> The Court went on to note that the mental element depends on whether the defendant is a “primary publisher” or a “secondary publisher”. A “primary publisher” may be held liable for defamation regardless of whether it knows of the defamatory material, whereas a “secondary publisher” is only held liable if it knows that what it was publishing contains the passage in question or is reckless or careless as to its containing such a passage

Why stop there? Hacker News is now a "tertiary publisher" because it links to Google.com, which links to defamatory content! Hell, the judge, in the act of commenting on this case, is a 5th-level publisher! For shame!

Well Germany isn't really considered modern by northern EU standards, as would most northern EU citizens tell you. Don't know about Austria however.
> there with a straight face that Czechia is basically like Florida or Michigan

Compared to the median EU country Czechia is basically like Florida or Michigan (e.g. it's GDP per capita is closer to that of the Netherlands the Michigan's is to Massachusetts etc.).

> Go tell someone who’s been there with a straight face that Czechia

The problem is that the EU is significantly poorer on the whole.

I don't agree.

> This is pointless.

I'm really not quite sure what are you trying to say. Economically only Switzerland, Norway and Ireland(*) really have a higher GDP per capita than the US only one of them is even in the EU. Denmark, Netherlands and Sweden (only 39 mil people in total) are not that far off, so are we supposed to ignore all the other countries in the EU because of that?
Could not disagree with this position more.

Teaching kids some proprietary thing that is only available in a special situation, versus teaching them broadly applicable skills that are entirely relevant, after 40 years of computing history, is very much more valuable - as a parent - than the alternative.

Also a parent, also learned to program on an 8-bit system, taught my kids computing with the Raspberry Pi and they still use them for things way beyond the Minecraft zone... just yesterday the younger of the teens figured out how to use his rPi to catch his older brother entering his room. Sure, he could have done that with the micro:bit too - but that would have been an artificial ceiling for things - as it stands, he's been spending the morning working out how to get his brothers' guilty pics uploaded to the family NAS, which is another extremely valuable skill that this teenager has now developed in a matter of days, which would not have been easy to attain with the micro:bit.

I think the micro:bit, as has been mentioned earlier, is proprietary and limited. There's nothing to learn there that can't also be learned on rPi, and the rPi gives far better future-proof opportunities.

The only 'advantage' is that micro:bit might be easier to teach - but that is just excuse-making for poor educational standards. I'd much rather my kids' teachers have the skills and ability to teach them future-proof computer subjects, such as the raspberryPi (the younger one has now just asked for their own Hetzner account) than limit them to proprietary stuff that isn't available anywhere else in the world ..

It is beyond embarassing that we are graduating students who don't know the difference between a File and a Folder, or why you need to format storage devices, or even what a storage device is .. micro:bit will re-enforce that ignorance in a generation of students - raspberryPi entirely discourages it and prepares the student better for the world, imho...
>"In dismissing the innocent dissemination defense, which required that the publisher be a subordinate distributor who did not know or ought not to have known that the matter was defamatory, the Court stated that the defamatory nature of the content was self-evident from an examination of it."

I am no fan of Google, but this seems bizarre to me, since it seems to imply that some human has to read every web page linked by Google. Even to suggest that Google must respond to every complaint of content on third party websites just cannot possibly scale.

On the other, there is a party that is responsible for the defamatory content, namely whatever web app had collected and posted the comments. The claimant should have pursued them, not Google.
> Dr. Duffy posted a web report on the website “Ripoff Report” complaining about her dissatisfaction with the services she had received from the psychics on the Kasamba site. She also commented on the reports of others about the psychics. She created a chat group “kasambavictims” on Yahoo. Dr. Duffy also posted messages under a pseudonym, and began to email the site complaining that her friend’s wife had committed suicide due to bad advice given by the psychics. This was untrue.

Very interesting part. Later in the article:

> In relation to justification (truth), the Court found no evidence supporting Google’s argument that Dr. Duffy stalked or persistently and obsessively harassed any of the psychics.

Am I missing something important here? Dr. Duffy clearly defamed a business with a lie, and some other people (other site users) pointed this up, in a very cruel way, to her in a forum with user submitted content. Then Dr. Duffy sues Google instead of the Ripoff Report forum?

OpenBTS is a thing
I would like to see a single address space kernel with hardware for permissions and remapping split. This would enable virtually tagged and indexed caches all the way down to the last level cache without risking aliasing. There could be special cases for a handful permissions checks using (base,size) for things like the current stack, largest few code blocks etc. relieving the pressure on the page based permission check hardware which could also run in parallel with cache accesses (just pretty please don't leave observable uarch state changes behind on denied accesses). To support efficient fork() the hardware could differentiate between local and global addresses by xor or add/sub the process identifier into the address if a tag bit is present in the upper address bits. This should move a lot of expensive steps off the critical path to memory without breaking anything userspace software has to do. Add a form of efficient delegation of permissions (e.g. hardware protected capabilities) and you have the building blocks to allow very fast IPC even for large messages.
Thanks. I'm OK with a single layer just showing the outlines of coastlines and regions, including the names of regions. I think a suitable simplified world map could fit all this in SVG.

edit: Initially underestimated so did some calculations below

Key Data Points for Estimate of SVG Size

- Radius of Earth: 6371 km
- Surface Area of Earth: 510e6 km^2
- Approximate Number of Countries: 250
- Land Area of Earth: 29% of Surface Area = 150e6 km^2

Corrections and Estimations Based on Average Country Size

- Average Land Area per Country: 150e6 km^2 / 250 = 6e5 km^2
- Country Closest to Average Size: Ukraine, with 603550 km^2, or roughly 6e5 km^2
- World Resources Institute Measure of Ukraine Coastline: 4953 km, or around 5e3 km

Assumptions for SVG Complexity

1. Only coastlines matter for the paths.
2. Resolution set at 10 meters.

SVG Data Calculations and Estimates

- Coastline Points for Average Country:
- 5e3 km = 5e6 m
- Equals 5e5 X,Y points (at 10m resolution)
- Total Points for All Countries:
- 250 countries * 5e5 points = 1.25e8 X,Y points
- Storage Requirement for Each Point:
- 6 figures per coordinate + delimiters = roughly 15 bytes
- Total Storage = 1.25e8 points * 15 bytes = ~1.875e9 bytes or about 1.875 GB

Even with a simplified approach, we're looking at an SVG that'd be almost 2 GB, just for coastlines at a 10m resolution. Definitely some hefty complexities in play here.

What about 1000m resolution? 20 megabytes. Much more achievable.

Paging implemented naively needs a handful of extra memory accesses to fetch and decode page tables, for each application memory access, which is obviously very expensive. Which is why we have TLBs, which are (small) caches of page table data.

However, the 4kiB page size that is typically used and is baked into most software was decided on in the mid-1980s, and is tiny compared to today's memory and application working set sizes, causing TLB thrashing, often rendering the TLB solution ineffective.

Whatever overhead software memory protection would add is likely going to be small in comparison to cost of TLB thrashing. Fortunately, TLB thrashing can be reduced/avoided by switching to larger page sizes, as well as the use of sequential access rather than random access algorithms.

There was a recent history hit podcast about this. Apparently their first job on invasion was to assassinate anyone who knew where their arms were stored, including local British officials and ex-members of the unit.

My thinking here is a good UI might be beneficial? Even the backup solution would be cool enough if there is a good UI to do all this interaction.

In future, if we get good traction we want to leverage the fact that lots of editors would have signed up on the platform and make some sort of community around them so that they can find work easily via market place.
So, they will wait until the attention wears off, then try to push it through again.

That is how the Commission operates. No wonder that many, including me, have serious trust issues towards them.

That's awesome, and is another reason why schools using the micro:bit approach, versus raspberryPi, are artificially limiting their students reach and horizon for computing.

> and yet another few million pieces of e-waste are generated

That's money generated while the e-waste is not factored in. I know I'm stating the obvious. But it's a problem with being realistic, as you start seeing idiosyncrasies everywhere: I run my household on 4g as I can reach realistic speeds of 100Mb/s. Theoretically that goes up to 150Mb/s. A 4k stream (compressed without visual loss) requires 15Mb/s. So 10 people in a household could simultaneously watch 4k content.

Did I fail at math? Why does anyone need 5g? What for?

Debugging compilers in Clojure
I'm dealing with this in a slightly different context right now - installing cellular remote access/VPN appliances in industrial manufacturing equipment. The equipment is required to have a lifespan of at least 10 years. Our adjacent equipment regularly lasts double that. Some of the equipment is built around castings and transformers that are 4-10x that age.

But they also want me to be able to dial into the equipment later, and won't give me WAN access. But no cellular vendor in their right mind will certify that the adjoining towers will have any particular frequency available for more than ~5 years, typically limiting it to a warranty of 3 years. This isn't the only pain point - what about the licensing server that the proprietary IDE for the PLC calls out to? The operating system on which said IDE is installed? Security protocols on the SCADA uplink? Replacement parts and critical spares? Good luck!

Unfortunately, a huge amount of industry is effectively subsidized by breakneck investment in consumer smartphones, automotive, and PC equipment. People don't care or don't understand that their choices on the showroom floor for the glossier, flashier, 'smarter' gear result in painful, expensive obsolescence just a couple years in the future. Manufacturers are only incentivized to sell new products and ignore old products, we need a massive shift in consumer preference if we want to avoid this.

> certain losers with a deeply entrenched lobby

Excellent point and phrasing! And it suggests what needs to be done to move things along: (a) make them not losers & (b) decrease the ability to entrench lobbying.

To (a), I don't think we do enough of directly buying out stakeholders. E.g. if we know moving to single-payer insurance would be beneficial to the system as a whole (we probably don't, but just an example), why not explicitly pay off private insurance companies, phased out over 10 years? Everyone would still win!

To (b), the key is the corruption of should-be-objective decisions. To me, regulatory-industry revolving doors are the most important, because they're the greatest source of invisible-at-the-time corruption (e.g. you sway a decision... 15 years later you get a cushy "retirement job" in industry). Fundamentally, I don't think there's a way you get around that, absent banning it (above a certain level of regulatory authority) and substituting equivalent economic compensation. Continuously finding selfless, competent people to staff regulatory services is not a sustainable model. So pay them so the "selfless" isn't a requirement (even if you have to tax industry more heavily to do so).

Indeed, passing data from the secondary to the primary of the transformers is actually hard, adding the handling of voltage transient spikes would make it even more expensive.
