sudo go see a therapist, asap!

And as david927 wrote:

In my opinion, consider trying several therapists until you find one that works well for you; they vary significantly.

Personally I think you shouldn't strive for the usual career, money, big house, many friends or whatever people commonly consider 'successful'. Life has only the meaning you yourself give it.

You might be better served seeking creative activities, maybe volunteer jobs where you act as buddy/support partner for others, (community?) gardening or whatever. Or something totally out there like go on a continent-crossing hiking journey.

This planet is big; life's too short to see & do everything. So regardless: do less of what makes you not happy, and do more of what does. But 1st go seek professional help.

>The software in the screenshot actually has nothing to do with their rootkit and was not present on the CDs in question.

It was present on the CDs as its the way you very supposed to use the CDs.

>this wikipedia article you're using to try to validate your claims that it wasn't a rootkit

I was using just the image on there to show you that there was a whole software package that was included with the CD. It wasn't just DRM, but also a media player and a disc burner. Wikipedia is just copying media propagania of the subject. That's how the site works.

>It also says the software would install itself even when the EULA was refused, while you claim the opposite.

The article is confusing there because it's talking about a different DRM solution than XCP. The article is claiming a different DRM solution was doing that.

>My only question is why are you so vehemently defending Sony's actions?

I am not defending Sony. I am just not going to join in with made up outrage of malware when there was no malicious intent.

>Do you somehow believe that it is a company's right to fuck over your devices security in an attempt at selling more licenses to infinitely-reproducible content?

Insecure software with elevated priviledges is not something unique to this situation and it still is happening to this day. This is an industry wide problem. Thankfully in these times we have proper DRM that is built into silicon and the operating system so that companies don't reinvent something worse and buggy.
Switching from "scary" nuclear to coal isn't the smart move at all.

Solar is intermittent at best and a bunch of your energy is still reliant on natural gas. But it seems that the German government is doing the smart thing and subsidising local solar installations.

They are accountable, they lose their money just like you'd expect. But I don't think we should let companies get away with exploiting people either. They have the upper hand, when it comes to exploiting psychology of the everyman.
> He mentions that they did a massive raise, including billions in debt, ostensibly to modernize and digitize and compete online, and instead they used it to buy back stock.

Honestly, that one should be prosecuted under fraud regulations. And stock buybacks that leave the company with more debt than the company had before should be banned ASAP.
Despite the SIP problem, this is really exciting.
Sony is one of the coolest companies. Hack them, challenge them, force them to become better, harder, faster, stronger. Fuel their evolution. If there is one brand in the world that can become human again, it's Sony.

Toy adverts push the same buttons. I don't know how you regulate this effectively except (as toy adverts are) retroactively.

> Many of these free to play games, which even cursory experience educates you to a world where "whales" that are paying thousands of dollars a month or more

I think whales are usually adults, though. They're wasting their money, just as they waste it paying for a superchat so an influencer will say 5 words to them, but as far as I know this isn't a kid thing, unlike the other points you make.

> An adversary such as Russia undoubtedly already designates straight, manicured roads in Eastern Europe for anti-runway demolition as secondary targets.

Given the inability of Russian PGM to even destroy the runways of Ukrainian airbase[1], and the limited amount of these PGM in the inventory, I really doubt Russia has this capability, even at the scale of one of the small Baltic state.

> Also, given Russia's hypersonic capabilities, they undoubtedly possess something between JP233 and DRDO SAAW: stand-off anti-runway and hardened target attack with area denial.

> They have low labor cost, insanely good infrastructure and logistics, cheap energy and weak labor rights. You're not gonna outcompete them on manufacturing.

Sorry to bust your bubble but that has slowly been changing. Mexico and India is the new China, or at least they will be very soon.

For years, wages in China were much lower than Mexico's. Now, Mexico's manufacturing labor costs are 20% lower than in China. When adjusted for worker productivity, the gap is even wider. And India is getting there, too.
It's a good writeup but I dislike the tone. The entire thing can be summarized by saying the author dislikes custom syntax and compiler when js and the Dom api are technically enough to potentially make a good dev experience without any syntactic fluff.

In any case. It's an interesting thought but I disagree with the fact that transpiling is so last decade.

Does anybody know of a facial recognition AI that actually classifies faces as (non)-liars as she claims?

Not sure about this take. You need data at the end of the day, to build good AI models.

This has literally never been a problem for me despite writing considerable amounts of YAML.

Frankly, this is a phantom benefit: the first thing people do in brackety-languages is define an indent standard. And it's not like a brackety language magically saves you from mis-nesting things if a bracket ends up misplaced.
How do you agree on those root principles? Don't you need a set of even lower level shared rules and ability that allows you to agree on anything in the first place? If I show the paper with the rules to a dog, I don't think they can agree or disagree with me in any meaningful way, despite otherwise being reasonably intelligent creatures. Could there be aliens that are vastly different from us that can make rules that we would be unable to agree to? Could there be aliens similar to us, that would have different means to agree that are incompatible with ours?
> The more early someone was in mining or buying Bitcoin, the greater the possibility that they believe in Bitcoin in and of itself.

Citation needed. I got into bitcoin back when mining on your CPU was actually a reasonable thing to do. I tried selling it when it was worth about $50, only for mtgox to promptly fold.

Suffice to say I firmly believe bitcoin isn't really a solution to anything.

Of course anecdote does not data make, but neither does an unsourced claim.

According to that page,

> Your eCall system is only activated if your vehicle is involved in a serious accident. The rest of the time the system remains inactive. This means that when you are simply driving your vehicle, no tracking (registering your car's position or monitoring your driving) or transmission of data takes place

the problem is, implementation is left to manufacturers, so it has to be verified whether each eCall card actually, really «remains inactive».

Containers are namespaced processes. These processes exec against the corresponding kernel they require. There is no workaround: if you have an ELF binary calling Linux syscalls it can only run on a Linux kernel†, so to run that you need a VM††. It's not as bad as it appears thanks to memory ballooning†††.

Conversely if you want to exec a Windows binary in a container, the Windows kernel needs to provide process namespacing features (which it does). And if you want to exec a Darwin binary in a container, then the Darwin kernel needs to provide process namespacing features (which it doesn't).

† WSL1 was implementing the Linux syscall API on the Windows kernel, which proved to be much more complex than it appears to be.

It could have something to do with the fact that in order to regen-brake a 1800kg car at your typical 0.5g at 100 km/h you need some 270kW of motor/generator power.

Anecdotal evidence, but here it goes.

I moved from Linux to M1 MacBook recently. I know my greps and vims, but I was tired of audio glitches during high CPU usage, system not waking up from sleep, total OS freezes, super loud fans, and so on.

Now I get none of that. I don't think I've ever heard the fans. Audio just works, everything is super snappy. It always wakes up. I'm no longer afraid of bluetooth.

And on top of that, setting my $DAYJOB VPN took three minutes and it just works, where on Linux I had constant problems with DNS breaking, and setting it up was always an hour of work, praying I got the config files right this time.

It really seems to be "unixy desktop with working sound", the best of both worlds.
Yeah, I think the mathematical exposition was pretty good, but I couldn't bring myself to finish the book because of the culture war she kept trying to shove in.
It seems like security in general is taken lightly in Japan.

Probably because they tend to work on a honor system and are generally well behaved. I think the subconscious idea is "Why would people try to hack the system? It is wrong", because they wouldn't do it themselves, the threat is like an alien concept.

It works in a day-to-day life. In fact, it is a very pleasant experience and often one of the top things people say when you ask them what the like about Japan. But for IT security where the threat can come out of anywhere, it doesn't work.
I'm kind of surprise about how the author extrapolate the BB&B situation to politics, when it's clearly the financial system crashing the economy because stock manipulation is somehow more profitable than doing actual business.

I would say yes obviously because it's very natural. As you get older, you get experience in what seems to work and what does not. Even if something could work people learn by experience that they do not. I don't think it's the body that makes us biologically less innovative but rather a side effect of all the other shit that's going on.

Also, you often have more to protect as you grow older. You may have kids, a wife, children, a house etc. Everything costs money so you get more careful in making life altering decisions since you have a lot to lose if you fail. Usually I think people have worked their way into a state they are comfortable with and thus don't want to change too much because change doesn't have to be positive.

> until and unless electricity prices come down

checking price on my mobile app

My current electricity price is -0.08c/kWh. Yes. That is a negative number. The price has been close to or below zero for a week now.

Dunno how much lower it could go? The only thing missing here is a legal framework that would allow me to charge a local 50-100kWh battery bank with free electricity and sell it for a huge profit when the price goes up.
Where is the evidence it isn't?

Imagine something that thinks 1000x faster than you, is thousands of times smarter than you, never sleeps, never eats, can self-improve, can self-replicate and it didn't like you, or someone deployed it against you and your ethnicity, family, whatever?

It would be devastating. You'd be fucked. We'd all be fucked.

Personally I don't think such a creation will ever be practical or work the way we think it will, but if we'd like to keep enjoying the world and value our autonomy, I think we should be very cautious when implementing it.

Oxygen masks definitely aren't unimpeachable good. Passenger oxygen mask systems are virtually never needed but have caused multiple fires that destroyed planes and killed people. They are an expensive complication without which plane travel would be better - the plane would be cheaper to build, there'd be more room and weight available for passengers or luggage, and we'd all save time on safety briefings from not having to hear instructions on how to do a thing that you certainly won't need to do.

The pilots need oxygen masks as a backup while they quickly descend to a safer altitude. Unless you're flying over the Himalayas and can't drop that low, the passengers should be fine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_oxygen_system#Incide...
Ice is fine. These and other planes routinely land on icy runways in Finland and all over the world. You do need to take that into account for the length of the runway needed.

For snow you just use a snowplow. The same thing you used to keep the snow off the road you just converted into a runway for planes.
Yup. I'm going with the "filtering" theory as per the above comments,

you normally do just as well - you just realize that it's not worth
the fucking effort."

At 20 I'd stay up for 72 hours very badly writing a full featured text
editor in the one language I knew, C. That giddy, naive excitement was
the engine. Most of my ideas were stupid. I had no measure of my
abilities or time, and so optimistically threw myself into projects.

At 35 I had a choice of more than 10 programming languages I knew
well, but used someone else's libraries to hack what I needed together
in Perl in an hour. That was probably "peak hacker".

By 40 I figured out I could just customise Emacs with a line of elisp.

At 50 I figured: if it's not already an obvious feature or extension
then I'm probably misunderstanding what I think I want.

Wisdom frees up time and effort to focus on innovations which are
grander/complex, happen on a slower timescale, need more help and
collaboration with others, require more reflective thought, and have
to be matched to my known abilities and time.

It makes sense in the conclusion. I don't think I agree with the premises.

None of the products that Bill Gates made himself were uniquely brilliant. He did not make money by himself writing software that provided unique value. He made a very good Basic compiler, but that's not where his wealth comes from.

His breakthrough deal with was with IBM, where he arbitrated between IBM and Tim Patterson - without either party knowing of the other. That's not value he created, that's value he arbitrated.

Now, you might say, but that is the value he provided, the arbitration. But that is not value created by any means and it's not necessarily a function of ingenuity or hard work or perseverance, but it's a function of well-connectedness, of knowing-the-right-people, of moving-in-the-right circles.

And that again are areas where being wealthy and connected, going to the right schools, speaking the right lingo and knowing the right people will give you an invaluable advantage.
Is it just safety? We also need to align them to be useful. So I'm not sure safety and usability are mutually exclusive? A safe model seems like a useful model, a model that gives you dangerous information seems, well dangerous and less useful ?

Was Grippen actually cheaper to operate? Because I've been following Swiss and Finnish purchase orders and they claimed that F-35A came out both cheaper to procure and was not more expensive to operate (mostly due to much higher production numbers since every other NATO country seems to be procuring them, making spare parts and per unit costs lower).
There are already some countries with different kinds of quotas for parliaments. Interestingly, reserved seats in parliament for women exist mostly in dictatorships (Saudi Arabia, China, Egypt, Pakistan), where parliaments have nothing to say anyway.

I wonder if the introduction in India now indicates that in India the parliament also has nothing to say anymore and is drifting towards dictatorship?
