Fortunately for me, most of the official documents here are digitized, and stored on government servers, so in the event of my death, my family can request access to relevant documents. That takes care of most of the official stuff. Also, everything legal i cosigned by my wife, so either one of us has equal access to it, but like official documents, these documents are also stored in government databases.

As for products, i have aimed to buy services that are easily transferrable, i.e. we use iCloud family sharing, meaning every user has their own storage, but they piggy back on my paid subscription. If/when i stop paying, they can chose to continue paying by themselves, and things will just "magically" keep working, but otherwise it's a tricky game.

As for memories, i store everything in the cloud. Most is encrypted by Cryptomator. I have a small server at home synchronizing data home in real time, and the server backs up data hourly to a local target, and a couple of times per day to another cloud.

I have thought long and hard about decentralizing this to let each users laptop do this, but with a family photo album of 3.5TB that would mean i lose deduplication.

It would also put much more demand on the client hardware, as it would need to be able to hold the entire photo library to back it up. I have LONG REQUESTED a way to backup iCloud data without the need to keep it all local, i.e. download upon use for backup, and delete again, but sadly that's not how it works. If your data is "cloud only", your backup will only backup file pointers, and not the actual photos.

Once every year i make Blu-Ray M-disc archives of the previous years photos, and to some lesser extent also documents. I make identical copies and store them in geographically separate locations. I use no encryption or compression on these archive discs. I also have a set of identical external USB drives that i update with the entire archive yearly and then rotate between locations.

I am fully aware that optical media may not be around for much longer, but that's a problem for future me. For now it is the best and most affordable "long term, no maintenance" storage technology available to consumers. Until an official "end of life" is reported, i will keep using it. Once it's EOL i can easily migrate my archive to "something more better", even if that ends up being just ordering photo copies.
"Your average user" does.
I was a product manager for a personnel tracking solution that relied on a bluetooth-like technology.

I don't remember how it started exactly, but given the number of cat owners on the team, I started joking that I wanted to repurpose our tech and start a cat tracking app called "locatify."

Not only has the name locatify since been taken, I keep seeing references to cat tracking solutions everywhere!
As a vague intuition, I think of temperature as some sort of "heat density". It's not right, but it helps.
Don't read into announcements like this too much. Status pages and outage notices are often political.

Status pages are rarely dynamic and updates require blessing from upstairs. And more often than not complete outages are referred to as "degraded performance affecting some users".
If its impossible to say, then why intervene? If you can't prove that bombing will have net positive effects then why do it?
Ugh, just remembered hotornot circa 2004. Those neurons haven't been exercised in a while...
I've been using Astro over the last couple weeks. After reading most of the docs, I don't really see how Nue is really better on any metric aside from a smaller base local development library. For actual client builds, most of my interactive Astro pages have no JavaScript at all (instead using seamless page transitions).
I have a messy drawer where I dump all of this stuff. It’s basically write-only, once I throw something in there I know I’ll never look for it again.

For digital stuff it’s mostly the same idea. If it’s email (which is almost always the case), I archive and forget about it. If it’s something else, I’ll throw it in my virtual “messy drawer” which is just a folder in Google Drive.

You are getting quite a few clever ideas in this thread, but I suspect the vast majority of people out there in the real world do more or less the same as I do (of course, I’m biased).

My “philosophy” (overstatement) is that 99.99% of the time I’ll never need it. If I ever do, it might be a little painful to dig around, but that doesn’t justify having a whole system in place. I would rather keep my mess.
i feel the same way.

starfield feels and plays like a game from the ps4 era. those loading screens gave it away in the first few minutes.
The fine should double every day of continued violation, if you want to get their attention.
Last time I visited the US, the TSA still exists. Pretty sure the effects have remained. Not sure about the "unifying force" fantasy though.
I think no hard evidence has ever come from theories like this. And like the sibling comment said, considering how much scrutiny major social media apps (and the Android OS) is under from security researchers - surely someone would have noticed by know.

But. I also think this shows how spookily good the surveillance ad tech really is, and to what extent the major players (Alphabet, Meta etc) keep track of people. Non-techy people attribute it to microphones and dictation, while in reality it is just enormous amount of old school digital behaviour tracking.

(And a dash or two of frequency illusion bias of course, people tend to ignore the "hot single moms in your area" or super general ads with less impressive targeting)
Why be cryptic? We all know it’s the French we’re talking about.
In Denmark we have e-boks and mit.dk which offer much the same service.

On top of that, every official document, from birth certifica, loans, drivers license, health insurance, and everything else is stored in government databases and can usually be accessed from there, provided your national single sign-on solution, MitID, works.
The same way you avoid it: Succession planning. You need to do the same thing as before this becomes an issue, but now you have less time. You need/want battle plans before a battle, but if you don't have them before you have to make them during.

I don't think there's a contextualess answer, but broadly you either find a direct replacement that you mentor (or maybe you're lucky and they're already GTG) or you diminish your role and have multiple other roles within your org (or outside, i.e. outsource) take up what used to be your responsibilities until your role is obsoleted.
Generally regulators increase fines like this over time if the violation is not resolved. GDPR allows a maximum fine of 4% of global turnover.
I was crowing to my game dev buddy about how he (a Unity C-sharp developer) ought to check out Bevy and Rust because the Rust type system is friggin’ awesome!

RISC OS is still available for the Raspberry Pi. You get to basic by pressing F12 and typing ‘BASIC’, and it has a built-in ARM assembler already - the manuals are all available online, there’s a BASIC manual and the Programmers Reference Manual for the whole OS.

(It’s exactly like a BBC B because this is the same version of BASIC, ported to ARM, it even emulates some of the hardware because back in the day they wanted to make software run without porting)

In theory typing ‘*CONFIGURE LANGUAGE 20’ (BASIC being module 20) should make it into a machine that boots straight to BASIC but when I tried it just now it just ignores the setting because the keyboard drivers aren’t loaded soon enough.

I have open sourced a project where you can interact with 3D AI avatars - with gesture, body movements, mouth movements and text to speech:

https://github.com/jongomez/gpthangout

It should be relatively easy to create models in blender and then use them there. Also, if anyone wishes to use VRM models on the project - should be as simple as importing those models in blender, and then export them as a .glb file. I created a branch recently with some minor code changes to support this:

https://github.com/jongomez/gpthangout/tree/glb-models
Well we shouldn’t do that because thats a deeply naive way to think about market values, people don’t really think about wealth taxes, and you’re confusing taxes with fines.

What you should compare it to is the net income derived from Norway.

I think when most people are, in this context, talking about the "retroactive" part, it's about if it will affect existing games. The pricing structure will be applicable to everyone starting next year.

The other issue is how they measure "installs", as it has been a constant problem in the mobile community for years on end (a problem especially affecting the ad industry as you may imagine).
I personally don't see how they will accurately measure the cases mentioned in the tweet without forcing everyone to have some authentication.
It is retroactive, games that are already made today and already exist today on the various app-stores will be impacted.

10 ad impressions per user might not sound like much, but you're going to get a lot of people installing your app, not liking it, and uninstalling it. The way the mobile game business works the "install count" means almost nothing, you need many, many, many installs to start making any money at all because so few people 'stick around' to actually make you any money.

Regardless of how they spin it, this model is very bad for the FtP games, which is the vast majority of games now.

This is specific to GPL-style licences. You would have to meet the terms of the GPL anyway (i.e. provide your modified source code under the same licence).

The commercial licence is just an additional option for companies willing to pay to not adhere to the GPL terms.

There are certainly cases where maintainers have started licensing _new_ versions of a project under different, non-open source terms (Terraform, ElasticSearch etc.). But you're free to continue using any code that was released under the old licence.

There are some badly written licences which make it ambiguous whether the licence can be revoked in future (e.g. Wizards of the Coast with the OGL), but I have rarely seen this raised as a concern in a software context.

(IANAL, this is not legal advice, etc.)
No, they're usually not published. I encourage you to do it yourself.

If unreal decides to abandon all older versions support and development, to just focus on something new that requires payment, I don't think you can keep fixing or updating the old unsupported code, even if you have the source
without having a comparison, the uppercase I (as in INDIA) can be confused with a 1 (as in one) or a lowercase l (as in LIMA)
It doesn't. Maybe try with something more obscure. It is a phenomenon called frequency bias (it has different names)
I love qntm's writing, be it criticism a technical book or blowing my mind with science fiction. I strongly recommend "There Is No Antimemetics Division".
The issue is that this approach is almost guaranteed to produce basically untestable code with a myriad of invalid/nonsensical/completely broken input combinations, and its impossible to refactor, too, because you don't even know which parts of the parameter space are actually ever needed, or even how they are supposed to interact.

Whenever function semantics need to change, everything degrades further because of refactoring uncertainties (=> you end up with even more parameters).

This will also be extremely resistant to optimization because even finding the "happy path" is non-trivial.
You don't have to get a "license" (at least in the sense of paying anything), IIRC you just connect your EGS account to your Github account, accept an EULA (which technically is a "license" I guess) and then have read access to the Unreal Engine GH repositories.

(currently there seem to be around half a million users with access)
Imagine my surprise that you don't understand what an average is.
You cannot fork it and change its licence unless orig unreal license permits you to do it. Does it?

I thought from the title this was going to be about silicon valley billionaires reinventing themselves with hair plugs and sudden body transformations in later life, but it isn't.

It's some anti-trans stuff from a tough-talking working class anarchist, who doesn't have time for all those "wankers from the university educated Left" yet instantly accuses those same people of being "misogynist and homophobic".

I can remember the good old days when it was the University educated Left complaining about misogyny and homophobia which was the alledged BS that some people railed against as a distraction from their own leftist concerns, so I guess this counts as a progressive victory. Well done to those "wankers from the University educated Left" for making that progress happen.

Can we use separate root DNS server as technical barrier to entry? Or NNTP protocol. Or client side SSL certificate, which must be won in a complex game.

There are plenty of options to separate smart people from regular crowd. IMHO, a separate DNS server, which unlocks alternative Internet, is the easiest way to move away from regular people, because it's a bit complicated to switch DNS on a mobile device.
The very concept of science is a revolution against the idea that author matters more than content. What you propose is how the world used to work, and still does in many aspects and places, ie that something is to be judged not by what is said, but by who said it. If a nobody or disreputable person says something it is to be considered false, and if a reputable and honored person says something it is to be considered true. But that's backwards and hurts both science and justice. Instead we must dare to take arguments at face value in order to move forward.

Studying court cases, I've seen too many instances of people who initially weren't believed or just dismissed, because they weren't considered the right "who", but in the end were proven to be completely right. Studying the history of science, there are many such famous cases.

As for the science of meteorology, it shouldn't be treated as an ideological war, where people go after each other's characters – even pseudonymously. It's the study of elements that don't care what humans think of them.

Apart fromt this, you seem to confuse moderating with discussing. Wether somebody or somebody's comments are subject to moderator actions have nothing to do with the truthfulness of what they wrote.
Calling it horrid is honestly too kind.

Granted I’ve been spoiled with my Strix 3090OC/12900K which was consistently able to crank out high amount of frames at 4K and ultra settings out of the box for any title I threw at it but I knew that couldn’t last forever.

Starfield seems exceptionally poorly optimized however and runs like dogshit even after abandoning ultra or even high settings.
I’m looking at an average fps of around 40 in mundane indoor settings.

This would be less egregious if the game at least looked amazing and had all the bells and whistles like ray tracing etc.
But it looks awful even on ultra, some of the textures look like they’re meant to be an easter egg as a throwback to the original Doom.

Scaling the resolution barely makes a dent and it also doesn't help that I can't access the most useful mods because MS fuckery with the Gamepass edition.

On the XBSX it’s even worse, it would be funny if it weren’t for the fact that it’s so sad that MS still isn’t able to produce an XB exclusive that can hold a candle to Sony’s exclusives.

And don’t get me started on the actual gameplay/story experience.

I too am a big BGS fan, since back in the Morrowind days and I too am one of the few Andromeda fans (there’s dozens of us, dozens!), but this one feels underbaked even for BGS’ standards.
In particular the opening of the game, as if they forgot to replace the placeholder storyline and gameplay with the actual story.

After my first 4 hours or so I was still waiting for the game to really start to the point that I was convinced the game had glitched on me and skipped the beginning or something so I looked up a let’s play only to be dumbfounded that my game was working as intended.

All in all it’s such a weird game to me, like it’s a beta or something.

I play an hour here and there every once in a while, hoping to be hooked and see what others seem to be seeing, but if anything it makes me want to repurchase No Man’s Sky on Steam (had a copy way back when for the PS4 but lost it during a move).
You're forgetting the Unity subscription fee, the very likely reinstalls, the steam sales discounts and the games that aren't 25 but more like 10-15.

This is nice spin - not being a wise-ass - but wages, as we know, have not kept pace with inflation. This the type of lens those in leadership positions use to distract from more important underlying failures.

Apple will still make a boat-load of money. Nothing wrong with that. On the other hand, nearly everyone else's income has not kept pace with inflation. That is, using the 15's price as some sort of sociopolitical barometer is a false god.
