Even if I felt inclined to give your company my business, your attitude towards any valid criticism has made it so I would never go near your company or anything that you do in the future.

You're expecting companies to trust you with the ability to literally destroy them. If you can't handle security skeptical people you picked the wrong fucking niche, buddy, you're handling their source code and secrets/tokens. Your response to me saying I trust companies that have been around for a decade and have a history of being secure was to share a post about one of them having security incidents. Got em, you dunked on me! I never said they never had any incidents, because I never would. No software is 100% secure. You missed the key part, which was the longstanding existence and the paper trail, which the thing you linked to is actually a part of, which is important. They get my business over a fly by night .cloud company being pitched by a person being defensive when people have security concerns, for a new saas, in another country, who has yet to link to any third party security audits, compliance certifications, disclosure policies, SLAs, protections, vetting/audit process, etc.

It is only a rule of the House that limits business that can't be done pending election of a speaker (and before the recent crisis was resolved, one of the solutions proposed was changing the House rules to allow more with an Acting Speaker), so, not in any way that the House itself couldn’t bypass, even without electing a Speaker.
My takeaway from the article was that most of that gear either wasn't necessary or was only necessary because of Apple's specific self-imposed production requirements. And also due to the fact that they just hired a production team like they always do for these things, but this time they had them slap the iphone into the usual equipment in place of their regular camera.

Quips aside, I see this more as an issue with a particular breed of popsci topic rather than with nonfiction books as a format; some topics genuinely deserve that much breadth. I read a fascinating book about rabies that would've been sad and pithy if it were condensed into an essay. And historical-y books in particular die on the page without detail—there's a reason And The Band Played On is, what, six hundred pages?

Conservatives have always chaffed at treaties because they’re generally hostile to the idea of international law, and they’re skeptical of giving the government in the present the power to bind the flexibility of the government in the future. The general rule is that what one Congress does today, a different Congress can undo tomorrow.

And of course there are smart people in the Republican Party. Conservatives make up maybe 10% of lawyers, but over the last 40 years have been rolling back a generation of liberal jurisprudence. For example, they have made the case for textualism so strongly that even liberal judges feel the need to fight on that turf. As a result, the arguments made by liberals a generation ago wouldn’t fly with liberal’s of today’s generation. (Credit also goes to Justice Ginsberg, who despite her left of center bent made an entire career advancing a textualist construction of the 14th amendment.) You saw this with Roe, where the left could offer no real argument that Roe has been decided correctly on the merits to begin with, and resorted instead to emphasizing how long ago it was decided. That happened because over 50 years, conservatives completely chipped away the intellectual underpinning that made Roe defensible in the first place.
What's the enforcement mechanism for including the root certs? As far as I know, there is no web browser that is sold for money. That means that if you're Apple or Google, you can spin off a company that has no presence in the EU and ship whatever root certificates you want, and it's not like you lose out on revenue. You probably dispel a lot of antitrust concerns as well.

At the end of the day, what certs you trust is a personal decision. It's not a democracy; there is no need for an entire country to agree on which certificates are trusted and mandate that by law. Pick the ones who you trust, and your choice need not affect my choice. (Most of us delegate to browser vendors, OS vendors, or our employer, of course, but that is a choice. Don't like Apple's set of root certs? Delete the ones you don't trust, or use Firefox, or use Chrome.)

I don't understand this thing about new companies coming in and making it so much easier to shop. It used to be easy. Now it takes effort to buy things. I used to just select invoice payment. The invoice ends up with my bank directly without being mailed to me. I click a checkmark in front of all invoices I want to pay. I click pay and enter the code from my code-box. The money gets payed one day before the pay before date automatically. It doesn't even matter how many invoices there is, just one click to pay them all. On the right date. It doesn't get easier than that. And then these new rentseeking companies comes along and want to "improve" this workflow to get in on the action.

It's not a black and white distinction, I agree.

Also, I said/meant stakeholders not end-users. Ours definitely do write bugs, look at docs and generate db reports etc.

The main distinction is that things on that list have a high cost-to-benefit ratio to goals 1 & 2, where history maintenance does not. The cost is high and utilization isn't. Additionally it can't be used to communicate with anyone but developers.

Shame. IBM, for a brief moment there, held onto something precious.

Watson was a shot at "Intelligence Amplification". IA is, neatly, in
many ways the opposite of AI. IBM's ethos was starting with ambitious
goals and working backward to tools and technologies that can solve
them.

By contrast the current wave of transformer AI seems an opportunity
gold-rush based once again on solutions looking for problems.

There's two abuses in this system you have to watch out for:

- being presented under-cooked ideas so you do the thinking for them.

- too many ideas (which can lead to the first) with an inability to focus

There is a feedback loop for the first where people don't dive too deeply into their idea because they know they'll get a lot of criticism.

The second can be bad because the idea or its implementation is never polished.

> They can wholesale out the infrastructure to service providers who then have a lower barrier to entry and increases competition.

This is what was forced* on T-Mobile/Telekom back at home in Germany. They own a lot of basic infrastructure that is a natural monopoly and where having multiple companies built that out redundantly would be utter nonsense. The government makes Telekom rent it out at prices decided on by the Federal Network Agency.

They still get to be a normal service provider as well though.

* Technically it started out as a government company and is still owned to 32% by the country.

And also the entire economy would have collapsed, and we'd all be trading ammunition for bottlecaps, instead of merely living through a nasty recession.

Which is why they backstopped it. Yes, it would have been cheaper to let Citi fail and nationalize it, but it wouldn't have been cheaper to then have to deal with all the contagion and all the other businesses that would have exploded because of it.

Can you link to a certificate of "passing peer review".

The link is to an online Version of Record before inclusion in an issue that's dated October 2023 .. it's rather early to be claiming this is an article widely accepted by the archaelogical community.

Danny Hilman Natawidjaja writes articles such as this every few years, they aren't highly regarded but they are on record, the fact of being published in no way translates to "having passed peer review" beyond the bar of lacking obvious typos.

His past speculations about hidden chambers as evidence of human activity are generally considered as possible evidence of voids most likely related to chambers and tubes in an ancient volcanic site - which a great many remnant volcanoes have.
State level actors could always do that, not only before widespread literacy ramped up between 1 and 2 centuries ago, not only before the printing press several centuries before that, but for basically all of recorded history — the etymology for "barbarian" goes back at least to Ancient Greek βάρβαρος ("foreign, non-Greek, strange"), which might be onomatopoeic mimicry of languages-foreign-to-the-Greeks, like going "blah blah" in English. And they (specifically the Athenians) rather famously had Socrates put to death for saying the wrong things. I think both show different aspects of what real (rather than the mere thought terminating cliché of the same name) "political correctness" looked like at the time.

Cryptographically signing the news might be necessary, but it sure won't be sufficient, as your local government can pretty directly tell people who the trustworthy news sources are/which signatures they should trust. You need more than just the technology to solve problems like this.

I've been using Copilot for almost 2 years. I'd give it a +1.

I switched from YNAB since I wasn't really following the YNAB methodology and really just wanted something simpler (set a budget for a category & tell me at the end of the month how I did, and review my transactions for the day).

Some downsides:

* Some of the integrations are flaky (AMEX gets logged out almost every day, making me sign in again). Probably not copilot's fault, more like the plaid API.

* Meh about the yearly subscription. But hey, 95 dollars a year for something I use on a semi-regular basis isn't bad.
This is not true. BSC had already a growing trend before the pandemy. In 2020-2021, before any EU fund, almost 200 new people were hired.

Why are you harsh? Science is a good investment and BSC has proven to be a research center where a lot of quality research is done.

Anyway, there are many plans to continue growing beyond the NextGeneration EU funds, which usually the steering committee explains on the yearly anual meeting. Keep in mind that "growing" does not always mean to grow the amount of people in a research group, but to try to create new research groups to keep it stable.

But social networks are almost all private by default. It's quite against term of service to scrape Twitter or Facebook. Using third party tools is liable to get one banned.

There doesn't seem to be much granting users the right or ability to either use their own clients, nor can they effectively switch away & keep their connections.

> most actually socialist systems in the world are democratic states with mixed economies

Well by any reasonable metric they are still significantly more 'capitalist' than 'socialist'. Or rather are these days, due to some reasons there even those 'democratic pseudo-socialists' states from the 60s shifted to 'capitalism' much more since the 60s.

Imagine if this country was not so car centric, then this problem would not exist at all. Highways that run through dense urban cores. Suburban sprawl (more expensive highway infrastructure to support). Bulldozing once walkable communities and replacing with parking garages, parking lots, and of course street parking.

Cars. Cars. More cars. Endless amounts of time spent in cars. Now we want aUtoMatEd cArS because of perceived safety gains.
