The point is that stealing has traditionally meant denying the rightful owner the thing that has been stolen. What is going on here is that a copy has been made without permission - piracy is copyright infringement, this is different to stealing.

https://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-definitions.html#:~:t....

Now there has been a lot of effort by the media industry to equate copyright infringement with stealing, I think because the public at large doesn't really understand infringement as a terrible thing. Stealing appears in the 10 commandments, so in our judeo christian societies it's a home run to get 'right thinking' people on side.
That data is privately held by utilities, and the high voltage transmission infrastructure is highly confidential (CEII/NERC CIP). If you just need sample data, I'd recommend checking out the test data provided with power flow simulators like OpenDSS for distribution systems [1] or MATPOWER for generation + transmission [2]. The IEEE test systems are what are used in research, they have the component specs you're looking for, and are provided with those tools.

I guess there's a huge difference between raising funds (selling bonds) to fund domestic projects and sending it to other EU states as "aid", no?
This is like making a car where the airbags only deploy if you hit another car of the same brand.

Sure, if this car is super safe it may be better if both you and the other driver both had it. But it is clearly better to have airbags, even if the other car is less safe than it could be if it was from the first-party brand.

It is one thing to not try to mitigate security issues outside their control and another thing to remove possible security because you don't control it entirely.

If you set it up on an iPhone once, is the number then linked somehow? Since fully Apple users do get phone number iMessages pop up on macOS too right? Or is that only locally synchronised by Bluetooth or something?
Haha possibly! It doesn't seem so far-fetched to me but I suppose we have different perspectives.
This will be amusing - how do you think conveyor sushi places charge if not by the plate?
It sounds to me like you are trying to say that because technology exists to enforce oppressive stances against basic consumer rights we all had just a few years ago, we should also not make use of technology that exists to circumvent this attack.

Is your argument solely based on "it is, therefore it should be", or is there more to it?
> I use only one messaging app for all of my friends!

i admire the resolve. on the other hand i think that rules out iMessage playing much role in that long-term, right? like, they're just never going to play nicely with others, it's not easy for the broader developer base to integrate with much less improve, and so on. so you're back to SMS, and the baseline SMS experience now is pretty limiting and stalled (much as SMTP stalled): a big part of why people leave for app-based messengers is for features like voice memos, video-chat, multi-device (e.g. PC) support, better multimedia support, etc. to say "SMS forever" i think is to say "i'm okay never having these features" -- which is a fine decision but important to note.

> A little confused by this, because Beeper and other unifying clients cannot in fact make groups which have participants on multiple platforms at all.

i'm pointing to where i understand the landscape to be headed. for channel-based chat systems like Discord, irc, Matrix, XMPP/jabber, Slack, it's common enough to find channels which are bridged across 2 or more of those protocols. my experience with ephemeral group chats is that if i want to plan a large enough event i just end up starting multiple group chats, and the unimportant details are chaotic but the important ones like where/when we're meeting i make sure find their way into both chats. there's a possible future where i start two group chats and my client bridges messages between them in the same way those channel-based systems bridge.
My "solution" to this problem is: hardware keys with backups for the really important services—Bitwarden, Google, domain registrar, etc. And then for stuff that isn't absolutely critical, I just use an OTP stored in Bitwarden. As for having both the password and OTP stored in the same place, the way I see it, the OTP is mainly protecting against keyloggers, data breaches, etc. And then I figure, if someone gets into my Bitwarden account, I'm already fucked anyway, so it's whatever.

I currently have four Yubikeys: one on my keychain, one in my apartment, one to take with me while traveling, and one at my parents' house. I figure this should be adequate to ensure I never get locked out of Bitwarden or Google, which would be an utter disaster.

„We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals.”

I believe that if you want to see hackers as only kids doing „fun stuff” at their desk at night making their (metaphorical and not) parents angry then either you are missing the bigger picture, or capitalism has gotten their ideological claws on the hacker culture and turned it into an obedient bunch of techbros that wouldn’t even dream of making the information free, as it wants to be.
People say this a lot - that we don't understand this or that, but I'm not really sure what they mean. We know exactly how these algorithms work. We know every calculation - the maths is not particularly difficult, we understand how the training process leads to information being stored in the weights, we know how inference works. What more would you want to understand before you would agree we understood it?

Agreed here. But I understand deeply why it's appealing for my fellow android users who are tired of being bullied into buying phones they just don't want by their friends who overwhelmingly drink the Kool aid. it's not great, and in the US the effect is very real.

> I think it'd be a lot more hacker-y to bring something like Signal up to the usability standards of iMessage, Whatsapp, Telegram, etc.,

Good idea... what about an existing open standard that is already adopted by a billion devices and can be implemented by any mobile phone manufacturer and carrier network.

Something that takes what's good about SMS and adds all those nice features. I bet we'd have to work together to make end to end encryption interoperable, and some of the fancier stuff is too new to be in the spec yet, but that's not too hard in the grand scheme of things.

Oh, RCS exists.
I also appreciate Gaben, but we can't rely on enlightened despots, it just leaves room for bad actors to eventually ruin things.

The issue is that I as an Apple user want to be able to use iMessage to communicate with Android users.

Is it sarcasm? you should tag it.

if it's not, and you are talking about recent "amnistia" events, it's hilarious, because some people in Catalunya were prosecuted for crating a referendum, I guess for you that's not democratic and on the other hand exonerating those with charges related to it, turns the country into a dictatorship.

What an irony.

Btw, I'm not Catalan nor want Catalunya to part ways, far right wing narratives like the one you present only create more and more "independentistas".
Good question. Are you talking about generation, transmission or distribution?

From my experience as an electrical engineer working for a distribution network:

* The traditional approach to network planning: take your edge cases (e.g. winter peak demand), and apply your engineering knowledge and intuition to manually study the most onerous outage conditions.

* This will vary on where you are in the world, but networks tend to have a good amount of slack built in.

* As networks become more complex, and the cost of computing has fallen, it's more feasible to automate contingency analysis (think about the number of different outage combinations for an N-2 scenario).

FWIW, the internal tools that I work on makes use of networkx to determine contingency cases.
TIL it even has one.
I think there's some truth to that. I also talk to people sceptical of the model (I'm in Germany, so scepticism is generally not in short supply), but by and large I'm most likely to meet and interact with people who believe the model works. Surely a bit of a bubble.
1. Congratulations to them. Godot is some great piece of open source software and everything that strengthens it is beneficial to the market segment as a whole.

2. Given the list and impact of 3rd party contributors and the absence of a CLA I think there is little ability for them to change the licensee in the future to something proprietary (nor is there any indication that the current key people at W4/Godot would want to do something like this)

3. That said, how do the venture capital companies hope that W4 makes them back their investment and a healthy profit on top. To be crystal clear, there is nothing wrong with that but I would like have it out in the open before. "Console support" seems a little bit thin although I'm ready to admit that I may not know enough about the industry.

If anyone could provide some additional information I'd be very thankful.

Edit: personally I prefer the open stewardship model like Blender or the Linux foundation where it is clear that Major financial contributors expect to get software for their own businesses out of it and support an open project in order to share costs and have a say in the direction it takes.
I would agree if they hadn't completely redone their website to remove every reference to Beeper Cloud. They really made it look like a deprecated product, not a good alternative that won't get blocked.
Yes, it's a bit hard to take them seriously as a US company. (I wonder would it matter if they were CA based instead of NY? Does the CCPA provide some better effective data protection - at least awareness, similar to the GDPR? And does NY have something similar?)

It kinda does sound like EEE.

„W4 Games will strengthen our role within the Godot ecosystem by supporting its open-source development and continuing to build products and services to facilitate Godot’s expansion, such as W4 Consoles (an approved middleware console porting solution for Godot games) and W4 Cloud (multi-tenant service to support millions of users).”

Kind of, but parent poster was talking about his own small server, which is likely hosted on a residential IP pool that's pretty much guaranteed to be blocked all the time.

All mail providers mass block IPs, because the spam from some ISPs is literally too much to even filter.

I run a few high volume (very legitimate) servers and it's been a huge pain in the butt to keep them off of blacklists, but at the same time we've also had spammer problems and I totally get it.
My key won't get upgraded (it just pretends to install the upgrade, says done, and the key stays on the same version).
Not so fun part is that this discussion goes on about „generic” idea.

I can already see that what works for software does not work for movies.

Other topic is also devices supporting DRM.

I would say paying for software new versions makes sense there is work to be done to keep it working on new devices etc.

Paying for the same book or movie again because distribution rights between corporations changed is messed up.
I don't know anything about game engines, but always assumed that Godot was limited to simpler games. A lot of people seem to be pushing for Godot to replace Unity after the recent licensing shambles.

Is it really possible to build games line Cities Skylines, Subnautica, Rust, Outer Wilds, KSP, Ori... in Godot? Is this more of a long term ambition at this point, or is it possible for this kind of game to be built in Godot today?

It would seem Spain lacks the political spine to even be outraged. Very telling indeed, but of much deeper problems here in the EU.

I'm positive every single individual in this thread that is justifying these actions, would have the opposite opinion if the roles were reversed. It's a shamefully ignorant position to have.
“We are asked to look for high-rise buildings with half a floor that can be attributed to Hamas,” said one source who took part in previous Israeli offensives in Gaza. “Sometimes it is a militant group’s spokesperson’s office, or a point where operatives meet. I understood that the floor is an excuse that allows the army to cause a lot of destruction in Gaza. That is what they told us.

“If they would tell the whole world that the [Islamic Jihad] offices on the 10th floor are not important as a target, but that its existence is a justification to bring down the entire high-rise with the aim of pressuring civilian families who live in it in order to put pressure on terrorist organizations, this would itself be seen as terrorism. So they do not say it,” the source added.

https://www.972mag.com/mass-assassination-factory-israel-cal...

The destruction levied in Gaza is not about achieving any military aims. It is about satiating the Israeli public's monstrous appetite for blood. The primary goal of the government is ensuring that it wins the next election too. Benjamin Netanyahu wasn't joking when he said "remember Amalek".
Sure, the current state does have issues. Also, I don't care much about that and since my solution to it is that don't purchase it if you don't like the rules.

Personally, I'm more concerned on fair use and the impact on the society when a product(media or software) is withheld geographically or produced with agenda beyond collecting direct payments. The fair use is more interesting one, when a digital product is widely successful it does have cultural impact on the society and IMHO it should become public domain at some point because the society becomes like a minefield for the other creatives.

I don't really care much about the tragedy of not being able to watch a movie years later after you paid as much as hamburger for it. It is not a real issue and you should have read the fineprint.

They are all just public key authentication with a protocol on top to enable various use cases. For FIDO2/WebAuthn/passkeys, the device, on registration, gives the website the public key to use for subsequent authentications.
Do you have any source for that? Because I check every update my org rolls out and it still hasn't arrived on my Desktop. I only heard a rumor a few months ago they enabled in some development preview so hopefully it will go mainstream one day.

The much-derided SnOOPEr'S CHarteR in the UK (which actually formalised and regulated stuff that was already being done) means that while it's not a judge signing off warrants for comms data, it involves police gatekeepers (and believe me, getting a warrant to blow someone's door off is a piece of piss compared to writing up a comms data application), who then send it to an independent decision making body who then return it to the police who then upload the request to CSP systems using a pre-agreed portal with appropriate authentication.

This touchstone of 'judicial oversight' is frequently nonsense. You can't tell me that every judge who has to give a warrant for a DUI blood draw at 3am in smalltown US is giving the matter any kind of scrutiny, nor that that judge has any legal or judicial experience at all.
From a cursory search it seems there are large games build in Godot. Sonic Colors: Ultimate seems to be an example.

I was not mislead by that comment. It was clear that most people have their messages accessible to Apple, which is what the article also talks about - how privacy of "blue bubble" messages is at the center of this.

There are ways to opt out. But that's for the margin of people who worry about these things. So what that comment said is very relevant and accurate.

Unity still has a more mature product compared to Godot, so for many projects it won’t be feasible to switch to Godot.

Unity is easier to use, has more fully featured and higher quality rendering pipelines, more integrations with other software, a larger asset store and the ability to quickly add advertisements to a game using Unity Ads. (etcetera)

That said, we stopped using Unity because of the term changes and are now focusing on building a custom game engine, but our use case is way different than game studios.

In game studios it’s a numbers game. e.g. How much does it cost to retrain our staff to switch to a different engine versus the benefits. From what I can see, Unity has not yet made its product so unattractive that it won’t be used for future productions.
I don't use SMS myself but in this case it sounds like I'd be better off just not being your friend.

I’d caution against using the word ‘deserve’ so loosely. While you may see it as meaning ‘imperial Japan had to be stopped by any means necessary’, it comes off more like retribution. It comes off like a bloodlust for revenge.

In general, ‘deserve’ should always be followed with ‘because…’. Just saying x deserves y assumes we agree on: what x did, an ethical/moral system, and that y is the best punishment/reward in that ethical/moral system.

What do you mean by people trying random things? I think that approach (if I understand the term correctly) is more or less what debugging is as a form of scientific investigation.

If you observe a car mechanic trying to find the problem with a car, he would go like: "is this pin faulty? No. Is the combustion engine faulty? No. Are the pedals faulty? Yes." where the mechanic starts with some assumptions and disproves them by testing each of those assumptions until (hopefully) the mechanic finds the cause of the fault and is able to fix it. Similar types of investigations are important to how natural science is done.

So it would be helpful if you can clarify your intended meaning a bit more. Maybe I or someone else would learn from it.
As far as I know there is no deduplication in normal mode either, versions are just full copies of the file.
I use both handbrake GUI and yt-dlp GUI. Here's something they both do horribly and I would suggest for any CLI tool with a GUI wrapper: have a persistent textarea at the bottom of the GUI that shows the equivalent CLI call to the settings I select in real time. This will teach the user how your tool works and also give GUI-only users a taste of the power they could have if they used the command line.

So basically, treat the GUI as a stepping stone to helping the user build scripts/workflows around your CLI. That way you are only developing the CLI, and the GUI is just a helper app. The second you start adding features to the GUI that can't be done in the CLI, you are now maintaining two separate apps.
