Buy 160 acres in the middle of nowhere in a geologically stable region with temperate climate and arable soil, or at least soil than can be amended into arability. Purchase enough Nickel-Iron batteries, monocrystalline PV modules, kilned lumber, machine shop tools, tractors, tractor attachments, road vehicles, replacement parts, fertilizer, fencing wire, rifles, ammunition, low-power SBCs, cameras, networking gear, communications equipment, diesel fuel, medical supplies, heirloom seeds, canning jars, freeze dryers, food storage, chest freezers, replacement parts for said freezers, tooling, etc, to last me and my family 100 years.

Then get the hell away from civilization and never speak to another human being other than my family ever again.

But one issue with your question is that you forgot we are human. "Financially free" doesn't exist in our monkey brains. Whenever we achieve X, we strive for X+1. The hedonic treadmill never stops. NO human is able to answer this question honestly.

It's not a mistake unique to Azure, Alibaba had a vulnerability make the news rounds recently where container escapes led to cross tenant access.

There's two types of cloud providers, the ones who take security seriously and the ones who learn security the hard, public way.

I'm a bit surprised that Azure would get lumped in with the other cut-rate providers but that's becoming more and more obvious with the vulnerabilities of the past few years.
This very much! I wasted so much time trying to "memorize" the fretboard. It comes naturally by practicing music. Almost all of it began from knowing just the low E string and applying first octave patterns, then other intervals as I understood what they were. Without musical context, it's not really all that useful to know how to instantly name a note on a fret. Maybe finding octaves quickly, given a starting note, could be useful in the time-based game realm.
Which just paints an even bigger target on it.

When it was on its own website and hosted on its own servers, with mostly word of mouth (online) spreading it, Nintendo were probably not too happy, but accepting that it was legal.

But when Valve, who are sort of competing with Nintendo, host it and promote, that's another matter. Especially when many people do play games using it that they have not legally obtained.
Good. But call it the Stallion instead.
Build your application to run on a few boxes with a slow (say 5 second) failover. They can have a single power supply running somewhere in the back of an office. If the power goes, oh well - one of the other nodes will carry on.

Of course you’re right a VPC or a CoLo would be better. However that’s not what most people think of “cloud”
There's a huge difference between blocking traffic to keep your servers online (you are the good guy) and returning payloads that are intended to break consuming services (you are the bad guy, performing a premeditated malicious act on unsuspecting devices, across state lines)

I doubt it's all that unprecedented - the fossil fuel / finance lobby has been attacking basic climate science for decades, even though their own scientists knew about it by 1980:

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/exxon-knew-about-...

As the evidence has piled up and the model projections have been proven accurate, their ability to recruit third-party promoters of climate denialism in public has steadily fallen, so they've turned to using social media puppet accounts to orchestrate denialism campaigns. Regardless, the results of the uncontrolled experiment humans are playing with the atmosphere by dumping billions of tons of fossil carbon into it are pretty clear, and model projections from decades ago are tracking current reality fairly closely:

As far as I understand, Kotlin doesn't actually have first class blocks like Ruby, despite the appearance that it does. Instead, blocks are syntactic sugar for anonymous functions, so

y = foo() {
bar(it)
}

is just pretty syntax for

y = foo({ it -> bar(it) })
Why would that be more reliable than TURN? If your router "forgets" about established streams half-way, your VPN will not stay connected either.
The earth naturally sequesters carbon on its own, we are simply vastly outpacing that process. So no we don’t need artificial carbon sequestration to hit even preindustrial levels again.

Carbon sequestration is unfortunately more of a scam than a practical process. Without actual discouraging the burning of fossil fuels people aren’t going to simply stop on their own and if we can’t even get that far nobody is willing to pay for any kind of meaningful rather than token carbon sequestration.
Good point. But still room for improvement on other end imho. Only way to succeed in some of these spaces is rapid growth at loss via massive venture funding. Doesn’t seem healthy.

Having a familiarity with linux isn't a bad idea, it introduces them to the command line.

This may be an essential skill to have in this era of automation with LLMs. People who have never programmed before are writing cli scripts to save time and enhance their work.

Ubuntu is easier for beginners to program with, and Windows has WSL so the skills can transfer over.
> that dismisses people's concerns.

What are those concerns? That most airlines spray chemicals that keep rain from falling on Spain? There's no reason to believe that's true. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemtrail_conspiracy_theory .

Or concerns that governments aren't doing enough to prevent increased global warming?

Or concerns that there's a conspiracy to promote the false story about global warming?

Or concerns that the government hasn't prepared for events like this, and has no effective response in place?

And how do those concerns justify threatening meterologists?
Conspiracy of meteorologists suppported by the government to scare workers by the weather… do you seriously consider this a possibility? How about Ockham’s razor and much simpler explanation that the weather is actually changing?

It depends on whether your company provides an efficient way to submit information about payloads and outcomes. For example, if you can submit in a simple, high-level structure that's independent of the language used by the test engine, e.g.,

Payload: EICAR Anti-Virus Test File

Endpoint: POST /new-customer

Outcome: server file \Quarantine\customer.db exists and \Data\customer.db does not exist

Expected: server file \Data\customer.db exists and \Quarantine\customer.db does not exist

then it's probably worth the effort of a QA engineer to submit that. However, if you spend only 10% of your time on a project where integration tests must be written in JavaScript and committed to a repo, and there's no way to commit until the new piece of integration test code fully complies with the Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide, then it's probably not worth the effort of a QA engineer. The tests should be committed by someone who works with the nuances of the testing framework every day.

This seems to be a good article on the benefits and limits of cross-reactivity: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3352416/

And here seems to be a decent review looking at Antibody-Dependent Enhancement, a key limitation of antibody cross-reactivity for viruses: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016158902...

Basically getting infected by some things can help provide protection against some other things, can make infection by some other things worse, or can have no effect on protection against other things. All in all it's generally better to not get infected by a particular thing, but if you're going to be exposed to worse things that infection by the particular thing provides protection against this is an exception.

A book chapter on infections causing, or curing autoimmune diseases: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK459437/

And a review article on the same: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6723519/

> Available data indicate that viral-induced autoimmunity can be activated through multiple mechanisms including molecular mimicry, epitope spreading, bystander activation, and immortalization of infected B cells. Contrarily, the protective effects can be achieved via regulatory immune responses which lead to the suppression of autoimmune phenomena.

I hope it is far in the future but you are probably correct that losing reserve currency status may occur much faster than the pundits say it will. I worry that weaponizing the dollar with excessive sanctions will hurry this process, with not much real value to US citizens.

Sure... erasure energy is lower when it's hot... But there are lots of other downsides, like a much reduced endurance, and more noise in sense amplifiers meaning there is a higher chance of needing to repeat read operations.
While it's true that Google partnered with Sonos and then copied the features they saw Sonos having success with I'm not aware of any allegations they used internal Sonos documents.

IMO the killer app for AR is just working as an effective "personal display". Interactivity is a red herring. The Nreal Air is almost good enough already–it's not too conspicuous and great for watching movies on a big screen on airplanes, in small apartments, etc.

I think if Apple made a sleek headset or glasses to stream the display from Macs, iPhones, etc., with best-in-class display quality and tight ecosystem integration, they would make a killing–even if serving as a big "personal display" was all it could do.

To me the analogy is Airpods. Right now the tech isn't quite there, but I bet in 5-10 years, a huge percentage of people will have AR glasses they use as a personal display to watch content. Just like Airpods, people will complain that it's too expensive, the quality isn't as good, it's too inconvenient, etc–and then watch as millions adopt it anyway.

Both Linode and AWS either migrated off Xen or are in the process of it. Qubes (last I checked) wants to move to a VMM independent design.

You can build a very minimal host image based on Alpine or something similar to reduce the surface. I'm not sure how this compares to Xen these days though.

It would take around £12k a year to offset my carbon footprint in the UK, where it is below average. That's a significant part of my take-home salary.

I could spend maybe £1-2k a year, especially given the futility of this (I would be one of the 0.00...01% of people doing this, large industries will continue to increase pollution, there is no political will for meaningful measures to reduce emissions). There really isn't a lot of value in this. I'd rather invest in a green energy company, or even just pay the bills of a large energy producer decarbonising (replacing a pollution-heavy power plant with something near carbon zero).

Can some company do this carbon filtering at the source more cost-effectively (potentially at no cost to the source/industry/plant producing CO2 now)? I'd rather buy carbon offset from them and pay for that operation. I think they could sequester 10T a year for far below £10k.
Mozilla laid off ~25% of their workforce, the Servo team was mostly (maybe even all?) fired in that layoff.

In the end, I think Servo is better served by being in the Linux Foundation rather than under Mozilla, as Mozilla seems to stray further and further from the path they were walking a decade ago, sadly.

> Yes, there are lots of people on the tech scene that just don't get ideas like "don't abuse it", or "considering the consequences for other people"

It's not abuse if you say it's free and unlimited and someone uses it freely and unlimitedly! This is why sites have acceptable use policies and terms of service. This is why most sites don't say their tool is free and unlimited.

It is what those words mean. It is literal. If I read an acceptable use policy and then went on to use it in a way that is not allowed that would be silly.

I think this depends on what the definition of fine and problems is. IMO most don't even notice when their drive throttles due to thermals so it's probably fine that the drives get hot. At the same time, as newer drives keep drawing more and more power, this is going to start to push the limits of "well why did I buy the fast drive in the first place" if they didn't come with these ever increasing cooling solutions as well.

I worked with SGI workstations at UCSD around 2005-2007 where the School of Medicine had some Indigo2, Onyx, and Indys[1]. They ran a custom OpenGL software called Anatomic VisualizeR© that displayed full 3d models of a human body, scanned slice-by-slice [2].

I probably would split my waking hours in a couple of different ways...in no particular order:

* donate my time as a technologist to help non-profits that i believe in...By this i mean, help them manage websites, build apps, better leverage open source technology to their advantage...and ideally help them bridge the digital divide. This would help keep my mind active with what i have loved to do: technology, building digital things, and combining that with helping people.

* spend my time in an artistic way, like welding a big metal garden sculpture, or building wooden structures to be used for hanging vines/plants for my life partner, or simply writing, painting, etc. This would help me in a more zen way. Sure it helps me use my hands to physically build things, but also tap into areas of my brain that my tech career has not always allowed me to do...you know, satisfying some internal itch that isn't necessarily tech-related.

* travel a little, and including establishing a couple of very tiny apartments in a couple of places in the world...so that I can live in places where i didn't grow up in. Also, when i die, my offspring will have places to live throughout a small number of my favorite places in the world (and no, these places are not the typical places like some Caribbean beach/island, etc.). Travelling is often fun, but here i would try to get to live in these other places in the world...sort of see the world (and not only in the limited way like vacations) before i die.

You mentioned low income countries. This could be infected devices running ancient unpatched OSes, but what if the traffic is legit, coming from impoverished countries who found your service and use it to teach their children and learn things they'd otherwise not have access to?

Personally I would deep dive the traffic and try to determine the intent behind it, you could be destroying a future generation's potential, and not blocking malware I'm assuming you can correlate the requests from those ips with that they are translating. Odds are someone is hitting your service to translate for their paid service, but if it's an important part of a poor country, I'd find a way to allow it to keep happening

> AFAIK we couldn't see translation requests from them, just loading our website.

>>Finland is part of the EU and has a national strategy. While migration is easier between member countries, it isn’t unrestricted. You have to live in an EU country for some time before qualifying for welfare there, which means poor people can’t easily shop for the best social welfare. Finland doesn’t put its homeless in institutions, just in semi assisted living situations.

you have completely missed the Point, Finland is comparable to the single state of California, in fact Finland by most measurements is smaller both in economics and population than California.

California has a State wide (in this analogy would be a "national" Strategy)

The US is comparable to the entire EU, so it would be a "union wide" strategy not a "national" strategy.

Each State in the US, in this analogy would be a "nation" in the EU.

Critically here as well, most states do not have any kind of time limit on welfare, and I am not sure if it would be legal to do so in the US.

>>Homelessness is definitely a national problem.

Homelessness is a State Problem.

>Expecting the west coast cities to shoulder the nation’s homelessness burden is not just ludicrous, it is ultimately futile.

yet we expect Boarder stated to shoulder the nations burden for unregulated boarder? Any attempts by those states to move that population is viewed negatively, and any attempt to stop that migration is likewise negative.

“You know what Pasteur said: ‘Chance favors the prepared mind.’ Take one of the chanciest things in the world, like war.

was prepared to take advantage of chance.“ - Eric Hoffer
I understand the challenge of funding open-source projects, but it seems like a bad idea to turn down a high-quality contribution because you cannot agree with RPi on a fee schedule.

As one of the comments on GitHub suggests, why not accept the PR and let the community maintain it? Otherwise it feels like this is not an open-source project -- just source-available.
