According to whom? The organization that can't distinguish bad actors from good? I mean, you may be right, but he point is, they could do it, they just choose not to because it would be unprofitable.
I'm amazed that this hasn't been regulated. Aftermarket commodities being turned into walled gardens based not on physical incompatibility but software checks is obscene.

Does the EU have defenses against this kind of behavior? I feel like monopolistic is the wrong word. Creating captive markets?
The more important question is how old are yours? Toddlers can't read so much, so it's easier to understand not making them their own accounts it a priority. On the other hand, if they're teenagers, seeing private texts between their parents could be deleterious to their mental health. Still, they're not getting younger. The only way out involves some level of pain, but the sooner they get their own accounts, the less pain there will be.
They're not independent. (At least the last time I played,) they pull prizes out of the pool when you win them. So if there is 1 Peach in a 100-prize pipe, at most you have to buy 100.

> Other countries fix this by having the shared physical infrastructure controlled by a government entity that rents access to any company that wants to sell service as an ISP.

Yes, and the problem in the US has been that every time a local municipality tries this, they get sued by the ISPs, and since the ISPs have much deeper pockets, the suits never get to the point where they could drive meaningful change with a ruling against the ISPs. That's a big reason why net neutrality has been pushed in the US: because it's the best that can be done given that a better fix has failed.
The risk is carefully managed. These malware ads are on the results page and are allowed until enough issues are raised. In other places, like Google's SSP for the rest of the web, there's far more malware because that reputational risk is pushed to the publishers.

Countermeasures aren't needed if adtech just stopped working with known bad actors and recognizable malpractices.
Realistically consumer still pay for the utility as the marginal pricing must provide revenues sufficient and in excess of capital and operating costs, and a sufficient risk premium to investors. If consumers don’t like it, they won’t get the services. There’s an argument that a market model is more efficient, but there’s an equally plausible argument that utility models provide more stable pricing - and that end users of utility services prefer stability over efficiency. Thanks for the info though I wasn’t aware Europe was structured this way, but it does explain why costs have been so volatile.
It's never going to be great at math problems, it is a language model.
Back when net neutrality was a big deal, there wasn’t nearly as much competition between ISPs. Now that cell data has improved and Starlink has launched, there is a floor on how bad a wired ISP can be.

Suburban development, as it stands in America today, has enormous levels of externalities. The roads and sewers of suburban developments are subsidized by downtown areas which are more tax-dense. Suburban development requires cars which are always the least efficient way to get around vs. walking/transit, regardless of electrification. Suburban homes are large and freestanding both of which detract from building energy efficiency. Most suburban homes today are built with only a 50 year expected lifespan making them incredibly wasteful compared to construction in other parts of the world.

Most people don't use their yard. They don't have more than a few flowers in the garden. 20 minutes with a push mower is enjoyable exercise but they wouldn't want it to take longer.
> want is itself manufactured by the economy.

I would frame it with a different emphasis. Want is inherent to living organisms, humans and others alike. The economy discovers, amplifies, and satisfies our wants. But it is also important to remember that economies emergent, not some external object imposed on humans.
It is a crutch because people rely on it to tell them what is wrong with their code instead of trying on their own. They can't tell until they run the code because they don't exert themselves normally, when programming. Just like driving exclusively with Google Maps atrophies the part of brain responsible for navigation. Why, if you have a compiler or your app to tell you in a moment?

Unfortunately, ability to predict what a piece of code will do, exactly, is pretty important for a programmer. Training this part of brain will make you a better programmer, overall.

Anyway, I do pair programming and people are amazed you can work for a whole day and run large new module at the end of it and everything works fine, as predicted. It is a good feeling.

It does not exactly save time, usually. But sometimes when I know what I want exactly I can do feats of producing larger pieces of code in extremely short time.

Once my manager asked me if it would be possible to implement a substantial, complex feature. He had a meeting in half an hour and he would like to know. I somehow immediately figured out everything I need and have implemented it in half an hour and did a short demo literally 2 minutes before his meeting. I have not ran the code before.

I am also the guy to go at my company when stuff fails and a piece code needs to be implemented on an extremely short notice. Like when a team broke a bunch of data and somebody needs to quickly develop a tool to undo the damage but without risking further complications.

It probably has something to do with ability to understand what you are doing and all consequences of the code. Also structuring the code and solution to the problem in a way that limits possibility for unexpected behaviour.

My recent weird "bug" was when I installed a new Linux distro, just last week, to get away from weird graphical issues with KDE (switched to PopOS for hardware support).

On boot, my mouse started moving really erratically. I would try to move it and it would just jump all around the screen, but only with Razor mouse, not my logitech one.

Great, I think, I traded display issues for mouse driver issues. But it was weird, because it was fine during the live USB.

I spent a bit of time debugging inputs etc, maybe it's a weird driver issue.

I suddenly remembered in my HS days when the school ordered new mousepads which had bright yellow lines on them from some logo, making them incompatible with the "new" laser mice.

It was some cat hair on the sensor :D
It could be, in principle. The problem with monopolization of capital is fundamentally caused by our overall conceptual take on private property as an abstract concept. Within that framework, you need regulation to keep the market free. But it's not the only framework that is possible; e.g. consider the situation where all capital is commonly owned and held in usufruct by its actual users ("everything is a co-op").
the messages are rendered client-side and there's no way discord will bother messing with detection of client-side bot "tampering" that scrapes the output, and that's assuming it would be even necessary to do it this way. It's entirely pointless, if someone wants to do harm with the information its trivial to get it regardless of TOS, and those that don't get the short end of the stick.

At the end of the day the last thing discord cares about realistically is keeping their users "safe" anyway (and rightfully so in my opinion).
Thanks.

I didn't even get into the minister pushing for the reform doing crosswords during a parliamentary session on his subject, the inflation absolutely exploding in France, the surge of students falling below poverty lines and needing food stamps worse than during covid, the ministers genuinely advising the population to "wear turtlenecks during the winter", the abuse of 49.3 article (similar to Canada's notwithstanding clause) exactly 10 times in order to push laws that were not democratically agreed upon, the fact that the prime minister got a football t-shirt for Christmas that had that very same "49.3" number on it and really appreciated it.

Or the political failure when handling the CCC (citizen's climate convention) that Macron himself created to satisfy people's expectations, and which actually delivered amazingly as a panel of 150 citizens representing all parts of France giving educated and actionable input on what the country should do. The energy prices putting small business owners on the street in a country where nuclear power could have pretty much carried the load but has been grossly mistreated (admittedly by nearly every single president in a long time). The recent Uber papers, where Macron was directly cited, at a crucial time where now most poor jobs in France have literally been called "uberized" in pejorative terms. And that his party calls for "decency" in the mist of all of this.

French people aren't dumb, contrary to what the sneering suits might believe. This was not only poorly timed, but absolutely tonedeaf by the government, and revealing of the amount of contempt they have for people who at a majority reluctantly elected Macron.

To my knowledge they don't emphasize anonymity at all. Instead they emphasize privacy.

The distinction being that anonymity is when nobody knows who you are and privacy is when nobody knows what you said. You can technically have both but most systems make a compromise of one or the other.

"straightforward" traffic analysis attacks that expose people who would normally be protected by VPNs and/or TOR, but now aren't purely because of how Signal works.

I assumed that was the intention of the comment but I don't think HN is really a board for young earth creationists or climate change denialists. Maybe I'm wrong about that but I think there are legitimate questions to be debated on this topic and it's annoying to see critical discussions of science regularly side tracked by concerns about how someone's random crazy uncle might misinterpret the criticisms. It's not like the OP posted the quote on a climate research thread, so I don't see why it's especially relevant.
Not taking money that otherwise would be taken absolutely is giving money. Let me know if the government decides to absolve you of all taxes if you don't think at the end of your year that you've been given money. Also that's conveniently the narrative that Macron's party would adopt were it the other way (read: when they "give" a one-off cheque to students or poor people). Accounting tricks have broad shoulders to take the load off the political bullshit of our era.
And in fact, if as an employer all you require is a copy-pasta employee contract, you probably still want to go through a lawyer to have a professional opinion and work. But they on the other hand often just copy-pasta, and write an expensive bill.

> "spicy" take: allowing users to write imperative code (e.g. using loops) that dynamically generates DAGs are never a good idea.

Said with all love: you're definitely wrong and it's not hard to demonstrate.

1) some upstream service exports data as a series of chunked files each day, you can't know in advance how many
2) processing a single file pegs a CPU core for ~an hour
3) you want a task per chunk so you can process them in parallel
4) ergo: you NEED dynamic task generation

This is a thing that Airflow famously couldn't do until 2.3 or 2.4. Luigi could always do it. Prefect, Nextflow, and Martian(?) can do it. DBT can't do it, though the concept doesn't exactly apply (the DBT version is more like "I want to generate models at compile time" which is much more debatably sane... I have this problem currently and our solution sucks, but mostly I wish I didn't have the problem!)

I see where you're coming from, I think, but my experience has been the opposite. In any major project, I absolutely need my DAGs to have a dynamic shape. Forcing them to have a static shape just pushes the required dynamism outside the tool, likely into some nasty code-generation step.

Having used reagent, watching the React space evolve is like a bricklayer watching a constant stream of innovations around mud. Sure, you could build foundations with bricks, but why do that when you can use a fancy mold and pour mud into it? Why have clean blocks when you can have sticky, messy, dirty goop?

Alas, castles and fortresses have been built with messy goop, and the amount of goop-specific tools and goop slappers far outweigh the bricklayers. So I too slap goop.
They chose not to because it would lock most advertisers out. That's pretty much counter to everyone's goals. It's analogous to the "stop crime by jailing all of Texas" solution.
Passive solar design is about creating a home which needs little energy to stay at a comfortable temperature. It's unrelated to generating electricity via solar power panels.

I guess you're referring to how so many people are buying short bed trucks. Which I agree doesn't make sense. If you're going to get a truck, might as well maximize it's usefulness as a truck which is the whole point.

I used to REALLY care about net neutrality. Growing up in California, especially in high school and college, it was probably the number one thing politically that I cared about. All the other political issues I felt were too complicated with too much history for me to feel strongly about, but net neutrality I really understood and felt strongly about.

Growing up and moving to SV, I eventually just stopped caring. Data caps and mediocre bandwidth were good enough for me, I was too tired and concerned with building a life. Now I live in a city with Google Fiber and have amazingly fast internet with no data caps, and I have a newfound gratitude for good, unbiased internet.

Not correct, that post was about San Francisco only. The Bay Area is much, much larger, and has a density of ~1000 per sq mi. If the entire Bay Area were as dense as SF (not even close), that would be a megacity dwarfing NYC and Tokyo several times over.

> There was no such concept of a European as we understand it today, back in C18.

Yes, there was. And its mostly unchanged since then after including the changes that the French Revolution brought. And that identity openly and directly took France as its center. The literature, politics, culture, letters and even thoughts of the people who lived in that era, especially the upper classes, demonstrate that unmistakably. Its not something that surfaces by 'interpreting' what they say and reaching a conclusion either - its what they directly say themselves, in writing.

100% Read or 100% Write are as far from the real workload as it can get. The only exception would be backups read/restore.

Also 1GB test file is often fits in the SSD's RAM cache. Get iometer, 50R/50W%, blocks from 512 to 16k, at least half the size of the storage. Then you would see the real performance.

NB if you have random read way below the random write means you are measuring anything but the storage performance.
