> Is Uk law any better? My impression is the UK has terrible privacy laws atm.

You're quite right on this.

> And The Telegraph is notoriously antiEU and I wouldn’t trust them to report on a bagel in Brussels accurately

Again you're right, but what does this have to do with the article we're discussing? It comes from The Times, not The Telegraph. They aren't notoriously anti-EU at all, and they even endorsed Remain in the Brexit referendum back in 2016. The Times did just appoint a pro-Brexit person as editor in 2022, but they their history isn't dominated by any particular political viewpoint other than supporting the establishment. Even with the new editor, their staff still spans a variety of political positions across the establishment in both major UK political parties.
I agree with you but I also realise it’s very hard to imagine what a proper tempest on the sea feels like if you are never experienced it on a ship. It’s an experience which is so far removed from a modern person traditional experience - a sunny summer day at the beach - that they just can’t grasp it.
It’s really all opinion. I would say the system here is unjust. (Life’s not fair.)I wouldn’t say that the relationship-hires are morally wrong (if the person hired is qualified).

I'd say that refusing to do further business counts as a retaliatory restriction against the recipients' exercise of their rights. In general the law finds against retaliatory business practices.

You have to remember things in math. You don’t have to memorize by rote. I’m very close to finishing a degree in pure and computational math and I’ve never sat down to consciously memorize anything. I don’t really study much for exams either. I just work on the assignments and then show up and do my best for the exams. My grades are pretty much average but they’re not a priority for me.

For me, memorizing math means just working on problems until the theorems and definitions are like muscle memory. I know other people get by on flash cards but I can’t stand them.

Heck, I just wrote a midterm in network flow theory today and they gave us a sheet with all the theorems and definitions in the course up to this point. Needless to say, memorizing that sheet wouldn’t help you at all on the proofs. You have to actually practice writing proofs to get good at it.
> The goal is to do it once

There is an universal interface, it is called "system call". Rather than build unnecessary layer on top of it, improve the syscalls if you don't like them, and get rid of ioctls, /proc, /sys and other pseudo-syscall abstractions.
There wasn't really a discrepancy in response though, and if you are lost at sea and have nothing to hang onto...you aren't going to last long. I saw someone ask why the US didn't send ships to look for migrants, well...that's a 10-day ride across the Atlantic & Mediterranean. Even surrounding countries were sometimes hours away.

The average human can't tread that long without a life jacket, the average is ~2-3 hours and that's in still water (to be a lifeguard you have to last 30 minutes), not a choppy ocean/sea. By the time any country other than Italy or Greece came to the location, they'd already be dead. It's tragic, but there is no discrepancy. If there were a chance of actual survival for days, there would have been a much larger response.

Also, apparently the Greeks offered aid before the boat even sank and the boat declined because they didn't want to go to Greece, they wanted to go to Italy. There are mixed reports on that though as now some are blaming the Greek coast guard for tipping the boat over by accident.

If you want something to be upset about, be upset about practically every country on Earth's broken immigration systems that cause these tragic events.

There were a lot of issues with the design, which I found helpfully explained in this video. [1]
A major concern was intentionally hiring fresh college graduate engineers without keeping older submarine veterans on staff as well. There were some good questions raised about their breathing system. Were they just continually releasing oxygen in to the cabin to compensate for CO2, thus leading to a potentially high oxygen environment where a fire would be a major issue? Did they have isolated breathing equipment in case of a fire? After a previous dive it was noted that the vehicle was hard to visually locate even after surfacing, but it did not have a position beacon onboard, nor was it painted orange to make it easier to see. Why did they fail to include these suggested measures?

I think there was a fair bit of other concerns. I thought this video was informative and the kind of thing the HN crowd would appreciate, so take a look.

Not trying to start any debate here with Shakespeare fans, just intend this as a supportive word for those of us who just don’t enjoy Shakespeare

- Voltaire declared Hamlet a ‘vulgar and barbarous play’ and that ‘one would take this work to be the fruit of the inspiration of a drunken savage’

- George Bernard Shaw: ’. “There is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I despise so entirely as I despise Shakespeare,” he said. “It would be positively a relief to me to dig him up and throw stones at him.”

- Tolstoy: “I remember the astonishment I felt when I first read Shakespeare. I expected to receive a powerful esthetic pleasure, but having read, one after the other, works regarded as his best: “King Lear,” “Romeo and Juliet,” “Hamlet” and “Macbeth,” not only did I feel no delight, but I felt an irresistible repulsion and tedium, and doubted as to whether I was senseless in feeling works regarded as the summit of perfection by the whole of the civilized world to be trivial and positively bad, or whether the significance which this civilized world attributes to the works of Shakespeare was itself senseless.”

Behaviour Trees are a bit more than that. They also effect/advice how you structure your project (not component based but behaviour based: exp. you don't have "controller" component in your architecture to handle all locomation but "go_to_pose" or "turn_around" behaviour) plus there are tooling provided around those architectures.

Design of Behaviour Trees were not an answer to lack of coroutines/generators (although they were missing from C++ standards until C++20) but an alternative to state machines.

Although I agree that "tick" based BT implementation is outdated and should completely be replaced by coroutines and mandatory yields (thats what I did in my implementation). There is still value in behaviour based architectures in robotics. They make building complex/reactive behaviours much easier than component based ones.

That's awful. A successful business and a unique cultural icon, ended because a deal couldn't be reached.
I am convinced that music.youtube.com upvotes and downvotes are irrelevant. I have been frequently using "Discover Mix" for 3 years. It seems pretty simple, I like dance music with no lyrics. I have downvoted maybe a few thousand songs. I get the usual snackbar. "We will tune your recommendations".

What really gets my goat is when I flip back to the browser to see something I have already previously downvoted since there is a "thumbs down" highlight. Whatever algorithm is being used, it doesn't have the ability to not play something that has previously been disliked.

Why I find this amazing is because if you told me to write a "Discover Mix" algorithm, the first or last step of that is going to be the only thing I really know. Filter out the manual dislike clicks.
3:01 they had to decrease the importance of subscribers

That explains a lot of the experience recently, I was thinking about my old subscriptions and why they haven't made a poke in a while.

I wonder can I make my browser redirect youtube.com to actually open https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions ?
The could have added an option to block channels from recommendations ages ago, it's by design.

I don't think KMP has been used in any practical substring implementation in ages. At least I'm not aware of one. I believe GNU grep uses Boyer-Moore, but that's not really the key here. The key is using memchr in BM's skip loop.
I hope you're right. I've had a US top 10 grossing game (Bowling) on Apple TV for years and the income it's not enough to pay one salary. We thought it could be a great gaming platform for people without PS/Xbox, but unfortunately this did not happen. Apple TV is probably great for Netflix etc though.

As ever, solidarity matters. The only way to get out of these embrace, extend, extinguish cycles is to form independent organizations that are never beholden to a single company or even a small handful. Individuals can't stand up to the efforts of teams of company-paid developers just by contributing their free time. But it's very hard to create such an organization without the companies immediately recognizing the need to stuff as many of their proxies into said org to gain influence, and that's a difficult thing to counter. As an ecosystem, we need to contend not only with whether a particular thing like systemd works well or solves a problem but also whether it has predatory intentions. This is simply what the incentives lead to unless the community has a strong voice to counter such attempts. And in this day and age, that also includes dealing with all the submarine articles and other consent manufacturing that are well within the budget of any large company to try to fake organic community discourse.
I believe that it would stand to reason that if IBM/RH is not permitting redistribution of sources made available in their customer portal, this would constitute a violation of the GPL for any GPL package.

I would assume that IBM/RH will then need to take the Apple approach and quickly start working to replace GCC with LLVM and next rid itself of all GPL software and stick with MIT/BSD/OSC...
Yes indeed, but the transponder itself is a self-powered device, they are battery powered when needed and those batteries are usually no joke from the ones I've encountered, as it should be. Specific times I'm not sure. I'll link one I have worked extensively with. They are designed to be extremely fault tolerant with a lot of redundancy and fail safes.

It's genuinely extremely hard to not notice it losing power.

Organizations that care about leaking information encrypt their identifiers as UUIDs. UUIDs conveniently have the same size as a single AES block, for which there is dedicated silicon on all modern CPUs. There is almost no overhead.

Every other issue with random UUIDs etc, which are ignored here, are solved by encrypting your identifier. Random UUIDs (i.e. UUIDv4) are banned in many places for good reasons.

The Isle of Man TT if the highest level motorcycle race in the world (or if it's not I'd love to hear about it!).

Everyone runs liter (1000cc) bikes, and hit absurd speeds - for example, during this video, the AVERAGE SPEED is 136.386 MPH(218 KM/H). Deaths are recorded each year during the TT.

When watching the video, notice that there are many wheelies - the engines are so strong and the motorcycles so light that the drivers have to be on the edge of grip and power, degrees of rotation of the wrist away from death while navigating a small curvy country road for almost 20 minutes.
We all know what is going and what must be done:

Market-based solutions for the climate crisis have failed and are too slow to address the issue, all current oil reserves should be immediately valued at zero dollars. Many governments have been completely captured and are not working towards humanity’s long term survival.

State of emergency should be declared with full mobilization (ie total war economy) towards addressing the climate crisis, that’s the only way out while there’s still time.

To pay for it, the usual tools nation-states have employed at times of war: devaluing currency, high income taxes (90% bracket) and disappropriation of non-productive wealth, etc. Other similar crises have happened and solved in this way.

It is possible to do with democratic feedback so no one stays behind and we come out of it with a more just society.

I am not a fan of Melenchon. I find problematic his taste for the Bolivarian alliance, or his defense of Cuba. I find problematic the lack of democracy in his political party.

But a new constitution with more democracy is still one of the center piece of his political agenda, and the political agenda of his party. That is not the case of any other major party I think. And there is no reason to believe his party would not act at least partially on it if elected.

He's been mocked big time for his "support" of Venezuela or his outbursts... But Macron and many other French political figures faced bigger scandal without having their career ended ! Why such a focus on Melenchon ?

Five dead on Titan sub were 'true explorers'
The examples in the article also include such serious threats as bicycle theft and ... any crime with a maximum punishment of 5 years in prison, which blows the door wide open to far more crimes than one can count.

Several other countries supported France on this - including Germany, which would probably have trouble getting its own Federal Constitutional Court to permit this broad of a rule, since its Basic Law does include the secrecy of communications as a fundamental right. (Presumably subject to some exceptions like most fundamental rights, but this would be a huge exception.)

I wonder if Germany's courts will refuse to apply this new EU legislation to the extent of any conflict with Germany's Basic Law. No rights guaranteed by a fundamental constitutional document of a nation are truly solid if they can just be overridden at the EU level. Hopefully the ECJ will not uphold this EU legislation so we don't have to consider the question of an override.

> How many boats are sent international if a fishing boat outside Thailand or Norway don't return home? What if a old transport ship goes missing in a storm?

The problem is that there's no immediate feedback when they go missing so the search areas are too pointlessly large to even attempt SAR operations. Areas where there's lots of immigration traffic are always monitored, like the Greeks were monitoring the boat before it capsized (enough to get that aerial photo of the overcrowded decks).

The vast majority of Coast Guards aren't stretched to their limits, they're sitting there ready to launch SAR operations if anyone calls, all largely operating for free as a cheap way of supporting maritime trade. The USCG alone responds to tens of thousands of cases a year, rescuing thousands of people. Some corrupt nations skimp on their CGs but that wasn't really the case here.
Personally I see it as an inherent flaw in the corporate model and we should rethink the idea of permanent corporations.
Based on accounts of previous voyages it didn't sound like it had a tracking system. They relied on text communication with a ship topside for navigation (and got lost for several hours on a past voyage - while still in communication with the operators).
How tempting would it be to use blackmail to influence a democratic election.

Given this national security blackmail apparatus exists how can we be sure this insidious rootkit hasn’t already been deployed?

I think you can really only use this assumption if you are talking about desktop Linux. Using the Ubuntu server version is mostly giving you Debian with more packages available (and all the benefit and downsides to that).
I went searching and was sad to find it'll ship without touch support. The display sure sounds great, but lacking touch is kind of a deal breaker for me.
I think when people say that, which I have said before too, we usually refer to previous experience with YouTube. Same when I criticize Google's search quality for example. It's compared to how I found it before.

Sure that's a bit difficult to quantify. Like for example, there was a period where discovering new channels that were right up my ally was something that happened once or twice a week. YouTube would just recommend a really interesting video from a channel I have never seen before, then I'd discover a lot of content that I really enjoy.

Recently, I needed to cruise Reddit and other random sites for recommendation. Then maybe every few months I'd come across a channel that's 6 or 7 years old that's exactly the stuff I watch all the time, and some how I never saw it before despite searching for very similar terms before and finding nothing I was interested in.

For example, I just discovered a channel called asianometry. He's been making videos that are exactly the kind of stuff I wanna listen to when I'm walking the dogs, but some how I came across it by a complete accident through Reddit.
And the notation are introduced to you gradually. Even books that do not have a chapter on the notation used, will have a reference page. If not, you’re not reading introductory material and some background is assumed.
I think they just didn't think there hull design would implode. In there minds the worst case is, they're stuck in deep ocean for a few hours until the backup dissolvable weights fall off and they pop back up to the surface (and then hopefully located).

From what I've read, in there minds there hull design was the best part of the sub. I inclined to believe he believed it, since the CEO frequently dove in it.
I've done this to the point of getting less than a half page of recommendations, only autogenerated "Mix" playlists with music from 5+ years ago or almost exclusively videos from a channel i recently watched or subscribed to.

I installed a channel blocker[1] extension to block channels from ever showing up.
