Hm, sources seem to vary a lot ... but they all seem to be within a single order of magnitude at least.
While I've never had a game, video or book deleted from my library, I feel like I'd be justified (morally, not legally) to pirate it if it were deleted from my library.

I'm still wary of buying digital items, but the availability of pirated versions does give me some comfort

PG's JSONB is compressible yet also indexed (objects' key/value pairs are sorted on key and serialized array-like; arrays are indexed by integers; therefore binary searching large objects works). The history of PG's JSONB type is very interesting.
> Image parsers in UEFIs from all three major IBVs are riddled with roughly a dozen critical vulnerabilities

I'd suspect that an image parser is only involved when a logo needs to be displayed. So it looks like a great way to lower the chances of triggering these vulnerabilities. I'll switch off mine.

OTOH if an image parser is also invoked when the logo is updated, to check that it parses correctly, this won't be enough :(

I flatiron is a relative term. yes, if you define gold as the unit of value, then it can not inflate or deflate.

I've bookmarked your guide, and will use it when I setup a W11 machine in 2025. I haven't used 11 yet, but I understand the taskbar is no longer full length and is now more like the mac dock.

Is there a fix for that other than installing something like OpenShell?
Firstly, I generally agree. There is a barrier to piracy. Personally, I don't think it's a lot to overcome, when someone wants to.

There are a number of torrent sites still active and when they go down, others will appear. That's how it's happened historically.

Usenet is still alive and well.

Pirate streaming sites are still out there.

Torrentfreaks is a great source for sites, etc.

There are a lot of ways for media to be pirated. Operating a vpn and torrent, while not part of most people's skillsets, the tech has advanced to the point where it's not difficult.

There was a tech barrier, but advancements in tech, make VPN as easy as,
install WindScribe. Register an account. Click a button. VPN connect active.
(Note: I'm not advocating WS, they are a random VPN provider I used as an example)

The unions are outside the state model. Their only task is to protect workers and their rights. So no. The Sweden has 88% of their 10.5 million workers population in unions. And you can bet they care more about their working conditions than US military bases.

And since they are also voters on next elections, you can imagine what would happen if government would start working against unions in favor of US military bases.
I wonder how the US army feels about a South American venture this time? Given the things happening in Guyana.

>HOW IT WORKS

>This is one of the Synth's eight motor oscillators. It can produce four distinct waveforms - the optical disc creates sine, saw and square waves through reading wave reflections via infra-red sensors while the electromagnetic pickups at each motor's base produce the inductive "M" waveform.

The picture shows a small motor driving a physical "strobe" disk printed with 3 different patterns, which are read by optical sensors to create the electrical sine, saw and square waves whose frequency depends on the motor RPM at the time.

The electromagnetic pickups at the bottom of the motor apparently generate an "M" shaped wave as the motor turns. This is the one that's conceptually similar to the original Hammond organ starting from 1935 which also did mechano-electrical waveform synthesis.[0] Although the Hammond motor ran at constant speed synchronized to the power line frequency. The Hammond had a metal disk for each note of the musical scale, precision machined like gears so each note would be at the proper pitch, and the lobes of the disks create the periodic magnetic induction to the pickups which generate the repetitive waveforms.

Definitely not a desktop instrument, a Hammond can be as big as a desk itself, and even heavier. But it was a true synthesizer.

It was also in the 1930's when Hewlett & Packard started up and developed their electrical frequency generator, where a single vacuum tube triode can be wired as an oscillator and used as the source of precision waveforms at a frequency of choice. Making it directly possible for someone to construct a fully electronic organ along the same lines. A musical instrument like this would be a more modern milestone.

So about 20 years later once the patents on these type circuits expired, Thomas organs began to appear in the 1950's where each note had its own triode, so it was a very early organ which was truly a fully electronic synthesizer.

Still didn't sound as good as the Hammonds, but Hammond had decades of absolute top continuous improvement in engineering by then.

[0] Also somewhat analogous to a crankcase position sensor on an internal combustion engine.
Yep, thanks, one of those did the trick. (For people wondering, you log out of the IDE on the initial screen when you don't have any projects open.)
Look it up in the dictionary. In some interpretations, "rent indefinitely" has effectively the same meaning as buy. In others, it could mean what you described.

Such transactions would now mean different things to different people. That's not an improvement, and it is unlikely that the federal judiciary would agree that the federal government has the authority to force corporations to make such a change.

Here's a better way to look at it.

What was 65 years(retirement age) year before each of these.I'll do it for you.

So 1930 - 65 = 1865. The end of the American Civil war.

1979 - 65 = 1914. The end of WW1

2009 - 65 = 1944. The end of WW2

Each of these events correspond with a major baby boom post war and subsequent major retirement period. These financial crisis are a consequence of major war.

Economists figured this out ages ago and now understand how to prevent future recessions.

So how about covid?

2020 - 65 = 1955 end of korean war.

It was simple to predict "covid" and guess what I was invested in on January 2020. Large cap healthcare. Big box consumer staples. All the stuff that would stay open.

Also an interesting discovery. No amount of money printing keeps the economy afloat, you must let it crash.

2040 is the next big one for vietnam, but that was a long war. Might not be the same. Might be harder to predict.

This is not necessarily true. You’re assuming that all the info is in push notifications themselves.

E.g: if I get a push notification that is simply “you have a new event, poll the server”, and then I poll the server for (encrypted) batch updates, where exactly do you see the leak that ties an anonymous profile to an Apple ID? Given a large enough service, that same generic batch update endpoint would be getting hammered and I have to think it would effectively be camouflaged to a degree.

Granted, not every app is going to use this design - but if or when done properly I don’t see that much of an issue here.

(I am open to being wrong, mind you)

The reasoning is correct but the conclusion is backwards IMO.

You should "adjust for inflation" (using other measures for inflation) to examine the current price of gold. If gold is still expensive, either the inflation adjustments are incorrect, gold is mispriced, or external force is driving demand for gold.

Put another way, because gold is an "independent yardstick" for inflation, you have to "adjust for inflation" to draw any conclusions about the current price of gold.

You have that math backwards. A smelter turns ~1/2 the energy from electricity into chemical energy and releases the remaining 1/2 as heat thus the COP would be 0.5 not 2. However smelting is profitable because aluminum oxide is less valuable than aluminum which more than compensates for the waste heat having zero value at the smelter.

Thus various schemes for combined heat and power etc which take the valueless waste heat and use it for some other purposes like warming homes or greenhouses etc. So while the COP would be 0.5 the electricity would be subsidized by the smelling process. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cogeneration

Where such schemes fail is generally economies of scale.
> I wouldn’t value a one off coffee greater than a month of AI assistance.

My point is that if you are making coffee and not buying it ready from some expensive place just because the name then $10 wouldn't give only two cups. I bet you might spend about $10 per whole month in many places if you making it yourself.

> You’re a developer - no matter how low your salary is, 10$ is incredibly cheap.

That's a good argument, my point was not saying that price is expensive. Just the coffee comparison is not true. Also one can talk about people working as programmers outside NA and EU but well probably they will probably not be using jetbrains IDEs but they are free for students. I really hoped they would have some education discount.

> Supposedly the amount of silver needed to buy a goat during Roman times is similar to today

Interesting factoid if true, but it's hard to see how this could be anything other than coincidence. The relative scarcity, and demand, for goats vs silver must have changed massively due to things like modern factory farming, modern mechanized mining, modern fiat currency, modern food alternatives, etc, etc.

So, if the price of goats in silver is in fact still the same, I don't think the takeaway should be that these two commodities can be assumed to still have the same relative supply vs demand of 2000 years ago, and that this proves that bullion is a good store of value (even if it is).
Just to be clear for anyone who didn't actually look at the graph, the ratio varies by about a factor of five over the last hundred years, with wild swings due to the Great Depression/WW2, what I assume is inflation in the 1970s, and the early-2000s housing bubble. And while the 1890s value is more similar to 2023, the ratio varied by tens of percentage points in the years around both of those dates. So it's not like the price of housing is stable if you use gold instead of dollars. (The post I'm replying to did not imply this. I mention it because there's a tendency to abuse these kinds of facts to construct neat little narratives about currency.)

I've thought the mandates were stupid right from the start. Don't get me wrong, I am not an anti-masker, and I work in healthcare so I've worn a mask every day for the last 3 years.

But forcing people who do not want to wear masks to wear them is just a waste of masks. They aren't wearing them properly or effectively. Hell, a large portion of people who support masks aren't wearing them properly. This is why you see so many people with masks around their chin or below their nose. Might as well have just thrown the mask straight into the garbage.

Any miniscule benefit from forced masking is outweighed by the oppositionary reaction to being forced to do something you don't want to do. Now you have people protesting masks and purposefully wearing them wrong in the name of "muh freedoms".
