> strict cheating policies that essentially made any group work verboten

If I had to guess, some polytechnic school or another?

With some classes even forbidding discussing work with other students, where each assignment required a signed (digitally or otherwise) affidavit listing everyone you consulted, acknowledging that if you actually listed anyone, you were admitting to violating the academic honesty policies and if you didn't list anyone yet had spoken with others you were of course also violating the academic honesty policies.

Where only consulting the professors or TAs was allowed, the TAs were never around, and the professors refused to help because if they gave you any hints, it would apparently give away the answer, which would be unfair to the other students.
Literally nothing stops these companies from having a staff member look up the courthouse's contact info on the official court website, call a clerk, and verify the warrant....except they don't want to pay for the labor to do so.

Again, just chanting "FRED charts" is not a magic wand. One of the FRED chart links you posted [1] shows real median household income trending steadily downward from 2019's peak of from 78,250 in 2019 to 74,580 in 2023.

That's literally a decrease. I am not clear as to why you want me and others to somehow see that as an increase? And don't say "cherry-picking", there were no stimulus checks in 2019.

The alternative is to leave to a for profit company. That company should not have that right.

If the content is rendered in my browser I can manipulate the JS and HTML as much as like. If you don’t like that -> feel free to put protections. But the same way a browser interprets the code I can put stuff on top of that interpretation.

So morally I’m okay to use a blocker if that’s what I want to do. It’s also immoral to track me but Google seems to be okay with it. If that is the relationship they want to establish so be it. I will act in the reciprocal manner.

The idea is not to decide on what someone else is going to do with their mind. Hence the idea that everyone is free to do what they want. Ads are not a natural part of the world so making the argument that not watching them is somehow wrong is what is actually a decision being pushed on others.

If companies didn’t try to normalize ads and tell you off for using adblockers then nobody would have a problem with it. But given that people say: You need to watch ads otherwise you are stealing is putting decisions in someone’s mind.

Any status updates on the next gen CHEWR?
Followup: One day after widespread press, Beeper has apparently triggered Apple’s protections and is temporarily offline until they rotate identifiers and perhaps IPs. Apple has neither acknowledged that Beeper exists, nor stated whether Beeper was blocked by automated or a manual process. This happens every year with third-party iMessage clients, but we’ll see how it goes for them. Perhaps it’ll be different this time.
I can run a 30B parameter model on my M1 laptop at a pretty decent token rate. I can run two instances of the same model in parallel without affecting the speed.

A maxed out M2 Mac Studio can easily run 70B models and very likely 137B models too. The key is quantization.

So it’s all within reach for under $7k if you’re willing to accept a slightly lower quality (~5 bit quantization).

That's like saying forging a plea from a Nigerian prince is trivial. Verizon should be deeply embarrassed by this - I mean the initial request came from a proton account with misspellings and grammar mistakes of a child.

I don't know how Verizon does it, but I have a friend who works in the "respond-to-law-enforcement department" at one of the FAANGs. Given the company, they get tons of legal requests for info, but also tons of fraudulent ones, not to mention ones from real governmental organizations but that are dubious that they challenge. Point being they have extremely detailed processes and technology to respond to these requests. Verizon is the biggest cell phone company in the US, they can afford to not look like a total clown show in this regard.
You hit the nail on the head. Games requiring DRM or anti-cheat probably won't run. Its something Valve has been working on, but its been slow going. Other than that, 99% of the games I've tried have just worked.

Just to explain - some people may think different because they have different experience.

Personally, I don't use default texting, like, at all. Except for those notification/2FA SMSes and couple of contacts, I don't ever open it. For me, mentally, chatting with people (with 2 exceptions) is done through different apps, not the built-in one. And this forms a view that default app is just "one rarely used messenger, of many".

But then, even though I'm in the US, most of my chats are international.

> You cannot, without elaborate workarounds, text from a consumer computer, tablet or other device as if it was a phone. Texting requires a phone number and a phone plan.

Nitpick, but I can text from my Mac laptop using the messages app. I haven't looked into exactly how exactly it works but I think it's somehow proxying/mirroring the messages through my iPhone. It's very smooth and "just works" though.

> interoperability nightmare that is currently texting.

How about calling it an open competitive market? Centralizing everything on a single format would be a bad thing for the industry and for consumers. Having separate independent networks with drastically different feature sets is a good thing. Trying to find the intersection feature set of Discord, LINE and Signal would result in three applications drastically hampered in their features. LINE for example has an extensive independent industry of artists selling "stamps" that you can buy.
Topic at hand is internet pornography
You're assuming the perpetrator can be identified, the US government gives a shit enough to pursue the matter (unless the victim is someone economically or politically elite, they won't), and the perp is somewhere our government can reach them in terms of extradition.

The most relevant example I can think of would be a CCP hacker forging a search warrant for a US-based political activist. The government would probably care, but good luck identifying some random Chinese Army hacker, much less extraditing them.

1. The less code I depend on written by others, the fewer maintenance problems I have.

2. Most developers 10x over-complicate solutions and spend 20x too much time implementing them.

3. Don't ever deprecate API's! An API is a contract that potentially thousands of systems or developers rely on. So find ways to move forward without breaking things. You are a pro right? So act like one. Linus gets it. Most don't.
The poll asked if they backed their current military action. That’s not the same as being pro- or anti-Israeli.

In fact, less Israelis support the war than any of the American groups you mentioned. Only 29% support the war, with 49% against.

(Note: the poll you cite doesn’t allow for unsure, making the numbers incomparable. I worded the above to count unsure as “not supportive of”. If you count them as “supporting”, then Americans are still about as supportive as Israelis.).

During a quick scan of the catalog I found a few issues.

Sentry isn't open source, even after their most recent license change. The Business Source License and variants are source available, not open source.

FireCMS is built on top of Firebase, rather than being an alternative to it. It's a similar story with the Jira CLI. They're open source, but they're useless without the backend to talk to.

Plausible Analytics and Papermark are both listed twice. Rustdesk is also listed twice, once as Rustdeck.

The GIMP isn't listed under photoshop. This was a surprise omission.

Many of these projects have commercial backers who offer a paid SaaS offering. Given this is the case I'm not sure linking to SaaS product site when claiming your site offers "Open-source alternatives to tools You pay for" is the expected behaviour. I was expecting it to link to the open source code.
It's completely behind the scenes now. If you have Steam on Linux, there's a setting you enable to allow the "Proton" compatibility layer (Valve's fork of Wine), and all Windows games appear in your library list. That's it. You install and run them like any native game, and aside from a bit longer start up the first time you launch a game, the experience is indistinguishable. I imagine a significant portion of Steam Deck owners have no idea they're not using Windows. I actually wish they would add some badge to a game entry so I can tell what's native, because it's hard to tell.
Well, obviously, if those messages aren't using Apple's servers, then Apple hasn't stopped them, so there's no interference.

At the level of nation-states, there is an anarchistic relationship between one another. There's no real concept of legality at an international level when you peel away all the bureaucratic nonsense. John J. Mearsheimer touches on this briefly in his interview with Lex Fridman: https://youtu.be/r4wLXNydzeY

The permanent members of the UN's Security Council do not abide by laws they force other members to abide by. This is because there really are great powers in the world, which, despite being difficult for people in the West to understand, is very obvious in the rest of the world.
Nobody said what?
They only stopped advocating for one state after the Arabs suffered humiliating losses against the Israelis in all those wars (where the Arabs were the aggressors). Given the choice between a one state Palestinian country where Jews are a repressed minority, and a two state solution with a trillion dollar aid package for Palestine, the Palestinians will still choose the first option.

> You'll also note that League of Nations (and UN) mandates can not change the laws of the lands they administer - then can only issue temporary orders (usually limited to three years). So British orders are not valid in the holy land today

I don't know where you are getting this from, it isn't true. The League of Nations Palestine Mandate [0] granted the UK "full powers of legislation and of administration, save as they may be limited by the terms of this mandate" (Article 1). You will not find any limitation preventing them from making permanent laws within it.

The UK imposed its own legal system on the Mandate, as Article 1 allowed. It ended up mostly abolishing Ottoman law, although it retained it in certain areas (especially family law, inheritance, religious affairs and real estate). The laws it imposed were not necessarily those of the metropolitan UK – the criminal code was largely copied from colonial India. The starting point of Israeli law is Israel's decision at the time of independence to continue the British Mandate's legal system, until such time as the Knesset decided to alter things. It wasn't until 1977, for example, that Israel completely replaced the British-imposed penal code with its own. Palestinian law has the same fundamental starting point, although with the added complexity of being overlaid with Egyptian and Jordanian legislation (in Gaza and the West Bank, respectively), and then a mixture of Israeli and Palestinian legislation laid on top of that.

Does the court in each jurisdiction need to submit their public key for inclusion? Who in the federal government is responsible for verifying that a legitimate court submitted the key?

What if the head of the agency responsible for verifying these courts institutes a policy that courts will lose their verification for rulings against abortion?

What if two courts in neighboring jurisdictions claim to be the same court? They each submit a different public key, but both can verify they hold the private key that pairs with the public key they submitted. How does the federal agency even verify the identity of a courthouse? Do they need to physically visit them and meet with the judge to tap a Yubikey?

What if somebody steals the YubiKey from the judge? What if a referendum dissolves a jurisdiction?

What is the process for revocation of verification?
Intent matters, and disregarding it disables your ability to determine right from wrong. If someone attacks you and you kill them by acting in self defense, you absolutely would hope that the people judging you for your actions would consider your intent. You would probably feel you don't deserve to spend a moment in handcuffs, let alone night in jail, let alone go through a criminal trial, let alone be sentenced, even if it is negligible in comparison to a murderer.

Completely agreed about the nonsensical first claim. We have many third-party clients for other messaging platforms where privacy and security are a primary feature. It's completely tenable, especially for a player like Apple.

Or put another way: If the privacy and security of imessage is compromised by someone building another client, I'd argue that you never had either to begin with.

I can't say I never see an ad, but I avoid/cancel services with ads, or happily sign up at the no-ad level.

When I do see ads its shocking. Car ads have little to do with cars, and everything to do with insecurity and Pavlovian hacks. Idiocracy drip by drip.

People expose themselves to crap influences day in and day out, then imagine this or that ad isn't impacting them. The stream has profoundly impacted them or they wouldn't tolerate any of it.
> people whose jobs are automated away become unemployed

Meanwhile, the quality of life for the unemployed keeps improving due to those same technologies. If unemployment is a problem because of lack of access to things you want (other than status symbols), then it's hardly a problem anymore in developed countries. If the problem is a feeling of shame or uselessness, then maybe we should be building or growing other institutions to make unemployed people feel good about themselves.

You don't need a standard procedure followed all over the world. You just need some authentication procedure that's better than an easily forgable signature. I gave a few examples of the top of my head in the parent.

This is why I would rather have profit hungry corporations manage things than governments. Because with government there's always a legion of people rushing to excuse and explain away even the most serious examples of ineptitude and mismanagement.

Would you accept it if Facebook or Google let people login to user accounts via signed letter? So why is a signature enough for a search warrant?

A signature is not an acceptable method of authentication in 2023 for important documents. I don't see how that's not obvious.

States are social constructs, if enough people believe they exist then they exist. For 2000 years there was no State of Israel either, until enough people decided to believe in it and build it.

I should have probably specified the context but the code example I shared is not coming from a perspective of using React.

I think with React the way to handle state is dictated by the library so there isn't much choice you have to make. You basically have to follow whatever pattern React gives you.

That's pivoting from the experience of one person to comparing deaths in numbers. If we talk about the ratio we'll then need to include a bunch of other factors to explain it because it's not as simple as comparing experiences at the individual's level.
I'll check out Azure Data Studio, thank you.

For a bunch of reasons, probably all bad, I decided to roll my own, using ANTLR.

Being just a simple bear, LALR (yacc, bison) is beyond me.

With ANTLR4 the parse tree can be pretty close to the desired abstract syntax tree. Which is very nice.

Also, ANTLR4 has automagic left-recursion, so grammars can be very similar to the (reference) EBNF.

Lastly, ANTLR4 allows grammar inheritance. My hope is to have a subgrammar for each dialect which extends the one amazing core supergrammar. Looking at all the example SQL grammars, they're all pretty different, so it's not immediately clear how to generalize. Which is a bummer.

There are millions of people in Africa who have been born and grown up in refugee camps, and you are arguing that they should all simply give up and consider themselves settled there forever because they’ve never been to the places their parents or grandparents fled? For one thing, they might believe that an entire farm would be better to live in than a single flattened apartment?

And then you argue for the ‘67 borders: that’s 50 years ago, what makes those the borders we should roll back to when almost no Palestinians of today were alive before then?
