> People lose or get robbed of everything important all the time. There's a process for everything. I rather not worry and just live my life and deal with things as they come, not worrying so much.

You have a much rosier picture of things than I have. I have had to learn the hard way about some of these things, it sounds like you've been lucky so get to be happy-go-lucky. I hope you continue to have good luck in your life. Car titles are only easy to replace while you retain possession of the vehicle and are the recorded owner in the DMV database.

If someone steals the car + title (which happened to me once when I foolishly did what many people do and left the title in the glove box), they can easily re-register the vehicle to themselves and you have basically no recourse unless you can conclusively prove they forged your signature or fraudulently registered the vehicle. Once the successfully record the title change you are pretty screwed, as the saying goes "possession is 9/10s of the law", and it's sadly pretty true. You'd think reporting a car stolen to the police would block someone re-registering it, but that wasn't the case then. It was over 15 years ago, maybe things are better now as much vehicles are electronically titled, but I'd still recommend not losing it.

Maybe my viewpoint is simply a matter of age. Things are much more electronic now and paperwork is less important because there are electronic records. On the flip side, if the electronic records are wrong, sometimes paperwork is the only thing you have to prove that.
I never seen Norway model successfully replicated anywhere else. Maybe it requires something else as well, like… Norwegians?!

I'm sure it had nothing to do with mismanagement at the top allowing for a 36% slippage in revenue.
They gave up on the 88000 the same time Apple did (yes it was considered at Apple too) and is directly related the IBM/Apple PPC partnership and Apple’s insistence that Motorola being a second source for the PPC. It was really Motorola that gave up on the 88000 and not Next.
True, deals can sometimes be found but that's more work and worry when you should be relaxing on vacation. Combine that with the other drawbacks (dealing with pickup/return, worrying about scratches/damage, not able to have customizations like roof racks, going offroad or through mountains with crap rental tires, etc) and it's easy to see why renting is not more popular.
Different contexts require different paradigms. For example, you can't operate in a war if you require your soldiers to arrest everyone who is shooting at them and collect evidence for an eventual trial. You also can't operate as even a regional power (let alone a global superpower) without keeping tabs on your adversaries.

The difficulty is in structuring agencies that have to follow different paradigms and determining how they should interact. One key bifurcation is supposed to be that intelligence services face outward, dealing with people who don't have constitutional protection because they are not residents or citizens. That outward focus has gotten muddied by the focus on preventing domestic terror attacks, the reality that much of the internet's physical infrastructure exists within our borders, and the difficulty in automatically determining the nationality of online personas.
>Techies like to imagine that they are going to "defeat the government with tech" but they are wrong, the governments can have the tech because they have the money and the power to design the landscape.

IMO some of the most effective government propaganda is stuff that portrays government as inherently bumbling and clueless, unable to engage in effective repression due to sheer incompetence, and effortlessly bested by scrappy kids/activists/etc.

What jurisdiction can you purchase Facebook ads in that doesn't count that fact as Facebook having a presence?

If they allow you to buy ads, they're liable to follow the local countries laws, it's very simple.
I got into Minecraft a bit later, and when I purchased it, I got the Windows 10 Edition. I had to have a Microsoft account to play, so I was already set. Minecraft: Dungeons is a completely separate game, more of an isometric perspective. It looks fun, was just hoping that I didn't have to buy it myself until I had a PC to start playing on.
398. Had to come back here and read the comments because I literally didn't notice the little fellow in the favicon and wasn't sure what the game was! Once I figured it out, I felt exhilaration similar to what the parents did in Honey I Shrunk the Kids and the concern that I had to pay careful attention to something very, very small.

The whole reason that gender self-id laws were halted in the UK a few years back was because of a grassroots feminist movement resurging to oppose it. Mostly left-wing and socialist, and nothing to do with homophobia or anti-abortion at all.

> you have to expect a certain number of meme-obsessed Nazis to show up to your events

If this is some reference to the recent Let Women Speak event in Melbourne, the neo-Nazis absolutely did not show up to support the feminists. Quite the opposite, they were railing against the organiser for "promoting lesbianism". Not allies at all.
Where is the RSS feed on your site? I tried /feed and /RSS and .RSS none of which work. There is also no visible link that I was able to see.

Assuming I'm correct in my assumption that there is none, I find the lamenting the loss of "the structure that a personal website, can-to-can structure, an RSS feed, and a browser provide" (emphasis mine) deeply ironic.

And no, email newsletters are not a valid replacement, no matter how much you benefit from pushing them.

Maybe you should contribute to the internet you want to see?
This is a pretty fair criticism, thank you.

I did do my best on the re-drafts to try and ensure I was suggesting workarounds for the name recognition piece; but you're right that a lot of the points do boil down to "be very hireable".

It's also replicable. Enterprise SaaS entrepreneurship is virtually industrialized.

While I'd take the metrics they talk about with a big grain of salt (they heavily depend on the specific startup being evaluated), the round sizes are in the right ballpark. Our[0] actual round sizes were:

1. Pre-seed: $1M (led by System.One)

2. Seed: $4M (led by Boldstart)

3. Series A: $25M (led by Tiger Global)

Note that all of these were all raised in 2021 & 2022 before the investment market crash, but even now I regularly see[1] rounds of similar sizes.

If I remember correctly, they've stated they don't have plans to ever migrate from Java to Bedrock. They've been doing a lot of work to try to get parity between the two versions but they're architecturally very different.

I'd be surprised if they hung Java out to dry - it's definitely seen as the "definitive" version of Minecraft among most of the dedicated playerbase. Although, Bedrock definitely seems like it's their big money maker with how many microtransactions are in it.
It sound's a bit odd this is even notable.

This is the minimum standard for any new construction commercial/institutional building according to recent building codes in Ontario, and probably many other jurisdictions.

Maybe it's unusual for these building code standards to actually be enforced without special exemptions where the writer lives?
Definitely not the most natural approximation for the number of moons.

> If so, still, I would love to see reliable polling for his sustained support in any prominent, extant Ukrainian political movement.

You don't need polling because the glorification of Bandera is so blatant that you have to willingly look the other way to not see it.

Here are some videos of the torchlight processions performed to commemorate him every year in many cities of Ukraine including Kiev, Lviv, Lutsk, Dnipro, Kherson, Sloviansk, Zaporizhzhia and so on.

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHgcaag9R60

- bonus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDzfupUAE00

"On 1 January 2014, Bandera's 105th birthday was celebrated by a torchlight procession of 15,000 people in the centre of Kyiv and thousands more rallied near his statue in Lviv."[0]

In contrast in 2019 in Kiev the most partecipated Ukrainian gay pride ever took place, barely half the people showed up.

Anyway if you really want a poll, they did it and it shows that 74% of Ukrainians have a positive view of him[1]. Weird and convenient how this information is excluded from the english version of the WP Bandera page.

> Because from what I see, it remains a problematic pocket of the Ukrainian population, and one to a large degree under Russian occupation.

Quite the opposite. The western part of Ukraine has far more positive views of Bandera. See the map of cities where Bandera has receive onorary titles[2].

Mutations turn individual cells into parasites all the time; We call it "Cancer". With how many roles and profiles that our cells can adopt, I'm incredibly unsurprised that there's modes and forms that are purely parasitic,

I would imagine that in most large populations, there are a decent number of parasites. The simple answer is this - Everyone it a "parasite" sometimes. Everyone is sometimes sick, wounded, or simply unlucky and requiring help. It's a standard part of living. In brutal nature, the sick and injured simply die. In social species, though, the sick and injured are cared for, with other members of the group, tribe, society or species giving

It's of little surprise, then, that the genes and regulation that control "Where to signal for help" can become corrupted or overactive". In large, complex species, you'll see the groups carrying out a balancing act. Packs of dogs can both nurse members back to health and exile unproductive members. But at the larger by count scale, it's harder to rack the individual, so I'm not surprised that the systems break down somewhat more.

Datadog prices are insane. We're leaving them now at my work because they've gotten to be more expensive than our entire AWS bill.
My cousin lives in that village, I will need to ask about it. I lived very close by, let me ask it.
A design decision which needs to be made is at what level of abstraction should the data be "fixed", i.e. not to be manipulated with the full power of CL. This is often a flexibility vs. efficiency tradeoff.

In my 3D CL system [0], I have so far kept all geometric data as naive CLOS classes as the intent of the system is to provide a sandbox for experimentation. I have thought of, perhaps one day, representing the geometry as a foreign library for efficient passing to the GPU.

You should contact your state's insurance regulator. They're very powerful and generally get proper reactions from insurance companies.
We use it at work. We always define the exact fields we want, and can swap them for SerializerMethodFields if we need to do something different/funky. It works very well, imo.
> I tried contacting my credit card company, but FB uses a different vendor account for each bill posted, making it difficult for the credit card company to stop these transactions.

Another option might be to have the credit card company handle thing as if you had fraud on the card. Cancel the card, issue you an new number, and -- critically, you will have to specifically ask them to do this -- do not automatically update billers with an existing relationship with the new number/authorization for you.

Assuming this works correctly (it may not), FB will be unable to bill you for the ad spend. The downside of this is that they may send these debts to collections at some point, which could hurt your credit rating and be a problem for other reasons.

So this might be more of a last resort.
What you describe would be one of the "other reasons to comply" that I mentioned, where the EU can affect you and/or your business if you don't comply. Additional context was not provided so I made no assumptions.

An example: I don't have any legal obligation to the GDPR for my (hypothetical) US based blog as a US citizen, regardless of who visits it. But if I want to sell a t-shirt from the site, potentially to people in EU, failure to comply may result in the EU taking action to prevent me from doing business in the EU.
Steam DRM has not had its security measures updated since 2010. It's trivial to crack. Although, I agree that it should not exist.
I see that your website asks $9 + $10/month for the basics package.

I've never once had the need to write a demand letter, so if I ever need to, I'd expect to be a one time thing. I definitely won't need a monthly service.

How does that work in this case? Does it mean I'd pay $19 and then cancel the monthly service?
They're primarily exciting because they exist at a fringe of research and challenge prevailing biological dogma that specialized organs (specifically the animal kingdom's specialized organs, the nerves) are required for complex behaviors and intelligence. They are an extremely important research area for philosophy of mind and their study has only provided more and deeper mysteries.

Slime molds aren't ready-made solutions to practical problems. They're a signposted paradigm shift that indicates we need to re-evaluate some of our a prioris. Alongside advances in understanding complex behaviors in plants, slime molds represent one of the largest challenges to long-standing assumptions we've had for millenia. Unfortunately the response to recorded behaviors of adaptation, memory, learning, problem solving in things without neural structures has hilariously been to shift goal posts and underline said neural structures as a prerequisite to these things being meaningful. Silly things like "super computer slime" and pop science articles drown out the incredibly important experimental observations made about these beautiful organisms, this much I agree with.

No not really. If they uphold the old agreement under a new set of terms then it’s kind of like switching an already-drunk person from Ketel One to Bacardi Silver.
Not entirely correct, I'm afraid. Concentration camps were inaugurated by the Spanish and popularized by the British. Co-location of killing facilities and camps was not a common occurrence even in Germany, so there were many more concentration camps than death camps.

> But then the prosecution doesn't need the video because they would have all of these witness, so why should it be admissible if it can't be authenticated?

There's not a "prosecution." Did you read the article I linked? This is a civil lawsuit (which also means a different level of evidence required, ultimately) still in fairly early stages. The trial hasn't even started. "Judge Evette Pennypacker tentatively ordered a limited, three-hour deposition where Musk could be asked whether he actually made the statements on the recordings" - there's no ruling of fact yet about if the video is real, the Judge is just saying "this looks like a bullshit excuse to avoid having to talk about your past comments."

The plaintiff is trying to get Musk to give a deposition regarding his claims about self-driving. Musk is trying to not even have to give that testimony. This is exactly that "we need to figure out if this evidence is real or not" process that you say is needed! Musk is just trying to throw that out and say "nah we don't even need it, it could be fake, ya know." The judge seems to think that a 6+ year old video from a fairly well-known publication carries enough weight compared to a lazy "IDK, sometimes people deep fake me" statement to be worth asking Musk further questions. That seems reasonable to me.

> How do you propose to prove if he actually remembers or not?

Obviously that's impossible, but it's also irrelevant. If he says he doesn't remember, but you have a video with an uploaded-to-Youtube-timestamp from 2016, and contemporary coverage, then you say "well, since you don't remember for sure, we're gonna go with all the evidence that suggests you did say this."
You can take a look at the Python codebase for Sentry over here: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry
Okay, discriminators are randomly assigned unless one pays for nitro, that said they have account creation date on record, so they can do it in order no problem.

The issues are the order they have chosen is not that simple. They are giving verified bots first choice (some of these are questionable), then owners of partnered servers, then discord for business, then it is going by account age.

They have added a clarification to their blog post: "Current Nitro subscribers paying for the ability to customize their discriminator that registered for Nitro on or before March 1, 2023 will also be given early access." Yeah, when early access is in the list I do not know.
Sounds like a marketing ‘puff piece’ to me. Here, accept this ‘fact’ about red lights, unsubstantiated by any details or references as truth. And you’re going to like it because it supposedly is environmentally friendly. And because it ‘feels good’ you won’t ask any questions and repeat it to friends and family as if it were truth.
I bought the game in 2011 (iirc), I guess they could justify this with the "Other" section of the terms of use [1]:

No idea if this is enforceable in the US/EU.

Datadog is a pretty amazing product, and if you are careful and use it in the right way, it is very powerful, and cheaper than rolling your own LGTM Grafana stack (or similar). If you are not careful, or at a decent scale, you can easily spend obscene amounts of money. The metrics pricing is completely insane for example, and its easy for people to emit high cardinality metrics from apps and explode your bill. I think by this point you need to run an internal solution, and that is when it makes sense to double down on a combo of elastic, and grafanas stack for logging, tracing and metrics.
> All this took hours, while the kid impatiently nags "can we play, can we play, can we play"...!!

As a fellow minecraft Dad (who hasn't yet purchased Dungeons...looks cool but Create mod is the current addiction), pro tip - don't give a small child a gift you haven't confirmed is ready to go yet.

There are times when it's good to teach a kid patience, how to assemble and adjust the derailleur on a bicycle, or how to install software updates, or how to configure port forwarding for a server, or how to safely charge and maintain lipo batteries, or whatever...but the start of limited screen time on the weekend, or Christmas morning unwrapping presents, or their birthday party with everyone watching....that is not the time. It's definitely not the time to find out that the new gadget is dead-on-arrival and teach them about the RMA process.

Kids don't care if the shrink wrap is not intact or if it doesn't have that "new car" plasticizer smell, they just want to play with it. And if you can keep them from getting addicted to peeling off the clear membrane from a glossy new gadget, later they'll be more open to the possibility of more frugal used goods.
> It's disconcerting to be walking around Amsterdam, turn a corner, and there's a woman dancing in a rented box seeking customers.

Well, to be fair, it's not really widespread all around the city, it's not like you suddenly turn a corner and there is a surprise box right in front of you.
The intensity of a street light is vastly higher. They typically produce 10x-100x more foot-candles versus a full moon on a clear night at a bright latitude.

Even under ideal conditions, the earth receives ≤1 lumen per square meter of light from the moon. A single streetlight can project tens of thousands of lumens (or more) over a relatively small area.
"If you are seeing requests for that (specifically), then it's probably a bug."

This is what I can tell you for sure.

- it is not a bug

- once I determined the aforementioned, I thought about what it might want from me

- I chose to yield those resources in order (assuming the mechanism would be used to reduce requests)

- After a few refreshes, Chome Dev Tools shows the page and resources have loaded via HTTP/3

This was not the problem I sought out to solve. I'm trying to figure out exactly what's happening here.

"As for HTTP/3 itself, NGINX is probably providing that."

Agreed, NGINX is acting as a reverse proxy and passing requests through Gunicorn. However, before my change these requests were, in fact, HTTP/2.
Apple's IB used a constraint-based layout by default. It was a fairly novel idea at the time. HTML was ill-suited for that until flexbox/grid came along.
> guess once you tell someone about your health data then it's no longer health data protected by hipaa?

It is a bit more complex and involved than this, so a simple answer would be "it depends". However, no matter who it is that is disclosing your health data, they are in the clear to do so as long as you consented to that disclosure and the contract/agreement itself was legally in the clear.

For more caveats/rules around this, I suggest checking the official government page talking about it[0]. I found it to be pretty well-written for a layman person like me to understand.
