Isn't it ironic that a library of all places completely melts down when you damage their computers? It's not like a hospital for example who could reasonably argue "of course if you manage my systems my business melts down, it's not like managing paper records is part of my core expertise, I'm busy with other things".
Isn't that one of the case studies in the Innovator's Dilema? I don't remember any mention of unions in that.
They are all ad-free prices. Others have free and with-ad prices as well.
Verizon's network is as federated as iMessage, as in not at all. You can't just use Verizon for free, you pay for access through an authorized vendor or through Verizon themselves.

Just because something is accessible does not implicitly grant authorization, there are hundreds of court cases that have set that precedent (this is why you DON'T need an MOTD auth warning anymore). Not only is Beeper doing that, they're also profiting from their abuse. This is more than enough to be a major violation of the CFAA and this is probably what the DOJ is investigating.
I looked around, and I can't find any names to pin to the investigation. There's a very low-tech way to find public staff contact information, but you need a name. I don't even have a telephone number for what is probably the correct group (Division of Financial Practices), just their DC mailing address. Regardless, I can tell you that right now that Washington offices are empty. Skeleton crews only. Check back in after the first of the year.
Unless you're claiming people have become more greedy recently this can't be an explanation.
Why doesn’t the EU and other concerned government run a good counter-intelligence campaign going so far as to sanction especially evil governments. Instead they seem to want to control the narrative through positive censorship.

> Most people think that M0 is only a small factor in price increase and other factors like credit given by banks, the speed at which money moves and spending/saving behavior play a bigger role.

Well, what you seem to be describing is M2, aka actual money available for spending. Which is a rather large factor in the general price level.
I think one of the biggest things is the reduction in cheap energy. No Russian gas, no-one building nuclear plants, no fracking etc.
Participants in ISO standardization meetings are required to disclose any patents that they hold that may apply to whatever is being discussed.
Man with engineering degree, who does engineering things, can't call himself an engineer because he doesn't pay the government enough money, so says the government.

Dear Americans if you're wondering, Canada doesn't have free speech. I suppose Elon Musk recently got under fire for saying this.

Oh and the government won't be cracking down on all the other people improperly using the engineer title, like locomotive engineers or you know everyone who has ever engineered something at a makerspace or everyone in STEM.

This is political, he's part of a political party which needs suppressing.
I actually just enjoy building decks that are interesting in some way, and singles let me do that without going bankrupt.

I don't know what netdecking is (buying singles to make someone else's posted deck? no fun in that). I don't play competitively and I don't care about the meta or anything, I just have the most fun arranging decks to fit some purpose without having to gamble.

For what it's worth, the decks I've built weren't really meant to win (they rarely do), but to explore some aspect of Magic I felt interesting. An example one is a Mindflayers copy deck that just spawns a bunch of mind flayers and copies them and takes over enemy creatures one at a time. It almost never works (it's easy to counter and has a slow ramp), but in the rare instances it succeeds, it's fun to watch. I only built that deck because I was really enjoying Baldur's Gate 3.

I only started playing Magic a few months ago, and the pay to win aspect had zero appeal to me. I have no interest in collecting and selling cardboard cards, I just want to design fun new decks and experiment with them. Singles and proxies make that possible.

People who play Magic the random gamble way are IMO playing a different game. That's fine, just not what I'm into :)

They were charging for iMessage over a year ago in what is now called Beeper Cloud. I wonder why Beeper Mini created the ruckus, perhaps because it was iMessage only?
Well, drowning isn't much of a lifeguard's day. A far bigger threat is slip-and-falls, old people breaking hips and kids breaking arms on wet pool decks. That loose equipment on the ground is a safety hazard, well within their purview to address, preferably by admonishing those responsible for creating the hazard.
I'm actually not a D&D player; I'm currently involved in Shadowrun, Blades in the Dark and Pathfinder 2. Despite that, I don't consider it very controversial to count a decade as 10 years.
have you ever worked in customer service at scale?
In peace time maybe. In practice on the front expensive industrial drones like DJI Mavic 3 Thermal/Matrice lasts around a week when operating by Arty units and ~one day in infantry according to russian sources from half a year ago.

Western militaries are still in the outdated mindset of treating drones as assets instead of consumables. Germany keeps sending >$xxxK observation platforms to Ukraine despite contacts communicating back survivability rates. That one fixed wing drone cost more than 20 Mavics or 50 domestic drones, and isnt better in any way.
The enormous budget doesn't strongly suggest that Apollo was efficiently organized, though it also doesn't rule it out.

One thing to notice is that the Soviet N1 moon rocket development was very iterative (trial and error based, perhaps somewhat similar to SpaceX today) before it was cancelled, while the Saturn V development apparently was more perfectionist or risk averse. Though the modern SLS rocket development was even more risk averse than in the times of Saturn V.
Since when is Europe a country?

Even the EU is at best a loose (and obviously voluntary/ephemeral what with the UK) collection of generally aligned states.
There is only a cancellation fee if you buy an annual subscription, paid monthly, and then you don't pay for the 12 months you committed to. For people who don't want to buy a year at a time there is a monthly plan that is more expensive since you are no longer buying in bulk.

OP here!

I've got a few different competing ideas at various stages of development.

One idea builds on the programming language I'm building. I am growing more doubtful that it's going to provide the beginner-friendly experience I yearn for. It might be as easy as Elm one day, but that's not good enough for grandma.

Another idea is like "markdown, but with a grid model". That one also does not feel very good right now.

I've also been toying around with something called "BYOD" (bring your own data), where you stitch things together in a simple layout format. This ends up feeling like powerpoint via plaintext, and surprisingly pleasant.
Agreed, and even if Russia was "content" to "only" take the territory they currently have occupied, and Putin could somehow sell this to his population as a "victory" ... the long term situation would be a nightmare.

They would not stop undermining the independence of Ukraine, and would in fact be emboldened to do more. There would be no "peace", there'd be hybrid warfare incursions constantly, they'd start crowing about Russian language rights even more, and use it as a justification for meddling probably at an even more intense level than before. Every election would be undermined, people assassinated, bought off, manipulated.

Remember Russia last year changed its constitution to include Ukrainian land in its borders. Lands which it currently doesn't even occupy.

They have spent the last 10 years selling their population on the line that Ukrainians were doing some sort of genocide on the population in the Donbas -- so just imagine if Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts were split in two, as they are now?

Official Russian ideology is Russo-supremacist, with an Orthodox Christian nationalist veneer. This is not the USSR era, with its "brotherhood of peoples" propaganda. Its right wing nationalist, and imperialist on that basis, and has shown itself willing to attempt to enforce this.

Eventually they'd either get their way and turn Ukraine back into a client state, or invade again.

Russia needs to be pushed back, its defense lines broken and its trade relationships properly severed, its energy exports denied access to the west until a substantial foreign policy shift is made by its leadership.

Oh, and removed from the UN security council or the security council just abolished.

I would not say GANs are self-improving in ways that vanilla NNs are not.
This is not correct. The Beeper client directly connects to Apple's servers while bypassing authorization checks through serial number spoofing. They did not build their own infrastructure based on reverse engineering iMessage.
tangential: i had an idea for a custom keyboard app... it would replace your keyboard with a limited set of scrabble tiles. tiles don't leave your board (and therefore can't be entered into text boxes) unless arranged to form a scrabble-legal word. tiles are replaced with new ones after successfully used. the keyboard would keep track of your running score, and if you switch keyboards, the score resets. never got around to making it though.

Apparently it is a spring boot app. Why are kafka and redis dependencies? Also I see Netty is used but not sure how was the MQTT protocol implemented, which library was used or was implemented in java from scratch?

There was a startup many years ago that I can't remember the name of this who did a similar micropayment tipping sort of thing. The problem was that they essentially collected money on behalf of creators who had no idea the platform existed and they would have to then go and sign up to retrieve funds. I don't want to support creators through something they don't consent to using like that.
I highly recommend the book “One Giant Leap: The Impossible Mission That Flew Us to the Moon”. It focuses on the logistics, coordination, and innovation by the other 400,000 people involved in getting us to the moon.

It makes a compelling argument that the most innovative thing to come out of the program wasn’t tech, but rather project management techniques that allowed parts produced thousands of miles apart to mate perfectly for the first time on tight deadlines and the highest levels of safety and reliability. It’s also an easy read. If you like space it’s worth checking out from your local library.

well, there's more, because operating software is exactly like that and k8s tries to API-fy that, in my opinion with considerable success.

yes, the actual descriptors are atrociously hideous, but it's okay, it's low-level, evolving pretty quickly, and there are nice high-level representations -- https://cdk8s.io/docs/latest/plus/

so, yes, of course, compared to FTP copying PHP files into cgi-bin k8s is more complex, but the feature set is also different.

of course, not everyone needs declarative gitops-based blue-green deployment with pristine dev/demo/staging/UAT envs on each new PR. and usually when people think they do it's mostly just FAANG envy :)

but, speaking from experience, setting up a k3s cluster is easy, cheap, and deploying things on it with a "kubectl apply" is also easy. setting up CronJobs to do backups to some S3-compatible thing is also quite doable, and so on. and you end up with a big bag of YAML. is it better than snapshotting a VM? who knows!

I think you're making a logical jump from a user-initiated contract to a software-as-a-legal-agent-initiated contract. Is there a legal basis for this point of view? To the point of another commenter, the means to enter a contract (pen/paper, by wire, etc.) shouldn't be conflated with the legal right.

For example, IANAL but I have the understanding that the agents of a legal person (e.g., corporation) are specified in legal formation. The CEO, board-of-directors, etc. Is software formally assigned such a role to act on behalf of a legal person?
TOS can and do override DMCA’s general protection for reverse engineering. Look up the Warcraft battle.net case (I think the service was called bnetd?)
This, in my view, is quite a utilitarian (dare I say brutal) look on work and the world.

You are technically correct, in the same way "following the letter of the law" can be technically correct whilst missing the spirit.

For what it's worth, the engineers I have worked with in the past who take this utilitarian view of work often produce the poorer quality work and sometimes be really quite difficult to work with. This is because, with this view, "documentation", "design", "planning", "quality", and all those sorts of things tend to take a back seat in their mind as they become totally engrossed by "MVP", "well it works, so?", etc.

Personally, I think nuance is important here - I agree, there's a time for keeping the lights on, getting something to show, appeasing shareholders, and so on. However, there's also a time for taking a step back and taking some time to design, plan, optimize, ensuring quality, long-term stability, and hell, dare I say a bit of craftsmanship; life is short, might as well enjoy what you are doing for 1/3 of it and lavish in the art.

Takes all to make a world, I guess.

It seemed more like a ‘eh good enough’ guess based on the amount of damage someone could actually do while staying under half a pound. (If crashed into someone/ingested into an engine, ran into a car on the highway, etc.).

Similar to DMV licensing cutoffs. A lot easier to get a license to drive a scooter than a school bus or hazmat tanker.
There is another one (Also Jarvis) that's been around for a while and is more useful, wonder if they can combine forces? https://github.com/ggeop/Python-ai-assistant

Doesn’t matter. If I want to rebook a flight I don’t want to learn every detail of your maze like phone service after getting it wrong and being transferred a bunch of times. And on top of that, trying to navigate a support website or phone service requires intricate knowledge of their rebooking options and policies, which is completely insane and a huge burden to place on individuals sparingly using said services.

The cognitive load these days is pushed onto helpless consumers to the point where it is not only unethical but evil. Consumers waste hours navigating what are essentially internal systems and tailored policies and the people that work with them daily will do nothing to share that with you and purposely create walls of confusion.

Support systems that can’t just pick up a phone and direct you to the right place need to be phased right out, chat bots included. Lonely people tying up the lines are a minority. Letting the few ruin it for the many is going to need more than that kind of weak justification.
There are federal regulations that prohibit operating a GPS at faster than xx mph speeds, basically to prohibit guided missiles, and this would kick in first (may even trigger an error state in the accelerometer or OS, I'm pretty sure).

The app does compare distances neg-Y and pos-Y but I don't know if it checks the rate of ascent to be within some tolerance of throwing speed. You may have found the cheat code, if you can address the speed limit.
These comments at least try to use real economics, even when amateur.

Its refreshing when the vast majority of online discourse about inflation is just shouting “We have inflation because business are so much more greedy than they have EVER been!!!!”

Such operations are gimmicks; the reality is that there has to be a surgeon present who is capable of doing the operation themselves.
> The Doctors of the Church (a period of early writers from the first 300 years or so of Christianity), when they unanimously agree on an issue, are considered to be inspired by the Holy Spirit and almost certainly infallible.

This seems like a type of survivorship bias: The relatively-few ancient manuscripts we have are largely those that were preserved by those who canonized what they regarded as "proper" doctrine.

(Example: Paul's epistles included complaints that people were deviating from what he regarded as the "true" gospel. See Gal. 1.6-11.)

the problem with opencl was that AMD's runtime was so buggy and incomplete that developers usually had to build a whole separate pathway just for AMD. And if you're doing that, you're not portable anyway, so why bother forcing NVIDIA through a more-mismatched generalized API just for the sake of purported "portability"?

it's turtles (broken AMD technical leadership) all the way down.

this is simply not a field AMD cared about, whether you think they were right or wrong (based on their financials or otherwise). and now that it has turned into a cash fountain, everyone wishes it had gone differently. "should have bought bitcoin" but instead of pollution funbux it's investing into your own product.
I don't follow your argument. Verizon's network is federated with AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, whomever. Messages can be routed freely between those networks unadulterated. That is what federation means.

To communicate via iMessage you must use Apple's servers. There are no other servers which can accept iMessage messages and forward them back and forth with Apple's server. (Only in a lossy manner, via MMS.) It is not a federated protocol.

Federation promotes competition. Preventing 3rd party access by any mechanism stifles competition.

If iMessage were federated, as in, Beeper could host their own servers which federate with Apple's, I think more of us would side with Apple here.
"But that one chick I met on tinder laughed at my green bubbles, so I want to use iMessage!!!"
EMQX has several auth modules. We use the Mnesia auth module with HTTP API client id provisioning. They also have NanoMQ, a MQTT broker for IoT edge (on resource constrained devices). The documentation is also quite decent compared to this.

> Your argument appears to hinge on the assertion that fascism lacks a coherent logical framework, dismissing it as primarily propaganda without a logical core.

It's not my argument alone: a lot has been written about fascism and its lack of logical core! There isn't a lot of "logical structure" to it. I don't think "as historically understood" fascism forms a self-consistent logical core; I think it is well studied that is amorphous, illogical and inconsistent, and that's the historical consensus.

> However, identifying the logical structure of an ideology doesn't necessitate endorsing its moral standing.

To be clear, I'm not making a moral argument. I don't believe you support fascism either, and I understand what you're trying to argue. I just think the consensus of people who studied fascism is different to your opinion.

Fascism (regardless of whether it's right or wrong -- and I believe we both believe it to be wrong) is highly illogical. There's not much to it beyond its propaganda. It's riddled with inconsistencies, it's not just "wrong" but there's not much to it beyond appeals to emotion.

> Your reference to "might makes right" does encapsulate a belief system, within the context of fascist ideology, it also follows a logical pattern

We both agree it's a belief system. I disagree it's logical. Not everything with an "idea" (or a bunch of ideas) is logical. "Ideas" are not enough for something to be called logical.

Again, this is not my argument alone. A lot has been written about fascism espousing what I'm saying here.

It bears repeating again, just in case: I'm not making a moral argument. I don't believe you're "defending" fascism either; that's not what I'm disagreeing with. I'm rejecting your assertion that fascism is logical (if mistaken). I'm asserting it's both illogical and mistaken. I would accept something evil and logical can exist, it's just that fascism is not it!
