This is more trouble than it's worth for the mathematicians of today. What exactly is gained from these ORCIDs? A DOI auto-generates a clickable link, allows for automatic reference tracking, and (hardly an intended feature but perhaps the best one) helps readers find a copy in places like sci-hub and LibGen (on sci-hub, DOI is the only lookup option that currently works). With an ORCID, I could make it double-clear that the D. E. Knuth I'm citing is the real Donald Ervin Knuth. Nice, but I'm supposed to learn a new command and spend 10 minutes researching authors per paper for that?
To me this seems more like 10 teams of people worked on the functionality, each isolated internationally and corporately from each other, and had to solve their own contingencies, with no entity really in charge of the system as a whole.

One time I bought a car and the person trying to scare me into purchasing a warrantee told me that there were "60 computers" in like a 2015 Hyundai Elantra, which I understood to mean ICs, but that still seemed like an excessive amount and a product of commoditizing every part of a car.
They also did very un-Microsofty thing where the software will need to be rewritten and rebuilt for every new version (Windows CE -> Windows 7 -> Windows 8). They ditched backwards compatibility.

Perhaps they expected they will see so much adoption that the existing ecosystem will be dwarfed. Guess who got dwarfed for good.

I apologize for the late reply, I hope you end up seeing this. The Mindbloom program isn't as powerful as getting an IV or intramuscular injection (IM). I believe this is because you aren't hospitalized for the treatment. I've received my Ketamine pills, along with a face mask, a blood pressure monitor, and a journal to record my thoughts so that I can speak to a clinician the following day, and learn to integrate what I came across into a therapeutic way. The pills are definitely the least effective method, but the only method that can be done in an outpatient setting. You let the pill dissolve between your cheek and gum for 7 minutes, then you spit out the saliva and rinse your mouth. After that, you lie down with the face mask, and have a sitter nearby that can monitor you.

From my understanding, the experience is very close to DXM (dextromethorphan) from cough syrup, like Robitussin DM. It's a disassociative anesthetic, so my understanding is that you will have feelings and thoughts arise, but be able to examine them "from a distance", as far as being disconnected from them and able to be more objective. I'm really excited to try it, I've had anxiety since 1999, have been given so many different drugs, and have been through biofeedback, cognitive therapy, as well as more new age treatments like meditation. If this doesn't work for me, my next step is probably microdosing psilocybin, but that carries a little bit of legal risk right now (where I'm located).
I remember fiddling with my dad's Pocket PC in the early 2000s. My little mind was blown when I saw that tiny screen with a Start menu.
Astro-Dodge's Dirty Video Tricks
We have a large amount of power meter data demonstrating that elite and pro cyclists do not, in fact, exert much force on the rising stroke when in the saddle. They maintain a net downward force on the pedal most of the time. The benefit of clipless pedals is repeatable positioning and the ability to start the downstroke right at top dead center, without slipping off the pedal. The benefit is not from powering the backstroke.
Today there is no legal requirement for laptop manufacturers to implement "safe content" setting and, as I am aware, there is no such OS-level settings in any OS.

iOS seems to have "parental controls", but they are implemented in the worst way possible. For example, to restrict access to websites, you have to manually enter the domains into black or white lists [1]. It seems like Apple tried to comply with some kind of regulations the cheapest way.

There should be just a single checkbox, because I don't think there are many people who are ready to manually compile white lists of websites and browse through those complicated settings.

If you go to the "Charts" tab, October 2023 (thus far) has had an order of magnitude fewer layoffs than January 2023. Nokia is not included in this set. Including their 14k layoffs would bring the total to about 20k layoffs, which is still 4x lower than January.

And the answer is the same as the answer has always been. When the market fails, you need to look to law and policy. It's really that simple.

We've done it a bit, Apple's little wrist-slap for slowing down the iPhones, for example.

This is correct accept that there are 3 DSN sites, Canberra, Madrid, and Ft. Irwin, California, each with a variety of different antennas. They're roughly spaced 120 degrees around the globe from each other so that full coverage of the sky is always maintained. Each has a 70m dish which I believe is the only antenna with enough gain to communicate with Voyager these days.

I'm not disagreeing with the above comments though I am curious about the factor of how much energy output a person is actually capable of. Running isn't leisurely and you can reach (as far as I know) maximum physical (cardiac?) output running. My point being it's not like there is unused capacity to work harder when you're running that's making you slower. So there must be more to it than just doing more at times you'd otherwise be idle.
I think you’re imagining the hip muscles pull the entire leg up, but you’re pinning a double hinge between your body weight above and the pedal below. There are a lot of different muscles in the leg that you can activate to stay upright, but outside of yoga or tai chi most of us lock a bunch of them up and don’t think about them. Which is both a shame and a route to injury.

Similarly there as a few different muscles that can bring your knee up if it’s pinned between your hip and a pedal. The hamstring being one of them. Though personally (as an enthusiast rather than a pro) I always felt like I had more stamina from just driving through the bottom of the stroke. I only pulled up on hills and when someone tried to drop us.

Maybe puritans would have objected to the poor using the internet to get their rocks off in 2007. However, in 2023 - I cannot imagine anyone applying for a job without using the internet in some fashion. Could one discover job openings in a newspaper and mail their resume by post and wait for a phone call? Perhaps, but even McJobs have QR codes now.

I have no doubt that anyone in the US who doesn't have internet access is severely disadvantaged on the job market (or even accessing Khan academy). Yes, they may use most of the bandwidth for entertainment,but gatekeeping what poor people should do with their resources seems a tad paternalistic, this includes policing what should be in the shopping baskets of SNAP beneficiaries.
My kid was involved with a Roblox airline, not this one. He just 'retired' as a C-level executive so he could go off to college. He still consults to the group.

Here's the fail in your plan: I'll register "mommylookaway.com", make it a simple web proxy like proxysite.com, and set the content flag to child safe. Making it illegal does nothing, just as law doesn't stop spreading other illegal material over the internet, right at this moment.

Telegram etc can also have web frontends that do the same.

There's no easy way around this, and that's because of a totally different reason. The reason being that the cause for all this is control, namely government control and surveillance over the populace. Companies profit from this and governments can increase their power with this, so they are natural allies in this scenario - government has the will and power over law, and companies have the know-how and the technical means, and of course a similar thirst of power.

Situations like this must not be mistaken for the technicalities that they present. It's simply the next step in the power grab.

In my perspective, it's less about the presentation, and more about the motivations involved.

If the EFF is motivated to reach out to the original DMCA recipient, then they could definitely present this avenue. That leads us to the next question, is the original DMCA recipient interested in pursuing a (now funded) defense? If not, are they interested in handing it off to someone else? Who? Would that person be an effective defendant?

Really, what we are doing here is speculating on one person's level of disinterest in pursuing the legal defense of their work.
For those who want it; there are instances which don’t really defederate at all. If you’re into weird Nazis, they’re absolutely available.

That was my first impression too, but it actually makes sense. According to a linked article by the same author:

> it’s apparent that during Game Mode, the game was given exclusive use of the two E cores, and threads from other processes fixed at low QoS, which would require them to be run on the E cores, were kept waiting. The game’s threads were run on a combination of E and P cores, with much of their load being concentrated on the E cores. This appears to be energy-efficient, and ideal for use on notebooks running on battery power.

So: the E cores are resevered for the use of games, but the game still makes use of some P cores.

> The worst thing to happen to home automation was companies trying to lock customers into their ecosystem without greater interoperability.

It’s not just home automation, commercial automation is full of single source vendor ‘solutions’.

Building automation: Johnson Controls, Carrier, Siemens, Honeywell, Trane (and others) all provide proprietary controllers and software. There are some ‘open’ systems where multiple dealers sell a product line, Distech and Alerton are the big ones that I’ve seen.

Fire alarm: Johnson Controls (Simplex), Siemens, Honeywell, Bosch. Honeywell has their own internal product line that they sell, as well as two other lines that they have dealers sell (Notifier and Silent Knight).

Nurse call, duress, security, surveillance (and probably other low-voltage/control systems I’m not familiar with) have the same problems with proprietary systems.

This is true in American elections too. I can’t remember the exact number, but something like 80% (or more) of elections are won by the candidate with more money.

A lot of Windows CE licensees had access to quite a lot of the source code, or at least most of the parts that would be interesting for "maintanenace" anyway.

Even though in paper Windows CE's and Android/Linux licensing could not be more different, they are in practice more similar than one would think. You'd get the source, you'd make your modifications, and you'd (not be allowed to|get away with) not redistribute the source.

(is it like, your torrent client will silently update files, and if you dont want to update anymore you need to pause? can you still seed if you dont want to update?)
I doubt that. For example, look at iOS "parental controls". Judging by screenshots [1] here, it is a complicated system that requires a parent to be a system administrator not to get lost in hundreds of settings. For example, you might have to manually compile a white list of websites, white list of apps etc.

The system is so complicated that I think many parents simply get confused and do not want to use it.

Instead there should be a single checkbox: "allow safe content only on this device". That's all (and you can leave detailed settings for system administrators).

I suspect the underlying assumption here is that each WASM module/program would/could likely exist in its own unikernel on the hypervisor. Which is something I guess you could do since boot and startup times could be pretty minimal. How you would share state between the two, I'm unclear on, though.

The question is.. if you have full isolation and separation of the processes etc... why are you bothering with the WASM now?
But now the promise goes from "kids can only see safe things" to "kids can only see safe things unless they want to see a single unsafe thing, then they see everything". With "safe things" being a government-created whitelist, it's going to be pretty easy for almost every kid to want "unsafe things" that aren't porn or gore. They'll want to play games (by your standards, even a T rated game is unsafe since it's T for Teen, not T for Twelve-Year-Old), watch whatever videos (zero anime/cartoon/whatever streaming sites would be deemed safe), and use social media. This whole filter would be pointless if you accept it being easy to get around.

Again, people love to spread despair! In fact, without much thought probably all of us can remember many examples of doing exactly that.

(And even if we had never done it, that is not a barrier.) The only thing we have to fear is despair. We are wealthy, young, capable and powerful; we can accomplish enormous things. No wonder the status quo loves to spread despair - they have no other defense: Imagine if people left behind all that despair and started acting!
I was a member, and followed the bankruptcy. All I lost in the bankruptcy was about two weeks of paid membership. Mostly, their costs came from rent. They had some nice high-visibility locations. Those were expensive. They exaggerated revenue to borrow money to open more locations, like many tech startups.[1] The bankruptcy did show some high travel costs, but since they had 10 locations spread over the US, that's not unreasonable.

The gym-type business model of pay by the month and get all the tool time you can use, just did not work out.

Another fun failure mode is when you don’t quite trust your handlebars. I’m either not going to pull on these or I’m gonna stop before the Big Hill to find an Allen wrench and tighten these stupid things. I think the new design is meant to prevent a lot of that.

Which telecom company specifically is releasing people's records?
They mean greener quite literally. Satellite imagery is spectrally analyzed and more of the light reflected from the earth's surface is in a frequency range considered "green." It doesn't mean ecologically friendly. Replacing rainforest with oil palm monoculture is extremely destructive ecologically, but oil palms are just as green as any other tree.

Also, if they're analyzing water color as well, large-scale algal blooms can conceivably result in a greener surface, but they're a pretty bad thing because they suck up too much oxygen too quickly out of the water and kill everything else.
I like some aspects of this approach, but two points don't work well with me.

1. It shouldn't be a legal requirement for parents to enable this on their kids devices. This should mearly be an option available to parents. Do not tell me how to raise my kids.

2. "Safe for kids" is pretty nebulous, and you already know certain dumpy states would abuse the hell out of this (i.e. declaring content "unsafe for kids" if it features a man with effeminate characteristics).

Maybe a solution to the latter problem would be to use content descriptors instead of a blanket "safe for kids" flag. i.e. individual flags for pornography, graphic violence, naughty words, etc.
Perhaps it is telling about my preconceptions that with 'fair' I jumped to the conclusion that it meant 'equal say' within a team. As you and riwsky rightly point out, fairness can mean a system that consistently prioritises specific expertise in discussions.

This whole discussion thread (the whole thing, not just this branch) appears to have gone the way it did because people took the marketing site at face value and thought this was intended a general tool for OECD-state offices, but it seems it’s actually aimed at imposing surveillance on low-status offshore remote teams.
