Fun fact: he didn't shut anything down, as Starlink was already inoperative in the warzone.

The comic suggests that an affirmative decision was made to violate the assumptions of those in possession of working hardware. In fact he simply declined a special request that Starlink be activated in a region in which it is not currently active, a request made by people who wished to use it to carry out violence.

I know it's not popular to be anti-war, especially when there is an invasion where it's pretty clear who is the aggressor and who is the victim, but at the very least if you are going to attack someone for being anti-violence and anti-war, get your facts straight when you do the attacking.

I think there is a lot more anger and outrage due to the remaining members of the UN Security Council who haven't kicked Russia out yet than a guy who wouldn't let you use his internet satellites to conduct mass murder.
I do send my mom photos with my 2yr old taking a bath or stuff like that. "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about" - what a stupid argument. Letting criminals dictate the way I live sounds like such a wonderful idea. If you have nothing to hide can you post your credit card here?
My classmates and I tried to find something useful to do with it. It was very fun but we didn't really find a great reason to use it.

Jasper Fforde has written a series of humorous novels about a character named Thursday Next. [1, 2]

This reminds me of the time when I had first moved to a small midwest college town with just my bike and a '93 geo metro half full of belongings. I spent the night at a friend's apartment with my nice (for me) mountain bike locked up at the bike rack. My mistake was in only locking up the frame; in the morning, both wheels (with expensive at the time disc brakes) were missing. First thing I did when the local bike shop opened was take my wheel-less frame there to see about getting new wheels.

On my way into the shop a dude approaches me and tells me that he "borrowed" my wheels and that they are in the shop. What? I'm confused. I enter the shop and sure enough, there are my wheels! But wait, the shop clerk says. How do you know these are your wheels? Because, good sir, this bike thief right next to me admitted as much just now! See him nod! Yes, he stole those wheels from this bike! No, says the shopkeeper; you must be mistaken; that good fellow right there sold me these nice-ish wheels for a really good price; how could they be yours?

Aghast, infuriated, I left. Fuming. Why didn't I call the cops? Why didn't I firebomb this chop shop and leave it a smoking ruin, a warning to all future bike thieves and their accomplices? Alas, this was nearly half my life ago. Life goes on.
I would love to learn how to make this. Do you or anyone here know good recipes and the process?
Huh, I didn’t know this. I recently upgraded my workstation to 128G and after some trial and error had to bring down the memory speed from 6000 to 4800.

Is it working just by accident?

Yes ok, my take on left wing media's spin here is that it often boils down to 'right wing media are only interested in identity politics and racist dog whistles'. I don't entirely disagree with this, but it doesn't go very far to address the legitimate concerns of the people who live in affected areas.

Nice to see an example that there can be a positive outcome with allocated resources. I'm not sure how it would affect their electability among affected populations, but (I'm in the UK and) I'd like to see Labour addressing this problem by proposing solutions like you're suggesting.
Let them be, I'll stay in the industry as long as there's choice
Small beer had very little alcohol and did not make people drunk, especially since they didn't drink that much of it every.

People drank beer because it tasted good and was full of carbs (energy for the day). They even had small beer for breakfast.

Would you mind sharing a recipe? I'd love to learn how to make them.
The solution is to take these people from the sea back to where they came from. The idea to rescue them onto a small island so they can flood Europe has been tried, doesn’t work, it only causes more people to try to cross over.
At least many of the berries and fruit we eat today are not their wild varieties but human cultivars, which usually have both more sugar and less fibre than their wild counterparts.
Another Aussie here.

I would say that "a couple" can also mean several. For example:

"Come back in a couple of days and we might have them in stock".

"Turn right where the old farmhouse used to be and they are a couple of k's down the road"
To me, modern computers, in particular, are an enigma, and I am an electronic engineer specializing in digital systems.

Imagine something with 200 billion individual parts with individual functions (and that’s just the cpu) that is presumed to work perfectly flawlessly billions of times a second for a decade.

By contrast, the crankshaft on your car goes through a bout 1 billion revolutions before it is worn out. Your heart might beat 4 billion times before you die, if you are really lucky.

The precision and reliability we take for granted from modern computing hardware is dumbfounding.
That would mean the death of Firefox. Apple is the exact opposite of what Mozilla is or tries to be.
I don’t think this is as cut and dry as the author would have you believe.

Given the options, I think I would rather have the class of problems that come with being able to prove where an email originated instead of the problems that arise from not being able to do so.

Proof protects a lot of innocents from bad actors in a lot of ways. Lack thereof protects whistleblowers and the like. It’s not a totally clear win one way or the other. I just suspect the prior helps more people.
There was colonizers and immigrants, both have negative impacts for the respective peoples I'm sorry to say.

I'm definitely not anti-immigration, not even close, but to say that it didn't have a negative impact on those native people seems strange?

In the long run, positive impacts yes.
Both are correct, actually. British vs. American English as someone pointed out above.
You mean people who are of a pro-Putin opinion, or trolls? The Venn diagram for that is certainly far from a circle.
If that were true there would probably be news articles about it like this one. I do not believe you.
I disagree. Russia has been where it is all the time, and it’s been able to reach all of continental Europe with it’s missiles for the past half century. NATO has been able to do the same thing in reverse for decades. Sharing a land border is just a formality. Besides, we were kinda at the point where nobody really wanted to invade Russia to stop them from doing anything.

Besides, say Ukraine joined NATO, how is the effect different from Russia taking over Ukraine. We’ll end up with a shared land border.

Obviously it’d be preferred by Russia that they occupy the place, but the war was a non-starter from the beginning. The end result is exactly the opposite from what I expect Russia was hoping to achieve (unless Putin’s aim was to make Russia a second North Korea). Ukraine has never been closer to NATO, and Russia never more reviled.
> So, does the defense get to subpoena the logs, and depose a programmer to explain why some random request returned a 502?

In theory yes, but you can get some idea of how it worked in practice from the transcript of the trial of Seema Misra [1]. This was one of the few cases where the postmaster pleaded not guilty and expert evidence was presented to the jury. The defence complained throughout the trial that their expert did not have adequate access to the underlying computer records. New documents were identified during the course of the trial, and the defence applied unsuccessfully for the trial to be stayed at the close of the prosecution case.

Which point? That there were so many lines of code imagined exactly? It's a continuous scale. 20 lines seems very good, but not exceptional.
A cute idea though. Going through a daily "rotation" of Web sites is probably pretty common and turning that into a formal process is pretty smart to avoid procrastination or having lots of tabs opening all at once. It would work better as an extension, I suspect.
I've had emails about a blindness awareness event where the text was all in a screenshot of text. I don't know the state of the art of screen readers, but I have to assume that text is at least _better_. :)
Sure, YouTube now has a "Podcasts" category, like they have "Gaming".

youtube.com/podcasts

They don't have RSS feeds or even audio file support. If you're a podcaster, you have to take your audio files and add a still image or audiogram to turn it into a video, then upload _that_.
The last time I've seen an ad was probably on the reddit app before I stopped using it. Not sure ads are the way to get tools out to devs at all.
When I posted the comment, iOS 17 had been out... ~1 week? You really think everyone upgrades in lockstep on day 1? I've been annoyed by this for all the 4 years I've used an iphone.

I haven't upgraded yet, so I'm not sure what to make of your comment. But for pre-iOS17 the lock screen notification/dismissal view is anything but "clear" or "obvious"...
Well now I know what I’m doing next weekend - nice work!
Ya, it’s a quality issue. Sort of like with jet turbines: China has no problem producing fast ones, but is not yet able to produce fast ones that don’t need to be overhauled every flight. Or semiconductors: it can produce modern sized chips, but the yields are not good enough to be economically competitive yet. But these are mostly a matter of going through the same 50 years of experimentation of materials and process that other countries did.

For the balls in pens, I think there was one factory in Japan that did that very well, and they had no qualms about exporting them to China at reasonable prices, so China could make pens fine enough, just the ball used in n high quality ones (which, were the ones that would actually sell) used a ball imported from Japan. The minister was angry the pens weren’t 100% Chinese, rather than just 99% Chinese.

One can easily imagine that there are many such components produced in China that other countries aren’t currently tooled to produce economically, so it’s not weird or very unprecedented that China wasn’t previously set up to make perfect balls for pens.
The idiom is literally “fight fire with fire”

Also, “the enemy of my enemy, is my friend”
Well there’s bread (flour, water, yeast, salt) and there’s bread (Enriched Wheat Flour (Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Water, Sugar, Yeast, Contains 2% Or Less Of: Soybean Oil, Salt, Monoglycerides, Calcium Propionate And Sorbic Acid To Extend Freshness, Malted Barley Flour, Whey, Soy Lecithin, Datem, Wheat Gluten).

It should be a good time for Firefox, because now it's clear that Firefox plus ublock origin can block more ads than google ever allows Chrome to do (they don't allow it anymore).

That's a tangible benefit you can tell your friends about.
> can't put out fire with more fire

But can you put out a fire with Firefox?
Looks like the book is still a WIP. There are only the chapters up to the simulator, the rest from ALU onwards are TBD.
I don't know, defaults are pretty powerful.

There's already a Chrome-branded Safari wrapper on iOS; but my guess is that the majority of iOS users use "regular" Safari and will continue to because it's the default.
I agree with you, I was just pointing out the mistake of what a "null hypothesis is' meant.
Wonder if it would be a better outcome for him to just focus on his own companies? Why does he weight in so heavily on politics? I guess for new business opportunities ?
Yeah, I’m fairly certain that does not apply to ‘Is my country doing well’, since the measures used are human defined.

If you put zero value on personal freedom (which isn’t objectively better, that’s just pure opinion) the equation changes.
>> I think that the comic books worked well because they provided extra context with the illustrations. And, as you point out, the text is directly tied to the illustration in each panel. With that extra context, the texts became more comprehensible, so you were able to learn more advanced and interesting sentences earlier.

Absolutely!
Median? So the bottom 50% of the population as measured by wealth or income should not have children, according to you?
Difference is that the government can be held accountable if its democratic, since then it's run by the people for the people.
The nice thing about a bookmarklet is that it works on all of my devices. Even on my tablet. And that editing it is possible by simply right clicking the bookmark and hitting "edit".
>But marketing effectiveness. Which is closely related to marketing spend.

Marketing effectiveness is not closely related to marketing spend on the Steam market for indie games. You can't buy your way to the front page of Steam. Either your game is good and people buy it, play it and share it, or it isn't and then the algorithm will not promote it. There are many things you can and should do to try to nudge the algorithm your way, but by far the best is having a genuinely good game. If the game's quality isn't good you'll mostly be wasting money if you try to approach it with the marketing mindset you have.

>Even for an exceptional game, getting traction in the market is far harder than it used to be.

It's actually easier than ever because very few games are exceptional, as has always been the case. The offering of exceptional released games doesn't increase just because the total number of released games does. If there suddenly was an AI tool that let anyone finish a game very easily, you still wouldn't get a significant increase in exceptional released games because there aren't that many exceptionally creative people in the world.
SpaceX Starlink Launches for October
that's the challenge, especially for foreign companies trying to hire locals. in china big companies pay good salaries but they also often don't have a good work culture. i got better results hiring juniors who have not yet experienced that work culture. at least in china students do learn programming so they are not poorly trained. a friend of mine tried that in another country and could not make it work.
Yea that’s not how the power grid works though. It’s not a fungible resource that can be used at a time and place of your chosing. So it’s wasted or used right there and then.
"Desperate dad commits suicide, daughter most affected"

Was this "here is my story, me! Me! Me!" trend of "journalism" always a thing? I feel this is all I can stumble upon these days. The one whose parents are immigrants, the one whose son has special needs, the one whose mom voted for Trump, the one who had an abortion, etc etc. Was it always like that?
As a Brit I'd pretty much agree with everything you said except switching several/few. Several is generally somewhat more than a few, at least in the UK. "I'm going away for a few days" would imply a weekend, perhaps, but several days could be up to a full week.
> Don’t know about India, but a lot of Chinese development is gacha-based with limited western appeal.

Is this really true?

My understanding is that the best selling mobile games in the US and EU are largely from Chinese developers and Chinese studios and Chinese publishers.
History is not a guide for healthy nutrition.
Most of the times there are dropped a few miles away from the African coasts, with a good coordination between the smugglers and the NGOs. They then spend the essential of their travel in safe ships. They could travel less if the NGOs policy was to save them and return them to Africa.

Those NGOs are smugglers.
There was a wave of rapes in areas the Red Army liberated from the Germans. The frontoviki where allegedly fine, but those who followed were looting and raping their way through.
Aurora season: Why more auroras at equinoxes?
Why? If the NFT does not have the creator’s signature - a transaction signed by the creator’s key - why would anyone consider that to be authentic? You can mint 10 copies of the NFT on 10 different chains, but if the mint transaction is not signed by the creator’s key, it would not be authentic.

In the real world, you used to authenticate things through signatures. In the digital world, you would do that by signing transactions with your known wallet.
AfD are the hybrid between a populist and a political prostitute. They voice the real pain points (COVID madness, high cost of energy, immigration etc.) but the proposed solutions are either stupid or paid by their sponsors or both (for example, avoiding vaccines entirely, leaving EU, lifting anti-Russian sanctions etc.)
It may be odd, but bookmarklets are the quickest way to 'mod' a browser session, and a welcome leftover from a simpler time (for now even working on some mobile browsers).

For instance, I have one setup that after activation, allows me to highlight text on a page, which is then automaticaaly dated, annotated with metadata and copied to my clipboard, saving a lot of keystrokes and touch movements. Another parses the .bib metadata found in Google Scholar results, and prettyfies it to a markdown suitable format.

I would dread losing these simple scripts that can be run across all my devices.
But other Chromium based browsers do that too: Brave etc.
They can't scan them in the cloud because, unlike other cloud storage services, the data is encrypted before leaving the device and they don't have access to what they are storing. They still don't want to host bad stuff though so they tried to come up with a way to still scan somewhere while not making the encryption in the cloud useless for everyone.
Why the smaller players can't figure this out? Are they inventing their own S3-compatible storage or using a open source project underneath if?
> I can only dread the number of people who will experience such horrible fates again when there is another world war.

Or, you know, the hundreds of thousands of children abducted out of Ukraine right now.

The man in the story was 19 when it happened. How much will a 9 year old remember of their home? Any child under perhaps ~5 years is now lost forever.

Russia is a vile evil.
"So, even after an epic lunchtime quest of hunting/gathering, you might end up out 20-30 bucks for a depressing pile of iceberg lettuce, croutons, and shredded cheese."

Depressing indeed! Where I live, it's like €1.50 per ~500g chunk of raw broccoli (just the vegetable, harvested, possibly washed and wrapped in plastic, transported to supermarket). Other vegetables in similar range, and no problem finding stores with a decent selection of veggies & fruit.

Are US farmers somehow unable to grow broccoli <$1.50/lb? Or food stores incapable of selling raw veggies @ reasonable prices?
Mozilla's office in SF, pictured in the article's first photo, is literally neighbor to Google's SF office, making that a particularly apt photo and headline pair.

I want to add as well that genetics are a type of memory as well, and there might be two types of "conscioucness", one of the brain and one of the body.
In video games it would be very hard to make that kind of money(in vast majority of the world anyway) if you're just starting out. I myself was only paid £18k/pa as a junior programmer at a big studio, programming in C++ with two CS degrees. Industry pays crap to those starting out. So compared to that yeah, if you manage to make some games that make enough money to pay the bills and which give you game Dev experience......completely worth it. Or you could leave the industry, get a normal software job and be paid well - the choice is yours.
They are all using Ceph, which is the limitation.
I don't know too much about the subject. Japan is low crime compared to the West and that is a cultural difference. There are still thieves, and the bicycle is always what thieves want because it has utility. If you steal a bike you can ride it, you haven't got to 'fence' it (sell it to buy drugs).

The benefit of having a police register of bicycles is that it can be checked. Therefore, if someone gets caught for some crime, the bike ownership can be checked.

I don't think they have checkpoints to catch people on stolen bikes, so, if you have a 'second hand bike' (someone else's stolen pride and joy), then you can keep riding it so long as you don't get caught or in an accident. Much like in the olden days before ANPR you could drive a stolen car without expectation of getting caught.
When you buy a bike or when the police stop someone on a bike.
I disagree. Google offers a cheap and effective way of advertising, making it possible for smb’s in rural areas to have a global reach. That’s not nothing.
That's not true, Mozilla also exist to pay Mitchell Baker and her cronies fat salaries.

In 2020, she got paid $3MM.

In 2021, after an incredible year which saw Firefox's market share fall even further, she of course got a raise to $5MM for her brave decision to lay off 250 people in Aug 2020.

I hope she gets a massive bonus for 2023, given that her leadership has allowed Microsoft Edge to flip Firefox most days according to the stats, and she still has a quarter to let Safari consistently flip Firefox too!

It is obscene. She wants to be paid according to what she alleges her market value is, but she does not have the accountability of a publicly traded company's CEO.

Firefox needs a radical culture change and it needs to happen 8 years ago. I have no hope it will happen, as it exists to siphon money from suckers who pay donations that barely pay Mitchell's salary (total annual donations barely cover this expense![1]) and the board does not give a shit about what Firefox's core audience cares about.

The grift will continue until Mitchell and co decide enough is enough and flee the sinking ship. Whoever inherits it and the massively bloated outgoing expenses will probably be fucked, regardless of who they are or how good their intentions are. Firefox is massively behind, web devs are not incentivised to accommodate for the single-digit percent of Firefox users, and things are only going to continue to get worse.

[1] Yes Mitchell is paid by the corporation as opposed to the non-profit and donations go to the non-profit, but ultimately money that could have gone to the non-profit went to Mitchell's bank account

Yep. Running Cilium in raw L2 mode (no encapsulation) on the lan, and even using external IP's in L2 mode to provide load balancing (currently a beta feature, and switched from MetalLb). It has worked beautifully with very few issues.
In terms of desktop market share it's about equal.

I don’t think they will. Safari doesn’t have good plugins. That’s a big point. Using plugins.
