One detail I enjoy from this post is that sometimes you can just call a CLI[0]. It's easy to spend a lot of time figuring out how to expose some Rust/C code as a library for your language, but I like the simplicity of just compiling, shipping the binary and then calling it as a subprocess.

Yes, there's overhead in starting a new process to "just call a function", but I think this approach is still underutilized.

Exactly. Laws rarely actually conflict, you just have to obey the stricter one.

(Personally, I would like to see a federal law that says that if there is an actual conflict the higher authority wins, or if that's not an option the person/company can choose which one to follow--document it and tell anyone trying to enforce the other to pound sand.)

More likely is cases where multiple jurisdictions want their piece of the pie. For example, the house mentioned in this thread straddling a line and getting taxed by both. Or contractors that need licenses for each area they might reasonably work--in all too many cases this is just a revenue grab.
This is pretty much the inevitable end-game of the web, in no small part funded by ad-based business models (as the analog gap pretty much destroys most attempts to use this stuff to do copy protection) and enabled by developers who have insisted we shove as much difficult-to-implement functionality (by which I am talking about CSS complex stuff, not powerful-but-easy-to-code APIs for OS-level access) into the browser as possible.

The result: there is now effectively one dominating web browser run by an ad company who nigh unto controls the spec for the web itself and who is finally putting its foot down to decide that we are all going to be forced to either used fully-locked down devices or to prove that we are using some locked-down component of our otherwise unlocked device to see anyone's content, and they get to frame it as fighting for the user in the spec draft as users have a "need" to prove their authenticity to websites to get their free stuff.

(BTW, Brave is in the same boat: they are also an ad company--despite building ad blocking stuff themselves--and their product managers routinely discuss and even quote Brendan Eich talking about this same kind of "run the browser inside of trusted computing" as their long-term solution for preventing people blocking their ads. The vicious irony: the very tech they want to use to protect them is what will be used to protect the status quo from them! The entire premise of monetizing with ads is eventually either self-defeating or the problem itself.)

It would piss off the endgame crowd though, because all they want to do is get to max level as fast as possible so they can start farming.

Didn’t all of this literally just happen?

I do not mean to imply the economic frame is the only. Choosing the "correct" frame seems a modern folly. Instead, that frame is but one of many valid frames, yet valid it is. By using different frames we access different adjacencies in the concept space and by so doing can gain further insights through alternation.

False information like

Q: Who is buying this land?

A: XYZ Shell Corp (no connection to who is actually effectively buying and coming into control of this land)?

Obviously your argument will be "it's not false that XYZ Shell Corp is buying it," and sure, but it's obviously misleading in a way that affects the transaction, as it is specifically designed to do.

Hey, what is your IG handle?
Ok, I see your point. If the farmer were to grow a crop that didn't require such rapid harvesting, the workers would end up doing the same labor over a longer period of time which could allow them to have lower child care costs.

On the other hand, it would then take them longer in terms of calendar days to get the same income, and all their other expenses are likely to stay the same. If they normally moved on to other jobs after the harvest, this would mean reduced overall income. Also, the difficulty of the job is factored into the pay they receive (the article specifically says their hourly wage is higher than normal farm labor), so they would likely be paid less for this less demanding crop. It still doesn't seem like much of a solution.
> This is required to restrict users to certain commands with special shells like scponly or rbash.

I don't think this is some specific design goal of OpenSSH, I think it's just a side effect of how shell escaping works.

> When you keep in mind that the given command string will be parsed twice, first by your local shell and then again by the remote shell, it becomes clear why a running a remote ssh command behaves like this.

I get that this behavior may be surprising to new users, but anybody working with ssh regularly will encounter these kinds of escaping issues. SSH isn't even the only place you'll encounter this. Things like docker etc will have the same "problem".

In the case of ssh you can simply write your commands to a file and send them via stdin, or copy a script to the target.

The tone of this blog post rubs me wrong. Yes this is a footgun (in the same way many POSIX shell-related things are), but it's not like it's some "problem" with the design of SSH.
You've got a parcel of land. You are farming on it or renting it or doing something which generates income. Because of that, you discount your future cashflows and determine it is worth X. Disney comes along and estimates that with what they are going to do the land is worth Y, which is significantly higher than X.

If the land trades for any value between X and Y, you are both made better off by the trade.

There is nothing wrong with you trying to capture as much of Y-X as you can, similarly there is nothing wrong with Disney trying to capture as much as they can. Neither of you are "owed" the money and there is no such thing as an objectively "fair" price.
You made me check and I notice the same in my area, great deals indeed, thanks!

There are cases where I think corporate anonymity protects people. If you start a business in something that is targeted for harassment, I think you should be able to protect your identity. The downside of this is the risk of national security threats. But I feel strongly for people who don't want to be targeted for abuse.

In iOS you can set up screen time. I recently set it up for a limited amount of time every day, and had someone else set the passcode/recovery.

In the US (but not necessarily other jurisdictions), insider trading laws are not there to protect the broader market, but to protect other shareholders.

There is no assumption that you can’t trade on knowledge unavailable to the rest of the market just not information that should be available to other shareholders but isn’t.

It’s not about a working market it’s about preventing you from stealing from other people.

Lots of economists think insider trading should be legal, precisely because it would make the market more transparent, not less.
Speed of light.

Imagine a data center containing exabytes of data. How long does it take to access an arbitrary bit of that data?

We use clusters because computers cannot contain an infinite amount of memory, storage, or CPUs, because of physics. You see this same thing play out at smaller scales but it's more obvious at the macro scale. More addresses take logn time to sort out, but time to access is measured in radii, not gate depth.

In a world where clusters are rare, Knuth made decent approximations. In a world where clusters are not only de rigeur but hosted on multitenant hardware spread out over upwards of 100 miles, those approximations are bullshit and need to change.

> When you decide to hang out your shingle and profit at the expense of the general public

Whoa whoa whoa, you can't just assume that profits come at the expense of the public! There are plenty of businesses that provide valuable goods and services for which I am happy to pay their profit margin, because the value they are providing to me is at least that amount. There are entire companies that spend their entire day coordinating shipments of food for me, including out-of-season fruit and fruits and vegetables unavailable in my location. There are companies that have invested in hideously expensive fabs and detailed technical knowledge to bring my inexpensive microchips that make my first computer look glacially slow. I happily pay Apple's profit margin because I get great hardware that looks elegant and has an operating system that is both Unix and doesn't require me to futz with it. The list goes on. This Marxist idea that companies are inherently exploitative is just incorrect and unhelpful. (That doesn't mean that everything is necessarily great, though, just that it does not take into account the other, very real side. It's not like a society built on companies = exploitative has ever worked in the real world.)
That sounds like the state attempting to prohibit local regulation rather than the sort of conflict being discussed.

> Rebuilding a cluster from the last-known-good backup should not take that long

It's not even clear if that's the right thing to do as a service provider.

Let's say you host a database on some database service, and the entire host is lost. I don't think you want the service provider to restore automatically from the last backup because it makes assumptions about what data loss you're tolerant to. If it just works from the last backup, suddenly you're potentially missing a day of transactions that you thought were there that magically disappears as opposed to knowing they disappeared from a hard break.
I just received a next-day ACH via Apple savings to my credit union. CUs still have their allure, I'll never get over Wells Fargo charging me fees for minimum account balances when I was 18 and working for minimum wage.

Profiting by fixing problems is how we fix problems.

I will add that the pie has never grown faster, and shows every indication of speeding up.

Major challenges like climate change (challenges to the economy, that is) look relatively minor when you compare it to past issues like WW1, WW2, possible nuclear destruction, widespread famines as recently as the 20th century; and when you also take into account that we have proven tech like nuclear and solar power and greenhouse and hydroponic farming that we can now use to tackle this issue.

Climate change is an ecological catastrophe, but we'll find a way to grow wealthier with or without a thriving ecosystem.
Usually you use something like Nearmaps, Hexagon, or Vexcel.

These companies use multi camera oblique imagery that can get views down the side of houses were you can do a 'good-enough' job assessing at least some of the major factors for wildfire risk. Debris or outside storage would fall into this category.
Not really though. The .com crash was really about investors not understanding how to evaluate the profitability of products that have low or no marginal costs.

If anything, vertical farming is an example of the opposite - investors who are used to a low or no marginal cost businesses having to learn unit economics for the first time.
No, it's really not.

If it were, shell games would be great as well? One like the other is simply fraud. You exploit others' lack of insight.

Doing so is unethical due to the implications it would have on a societal level if it were condoned. In particular, you likely imagine yourself regularly ending up on the better end of the bargain. You are wildly mistaken.

Within EU markets heating is still the main thing in terms of the amount of energy consumed, but the same air-to-air heat exchanger hardware also does cooling during the summer.

I'd suggest you invest in e.g. Mitsubishi Electric and Daikin. They are the market leaders in that sweetspot of a) efficiency, b) quality/durability, c) demonstrated long term local support, d) price, IMO.

They are not European-based. They have product design in Japan, manufacturing in e.g. Thailand and sales/support offices in Europe.

Unlike other manufacturers, these companies actually listen to their sales orgs and adapt their products to suit the vastly varying climates of the EU.

Especially Mitsubishi Electric has a great reputation in the cold northern parts over the past 2 decades. Daikin is the challenger.

Orthogonal. Many open source projects have companies behind them, that doesn’t restrict what you can do with the license.
You are 100% right. Inequality can only be sustained when most people see a way up, so they feel "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" instead of being poor. When things get to a point where they feel like anything they do is a dead end and there is no chance of breaking out of poverty, that's when things get very nasty and society gets shaken up fundamentally.

Yes and no, with models like Stable Diffusion the team behind it has released metrics so you can see even on paper that the model has better performance than Dalle 2 (SD has a lower MS-COCO FID so it's better). For models like Midjourney there are no metrics, but the difference in quality is so big that there is no real need if you just want to know which model is better. On a high level, Dalle 2 is worse because it generates a lot of artifacts, no details whatsoever, it has a fixed resolution and aspect ratio, and the fact that the model is proprietary means that you can only do what is available in the frontend and API, and there is not much.
