> Adjusted for inflation those are probably about the same today, the difference being there were no major surgical procedures available for pets. Also, the vet did not carry $150k in student loan debt.

Yeah, I remember it being "the dog has cancer? That sucks, let's give them some cheap drugs to keep them comfortable as it gets worse, and plan to put them down when that stops working." Not "let's do chemo". Dog-surgery or otherwise expensive human-like care for pets was like a Beverly Hills rich person thing for celebrities with risible relationships with their pets, not something normal people did. You'd maybe get a broken leg or whatever dealt with, but that was about it, and even that kind of thing would be a lot lower-tech than these days.

Spot on. We're a long way away from mass market usage. Still a few levels down but above niche.
Impersonators are recognizable, and assuming an identical one can be found, it would require a lot of time, during which the most money would have been already squeezed from the artist repertoire. In contrast, they're probably aware that it's just a matter of time until AI technology will allow to build an identical copy with new seemingly authentic material in one day or less.
They're fearing the day powerful AI can be freely used by everyone in uncontrolled way, so that piracy won't even be necessary anymore, because one could simply ask to their local AI terminal: "hey, wake me up tomorrow at 7.30 with Sinatra singing Back in the USSR, then play Pretty Vacant by the Sex Pistols, but sung by Amy Winehouse, while I'm having breakfast". Digital models of artists will become the new big thing that day.
Very few countries have freedom of speech enshrined quite as forcefully as it is in the United States. One really has to wonder where this is going to go? I understand why they want to do it, but once a censorship regime is established it will be very difficult to dislodge. What happens when the next set of elections puts in somebody who uses that power for less than ideal purposes?

That seems highly unlikely to me. What seems most likely is that it's hard to pass the distinctiveness bar for a dress.

Unless you mean "for the fabric shape of a dress alone"? In which case you can get a design patent/registered design.
Consumers won't feel the pressure, so there will be less solidarity and therefore less political will. Very nasty manipulation tactic.
Group A is vaccinated.
Group B is not.

Both groups can catch COVID. Both groups can develop long COVID symptoms.

This fits with "There seem to be plenty of unvaccinated people with long covid."

You said:

"For this to be logical, you need to state that vaccinated people do not have long covid."

Which I don't follow.

- If long COVID is unrelated to being vaccinated, but is caused by having a COVID infection, you would expect both vaccinated and unvaccinated groups to develop long COVID symptoms because they can both have COVID infections.

- If the vaccine causes long COVID (but a COVID infection itself does not) then you would expect non-vaccinated people to not get long COVID.

So if both groups get long COVID symptoms, it seems unlikely that the vaccine causes it while COVID does not. You also can't expect the vaccinated group to report 0 cases of long COVID since they can still have COVID infections.

Perhaps the long COVID rates would be different between the two groups. Or the severity of initial infection and symptoms. Maybe vaccinated people are more likely to have a COVID infection but not report any symptoms or a positive test result at the time of infection because their symptoms are milder.

My point is not to provide evidence or make a claim one way or the other, but just to say that the presence of long COVID in both groups is not evidence that the vaccine itself is causing long COVID.

You can vote however you want, it was a small joke.

I was drawing attention to the fact that "disinformation" is at it's core, someone who has no right to vote in an election trying to influence those who do, and how we often paint lawful, protected speech as disinformation, either by direct retorts "Russian bot!" or... downvoting.

Vote however you want friends, I play by "Whose Line" rules -- it's all made up and the points don't matter... hence accounting for the multi year GAP in my posts.

This is how all phone cameras work now.

The sensors and lenses are small, and now processors are very fast. And as it turns out, the vast majority of people do not want photos or videos that are "accurate" or "real". They want ones that look good.

So, processing has been the name of the game. It's all about making an image people will like to look at, regardless of how different it is from reality.

That's fine. Sure, there are downsides that increase as consumption increases, meaning that overconsumption (however that's defined) is undesirable. However, consumption enables cultural expression that otherwise would be economically untenable. Art, design, music, etc. benefit from economic incentives to overproduce beyond subsistence. That people go above and beyond in their productive capacity in order to enable creators to create freely and contribute to the corpus of human expression is something that should be recognized as the sacrifice for the collective soul that it is.

While I'm mainly an emacs user, I do enjoy using mg from time to time. Especially nice that it comes with macOS nowadays (used to come with age old emacs version). I could probably do everything in mg, but I just cannot stand the auto indendantion in it when you have 8 spaces of indent and write a newline, the next line gets auto indented with a tab instead of 8 spaces (newline-and-indent assumes tabs are every eight characters..) Sure, this is not an issue if you use only tabs, but most projects just tend to be using spaces. Also, I think in OpenBSD mg there is a flag for enabling/disabling this (IIRC).

Nonetheless, I do like mg!
Thanks, so does that mean position within the buffer is irrelevant?

You can have Docker Desktop and Rancher Desktop installed on the same Windows machine. Last I checked, you can't run them both at the same time due to docker socket locations (assuming you run Rancher Desktop using Moby).

Rancher Desktop will provide the CLI tools to work with it.

The idea is "it just works". It's a desktop app so it installs what you need.
> With the exemption of alarm systems (why?)

Probably a "security" reason. If $anybody can get access to tools we use at the factory, bad guys can circumvent the alarm.

I'd imagine that it's pretty similar for game-consoles: literally _any_ tooling/docs that allow $hackers or $pirates to gain any foothold threatens our business model...

I don't think either of those are particularly _good_ arguments, but I'd bet that they're very similar to whatever lobbies were involved in crafting the legislation.

For those interested in farming and inputs to farming, I recommend looking into "No-Till" farming and other regenerative soil building practices. What is being rediscovered is how much cheaper it is to build soil health, which in a few years brings yields up to conventional ag. Methods such as increased soil organic matter through cover crops, reduced tillage to keep mycorrhizal fungi, microbes, and earth worm trails intact. These practices are being shown by ag research universities in the US to greatly reduce the need for inputs (fertilizer) almost entirely in many cases. That is because the bioavailability of nutrients is far higher when plants work with beneficial microbes to acquire nutrients - the way plants evolved was not in tilled soil. And tilled soil becomes hardened and erodes, while untilled or lightly subsoiled earth allows moisture retention and deeper water penetration. While not a rejection of modern ag practices, no-till does take aim at some of the conventional expensive "wisdom" (namely, tillage, heavy fertilizer use, heavy pesticide+herbicide use).
Yes it is, go to consumption in the last 24h and look at the listed electricity trading partners. They're currently net-exporting electricity to Slovenia. Each of the electricity trading partners is labelled by an amount, and a CO2 intensity.

There's also a graph for the origin of electricity that's available in the 24 hour view that shows different origin countries mixed in with different fuel sources.

I struggle to think of any manner in which Netflix can, today, be considered a 'tech' company. They originally were a DVD rental service, then they developed in-house a media-streaming service which briefly gave them a lead but soon became a commodity across the media industry, and now they compete with other media companies on the basis of their content library.

I'm sure they employ lots of software programmers, but so does Disney.
I have no problem with fonts pricing

I have problem with the crazy licensing

Yes, you can use that font, but only for print and websites and your website cannot generate more than 100k views monthly and your business annual revenue can be higher than 1m

If you don't pass these we have more licensing options with different numbers and prices.

if you want an app (is WebView in an APK file an app? Is PWA an app?) there is separate price as well

You can host the font file on your server (browser must obviously download it) but you cannot actually distribute it - whatever that means, it could be risky with open source apps for example

This is so bullshit I prefer to always use Google fonts or any other source of 100% free for anything fonts. You don't want my money - sure, your choice

Perfect is the enemy of good. This right to repair law still covers ~97% of the economy.
For a millenia or two (at least), creatives have lived on a spectrum between folk production for small, immediate audiences and commercial production for the aristocracy or markets distribution.

Copyright, since its much more recent introduction, is the tool for commercial creative to keep the folk creatives away from their money.

The upside for media consumers is higher production value and grander spectacle, which is pretty cool. Copyright lets producers pour a lot of money into art and that allows for a different kind of work.

But yeah, it’s pretty brutal for the countless folk creatives who see something inspiring and aren’t allowed to do cool things with it. Copyright does indeed work against them.

Till a few years back (I am not sure if they still do), banks and finance companies would use heavy-handed methods in order to collect debt. If you go back further in time when there was very little organized lending, farmers would be at the mercy of money lenders. I guess all this has migrated to loan apps with the added bonus of "nudes."

The problem is, desperate people will borrow from anyone under any terms. If it is not this, then it would be some local "moneylender" with muscle.

Sorry if this is a silly question: The article states that if the companies fail to comply then they can be issued with fines worth 6% of the company’s annual revenue. What would happen in the even where one of the companies just said "Nope. We're not paying it."?
In that case I assume the offending company would be dragged into lengthy and expensive legal battles against the EU. But is it likely that the EU could or would also block access to the services offered by these companies?

Huh, didn't know abbrev had that limitation (wonder why?). Gave it a go in espanso (https://espanso.org/), and it does work there.

Edit: it would need context awareness too, which somewhat rules out espanso, otherwise space indentation will be difficult. abbrevs at least can be defined per mode, but ideally it would be based off the face (so it could work in comments or strings).

I think legistlators would make the case that while general purpose computing devices should have right to repair laws, game consoles are machines dedicated to frivolous entertainment and that consumers shouldn't mess with them. It's very silly, but I think it does present activists a schism to exploit. Apple believes that it's phones are a closed ecosystem that they have the sole right to distirbute software and, until recently, provide hardware repairs for. But legislators clearly understand that smart-phones serve an important societal function. Thus they should be subject to right to repair. They will come around eventually on electronic entertainment, There is tons of politcal pressure around farming equipment, and consumer alarm systems (think ring) are due for a whole heap of government regulation.

I come at it from the angle that taking in a horse will costs you inordinate amounts of money upfront, and people are generally ok with it, and won't be crying to get a poney when they're already struggling to pay a mortgage.

If in practice owning a dog or cat will also cost 10k at times, it's only reasonable to take the same approach and consider owning a them as a pretty high luxury, until the costs effectively come down.

Or every pet owner gets to your level of dedication and will assist their pet and the vet when tough times come and hard decisions need to be made. I personally wouldn't have the guts so I'll stick with my goldfishes.
Swift is open source and developped by Apple, but exclusively to be run Apple devices.

Foundation DB as a matter of fact yes is an example of a company bought by Apple, which code has been open sourced and maintained after.

You're right, but I think that's all we can get from Apple open-source contributions unfortunately.

What I think is MS, FB, netflix, others contributed more heavily, by making something 'for the greater good'.

Think of Typescript and LSP for Microsoft (they also created Entourage for Mac).
Hhvm (and php related enhancement) and LLAMA for FB/Meta.
The Chaos Monkeys and the return of experience of their microservices infra for Netflix.
Go, Kubernetes, Android, for Google.
Even Bootstrap from former Twitter.

I'm not specially against Apple, they must have good reasons to follow this philosophy. From my humble point of view and I can be mislead, but it looks like Apple is not so much into the open-source game or sharing their experience.

From this perspective, I suppose it's better they don't acquire Wolfram, but I can be wrong.
