Presumably a criminal now no longer can install a piece of malware that looks into the memory of your browser to steal credentials in the first place.

They will now have to use old fashioned social engineering to make you cough up that credential to steal.
While there are concerns with the bidding process, I think this is a pretty big "nothing", in the grand scheme.

There is some pretty horrific anti-Boeing spin.

> Throughout this spring, NASA and Boeing had been working toward a July launch date of the spacecraft, which will carry two astronauts for the first time.

> Asked whether Starliner might be able to launch this year, Stich did not offer a concrete timetable. "We're not really ready to talk about a launch opportunity yet," he said. "We're going to work the technical issues first, and then we'll sit down with the Boeing team when the time is right and pick a launch target."

Reasonable and responsible as a response. However, Ars spins that response into:

> Such an answer suggests that Starliner's launch on an Atlas V rocket ... may very well slip into 2024.

I mean, a few month delay on a brand new space vehicle isn't "OMG, Boeing failed!"

But even that is not enough: Ars doubles down, and now NASA's refusal to provide a concrete updated launch date means not only is it "[slipping] into 2024", but apparently almost to 2025:

> Given the ongoing delays, it is now possible that Crew-9 flies next fall, before Boeing's first operational mission, Starliner-1.

Which is hilarious (ambiguity about launches) as NASA doesn't even know when in 2024 (except that it will be at least Spring) Crew-EIGHT will launch... (and neither NASA nor SpaceX itself has made any communication on Crew-9 launch timeframes.)

All 100% speculation. The "ongoing delays" in this context are "in June, Boeing announced that it would push back the July launch".

I also question Ars' framing of this as "losing money"... it's R&D expenditures.

Ars (and its Space editor, Eric Berger, who has written books about SpaceX) are pretty heavy proponents of SpaceX (which I generally am too, despite being less enthusiastic about its leader), and this article just reeks of subjective opinion, more so than objective neutrality.
Just because someone speaks some English, doesn't mean that they wouldn't prefer to use software in their native language.

Try selling English-only software in Europe and you generally won't get very far.
> we don't have a sound understanding of what the effects would be

Inaction is also a choice, and a terrible one.
AFAIK, Number 2 only didn't happen because of pushback. It's also not too late for that to happen should Microsoft decide to move with it.

FWIW I didn't think any of the previous things would turn catastrophic, but I do think this might. I work with a lot of web marketers and also with security teams, and they will both salivate over this. Between marketers and security teams, that's like 90% or more of the internet.

This change is laying a trail of metaphorical kerosene from the campfire. It's possible the fire won't spread beyond the fire ring, but it won't take much for it to escape and then it's going to be unstoppable.
Personally I find switching between workspaces annoying, but not particularly more or less annoying than switching between maximized windows on Windows. So I am curious what you specifically find annoying about treating maximized windows as workspaces.

(Also, note that you can hold the Option key and click on the green plus in the upper-left corner you will get the standard Windows maximize behavior, which macOS calls "Zoom". Even better, you can go to System Settings > Desktop & Dock > Double click a window's title bar to... and select "Zoom" to make this action even easier.)
This is a wall of text and links, most of which have nothing to do with my claims, or our discussion. I never said anything about whales or freshwater fish species. And I never claimed that _no_ fish populations are unsustainably fished, so finding a single one that is at risk is completely beside the point.

The only links that are sort of relevant are talking about "risk" of extinction, and frankly, I think that's kind of meaningless. Technically, every species on earth, including humans is at some level of "risk of extinction" from one thing or another. Considering how rare marine fish species extinctions are (especially caused by humans), I personally think we should be careful using that phrase. As someone who as actually done fishery population and health assesments, I can tell you that the phrase isn't much more than PR. It doesn't have any rigorous scientific meaning.

But even if that wasn't the case, the fact that some species in some places are at severe risk _still_ doesn't mean that commercial fishing everywhere is unsustainable. That's my entire point. That commercial fishing is extremely heterogenous. And it's _very_ easy to avoid bad fisheries and stick to good ones. Especially if you live in the US where _most_ fisheries are relatively sustainable managed (even more so if you stick to West Coast fisheries, which have some the best, most comprehensive and rigorous management policies on the planet).

You then moved on to freshwater fishes and whales, things I never mentioned. My guess is because those things are _actually_ at risk of extinction and so your case is much stronger. Unfortunately, they also have nothing to do with marine commercial fishing.

If you think that eating meat is immoral and you want people to stop for that reason, that's fine. But say that. Don't misrepresent the sustainability of commercial fishing.
There are so many regulations that congress would have to approve each one. They could have a large bill that has them all but imagine how often they would change especially if contentious.

One year there could be a requirement about emissions from cars then the next none. It would create chaos and damage the country in my opinion.
Not really. Firefox is a large majority of Mozilla and Mozilla's spending. Feel free to read over our financial statements to confirm this.
>Printers are crap even today.

If you stay away from the cheap consumer printers that are designed to sell ink cartridges, printers are not so bad. We have a Brother multifunction office inkjet printer that's been great, ink is reasonably priced (cheaper than the laser printer that we replaced with it), and it reliably prints around 5 - 10,000 pages/year as well as scanning almost as many pages. (Wife works in a state regulated industry and they require a lot of paper documentation, every year they promise to release the system that will reduce the need for so much paper, and it's always 6 months away)
I see no need to stop, perhaps the heat death of the universe will put an end to things but with strange eons past even death may die.
If you're sincerely interested the IPCC reports and their summaries describe the basic science and the projections and are surprisingly readable if you're willing to read scientific writing.
I think you may have misunderstood my comment, which was disagreeing with the parent comment.

I do not want those companies (or anyone, really) to be able to decide what is or is not an allowed hardware/software setup to access anything.
There is classified physical documentation that the IGIC is in possession of and has spent nearly four years verifying and found to be credible and corroborated by dozens of first hand witnesses over the course of their investigation.

Unfortunately all of that is still classified but congresspeople who have been briefed have been sufficiently motivated to introduce legislation to investigate further (as Chuck Schumer has recently done in the Senate).
Yes, and it doesn't seem necessary to collect, to begin with, to meet their intended goals.
I think you're talking about Academia, not science. The scientific method is not at fault here.
> 'ah well, glad I didn't have kids and I'm dead in the 2060's'.

My kids can't afford to have kids so that'll be how my line escapes.
If you think it's that simple you are exactly the kind of developer who would never have succeeded in programming the DEC Alpha. On the Alpha, even dependent loads and stores can be reordered by the hardware and observed in any non-program order on other CPUs. So if CPU 1 sets X to 42 and takes the address of X, and CPU 2 dereferences X, it can observe any value of X, 42 or whatever, even if both CPUs used explicit memory fences with regards to the address of X. This was so hard to grok that the Linux kernel was broken on Alpha during the entire lifetime of the CPU, not fixed until January 2018.

The Alpha is so weak and hard to use that half the C++11 explicit memory ordering stuff is only relevant to that CPU.
Dioxycle raises $17M to turn CO₂ emissions into sustainable chemicals
Oh, you're right on that one. Kind of entertaining that the AGPL is all about linking, and this is the linker.
A bunch of reiteration of what was previously described.

The one new thing is that David Grusch committed to immediately naming specific people, agencies, and locations where craft are supposedly stored to Congress.
The medium of a novel is different than the medium of a pamphlet or editorial. It will impact different people in different ways.
Ok, so since it is all "subjective" then you have to concede that a song which is just 1 hour of a single note being played is equally good.

Or maybe, instead of devolving into absurdity we can just say that there are come qualities of being better or worse that most people can agree on.

Of course, you can simply bite the bullet and say "yep. The song with 1 note in it is subjectively just as good".
Since there's going to be a lot of tiling WM users looking: what's the best way to get tiling WM and all the convenience of a "full blown WM like Gnome": things like Network Manager applet, bluetooth control, audio etc. all just few clicks away.
Everything is a psyop, huh?
Why would an FTC whose officers were appointed by congressional committee rather than the president be any slower to act?

I believe you are misunderstanding the potential change the Supreme Court ruling could have. Each regulation would have to be approved by congress, not appointments.
Fox frequently mentions Climate Change. They simply have a different point of view. People trying to address the issue are “alarmists “

I'd give way to say that the music from your teens and before. It's much easier to appreciate music from before your time than after your time for some reason. I'd guess nostalgia in part and because when you first heard the old music it was new to you and part of your nostalgia. So you don't experience it the same way that teenagers did when it was released but you have a relationship with it that is meaningful none the less.

That is a problem! But it can be solved by developing better tools and teaching kids to use em. We have access to magical oracles and immense problem solving capabilities right in our pockets, but it gets wasted and used for doomscrolling. Is it really the kid's fault if nobody in their lives is teaching them how to use these tools more effectively though? We should be developing problem solving toolboxes and teaching kids how to use them effectively.

When I was in school we had multiple seminars on how to navigate library systems and research data. Because it's not obvious to kids what capabilities are available from existing systems unless someone teaches them.

The problem with banning smartphones is that it will limit development of problem solving capabilities to the same tier as prior generations and fail to teach students how to maximally leverage the tools to which they have access.

Educational systems must adapt and evolve. The older generation is responsible for developing new tools and getting children acquainted with their usage.
BBC did a pretty good video [0] about it. Haven't really heard much about it since. Must be extremely exciting for scientists, as (to my understanding) this kind of self-fertilization is completely unheard of!

There’s plenty of content that Apple Music is missing. Just yesterday I wanted to listen to an album they don’t have, but I do on my personal server.

Streaming isn’t a perfect alternative to ownership (or piracy, in this case).
tl;dr version - Goldman Sachs was new to consumer banking and was eager to establish a deal with Apple...so it stupidly agreed to a deal that was great for Apple, but sucked for GS.
There is a different perspective on that from large acquisitions around firm fixed price contracts.

If you're doing some low risk building, say a 10 mile road on flat ground with known soil, replacing a previous road, that is well-known to current specs with set-in-stone requirements (no pun intended) it is easy to pitch that firm fixed price because the contractor will know exactly what to do, and there are 20 road building companies that could do the work.

Now, building an advanced spacecraft with a host of uncertainties in a vastly more complex environment that may require novel technologies development and a great deal of engineering is very different if you want to pitch that firm fixed price because the contractor perspective is that is very risky, and there are likely going to be changing requirements.

The contractors will want to make the Govt pay for that risk, since they are on the hook for it. All risk is on the contractor. The contractor will also fight for $ for every changing requirement.

By comparison, in a time & materials contract, the risk is on the government, and changing requirements don't matter much, if you change them, risk is still on the government.

This explains why firm-fixed price is not always the best approach, and sometimes time & materials contracts may make for a more economical acquisition approach - because risk and changing reqs can translate into dollars.

I mean, EM set the expectation with his free flow of information and anti-draconian dream. I'm curious to see if anyone honestly believed it.
We're a long way past source code being transmitted in magazine articles. Some of the people that are going to hand wave this away were born in the boiling water.
The Starliner was gone get built if they dropped 100M extra on Boeing or not.

There lots of more relevant and important technologies that need more funding.

The CommercialCrew program was not done for research, it was trying to solving a particular problem at the time and do it fast and efficently.

If NASA want to spend money on more experimental human spaceflight, the CommercialCrew program was not the place to do it.

> because developers gotta develop.

You're touching on the real problem, here. Software isn't broken, it's just that the inherent issues in capital are starting to become painfully clear in this context.

I've been trying to find a term for "behavior focused on maintaining your job when the need wouldn't exist without such behavior". It's kinda tangential to artificial scarcity but broader in scope, and if we don't have a term for it, we need one badly. So much of our society's resources are committed to solving problems that don't exist, because the actual problem is "you need money to live and for whatever reason the thing you do in the place and time you are isn't necessary or desired".
> I get a transcription and summary for every meeting that I'm in.

So it records and transcribes audio and stores it on your phone?

That's awesome! But I wonder what my corp security team would think about that. I would however love to have such a thing because I too am a bad notetaker, as I prefer to listen closely to what others are saying.
Here, have a white pill:

Last year, Two-thirds of Australia's Great Barrier Reef showed the largest amount of coral cover in 36 years. Corals have survived millions of years and are already bouncing back in other places as evidenced by the Great Barrier Reef, which we were all worried about not long ago.
Every tech company eventually erodes privacy. I'll bet this will erode security too.
pop-shell (can be used as an extension to gnome shell on most distros) has a toggle for tiling windows. Otherwise it's all the Gnome DE.
Basically, the ask for forgiveness approach. It's common in large, dysfunctional organizations as well. Sometimes the easiest way to get attention is to break things. Then once enough pain is felt, everyone starts taking interest. Trying to follow a proper change control based process only works when everyone is invested in the process.
We can move the "FTC" box on the org chart to be under a congressional committee rather than the president and let it operate exactly how it does today, just without delegating power to the executive branch, which already has too much

What about other agencies? The EPA for example? Now environment regulations will be a political game and could change drastically as congress swings right and left.
> I'd say at the very most it needs security updates.

and then you move the bar a little (although I agree):

> Bugfixes only, please.

I would also add updating to work with the current OS / hardware. (I have unusable games that are a recompile away from being usable.)

But I agree with the rest of your points. Especially when, in addition to asking you to fund new features, the new features make the app worse for your use cases.

However I don't know if the root cause is more accurately described as "developers gotta develop" or "product managers gotta produce".
> However, what is the societal problem here?

I would say yes. I think we need to place a lot more value in publishing research that isn't surprising. Research that simply replicates (or fails to replicate) other research should be just as valuable to one's career as finding something unexpected.

I scientist that has replicated a bunch of studies and identified several that they couldn't replicate is doing something very very valuable for the human race and we (universities, grants, etc.) need to recognize that.
That’s really not the point as far as I’m concerned.

It makes sense they would control it and it’s their platform, but in my opinion it was mishandled.

Taking an account without prior notice when this was supposedly planned seems like an obvious misstep.

This isn't a technology problem but a physics one: How do you sink a lot of heat energy from a chunk of material that responds to water by reacting and generating a lot of heat?

Gasoline carries much more energy than a lithium battery, but spraying it with regular water (I don't know if this is actually common) could disperse the fuel and sap the heat easily, killing two parts of the fire triangle.

You just can't do that with a lithium battery. Other fluids which can soak up massive amounts of energy have other problems, like being very toxic.

You can't disperse the fuel either, because lithium will react with water anywhere it finds it. There's not that much lithium in a battery, but it's enough to keep re-igniting the rest of the battery.
Nostr and SimpleX look promising.
Sure, but these aren't business model problems, they're business growth problems. The concern wasn't how to find 1B users in the world (and what do you have to do to get their money), it's whether scaling to 1B users inherently breaks the product, not just for individual users, but for all users.

If a company was only able to sell 2.6M copies of their digital software before running to expansion problems... good for them! That's a lot of sales and they probably made a great deal off of those sales. Sure, they can grow to 1B users, but they don't have to. There's no requirement for them to do that other than choosing to expand into those markets, and that's strictly optional. The business model is doing fine, there's no need to adopt a recurring payment system for ongoing maintenance.

And let's be honest, even if they do choose to expand into those other markets, the cost to convert the existing product to work in those markets is most likely less than the money they'll earn from selling in those markets, so... is there really a need for recurring payments to support maintenance? Will one-payment sale structures inherently fail to make the product profitable in a given market?
Tl;dr: not allowing data fabrication is some kind of lofty, unreasonable standard that doesn't allow science to be published.

Please.
To be clear, Canna doesn't host any of the pirated music, they just post links to file sharing sites that do. So this case is about DNS resolving the address of a site that links to other sites that host pirated content.

By that logic, Quad9 should block Google, Facebook, Bing, reddit, twitter, and honestly every social media site because they link to download sites where pirated content is available.
"but recent climate news has just gone from bad, to worse, to grim, to 'ah well, glad I didn't have kids and I'm dead in the 2060's'."

I'm in my mid-40s and don't have kids. In the last 5-6 years I've gone from figuring it'll be ok-ish in my lifetime but will suck for the next generation, to legit wondering if life will be a complete hellscape by the time I'm a senior citizen. And more important, what if anything that means in terms of how I live the rest of my life. For instance do I live life to the fullest now? Or do I skimp and scrounge now to have some hope of surviving when things really go sideways.

I hope that it's just doomerism on my part, but the fact that someone like myself is already putting mental energy towards this does say something in my opinion
Someone willing to enter into a SCIF with congress regarding these claims is most certainly more than a nothingburger.

I understand the skepticism but really think most of you don't understand that there's a lot going on in this hearing.
I literally just bought some nixtamal online the other day, I wish there were more shops that carried it.

More interestingly, I was extremely surprised to discover that nixtamal is completely absent in South America, despite the high consumption of corn products. I lived in Peru for a time, and buying nixtamal was impossible, not one vendor, physical or online, carried it.
A small contingent of about 25 EVs take responsibility for the operation, destroying thousands of their ICE foes.
No, you can’t investigate their claims, as you are not a domain expert. They rely on you trying, however.

And it is not a logical fallacy to disregard their argument entirely. I didn’t say they were wrong, I said they weren’t credible.
