> the incentives to participate in ordered society are diminishing [...] I just don't see the benefits anymore

I don't know where you live, of course. But you seem to be in despair. If I may suggest that you reflect further or talk with someone, your view of society is clearly not true.

There continue to be significant benefits to participating in ordered society. And this, for the vast majority of humanity.
But it's a screw up most space launch providers are sharing, and it's one most of them will survive in the medium term for the same reason: their respective governments see more value in them than revenue and will prop them up.

The more interesting question is what will happen after Ariane 6. SpaceX's lead continues to grow, and catching up would require changes to the development process not everyone seems comfortable with.
Most of them can't be coerced like this. Typescript is one of the few that can be.

unknowingly forcing their preference onto the recipient

I'd suggest knowingly rather than unknowingly. It's a link to a website after all. It should link to the same thing that the person who shared it was viewing. That's the point of a URL - when you share one the recipient should see what you were seeing.

FWIW I would also like browser vendors to do a better job at enabling users to manage their preferences on a per site basis though.
I looked at this chart just yesterday for a quick evaluation. The statistical axis deception was totally lost on me. However my first thought looking at this graph was that they don't compare themselves to the fast competition.

It's not that ironic.

Germans tend to do stuff right when they do it.

The ironic thing to me is that Germany is so anti-nuclear.
Total frequency error over time is not a good measure of stability because the frequency is actively adjusted to control this. The grid could fail every day and still have 0 frequency error over time if they ran it faster when it was working to compensate.
I've never really understood the point of comments like this. So, there are conditions where cycling isn't feasible. Sure. Does that mean people in general couldn't use bicycles more? No, of course not. Did GP suggest that everyone that lives within 5km of work must bike every day. No, not that either.

For every solution it's easy to find a situation where that solution doesn't apply. So what? That doesn't mean the solution is worthless. Last I checked, the Alps didn't cover all of Germany - did they move recently?

"Every country in the world has their share of far right bozos"

I'd suggest you follow the links I gave you.

"In this first English-language book on the Azov movement, Michael Colborne explains how Azov came to be and continues to exploit Ukraine’s fractured social and political situation—including the only ongoing war on European soil – to build one of the most ambitious and dangerous far-right movements in the world. Michael Colborne ... has been part of the Bellingcat Monitoring Project team at the investigative journalism website Bellingcat, primarily researching Ukraine’s far right."

And by the way, what other country made a neo-Nazi brigade a part of its army?

"And they are putting their lives where their mouths are"

Not sure what's your point. Nazis were doing that too.
haha, oh of course all of this is implicitly prefaced with "In my opinion".

> Also, screen protectors? Last time I saw one was ~1994.

Ugh, I think you're thinking of those tinted glass things you'd hang on old CRT monitors? Never heard of those being called "screen protectors" though. By screen protector I mean replaceable covers for flat screens:

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805177079468.html?spm=a2g...

My proposal for the industry: ship screens as glossy and add the matte as an optional screen protector. Note that before around 2010 this was already how they shipped displays: the matte was a plastic layers that you could frequently peel off. Nowadays, most matte displays have the surface finish done right on the polarizer layer.
I think they didn't do that because they would need to have that system independent of the system inside the submarine or otherwise they would need to drill holes in the main hull to provide power for that. Given the fact that the aystem was controlled by a cheap controller pretty sure they didn't spend that much money on the weight drop system either.

You’re right it’s not even a method lol it’s a custom dom attribute. I had no idea
Please note that Docker and LXC (and LXD by extension) are essentially the same technology packaged differently, with different yet overlapping use cases; in fact, early Docker Engine was based on LXC before they switched to containerd.

Therefore I don't think there is anything that can run on LXC/LXD but not on Docker (and vice versa); it's more a matter of preference, whether you want a long-lived persistent virtual system (LXC/LXD) or ephemeral single-application containers with optional persistence (Docker).

Still, nothing stops you from using LXC/LXD for ephemeral containers and Docker for long-lived systems, but you'd be using the non-optimal tool.
And which power source doesn't create externalities that are not factored into the price?
We would never touch that though. The lawyers don’t really grok the beginning and the end of the limitations. We can pick up mit, Apache, mpl, bsd and in some cases gpl (inc v3). Probably some more but agpl and such are off limits even though we will never actually sell it as a service as such.

> but shouldn't there be a briefing where participants learn about something like that?

They are in a sealed tube underwater where most of the systems are automated. Practically, the only thing they can do is sit down and hang onto their butts. Even the press interviews reveal a simple button to submerge or ascend. Beyond the simple controller for limited maneuverability there isn't much anyone can do from inside the capsule.

For untrained crew or passengers this is probably the best setup. But there should have been a lot more critical engineering involved before even a single crew dived.
I think there's a middle ground, where it's hype but not gamed, like pre-unicorn Clubhouse, and IRC during its peak.
Oh cool! When I tried, I didn't detect any network activity; figured the setup isn't even downloading the files.
At least in my circle (Ruby on Rails), big companies who continue to use the classic Rails+MySQL combo have to do ungodly things to keep it from collapsing. Just read any of their blog posts or look at some of their open source stuff. It's very easy to see how someone who's been through that might go out to build something new from the ground up to try and sidestep problems.

Even things like TCP and HTTP are seeing revamps because the stuff from last decade is just not that good. GPUs exist because x86 just didn't cut it on a fundamental level.

So I think on some level we kind of did try to standardize stuff. We always try to standardize stuff. Then someone comes along with a new non-standard thing that just blows your standard out of the water, because turns out it's really hard to build an unbeatable standard.

But yes, maybe there's a bit too much effort going into this reinvention process. Most new things really don't hold a candle to the tried and true stuff. Problem is sometimes they do.
Moderation is never mandatory, it's just something most people desire.
maybe, I was just in Switzerland and people said that Japan is even better in terms of transit. If Singapore has reliable prioritized public transport, then yep, it's cool. What shocked me the most is that in Swiss, all tickets for any transport can be bought in a single app, and if you don't want extra hassle, you don't even need to buy it, just press a button and the app will calculate by gps what you need to pay. This + super precise arrival times...

True. Maybe the fallacy is seeing exponential(ish) growth now, and pretending it was always exponential. Maybe population was linear(ish), for a very, very, long time.
> The UK public are extremely conservative, and extremely misinformed by conservative news sources.

While conservative news sources historically act in bad faith here, non-conservative news sources lose all reasoning ability, when it comes to Gov surveillance. They rarely hold Gov accountable unless they have little choice.

The latter probably happens because the public endlessly gives news orgs a pass about it.

Has a method of long term stasis been found yet (like you see in Interstellar or other movies) where you can nap and be kept alive for that long? Otherwise I think you'd still need to overcome the mental limitations of being stuck in a metal tube for thousands of years with no way out and no way to pass the time. Or at the very least, some way of staying asleep for a few years--wake up for a few months--sleep for a few years--wake up for a few months and so on.

RedReader has a bit different UI. Was it made for specially able people?
I think part of the point the author was making is that rendering and interacting with the server can vary depending on the client you build. You could have a CLI client or a React client and build them with two completely different goals in mind. For example, monitoring and botting channels vs. end-user experience.
It sort of depends I guess. I’m not a political historian but it depends on what that “authoritarianism” looks like. In general though, wouldnt authoritarianism exist to maintain a strict status quote? In that sense yes I would call it conservative.

But like I said, I’m not a political historian just an idiot with a half baked opinion.
How does the ruling come to that conclusion? How does an ID that uniquely identifies a user but can't be used to trace back to a physical person be PII?

Reading the linked rulings it seems like it's not the IP (even though it's only blanked at the last octet) but rather other cookie values, which may in turn be traceable to the user?

Of course if a cookie value is sent and in some other system that same cookie value is stored next to a user's name, then that cookie value is definitely PII and can't be sent via GA, that much I understand.

The key passage from the longest ruling (DI) seems to be

Dessa identifierare har skapats med syftet att kunna särskilja individuella besökare, såsom
klaganden. De unika identifierarna gör därmed besökarna på Webbplatsen
identifierbara. Även om sådana unika identifierare (enligt punkt 1 ovan) i sig inte skulle
anses göra enskilda identifierbara, måste det dock beaktas att dessa unika
identifierare i det aktuella fallet kan kombineras med ytterligare element (enligt
punkterna 2–4 ovan) samt att det är möjligt att dra slutsatser i förhållande till
information (enligt punkterna 2–4 ovan) som medför att uppgifter utgör
personuppgifter, oaktat om IP-adressen inte överförts i sin helhet

Basically: the random ids aren't enough by themselves, nor is the IP, but the IDS together with partial IPs and something else is.

I don't know what the bottom line is though. And that worries me a bit. Any analytics will be at risk of doing this. In my desktop app analytics we blank IPs etc, but just storing some hardware data (ram amount, cpu freq, windows version, screen resolution...) means that we eventually have enough entropy to say with certainty that each user we have has a unique set of parameters in the data we log. It's almost impossible to NOT fingerprint perfectly if you gather even just basic hardware and OS info, for example. But there is of course zero possibility that we could use the data backwards and say "ok which single physical person is it that has a 16 core machine and 16Gb ram" making it "not PII"?

I think the key issue in these cases with GA is that it's more a chain leading to actual PII. E.g. the cookie value that GA has access to, can realistically be stored somewhere where there is also PII such as an email address. And that's enough to violate the GDPR.
I run LXD on snap. It used to be straight up LXD using .deb. The switch has caused the host to continuously have a load of 3+.

SnapD is always the top process. I actually started a migration to Archlinux, which has LXD as native packages. Insane. I know.
Does twitter work again without account?

Edit: It seems specific Tweet URLs and the status page work but the timeline does not.
Anytime your explanation is “well I dont know why they’d blow their own pipeline, or cut off water to their own civizens forever, they’re just that dumb” you have to suspect that may not be the explanation. At the very least it shows it wasn’t ordered at the highest levels of either army or government. Russia even tried to warn the UN security council that Ukraine is about to blow up the dam (around the time of your second link, Dec 2022) so they were saying the same “they are evil/dumb” bullcrap about Ukrianians.

Same with “I don’t know why Assad would use chemical weapons after he was winning with conventional ones, just so he can do the one thing that would force USA to attack him, he’s just a dumb evil man”

I watched your twitter linked video. I understand Russian. The guy says he WARNED about it going to be blown up after Russians retreated from Kherson (thus presumably he means by Ukrainians). He says he won’t speculate on who did it (hardly a proof that he admits Russians did it). He goes on to say that now that it’s done what matters is how well the evac their guys. And then goes on to say bravado things like “we should do this stuff to more dams.” (as in — well, the Ukrainians did it to this one, they dont give a shit about civilians, so let’s do it to other dama too). That last part is what’s monstrous about war. Soldiers may just be exasperated and just say “fuck it” and start destroying civilian infrastructure, raping, and causing a lot of suffering. And all for what?

My position isn’t that Russians are somehow good, or “whataboutism” to excuse war crimes. My position is that we could have had averted the war in 20 different ways (putting Russia on a path into NATO, agreeing not to push Ukraine and Georgia into NATO, also the CIA NOT arming training paramilitary groups in Ukraine) some of which are well accepted (Minsk II agreements, or the deal brokered by Naftali Bennett to stop the war 2 weeks in —- tell me, why was it blocked by USA?)

Every expert trivially predicted this would be the outvome of NATO expansion for decades, and were systematically ignored. Is this wise foreign policy, or reckless?

Ah, you are correct. It's based on Chromium OS, which is the open source base for Chrome OS. I somehow missed it, but it's also mentioned on the page I linked.
I don't really understand why social sites don't support a decent "read-only" mode.

I get that someone having an account probably makes them slightly more likely to engage and perhaps a little easier to target with ads, but it's not like read-only sites and services can't make decent ad money. And isn't it true that only a tiny percentage of social media users contribute?

Adding needless restrictions to users who just want to consume content on your service seems like a really stupid idea when those users are probably the bulk of the user base and will bring in the bulk of ad dollars.

Personally I won't use services that require me to sign up. I used to use Twitter quite a bit without an account to search for conversations about current topics or just look at the tweets of someone I'm interested in. Recently I've been forced to sign in to use search so I've just stopped using it. Maybe some people would sign up, but I'm guessing a very significant percentage people won't bother creating an account just to search for something on Twitter.
