If you're living offshore and paying taxes to the place you live, there's no particularly good justification (except might makes right) for the US to force you to pay taxes. AFAIK it's the only country, both now and in history, to claim taxation rights over its citizens perpetually no matter where they are.

I learned that lawyers are allowed to lie like there's no tomorrow, especially in civil cases pre-trial, in my jurisdiction.

This was especially emotionally scarring when I hired a lawyer to rebuke civil claims of several thousand Euros for (supposed) downloading of some TV show episode, a practice which is either considered a national sport, or a major contributor to GNP in Germany (the copyright claims, not the downloading).

The lawyer sent his usual spiel, his €300 template letter to the opposing council, which claimed that I'm a bumbling idiot who has no clue how to power up a PC, let alone plug in a network cable the right way 'round, and thus, can't possibly be guilty of any such shenanigans.

I asked her whether a Linked In-profile that identifies me as a Sys Admin and IT Systems Architect might become a problem with this tale, but various lawyers assured me that this is a highly scripted industry (both the copyright claims and the defenses) and nobody cares. And the scripts are actually legal students sitting at home with access to a fax gateway.
No. The generally shitty state of the state did.

I was tired of lock downs when others were free.

I was tired of paying ~10% more in taxes than else where (and they still have their claws in me thanks to equity)

I was tired of being treated as an extremist when on the national scale I'm a moderate (and classically liberal relative to the national scale).

I was tired of living in a place where even as a 97th percentile income earner I'd never find a 3 bedroom home ownership (I want kids) affordable without also having a 97th percentile earning spouse. And also tired of moving because my landlord wanted to play a game of "Your rent is going up 10%", "Oh you gave notice, just kidding only 5%"... when I could live blocks away for 5% less. It's exhausting to have to fight that fight ever 12 or so months, and just feel straight up used by people who are playing games hoping the grief of moving is enough they can extract more out of someone who is basically the perfect tenant. And don't give me "Rent control" BS, essentially every rent controlled unit I saw was falling apart, old (thin walls, no amenities etc), and generally terrible places to live.

I was tired of being constantly treated unfairly or as less than due to my race, gender, and religious views.

I was tired of Newsom and other elites hypocrisy, and the people who refused to call him out on it.

I was also a bit tired of the hype culture, where the lowest mental state you could be is "Excited, and so happy", everyone is a "CEO/Founder", and if you're not going to Tahoe, then are you even alive? I want to live somewhere that I can be honest about how life is going and not be ostracized.
I was using it as well, but after talking to my very knowledgeable dentist, pressure cookers destroy most of the vitamins from foods. Since talking to her I started using my pot without the pressure valve, semi open, and use it as a small simmering device, similar to a pot on a stove, but without needing to remember to turn it off.
> … and yet there are still counter-examples: Candid photography[1] has long been recognized as art, and I wouldn't feel that the photographer is a "shitty person" for trying to capture a view of the world not affected by knowledge that the camera is trained on them. (And permission after the fact is not always possible. Nor necessary, even to avoid be "shitty".)

I think if the picture/video is to be posted online or in a gallery, the person in the picture has a right to say how their likeness is being used, regardless of context. If someone's in the background of a video a I would say it's not as relevant, unless the background person becomes the subject unintentionally (as often seen in fail videos).

Surveillance is a different matter. You are notified you're entering a building with cameras, and those also aren't streamed online or displayed publicly.

As for public figures: there's usually separate laws for such things for public figures, AFAIK
If you're alluding to the notion "AI will take ALL the jobs!", well, here I am, still building websites for well established companies that still don't (in 2023!!!) have a web presence. Hell, half the worlds banking system still runs on COBOL!

Nope, luckily we still partially work from home and use Chrome Remote Desktop. The command prompt was running on my Windows machine, which I accessed remotely, so I could capture it with the extension. That wouldn't have worked if I had been in the office that day.
Hi, it is now owned by tinc.gmbh

I sold it on 04/2021
Seconded. I moved from Sweden to Switzerland (Aargau) and I was in awe of how little nonsense there’s been.
Here's my analysis of what's going to happen if this goes through.

First, quote from the MOU [1]:

> AFBF agrees to encourage state Farm Bureau organizations to recognize the commitments made in this MOU and refrain from introducing, promoting, or supporting federal or state "Right to Repair" legislation that imposes obligations beyond the commitments in this MOU. In the event any state or federal legislation or regulation relating to issues covered by this MOU and/or "Right to Repair" is enacted, each of AFBF and Manufacturer reserve the right, upon fifteen (15) days written notice, to withdraw from this MOU.

It might play out like this:

1. Deere starts a half hearted parts process. They will provide some parts, there will be year long delays in roll out, it will be annoying to use, documentation will be made incomplete on purpose by leaving out random pages or drawings and there will be no way to get them to fix it.

2. Farmers are now locked into using this service for their existing deere equipment because anything else will bankrupt them. Those machines will remain in service for a good 10-20 years which is an important time frame, because

3. Deere will spin off a subsidiary or buy a competitor which will sell what used to be Deere branded technology, "under license". This "new company" will keep all the anti-repair technology in place. New products will primarily come from this company going forward, and the products will be priced so that actual Deere-branded products are not competitive any more, especially second-hand ones.

4. It is now 2028. The MOU cannot be broken because farmers still need parts for their "old" Deere products. Deere anti right to repair lives on in the artificial competitor, which now retains 90% market ownership. Farmers cannot argue for right to repair any more. They've been sold out. Everything has gone back to normal for at least the next 25 years, as far as Deere is concerned.

Yeah.

I found and read that before my above comment (and skimmed some of the associated paper[1]) but all that says is direct detection hasn't been attempted since Viking, and that most good signals require in situ or sample return.

It still doesn't answer my question! "astrobiologists distinguish between direct detection of life and biosignatures".

The highest methods in terms of strength of evidence obtainable with remote sensing would be finding "deviations from thermodynamic equilibrium and/or kinetics" of "co-located reductant and oxidant" or "element or isotope fractionations indicative of metabolism". Which sound a whole lot like a detection of a biosignature, which "astrobiologists distinguish" from direct detection . :)

I suspect direct detection in an astrobiological context must mean either "direct, as in we physically touched it" or maybe "a signature found using direct imaging".

Definitions are hard. :)

Also, in a slightly better light, people don't actually know what "best" is. Sure, there is a ton of ugly competition, but there is also some good forced exploration out of that to try alternatives which frequently can arrive at higher global maxima.
Hi :)
Not yet. I’m in a very burned out mode right now. Need to settle a bit.
So I'm going to put a laptop on the stand when I go to trial? Give me a break.
Perhaps we should start a Go Fund Me to create a permanent endowment for gail.com so that it never goes away. This is a precious piece of internet history that deserves to be preserved for future generations.
Oh, and thank you for your kind words!!
Traffic policy technology is a network traffic management mechanism. A traffic policy classifies packets with the same characteristics into a class and provides the same service for these packets. By configuring traffic policies, you can define traffic classification rules to separately process the traffic matching the rules, reducing the loss caused by network congestion.
My bet would be that the next big social platform will come about when Apple and Google agree an open messaging platform for Android and iOS.

That will at a stroke provide an alternative network to Whatsapp available on every phone and desktop.

Apple is currently resistant but I think they'll come round to the idea once they realise that that they can pretty easily displace Meta from day to day messaging.

> While at Apple, I also led the department developing the Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Messages and FaceTime apps on OS X—as well as Core Services, a set of frameworks familiar to anyone programming for the Mac. My teams did the original versions of some built-in iPad applications. And, of course, I was responsible for WebKit on iOS in addition to the desktop.

Huh. I wish Apple still focused on these apps. Those apps used to be great at the time this guy was there. Nowadays it's all kind of lame.

But yeah these days all the development on desktop seem to go on JS/HTML - partly thanks to WebKit (which was a basis for Chrome later, which was basis of Electron) - which makes the app kind of suck, but honestly the development side is much easier. And people actually use phones in 2023 more than desktop. So, whatever.
Erm no, if there is a group of hooligans, than I will still assume that they are up for violence and if there is a bunch of MBAs taking over companies, I will assume that they are there for short term profit.
Two+ years in Algarve, with registered activity and paying all the taxes here. Having foreign income all my taxes fall within sweet NHR regime. Can't say anything bad about bureaucracy, with proper lawyer help it is slow-ish but very decent process.

Lease prices are driven by taxes and tourism, short term (AL) accommodation is taxed at 6%, long term lease contracts go from 30% (for 1+ year contracts) down to 10% (for 10+ years contracts). Obviously landlords are pushed into short term accommodation which creates lack of long term offers. Matter of getting taxes more fair over long/short term categories would fix the market immediately.

Quality of life and nice people are above anything else so I wouldn't change a thing from this current setup.
Do you have any personal experience or opinion if this law/metric is helpful for consumers in praxis?
That's because most Stadia devs used Windows, but the cloud instances ran on Linux, so devs had to copy their games from Windows to Linux. We're currently adding support for Windows to Windows as well.

While I agree with you that companies should provide sufficient information to enable consumers to repair their products, I think considering the complexity that goes into manufacturing mechanical components and fabricating circuit boards, it would be a long shot for many consumers to repair equipment on their own.

Hobbyists/industrial outfits would be a different story as they would have in-house expertise....

Not quite because there is no public/private key analogy. With a physical key there isn’t much security and you are relying on the copying of the key (if someone takes a photo) not happening. There would need to be some sophistication and anyone that sophisticated wouldn’t need to burglarise you. And it is that fact you rely on for a key. It is almost like a credit card PIN

Max was released in 1996 and Maya in 1998. From my foggy recollection, it took a while for Max to become widespread so my hunch is that 3D Studio for DOS and Lightwave ruled the roost for most of the 90s.

Years ago, on an old (~2000/2001, AMD K series maybe?) system, I was doing some patches for a friend of mine and noticed there was an update for his BIOS. Went through the normal process of backing up to a floppy (luckily, I didn't always do this on my own upgrades before this point!), began the flash process and it all appeared to work fine. Rebooted and the machine didn't come up at all. Blank screen, nothing. I totally panicked. He came to check in and I must've been profusely sweating by this point and we chatted it through, but I noticed, on reboot, the floppy drive gave a tiny click, not like the normal exaggerated one it would do when normally booting. I had a glimmer of hope that it might still read a boot record from the disk, which it did. When the floppy stopped grinding, I carefully typed in the commands (even though there was no output to screen), I knew were on the disk (after running back home to build a bootable disk with a flasher and the BIOS dump) managed to restore the BIOS back to running perfectly with the old version!

Was absolutely terrifying, but very rewarding to get back a machine that we were both sure was bricked!

The fastCDC paper says they used random values.

"It employs an array of 256 random 64-bit integers to map the values of the byte contents in the sliding window"

I presume using something else would skew the distribution of selected chunks. I don't know if that would help or hinder.

In my very limited experience, a picture of Rick Astley as the constants gave a similar distribution™ of chunks over a mixture of documentation files and Linux ISOs.
It works much the same way as you exclude the rest of the people in the world from a document... Don't publish it on the open internet...
This actually branches into a fascinating discussion about privacy.

Arguably the world would be a much better place if corporations, governments and people were both unable and unwilling to keep secrets.

Although, again, with all things being equal, good luck finding people to "go first".
I remember Max being remarkably intuitive compared to the other 3D software I'd seen at the time.

> The core teachings, and canonical status of the bible, is very consistent across the major denominations.

Is it really?

Eastern Orthodoxy and Catholicism put great emphasis on following the teachings of the Saints and the Church, much more so than trying to understand the religion by yourself. Many strands of Protestantism are the exact opposite.

Many protestants believe that the Church should be an active part of people's lives and guide them in all decisions, while Eastern Orthodoxy believes the Chruch must limit itself to spiritual matters and mostly even avoid things like charity.

Catholics believe that much of the Bible is entirely allegorical and should be interpreted only as such (most notably, Genesis). Many American Protestant traditions believe that everything in the Bible is literally true, leading to Creationism and an opposition to the theory of evolution, and sometimes even to New Earth Creationism.

Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Calvinism, Lutheranism and others believe that the teachings of Jesus and the early Church Fathers make the Old Testament mostly obsolete (especially in regards to dietary and clothing restrictions, the Shabbat, or circumcision), while some Protestant churches hold some or all of these as still part of Christian cannon.

There are many other major differences - the effects of God's favor in this life (leading to ideas like the prosperity gospel in Protestantism), the belief in saintly miracles, the very existence of saints, faith healing, trinitarianism, filioque, fasting, the dates of Christmas and Easter and many others.
I've been using vim for 20 years and never knew about this. It's a life changer! (I should have looked it up ages ago...)
It depends on what you consider oppressive. In terms of international freedom indices, South Korea is about as free as the United States of America (https://freedomhouse.org/countries/freedom-world/scores or https://rsf.org/en/index) or not far from it (https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/freedom-i...)

Of course this doesn't say much if you don't consider the USA to be a very free country but I'd reckon most of the world still does.
They can't and most likely would kick the app out of the store, hence why this is the Website code.

Looking at the hundreds of moons defines "locked" without qualification to imply 1:1.

Mercury is literally the only body in the whole solar system in any sort of more complicated "lock". So, no, it really is about word games.

We don't have a rigorous understanding of neural networks.
I never claimed to have proof, just that it's true. ;-)

Personally, it "feels true" that life exists as a undeniable consequence of statistical thermodynamics (see: http://www.englandlab.com/uploads/7/8/0/3/7803054/2013jcpsre... referenced in https://www.quantamagazine.org/a-new-thermodynamics-theory-o...).

But I know I'm an engineer, not a scientist or mathematician. I'm perfectly comfortable with things being true even sans iron clad rigorous proof. If you limit your worldview to only that which has been rigorously proven you miss out on a lot of necessary and interesting truths, I think.
Any idea how that can be done by entrepreneurs without having $180k in the bank?

Potentially in ~100 years you could have two AIs sort out the cases. If you can't afford a really good AI to defend you, you can use the public-defender-AI which is trained on the same dataset as the prosecutor-AI. Only involve humans on appeal. It sounds dystopian but I can't see why not to do it, in most simpler cases it's a waste of a human to repeat the same argument for the hundredth time.

There's already things like this without AI to sort out for example EU flight compensation (companies like https://www.airhelp.com/en-int/), parking tickets (https://www.appwinit.com/) and probably more that I don't know about. All of these are complete waste of time to actually have humans deal with, and there's many more small crimes that could work the same way, also to make prosecutor offices more efficient and less biased hopefully.
To anyone looking, follow rpilocator.com. Supply has been slowly improving.
Monotheistic religions most certainly do address human suffering. The very basis of religion is how to overcome our suffering (due to sin or purity test) in order to be closer to God.
The success rate is not what’s impressive in itself. It’s the speed of improving on the test. We can expect it to get to 90% soon, and that will have real world impact (replacing lawyers for easy advice questions).
If it could build a case better than a human, you would. But currently it's nowhere close to that
I couldn't figure it out either, coming from lightwave.
