For information: the limit is above ten million pixels in all browsers, and containers that large are occasionally genuinely useful.

(See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34299569, among other places I’ve remarked on it. Note that that’s just testing the limits of declared CSS values; I haven’t tested whether you can obtain larger values by containing multiple large children rather than specifying an absolute height. Can’t find any place where I documented Chromium’s value for some reason, but it seems to be 11,184,809 pixels, five less than a third of WebKit’s value, with the same clamping behaviour.)

The kinds of individuals who are willing to do what it takes to rise through the ranks in a bureaucracy -- i.e., bureaucrats -- have a long history of staying in line, following orders, and engaging in mental gymnastics to rationalize their behavior when their bureaucracy is run by an authoritarian who pushes it in evil directions. (People who have a strong ethical core or non-negotiable principles tend to leave early on, either resigning or getting fired.) Every abominable "strong man" and authoritarian dictator throughout history has presided over an impersonal bureaucracy that follows orders.

By the way, the "Harry Potter" books do a remarkably good job of showing how this happens -- it describes with examples the process via which otherwise normal, decent people who need a job end up falling in line -- at a large bureaucracy called "The Ministry of Magic," when an evil, authoritarian, xenophobic leader called "Voldemort" takes over. The movies based on the books don't do as good a job, because they skip over most of the bureaucratic details.

I actually do, it's always good to have a few back up essential things if they don't take up too much space. Every time I go camping/travelling I update my old OnePlus 3T (LineageOS is still up-to-date which is amazing) and bring it with me. If my iPhone breaks I can move the SIM card and still keep at it.

Right, which is why arguments about going vegan advocate for having fewer cows, which kind of renders the rest of your argument moot.

On the other hand, are we really comparing the leadership of Afghanistan and Iraq to Ukraine and deciding these things are the same?

Last I checked, Ukraine hadn't invaded its neighbors, gassed ethnic minorities, or taken freedom from its entire female population.

The US handled Afghanistan and Iraq poorly, and lied about reasons for going in, but there were actual underlying reasons.

Ukraine is only being invaded because Russia thinks it can.

Hell, Ukraine explicitly gave up its weapons of mass destruction... in exchange for security guarantees... from Russia.
The EU is bureaucratic and technocratic but it’s got more hits than misses for me. (Am European)
What SpaceX is doing is amazing, and it is a fun show. Reusable rockets are beginning to be as cool as the space shuttle was. However, it could very well be the case the Shotwell and the engineers are actively trying to prevent Musk from making bad calls while promoting good calls (I'm not saying this was a bad call). It's perfectly reasonable, if you have a company controlled by two actors, one of them bad and one of them good, to always praise the good actor when things go right and blame the bad actor when things go wrong (caveat: I am not calling Elon a bad actor, just saying that it's not hypocritical to always blame the bad actor and praise the good actor).

But this leads to a bigger problem. SpaceX's attitude of experiment vs. drawn-out design is working (perhaps not too dissimilar to agile vs. waterfall design). Even with all that careful planning, the Space Race did kill people, we almost lost Apollo 13, and there were two distinct shuttle disasters that killed everyone on board. Even with very careful progress, we still had disasters. But, as I think this launch shows, SpaceX is going to experience similar events unless there's a incentives and structures to actually empower people with safety concerns (meaning the engineers and technicians on the ground).

Both post-mortems on the shuttle disasters are filled with something like "a higher-up decided it wasn't that big of a deal and dismissed concerns because previous red flags turned out to be nothing." Single humans can be singularly stupid. Single humans that are busy running a company, incentivized by profit margins, isolated from on-the-ground operations, equipped with a golden parachute, and wealthier than god, are even more prone to detachment from reality.

I also feel a bit bad for the astronauts that have to gamble whether these rockets are safe. Did this actually pass safety checks or is my life a sacrifice Elon Musk is willing to make? I suppose this has been part of the calculus of all astronauts since the post-Space Race era started to defund NASA, but it still sucks even if it's de rigueur at this point.
Right, but that apparently isn't happening to enough people, so these different means to erode our reasonable expectation of privacy will continue to grow. As they do governments can hold up Ring cameras for example and say, "look, everybody has one of these on their front porch and they're filming their neighbors. If you let a private company do that then there's nothing legally keeping us from doing the same."

It's pretty blatant in my neighborhood already. Whenever something criminal happens and cops come around one of the first things they ask is if I have a Ring doorbell they could take a peek at.
Russian food, language, and religion are better preserved by Russian communities outside Russia. Immigrants that left in 1990s as adults speak purer Russian than TV news people.

Nope, what libreboot does is make coreboot simple for end users to install. With coreboot, you have to configure it manually (by design). Libreboot even provides pre-compiled binaries (with clear instructions on how to install them).

Change my mind? I hadn't meant to make a value judgement about their progress. How could I not knowing how long they've studied?

My comment was about the current level of their French. It's in the elementary range A1-A2, with some problems that look Duolingo-specific around tenses and conjugation.

Would a year of classroom instruction produce better results? I think it would produce different results. I think they'd know basic present-tense verb conjugation, especially first-person. I think they might also get the passé composé (main tense used for past actions) and "aller-verb" ("going to" verb) construction for future tense (which wasn't relevant to the post).

My main point was about the Duolingo-specific errors. Classroom instruction tries to give grammar and conjugation tools that will allow you to construct French. It does not always do so well or efficiently (Language Transfer is much better, IMO). The French I was attempting to assess was missing a lot of this. The author appeared to have words but be missing a lot of grammar, conjugation and common word order information. Duolingo does not really convey these building blocks, and that's one of the primary criticisms of the method.
That was us until the early 1800s. So I would say likely.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to retain the existing label, link to the resource indicating how much state financial support and/or editorial control, and also label other publishers by their known revenue methods:

- advertising supported

- directly politically supported

- PAC-funded

- SPAC-funded

- nonprofit organization [in territories x, y, z]

And maybe also their methods of journalism; in the interest of evidence-based policy by way of evidence-based journalism:

- Source and Method

- Motive and Intent

- Admissibility vs Publishability

- What else?

Well, that's what I mean, a million of the 20-40 age group of a certain socioeconomic class, with relevant skills, a lot of ambition and not many dependents. Those are the exact group to start new things and do a lot of good, and my point was that maybe the world is better off with them in the more productive countries vs even the pre-war Russia.
This reminds me of how totalitarian systems create their enemies. Enemy is at the same time portrayed as dangerously incompetent but also incredibly dangerously cunning.
> Earlier this week a letter from an activist imprisoned in France was posted to the Internet.

And this letter's authenticity was verified how?

Even if authentic, it could be the result of coercion, to create a bluff and spook some other activists.

Or it could be that the cops fooled the activist into believing that they cracked his hard drive, so that he then wrote the letter.

Do not believe everything "posted to the Internet".

The letter says (DeepL translation) that "There are even files that had been deleted and emails that had been downloaded with Thunderbird (and then deleted)."

Files and e-mails come from somewhere. If I know that you downloaded certain files or e-mails from a mail server to your encrypted hard drive, I could claim that I decrypted them from your drive and spook you.
Russian news is control by the state. US/Western mass media news are control by "private company" that also have to align with the either the democrat party narrative or republican narrative. Both party must also align with the state.

Are teslas really the most inconvenient to have in Tokyo?

They’re not small which definitely counts against them, and their weight may play against the stacking garages some folks have, but IIRC having a car in Tokyo requires justifying that you have an off-street parking spot so it seems well suited for EVs.

Holism founders, and that utterly, on friction.

When you assemble a complex system, you do not get emergence; you get friction.

Friction in mechanical systems is somewhat understood. Friction in organizations, in processes, and in software are progressively less well understood. But this is where we need to be looking, because to an excellent approximation, everything that we make or use is paralyzed by friction.

Friction is not minimized by optimizing the whole, nor by optimizing single parts, but by optimizing the points of contact between parts. This is the goal of specialization.

The danger is to mistake the gears for the watch.
For the public interest, this project might be most useful for suggesting to people unfamiliar examples of some of the kinds of profiling information that others have been building and using.

But don't read too much into how well this does or doesn't work. Some will do more. Some will do it more accurately. Some will do it with the same accuracy, or less accuracy, which can also be very bad.

Also be aware that, for every person concerned about the public interest, there are countless others who are looking at this through the lens of personal/business advancement, which has been normalized in our techbro circles. So, when you're raising awareness to the public, you're also attracting more sharks to the public beach, and handing a `git clone` starting point to aspiring new sharks.
Not the creator, but I did download it to try it. One feature it has is a custom video player that displays Spanish subtitles and you can tap on any word in the subtitles show the English translation of the word. I’ve never seen anything like this before and there’s probably no web standard for this. Complex touch interactions might be easier to add to an app.

Also, I’m not sure if this app has notifications yet, but notifications and badges are a good way to get people to come back to your app every day. I think websites can do push notifications now, but not badges.
Right. Apple was likely to go USB-C soon on the iPhone anyway, but the EU rule may have pushed it up. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to make two physical versions over the charge port so all iPhones are (allegedly) going USB-C.

They only made things different when they absolutely had two, like the radios. But software featured are really easy to differentiate in different countries.

The big risk, and I agree with you, is that this will prove that sideloading isn't the great evil they’ve been portraying and they’ll be forced to offer it in additional places by more laws until it becomes easier to just give it to everyone.
We will need to find methods of removing micro and nanoplastics from our bodies. We are already ingesting them from multiple sources. There is already research about bad effects on male sperm quality [1], DNA damage [2] and more. By the time we clean up this stuff (if ever) in our products and services humanity will already have large concentrations of plastics in them.

The Internet wasn't new in 1995, by one measure 26yo by then, by another 12yo. And the Internet was essential, critically so, by 1995. It was the WWW that was new, about 2 years old.

This 'expert blog' seems a bit one-sided, as it mentions Russia influence in Sudan 16 times but United States influence just once. E.g.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/why-is-sudans-genocidal-regime...

> "Today, new protests in Sudan are approaching a new boiling point, and Lyman’s story is history. But it suggests the still very relevant and largely untold story of the relationship between Sudan and the United States—ties largely based on the clout of the powerful intelligence services in both the Trump and Obama administrations."

> "This article is based in part on interviews and documents from 13 current and former American officials serving in the State Department, Pentagon, CIA, and other areas of the U.S. government."

A more balanced perspective would note that at present, Africa is viewed as a natural resource hotspot by all the world's major industrial countries, including China, America and Russia, while African countries are themselves struggling to climb up the value chain (i.e. it's better economically to develop industry yourself rather than to just export raw materials).

Sudan and China have deep economic ties in various fields, including agriculture, energy, and mining. Sudan’s exports to China in 2020 reached $766 million, accounting for 19% of its total exports and making China its second-largest trading partner."

Capacitor usually blows - they don't like operating really hot and heat removal inside those small form factors is a serious challenge. Also, many times, the whole power converter is encased in a semi-insulative rubber, so that just compounds the problem.
You do these proofs of concept to prove the problem exists. Until there is hard science it can be hard to spur action. I could say, ya know, I believe that if any of these so called microplastics (subtly doubting existence) they would not be absorbed by my body and will simply exit may waste chute (doubting the problem). Now you can say, ya know, akssssssssshuallly studies show that yadda yadda. And then I could say ya IN MICE! And then you could be like oh ya fucko and start forcefeeding me shredded up milk cartons until you dissect my brain a few hours later.

The USB HID protocol isn't encrypted. You can literally just add a pass through that logs (or transmits) the data.

You'd have to check your USB connectors for a small extra dongle every time you boot up with just what is consumer-available[1]. There's also this type of stuff that can be wired into a keyboard[2], obviously harder to detect but a bit more involved to install as well.

With a national R&D budget you can without a doubt do much better than both of these.

My argument is that it should be the only step that is fair for both sides, efficient to implement, collapses bureaucratic policy to single sentence, doesn't create "issue created here - must be solved somewhere else" problems, nourishes progress, gives true freedom to purchased item owners, preserves good capitalistic incentives and many more.

Sideloading will be full of complicated very important details sucking out live from all parties involved.

I think we all agree that it should not be possible to unintentionally click or autoload link that downloads some settings app that looks like ie. iOS settings app but is developed by some shady party that has access to ie. your biometric security primitives, can look like/impersonate any built-in app/OS behavior etc.
I suppose I should've said "persistent" indexes. There was also only a single type supported: hash table. And it was hard coded to 2 fields. You had to change the code (which was C) to change the database.

This system was rarely restarted, so in practice it didn't matter what it did at startup, as long as it didn't take more than a few minutes, but it did place some limitations on data size. (This was a 32-bit system and everything was memory mapped.)
