> That applies to paywalled content too, my guy. That logic doesn't work.

Not at all. If you charge for your content or services, you're starting to get an okay reimbursement at some hundreds of subscribers. With ad-supported content on social media, you need to count your audience in tens or hundreds of thousands if you want to make more than $20 per month.

> 50$ a year isn't cheap unless you provide a LOOOOOT of content.

Curiosity Stream have promotions for $10 per year, if you needed an example.

It's all about the quality of content, which it seems you don't care much for. $50 per year is cheap for a local newspaper, for example. Yet, most people think like you and that's why local journalism is dying. The result is that people sit at home and rage about Trump or Biden and know everything about the Titanic submarine, but have no clue about what's going on in their neighborhood or region. Information that is of very high value and can have a huge impact on the person who was too cheap to pay a pittance for it.

> All of those things are more expensive than bandwidth and are also scarce physical goods.

Labour is not a scarce physical good. That's what you're paying for in the restaurant. But if the result is on a screen instead of on a plate, suddenly the creator doesn't deserve to get paid. Maybe a donation, if and only if you feel like it and are in a good mood.

> Very few small time content creators paywall their content. Rather, they sell merch and accept donations.

Just take a look at how many projects abandoned because the creators moved on because they couldn't afford the monetary cost or time. Things that where enjoyed by thousands, but that very few wanted to contribute to, neither in time, money or effort. I've seen this many times. Websites that were huge in user base and impact, getting maybe a couple of hundred dollars per month in donations, while the user base is counted in millions. Or sites giving away great stuff for free for years and then started asking for payment. Do you think anybody is grateful for the years of free content? No, they're outraged that the creators don't continue making the stuff for free anymore. "Greedy", "beggar" and such are what content creators get called when they dare to charge or ask for donations.

Those still there and asking for donations and selling merch are those who didn't move on. Individual paywalls are hard because most creators aren't that technical to be able to set it up. That's why I think paywalls work better as an umbrella service.

> and paywalling is too restrictive to make any sort of sense for most consumers that are broke or value their money.

They aren't consumers if they don't pay, that's the thing. Why should anybody care about them? I hope these kind of people fucking stay on TikTok or go offline. They contribute nothing, why the hell should anybody care about them?
It's not this forum, it's the default behavior of HTML unless you specifically opt in to significant white space, which few sites do because it has a tendency to create spurious newlines unless the code is maintained very carefully.

I'd be very curious to know if you have any examples of a website that does preserve multiple spaces after periods—I would suspect that in most cases where you think that is happening, it's actually because the font handles the extra space.

What I meant was that in reality, few musicians are going to release dummy head / binaural content that is mastered such that it only sounds correct if you're listening on headphones. That is: theoretical custom mix for headphones >= Dolby Atmos > traditional compromise stereo mix. However ~all content released is in the latter category. Pretty much all music released is designed to be listened to on the car radio, so all the details are compressed out. In that context, a headphone-specific mix seems to be asking too much.

It is, of course, completely technically possible to produce spatial audio for headphones, but there's a reason why it didn't really take off anywhere other than video games. DirectSound 3D, SB X-Fi and A3D back in the 90s had object-based spatial audio, though it wasn't great, and was an API not a storage or transmission format. Ambisonics has existed since the 70s, and when I tried it out a decade or so ago, it was very cool - but for various reasons, it never really was practical outside of a few tech demos.

Dolby Atmos isn't doing something that was physically impossible before, it's just a new codec that makes it practical to store and transmit spatial audio that can be rendered for the specific speaker configuration it's being played on. Unlike some previous attempts at it, it's a codec that actually has relatively widespread support now, with the force of a Dolby behind it to encourage manufacturers and producers to actually implement it in the correct way. Indeed, going back to my point about car radio dynamics, Dolby Atmos even has strict rules about the loudness of content, meaning if something has Atmos, you're probably going to get better dynamics than the standard stereo mix. My hope is that pushing audio rendering decisions to the decoder is going to force them to get a bit smarter than just dumping channels to the speakers. It's long overdue for car audio systems to have dynamic range compression built in.

I see it a bit like NVIDIA G-Sync. VRR existed for a long time, but with nobody using it. NVIDIA brought it into the mainstream and applied technical standards to it to the point that you knew if you buy a G-Sync branded monitor and GPU, you're going to get a consistent experience.

The summary it provides is entirely wrong except for the name of the main character.
This is a regulatory problem not a business problem. Payment processors need to understand a client's risk profile and what business they do in order to prevent money laundering, and in practice, regulators only care about clients that have a certain volume.

Paypal, Stripe, and any other major payment processor have developed a strategy of letting users use the service with no restrictions until they hit that volume then they begin doing things like this.

Ultimately, this is caused by regulation and needs to be fixed by regulation, but it won't because practices like this are extremely lucrative.
I'm not a lawyer but why would your location be considered “secure in their persons”? If you show up on a traffic camera somewhere for example they don't need a warrant or anything to find out your location or whereabouts. Your location isn't protected at all.

I am an analytical chemistry PhD student about to turn in my dissertation, and I also have had no thorough education in signal processing, and had to teach myself what I know. It's really a shame because I do know a ton about the phenomena that produce signals that we analyze, but very little about the signals themselves. Kind of a deficiency in my education I suppose.
Yeah but iPhones are the least secure phones. You might get 6 years of security, but the amount of 0 click exploits that were seen in the wild have caused death(Khashoggi at a minimum) and nude leaks(Bezos).

They really couldn't. If you've ever worked with OEL in any technical capacity you can kinda tell Oracle doesn't have a shred of the Linux expertise that Red Hat does. They can report to upstream (RHEL) but that's about it. It's trite and funny of them to troll IBM but it's a laughable idea. If Red Hat were to take them up on it it would be a disaster within probably weeks.

The decision by Red Hat/IBM here is incredibly shortsighted and stupid.

While containers solve a lot of problems, they do create a bunch of new problems. For example that 'every dependency' is a double-edged sword. Now instead of just one version of OpenSSL on my host I have a bunch. Half them are vulnerable, and none of them share the same memory.

Personally I'm looking forward to when this is included in Nix so I get a ephemeral/reproducible install that doesn't add a second copy of both postgres and ngingx.
Do we have any numbers for how many applicants get their debt forgiven? The requirements seem pretty wishy-washy and easy for courts to just deny out of hand if they want. And while that could go both ways for someone, Americans in general are pretty obsessed with people paying debts in full regardless of how fair or not or manipulative or scammy the deal originally was or the circumstances that brought it about.

Every other debt having your bankruptcy approved is proof enough that you were under undue hardship and couldn't crawl your way back out. But student loans are special and need further proof, which means they are definitely not that easy to get out from.
I moved (or will be) it to wordpress.com, so it's not like I don't trust you to host my blog. It's mainly about the change itself. The locking down of archives was an announced change on the Tumblr blog, so not a bug, and that would have been a deal breaker even if it worked for me.
You don't need real evidence. Just the most simplest thought experiment in the state of nature (which is anarchy). How do two wild animals win a dispute over something? They either fight violently, or intimidate (ie persuade) their opposition into getting their way. The act of avoiding violence (giving into intimidation), is an act to ceding to the other as the dictator.

> perhaps humans have been conditioned to operate within a power hierarchy

Yes, exactly! No human, nor animal, wants to be perpetually in violence, as it is very risky to living. So, if they wish to avoid violence whenever a dispute arises, they naturally subject themselves and cede to the other as the superior authority in the matter, letting them get their way. However, if a human/animal ever thinks the reward for winning a fight outweighs the risks of violence, they will indeed risk the fight. Repeated disputes where one continues to be the victor, conditions those in the matter who is superior and inferior, and a power hierarchy is naturally established.

The only way communism can ever work, is if there is never any disputes. That is not a practical scenario outside a power hierarchy, and hence why it does not work in practice. And for those that don't see how "communism == anarchy", just look at how "public == many", and "private == few".

This is post-hoc rationalization of the only kind of touch controls accessible to the average user. Nothing novel or pre-planned about these, and they certainly don't "teach" the users to do certain things (as much as apple fanboys might want it to). It's a generalized user-interface, not difficult or novel. In fact it's very unopinionated, contrary to what the article states.
They don't care. Some accountant somewhere probably did a really simple calculation and figured they'd sell more into their captive clients than they'd lose to other distributions this way and they called the shot.

They may well have been matrilineal because prior to IVF etc, you could be certain who the mother was but not the father.

It has its good points but shouldn't be assumed to be an expression of high ideals.

Most likely, quality of life went up for most people thanks to agriculture. Before that, war, abortion, exposing unwanted infants and insisting some people just leave the tribe and not come back were some of the means humans used to keep population levels sustainable and avert mass starvation in hunter-gatherer societies.

Samsung is garbage tier and on my list of Never Buy.

Responding to peer comment.

It’s public information if a law enforcement officer happens to see you in public. It’s not public information if their surveillance is via a 3rd party whose information is not public.

Arguably even if you’re in public, surveillance (looking for you specifically) should require a warrant. We could debate that.
I use Monarch. I pay a monthly fee for it, but it has zero ads, tracks all the accounts I care about, and gives me a simple interface for the "envelope method" on web and mobile. I've used Mint, YNAB, and several other tools. This is my favorite that I've found so far.

I worry about catastrophic data loss. Even at Google scale you hear stories of things going wrong and they have to resort to off-site offline storage; for stuff like photos of my kids, I just don't trust myself, the SW provider, hardware etc to sufficiently insulate me from something crazy going wrong. It only needs to happen once.
Shops could have people dedicated to such tasks rather than the usual feature work. Same as we now have devops teams, or even devex teams. For example I actually enjoy refactoring, cleaning up, and tending the garden. And I am sure I am not the only one - but the pressure is always to deliver features, so housekeeping is rarely done.
Like others said I think:

- Porn was quarantined reasonably well

- Twitter was "too big to ban"

Those factors are rapidly disappearing, so it will be interesting to see if Twitter lasts...
Cross-signing a CA is many orders of magnitude more work than signing a single domain leaf cert. Sure, on a technical level the result is similar - a signed X.509 cert, just with the "CA" flag set to true, but it's a very different proposition.

Imagine if a CA cross-signed some new, upstart CA to get them browser compatibility (like IdenTrust did for LE), and then the new upstart went rogue and started issuing phony certs for google.com, wikipedia.org, etc. on behalf of [insert totalitarian nation here] state security. Those certs would chain up to the cross-signer's root, and they're responsible for it. They could face removal from root programs if they were reckless about cross-signatures.

So if a root CA wants to cross-sign a new CA, they need to make sure that the new CA follows the same policies and gets the same audits as a root CA, because their ability to break things will be basically equivalent to a root CA.

Honestly, <$500k for all the admin work on this sounds reasonable to me. It probably took a huge portion of several people's time throughout the year.

My guess is that Google will ship a commodity AR/VR operating system, which will be used by other phone manufacturers like Samsung, Asus, etc. to power their headsets, just like Android on phones.
Can you clarify what exactly is "over"?
Cool, but as others said fairly easy to do on your own already. Sort of related but a problem I have been trying to solve is, how to create a trusted certificate for a new device on a private network automatically without any configuration? For example, imagine you are turning up a new router or switch with a Web UI for management. Traditionally this is served on http initially and you can optionally install a cert and enable https. It would be nice to have a way to have this happen automatically to obviate the need for http at all. Also consider that this private network may not be connected to the internet at all and so can't rely on outside servers.

I was kicking around the idea for an rfc that would be something like this. Your DHCP server would have an option to act as a CA (or point at one), with ACME protocol enabled. Then, you add DHCP option fields telling clients to trust this new CA certificate, but only for hosts on this local network (to avoid being able to MITM outside connections). Then clients on this network would be able to request certificates from the CA using ACME automatically and others on the network would automatically trust them assuming support for this standard was added the OS or browsers etc.
There's nothing unjust in evading taxes. It's an individual choice, nobody is born into servitude.

The discussion is hypothetical about an all-encompassing CBDC, which could take away the gray market and hinder tax evasion. Brazil is not in that situation, since the CBDC is just another payment method among others, most importantly physical cash. If you want to see an authoritarian society you should rather look to China, where they are developing their social credit system.

Literally everything "of value" that was ever published was unpublished for some period of time.

Also, people may keep works private not because they lack value, but for other reasons.

As a very simple example, a someone might take a racy photo for their own private use, not because it would have no commercial value, but because they prefer not to commercialize it. And there are hundreds of other reasons why someone might choose not to share a work with the world.
My idea is a new architecture for general-purpose processors / FPGAs. It may turn out a new successful processor architecture, or just a new FPGA / FPGA-like architecture, or it may be a practically unviable, unsuccessful idea. Need to make actual simulations to see if it is competitive or not. So in the case that the architecture is good, there is no doubt that the product will be in demand. The main question is whether my idea will actually work (architecture is competitive).

I'm also cheap when it comes to audio gear, and can't imagine buying anything this fancy. What's interesting here is that Eno has done museum installation pieces - music designed for a specific space. The point to him is not that some sound is intended to be in your left ear, but that it's on the left side of the room, and all the sounds are positioned relative to each other, while you're free to move as you please. I could imagine Music for Airports played across an entire airport - that would be something.
You don’t have to build anything.

Do build something from your own proclivity and inclination. Don’t feel that you have to build something to be called an engineer based on outside pressure and self-comparisons.

If You really want to build, just start. Pick small things that will make your life a little easier. Even if it seems like a silly idea, do it anyway.
