> The studios have said multiple times that this is not true. Rather this is a fear that the union brought up, not an actual request from the studios.

Incorrect. The current contracts (and relevant laws) arguably[0] allow this already. Actors want to explicitly prohibit it, and the studios have said they want to preserve that option.

Whether or not the studios are claiming they want to exercise that option is irrelevant; their insistence on maintaining that option is one of the core sticking points of the entire strike.

If it is any of those kinds of tax, then so are all divided payments; this is something a corporation could just decide not to pay one year because it wants the money for investing in future growth or whatever else is the usual reason is for not paying dividends to shareholders.

The basic idea is that the state is there to create and ensure a free market exists, and that outside of that creating organs to redistribute wealth is an inefficient hack.

Glenn Beck, proving that broken clocks can be right, said something about Obamacare to the effect of: "this will cost close to $3 million per US citizen. why not just give the citizen that money, and let them fly to Korea or Mexico? prices may go up but the free market is still a thing and consumers could just go to Europe instead. Cut out the middle man"
There is zero relation between a "neuron" in neural networks and a real neuron. It's entirely marketing. The field of "AI" has always been quick to market their work as magic rather than be open and honest about the reality, which is why we have been through at least 3 AI winters already.

Well, there'd be no way for a firewall to block a request like:

dig -b peername data.data.data.data

And let the "name server" on the other end listening on port 53 parse the data. You _would_ have to be able to listen on port 53 and of course it would be slow as hell, but it's unblockable.

What I've used NAT for (for example in AWS), is that I've split the virtual network into "public" and "private" subnets. Public subnets are behind an internet gateway and are open to the internet, private ones are either only private with no internet access or behind a NAT gateway to allow connections to internet but not the other way around. My understanding has been that it's common practice, segmenting a network like that. I obviously would still configure firewalls for the devices in those different subnets, but what is this kind of NAT usage called if not security enhancement?

One thing that came to my mind typing this is, that the fact that there's NAT in there could mask problems with the firewall configuration, if one does not truly test whether the firewall rules are strict enough or not. So if those private subnets behind NAT would somehow magically be switched behind an internet gateway, security holes could emerge.

Isn't that fully borne by the manufacturer? Suppose you're the manufacturer of a car that costs $30k to make and sells for $50k. You're posed with the question of whether to add a non-functional part that costs $5k. If you add the part and don't raise the price, then you're eating a $5k loss. If you add the part and raise the price by $5k, you don't eat the loss, but it also means you could have charged $55k for the car. No rational consumer is going to be like "I would have paid $50k for this car, but now that it contains $5k of non-functional component, I'm willing to pay $5k more for it now!".

That's the point of the "hybrid-iso" format; you can dd(1) it to a USB drive and it will boot, and you can burn it to a CD/DVD and it will boot.

The list is very much Australian. As someone who has done land leasing for natural resources, you can rack up a pretty huge leasing position pretty quick (I know these people on the infographic own it, but back in the day it was pretty easy to just pay next to nothing for a lot of these parcels - Gina Rinehart has expanded her kingdom, but she inherited an awful lot from Langley). One time, I was looking at something for oil and gas exploration and they came back with a number of $20,000,000 - I was thinking, "Oh, that is going to be something, like, 20,000 acres, probably." They gave me the numbers and I converted it acreage, looked at it on a map and recalc'd a few times because I thought I was way off. Nope. It was just an equivalent acreage as Tennessee, that's all.

Everyone accepts a certain risk simply by driving, and we all have relative risk tolerance. Point in case: I knew of a 20-year-old driver who owned a nice, safe vehicle but was too afraid to drive on an interstate highway because they were afraid. That's not a "hunk of metal" issue but a risk-comfort "issue," which really is relative.

Regardless, your point highlights the eternal fight between liberty and "safety and security." A society which tolerates little risk seeks to minimize liberty and maximize safety and security. A society which tolerates much risk seeks to maximize liberty and minimize safety and security.

To use cars as the prime example: why am I required to purchase a vehicle equipped with airbags [1]? They're expensive, bulky, decrease fuel economy, and may cause harm to a passenger if it improperly inflates. By owning a vehicle, I assume sole responsibility for the correct and proper operation of it as well as the physical well-being of any passengers. Frankly, I should be able to purchase a vehicle equipped without airbags to decrease the overall purchase price, thereby allowing me to use that money on other things.

The same argument doesn't apply to certain things like ABS, which I argue should be regulated because poor braking affects people both inside and outside the car. Airbags, on the other hand, only apply to people inside the car. By carrying any passenger in the vehicle, the owner assumes legal responsibility for their safe carriage.

> I suspect the actual physical hardware modification line is the one that most users are going to be unwilling to cross unless they are in the "Download a Car" crowd.

Idk, hardware modification of the first Playstation that allowed to play ripped games became mainstream very quickly in my country (France) and you could even go to some shops that sold Playstations to get it done. It only stopped when it was made openly illegal.

“I paid for this shit, I do what I want with it” is a very powerful sentiment (and a legitimate one actually: corporation adding “Digital Right Management” system to deprive people from their property right is dystopian as hell).
I disagree with the premise of locking someone out of something they physically own. You HAVE the seat heater in your car, the wiring works, you just aren't allowed to turn it on. I don't see this as the same as a basic vs premium version of a piece of software. The person owning the car owns the heater, the car, the wiring, they have to pay the miniscule extra cost of carrying that hardware around in their car. If Tesla offered to remove it at no cost if the car owner didn't want to pay the fee, I'd have no issue.

Where do you draw the line?

Next they'll be making you pay a fee to use low gears, or a power steering fee, a radio listening license, a Bluetooth permit, a reverse allowance, power window season pass, air condition authorization.

>The only way to "fix" that is to artificially raise the price of the product so effectively everyone is paying

You know what's better than "artificially raising the price of the product" so you can pay for the heated car seats or whatever? Raising the price of the product, and not installing the car seat in the first place and keeping the extra money for yourself. The idea that carmakers can pass the cost of software locked (ie. non-functional) parts to consumers makes zero sense.
I don’t see why the GitHub link is any harder to click than the tiny url link in that post.

I’m pretty sure the only reason url shorteners exist with purpose is because of Twitter limits (and software that doesn’t visually hide egregiously long urls), but continues to be used outside of those places due to cargo culting
I completely agree. It’s odd they would announce charging for dedicated IPv4 while not having a free shared egress solution (unless I’m misunderstanding).

I would expect them to reduce NAT pricing in the long run, but who knows.

>Congrats, you just provided a description of "power structures". Now you know.

The problem with a phrase like 'power structures' is people who use it get to define it to be whatever they want it to be. You're telling me here that it means 'incentives and organizational politics' (factors that affect any group of humans, regardless of the political 'power' of the group's constituents). But other places I see definitions like 'banks' or 'rich people.'

>Especially as a lawyer, you should know better than to put words in someone else's mouth - it leads to people distrusting what you say. I'll certainly be more closely checking what you're replying to from now on...

That's my reaction when someone tells me I'm a part of a power structure -- they're effectively calling me a fascist. I think it's a fair reaction given the way political conversations go these ways. I appreciate your attention to close reading, though, and am genuinely sorry to hear you don't trust my commentary.

`conn` is a magic argument isn't it? Like an implicit argument to this block of code?

That is one thing that really bugs me, is I can't automatically see where the arguments are coming from. I realize it makes code a little more verbose, but a requirement around explicitly showing the dependencies used is much more useful when you're refactoring, for instance, or scaling code.

not a hard requirement by any means, sure, and it definitely doesn't mean something won't scale as it were, however I am constantly frustrated by languages that allow for implicit scoped dependencies / arguments.

> Because they did ship like that, years ago - and some routers pretty recently would default "route all" unless they were in NAT mode.

And guess what: people used to connect their PCs directly to their DSL/cable modems and run PPPoE (or DHCP) on their Windows PCs directly, and their Windows PCs used to get assigned public IP addresses.

Times change. It's no longer 2003.

We've learned things in both the IPv4 and IPv6 space over the decades.
So one can never revoke access or change the access terms to one's own car/computer? That just seems wrong. I'm pretty sure Tesla can and does change access terms to their servers and charging networks.

Why would that be, except maybe in rare cornercases? You can electrify almost anything, and it'll be more efficient and less polluting.
At $45 a year per IP address you’d have to spend less than a man hour per address to even conceivably approach break even.

Never heard of EasyOS either so I looked it up. It's definitely in a pretty interesting niche:

In a traditional "full" installation, the filesystem occupies an entire partition, with the usual /etc, /bin, /usr, /proc, /sys, /tmp, etc. Easy does not install like this.
Easy installs to hard drive in what we call frugal mode, which occupies just one folder in a partition, allowing to co-exist with whatever else the partition is used for.
Installation is so simple: Just copy three files 'vmlinuz', 'initrd' and 'easy.sfs' into a folder in any ext4 partition, and that's it, Easy is installed. All that remains is to create an entry in the boot manager. [1]

Generally seems to be a highly stripped down, security focused Linux distro. No systemd, polkit, or even PAM. Heavily container oriented. Feels a bit like a lighter alternative to Qubes OS.

Counterpoint: My hobby projects all use AWS because that's what I am familiar with, and they have the cheapest prices. I also reuse a lot of resources like a database to further save costs.

If you publish through the MS Store, it only costs $19 to verify an individual (one off, not a subscription) and they sign it for you. So that's pretty cheap, well within the range of a hobby project.

If you don't have some kind of signed identity then the concept of "your own" app doesn't exist, so indeed in that model you get permission to do what you want more or less. That's why it requires administrator elevation, whereas real signed packages don't. Of course this model is identical to the normal pre-MSIX model where any app installer can fiddle with any other app's files.

You can put it in Trusted People, I think. I'd have to check the code to see where we put it.
