The only way this is possible is if the sails are moving at a different airspeed than the sailors, which is only possible if 1) the sailor is running up and down the deck or 2) there is an windspeed gradient with altitude, which the sails penetrate by virtue of being tall.

If you had something that needed very easy setup but also scalability, you could do it all as a monolith and not have anything else to set up besides just the one app and your certificates, and they'd just all automatically find each other.

I'm not sure how else you could do that besides a DHT without a central database or manually assigning certain pieces of data to specific servers.

While this is true, the frequency and ease in which engines are swapped does allow the potential for innovation to creep into the space. We’ve made ICE engines smaller and more efficient over the last 3/4 of a century - but the FAA doesn’t seem to car about GA and likely won’t let anything innovative into non-experimental aircraft, which is a shame. Their argument is always safety, but we have ways to test for that and most of the GA engine designs we still see are from an era where they were not as concerned and were effectively grandfathered in.
I’d say no because comparing a human brain to chatGPT isn’t really fair nor am I sure they work in identical way. chatGPT can and have spat out raw content it was trained on.

You understand the words you read in a book, you get the message out of it and are able to resonate and have thoughts. ChatGPT doesn’t, it just scrambles words based on statistics.

You, writing content based on your influence should not be counted as copyright violation in my opinion. But giving some credit isn’t a bad practice either.

If you did copy and paste the contents of the book and call it yours, then that should be counted as copyright violation (there are probably exceptions to this).

I think what some people are currently against is openai (closed ai) scraping all kinds of content on the web and build a fantastic product like chatgpt without compensation or giving credit. They have essentially built an amazing product on the shoulders of lots of creators without them earning anything from it.

Is that fair? I don’t think so. But that’s just me.

This might be a bit irrelevant, but Github training their ai on repositories without consent or consideration of their license wasn’t cool either.

> Why then would per-country emissions matter?

It's because "per-" means different things in "per-capita" and "per-country". In "per-capita", we're dividing emissions by population to get a single number. In "per-country", we're listing the individual emissions of each country. If "per-country" were instead just the total global emissions divided by the number of countries of Earth, then it indeed wouldn't matter either.

> Is Vatican City the best model of a sustainable climate paradise?

Not necessarily, but it is the wrong place to focus if your goal is to reduce total emissions. Imagine trying to optimize a computer program that takes 4 hours to run. If one function's total runtime during the program's execution is 100 milliseconds, even if it's super inefficient and could be rewritten to run in 1 millisecond instead, doing so is not useful progress in speeding up the whole program.
And, there's no reason why fossil fuels would be needed to provide the energy.

That being said, arbitrators might side with large corporations more than a judge would. Alsom, IANAL but part 11 of the settling disputes section seems to say that it's still possible to do a class action lawsuit against them.

There are several issues here which tends to get mixed up a lot.

Yes, a dpkg is built for a distribution, and not only that but a specific version of a distribution. So they tend to get re-built a lot. But this is something buildhosts do. What you upload is the package source.

If you want to distribute a package to work on "Linux" in general, then you can't build it for a specific distribution. Then you bundle all the shared libraries and other dependencies. (Or make a static build, but for various reasons this is less common.) Do not try to rely on the naming scheme of openssl, or anything else really. This is what most games do, and the firefox tarball, and most other commercical software for Linux.

There are of course downsides to this. You have to build a new package if your openssl has a security issue, for example. But that's how most software is distributed on most other operating systems, including Windows. This is also how Docker images are built.

The alternative is to build packages for a specific distribution and release, and as stated above, that takes a bit of integration work.

There are issues with both alternatives, but they should not be confused.

Easily clarified, and I'm happy to use people's preferred pronouns, but let's not pretend there isn't the loss of precision there.
> There is no Apple secret sauce.

I don't think that's quite true. It's clearly a combination of better microarchitecture (very wide decode, 128 byte cache lines, etc), and also massively bigger area budgets. Maybe more the latter, but it's pretty clear that Apple is right at the top of the "good microarchitecture" leader board.
The other thing about going fare-free-- which people don't like to discuss but it is a real effect which has been measured-- is that it causes much more anti-social behavior on the bus, which decreases ridership among people who have only a slight preference for transit versus just driving their car. This not only makes traffic worse (which kinda defeats the whole purpose), it also tanks political support for transit, since fewer voters are using it and then they see no point in supporting it.

> Tesla's revenue and profit is a tiny fraction just Toyota alone. Toyota's revenue last year was $10 TRILLION, with a profit of $500 B and a market cap of $289 Billion. Tesla? 25B revenue, 2.7B profit, market cap? 649 Billion, twice the size of Toyota's despite 1/100th the revenue!!

You're mixing JPY and USD. The numbers you give for Toyota need to be divided by 150 JPY/USD. So $66B revenue with $3B profit.

I was so onboard with Textpattern that I bought their "lifetime" hosting plan back in the day. Some of you probably remember how that went. Wikipedia says that

"On August 16, 2012, individuals who had provided start-up and development funding to Joyent (and its predecessor, TextDrive) in exchange for lifetime shared hosting accounts with Joyent were informed, via email, that their lifetime hosting accounts would be deleted on October 31, 2012... Customer backlash to the announcement turned out to be fierce."

It was a learning moment for me to never trust companies that promise lifetime anything. Once you surrender your money you are without leverage and a promise is little better than a fart in that situation.
What the hell?

Preventing prison rape is 100% the responsibility of the guards, and absolutely, emphatically, 0% the responsibility of the inmates.

The very existence of this film implies that the inmates have a responsibility to protect themselves while literally being directly under government supervision, which is absurd, inhumane, and blame-shifting. “If you had protected yourself better in prison, despite us literally having armed guards around you, maybe it wouldn’t have happened. So it’s partially your fault, you know.”

It also makes the very name “Department of Corrections” a total farce. A purely punitive system with no corrective intent would probably be safer and more humane than this, when we stop pretending there is any rehabilitative value for being there.

That does NOT fix your SECURITY POSTURE. If security is not a priority, you will keep taking shortcuts. You might even have similar issues in your deployment.

Having fairly high standards is, I think, a consistent perk of theirs. In particular, they don’t seem to let anything slip below a sort of entry-level enthusiast quality; might not be the best at anything in particular but there’s nothing the Apple device will be truly awful at.

But the Apple that stayed alive in the 90’s-early 00’s is pretty different from modern Apple. Modern Apple makes some of the best chips out there. Old Apple stayed afloat by selling a Unix clone on commodity x86.
But if you think people are snooping on your network then you’ve got a larger issue.

Step 0: Don't go to prison
This is already happening in the magazine space that I'm active in. There are some magazines that appear to be completely lost. Especially first issues that were low print runs.

Edit: Just to add.. some entire runs of magazines are being destroyed: nudist magazines from the 50s-80s are almost entirely being burned, because while they are legal, they exist on a borderline that can easily imprison someone. I know of one library that has hoarded 14,000 issues and scanned every one of them but does not allow access since the optics on such magazines is so maligned.

Cool general idea, some of the specifics around $$ numbers are a bit... off

> Big investments generate quite a lot of money — you can draw off about 4% of an investment every year without depleting the principal, because you get back that much or more in interest.

That is not at all what the 4% rule they linked is talking about. The 4% rule means, roughly, from the original source, "95% of the time you won't completely run out of money in 30 years". Indefinite withdrawal from an endowment is a very different problem.
In summary, salaries need to rise (and they are), and the tax system needs to raise its thresholds accordingly (and it hasn't yet?).

Note that the increase in housing costs has been largely driven by AirBnB etc, like much of the more desirable to tourists parts of Europe. Digital nomads (working remotely, almost by definition, and not getting paid that much in the grand scheme of things, again almost by definition) are somewhat incidental to all this, except as far as they might encourage local high skill job creation by some form of osmosis (e.g. bringing opportunities for locals to also work remotely though recommendation, and piquing the interest of outside companies in Portugal as a place to hire / do business).
What I don't understand is, besides the legal part, where all the common sense went. I mean is it really unknown to everyone that hot coffee is actually hot and may burn you?

I think part of the problem might be the population that think people who are sent to prison "deserve" to be raped.

I know Americans get a justice boner imagining bad criminals getting raped in prison, but is it beneficial for society to put people with a history of violence through living hell then leave them with no job prospects and basically no real opportunities once they are released? Does that set the general welfare of the country up for more prosperity, peace, improvement? Is it really all that surprising all the unique problems the United States has disproportionate to its wealth?

That revenue drop isn’t necessarily correlated with adblockers. Across my sites, adblockers have only been present in 20-30%. Ad engagement little changed. Only CPC/RPM has fallen. My data goes back to 2012 or so.

Advertisers are paying less because ads are overvalued.

Even if the user is not running an adblocker, any number of things could cause an ad to fail to load, load slowly, etc. Ad blindness is also a huge issue. That last part is why so many are turning to Amazon affiliate links.

The best decision I ever made was implementing a low cost subscription. The subscription revenue pays 3X as much as ad revenue. I charge just a couple bucks a month. The subscription removes ads, enhances privacy, and gives early access to content. I don’t woory about adblockers at all. I tried fighting them years ago and the 5% of additional revenue did not pay for the time invested. I don’t even pop up an anti adblocker popup.

I know, this sounds very obvious but some people seriously jump to a summary directly and believe that is enough when they research.
