How to Do Fraud at a Futures Exchange
I think you'll find varying levels of maturity in ML ops. Anyway I think we basically agree, if you use something like this you aren't that mature, and if you are mature you would avoid this thing.
Because there are apps I would like to use on my iPhone which are prohibited by the current AppStore rules. For example something like Termux. So my szenario would be:
4. I mainly keep using the AppStore with the exception of selected apps from trusted sources which were impossible so far.
I also remember the "General Failure reading" error messages. There's an old joke about who General Failure was and why he was reading the disk.
Humans living for more than months at a time in space or on another planet is a fantasy. The attempts will kill the participants.

That is for machines or post-human life, designed for the purpose, to do, if it is even possible. The answer to "Where is everybody?" is likely to be "They're home" having learned that trying to leave is deadly.
I'm really shocked more aren't talking about how binance 'failed' an audit for proof of reserves.
I think this one benefits some consumers, who are in to it, but overall it's more the principal of avoiding monopoly practices. The push to allow other rendering engines/browsers on iOS is a much more beneficial and clear cut positive imo.
seeing these numbers just now unlocked something inside of me
yes, of course the goal is to avoid US dollar,
and no not all stable coins are fractional reserve systems
It's pretty well-known but my favourite XOR trick is XOR linked lists. [1]

It's possible to store a doubly-linked list using only a single pointer per node. For entry B, &B = &A ^ &C. You can walk the list in either direction as long as you have pointers to two neighbouring nodes in the list. Half as much memory overhead compared to an implementation where each node stores two pointers.

What will the pet pythons of the world eat in future?
I want the ability to sideload apps on my iPhone, but I really hope Apple makes it painful enough that companies like Facebook can't rely on it to get around Apples app store rules.
Thank you for a great post. Hit the nail.

I’m now expecting to see Xbox Store on PlayStation (and vice versa), Samsung Store on my LG TV (because they have xCloud), no bad practices with a third party store, and everything positive.

Seeing that this solves all our problems, I’m looking forward to xCloud on my LG soon.
My point is that people should distrust science by press conference.

The minimum is to wait for the publication.

Even then, scientific skepticism is the rule, not the exception. Especially in fields that are price to hype.
What if the other app store has every paid app 25% cheaper? That is a clear benefit for consumer
> Mass and energy are equivalent.

Mass is energy at rest, hence equivalence with exception of massless particles like photons that have zero mass and non-zero energy. Also, photons travel with the speed of light in vacuum and cannot be found at rest in any frame of reference. Modern physics is fun, isn't it?

P.S. Neutrinos were thought to have zero mass as well, but according to the Standard model they have mass.
AI's Getting Scarily Good
That’s false. If your business is fine with 12% processing fees (specifically in tech and more so in IAP style apps) and not with 30% - something is very wrong.

[Context] it is extremely odd to (ab)use the leverage of a 0 marginal cost business to be sensitive to a +/-18% payment processing fee - when the world basically runs on ~4% IRL. The business case if true and still viable should be unique and outside of a pure software play - which gets you squarely out of IAP.
The napkin math falls short a bit because the heavy ions that absorb in the atmosphere will create a shower of secondary radiation that reaches the surface. Similarly, heavy ions that hit the surface will create secondary radiation from rock. This factor is why partial shielding in a spacecraft can give the crew a bigger absorbed dose than having no shielding at all.
Could you perhaps provide a link to some more information about it? Because I am reasonably sure my company uses neither, and as far as I can tell from the information provided by the Dutch government it is not a requirement either?

Employing people who live/work over the border is extremely common here, so I am having some trouble understanding how this could be done if such measurements were needed.
> Does that matter?

Well, yeah—for reasons already explained.

Millions of desktops will boot into Gnome Shell today. Millions more people, including people using Windows and Mac and not Gnome Shell, will open Firefox. There will be no NodeJS process running in the background in order to achieve any of this, nor will there be API-compatible runtime involved.

There's absolutely no reason not to say NodeJS when that's what you mean. There is a problem with blanket generalizations about "javascript" that implicate other software and software developers that have absolutely nothing to do with NodeJS or the any of the NodeJS-specific problems that are well past due (read: should have been solved by now). The world is bigger than the back-end/front-end dichotomy that webdevs spend all day thinking about.

I have no idea how to even respond to your CSS comments. Without even getting into whether it's true or not, it's just totally irrelevant. Painfully so. ChatGPT writes more salient responses.
I listened to the two hour press conference. NIF leadership made it clear that energy research is not what Ignition Day is about, why the NIF was made, or why the NIF is operated.
It's a range. If you are hoping to hire someone outside that range, you're lying about your range. If you're worried about the 1% chance you'll end up hiring outside that range, you probably need to just get over it.
Found it to be cheesy, like all mainstream content.
"Making money" is the result of doing everything else well.

It's not difficult to find companies that cut costs in order to increase profits only for it to backfire and result in less money or even bankruptcy.
All I want for christmas is for them to reallow extensions to modify the browser UI.

Unfortunately we don't really celebrate christmas here in Israel, so I guess FireFox will never get that functionality back...
> We’re well into the social shaming stage of the pandemic. It doesn’t seem to matter how much evidence we have. People won’t adopt the simplest measures to protect themselves or anyone else.

That one made me double take. Is it a commonly held view that COVID is "still happening"? In my area of the world (and in other Western areas, from talking to friends), it's seen as over basically since we got our two jabs. Based on this quote and other articles by the author (complaining about children coughing on each other or adults not wearing masks), I assumed this article was 1-2 years old.

Regardles,

> A disturbingly large portion of the public seems totally unmoved by stories of children dying in hospitals.

If we look at the world around us, we see preventable awfulness daily. Everyone's aware that aggressive driving and speeding increase the chances of car accidents resulting in injury or death, yet most people seem to do at least one daily. Most people are aware that their clothes, watch, computer, iPhone, kettle, etc are made overseas often in awful conditions, yet they continue to shop.

Most people are aware after 30 years of marketing that you can feed a child in Africa for a very small amount of money per month (yes, you can afford it), yet they elect not to.

What the author calls normalcy bias, I wonder if this is simply an in-built protection to stop us breaking down on a daily basis. Either way, I'm unsure why the author is at all surprised.
Automate Container Management on Fedora Linux with the Podman Linux System Role
I've always felt that language features like 'unless' in Ruby and also things like 'on' and 'off' in Coffeescript fall squarely into the category of too clever. Simplicity will always win until the end of time.
Is it? Nicotine can come in many forms, including synthetic. I believe what will end up happening is people will turn to black market nicotine for vapes and what not which will be more dangerous. I think regulation and taxation would actually be more effective, and just having mental health support for people struggling with addictions where they don't feel ostracized for seeking help. This has been an effective policy for things like aids prevention where groups will provide clean needles but have counselors available to assist people with addiction.
I'm fan of the Apple's AppStore model, I like it and think it works great and Apple's commission is a nonissue for the most use cases(it's issue only in low margin trades), however I'm afraid that Apple's control over the device risks governments making Apple their police. Apple limiting AirDrop in China is a very bad sign of what might happen if the rest of the world follows China's totalitarian path. Even in the US, which was supposed to be the land of the free, there are talks about banning apps.

That's the primary reason I want side-loading.
Palmerston North.

Lived in Auckland in 2014 and again in 2020. The difference was massive. Suddenly every convenience store had plastic barriers protecting the workers from stabbing. Places in the CBD that used to be OK to hang out were suddenly not.

But we're constantly gas-lighted into being told we're all imagining it, as police presence has all but disappeared (lots of "community officers" though).
If fusion is successful will the countries with the technologies make them freely available to other countries?

Take the US for instance. They have provoked Russia into invading Ukraine to keep Ukraine from joining NATO and thus permitting advanced NATO weaponry to be placed on Ukrainian soil, and having succeeded in getting a ban on Russian energy exports to Europe and blowing up the Nordstream gas pipelies, they are charging Europe 4 times as much for LNG while profiting from oil imports from Venezuela whose export to other countries they have sanctioned.

Surprisingly Europe is not charging US energy companies for massive windfall profits, but they are ready to do it to theirs.

Why should we believe that fusion energy will be different? Fusion energy if it becomes available may be "clean", but will it be cheap and freely available?

The countries who can be "trusted" with fission energy are the biggest carbon emitters,so why do you and they believe that they can't be trusted with fission energy so no one else should have it?

If they alone switched to fission energy that would be a huge drop in carbon emissions, so what is stopping them if they are truly sincere about carbon emissions?
I installed tree style tabs and would never go back to horizontal tabs. I had to use my partners computer yesterday and opened a new tab, but had to go back to the previous one after, how does anyone find anything with horizontal tabs?!

So yes do yourself a favour and install a horizontal tab manager. That actually would be an immense usability enhancement if Firefox integrated it.
Absolutely true, but my point is that there's no destination beyond Mars reachable with the spaceships we build to get there. So I don't get how it's some sort of gateway rather than a detour / dead end.
Are we laughing at the death of middle-schoolers now? Yeah, if that's your view, you and the "good" Lord can fuck off.
Good luck. :)

Apple fixes ‘actively exploited’ zero-day affecting most iPhones
No one is forcing people to buy cigarettes.
I disagree. Two main points of the article are "nothing is inherently slow about doing stuff in userland (as shown by the fact that we made a fast implementation)" and "kennel interfaces, e.g. particular methods of boundary crossing, can be (as shown by the fact that the way they made it faster was in large part by doing the boundary crossings better)".

The title gave me a reasonably decent idea of what to expect, and the article delivered.
Hey that's awesome. Laws should be harmonized or else cross border trade should be restricted.

No sense in giving the market to apps that are illegal in your country just because they operate on the internet.
Why benchmark against AWS Aurora rather than Redshift, which would seem a closer/more relevant comparison to me?

Also omits ClickHouse, despite using its benchmarking tooling?

Edit: Oh, because for some reason Redshift isn't considered postgres compatible in ClickBench. Still, 'the fastest' is 'greenplum' according the full thing: https://benchmark.clickhouse.com/#eyJzeXN0ZW0iOnsiQXRoZW5hIC...

The Trouble with Money
Fastmail Domain Sales pilot program
I think this is a fantastic option - having our own domains for email has been a really good thing, allowing both my wife and myself to migrate instantly from Gmail to Fastmail with no-one being any the wiser. Having service-specific email domains is the worst sort of vendor lock-in for what is a critical part of most people's digital identity. Anything making this easier to manage for non-tech people is very welcome.
I have yet to find someone saying it sounds like fusion power reactors are right around the corner, but I have found lots of people shadowboxing these people and attacking the scientists for misleading press releases.

Seems like an overcorrection to something I haven't even seen anyone here say.
Those sound like problems less complicated than a huge array of laser beams, but the devil's in ths details I suppose.

I'm excited for the opportunity to use Open Source software on an iPhone. I might reconsider some of my objections to using iPhones.

EDIT: I see now that while it's more possible than it was before, it may still be a bit unlikely for this to grow if Apple still must sign the apps.
Re: North America the repeal of such laws in Canada aligned with with the start of prohibition in the US.

(To some extent )

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prohibition_in_Canada

Also, there was no prohibition in Mexico , which some have argued spawned the creation of what would become the largest drug cartel(s)

On "real" (AA/AAA) games? Easily hundreds of gigabytes or several terabytes of raw assets + project files.

Sometimes even individual art project files can be many gigabytes each. I saw a .psd that was 30gb because of the embedded hi-res reference images.

You can throw pretty much anything in there, in one place and things like locking, partial-checkout, etc. Which gets artists to use it
Didn’t Bannon et al. get indicted for a very similar scheme for some impossible border wall project? Seems like these things require patience
Jockeying for social status is our natural behavior. For early humans good social standing became critical to survival. It takes awhile before your brain realizes not being accepted by the group isn’t going to result in you dying due to starvation or predation. I live with a 13 year old and they are just a jerk naturally, it is funny as an adult because you can reflect on that time of life and not take it seriously, but It’s probably harder as a kid.
Yes, it is crazy how much trash in form of bottles you generate with even modest but somewhat regular wine-drinking. For a whole crew of a ship that would be quite a logistical nightmare.

Also, as France is such a huge wine-producer, it is really easy to come by inexpensive good wines almost everywhere. That is not that easy in the rest of the world.
> I'm frankly amazed that people with the ability to understand this alphabet soup mumbo jumbo keep falling for the same scam over and over again.

You can't cheat an honest man, but it's easy to scam people who think that they've found a loophole.
Tesla != EV. My Ford Focus EV, while having annoyingly skinny tires have lasted 60k mi and 5+ years. It's no slouch and I'm a lead-foot.

That Tesla is pushing run-flats may be why they wear out so ridiculously fast.

Costs $18.99 on App Store!
I have fried a PS/2 port before by doing that. Once, in the 1990s, at work. That doesn't tell you how often it happens though because I haven't hot plugged in a PS/2 device since then (and now I don't use them much anymore).
One word. Jailbreak.

I've jailbroken my iOS devices since the first iPod touch. There are lots of tools and features that Apple doesn't allow developers access to which limits what features are ultimately available to the end-user.

Nearly every big feature release on iOS came first from the jailbreak community. App switching, call overlay, PIP video, Shortcuts, lockscreen widgets, home screen widgets... and an endless list of others.

Non of these features would exist without designers and developers having access to the core functionality of the iPhone.

I love iOS. I currently own an iPhone without a Jailbreak (doesn't exist for my iPhone). I'm also an engineer and there is a whole lot of potential that Apple limits strictly under the guise of security. You can have alternate stores without compromising those that choose not to install them.

I understand that Google may decide to create their own store and take all their apps with them... this I can see being a very negative thing which may be needs regulation in itself. IDK what that would look like, but I don't use Google anyways because I have no trust in them. I don't trust them in the App Store so I wouldn't trust them with their own store.
Being extraordinarily connected did help Epstein though: he only spent one month in jail.
We've known since Pioneer 11 that Jupiter is a no-go for the type of spaceships that can get to Mars. Too much radiation on the way, and too much around Jupiter. Mars is the end of the line until we can build spacecraft in the 10,000 ton range.
It is less of inventing and more of engineering. But I would put it along with ARPANET.
They need to be marketed to the public and lawmakers to get passed and like a cve with a catchy name and brand they get more attention with a good name. Eg 1200 page bill which includes the governments entire platform summed up as inflation reduction act
You can be a smart crook and still be stupid enough to do stupid things. Especially if you think you are smart enough to get away with it.
> mainly because I forget the exact commands that need to be run (in order) for a successful swap. With hardware RAID - no commands :-)

I find it useful to implement some sort of tag or link to wiki be added to alerts information [like on failed drive in your case] - makes much easier to every team member to fix the issue without guessing/invent own way during the outage.
Same way you use spark plug to get the engine going in an ICE car
It makes a lot of sense for one gov to not want their BYOD policies affected by foreign (read adversary) countries. Cool.

It doesn't make sense to cut TikTok from US civilian devices because: Land of the free, free speech etc etc etc.

The other guy you replied to is correct, CIA/NSA et all don't like they can't swing their ducks into Bytedance servers and doctorate the content without exposing intelligence agencies MO to the Chinese.

Every American should be fighting against such bill because when domestic cronies own all domestic media, you guys are in a virtual China. Media plurality is the beacon of a healthy democracy, so suck it up Rubio
Whilst I can understand that there will be many people in such circumstances, I suspect the majority are not in them who elect to live in such areas.

As a European, sure. But I'm not suggesting AU/NZ is the only area in the world that is low crime. I'd imagine with a European passport you have access to many countries with low crime rate areas with little effort, no?
Isn't it 15%? At least for companies in danger of not surviving, I mean.
Not even close.

Brave ads are optional, and way way more subtle than normal ads, they don't even appear in the website itself, it just a small notification!

And most importantly, you get paid!
> let the ZFS snapshots handle the versioning/rotation which would give you the benefits of block level diffs

Can you explain this a bit? I don't know anything about ZFS, but it sounds as though it creates snapshots based on block level differences? Maybe a git-annex backend could be written to take advantage of that -- I don't know.
There are no lunar colony ships.
Well, we don't see such problem with Andriod. And, the good thing is we can install Firefox that supports ublock origin :)
This comes up in every thread about housing... If you think you may have to move soon then just rent, that's the whole point. How many people actually move after they buy a house?
I shudder to think how poorly built all these new "Cheap" Chinese EVs must be. If my and the rest of the world's experiences with Chinese built e-bikes and e-scooters is anything to go by, we're soon going to be in the age of the "Disposable automobile." I had a friend who got 4 defective Chinese e-scooters in a row all brand new from the manufacturer...

These cheap Chinese EVs all just going to end up getting scrapped in 3-5 years or less and the environmental impact from all the toxic materials used in these cars ending up in landfills is going to be a disaster.

Personally I'd way rather spend substantially more money on an EV from a reputable brand (I tend to prioritize reliability first and foremost), as for anyone dumb enough to actually buy one of these lemons outside of China, good luck getting warranty support or after sales service or even parts for your broken car. Once your cheap new Chinese EV breaks (And it will) you won't be able to get it serviced, and it will just end up rotting away in a landfill leaching toxic chemicals into the earth.
Tell me they didn't...
In the US, transfers within a bank, or within a cooperating group of major banks (e,g, via Zelle), are instant.

You can use services like PayPal, Venmo, Western Union, etc to quickly transfer money between card accounts, including across the world; not instant but within 10 minutes or so, and not for free.

Transfers and payments using more traditional infrastructure like credit cards are not instant, they have settlement time. That time is there not because the systems are technically slow, but because it's a mandated time window to revert transactions, either fraudulent or done by mistake.
The end of China's national Covid-tracking app
If you have the technology to make small domed oases, make them in the Sahara (or Antarctic, or wherever). No need to change the climate, and you save the cost of a Mars trip.
HIStory
I like theaters for epic movies and it looks like this’ll be an epic movie. Already got my tickets for Friday.
My concern is that scenario won't exist.

If enough developers choose to move to those other stores consumers will have no choice but to use those stores to get the apps they are looking for.

I understand wanting apps that the app stores doesn't permit. There are apps that I would love as well. But I don't want to loose the protections in place to get them.
Let's turn that around: what kind of control do US three letter agencies have over Facebook etc, given how much they fear the Chinese having the same?
Not pedantry, thanks for keeping me honest!
