No mandate. However chromebooks when they came out were a HUGE improvement over low end windows laptops. They are crazy durable, include instructions for when you pour soda into the keyboard, are durable enough to be thrown, leave a mark on the ceiling, and still survive. They run well even on old hardware, 4GB ram is plenty. They also don't get viruses, don't require any local expertise, don't require backups, don't require any software licenses, no virus scanning, and have minimal requirements from central IT. If a student manages to kill one you can literally just hand them another and say login.

So the savings in hardware costs, reduced support costs, and the "it just works" design is pretty attractive to school districts. Who'd have thought a $180 laptop could be durable, useful, no crapware/malware/ransomware, and last a decade?

Sure it would be nice if it didn't depend on google, but nobody else was stepping up.

My kid has had three over the last decade, the last we paid $50 to keep when she graduated. It's still being used years later.

These were likely sold down due to demand imbalance or more likely due to QA failures in the disabled cores. It's a lot cheaper to get some value from a defective chip than no money. So... by all means try to unlock more cores but don't start whining when your computer acts like Windows ME on a good day (only crashing a few dozen times a day! So stable!)

For the specific case of "burning" some Linux distro's installer to a USB drive, I've always found those .img files much easier to deal with than ISO files, simply because a single dd(1) invocation is all I need to "burn" the image onto my drive.

I figure this is probably the vast majority of people who install Linux from a physical device rather than network booting. (I have dealt with PXE about a decade ago but I can't figure out how to use it anymore.)
Well it's coreboot, you can compile it yourself if that's something you're worried about.
BEAM isn't magic scaling sauce, and you're going to run into trouble if you get big enough. But that's a "good problem to have". And it's probably 'enough' for many businesses as-is.
My (now suppressed) comment was actually about a sense of personal shame, not public shaming, (which I see as most often destructive)

Unfortunately, my writing was unclear and many people (understandably) misunderstood the context. Sorry about that.

MSDS for H2S - https://www.airgas.com/msds/001029.pdf

The Occupational Exposure limits are fairly low 'ppm' numbers, and LC50 is 712ppm for 1 hour. (That is the concentration at which 50% of the exposed rats died.)
> The supply and install problem clearly isn't that hard, auto makers have been doing it for many decades at this point.

Are you referring to the legacy auto manufacturers that still can't make EVs profitably in 2023? Perhaps Ford with its negative 58.9% EBIT margin on their EV division [1]?

Of course you can "solve" a more complex supply-chain and multiple vehicle configurations. It just costs more money. And therefore reduces your profit margin. If you do too much problem-solving of this type, your margin might end up negative. Not every EV manufacturer can subsidize their EV business with a high-margin ICE business.

Indeed. Or, more generally, don't over-define your data model. Keep it as simple as possible (but no simpler.)
Not sure what you're getting at, but the back seat example here has all the same issues I pointed out above. They actually would weigh even more than seat heaters. I only gave some examples above of why it's bad but there are many more off the top.

Either way if I truly think I am right, then BMW, etc should just go ahead with this plan. It should be a money loser for them in the long run. But on second thought why burn all this CO2 just to prove a point. We should probably collectively put a stop to it sooner rather than later.
Fissionable resources are plentiful and we've barely started to extract them.
You add yet another account you need to manage, and it's very easy for your private information to be visible in screenshots/casts, in a cloud managed by the makers of a screenshot app.
I skimmed the docs for multiple hypervisors (qemu, vmware, virtual box, hyper-v), it looks like only Qemu can directly boot the raw image, but everything else can convert the raw image to a native format and then boot it. It does take an extra, often command line only step to get it booting though which is less than ideal.
> What the studios are fighting for is the right to hire a person for a single day's labor, scan them, and use those scans in perpetuity for any purpose.

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.
Now that you put it that way, I guess it does make a lot of sense.
1 second of jail for every second of American time wasted
Seeing this gives me the same warm, fuzzy feeling I had when I jailbroke my first iPhone to gain features that were impossible otherwise.

I wonder if Tesla will start using physical one-shot fuse bits buried deep in hard-to-access components (eg. hardwire a heater control relay open in the final programming step at the factory) to make these type of attacks more difficult. Of course that would preclude up-selling the feature later.
What's so hard about having overhead wires?

That's just how GSM is. Keep in mind that back in the day, your device attached to the modem might not have been very smart or interactive. The service center has the ability to CRUD everything on the modem via AT commands.

> The reason it's an auction house in the first place is because these ad networks have no clue in the slightest how valuable the ad space or any particular impression is and only care about user data collection inasmuch as it convinces publishers to bid up the price.

You're completely clueless, just stop talking.

First, the "ad network" in this case and the "publisher" are the same thing. Second, nearly all of effective modern performance ad buys on the major publishers (Meta/Google) outsource most of the targeting to the publishers via tools like lookalike audiences (Meta) or dynamic search ads (Google), all of which are powered by user data. In fact, the publisher's loss of performance data via IDFA was the entire reason why losing IDFA was so bad for Meta. It wasn't that the buyers couldn't close the loop on who was converting (they could), it was that the publisher couldn't close the loop on who was converting (super important for targeting). The idea that buyers drive conversion and the publishers have not much to do with is wrong. It's blatantly obvious you have no direct experience in this area, and no idea what you're talking about.

Sources:

- Spent over $100m on performance ads

- Started and ran an ad attribution company

- Ran the team that built the Reddit ads platform and know how hard it is to make a performance ads platform work as well as Meta or Google (basically impossible)
Fossil Fuel extraction is still growing.

In the future, I think they'll know exactly what happened in 2023. And it won't be thought of kindly.
Try going "Hey boss, I need 20k for some servers I'm just going to let sit in their shipping boxes in case we need them later." (or you can install them but not use them for anything).

I like that ISOs are easy to inspect with user space tools without mounting.

With a disk image, I would need to identify the file system and go hunting for tools that can do this.
>Well run software companies with tidy, well architected software need far fewer devs than the ones with nasty bloat and a lot of legacy problems

This is the way to do this. If more of these scam calls & texts are found to be coming through certain pipes, fine those parties, jail those parties so that there is an incentive to stop it. I don't know why its taking them this long to figure this out.
There are already third party garages offering to unlock various things for less than Tesla wants (or upgrades Tesla simply doesn't sell).

They tend to involve a gizmo intercepting can messages though. The gizmo is usually keyed to the serial number of the car so you can't clone/move/resell them.
Obligatory XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1162/

Same here. That's a pretty broken hiring process.

I hope whenever you need a service from any other company for your own company to keep working (hosting, mailing, analytics, etc) they respond you with "We will inform you within 2-weeks if we are interested in learning more about you".

You should understand that by hiring people you're not making anybody a favor (it's a contract between both parties, both benefit).
There's a piece of software that's used by insurance companies for providing online quotes that (used to) contain some pretty egregious SQL injection vulns.

When this was discovered during the development of an integration, their solution wasn't to fix the disgusting spaghetti of SQL functions causing it, their recommendation was to use Javascript to remove any special characters from html inputs.

> Anyone who's worked inside a large organization knows the cloud is the solution to be able to get things done and deliver value to the business.

Nah. Multiple F500s to include manufacturing, railroad, and aircraft. Pick an industry, been around it.

3 for 3 -- large cloud rollouts clobbered the IT team and blew OpEx out of the water. Saw VPs catch an axe for it, and at least one CTO get nailed with embezzlement accusations due to a "cloud consulting" company he had ties to, and who managed to get a no-bid contract for north of 400k.

Never been anywhere that it wasn't a kind-of-clusterfuck, and the only answers in reply I've seen were No True Scotsman-type "you're just not embracing the cloud and it's changes to processes bla bla bla".
I don't think anyone's taking a soldering iron to their on-board computer in a standard ICE vehicle. The fact that tesla has vehicle control code running on it (beyond your typical lane assist) makes this infinitely worse. Or am I missing something? I get that people disagree with these features being locked down and I agree. My point is this isn't like changing a cold air intake in your ICE car. This can have you go into a fucking wall at high speeds.
> It is the same way with traditional hypothesis testing. You take two models and compare their likehood.

With a Bayes factor you compare the marginal likelihood. You have to account for the weight of the parameters according to the priors. With a likelihood ratio, you pick the best parameters and take the ratio of those likelihoods.

This means a model used in a Bayes factor must be able to make predictions that follow probability axioms. Models in likelihood ratios don’t have this restriction.

I agree likelihood ratios and Bayes factors are similar. They’re also different.
You're not wrong that you almost certainly will want to finetune it to your use case.

I'm looking at it from the perspective of the "tinkering developer" who just wants to see if they can use it somewhere and show it off to their boss as a proof-of-concept. Or even deploy it in a limited fashion. We have ~6 developers where I work and while I could likely get approval for finetuning, I would have to first show it's useful first.

On top of this, I think that for many use cases the given censored version is "good enough" - assigning IT tickets, summarizing messages, assisting search results, etc.

Given the level of "nobody knows where to use it yet" across industries - it's best that there's already a "on the rails" model to play with so you can figure out if your usecase makes sense/get approval before going all-in on finetuning, etc.

There's a lot of companies who aren't "tech companies" and don't have many teams of developers like retail, wholesalers, etc who won't get an immediate go-ahead to really invest the time in fine-tuning first.
The biggest issue is random arrest, randomly refuse to let you leave the country. Even if for non political reasons, if you have ANY sort of business dispute, or personal dispute (valid or not) that can get you flagged.

And totally lack of transparency regarding the process or rules.
That doesn't even account for the scams, life savings lost, ruined relationships.
There's a lot of folks with a vested interest in pushing a hydrogen future (market participants who will see financial loss as fossil fuel use declines, natural gas infra, automakers who are trying to cling to non battery platforms), so it takes orders of magnitude of additional effort to bring folks back to boring, reliable tech (overhead wires or charging points) and batteries versus the "innovator hand wave" of various colors of hydrogen marketing (green, blue).

Building new catenary systems can be expensive (anywhere between $1M-$5M/mile in the US), but can possibly be avoided with batteries and charging at stations (or energy provided via rails).

By default, calls ring or vibrate constantly so that you don't ignore them. Because they're intended for synchronous communication.

Notifications (including voicemails) are just a short ping, jumbled in with all your other notifications. Because they're intended for async communication.

So no, by design, your phone is meant for you to notice somebody calling more than a voicemail being left.
Recorded, definitely based on the fact that Tesla employees were sharing various "funny" clips from these cams among themselves.

Morocco has been working on this plan for ages. Coast to coast (~3000 miles) in the US is much less than 9%. It's possible with current technology, just nobody has the inclination to execute right now.
Sometimes.

But do you really need to support a browser that less than half a percent uses? And isn't the fallback that HTML offers out of the box good enough then?

Sure, there are those rare cases where you build an appointment system for a hospital and where laws (rightfully!) dictate that the date picker must be both accessible and working on anything from IE6 to the browser on the first Wii.

"China does seem to portray itself as very anti-Western, anti-American"

Anti-American and the anti-Western feeling exists all over. Just have to the scratch the surface to see it. The west is not worth emulating anymore unless you want to be the kardashians or something. China is expressing it more openly, cuz they arent as dependent on the west as much as the result of the world is.

Sure, technically true, but it's not the same experience as running Debian (for example) on bare metal.

For one thing, ChromeOS refuses to pass through certain USB devices to the Linux container. So if you wanted to customize the settings in your gaming mouse or control a 3D printer, you're out of luck.
Doesn't the Mazda CX-5s all ship with Android Auto and Apple Carplay by default?
I feel like it's improved steadily over time. I used to find it severely lacking for anything code-related, but that's improved, too.

It's not as good as Google was at its peak (and Google itself has degraded severely in quality, IMO), but it's good enough that I can generally find what I'm looking for with a minimum of effort.

I run maybe 1 in 40-50 searches with "!g" because Brave is insufficient, for context.
Do they offer shared IPv4 addresses with routing by HTTPS SNI?
You’re mistaken. “The Crown” is the legal name of what is a private entity that looks and acts as if it’s a public one. It’s one of the deepest rabbit holes on Earth, and not even a conspiratorial one, just the sort of organisation that takes great pains to hide and occlude what it is. See my post elsewhere on this page.
Assuming you even have access to the storage repository where your disk images reside. Which you don't immediately do in many cases.

Yes, for sure it can be done. But unless you have a habit of doing it it is likely going to be much quicker to boot from a live ISO and do it from there. And by then it all seems rather ridiculous.
There's one on there that's $28.58 - $8,000.00 per hour that's especially hilarious. Assuming 40 hours a week for 52 weeks that's roughly $60k - $16.6 million for a salary range. Obviously bogus.
If the feature is built in to the car from the factory and disabled via software so they can charge more then you are already paying for the parts and lugging around the added weight in the vehicle thus costing you more in fuel. Software locking a hardware feature that is integrated is an awful practice.

Telsa chose to do this presumably to only have to buy a single seat configuration and streamline installs so they could hit production quotas.

Edward Tufte used to give seminars on good data presentation and he used a ton of early modern examples to derive a cogent albeit not uniquely determined philosophy of data design that mixes images, diagrams, and text to densely and cogently communicate.

Naturally the Q&A was 90% microsofties trying to tell him how their UI is actually good design, right? I was impressed by his heroic effort to not crash his face into his palm.

I think I luck out and have a Steam cache in my geographic region. I often find the downloads from Steam max my net connection (1500Mbps), decompression almost takes longer than the transfer in my experience.

How do you find the download speeds from Steam?
This is a hidden price hike. It would be more reasonable if there was a corresponding decrease in server costs.
On ELB yes.
Alternative thesis: OP picked an especially rare and expensive to produce first edition hand colored (!) copy of the Hortus Sanitatis which isn't representative of books from the early printing press era. If you look at the digitized copy from a later 1497 printing [1], the illustrations are all black and white although still beautiful. The first editions were colored because it was such a landmark textbook meant to be distributed to the fledgling academic class and royal libraries who were still used to commissioning expensive works from scribes. Today's equivalent would be those really expensive reference books found in college libraries that can only be used on site, except even more expensive and valuable.

Before governments started to introduce the early incarnations of copyright, printing was the wild west for over a century. Printers often copied the works of their rivals without any attribution or permission, resulting in numerous nearly identical editions of popular texts flooding the market and competition driving profits to zero. Printers raced each other to find original content and a ton of it was equivalent to today's mass market paperbacks.

Trashy adventure novels about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table were especially popular during this era, along with each and every translation of a classic text no matter how fanciful. They really didn't put as much effort into those as they did with first-of-its-kind textbooks and color printing didn't become widespread till later in the 16th century. Survivor bias is also at play since the books that survive tend to be the higher quality ones with color prints.

Its pretty clear that isn't the case since there are viable alternatives and people have to go out of their way to install Chrome to begin with. If most people hated it, they would just install Firefox instead (or use Edge or Safari)
Who wants to go live on Mars, really? Spoiler: you can't survive outdoor, there are no animals there, no trees, no flowers, it's basically a big desert.

Wanna go further? Proxima Centauri (the next star) is really, really far. Actually even a lot further than that. We definitely won't go there, unless we discover completely new physics (but it does not seem rational to count on that). So it's either Mars, or something that looks like Mars (I don't know, Venus maybe?), or living in a spaceship. Which is a bit like living on Mars, but worse.

Let's try to survive on Earth first, shall we? Because right now we (as a species) are failing. And not because of external factors: just because of us.

Coming from an American perspective (where, when you are in public, you have basically no expectation of privacy), this seems insane.

Does this mean that if I'm filming a vlog at Brandenburg Gate (which inevitably includes video of other people in the background enjoying the area), I'm in violation of privacy laws?

Does that mean if I take a video selfie of me and my family members (which, again, includes images of others in the background, and which is automatically uploaded to icloud) I'm a data processor and am in violation of privacy laws?

I assume there is some line here, but I can't think of the logic separating a person's dashcam from my examples?
