As much as I enjoy writing to think, simply writing doesn't lead to reality testing -- I've found even greater clarity by trying to add numbers or simulations and trying to program around what I'm writing. Writing with real data intertwined and numbers applied is much better.

It isn't! These are ephemeral radio transmissions which contain PII. You might collect those transmissions and publish them somewhere, but that would be illegal.

> nobody has been able to successfully make a case that aircraft movements are cases of indirect PII in terms of the GDPR.

So you're just trolling. That's not how the GDPR works, you don't get to make any kind of case at all. The government will when they eventually get to it after clearing decades worth of backlogs.

Trump's done speaking fees. And years of overpriced merchandise. And routine/regular appeals for donations (save America, etc) - to the tune of 3-5 emails and texts per day. Regardless of how much I 'unsubscribe'.

So... this isn't an "either/or" situation. This is a "both/and then some" situation, and... I'm sure we'll see more variations on this until Trump dies.

It's interesting to follow the corporate webs behind this but ultimately not particularly newsworthy from my reading of this article. These NFTs being associated with a sketchy NFT company is just more evidence (like we needed it) that NFTs are a scam.

Ultimately, an NFT is just a small payload, typically a URL. I'm always curious that no one talks about what happens if that website goes down or someone loses control over that domain.

I see two interesting things about this particular NFT release:

1. Trump sure does some scammy things for someone so supposedly wealthy. Would you, as an alleged billionaire, put your name behind something as cheesy as this fora (maybe) a few million dollars? It's claimed tens of thousands have been sold. It's not clear to who (eg Trump himself may have "bought" many to prop up the market ie standard crypto shady nonsense); and

2. The timing. Trump announced his candidacy for president last month. He's never stopped fundraising since leaving office. As a private citizen you can do pretty much whatever you want to with that money and it's clear he's used it as a slush fund for personal expenses. But that changes the second you're a candidate for something. Now campaign fundraising falls under a different legal set of restrictions. This really is more evidence of someone who is cash-strapped.

The art itself is particularly bad, like embarrassingly so. I'd be really curious to know how many genuine sales there actually are.

This is a whole new level of mental gymnastics to somehow shoe-horn your PDF into a conversation about Twitter.

1. You have no idea what the intention is behind an alleged disabling. There are a thousand perfectly rational reasons why you'd want to turn off self driving when automated emergency braking has been enabled. Autopilot in general is designed around the premise of disabling during non-normal events. A pending crash is definitely one of these.

2. There is pretty extensive rebuttals so the most notable example used in your PDF, including that the car in question didn't even have have FSD purchased and that even if autopiloted was purchased, standard Autopilot would require lane lines to turn on, which this street did not have.

its odd to me that the market can arbitrarily decide not to fill a sale at a listed price. I'm still not grasping why that is possible. You'd need to mathematically prove there was no buyer for the stock at X price not to fulfill the sale yes? Thats the only way it makes sense to me, yet I know thats not the case by just looking at the sell volume (there was, in fact, to the best of my knowledge, trades executing buy orders - though in my personal example, it was a few hours where the price was higher then went lower)
My question is, for Physics or CS or Bio, Indians coming to West makes sense to me.

This is an important objective of the rapidly-progressing plugdata project! The patcher is based on pure data so you can live patch yourself into deep space with any GP computer (a RasPi works fine), but has a sleek, calm, efficient, and themeable UI. In the last couple of weeks has grown a compiler that is working in its preliminary form both compiling in to C and flashing a Daisy synth dev board. The eventual hope is to gain compatibility across microcontrollers for not just audio synthesis, but for any creative purpose.

The project is here: https://github.com/plugdata-team/plugdata

The builds are coming thick and fast. 0.6.2 is so far behind the daily builds right now that 0.6.3 is going to be an enormous leap in functionality. Tim and the development team are doing a spectacular job of staying focused and cranking out bugfixes and features sometimes multiple times a day.

I was going to say, I know a lot of programmers, maybe even most, who avoid Linux like the plague because they don't want to waste cognitive cycles on fixing their broken machines. I have found myself in this same place after a solid 12 years or so of Linux use for pretty much everything, home, work, etc. I honestly kinda want to get back into it, but there are other priorities. As long as I have access to some kind of unix-y command line from somewhere I'm good.

A Pattern Language is the second half of a single work, of which The Timeless Way of Building is the first. From the introduction to A Pattern Language:

> Volume 1, The Timeless Way of Building, and Volume 2, A Pattern Language, are two halves of a single work. This book provides a language, for building and planning; the other book provides the theory and instructions for the use of the language. This book describes the detailed patterns for towns and neighborhoods, houses, gardens, and rooms. The other book explains the discipline which makes it possible to use these patterns to create a building or a town. This book is the sourcebook of the timeless way; the other is its practice and its origin.

> The two books have evolved very much in parallel. They have been growing over the last eight years, as we have worked on the one hand to understand the nature of the building process, and on the other hand to construct an actual, possible pattern language. We have been forced by practical considerations, to publish these two books under separate covers; but in fact, they form an indivisible whole. It is possible to read them separately. But to gain the insight which we have tried to communicate in them, it is essential that you read them both.

The former book expounds the ideas. But it is a weird pile of ideas. Somewhat moral and ethical, also somewhat practical, and also rather mystical. The combination has a religious feel.

The Oregon Experiment is a sort of prequel to The Timeless Way of Building and A Pattern Language. It's an account of the development and application of those ideas to building projects at the University of Oregon. It might be the most approachable explanation of the ideas. It has the considerable advantage of being a ninth the length of the other two combined.
I was worried about this and this is why I let Google charge me $300+ for some ads I didn't want ran.

I ran a hemp business from 2018 to 2020. I had Google ads going in 2018 but then the ads got taken down because I was using some banned words. I forgot about the ads and never deleted them. They were disabled so I thought that was good enough. Sometime in 2020, after I had gone out of business, I was charged for some ads that ran. Google's policy on CBD ads had changed and they started showing my ads again. I couldn't figure out how to contact a human and I didn't want my account banned so I didn't do a chargeback.
Next time you're on an airplane and have nothing to do, but have access to a laptop, consider firing up `vimtutor`. I think you might underestimate how much time it takes to build up muscle memory in a new system. Not saying you'll be a wizard by the time you get off the flight, but it might surprise you how far you get!
>edit: Specifically mentioning planes and their locations, I mean, not "extrapolating from cars to planes".

You have to be trolling. What leads you to believe that the GDPR which never mentions either aircraft or cars would treat these two kinds of vehicles differently?

Can you find anything in the GDPR texts to suggest that cars and planes would be treated differently?
It's totally ridiculous. Imagine Walmart tried to do the same thing with physical goods; say any shoplifter Walmart catches immediately gets all their Walmart purchases taken back. We'd never allow it. Even if they were conflicted of theft, we wouldn't say "oh, sure, Walmart can come in and take your desk".

Why have we allowed it with digital goods?

Is Twitter now a no-corporate-leaks zone? Or is it just a 'no corporate leaks that upset Elon' zone? Will he ban people for talking about government leaks, or leaks from the DNC? Are these rules anywhere in its TOS, or are we all playing a round of Chairman Mao's[1] game?

If he is the free speech advocate he claims (He's not, it should be crystal clear at this point), he should be looking for the leakers, not fighting the press quoting them.

The final legal method is always court. You can always file a small claims or regular civil case.

I see dozens of people do this weekly against big companies (my company, link in bio) and it does tend to work well because the legal department is generally more motivated to resolve things than customer support. Airlines and car companies are the most common disputes from our data.

That said, you can't force Google or anyone to do business with you. This kind of thing should be regulated for big gate keepers.
I haven't kept up with the debate over the 'Mediterranean' diet, has there been a consensus of the benefits of the diet? IIRC, a big flaw in the proponents of the trend was that a lot of those benefits -- cardiovascular, weight, etc -- could also be attributed to the lower stress and more active lifestyles in those cultures compared to Americans.

IIRC you are allowed to get the Signal client from the git master branch and install it yourself, but not sure if that extends to local modifications of the client. They don't want you to distribute binaries however that are connecting to the official Signal network, even if those binaries are the official ones. You are not supposed to find Signal anywhere else than on Google play and the app store.

The server is open source technically, but it's not federated. They have also not published updates in the past for months while deploying them on the server (probably to prevent people from finding out that they were testing some feature).
Signal is (as far as I know) single-vendor, which they are confusingly calling “closed proprietary”
I too am 100% burnt from a quarter of a century of random "Linux evenings". I've concluded that GNU Linux will always be a great CLI server OS, however those past 25 years has soured me into calling the Linux Desktop a toy. I'm 100% done investing my time solving issues just like this one. The biggest lesson I've learned is to simply not trust it to be a daily driver.
The issue is that you need to talk to EA servers to play the game, or whatever the movie is hosted etc, and at that time they can choose to accept whatever token you have. Or they can reject it. So unless the content is also decentralized you are not better off.

Easy example is that nft tokens are decentralized, but the servers hosting the actual pictures are not. So you own the token but the picture itself can go missing.
Yes, but unless the blockchain stores the actual content, you’re still at the whims of the content provider to serve the content.
Has this actually happened to others as well? With Google in particular?

'WeWork, saddled with expensive long-term leases and more than $3 billion of debt, recorded a negative cash flow of around $4.3 billion between July 2020 and September of this year. It has been able to cover its losses partly with loans and equity investments from its biggest backer, SoftBank Group Corp. , which to date has sank more than $10 billion into the business.

WeWork has burned through nearly all of it. The company has $500 million in undrawn debt commitments from SoftBank and has said it expects to end 2022 with $300 million in cash, less than one-third of what it had at the end of 2021. Its debt contracts allow it to borrow another $500 million'.

Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Neumann

As WeWork CEO, Neumann on multiple occasions purchased buildings and then leased the space back to WeWork.[56] Observers noted this as a potential conflict of interest and one that would not be allowed if WeWork were a public company.[57] During his tenure as CEO of WeWork, Neumann also purchased US$90 million worth of residences, including a 60-acre (24 ha) estate in Westchester County, New York, a 6,000-square-foot (560 m2) condominium near Gramercy Park, two homes in The Hamptons, and a US$21 million mansion in Corte Madera, California.[19]

Neumann has begun purchasing apartment buildings and, as of early 2022, owned some 4,000 apartments worth about US$1 billion, primarily located in the American South.[58]'

Yeah, I've read descriptions of parties where they say the tone was such that V was used to request that people not bogart the spliffs, but I'm pretty sure that was meant as an illustrative joke. We got a reply email from a boutique hotel that said "btw we use the T form with our guests" and were (a) surprised (that it was not the V default) at first, then (b) concluded it would make sense that they'd send a warning to people who would otherwise cancel if they'd only learned it upon checkin.

Also, don't forget there's a wide conservative-progressive spread within both judaism and the muslim world, so I would not be surprised if the pronouns used in prayer turned out to differ and could be used as shibboleth.

The wartime Hanford reactors did not produce any electricity. They had no safety containment systems. And they released cooling water containing radioactive contamination directly into the Columbia River:

https://www.osti.gov/opennet/manhattan-project-history/Proce...

Aside from "possible catastrophes" involving control rod failures, enemy bombing, or sabotage, DuPont's greatest concerns about reactor operations involved pumping Columbia River water through the reactors for cooling purposes. Using a "once-through" system, water was taken from the river and chemically treated before passing through the core of the reactor at the rate of 75,000 gallons per minute and being released back into the river. The reactor used canned fuel slugs, which prevented radioactive fuel from getting into the coolant as long as the cans did not accidentally rupture. Even if no fuel escaped, however, there was induced radioactivity of the impurities and treatment chemicals within the water. Radioactivity thus inevitably entered the Columbia. To alleviate possible dangers, DuPont engineers diverted the heated and "somewhat radioactive" exit water, containing mostly, but not exclusively, short-lived radionuclides, as well as certain chemical contaminants, to a 12,000,000 gallon retention basin. Each basin was divided in two, with the two sides operating in parallel. Monitoring for radioactivity occurred at the inlet to the basin, at an intermediate point, and at the exit. After six hours, radioactivity diminished by a factor of about twenty. With radioactivity below the then tolerance dose for complete immersion, the water was further diluted with wastewater free from radioactivity and returned via underground pipes for release in mid-river.

Try fly.io. For our use case, even though I've used AWS/EC2 for 10+ years, Fly.io and similar (render.com probably but I haven't used it) are refreshing because I know a lot of the best practices are just baked in.

I really don't see the point of running a large class of applications on AWS at this point, apart from "X customer won't bother us if we respond with the word AWS".

If only fly/render/all these people come up with an easy way to translate a docker compose config to their architecture, that would be madly powerful (first thing I'd try is to self-host Supabase!)
