DRM doesn't do anything for non interactive content. It's trivial to rip video and music regardless of what DRM scheme is used because the content is useless unless it's eventually presented to the viewer/listener in a non DRMd form.

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

You can make this argument for DRM on games, because there is no analogue hole - I can't record me playing a game and give someone else the exact same experience (although some publishers try to restrict this too, not realizing that streamers and youtubers are just giving them free advertising by playing their games).
Overall I like this project. It's a win-win for both the UK and Morocco.

The only problem is the security of the cable. After Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the blowup of the Nordstream pipelines, you can't take this security for granted. I think it would make more sense to ship liquefied hydrogen rather than send the electricity via cables.
Granted we are a large company but we went from GitLab's Premium to the Ultimate. The Ultimate was the $100/month per. We found the aggregate cost of the solutions, maintenance, infra, time, etc., that made up what Ultimate offered was far in excess of we were going to have to do. BTW, they will likely negotiate with you if you like the capability but not the cost. Per the other users comment, if its self hosted, Gitlab should be more flexible with the pricing. My 2 cents. :)
All the regular programmers like us, working a bit and living our lives, are on the block. People like this guy want to take bread off our tables so he can roll around in even more money, but he has a soul, so he has to rationalize it away. He insults us by saying the work we do is useless grunt work and hypes it up so the less perceptive of us get excited about it.

Maybe not robotic, but traditionally the US has ALWAYS (~1776) had labor shortages/expensive labor. So it has always expanded manufacturing from via efficiency instead of using more workers. So automation of all sorts.

> I take issue with this reasoning in that firstly: it lacks a denominator, VPNs are a larger source of traffic in general, abuse should be considered as a ratio.

Why do you assume they don't do this and that VPN traffic doesn't have a much higher rate of abuse? Having significant legitimate traffic and a much higher rate of abusive traffic are not mutually exclusive.

I use Brave somewhat reluctantly. In terms of privacy, I would prefer to use Firefox, but I have several issues with Firefox (mostly UI-related) that annoy me too much and that I could never figure out how to correct.

Brave is my compromise browser.

I'm amazed you put this much effort into poking holes in an onion article.

You entirely missed my point. This thread isn't about plastic recycling. It's about the GP saying "I'm doing my part" and you condescending to them.

The point I was making was

> "how helpful could planting pollinator-friendly flowers in my yard be?", wonder 30 million people

This was in an effort to call out your crappy attitude. The sentiment still works, even if plastic recycling is a scam.
SVB is our bank, I got in touch with a member of the senior team there and got the following message to share. (My own interpretation is I'm comfortable and I'm not planning to pursue it further at the moment):

As you know, we are limited in what we can share until the transaction formally closes next week but in the meantime I’m attaching concise information on the strength of our business, based on our recent mid-quarter update and financial announcements.

Our Moody’s Deposit Rating is Prime

Our credit ratings are also investment grade

SVB took action this week designed to:

Strengthen our financial position
Enhance profitability
Improve financial flexibility now and in the future

Our financial position enables us to take these strategic actions

SVB is well-capitalized
Has a high-quality, liquid balance sheet
Peer-leading capital ratios

Even before these actions:

We had ample liquidity and flexibility to manage our liquidity position
SVB has one of the lowest loan-to-deposit ratios of any bank of our size

The improved cash liquidity, profitability and financial flexibility resulting from the actions we announced today will bolster our financial position and our ability to support clients through sustained market pressures.

SUVs were over 30% of sales in the US by 2010 and over 50% by 2020. If they’re responsible for only 40% of fatalities, it seems likely that they’re quite comparable as safe as cars for pedestrian/cyclist children. (If the base rate of vehicles on the road matches the share of fatalities, there isn’t a spread in fatality risk.)
It's a little known fact among the MENSA populace that IQ varies across your lifetime, too. Friend of a friend did IQ testing 4 times. First time failed, second time succeeded, third time failed, fourth time succeeded...
From the other post: That's 29.4% of LA that's white [1], down from 70+% in the 60s [2]. I guess we have to somehow force whites not to flee from diversifying neighborhoods. Cutting funds to schools that are too white was a good start [3], but more is needed.

Of course, the article doesn't state what % of the air pollution affecting people of color is caused by the white people driven from their old neighborhoods, it only gives an (unscaled) picture showing that commuters in non-white neighborhoods tend to be whiter, than the other way around.

But I'm sure the article wouldn't have such a bold title unless 50+% of the pollution was caused by whites, despite them being 29.4% of the population.

If you're an individual startup, you don't care about the overall system, just maximizing your own. So that efficiency seems great.

But if you're a VC with a broad portfolio, you're much more exposed to the single-point-of-failure risks that come with increased efficiency.

"Give up some efficiency for system robustness and long-term-health" is a no-brainer for mature engineering orgs, but in this financialized world nobody can see the longer term big picture

From my perspective, this is merely an opinion piece without much scientific evidence to back up those opinions. While personally I believe chatGPTs responses aren't particularly novel or reliable, the same can be said for most people as well. Beyond that, the means by which LLMs produce responses don't factor into whether they are considered a success. Chomsky's philosophical views on the matter, while very eloquent and similar to my own, don't add much to the existing discussion on the topic. Something more scientific than him restating his long held and well known views would be nice. Pseudo science only serves to reduce legitimacy of the argument. i.e. stating something is limited "because I say so"
But I doubt the harmed people will feel materially less harmed if some tiny fraction of content isn't in harm's way while the rest still is.
Ah - and that's where it's really useful to have a set of eyes in the company watching for things your infrastructure needs to make everyone else more productive. The business specific rote stuff is usually a good idea to abstract away as well since it's so often highly critical and needs to be replicated often across the codebase and it absolutely must be consistent.
I love that idea.

> On the 2nd of April 2012, a Russian airliner conducting a regional flight in Siberia ran into trouble immediately after taking off from the city of Tyumen. The plane swayed wildly from side to side as the pilots yelled over each other, seemingly unable to figure out what to do. Just one minute after takeoff, the ATR-72 plunged into a snow-covered field, cartwheeled, and burst into flames, killing 33 of the 43 people on board.

> As the pilots taxied the plane to the runway, Captain Antsin switched on the plane’s on-board de-icing systems. Although the de-icing systems were designed to be used in flight, not on the ground, there was technically no prohibition against this, and many pilots at UTair made a habit of turning the system on during taxi to check that it was functioning properly. The on-board de-icing system inflates rubber “boots” inside the leading edges of the wings and stabilizers to remove ice which accumulates there while in flight. But while the plane is parked, ice can build up across the entire upper wing surface, rather than just along the leading edge. The de-icing boots can’t remove ice that has formed behind the leading edges.

Ironically they were not used to deicing procedures partly because it is usually too cold there for ice to form on the ground. As I understand it you need a dew point and temperature of around zero, so that water will condense and freeze on the surface. Snow alone is no problem as it comes off, as I understand it.
A crack would provide orders of magnitude more power. There's just so little energy to harvest in a button press.
Not GP, and not a direct answer to the question… in these discussions a lot of the “benefit of static types” gets boiled down to:

- documentation

- aids tooling (eg improved static references in editor, static analysis by linter, etc)

- catches a whole class of problems before runtime (eg a typecheck-time substitute for certain runtime checks and their corresponding tests)

I often like to add:

- promotes better design

This puts TypeScript’s type system in a unique position, where it’s simultaneously expressive and complex in ways many others are not (because it’s designed to express extraordinarily dynamic idioms used in JS) and equally mundane and simple if you use it from the start (because all that complexity is a good forcing function for deciding whether you all of that dynamism it can express is of value for the thing you’re actually building).

In a more general sense, it strongly encourages developers to think about their interfaces explicitly where they might otherwise “rapidly prototype” a monstrous one.

The vast majority of the time, TypeScript will encourage simpler APIs that don’t need most of TypeScript’s “advanced” type system features. And in terms of productivity, that’s a benefit you only get if you’re starting from the proverbial Dynamic Wild West. So it might not be absolutely more productive than other statically typed languages, but still relatively an enormous productivity boost in its context.
That's unfortunate. I had some complications after COVID as well (with blood tests showing decreased T cell counts and a CD4+/CD8+ T ratio that's well below the healthy range.

I think one thing that took me by surprise is just how COVID seems to damage the immune system in some people, causing T cell exhaustion (chronic exposure to an antigen causing molecular changes in T cell expression so there's more inhibitory receptors and they're not as functional).

If you've noticed some strange symptoms a few months after having COVID, like thrush, unexpected autoimmune issues, or just feel like infections hit you a lot harder nowadays, I highly recommend doing a lymphocyte subpanel blood test.

You can order them online. Might help clarify some things.

I'm currently using a protein called Thymic Protein-A to increase my CD4+ T cell counts and it's been somewhat successful in making me feel better (doubled my lymphocytes which were on the low end for a few years in about a week), though time will tell whether or not it's ultimately a successful treatment (especially since CD4+ T cell counts increase at a rate of about 10 cells per microliter in healthy human adults).

Just my two cents. Obviously it's different for everyone. But I think every bit of information counts while we're still trying to figure this thing out.

Cabbage is an interesting item in that list...

I give you the Jersey cabbage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jersey_cabbage

> The Jersey cabbage (Brassica oleracea longata) is a variety of cabbage native to the Channel Islands that grows to a great height and was formerly commonly used there as livestock fodder and for making walking sticks. It is also known as Jersey kale or cow cabbage, and by a variety of local names including giant cabbage, long jacks, tree cabbage and the French chour and chou à vacque.

> The 'Jersey cabbage' develops a long stalk, commonly reaching 6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3.0 m) in height, and can grow as tall as 18 to 20 feet (5.5 to 6.1 m). ...

10 options to make up for the deficiencies of the base language? I wouldn't call that a good thing.
It took me a long time to grasp and take onboard that attack surface starts with your installed base of apps. I whittled my Ubuntu apps down to that which I use on a regular basis, and I aggressively uninstalled packages that were unused or seemed weird or just unnecessary to me.

The same goes for my Windows machine and my phone. Frankly my phone's 32GB is clogged already and I can't install all the apps I want. I may not really know "what" is running on it, but I have fairly good ideas about "who" is running on it, and that can count for a lot. If I don't install any janky games from unknown publishers, and I stick with truly utilitarian, name-brand stuff, I can at least avoid most supply-chain based attacks, and hopefully some of the jankier data Hoovers.

There are some activities I do when I have to seriously consider setting my phone aside, or at least removing sdcard+SIM for safety from whatever threat actors might turn the phone against me or wrest it from my possession. I do not yet rely on my phone for payments and transit fares, so I can easily get around town without it (even if it pains me not to have real-time tracking and maps and emergency phone at the ready.)

I think if you know who's running on your systems, that's half the battle. Don't invite strangers into your home, don't install weird apps on anything anywhere. Make sure your family knows too. Keep a tidy firewall and DNS-based adblocks. Due diligence goes a long way. Make your peace with threat actors who are too powerful for you to resist, and just live your life as if they're already watching.
(1) when I got involved in activism around 1992, many people thought “environmental racism” would be the next frontier but 30 years later it is a bust. It is true black and brown people are badly affected by pollution but it has not been effective in rallying a movement or changing the situation. (And this is coming from someone who started rallying progressive groups that weren’t talking to each other on a big college campus who had that work picked up and built on by others.)

(2) The racial frame erodes people’s ability to tell wrong from right which is universal. It is wrong for one person to poison another person, it is wrong whoever is poisoning schoolgirls in Iran now, it is wrong for 3M to poison workers, it would not make it right if blacks were poisoning whites. Seeing capital-B black vs capital-W white as a cosmic struggle might get white people to throw up their hands and think if it is really that way they should double their efforts to poison blacks.

So just don’t go there. If you took how to be an anti-racist seriously you might conclude a black and white go into a courtroom the black should win automatically because his ancestors were slaves and that is a mockery of justice.

Focus on it being just wrong to poison people with no if’s, and’s or but’s.

Here I really don't understand why nobody open-sources their drivers when they end-of-life a product. I know some chips are covered by patent agreements blah blah, but that doesn't cover all cases. And part of a code base is better than none, even if the bits covered by the agreement need to be censored.

I also think software companies should/should have to open-source products when they discontinue them like Dropbox did with Zulip (the only example I can think of offhand), but I understand why the profit motive discourages it. But surely for hardware even that tenuous rationalization goes out the window.

The rest of the first paragraph describe an interaction that sounds to me like she was probably trying to deflect his interest. He goes on to say he persisted with a tenacity he did not know he was capable of.

If that doesn't sound borderline stalkerish to you, I don't know what to say. We likely won't see eye-to-eye on the topic.

Not a finance guy but I think that would literally be the opposite of how banks work. They have to lend out customers money in various forms, including giving that money to other customers in the form of loans, loaning it in huge chunks to companies for larger percentage rates than they give customers who keep their money in said bank, and so forth. Not sure how a bank that kept every customers money on hand all the time would work.
