That seems like an extraordinary claim that requires extraordinary evidence.

It seems intuitive to me that just because mid-rises are likely to be built using the cheapest materials that satisfy building codes doesn't mean it's impossible to build them with better sound isolation and other amenities that improve living there.

So can you provide some reason why mid-rises must be that way, as opposed to the Almighty Market just failing, as it usually does, to provide anything other than the cheapest least-common-denominator solution?
I understood the article just fine. The "Let It Crash" philosophy is scale invariant.

Please read the last three paragraphs in [0]: "a well-designed application is a hierarchy of supervisor and worker processes" and "It handles what makes sense, and allows itself to terminate with an error ("crash") in other cases."

I've personally designed and co-implemented mission critical real-time logistics systems which dealt with tens of thousands of events per second, with hundreds of different microservices deployed on a cluster of 14 heavy nodes. Highly complex logic. At first we were baby-sitting the system, until it became resilient by itself. Stuff crashed all the time. Functional logic was still intact. Then we had true silence for months on our pager alerts.

I call it anti-fragile and Taleb is right. You can't make a system resilient if you don't allow it to fail.

Exactly, and it impacts the denominator by a great margin.

The value of the lottery ticket to me is a function of the cost, odds, timing and interest I have in the destination.

If the odds of one trailhead are 1000x lower than another one that is comparable across the other variables then I'm needlessly overpaying, and Booze Allen pockets that inefficiency.
So the difference there is that's just the song on repeat. OP's tool here will try to fill the song in with content-aware filler similar to how Photoshop uses a content-aware fill feature to try to guess what could be in the gaps.

For people who know every beat of Strobe, it sounds odd when things don't hit the same way, but at the same time it's kind of like a unique live mix.
Its hard to enter a market as a truly novel competitor. Chances are on your way up you run into some essential sources that are controlled by a competitor. Imagine starting a Peach computer company in your garage today. You think Broadcom will want to potentially sour their relationship with Apple by offering you good terms? There's a reason why a lot of these "pulled myself up by the bootstraps" stories happened in eras where you could comfortably rent a workshop with little means and do things like solder your circuitry for a desktop computer by hand and ship it to clients yourself. A lot of such windows of opportunity were open for a few short years or even decades but have long since been shut and bricked over.
That, and if you need to run some COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) software package chances are the vendor will only support it on RHEL (or CentOS). However, many of these vendors also support Ubuntu LTS or Suse Enterprise now so there are (usually) a couple of Linux-based alternatives.
Sunak regularly has called on UK private sector leaders to show "restraint" when deciding pay awards. One such example:

"The Accidental Scientist: The Role of Chance and Luck in Scientific Discovery" talks all about the different substances tried to prevent and cure scurvy. British sailors turned to have a daily ration of rum mixed with the lime juice.
If you buy a stock, you must keep (hold) it for eg. 30 days (or 7, or 60, or whatever).

Compute all you want, whenever you want, but instead of millisecond timings, optimize stuff for at least some time.

Maybe even a tax on stock profits, which is really high and falls after some time of ownership of such stock (we have this in slovenia, but it's not really high in the first place, and time brackets go less than 5 years (25%), 5-10 years (15%), 10-15 years (10%) , 15-20 years (5%), and zero tax after that.
Where can I find those test kits?

It's the other way around - if Red Hat wants to contribute to GPL software, they have to reconcile the legal realities of the situation with their business model. If it's not viable for them to contribute like this, then they shouldn't. They're binding themselves to the conditions of the GPL by contributing to it though, and shouldn't be granted exemption for being a business. If sharing their changes out of goodwill isn't their prerogative, maybe they should offer enterprise support to redistribution-optional systems like Minix instead.
He spends an order of magnitude more than necessary for convenience.
That is quite low. Senior level at most FAANGs will pay quite a bit more than that in salary and the RSUs will be more liquid.
Funny, because the way the US got most of it's worker rights and protections was pretty violent strikes in the early 1900s. It used to be reasonable for your union to have arms, and be shot at by the pinkertons. Employers, I don't care why, choose to do whatever it takes to keep me paid poorly and without power, and not hating that is just pathetic.
What do they do there so it’s suddenly not suitable? Introduce bugs on purpose? Break dependencies just so? Put in insecure defaults? If you are not an organization that requires an actual compliance department to be able to work for governments and the military, how is it different?

People have been doing this, or running Ubuntu LTS without Pro or other forms of paid support from Canonical.
I have never seen any programming project back-peddling to its previous design in recognition that it was better than the current one. Even though, unlike in many professions, we have the means (via source-control).

The hope is that as time passes, the generation that had first-hand experience with the old thing will die off and the new generation will re-discover things unjustly forgotten.
Margins go up, but volume comes down, so hard to tell if the overall profits will increase or decrease.
In the US, these statistics are recorded. It is very easy to say that corporate profits are increasing...because corporate profits are reported.

In the EU, these statistics aren't recorded so it is very hard to say whether this is correct or why. This paper is built from the very top-level of stats, I don't see any problem with the theory (decomposing the GDP deflator into components) but the lack of granularity with the data is problematic imo, particularly when you are looking at explanations.

In particular, as the paper acknowledges, previous periods showed that firms increased their profit share because they expected future wage increases. This is one of the problems with the data in that there is lags and leads, granular data allows you to more precise about why this is happening.

Also, equating the GDP deflator with actual profitability seems extremely unsound to me. In aggregate, fine. But the paper is talking about profit share not actual profitability. So profits can actually fall, and this method can show they are increasing...that is possible.

Either way, this paper isn't particularly useful and, as the authors well know, everyone will read what they want into this. It is known that the EU has poor competition, it is known that wage growth is probably the most important component of inflation...there isn't really anything particularly new here.
Canonical is a shit company, way shittier than RedHat. Use Tumbleweed and be done with it :)
I've had my Apple Watch detected me playing volley ball as having a serious fall, but it doesn't call until after a minute, and it makes quite a loud sound to notify the wearer that it's about to call.
We handle things like maintenance. For example, kubernetes cluster upgrades are automated transparently for our users.
We do not have auto remediation. That is a hard problem when we do not control the full runtime and hosting.
My favourite Enigma message - as told to me by a tour guide at Bletchley Park - was thought to be a stream of indecipherable gibberish.

Until a WREN noticed that the message never contained the letter Z.

One weakness of that generation of Enigma was that it could not self-encode a letter. That is, A was never encrypted to A.

This had no letter Zs. A statistical improbability. Unless, so she reckoned, the entire message consisted of only the letter Z repeated.

Apparently, their best guess was that a bored soldier sent a stream of Zzzzzz to a friend. That was enough to crack that day's key.

Of course, every guide at Bletchley has a range of stories they tell credulous geeks. But it is a delightful tale of how OpSec is everything.
A question for curiosity. Why can't it train on 256x256 pixels yet generate any size image? So if it was trained on multiple sizes of images, could you also generate of a larger size without upscaling?
Another angle on a solution: start your own gas company with competitive margins.

Easier said than done, obviously. But maybe we should try to make it easier?

I can imagine a downward spiral of government regulation creating moats for companies that take advantage of the lack of competition, leading to ever more government interventions that further entrench the status quo.
The value is that if your transactional mails stop working suddenly and you need a week to get it back on track you might not have a business by the time you solved the issue.
This is probably the tip of the iceberg of the bad businesses/investments that have been propped up by zero percent interest rates for the past decade.

When the tide recedes and all those investments pop, that should cause a major recession in the US and rest of the world.

A positive feedback loop will also exist, though, where due to the recession and belt-tightening, companies will defect on RTO plans and seek to get out of leases and office spaces, further intensifying the commercial real estate crash.

The Fed has definitely slammed on the brakes and will continue to do so until they create a recession and push unemployment significantly higher. We're still in a situation where nothing fundamental has changed about the US economy and if rates were dropped then inflation would surge again. And the only way that keeping rates higher doesn't break the US economy is if you believe that a decade of ZIRP didn't lead to a lot of bad investments that are funded by kick-the-can-down-the-road cheap money refinancing.
At this point, how long would it take to brute-force an Enigma message on a modern home computer? Is it on the order of hours, or millennia?

I found this:

https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/33628/how-many-po...

which says the key space is something like 10^20 or 10^23.

A modern supercomputer does something like 10^18 FLOPS. I assume that an enigma decryption is considerably more than a single floating point operation, but presumably just a few orders of magnitude.

So... if I'm reading that right, we're talking about months, perhaps?
No, there is no tipping culture for gas attendants in Oregon. Maybe with this change full service will be seen as special and tipping could happen.
>Wow. What kind of hubris could look past that huge red flag?

The "bad-boy" disruptive innovator kind that doesn't play by the rules and that's worshiped in SV because he makes his wealth playing fast and loose around old stuffy bureaucratic regulations made by "evil old men" to gatekeep innovators like him from entering the naval market held by centuries year old corporations who actually know what they're doing.

The problem for him was that, unlike consumer tech, the laws of physics can't be disrupted. He'd tell you that himself if he'd still be alive. Shame that four other people had to perish to prove him wrong.
Ah fair point, random(ish) vendor crapware utilities like that surely work better on rhel. Client libs for HSMs spring to mind too. Fortunately, not many of us are running bare metal anymore. Do you think it make any sense to use in 'the cloud' though?
Likewise, wages are not a measurement of labor, but a measurement of market power.

If wages are going down or stagnating, that is an indicator of loss of labor market power and loss of labor power in general.

It's also important to understand that some people earn in proportion to what they own/their capital, while others earn in proportion to their time.
All very logical sounding arguments, but remember that RedHat has been extremely successful for like 30 years with that open source model. These changes came after the acquisition by IBM, meaning that it's likely some clueless MBAs trying to make the line go up in the short term so they can get their promotion, rather than any kind of wise leadership decision. The only reason Rocky and Alma (the evil villains stealing RH's hard work) exist is because IBM killed CentOS, effectively pulling a bait-and-switch on a huge community.

What makes this extra worrying is the important role RH plays in the linux ecosystem. When they get fully IBM'd, what will happen to Gnome, Systemd, Flatpak, etc?
Why? What compliance reasons make Ubuntu LTS work and RHEL not work?
Well sure it's for profit, but what exactly do we (the society) get if we allow millisecond investments in our companies? Compared to classic, long-term investments.
That would be true if not for regulatory burdens that larger companies can afford to shoulder. We just watched a progression from "OpenAI has no moat" to OpenAI begging Congress for regulations to stop them from killing grandma. If you can't get a foothold in the market there's no point in acquiring you.

It's pretty much only the USA where the prices on the shelves aren't the final price with taxes.

Sales tax (and VAT) is regressive since poor people spend a much larger portion of their income on goods subject to sales tax.
Government funding for broadband should be paid as a bounty on a proven measured high speed connection to a customer premises.

Not a cent for anything else except the outcome.
In my mind this is the old “If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.”

They can raise or decrease the interest rates as its governing body sees fit.

To raise taxes or pay debt requires approval from the Legislature and that seems hard to come by.
The claim here that their sources are available seems like it probably has a lot of asterisks to it? Or is this kerfuffle really over nothing?

McGrath seems to be fessing up to removing access to binaries, and has his hard-truth he wants to try to deal, but but it seems like the story goes significantly deeper or the anger/frustration wouldn't be anywhere near as high. It's not clear to me from a quick browse of the repo what backports/security fixes are/aren't available.

> when I “remember something” I’m actually remembering the last time I remembered it

I remember reading the title of a TIL (Today I Learned) post on Reddit roughly a decade ago[0] that was worded almost verbatim like this. Just a note that this suspicion seems to be grounded in reality, assuming the veracity of that claim. As an additional data point, since being introduced to that idea I've been anecdotally "confirming" it (with the usual potential for bias) through observation of my own recollections.

They also introduced the Town and Country Planning Act of 1947, which made it illegal to build any kind of housing or modify existing housing without asking permission from the government. We would not need council housing nowadays if the private sector were simply allowed to fill the market demand. We are no longer in the days when children played in the rubble of cities flattened by the Luftwaffe.

Blaming Thatcher is too kind to the current government. They're the ones who keep listening to nimbys. Thatcher's mistake is that she didn't go far enough; axing the 1947 Act and its descendants should have been part of the supply-side reforms.

The fondness for council housing is an example of a peculiar psychological coping mechanism of Britons, stemming from imperial decline. We pretend a necessary evil was something positively desirable all along. The Americans are right, it is actually embarrassing to have 42% of your population in state-owned housing, I'm sorry to say.
What about a flat "Tobin tax" charged on each transaction so that it becomes very expensive to do lots of small trades quickly and encourages doing bigger trades at lower frequency?

I've burned out a few times. Every time was different. First time was the worst. It took me about one and a half years until I could work again. Long-term stress is dangerous. Toxic workplaces are dangerous. It's not worth it.
So, do I understand it correctly that if Redhat packages a piece of software written and maintained by someone else for their RHEL, they would share their RHEL revenues with them and pay for their work?
Let's say the folks at AMD work so hard to provide a tool to make linux run better on AMD CPUs, now Redhat will not profit off of it by selling to their enterprise customers using AMD systems?
The author of this memo just drank a lot of Kool-aid to believe in what he is writing. But, that doesn't make it right.
t.b.h. all this tells me is that your pentesters are bad.
I suspect Oracle Linux is the bigger "threat". Oracle uses this distribution all over, perhaps RedHat thinks those are licenses they deserve.

To be clear, I'm not speaking for @xtian here.

The constitution is constantly and dramatically overridden and overextended. Even the sense of porn being protected speech at all is one such case of its being stretched well beyond its intended limits. On the other hand, "hate speech" is exactly the kind of activity that it was intended to support. And organizations like the ACLU vehemently defend child porn, but equivocate on hate speech, an alternating undying adherence to the constitution when expedient even in the most contrived scenarios, and pretending that the constitution is passé or unclear when it comes to straightforward instances of its application. This is just political reality. So while I do have respect for the constitution as a cultural relic, I'm not overly concerned with strict constitutionality as such.

> a loud minority of religious people

If we put it to a plebiscite, the people would choose to prevent children from being exposed to porn. This isn't some fringe, Christian, right-wing perspective. It's the normal, working-class, common-sense opinion. Even among democrats, only a slim majority of 53%, consider porn to be morally acceptable for adult consumption. It's certainly a very fringe opinion that porn is good for children.
Jon Stewart touches on this issue (but for the US): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU3rGFyN5uQ

It's rather funny (and sad) to watch the entire conversation reflecting how inflation solutions are geared towards benefiting corporations over the people.
Amusing image though this is, Enigma machines were, in case you weren’t aware, not actually radio transmitter/receivers.

An enigma message would be typed in to the machine and the output characters written down on a piece of paper, then the message would be transmitted over Morse by hand, transcribed to paper at the other end, then typed through the correspondingly configured Enigma machine to obtain plaintext.

The last name "Goodenough" is of English origin. It is an occupational surname derived from the Middle English term "godenough," which means "good enough" or "satisfactory." The name likely originated as a nickname or a description for someone who was deemed competent, capable, or satisfactory in their profession or tasks.

In some cases, the surname may have also been a locational name, referring to someone who resided in a place called Goodenough or a similar variant. However, this is less common compared to the occupational origin.

Like many surnames, the spelling and pronunciation of "Goodenough" may have varied over time and across different regions. Variations of the name can be found, such as Goodenow or Goodenowes.

It's worth noting that surnames have complex and diverse origins, and multiple factors can contribute to the development of a particular surname. Different branches of a family may have different origins or variations of the name, so it's always recommended to research the specific family history to obtain more accurate information.
Why use very fancy word to say nothing when few word do trick?
If that's how the cookie crumbles...

What we are seeing is that with the proliferation of broadband internet, information workers don't need close proximity to one another. Cities are now largely obsolete, unfortunately. They're a choice whereas before they were a necessity, and arguments about how much someone loves the diversity of a city to the contrary, the emptiness of these office buildings speaks for itself.

I personally don't want to forcibly stagnate development to protect what amounts to unrealized losses becoming realized. The numbers are big, and so the impact is big, but fundamentally all this is is nonviable business models failing. If your pension relies on office buildings being full, if your city based it's investment plan on information workers requiring proximity to something physical, it was not viable, and there's nothing anyone can do to change that. I won't be forced into a life I don't want to save a city budget or someone's pension plan. Am I cheering? Sure, a little, but mostly I'm just looking at the situation pragmatically and realistically and seeing what's in front of me. If your retirement necessitates me paying thousands in rent to overlook deadlocked traffic, commuting for an hour or corporations paying for floor space as what amounts to a frivolous amenity, you backed the wrong horse and will take a financial hit, whether I cheer or not won't change that fact one iota.
Is There a Legal Requirement to Show ID at Airport Security?
Well, yes, but not only inefficiency.

Profit is an aggregate that adds the remuneration of capital (closely related to savings), risk-taking, technological development, initiative (close to efficiency), all kinds of corruption and coercion, and a lot of other things.

We have no viable way to run through a market and classify "well this company is profitable because it's innovative; this other one is profitable because a law requires that everybody buys something it makes", so we can only speculate on what is important at each time.

All that because I'm not sure I agree. I see all kinds of rent seeking and artificial barriers linked to the current environment, and those are not exactly measures of inefficiency, they are something else.
I believe Google Calendar and Exchange/Outlook can both produce and consume iCalendar files. Often close enough to standards that they're usable. :p

Last I checked, there is a 1% chance of a Carrington Event within the next decade. Leaving cables behind and trusting new wireless links before we have a "full DR" situation would be stupid.
Correct. Shortage of supply due to supply chain disruption. Increase in demand because of high savings rates. Value of used cars has increased globally because people are buying used instead of new.

I am not sure what people want used car dealers to do, if they could sell more cars they would but they can't make cars appear from nowhere.
