It is a mistake for the intent of GPL licenses because if the place they received it closes down it can become difficult to get the source / de facto closed source.

The solution to this is for every place using the software to become a mirror or otherwise allow access to the source code in the same way as if they were distributing GPL binaries, correct.

> The GDPR does apply outside the EU, it, like many laws, is extra-territorial.

Extra-territoriality of law is a fantasy, not a reality, unless it's backed by significant soft and hard power. Any country can say their law is extra-territorial all they want, but they have no jurisdictional authority to the enforce the law in an extra-territorial way. The extra-territoriality of GDPR has never been tested, but it's pretty clear to me that the EU cannot successfully enforce GDPR against a non-EU entity in the US. It may be able to use soft-power against smaller nations, but not against the US.

If the GDPR needs to extend into the US, it has to be via treaty, which has the same force as federal law, or via analogous federal law in the US. Neither of which exist right now. In fact, the exact opposite exists. The US government has made it pretty clear with the Cloud Act and other laws that the GDPR does not and will not apply to US-based companies operating on the Internet.

The EU is welcome to try to enforce it. In some ways, I would hope it would succeed (I support GDPR privacy rights/goals), however the precedent of extra-territoriality and sovereignty is not small.
Sure, but we need to base our predictions of the future on our experience of existing similar technologies to have any credbility.

For example, if I predicted that phones the size of a coin are the future, you could meaningfully say "in my experience, bigger phones are actually more sought after, so I don't believe your prediction".

The first footnote says If you squint hard enough, you'll find that Firecracker does support dynamic memory management with a technique called ballooning. However, in practice, it's not usable. To reclaim memory, you need to make sure that the guest OS isn't using it, which, for a general-purpose workload, is nearly impossible

I don't know if _one_ such article exists, but here is a piece of tech doc from oVirt (yet another tool) that shows how - or that - VDSM is used by oVirt to communicate with QEMU through libvirt: https://www.ovirt.org/develop/architecture/architecture.html...

In really simple terms, so simple that I'm not 100% sure they are correct:

* KVM is a hypervisor, or rather it lets you turn linux into a hypervisor [1], which will let you run VMs on your machine. I've heard KVM is rather hard to work with (steep learning curve). (Xen is also a hypervisor.)

* QEMU is a wrapper-of-a-sorts (a "machine emulator and virtualizer" [2]) which can be used on top of KVM (or Xen). "When used as a virtualizer, QEMU achieves near native performance by executing the guest code directly on the host CPU. QEMU supports virtualization when executing under the Xen hypervisor or using the KVM kernel module in Linux." [2]

* libvirt "is a toolkit to manage virtualization platforms" [3] and is used, e.g., by VDSM to communicate with QEMU.

* virt-manager is "a desktop user interface for managing virtual machines through libvirt" [4]. The screenshots on the project page should give an idea of what its typical use-case is - think VirtualBox and similar solutions.

* Proxmox is the above toolstack (-ish) but as one product.

Helm really solves a different use case than this.

This is about describing the desired coordination among running containers. Helm is about how you template or generate your declarative state. You could certainly add this description to your templates with Helm, but you couldn't actually implement this feature with Helm itself.
It depends. It is a fundamentally different branch of the OOP family tree than what most people are used to seeing. Enough so that I've seen people declare it to *not be OOP*. So if you stumble across the model having only seen the style of OOP popularized by C++ and later Java, no. You will probably *not* find it to be liberating.

The idea is that you have classes which model state. And then you have generics that model functionality. And you define methods which provide an implementation of the generic for a class. But it's more flexible than what you see in Java because such a method can be easily added after the fact as it's not intrinsically part of the class' definition.

If you're familiar at all with Typeclasses in Haskell & Scala, personally I find those to be similar enough to get the gist. Likewise Dylan and R's S4 objects are modeled after CLOS' structure.
The meat:

> The New York Times said on Monday that it would disband its sports department and rely on coverage of teams and games from its website The Athletic, both online and in print.

> ...

> The shuttering of the sports desk, which has more than 35 journalists and editors, is a major shift for The Times. The department’s coverage of games, athletes and team owners, and its Sports of the Times column in particular, were once a pillar of American sports journalism. The section covered the major moments and personalities of the last century of American sports, including Muhammad Ali, the birth of free agency, George Steinbrenner, the Williams sisters, Tiger Woods, steroids in baseball and the deadly effects of concussions in the National Football League.

> The move represents a further integration into the newsroom of The Athletic, which The Times bought in January 2022 for $550 million, adding a publication that had some 400 journalists covering more than 200 professional sports teams. It publishes about 150 articles each day.

> The staff of The Athletic will now provide the bulk of the coverage of sporting events, athletes and leagues for Times readers and, for the first time, articles from The Athletic will appear in The Times’s print newspaper. Online access to The Athletic, which is operated separately from the Times newsroom, is included for those who subscribe to one or more of The Times’s bundle of products.

> ...

> When The Times bought The Athletic, executives said the deal would help the company appeal to a broader audience. They added it to a subscription bundle that includes the main Times news site as well as Cooking, the Wirecutter product review service and Games.

> ...

> In recent years, with the rise of digital media, The Times’s sports department began to downsize, just as many other national and local newspapers did. The section lost its stand-alone daily print section. Not every local team was assigned a beat reporter. Box scores disappeared.

Besides the organization changes, the main effect of this seems like it will push sports coverage out of the basic subscription level ($17/month) and into higher-tier plan ($25/month).
I subscribe to that. I left my previous job just after two months because I was put into a chair as a developer and then ... nothing for two months. I literally got paid to do nothing.

Manager? Product Manager? Team leader? They were all pretending that newly hired people does not exist. But they went great lengths to poach me from a previous job, to do nothing? I am perplexed by this behavior until today. I have quit and set up my own company where I have less money but at least I am working on something.

There is no reason to say "every story has two sides." Some may, and you can call that out, but no, not every story has two sides.

For example, a report about a new science result, the science is "one side." The "other side" is not the crystal healing quack that believes in magic. Two, you have video evidence of something along with multiple eye-witnesses. That is one side. The other side is not "oh but maybe all the witnesses are really part of a huge conspiracy and the video is fake!"

Some claims are not strong, and if a specific claim is not strong then you can explain why. But you cannot just flippantly say every story has two sides, that's bullshit. You need to say why a particular claim should be doubted.

The GDPR applies to all EU citizens; so the EU may not always be able to enforce it, but if it can it usually does. So if for example a company infringes EU citizen rights in the US the EU courts can (and sometimes does) fine the company if it has a presence in the EU (i.e. it is capable of enforcing it).
For comparison, DuPont alone saw around $1 billion in annual profits from its PFOA products back in 2016.[0]

That claim seems suspect. Dupont booked around 4 billion in profits in 2016[1]. If the claim was true, it would mean PFOA made up around a quarter of their business. However, if you look at their net sales/profit by business segment[2] along with segment descriptions[3], there's basically no way that PFOA made up a quarter of their profits. They make too much other stuff for that to be the case.

From working in a somewhat related discipline, the PDKs for the high end nodes (think tsmc N16 and lower) are quite hard to obtain and require your org to pass security audit. In addition to that the cadence licenses are priced very much for a big-org rather than a startup.

Does your chip absolutely need a modern node? I'm assuming you've seen the open source skywater pdk, but here it is just in case. https://github.com/google/skywater-pdk
>> Jonathan Oppenheim, who runs a program exploring post-quantum alternatives at University College London, suspects that’s because gravity simply can’t be squeezed into a quantum box.

No, data collection ought to always be based on informed consent. A default enabled checkbox that can easily be skipped over does not constitute informed consent.

I agree that opt-in telemetry however is useless.

Thus, the only ethical and useful option is forced choice; i.e. present the user with two unselected options where a decision between them must be made.

This is e.g. how Apple designed its usage data option for the Apple TV, AFAIK. Two unselected options, given equal weight and styling etc.

This is one thing I like about Scala. While its classes can be used in the exact same manner as Java, that's not how its creators pitch them. I've seen them advocate using classes/objects akin to ML's modules, but there's enough flexibility to pivot if for some reason that does not make sense.
I shouldn't need a Tesla account though in the same way I shouldn't need an EVgo account or an Electrify America account or a Chargepoint account or a Waygo account or a Sheetz account or an Exxon account or a Shell account or...

I don't need an account to go pump gas from whatever gas station nearby. I shouldn't need an account to get a charge from a Tesla charger, and it shouldn't be able to just deny service to my car because the CEO of Tesla doesn't want to play ball with some other manufacturer at the moment.

Exxon or Shell shouldn't be able to just refuse to pump gas into a Hyundai.
This is a great point. This works in my company because we have this, but without it I agree accurate estimation is impossible.
The fact that this is needed for so many different things Google pushes, and it has been so slow to make it in, has been very frustrating and telling.
That's absurd, and tantamount to a judge not doing their job, which is to oversee the proper discovery and application of precedent. I'd even make the contention that this fundamentally deprives people of their right to due process, and if it is the case that the judiciary cannot handle case loads, we need to start talking about the structural reasons resulting in that.

Memory is far from infallible but human brains do contain knowledge and are capable of introspection. There can be false confidence, sure, but there can also be uncertainty, and that's vital.

Are you sure about that "or"? ("or you are just reusing the code without any modifications")

Afaik due to the virality of GPL, as soon as your proprietary product makes use of a GPL or AGPL library (where "makes use" is my way of saying "links against" in the license parlance), the whole product would need to be distributed under the same (A)GPL license.

Putting off the New York Times specifically for a moment, this is a "no true scotsman" fallacy.

Example:

"The New York Times is not that left-wing, and all centrists realize this."

"Many centrists think they are getting more left-wing."

"No true centrist would think that, therefore, they aren't centrists."

The GDPR applies to EU citizens regardless of where they are, and if the EU courts can apply fines (for example the company has a presence in the EU) then the court will probably fine the company.
Two options:

-- Accountability Coach

-- Personal trainer

Of the 2, personal trainer is probably better if you are new to the gym (been lifting 0-2 years) because they will also help you nail technique/form so you don't get yourself injured swinging around ego lifts.

You don't have to pay a lot for this either - don't get the $120/hr folks at big 24 hour gyms, find a private gym where one trainer might be working with about 6-8 folks at any one time. They will queue up each set of exercises for you, check your form and then do the same for someone else while you are doing the bulk of the work.

The place I go to charges $45 per 90 minute session for this and it's great. I don't need to figure out my workout, track my weights/reps for progressive overload or anything. They take care of all of that. I just show up, do the work and get on with my day.
> From a practical standpoint, we believe Oracle Linux will remain as compatible as it has always been through release 9.2, but after that, there may be a greater chance for a compatibility issue to arise. If an incompatibility does affect a customer or ISV, Oracle will work to remediate the problem.

Well to some extent, Redhat got what it wanted, clones are starting to contribute rather than just cloning, with stream becoming the center of it all.

Cloudlinux did the same thing, they are hiring and starting to diverge from just being a RHEL clone.
Yes it blooming well should. Culture is important. Not to mention puppeteers will be in demand in an age of VR chat and avatars.
Good chatgpt
At this point, my first choice would be https://www.cockroachlabs.com/ (CockroachDB SaaS), which can allow for distributed instances... if your concern is more localized reads. Most cloud databases have tradeoffs. CockroachDB's advantages are pretty good horizontal scaling and mostly compatible to PostgreSQL from the wire protocol, datatypes and most basic queries.

The down sides, is it does help to at least understand horizontal database scaling, sharding, etc. so that you can use techniques that will avoid the worst bottlenecks (namely sequential number generation and joins).

Not sure what this provider offers and there are definitely other solutions from other cloud providers and service (Mongo, and others) or self-hosting a multi-region db with ScyllaDB/Cassandra even.
Senior leadership has many important functions, and more demands on their time than hours in the day, but their number one job is communicating a vision to the org. There's basically nothing else with similarly high impact as this is what blocks or unblocks the productivity of the entire organization.

I've watched 1,000 person orgs rot because the senior leader could not settle on a vision. He was "always on", smart, articulate, all those good adjectives. None of it mattered without the vision.
> This has been done, and we only see the gravity from the cannon ball that we placed, and not the alternate location it might have been placed at.

Some sites will automatically restore your account if you log into it again before the deletion completes. For example, Twitter.

A while ago, I went through and deactivated a bunch of social media accounts. In fact I first did it for an organization I was a member of. And of course, I got to learn first-hand how crazy-difficult it is sometimes to figure out how to get off a social media site. And the truth is, you can't. Not really. You can play the "Deactivate Account" game with them, but they will still retain your data, plus anyone who ever scraped the site will have it all.

So I attempted to deactivate my personal Twitter account, and I was fairly confident that I'd done it right. I never logged into it again, and I forgot about it for months, much longer than the deletion deadline. Well one day I found a link to it, and I followed that link and found my account live. Of course, none of the passwords worked, and I couldn't log in, nor recover the account, to deactivate it again. All I had was a lone TOTP code cycling in my Authenticator. I wrote to Twitter Support and I pleaded with them and said I could furnish the code and they were implacable.

So my Twitter account is out there, frozen in time, unrecoverable and undeletable. It could happen to you. Be very careful when you create a Social Media account, because it'll follow you for the rest of eternity.
