If the big tech companies hadn't made surveillance and ads as the defacto business model, letting users own and keep their data would have been the natural evolution from desktop computing to mobile computing. Instead we are stuck with this toxic environment of giving out software for "free" in order to establish a monopoly and then squeezing data out of users.
Electric cars are simply not as good as their ICE counterparts, at least at the low/mid tier. High end you've got great options. But there seems to be no electric competitor to the Toyota Corolla that is as good or better at the same or lower price.

Because of tampering. If an attacker can produce a pair where the public key's last 40 chars match the victim's public key last 40 chars they effectively have a public key to dish out via MITM.

How feasible it is to produce said pair is another story.
Yes, you can get loans for home renovation if you so choose. Most people would just get in the attic and run the wire though, it's not actually that much work.

I don't think it is theoretically possible, but even if it was, it would be tantamount to inventing one or more new CRDTs per application. Each begin/end transaction block would become its own research project.
I'm way less comfortable with the idea that google gets to decide who sees this data than my government. The right that google is asserting here is the right to sell this data or use it for its own benefit, not the right to keep it private.
It absolutely is speculation if you haven't done the legwork and just want to throw out quick and easy takes like this.
This is varies by language. In several languages including English, "half six" is an abbreviation of "half [[an hour] past] six". In others, it's "half [[an hour] to] six".
How does that relate to what I said?

I am not disputing that adding CO2 to the atmosphere will net cause warming. I am asking for the methodology used to test climate models. The same with the fact that pollution is bad: nothing to do with the testing of climate models.

The analogy with medicines where controlled trails are not possible is flawed. You can observe large numbers of people. We can only observe one planet.

From the replies and the down votes, its seems people read even asking questions about climate models as a claim that climate change is not happening, or human beings are not a major cause, or something similar.
Yeah I find this one exhausting too because meanwhile in German "half six" is exactly that, "halfway to six"

Thanks for mentioning GCaptain. Not my industry, so never heard of it, but that seems like an interesting page. Found this article which highlights one of the big problems in all this that no one talks about: https://gcaptain.com/eu-shipping-and-us-naval-leaders-are-es...

> In this context, it’s crucial to understand that the US Navy’s obligations primarily extend to protecting US-flagged cargo ships. This fleet, albeit inclusive of vessels owned by European entities such as Maersk and Stena, constitutes less than 100 ships. This number is minuscule compared to the global merchant fleet, which comprises approximately 50,000 ships the US Navy is not legally obligated to protect. While European shipowners have the option to register ships (even foreign-built ones) under the American flag to ensure US Naval protection, all continue to favor the tax savings and legal benefits offered by flags of convenience such as Panama, Liberia, and the Marshall Islands. However, it’s important to note that these jurisdictions lack naval forces capable of safeguarding their registered ships, presenting a significant security gap in maritime operations.

Good old capitalism doing an "Hey! Countries! Help us!" "How about paying taxes?" "No taxes. Just help."

I think what they mean is: Sonic speeds / Mach 1 brings a set of problems. Mach 2, 3, 4 don't add new ones. But Mach 5 does, hence warranting a different naming with hypersonic. At least that's how I understood the conversation.
I think "insecure default" or even "wrong default" is more fitting in this case.
Why is there http/3 in the middle? SSH over QUIC makes a lot of sense and was something I thought about before.

The SSH protocol is designed to multiplex many “channels” over an encrypted tcp socket. Over each channel you can run things like a shell or SFTP.

It would need some engineering but you could keep the same SSH features but replace the multiplexing channels over tcp with QUIC channels over udp. Where does HTTP/3 fit in besides to add overhead?

I don't know where you got that information, but you were misinformed. It is the case that most credit cards have minimum bank balances, but they aren't high enough to stop people from getting them.

A lot of households with bank accounts are considered 'underbanked', a euphemism meaning they've got enough money for a bank account, but also use services like payday loans, pawn shops, money orders, and so on. These are poor people, unless you arbitrarily choose the cutoff for poverty as "cannot get a credit card", which I don't think anybody does.

And the majority of these household have credit cards. This is from an FDIC survey summary:

> Underbanked households were less likely to have a credit card and were more likely to have both bank and nonbank personal loans than fully banked households in 2021. For example, 62.4 percent of underbanked households had a credit card, compared with 76.6 percent of fully banked households. (https://www.fdic.gov/analysis/household-survey/index.html)

And here's another source, from the Federal Reserve Bank of NY, saying:

> Credit card debt is the most commonly held debt across all income groups, yet only half of low-income households have access to a credit card. (https://www.newyorkfed.org/medialibrary/media/press/the-stat...)
But what would such feature be? I'm thinking the personal equivalent of a fully immersive screen could do it. But if it's fundamentally limited, like more of an Apple TV device, then maybe not.
Demand also changes. Some author like Dan Brown is all the rage for a while. Ten years later, they may not need all those copies--maybe just keep the one or two copies of some title that are in the best shape. To greater or lesser degrees, libraries do review their circulation records. If a circulatable book hasn't been out for ten years it's probably a candidate for deletion unless it has some unique interest.
I could do that, but I’m using the built in Bluetooth on my desktop. Honestly, I’m just annoyed with Bluetooth and windows. Everything else not based on Windows work completely fine, from macOS to my multiple linux desktops
The performance difference is a small constant factor, perhaps 1.05x, perhaps 3x depending on the workload. If you are writing kernels, high performance graphics, signal processing, numeric analysis - sure, that's significant.

For the typical application though, it's fast enough, you get same order of magnitude performance as C++ or Rust with a almost Python like mental load. As the success of other dog-slow languages show, this is a major selling point.

> they took two years off from feature development to release Snow Leopard with “zero new features” because things had gotten too bad

This is not an accurate characterization of Snow Leopard. See "The myth and reality of Mac OS X Snow Leopard": https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/2023/11/5.html See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Snow_Leopard

There were many significant changes to the underlying technologies of Snow Leopard. Moreover, Snow Leopard was not, despite the common misconception, a "bug fix release". Mac OS X 10.6.0 was vastly buggier than Mac OS X 10.5.8.

It doesn't sound too hard to generate an RSA "vanity key", with any value you want for some of the bytes.

You can't control _all_ of the bytes, because it still needs to have the right structure and for you to have the corresponding private key, but 40 bytes of your choosing seems completely doable.

And if you can do that, you can impersonate someone else whose pubkey has the same 40 bytes. With a hash, any bit difference in any part of the key should result in a completely different fingerprint (hash collisions being extremely hard to find).

This is not recent news to some of us.

The theoretical model put forth is this: the nutrition in fruits and seeds comes from the plant, not the ground. It’s substantially what’s been saved up all season. So when a smaller plant has bigger fruit, it doesn’t have the reserves you’d expect for such a volume of produce. Hence nutritionally anemic food.

Add to this fruits and veg selected for shipping stability. Longer times to rot, and thicker skins that don’t bruise when loaded into crates. That shitty bland tomato you bought probably wasn’t even ripe when it was picked. It ripened in transit, possibly by being exposed to chemicals that boost ripening. Underripe fruits were picked before they were ready.

> What on earth is this article trying to accomplish?

Most articles explain building event-driven systems from a greenfield point of view. This article is for when you want to build an event-driven system but you already have brownfield relational data.
The event store and the cache are both part of the same system, and it's this whole system that is "eventually consistent".

Say I create widgets on screen 1 and they are persisted with event sourcing into Postgres. I see the list of created widgets on screen 2, loaded from a materialised view in Postgres (or Elasticsearch). The "lag" between it being created on screen 1 and appearing on screen 2 is the "eventual consistency" issue I'm referring to here, whereas I think you're referring to the consistency only of the persistence on screen 1.

I'm sure we both agree there's no getting away from CAP theorem. Event sourcing accepts less consistency, and every part of the system needs to deal with that.

Picking your (tech) poison wisely
What to do and what not to do when you consider adding new tools and technology to your tech stack.
What I read is that it is the best theoretically possible error correction mechanism, given a convolutional code as input, and thus also the highest cost mechanism that one would consider.

This doesn't mean that it is universally the best way of doing error correction, other ways of generating redundancy may provide a better set of tradeoffs.

Also, convolutional code is a system that can be configured in many ways, the complexity of the code generation feeds back into the decoding, so a simple convolutional code would be Viterbi decodable at the time, but a more complex system would overall provide better error correction, even though choosing such a system meant that Viterbi would be computationally infeasible.

You are external to the AI service, if you break the AI service you are still around to fix it. The consequences are relatively minor and easily remedied. Chesterton fence is about maintaining society, if you break that you may not be around to fix it so it stays broken, the consequence is major and not easily remedied. To force a software analogy; it would be like working on your autopilot software while you're flying on the same autopilot software - you're going to want to be very very careful when making changes.
Observation of two-neutrino double electron capture in 124Xe with XENON1T
This argument is weak in that it only compares percentage alone, rather than qualifying that in terms of impact to the individual/family. A family that makes $200,408 gross taxed at 18.38% is still left with $163,573. A family making $12,439 @ 9.78% only has $11,223 where every dollar counts in terms of trying to keep a roof overhead and bellies full. The wealthy have a higher tax burden because they have most of the money and have the most to gain from a smoothly operating society (which whether we like it or not, requires investment). I’m not even going to get into the disruptive nature of ultra wealthy people in a “free” society that is dominated by wealth more than any other attribute.

I’m not saying the rich family’s needs are irrelevant, but I mean… come on; if we’re gonna advance an argument that beats around the bush of being fair, this one is DOA.

I don’t enjoy paying taxes anymore than the next person, especially when so much of it is squandered and misappropriated, but I’ve been on both ends of my example.
No they are modifying the way it’s collected so that it stays local and they don’t have it at that level of detail.

You can’t have “320k VBR” for MP3, because 320k is the maximum available bitrate. You can either have 320K CBR, or VBR at some lower average bitrate.

As long as you’re using LAME, MP3 is transparent far below 320k. There’s never a need to go that high. For archival purposes, use FLAC, not MP3.

Wind, please!

Most reports like this focus on temperature, some on rainfall.

But more energy in atmosphere -> wind speeds increasing seems logical. And matches my subjective experiences. Would be nice to see this visualized using hard numbers (both extremes & averages).

Over time, agricultural soil begins to resemble hydroponic growth medium. It’s not soil, it’s just something to hold roots and deliver water and fertizers.

Which means it definitely doesn’t have much nitrifying bacteria and absolutely doesn’t have any fungi transporting minerals from deeper underground or by organically weathering sand particles.

ParadeDB developer here -- we're developing a way for users to no zero-ETL sync between any managed Postgres and ParadeDB, so that you can get a dedicated search node on Postgres without slowing down your production DB. We expect this will be the primary way in which people use ParadeDB in the future.

That being said, we understand that for startups it might be easier to have pg_bm25 directly within their production database, especially if data volume is small. We're actively open to working with other Postgres-as-a-Service providers in the space to make this possible :)

They're loops with stronger semantics (in other words, they're more restrictive (in other words, they're easier to reason about)), in the same way that loops themselves are `goto` with stronger semantics.
As if this even matters? If you've got a cell phone turned on, it's registered with a tower. Police can still get your location history via tower pings from the cellular providers. I think it sucks that Google is discontinuing this service, because I like being able to go back and see when I was at a particular place. So the police can still do this, but once Google turns off timeline, I can't any longer.

This simply isn't true. Bias disclaimer, most of my salary is paid by ads.

Is there a lot of money to be made selling data? Sure.

But most of the scenarios of value to customers involve sharing data.

It is crucial to me that my photos are backed up automatically in case I lose my device. It is very convenient and nice that those photos have metadata such that I can search "Berlin" and find photos taken when I'm in Berlin.

It is convenient for me to have one search bar where I can search for "Thai food" and find it near me without having to go into a mapping app and do the search from there (which would also need to reach out to the internet with a query about my current location).

There are societal problems from big data, but the concept of "free" is only one reason we ended up here - data enables a huge number of scenarios which deliver real customer value and which people want.

It’s the “least controversial idea” if you have faith in the government to do the right thing. Many people don’t, for one reason or another. Fortunately, more people (and companies) are realizing that liabilities like this can be absolved by simply not having the data, or access to the data, in the first place. This involves storing data locally on client when possible, using end to end encryption when possible, encryption by default (the default on latest HTTP, DNS, etc), and simply not holding sensitive data in the first place. There’s still work to do, but we are moving in the right direction.
