You forgot climate, which in my opinion is the only real advantage - those things you describe can be found elsewhere even in places that your favorite western newspaper describe as undemocratic. The only places with as pleasant a climate as California are parts of Chile, Portugal, and Morocco- all of which do present trade offs.

You’re also assuming that new technology looks like the technology of the past, big mega corps in a physical location hiring from a local worker pool. The biggest innovators don’t look like this. Most blockchain projects are run by globally distributed non profits, most interesting urban innovation is state sponsored with international contractors.

Right: regardless of what the ad is, just by auto-clicking on it you provide a signal that when aggregated together can roughly piece together your browsing history. As a toy scenario, maybe you only visit tech blogs, and tech blogs usually have tech related advertisements. The fact that you have auto-clicked on ads that were on tech sites, and not say fashion sites, is itself a strong signal that can be used to infer browsing history.

Also I think advertisers are already used to dealing with click fraud and so track metrics that won't meaningfully be impacted by this strategy.

10 follows the 'every other windows' pattern (xp good, vista bad, 7 good, 8 bad, 10 good, 11 bad)

windows 10 + open-shell + powertools + wsl + windows terminal is a really great combination right now

for me, windows 10 essentially functions as a login shell/window manager for my linux environment that comes with the best version of WINE i've ever used https://ha.zardo.us/img/ss21022023.jpg

using linux via wsl is incredibly straightforward, to the point that you don't see alot of WSL-specific instructions on e.g. installation/compiling readme's.

My experience is that people tend to have fairly similar patterns of behavior. If they taught themselves a relevant new skill at their last job, they will probably teach themselves a relevant new skill at the next one.

Google themselves admitted that they basically don't know how to interview well, which tends to suggest that style of coding question doesn't work especially well. You have some people who have faked y (false positives), and others who could very easily figure out y given a bit more time but don't do well under pressure (false negatives).
Part of this plugin is explicitly for doing this sort of thing. e.g. You install it and part of installing it, is for this email service.

Reverse phone number lookup usually refers to finding a residential/business address tied to a phone number (historically a landline phone, but cell phones are also owned by people who have addresses), not the literal GPS location of the phone.

I think white pages are still a thing, no?

For the young 'uns - the white pages were part of the physical phone book in every city. You got a new phone book delivered to your doorstep each year for free. Yellow pages listed the phone numbers of every business, white pages listed the phone numbers of the residents.

The crazy part is: almost everyone added their numbers voluntarily to the white pages, because you wanted people to be able to easily find and reach you.

You can run generic sandboxes using Bubblewrap (bwrap) which is the underlying infrastructure for Flatpak. It's much lower level than Podman or Docker though, and closer to the basic reality of containerization as a usage pattern for Linux namespaces. You don't get compatibility with OCI specifications, so it's not the kind of containers that most people might be used to.

The main use case for appimage imo is things you just want to run once quickly and easily. Trying beta builds from github releases for example. It's quite poor for anything you frequently use or want to keep updated. It's also completely lacking security iirc which Flatpak does well.
24% for New York City and 16% for Manhattan if people want an urban comparison, or a "insanely expensive" urban comparison.
Here's an example of what I consider a reasonable hardware key security model:

I can initialize a Nitrokey HSM on a disconnected PC with whatever device key encryption key (DKEK) I want (128-bit AES key). I can write that key down and store it in a safe place (broken into chunks, if need be, for my security model). I can backup my keys generated by the Nitrokey to export files that are completely useless w/o my DKEK. I can store those backups wherever I want without any loss of security.

If I lose my Nitrokey device I can buy another, initialize it with the same DKEK, and restore my key backups. (If I really want to I can decrypt my backups using my DKEK.)

If I don’t want to do any of that I can have the Nitrokey generate a random DKEK that is never exposed. Then I lose all my keys permanently when I lose the key. I have the option to choose the model that allows me to backup my keys if I want to.

If the point of the hardware key is to put the owner thru pointless make-work and risk then the hardware key is serving somebody other than the owner.

Agreed, GNOME is so user-hostile that I'm actually a little impressed.

Personal example from trying GNOME out recently: I have an external webcam, which means I need to move the GNOME panel clock since it's in the top middle of the screen (and thus blocked by the base of the webcam). You would _think_ that would be easy, but you have to get an extension just to move the clock! Apparently each panel "widget" (this may or may not be the official term) defines its own position on the panel. So, to move something, you need to either find an extension that does it (Frippery Move Clock[0] in this case) or edit the widget code yourself.

Maybe someone can chime in with a technical explanation, but my cynical take is that the GNOME devs don't even trust users to be smart enough to customize their own panel without breaking things.

The app works well enough but I deleted it. After setting it all up there’s no mention that it will work without the subscription. There’s no mode to say “continue without the subscription using the free services” just a very large button and a description of the price to subscribe. That’s hella sus. Also the very first screen doesn’t let you opt out of notifications or skip it with “setup later” etc etc — these customer / user hostile patterns had me so jaded I deleted the app and won’t go back.

My problem with Ubuntu is that I can never get it to work right. Debian works right out of the box for me. (By "work right", I mean operate correctly -- I don't mean "work the way I want")

> Can you imagine if other professions adopted "agile" methodologies? Can you imagine your auto mechanic telling you, "Okay, well, putting the dashboard back on is going to take me until tomorrow, actually, but, if I only attach half the bolts and leave the speedometer disconnected, I can get it to you by the end of the day. Would that be all right?" Or a home-builder saying, "Okay, well, the drain pipes are proving trickier than anticipated to install, but I can give you the bathroom without the drain pipes, and install those in the "version 2.0" release. Would that be okay?"

You're talking about stuff that's a regression from the previous state of things, which is rather different. Where I live it's totally normal for a dentist to say "ok, I only had time to fill two teeth today, come back next week for the others". Or a tutor to say "ok, we'll stop there for today and finish the chapter next week". Or a cleaner to say "well I've got time to do the balcony or the fridge but not both, let me know which you want today and I'll do the other next week".

For some deep history on this particular cultural expression, I highly recommend reading Albion's Seed.

This cultural folkway of extreme supervision traces its roots all the way back to the Puritans' child-rearing folkway: "breaking the will." It's no coincidence that the most egregious of these family harassment cases take place in Puritan colonies.

I emphasize once more, for a very interesting and useful background on this and many other American cultural habits, read Albion's Seed. You will gain a very rich and deep understanding of modern American politics and regional-cultural values.

Sad to see so many people treat package management like a gatekeeper. "Oh, you don't have an employee dedicated to maintaining 20 versions of packages for every single distro and release of distro? Well we don't want you on linux"

Flatpak enables people to publish a single package that just works on all distos and doesn't break every 6 months. It's removing the maintenance gatekeeping.

I think it will be interesting to see if tech like WASM results in packages which work across CPU architectures as well as Linux on ARM is very painful currently, let alone more obscure ones like RISC-V.
This is exactly why DoH is a trojan horse. You can't control it as a network administrator, all it takes is a piece of software to simply remove the controls for users to configure their own DoH and bam, end user has little to no control over how their applications perform name resolution.

Little pro-tip for anyone who tries to run their own private DoH infrastructure too, Firefox doesn't like RFC1918 addresses for the DoH resolver. Set `network.trr.allow-rfc1918=true` if you run DoH on a private IP.

I grew up in New Zealand, and when I was a kid it was pretty normal to walk to school also. I spent my whole childhood walking 20-30 mins every morning and afternoon! Eventually I got a bike which saved a bit of time.

But now days, I think it's not as common. My nieces seem to get shuttled everywhere in their Mum's car. One issue is that there's a lot more cars on the roads now days so it doesn't feel as safe or as friendly for pedestrians as it used to.

> a large part of the need for QI would go away if the English Rule was adopted.

The English Rule makes litigation inherently higher risk for less wealthy litigants while barely limiting more wealthy ones, and further tips the balance of the legal system to the wealthy. And it doesn’t address the need for QI.

OTOH, QI would be fairly comprehensively solved if the immunity was treated as an indemnity by the employing government rather than a simple immunity, such that, should QI be established to apply, instead of the case being dismissed before reaching the merits, it became a case where any damages would be the responsibility of the employing government agency rather than the employer, bypassing any otherwise-applicable governmental immunities. (The logic of QI is that it is unjust to hold a government employee responsible in their personal capacity for a violation of the law done in their capacity as a government agent, within a zone in which they had discretion in the job, and where there was insufficient basis for them to know that the act was a violation; there is, I think, a very good argument that this is the case but that the result should not be that all remedy is lost.)

The problem is when governmental immunities stack with personal immunity under QI and with insufficient prosecution of crimes by public officials to denial all remedy, not with QI alone. In fact, I would argue that QI is, alone, the least important of the three roots of the problem, just that it prevents the last available end-run around the more important ones.

OpenAI is providing a language model that has some understanding of the world (in order to do that language model thing) and is surprisingly correct in some situations as a knowledge base.

The key thing is that it isn't a knowledge base. It doesn't claim to have correct information about the world. It has the ability to translate a question in natural language into what would be an answer in a natural language - but it isn't necessarily correct because its about the language rather than the knowledge.

People misusing the LLM as a knowledge base are at fault just as a person misusing a CD tray as a cup holder is at fault if it doesn't work correctly as a cup holder.

You can mark a page as inaccessible (not present), and then, in the page fault handler, note somewhere that it was accessed and then allocate it/make it readable.

you might not trigger the cheater-flag on a single access (because of, as mentioned, antivirus etc.) but if your page gets accessed over and over again, you can be quite certain that someone is reading it who probably shouldn't...

That's one of the intended purposes of review journals like Annual Reviews (https://www.annualreviews.org/). There are some pretty big practical issues with them though:

1. Sometimes the latest article on a subject was written 2/5/10 years ago. Depending on quickly the field is moving, that review could be perfectly acceptable, completely obsolete, or anywhere in between.

2. Sometimes the author themselves is just out of date with the field. It's difficult to identify this without deep prior familiarity.

3. Paywalls.

I don't know what the solutions are beyond "making experts accessible for questions" and other public outreach things.
But it wasn't like this before tho... ~20-30 years ago it was perfectly normal for American kids to be all over outdoors playing by themselves... what caused the regression?
Sure it does. If another tool does the same thing as yours but better, it reduces the value of yours to close to 0.
These cheats Valve banned for only give a small edge. Much less than the variance in skill between players. It's more like turning graphics low for better fps than an aimbot. If you don't care about being good or winning, you can just consider the cheaters to be better skilled players and be unaffected by them.

I enjoy cs go, and I can't recognize a difference with good aim and aimbot. So there is no difference with a cheater or a smurf for me.
Cars existing != car centric culture.

Have you been to, say, the Netherlands? There are plenty of cars in Amsterdam, but it is the opposite of a car centric culture. Bikes and pedestrians abound (including bikes with places to "shlep" your kids or cargo around), and they all have right of way, anywhere, and the drivers generally seem to respect it.

Contrast that with a big American city like NYC, and though probably the vast majority of New Yorkers don't own a car, it is still very car-first in the priority of who gets to use the streets.

It's a problem of the many-distros model for Linux—or, if you prefer, it's a problem of Linux just being a kernel. You can't just target "Desktop Linux 15" and expect to have all the stuff that Desktop Linux 15 has, including a robust set of basic libraries and a unified GUI stack and standard same-on-every-copy-of-Linux-15 multimedia libraries and services and all that good stuff, and let the OS worry about keeping that secure without breaking your program. Programs end up having to be a lot more fiddly about their dependencies, and it causes problems.

Now, maybe the Linux approach is so good and useful in other ways that it's worth putting up with that, but it is a big problem and people are going to solve it, one way or another. If the model can't be changed, then the only solutions available may be bad, but they'll be used, and widely.

> When currencies are unstable, A. This is why currencies need to be relatively stable.

Where A is essentially "some participants can not function". Which is exactly what I said. Except my point was for you to consider what entities can possibly function in the situation of unstable currencies (including in principle), and if such entities already exist, how viable is the economy of such entities.

On the highest level, volatility is just a rate of change, so if you change the time scale what was volatile suddenly does not look volatile anymore.
