When the rules were still active, net neutrality did not apply to coffee shops, airlines, etc.

> 52. Finally, we decline to apply our rules directly to coffee shops, bookstores, airlines, and other entities when they acquire Internet service from a broadband provider to enable their patrons to access the Internet from their establishments (we refer to these entities as “premise operators”). These services are typically offered by the premise operator as an ancillary benefit to patrons ... Although broadband providers that offer such services are subject to open Internet rules, we note that addressing traffic unwanted by a premise operator is a legitimate network management purpose.

It seems like a reasonable distinction: if you're letting someone else use your Internet connection, it's your prerogative to block things that you don't want on your network.

> "Certainty of being caught" apparently does [provide a deterrent effect], but as you build a police force that makes getting caught of committing a crime a certainty, you have already fallen into the same trap America (and her cities) fall into over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Police aren't a solution. They're a problem. That's not to say there's no UPSIDE. It's to say there are trade-offs and I think they have been proven by history to be unfavorable trade-offs in the long view.
Aren’t castes like micro races? Brahmins at least seem to look different to me, and I believe Brahmins discriminating against non Brahmins is the main issue (in Silicon Valley at least). If that’s the case isn’t this already technically illegal as racial discrimination? It’s not like “Indian” is a race really, there is a lot of variation inside of it.

Epic's game programmers are already incompetent to the point that Fortnite is basically falling apart at the seams and every update adds dozens of new bizarre bugs, I don't even want to imagine how much worse it would get if they started using AI to write code.

I don't believe this at all judging from how I've seen developers using them the past few months. Seems a huge amount of trust in them. Although I'd say the trust is earned, it's shocking how often ChatGPT can completely nail a request.
Are you saying that central bank interest rate is targeted to be 2%? If so, I don't believe that is true. The target is 2% inflation and full employment, the interest rate is adjusted to whatever level achieves those goals.

Can they? In my experience, they don't tend to do this when it comes to deciding who to lay off. I assumed this was because they can't tell who the bottom 10-15% are.

Also consider that a project needs to not only have existed, but to already have an established track record of being vendor-neutral before it can join.

Kubernetes joined CNCF on March 10, 2016. Prometheus joined May 9, 2016.

In 2017, these 10 projects joined:

- Linkerd
- gRPC
- CoreDNS
- Containerd
- rkt
- CNI
- Envoy
- Jaeger
- Notary
- TUF

Of those 12, only one (rkt) has been archived. Do you honestly believe the majority of these will be unsupported 10 years from now, let alone 10 years from when they were added (or started in the first place)?

I can't see any negative outcomes from legally preventing discrimination by caste.

Either it doesn't happen/doesn't happen enough for a law so this is most effectively virtue signalling without any negative outcomes.

Or it does happen and this can help take steps against it.

There is no situation that allowing discrimination by caste to continue is a benefit to anyone other than those that are at the top of the caste system. That is inherently against western social views and anthema to equality.
Same. Bugs me a lot. I dislike the EGS. I dislike Fortnite.

But Epic is one of the most dev-friendly companies in the world. And in my opinion they're constantly pushing in the right direction on things. Maybe not without prompting. But still.

* Online multiplayer must have crossplay

* Anti platform monopolists lawsuits

* Source available engine

* No lootboxes

* Over a hundred million dollars to Ukraine

* $250k to Godot for open source graphics

It's one of the few companies I'm actually rooting for.
Other people have suggested it's done by limiting the size of the data transmitted to make the connection only useful to text messages, possibly resetting the connection regularly. If so, it would in fact comply with both the principles of net neutrality and any laws I know of. You could create matsemann's text service as long as it also used small amounts of data it guessed could only be used for text.

Probably 0%. What I heard, mostly people not performing (which is the real pandemic after COVID-19). If I'm not wrong as other companies, devs there are not "allowed" to use copilot and chatgpt fearing code plagiarism and ending up with some license violations..

Ever wonder how to "interact with the local populace" when you travel somewhere? Well, here's how it's done:

- Be prepared to discuss your personal interests (hobbies, books, travel).
- Be sensitive to your body language.
-> Smile as long as it is appropriate.
-> Avoid sitting with your arms crossed.
-> Do not show the bottom of your feet in an Arabic culture.
-> Keep your hands away from your mouth.
-> Lean forward and nod.
-> Make frequent eye contact (if culturally appropriate).
- Use the person's name, position title, rank, and/or other verbal expressions of respect.

- Remember, a person's favorite topic is himself

K8S maintains the internal state of the system in JSON which is easy to convert to YAML which is seen as more readable in comparison. I think their choice to support JSON and YAML as an interface for configuring K8S is because of this.

I'd also guess that the expectation was that abstractions would form around YAML to make it more powerful. Helm uses Go templating language which supports logic and loops (but is very unpleasant to write complex configs with) and the operator pattern is also popular for more advanced cases. Ultimately both end up exposing some JSON/YAML interface for configuring, though. It is up to you to decide how you create that JSON/YAML.
The key is that while many fonts have representations for Unicode math points, math symbols and math display are their own things, and typesetting them is not the same as typesetting text. As with musical notation, math typesetting has its own requirements and rules. Knuth created TeX as a way to typeset complex mathematical formulae. TeX has math mode, a completely separate environment. There's more to typesetting it than choosing a font that has the desired symbols.

Another commenter has noted about the unpleasant sounds and ominous design, but I'm curious about your experience with other patient orientations - it occurred to me that a lot of the discomfort comes from going in head-first and on your back, that way you're losing any sort of autonomy.

I assume there are scans that require people be on their front and looking out from inside the machine (or otherwise able to see out of the machine directly rather than via mirror), do you find that patients for those procedures don't require sedation as often?
CUE is adding a WASM runtime, so there will be an ability to write complex or custom functions in the language of your choice.

I don’t think they have any sophisticated solution for sniffing traffic. It’s most likely simple firewall + deals with Apple/Meta.

>There is nothing uniquely different about caste discrimination than Shia/Sunni divide among Muslims or Han Chinese/non

Shia/Sunni discriminating against each other is religious discrimination, which is banned in the US. Han Chinese discriminating against non-Han is racial discrimination, which is banned in the US. Indians discriminating against other Indians based on cast is not banned, if they share the same race and religion. The new law aims to remedy this gap.
You missed the "/s" bit, I presume? But you certainly have a point.

If JSON still fits somewhere - that's nice, it means the issue is just about YAML syntax (which is a matter of personal preference, really; but I thought we left all the entertainment of putting Pythonistas and Perl Hackers in a virtual ring in the past decade, somewhere next to /.'s grave).

If JSON feels worse - it means YAML's syntax is not a problem, it's a symptom of YAML being misplaced to express something other than a simple data structure.
Yeah, this exactly. The only person I know who is succeeding at "game dev" with ChatGPT is an older bloke I know who just began their baby steps on a pet project with Unity.

Sure, if you're still learning how to move position from x to x+1, ChatGPT can help you with those basics, but anything more than that and they start hitting me up on Discord looking for real answers.

Something as simple as how the serialization of fields in behaviour classes was too much for ChatGPT. They read what it hallucinated up, got confused, and were calling me up to explain minutes later. For those who don't know Unity, this is something you have to do daily when building new logic into game components and ChatGPT was clueless about it.

The limitations of ChatGPT as a programming aid are very very obvious and it has a long way to go before it's really useful to seasoned professionals.

I used to work at WhatsApp (until the end of 2019) on many things, including special pricing (aka zero rating); we did not work with airlines, and would not have participated in a project where messages and attachments where treated differently.

That said, technically there's two pretty easy ways to do it for WhatsApp traffic, and then there's the way I suspect they're doing it...

a) chat runs on different ips than attachments; always has, most likely always will (other than some transitional HAProxy at the old hosting when nearly everything had been moved to the new hosting).

b) WA chat is not HTTPS (or even TLS) and attachments are. Chat also cycles between different ports, so you could just block port 443 and be good.

c) I actually suspect, based on poking around a little that it's mostly just killing connections that use a lot of data. Maybe in combination with some other things. Being on a plane doesn't really put me in a debug the network kind of mood, so I never got to the bottom of it, but I'd regularly be able to make short connections to my home network while on the messaging plan, at least when this stuff was new. OTOH, I think I recall being able to connect through the WA VPN while on a plane on the messaging plan, but that was when we had a publicly available, but not publicly linked list of IP addresses on our website; I have no doubt that DPI vendors had that list.
Raspberry Pi 4s fresh out of the factory often have hardware issues themselves (HDMI connector failures, unreliable USB port power supply on reboot etc.), as one can see from the numerous (and unacknowleged) reports on Raspberry Pi forums — so I find the comparison with used hardware fair.

To really "get" the Tao Te Ching, I think you have to study Zen and Buddhism. Without getting an intuitive understanding of abstract phrases, talking about things with metaphors, stuff like emptyness and "the way" you're really not going to get anything out of it. You also need to have worked to master some craft or art form.

But once you do understand those things, the ideas in the Tao Te Ching are almost common sense. Stuff any somewhat wise person would understand immediately. You can pick any random line out of it and apply to almost any discipline or situation.

Its all really just a collection of basic worldly wisdom, that you would encounter doing anything if you put genuine effort into it.

Hell, take any art composition class and you can see most ideas in the Tao Te Ching applied literally. This is because in art, things like form, balance and emptyness are all basic building blocks to design
When I was at the university and without a fully developed frontal lobe I thought it was a great idea to test this in the lab.

Ended up creating a "battleship"-like game. Two people, each trying to crash the other's machine. Since the IPs were randomly assigned by DHCP and for some inexplicable reason changed frequently (every day or so), we would be trying to guess what the other machine's IP was.

Given how they were physically arranged, we were able to see the machines blue screening (but not always fully crashing).

Of course, there was a lot of collateral damage as some machines were in used by people that weren't part of the 'game'. Thankfully, most of the time they didn't fully crash. Most of the time.

OS 9 and before emphasized discoverability:

Sometime at or after OS X, the industry pivoted to surprise and delight instead, and so did Apple. (Not sure who pioneered it.)

This feeds in well with the whole "cult of apple" thing, since to use the laptop / phone, you have to get other users to show you cool non-discoverable tricks. Take this article explaining basic functionality in Finder for example:

I've been using OS X for about 10 years, and didn't know half that stuff.

Instead, I know just enough Mac OS CLI to know to avoid macports and brew, and to instead use a hypervisor or ssh to a machine with a reasonable filesystem layout.
