Snorri Sturulson definitely used the word viking if, as most scholars hold, he was the author of Egil’s Saga. That text is replete with the term, and it isn’t used in a derogatory sense at all. It is an activity performed by the characters considered heroic. It’s even right there in the first paragraph:

“Úlfr hét maðr, sonr Bjálfa ok Hallberu, dóttur Úlfs ins óarga. Hon var systir Hallbjarnar hálftrǫlls í Hrafnistu, fǫður Ketils hængs. Úlfr var maðr svá mikill ok sterkr, at eigi váru hans jafningjar. En er hann var á unga aldri, lá hann í víkingu ok herjaði.”
I heard one of the people responsible for the Consignia branding change talking about how the drama was entirely a media fiction, and found him convincing.

The basic gist was "The Post Office" and "Royal Mail" brand were not going anywhere. "Consignia" was a brand intended for Europe (and indeed worldwide) cargo, logistics and transport parts of the business where those existing names were ill-suited (e.g. other countries have royals too).

But you get enough misleading media stories and you're forced to roll back things you were never intending to do in the first place. A victory for common sense, it was not.

edit: apparently the parent company is now called "International Distributions Services plc" which is super generic.

> unlike on a Boeing (at the time at least) where they're physically connected so you can't have contradictory inputs in the first place, and you'd feel the other pilot fighting you.

Note that it’s not quite that flagrant: because Boeings don’t normally autotrim (famously aside from the 737 MAX, whose MCAS was not documented and trained for — I think the more recent Boeings like 777 and 787 are FBW and do autotrim) it’s possible to fight your co-pilot while thinking you’re not trimmed, or even that you have excessive air load:

Switching to non-default allocator does not always brings performance boost. It really depend on your workload, which requires profiling and benchmarking. But C/C++/Rust and other lower level languages should all at least be able to choose from these allocators. One caveat is binary size. Custom allocator does add more bytes to executable.

Why do I need to put on gloves if all I want to do is report that the shared soda machine is leaking?

I use GH only a few times a year, mostly to report bugs but sometimes to comment on issues where I've been asked to chime in for a FOSS project.

For me (someone without a smart phone or dedicated security hardware), the increased activation barrier for using GH doesn't seem worth my effort to figure things out.

If the soda machine is leaking, I'll just email one of the developers instead.

FWIW, I use and pay for Sourcehut hosting. I don't like the near-monopoly dominance of Microsoft, and the ever-increasing dependence of FOSS development on a proprietary back-end.

Ebay originally had no preffered payment processor, you could use whatever system you wanted to. PayPal became the vast favorite among buyers and sellers, ebay bought PayPal, but for a long time at least, you could opt for an alternative. I'm not sure that ebay ever required PayPal payments. Ebay eventually jettisoned paypal and integrated their own seperate payment processing.
People can expect whatever they want, but there is no actual obligation to tip. It's not a matter of wanting my cake and eating it too, it's a matter of rejecting the premise that what should be a way of expressing appreciation is being subverted by employers to underhandedly supplement wages.

If the tipping is actually mandatory, then build it into the price to begin with. That way, perhaps tipping can go back to being an actual expression of thanks.

Episode 1 of Black Mirror is the best one. It is not a problem that needs solving.

Yes, but if you do use Google's store, you have to use their payments system (which is roughly 10 times the price of normal online payments processing).

Except if you're too big for them to lose your business since it would make their store look bad as a platform, or too small for them to bother, or they are distracted by some other shiny trinket on that particular day.
Nor does completely made up stuff like economics.

The real economy is function of ecosystem, raw materials, energy availability, and collective intelligence.

That's the economy we live in.

But the economy we're told we live in is a fiction designed exclusively for the perpetual growth of hierarchy and privilege.

I don't think anyone knows what would be possible in a reality-based economy.

But it's hard to belive that much broader access to health and education, better social protections, tamed monopolies, plural distributed media, and support for original invention and research, would be less stable and successful than the suicidally short-sighted manic depressive business cycles we have now.

You might think of it like a checklist of possible problems, rather than a list of rules to follow blindly. It's true that it won't tell you which problems you have, but they may be useful hints, things to consider.

what a sad story. It's an interesting tale oddly in favor of letting nepotism happen. The story definitely reads like some activist investors righteously decapitated the company for nepotism, but then were left with a dead body.
I think you are very confused about what a reductio ad absurdum is. It is not a fallacy, it’s a perfectly valid form of argument (similar to a ‘proof by contradiction’ in maths), and it doesn’t seem to be what you mean here.
That's a different situation IMO. The data is constrained to what I buy from them, and my understanding under the GDPR is that they can't share it with anyone else (at least I never gave permission for that).

I can use the store and not flash my membership card if I don't want them tracking a particular purchase.

This option doesn't exist with Facebook, you can't opt in and out from click to click. And they share the information with any number of outside parties.

Furthermore the charge that Facebook is levying vastly exceeds the value of the information they're forgoing if I pay them.

Your comment just made me google "apple m3 skyvase", because that's such a delightfully silly idea (using skyvase as an example for offline rendering in 2023, not talking about online renderers in general).

If a company's data includes emails, and someone emails a person at the company, the email will exist inside the company's data lake. Lake means a set of documents or data that is considered "company IP" and if that data is indexed, and it has instructions inside it that cause it to inference differently than prompted, it could become a problem.

Obviously, for the data to be accessible by the "bot", the data needs to have been indexed. And if a rouge email is in that data, and it gets returned from a search (vector search for example) then that email, and the instructions, will show up in the prompt.

If, during inference, the instructions in the email override the instructions in the prompt wrapper, then you might have a simple question in the UI returning data different than intended. Whether or not someone clicks on something is beside the point, it's that the LLM might return a malicious link that is the critical part here...

I've so far only seen acquisitions of Hamas using human shields. One could argue the hostages are humans shields, but (a) IDF bombs Gaza regardless, (b) they are not prominently shown (as the IDF documentedly did), and (c) at least some of them survived and were traded for palestinians (that were often held without trial, so could we call them "hostages" as well?).

I would love to watch this movie. It would be better than Don't look up.
The truth is buried in the middle,

“plenty of those urging RTO, including the head of the world’s largest commercial landlord, have a vested interest in people returning to commercial real estate properties and patronizing the businesses on which those properties depend. They have a financial stake in preserving white-collar business districts even when the data doesn’t support the contention“

Remote workers are like office workers, they don’t get to see the relationship between company capital and real estate like a CEO or board. It’s not irrational to weigh losing 30% of your work force to safely tell the board that you’ve secured the purpose of an expensive real estate asset.

I don’t know… the overall tone seems to be a bit too negative for me here.

I have used Nextcloud at home for years now without issues and we also used it at a large university where it worked just fine (from a user perspective; I don’t know if it gave the administrators nightmares). I do agree that they should invest more time in polish and stability and less in swanky new features that many won’t need, but that would not lead me to discourage anyone from using (or at least trying) Nextcloud.

Does the trick
NC is trying to do a lot, but it's not doing anything particularly well. It feels like their development resources are spread too thin to really polish any of the features. If you just need file sharing, there are some projects that focus on that that tend to work pretty well. I have also tried running NC with OnlyOffice, but that seems to break every two weeks. And even if it works, Google's tools are just so much better. I would even choose O365 over this.
As a rule of thumb, if you value the privacy or security of your users, never ever use services such as Okta. Product that rely on them are guaranteed to suffer from breaches. Told my clients that and i was right. It is a matter if time until the next breach.

No. The notion that all soldiers fighting on the Germany side in WW2 were monsters is, however. If the world subscribed to your ideology, there'd be a catacomb of millions buried under Nurnberg (there's no such thing, if you wondered).
The things you miss... I wasn't even aware they'd disappeared. That history is some reading! When your CFO tragically jumps off a balcony, the company might not be doing well.

Why do so many big box stores seem to follow the huge growth -> saturation -> quick implosion and bankruptcy script?

Surely their margins don't materially change? Low per store sales from bad stores? But the first step seems to be closing stores, and that doesn't resolve the issue. It seems weird they'd be able to attract capital for expansion, but then implode so quickly.

I think this is for people that are already authenticated right? so the bot only has access to resources that they do.

I would also think there needs to be some kind of request moderation step. with at least a notification to IT. so that the bot could be locked down for that user.

AWS may not offer it but somebody should.

Any company open chatbot like on a website or email I would think would just have a text to json component that classifies the request and converts it to the proper data object then you would validate it just like any other json object.

Then its only as weak as your api security.

Of course that could also just mean that the market agrees that Google's store is just the absolute best, and paying Google 30% (or 0% if you're really cool) is a steal – we just don't know since we haven't ran that particular experiment anywhere in the world.

We are probably about to, in the EU, though.

Wow, reading up on the timeline of events it really looks like he just blew a bunch of cash trying to copy Epic's moves and then tried to boost earnings with that insane pricing change. How can somebody fumble things that badly? Especially since his record with the company isn't all bad with him getting Unity involved with Oculus/Meta, although that was a very self-serving move since he was an early investor in Oculus. Maybe that's it, just self-serving moves that occasionally benefit the company he's heading.
> Don't like it? Don't use the platform.

Many users don't even know that's possible, because all they've ever known is Google Play and it comes pre-installed on the majority of the devices, without a clear way to get something else.

Even their own store explicitly disallows other store apps: https://play.google.com/intl/ALL_uk/about/developer-distribu...

> 4.5 You may not use Google Play to distribute or make available any Product that has a purpose that facilitates the distribution of software applications and games for use on Android devices outside of Google Play.

This leads to the second point: developers will essentially be locked into using Google Play because trying to opt for any other platform that doesn't have many users is pretty much killing their own business. Unless you are explicitly targeting a demographic in an area where Google's service is unavailable, if you like putting food on the table then you basically don't have a choice.

It feels like a monopoly due to the network effect, especially with how third party APKs will throw warnings on Android by default.
If you're going to do this, look for a proven stable Nextcloud solution. I followed one of the many guides on the web a couple of years ago to install Nextcloud on Debian, which worked, but the first major update broke it. I couldn't fix it because I didn't know why it broke. You wouldn't want to be in that situation with employees waiting for service to be restored.

Since then, I've been running an always-on Syncthing instance as a "cloud hub" and that's been great, though I doubt it would scale well.
The users that will pay are not the average user: they are worth more in online ads because they have more disposable income that they deploy online.
I wish folks would realize this has knock on effects for them--you're paying 30% more for things (or 15%, if it's a small developer). Is the "safety and curation" of the Play Store (or Apple App Store) worth 30% more to you?

(Full disclosure: I moved my apps off the Apple App Store/Google Play Store earlier this year. I wasn't seeing any value with distributing on them. After leaving, I've had better interactions with my users and almost all of the folks who discover my apps end up upgrading to the paid version. While my installs are lower, my conversion rate has never been higher.)
Dunno where I heard it first, but a good insight about any sort of one-to-many communication is that you're going to get a spectrum of responses.

I know you’ve acknowledged the numbers in your response are off, but nevertheless there’s a seemingly problematic assumption underlying this statement even if your numbers held true: there’s no reason that Facebook should only ask users to cover the opportunity cost difference between having ads and not having ads.

Although the “appropriateness” of the fee may be called into question, it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that Facebook will successfully argue that with operating costs of around 6 billion per month, and around 3 billion MAU (i.e. around 2 USD/user), with good SaaS margins expected to be around 80%, a charge of around 10 USD per month is not “inappropriate”, which is almost exactly what they’re charging.
