> a qualified airline pilot in command

I'll happily recant that statement if you're asserting that the pilot evaluates the situation, and doesn't just follow codified airline policy. "Absolves" was a bad choice of wording in any case, perhaps I should say "prevents from using their own judgment."

It sounds like you're in the industry. I'm genuinely curious, what sort of thinking goes into evaluating whether to turn the flight around after an altercation? I understand the idea of minimizing harm to passengers and flight crew, but you mentioned "using planes as guided missiles," so it sounds like the consideration is more about the plane crashing?
Your coming off as childish. Anyone can take your code and use it in whatever way they want. If you wanted to use a license where you keep ownership choose a different license.

If an investor will give them money good for them. If devs gives them praise good for them.

You gave the code away in the hopes someone would use it. Someone is.. you were the author to the first guy who took it. He is the author to the next group who forks.

It's like you came up with a joke and shared it. That person love it and retold it as his own.
Sure, but in practice, everyone's RCS is currently E2EE since everyone uses Google's client and Google's server.

This should change, certainly! Hopefully Apple will force Google to open up their implementation and protocol for E2EE so they can build a compatible implementation.
Agreed. They wouldn’t give RCS the attention by making it a special color. They want people to use iMessage.

I'm not saying the trucks don't physically exist, just that I can't find evidence of deliveries to customers.

Your approach to evidence here seems very lacking.

- The first one we don't know if it's a customer. Why couldn't it be a prototype? Some guy just saw it charging?

- The second one isn't a semi truck.

- The third one seems to be footage of people sitting in a demo truck of some kind from a PR event about opening a charging station with a pledge to buy some in the future.

Hardly seems like a slam dunk case that other people are all over this market.
That's the dumb thing. When you disable RCS on your phone, why doesn't the phone just send that same API call that gets called when you visit that web page and deregister?

(Ditto for Apple, if that's still an issue over there with iMessage as well.)
Even aside from the hostility, it just lacks in usability. Every month I find myself frustrated at something it can't do.

They're not actually writing these template instantiations, you would write regular strings in your code. The whole point is that this is for a logging library that does compile-time trickery to replace strings with integer labels. They have some compile-time tricks to convert the strings passed in logging macros to these template instantiations. I'm guessing the way it works is that since each of these template instantiations represents a unique type they can convert each type to a known numeric code, and then have a map of codes to the original strings to read the log data. But the point is you'd only have to deal with these weird templates if you're actually implementing or debugging the library, which hopefully you'd only have to do rarely (ideally just once!).

That's a pretty big understatement to be honest. I don't use Windows anymore, but I still occasionally set up Windows for other people and there's so many annoyances that it's difficult to even enumerate all of them.

Off the top of my head:

- MSEdgeRedirect to stop Windows from opening Edge even when it's not your defualt browser.

- Shutup10++ to quickly disable a bunch of crapware/unwanted features. (Some of these break things, too, so there is literally no way to make things "perfect".)

- Have to remove a horde of advertising-ridden crapware too. Groove Music, Maps, etc.

- Stopping the start menu from sending everything you type to Bing seems to be hard, too. I'm pretty sure there are multiple group policy items that sound like they would impact this, but I never seem to get the right one first try. It's kind of hard to find on Google too because it changes.

- I do not know what the current best way to get Windows to stop trying to wake up computers for Windows Update at random hours (and often failing to do so.) I think there is a group policy option, but I think there's also a power options configuration (also in the registry obviously) that you need to change to maximally disable wakelocks. This one isn't necessarily Windows 11 specific, but it seems to have gotten worse over time.

- A number of things are really hard to change: There are third party mods for the start menu and task bar, but they are not perfect at all; hacks that load the actual old start menu and task bar are limited and break with updates, unsurprisingly. You need to patch DWM to remove the window rounding behavior.

And honestly, that still doesn't duplicate Windows 7 for me, and worse, the further you stray away the more likely things are to break during updates. The best I've found is Windows 10 LTSC but 1. I don't think consumers can legally license it (lol) 2. It doesn't work with a lot of software, e.g. Creative Suite has stopped supporting it I believe. So this solution sounds good on paper but it's also not always applicable.

Lest you think paying extra for Windows 11 Pro for Workstations, just don't. It's nearly as heavy in crapware last I checked. It's kind of unbelievable that they still do that pre-installed app crap even if you pay them over $300 for the OS as if I fucking want it, but that's modern software for you. They literally won't sell you what you want at any price.

(I also strongly believe that you should try to install Windows Firewall Control or some similar firewall before allowing the machine to reach the Internet. There's an amazing amount of non-sense that gets sent to the Internet regardless of whether you consent to it. Not sure that all of it is actually a huge privacy concern, but I don't really care anymore; at this point it's out of spite.)

The rail companies are really resistant to electrifying lines. I think because they are focused on cutting costs and spending money would cut into profit. Unfortunately, that means that the government will likely have to pay for it or force them.

They have been looking into battery electric locomotives which don't make any sense except for switching yards. I read recently that there are electric and diesel locomotives which can use overhead power where available and switch to diesel when it isn't. That has the advantage that they can electrify lines incrementally.
I got a mac for the first time this year. Honestly, it feels like taking a shower after getting home from the beach on a sunny day when you've been wearing sunscreen. Everything just works with no extra garbage, no constant intrusive updates, no hassle. The only issue I had was the lack of alt-tab, and that was solved by an app called alt-tab.
That's a good point, but he's also kept himself pretty secretive to allow for that. I have a feeling there are a lot more normal people artists than there are well known ones. For instance, my wife is an artist and suffers from OCD and anxiety. It affects her in both the art and life, but she feels affected as a person when her art has a "flaw" she missed. It kind of warps her sense of self because her art is "part of her" in a way, and I'm sure she's not the only artist with these issues.
Yes. In fact, you already do this most of the time. The right to be forgotten is so fundamental to humanity that humans have to expend extra effort to violate it and remember stuff. Machines with perfect memory violate the right to be forgotten by default and we have to tell them to forget things. Hence the regulation.
What the talking head is saying is that the user is looking at the content they want to look at, and ads targeting the user. They're saying they aren't specifically putting these ads next to the Nazi posts. They're also saying that they if those ads just happen to show up with Nazi posts, they aren't doing anything to stop that.
Well, that would be something to investigate.

There's lots of stuff that sounds good when you say it, but it's harder to judge whether it'll work in practice or how well.

Here in India the plans do include free SMS, but there was a government imposed limit of 200 SMSes per day from a single SIM (this applied to retail consumers, not institutions that may want to send transactional or marketing messages). [1][2] Beyond that, the per SMS charge gets expensive. Though that limit seems to have been removed in 2020, [3] I’ve only seen plans that allow 100 SMSes per day.

Almost everyone in India with a smartphone uses WhatsApp. SMS is for receiving OTPs, transaction messages, marketing messages, spam, phishing messages, etc.

Heh, dannybee once called me (we work for the same employer) and said: "I see you are using a particular pointer analysis algorithm. Stop it right now, it's tainted with patents. BTW I am a lawyer. But: I'm also a pointer analysis expert, and you don't want that algorithm, it sucks, this other one is better."

I'm confident the number of lawyers with pointer analysis expertise in this world can be counted on the fingers of one hand... probably even after a gruesome lawnmower accident.

This is the inverse of accurate, uBlock Origin already has a MV3 extension in progress (beta at https://ublockorigin.com/ top middle of the page). As others have noted, uBO is not even named in the Google releases, this applies to all MV2 extensions.

Annoyed they are barrelling ahead with this still, but not an attack on uBO or ad-blockers directly. Seems like they even made some changes to service workers to enable ad-blockers as well.

Perhaps gorhill will weigh in with more comments if he sees this. Curious if any of their changes to MV3 actually moved the needle on the issues previously identified.

I have to wonder if there is a play here. Cave on basically all of the EU's demands, it doesn't matter that much too their bottom line. If the EU uses this as the blueprint to apply to iOS and Android, there is much more for Microsoft to gain on those platforms than what they lost on their own.
A website run by a large corporation is very different from a store run by Jane. Jane does not have thousands or millions of people coming into her store, and she also is not selling CCTV footage from her store to advertising companies. We would be rightly outraged if she was. She also probably isn't sharing customer details or security footage with government authorities unless her store has been robbed or something.
Yes, but the title of the Reddit thread is the title used here, so that complicates the situation. The title is accurate and not editorialized in that context.

The rail companies have not been looking after their infrastructure since they are cutting costs heavily. I read that one reason for Amtrak's poor performance is that freight railroads have single-tracked lines and removed passing sections leading to passenger trains stuck by freight trains.

I'm basing this on the huge increase in battery production.

From https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/annual-grid-s...:

* Annual grid-scale battery storage additions went from 0.76 GW in 2016 to 11.21 GW in 2022. I couldn't find the GWh figures, but this is a fast ramp up.

* "In September 2022, India released its draft National Electricity Plan, setting out ambitious targets for the development of battery energy storage, with an estimated capacity of between 51 to 84 GW installed by 2031-32."

* "In December 2022, the Australian Renewable Energy Agency...announced funding support for a total of 2 GW/4.2 GWh of grid-scale storage capacity, equipped with grid-forming inverters to provide essential system services that are currently supplied by thermal power plants."

From https://www.iea.org/reports/global-ev-outlook-2023/executive...:

* "Automotive lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery demand increased by about 65% to 550 GWh in 2022, from about 330 GWh in 2021"

* "August 2022 and March 2023, major EV and battery makers announced cumulative post-IRA investments of at least USD 52 billion in North American EV supply chains – of which 50% is for battery manufacturing, and about 20% each for battery components and EV manufacturing."

These pages also list the challenges faced, so I'm not assuming it's a smooth road ahead. However, the trend is clear. Hopefully, technological improvements will continue and drive down costs further (I have no knowledge if this will happen).

I hope there's improvements in nuclear technology that allow for a faster, cheaper nuclear rollout and belief it has it's place.

But to return to original comment I replied that states

"we need something to replace coal...that thing can...only be nuclear at this point"

dismisses the increases in investment and production of battery storage.

Unless you are a double digit billion dollar company, you don't build your own datacenters. You lease space from a colocation provider like Equinix, CoreSite, or DRT. Even AWS and GCP themselves are partially hosted in buildings operated by these companies.

These datacenters are fed by multiple power substations, have onsite battery and generators, and contracts for delivery of fuel in the event of a disaster. But none of these things are any more your problem than if a power plant explodes knocking out an AWS region.
Switching to an extension providing a list of things to block or redirect to the browser rather than the extension having access to all content on every page that you visit.

I'd imagine that people don't vet extensions nearly as much as they should for the access they give them to all their web browser traffic. Not to mention an extension that is okay now may not be once sold to someone else (for those extension developers not as honorable as those of uBlock Origin and hoverzoom).
>All of China/Asia/Africa are free manufacturing for the West…

Not free. But extremely cheap.

>Of course, the view that they don’t innovate and only knockoff the West is also hilariously false.

Of course not. I never made this claim. But in China, the incentive to innovate is much lower due to lack of enforcement of intellectual property rights. So of course in terms of cost/benefit ratio every individual in China is more incentivized to copy someone else's innovation rather than innovate themselves. It's the most logical move.

It's sort of a strange parasitic symbiosis between the US and China that in theory should never work. When China steals ideas and manufacturing from the US and tries to sell it back to the US, one would think there's trade imbalance that would cause the whole thing to break down.

The thing that keeps it afloat is marketing at quality control. China can rip off a product but issues with marketing and QC prevent them from effectively selling it. So what happens is the US uses China to manufacture and then they sell the products at a huge margin above the manufacturing cost to everyone in the world including China.

Everybody gets fucked in this scenario except for US corporations. But at the same time everybody makes enough money such that the whole economic cycle doesn't fall apart.

Abstract

On 13 April 2022, the Russian warship Moskva was hit by two Ukrainian Neptune anti-ship missiles in the Black Sea, leading to its demise. Before launching an anti-ship missile, a target must first be detected and positioned, for example by an accompanying radar system. However, when the missiles hit the Moskva she was well beyond the normal radar horizon of any ground-based radar system, making the ship undetectable under normal circumstances. Using meteorological reanalysis data, we show that at the time of the missile launch the prevailing weather conditions allowed a ground-based radar to detect targets far beyond the normal radar horizon through anomalous propagation conditions. During such conditions, the atmospheric index of refraction decreases rapidly with height, making electromagnetic radiation bend downward to, partly or fully, compensate the curvature of the Earth. The results show that atmospheric conditions must be considered carefully, even during warfare, as their impact on radar wave propagation can be considerable.
