It is strange, that in the post-modern era there seems to be a desire to prevent harm by curbing freedom of choice. The ability to choose what constitutes right or wrong isn’t even on the table, because you may draw the wrong conclusion. There is an effort to dictate what media is disseminated and consumed, because some(or a lot) of it has been deemed potentially harmful.

The fact that even guys as influential as Spielberg and Tarantino are worried about having their past work censored is the most convincing reason I've seen to own your own data.

For movies it's as easy as obtaining DRM-free copies of the movies you care about, saving them to an SSD, and installing a copy of Plex.

Do that with the movies, music and books you love. They are a part of our cultural history. It's almost a guarantee that any copy you don't own and control will at some point in the future be revised. I want the real history not what the powers that be tell me it was.

It's virtually guaranteed that Amazon, Netflix et. al. will not store this stuff for you with integrity, it is built into the nature of the system.
Thanks, I guess I am underestimating the complexities of monorepos.
You will not get an interesting conversation on these topics on an American discussion board. These topics are a minefield.

Plenty of the things which are pushed unconditionally in the US right now should be debatable and debated. Some concepts like cultural appropriation look clearly dubious to my French self. The issue is that having a debate has become impossible. In some circles, you will be quartered for daring to express that there exists differences between men and women which might not be socially constructed.
> There are videos of Lula saying his plan is to literally implement socialism in Brazil. There are videos of him preaching ideas like having the government give everyone what they need to "survive".

That's literally the ideology of every social democratic party in Europe (and most center right as well). They are not communists, and neither is Lula.

BTW, I was not aware about this before. Why changing a gun?

Guns were pretty common in movies and rarely become a focus of sensitive topic, isn't it?
But a lot of that is actually good thing. The past stories were also told to fit a certain perspective. People were intentionally left out, acts of other people were intentionally left out, all that to conform to past ideologies.

There is a reason history ignored certain people, minorities or genders. And adding their point of view is a good thing.
The best bet against the true menace is to deploy public policies that reduces the true menace: the number of cars/drivers on the streets.

That's the most sound policy, provide the public with alternative means of transportation that are convenient and more environment-friendly, leave room on the streets for the ones that actually require a car for their transportation. If you leave in the middle of bumfuck nowhere and can't be served by public transportation, great, you probably need a car. If you drive your car in cities for trips of 5-10km because it's convenient then we, as a society, should find ways to disincentivise this usage.
I certainly considered the Netherlands… «maar ik kan een beetje maar Nederlands spreken» and I'm not even sure I'm supposed to use "maar" twice in that sentence or not.

(Sadly I don't even get to use the wonderful «Ik ben groot», because I'm only tall by non-Dutch standards).
But that's not a juice then.
It's plant solids dissolved/emulsified in water.

"Juice" would mean that the liquid itself came from the plant.
TL;DR: No

Some physics: raising 1kg of water by 1k takes 4184 J. Evaporating 1kg of water takes 2260 kJ. Notice the k in kJ. That's 500x better.

Regulation has changed, and you can no longer cool down a react by heating river water. You can't raise it more than 4 degrees anymore. And that's taking down about 1% of the reactor's operating time, at a time of the year there's no hard need for energy anyway.

Now, you just change the cooling system. That's a fairly simple, non-risky modification, though a bit costly. And you get more than 100x bang for the buck. For like a drop in the river's capacity that would have evaporated anyway elsewhere (and goes up in the atmosphere to rain down at a much needed time in the summer). But it's gonna be an eyesore, which might have been why they didn't build them like that originally.
Because haptics "like in phones" suck. They are nothing but vibration motors. There have been a lot of research of patents for more interesting interaction, but what we have now is arguable worse than what we had in a Nokia 3310 (because of the lower mass of the motors). The feedback is like if the entire screen was a single button.

Haptic tech I have seen are ways to vary the drag coefficient across the screen, tiny actuators that deform the screen, or use of interference to create vibration on a specific location. There is even touchless haptics, using ultrasound.

The only instance where a manufacturer seemed to care was with the iPhone 6 "Taptic Engine", which is little more than a better vibration motor, giving a better "whole screen button" effect. But they didn't improve further, in fact, if anything, the newer models are worse.
> You are literally driving your hardware above and beyond official, published specifications.

That is not the case if we talk RAM. It is sold as 6000MHz, it is tested as 6000MHz and it is validated to run at 6000MHz. And there is a standard each developed by both Intel and AMD to allow RAM to ran at it's rated speed.
It isn't just marketing. The problem is, that this standard entails going out of spec on the CPU side, where it does mean going beyond validated limits. But the consumer shouldn't have to dig to understand, that these standard designed to make your RAM run at it's rated speed technically means pushing limits.

Why "gas" cars? Why not electric cars? The electricity comes from somewhere, eg: coal, natural gas. Even with solar there are enormous environmental impacts from the manufacture and distribution of solar panels, batteries, etc.
History (and art) have always been rewritten in light of the morality of those with power. Case in point: the Bible. The current culture wars are just a modern version of that.
The “you can’t call it milk” argument was funny when the alternative being offered was “nut juice”, but it’s a dumb hill to die on as a serious proposition. I’m a barista and these alternatives resemble milk, they behave very similarly to milk, etc. In my opinion the substitution is good enough that they can claim the name of milk; the major difference is in nutrition value and taste. (Some intuition pumps for my point of view: “which category does it fit in - milk, juice, water, or soda?” and “which tastes more like milk - oat milk, or non-fat chocolate milk?”)
I have to find these! Never heard of them but definitely want to try!
>Trends in Japan and projections for a few other places ignore the numbers for China and India with over 1.5 billion

No, they don't: the birthrates of Japan and China are actually very similar. (India is different.) China is of course much larger, but it's a geographically larger country anyway, and always has been. It's facing the same demographic problems, if not worse.

>Why can't we just produce something of quality that will last and provide it to a stable market? Greed and insanity.

Are you talking about frying pans, or computers? Do you really want to be stuck with a high-quality computer from 1975? Or a television from the same era? Modern electronics use far less energy than stuff from a few decades ago. With clothing, you have a good point though, but here again, who wants to dress like it's 1975?
So anti-racist you add racially segregated spaces. But in opposite directions.
This is mostly due to the last console generation getting dragged out for so long. The PS4 came out in 2013, but thanks to a small intermediate upgrade and extended supply chain issues for the follow-up generation, by late 2022 you still had absolute high end games being made with decade old hardware in mind.
Can anyone explain to me how a decentralised authentication system like this would be more efficient than just using conventional/centralised methods?
The highest culinary praise reserved for the finest of treats is famously "Kannste essn", lit. "you can eat that".
In general yes, particularly vandalising the paintings is criminal.

The thing with movies though is you can have multiple versions just fine. So while I have no interest in ‘updated’ versions it’s not necessarily as visceral an issue. The problem is more with the social pressure and lack of availability of original cuts.
> They're also told that farming cattle is inhumane.

The way you formulate this statement makes it sound like there is some controversy or room for interpretation here.

Put yourself in the position of a typical milk producing cow. Imagine giving birth to a child that's taken away from you and you never see him/her again (usually to be instantly slaughtered). All just so you start lactating and the milk can be extracted from you.

I still drink mill and eat cheese, but it's pretty damn gruesome if you put any thought into it.
This absolutely boggles my mind. I had to do some javascript recently, and every time I had what I thought was a very basic question the most upvoted answer was "just npm install this library, and use this one-liner". I honestly never experienced this before with any other language, it's horrifying.
They follow what governments want in a merger of state and corporate power.
There is nothing new about this. If anything, you have much more choice then you used to have in the past. In the past, when the artist got "cancelled" because of politics or gender or race, that was complete and absolute game over.

The amount of stuff that was seen as acceptable was much lower.

That one. It's the only Bundesland commonly referred to by an acronym and I guess we are lucky that the English toponym still matches.

The other three-letter candidate (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) is more commonly just shortened to Mecklenburg which isn't an option for NRW because the non-Westphalia part is the more important by far but "north-Rhine" wouldn't really work as a standalone name.

Acronyms for our various Saxonies would be rather awkward because both prefix-Saxonies would collide
prominently with an acronym already taken by nazism.

The real word, especially on the level of societies, culture and morals (wich are, after all, products of the human mind, an extremely complex system), is under no obligation to be simple and logical.
I'll be honest, I don't really see the complaint here.

The telemetry goes to telemetry.dropbox.com. You get this telemetry because you have installed the Dropbox desktop app, which means Dropbox already has lots of access to your machine. If this telemetry just went back mixed with normal Dropbox communications (like most apps), would people even be aware of it?

There doesn't seem to be any discussion of what the telemetry actually is, just annoyance it exists.

The universities in Lithuania are incompetent when it comes to IT. I graduated from Vilnius University and they also were Microsoft shills that don't know anything better.
In many states you can absolutely use your phone while driving, either to call someone or actively use gps without a window mount.

Isn't that a problem of the respective companies taking too big of a cut, rather than method itself ?
What I think is that you know just enough history to be able to loosely connect the word "socialism" with Bad Things (common ones being that both NSDAP and USSR had "socialist" in their name, or that Venezuela is "socialist") and you're incurious enough ("I know, I just don't care") to not bother understanding whether that's true, how any of those Bad Things actually came to be, whether that was due to anything related to "socialism" or even what that word actually means.

Doesn't bother me either way, but if you consider yourself a smart or informed person then you're doing yourself a disservice by not actually understanding any of this.
Unkind words shouldn't be a crime in and of themselves - that includes slurs.

It makes sense to criminalize stated threats of violence or persistent targeted harassment, but generally free societies should err on the side of not criminalizing speech if possible.
> You'd think the company holding the patents has little incentives to push the tech forward at a faster pace, given the slow advances seen in the last decade and a half.

I don't have any relationship with Dropbox, but we should be precise that this information might be outdated.
That doesn’t prove a video is real, only that the person claims it is. The point seems to be be that the one watching could verify by themselves.
All these declarations that the modern Attention Span is dead are solidly refuted by the popularity of the Long Movie, by multi hour podcasts, and by the binge watching phenomenon made possible by OTT on demand services which allow a 'movie' to extend 12 or 13 hours consumed in two or three sittings by a generation blamed for a collective attention deficit disorder. Ars Longa Vita Brevis.

Maybe it’s time to cancel Steven Spielberg and boycott his films. Such tone-deaf views may have been acceptable decades ago but now he is on the wrong side of history, which is the side that needs to be rewritten. /s
> EXPO II turned on, memory frequency 6000 MHz (what is says on the memory), and CPU frequence stays where it was (thus not overclocked).

It's a technology to overclock memory controller on CPU, not CPU cores themselves. Increase of voltage of memory also needs to be applied to the controller, hence where the problem in article comes from.

But yeah, I can see someone arguing that in court and winning, with AMD only warning about warranty loss in footnotes and mobo vendors not presenting it as such either.
Y‘all overthinking this. As I have written somewhere below:

Words usually have multiple meanings, common ones and less common ones. "False friend" words usually swapped their common and rare semantics when entering a different language. In this case, the common meaning for "spontaneously" is "without direction" but not "on short notice". But it's the other way around in German. There actually is the German term "spontane Ordnung" ("order from chaos") using the English connotation in this case.
sarcasm sure,

but I don't think anyone does read Orwell and is like "oh that's a good tool of manipulation"

because they have many more ways to find the same tools but in a context where it's packed into a "this is for (the grater,your,your peoples) good" package instead of a "this is a dystopia" package
They can and they have blocked it.

There's a law for the internet in Brazil, called Marco Civil, which literally states that ISPs can be blocked and forbidden from providing services if they don't comply with takedown requests issued by the authorities.

They were blocked quite a few times in the past 4-5 years. If I remember correctly there was a time that it was blocked for up to 2 days because they were deciding if they should pay the fine and hand over the data, or remain blocked.

I totally disagree with these rulings in favor of blocking social media apps (even though it could do us good by banning or difficulting disinformation from reaching people), but you do realize that Telegram is not the app it used to be or should be anymore, right? Pavel Durov, its CEO, is an absolute weirdo that tries to play god because he owns huge social media platforms, one of them being VK, which is heavily monitored by the Russian government.

So, if you think you are safe using Telegram, think again.
Works very well indeed. The only thing I miss is the ability to easily create public links from the GUI.

TIL it is possible from the command line, so perhaps I can make it work with Automator.
Do people still use Dropbox? I feel like I almost never hear recommendations for it.

I personally abandoned Dropbox when they introduced a limit on the amount of devices you could use for free plans, and the cheapest plan was like 120€/year for 2 TB.

As others have said, the main problem is that 1) There is too much flexibility which means that "name" might be "firstname" or "first_name" somewhere, which is why you need so many different implementations and 2) It is very hard to distill the relevant parts from the spec which covers all parts with equal vigour!

We have the same issue with the UK Wiring Regulations, so they produced an "On Site Guide", which covers only the main parts of the main regulations and is about 10th the size. The same could be true of the OAuth spec.

To be fair, OpenId Connect partially addressed both issues by taking a subset of the spec (when used for authentication) and then nailed down what the properties should be and what encryption mechanisms are required to be implemented.
I wonder if the enlightened future-people will consider the institutional exclusion of asian people from higher education on the basis that there are too many others of the same race in colleges, to be pro-racism or anti-racism.

I rest my finger by the Esc key for some reason (vi use maybe) and every once in a while the screen would suddenly fade to black because it was registering a long key press on the Touch Bar[1] for the screen dim control. After a few times I realized I could customize the Touch Bar to only have a few necessary keys and keep them on the far right.

Just another case of inadvertent button activation for touch screens.

Yes it is about 'looking and pushing' the button.

And yes it's about stateful UI.

Please just use a forum. Discourse seems to be the good/popular one.
One thing I find weird is that on my Skoda the "infotainment" screen is fairly laggy - particularly when starting up. However, the "virtual cockpit" screen responds instantly - even though what it displays looks more complex than the infotainment screen.

Mind you the "virtual cockpit" isn't a touchscreen and button only (mostly on steering wheel).
The courts have their own dictionaries though, so it depends on which court in which case you're talking about. Here's a list of definitions for how the (US) courts define the word software.

Independent film-maker Kirby Ferguson has a series called "This is not a Conspiracy Theory" which goes into great detail the human biological need to find patterns and connections where they do not exist. Its a great watch, and I think remastered around the time of the Q movement. An insightful series.
And what exactly is that advice? Most programs are not game engines operating upon millions of entities with the same basic logic.

The usual application where GC is most relevant is connected to 10s of services over some network protocol, and often has to load each business object/entity it operates on into memory to check permissions, sometimes even issue another network call, etc. Loading that entity from a list of pointers is absolutely no bottleneck in such a setting, at all - the way you might speed up the app is doing the work on the database itself, which is already written in some low-level language, efficiently.

Your anecdote is just a badly written application, I have plenty examples of very performant ones written in managed languages.
Overvolting can do funny stuff to electronics. It could "just" go out of spec and start lying by some degrees.
