My gut feeling is Quest 3 will be more than good enough for most people/use cases, and people will be more than happy to pay 7x less for what is - at the end of the day - basically the same experience.

> in what way is an Indian entity paying their own engineers to use their own parts to fix their own aircraft “violating sanctions”

These products are subjext to reëxport controls—that’s what sanctions bite with. Air India transporting a controlled engine component into Russia violates those June 2022 sanctions. (It’s the same reason e.g. Germany can block the reëxport of its tanks, or Russia can tell India it’s not allowed to donate its new Su’s to the USAF.) It’s similar to if Air India starts importing American computer components and reëxporting them to North Korea; it would be blocked from accessing American and allied services. That’s the entire point of sanctions.

This is clearly-established law and precedent that is easily available from any competent attorney in India familiar with export/import of restricted goods.

I just had a question that I'm not sure we know enough to answer, but is it possible that terminal lucidity is the brain understanding that it's dying, and stopping the allocations that prevent trouble with the body, but cause conditions like dementia?

It made me wonder since the brain and body are constantly making adjustments when things go wrong, and one (possible?) cause of Alzheimer's is a buildup of plaque. Is it possible dementia is the lesser of two evils, with the other evil being death?
> I'd probably pick Linux on my primary PC nowadays if I didn't already have a Mac.

Just do it! I bought a Framework laptop and, because I forgot to buy an OS with it, decided "what the hell" and installed Ubuntu. I figured I could always install something else if it didn't work out. And it's actually been pretty good! In some ways better, in some ways worse than macOS (my main OS) and Windows (my gaming pc OS). It is actually quite nice to run the same OS as my server(s) on my laptop - it means I can use the same knowledge in two places.

I would put a slight caveat on that: it's caused by bad behavior being _perceived_ to be profitable. That doesn't mean it necessarily is. Nor that the bad actor necessarily has the tools (or desire) to evaluate the effectiveness of their behavior in realizing their greed.
And it's not clear it would be worth the retooling/training on the UI-side of things. The actor model is great for massive concurrency, which simply isn't a primary or even a secondary concern for 99.9% of client-side code. There's a reason why Go has such a huge following in the server space but a deafening silence of folks wanted it available in browser UI code.

The Rogers Test comes from Rogers v. Grimaldi, 875 F.2d 994 (2d Cir. 1989), which asked whether an Italian film named “Ginger and Fred” infringed a trademark of famous film stars Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire.

It's telling you use "copyright holder" and not "author". I wouldn't be against a law that forced them to slap a big "Edited without author's permission" label on such falsified books.

I also don't buy your implied argument that if we can't find a perfect legislative solution to a problem, we shouldn't complain about it in the first place.
A cursory look at a world history book proves that isn't the case.

In the J6 case they used a subpoena, yes. The OP article says that they're now going around the legal process by simply buying the data.

But my point is that the article implies that there's some uncertainty as to whether this data can be used to identify everyone present at a place and time, and there isn't. It has been done before.

I have a medical background and when the pandemic started I did a literature to see if masks had helped with other respiratory virus epidemics (as masking had been common for years in many Asian countries ). the results were decidedly unimpressive and I concluded masks might to something but it was not a big effect at a societal level. The mistake that many smart people without medical backgrounds make is assuming that if a measure "makes sense" from a basic science point of view, it must have a real effect in a patient or a society. Counter-intuitively this almost always turns out to be wrong.

I did a study of mask based on self reports early in the pandemic and I did show a significant slowing of the progress of the pandemic in states that had a high claimed rate of mask use. I had (I thought) some clever ways of eliminating other differences between states in my analysis and was surprised to see so much slowing. However, I am not sure which way the causality runs. I can easily see heavy masking making it such a bummer to go to bars (e.g.) that the lack of socialization caused the slowing.

But in summary, to your point, to the medically knowledgeable there was a lot of evidence before that masks would not do much (not nothing) and there is a lot more now that masks didn't do much

For the third point, what I've suggested in the past to push your artifacts into the region (since that's free) and then pull it down from S3. This lets you only incur S3 costs which tend to be cheaper then NAT data transfer costs (assuming you're using a VPC endpoint or equivalent).
Nope, not POOF. From what I can see, it didn't make it to CPAN because it was entirely in-house work (and/or was too horrible even for there.)
Patents already explain how things work. The problem is limiting other people's ability to do something that someone claimed as their own with basically no effort.

Since patent trolls already "hack" the system to essentially run a legalized protection racket, it only makes sense there should be some counter balance to their abuse. Fewer barriers to invalidate bad patents is such example.

And in this case, this new proposed rule is simply pushing the balance in patent abusers' favor, so it is corrupt because they are pushing it for their racketeering profits.

A better solution would be to prevent more bad patents in the first place (like forbid software patents for example) instead of making such kind of workarounds. But they aren't doing it either.
Fair, I should've been more careful with the way I worded that. The common example I was highlighting was concurrent network IO requests that effectively resolve to parallel work that runs on different nodes. With a service oriented architecture, this can be the norm rather than the exception.
I think you got the wrong impression from my comment. I’m not hand waving it at all, I’m highlighting how much of an issue it is in the US and how unlikely it is to change.

This is an issue I’m pretty passionate about and while I’ve put a lot of effort in locally to change this, I’ve come to realize it’s not something that’s gonna be fixed in my life time. This is why I intend to move to a place that already has good public transit and good walkability.

I would hope that the demise of gas powered cars would lead to a surge of focus on non-car transportation and improved city/suburban design, but I fear that car dependency will continue on as it seems most people in the US greatly prefer the idea of electric cars to anything else. It’s a shame, as I believe cars themselves to be problematic for a whole host of reasons and I feel our society is missing out on a good opportunity to transition away from them. I’ll keep fighting the fight, but there is only so much one can do.

> 44 bits of randomness might be feasible for a serious attacker, while maybe if it was 1000 times harder they'd give up

My back-of-the-napkin math[^1] says that, on an AMD Ryzen 7 1800X (released in 2017), brute-forcing 54 bits of entropy in AES-256-GCM takes an average of about 2.6 months. That’s on (pretty outdated) consumer hardware, not GPUs, specialized ASICs, or parallelizing across different machines. That’s considered outrageously insecure in the infosec world - anyone with a few thousand dollars to spare on cloud computing can crack.

> a fancy stretching algorithm won't make terrible passwords good

A properly tuned password-hashing algorithm like Argon2 should take about 1 second per hash, and can be configured to eat as many cores and memory as you expect the attacker to have/you feel like dedicating to hashing. Let’s assume you dedicate 2 cores to each hash (a relatively conservative value) - that same 54 bits of entropy now takes an average of 71 million years to crack[^2]. You’d literally be better off trying to brute-force the full AES-256 key space, after the key derivation step (which is the whole point of Argon2 and similar algorithms).

Dangerous advice like you’ve just spouted is against every single password hashing guideline out there - please trust the cryptographic community, they do in fact know what they’re doing when designing algorithms (or at least they know better than you).

[^1]: 2642 MBps per core (https://calomel.org/aesni_ssl_performance.html) = 165 million 128-bit blocks per second per core = 1.32 billion 128-bit blocks per second -> 6.82 million seconds to try 2^53 combinations (50% chance of success) = roughly 2.6 months

[^2]: 1 hash per second per 2 cores = 4 hashes per second -> 2.25e15 seconds to try 2^53 combinations = 71 million years

I'm aware of the distinction. I guess I wasn't clear in my original comment because this keeps coming up: My point is merely that there is absolutely no doubt that once acquired, the data gives the government this capability. The article implies that this is uncertain, and it is not.

> Your outrage is misplaced until such time when the government can buy this data from Google without a search warrant.

Whatever outrage you read into my comments, I assure you it's not there. If you're looking for a fight, look elsewhere.

Also, the OP article is about the government doing exactly that. So if I was outraged, it would be well placed, according to you.

I started posting my art online 20 years ago with DeviantArt and my original blogging efforts, but it was predicated on the fact that I had an art practice for my own edification, so the online part just became an adjunct aspect. I was "gonna art" regardless, so why not syndicate what that is, regardless of what it generates.

Keeping that attitude has been healthy in terms of what I produce, but I do find that I would prefer to be using a service that allows for some actual community elements, which DevArt has allowed to go fallow, and other sites never quite had (e.g. Society6) but at least have good artist services (e.g. prints)

That's effectively what the patent system already does. The "sum of money" you refer to is the market value of the monopoly on the idea embodied in the patent. This solves the problem of what the price should be.

We’re looking the other way. India is more important as a regional relation than global player, and the degree to which it’s practically enabling Moscow is minimal. India has its own interest in not becoming a Chinese vassal, something Russia is rapidly devolving into. Any military planner in India worth their salt is keenly aware that in a conflict between New Delhi and Beijing, one would have the leverage in Moscow.

But it's the advertising that drives all of the stuff you do hate.

When a business is ad-driven, human attention is the raw crude that it harvests to turn into a product (ad impressions) that it then generates revenue from. The more attention it can siphon up, the more ad impressions it can deliver and the more money the business makes.

Does your coffee maker chime every twenty minutes to helpfully suggest you might want another coffee? No, of course not. Because the people who made that coffee maker already got as much money from you as they're gonna get when you bought it. As long as you're happy enough with it to not switch to the competition, they don't care how much you use it. They get no additional revenue from your additional use.

With ad-driven businesses, every user is a potentially inexhaustible source of future attention, which is what drives all of these toxic user experience choices.
This entire "greedflation" saga is a bit surprising to me.

That economic scholars are pushing hard against "greedflation" and for the idea that the main driver of inflation is greedy laborers and their excessive wage demands, is as expected.

Until very recently these were the only kind of scholars allowed airtime about this topic and their explanations to laymen seemed to hinge on very naive ideas about the level of competition in various markets.

What happened to make the "greedflation" story more palatable? Surely it must be something other than just disproving these seemingly ridiculous and ideologically driven ideas about the level of competition?
This is a good illustration of how unintuitive heliocentrism really was, specially before we had a theory of gravity: it really made more sense to assume that the heavens were populated by ethereal bodies floating around a heavy, immobile Earth.

I wasn't part of the death of Digg, no. I don't really partake in social media much, so I was merely a witness to it as I noticed the noise coming down the grapevine via avenues like Slashdot.

You also kind of backed up my point; Reddit is way above critical mass right now and unlike with Digg that mass doesn't seem to be moving out anywhere. If these strikes and demonstrations want to make a difference the actions taken need to be far more drastic.

Real world worker strikes have a potential to work because the workers are willing to put their employment on the line, an ultimatum. What's happening on Reddit right now isn't an ultimatum; users aren't putting their Redditing on the line. Two days to a few weeks of privatisation is something Reddit can weather just fine, even moreso if the subreddit itself is still readable as in the case of some.
It appears to be a group of people who are more willing to believe in transdimensional travel being responsible for changes in their life than things happening as a result of their outlook, luck, or their own agency.
iOS shines when you create something, for while someone has already created software to create.

Desktop shines when you create something novel.

It's as simple as that -- there are tons of things people have created really polished iOS "happy path" software to create on, but they're not general purpose creators.

Specifically because anything general purpose threatens Apple's App Store toll gate, and thus cannot be allowed to exist.
This is taking some liberties with "installed." Java was never meaningfully installed on all machines. Such that getting it to work was surprisingly difficult for most users. You could maybe argue that Flash was well entrenched, but I don't think that would get too many objections. Indeed, many early Flash sites were better at interactivity than many modern sites.

VBScript, I'm almost willing to cede. That said, I don't remember it ever being a thing that websites tried to use. Even back in the days of them ripping off Sun with JScript. I'm also curious when they had 90% of the browsers with it? Would love to see a solid timeline on that.

Note, too, that I never pushed that JavaScript is bad on this. Indeed, I agree with you that it is nowhere near as bad as is often stated. What it lacks, is discipline. Which is why it seems to have near every paradigm accounted for nowadays.

That said, /if/ Google teamed up with Apple and got that pushed on all devices for native, I suspect you would see it leak into the browsers in that 2 years and that we would indeed start seeing more Swift developers at large. And a ton of "reasons you should migrate to Swift" for your websites.
