windows and multiple flavours of unix. There aren't a huge number of other approaches that can allow that.
