Why would Iran go out of his way to kill a foreign agent in revenge?

His work was done. It is far more likely that he was killed by his own side as a security measure

That was my first thought as well - and also I had to reminisce about how sad it was that two of the biggest powerhouse technology companies from the early 1990s are no longer: Lotus and Novell. It would have been hard to imagine in the networked PC environment of the early to mid 1990s that those two companies are no longer around, one swallowed up (and spit out) by IBM and the other decayed into pieces. I wonder which of today's technology powerhouses we'll be reminiscing about 30 yrs from now.

By the way there's talk from some gov officials to forbid selling old houses if the BER rating is too low. You will need to spend thousands to get it to some better rating.
While the driving in general is pretty bad, the super car example is partially because there are a lot of companies that rent out super cars by the day/hour.

I can think of only one country that would do something like this.
Because there's no real objective truth about it, it's just what you tell yourself.

If you think people only deserve success because they worked X amount, that's a thought formed by social norms and, most likely, what you were told and how you were treated by your carers when you were growing up.

The question is which of those beliefs will be more conductive towards actually achieving success and being happy?

Instead of trying to guess which is true on some abstract sense, adopt one or the other, and empirically live your life by it for a while, and see the results.

Is it even open source at that point? Sure you can customize the front-end, but is that not standard for food delivery solutions at this point?

The interesting part is the API and the back-end. Making the API proprietary is especially damning, it doesn't just prevent someone from hosting it themselves it prevent someone from interoperating with it. You could of course reverse engineer the API, which is why I don't quite understand the need to keep it proprietary, but having some certainty that things will simply work would be nice.

> Also, those periods of hot weather are getting hotter and longer in duration.

This is why I’d characterize it as potentially earlier use of AC: we’re already seeing many people who didn’t previously need it buying ACs so the greater efficiency of most heat pumps is going to be welcome as that trend accelerates. I live in the mid-Atlantic region and our heat pump system lowered our annual electricity consumption even though we got rid of a gas heater because the savings over our old AC in the summer outweighed our increased winter demand (obviously the numbers in winter are worst for more extreme climates but recent years have really brought significant efficiency improvements vs. older AC designs).

The other thing to remember is that summer is the easiest problem: the times when you need it also tend to be when solar is producing well and that’s cheap and easy to deploy. Winter is much harder because its demand has less sunlight and often coincides with cloudy weather.

Looking at this diagrams I wonder if there are any file systems that allow for metadata to be stored on a separate device. For example store data on HDD and metadata on an associated SSD drive. I guess the benefits would not be extraordinary to outweigh the added complexity since metadata is much easier to cache in memory.
Only if this growth hadn't accelerated because of the actions that caused the fine. If those actions caused you a 10% increase, then 2% is nothing.

Here is the issue that most ESPs are facing.. Every 5-6 months something is being enabled or not from Outlook's side which affects either IPs or the domain name of the sender and messages land in Junk folder or in quarantine zone.
Now, I do know that the IPs might be affected by complaints or spamtraps, or maybe the client sent something suspicious, but trust me most ESPs don't allow those messages to be sent. Also, when the IPs appear GREEN in SNDS, and SPF/ DKIM and DMARC are a part of DNS authentication and headers appear like this: CAT:HSPM;SFS:(13230031)(4636009)(451199024)(7596003)(356005)(7636003)(86362001)(450100002)(8676002)(1096003)(14286002)(34206002)(5660300002)(336012)(26005)(42186006)(9686003)(33656002)(83380400001)(7846003)(33964004)(564344004);DIR:INB;

For obvious reasons I won't share more details, but I bet that from time to time someone is messing with spam filters that can easily result in false positive and angry senders.
In any case, especially when we raised tickets to Outlook, at least please inform your team not to reply like robots. If they will share with us the exact reason why a message landed in junk folder that would really help us. If it is the content, we will change it. If it is related with the sender, we will block the sender. If those are complaints, we will block senders and check their subscription sources, but at least we need something especially when SNDS shows Green IP, 0 spamtraps, 0 complaints.

I think the GPU performance is better for M1 Pro. M3 has better single core performance and a slightly better power efficiency. I don't need single core performance though as I don't do things that need burst performance on a single core. And for battery power, I think any Macbook is way beyond my needs at this point.

Also similar spec'ed Macbook Pro 14 with M3 (non-pro) is above $1900 after tax. Almost 40% more expensive. Not worth it IMHO.

You are right that parent and grandparent should have used semantic HTML instead of web.

But I’m not sure I agree on your definition either. Looking at Wikipedia, semantic web is described, first as Web 3.0 (not to be confused with web3) but I remember it more as a dream of late 90s early 2000, where all data lived on internet accessible urls and had semantic markup, than a tech stack.
Yeah, that is what I'm implying here. I doubt Iran would already have known about Stuxnet by the time he was dead.

You can still rebuild RHEL from CentOS Stream sources if you know what package versions to use, it's just not all in one convenient bundle anymore. Likewise, Ubuntu seems to be getting rid of their convenient bundle.
Evidently not. But I'm not sure if such fines are supposed to be a deterrent or supposed to be to pay to fix the damage done. Somehow I think they are even further from covering the latter.
I think that's reasonable though. I haven't used Windows or any Microsoft product for over 10 years. However, I accept that that means I use software which is relatively obscure and unpopular. I'm happy with my choice, but I don't expect to enforce it on others, and I think it's entirely reasonable (even if it doesn't personally please me) that when communicating with others for work purposes I should use a medium that is used by virtually everyone else rather than expecting them to adopt mine.

We recently replaced our old leaking big-ass-tank gas hotwater service with a continuous flow gas system.

I looked into heat pumps, but cost the of the device + installation + an electrician to run a new line (seemed that would be needed) ... I dont think it was ever going to break even over the rated life span of the system. The cheap ones were still 3 times the price of a gas system, just for the hardware. That and I would have to buy the heatpump from out of town, so getting any warranty/servicing might be more drama. And I really didnt want to listen to a cheap compressor tick-on all the time.

Cookies play a vital role in session state storage, with privacy concerns mainly arising from third-party cookies. The current cookie banner law has led to confusion among non-technical consumers. Legislation, ideally, should avoid delving into technical details and instead focus on principles. Collaborating with entities like the W3C for a standardized browser-integrated approach, perhaps leveraging mechanisms like the ‘do not track’ header, could have been a more effective solution, ensuring user privacy without resorting to intrusive banners.
Is this with Airpods by any chance?

There are three Bluetooth transmission power classes, and traditionally, most devices (including headphones and headsets) used to be Class 2, which has a range of roughly 10 meters, but Airpods are Class 1, which has 10 times that.

There's no real signal processing magic happening other than (significantly, due to the inverse square law involved) bumping up the maximum transmit power from 2.5 to 100 mW.

Both ends of a connection need to support Class 1 for that to work, but at least Apple's devices have consistently done so for many years now as far as I know.

Let me put it this way:

It takes more brain cycles, for me, to look and confirm where the needles are pointing than it does to read a number.

What do you even mean by proof here?

I'll do it differently. A State is a collection of many people, and a lot of States do evil things. The dictatorships in the Middle East, for example, and there is another example I won't include, but you can guess. Do you not see those organizations (because States are organizations at the end of the day), as evil? If corporations in those countries help those regimes, do you think those corporations are still amoral?
I think the author is too naive.

First of all, the authors of the declarations in the example headlines are not "scientists and journalists", they are authorities and journalists. People like CDC officials or the director general of the WHO are of course scientists, but they are not speaking as scientists in those news pieces. They are speaking as politicians.

Secondly, I don't think they used the "no evidence" template so much with COVID because they were "fundamentally confused". Most of the headlines in those examples are clearly politically motivated: authorities wanted people not to panic, to keep working, and above all, to keep consuming. Hence the proliferation of "no evidence" headlines for things like the virus being airborne (inconvenient for bars, restaurants, shops, etc. - in fact one headline explicitly mentions bars and gyms); kids spreading the virus (inconvenient for parents taking their kids to school and therefore being able to work as ususal), etc. Each and every one of the headlines was very convenient to keep the wheels of "business as usual" spinning, what a coincidence, right? So no, they were not "fundamentally confused", they just were trying to bias the public towards a certain direction, and a great way to do that is to use the "no evidence" narrative which, as the post author explains, is ambiguous so no one can accuse them of outright lying.

Note that I'm not saying there aren't examples where such headlines do stem from confusion. I just don't think it's the case of the particular examples in this post.

Are you saying that Arch gets its userspace and drivers from FreeBSD?
The opposite view also implies some sort of cosmic order, it implies that "deserving" is some type of natural, objective currency and that X work must be performed to achieve it.

But that's not how it is, "deserving happiness" or "deserving success" are self-defined thoughts.

Did I "deserve" to eat ice cream yesterday? Yes I did, because I decided that I did.

You're conflating these abstract concepts with a more scarcity mindset about whether you deserve a specific job or accolades or whatnot. If that's how you narrowly define your own success, then you yourself are deciding that you don't deserve it (assuming you're not realistically working towards that specific goal).

I think more common case than postage was downloading ISO on fast office internet and then burning CD-R to carry home; this was era when CD-Rs were the widely available convenient large-capacity portable media. Although that began to be already waning, it was around that time that multi-gigabyte flash drives started appearing.
It is though, instead of getting $100 they are now only getting 98% because they miss 7 days of revenue.

I (self installed) a heat pump and I love it.

Sure, it's not really efficient (COP ~1.5) when it's -10C outside, but this happens 1 day per year. Most of the time the COP is around 4: that means that it uses 1kWh of electricity to produce 4 units of heat. My electricity kWh is .17cts, so the final heat kWh is ~ 0.17/4 = 0.04cts, which is awesome.

Using france's electricity production mix, that means that I can heat my house for 60/4 g/kWh = 15gCO2/kWh.

> Another sad mark in the "wish I didnt have to kill the planet but ..." column.

The high cost of the hardware, installation and maintenance suggests that you would rather "kill the planet" with the system installed?
True in case of a US (but see :1) or EU company, but try not being fired from a Chinese company if you criticize the CP, or from a Russian one if you do the same with Putin. Not all countries respect freedom of expression to the same extent, including seemingly democratic ones, and Israel does not condone any deviation from the established dogma that they're the good guys also when they slaughter thousands of Palestinians, including civilians, and any critic must be dismissed as an apology of terrorism if not straight antisemitism.

This literally doesn't matter. these fines are literally "fun taxes" to deep pockets.

Make them hurt otherwise it won't stop.
Revenue and profit are not the same though.
Wouldn't that hurt margins but also increase market power for these companies?

Also how would it work if the product is already "free" to the consumer, ie Facebook or Google?
This is not how damages work.
While the last sentence is kind of correct it also can be applied to anything, making it pointless. Ie you can equally say "Carta could make all sorts of theoretical arguments your lawsuit is bogus, only matters is what you convince a judge".

In this case there is literally centuries of precedent that will be followed or the judge will be overturned easily.

I have no idea why you are doubling down on a thing you appear to not know a lot about rather than just admit you don't know. You dont learn things this way and you don't look better to anyone who reads the comment.
Should this be measuring against profit, not revenue?

Edit: "This" meaning the claim that they've made enough to pay back fines, not how those fines are decided.

- The Bcachefs file system is now in the kernel

Bcachefs is a next-generation of CoW (Copy-on-Write) file system for Linux (similar to zfs or btrfs with improvements). It has support for snapshots, compression, encryption, caching, replication and more.

- New Futex API

Futex (Fast User-space Mutex) is kernel system call operate directly on user-space to improve performance of locking mechanisms inside programs. Set of significant incremental improvements made to clean up the Futex API.

- Exceptions for BPF virtual machine

Did you know that there's a virtual machine called BPF that runs inside kernal space to safely execute dynamic programs with JIT compilations? BPF (Berkeley packet filter) has been getting more and more improvements over the years and exceptions was the latest improvement to the language.

- Itanium (IA-64) architecture removed for the kernel

IA-64 which was Intel's attempt for 64 bit processor architecture which was completely overshadowed by AMD's x86-64 is now completely gone from the Linux kernel.
Maybe I don't speak English well enough, but I thought that "evidence" and "testimony" were clearly different things. E.g. in a judicial setting, a testimony may need to be backed up by "evidence" - the latter implying "physical", "objective" objects (documents, fingerprints, pictures).

Thanks for sharing. I thought this was the most interesting paragraph:

“Air safety investigators attributed Vulović's survival to her being trapped by a food trolley in the DC-9's fuselage as it broke away from the rest of the aircraft and plummeted towards the ground. When the cabin depressurized, the passengers and other flight crew were blown out of the aircraft and fell to their deaths. Investigators believed that the fuselage, with Vulović pinned inside, landed at an angle in a heavily wooded and snow-covered mountainside, which cushioned the impact.[1][a] Vulović's physicians concluded that her history of low blood pressure caused her to pass out quickly after the cabin depressurized and kept her heart from bursting on impact.[7] Vulović said that she was aware of her low blood pressure before applying to become a flight attendant and knew that it would result in her failing her medical examination, but she drank an excessive amount of coffee beforehand and was accepted.[3]”
