> The government can’t monitor their contents when it’s encrypted

Constitutionally, it can monitor it.

Whether it is able to understand it is a separate question.

Though, yes it can and has accessed the content of encrypted data, whether because the encryption was broken in advance, or later because it recorded the contents and gained the information necessary to penetrate the encryption later, either through cryptanalysis or by other means of gathering intelligence.

> and in either case can’t meaningfully exclude people in the US from receiving the transmissions, which was supposed to be the rationale for the search.

Yes, there are some methods of getting data into the country for which the government’s ability to mitigate the effects of that are more limited, that is neither a legal nor much of a practical argument against mitigations measures where they are practical.
I think European Citizen, it's been a while since I checked but they specifically mentioned Swiss citizens in the documents that I read.
Hello! I think your comment is missing some facts that might change your opinion:

1. Open-source software is a gift to the world. You make it, release it, and people can do whatever they want with it, including not contribute back. There is no exploitation here. You can build a trillion dollar business on top of Linux, without paying Linux anything. This is how open source is meant to work. This is the known contract when you release something as open source. To imply that by following the spirit of open source, somehow HashiCorp, a 5 or 6 billion dollar company is being exploited doesn't quite jive, IMO.

2. HCP has been clear that they will not put forth resources to review pull requests. They let many good pull requests languish until they die. If HCP were better stewards of the Terraform community and prioritized contributions, would things be different? I don't know. But I think if one is going to say the competitors should have contributed to Terraform, one also has to acknowledge that HCP has explicitly stated they are not going to prioritize reviewing your contribution. If you're looking for the best way to spend your engineering time, the best business decision for you is probably not to spend a lot of time on a piece of work that may die in the vine.

3. But it's not even just to say none of these folks have contributed back. They may not have many commits in the repository, but Gruntwork has created Terragrunt, which is free and open source. This has impacted the community considerably. The founders have written a book on Terraform.

4. Where is HCPs acknowledgment of all of the people that saw Terraform as stable open source foundation to build providers for, to build tooling for, to contribute pull requests to? Terraform itself is pretty simple, the hard work is in the providers. HCP makes some of the important providers, yes, but so many providers are made because Terraform is popular. HCP wants to make this all about them. They want you to think they put all the work into making Terraform what it is today. They did put a lot of work in, but the community did too!

That is not always possible because valuable things sometimes have to be demonstrated to be understood. Not all things can be explained in the abstract, sometimes you have to build the thing first before people understand how useful it is.
I haven't touched Oberon since the 90s. But it was a fun little system.

The language is one of the nicer Pascal descendents. The windowing system was similar to tiling. The entire system was tiny in terms of code. Everything was black and white.

One of the nicest features was universally embeddable widgets. You could make a simple clock and embed it in running text, for example. Kind of like what OpenDoc dreamed of, or Google Wave's inline widgets, or what it might be like if you could extend Discord with custom UI in a few hundred lines of code.

I wasn't motivated to keep using Oberon—it was honestly too odd and too small to compete with my other desktop options.

But I do agree it would be neat to try with an eInk display. It's a small, interesting, black-and-white system with a minimalist UI. Particularly if you customized the UI input layer, it could be a neat tool for building small household dashboards.

I'm not a member of your imagined urban-illuminati (I live in suburban ky) and I think you're off base here. The majority of cars on our roads are huge and it's annoying. Forget emissions, waiting for some dork to 14 point park a bonafide land whale into a parking spot from the 1980's is enough to convert me. Living amongst these things is a pain and it's not like you're gonna wanna walk or bike anywhere with people going beast mode in these.

Would it kill these safety ratings agencies to add a new metric that's an inverted star-rating for how much a vehicle can flatten a Honda Civic? Start slapping Kill-Death ratios onto cars and I bet we'd see consumer preferences change fairly quickly. While we're at it we could roll back some of the MPG laws that heavily favor "light trucks" (big cars) over small ones too. No heavy handed bans necessary - give more information to consumers on how their cars are literally pancaking their neighbors and more choice in what kind of cars are profitable to make.

I'm a practical guy and I often eye picking up a truck just so I can be the bigger car when some idiot driving a tank inevitably hits me, and that sucks - those things are expensive. I want to buy a smaller car, a cheaper car, and I can't do that while most of the cars on the road are capable of projecting of anything under 3000lbs onto graph paper.

Median weight of USA cars: 4,094lbs.

I was actually just playing around with AWK as a backend for CGI. Busybox provides both an AWK implementation as well as an httpd server that supports cgi hosting (https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/webserver/http....).

AWK is definitely limited as a language, but IMO it’s a saner choice than going with BASH.

It’s also been interesting to integrate with SQLite by interfacing with it through AWK’s “pipe to variable” mechanism.

>> What happens when the underclasses of the world stop being underclasses?

The cost to produce goes up.

Well, UK inflation is higher than average, so maybe there's your answer.
Precisely. And I am not defending the “interest free for a while but you’ll never pay it off and then get hit with 30%” crowd, although I do think it’s laid out pretty clearly in the paperwork. People do choose to live beyond their means. It’s a massive mistake.

But that’s not what Apple is doing here.
It seems like paying more than $11/hr would help reduce the labor shortage you are facing.

From my American coastal perspective, $11/hr sounds ridiculously low here and I know for a fact that most childcare workers are paid considerably more than that here. I have relatives who work under the table doing childcare so they don’t even have any minimum wage/labor protections and they still make more than that. I don’t perceive the cost of living in the UK as particularly less so I am confused how this can be justified.

e: I see now that you are talking about elder care but I feel like the rates would not be so dissimilar.

upvote here - security is not the only consideration in a post-industrial civilization -- by requiring certificates at all times to publish on the open web, you have created a certificate authority that will expand and expand again. Secondly an "individual PC" will not be trusted to publish web content, it has to be from a "trusted" IP address, preferably cloudy with constant internal logging. This is already happening.

Is the opposite better? zero certificates and any operator with any motive? no it is not better. Neither is better.. there have to be tradeoffs.

safety != security != police-state
AVs, like Uber, will give the affluent class in cities an alternative to public transit (and inconvenient personal car ownership), thereby reducing the pressure from this politically influential segment of society to keep mass transit clean and safe, and with good schedules and routes. Mass transit quality drops to the detriment of the majority, further reinforcing the affluent class's reliance on cars, creating a vicious cycle of destruction.
AI layperson here. Is there something like an MRI scan for a neural network?

Imagining I could take a foundation model, run it on my specialized task, and measure which regions of the neural network light up.

Then I could carve out unused regions of the network to create a more lightweight model.

Or is this a silly idea?

> Home-schooled children have attended Ivy League schools and won national spelling bees. They have also been the victims of child abuse and severe neglect. Some are taught using the classics of ancient Greece, others with Nazi propaganda.

So ... just like kids in public school?

Somewhat orthogonal to the article: In my state a lot of people were forced to home-school during Covid, and a significant percentage of them continue to do so. They found the experience and outcomes a lot better than what they had been getting at the public school. I listened to their experiences on a local radio show, and was fairly disappointed with the home school curriculum - it was far more focused on alternative subjects not taught in schools, and quite a lot of the "usual" curriculum was omitted (very little math, for example, and if they did teach science, it was with a lot less rigor). It was almost 80-90% about "experiential learning" vs "book learning". I get the value of experiential learning and do agree public schools have too little of it, but I fear these kids are being cheated out of the possibility of getting into STEM - there's no way they can do anything in the hard sciences without some good foundations.

The other thing that always confounds me: Virtually every study out there shows that on average, by a certain age, home school kids outperform public school kids in most/all arenas (social, academic, etc). At worst they perform at the same level. The parents are very happy with the outcomes. I've known homeschooled kids that are easily 2 grades ahead of where they would be at a typical public school - and with no social shortcomings whatsoever, but they may be outliers as the parents were brilliant themselves.

So, both anecdotal and research shows it to be superior. Yet most adults I've met who were home schooled as a kid are unhappy with their parents' choice.[1] I suspect it is akin to how most people overvalue what they don't have, seeing only the benefits of what they've been deprived and not the downsides.

[1] Although as I write this, I realize I should account for the fact that many/most kids really hate their school experience - particularly high school. So perhaps the home schooled kids aren't any less satisfied with their education experience than typical public school kids.

There is a number of Brexit voters that voted yes to "keep the paki out".

It is not only the Polish or Italian immigrants like me that compose low wage immigration; in fact, non-EU immigration is higher than ever.

And I'm not even touching the fact that immigration is a great economic boost, but tends to be misconstrued as a negative to avoid by politicians, as if migrants come and sit on their arses living on benefits.
I homeschool my two kids. I was worried about the time commitment at first, but it's honestly quite small. At most, I spend two hours in the morning for both kids. Typical mornings are an hour to an hour and a half. Some subjects like social studies we do together (my kids are two years apart). Others, like math or language arts, are per child (I usually have the other one read or practice piano when giving a one-on-one lesson). My wife does a lot of the supplemental activities like taking them to our co-op or to museums.

A lot of time in public schools is either wasted or simply a consequence of classes having ~30 students each. I also find that homeschool kids can be taught the discipline to work on their own after a lesson. I check the work in the evenings or before school starts in the morning.

I can understand why many people might not want to homeschool, but I find it's been a blessing for my kids & our family.

windmill.dev is a modern take on Huginn: optimal performance, great DX, scale to any cluster, work with python, typescript, go, bash, and flows that are more powerful.

n8n is great because their UX is simple and they have many well-made integrations, including an automatic way of setting up the webhooks in your github account for instance to trigger automation on changes to your repo.

Windmill is less about having many integrations, and more about being able to write real code-based workflows, running on your infra and with potentially long-running jobs that you can assign easily to bigger nodes. It's a compromise between n8n and temporal for the workflow part.

Anyway, n8n was a precursor in many aspects and a great inspiration for all of us building workflow engines.

Sport in general is a cultural phenomenon and it seems that all cultural phenomena share a lot of similarities.

Genetics however is not only a useful model, it's hard science. You can experimentally find out whether some characteristic is e.g. Mendelian (I'd doubt the greed is, as normally defined).

It got me thinking that to cross the two domains, there is also a meta-concept of cultural viruses ("memes") to which Dawkins applied Darwinian model. Definitely not hard science, but they kind of counter your point that "there's NOTHING natural about our economic systems".

Still we've been downloading binaries for decades and the world hasn't ended, this issue never warranted people treating it like nuclear war was imminent and hurling abuse into Dtolnay's github issues like he was a child pornographer. There's a way to have a discussion about this being the wrong direction without doing that.

And I'd encourage everyone to take an honest audit of how many precompiled binaries are in their lives, even if they've switched to NixOS and how much stuff they trust downloading from the internet. Very few people achieve an RMS-level of purity in their technological lives.
Having a wordvfor it tells you "This is an established thing people do".

Credit cards are not the same, as they are general purpose and cause people to often spend beyond their means because of the concept of a minimum payment and interest. It’s awful, if you keep a balance, and many do because they have no other choice (can’t pay for food or rent, for example) but many also do because they live beyond their means (which is a huge mistake).

But that isn’t what Apple is doing, and the details matter.

Apple Pay Later lets you split a purchase into four equal payments over six weeks with no interest or fees; not years without a thought of paying it back. There isn’t even a hard credit inquiry, so it doesn’t hurt your credit.

The only fees of any kind associated with Apple Pay Later are insufficient funds fees or overdraft fees from your bank if you don’t have sufficient funds.

I have a side question. Is there just an entire industry of anonymous low cost labor countries that YouTubers outsource their video compilation to, where the service is to gather 300 random clips that vaguely relate to the text being spoken, but are not the person's own work or research?

Without even realizing it for a while, I started to mistake a video that basically stated someone's collected assertions/opinions/variously supported research with pseudo documentary journalism because of the huge number of video clips being played as the person spoke.

Or these amount of clips are just needed to hold someone's attention if the person making the video is only doing a voiceover? I guess otherwise, nothing distinguishes the video from a podcast.
It says "the sum of all the proper divisors", not "the sum of a sequence consisting of all the proper divisors". It makes no sense to consider repetitions there (it gets easily reduced to absurd when you do), and it's already clear from the definition without even having to look at examples.
