Btw there is this (commercial) tool that turns Flash to webassembly.

What they actually do is they run whole Linux (!!) in VM in webassembly, then they run the officially licensed Adobe Flash player there (and you need a separate license for that from... Harman? as those now own Flash IP).

There is just no desire in Germany to go there. That said, why is Estonia still a net EU receiver of funds then?
Yes, one can easily build this.
I don't get it. Wasn't the cost of sending people to get readings externalized also?
Sure: "blast ... on ... campus".

What kind of post truth are we living in when you can calmly believe in a building being bombed when that building is still standing the next day and there is footage of a bomb striking two buildings away?

Foe reference the individuals and organizations pushing for the mass surveillance of the EU citizens under the guise of protecting the children are:

Ylva Johansson, the EU Home Office Commissioner. She's openly anti-encryption and has said she doesn't care about privacy or security concerns. She won't even meet with any group that disagrees with her.

Thierry Breton, the European Commissioner for Internal Market. He is working with Ylva Johansson and Thorn to pass Chat Control.

Monique Pariat, European Commission’s Director-General for Migration and Home Affairs

Catherine de Bolle, Europol Executive Director

Julie Cordua, CEO of Thorn.

Cathal Delaney, Former Europol employee who now works for Thorn.

Ruiz Perez, Senior former Europol official Fernando, who now is on Thorn's board.

Alan M. Parker, British billionaire, and founder of the Oak Foundation that bankrolls the fake charities lobbying for Chat Control.

Chris Cohn, British billionaire hedge fund manager and Google activist investor. He provides funding for anti-encryption lobbying in the North American and the EU.

Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore. They try to whitewash Thorn's actions while lobbying on their behalf. The EU government let them bypass civil rights groups with their lobbying due to their fame. Other actors involved with Thorn can be found [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(organization)).

Ernie Allen, chair of the WeProtect Global Alliance, WPGA, and former head of the National Centre for Missing & Exploited Children, NCMEC, in the US. Part of the network of fake charities and corrupt organizations lobbying to ban encryption and privacy.

Sarah Gardner, former Thorn employee and now the head of the Heat Initiative. Part of the network of fake charities and corrupt organizations lobbying to ban encryption and privacy. She's focus on US lobbying.

Lily Rhodes, former Thorn employee and now the director of strategic operations at the Heat Initiative. Part of the network of fake charities and corrupt organizations lobbying to ban encryption and privacy. She's focus on US lobbying.

Maciej Szpunar, Polish Advocate General at the European Court of Justice. Wants to use the proposal for prosecuting copyright infringement.

Other individuals involved are: Margrethe Vestager, Margaritis Schinas, Antonio Labrador Jimenez, Douglas Griffiths, Javier Zarzalejos.

A non exhaustive list of the fake charities and corrupt organizations involved:

ECPAT, Eurochild, Missing Children Europe, Internet Watch Foundation, Terre des Hommes, Brave Movement, Thorn, Oak Foundation, WeProtect Global Alliance, Justice Initiative, Purpose

Organizations operating more in North America:
Hopewell Fund, Heat Initiative, Children’s Investment Fund Foundation

Finally, let's not forget that Ashton Kutcher, the darling of VCs, had to step down from his position at Thorn after submitting letters in support of their fellow actor and friend, a convicted rapist.

If he is willing to push for such privacy invasive measures in EU, he won't stop there, he will come for you in the US as well.
Just because it can’t scale, doesn’t mean it isn’t wrong.

There is no right to a scalable business model. If you can’t figure out how to do your business without doing it right, you shouldn’t be doing it.

Our local coal fired power plant has been yelling for decades that they can’t possibly make a profit and meet all the environmental obligations. Well… guess what.
It looks like part of this is to do with some Balkan nations and non-biometric passports.

For instance, coming from Bosnia if you had a biometric passport you would need ETIAS, otherwise a full actual visa, but if you are actually on a Bosnian passport you must use ETIAS, which implies you are compelled to use a biometric passport.

This makes me think there is something off about users of non-biometric passports in that area.
Those compact layouts that exclude a delete key typically replace it with Fn + Backspace.

I'm not saying there aren't scenarios where ctrl + backspace would be useful, however the majority of the time I'd argue that delete is available and should be used.

Is the desire for a ctrl + backspace chord coming from some other system where this is the standard keying?
There's a lot of historical reasons overlapping here. One is that the country is so large that having that information be public is one of the ways the public protects itself from predatory behaviors... Otherwise, somebody can skip over to another jurisdiction and continue the behaviors they used to cheat people the next town over. In the era before mass communication that was a real problem (the "traveling snake oil salesman" is one iconic example), So making records public to anyone willing to go search them was the least protection the governments could provide.

The calculus changes in the era of ubiquitous communication and digital search, but broadly speaking Americans still feel they should be protected from the snake oil salesman.
What did you enjoy about it? Curious!
Pay cash at a restaurant in Germany and ask for a receipt (I have an expense report to fill out) and they look at you like you're a dead rat in the street.

Ask for a receipt at the hotel, and you better make sure you ask for an "non-German" receipt, otherwise you get a six page dossier.

Oddly it seems to me the further south you go, the less modern things get. Is there some correlation with the climate or something?
I live in Switzerland and had never heard of the EHIC before. Switzerland not being part of the European Union means that some of those international cooperations don't always work as well as they should.
>but it feels like kids would rather use a phone or a tablet to do anything

Easy is the enemy of Good. People opt for the easy and lazy way, because learning is hard.

Kids, encouraged to learn the hard things, become better and better at making those hard things easier for themselves. Kids, encouraged only to do the bare-minimum, 'easy approach' to things, only learn how to avoid doing anything hard.

Disclaimer: anecdotal parent experience. Its always better to learn how to do things the hard way than the easy way.
For those who don't know, the US requires every foreign visitor to get approved for entry via ESTA, which is basically a visa in every conceivable way except that they don't call it one. It's also essentially identical to ETIAS, the system mentioned in this article.

IMO, ESTA is and has always been always a blatant violation of the Visa Wavier treaty, so it's not unreasonable for Europe to respond in kind.
I saw the title as "build your own twitter". -_-!
The problem with Unikernels is that there is no middle ground between a button smashing user and a kernel hacker. If you open the hood everything is part of the kernel and most (all?) existing examples of Unikernels lack proper tracing and debugging support. It will feel like debugging an eight bit MCU (printf() and GPIO writes) running a far larger (and complex) code base through upward emulation.
We actually breathe out most of our previously-us mass.

Aliens from different biospheres will never be able to have physical contact.

If they are close in biochemistry the dangers are extreme to catastrophic. If we actually found a crashed UFO with bodies we should drop a thermonuclear bomb on it immediately. Just ask the Native Americans.

If they are not biochemically close chances are we and our environment would be horribly toxic, freezing, or boiling hot to them and vice versa.
RE "...ut let's say even $500 for something that lasts 8 years is still much cheaper than sending people to get the readings ..." If a meter is read every 3 months, that is 32 reads in 8 years. That's about $15 a read In my street, it takes a meter reader about 2 minutes max to read , record a meter and walk to next meter. need to allow for overheads, so to me its unknown if it actually is cheaper or not to send a human ???
This speaks more to the competence of the educators than the technology itself.

How will that help the issue that the module keeps waking up and trying to send data until it succeeds?
Would you even have heard of those "top few percent" of musicians if there wasn't some way for them the capture some of the value they create, both for themselves, and to pay for marketing etc? Or would they just play for fun for a few friends? Why bother?
Yes, there are conditions of people and project where you can avoid those.

But they a are plenty of situation when it becomes too hard, such as when you can't constraint a designer to your implementation details, or that same semantic concepts have different UI cases.

The danger would be organisms that simply eat our biochemistry but are entirely immune to any of our defenses. Think flesh eating bacteria from space, only it also basically eats our entire biosphere.
We’re a few decades into a climate catastrophe; the world consumes far too many resources and energy. If nothing changes fundamentally, our grandchildren are going to live in a dystopian wasteland.
And yet somehow screens in front of fridges seem to be a good idea to some?
No. Partially, modernity was paid for by other countries and less legacy (some new EU members), the classic Nordics are all high tax and small - so consensus is easy. In large countries the cost of changing things and supporting laggards is also much higher (and a few % opposition is a lot of people in Germany or Italy, for example)
I had a BBC B growing up and I didn't know what a folder was, nor what a storage device is. Unless you count the giant 5 1/4 floppy drive.

If I'm Google I'd just stop indexing this site after the ruling and also talk to my competitors and suggest they do the same because it's bad for them. Seems like they index it but downweight already.

Pretty interesting ruling that a search engine is basically liable for autocomplete (and thus the content they index). The original website seems pretty shady and not being indexed should basically destroy their business model long term.
No. You have a 2 hour window and 30 raspberry pi's. How long do you spend fixing them versus teaching?

It's just a fucking computer, not a world changing thing. They already have computers that don't have all the downsides but do have all of the upsides.
The view cached page link on google is a copy of a website stored on googles servers. IANAL but using automated software to blindly ingest everything under the sun and then redistribute it does not seem like an argument any court would accept for why they shouldn't be liable for what they're publishing. Also it seems like the issue in the article is that she specifically went through their take-down process and they still didn't remove it.
The meters tend not to have a user interface that would allow someone to configure them to connect to the home internet router.
Irrespective of this specific ruling, the laws don't need to make Google's business scale or even be viable. Google should only exist if its business can comply with the rules we created for our society.
I assume you're in Europe. Voting and democracy aren't it's strong point. Did you vote for Ursula Von Der Leyden as your president?
Not to argue the overall point (retrying on a tight loop is not a good solution), but many of the models support communication the other way—e.g., remotely starting the car, adjusting the HVAC, etc.

So there is some justification for trying to keep a cell signal established or checking in more frequently than every 15 minutes or so. Someone attempting to remote start their car not having it actually respond for 15 minutes is likely to already be outside trying to leave and pissed off that they’re walking out to a cold car with iced up windows and thinking that the “remote start didn’t work”.
I tend to like trains but it's not generally true that you can buy a last minute ticket for a competitive price. It is true in some places but not in the UK or the US (for Amtrak), for example.

>There's no large list of luggage size and weight rules

I get one or two checked bags free with my usual airline and schlepping around a big bag actually tends to be harder with train than checking a bag on a plane.

I like taking trains and will in Europe even if it takes a bit longer but it's not universally a frictionless experience and can take a lot longer and cost more--certainly relative to budget airlines (which I admittedly don't take).
There’s no instructions for GC’d languages. That was the old Jazelle ARM extension (which could microcode some of java’s bytecode for direct execution).

The “javascript instruction” is FJCVTZS, which is a rounding mode matching x86 semantics, which is incidentally what JS specifies for double -> int32 conversions, and soft-coding it on top of FCVTZS it is rather expensive (it requires a dozen additional instructions to fix up edge cases).

This is beneficial to javascript (on the order of a percentage point on some benchmarks suites, however pure javascript crypto can get high double digits gains), but it’s also beneficial for any replication of x86 rounding on ARM, including but not limited to emulating x86 on arm (aka Rosetta 2).
Yet another reason I'm glad I've been refusing my energy suppliers' repeated offers to install a smart meter over the past 10 years.
I wouldn't do very small batches like 1 jar. But something like doing 1 gallon of wine vs 5 gallons, or doing a 1-2 gallon crock of kraut vs a 5-10 gallon crock.

AFAIK yellow + green is only ever used for turning traffic and is always installed together with a regular 3-bulb traffic light for the other directions. Stand-alone two-bulb traffic lights are always red + yellow, with red on top, just as usual.
> Usually .com domains were used by commercial entities

I must disagree. Even in the early days, even though that was the intended use of the .com TLD, it has always actually been used as the default TLD instead of the .net TLD.

I really hate it, but whenever I see a .com I have never, and will never assume it has some sort of commercial angle.
I figure experience is valuable to potential employers in two ways: (1) what you can do & (2) what you know.

Usually, switching industries past a certain point of tenure wipes out (2), as so much of the expert knowledge is specific.

In this case, she obviously wasn't only a spreadsheet-reconciler: this lady knows thousands of things about banking that I don't. And probably that new, entry-level people at her company have no idea about.

Ergo, the company would get the most benefit from assigning her new responsibilities where that information is valuable. Specifically, something in middle management where her intuition of "... that doesn't sound quite right, tell me more about..." would help prevent bad decisions.
Well, the summary states:

> and, because it was on notice that the material was defamatory and refused to remove the information, it could not be found to have innocently circulated the information.

So in very least this is not just about linking to something, but about not removing defamatory content when being put on notice. The obligation to respond to requests and remove certain content from a search engine sounds a lot less unreasonable than merely being guilty of linking to something.
Looks like a Playdate (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playdate_(console)).
That would also imply that there is no right for individuals to have a productive life with plenty of free time per day.

Since burdensome, long-lasting, legally required procedures can also be imposed by a court on an individual.

Seems like a slippery slope to be honest.
If you didn't vote in your country's election, then yeah, you probably didn't vote for it. But otherwise, you did. It's just that Europe operates under representative democracy rather than direct democracy.
Not a scammer, per se, but a competitor. Easier to compete when the other products have all been taken down.

The people who advocate for such double standards may have their own agenda.

E.g. occupying a position of a "decolonization" officer somewhere (some institution of higher learning?) and having a secure job with no performance reviews + power over others until they retire.
That is the benefit I see. The scammer is eliminating the competition.
This is just ... not how I look at it at all. Everything is represented in powers of two... binary.

It's a really strange post truth world when it gets reported that Israel bombed a church, Israel confirms it bombed a church, and yet some people refuse to believe it.

It's not feasible to make glass doors on coolers much thicker, or else they'd be too heavy to move for a significant portion of the population without a motor or hydraulics.
Thank-you. Yes, it's already there in Excel.

The next step may be Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY), so even N nearly duplicate formulae for N rows is N-1 more times than needed.

It's not so bad with one column, but after rearranging a dozen columns and copy-pasting some corrections, the question becomes, "Is everything still working okay, or do I need to skip lunch?"

There's ways around, like a `CURRENT_ROW()` function. That makes it generic.

Understandably, it can be a hassle to type extra functions all the time. Boilerplate for one-liners isn't fun; the whole point is rapid iteration and prototyping.

Just saying, if a model is important enough to keep around and maintain, put in some pragmatic checks--just like your example.

I'd imagine the over-X disinclination to retrain is mostly a discomfort with being uncomfortable.

By X, in a single career, you've generally got a pretty good handle on things (and life).

In contrast to 20/30, when everything is constantly new and you are constantly uncomfortable.

Thus, big difference in how well the uncomfortable muscle is exercised. 20/30 -> novel situation you suck at -> business as usual. Over X -> " -> WTF.

And, as you say, the key to retaining that capability is... make sure you continue exercising that muscle!
