Well they might be, and they might not be. The old saying "you get what you pay for" ought to be "you get at most what you pay for". If you buy the expensive product, it might be higher quality, or it might be the cheap junk with a shiny logo.

I bought a small dining table and 4 chairs from a nearby store that specializes in Scandinavian furniture. I ended up mixing and matching 2 pairs of chairs because I liked the contrast of 2 different styles at different sides of the table. Anyhow, fast forward about 15 years and 4 house moves and the table and 2 of the chairs are rock solid. The other 2 chairs are wobbly junk that I've repeatedly tried to fix but am about to give up on. The table and 2 good chairs were made in Denmark, the 2 shit chairs were made in Malaysia and are just "Scandinavian style" I guess. So yeah, decent stuff is still out there, but perhaps it's harder than ever to parse the marketplace and figure out which items are the high-quality ones. Even if you go to a store with lots of quality stuff, they might have some junk mixed in as they try to expand their market.
>Can you clarify which thing is important/insightful? I want to make sure I’m understanding your comment.

I pointed out several thoughts it led me to in the post. Another is the tool framing Delinates infringement occurring during the manufacture of the tool, and the use of the tool. It also leads to other interesting points like your last one about the paintbrush. I have never heard of intent being used as a criteria of counterfeit. I don't think this is a new class however. I can use Google images and a printer to quickly produce infringing material. What conclusions can be drawn from viewing generative art models through this lens
Governments around the world are terrible at 'catching corporations for lying' in any way. There are manifold examples in every regulatory field, in every country. Examples include Wirecard, Theranos, Volkswagen, Johnson & Johnson talc, etc. In most cases, the regulators are handed the evidence, and take a long time to do anything about it.

In my mind, the question is whether the massive regulatory burdens which protect incumbents and inhibit liberty are worth it. This is not an all-or-nothing question, and might be answered field-by-field, but regulators have not covered themselves in glory.
I guess I simply cannot share your pain because I've never had these problems.

Actually I initially got placed in spam too in Gmail/Outlook but I always replied to my own emails and marked them as "Not Spam" and the problem just kinda disappeared?

When I initially setup my server I was paranoid (as you should be) and so I had the following protocol:

- Send all urgent email with Gmail

- Send non-urgent email with my own server. If I don't get a reply within 24h, send again with Gmail, explaining my email troubles. Usually the other party would happily confirm whether or not my email landed in their spam without me even asking.

It was never a cold-turkey migration to my self-hosted setup. It was more of a slow process over a couple months after I gained more and more trust in my server.
Having things unnecessarily banned is a trade off of enforcing regulations effectively.

Someone has to decide what

The FDA could do better but you’ll never fix that problem unless you don’t allow the FDA

Dennis Giese - the guy who did & published many of the actual vacuum roots - actually did a talk at 37c3, just yesterday! Together with Braelynn he published rooting methods for Ecovacs. Expect easy & comfortable root using the UART debug connector.

Valetudo support seems to be coming, however "it's done when it's done"; the necessary work is more dramatic due to the different protocol Ecovacs uses for cloud communication.

Until then: I would make sure not to update the device firmware. Just be prepared to wait and keep an eye on the release notes and/or Valetudo webpage (unlike with other projects, you can safely assume it to be up to date).

Thanks for your input.

On the p2p topic: Our protocol is p2p and it's already working well in local networks. You can experience the magic yourself: install Anytype in local mode, create a space, and fill it with some data. Open the mobile app and log in with the same phrase, and your data will be synced without any central server, immediately! Isn’t it magical? The network is needed for backups and to solve the closed laptop problem. You can always self-host a network. We believe it's important to give people the ability to be free from a service provider

On the topic of e2e encryption: All your data in Anytype is encrypted at rest; only the indexes of this data (which are created and used locally) are not encrypted. We have plans to also encrypt the indexes. Currently, we assume that the majority of users employ full disk encryption, and if your machine is compromised, it is likely that malicious software can read memory and, therefore, access the keys. Could you please elaborate on the significant vector of attack, so we can consider this case?

Regarding the license, we have covered our logic here: https://blog.anytype.io/our-open-philosophy/. We are passionate about open source, and for some projects, it’s the only viable option. That's why our AnySync protocol and data format are MIT licensed. The clients are currently under a source-available license, as we are still exploring ways to make the ANY association and contributor ecosystem sustainable. Still researching…

Thanks for your kind words towards us and congrats on your progress!
Jokes aside, lookup tables are a common technique to avoid costly operations. I was recently implementing one to avoid integer division. In my case I knew that the nominator and denominator were 8 bit unsigned integers, so I've replaced the division with 2 table lookups and 6 shifts and arithmetic operations [1]. The well known `libdivide` [2] does that for arbitrary 16, 32, and 64 bit integers, and it has precomputed magic numbers and lookup tables for all 16-bit integers in the same repo.

I started to see floaters this year. First, it scared the shit out of me, because I only have one healthy eye and starting to see this flying dots and strings was a really scary experience. It also was just really annoying.

After the ophthalmologist checked my eye, she said what I'm seeing is called "mouches volantes" and it's something that happens when people get older. I'm "only" 37 and don't have any problems with my eyesight, which makes me wonder what caused these floaters in my case.

Anyway, it's something I have to get used to. It only really is annoying on sunny days because then I can see them clearly floating around.
I wouldn't call them supporters, they just had interest in poland and both sides never intended it to be even an middle term agreement.
Your numbers don't add up.

Vogtle was only delayed by 25%, 2.5 years? I thought it was such a disaster and this proved nuclear doesn't work?

Now it's all good?

This says the delay was 7 years:

https://apnews.com/article/georgia-nuclear-power-plant-vogtl...

Oh, and the plant will still be cost effective, apparently, even with those delays.

Oh, and the solar numbers include sufficient batter storage? I saw something about 4h for half the capacity on some of the graphs. Most didn't explain at all.
A human churning butter, spinning cotton, or acting as a bank teller isn't infinitely scalable either. This is orthogonal to the point.

Times change. We're industrializing information creation and consumption (the latter is mostly here already), and we can't be stuck in the old copyright regime. It'll be useless in very short order.

All this road bump will do will give the giant megacorps time to ink deals, solidify their lead, and trounce open source. Twenty years on, the pace of content creation will be as rapid as thought itself and we'll kick ourselves for cementing their lead.

This is a transitional period between two wildly different worlds.
Yes, and a car is fast horse. Your argument does not tell us anything about whether or not GPT should be legal.

Some states are "right to work" states that allow you to not join or pay dues. They tend to be the more conservative / Republican learning states.

More liberal states allow unions to form closed-shop contacts, and most government positions are the same. If you want to be a teacher, you must join the union that contacts with the school you want to teach at.

If you want to get a summer job as a teenager or college kid at a Pepsi warehouse in Minnesota, you must join the union.

Yep. This is the TCS consulting business model.

Interestingly, the meat ag and farming employs (no pun intended) similar tactics with undocumented people working in near-or-de facto slavery conditions that are very dangerous. The major meat processing plants in the US advertise salaries in Mexican and Central American newspapers to encourage migration. And, the US immigration system is a Kafkaesque, Byzantine, understaffed nightmare purposefully to keep official immigration meeting socio-political objectives of appearing selective. In truth, it facilitates megacorps importing large numbers of foreign knowledge workers through official channels while criminalizing and marginalizing undocumented people to be under the thumbs of other megacorps monetizing unpleasant work society inconveniently needs to function.
the ide is not more complicated than your customized Vim setup once you get it close to functionality (you won't). I use all keybindings anyway, so it's not like the UI adds anything bad?

I switched from lightweight editors to IDEs many years ago and my productivity went up A BUNCH - even if sometimes it uses gigabytes of ram. so what? Even my old used machines have 8-16gb of memory now.

I would honestly much rather hire people that work in IDEs than people that like to "hack" on their vi/vim/emacs setup. The number of times I've been in a screen share with someone while they're trying to code or debug something with Vim etc, it just feels so slow to watch them work that I get that embarrassed-for-them feeling.

Yes, Rust makes a few categories of bugs disappear, but there's a vast number of bugs that you can still easily create even using Rust with all linters you can find enabled... just saw on another thread someone complaining a Gemini (poor man's internet) server responded with a Rust panic coming from an `unwrap()` call :D

Very often when I’m digging around GitHub Issues because of some bug or quirk or insanity in the JS ecosystem (which is often) I see someone spout the worst possible take - often being kind of a jerk about it - and when I look to see who’s responsible, very very often, ljharb’s name pops up. Often.

Dogpiling on someone deep in an HN comments tree isn’t exactly the classiest thing but…never having interacted with him myself, I’ve been harbouring this low-grade antipathy towards him - nothing unhealthy, just a groan whenever I see his name on GH - for years now, and it’s cathartic and almost gratifying, given his prominence in the community, to feel seen like this. Thank you.
> Why do even unusually numerate people fear illness, car accidents, and bogeymen, and take safety measures, but not bother to look up statistics on the relative risks?

Its all about the impact of the outcomes. No one is fearing stepping on a lego brick. Getting seriously ill or getting seriously injured in a car accident can be ruinous health wise as well as financially. They are serious implications. Some never recover from illness or car accident. You'll recover from stepping on a lego though ;)
ASCII art also played a big role in the early video walkthrough world too. Back then, sites like GameFAQs only accepted plain text documents for their guides, so ASCII art was the only way to add any form of images or decorations to your work, and make them look more interesting than a giant wall of text.

So the folks who wrote 50,000 word guides to the latest Zelda or Final Fantasy game also usually ended up becoming pretty good as ASCII art too.

Unfortunately, this era also died for various reasons. Most notably, the world of text based guides and simple message boards got replaced by a mix of wikis and sites that could actually support images, as well as video walkthroughs on sites like YouTube.

So when the relevance of GameFAQs and its ilk faded, so did the importance of ASCII art.

6) Post/message. You did this all from your phone. It was free. Everyone you care about automatically knows you’re there and how to reach you in the app. Tap camera icon to post pictures or video.

> Government around the world are constantly catching corporations for lying on their product lists.

Obviously you have to interact with the government if they catch you lying. You're not intended to lie.

The point is that you can have a labeling requirement and businesses can comply with it without having to make regulatory filings or prohibiting products.

> There are risk trade offs to allowing open markets on classes of drugs.

Which is why you have labeling requirements. This is cocaine, it's highly addictive, you probably want to try ibuprofen first.

> but every time someone says that building GUIs with Electron is so easy compared to native apps, I just wished they experienced Delphi in its prime.

Every time someone says that, I mention Lazarus. I stll get a thrill out of using it (one of my github projects is a C library, and the GUI app is in Lazarus, which calls into the API to do everything).

The problem I find with Lazarus is that it seems to be slowly dying; yes, they still work on it, but feature-wise they are very behind what can be done with HTML+CSS and a handful of js utility functions.

A wealthy benefactor could very quickly get Lazarus to the point of doing all the eye-candy extras that HTML+CSS let you do (animated elements, for example).
>And the latter is really what you want, because otherwise Amazon has to play whack-a-mole as the perpetrators just create new accounts

How can they just create a new account to sell supplements without thorough testing, vetting, control processes, etc. by Amazon, the business actually selling the stuff? If Amazon doesn't have such controls in place to stop people from "just creating new accounts" then hold Amazon liable.

Minor trick, if you use separate Firefox profiles, Firefox sync can be enabled between separate profiles, which means you can use it to do things like sync addons between profiles when you're quickly setting things up.

It's not perfect, I do still wish there were better ways to fork profiles in Firefox, but it can cut down on a lot of repeat configuration. And you can set it up, sync your addons over, and then turn it off and diverge from there.
Python is a really bad example of cold blooded software. There is constant breaking changes with it (both runtime and tooling). So much so that the author still has to use python2 which has been EOL'd for quite a while.

A much better example would be something like go or java where 10 year old code still runs fine with their modern tooling. Or an even better example, perl, where 30 year old code still runs fine to this day

> What's more is that you could without too much difficulty get that company not only to profitable status in pretty short order (given that kind of budget), but get it to usage share that matches Firefox's own (given how low that is). This would take something like 3, 4, 5 years max, provided you have competent leadership.

Is your claim that this other browser company would ship an open source browser that is a) gpu-accelerated, b) cross-platform, and c) render Youtube, Tiktok, Reddit, bank websites et al. correctly, and be used by millions of people?
There is definitely a downward usage trend from Mozilla own stats.

I'm sorry? My entire life I've been told that CEOs make 1000x as much money as me for golfing and writing a couple emails a week because they're genius Ubermenschen whose illuminating strategic insights add orders of magnitude more value than my measly toil, but you're telling me it's actually because other executives are willing to take cold calls from them? That's why?

Well they are taking 100s of thousands immigrants as they see reasonable. What is problem with following established rules and timelines? Immigrants would surely be aware of those before even thinking of immigration.

Besides if Europe / Australia / Canada have much simpler immigration why would any skilled/productive prospective immigrant would even think of US.
Looks like a taycan
Not saying the complaint isn't valid, but I see things trending in the right direction. Firefox is fast, support for add-ons is coming (back) to mobile, and Firefox is as free and open and modifiable as always. If we're talking things that are in managers hands, like features and usability, as opposed to user numbers, then the last year was good.
I can accept that you need a competitive advantage to have above normal profits.

But that does not mean innovation at VC scale.

It's enough to be a good technician of some sort who'se good at relationship building and doing some successful marketing(a bit of luck helps) and slowly build a list of regular clients and with time you could make a lot of money, well above an hired technician.
At some point in a developer career one shifts from a tool focus to a work focus.

I used to be picky about my operating system and often would spend time making the tools that I wanted or preferred to use work within the project dev environment, as opposed to just using the tools my employer provided. It usually ends up just being easier, and if everyone is using the same tools then pair programming or collaborating becomes easier, too, as compared to having to deal with the one stubborn dev who insists on using Emacs on a Mac when everyone else is using Visual Studio.
It's a billion in dividends, not just portfolio growth. So it's a check for a billion bucks, with a special 20% tax rate. I couldn't care less about how much money somebody else has, but the inequity in tax rates is quite irritating.
