I think that was kind of the OP point. "Pro" users are significantly more likely to be opt-out in this scenario, unless they are not Pro users but just want the Pro machine for conspicuous consumption, making a much more dramatic swing in the usage data that is collected.

It's fine for single a single disk or something that presents as a single disk, like a SAN. RAID1 seems fine also. I really wanted to love it, but after it ate my data a couple of times, I gave up trying to use it for mass storage. At that time they didn't have warnings in the documentation and had stated that RAID5/6 were basically complete.

I found using mirrored vdevs in ZFS much easier to manage and much more stable.

The NASA fastener handbook specifically calls for using silver plated nuts on steel bolts for aerospace. Very cool.

>Silver plating is cost prohibitive for most fastener applications. The big exception is in the aerospace industry, where
silver-plated nuts are used on stairdess steel bolts. The silver
serves both as a corrosion deterrent and a dry lubricant. Silver
plating can be used to 1600 “F, and thus it is a good high-
temperature lubricant.

People like to create things regardless of profit motive, like art, who woulda thunk it?

I don't understand how people think this will suddenly make human art vanish, that is just ridiculous and naive. People will spend their limited lifespan to make art, because that's what humans just do. Cavemen weren't being paid to paint on the walls.

Your viewpoint is honestly insane. The people against AI art are bonkers.
The main issue really is that there are no rules for pronunciation. It's not as bad as reading Chinese (as far as I understand - I tried to learn for a month and gave up :)), but in the same direction going from a language like Turkish or Spanish that are mostly WYSIWYG - the glyphs in the word don't actually tell you how to pronounce it properly.

My all time favorites are the words that are literally spelled the the same but pronounced differently, for no reason - like "wind".

Or, similar but again pronounced differently - thought, through, though, tough - why are these like that? No (good) reason.

And names, too. Worcester, guess how that's pronounced? :)
Then only insurance for actual accidents would make sense, but even then insurance companies could start analyzing more meticulously the individual probabilities of having accidents: do you have an active lifestyle? you pay a premium; do you practice sports? you pay a premium; travel more than the average human? pay a premium; are you getting older? insurance rate grows exponentially; already had an accident? sorry, you no longer a desirable customer.

I despise the underlying belief here. That belief that the only reason people create art is based on desires for fame and monetary gain. Which is so demonstrably incorrect that it boggles my mind.

This is where centuries of copyright law have gotten us, brainwashing people into thinking ideas are property ("intellectual property") and should be treated as rivalrous goods, and that the only reason to be an artist is to profit. Brainwashing people into thinking the only way we'll have art in the world is if we maximize the profits of commercial artists.

Take one brief look at the internet, music, video, podcasts, a museum, the walls and refrigerators in people's homes, a kindergarten class room, an art class, or hell, this very forum. And you'll see that it's universally true that people like creating stuff because people like creating stuff. For free. Because it's fun and stimulating. That's inherent in us. We do not need laws to prop up an artificial business model for humans to maintain our drive to create.
Fix Mozilla. Or fork Firefox and create a team with equal resources. Firefox by itself has lost all selling points which could sway the normal people. And Mozilla is unwilling or unable to add new strength. So at this point there probably is not enough benefits one can use to advertise Firefox and let it win against other browsers.

But maybe this is also just my impression. Why not start with a website listing reasons and strengths of the different browsers, and research the selling points of browsers and Firefox specifically. Maybe this could be used to figure out which features could be used for advertising, and which features Firefox is missing to compete with others.
Is it because it seems the value can be imitated so easily?
The worst part about this type of org (speaking as an SRE / DBRE) is that they also don’t do SRE correctly, so these piles of shit get yeeted into prod, fall apart, and then the already over-burdened SREs and DBREs have to figure out how it works so they can fix it.

AWS limits are there to be worked around! Have too many lambdas to fit them in a single cloudformation stack? Just split it up into ‘per family’ stacks. Enjoy your nested cloudformation stacks.

Oh, you say you have more than 200 endpoints in your REST API gateway, and suddenly your CloudFormation stop working? Yes, unfortunately CF only load 8 pages of resources in alphabetical order when starting, and your root resource starts with a ‘Y’.

No problem, implement a new custom resource that just creates and discards API gateways until you have one with your desired root resource starting with ‘A-F’. Did I mention the ‘delete a rest api’ API is limited to a single call per minute? The fun doesn’t end. Now you may be able to grow until 600 resources before you’ll have to tighten the limits once again.

You say you think this is bollocks? Of course, just switch to an Application Load Balancer. Just 100 rules max means you’ll only need to nest about 4 of them to fit all your API endpoints.

And people wonder why some give up on the cloud. Any $5 VPS has higher limits than any of these AWS services…
>Why would any human spend their limited lifespan to create a piece of work that will be grabbed without permission, approximated algorithmically (at least on the surface) and reused in infinite possible small variations without any attribution or remuneration whatsoever?

That's like asking why anyone would contribute to MIT or Apache licensed open source.
Nothing. The Mozilla Corporation pays for the development of Firefox with:

1. Google's fee for default search (the vast majority of their revenue)

2. Paid Firefox services (Mozilla VPN, MDN Plus, etc)

Remember that there are things we don't have any control over in life. You have no control over the success or failure of Firefox because its financial means of survival are controlled by people who are not you (unless you feel like signing up for a VPN).

My understanding is that the Mozilla Corporation is doing just fine for itself. They even have some financial information published [PDF]: https://assets.mozilla.net/annualreport/2021/mozilla-fdn-202...
I can't find the article now (it was on SlateStarCodex), but Scott Alexander wrote a great article where he broke down all of the genes that have a tendency to break either toward a genetic advantage (like high intelligence) or a genetic disadvantage (like cerbral palsy) and how it's always a dice-roll of the genetic expression whether it ends up helping or harming you.
And those apps had to be ready too. You don't build a reliable platform by randomly breaking "a small minority of apps". You yourself are certanly in "small minority" of at least a few features you rely on.

I'm a long-time, hard-core FF user on all platforms and I admit to having used weird extensions. As time goes by, however, I wonder whether it's worth it. Too many websites break because they aren't tested with FF. I wonder whether it'd be a viable way forward if FF forked Chromium and added the excellent rights & extension management on top. That way no more effort would have to be spent on the rendering or browsing engines, end-user experience would improve (as a result of better web page compatibility) but the things we love about FF (extensions) would still be there?

> It’s literally self evident that a person in jail can’t commit crimes on the outside. The statement itself contains all the axioms you need, citations are not something required here. It’s like saying a dead baker reduces the amount of bread in a town for that day and you asking for a source

You didn't say "reduces the crime rate outside of prison." I assumed that's what you meant, but it's not clear that ignoring the crime rate inside prison is a reasonable statistic.

People in prison also, presumably, eventually get out, and a claim that prison officials can accurately deduce the likelihood of recidivism, and whether it has been decreased rather than increased by time in prison, is far from clear.

Finally, putting lots of people in prison has an effect on people outside of prison. For example, it is possible—though, again, I don't know; citations are needed—that high incarceration rates lead to more crime outside, since, if a member of a community has a good chance of going to prison whether or not they commit a crime, then prison can cease to have a meaningful deterrent effect in that community.

They aren't. The customers are the ones complaining about this. Microsoft is doing what its user base wants. People on XBox typically use a controller and do not want to face people on a KBM.

Sure, it's about revenue. That revenue is not from controller sales. Rather, it's about keeping it's customer-base happy, and the general sentiment from the community is that these tools aren't good for the overwhelming majority of players.

You might disagree with that opinion, but I can't take you seriously if you aren't aware of the general sentiment of the community and how Microsoft is doing what it's paying customers want.

17 USC §411 (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/411):

> Except for an action brought for a violation of the rights of the author under section 106A(a), and subject to the provisions of subsection (b),[1] no civil action for infringement of the copyright in any United States work shall be instituted until preregistration or registration of the copyright claim has been made in accordance with this title.

[NB: 106A(a) is right of attribution].

It's the law, as enacted by Congress (even though it is probably a violation of the TRIPS Agreement, an international treaty signed by the US).

But note there is nothing preventing you from registering your copyright well after you first published the material, although the work has to be registered before infringement if you want statutory damages (the big $$$$) instead of just actual damages.

It's worth asking.

When I did, they couldn't guarantee to repair my 2013 laptop, but they sent out a parts request to see if they had a replacement part in the warehouse (top case), and they did have one, and they were happy to use the battery replacement price if my battery showed the "service recommended" state, same rule as for newer models.

They don't provide a warranty for repair on such an old machine, because they can't guarantee being able to find another replacement part.

I asked for a price on a screen replacement too and they didn't have a screen, so couldn't do that. The screen is in pretty good shape though.

How I think it should work is the sa.e for any other intelligent system. Systems can view publicly available images, memorize them, and even reproduce them for certain fair uses. The systems have to pay for a license to right holders for the non fair uses of reproductions.
